Chapter 324 A tactful way to propose marriage

Gao Lishi didn't ask a direct question, Ben Dang didn't understand the stakes, and after entering the side hall of Anfu Palace, he accompanied Princess Xianyi to wait for the holy car to come.

After nearly half an hour, Li Longji came out of the inner hall with a sense of excitement, his steps were unsteady, and his spirit was a little sluggish.

The emperor didn't want to show weakness in front of his daughter, so he barely supported his body and sat down, waiting for Princess Xianyi to come forward to greet him.

"Xianyi, I rarely see you in normal times, what is the important thing today, do you have to come to see me?" Li Longji's voice was also weak.

Princess Xianyi said with a smile: "It's not that my father can't see my daughter, it's because my father is too busy, in addition to managing state affairs, these days I'm also busy with Taoist Dharma ceremonies and retreats, and my daughter can't see her if she wants to......"

"You girl, it's better to say anything directly, my father has been very tired recently and needs to rest." Li Longji did not complain, when he looked at Princess Xianyi, he was in a good mood, and a rare smile rose on his face.

Without waiting for Princess Xianyi to say anything, Gao Lishi next to him asked worriedly: "Your Majesty, is it the elixir that you sent before, ...... Not taking? ”

Li Longji waved his hand and said distressedly: "Those pills, the strength in the early stage was too strong, and I felt fluttering after taking it, but after that momentum, I felt bored, I couldn't lift my spirits, and I couldn't even straighten my body, so it was better to touch them less, and I don't know if there was a better pill...... Xianyi, tell me about yourself. ”

Princess Xianyi's words had already reached her lips, and when she heard the conversation between Li Longji and Gao Lishi, her eyes lit up, and she said with a smile: "Father, the son is here, just to tell you about alchemy, and the son heard about Yang Daochang...... It is Uncle Yang Yun, who has a good elixir formula, not to mention prolonging life, but also strengthening the body, and further, it has the effect of immortality. ”

When Li Longji heard this, his spirit instantly lifted, his eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief, "Really?" ”

Gao Lishi was dumbfounded, didn't Princess Xianyi say what marriage she wanted to talk about just now? Feelings are just playing sloppy, lie to me, right?

Offering the elixir is your true purpose!?

Gao Lishi secretly thought: "Isn't it, no matter how boring the little princess is, it is impossible for her to come to talk to Your Majesty specifically for Yang Yun's marriage, and it is so urgent, there must be something more urgent...... Why didn't I ask Daoist Yang in advance, is there a panacea? ”

Princess Xianyi said with a smile: "Erchen knows that there is such an elixir, why don't you hurry up and inform your father?" But I'm afraid that things will be wrong, for example, what he says is not clear, or there are exaggerations......"

"No, it won't."

Li Longji trusted Yang Yun very much, shook his head with a smile and said, "Yang Tianshi has a pure temperament, I know it, his sister is a Nine Heavens Xuannu, and he himself studied under a master, his attainments are by no means as simple as they seem on the surface, he must have taken some kind of elixir to promote Dao cultivation......

What was not there was originally went to Yang Yun in one go, and it was also the emperor who was too mythical to Yang Yun, and made up for it by himself without anyone reminding him.

Gao Lishi reminded: "Your Majesty, Yang Tianshi never said that he had a panacea......

The voice was very small, Li Longji didn't hear it at all, his attention was all on Princess Xianyi at this moment, and he couldn't wait to ask, "Is there a good pill?" Send me some! I couldn't help but want to see how effective Yang Tianshi's elixir was. ”

Princess Xianyi's face was slightly disappointed, and she said, "Yang Tianshi said that his elixir lacked the necessary materials, such as Tianshan Snow Lotus, Millennium Lingzhi and the like. ”

Li Longji pointed at Gao Lishi and said, "Lux, you ask what is missing, and send it to Yang Tianshi quickly." ”

Gao Lishi didn't want to mention how awkward it was, he looked at Princess Xianyi, hoping that Princess Xianyi would say that she was ugly.

Princess Xianyi still looked very regretful, and said: "Father, the matter of alchemy, especially the refining of the elixir of immortality, cannot be rushed, and the retainer will try his best to assist Yang Tianshi in completing this matter, but before that...... The son wanted to ask his father for his consent. ”

"Huh!?"

Li Longji frowned.

What could be more important than alchemy for me?

Princess Xianyi said: "If the father and emperor don't agree, the sons have no intention and are unable to help Yang Tianshi complete the alchemy, but it is related to Yang Tianshi's marriage......

When Gao Lishi heard this, he was a little relieved.

The little princess didn't say anything after all, but still mentioned Yang Yun's marriage.

Li Longji was surprised at first, and then smiled: "Could it be that you are interested in Yang Tianshi?" Also, the man is unmarried, the woman is not married, your age is not young, you should talk about marriage after the marriage, I have talked to your mother a few times before, it seems that she is interested in Yang Huan, the commander of the guard, but since you like Yang Tianshi, then I will ......"

Princess Xianyi was anxious: "Has my father forgotten that my daughter said at the palace banquet before that she should cultivate the Tao wholeheartedly?" How can a Taoist girl talk about marriage at will? ”

"Huh? You...... So what do you mean? ”

Li Longji didn't understand at all.

This daughter is too eccentric, and careful thinking is not something that he, a father, can guess.

Princess Xianyi said: "Erchen knows that Li Xilang wants to marry his daughter to Yang Tianshi, and the two sides will form a family, but Erchen thinks that Li Xilang's daughter, that Miss Li, is not a good match for Yang Tianshi. ”

Not to mention that Li Longji's brain has become a paste, even Gao Lishi stared wide-eyed and looked confused.

At this time, Li Linfu had not mentioned anything to Li Longji about the marriage between Yang Yun and Li Kong'er, and Li Linfu was confident that he could handle it himself without the emperor coming forward.

Why bother the emperor with such a trivial matter and cause Li Longji to be displeased?

Li Longji looked at the thoughtful Colliers next to him and asked, "Lux, what did Xianyi say?" ”

Gao Lishi laughed and said: "Li Xilang admires Yang Tianshi's personality, and thinks that Yang Tianshi is young and young, and he is the same age as one of his daughters, so he wants to promote this marriage...... Lao Chen also heard about it, who cares about this kind of thing? ”

Li Longji smiled helplessly when he heard this, touched his chin and thought about it, and asked, "Xianyi, what does other people's marriage have to do with you?" ”

"If it is related to the matter of his father's alchemy, the son thinks it is necessary to say it...... As far as Erchen knows, that Miss Li herself is also a cultivator, and Erchen has read it from ancient Taoist books, saying that if a woman has a perverse and cunning personality and has bad intentions, even if a Heavenly Master with a profound Taoism is close to her, it will damage the Dao Foundation, and it is even more likely that the Heavenly Master will fall into the Demon Dao ...... because of this."

Princess Xianyi is obviously talking nonsense.

Li Longji shook his head again and again after hearing this: "Where did you hear such absurd rumors?" ”

Gao Lishi blinked, as if thinking of something, and reminded: "Your Majesty, since the princess said that she had seen it, it may be true, and the old minister heard that Miss Li is very special in her comprehension of Taoism...... Maybe it's really not suitable to get too close to Yang Tianshi? ”

Compared with Princess Xianyi, who simply couldn't get used to Li Linfu wanting to marry Yang Yun, Gao Lishi said this obviously out of the purpose of the party struggle...... He didn't want Li Linfu to get too close to Yang Yun and affect his status by the emperor's side.

Since Princess Xianyi took the initiative to stand up and instigate, then he pushed the boat down the river and said a few words, so he not only sold a good woman to Princess Xianyi and Concubine Wu Hui standing behind her, but also achieved his goal by the way, anyway, even if it is verified in the end, it is Princess Xianyi who is responsible, and it has nothing to do with him.

Li Longji still felt unreasonable, waved his hand and said, "This kind of thing, how can I come forward?" Do I have to take care of the marriage between the courtiers? ”

Princess Xianyi said with a smile: "Erchen thought of a clever plan, why don't you give your father a marriage to Yang Tianshi, so won't it indirectly dispel Li Xilang's idea and resolve this matter?" ”

"Huh?"

Li Longji's brows furrowed even tighter.

For the sake of an already evil rumor, destroying the marriage between courtiers, and now for such a ridiculous thing, he has to marry his nominal brother-in-law Yang Yun?

Gao Lishi stepped forward and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that what the princess said is reasonable...... What do you think, this Li Xilang usually knows a lot about Taoist affairs, why is he in a hurry to marry his daughter to Yang Tianshi? It must be that he wants to get some convenience through Yang Tianshi, since His Majesty wants to use Yang Tianshi to refine the pill now, will the future pill be dedicated to His Majesty first, or will it be given first...... What about Li Xilang? ”

This theory sounds very unreliable, but it can touch Li Longji's heart more than what Princess Xianyi said.

If Li Linfu became Yang Yun's father-in-law, then Yang Yun came out of the alchemy pill, and Li Linfu went to ask for it, Yang Yun might really give it to Li Linfu first, and the elixir of heaven may have to work hard to refine it, and if he gave it to Li Linfu, wouldn't he, the emperor, be unable to get it?

Seeing that the emperor hesitated, Gao Lishi hit the railroad while it was hot: "Your Majesty, Li Xilang has a deep understanding of Taoism...... It stands to reason that a Taoist genius like Yang Tianshi should not get too close to Li Xilang. ”

After thinking about it carefully, Li Longji bowed slightly, and agreed with this statement.

The emperor hasn't gotten much convenience from Yang Yun, Li Linfu wants to "take the lead", the elixir of immortality is one thing, if Li Linfu really has any disobedience and wants to use Yang Yun to usurp the throne, won't it threaten the fortunes of the Tang Dynasty?

"Xianyi, your concerns...... I understand, but what do you mean, how do you let me give marriage? Li Longji's face was much more serious this time, and he asked solemnly.

Princess Xianyi replied respectfully: "Erchen usually befriends the second lady in Zhang Linggong's mansion, this second miss Zhang Linggong is the granddaughter of Zhang Linggong, she doesn't know much about Taoism, and her age is similar to Yang Tianshi, and Zhang Linggong has always opposed His Majesty's worship of Taoism, and he never believes in Taoist miracles in private, which is a well-known thing." ”

"Erchen thinks that if you don't want someone to take advantage of Yang Tianshi's marriage to seek benefits, you have to marry an upright and unbelieving person like Zhang Linggong."

This view was not shared by Colliers.

Although Gao Lishi guarded against Li Linfu, he didn't say that he wanted to accept Zhang Jiuling, he didn't want to cheapen Zhang Jiuling in vain, so that Zhang Jiuling could get Yang Yun, an upstart in the political arena, as a helper.

But without waiting for Colliers to object, Li Longji figured everything out.

Li Longji said: "Xianyi is really the wisest princess under my knees, all of her worries are for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, I also think so, it should not be made waves by someone with a heart to make trouble about Yang Tianshi's marriage, it is better to let Zhang Linggong marry his granddaughter, it can be regarded as my sympathy for Yang Tianshi and solve his marriage matter!" ”
