I have already established my power and prestige, so how did Li Shimin come back to life?

Li Chengqian's voice echoed in the court, and his reward surprised all the ministers in the court.

Now Li Jing is still alive and he has been conferred the title of one of the Three Dukes. What an honor this is. After Li Jing dies, won’t he be conferred the title of one of the Three Masters?

For a moment, the atmosphere in the court became subtle, and fighting spirit appeared in everyone's eyes. They saw the emperor's kindness to the meritorious officials and also saw the hope of promotion.

They also want to progress!

After properly arranging the affairs of the Tang Dynasty for the next seven days, Li Chengqian felt exhausted both physically and mentally.

The long hours of government affairs processing, like fine spider silk, drained away his energy bit by bit.

"If you have something to say, please speak up. If not, that's all for today. Please dismiss the court."

Li Chengqian's voice, with a hint of fatigue, spread slowly in the court.

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Xuanling took a step forward. He was dressed in court robes, his expression solemn, and every step seemed to carry a certain mission.

"Your Majesty, I have something important to report!"

Fang Xuanling's voice was steady and powerful.

Li Chengqian was a little surprised and looked at Fang Xuanling.

In the past, when there were important matters, Fang Xuanling would communicate with him privately. After all, there were many people in the court and some confidential matters should not be discussed in public.

Moreover, all the government affairs that needed to be handled today had been completed, and he really couldn't think of anything else that needed to be raised in this court.

However, Li Chengqian still said gently, "If Prime Minister Fang has anything important to report, just speak frankly."

"His Majesty!"

Fang Xuanling bowed slightly and spoke in an earnest tone.

"I, Your Majesty, beg you to marry as soon as possible!"

As soon as Fang Xuanling said this, all the civil and military officials in the court shouted in unison, as if they had rehearsed it beforehand: "Your Majesty, please get married as soon as possible!"

The voice echoed in the court with great momentum.

Li Chengqian glanced helplessly at the ministers in the hall and smiled bitterly in his heart.

Unexpectedly, the nightmare of being urged to get married in the previous life continued to happen to me after I traveled through time and became the emperor.

In fact, Li Chengqian was not very interested in getting married.

Looking back to the time when he was fourteen years old, Li Shimin wanted to appoint a crown princess for him.

He was young and hot-headed at that time, and he rejected the arrangement with a tough attitude.

But Li Shimin was the emperor after all, and no one could disobey his decision.

Thus, the marriage was settled.

Even though Li Chengqian was resisting in his heart, he kept dragging it out.

However, no one dared to marry the eldest daughter of the Su family, so she could only remain unmarried.

When Li Shimin arranged the marriage, the girl from the Su family was only eleven years old, and he was only fourteen. They were still children who had not yet grown out of their immaturity. How could they take on the responsibility of getting married?

Now, time has passed, Li Chengqian is already twenty-two years old, and the eldest daughter of the Su family is also nineteen years old, and has become an adult.

Li Chengqian thought, maybe it was time.

Li Chengqian's eyes fell on the secretary Su Dan (dǎn, third tone) who was standing below.

He saw Su Tan looking at him with eyes full of desire, and those eyes contained years of expectation and helplessness.

Seeing Li Chengqian's silence, Fang Xuanling assumed he was about to refuse, so he quickly continued, "Your Majesty, the foundation of a nation lies in its offspring! Your Majesty's marriage and the birth of a prince will be a blessing to the nation and its people, and will ensure the legacy of our ancestors for generations to come."

"A Queen of the Central Palace will be able to manage the harem's trivial matters for Your Majesty, freeing Your Majesty from worries and allowing you to focus on state affairs. This will also demonstrate Your Majesty's ability to manage the household and will be a great addition to Your Majesty's virtue. I, your humble servant, earnestly implore Your Majesty to marry as soon as possible."

After saying this, Fang Xuanling bowed respectfully to the ground.

Upon seeing this, all the officials bowed again and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty, we beg you to marry!"

Li Chengqian's eyes flashed with helplessness, and he waved his hand and said, "My ministers, don't worry. I didn't say that the marriage won't take place. There's no need to rush us.

"These past few years, the Su family's daughter has suffered." He looked at Su Tan and said, "Su Tan, come forward."

When Su Tan heard this, his face was immediately filled with excitement, his body trembling slightly, and he walked forward step by step.
