Chapter 722

"See the emperor!"

In the Tai Chi hall, in front of all civil and military officials, Merton bowed and solemnly saluted.

Before, Merton set the wedding date, but empress Chang sun and Mrs. Qin came to preside over it. Merton didn't see Li Shimin. Now the wedding date has been set, so Merton naturally wants to go to the court to thank Li Shimin.

"Excuse me!" Li Shimin said in a loud voice.

Now that the wedding date of Merton and Princess Changle has been set, Li Shimin has to accept this reality. The original prejudice is much less. Besides, Merton's bride price makes him very satisfied. Naturally, he looks at Merton.

"Congratulations to your Majesty on having a good son-in-law." the ministers congratulated.

If Merton had not been engaged to Princess Changle, I'm afraid the dignitaries of major aristocratic families would not let go of this golden turtle son-in-law. Everyone knows that once any family marries Merton, it will certainly rise rapidly in a short time. Now Merton marries Princess Changle, which has stopped the idea of aristocratic families and dignitaries.

"How time flies! In a twinkling of an eye, all my daughters will be married!" Li Shimin sighed. In a twinkling of an eye, all his daughters have been married. It won't be long before they will be upgraded to Grandpa and grandpa. Anyone can sigh that time flies.

Many old ministers who had fought with Li Shimin could not help feeling that most of their children had begun to marry.

"It is said that mohou is a magic mirror worth thousands of gold as a bride price, and the old minister is itchy. I wonder if your majesty can open his eyes to the old minister." Cheng Yaojin smiled and couldn't wait.

If it were any other minister, Merton would doubt his ulterior motives. However, Cheng Yaojin was born with this generous character. I'm afraid he was really curious.

Other ministers also moved in their hearts. They were overwhelmed by the magic mirror of the whole harem. If they were not curious, it must be a lie.

"Why is it difficult?"

When Li Shimin heard the speech, he immediately showed a proud smile and a loud voice. If such a magical bride price can shock the ministers, it will naturally make his face shine.

At that moment, with a big hand, a one person high dressing mirror was soon carried by several eunuchs to the Tai Chi hall. When Merton offered the bride price, he made two more mirrors and dedicated them to Li Shimin and the empress Chang sun respectively. This side is the one dedicated to Li Shimin.

When people looked at the scene in the mirror, all officials were shocked and couldn't say a word.

"It's an eye opener! Once this mirror comes out, I'm afraid no one will use the bronze mirror." Cheng Yaojin took a deep breath into his airway.

Other ministers also nodded one after another. Naturally, as men, no women are so obsessed with the mirror. They just looked at it. But everyone knows that with this mirror, I'm afraid the blurred copper mirror will no longer be used.

Li Shimin immediately showed a complacent look. The emergence of magic mirror ink technology is the biggest opportunity for Datang to alleviate the copper shortage crisis.

Fang Xuanling moved in his heart and immediately realized the purpose of benefiting the country and the people. He was shocked in his heart and suddenly turned his head and said, "ink sacrifice wine, can this mirror be produced in mass."

Merton looked at Li Shimin, shook his head and said, "the production of such mirrors is very cumbersome, and the cost is amazing. I'm afraid it's difficult to produce in mass. However, the inferior developed silver mirrors can be produced in mass. Although the clarity is not as good as this mirror, it's much better than ordinary copper mirrors."

Li Shimin was not dissatisfied with Merton's nonsense. After all, the higher Merton lifted the magic mirror, the greater the Royal interest.

Moreover, the magic mirror is a sharp weapon he used to pit the money of western countries. If it is mass produced, it will not become the price of cabbage. With the silver mirror, the value of the magic mirror can be realized to the greatest extent.

"Silver mirror? Isn't that too expensive!" Fang Xuanling frowned. In contrast, the value of silver is much more expensive than copper money. In the end, it's not good to be short of silver instead of copper money,

Merton explained: "naturally, not all mirrors are made of silver. It's just a thin layer of silver paper. The cost is less than half of that of copper mirrors."

"If so, it's really a skill that benefits the country and the people." Fang Xuanling nodded.

Other ministers nodded one after another. Even some stubborn censors put down the prejudice of Qiqiao pornographic skills. After all, mirror making technology is too important to the Tang Dynasty.

The ministers congratulated again, and then returned to their respective positions. Li Shimin nodded slightly to pound.

Pound strode out, holding the imperial edict, said in a shrill voice: "the marriage between Merton and Princess Changle follows the orders of their parents and the words of the matchmaker. They are happy with each other, which is in line with the etiquette and household marriage law. They are both husband and wife, which is a natural match. Merton is specially designated as the prince-in-law.................."

"Thank you, your majesty," said Merton.

The marriage of ordinary people needs to be signed in the county government. I'm afraid there is no better proof than the imperial edict for the Royal Princess to become a monk. There is no legal obstacle to the marriage between Merton and Princess Changle.

The ministers congratulated again. There was a lot of celebration in the Tai Chi hall.

Suddenly Quan Wanji suddenly stepped out of the line and said, "I don't know what to say. What's wrong?"

Li Shimin frowned, but he didn't stop: "Aiqing naturally has to say?"

Quan Wanji bowed and said, "you are the minister. The princess is the royal blood, the Lord, and the ink sacrifice is the minister. When the princess marries, isn't it better to match the LORD with the minister? Wei minister thinks it's still better to match the minister with the Lord. Please give Princess Changle a princess house, and the son-in-law is still the princess, so as to show the royal dignity."

"Still the son-in-law?" Quan Wanji said, and immediately all the ministers looked at each other. This is indeed a demonstration of the Royal reputation and is very in line with the Confucian etiquette of kings and officials, but it is not good news for the son-in-law. In that way, the son-in-law is not like a redundant son-in-law among the people.

Merton suddenly turned black and looked at Quan Wanji badly. The old man wanted to make trouble again.

"I think what Lord Quan said is reasonable. The princess is a royal person. She is in the prosperous place of the imperial palace. If she suddenly marries, I'm afraid she won't adapt to food and accommodation. If she builds a princess house alone, she can't be wronged." another imperial historian echoed.

Suddenly, many Confucian officials spoke in succession and agreed with the proposal of Shang's son-in-law. Li Shimin couldn't help feeling excited. Shang's son-in-law can not only show the royal status, but also protect his daughter from injustice, which is of great benefit to the princess.

More than that, Merton's eyes are not good. Almost many courtiers who marry the royal family are frowning. The Royal Princess said they can't control it. If there is another son-in-law, there will be no way for the son-in-law to survive, and the princesses of the Tang Dynasty don't have many peace points!

However, Quan Wanji is standing at the commanding height of the monarch and his officials. If the officials refute, they will inevitably be crowned with a high hat. For a moment, important officials such as changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling who married the royal family all focused on Merton.

Merton married the legitimate Princess Changle. I'm afraid the marriage between Merton and Princess Changle will directly determine the pattern of Princess marriage in the future.
