The strongest emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Chapter 699 Li Tai's Two Requests (Fourth Update)

It took nearly a stick of incense for the fireworks to stop, which feasted Li Shimin and Manchu Wenwu's eyes. Even if the fireworks in the sky had disappeared, everyone was still unwilling to lower their heads.

"Your Majesty, this is the second congratulatory gift His Royal Highness King Yan prepared for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Isn't it less shocking than the phonograph?" Qin Huaiyu said to Li Shimin with a smile.

"I don't know what name Li Tai gave him? How much is he going to buy?" Li Shimin asked Qin Huaiyu happily.

"Reporting to the emperor, His Royal Highness Yan Wang named it Fireworks. It will also be sold at 33 weights before the Spring Festival. And the price is not very expensive. You can buy one with only a few dozen taels of silver." Qin Huaiyu said to Li Shimin.

"In the palace this year, shouldn't it be lively during the Spring Festival? I wonder if Li Tai sent me some." Li Shimin asked Qin Huaiyu with a smile.

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Qin Huaiyu said inwardly: "These gentlemen are really virtuous, and there is absolutely no time when they don't take advantage."

But Qin Huaiyu didn't dare to say this, just smiled and said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, you can rest assured that this time the minister brought more than that. Most of them are reserved for the Emperor to use during the Spring Festival."

"Okay, he has filial piety. Come here and pass on my imperial decree. Yan Wang Li Tai has made meritorious gifts today, and I will reward him with ten thousand taels of silver."

"Your Majesty, when you come here, His Royal Highness Yan Wang will explain. No matter what rewards the Emperor bestows, the ministers are not allowed to accept them. All you need is for the Emperor to promise His Royal Highness Yan these two things." After Qin Huaiyu finished speaking, he handed a memorial to the Li Shimin.

Li Shimin took a look at this piece, couldn't help but smiled and said: "I said that this kid is not the one who suffers. You see, this will benefit me."

It turns out that Li Tai mentioned two things in the memorial. The first thing is to relocate the people in the Central Plains to Yan.The second thing is to recruit soldiers who are proficient in water in the south.

"Then I don't know if the emperor thinks that His Royal Highness King Yan's request can be approved?" Qin Huaiyu saluted Li Shimin.

"I have already agreed to relocate the people from the Central Plains to the Yan Kingdom. So I will naturally have no opinion on this matter. I will let the state governments handle this matter."

"As for recruiting soldiers who are proficient in water skills, I also think it is feasible. After all, this is a major event for the Tang Dynasty to guard the northern border. I will also arrange people to do it as soon as possible." After closing the memorial, Li Shimin said to Qin Huaiyu.

"That minister will thank the emperor for His Royal Highness Yan. His Royal Highness Yan said, please rest assured. As long as he is there, the northern border of the Tang Dynasty will be safe." Qin Huaiyu knelt in front of Li Shimin and said.

……

After a busy day of the crown prince canonization ceremony, the wedding with the prince is finally over.After the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty bid farewell to Li Shimin, they left the Jinluan Hall.

When Li Shimin returned to the harem, he saw his personal eunuch Wang De greeted him with a smile.Then he saluted Li Shimin and said, "Everyone, the gramophone sent by His Royal Highness King Yan is in your imperial study."

"This Qin Huaiyu's efficiency is quite high. It seems that Li Tai did not choose the wrong person." After Li Shimin nodded, he said to his eldest grandson Wugou with a smile.

"No one around Gao Jue is a wine bag and rice bag. This is what kind of general leads what kind of soldiers." Changsun Wugou said to Li Shimin with a smile.

"Now I feel a little bit regretful that I gave these talents to him. I heard from Wang De that even Liu Rengui, the Prime Minister of Xianyang County, is not a treasure."

"Now that I have become Li Tai's prime minister in Yan State, I have managed the entire government affairs of Yan State in an orderly manner. It seems that I have misjudged my eyes." Li Shimin said with a sigh.

"That's a matter between you father and son. I don't have time to worry about it. What I have to do now is to distribute these phonographs to their owners. I'm afraid they have already waited anxiously." The eldest grandson Wugou said to him with a smile Li Shimin said.

Then the eldest grandson Wugou ordered people to give the gramophones to the unmarried princesses of the public, all of whom were sent there.However, there are still many gramophones left in the imperial study.This made Li Shimin feel a little strange.

So he said to his eldest grandson Wugou: "Don't tell me this kid doesn't even know how many sisters he has? How come there are so many more?"

Changsun Wugou stepped forward to check the remaining quantity, and then said to Li Shimin with a smile: "This is for your imperial concubines, didn't you see the quantity is just right?"

Hearing Changsun Wugou's words, Li Shimin took a closer look and it was true.But there is one thing that Li Shimin can't figure out, that is why there is no grandson Wugou.

So he opened his mouth and said to his eldest grandson Wugou: "Guanyin maidservant, how could your son forget you? There are seven gramophones left here besides mine. Could it be that kid doesn't know how many empresses I have?" Concubine can't do it?"

"Everyone, the queen's phonograph has been sent to the queen's bedroom." Li Shimin's personal eunuch Wang De said.

"It seems that someone must have confessed to you, otherwise you would never have made such a claim. Tell me, what is the difference between the empress and other people." Li Shimin asked the eunuch Wang De.

"Everyone, these gramophones are all packed in boxes. The old slave didn't dare to open them privately. So I really don't know what's the difference." Eunuch Wang De said to Li Shimin.

"Since Wang De doesn't know, I'll go and see with Guanyin Maid. What's the difference?" Li Shimin said to his eldest grandson Wugou with a smile.

"It's the same thing, so what's the difference? How did I find that Erlang is getting more and more childish." Changsun Wugou said to Li Shimin.

"Yes, I have to look at these first, and then I can compare them with yours." Li Shimin became more and more interested, and even checked the phonographs given to his concubine in detail.

All gramophones are the same, a phonograph with a record.There is no difference.Even Li Shimin's own set looks like this.

After reading it, Li Shimin said to the eunuch Wang De: "Send someone to send it to the imperial concubines, and make them happy. Lest they feel that Li Tai has forgotten their elders."

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he went to her bedroom with his grandson Wugou.He wanted to see what was different about Changsun Wugou's phonograph.

When they arrived at Changsun Wugou's bedroom, there were eunuchs and maids from Changsun Wugou's bedroom who knelt down to welcome Sheng Jia.Then let Li Shimin and eldest grandson Wugou into the bedroom.

The eldest grandson Wugou said: "Where did you put the gramophone that Wang Gonggong sent to me. Hurry up and move it out for the emperor and me to see."

Soon the maids brought out a gramophone.From the outside, it looks like any other phonograph.

The only difference is that Changsun Wugou has a few more records.This can't help but make Li Shimin feel a little disappointed.
