Chapter 506: The Beginning and End of the Concubine
"Xiao family! I'm afraid this is a bit too much. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info" Jiang Chengzi couldn't help but sneer when he heard this.
She looked at Mrs. Qin's sneering expression, connected with the things before and after, and knew those things in her heart. The Xiao family is the royal family of the Liang Kingdom, although it was not directly destroyed by Emperor Sui, but after sitting on the dragon chair and tasting the taste of power, how can they give up the taste of ecstasy?
Thinking about it, the Xiao family also put a lot of effort into picking Empress Xiao back then, not only for the sake of the old aristocratic alliance, but also with the purpose of ascending to the world. After that, the civil and military officials of the Sui Dynasty, most of whom were a little promising, had a little development prospect, and almost all of them were inextricably linked with the Xiao family. And the most common of these is marriage. This Li Shimin is brave and good at fighting, and he is a talented and heroic young man, so he wants to be enveloped.
However, the only thing that the people of the Xiao clan didn't expect was that Empress Xiao would really fall in love with Emperor Yang of Sui and join forces with Emperor Yang to deal with them.
Mrs. Qin felt that the girl in front of her was abnormally smart, so she smiled again: "People in this world, not everyone is like your Uncle Qin, thinking about those families and countries. β
"That's true. Jiang Chengzi nodded in agreement, and then asked, "Aunt Qin, is it true that before Concubine Shu was rescued, the Xiao family thought about marrying His Majesty today?"
Mrs. Qin laughed and said, "Ah Zhi, Bing Xue is smart. β
"Is that really the case?" Although Jiang Chengzi guessed it, he was still surprised.
"Yes. Mrs. Qin nodded, took a sip of tea, and then said, "Today's one has accepted this family business." Later, the world changed, and now the one who has ascended to the world, and the layout made by the Xiao family is considered to be abandoned. β
"I heard my eldest uncle say that the Xiao family did not get any benefits after the current one ascended the throne, and the people who were close and far were all eliminated by the eldest grandson Wuji. Others can't see their thoughts, and the eldest grandson Wuji is not a vegetarian. Jiang Chengzi said sarcastically.
Mrs. Qin nodded and said, "That's exactly it." The third child of the Xiao family took such a road, although the king of Shu was a concubine, he still came to mention the baby relatives set that year. This family affair is what the current person personally agreed, and now that the third child of the Xiao family mentioned it, he was also difficult to ride a tiger, so he had to agree. β
After all, the Lanling Xiao family is also a big family, and the third child can lead the troops, and he is not a concubine or a side branch. Why is she a side concubine now?" Jiang Chengzi was very strange.
"You're right. That side concubine is indeed the descendant of the Xiao family, and I heard that she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, riding and astrology, and her appearance is not bad. This fame is even closer to the rising stars of Yang's Ajing and Wang's A-Ping. When Mrs. Qin said this, the sneer on her face was even more obvious.
"It's a pity that such a powerful woman is the side concubine of the prince. Jiang Chengzi really felt that if she was such a woman, it would be a pity in terms of interests.
"What's the pity? Ah Zhi is from the Hongnong Yang clan, and this time he has encountered those persecutions in the Hongnong Yang clan, don't you understand the Xiao family's idea of fighting one door?" asked Mrs. Qin rhetorically.
Jiang Chengzi's breath stagnated, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It turned out that they thought they were hiding it well, but they didn't expect that they were so thoughtful, but everyone knew it." β
"Not really. What those famous families are doing together in private, the one who knows it now. This Tang Dynasty has entered the hands of today's person, and the thoughts of the Xiao family have come alive. Therefore, Ah Zhi, your Hongnong Yang clan is not the first choice!" Mrs. Qin laughed.
Jiang Chengzi secretly stroked his forehead, and suddenly felt that the alliance of the old nobles was like a clown jumping off the beam. Li Shimin didn't move them, just because he still wanted checks and balances on the new nobles of Long, just because the protΓ©gΓ©s of the old nobles were all over the world, just because the old nobles had controlled the best resources and technology in the world, and they also controlled the wealth of the world.
If their strength is not exhausted, then if you rush to move them, you will encounter the most stubborn resistance. The result is a copy of the end of the Sui Dynasty: the snipe and the clam compete for the fisherman's profit.
Li Shimin is a very smart person, so he chose to turn a blind eye to the things that the old nobles did, and even the purpose of sending Wu Meiniang into the palace later, Li Shimin was also clear.
Alas, fortunately, Hongnong Yang woke up a little this time, otherwise how could he have kept the Yang family.
"That's what I thought. Jiang Chengzi sighed, "However, how did you become a side concubine? β
This is what the King of Shu meant. I don't know what else is going on. After all, the one who is today is also a good promise. made Xiao San's daughter a side concubine, which can also be regarded as ruining the promise. Madam Qin smiled.
"Yes. I'm curious. Jiang Chengzi smiled and asked how the King of Shu turned this concubine into a concubine.
Mrs. Qin then talked about the before and after of this marriage. said that in the second half of the year before last, Xiao San came to mention this matter, Li Shimin did not give Xiao San a good face, saying that the family has a heavy filial piety, how could he mention such a thing, Xiao San was blocked back in a daze.
After nine years of martial arts, the year name was changed, and Xiao San mentioned this matter again. Li Shimin has his own plans and considerations, who knows that Li Shimin has not thought it clearly, Li Ke went to find Li Shimin, knelt down and said about the fairy sister, and said that Li Shimin was in distress several times, and he went to inform others that it was the fairy sister who said. Now, the fairy sister was relegated to the mortal world because of this incident, and she was born in the Hongnong Yang family.
Li Kesheng burst into tears, saying that if he was not a fairy sister, he would not marry, and he would never marry someone else.
Li Ke repeatedly notified people to rescue the besieged Li Shimin. Li Shimin also seemed to believe in the fairy sister, so he agreed to it.
"That's how it was. But the King of Shu still didn't say that he wanted to accept a concubine, how could he accept a concubine?" Jiang Chengzi was very curious. My heart is also sweet, it turns out that the guy is not empathetic.
Well, although in history, Li Ke originally had a Concubine Xiao, and it was in that shattered dream that she also realized that in that high-walled courtyard, there was a woman who seemed to be called Concubine Xiao.
Moreover, in her previous life, she also studied which of the two concubines Li Ke loved more.
All the historical evidence shows that Li Ke loved Concubine Xiao. His children were all born to Concubine Xiao, and the prominent woman who was born in the Hongnong Yang clan finally died alone, leaving no trace of blood and no trace of love. Later, the tomb of Concubine Yang was discovered, which also made people suspect that her mother clan had already suffered a catastrophe.
He has a Concubine Xiao, from the Xiao clan in Lanling.
Of course, now, the past life and this life in the dream show that Li Ke loves Concubine Yang. Well, it's her Jiang Chengzi.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chengzi's heart became happy. Suddenly, I felt that the love in this world was really amazing. When I heard that he was taking a concubine, although I also felt that it was strange, I couldn't help but feel sad and angry in my heart; now I heard that he was just forced to be helpless, and my heart was like a spring in March, and I couldn't help but be happy.
This time, Jiang Chengzi was in a good mood, and when he listened to Li Kena's concubine, he seemed to be listening to irrelevant gossip.
Mrs. Qin explained the reason for the concubine, and Li Shimin originally wanted to stop the marriage. But hearing that the woman was going to hang herself, the Xiao family was in chaos. Li Shimin also felt that he couldn't break his promise, so he negotiated with Li Ke about the conditions, if he wanted to go to Hongnong Yang's family to choose a concubine, he had to accept Xiao's as a side concubine.
"Female junior, hug the gold brick!" Jiang Chengzi said with a smile.
Mrs. Qin looked at her like this, and her hanging heart finally let go, and said, "Ah Zhi, don't say it's funny." This is the origin of the matter of the concubine of the king of Shu. As for the side concubine Xiao, she entered from the side door of the Shu Palace, and there was no ceremony for the big wedding or anything. Ke'er's child is sincere, he used to see me, and he also talked about the fairy sister. Now it seems that the fairy sister he is talking about is you, right?"
Jiang Chengzi shook his head and said, "I don't remember anything about being an immortal. He said it was me, so I thought it was me. β
"Regardless of whether it's true or not, whoever this kid is good to, it has to be good to whomever he wants. I saved him with your Uncle Qin, and he has always been very good to us. Especially in the past few years, when your Uncle Qin was injured, he visited famous doctors everywhere, and brought back a lot of medical books and prescriptions. This court, looking at the past, there are few people who can really treat your Uncle Qin. Madame Qin sighed. When Li Ke came back from rebirth, he could see the disputes in the court more clearly than anyone else, and he naturally cared for his life-saving benefactor Qin Shubao.
However, Jiang Chengzi still felt sad. This is the fate of the pillars of the country, in the final analysis, it is useless, and it is necessary to make way for interests. However, if she is in the position of Qin Shubao, she will do her best to calm the troubled times in the world.
"It's just that Ke'er's identity and fate will be very bumpy in the future. Ah Zhi, he treats you so sincerely, since you have chosen him, you will never give up. Mrs. Qin chattered, and her tone was very expectant.
Jiang Chengzi said solemnly: "Aunt Qin, don't worry, if he doesn't leave, I won't give up." And, I'll guard him. β
Mrs. Qin clapped her hands excitedly and said, "Good boy, good boy." Ah Wu is right, it's excellent to have you there. β
Jiang Chengzi is full of black lines, this Chai Lingwu is really a big mouth, I don't know how much nonsense she has.
"My brother-in-law is really an award. Jiang Chengzi smiled awkwardly.
"Ah Wu is also a sincere child, and the Chai family is also loyal and courageous. You can enter the genealogy of the Chai family, and in this Chang'an, no one can easily move the six rooms of the Yang family. Mrs. Qin said.
Jiang Chengzi understood that Mrs. Qin was pointing out the situation in Chang'an for her. Then he said seriously: "My father-in-law treated me very well, accepted me as a righteous daughter, and let me be included in the family tree, and gave me the brand of the daughter of the Chai family." β
Jiang Chengzi said and took out the sign he was carrying, which was given to her by Chai Shao when he left. When Mrs. Qin saw it, her eyes lit up, and she applauded again and again, saying, "This Chai Shao is quite reliable." If you have any big things in the future, don't forget that you are the daughter of the Chai family. Since ancient times, this has been the first time that a righteous girl has been accepted into the family tree, such as your father-in-law. β
"Hmm. My grandfather also said that this is a great honor, and it is my father-in-law's great love for me. Jiang Chengzi also said.
"So, I'm relieved. Mrs. Qin seemed to be muttering to herself. Then he said, "Now that you have entered this Chang'an, you will always have to deal with people in the future." There is a cloud in the art of war: 'Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles'. Although I have stayed at home all these years, there are many people in Chang'an City, large and small, who are familiar with each other. Today, as soon as you and I see each other, I will make small talk with you. You should also accompany my old wife to relieve her boredom. Mrs. Qin said while eating the pastry.
Jiang Chengzi was quite moved.
First, I was moved by Mrs. Qin. This Mrs. Qin chatted lightly, but she was actually doing popular science for her to gain a firm foothold in Chang'an and grasp the situation in Chang'an.
The second is moved by Li Ke's carefulness. He sent her here, presumably after careful consideration: in this huge Chang'an City, the only one who can really protect her and treat her sincerely is Qin Shubao's family.
