Chapter 1323 Bestowed Zhou King

"Hehe! Liu Aiqing is worrying too much! How can I not understand the principle of rewards and punishments for meritorious deeds?! May I ask how many imperial titles have I granted over the years?! The reason why the number is so pitifully small is precisely because of this aspect Consider it!"

In the Bihai Pavilion, faced with the doubts from the Secretary of the Ministry of Households, Li Shimin explained indifferently that a generation of kings can accept such wise words as him, which shows that his name as a sage is absolutely not mixed with any water!

"It's my minister who is worrying too much!" Liu Minghe hurriedly bowed and saluted: "This minister will handle the matter of joining my Tang Dynasty imperial citizenship on behalf of Mr. Zhou Hao. Since he is a king with a different surname, I also ask the emperor to designate and bestow it on him." One of the palaces, I would like to handle the naturalization for him immediately!"

"Yeah!" Li Shimin nodded and pondered for a while, then his eyes lit up and said: "Isn't there a mansion next to Shikang's Prince Jing's mansion that is still vacant?! Then give it to little brother Zhou Hao! Let Zhou Hao be the name, and give it to him. Let’s call it Prince Zhou’s Mansion!”

"My minister complies with the order! Now I will send someone to handle matters related to Mr. Zhou Hao's entry into our Tang Dynasty and granting him a palace!" Liu Minghe no longer had any doubts about Li Shimin's arrangement.

"Hehe! I wonder if little brother Zhou Hao is satisfied with my arrangement?!" Li Shimin then turned his attention to Du Long again.

Du Long, who had been standing quietly by the side and listened to the arrangements between the monarch and his ministers for his admission to the imperial status, did not interrupt, then said calmly: "Thanks to His Majesty the Emperor's love, Zhou Hao felt that what Liu Shangshu said earlier was justified. , Zhou has no merit for the Great Tang Heavenly Kingdom. He really can't afford the throne of a king with a different surname, let alone the mansion of King Zhou personally bestowed by His Majesty. Please take back your sincerity! Zhou Hao just needs to be registered as an ordinary citizen That’s enough, then you can still follow the previous agreement with Princess Changle, and represent the Great Tang Heavenly Kingdom in the God of War Realm’s Strongest Hunyuan True God Contest with all your strength!”

"Hee hee! You are not joking!" Princess Changle, who was silent all the time, said with a coquettish smile at the right time: "Zhou Hao! With the talent and strength you have shown today, as long as you participate in the competition of the strongest Hunyuan true god in the God Realm, at least you can Enter the top five! Now you are a fragrant bun! Let alone my Tang Dynasty, if other forces know about your performance today, I am afraid they will pay a higher price to invite you to join them!"

"Hehe!" Li Shimin interjected with a smile: "What Changle said is true, little brother Zhou Hao, don't refuse anymore! Since I have granted you the imperial status of the Tang Dynasty in public, how can you change it casually?!"

Well. . .

Faced with the persuasion of the father and daughter singing together, Du Long was left speechless, and nodded without too much hesitation: "In that case! Then Zhou Hao would be more respectful than obedient, and brazenly accept the reward from His Majesty the Emperor Already!"

"Hee hee! That's right!" The little princess of Changle smiled and said, "I've got some good news for you! The Prince Jing's Mansion next to your Prince Zhou's mansion is the home of my sister, Qingcheng! Yue, Changle hereby wish King Zhou and Sister Qingcheng a happy knot..."

"Changle!!" Seeing this princess sister's words getting more and more outrageous, Princess Qingcheng standing next to her immediately interrupted angrily: "Under the eyes of everyone, don't ruin my sister's reputation..."

Seeing that Princess Qingcheng seemed to be really angry, Changle stuck out her tongue cutely and said pitifully: "Okay! Let's pretend that Changle didn't say this! Sister, don't get angry!"

Seeing her coquettish and pitiful appearance, Princess Qingcheng could only laugh and cry, how could she be really angry with her? !

They were going to cover their heads and stop talking about that embarrassing topic, but the emperor Li Shimin on the side did not intend to let go of the news, and asked with a smile on his face: "What's the matter? Did Qingcheng know King Zhou early in the morning?" ?! If you both have affection, why don't you let me marry you two?!"

"don't want!"

"don't want!!"

As soon as the emperor gave the marriage, there were two identical shouts immediately, and everyone was extremely surprised to find that the people who spoke were the two parties who gave the marriage, namely Princess Qingcheng and Zhou Hao. It is now the king of Zhou with a different surname in the Tang Dynasty!

Li Shimin looked at the handsome and beautiful couple in front of him with some dumbfounding. He was quite sorry for the reaction of the two of them. He originally thought that as long as Zhou Hao was willing, even if he used the power of the royal family to interfere, he would find a way to make Princess Qingcheng compromise and marry. up!

But if even Zhou Hao objects now, then it's really hard for him to try his best to facilitate this matter!

Princess Qingcheng looked at Du Long who opposed the marriage offer at the same time as her with a complicated expression. She was relieved and a little bit disappointed at the fact that the man in front of her refused the opportunity to be with her one after another. !

If she had a good impression of Zhou Hao before, she still felt unacceptable to the fact that he already had a family. In addition, she didn't know Zhou Hao had such a strong talent at the time. Overwhelm the crowd and let yourself be surprised and shocked!

In short, apart from the fact that Du Long already has a family, this false identity is unacceptable to her, and other aspects are completely perfect for her to choose a spouse!

"That... King Zhou is not satisfied with my imperial niece, Princess Qingcheng?! You must know that she has no flaws that can be faulted in terms of appearance, intelligence, or character..." Although disappointed in his heart, Li Shimin was still curious about the reason for Du Long's refusal, and couldn't help asking.

"Well... the problem is not with Princess Qingcheng, but Zhou Hao already had a family before he ascended to the God Realm, and there was more than one wife. As far as Zhou Hao knows, Princess Qingcheng has been married since childhood Make an oath that if you meet a good man who has only her as his wife in this life, you would rather never marry another man! Therefore..." Du Long touched the tip of his nose in a little embarrassment, and confessed his heart.

"Haha! A man's three wives and four concubines are a symbol of his status and comprehensive strength. It's rare that even though the King of Zhou met such a good man as Qingcheng, he still didn't forget his wife in the family. It's rare, I really admire it!" Li Shimin praised with admiration on his face, and then changed the subject: "If it's just because of this, King Zhou doesn't have to think too much, I believe Qingcheng will also admire your character , As for the one lie I made when I was a child, I can’t even count it! As long as you two agree with each other, then I can represent the royal family to marry you two!"

"..."

This time, both Du Long and Princess Qingcheng were speechless. Under the eyes of everyone, the faces of the two young people were covered with red clouds, and they were still able to keep their faces from blushing. Only the Buddha could cultivate the Tao Only monks can do it, right? !

Fortunately, at this time, the Minister of the Household Department, who had just been busy with naturalization matters, finally turned around, and he came to the front excitedly and respectfully saluted: "My minister, please refer to Your Majesty, and to His Royal Highness King Zhou. After everything is done, this is the purple gold token for Zhou kings with different surnames!"

Liu Minghe was quite savvy, he didn't immediately hand over the Zijin Token to Du Long, but respectfully presented it with both hands, and handed it to Emperor Tang Li Shimin!

Don't underestimate such a detail. The token of a king with a different surname can only have the effect of law if it is granted by His Majesty the Emperor. Even if he is a mere official of the household department, he is not so powerful as Li Daitaojiang!

Li Shimin unceremoniously took the purple gold token with a different surname on his body, and holding the token in both hands, he came to Du Long with a solemn expression: "King Zhou! From now on, you are the king of a different surname in my Great Tang Heavenly Kingdom. The block token represents your identity and status, so it is extremely important!"

"Zhou Hao is grateful for your majesty's generosity! From now on, he must claim himself as a citizen of the Great Tang Heavenly Kingdom, and is willing to contribute his due part to our Great Tang!" Du Long stretched out his hand to take over the identity of Zhou Wang representing a different surname. Token, a rare wave appeared on his face.

People all over the world are praising Tang Emperor Li Shimin's ability to control people, he knows how to use people, and he can always use some kindness to win others to serve him. Now it seems that he is not wrong at all!

Just relying on the method of bestowing royal status without making any achievements, he has successively attracted such talented existences as Tang Xuanzang and Zhou Hao, which shows how sophisticated his vision and determination are in observing and employing others!

"Haha! Very good! If my Great Tang Heavenly Kingdom can have more young talents like Zhou Wang join in, why not worry about it being peaceful and prosperous forever?!" Li Shimin was obviously very satisfied with Du Long's loyalty. It can be distinguished from his incomparably hearty laughter.

In this way, Du was proclaimed the king of Zhou with a different surname by the emperor Li Shimin without making any contribution to the Tang Dynasty. The news spread quickly, and all forces also focused their attention on his sudden rise. From the Ascendant, he began to comprehensively collect and analyze his true origin and identity!

Back then, Tang Wang Li Shimin unexpectedly became brothers with different surnames with Xuanzang, and even gave him the Tang surname, becoming the emperor of the Great Tang Heavenly Kingdom!

At the beginning, the families of several great founding fathers of the Tang Dynasty opposed his behavior with all their strength, and the reason they used was that Xuanzang had no merit!

In the end, it was the elders of the great heavenly emperors in the royal family who stood up to support the emperor Li Shimin, and the several great heroes of the Great Tang Heavenly Kingdom stopped their efforts and stopped opposing Li Shimin's decision!

It is precisely because of his kindness of knowledge that Tang Xuanzang finally embarked on the road of going west to learn Buddhist scriptures in order to repay his kindness. That life-and-death journey to seek the scriptures has achieved a good story that has been passed down through the ages!

Afterwards, people discovered that the so-called Tang Xuanzang was the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi, a fallen disciple of Sakyamuni. Buddha Sakyamuni calculated his birth in this life from the numerology. range, so I personally made people contribute to this trip to the West!

The final result is that the Datang Heavenly Kingdom and the Buddhist lineage benefited from each other. From then on, most of the Nanfang Buzhou has been integrated into the Buddhist lineage, and the Buddhist lineage has also cultivated a Dou Zhan Saint who entered the Tao with the Dou Zhan Dao. Buddha Sun Wukong!

Nowadays, Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty once again uncharacteristically bestowed imperial status on an unknown young man of the younger generation, and also bestowed him with a different surname as the king of Zhou, and bestowed him with a palace. No one will believe this result!

Just like Liu Minghe, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, also had the same idea, so he agreed to the emperor's request so quickly, and did not continue to question the details in public without knowing the current affairs. If he is so stupid, then no matter how wise the emperor is, his I am afraid that the position of Shangshu will be lost!
