The one hundred and sixty-eighth persuasion
"Brother Huangfu, the emperor has just decreed that Yuan Qing will be married to the eldest princess, what can I do?" Gongsun Sheng broke into the study of Yuchengxuan in the Dingbei Hou Mansion all the way, and shouted at Huangfu Jingde, who was studying the military book at the desk.
"What? There is such a thing, don't worry, sit down and talk about it, what is going on? Huangfu Jingde was taken aback when he heard this, and quickly got up and took three steps from his seat and made two steps to Gongsun Sheng, pulled him to the chair and sat down, and poured a cup of tea into Gongsun's hand.
Gongsun Sheng ran all the way, but he was thirsty, he tilted his neck and poured all the cup of tea into his mouth, and then said hurriedly: "Just now, the emperor suddenly sent the celebrant and eunuch to deliver the decree to give marriage, and he didn't even hear the slightest rumor in advance, what should I do?" How can Yuan Qing match the princess! Brother Huangfu, if Yuan Qing is a colt, this life will be over! ”
Huangfu Jingde frowned, and said in a deep voice: "This thing is really strange, just a few days ago there was news that the emperor was going to set up a prince, and now there is a marriage move, what happened in this palace?" Virtuous brother, with the understanding of the foolish brother, the emperor is not such a vigorous and resolute character, is he? ”
Gongsun Sheng frowned and said: "What you said is that the foolish brother has been in charge of the forbidden army for some years, and before that, the emperor had to think about what he decided for a few days, and it had never been like now." Brother Huangfu, now the foolish brother can't take care of those, he has to quickly solve Yuan Qing's marriage, Yuan Qing has studied hard since he was a child, he is dedicated to serving the field, if he really does a horse, he will be wasted in this life. It's not that the foolish brother is boasting, Yuan Qing is the most outstanding one of our younger generation of the Gongsun family, and the foolish brother is still looking forward to him being able to provoke the big beam of the Gongsun family......"
Huangfu Jingde saw that his good brother was in a hurry, and his heart was really not a good feeling, he patted Gongsun Sheng's shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Brother Xian, don't mess up." Find out the truth first and then figure it out. ”
Gongsun Sheng nodded and said: "I can only do this first, Brother Huangfu, I will go back to the forbidden army to inquire about the brother on duty today, and ask you to help the foolish brother go to Prince Le's mansion, he may know more." ”
Huangfu Jingde nodded and said, "Okay, Brother Xian hurry up and go to the forbidden army, Brother Fool will go to ask Huan'er about it, and tell you immediately if there is news." ”
Gongsun Sheng nodded, still frowning, and hurriedly left.
Gongsun Sheng just left the Dingbei Hou Mansion less than a pillar of incense, Qi Jinghuan arrived at the Dingbei Hou Mansion, he basically came over every day, under the guise of talking to his father-in-law, and met the truth of Huangfu Yongning.
"Huan'er, you're here just in time!" As soon as Huangfu Jingde saw his son-in-law come in, he stepped forward to speak.
The brightest thing in Qi Jinghuan's body is his head, Huangfu Jingde only showed a slight anxiety in his eyes, and Qi Jinghuan had already guessed why his father-in-law was in a hurry.
"Father-in-law, but General Gongsun came to you for help because of the emperor's uncle's decree to give marriage?" Qi Jinghuan asked with a smile.
"Uh...... Exactly, Huan'er, you are really smart! Now that you've guessed, can you help your father? Huangfu Jingde was stunned at first, and then praised with a smile.
"Father-in-law, please sit down and listen to the son-in-law speak slowly." Qi Jinghuan stretched out his hand to help his father-in-law, Weng and his son-in-law sat down separately, Huangfu Jingde knew that his son-in-law had avoided tea in the past few months, so he poured a glass of white water for him, nodded and said, "Okay, you speak slowly." ”
"Father-in-law, the imperial grandmother and the imperial aunt have taken a fancy to the eldest princess, and the imperial grandmother is worried that the old things from two years ago will be repeated, so she ordered the imperial uncle to promulgate the decree with lightning speed, so as not to have many dreams at night, and now that the holy decree has been issued, there is no room for this family affair." Qi Jinghuan said slowly.
"Oh...... It turns out that this is the case, I have also heard about the eldest princess, and it is enough to say that it is aggrieved, but Yuan Qing ...... "Huangfu Jingde frowned, and his heart was very hesitant, he sympathized with the eldest princess, but he felt even more sorry for Gongsun Yuanqing. Gongsun Yuanqing is a rare young talent, if he can't show what he has learned because he is a colt, and lead the Gongsun family to go further, it is really a pity.
"Father-in-law, the son-in-law knows that you think that the eldest son of Gongsun can't show what he has learned if he is a colt, it's a pity, but in fact, this is not necessarily. Although Da Chen has the old custom that a horse cannot be a real official, it has never been written into the law. As long as Gongsun Dagongzi has real talent and learning, he will have a bright future. Do you remember the old story of my brave and righteous father? Qi Jinghuan was obviously willing to promote this family business, so he talked to his father-in-law in a gentle voice.
Hearing his son-in-law mention Xianyong Yigong, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked, "Huan'er, are you saying that Yuanqing can also follow the example of Xianyong Yigong?" ”
Xian Yongyi Gong is the founder of the Great Chen Emperor Taizong Emperor's three horses, he practiced a good martial arts, with Emperor Taizong to fight on the battlefield for more than ten years, won the trust of Emperor Taizong, after the founding of the country, the Chinese army of Gongwei Gyeonggi was entrusted to him, and named him a product Yongyi Gong and Prince Taibao, and he was extremely trusted.
"In fact, it's not that the royal concubine can't be a real official, but since the first Yongyi Gong, there is no horse with the same talent as the first Yongyi Gong, and he is afraid of the royal power......" Qi Jinghuan smiled a little helplessly, he couldn't say bluntly that none of his aunts and grandmothers and aunts were fuel-efficient lamps, and they were all brutal and coquettish, relying on themselves to be golden branches and jade leaves, and suppressing the horses in various ways, making the already timid horses wilt more and more, even if they had some talent, they were scared away.
After a slight pause, Qi Jinghuan continued: "Father-in-law, the sister-in-law's lobby sister has a soft and gentle temperament, never bullies, and there is no trace of arrogance on her body. If it is the other princesses who are married by the emperor's uncle, the son-in-law has to think of helping the grandson, but that is the son-in-law's lobby sister, the most gentle and obedient, the father-in-law, the hall sister is in a difficult situation in the palace, she finally has such a good opportunity to leave the palace, and the son-in-law does not want to and cannot spoil her marriage. ”
Huangfu Jingde listened to his son-in-law's words very carefully, frowned and pondered, Qi Jinghuan didn't dare to speak, and only looked at his father-in-law with blank eyes. I hope my father-in-law agrees
father-in-law. I hope that my father-in-law agrees with my opinion.
Just when Huangfu Jingde was thinking about it, two people walked in from outside, one was Huangfu Yongning, who hurried over after getting the news, and the other was Gongsun Sheng, who had just learned a little bit from his colleagues on duty.
"Lord Le! The lower official greeted the prince. Gongsun Sheng saw Qi Jinghuan in the room and immediately stepped forward to salute.
Qi Jinghuan got up and hugged Gongsun Sheng, and said with a smile: "General Gongsun doesn't need to be polite, please sit down and talk." ”
As soon as Gongsun Sheng sat down, Huangfu Yongning said: "Uncle Gongsun, I heard that the emperor gave Yuan Qing a marriage?" Gongsun Sheng sighed low and nodded helplessly.
Huangfu Yongning immediately asked with a smile: "Uncle Gongsun, I have heard Grandma Gongsun talk to you many times in the past, and always said that Yuan Qing refused to marry, but now that his family affairs have been decided, why are you still unhappy?" ”
Gongsun Sheng smiled reluctantly, and responded a little perfunctorily: "Uncle is not unhappy, it's just that this will came too suddenly, and Uncle really didn't expect it." ”
Huangfu Yongning didn't understand her Uncle Gongsun's thoughts, but Qi Jinghuan knew very well, he looked at his father-in-law, secretly winked, and then stood up and said, "Father-in-law, if you talk to General Gongsun, the son-in-law won't bother." ”
As soon as Gongsun Sheng heard this, he stood up in a hurry, Qi Jinghuan waved his hand, and said with a smile: "General Gongsun, please sit down, Yongning, I just got a set of soft armor, let's go and have a look?" ”
Huangfu Yongning was naturally very happy, and the little couple happily retreated. Gongsun Sheng looked at the back of the pair of beautiful people and couldn't help but sigh deeply. If it weren't for his wife's disagreement, it would have been his eldest son who walked side by side with Huangfu Yongning, and there would be no troubles today.
"Brother Xian, Brother Fang just asked, this family affair is the queen mother's decision, and the emperor ordered the marriage to be granted, and the queen mother and the queen mother both fell in love with Yuan Qing." Huangfu Jingde didn't wait for Gongsun Sheng to speak, and then spoke first.
"Ah...... Yuan Qing didn't do anything, why did he get into the eyes of the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother? Gongsun Sheng muttered in distress.
Huangfu Jingde smiled and said: "Brother Xian is in a hurry, Yuan Qing wants talents to have talents, talents to have good looks, he is the leading young talent in the capital, and he is also reasonable for the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother." ”
Gongsun Sheng sighed and said helplessly: "Alas, Brother Huangfu, Brother Foolish would rather Yuan Qing be mediocre." ”
"Brother Xian, don't say that, Brother Shicai has asked, I'm afraid there is no room for turning back on this family matter. Don't worry, listen to the foolish brother and slowly share the ...... with you" Huangfu Jingde will tell Gongsun Sheng what Qi Jinghuan said just now, and this will take a quarter of an hour.
After listening to Huangfu Jingde's words, Gongsun Sheng sighed and said: "The matter has come to this point, it is useless to say anything, the eldest princess's character and foolish brother also know a thing or two, Yuan Qing and her marriage are always better than other princesses." As for letting Yuan Qing follow the example of the first Yongyi Gong, this ...... The foolish brother didn't dare to think that my dynasty was founded for a hundred years, and there was only one brave and resolute duke, even if Yuan Qing was talented, it was in vain for Emperor Taizong to know him and use him. ”
Huangfu Jingde was silent for a moment, then lowered his voice and asked: "Brother Gongsun Xian, you have led the forbidden army for many years, and you have dealt with all the princes. ”
Gongsun Sheng raised his eyes to look at Huangfu Jingde, and looked at him for a long time, before he said in a deep voice: "Brother Huangfu, the foolish brother thinks that only the concubine of the main palace is worthy of inheriting the unification!" I don't know what Brother Huangfu thinks? ”
Huangfu Jingde exhaled lightly and said with a low smile: "Brother Gongsun Xian, you and my brother have thought of one place." ”
Gongsun Sheng was also relieved when he heard this, and smiled at Huangfu Jingde, and the irritability that was originally because his son was chosen as a colt also dissipated a lot......
