My servant in the Tang Dynasty is Li Shimin

Chapter 232 Unprecedented, Duke Protector of the Tang Dynasty!
"In a few days, Xiao Lizhi will be 12 years old. This matter cannot be taken care of."

Empress Changsun was sitting upright, her eyebrows were picturesque and poetic, her tone was neither tight nor slow, full of softness, which made people feel like a spring breeze.

"This matter can't be delayed, otherwise when Prince Wang really regards Xiao Lizhi as his younger sister, the situation will be troublesome."

Although she only went to Lantian County to meet Wang Yuan a few times, Empress Changsun was really satisfied with this prospective son-in-law.

The only problem is that Wang Yuan doesn't seem to be tempted by Xiao Lizhi. He treats her not so much as a maid, but as his own sister.

This trend is not good, and they must be corrected in time.

"Besides, to become the son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty, one must also obtain the approval of the clan. At the very least, a noble title must be arranged for the prince."

"Well, Maid Guanyin, you are right, and I am planning to do this."

Li Shimin nodded in agreement, and then told Empress Changsun about his plan to canonize Wang Yuan as Duke Protector.

"Your Majesty, are you planning to confer the title of Prince Protector?"

After hearing these words, Empress Changsun was stunned immediately, her petal-like delicate face was stunned for a moment, she raised her hand, and covered her lips subconsciously.

This is Duke Hu, not Qin Shubao's Hu Guogong.

The difference between one word, but the meaning is very different!
But think about it, Prince Wang is indeed worthy of this title.

"It's just Your Majesty, there is no fiefdom in Guanzhong now, if you want to canonize the prince as Duke Protector, where does His Majesty want to give him the fiefdom?"

Empress Changsun frowned and expressed her doubts.

"Indeed, there is no fiefdom in Guanzhong, so I plan to reward him with the four continents of Liaodong."

Seeing Empress Changsun showing shock, Li Shimin quickly explained.

"Actually, Guanyin maidservant, you don't have to worry at all. The big dog only knows how to fish in Lantian County."

"Even if he is given a fief, he won't send someone to take care of it. At most, he will wait in Lantian County to collect taxes."

"And now that Liaodong has just been conquered, there are still many remaining Koryo people. At least within ten years, it will be difficult for Liaodong to have too much tax to pay."

"It's better to throw this mess directly to the big dog and let him solve this problem for me."

"I don't believe it anymore, he can still make a flower out of Liaodong Sizhou."

"So, His Majesty is still brooding over the past?"

Hearing this, Empress Changsun couldn't laugh or cry.

"Your Majesty, is it too much for you to treat the prince like this?"

"Yes? It's obvious that the big dog is the one who really went too far!"

Li Shimin was very disapproving, curled his lips and said.

"Now almost the entire Tang Dynasty knows that whether it is sweet potatoes, genetic rice, waterwheels, Quyuanli, or Yuandao, they are all related to a mysterious young man."

"Whether it's the common people or the governors of various states and counties, they are erecting longevity monuments for this young man, praising his merits."

"I just came back, and I saw no less than one hundred memorials on this matter in the Imperial Study Room."

"It's basically requests from various states and counties to confer the title of that young man."

"It can be said that the big dog has pushed me to the point where I can't ride a tiger."

"But even so, that big bastard still refuses to reveal his identity."

"I still have to sneak around there. Even if I agree to be named Duke, I only agree to use my name."

"I won't take revenge on him, how can I?"

"This time, I'm going to seal Liaodong Sizhou to him, and I'm going to keep the canonization documents and waiting seals in the palace. I want to see how scared that big dog will be!"

"Well, since you have said so, Your Majesty, it is not good for the concubine to have any opinions."

Empress Changsun smiled and supported, but she didn't feel any worries for the prince, because she always felt that the prince must have some other countermeasures.

The most important thing is that His Majesty canonize the prince as Duke now, so his marriage with Li Lizhi will be without any obstacles.

"Well, that's all for now."

Li Shimin continued:
"Now we will see how the ministers will react when I announce this matter tomorrow morning."

"Need to say? This is the youngest Duke in the history of the Tang Dynasty. They will definitely be scared to death."

"Haha, yes!"

……

The next morning, at the Ganlu Hall, the early morning began.

All civil and military ministers lined up on both sides, standing in the hall and waiting.

After all, this is His Majesty's first early court after returning from the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo, so it is natural to take it seriously.

"The victorious army in Liaodong will return tomorrow."

Li Shimin first announced an unimportant news to stabilize everyone's hearts.

Then he glanced around, and continued to speak to the confused crowd.

"In addition, the recent spread of genetically modified rice, sweet potatoes, refined salt, etc. in our Datang territory has been buzzing."

"There is also Yuandao appearing and communicating with Chang'an and Yuhang. Do you know who did these things?"

Hearing Li Shimin's question, the ministers below immediately made eye contact.

In fact, this incident has been happening for a while, and it has caused a lot of trouble. Countless people are guessing the identity of the mysterious young man.

But why did His Majesty suddenly mention it at this time?
Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, and Du Ruhui who knew the truth a long time ago were even more depressed and completely confused.

Your Majesty, why did he suddenly bring up this matter?

What does he want to do?
Thinking about it, Fang Xuanling walked out first, and cupped his hands.

"Actually, when Yuandao first started construction, I had already sent people to investigate, but there was no information about who that young man was."

Although he didn't know what His Majesty was thinking, Fang Xuanling still started to cooperate.

This scene made Li Shimin a little surprised, Xuanling's ability to open his eyes and tell nonsense is really getting more and more proficient.

Seeing Fang Xuanling taking the lead, other ministers also spoke one after another.

"That's true. When Yuandao was established, I had carefully investigated it, but the people who worked there didn't know anything about the builders."

"The builder seems to have sent some servants to manage it, but every time those servants see us coming, they immediately sneak away and dare not show their faces at all."

"It's sweet potatoes, genetic rice, and all kinds of strange inventions. I think this young man should come from a mysterious family."

"I think it should be the rumored Gongshu family that hasn't been born for a long time."

"Second, the minister also agrees."

This speculation was unanimously agreed by many ministers below.

The so-called Gongshu family is actually a descendant of Lu Ban, and has always been famous for its miraculous mechanism skills.

It's a pity that this aristocratic family has not entered the world since the Sui Dynasty. There are so many famous mountains and rivers in the Tang Dynasty, and I don't know where they are hiding from the world now.

All the ministers are eagerly discussing.

In the past, His Majesty did not publicly express his attitude, and they could only speculate behind his back, but now they can finally put it on the table for discussion.

Seeing this scene, Li Shimin looked to a corner, and Li Jing, who stood there silently, immediately nodded understandingly.

Immediately, he stood up and said.

"Your Majesty, it doesn't really matter who the subject thinks this person is."

"Although this person is unwilling to reveal his identity, it is a fact that he has been kind to my Tang people."

"Any of his achievements are of great significance. The combination of many things makes my Tang Dynasty a heaven on earth."

"A year ago, 10 people in my Tang Dynasty suffered from hunger and cold."

"And today, one year later, not only are the people living and working in peace and contentment, but the grain in the official warehouse has also doubled."

"This mysterious young man's contribution to my Tang Dynasty has long been beyond common sense."

"Even if you look at history, there is no second saint who can compare with him!"

"Indeed, he is a unparalleled saint with great kindness and great virtue, and his contributions are unparalleled in the world!"

"Unparalleled in the world!"

In the hall, no matter whether they were ministers from aristocratic families or other ministers, they all agreed with these words.

Because it is indeed true!

Just the fact that the entire Tang Dynasty was completely freed from famine is a great achievement even the legendary Confucius can hardly hope for!
Food is the paramount necessity of the people, and this mysterious young man, with his own efforts, supported the entire Tang Dynasty!

"What the Duke of Dai said is true!"

"This year, the income of my Datang treasury has increased so much, and it's all because of this young man!"

"Such a great achievement is unparalleled in the world!"

"You are right."

Seeing this scene, Li Shimin was very satisfied with Li Jing's performance.

It is worthy of being a ruthless person who can boast of being a big dog for more than an hour without repeating himself.

With the atmosphere, it is very familiar.

"It's just that now, we don't know who this person is?"

"If you can't confirm your identity, you can't be canonized. What should you do now?"

"Everyone, what's your opinion?"

"Your Majesty, I dare to think that your words are unfair!"

Li Jing retorted with a straight face, his face extremely serious.

"Credit is credit, how can you not give a reward because the other party hides his identity?"

"My Tang Dynasty will never treat meritorious persons badly. Whether it is because he is indifferent to fame or fortune, or because he doesn't want it, we still have to reward him!"

"That's the real attitude!"

Hearing this, regardless of what other people think, anyway, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, and Du Ruhui have completely recollected it.

fuck!

Are Your Majesty and Li Jing putting on an act?

This is too fucking hypocritical, right?
Simply disgusting!Not for the Son of Man!

Contempt, serious contempt!

"Your Majesty! I think what Dai Guogong said is right!"

Changsun Wuji spoke immediately, tears streaming down his face as he spoke:

"Such a great contribution must be rewarded severely!"

"The minister agrees!"

"Such a sage who reaches the sky, if he doesn't give a reward, can he convince the public?"

Not to be outdone, the other three also cried bitterly and begged loudly.

This scene shocked all the uninformed ministers around, and also made Li Shimin and Li Jing full of question marks.

Are these guys sick again?
