Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 516

Li Shimin was very speechless, didn't he just build a road?How come it sounds like a tough battle on the battlefield!

Seeing that the emperor didn't speak for a while, Xu Jingzong was taken aback. Could it be that the emperor thought that Su Cheng was blowing too much?

Xu Jingzong hurriedly said: "It's because His Majesty has a long-term vision, the county government's residence is properly arranged, and the subordinate officials are trembling and dare not slack off, so they dare to complete the project before winter."

Su Cheng said with a smile: "Your Majesty doesn't believe it, then please take a good look at Master Xu's face. Your Majesty has seen Master Xu before, and you should know that Master Xu was innocent before. In order to build this road, he has been exposed to the sun for a long time. It can be seen How conscientious and hardworking it is!"

When Xu Jingzong walked into the hall, Li Shimin almost didn't recognize him, because Xu Jingzong was really white and clean before, but now he has become dark and dark.

It can be seen that what Su Cheng said is correct, Xu Jingzong really worked hard to build this road, even Xu Jingzong suffered so much, the people below can imagine.

Li Shimin nodded and said: "I have seen it all. Xu Jingzong has indeed made merit and worked hard to build the road. I am very pleased!"

Although it was just a simple praise, Xu Jingzong almost cried when he heard it, and finally got the emperor's approval!

He, the former scholar of Prince Qin's mansion, lived too aggrieved and was too shameful. Other scholars were either in power or in noble positions, but he was the only one who was knocked out of the dust.

Now he can finally feel proud!

But Xu Jingzong, who had been through the downturn for a long time, did not drift away, but bowed and said: "I dare not take credit for it. The Duke of the county has tried his best to plan and dispatch for the road construction. He has worked hard and made great achievements, and the minister will never be able to catch up!"

Li Shimin couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Toil is worth a lot? Su Cheng probably forgot about the Royal Construction Company, and probably forgot about road construction. How can there be such a thing as hard work?"

Xu Jingzong was taken aback when he heard this, is the emperor going to reprimand Su Cheng?

This is too unexpected. No matter what, Su Cheng, as the principal of the Royal Construction Company, the initiator and decision-maker of road construction, cannot escape the first contribution.

Why did the emperor start to reprimand Su Cheng?

Xu Jingzong suddenly felt that this credit was a bit hot, and he was very worried. Will he cause Su Cheng's dissatisfaction if he received this credit?

If Su Cheng is dissatisfied, let alone he works under Su Cheng, his basic status is not enough for Su Cheng to brag about!

Su Cheng didn't think there was anything wrong, he just touched his nose in embarrassment, because the emperor really said it.

However, even though it was said, he firmly refused to admit it. Su Chenggong said: "I have several jobs, so it is inevitable that I will be busy. In fact, the minister of the Royal Construction Company has been watching. That's why I didn't intervene too much."

Just when Xu Jingzong was trembling with fear, Li Shimin nodded and said: "There is no such thing as hard work, but the merits are justified!"

Su Cheng's contribution is real, and no one can deny it.

What Li Shimin said was just to beat Su Cheng habitually, not really complaining about him.

After all, no matter whether the muskets or white flowers that Su Cheng tossed out in the past year are of great significance to Datang.

If Su Cheng was busy building roads by himself, there would not be so many good things to toss about, wouldn't it be a waste of money?

Su Cheng cupped his hands unceremoniously and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

Standing aside, Xu Jingzong was a little dazed, not knowing whether he should go along with it or not.

Let's go along with it, doesn't it mean that the county magistrate has no hard work at all?

After all, the Duke of the county clearly, clearly, uh, yes, passed by the company building many times!

Don't go along with it, don't you think the Duke's contribution is not high?

Li Shimin smiled and said: "You should be rewarded for your merits. Su Cheng and Xu Jingzong, you go back and make up your mind, draw up a memorial and hand it over!"

Su Cheng and Xu Jingzong respectfully said: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Su Cheng said with a smile: "Your Majesty, in fact, I plan to choose an auspicious day to hold a ribbon-cutting event, that is, to cut the colored satin blocking the cement road, which means that the cement official road is officially open..."

Before Su Cheng finished speaking, Li Shimin had already nodded happily: "Okay, your idea is good, you organize it well, and I will go to cut the ribbon in person. This is my first concrete official road in the Tang Dynasty, and it is of great significance!"

Xu Jingzong, who was next to him, couldn't help feeling in his heart when he heard this, the Duke of the county really deserves to be a person with a deep family, look at this idea, it's perfect!

Su Cheng bowed in response, thinking that Li Shimin really likes pretending as always!

"Xu Jingzong, step back now! Su Cheng, I have something to ask you!"

"Resign!" Xu Jingzong greeted the ceremony respectfully and then slowly withdrew from the hall, but he was envious of Su Cheng's family in his heart.

Li Shimin got up and left the throne, walked around with his hands behind his back and asked, "Su Cheng, how was the horse race?"

"Your Majesty, Princess Zhenzhu is slightly better. However, feelings are not related to winning or losing. In Yichen's opinion, Princess Zhenzhu and King Wu really have no chemical reaction!" Su Cheng said helplessly.

Although Li Shimin didn't go to Sujiazhuang to attend classes, he never missed Su Cheng's courses, so he could understand what Su Cheng said.

Li Shimin couldn't help having a headache and said: "Are you sure?"

Su Cheng nodded and said: "Actually, Princess Zhenzhu already guessed that I was matching her with King Wu that day."

After hearing this, Li Shimin asked quickly, "Oh? How did Princess Zhenzhu react?"

Su Cheng smiled wryly and said, "Princess Zhenzhu is very upset, she jumped on the horse and left!"

Li Shimin couldn't help frowning when he heard this, he was very dissatisfied in his heart, he had already put all the children of the royal family out for Princess Zhenzhu to choose, and the Wu Wang Li Ke he chose was a good son-in-law with both civil and military skills, he did not expect Princess Zhenzhu to be so I don't know good from bad!

Li Shimin snorted coldly: "My Ke'er is both civil and military, elegant and suave, and is a leader in the world. Does Princess Zhenzhu even look down on Ke'er?"

Su Cheng pondered: "Your Majesty, I have some doubts now. Is Tubo planning to make a marriage? We can't be mistaken, right?"

It would be really embarrassing if you got the wrong meaning!

The embarrassment is thrown to Tubo!

Li Shimin snorted coldly: "Do they really think that I have to make peace with Tubo? It's just that they occupy the geographical advantage. Do you really think that I can't do anything with Tubo?"

Su Cheng almost gave a thumbs up and praised him, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty finally realized, what kind of kiss is it? Big fists are the last word!"

Li Shimin couldn't help but glared at Su Cheng. Although he said that, he still wanted to make a kiss in his heart!

Because the plateau is indeed a natural barrier for the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, it is difficult to completely destroy Tubo, but for Tubo, they can go to the plateau to plunder at any time.

Although it will not be no threat to the entire Tang Dynasty, it is disgusting enough and annoying enough, and what makes him even more scruples is that he cannot realize his ambition.
