Zhao Tingmei hurriedly agreed, said goodbye and left, and after returning to the prince's mansion, she told Yang Xianmao what Song Taizong said. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Yang Xianmao heard that Song Taizu wanted to see him, but he didn't know what it was, but Yang Xianmao also wanted to see Song Taizong, because the matter of the family's wife and concubine had to be handled by the emperor. Otherwise, if there is a conflict between the emperor's decree and the worship of heaven and earth, it will be troublesome, and the bell needs to be tied to the bell, and the emperor has to be found to deal with this matter.

Finally, when it was almost dusk, Yang Xianmao came to the palace in a sedan chair, and after reporting it, the emperor immediately sent a decree to let him face the saint in the upper study.

Yang Xianmao came to the upper study, Song Taizong sat behind the wide dragon case and looked at him, there was still only Huang Gonggong in the study, and there was no scholar to serve. Presumably, the emperor has something important to discuss with him, and he doesn't want others to hear about it.

After Yang Xianmao bowed down, Song Taizong gave the seat. Yang Xianmao thanked him and sat sideways on a round stool brought by Huang Gonggong.

Song Taizong smiled and said, "I didn't have anything else to do when I called you here, I just wanted to talk to you casually." Yesterday, because you were in a hurry to save Mrs. Chen Guo, I didn't have time to say a lot of things, and I still want to ask you. By the way, newlywed Yan'er, how do you feel?"

Yang Xianmao hurriedly bowed and said, "It's good, thank you for the emperor's concern." ”

"Isn't that good?

When Yang Xianmao heard this, he raised his head and glanced at Song Taizong's face, and suddenly his heart sank, could it be that Song Taizong already knew what happened in his family?

Quite possibly. The emperor sent the snake fairy girl to his side, in addition to protecting the princess and himself, maybe he also had a function, that is, to tell the emperor his whereabouts and actions at any time. Because he is a very important person in the emperor's heart, if the emperor's relatives and relatives who are very concerned about the emperor are seriously ill, or a very important general is seriously injured on the expedition, and Yang Xianmao needs to rush to the rescue urgently, and he does not know Yang Xianmao's whereabouts, he must rely on the amnesty of the world to let Yang Xianmao know and then rush to come, I am afraid that it will delay time.

In addition, once the emperor decides to go on a personal expedition, the military situation is urgent, and he must find himself urgently, if he does not know his whereabouts, there is no way to find him, and it is impossible to wait until he finds himself before sending troops, then the fighter will be lost. Therefore, Song Taizong arranged for the snake fairy Gu to be by his side, and he could report his whereabouts and relevant situation to the emperor. That's why Song Taizong asked just now.

Yang Xianmao didn't say this kind of thing, if he did, both sides would feel bored, so Yang Xianmao let out a long sigh and said: "If the emperor doesn't mention this matter, Weichen really doesn't want to say it, but since the emperor mentioned it, Weichen will tell the truth, and Weichen really wants to find the emperor to find a way to deal with a tricky matter for Weichen." ”

Song Taizong smiled and said, "Oh, your family affairs also need me, the emperor who has a lot of opportunities, to help you deal with them?"

Yang Xianmao smiled and said, "Yes, because this matter was caused by the emperor's canonization decree to Weichen." The bell must be tied to the bell, the emperor, you don't call the shots for the micro-ministers, but no one will make the decisions for the micro-ministers. ”

A smile appeared on the corner of Song Taizong's mouth and said, "What's the matter? ”

Yang Xianmao thought secretly in his heart, what to listen to, you are afraid that you have already received the secret report, and you have already made it clear in your heart, let me say that I am just pretending to be stupid.

thought so in his heart, but pretended not to know on his face, and then 1510 told the whole thing again, and said at the end: "The two women of Weichen, Zheng and Han, Han and Weichen worshiped heaven and earth, and they are legitimate husband and wife, and Zheng is the wife of Weichen confirmed in the emperor's holy decree, and has a decree. In this way, don't there be two wives in Weichen's family? However, it has been clearly stated in the laws of the Great Song Dynasty that there can only be one wife, and those who take concubines as wives will be punished severely. In this way, Weichen was at a loss, so he could only come to the emperor for help. ”

"What do you want me to do?"

Yang Xianmao heard Song Taizong's tone become cold, and he knew that this matter was a little tricky, and his throat and eyes felt a little dry, so he swallowed and said: "The emperor has made a new holy decree, canonized Weichen's wife Han as the fourth rank of the lady, and withdrawn the original holy decree, so that this matter will be straightened out." ”

Song Taizong snorted heavily: "Yang Aiqing, do you think that my canonization decree is to want it, and if you want to retreat, you can retreat?"

Yang Xianmao suddenly sweated on his forehead.

Song Taizong continued: "The reason why I canonized your wife Zheng as Mrs. Decree is not only because of you, but also because she made me feel commendable,—— she dared to sue Prince Qian in Dali Temple, and she helped me fight the traitors, which is very rare, and it can be regarded as a meritorious service, and if you have merit, you should be rewarded, so I canonized her." And what credit does this woman in your hometown have? Why did I canonize her? To make it clear, not every official's wife and concubine can be canonized, and I have already told you that if you want to be canonized, you have to make me feel that there is something to be rewarded. ”

Yang Xianmao nodded very awkwardly. Indeed, why did he ask the emperor for Han Xue'e's title? What is the difference between this and running for office?

Song Taizong continued: "You told me that the Zheng family is your wife, and you will marry her when you go home, so I decreed that she should be canonized as Mrs. Decree." But now you're telling me that you're not going to marry her, you're going to marry another woman, aren't you taking marriage as a child's play? Don't tell me that that woman is also a childhood sweetheart or something like you. In any case, there can only be one wife. You have no jokes, I have made a holy decree to recognize Zheng as your wife and grant you an edict, Zheng is your original wife as I recognize, and I will not recognize anyone else. Do you understand?"

Yang Xianmao secretly complained when he heard this. If that's the case, how can I go back and pay the errand? The family has said that the Han family is the wife, the crown princess is the concubine, and the two women have also recognized this, but now the emperor does not recognize it, and the emperor only recognizes the crown princess Zheng as his wife, what can I do?

Song Taizong saw Yang Xianmao's depressed and embarrassed expression, a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, his tone softened a little, and said: "However, you are a meritorious servant, if I don't help you, I am afraid that you will have some complaints about me in your heart." Okay, I can help you, but I have one condition, if you agree to this condition, I will give you another woman, the Han family, a canonization decree, and also make her the fourth rank of the Lady of the Commandment. The two of them were on an equal footing. As for who will be the original wife, that is your family's own business, and I don't bother to take care of it, and the government doesn't have the leisure to take care of your family's affairs. Isn't that great?"

As soon as Yang Xianmao heard this, he suddenly opened his mouth, and his heart was overjoyed, the emperor's words had been said very clearly, in fact, it was to let the two of them be treated as equal wives. Because both of them are Mrs. Sipin. As for who is the original match, the emperor will not investigate it deeply, and the court will not care. Both women should be happy.

Yang Xianmao sincerely felt that the emperor was the emperor, and he really had a way, and he solved this big problem at once, and stood up with great admiration, and said: "Thank you emperor, in this way, this matter will be solved, it's really good." ”

Song Taizong smiled and said, "If you want my holy decree, you must first agree to my conditions, and if you do it, I will canonize her." ”

Yang Xianmao chuckled in his heart again, but he didn't know what kind of problem the emperor would have, so he quietly wiped his sweat and asked, "But I don't know what the emperor commands?" ”

Song Taizong leaned on the dragon chair, stretched his body first, and found a comfortable position to lie down, as if he was preparing to give Yang Xianmao a long-lasting war of words.

He said: "I have just received a battle report that the Liao army has invaded the northern border with 100,000 troops in two routes. By the afternoon, I had summoned the Privy Council to discuss what to do. Liu Tinghan, the observer envoy, was appointed as the chief military officer, and Meng Xuanzhe, Cui Yanjin, and Li Hanqiong were appointed to lead the men and horses of the headquarters to assemble at the designated place to prepare for the battle. At the same time, Li Jilong was sent as a supervisor to supervise the generals to fight bravely against the enemy. It's just that the Liao army is menacing, and in a hurry, there are not many soldiers and horses that can be mobilized, so this battle should be relatively difficult. I know that these generals have no bottom in their hearts, so I want you to rush to Beijing urgently to participate in this battle to meet the enemy, support and cheer up all the generals, and be their strong backing. Once they are injured, it is up to you to treat them. With your strong backing, they should be able to fight the enemy bravely, move forward, and finally defeat the Liao army. - Let you go with the army to treat the wounded general this time, this is my condition, can you agree?"

Yang Xianmao just heard Song Taizong say that there are conditions, and he was thinking about what the conditions were, and he had a feeling that it must be related to his medical skills, otherwise he really didn't have any other skills that could make the emperor look at him. Sure enough, the emperor proposed to let him serve as a military attendant again, and this time, the emperor did not drive the expedition in person, and did not meet the conditions they discussed, so the emperor agreed to canonize Han Xue'e as the fourth lady again, in exchange for him to participate in the army and back up the front-line generals.

Yang Xianmao weighed for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen is just responsible for their injury treatment, not responsible for charging into battle or commanding the battle, is this the case?"

Song Taizong shook his head and said: "In addition to healing the wounded generals, I also want you to be the supervisor and supervise all walks of life to kill the enemy bravely with Li Jilong." ”

Yang Xianmao was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Weichen doesn't understand military affairs, how can he supervise it?"

Song Taizong said with a little pride: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand military affairs, I understand, I have already written a formation map and handed it to the front-line generals, so that they can arrange the troops according to the formation map." You and the prison army Li Jilong are responsible for supervising them to defeat the enemy and win, so you can't retreat. ”

"Since the emperor has appointed General Li Jilong as the supervisor of the army, why bother to let Weichen be the supervisor again? Wechen is worried that it will be difficult to support the ship and there will be too many supervisors, and I am afraid that he will not know who to listen to, but I am afraid that it will be troublesome. ”
