Chapter 37: King Jing's Anger and the Queen Mother's Countermeasures
Zhao Zhichong returned to the palace and told Liu E what Zhao Mingyue thought, Liu E was also shocked by Zhao Mingyue's actions, but Zhao Yuanyan, the king of Jing, was very sad, Zhao Mingyue married in this way, as a father, even if he loves his daughter, no matter who this matter is put on, especially a prince, he must feel extremely embarrassed. King Jing would never agree, this Zhao Mingyue directly told Zhao Yuanyan about her decision, Zhao Yuanyan was immediately furious, if it weren't for Zhao Mingyue's weak body now, it is estimated that he would have to beat her. At this time, even the princess (Zhao Mingyue's mother) was scolded, saying that the princess had a bad obstacle and lost the face of the palace. The servants and servants of the palace trembled, fearing that they would be implicated. Isn't there a few servants who were whipped to death by King Jing because they blocked the way slightly, screaming again and again.
King Jing angrily went out of the palace again, rode away on horseback, ignoring the pedestrians on the street, many pedestrians were beaten, and those who couldn't dodge were hit, and many people were whipped, and the stalls on the street did not know how much they knocked over, for a time the street was a person on the back of the horse, making a mess, Kaifeng Mansion came to dissuade the servants, and was also whipped. Zhao Yuanyan rode a horse and rushed to Meng Ming's house. At this time, Meng Ming was not at home, lecturing in the university hall; And my father went to Sizhou to inspect the ironworks and cement factories there; Only my mother is at home. When Zhao Yuanyan arrived at Meng Ming's mansion, he scolded and shouted Meng Ming to come out, and when he learned that Meng Ming was not at home, he left in a huff, and when he left, he also whipped the doorman several times.
When Liu E heard the news, he immediately sent someone to summon King Jing to the palace, and King Jing went to the palace to meet Liu E, Zhao Yuanyan was a little afraid of this imperial sister-in-law, and his anger did not subside but he did not dare to show it again. Liu E reprimanded him for disturbing and hurting the people in fear, and King Jing felt that he was at a loss and did not say anything. After Liu E finished training, he let King Jing sit down. Liu E said: "Brother Huang, there are eight brothers of the first emperor, and you are the only one left." Therefore, the mourning family and the emperor are also more favored by your family, and I regard Mingyue's child as my own, so Mingyue's temperament is a little stubborn, and the mourning family is also responsible. Mingyue, this child is also sensible, she is now seventeen years old, and she wants to find a wishful husband, so she fell in love with Meng Ming, what's wrong. It must be unseemly for her to sit like this, but it also shows her infatuation, just ask for Meng Ming, she doesn't even want the name of the county lord, is it possible for her to marry someone else. ”
Liu E said again: "I know that you are not happy, and you are not happy to put anyone on you, but Mingyue always belongs to your flesh and blood, don't you want Mingyue to find her own home and happiness." You are the façade of your Jingwang Mansion. You also know about me and the first emperor, and Emperor Taizong couldn't stop us from being together. Liu E looked at King Jing, only to see that he looked depressed and depressed, knowing that he couldn't force him too much, and it was normal for him to not accept this reality for a while. Liu E asked him to go back and was not allowed to do anything out of the ordinary.
After watching King Jing leave, Liu E also had a headache, she also knew Mingyue's temper, and the right thing was that ten cows couldn't pull it back, if she didn't let her marry Meng Ming, she would either die of incense, or she would become a monk. Meng Ming's marriage is less than a month, and he has to hurry up. In the end, Liu E pondered for a while. In the end, I thought of a way: that is, to accept Li Yuchan as a righteous daughter, add the title of princess, and Zhao Mingyue also named the princess, and marry Meng Ming together. In this way, there will be controversy in the court, and there is a precedent for the two princesses to marry one person. This matter has to be discussed with the emperor, who is also thirteen years old and has his own ideas and opinions.
When Liu E came to Zhao Zhen's bedroom, she told him about Zhao Mingyue, and also told him about Li Yuchan's willingness to die for Meng Ming. Zhao Zhen is also thirteen years old after all, and he also knows a little about the relationship between these men and women. Zhao Zhen admired Zhao Mingyue's courage very much, and also admired Li Yuchan's love for Meng Ming more than Jin Jian. In addition, he also appreciates Meng Ming very much, and he and Zhao Mingyue have grown up since childhood, and they have a good relationship, and they also have the intention of becoming a good thing. In the end, Liu E told the emperor about his thoughts, and the emperor agreed at that time, and Zhao Zhen didn't care about Liu E's fear of opposition from the ministers of the court, and said: "Queen Mother, this is my family matter." Liu E also understood, and in the end, the two discussed, Liu E accepted Li Yuchan as a righteous daughter, canonized Li Yuchan as Princess Roujia, and Zhao Mingyue as Princess Qixia. and postponed the marriage date to March 16 of the second year of Tiansheng, and finally Liu E made the decree. Afterwards, there was some controversy in the court, and in the end, Kou Zhun did not obstruct Meng Ming's face, and those objections were suppressed by the political hall.
Zhao Mingyue's body is also gradually recovering, because she is in a good mood, she has an appetite, and the amount of food is also large. She felt that she was a little ugly at this time, and wanted to recover as soon as possible and return to her original appearance. At this time, King Jing accepted this fact from his heart. Liu E's will is very happy.
