Chapter 237: Wang Ying vomiting blood
"I actually want to get him out of the sick urgently, Guanyin, the five surnames have always been a big problem for the royal family, and now under the attack of Cheng Qian, not only the five surnames, but also the Pei family and other wealthy families have been defeated and retreated. To be able to help me solve them, Cheng Qian has done a very good job. By the way, have you seen the Su family, what does it look like? ”
The eldest grandson took a sip of the emperor helplessly: "How can a father-in-law care about what his daughter-in-law looks like, the Su family looks good, and there is no secret disease on his body." Cheng Qian's bones are with you, and when he is ruthless, he doesn't even care about himself, and the concubine sees that Su is a gentle character, and she just happens to neutralize Cheng Qian. Didn't Zhang Yun say that? Cheng Qian and Su had a good chat. ”
Li Shimin nodded, since the prince likes the Su family very much, it is not in vain for him and the queen to work hard.
"Since Chengqian Qingque's marriage has been decided, you can tell Concubine Yang and let him choose a concubine for Li Ke. I plan to marry Changle to the eldest grandson Chong, what do you think? ”
The eldest grandson's eyes widened: "Do you want to give Changle a marriage to Chong'er?" This is not appropriate, they are aunts and cousins, isn't this bad morality? ”
Li Shimin said helplessly: "There are not a few folk cousins who marry cousins, besides, someone accused Wuji of rebellion before, and he was trembling during this time. With Wuji's merits, the ordinary princess humiliates him, and only Changle is suitable. Didn't Chong'er also say that he likes Changle very much? ”
If persuasion doesn't work once, the eldest grandson can only shut up. He knew what decision his emperor and husband made, and he would implement it directly. As for Wei Zheng and the others, even if they were dissuaded, he would not feel that he had done something wrong.
In desperation, she could only hope that her brother would not faint and trap the two children.
Just when the eldest grandson had mixed feelings, a palace maid entered the palace to report: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of Wei ask to see you." ”
After the case, Li Shimin smiled and hid the information of the Baiqi Division before allowing them to come in.
The door of the hall opened, and Li Tai and Li Chengqian did not enter one after the other, but entered side by side.
Seeing this scene, the eldest grandson and Li Shimin glanced at each other and smiled.
"The sons and daughters greet the father and the queen mother."
"Get up."
After straightening his waist, Li Tai approached the eldest grandson with a hippie smile, and Li Chengqian walked next to Li Shimin.
Picking up a piece of paper on the desk, after unfolding it, Li Shimin asked with a smile: "You came just in time, Liaodong Zhang Jian asked the imperial court to approve the cement over there, and he is going to build a city on the border, what do you think?" To be bold, I just want to know what you think. ”
Build a city in Liaodong? Presumably beware of Goryeo.
(In the old Tang Dynasty book, Fang Xuanling called Goguryeo "Goryeo")
Thinking back to the environment of the three eastern provinces, Li Chengqian was puzzled: "Father, the sons and daughters have heard Li Jing and them say that the land of Liaodong is more bitter and cold than the Central Plains, although the construction of the city is conducive to guarding against Kumoxi, Khitan and Goryeo, but it must not be a fortification like the Great Wall, so won't it also hinder our expansion?" Of course, if it was a military city, Erchen still agreed.
The bastards of Goryeo have been coveting our land for more than a day or two, and judging from their movements in the Eastern Turkic War, they will invade as long as they have the opportunity. As for the groveling words in the national letter, the sons never believed it. ”
Li Shimin laughed: "Well said, Cheng Qian, you have to remember that you should never believe the enemy, even if his words are extremely sincere." Although Goryeo was the fuse for the collapse of the Sui Dynasty, we in the Tang Dynasty can't be afraid of it, and we still have to do it when it's time to do it. ”
On the other hand, when the emperor and crown prince began to discuss state affairs, Li Tai consciously avoided it. Maybe he also fantasized about replacing his eldest brother and inheriting this huge empire, but when he thought of the consequences of doing so, he still decided to be his own prince honestly.
Since you don't want to fight for anything, you have to avoid it when you should avoid it.
Li Shimin, who was talking to Li Chengqian about the situation in Goryeo, naturally noticed Li Tai's reaction. In his opinion, perhaps, the affairs of his sons can be relieved. Although he didn't know how the prince got along with Qingque Li Ke, he could still see that these two children didn't have the slightest idea of fighting for power now.
That's fine, as long as the old things that Yang Yong built don't happen to his children, God will bless him.
"Cheng Qian, I plan to marry Changle to Changsun Chong, what do you think?"
Li Chengqian was puzzled: "Why did you think of putting them together?" Changsun Chong said that he hated Changle the most. Besides, when it comes to marriage, you have to ask Yuan Tiangang. ”
"Is that really what Eldest Sun Chong said?"
Li Chengqian nodded seriously, in the academy, in his vice president's office, Changsun Chong swore an oath and cursed. However, because of this oath, he also succeeded in turning his score into a perfect score. The old gentlemen of the academy criticized him verbally and penally, and he still lost the results he got for the eldest grandson Chong with a lot of spittle.
Li Shimin was a little helpless, but thinking about the eldest grandson Wuji, he still ordered Huangmen to pass on Yuan Tiangang and let him do the math. If Yuan Tiangang thinks it is appropriate, then it will be decided.
Looking at the eunuch who left, Li Chengqian breathed a sigh of relief.
After coming out of the Su family yesterday, he took people to Laojunguan, people like Yuan Tiangang should know what to say, otherwise, it will not only be his beard that will be broken.
It didn't take long for Yuan Tiangang to come over.
After saluting, Li Shimin noticed Yuan Tiangang's shortened beard, and couldn't help asking, "Daoist Yuan, where is your beard?" ”
Recalling the prince's neat sword, Yuan Tiangang was still frightened, and he didn't even dare to look at the prince beside the emperor, so he could only bow down and say: "Back to Your Majesty, when Lao Dao was doing things, his beard was burned by paper money, so he could only cut off some of it." ”
Li Shimin nodded, although the Confucian idea is that the body is the parent of the skin, and it cannot be destroyed. But Yuan Tiangang is a Taoist priest, so there is no need to care about him.
"I called you here today to let you calculate the marriage between Princess Changle and Zhao Guogong's eldest son, Changsun Chong, this is their birthday, you can take it and take a look."
The royal pen dragon flew and the phoenix danced, and the birthdays of the two people were written on the paper.
Li Chengqian took the paper, pushed away Li Jian who came over, and personally delivered the paper to Yuan Tiangang's hand.
Seeing that the prince seemed to be smiling, Yuan Tiangang's back immediately became wet.
He took the paper with both hands, pinched his fingers and counted for a long time before he frowned and said: "Back to Your Majesty, Princess Changle and the eldest son of Zhao Guogong do not agree, and if they are forcibly combined, I am afraid that a catastrophe will come!" ”
After speaking, Yuan Tiangang glanced at the prince, and when he saw the prince nodding, he breathed a sigh of relief. I couldn't help but secretly scold the emperor for being a bastard, and in order to win over the ministers, he even cheated his own daughter-in-law. If it weren't for this, why would the prince come to the door. He can follow the emperor's wishes, but he also has to take into account the prince's revenge. Opposing the emperor may only be a reprimand, but disobeying the meaning of this prince....
Thinking of the feeling of the sword blade sliding on his neck, Yuan Tiangang couldn't help but shudder again. He believed that the prince would definitely kill himself, not a joke.
Hearing Yuan Tiangang's answer, Li Shimin couldn't help frowning.
He has heard of Yuan Tiangang's ability, but he is only skeptical. This guy is used to talking about people when he sees people, and when he asks him questions in the past, he always follows the meaning, why is it so abnormal today?
Noticing Yuan Tiangang's gradually wet robe, he was slightly angry. It seems that this bastard still knows the majesty of the emperor.
"Since Daoist Yuan thinks it's not suitable, then forget it, you go down!"
Waving his hand to drive Yuan Tiangang away, Li Shimin became worried. The princess and the women are not like the common people, if the daughters of the commoner families do not agree with the husband's family, they will change it, and the women and the princess can't be like this.
Seeing that the emperor's father gave up the pit Changle, Li Chengqian couldn't help but say: "Father, Changle can't do it, just Yuzhang, although Yuzhang is not from the queen mother, but the adopted daughter of the queen mother, the status is not bad, what do you think?" ”
After saying this, Li Chengqian could only say a word to Tang Shanzhi in his heart. wanted to take Changle out of the fire pit, but he had to push Yuzhang to Changsun Chong. In this way, Changsun Chong and Yuzhang have no blood entanglement, which is in line with the marriage law. Well, the marriage law of the afterlife.
Hearing Li Chengqian's suggestion, Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and then looked to the other side to ask for the opinion of the eldest grandson.
The eldest grandson nodded from afar: "The concubine also thinks it's okay, just Yuzhang, it's a big deal, the dowry is a little bigger." ”
"Okay, then, let's Yu Zhang, come on, draft the will...."
After completing his purpose today, Li Chengqian breathed a sigh of relief.
God knows what kind of expression he had on his face when he heard the news from the Alliance of the Despicable yesterday. Although the eldest grandson Wuji is worthy of him Li Shimin, it is too much to exchange his own concubine for trust. Didn't this bastard think that this was pushing his daughter into the fire pit?
With a belly slander, Li Chengqian glanced at Li Tai, and Li Tai immediately became tired of his eldest grandson, and got up to say goodbye.
The two brothers walked out of the Liangyi Hall side by side, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother Huang, why do you have to pull me in for such a dangerous thing? What if Yuan Tiangang is not afraid of threats and denounces you? ”
After breathing a sigh of relief, seeing that there was no one left and right, Li Chengqian said: "Aren't you just afraid that your father and emperor will be anxious, you can deal with our father and mother the most, pull you up, lest I be beaten!" ”
"There won't be any problems on the eldest grandson Chong's side."
"There must be no problem, this kid has sworn poisonously, and he will never tell others, tsk, it seems that the family law of the eldest grandson family is very terrifying, this guy would rather swear poison and make up his score into a full score."
The brothers left the Liangyi Hall side by side, and they did not separate until the Chengtian Gate. Now although Li Tai of the East Palace can still enter, he can't stay for a long time. Ash Naxue and Xiuxiu both moved in, Xiuxiu did not have the identity of a concubine, so she could only live with the palace maid, and Ash Naxue was arranged by Li Chengqian to Yichun Palace, where there is a North Garden, although there is no governance, it is a bit desolate, but it is still okay to ride a horse and shoot arrows there.
When he returned to the East Palace, he saw Liao Zhong, Li Dahai was not qualified to enter the palace to ask for a meeting, so he was the one who sent the news.
"Already made a profit of 10,000 yuan? So fast? ”
Liao Zhong said with a smile: "Li Dahai said that those who came to buy coal were afraid that we would suddenly increase the price, and some people even asked for two years at a time. Your Highness, the profit of the farm this year is also about to be calculated, will this money be sent to the East Palace, or to the academy? ”
After thinking for a while, Li Chengqian said: "Send it to the academy, although the printing shop is profitable, it is still not enough to support the next round of expansion of the academy." You find a reliable person among the eunuchs and be in charge of the books of the academy. ”
"Your Highness, Geng Buqu asked the old slave to ask you, what follow-up instructions do you have for the secret guard?"
"No, you go back and tell him, when you are old, don't look for death all day long, and ask him to leave the palace alone, just to establish an intelligence network, what is the matter with thinking about loyalty to death all day long?"
Liao Zhong suddenly smiled: "Okay, my prince, don't say that Lao Geng is an old slave, and he will never frown if he dies for you." Now the palace maids and eunuchs who have been kicked out of the palace have a way to live, and there is no longer a death of cold and starvation. In fact, we just hope that there will be a burial place in the future, so that we will not be thrown into mass graves. Who knows, you have a good heart, we can not only have a place to shelter, but also live a good life that ordinary people are hot eyes. Tell me, do we dare not repay with death? ”
"Alright, okay, don't talk about these useless things. You go out of the palace and tell Geng Buqu that Lone has no one to fight to the death now, and he doesn't need to learn from Jing Ke, he can train a team of dead soldiers for Lone, and Lone is already very grateful to him. When he finds someone he can entrust, he will go back to the farm to care for the elderly, it's not good! ”
Liao Zhong nodded, recorded all the prince's instructions on paper, and left.
Before Liao Zhong left, Xiuxiu brought a pot of hot tea, as if she had something to say.
After taking a sip of tea, Li Chengqian frowned and said, "If you have something to say, what are you doing to hide it?" ”
Xiuxiu worked hard for a long time before she opened her mouth and said, "Your Highness, if you dislike the slave and maid in the future, let the slave and maid also go to the farm, okay?" There was a lady surnamed Wang who was very kind to the slave maid, and the slave maid wanted to help her die. ”
Li Chengqian sighed, although the Alliance of the Despicable is a tumor-like existence, but there are also pitiful places for hateful people! If they didn't have themselves, that's probably how they spent their lives. When he was young, he gave more favors, and when he was old, he counted on the juniors who were still in the palace to help him live.
"What do you think, you will be Lone's wife, your status is low, and the position of the side concubine is Lonely, but I can't seal it, but it's not to the point of throwing you out. Wait a little longer, when the Su family comes to the East Palace, you will be able to get rid of the identity of the palace maid. ”
Xiuxiu blushed a little when she said this, covered her face and ran out.
Li Chengqian smiled and sat on the chair, but he was still nostalgic for the Su family.
Well, how can I say that I am also my eldest wife, are you looking for a chance to meet again? According to the information sent by Geng Buqu, the Hundred Cavalry Division must know what he did, and if the Hundred Cavalry Division knows, the emperor also knows. Since the emperor's father is not angry, isn't it, hehe....
Li Chengqian, who was immersed in the dream of his first love, did not know that Wang Ying had arrived in Yongzhou.
Although the emperor gave an order to embarrass Wang Ying along the road, Wang Ying is not a fool, one state and two states are just like this, why is the state like this?
In desperation, he could only abandon the main road and rush over from the small road.
When I arrived in Yongzhou, I learned that my reputation was deteriorating rapidly.
After listening to the old servant's description, Wang Ying trembled and said to her son Wang Jian: "Jian'er, you are young and can still run, now you will ride back to Chang'an overnight, our coal is gone, send it!" Whether it is a noble or an ordinary person, send it! The reputation of the family cannot be ruined in our hands! ”
Seeing his father's tears, Wang Jian, who had not been able to close his eyes these days, could only fight his spirit and rode to Chang'an.
But when Wang Ying arrived in Chang'an, she was told by her eldest son, who knelt on the ground, that no one wanted his own coal, even a beggar on the street corner.
"It's over! It's over!! Prince! The old man and you are incompatible!! ”
Things have come to this point, Wang Ying can no longer find the mastermind behind the scenes, so she has been the head of the family for so many years.
What a coincidence! What a coincidence! Why has the news that the mine opened by the prince in Xiazhou is a coal mine has not been leaked? Where did the prince hide the coal? Why are the prince's shops located next to the Wang's house? Why did the prince have to wait for them to be sold before they started to sell?
It's all a fucking conspiracy!
"This is the head of the Wang family? Hmph, also an old thief! ”
"Be careful, don't be heard by him, don't you know that the Wang family is black-hearted? Beware of revenge! ”
"Hmph, Lao Tzu, a law-abiding people, will be afraid of him? Second stunned, you confiscate the coal sent by the Wang family! ”
"Oh, Lao Tzu is frozen to death, and he will not be affected by the stolen coal, let's go, let's go, hurry up and find some dry firewood for the family to burn."
Looking at the people who had passed through the city gate, they all pointed at him loudly, and Wang Ying only felt that countless Venus stars were flying in front of him.
Wang Jian looked at his father worriedly, and was about to go up to persuade him, but he couldn't help but a man squatting in the corner laughed loudly, and then said to a few people who had diverted their attention: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked me, how are you feeling?" Next time, if you have a long memory, Bert Niang is doing some shady things behind her back, how can you get involved in the gains and losses of the prince's position? ”
After saying that, the man laughed and left.
Wang Ying, who was about to faint, remembered her original order. It seems like.... I did tell my family to spread rumors about the crown prince, so that he could be dragged off the throne of the prince....
Wang Ying opened her mouth and smiled, Wang Jian was about to hold her father, but she was sprayed with a mouthful of old blood.
"Daddy!"
Wang Jian screamed miserably, and the team, which had already been exhausted, had to panic again.
