Chapter 486: The concept of free love

Changle Palace!

Li Zhi took Princess Jinyang and sneaked to the palace.

"Shizi! Go and see if Sister Changle is still there. If she is not there, take her glasses over." Li Zhi encouraged Princess Jinyang and said.

"Why am I going!" Princess Jinyang was not fooled at all.

"In the entire palace, except for Eunuch Pang, Sister Changle has reading glasses. Do you want to see the fire from the air?" Li Zhi said temptedly.

"You mean ignite the air like a Mo family." Princess Jinyang's glasses lit up.

"Yes!" Li Zhi nodded vigorously.

When he saw the Moqian documenting the method of ignition from the Mo family, Li Zhi was itchy. After thinking about it, he finally thought that in the entire harem, only Princess Changle's reading glasses were used to treat pseudo-myopia, and she didn't wear them often, so he took Princess Jinyang to Changle Palace with him and prepared to "borrow" them.

"Okay!" Princess Jinyang reluctantly entered Changle Palace.

After a while, Princess Jinyang came over with a pair of reading glasses in her hand. Li Zhi was overjoyed and was about to get up to greet him, but suddenly he was stunned and saw a familiar figure behind Princess Jinyang.

"It hurts, I will never dare to do it again, Sister Changle." Li Zhi wanted to run away, but did not run away. He was grabbed by Changle Company and shouted quickly.

Princess Changle said with hatred: "Do you dare to teach Yizi in the future? She actually asked her to steal things."

"Sister Changle, I will never dare again!" Li Zhi begged for mercy without any backbone.

"Hmph!" Princess Changle let Li Zhi go.

Li Zhi rubbed his ears and looked pitifully at the reading glasses in Princess Jinyang's hand.

Princess Changle suddenly softened her heart: "I can play if I want to play, but I can only play in Changle Palace, otherwise what if there is a fire?"

Li Zhi immediately smiled and nodded repeatedly, forgetting the pain in his ears in an instant, and ran to Princess Jinyang happily, took out the paper that he had prepared long ago, and held the reading glasses to face the light spots at the paper.

The brother and sister, one big and one little, were lying there and playing. After a while, the paper quickly burst into smoke and flames.

"Wow!"

Li Zhi and Princess Jinyang looked at the ignited flames and opened their mouths one by one, feeling very accomplished.

Princess Changle, who was standing beside her, looked at the two of them with a hint of pride, and told the palace maid to look at the two of them not to cause fire. She picked up the ink magazine at hand and looked at Liang Zhu, who was serialized in the ink magazine, and couldn't help but fall into sweet memories.

On the Lantern Festival night, she disguised herself as a man and met Mo Dun. It was still very similar to Liang Zhu and the other two met Caoqiao. She had received a secret letter from Mo Jiazi and said she wanted to surprise her. She now knew what Mo Dun's surprise was. Taking Liang Zhu as an example, she corrected the names of the two.

"This is the idea that the Mo family came up with!" In the Lizheng Hall, Li Shimin put down Moqian and said indignantly.

Mo Dun, a broken dog, made him feel uncomfortable.

"This child is considered intentional." Empress Changsun said with a satisfied look on her face.

As a woman, her mind is more delicate. Although Modun and Princess Changle have made a lifelong decision, they have caused such a big storm before they have been made public.

At the beginning, Empress Changsun was naturally displeased. After all, this incident would make Princess Changle criticized. However, seeing Mo Dun first changed the marriage system and wrote that Liang Zhu made the two of them. How could it not be moved by the many things he did?

Only a part of Liang Zhu's publication could make the whole city hot discussion. In time, if the relationship between Mo Dun and Changle was made public, everyone would probably only be envious and no more criticism.

Even Li Shimin couldn't help but look relaxed. Mo Dun's move made him quite satisfied, and his resentment towards Mo Dun's abducting his daughter was slightly lowered.

"Although this kid's idea is good, it may have caused quite a lot of trouble!" Li Shimin said with a wry smile.

Liang Zhu's story is widely circulated and beautiful, but what is promoted is the view of free love. In this era when feudal ethics was very strict, Mo Dun exhausted all his strength, so he pried open a gap in the words of his parents' orders and matchmakers, allowing both men and women to meet before marriage and sign voluntarily.

Free love seems to be no less than an uproar in the world, so how can we not cause criticism from everyone?

"The Mo family's son is infatuating the public. I beg your Majesty to investigate thoroughly." Sure enough, in the court the next day, Li Shimin had just sat down and attracted a siege from a large number of censors. This time the scale was even better.

The ministers in the court couldn't help but sigh. Since the New Year, the Mo family has not stopped. The important officials of the court were speechless when they heard that the Mo family was speechless.

"Oh! What happened to Modun?" Li Shimin pretended to be confused.

The ministers twitched, and the publication of the ink magazine was so sensational that they didn't believe Li Shimin didn't see it.

Quan Wanji stepped out with a determined look on his face and said, "Go back to Your Majesty, the Mo family's love with the mysterious woman on Lantern Festival night, but at this moment, he was openly promoting the private love between men and women in Moqian. This is against the common sense. Please ask Your Majesty to investigate thoroughly."

"Oh! What you are talking about Liang Zhu!" Li Shimin suddenly realized.

"That's right!" The ministers in the court said excitedly.

No matter how bad the influence of the Mo family was, it was just around Chang'an City. Once the Mo magazine was released, the incident of Liang Zhu would definitely spread throughout the Tang Dynasty. One of them had no parents' orders, and the other had no matchmaker's words, and they actually had their classmates and beds together for three years. In addition, the view that a woman was going to school promoted by Liang Zhuzhong, this was so rebellious in the eyes of some old stubborn people.

Li Shimin couldn't help but frown. If he had been on the side of the minister before, but Modun's move was to clear Princess Changle's name, he would naturally stand on his daughter's side.

Li Shimin had a sudden inspiration and looked at Linghu Defen, the Minister of Rites beside him and said, "Love Linghu, you are the Minister of Rites and are in charge of etiquette in the world. What do you think?"

Linghu Defen suddenly stood up helplessly. He was a member of the Guanlong family, and the Mo family was the key to the prosperity of the Guanlong family. Naturally, he would not offend the Mo family easily. He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Liang Zhu's statement is indeed true and it is widely circulated in various parts of the Tang Dynasty. This is something that everyone knows. The Marquis of Mo wrote is not a false thing, and the officials do not know how to comment."

"Oh, it's really true!" Li Shimin looked surprised, and his acting skills at the level of the actor immediately began to perform.

Yan Shigu, the Minister of the Secretariat, had to list: "Reply to Your Majesty, Liang Zhu's affairs have been circulated in various places and recorded in the county annals. Although the versions are different, it can be seen that it is true."

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Moqian is a matter that connects the world and is widely spread. Mo Dun did not make false statements, so how could he be guilty of his words?"

The censors were stunned and looked at Li Shimin in confusion. No one expected that Li Shimin would let the Mo family go so lightly, and there was a hint of indulgence.

"Of course, since Mo Dun has been appointed as a firearm supervisor by the court, how could he do nothing all day long? He ordered the Mo family to neglect his duties and be fined three months' salary. He ordered Mo Dun to take office immediately and serve the court. If he slacked off, he would definitely be severely punished." Li Shimin shouted.
