Traveling across the heavens starting from the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 61: It doesn’t sound good to offer sacrifices to the marquis
I learned that Changle was not opposed to the idea of ​​​​giving Li Huaian a marriage.

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun began to discuss the matter of Li Huaian and Changle. No matter what, the eldest princess of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty could not marry a white man at will.

Even though Li Shimin and Li Huaian only exchanged potatoes for the eldest princess.

But when Li Shimin decided to grant the marriage and Changle agreed, the whole thing was no longer a simple exchange.

It's about the royal family's face.

Li Huaian can't be a white man who at least has an identity that looks good. The fifth surname Qi Wang is embarrassed by this face. He doesn't care about Li Huaian, a white man, who marries his legitimate daughter.

Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, cared.

"Snapped."

Li Shimin threw the memorial on the table and said to Queen Changsun beside him with an angry look on his face.

"I am at a disadvantage both inside and outside of this partnership. For marrying Changle to him, for the sake of face, I have to lick my face and give him a title. This title cannot be lower."

"How can there be such a truth? I agreed to his conditions and also gave him a title for free."

"My Majesty sent it out in a hurry."

Empress Changsun comforted her at the side: "Erlang, the agreement you made with Li Huaian sounds like a joke. To be fair, a potato is only exchanged for the eldest princess of our royal family and a title. It is already the royal title of our Tang Dynasty." Take advantage."

"It's so cheap. If the previous emperors knew about it, I'm afraid they would be willing to give it away to any number of princesses, not to mention the eldest princess. They would still rush to give it away."

"After all, this potato, as long as the court executes it properly, is not as simple as feeding the people. It is an auspicious thing that can extend the fortune of the Tang Dynasty."

As the queen of the mother world.

Empress Changsun still had some political vision. After learning about the existence and yield of potatoes, she saw the future of the Tang Dynasty from potatoes.

At least the Tang Dynasty will be more calm when facing famine in the future. If there is less famine in the Tang Dynasty, the people will stay in peace and order, and there will be less unrest in the world.

This potato looks small, but it has a long connection to the national destiny of the Tang Dynasty.

"Moreover."

"Erlang, look through the history books. Before the Tang Dynasty, from the ancient times to the previous dynasties, the Shennong family tasted all kinds of herbs and determined the five grains as the ration of our Chinese people. Until now, for thousands of years, there has not been another one like Shennong. The people of this clan have ordered new food for the people of the world to use as rations.”

"Although potatoes are not yet classified as a staple food, the yield of potatoes can keep all people fed and alive. It is not an exaggeration to call them a little Shennong."

"Such a person appeared in the Tang Dynasty and during the reign of Erlang. This shows that the Tang Dynasty was blessed and that Erlang was so loved by nature that he could have such auspiciousness."

"As the eldest daughter of you and me, and as the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty, Changle should sacrifice herself for the sake of the Tang Dynasty."

talking.

Queen Changsun changed the topic.

"Perhaps this is also Changle's blessing, isn't it?"

"Guanyin Maid, I am not afraid that I have wronged Changle by marrying a white woman. I am afraid that when I get along with other sisters in the future, I am afraid that I have treated her poorly."

Li Shimin took the hand of Empress Changsun. As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, how could he not understand the reason? But as a father, he still couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.

This is different from marrying Changle into the eldest grandson's family.

A person who knows his roots well is still his in-laws and uncle’s family.

A minister is nothing more than an offering of potatoes.

How can the two be compared.

If it weren't for the fact that as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he couldn't break his promise to the world, Li Shimin would have just swallowed the potato and ignored the exchange agreement reached with Li Huaian. Anyway, the potato was already in his hands, and it had become an established fact. No matter what Li Huaian had, Even if you don't have the guts to run to the palace and snatch this potato away.

Even if Changle couldn't marry into the eldest grandson's family, he could still find a son-in-law from another family in the court.

Li Shimin thought that the boy in Xuanling's house, Xing Guogong's house, was good.

In particular, Yuan Ling is known as a henpecked master in Chang'an City. I think the boy who comes to Yuan Ling's family should also inherit his father's henpecking.

In this way, Changle would not be wronged when she married into the Duke of Xing's house.

"Have you ever thought about something?"

Queen Changsun asked.

"Guanyin, what have you thought about?"

Li Shimin came back to his senses and looked at Queen Changsun.

Queen Changsun thought for a while and expressed her guess.

"If Li Huaian can produce such a high-yield potato, will he have other grains that have not appeared in the Tang Dynasty?"

"Or does he know where there is grain overseas that has not appeared in the Tang Dynasty?"

Li Shimin nodded upon hearing this.

He agrees with this speculation. For thousands of years, no new grain has appeared in China. However, Li Huaian has a new grain in his hands. It is such a high-yielding grain. It is hard to believe that there is only one kind. of.

"In this way, Erlang will give Li Huaian a title, so as not to make him lose his sense of belonging to the Tang Dynasty. With the title, Erlang will have time to get close to Li Huaian slowly in the future. Take a look at Li Huaian's hand. Are there any good things in it that will benefit Datang?"

Queen Changsun persuaded.

finally.

Li Shimin also had to agree with what Queen Changsun said.

"Okay, then let's give him a title and make him a marquis to show his achievements in offering potatoes. Guanyin, how about making him a marquis."

"The name of contribution is quite appropriate."

Queen Changsun tasted the name of Marquis Jinxian, and it seemed appropriate.

"Marquis Jinxian?"

"The city has only [-] households?"

Li Huaian held the imperial edict of knighthood with a confused look on his face, and looked at the eunuch Zhang Anan who was not far away and was receiving two gold cakes of [-] ounces each from Li Ruoqiu as wedding money.

Of course, Zhang Anan was not the only person who came to announce the decree, there were also other people accompanying him. These people also received five taels of gold wedding money from Li Ruoqiu and the maid Taohua respectively.

For a time, the eunuchs who came from the palace had smiles on their faces and happy words on their lips. They were very lucky to be able to receive the errand of leaving the palace this time. They had received the errand of announcing the decree in the past, and these eunuchs who had gone out to announce the decree could also receive the errand. The rewards received at most were only a few taels of silver, and the smaller ones were only a small sling of copper coins. What's more, some returned empty-handed.

Today, I was able to receive gold cakes as reward for this mission.

This made these eunuchs very happy, and also made them remember this new nobleman named Jinxianhou in their hearts. In the future, they must remember a favor even if they don't have to pay it back, if they meet this Jinxianhou again in the future. On the errand of announcing the decree, in order to get more reward money, you can rush to do it, right?
How come he suddenly became a Marquis in the Tang Dynasty world?

Li Huaian looked at the imperial edict in his hand. "Marquis Jinxian, are you so happy that you get carried away?"

Seeing Li Huaian's dull expression, Zhang Ananda thought he was overwhelmed by such great glory and wealth, so he stepped forward and joked.

At the same time, he did not stop rubbing the two gold cakes in his hand. He came here three times and got three and a half gold cakes. He couldn't hide his smile. If he came here every day, , I am afraid that everything will be lost in this life.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Li Huaian is really his God of Wealth.

"I told the saint that I wanted the eldest princess, not the title. Why did the saint give me the title? Could it be that he doesn't want the princess to marry me."

"This Jin Xian Hou sounds a bit unpleasant, as if I'm trying to please a saint."

Li Huaian came back to his senses and curled his lips a little. If Li Shimin had given him a title before, he might have been happy. With the title, it would be much easier to move around in the world of the Tang Dynasty.

But now that he can borrow the power of the five surnames and Qi Wang, Li Shimin's title is actually of little use.

At least for Li Huaian, a time traveler who is not a single traveler, the title of the Tang Dynasty world has no bonus effect. He cannot go to other worlds. Tell the natives that I am a time traveler from the main world, from the Tang Dynasty world. Jinxianhou, Hou Ye.

It feels very middle-class.

"Be careful, Marquis Jinxian, you are already a Marquis of the Tang Dynasty. There are some rules that you should abide by, and you must abide by them, otherwise you will lose the dignity of a Marquis."

Zhang Anan was speechless when he heard that Li Huaian disliked the name Jinxianhou.

Thinking about this, he really came from overseas. He didn't understand the rules of the Tang Dynasty, and he didn't even care about the title of Marquis. Do you know how many people in the Tang Dynasty spent their whole lives not getting what they wanted.

If it were not for the potato, it would have done tremendous merit to the Tang Dynasty and could benefit all people.

How is it possible to get the grace of a saint conferring a title of marquis?

Mention Li Huaian again.

Zhang Anan didn't hide anything about the marriage. For Jin Cake's sake, he revealed it directly.

"You don't have to be so anxious, Marquis Jinxian. When I left the palace, I heard some news from the saint. The saint has agreed to betroth the eldest princess to you."

"This reward from Marquis Jinxian is to enable Marquis Jinxian to have enough status to marry the eldest princess. It will soon be the holy decree of the saint to grant marriage."

I heard there was an imperial edict behind it.

Li Huaian smiled and expressed his gratitude to Zhang Anan. He also said that he was the eunuch who stayed with Li Shimin. This information was well-informed.

So I made a request by the way.

"It turns out that the saint still has an imperial edict, so that's good. Otherwise, I still want to ask the saint to return the potatoes to me. Without the eldest princess, the potatoes might as well be made into vegetables for me to eat."

"By the way, father-in-law, when you go back in a while, can you give the saint some advice, that is, take back my imperial edict to present the Marquis, and give me a nice marquis name. I don't care whether it is Guannei Marquis or not. I don’t like the name of Marquis Jinxian very much.”

"Also, can you give me another place to live in these five hundred households?"

It seems that the food towns of the Tang Dynasty were not sealed.

"The imperial edict has been sent?"

Within Tai Chi.

Li Shimin was reviewing the memorial, and when he saw Zhang Ananda had returned from announcing the decree, he put the memorial he had just finished reviewing on the desk, waiting for Zhang Ananda's reply.

"How is Hou Jinxian doing?"

Zhang Ananda stood in the hall and said somewhat unspeakably: "Sage, Marquis Jinxian is very happy, but..."

"Just what?"

Li Shimin frowned, feeling that Li Huaian was going to do something unique (Book of Rites) again, not obeying the rules, and making him unhappy.

"Back to the saint."

"The Marquis of Jinxian dislikes the unpleasant names given to saints, and wants to change his name to a nicer name. I don't want to be the Marquis of Jinxian, the Marquis of Guannei, or the Marquis of Guannei, as long as I don't call him Marquis of Jinxian."

"Also, I would like to ask the saint if the food can be moved to another place."

Done.

Zhang Anan knelt on the ground and lowered his head. He felt extremely regretful. He should not have agreed to this matter when he left the Jinxian Hou Mansion, and he should not have accepted the two extra gold cakes. These gold cakes were really collected. not easy.

"Boom."

Li Shimin slapped his palm on the table with an angry look on his face.

"He thinks I'm joking. I think the title of Tang Dynasty can be changed at will. If a marquis doesn't sound good, I don't want it. Who does he think he is? Do you want me to let him think of a marquis name for himself? Seal yourself.”

"You go to Marquis Xian's house now, bring him into the palace for me, and let him tell me in person what name he wants to change to the marquis."

"I want to see if he has the courage to make this request in front of me."

"The slave is going here."

Seeing the sage's rage, Zhang Ananda did not dare to delay. He got up from the ground, quickly exited the Tai Chi Palace, and stood outside the palace wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"Marquis Jinxian, why don't you just accept the reward properly? Why don't you change your name?"

Zhang Ananda reached out and touched the gold cake in his arms and shook his head.

"Oh, I just have a hard-working life. I earn really hard money, and I don't rest at all."

"Eunuch Zhang, why did this saint call me into the palace just after he gave the imperial edict? If he had known better, he would have just called me into the palace. It would have saved Eunuch Zhang two trips."

On the way to Tai Chi Palace, Li Huaian looked around at the Tang Dynasty Palace, which he had come to for the first time. There was no place to see this in the main world, and he told Zhang Anan next to him about Li Shimin's fault.

I didn't think there was anything wrong with telling Li Shimin's eunuch like this.

Zhang Anan may have had his ears blocked by gold cakes, but he didn't hear or respond. He was focused on leading the way. Only the quickening pace betrayed his panic, as he was anxious to get to Tai Chi next step. palace.

"Brother Huai'an."

As soon as Li Huaian arrived at the gate of Taiji Palace, he heard the voice of Princess Li Lizhi of Changle calling him. Following the voice, he saw Princess Li Lizhi of Changle standing on the wall of Taiji Palace.

"Beauty."

Li Huaian stood in front of the city gate of Taiji Palace, looking at Changle Princess Li Lizhi on the city wall, with a smile on his face, he looked at Zhang Anan beside him, and asked how to go up the city wall.

"Marquis Jinxian, let's go see the saint first."

"It doesn't matter. The saint probably doesn't care about waiting a little longer. Anyway, he doesn't know how long it will take me to come to the palace. It's okay to delay for a while."

For Li Huaian, meeting Li Shimin was not as important as meeting his daughter.
