Quit smoking

Li Shimin said: "Now that the money problem has been resolved, the reform of the imperial examination cannot be delayed. Fang Qing will preside over this matter, and the Ministry of Rites will coordinate with each other to notify the counties as soon as possible so that they can organize county examinations."

"Yes!" Fang Xuanling and Minister of Rites Dou Lukuan replied.

After Li Shimin gave his orders, he let the officials go to work.

"Why are you still here?" Li Shimin looked surprised that Lin Xuan hadn't left.

Lin Xuan chuckled, and said flatteringly, "Thank you Your Majesty for bestowing the marriage, but there seems to be some words missing from His Majesty's edict for bestowing the marriage."

Of course Li Shimin knew what Lin Xuan was talking about, but he pretended to be at a loss and said, "What's wrong? I've heard it too, there's nothing wrong with it!"

"Your Majesty, there is no wedding date mentioned in the edict." Lin Xuan said.

Li Shimin patted his forehead and explained: "I almost forgot to tell you that Li Zhi is the favorite daughter of me and the empress. Both the empress and I are reluctant to part with her, let's talk about it after a few years of marriage."

I believe in your ghost, and it will be a few years, why don't you say to stay forever.

"Your Majesty and the empress's feelings are understandable. It doesn't matter if the wedding date is later, but at least a time must be fixed first, right? What do you think, Your Majesty?" Lin Xuan asked.

He didn't want to get married so soon, but at least he had to give a deadline.

Otherwise, what would he say if his parents asked him at home?

Li Shimin said with a smile: "I and the empress are worried that you will treat Li Zhi badly. When you let Zhen and the empress feel at ease, they will naturally hand over Li Zhi to you. When you get married, it still depends on your performance!"

Li Shimin also deliberately emphasized his tone in his performance.

Lin Xuan cursed secretly: Don't you just want to squeeze yourself.

"Yes, I will definitely behave well in the future!" Lin Xuan said with a smile, and he endured it for Li Li.

Li Shimin was very satisfied with Lin Xuan's attitude, nodded and said: "Well, I'm waiting to see your performance, you go back first."

"Yes! The minister will leave!"

Lin Xuan walked out of the hall with a displeased expression on his face, and saw that little fat man Li Tai just as he came out.

"I have met His Royal Highness King Wei!" Lin Xuan saluted.

Li Tai laughed, and said: "Father has already bestowed a marriage on you and sister Huang, and you will be my brother-in-law from now on, so don't be so polite!"

Lin Xuan smiled slightly, and said: "Your Highness, courtesy cannot be revoked. If Your Highness is fine, I will leave first."

"Well, I have something to see my father, and I will catch up with you in the future." Li Tai said with a smile.

Lin Xuan bowed his hands, turned around and left.

Li Tai is Li Lizhi's biological younger brother, if it wasn't for the big picture, he wouldn't mind getting in touch with him more.

But Li Tai's goal is the throne, and he doesn't have that ability, let alone compare with Li Chengqian, even Li Zhi is probably better than him.

There is only one throne, and the three of them are all compatriots with Li Lizhi, so he can only respect Li Tai at a respectful distance.

After Lin Xuan left, Li Tai's face darkened.

He knew that Lin Xuan went to the East Palace several times, including when Li Chengqian personally saw him off when he left Chang'an.

And Lin Xuan has been showing his favor to him, turning a blind eye, Li Tai thinks that Lin Xuan has already turned to Li Chengqian.

At this moment, Li Mu came out, Li Tai put away the expression on his face, and said with a smile: "Father, are you done with your work?"

Li Mu nodded and said, "His Royal Highness King Wei, His Majesty let you in."

Li Tai quickly tidied up his clothes and walked in.

"Son, see Father!"

Li Shimin said with a smile: "Why did Qing Que come to see Father?"

"Father, my son wants to experience some local experience." Li Tai said.

Li Shimin was a little surprised, and said: "You are still young, you are not old enough, let's wait a few years before we talk about it."

As the saying goes, the emperor loves the eldest son, and the common people love the youngest son.

But Li Shimin is different, maybe because he is not the eldest son, he likes Li Tai better. (Note: Although Li Tai is not Li Shimin's second son, he is the second legitimate son.)

In addition, since Li Tai was fat since childhood, he felt even more distressed.

"My father misunderstood, and I don't want to leave my father and queen mother. I heard that my father established Chang'an Mansion, and I want to go to Chang'an Mansion to practice and study." Li Tai said.

Not to mention that he's not old enough to be old now, even if he does, he'll find a way to keep it going.

Once he leaves Chang'an, the throne will be lost to him, so he won't leave.

"No!" Li Shimin flatly refused.

He could see what Li Tai was up to at a glance.

Although he loves Li Tai, he is not stupid.

He had known for a long time that Li Tai wanted to compete for the reserve, but he hadn't said anything.Because he felt that this would give Li Chengqian a sense of crisis and make Li Chengqian grow faster.

Li Chengqian is the crown prince and manages the Chang'an mansion, no one will say anything.

But it's different to let Li Tai go too, which will make the minister mistakenly think that he has the heart of easy storage.Not conducive to the stability of the court.

Although Li Chengqian sometimes disappointed him, he never had the idea of ​​Yi Chu, and Li Chengqian was always the candidate for the crown prince in his heart.

"Father, why?" Li Tai asked aggrievedly.

When he came, he was full of confidence, thinking that because of Li Shimin's love for him, he would definitely agree. Unexpectedly, Li Shimin refused without thinking.

"There's no reason, anyway, this matter just doesn't work. I still have something to do, so you go back first." Li Shimin said with a cold face.

"Yes!"

Li Tai was a little unwilling, but seeing Li Shimin's face, he didn't dare to say anything.

……

When Lin Xuan walked out of the palace, he saw Cheng Chumo standing at the gate of the palace.

"What are you doing here?" Lin Xuan asked, seeing a young man beside Cheng Chumo, he smiled and asked, "Yo, Chu Liang is here too, why did Aunt Cheng let you go out?"

Cheng Chuliang met Lin Xuan a few times when he went to Cheng's house, and he was quite familiar with him.

Cui had been locked up at home to study before.

Cheng Chuliang said happily: "I'm fifteen this year, and my mother allowed me to come out and play."

Cheng Chu smiled silently and said, "It's been a long time since I saw you, so I came to see you for a drink. When we heard you came back yesterday, we planned to go to your house to look for you, but later we heard that you had entered the palace, so we had to give up."

Yuchi Baolin winked and said: "We have heard that His Majesty betrothed Princess Changle to you. You should treat us today."

"It's okay to treat guests, but you can't go to Mingyue Pavilion!" Lin Xuan said.

"You're going to be a son-in-law soon, we all understand. Chu Liang and Princess Qinghe are also engaged, and my mother told me not to go to those messy places." Cheng Chumo said with a smile.

"Chu Liang, so we are still brother-in-law." Lin Xuan patted Cheng Chuliang's shoulder and said with a smile.

He really didn't know this before.

Cheng Chuliang chuckled, a little shy.

Li Dezheng said: "It's getting late, I'm already hungry, where should we go for a drink?"

"Let's go to Keyun Building." Lin Xuan said.

After all, it's our own restaurant, so don't worry about eating.

Everyone got on their horses and went to Keyun Tower.

Cheng Chu rode his horse and walked beside Lin Xuan, and whispered, "Do you still have any cigarettes? Give me some."

Lin Xuan shook his head and said, "No more, don't think about it, there won't be any in the future."

Ever since Li Shimin told him about giving him a marriage, he never smoked again.

He knew that Li Lizhi had hereditary asthma, which could not smell the smell of smoke.

The bottle of perfume last time, if it wasn't because it had a very weak smell, he wouldn't have given it to Li Lizhi.

For Li Lizhi's consideration, he didn't plan to touch cigarettes in the future.

With his body, he had no addiction to smoking, and it was just a feeling to start smoking.

If you don't quit now, you will become addicted to smoking later, and it will be troublesome to quit again.

"Why?" Cheng Chu asked in bewilderment.

"The person who sold me cigarettes can't be found." Lin Xuan casually found a reason.

Cheng Chumo said regretfully, "If you find it in the future, you must let me know."
