Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

Empress Changsun was very good at seizing the opportunity, and could always bring up a bowl of white fungus and lotus seed soup with just the right temperature when Li Er was most depressed.

Cook over high heat, throw in two red dates, and scoop half a spoonful of icing sugar.

Let it dry for a while, which suits Li Er's taste best.

Seeing that Li Er's anger had subsided slightly, Empress Changsun said with a smile: "There is something that needs to be decided by Your Majesty."

Li Er put it in the small bowl and said, "Guanyin maidservant, you want to talk about Chengqian's marriage?"

"It stands to reason that it should have been done a long time ago. Because of the Japanese people, it was postponed for half a month, and because of the imperial examination, it was postponed for nearly a month. It is not an option to keep the children waiting. You might as well take advantage of Liu Bai. Chang'an, let Chengqian do it as soon as possible, otherwise, once Liu Bai leaves, Chengqian will feel bad."

"you're right"

Li Er sighed.

The candidate for the crown prince and side concubine has already been determined.

It was because of successive major incidents that the Crown Princess had not yet made a decision to delay it again and again.

Counting Wushun and Hou Shi, I am not sure how to blame these two parents-in-law

"Taichang Temple chose a few days, and the concubines had a look at Yuan Zhenren, and finally selected three days for preparation. Your Majesty, which day do you think is suitable?"

Li Er held the date specially written on the red paper.

"Chonghu Shanan, the seventh day is not bad."

Empress Changsun said with a smile: "Then it will be on the seventh day of the lunar new year. Even though there are still five days left, it is not too hasty."

I don't know, Li Er remembered something from the past, and the corner of his mouth curled up.

"In a blink of an eye, Chengqian has reached the age of marriage."

Empress Changsun's face turned a little ugly.

"Ke'er Qingque and the others are not a few years younger than Chengqian. It would be great if they can do it within the year!"

Li Er coughed a few times in embarrassment.

"They're still young, don't be in a hurry. Besides, aren't there still Yan Shi and Xiao Shi?"

Empress Changsun's complexion completely darkened.

"Li Ke's having Fan Xiuxiu should have been a headache for Concubine Yang. The concubine needn't worry about it, but a while ago, I wrote to Qing Que asking him whether he prefers the Yan family or the Xiao family, but he kept pushing back!"

"This pervert!"

Li Er pretended to be angry, while speaking, he peeked at Empress Changsun's face.

Empress Changsun gave Li Er a resentful look, and said: "The concubine looks at Yan, she is very suitable to be the king of Yue, no, she is the concubine of Wei, and the word 'wan' is in her name, which makes the concubine very fond of it."

As he spoke, he sighed again.

"Thinking of Wan'er and Rong'er, the concubine feels uncomfortable. Finally, there are two people who can talk to me. Now, I have to go to Jiangnan again. I don't know when we will meet next time."

"Now that Your Majesty has given Liu Bai the title of king, don't leave Wan'er and Rong'er behind!"

Li Er smiled and said: "That's natural, but Liu Bai's title is enough for Sanxing to have a headache, and the titles of his two wives are up to you to think about."

A smile finally appeared on Empress Changsun's face.

"The concubine should call Wan'er and Rong'er and ask them what words they like."

After speaking, he left with a few court ladies.

Li Er let out a long breath and said, "Liu Jin!"

"The servant is here!"

"Go to the three provinces to see why Liu Bai's title has not been determined for a long time. If you can't come up with a suitable result, then let me tell you!"

"Yes!"

Regarding Liu Bai's title, among the official residences of the three provinces, bigwigs from all sides quarreled wildly.

However, they all have one consensus.

That is, the emperor's proposal cannot be used!

Wouldn't it be a big joke to give the title of 'Chu' to someone with a different surname?

King Chu, that is the top of the king!

Second only to Li Er's title of King Qin!

Even though he is going to the south of the Yangtze River, he cannot be called the King of Yue.

Li Tai usually calls Liu Bai his elder brother, but in reality, Liu Bai is a generation above the princes.

If he was given the title of 'King of Yue', among the people present today, they would not be able to live in peace.

It's no wonder Liu Bai didn't punish them to death!

Originally, 'Wu Wang' is also very suitable.

However, it has been given to Li Ke in advance.

After a fierce quarrel, there are more problems to be solved

The main contradiction is, should Liu Bai be given the title of "two-character king", or should he be given a false title?

Cheng Yaojin and others naturally wanted to argue for Liu Bai.

The biggest resistance came from the big bosses of the three provinces headed by Fang Xuanling!

What they mean is that it is enough to give Liu Bai a false title.

Gao Shilian and Qu Tutong, the most hot-tempered, faced each other tit-for-tat, scolding each other with red eyes, and they were about to fight!

A large group of people stood behind the two of them.

Only people like Li Jing and Li Ji, who are qualified to participate in and discuss politics, but never vote for a certain side, sit by and watch the fun with a smile.

Just as Liu Jin entered the door, a vase flew over in the air.

Fortunately, behind him, followed by a skilled eunuch, in desperation, he flew the vase with his head.

This didn't make Liu Jin's face blossom.

Liu Jin said with a bitter face, "My lords, you have been watching for a whole day, and you still haven't come up with a result?"

He dare not pursue the responsibility of these big bosses

Fang Xuanling frowned tightly, shouted loudly, "Enough!"

Everyone didn't notice his sound, but Liu Jin trembled in fright.

Fang Xuanling stood up and said, "Let's put aside for the time being, whether it is a two-word king or a false title, it will be decided by voting!"

He cupped his hands at Liu Jin again, and said, "Director Liu, please be a witness!"

Chapter 1360 Who Is As Lucky As You?

In many eyes, voting is a very common way of voting.

But in Datang, it was a feat that opened up the world!

Up and down the court is a pattern of one word.

The emperor can decide the life and death of anyone, and the prime minister can decide the promotion and scheduling of most officials.

Voting, on the other hand, means that no matter how high or low the official rank is, everyone can have the right to speak and make decisions, even if this effort only accounts for one vote.

But this is still equality of status.

Also, Fang Xuanling was inspired by the oiran contest.

Regardless of whether he is a commoner or a nobleman in the palace, he can only rely on the vote in his hand to determine a certain girl's "score".

Perhaps, someone can use money to influence people's judgment.

But in any case, it is a kind of progress.

The effect of voting is obvious.

Those who support the 'two-word king' and 'empty title' have nothing to say.

Liu Jin counted the votes carefully.

In that unregistered ballot box, the pieces of paper were enough to change the pattern of the military merit system in the Tang Dynasty!

The end result is astonishing.

Originally clamoring, not to give Liu Bai a real prince, it definitely accounted for the majority!

But now after the statistics are calculated, it's the other way around!

There were more than 40 people present, and there were actually more than 30 people, all of whom supported giving Liu Bai a 'false title'!

People looked at each other, and became a little more wary of those around them for no reason.

One thing in front of one's face, one thing behind one's back?

Cheng Yaojin didn't believe in evil, stepped forward and tore open the box.

The piece of paper 'crashed' fell all over the floor.

He flipped through a few and slammed the table angrily!

"A bunch of duplicity bastards!"

The people below started talking in low voices.

"Which one did you vote for?"

"No, the old man clearly supports the two-character king!"

"Looking helplessly, there is no way to play crooked tricks!"

""

Fang Xuanling's expression was stern, and he said, "Back off!"

After all, he was the chief assistant of the dynasty, no matter how arrogant Cheng Yaojin was, he would not dare to provoke him.

After retreating angrily, the more I thought about it, the more awkward I felt.

He slapped his thigh vigorously and said, "I'm not playing anymore!"

After speaking, turn around and leave!

Qu Tutong and the others looked at each other and followed them out.

Now, no matter how stupid people are, they can see the mystery.

At the end of the co-authorship, only Cheng Yaojin and his several military veterans voted for the 'two-word king'.

For the rest, one counts as one, even if they say it is beautiful, in the end they still voted for a 'false title'!

Fang Xuanling took a deep breath.

"Since the result has been decided, let's quickly draw up a title for Liu Bai!"

Everyone left with their own concerns.

Liu Jin remembered the faces of these people in his heart.

With a smile on his face, he scolded this group of people in his heart.

"Master Fang, the servant will go back and report to His Majesty."

"Boss Liu wait a moment."

Fang Xuanling invited Liu Jin to his official residence.

Du Ruhui and other bigwigs from the three provinces also followed in.

Liu Jinpi said with a nonchalant smile: "My lords, Your Majesty, you are still waiting."

It could be seen that Fang Xuanling was not in a good mood.

He squeezed out a smile, and said: "I don't know how your majesty approved the papers I sent to the palace a few days ago?"

As he spoke, he took out a small purse from his sleeve, and handed it to Liu Jin in front of Du Ruhui and others.

Liu Jin didn't answer.
