Now Zhao Chen¡¯s prestige in the Tang Dynasty is very high. This is true. Let alone the Tang Dynasty, even countries such as Tubo and Goguryeo around the Tang Dynasty will be bulldozed. It is only a matter of time.
Chang Le was still worried: "It's not about anything else. It's because the emperor's grandmother has been depressed recently, and her birthday is coming soon. My father has been looking for many birthday gifts to make the emperor's grandmother happy, but the emperor's grandmother is not interested."
"oh?"
Zhao Chen was stunned for a moment, Imperial Grandmother?
He began to recall, and soon he thought of who this royal grandmother was.
To put it simply, this imperial grandmother is the mother of Empress Changsun, who is also Li Shimin¡¯s mother-in-law. There is no record of her name in history, she is just called Gao, and there is no record other than that.
This Gao family naturally supported and loved Li Shimin and Empress Changsun very much. After Li Shimin took over the world, he also kept a very low profile, not interfering in political affairs, and just quietly taking care of his old age.
Li Shimin naturally respects Mr. Gao very much, and he would naturally spend time on every birthday, just to be happy for Mr. Gao, if not for anything else. After all, Mr. Gao is now 70 or 80 years old at least. An old man of this age, A happy smile is more important than anything else.
Zhao Chen figured it out, put his arms around Chang Le, raised and lowered his hands and asked, "What do our royal grandmothers usually like? Have you ever thought about giving her a gift?"
"Yes, we prepare them every year. There are porcelain from Jiangnan, splendid embroidery from the Shu Road, and all kinds of exquisite objects. We even found the descendants of Lu Ban, but the emperor's grandmother is not interested in these. By the way, the emperor's grandmother There was a time when I liked letting people read history, especially the period of the Three Kingdoms."
Zhao Chen took a note and asked again: "Have you prepared any programs? After all, it's your birthday, so you have to prepare a program."
Changle thought for a while: "There are also some ordinary programs. Before, there were singing and dancing every year. Later, the emperor's grandmother invited Buddhist monks to come to celebrate her birthday every year and pray for her father."
After finishing speaking, Chang Le looked at Zhao Chen: "Husband, do you have any idea?"
Zhao Chen pinched Chang Le and said, "Who do you think your husband is? Is it rare for your husband to be defeated by such a thing? Don't worry, I will cover all the birthday programs for our royal grandmother from now on, and I guarantee that there will be no duplicates every year. Yes, it can make the royal grandmother happy."
Chang Le had a happy face: "Really?"
"That must be true."
Zhao Chen kissed Chang Le and squeezed his hand at the same time. Only then did Chang Le react, his face immediately turned red, and he looked a little charming.
"Changle, let's go in and exercise with my husband first. I will teach you the method later."
Zhao Chen hugged Chang Le and entered the room directly.
On the other side, Li Shimin also handled government affairs quickly, and Li Chengqian also followed.
When he encountered someone who didn¡¯t understand, Li Shimin said directly: ¡°Go to Menxia Province and ask what¡¯s going on with this book.¡±
Li Chengqian has gone, and someone from the province will take turns to be on duty every day to give Li Shimin advice.
Next to the Imperial Study Room, Zhao Chen¡¯s eldest disciple Tang Jun also helped put the memorials into categories.
Li Shimin put down his pen, looked at Tang Jun, and said with a smile: "Tang Jun, you have a good temper. I don't know how Mr. Zhao has tempered you. You are so old and steady at such a young age."
Tang Jun has been following Li Shimin for a while, acting as Li Shimin's secretary. During this time, Li Shimin became more and more satisfied with Tang Jun.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????:????????????????????????????? Rarely talk nonsense, and meticulously carry out the tasks assigned. He is really a talent.
At this moment, another young eunuch came in, leaned into Li Shimin's ear, and whispered something.
When the eunuch retreated, Li Shimin pondered for a while and asked: "Tang Jun, do you know how to make the old man happy?"
Tang Jun pondered for a moment: "Your Majesty, you should be happy if you have descendants Chenghuan, a house full of children, and happiness."
Li Shimin smiled, although Tang Jun had good political skills, his answers were useless in this regard.
Because she has countless descendants, but the Gao family is already old. She is in her seventies or eighties. Although she has many descendants, she is not happy from the bottom of her heart.
Thinking that Gao's birthday is tomorrow, Li Shimin felt a little unsure. Before that, he had asked people to prepare many gifts and birthday programs. Unfortunately, Gao might not like these programs.
I also hope that tomorrow, those singing and dancing maids will make the old lady smile.
¡¡
The second day, morning.
A team of guards?He escorted a carriage to the front of the palace.
The carriage went smoothly all the way. When it reached the big palace in the harem, the curtain of the carriage opened and an old lady stepped out.
Her hair has turned completely white. Although her face is full of wrinkles and she uses a cane, she is still energetic.
"Be careful."
Li Shimin quickly supported her.
When Mrs. Gao saw Li Shimin, she sighed: "Shimin, I told you that you don't need to come to the palace for your birthday this year, but you still want me to come over. What a waste of time. Didn't it delay you from handling government affairs?"
Li Shimin smiled and said: "No, the government affairs have been taken care of. After all, it is your birthday, so it needs to be more grand."
"Don't be ruined. I just hope that you will be happy. As a good emperor, I will bless the people of the Tang Dynasty."
"I will."
Li Shimin took Mrs. Gao into the room. Mrs. Gao sat down and a maid came to bring many snacks.
Queen Changsun also came in and saluted Mrs. Gao: "Mother."
Mrs. Gao stretched out her hands, full of joy: "Come on, let me take a look."
Mrs. Gao held Empress Changsun in her arms and saw that she was still healthy. Then she smiled and said, "Just be healthy. Just be healthy. How is your Qi disease?"
"Mom, my anger has been mostly cured, don't worry."
Li Shimin and Empress Changsun chatted with the Gao family for a while, and then invited their descendants to come to celebrate their birthday.
Li Shimin¡¯s sons and daughters were basically all here, as were members of the Changsun clan. Changsun Wuji and Changsun Chong also came.
Afterwards, there was a prepared program, and all the singing and dancing maids from Taile came in.
As soon as they started dancing, Gao said, "Shimin, let them step down. I don't like watching this song and dance either."
Li Shimin could only ask them to step aside and said with a smile: "This is the first program, I have prepared several more."
Mrs. Gao didn¡¯t want to look at it anymore, but after thinking about it, she nodded: ¡°Then let¡¯s look at it again.¡±
The second performance group was an acrobatic troupe invited. However, the acrobatic troupe of the Tang Dynasty was basically no different from the street performers who performed on the streets. However, as soon as they performed, Gao shook his head: "On these days, you can dance with a knife." It¡¯s not good to use a gun, so just retreat.¡±
The second program was cancelled, and the third program came up, but it was a congratulatory song by a foreigner. After only watching half of it, Gao also shook his head: "It's too noisy."
The people around Changsun Wuji, Queen Changsun and others were also helpless.
Li Shimin had no other choice, but at this moment, a voice said: "Grandma, I have also prepared a program for you."
