After officially going to court, everyone should discuss matters until finally nothing happened. Li Shimin really wanted to announce his immediate withdrawal from the court, but seeing how well-behaved this kid was today, Li Shimin said helplessly: "Who has anything else to do? If nothing happens, you can withdraw." Heading."
Li Ke didn't move.
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and all the ministers were also stunned. Everyone thought that Li Ke had something to do when he came, but when he got here, Li Ke was fine?
Seeing that Li Ke was silent, Li Shimin immediately glanced at Chang Lin.
Chang Lin immediately announced that the ministers could withdraw from the court.
As soon as Chang Lin's words fell, Li Ke jumped up and said loudly, "Ministers and Dukes, I, Li Ke, have just returned from the Western Regions. There is something that I would like to ask you to witness. Father, my son, I still want you to witness it. I have something to say.”
Li Shimin: "..." Are you waiting here? This is not a good thing, because this bastard waited for Chang Lin to announce the next court announcement, which means that this is not a public matter. If it is mentioned in the court, there may be censors to stir up trouble, but After this court, this is no longer a court.
Li Shimin has not left yet, so all the ministers cannot move. Everyone is waiting in place, and Li Ke has said so, this face must be given to Li Ke.
"What are you going to do!" Li Shimin glared at Li Ke with a strong warning tone.
"Father, I have something to say to the Duke of Qi." Li Ke said quickly.
Li Shimin: "..." He knew it, but could he still stop it in this situation? It's useless to stop him.
"Go ahead." Li Shimin waved his hand helplessly.
"Your Highness King Qin, please speak." Li Shimin agreed, and Changsun Wuji stood up with a calm expression. Since Li Ke had called his name, he must stand up.
"It's like this. At the beginning of this year, I made an agreement with the State of Qi. I wonder if Duke Qi still remembers it? It's about Changle's marriage." Li Ke went straight to the point.
All the ministers were a little stunned, but Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong immediately showed interest on their faces. What about this? It can be said that most people in the entire court know this. The few who don't know it are because their official rank is too low.
"Remember, what does His Highness King Qin mean?" Changsun Wuji was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Li Ke to say this.
Not to mention that Changsun Wuji didn't expect it, even Li Shimin didn't expect that Li Ke would say this.
"It's just for today. I've almost prepared the dowry for Changle. How about we just do it today? It's better to choose a day. Of course, if the eldest grandson Sikong wants to wait until the beginning of next year to discuss this matter, it's okay. After all, the eldest grandson Sikong can earn more betrothal gifts for Changle." Li Ke said with a smile.
Changsun Wuji was a little speechless. The other ministers originally stayed to see what Li Ke said. Now that Li Ke said this, everyone became interested. They all wanted to see the excitement, so naturally they also No one has left, who is not a fun person?
Looking at Li Ke, Changsun Wuji knew that he could only decide today. Although he didn't want to do such a thing in public, it would be too disrespectful. Isn't this just a competition for money? The question is, if Li Ke wants to play like this, what can he do?
Li Ke's words have been rushed to this point. Li Ke is a prince who has not yet reached the crown. How much money can he have in his hands? Not to mention Li Ke, Li Shimin doesn't have that much money in his private treasury. If his eldest son Wuji has to wait until next year, it will be really shameless.
How will I stand up in front of my peers in the future?
The point is not just this. The point is that Li Ke has already talked about the run. As an elder, can he refuse? Is it possible that his eldest son's family is still afraid of Li Ke?
After a moment of silence, Changsun Wuji said directly: "Okay, what does Your Highness want to say? Can you and I each give a number?"
"No, I am very particular about fairness. As the pillar of the Tang Dynasty and the founding hero of the Tang Dynasty, Duke Guo of Qi is higher than me, Li Ke, in terms of prestige, status, and reputation, so I naturally trust Duke Guo Qi. I will prepare it for Changle." I have already asked people to bring you the dowry. Anyway, I will show you the dowry I prepared. If you think it is more than the dowry I have given you, Duke Qi, just say a word and I will believe it. Okay?" Li Ke smiled and said road.
Changsun Wuji was silent for a moment. Li Ke's attitude made Changsun Wuji a little confused. Could he really have renovated Chang'an City, provided for more than 10,000 refugees, and hired tens of thousands of people in one year? Can you maintain your salary several times and still make enough money?
But what else could he say at this time? Li Ke has already said this, and this was agreed with Li Shimin at the beginning. At this time, it is difficult for Li Shimin to stop him.
"Okay, it's settled." Changsun Wuji said directly.
"Well, Chamberlain Chang, please ask the guards to call people outside Taijimen to come in, and then Chambermaid Chang, please read out the gift list." Li Ke said with a smile.
"Yes, Your Highness." Chang Lin nodded, and then went directly to do it. Li Shimin didn't say anything, which meant that Li Shimin acquiesced, so Chang Lin naturally felt relieved and listened to Li Ke's words directly.
Soon, the people who were guarding outside the Tai Chi Gate and those brought by Li Ke lined up neatly and walked to the gate of the Tai Chi Hall.
"Excuse me, Chambermaid Chang." Li Ke took out a gift list from his arms and handed it to Chang Lin.
"His Royal Highness, King Qin, was joking. This is what an old slave should do." Chang Lin quickly stretched out his hands and took the gift list from Li Ke's hand.
The faces of all the ministers were full of gossip. They all wanted to know how much dowry His Highness King Qin had prepared for His Highness Changle in less than a year.
Chang Lin opened the scroll in his hand, and then read out loud from the first one: "The dowry prepared by His Highness King Qin for His Highness Changle, daily necessities."
Chang Lin was a little speechless when he thought of this. Does His Highness still classify people into different categories?
"A set of colorful glazed crystal cups." As Chang Lin read aloud, the first person outside the door immediately bowed his head respectfully and walked in. After entering, he first bent down to salute Li Shimin, who was taking the seat, and then walked to the middle table. Next to him, he opened the box he was holding in his hand, and then a set of seven glasses appeared in front of everyone. Everyone took a breath when they saw the set of glasses.
Even generals like Cheng Yaojin widened their eyes because this set of water cups really has seven colors of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple arranged alternately, and the whole thing has different special auspicious cloud patterns, placed here Dazzling.
Li Ke's expression didn't change. He took these things out from the office building. Naturally, he could only take what was available and had no choice. In later generations, this thing will be just flashy and not very interesting, but in this era, just look at the amazed expressions of the ministers in the hall.
