After a long time, the princess looked aggrieved and said pitifully: "During the day today, my eldest grandson's sister-in-law told me this. Now that I'm begging you, second brother, I didn't expect you to say the same thing." :(/

Li Shimin had a very iron-faced expression. He stretched out his hand and poked Princess Gaomi's forehead gently, scolding: "Can you learn from Xiuning? See what Xiuning did? She wanted to help Gu Tianya solve the fate of Han women.

The question is, take the initiative to take a Chinese woman into the back house of the Hui family as a concubine. Isn’t Xiuning a woman? Doesn’t she want to enjoy Gu Tianya’s favor exclusively? She must also want to, but she is Gu Tianya’s legal wife.

A true wife must be generous..."

Then he glared at Princess Gaomi again and said: "Look at you again, you are also the head wife of a large family, but Duan Lun has a daughter-in-law like you. I think that fat man is in trouble for the rest of his life."

Princess Gaomi lowered her head with a scornful expression, and said angrily: "I am not the third sister Xiuning. There may not be a woman like her in hundreds of years. Forget it, second brother, please don't get angry. At most, I won't ask for a girl.

That's it for you, I'll go back and resolve this matter myself..."

Li Shimin suddenly smiled coldly and said: "If my guess is correct, I'm afraid you have already made two preparations. First of all, you are coming to the palace to ask your eldest grandson's sister-in-law to help you reject Duan Lun's task. If you fail, come here

I'm making a lot of noise here, but you actually know very well that neither your eldest grandson's sister-in-law nor I can agree to it, so you have a second-hand preparation, which is to restrict Duan Lun from consummating his marriage with a Han woman, right?"

Princess Gaomi was stunned for a moment, with a trace of panic on her face.

Li Shimin snorted and said: "Don't blame me as the second brother for reminding you that it has been a national policy for officials to marry Han women. The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty not only wanted to marry Han women, but also allowed Han women to have children.

Only by accomplishing this can we lead the people. Your man is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry and belongs to one of the six departments of the court. He has no escape from this matter. According to his rank, he must marry at least five Han men.

Only women can do that.”

He paused slightly and his tone suddenly became serious. He sneered and said: "If you don't care about Duan Lun's position as Minister of the Ministry of Industry? Then I can help you remove his mission. But the official position must also be removed at the same time. From now on

From now on, he will be idle at home. Anyway, your family is already very rich. It is not short of Duan Lun’s salary as Minister of the Ministry of Industry..."

Princess Gaomi was startled at first, and then spoke in a hurry: "Second brother, second brother? The girl is wrong? Isn't it okay to be wrong? I won't stop this matter anymore, Duan Lun can marry as many as he wants."

"It's not enough just not to stop it!"

Li Shimin's tone was still serious, and he continued: "As the Duan family's wife, you have the responsibility to treat the Chinese women you marry into your family well. Although your man is fat, he has a good physique? So, you know what to do

How to do it……"

Princess Gaomi looked helpless and sighed: "Will all the five men I marry be pregnant? In that case, I'm afraid it won't be completed for a while."

Li Shimin hesitated for a moment, then relaxed slightly and said: "At least two Han women must be pregnant. This is a task that must be achieved at the minister level."

"Okay? I'll force him to have some snacks." Princess Gaomi looked dismayed.

Empress Changsun had been watching with cold eyes, and only then did she laugh softly? Just as she was about to comfort Princess Gaomi, suddenly there was a loud sound outside.

The imperial study room is the most important place in the harem? How can we allow noise to be made on weekdays? So all three people in the room were shocked and looked at the door of the room involuntarily.

The sound that can be heard outside the royal study? And it is also a pounding sound? It can only be one kind? That is a bird passing a message.

Empress Changsun almost didn't think about it and blurted out directly: "I'm just telling you, there will definitely be a letter from Xiuning."

The Tang Dynasty currently has ten Taoist houses, and each Taoist mansion raises birds. Although they all raise birds, they are not qualified to directly send messages to the emperor.

If the Taoist government has urgent matters that need to be reported, the birds released will fly to the Zhongshu Province among the three provinces, and then the Zhongshu Province will determine whether to disturb the emperor immediately according to the priority.

If it was an emergency, he would definitely be sent to the palace immediately.

But if it’s not too urgent, then leave the report until the morning of the next day.

So looking at the entire world, only Li Xiuning's Bird Passage is allowed to fly directly to the palace.

In the past, it was flown to the founding emperor Li Yuan, but now it is flown to the new generation emperor Li Shimin.

This is Li Xiuning's privilege and also the privilege of the Youyun Gu family.

…

A guard soon reported outside the royal study and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, there are birds coming from the north."

Li Shimin glanced at Empress Changsun and found that the empress looked expectant and had no intention of leaving. Then he looked at Princess Gaomi and found that his sister also had expectations on her face.

Li Shimin hesitated for a moment, then finally waved towards the door and said: "Xiu Ning's birds are usually letters from home. If it involves government affairs, they will use the red feather messenger. Therefore, this must be a letter from home. Send it in.

I will read the letter with the palace."

Everyone knows that this is just an excuse, and its purpose is just to allow Empress Changsun and Princess Gaomi to stay in the imperial study. The guard outside is so smart, how could he be confused about such a matter, so the guard did not express his position and treated him respectfully.

The bamboo tube carrying the bird's message was delivered.

The fire paint on the bamboo tube is still there.

Li Shimin was obviously a little impatient and said directly: "Bake the fire paint and take out the letter."

The guard agreed, took out a fire stick and lit it.

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun raised their feet in unison, and Princess Gaomi from behind also stepped forward subconsciously. The three of them stared at the bamboo tube without blinking, and said almost at the same time: "I wonder what Xiuning's letter said? Could it be about Gu Tianya's marriage?

Something about Han women?"

…

The fire paint on the bamboo tube quickly melted, and the guard carefully took out a ball of silk from it.

Li Shimin reached out and grabbed it, then waved his hand to the guard and said calmly: "You don't have anything to do here, go out and take people around..."

The guard lowered his eyebrows, as if he had not seen Empress Changsun and Princess Gaomi in the imperial study at all. However, he did not forget to salute when he exited. He was obviously a person who did everything right.

Li Shimin stared at the guard's back before going out, and then said with appreciation: "Li Chong's temperament can be put to great use."

Empress Changsun chuckled at the side and said sympathetically: "After all, he is also a direct descendant of the royal family. He can be regarded as the leader of the third generation."

Li Shimin nodded, suddenly frowned and said: "It's a pity that this kid also has a problem, that is, he always wants to go to Youzhou, saying that he wants to study with Gu Tianya, so that he can become a commander-in-chief of Baiqi Division with both civil and military skills.

…”

Empress Changsun did not comment on this matter. She just pointed at the letter in Li Shimin's hand and urged: "Your Majesty, please open it quickly and take a look. What did Xiuning write? We haven't received a letter from her for a while."

Li Shimin said "hmm" and slowly unfolded the silk fabric.

When they saw it, they were stunned for a moment, but it turned out that the handwriting on it surprised the three of them. This letter was not sent by Li Xiuning.

It was written by Gu Tianya.

The first sentence of the letter sounded very aggrieved:

"Second brother, I didn't sleep with a man. This matter was purely the work of elder brother Jiancheng and Zhao Ning. Second brother, you have to be careful. Eld brother and Zhao Ning are also eyeing you. I guess you can't escape either...

…”
