33 Jingjing asks for marital autonomy, and Li Bing accepts another apprentice
Gonggong Li sent Li Jingjing the court clothes, jewelry, and tokens of the princess who protected the country, and then presented two bright yellow booklets.
Li Jingjing opened it and looked at the court clothes, eight pieces in all seasons of the year, two pieces per season, one purple and one bright yellow, all of which were dignified and noble long skirts, and the pattern on the skirt was not a phoenix but a four-clawed golden dragon, which was more majestic than the court clothes of several princesses.
The front of the gold-inlaid jade token is delicately carved with a flying golden dragon, but four words: Princess Protector.
The two booklets are the rules of the court and the benefits and obligations of the princess who protects the country.
Gonggong Li was an unknown old man in the palace of the Kai Dynasty, and was later promoted by He Dong to be a personal follower and became a celebrity in the palace.
Later, when Gonggong Li was older, He Dong took pity on him and exempted him from the imperial chamberlain, and found him an easy errand to occasionally deliver orders to the royal family.
Gonggong Li is an old man who has gone through the palaces of the two dynasties, and he knows much more than his concubines.
Li Jingjing happened to have something to ask, so she politely invited Father-in-law Li to sit down for tea and talk.
Gonggong Li didn't dare to stand all the time, he was in good spirits, and said excitedly: "Throughout the millennium, there have only been two princesses who protect the country before you. ”
Li Jingjing smiled with a smile: "Please continue to talk about my father-in-law." ”
When Gonggong Li saw it, he said: "The first is a female general, and she assisted the founding emperor of the first dynasty to ascend the throne. The second was the sister-in-law of the fourth emperor of the Kai Dynasty, who assisted the crown prince in ascending the throne. Both of them are famous in history, and the children of Chang'an City are well known. ”
Li Jingjing immediately said solemnly: "Thanks to Your Majesty's weight, you actually made me the princess of the country." I will be loyal to His Majesty in this life, and I will do my best to share His Majesty's worries. ”
Gonggong Li secretly praised Li Jingjing's courtesy in his heart, and then told her two booklets.
"Your rank is the same as that of the princess of the royal family, but you can go to the court to participate in state affairs, and you can also go down to the army and civilian patrols for Your Majesty."
"The number of the prince's personal soldiers is five hundred in Chang'an City, and three thousand in other cities. The number of your personal soldiers is based on the number of your own soldiers. ”
"Your right to speak in the court is equivalent to that of the prince of this dynasty."
Gonggong Li spoke for a whole hour, and Li Jingjing's heart was surging when he listened.
The Li family fell into a Jedi a few days ago, and at that time, Li Jingjing thought that he must cultivate an elite army to prepare for the unexpected.
Now the thing Li Jingjing wants to do most is to set up a pro-soldier team and have its own armed force.
When Gonggong Li left, he presented a piece of paper and said respectfully: "You have returned Liuyang County to the imperial court before to Your Majesty. His Majesty asked the household department to draw up a list yesterday, so that you can choose one of these cities and counties as a fief within three days. ”
Li Jingjing took the paper to Yuejing Courtyard, invited Li Bing to the study, and asked: "Grandpa, you look at Lintong County, Liquan County, Luohe Mansion, Nanyang Mansion, and Yanzhou, which one should I choose as a fief?" ”
Lintong County and Liquan County are both near Chang'an, the difference is that Lintong belongs to Chang'an, and Liquan County belongs to Shaanxi Province.
Luohe Mansion and Nanyang Mansion are city governments, with an area slightly smaller than the state, and belong to Henan Province.
Yanzhou is now the area of Yan'an, belonging to Shaanxi Province, the soil is yellow is high soil and high slopes, and the Yellow River flows through it.
Li Bing took the paper and glanced at it a few times, it was He Dong's handwriting, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, can you give you the princess's mansion to protect the country?" ”
Li Jingjing then remembered the matter of the princess's mansion, just now Gonggong Li didn't mention it at all, it must be no, he was a little less happy, he pouted and shook his head, and said, "No." His Majesty has always been very picky, and when he removed the court clothes, he gave me two pamphlets and a piece of paper. ”
Li Bing pointed to Luohe Mansion, Nanyang Mansion, and Yanzhou, and said: "Your Majesty has not given you a princess's mansion, so you can choose a city mansion as a fief, and get money from the fief to build one for yourself." ”
Li Jingjing looked into the depths, and said angrily: "Grandpa, you join forces with Your Majesty to pit me?" ”
Li Bing looked aggrieved and said, "My Jing Niang, how can we pit you?" ”
Li Jingjing raised her eyebrows and said loudly: "Luohe Mansion and Nanyang Mansion have had floods in eight or nine years out of ten years, and the people have fled to Chang'an. The soil in Yanzhou is poor, crops grow slowly, and the people are poor and have no meal. If I get any fiefdom, I have to pay for the people with my own money. What are you not pranking me? ”
Li Bing's expression was aggrieved and explained: "Jing Niang, you have wronged me. I've been in the Northland, and I don't know what is going on with the three cities of Ludao. ”
Li Jingjing exhaled angrily: "You have information from all over the dynasty, can you not know the situation of the various provinces in Ludao?" Quibble! ”
Li Bing looked honest and said, "I really don't know about this." ”
"Lishan returns to Lintong County, and I will go to Lintong County." Li Jingjing glared at Li Bing, snatched the paper from his hand and was about to leave, muttering in his mouth: "I won't have any medicine in the future." ”
Li Bing hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is really not doing well this time, I have to go to him and ask him to compensate you." ”
Li Jingjing was so annoyed that she wanted to stomp her feet, raised the fluttering paper in her hand, and said, "Your Majesty didn't give me anything at all." Are you embarrassed to say the word compensation for him? ”
Li Bing spread his hands and asked, "Then what reward do you want?" I'm going to talk to Your Majesty. ”
Li Jingjing said seriously: "I want autonomy in family affairs." Your Majesty can't give me a marriage. My future husband is determined by my grandmother and my mother. ”
Li Bing frowned and asked, "I'm your grandfather, what should I do if your relatives don't let me do it?" ”
He had hinted at someone a few years ago, and someone had been waiting. He can't break his word.
Li Jingjing snorted lightly, pouted and shook her head: "You still remember that it was my grandfather, I thought you had forgotten." ”
Li Bing immediately smiled and said softly, "How could I forget." ”
Li Jingjing said angrily: "I thought you remembered Dingchao and Your Majesty, and forgot all the people in your family." ”
Since Li Bing had two previous convictions of dying for his career, she would no longer respond to his requests for drugs in the future.
"You all dwell in my heart. As long as I live, I will never forget you. When Li Bing said this, he remembered that Qin Minye vomited blood and fell ill for Li Jingjing, and his eyes looked a little inquiring.
Li Jingjing was a little weak by Li Bing's gaze.
Li Bing said in a low voice: "Jing Niang, you will be twelve years old after the New Year, and you will be thirteen years old after the New Year. Your mother was married to your father when she was thirteen years old. ”
Li Jingjing asked rhetorically: "When you married my grandmother, how old were you and my grandmother?" ”
Li Bing said solemnly: "I had already joined the rebel army at that time, and I was wandering in troubled times, so I couldn't get married too early. Your grandmother is late because her father and brother are in charge of a cheap business. You're different. ”
Li Jingjing shook her head, and said with some nonsense: "Why am I different?" I don't want to get married so early. I want to stay in the house to accompany my grandmother and my mother. If you don't want me to accompany you, forget it, I'll support myself. ”
"I'm willing to raise it for the rest of my life. But you are too outstanding, and you are remembered by many young people, and the later you are in the family, the more variables you have. Li Bing paused and said softly: "Your aunt's family Minye has been waiting for you for so many years, and you are still sick after being rejected by you." ”
Li Jingjing's face was guilty.
Li Bing saw that his granddaughter was unhappy, and his heart softened and said: "Minye is young, and it was smooth sailing before, so it's good to get a little hit this time." ”
Li Jingjing's eyes lowered, and she said softly: "My mother has been going to see him for the past few days, and he is much better." ”
Li Bing lowered his voice and asked, "You say what is in your heart, have you ever thought of entering the palace as a crown princess?" ”
"I never thought about it. I don't want to enter the palace, and I don't want to be a princess who looks very beautiful, but is actually very tired. Li Jingjing raised her head and glared, and said hurriedly: "Grandpa, I thought that the person who knew me best was you, but it turned out that I was wrong." ”
Li Binglang laughed a few times and said, "I know you don't want to." I'm just going to hear from you. You say, what's wrong with the palace? ”
Li Jingjing raised her eyebrows and said: "I don't want to enter the palace, just like you don't want to go to the morning court in the morning." ”
Li Bing coughed dryly.
He was indeed very disgusted with going to the early morning court, because after returning to Chang'an, he had not participated in the early court.
He Dong understood his temperament, and gave him the official position of canonization side by side with the king and the prince, so there was no need to go to the court every day.
"I heard that your Zhuangzi is almost built, so I'll send you a few people and add some plays." Li Bing took out an ancient book from the bookcase, put an envelope in Li Jingjing's hand, and said with a smile: "My good granddaughter, how can I forget you." ”
Li Jingjing opened the envelope and looked at the contents inside, happy in her heart, but her appearance was not revealed.
Sure enough, Li Bing thought that Li Jingjing was not satisfied, and asked, "My Jingniang, what do you think you need from your grandfather?" ”
Li Jingjing immediately said: "This is what you said. I want you to send me to wear first-class armor and ride high-class military horses, and I can use 450 personal soldiers to 10 and 50 female soldiers with strong martial arts, for a period of one month! ”
Li Bing was so remorseful that he wanted to bite off his tongue, and said loudly angrily: "You are really a lion's mouth." ”
Li Jingjing said triumphantly: "When have you written to me in the past few years in the Northland, not a lion's mouth?" Good grandpa, I learned this from you. Do you think I haven't graduated yet, and I want less from you? ”
After Li Bing waited for Li Jingjing to hum a little song and walked away triumphantly, he immediately called Li Li over and retold Li Jingjing's words lightly, which made Li Li's head big when he heard it.
"Jing Yan has been idle lately, so let him help Jing Niang do these things." Li Bing's words saved Li Li at once.
The next morning, the officials talked about the draft again.
He Dong said coldly: "After the war, the treasury was empty, and I didn't have the money to draft. ”
"Your Majesty, the draft is related to the heirs of the royal family, and it is a major event of the country, so you can't choose it."
"Your Majesty, the draft can be simple."
Officials of the Hu and Liu ethnic groups and dozens of officials persisted in persuading He Dong.
At this time, Qin Xionghuang and Liang Guogong came out to ask He Dong to canonize He Yiyang as the crown prince and calm the people's hearts.
Those officials whose children and grandchildren had ambushed He Yiyang and Li Yunxiao in Chang'an Academy were unprecedentedly united and unanimously opposed.
"The Seventh Prince is fierce and vicious, how can he be the prince?" "The minister asks His Majesty to appoint the eighth prince as the crown prince."
If He Yiyang becomes the crown prince, he will definitely settle accounts with them when he ascends the throne in the future. For the sake of the future, they must not let He Yiyang become the crown prince.
He Yijue and He Yiyang are also born from the founding queen, they are only five years old this year, and if they become princes, they will have nine years to become adults.
Nine years is enough time for them to join forces to frame He Yiyang and lose the princely throne, or drive He Yiyang out of Chang'an to his fiefdom.
"The matter of establishing a prince is to be discussed." He Dong's face was pale, and he waved his hand to directly ask the eunuch to announce that Linzhang County would be given to Li Jingjing as a fief.
More than a dozen officials came out to join the list, "Your Majesty, several princes have already started a family, but now they still live in Chang'an, and according to the rules of the court, they left Chang'an to live in a fiefdom. ”
"The princesses who protect the country have fiefs, and Your Majesty should give fiefs to several princes, so that they can settle in the fiefdoms to show the majesty of the dragon."
He Donghu's eyes shot a cold light, and he said coldly: "This matter will be discussed next year." ”
Chang'an Academy is closed on the last day of every decade, and students who live nearby can return home.
Li Yunxiao and He Yiyang immediately rode a thousand-mile horse into Chang'an City and returned to Li's Mansion after class.
Li Yunxiao asked, "What about my grandmother, my mother, and my sister?" ”
The servant replied, "If you go back to the second young master, the old lady, the eldest lady, and the young lady will go and see the second master's new house." ”
Li Bing agreed that Li would go out and live alone after getting sick.
He Dong gave a gift - to give Li Qubing a mansion as a marquis's mansion.
The house has two five-entry courtyards and four three-entry courtyards, which are not small in area, but the inside is empty. Li Bing spent money to buy furniture, etc.
These days, in addition to being busy with Li Qu's wedding, He and Li Jingjing also have to go to see the house.
What Qu can help with is to watch the house and take the twins.
"Little fat man, you go with me to find grandpa, and today I must get grandpa to agree to accept me as an apprentice." He Yiyang's eyes were firm, and he took Li Yunxiao to the study, where he saw Li Bingzheng sitting and reading the official newspapers of the imperial court.
A few days ago, as soon as Li Bing returned to Chang'an, He Yiyang knelt here all night to become his disciple. Li Bing refused on the grounds of "unfilial piety".
After the two children bowed to Li Bing and saluted, He Yiyang knelt down and said, "Grandpa, I have made your words clear, I was wrong." I shouldn't be disobedient to my father and queen mother. I'm going to visit them at the palace often in the future. ”
After Li Bing heard He Yiyang Ken call Murong Ying his mother, he put down the official report, his eyes were bright, and asked, "You don't go directly to the palace after school today, but come to my house, this is to think clearly?" ”
He Yiyang didn't dare to face Li Bingneng's perceptive gaze, lowered his head and whispered: "I told my father and mother before, when will you accept me as an apprentice, and when will I return to the palace." They allowed me. ”
Li Bing said unhappily: "You take it back to the palace and threaten me?" ”
He Yiyang hurriedly raised his head and explained, "Grandpa, I definitely don't dare to threaten you. I have the intention of breaking the kettle, and I must let you accept me as an apprentice. ”
Li Yunxiao knelt down and said, "Grandpa, grandson, please promise the little thin man." ”
Li Bing got up and walked up to He Yiyang and asked, "Your Majesty wants to make you the crown prince, what do you think?" ”
In the past few days, the biggest thing in the court is the establishment of the reserve, which has spread to all parts of the Dingchao and flew to Chang'an like snowflakes.
Everyone in Chang'an Academy knew about this.
He Yiyang, as a party concerned, at this critical moment that decided his fate, was unexpected, he did not enter the palace or ask anyone for help, and studied in the academy like usual.
His performance pleased He Dong, but he was worried that he was unwilling to be the prince, so he asked Li Bing to persuade him.
He Yiyang asked rhetorically: "Grandpa, if I become the prince, can I still be your disciple?" ”
"I'm not good at statecraft. You became the crown prince, and I will accept you as a registered disciple. Li Bing paused, saw He Yi frowning, and continued: "However, if you don't listen to Your Majesty's words, you are not filial, and I won't even give you the title of a registered disciple." ”
He Yiyang's eyes were confused, and he asked, "Can it only be a registered disciple?" ”
Li Yunxiao hurriedly said: "Little thin man, my sister is also a registered disciple of the medicine god Chi Lingzi's grandfather, and she still gets all the ancient prescriptions. ”
He Yiyang's eyes were clear, he showed a big smile, kowtowed three times, and said loudly: "Master, I will be the prince." ”
Li Bing kicked He Yiyang with a smile and scolded: "Stupid boy, I haven't agreed to how many people want to be my registered disciple, you still dislike it?" ”
He Yiyang happily looked up to the sky and laughed a few times, jumped up and hugged Li Bing's thigh, and said loudly: "Master, thank you for accepting me as a stupid apprentice." ”
Li Yunxiao got up and said happily on the side: "Little thin man, you finally got your wish." ”
Li Bing picked up He Yiyang with both hands, put away his smile, and said solemnly: "You remember, as long as you don't listen to Your Majesty's words in the future, I will expel you from the door." ”
He Yiyang hurriedly responded.
When the Li family learned of this, they congratulated He Yi one after another.
Li Bing sent someone to call He Jingyan, and invited Vice President Niu as a witness, held a simple ceremony in the mansion to accept He Yiyang as a registered disciple, and deliberately spread the matter to the magnates of Chang'an City.
After hearing the news, the patriarchs of the Hu and Liu clans and the young patriarchs immediately met in secret. This time, as on the previous occasions, no one from the royal family came.
"Li Bing, the celestial star, accepted the Seven Princes as a registered disciple, which makes it clear that he wants to assist the Seven Princes as the crown prince."
"The people's hearts are all towards Li Bing, and we can't touch him hard at this time."
"If the Seventh Prince becomes the crown prince and marries the princess of the country as the crown princess, and the royal family joins forces with the Li family, we will have no future."
"The princess of the protector must not be allowed to become the crown princess."
"The princess of the protector will only be twelve years old next year, and this year's draft is not old enough."
"We must let His Majesty end the draft before the end of the year!"
At the same time, Li Bing took He Yiyang into the palace and met He Dong who was buried in the ocean in the Xuanzheng Palace.
He Yiyang bowed respectfully and said, "Erchen has seen my father. ”
He Dong hurriedly put aside the fold in his hand, looked up to the sky and smiled for a few days, nodded with relief, and said, "Yang Lang, you have finally entered the eyes of Mr. ”
"Your Majesty, the Seventh Prince promised his ministers that he would be a good prince." Li Bing stepped forward to salute and was helped up by He Dong's hands.
Junchen quickly gave a quick look.
After He Dong asked He Yiyang about his life in Chang'an Academy, he found a copy from the fold, handed it to him, and said with a smile: "The Ministry of Rites presents a roster of show girls, and you choose one of them." ”
The rules of the dynasty, the triennial draft of the royal family, and the young ladies who are twelve years old and have not been engaged in family affairs can participate in the three-year draft of the royal family.
He Yiyang wanted to throw the roster on the ground and step on it a few times, but he couldn't help it, so he could only open it and look at it with ten lines.
The names of Deng Yun, Tian Susu, Wang Yanyu, Liu Liqing, and Hu Xuelan are prominently listed.
If the Ouyang family does not rebel, the names of Ouyang Xiu and Ouyang Hong will also be among them.
After reading all the names of the show girls, he was inexplicably irritable and anxious, and pleaded: "Father, the son is still young and doesn't want to get married, can you live a few more years." ”
He Dong said slowly: "You are an adult, and you will be the prince, you must get married as soon as possible and have an heir as soon as possible." ”
He Yiyang drooped his face, closed the roster and put it on the desk, bowed his head and said the name of a young lady that surprised the two of them.
He Dong looked at Li Bing, saw his strange expression, and asked, "Sir, have you seen this little lady?" ”
Li Bing nodded, suspecting that there was something wrong with He Yiyang's aesthetics, and was very puzzled in his heart, and asked cautiously, "Are you sure it's her?" ”
