Actually, the reason why Li Yi's reward had not been announced for the past few days was because the court had been arguing endlessly about his reward.
Most of the civil and military officials felt that Li Yi's official position reward was too high.
Hou Junji and the others were the most vehement in their opposition. Even Zhangsun Wuji had joined the opposing army.
He accused the emperor of not being able to abolish the public because of his own preferences, and he could not wantonly promote people who had no merit to such a high official position.
Everyone's words were fierce and they objected together. Even Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling had their own opinions. It was obvious that they didn't approve of Li Shimin's promotion.
In the end, Li Shimin stood up and made it clear to everyone that as long as one was talented, the court would promote them.
He even appointed Li Yi as one of the imperial envoys to escort Empress Zhangsun to Mount Tai to pray for the Emperor's blessings.
…………
Back palace, Feng Luan Hall.
Empress Zhangsun was very happy to see her daughter, Princess Changle.
Every day, he flew around like a yellow oriole, no longer as solemn and elegant as before.
Empress Zhangsun thought for a moment. Perhaps her daughter had found out about the eastern tour. This would be her first time out of Chang 'an. No wonder she was so excited.
Other than the inexplicable excitement, she had to read a lot of information about the east every day, such as cultural classics, local customs, historical biographies, and so on.
It could be seen that she was also preparing for the eastern tour.
Princess Changle had been shuttling back and forth between the harem and the front hall these days. Because she was favored by Li Er, both the imperial guards and the eunuchs were used to it and did not dare to stop her.
In the eyes of the imperial guards and eunuchs, the high and mighty Emperor was actually a slave to his daughter in private.
He remembered that when Princess Changle was young, Li Shiming was too focused on reading memorials, and the little princess fell off the table.
The Emperor's heart ached so much that he cried. Then, in order to punish the table, he actually had the four legs of the table sawed off.
Once, when Princess Changle went out of the palace to visit her grandmother in Zhangsun Manor, she stayed for a few more days. The emperor was depressed because of her longing and almost fell ill. Fortunately, Empress Zhangsun discovered it in time and quickly carried her daughter back. Only then did he turn from worry to joy. The next day, he was full of energy again.
From this, it could be seen how much Li Shi Min loved the princess.
After Princess Chang Le became more sensible, she rarely disturbed her father.
Who knew that Li Shimin would feel lost and frustrated for a long time.
However, these few days, Princess Chang Le came to visit him very frequently.
No matter how busy Li Shiming was, as long as his precious daughter came, he would put down his work and talk to her for a while.
"Imperial Father, do you really think that there is no mountain higher than Mount Tai in the Great Tang?”
"Father, is the sunrise on Mount Tai really beautiful?
"Father, are there really immortals in Penglai? Is the sea really salty?"
…………
Even though Princess Chang Le knew all this, she was still like a curious baby and kept asking questions.
Every time, Li Shimin would patiently explain.
Even though he himself had never climbed Mount Tai.
After the chat, Princess Changle would always stand quietly at the side and admire the newly framed words on the wall.
"Imperial Father, what is the name of this essay?”Princess Chang Le asked Li Shi Min who was busy.
"Oh, I didn't ask Li Yi about that.”Li Shimin, who was reading the memorial, said casually,"Right, that kid is in the Heaven's Policy Army. You can ask him directly.”
"Yes, Imperial Father. Then this subject will take his leave." Princess Chang Le curtsied and left in a hurry.
After Princess Chang Le left, Li Shi Min finally reacted,"Eh, what did I just say?"
The eunuch standing by the side hurriedly said,""Your Majesty, you... you asked the princess to personally ask Li Yi about the title of the article.”
Li Shi Min opened his mouth and wanted to order someone to stop him, but in the end, he didn't say anything.
