Are You Suffering To Marry My Beauty?
In the hall, Gu Hao was speechless.
No one had even asked him if he was willing or not, and they had already decided on the marriage.
What did she take him for?
For some reason, Gu Hao felt a little conflicted about this Princess Chang Le whom he had never met before.
"Top scholar, why aren't you thanking me?”Wei Zheng said slowly.
“………”
Gu Hao did not move.
With his quick thinking, several ways to reject him flashed through his mind, but he rejected them one by one.
After all, this wasn't the future, so they couldn't just shrug and break up.
"What's wrong? Did the top scholar look down on Princess Changle?”Seeing that Gu Hao didn't move, Wei Zheng raised his eyebrows and said in a strange tone.
This time, he wasn't completely targeting Zhangsun Wuji. As a monarch, you should not joke with the monarch.
Hearing Wei Zheng's words, the ministers and Li Shimin, who was sitting on the dragon throne, looked at Gu Hao.
"I…dare not." Gu Hao said with a conflicted expression.
"Are you aggrieved by marrying my beauty?”Li Shiming was furious when he saw Gu Hao's reluctant expression.
I haven't thought of a way to reject you, and you actually dare to look down on my beauty?
Gu Hao's eyelids twitched, and he quickly said,""I don't dare to feel wronged. I really don't think I'm worthy of Prince Changle.”
"What do you mean you don't dare to be wronged?" Li Shi Min glared at him and said angrily," Did I force you?”
"Perhaps it's because the top scholar already has a wife or concubine in his family or has already made an engagement with someone.”Fang Xuanling, who was standing beside Zhangsun Wuji, muttered to himself.
"Hmm?" Li Shimin was stunned. He looked at Gu Hao expectantly and asked," Do you have a wife or a marriage contract?”
Gu Hao was just about to nod along with Li Er's words and brush it off when he heard Wei Zheng's cold voice again."
"You have to think clearly before you say anything. The crime of deceiving the emperor is a capital crime, not much lighter than cheating in the imperial examination.”
Li Shimin glared at Wei Zheng fiercely.
This old dog, must he push my beauty into the fire pit before he is willing to stop?
The ministers fell silent.
They did not have Wei Zheng's courage.
It was mainly because Wei Zheng's identity was too special.
Surrender!
Moreover, he was an important subject who had surrendered.
Unless he committed a crime of treason, Li Shi Min really couldn't do anything to him.
After all, the reason why the remaining members of the Hidden Crown Prince were willing to surrender was mainly because Wei Zheng was put in an important position.
If he beheaded Wei Zheng, those officials who surrendered would definitely think too much and might do something rebellious.
Everyone's eyes were once again focused on Gu Hao.
"I…am not married yet."
Gu Hao replied honestly.
What else could he do?
His foundation in the Great Tang was very shallow, so he was able to see through it with a single investigation.
Eliminate the cheating of the scientific examination and marry a princess... vs... the crime of deceiving the emperor
Was there a need to choose?
Was there a choice?
Li Shiming's face darkened again. He glared at Gu Hao and said,""You're so handsome, don't you even have a lover?”
" Uh…" Gu Hao subconsciously rubbed his chin and pondered for a while. Then, he said half-truthfully," There are quite a few girls who have taken a fancy to me, but I've always been obsessed with reading, so I've never paid attention to them.”
The first half of the sentence is true, and the second half is false.
"Your Majesty, you might as well ask him what betrothal gift he can offer to marry Prince Changle.”Wei Zheng glanced at Zhangsun Wuji and sneered." I heard that this scholar has a Preface to Wang Xizhi's Lanting Collection.”
There were very few big secrets among civil officials. Everyone had a tacit understanding before.
As for the authentic work of the preface to the Lanting Collection…many people were envious.
"Preface to the Lanting Collection?" Li Shi Min frowned.
Recently, the thing that made him the happiest was that someone had given him an authentic copy of Wang Xizhi's Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection.
He had once boasted to some of his close ministers, including Wei Zheng!
"Do you have the authentic preface to the Lanting Collection?" Li Shiming looked at Gu Hao and asked in a deep voice.
"I did in the past," Gu Hao hesitated.
"What about now?" Li Shi Min asked coldly.”
"I lost it." Gu Hao said.
"Hehe, that's the preface to the Lanting Collection. You lost it just like that?!”Li Shi Min sneered. He already knew how Gu Hao became the top scholar.
Gu Hao sighed and said," I just said that I've always been obsessed with reading. I don't know when I lost the Preface to the Lanting Collection, and I don't know how the news that I have the Preface to the Lanting Collection got out."”
Li Shi Min's face sank.
He had already guessed who the mastermind behind this fraud was.
What made him angry was that he, the emperor, was actually indirectly involved.
"Your Majesty, I suggest that we first bestow the marriage and then re-examine the case of cheating in the examination.”
Wei Zheng stepped forward and said in a deep voice.
"You, Wei Zheng." Li Shimin stared at Wei Zheng coldly.
It was obvious that Wei Zheng knew who was behind the fraud from the beginning.
However, he was worried that the emperor would not punish the mastermind behind the fraud, so he used Princess Changle's marriage to provoke him.
"Since Zhen has already spoken, I naturally won't go back on my words.”Li Shimin said coldly," However, the most important thing now is the cheating case. As for the marriage between the top scholar and Lizhi, we can discuss it later."”
"Your Majesty is wise. Only by thoroughly investigating the fraud in the imperial examinations can we give the scholars of the world an explanation and truly make them submit to the Great Tang!”Wei Zheng praised loudly.
"Your Majesty is wise…"
The ministers in the hall echoed.
Gu Hao replied perfunctorily and heaved a sigh of relief.
Let's talk about it later…I probably won't mention it again in the future.
Gu Hao thought to himself.
