Is There Still Such a Son-in-Law?
While Li Daozong was pleased with himself, he couldn't help but feel even more satisfied with his son-in-law.
Without a good son-in-law, he wouldn't be praised by everyone in the court.
It would probably be difficult to even complete the mission given by His Majesty.
She did not expect that when she asked her daughter to throw the embroidered ball, she had really chosen a good son-in-law.
He pinched his beard and smiled reservedly.
After everyone was amazed, they took the regulations from his hand and looked at them carefully.
After all, Li Daozong had read too many things at once just now, and some parts were a bit difficult to recite, so everyone wanted to read it carefully again.
All of the Great Tang's top figures, with the exception of Li Shiming, were gathered together.
They gathered around Li Daozong's regulations.
The more they looked, the more surprised they became.
After thinking about it repeatedly, he still felt that it was impeccable.
Finally, everyone put down the rules.
"I dare say that there is no other rule in the world that can surpass this.”
"Lord Zai Fu is right. I, Wei Zheng, am usually quite dissatisfied with the Ministry of Rites, but this time, I am really convinced.”
Wei Zheng laughed heartily.
He was known for his straightforward personality, so he didn't hide anything when he spoke.
Everyone knew his temper, so they didn't mind.
Li Daozong smiled." I'm untalented and inexperienced. I'm indebted to Your Majesty's grace to take charge of the Ministry of Rites. I'm truly in awe and trepidation." If there is anything wrong, it is inevitable. As long as Lord Wei makes a suggestion, I will definitely consider it carefully.”
Wei Zheng waved his hand and said,"Your Highness, you don't have to be so polite. I'm just an outsider giving pointers to an expert. After seeing your regulations today, I won't dare to find trouble with the Regional King anymore.”
The two of them humbled themselves.
"I'm not trying to flatter the Regional King. It's just that this rule is flawless and fair. It can really benefit many lesser children. Your Highness, your contribution is too great."
Fang Xuanling praised.
Li Daozong hurriedly said.
Then, he decided to say that it was Chu Wen's idea.
Firstly, leaving home to throw embroidered balls to find a bride, these people present probably felt that it was a little child's play.
If everyone knew, this rule was indirectly written by his son-in-law.
It would reduce the gossip.
On the other hand, he wanted to use this opportunity to improve Chu Wen's image in the Emperor's heart.
Perhaps one day, His Majesty would assign Chu Wen a heavy responsibility.
In this way, it would also be of great benefit to increasing his strength.
However, he did not know that the Emperor had already invited Chu Wen to be an official.
He also did not know that Chu Wen had directly rejected the Emperor's suggestion.
At the thought of this, he said directly to everyone's praise,"Thank you for your praise, I really don't deserve it…"
"Don't be so polite. With the standard of the regulations, you don't dare to be ashamed.”
"That's right. With my intelligence, I definitely can't come up with such a perfect constitution.”
"This old master doesn't have this level of skill either.”
"The Regional King is already so humble. The only thing I feel is shame. After living for so long and writing so many rubbish regulations, I really can't hold back my old face.”
Everyone joked.
Even Li Shi Min said," There's no need to be humble. This rule is already perfect. I've decided to use it as a standard and carry it forward."”
Li Daozong hurriedly said," Your Majesty, you might not know this, but in reality, this official can only be considered a ghostwriter. The real author is someone else."”
Hearing this, everyone was surprised.
Logically speaking, if Li Daozong had really written such a great contribution, he would have admitted it without hesitation.
Since he repeatedly rejected it, could it be that he really didn't write it?
Or, as he said, was it a ghostwriter?
Everyone's faces were filled with disbelief.
Li Shi Min was also surprised,"If you didn't write it, then who did? The Great Tang actually has such a genius?"
"Your Majesty, these regulations were actually roughly dictated by my son-in-law, and then I carefully copied them. Other than the polishing of the words, almost everything was written according to my son-in-law's wishes.”
Li Daozong said honestly.
Although he did not take all the credit, he was very happy to see everyone's expressions.
After all, if his son-in-law was successful, he would also gain face.
As soon as he finished speaking.
Everyone was silent for a moment.
Then, with a buzz, he exclaimed.
"Your Highness, you can't push the credit to your son-in-law.”
"That's right, this is a big joke.”
"We know that you love your son-in-law, but you can't be so biased.”
For a moment, everyone began to question him.
The matter of Li Daozong's daughter throwing the embroidered ball to choose a husband had become a joke in the streets of Chang 'an.
Naturally, they knew it clearly.
He even thought that Li Daozong was being too rash.
Throwing an embroidered ball for a groom, wasn't this a joke?
It was fine for ordinary people to do this, but even you, the Minister of Rites, did the same.
It was really beneath his status.
Moreover, with so many people fighting for the embroidered ball, the chance of hitting the scholar was too slim.
After all, most of the scholars had no strength at all.
On the other hand, those idlers on the streets were very strong. With their strength, they could easily snatch the embroidered ball.
Therefore, he was certain that the Li family's son-in-law was definitely not presentable.
It was just a stopgap measure for the Li family to prevent their daughter from marrying into Tubo.
Unexpectedly, Li Daozong actually said in Taiji Palace that the rules of the Imperial Examination came from his son-in-law.
This was unbelievable.
Seeing that everyone did not believe him, Li Daozong explained,"What I said just now was the truth. With everyone's understanding of me, I definitely wouldn't be able to write such a constitution.”
Everyone fell silent.
These words did make some sense.
However, he still didn't believe it.
They would never believe that the rules were written by Li Daozong's son-in-law.
Perhaps it was written by another expert?
Yes, that must be the case.
However, at this moment.
Li Shi Min's voice suddenly rang out.
"Zhen believes in Dao Sect's words. Zhen has also seen Dao Sect's son-in-law with my own eyes and even had a deep chat with him.”
Everyone was dumbfounded.
What was going on?
"A few days ago, I had a discussion with the Prince's son-in-law about the marriage between the Tubo and the Western Regions. When I heard what he said, I was also shocked."”
With his words, everyone finally believed that what Li Daozong said was the truth.
Instantly, everyone's doubts turned into envy.
Was this son-in-law who casually threw out embroidered balls to find a groom so awesome?
This was too lucky!
Was there such a son-in-law?
We want one too.
