Chapter 499: Finally Married
"Weichen see the emperor and the queen!" Merton entered the Lizheng Hall and saw Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, and immediately bowed and saluted, with an extremely respectful attitude.
Li Shimin didn't say anything, but stared at Merton with unkind eyes, which suddenly made Merton's back cold.
Empress Eldest Sun glanced at the two helplessly, and hurriedly said, "Flatten!" ”
"Thank you, Queen!" Merton hurriedly borrowed the slope to get down the donkey road.
Li Shimin snorted coldly, if it weren't for Empress Eldest Sun to speak, he would have planned to let this kid Merton keep hunching his body, and give him a dismount first.
"Merton, you are guilty!" Li Shimin didn't want to let Merton go so easily, and shouted angrily.
"The kid is guilty!" Merton immediately said without hesitation.
Li Shimin saw that Merton was so refreshed, and he was suddenly suffocated half to death like a heavy punch in the air.
"Then what sin thou hast sins?" Li Shimin sneered at the corner of his mouth.
Merton was suddenly embarrassed, isn't this difficult for a strong man, how can he convict himself.
"Weichen has damaged the princess's reputation, which is an unforgivable sin!" Merton honestly confessed.
"Reputation?" Li Shimin stood up suddenly, pointed at Merton's nose and scolded angrily, "You also know that this matter is related to Changle's reputation, if something goes wrong, have you ever thought about Changle's situation!" ”
Li Shimin was afraid when he thought about it, if it was the custom of the past, Changle and the Mo family's private agreement would definitely be ruined, and even the reputation of the royal family, fortunately, Merton's kid remedied it in time, otherwise Li Shimin would not be able to let Merton's limbs stand in front of him intact at this moment.
Merton's face also showed a hint of luck, although he had just made up a relationship with Princess Changle, he was stirred up by Wei Si'an, and he didn't have time to react, but after all, the matter was caused by him, and he couldn't say any more excuses.
"The minister is guilty!" Morton said gloomily, "It's Weichen's inconsiderate thinking that makes the emperor and Niangniang worried." ”
Li Shimin was still puzzled, the rice paper in his hand smashed in front of Merton, and said hatefully: "Look at what this is?" ”
Mo Dun swept his eyes, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, only to see the dense numbers on the rice paper, which turned out to be the ciphertext of his correspondence with Changle, he didn't expect Li Shimin to find out this point.
"This ......" Merton's face was suddenly full of embarrassment, how could he feel like writing a love letter to a girl, and being approached by the other party's parents.
"You kid is bold, don't mention Changle's reputation for the time being, you actually treat the palace ban as nothing, and it has already caused a storm in the city, and the two of you are still sending private messages, when I am blind!" Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said.
Merton's eyes flashed, and he immediately understood that the reason why Li Shimin was angry was not only because he was communicating with Princess Changle, but more importantly, he had intercepted the secret letter, but he couldn't crack it.
The first set of numbers represents a certain book, the second set of numbers is a certain page, the third group is a certain line, and the fourth group of numbers represents a certain word. In this way, the contents of the letters can be kept secret, and even if others intercept the letters, they will still not be able to know the contents of their hearts. Merton explained honestly.
Li Shimin suddenly realized, no wonder he was confused when he saw these numbers, and after Merton's explanation, he suddenly became enlightened.
Merton said courteously: "This kind of ciphertext is most suitable for military use, even if the herald is captured by the enemy and intercepts the military report, he can still not get the information of the military report." ”
Li Shimin's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he couldn't help but look at Merton, this kid wrote a letter for Changle, and he actually made up an amazing thing, and with his eyes, he could naturally understand the benefits of this kind of ciphertext.
"Oh! In this case, you are dealing with me with what you have done against your enemies! Li Shimin was satisfied, but he still didn't let go of it.
"Okay, okay, although Merton is at fault, he also remedies, and he can be regarded as having a heart!" Empress Eldest Sun said in a round way.
Li Shimin got the principle of ciphertext, solved the doubts in his heart, and added a big weapon to the military, so his face eased slightly.
Merton hurriedly took the opportunity to say: "Wechen's affection for the princess is true and pure, and I also ask Your Majesty to give Wechen a chance to let Wechen spend his life to remedy it." ”
Li Shimin snorted coldly and said: "Do you think that Changle will not marry you, the emperor's daughter will not worry about marrying, as long as I release the rumors, the people who come to propose marriage can be photographed outside Chang'an City." ”
Merton hurriedly shook his head and said: "Wechen doesn't dare to have this intention, Wechen only knows that when he meets his beloved, he has to fight for it with all his might, Liang Zhuzhi's emotions are moving, but it is not what the minister wants, what the minister wants is just to spend his life with Changle Pingor." ”
Empress Changsun couldn't help but bow slightly, as a woman, the greatest happiness is nothing more than meeting someone who has loved her all her life.
Li Shimin and Empress Changsun glanced at each other, and a trace of tenderness flashed in their eyes.
Li Shimin sat on the main seat, stared at Merton and said: "Changle is the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty, you are just a seven-rank official, how can you have the confidence to marry a princess of the Tang Dynasty." ”
Merton was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but glance at Li Shimin in surprise, could it be that the royal marriage also depends on the official position.
Li Shimin coughed twice and said: "I heard that you are ready to use your own money to marry, Changle is a golden branch and jade leaf, and he is the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty, how can he be so shabby." ”
The fortune of a seventh-grade official is not enough to save money to marry a princess even if he works for a hundred years, if Li Shimin does not take the opportunity to make things difficult for him, this evil breath will not come out.
Mo Dun personally handed over this handle to Li Shimin's hands, how could he not have a way to deal with it, and said confidently at the moment: "Your Majesty and Niangniang rest assured, please give Weichen a year, and after a year, Weichen will use a thousand horsemen as a hire and ten thousand gold as a gift to marry Changle." ”
"Thousands of horsemen are hired, and thousands of gold are gifts." Li Shimin was stunned for a moment and asked, "Don't move the money in Mojia Village?" ”
"Of course!" Merton said proudly, "Since Weichen said it, he will naturally be sure. ”
Empress Eldest Sun nodded, and a year later, the age of Merton and Changle was exactly the age of marriage.
Li Shimin took a deep breath and said: "I will give you a year, if you dare to go crooked, corrupt and take bribes, then don't blame me for being polite." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Merton said with a happy face.
"Get out! The matter of marriage is only handled by the queen and Mrs. Qin. Li Shimin was annoyed when he looked at Merton now, and directly waved him away.
"Son-in-law retires!" Merton immediately changed his words, and without waiting for Li Shimin to react, he disappeared at the door of the Lizheng Hall as quickly as possible.
"This kid can really borrow a donkey from the slope!" Empress Eldest Sun covered her mouth and said with a smile.
Li Shimin snorted heavily, and couldn't help but taste: "It's really cheap, this kid"
As a father who is about to marry his first daughter, I am afraid that the mood can only be experienced by personal experience.
