Capital Datang

Chapter 156 Title Controversy

Li Yin's heart sank when he heard that Miss Cui was engaged, but then he felt a little rejoiced. Fortunately, it was only an engagement rather than a marriage, and he still had a chance.But now Sun Simiao was obviously a little displeased. After all, Li Yin asked so bluntly where an unmarried girl lived, obviously out of uneasiness and kindness.

Seeing that Sun Simiao kept his mouth shut and didn't intend to tell Miss Cui's residence at all, Li Min was also a little at a loss. At this moment, he suddenly had an idea and thought of a good way, so he smiled and said, "Physician Sun has something to say." I don’t know, when the king was in Dengzhou, he met a good friend. This person is Cui Yu, the elder brother of Miss Cui. When I came back from Dengzhou, Cui Yu went with me, but he had other needs. At the time of parting, he said that his sister lived in Chang'an, and asked me to pass on a message to the other party for him, but I was too hasty at the time, and forgot to ask Miss Cui's address in Chang'an. I didn't expect to be here today. That’s why I’m asking this question!”

When Sun Simiao heard Li Yin's fabricated explanation, he had no doubts about it, so he breathed a sigh of relief.First he knew that Ms. Cui did have an older brother named Cui Yu, and he also had a close relationship with him.Secondly, Li Yin's usual character is not like a frivolous and lustful person, otherwise there would not be only one princess and one slut in the house.

"Oh, it turns out that Your Highness and Mr. Cui Yu are acquainted with each other, but just now I misunderstood Your Highness!" Sun Simiao said, bowed to Li Yin as atonement, and then said, "Miss Cui is now living in Cheng Guogong's mansion. It is said that she came to Chang'an at the beginning of the year, and her future husband is also in Chang'an city. I heard that they will get married at the end of the year!"

Although Sun Simiao believed in Li Yin's character, when he was talking, he still mentioned Miss Cui's engagement intentionally or unintentionally, obviously to remind Li Yin to remember this fact.It's a pity that all his thoughts were in vain. When Li Yin heard that the other party actually lived in Cheng's mansion, he was determined at that time because of his relationship with Cheng Huailiang.Isn't it a trivial matter to visit Cheng's mansion?Capital Datang 156

After achieving his goal, Li Yin didn't stay with Sun Simiao for long, and left immediately after saying a few gossips.Although I really want to ask Cheng Huailiang now to find out about the situation of that Miss Cui.But now it's the second watch, and he's tired for another day, so it's really not a good time to visit.So I had to go back home to rest temporarily.But before Li Yin went to find Cheng Huailiang the next day, he was immediately called into the palace by Li Shimin.

Because Li Shimin got a daughter in middle age, and she was born by Concubine Yang, he naturally dotes on this newborn little princess very much. This morning, a group of ministers were called into the palace to discuss the title of the princess. In addition, this is considered a royal family matter, so Li Yin and his group of princes were also called into the palace, and even Li Zhi, Li Zhen and several other underage princes also came together.

This time it is not considered a formal court meeting, all the participants have arrived in the Liangyi Hall.Li Chengqian stood at the front, followed by Li Ke, Li Tai, Li You was still in Shuzhong, so Li Yin came in fourth, followed by Li Zhen, Li Zhi, and Li Zhen.Behind them is a group of ministers who participated in the meeting. It is useless to appoint a title for a military general, so the civil servants headed by Fang Xuanling are here today.

After the excited Li Shimin came, the meeting immediately entered the topic, and the civil servants below were asked to propose the title they had thought of, and then let everyone discuss it.Only titles that no one disagrees with can be selected in the end.It could be seen that although Li Shimin was in high spirits, his eyes were bloodshot. He probably didn't sleep well last night.

These civil servants knew about Concubine Yang's childbirth last night, so they were well prepared. As soon as Li Shimin finished asking, several people immediately stood up and proposed the titles they thought of, but it is a pity that these titles are not too old The old man was too stingy, and Li Shimin vetoed them all.Seeing this situation, the others were a little hesitant. It is obvious that His Majesty attaches great importance to this newborn little princess. Naturally, this title must be different from other princesses, so as to show his love for the little princess.

Just when the ministers were worried that the title they proposed would be rejected by Li Shimin and lose face, they saw Changsun Wuji who was standing behind Fang Xuanling stepped forward, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I think of a title!"

"Oh? Wuji, tell me quickly!" Li Shimin said with a smile in high spirits.It's just that Li Ke and Li Yin looked at each other with a bit of dignity on their faces. This old fox actually named his own sister?It must be uneasy.

Changsun Wuji looks very similar to Empress Changsun, and because of this, she always looks like a feminine woman, very much like Xiao Shou of later generations.The other party smiled slightly and said, "His Royal Highness, the titles of my Princess Datang are generally named after places, such as Princess Xiangcheng, Princess Jinyang, etc. The little princess is no exception. When Concubine Yang was pregnant, it was the I used troops in the Tang Dynasty to go to Goguryeo, and after that, His Majesty went on a personal expedition to destroy Goguryeo in one fell swoop and get rid of my Central Plains dynasty’s confidant, such a great achievement, it is natural to write about it so that everyone will remember His Majesty’s achievements.”

Hearing that Changsun Wuji actually talked about the Battle of Goguryeo, both Li Ke and Li Yin had an ominous premonition that the old fox seemed to be trying to play tricks again.Sure enough, as they expected, the eldest grandson Wuji said solemnly in the end: "That's it, why not name the little princess Princess Pyongyang, Pyongyang is the capital of Goguryeo, and the title of a princess is honorable. Come to commemorate His Majesty's achievements in this battle, as long as they see Princess Pyongyang in the future, everyone will think of His Majesty's achievements!"

As soon as Changsun Wuji's words came out, he immediately won the support of many ministers of the same faction, but Li Ke and Li Yin both glared at him.Although what the other party said was nice, but what kind of place is Pyongyang? In the eyes of most Central Plains people, it is just a place of alienation, and the titles of the princess and the prince are the same. The closer the title is to Chang'an, the more popular it is. Love, but it takes at least a month to go from Pyongyang to Chang'an, how can I give such a title to my sister?

Before the two brothers Li Yin stood up, one of the courtiers immediately came out to object: "My lord Changsun's words are ridiculous, the little princess is born of Concubine Yang, her status is extremely noble, how can she use that extraterrestrial place to do something?" For a title?"

The person who came out to oppose it was Xiao Yu. Ever since Concubine Yang recognized Empress Xiao as the aunt, he was Concubine Yang's uncle, and he was also the uncle of the little princess. Coupled with Li Yin's relationship, he naturally wanted to speak for her family. .

"Oh, since Old Duke Xiao disagrees, then you must have a better title?" Changsun Wuji turned and stared at Xiao Yu, his tone was soft but aggressive .

Xiao Yu was originally a temper tantrum, but when she saw Changsun Wuji's posture, she became angry at that time, and said with a cold snort: "The little princess is loved by Your Majesty, and the No.19 daughter of His Majesty was named Princess Jinyang, Therefore, the old minister suggested that the title of the little princess should be Princess Luoyang to show His Majesty's favor!"

As soon as Xiao Yu's words came out, the court immediately caused an uproar.Everyone knows that among all the princesses before, the most beloved one was Princess Jinyang, who was born of the eldest grandson empress. Jinyang actually refers to Taiyuan, which ranks third in the country, and is also the royal dragon of the Li family. Therefore, from this title, it can reflect Li Shimin's love for Princess Jinyang.

But luckily now, in order to fight against the eldest grandson Wuji, Xiao Yu suddenly gave the title of Luoyang to the little princess born by Concubine Yang. Luoyang is the accompanying capital of the Tang Dynasty. As a title.

Changsun Wuji saw that Xiao Yu was so disrespectful, and there was a trace of anger on his face, and he said angrily: "Hmph, why didn't Old Duke Xiao give the title of Chang'an to the little princess, wouldn't it show that His Majesty loves the little princess even more?" ?"

"Enough!" At this moment, Li Shimin, who was sitting on it, slapped the dragon case and angrily shouted, "You two are important ministers of the court, how can you be so noisy, why don't you step down!"

"Your disrespect!" Changsun Wuji and Xiao Yu saw Li Shimin getting angry, so naturally they didn't dare to fight anymore, bowed and saluted and retreated to the queue, but when they looked at each other, they still didn't forget to snort coldly.Capital Datang 156

Li Shimin naturally understood Changsun Wuji's thoughts, so he was also a little annoyed with him, glared at the other party and said: "Pyongyang is too far away from Chang'an, so it cannot be titled princess, as for Luoyang..."

When Li Shimin said this, he hesitated for a moment. Although it was unprecedented to be a title of companion, it was not impossible to consider, but he immediately denied this idea. There is a limit, otherwise she may be harmed in the future.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin casually found a reason to refuse: "The world was in chaos back then, Luoyang was the place of the Four Wars, and the spirit of killing was too strong, so it is not suitable for the title of princess, but I got a daughter in middle age. It's really a great joy in life, so I decided not to use the name of the county as the title of the princess, let's use it as we like, and strive to find an auspicious and festive title!"

Hearing Li Shimin's words, the ministers below were all relieved. It is indeed not easy to choose the title of princess with a place name. Now that this restriction is released, it will be simple. The ministers who came today are all well-read For a person who studies, it is a trivial matter to get an auspicious title.

It is precisely because of this that the officials below put forward the titles they thought of one after another. Many of them were not only appreciated by Li Shimin, but even the other ministers could not find any faults. Seeing Kong Yingda, who had been silent all this time, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, now that our Tang Dynasty is becoming more and more powerful, and the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment, the old minister suggested that it is better to designate the title of the princess as Changping, in the meaning of Changping peace!"

Kong Yingda is the successor of Kong Sheng, and he is also a learned man with great reputation in the literary world. When he said this, many people immediately echoed him. Li Shimin also thought that this title was excellent, and nodded happily.It's just that when Li Yin heard the other person's words, he couldn't help but think of a person, and said to himself openly: "Changbao Taiping? Then why isn't it called Princess Taiping?" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome Come to vote for recommendation votes, monthly tickets, your support is my biggest motivation.)
