"Haha! Liu Aiqing is too worried! How can I not understand the principle of rewarding and punishment for merits and demerits?! How many imperial books have I granted over the years?! The reason why the number of people is pitifully small is due to this consideration!"

In the Bihai Pavilion, facing the doubts of the Minister of Revenue, Li Shimin explained without any concern that a generation of kings could be able to accept the words of the wise men so widely, which shows that the name of the saint king was absolutely not mixed with any water!

"It's because I'm worried too much!" Liu Minghe hurriedly bowed and said, "I'm going to handle the matter of joining my Tang Dynasty for Mr. Zhou Hao. Since he was a king of a different surname, he asked the emperor to designate and give him a palace. I'd like to handle the naturalization of him immediately!"

"Yeah!" Li Shimin nodded and pondered for a while, then his eyes lit up and said, "Isn't there a mansion next to Shikang's Prince Jing's Mansion still empty? Then give it to Brother Zhou Hao! Just use the name Zhou as the name, and give it the name Zhou Wangfu!"

"I obey the order! I will send someone to handle the matters related to Mr. Zhou Hao's entry into my Tang Dynasty imperial family and granting him a palace!" Liu Minghe had no doubts about Li Shimin's arrangements.

"Haha! I wonder if Brother Zhou Hao is satisfied with my arrangement?" Li Shimin then turned his attention to Du Long again.

Du Long, who had been standing quietly by the side and listening to their monarch and ministers arrange for their royal family to join the imperial family, and had not interrupted, then he said calmly: "By thanking the favor of His Majesty the Emperor, Zhou Hao felt that the previous words of Shangshu Liu were reasonable. Zhou was in no way good for the Tang Dynasty. He really could not bear the position of a king of a different surname, and he could not bear the residence of the Zhou prince personally given by His Majesty. He also asked His Majesty to take back his sincerity! Zhou Hao only had to enter an ordinary citizenship casually, and he could still represent the Tang Dynasty in the strongest Hunyuan True God Competition in the God Realm according to the previous agreement with Princess Changle, and he would do his best to fight the strongest Hunyuan True God Competition in the God Realm!"

"Hehe! You don't joke!" Princess Changle, who had not spoken next to her, smiled at the right time: "Zhou Hao! With the talent and strength you showed today, as long as you participate in the strongest Hunyuan True God Competition in the God Realm, you can at least enter the top five! You are now a delicious bun! Not to mention my Tang Dynasty Heavenly Kingdom, if other forces know your performance today, they may pay a greater price to ask you to join them!"

"Haha!" Li Shimin interrupted with a smile: "What Changle said is so much, Brother Zhou Hao, don't refuse again! Since I have given you the imperial book of the Tang Dynasty in public, how can I change it casually?!"

Well...

Faced with the persuasion between the father and daughter, Du Long had nodded without hesitation and said, "Since that's the case, Zhou Hao would be more respectful than obedient and accept the reward from His Majesty the Emperor!"

"Hehe! That's right!" The little princess Changle smiled and said, "Tell you good news! The Prince Jing's mansion next to your Zhou Prince's mansion is the home of my sister Qingcheng! As the saying goes, the moon will be the first to get close to the water. Changle here wishes the King of Zhou to get the knot with Sister Qingcheng..."

"Changle!!" Seeing the princess sister talking more and more outrageously, Princess Qingcheng, who was standing beside her, immediately interrupted angrily: "In the public eye, don't ruin my sister's reputation..."

Seeing Princess Qingcheng seemed to be a little angry, Changle then cutely spread his tongue and said pitifully: "Okay! Just pretend that Changle has never said this! Sister, don't be angry with her!"

Seeing her coquettish and pitiful appearance, Princess Qingcheng could only laugh and cry, how could she be so angry with her?!

They were preparing to keep their flags and stop talking about the embarrassing topic. However, the emperor Li Shimin, who was standing by, did not intend to let go of the news. He asked with a smile: "What? Did Qingcheng know the King of Zhou early in the morning?! If you both have affection, why don't you let me marry you?!"

"don't want!"

"don't want!!"

Just as the emperor said the words of marriage, two shouts came immediately. Everyone was extremely surprised to find that the person who spoke was actually the two parties involved in the marriage, namely Princess Qingcheng and Zhou Hao, who is the King of Zhou, a different surname from the Tang Dynasty, is now!

Li Shimin looked at the handsome man and beautiful woman in front of him with a little amused. Their reactions made him feel quite regretful. He originally thought that as long as Zhou Hao was willing, he would find a way to make Princess Qingcheng compromise and marry him even if he used the power of the royal family to interfere!

But if even Zhou Hao objected now, it would be difficult for him to do his best to cause this matter!

Princess Qingcheng looked at Du Long, who spoke out against marriage almost at the same time as her. She was relieved and a little disappointed at the man in front of her.

She had a good impression of Zhou Hao before, but she still felt unacceptable to the current situation where he already had a family. In addition, she didn't know that Zhou Hao had such strong talent and strength at that time, and she was even more overwhelming in today's armed challenge, which surprised and shocked herself!

In short, Du Long's fake identity is not only unacceptable to her family, but also her most perfect partner to choose a spouse!

"That... Is the King of Zhou not very satisfied with my niece, Princess Qingcheng? You must know that she has no shortcomings in terms of appearance, talent, or character..." Although she was disappointed, Li Shimin was still curious about Du Long's reason for rejection and couldn't help asking.

"Well... the problem is not with Princess Qingcheng, but Zhou Hao had a family before ascending to the God Realm, and there was more than one wife. As far as Zhou Hao knew, Princess Qingcheng had made a vow since childhood that she would rather not marry someone else in this life than meet a good man who was the only wife in this life! Therefore..." Du Long touched the tip of his nose a little embarrassedly, and told his heart to debut.

"Haha! A man has three wives and four concubines, which are symbols of his status and comprehensive strength. It is rare for the King of Zhou to meet such a good partner as Qingcheng, but he still does not forget his wife in his family. Such a kind and righteous man is rare in the world. I really admire him!" Li Shimin praised with admiration, and then changed the subject and said, "If it is just because of this, the King of Zhou doesn't have to think too much. I believe Qingcheng will also admire your character. As for the lies I made in my childhood, I can't count it! As long as you two fall in love, I can give you marriages on behalf of the royal family!"

“…”

This time, Du Long and Princess Qingcheng were speechless. In front of everyone, the two young people's faces were covered with red glow. They could still be blushed and their hearts were not confused. That was definitely only a monk who had achieved enlightenment, right?!

Fortunately, the Minister of Revenue, who had just been busy with the naturalization matter, finally turned around. He came to the front excitedly and saluted respectfully and said: "I am here to see Your Majesty, and to Your Highness, the matters related to the King of Zhou's entry into the royal family have been handled. This is the purple gold token dedicated to the King of Zhou in a different surname!"

Liu Minghe was quite sensible. He did not immediately hand the purple gold token to Du Long, but respectfully presented it to the Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty!

Don’t underestimate such a detail. Only His Majesty’s personal authorization of the token of the King of Different surnames has legal effect. Even if he is a mere official from the Ministry of Revenue, he does not have that much power. Li Dai Taojiang!

Li Shimin took the purple gold token of the king of the different surname without hesitation, held the token with both hands and looked solemn: "King Zhou! From now on, you will be the king of the king of the different surname of the king of the Tang Dynasty. This token represents your identity and status, and I will cherish it all!"

"Zhou Hao thanks Your Majesty for his generous gifts! From now on, he will definitely regard himself as a citizen of the Tang Dynasty and be willing to contribute his due strength to our Tang Dynasty!" Du Long reached out to take the identity token representing the King of Zhou in another surname, and a trace of turmoil appeared on his face.

People in the world are celebrating the skills of Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty, and know the way of using people. They can always win over others to serve their lives with some kindness. Now it seems that there is nothing wrong with it!

By relying solely on the means of granting the royal family identity without making any contribution, he has attracted talented existences like Tang Xuanzang and Zhou Hao, which shows how sophisticated he is in his view and decision-making with people!

"Haha! Very good! If more young talents like the King of Zhou can join my Tang Dynasty, why worry about not being able to prosper forever?!" Li Shimin was obviously extremely satisfied with Du Long's loyalty, which could be distinguished from his extremely cheerful laughter.

In this way, Du was personally named King of Zhou by Emperor Li Shimin without making any contribution to the Tang Dynasty. The news was quickly spread, and all forces also focused on him, the ascenator who emerged from the army, and began to comprehensively collect and analyze his true origin and identity!

Back then, King Li Shimin of Tang unexpectedly became a brother of a different surname with Xuanzang, and gave him the Tang surname, and became the imperial family of the Tang Dynasty!

At the beginning, several founding fathers of the Tang Dynasty fully opposed his behavior, and the reason was that Xuanzang was incompetent!

Finally, it was the elders of the royal family who stood up to support Emperor Li Shimin. The major families of the great gods of the Tang Dynasty then closed their flags and stopped opposing Li Shimin's decision!

It is precisely because of his kindness that Tang Xuanzang finally embarked on the road to seek scriptures in order to repay his kindness. From then on, he went through many disasters. Finally, with the secret help of all forces with the Buddhist cultivation lineage, he completed the journey of life and death to seek the true scriptures, and achieved a story that has been passed down through the ages!

Later, people discovered that the so-called Tang Xuanzang was the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi, a fallen disciple under Shi Jia. Shi Jia Buddha calculated where his birth was in this life based on the numerology and the path of destiny. He happened to want to include the Heavenly Kingdom of Tang into the territory of the Buddhist cultivation lineage, so he personally promoted this Journey to the West!

The final result was that the Tang Dynasty and the Buddhist cultivation lineage benefited together. From then on, most areas of the Southern Continent were integrated into the Buddhist cultivation lineage. The Buddhist cultivation lineage also cultivated a fighting holy Buddha named Sun Wukong who entered the Tao with the Great Way of Fighting!

Now, Emperor Li Shimin of Tang once again gave an imperial household a stranger, and gave him a royal palace to a young man of unknown origin, and gave him a different surname, King Zhou, and a royal palace. In all these things, if you don’t know the background of Li Shimin, no one would believe this result!

Just like Liu Minghe, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, had such an idea, so he agreed to the emperor's request so quickly, and did not continue to ask the details in public without knowing the current situation. If he was so stupid, then even if Emperor Tang was wise, his position as Secretary of the House would probably be lost!
