Chapter 23

Li Shimin sat there, looking carefully at the things written by Li Zhi. Li Zhi stood there, not daring to breathe.

He didn't expect that Li Shimin would come here at this time. Generally speaking, Li Shimin would not come to his study at night.

"Well, there is some reason, but why didn't I write it clearly? There is also the businessman's affairs, which talks about the benefits of the businessman, why didn't I talk about the disadvantages of the businessman? The previous discussion is OK, but here is not the disadvantages of the businessman? Why?" Li Shimin asked at Li Zhi standing there, and Li Zhi looked up at Li Shimin.

"Why didn't you say that?" Li Shimin looked at Li Zhi and asked again.

"I said it, I have no record!" Li Zhi nodded and said.

"What Boping said? All these are what he said?" Li Shimin raised the manuscripts in his hand and asked Li Zhi.

When Li Zhi heard this, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed and said, "Father, if you want to punish me, I will punish me. Boping said before, asking me not to record. These are all immature thoughts, and it won't work if I spread them out! But I thought about recording them so that I can continue to think about these issues in the future, Father!"

"Well, I didn't say I'd be punished. Get up first, did Boping say that?" Li Shimin put down the manuscript, helped Li Zhi up and asked.

"Yes, it was him who said that during this period, every time my son-in-law went to his house, he would have an insight. Today he talked about the affairs of the soldiers and the imperial examinations. From the imperial examinations, he extended it to paper and printing, and then to craftsmen and merchants.

However, only the businessman was discussed, but the other aspects were not discussed yet!" Li Zhi nodded, then looked at Li Shimin and said, "Can you not punish Boping?"

"Ha, when did I be punished for my words? Besides, these things still make some sense. No wonder Zhinu said that he is a talented person in the world.

However, it's not possible now. He is still too immature now. Many things look good, but they cannot be implemented. How can the court rules be changed just by saying that they are corrected? This requires a process!" Li Shimin smiled and said to Li Zhi. When Li Zhi heard it, he felt much more relieved.

"Today, you and Chengyang were not in the palace, but went to Boping's mansion?" Li Shimin signaled Li Zhi to sit down and then asked.

"Yes, we have been discussing for a day. If Chengyang hadn't reminded us, we wouldn't have known it was already evening. We had dinner in Boping's mansion before we returned to the palace!" Li Zhi ordered winter and said to Li Shimin.

"Have you been staying in Chengyang for a day?" Li Shimin then looked at Li Zhi and asked, but Li Zhi nodded.

"How can this girl stay in someone else's house for a day? You won't remind me?" Li Shimin looked at Li Zhi with a little displeasure.

"Father, son minister, son minister, that, Chengyang, um!" Li Zhi didn't know what to say. In fact, he hoped that Chengyang and Qin Huaidao were together.

But he couldn't say this, it depends on Li Shimin's meaning. They couldn't make the decision on the princess' marriages, and Li Shimin also considered whoever his family was married. He couldn't say that he would marry whoever the princess liked.

"What's wrong? He is hesitating!" Li Shimin stared at Li Zhi and asked.

"Father, my son feels that Chengyang has a heart for Boping, but Boping doesn't know yet!" Li Zhi mustered up the courage and said, hoping to make this happen.

"What?" Li Shimin heard it, stood up suddenly, staring at Li Zhi fiercely.

"The father atones for his sins. Chengyang is still young, and Boping is indeed a talented person. You know that Chengyang also likes to study. When they are with Boping, they can discuss it from time to time!" Li Zhi knelt there and persuaded Li Shimin.

"Shut up!" Li Shimin stared at Li Zhi very angrily and shouted, but Li Zhi didn't dare to speak anymore.

Li Shimin stood there, after thinking about it, he said to Li Zhi in a very serious tone: "From today, if you dare to take Chengyang to Boping's Mansion, I will not spare you!"

"Ah!" Li Zhi looked up at Li Shimin in shock.

"Privately convict for life? After it is spread, will Chengyang still live? Where can I put my face? Well? Can you still indulge it?" Li Shimin lowered his head and stared at Li Zhi and criticized fiercely.

"Can!"

"What's the matter? I will naturally consider the marriage in Chengyang! There are so many brothers above you, and it's not your turn to consider it!" Li Shimin interrupted Li Zhi and warned Li Zhi.

"Yes!" Li Zhi lowered his head helplessly, while Li Shimin sat down and rubbed his head: "This girl has grown up!"

"Father, my son is brave. Can you let Chengyang and Boping be together?" Li Zhi carefully tested Li Shimin, with hope in his eyes.

"Hmph, what do you know? Even if I agree, can those generals agree? Boping is the eldest son, and he is the princess? Live in the princess's house? As long as I say this, all the generals will object!" Li Shimin snorted coldly, staring at Li Zhi and saying seriously.

"But didn't the eldest sister marry Changsun Chong?" Li Zhi muttered in a low voice.

The eldest sister he mentioned was the eldest daughter of Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, Princess Zhang Le, who married Changsun Wuji's eldest son, Changsun Chong.

"How can it be the same? Your uncle is to support me! I want to marry those aristocratic families, but those aristocratic families don't agree. There is no way, your uncle needs to express his opinion, but Boping is different. I know that those generals have opinions about me about the last time, although they didn't say it, but! OK! I won't discuss this matter!" Li Shimin waved his hand irritably.

He knew that as long as he asked Princess Boping, those martial artists would come out to oppose it as soon as possible, and even said that the court and the other party would oppose it. Boping was the eldest son of Duke Yi's mansion and inherited the title.

If Princess Shang, it would be an insult to the Duke of Yiguo's mansion.

In the Tang Dynasty, marrying a princess cannot be said to marry, but to marrying a princess in the Tang Dynasty and even speaking of most dynasties in history was a tragic thing. The princess lived in the princess's house. If the princess wanted to sleep with the princess, she had to go through the princess' consent. In this era, it was simply an insult, so no one was willing to marry a princess, and the Tang Dynasty was no exception.

"But, it can be seen that Chengyang really likes Boping!" Li Zhi said with his head down.

"Okay, don't say it anymore! I have my own plans. I am not allowed to take Chengyang to Boping Mansion. Have you heard it?" Li Shimin interrupted Li Zhi's words and warned him fiercely.

"Yes!" Li Zhi responded helplessly.

Li Shimin sat there thinking. Seeing Li Zhi's helpless expression, Li Shimin spoke, "Can you convince Boping to go to the princess's mansion in the future?"

"Ah?" Li Zhi heard this and looked up at Li Shimin in confusion.

"If you can't convince me, how can Chengyang marry Boping?" Li Shimin stared at Li Zhi and asked.

"But sister, isn't the eldest sister not living in the princess's mansion, but living in her uncle's mansion?" Li Zhi immediately asked back and said that Princess Changle's princess' mansion was still there, but she basically didn't live, but lived in Changsun Wuji's mansion.

"You, you, can this be the same? The princess in Chengyang is majestic?" Li Shimin stood up angrily and cursed at Li Zhi.

"If Chengyang likes it, I guess she doesn't want it!" Li Zhi muttered in a low voice again.

"You are so angry that I'm so angry that she doesn't want it, I want it!" Li Shimin walked quickly in Li Zhi's study with his hands behind his back, and suddenly stood up and cursed at Li Zhi. When Li Zhi heard it, he lowered his head and said nothing.

"Did you hear what I said?" Li Shimin shouted at Li Zhi who was staring at him with his head down.

"I heard it!" Li Zhi nodded and said.

"At up, it's not a good idea, there is no worry-free, none of them!" Li Shimin sat in a furious chair next to him, cursing angrily, and Li Zhi stood there and could only listen.

The father and son had nothing to say.

About half a quarter of an hour later, Li Shimin suddenly said, "In the future, you can often go to Boping's mansion, but you are not allowed to take Chengyang. In addition, you have to complete the homework assigned by the master. You have not found your figure today! I thought you were going outside and messing around!"

"Yes, thank you, Father!" Li Zhi nodded dullly, feeling unfair to Li Shimin's refusal to let Chengyang and Boping be with him.

"Continue to organize your things. Those things cannot be said to be wrong, but they are not all right. You need to identify them yourself, organize them, and send a copy to me, and I will also check them.

In addition, just as you sorted out just now, write down your insights and let me see if your thoughts are right!

Also, don’t tell Boping about this. If Boping knew about it, I probably wouldn’t discuss it with you with his cautious personality!" Li Shimin reminded Li Zhi that he was shocked by the remarks that Qin Huaidao said.

Even said that many suggestions are correct, but they cannot be implemented now, and the involvement is too large, so I can only do it slowly. Especially for the matter of the imperial examination, Li Shimin attached great importance to it, but Qin Huaidao and Li Zhi did not discuss too much today, just one of them was discussed, business!

Therefore, Li Shimin wanted to see if there were any high-profile opinions on Boping's side. Li Shimin did not want the officials in the court to be monopolized by those aristocratic families. However, without the poor scholars, Li Shimin would have to use them, otherwise the court would be in chaos.

"Oh, boy, remember!" Li Zhi nodded.

Li Shimin sat there and thought for a while and said, "There is more than a month left, and Boping Dingyou will expire, right? Tell him that after the expiration, let him submit his statement as soon as possible. I have arrangements for him!"

"Ah, yes!" Li Zhi was a little happy for Qin Huaidao when he heard Li Shimin say this, but then he couldn't help asking: "Father, what position have you arranged for him?"

"Hmph, do you know this?" Li Shimin looked at Li Zhi unhappily and said.

"Oh!" Li Zhi nodded in disappointment.

"Okay, be busy with your own affairs!" Li Shimin said, standing up and walking outside.
