Zhuang Zhou, unemployed at home, unexpectedly obtained a time-space gate that could travel to the Tang Dynasty's Zhenguan era, and could also carry items with him. Thus, Zhuang Zhou embarked on...
If it could really take root and sprout in the land of the Tang Dynasty.
The people of the Tang Dynasty no longer had to worry about having no food to eat.
Li Er was even happier today as he got a rotary tiller.
Could such a strange person really be from the fairyland?
But at this time Li Er remembered something else, and his face became a little gloomy.
He sighed heavily and said:
"Guanyin, I'm only thinking about how to keep Zhuang Zhou here and make him serve the Tang Dynasty."
Empress Changsun thought for a moment and said:
"Erlang, why not recruit him as an official and give him a higher rank?"
"I've thought about this a long time ago, but Zhuang Zhou has absolutely no intention of becoming an official."
Empress Changsun asked, "Is this person dissatisfied with the low position he was given and is seeking fame and reputation?"
"Absolutely not!"
Li Er immediately rejected it:
"I had a long drunken conversation with this man all night long, and I could tell from his words that he really didn't want to be an official."
How could a good man not want to become an official?
He is so indifferent to fame, wealth and power that it seems there is really no good way to keep him.
After thinking for a while, Empress Zhang Sun said:
"He's a merchant, isn't he? How about arranging a marriage for him and promising him a good deal of money?"
"Actually, I have the same idea."
Li Er echoed this, paused, and then changed the subject:
"Now Changle is about to reach the age of marriage. I am thinking..."
"Erlang, do you want to marry Changle to Zhuang Zhou?"
Li Er was silent.
For a talent like Zhuang Zhou, marrying him to a girl from any family seemed insufficient to show the sincerity of the Tang Dynasty.
And only the most beloved one is Changle!
Speaking of which, Princess Changle was not Li Er's first daughter.
It should be the fifth one.
But because Changle was born to Empress Zhangsun, she was considered the eldest daughter.
Historically, Li Er's daughters all married founding heroes and prominent families.
This is a typical political marriage.
"But Changle and Chong'er are already engaged. How can we talk to our brother?"
Li Er did not comment. This was something he had agreed upon with Changsun Wuji a long time ago.
In front of Guanyinbi, he was completely open and spoke whatever he wanted to say.
"I'll talk about this matter when I find a chance!"
Empress Zhang Sun said with some worry:
"Zhuang Zhou is a Nanyang merchant after all. If he is granted the title of imperial consort, he will inevitably be criticized by the court officials, and the aristocratic families will not tolerate him."
"Humph! Whoever refuses to tolerate him will be my enemy!"
After saying this, Li Er added:
"As long as Zhuang Zhou doesn't rebel, I can guarantee him a lifetime of wealth and glory!!!"
