"Imperial Father, your son would like to suggest that you use the method of having those wealthy merchants and dignitaries contribute food and money to help some of the affected areas."”
Li Shi Min was silent. It wasn't that he hadn't tried this method before, but it didn't work.
Many people donated something symbolically, but it didn't have much effect.
Even he, the emperor, had no choice.
He couldn't use force to snatch it.
"Yi 'er, it's enough that you want to help Imperial Father resolve his worries. Imperial Father is very happy.”
Li Shi Min patted his daughter's hand on his shoulder and said with relief.
Li Xueyi looked at her father and shook her head.
"Imperial Father, please listen to your son first. Your son knows that Imperial Father has already discussed with Uncle Fang and Uncle and used this method, but it didn't have any effect.
However, your son has a plan that can make Imperial Father's method yield twice the result with half the effort and achieve immediate results.”
"Oh?"
Li Shimin was interested and pulled his daughter to him, asking her to speak seriously.
Li Xueyi saw that her father was finally willing to listen to her seriously, and a faint smile appeared in her eyes.""Father, your son's suggestion is that you can continue to increase the donations of the local nobles, but this time, you can use a little trick.
That was to make a list of all the people who donated and the actual situation of the donated materials into a Merit Obelisk for everyone to see!”
As a smart Monarch, Li Shiming thought about the meaning behind his daughter's words. Then, he narrowed his eyes and looked at his daughter in surprise.
Li Xueyi saw that her father understood what she meant and immediately continued,"
"Imperial Father, birds cherish their feathers, and so do humans. Humans cherish their reputation.
As long as the Merit Obelisk appeared, it would be their own choice whether they would be remembered for eternity or despised by others. As long as they were reputable people, they would not embarrass themselves too much.”
Li Shi Min was shocked. He never thought that his daughter would have such a smart mind.
"Yi 'er, did you come up with this idea yourself?”
Li Shi Min asked.
Li Xueyi nodded. Whether it was in front of her father or in front of her mother, Empress Zhangsun, she had always displayed an educated and calm attitude.
His goal was to make his father and mother love and trust him more!
Li Xueyi naturally wouldn't want to be the Empress who unified the world after her father died.
She only wanted to make full use of her current status and display her talents on the grand stage of the Great Tang, so that everyone would remember her and revere her!
On the dragon throne, Li Shi Min pondered for a moment before raising his head to look at Li Xueyi.
"Yi 'er, you're really Imperial Father's good daughter. Imperial Father owes you so much, but you don't blame him and even want to share his worries.
Tell Imperial Father, whatever you want, Imperial Father can give you.”
Li Shiming was in a good mood as he found that Li Xueyi's method was quite feasible. He smiled and asked his beloved daughter.
Li Xueyi pursed her lips and hugged her father's arm.""Your son doesn't want anything. As long as I can be by Imperial Father and Imperial Mother's side, I will be satisfied.”
Li Shimin was touched. He patted his daughter's hand and said,""What kind of request is this? Even if you don't say it, Imperial Father and Imperial Mother will never let you leave our side again.
The suggestion you made just now is a great merit. Father will reward and punish those who have done wrong. How can he mistreat his daughter!”
Li Xueyi thought for a moment and said,"I hope that Imperial Father will agree not to reveal my identity to the public for a year."”
"Why?" Li Shimin wondered.”
Li Xueyi rolled her eyes." Your son has just returned to the palace. I'm still learning the etiquette of the palace. I'm also learning to interact more with my brothers and sisters to familiarize myself with each other."
Besides, everyone is worried about this winter and the suffering commoners. Your son doesn't want everyone's attention to shift to a useless princess like me at this time.”
Li Shimin felt even more sorry for his daughter when he saw how sincere and humble she was.
"Yi 'er, how can you call yourself a useless princess?”
Li Shi Min scolded softly.
Tears welled up in Li Xueyi's eyes as she sobbed softly,""I beg Imperial Father to agree to your son's request.”
Seeing his beloved daughter cry, Li Shimin hurriedly said,"Alright, alright. Father will agree to your request. This is not a big deal. However, if this is the case, won't you have to suffer for another year?”
Li Xueyi broke into a smile and wiped her tears."Your son doesn't feel wronged at all!”
"Alright then. You can announce your identity whenever you want. It's up to you!
When the time comes, Imperial Father will definitely help you hold a grand welcoming banquet!”
His daughter's thoughtfulness, intelligence, and compassion for the people made Li Shimin feel very gratified.
Although his daughter had been separated from him for many years, Li Shimin's love for her had grown over the past few months.
It was almost the same as treating his beloved daughter, Chang Le, who he had raised since he was young!
In fact, the daughter in front of him was the eldest daughter of him and Empress Zhangsun. She was Changle's biological sister!
It was normal to treat the two of them equally!
Li Xueyi left the royal study in satisfaction after offering her father a plan.
Li Shi Min was also relieved because he suddenly received a plan from his beloved daughter.
Soon, Li Shimin ordered the Ministry of Central Affairs to draft a plan to add the method of setting up Merit Obelisk to the collection of donations.
"Your Majesty."
Wang De, who was over fifty years old, bowed and walked in.
"Speak."
A rare smile appeared on Li Shi Min's face.
" Your Majesty," Wang De said," the Golden Guards that you sent to observe the situation in the Inn of Common Clothes have reported that the weather is good today. The people of Chang 'an are enthusiastic about going out. The business of the Inn of Common Clothes is not bad. Many people praised the Inn after eating and drinking in it.”
Li Shi Min nodded. He had sent the Golden Guards to observe the situation.
Because of yesterday's incident, he was very curious about this Cloth Cloth Tavern and Zhao Yi.
He had originally planned to go to the Cloth Tavern again today to resolve all the doubts left behind yesterday.
However, because of his daughter Li Xueyi's suggestion, most of the worries in his heart had dissipated. He suddenly felt that he had placed his hopes on a commoner and was making a big deal out of it.
Unknowingly, the surprise and questions that Zhao Yi had given him yesterday had faded a lot.
For the time being, he did not plan to go to the Cloth Tavern.
Perhaps his daughter Li Xueyi's plan could help him get rid of his worries.
