Watching the ministers leave one after another, Qin Qiong, the Duke of Yiguo, frowned slightly, thinking in his heart whether to leave or enter the palace?

Suddenly, there was a hint of determination in his eyes, as if he had made a big decision, and then he turned and walked towards the palace.

At the same time, Li Shimin was having lunch, and since Cheng Chubi implemented the system of three meals a day, this system has spread unconsciously among the aristocracy. The aristocracy is rich, so there is no need to eat two meals a day like the common people.

A piece of fat mutton was bitten into his mouth, and the beard on the side of his mouth looked greasy and greasy, the ancients liked to eat fatty meat, fat meat is expensive and lean meat is cheap. I have to say that Li Shimin's beard is very long, beautiful, and very famous, and many poets in history have used poetry to describe Li Shimin's beard.

Du Fu once wrote: "There are beautiful young men, who are eighteen or nineteen. King Qin was sitting, and he was really angry", "Ruyang made the emperor, and Meiyu was really a celestial." The beard is like Taizong, and the color is reflected in the spring". Duan Chengshi also said in "Youyang Miscellaneous": "Taizong has a beard, and he often plays with a bow and arrow." ”

"Your Majesty, the Duke of Yiguo asks to see you." Li Zhong walked in from outside the hall and said.

"Oh? Why did he come to see me? Li Shimin heard that Qin Shubao wanted to see him, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, to be honest, his feelings for Qin Qiong and Li Shimin are complicated, Qin Qiong was his idol when he was a child, he saved Li Shimin's family, and he was a great benefactor of the royal family, but he remained neutral during the Xuanwumen Incident, which made Li Shimin feel that Qin Qiong was an opportunist, a cunning and cunning person, more hateful than Wei Zheng, Wei Zheng at least stood on Li Jiancheng's side clearly.

Because of the Xuanwumen incident, no matter who wins the world, it will not be harmful to Qin Qiong. This made Li Shimin quite unhappy, which can be seen from the treatment of Yiguo Gong over the years.

"Xuan." After thinking about it, Li Shimin still decided to meet Qin Qiong and see what tricks he was playing.

"Whoa!"

Li Zhong walked out, and a few minutes later, Qin Qiong walked in from outside.

"Chen Qin Shubao greets Your Majesty." Qin Qiong entered the door and bowed.

"Wing Guogong, excuse me." Li Shimin waved his hand and said, although he is dissatisfied with Qin Qiong, there must still be etiquette.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qin Qiong said.

"The Wing Kingdom is scattered and does not return, what is the matter?" Li Shimin asked lightly.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to ask Your Majesty, the minister is old and no longer able to continue to serve as the general of the Left Guard, so I hereby ask for my resignation." Qin Qiong said.

"Huh?" Li Shimin listened to Qin Qiong's words, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, although Qin Qiong was said to be the general of the Left Guard, but everyone understood that this General of the Left Guard had long existed in name only, but it was just a kind of nominal official position given to the world so that the world would not say that he was a mean hero. General Zuowei seems to be a high authority, but Qin Qiong has no power in his name, this can be said to be a fig leaf for Li Shimin, everyone has always tacitly agreed that today he is going to propose to resign from this position, why is this?

Li Shimin's face couldn't help but show a hint of unhappiness.

"Qin Qing has something to do, just say it, there are no outsiders here." Li Shimin said lightly.

"Your Majesty, the eldest daughter of the minister, Ao Xue, is going to marry Cheng Jiazaburo, although she can't become a wife, but the minister doesn't want her to be wronged, so I ask Your Majesty to ask for the title of Mrs. Haoming for the sake of the past feelings." Qin Qiong said, after saying this, the whole person's face became a little red, this is the old face to beg Li Shimin.

Qin Qiong is upright and resolute, never asks for help, even in the most difficult and painful times, he has never begged anyone, but for his daughter not to be wronged, he can only beg!

"Huh?" Li Shimin's brows furrowed even tighter, when did Cheng Chubi's shaft become so hot? Even if the official position is low, he is very lazy, and he has no self-motivation among young people, but such a person can make these ministers of the court willing to marry their daughters to him as concubines?

"I, yes, then give a four-grade life." Li Shimin said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qin Qiong said, happy in his heart, for the sake of his daughter, he really gave up. Although it is still a little lower than the eldest grandson's family and the Dugu family, it can be regarded as a fateful wife.

At the same time, outside the hall, a figure stood stunned.

Princess Gaoyang came to greet Li Shimin, but she accidentally heard the conversation inside, and the whole person felt quite uncomfortable.

"That guy has a concubine again, damn, hateful fellow." Princess Gaoyang gritted her teeth viciously and whispered, although Cheng Chubi had nothing to do with her, but when she heard that he was going to marry a concubine again, she was still quite uncomfortable in her heart, why was this, she didn't quite understand.

In this era, there is no such thing as a 'flat wife', and it is not until Wu Zetian becomes the emperor and the status of women is greatly improved that there is a saying of merger. In the law, it is still monogamous and polygamous, the wife is still the wife, the so-called 'flat wife' is actually still a concubine, and there is no such thing as a flat wife in the law, and it was not until after the Qing Daoguang that the term "flat wife" began to appear, which is still circulated among businessmen and is not recognized by the law and mainstream society.

When I got home, it was already noon.

When I got home, I quickly cleaned myself, washed myself clean, and then put on clean clothes, dressed myself handsomely, and almost didn't take lard to polish my head.

Men, you may not be handsome, but you must be clean.

lit sandalwood and drank tea leisurely, and the renovation of the princess's mansion was nearing completion.

The entire Datang is busy, as long as Cheng Chubi is still at ease.

"Donkey, there's an old man outside, saying his name is Kong Yingda, and this is a thorn." A waitress handed a famous card to Cheng Chubi, who took it and opened it.

Then his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, it turned out to be Kong Yingda who came!

Kong Yingda, a direct descendant of Confucius, why did this old man come to the door? To be honest, Cheng Chubi has no malice towards Kong Yingda, Kong Yingda is an upright person, just a pure scholar, a person who really does learning, such a person is very unsuitable to be an official, if he is not a descendant of Confucius, it is estimated that he can only be a Confucian master specializing in Confucianism now.

However, since ancient times, the masters have been very stubborn, very cute and very characterful, but unfortunately, in the future, the Confucian family will experience the "chaos at the end of Kong", and the descendants of the old Confucian family have almost been wiped out.

"Ask him to come in." Cheng Chubi waved his hand, stood up suddenly, and said, "I'll go and invite it, hey, this master actually came to the door, and I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing." ”

After all, he is a junior, Cheng Chubi didn't dare to let the servants invite him, but went to invite him himself, otherwise he would be sprayed to death by a group of scholars tomorrow. So I hurriedly went and invited Kong Yingda in.

There will be more tomorrow, so everyone will support it~
