Chapter 58: Resolved
Liu Yu ignored the issue of keeping filial piety. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
After the death of the honored relatives, before the completion of the service, live at home, cut off entertainment and communication, in order to show mourning, called "filial piety". The Han Dynasty attached great importance to the issue of filial piety, and usually there were no restrictions on entertaining, entertaining, drinking, etc. during the period of filial piety. Especially during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, in order to expand the power of the feudal kings, sometimes they would make a fuss about their personal behavior during the period of filial piety, and some feudal kings or nobles often could not resist the torture of monotonous life, and it was common for them to be impeached and punished, and to lose their thrones and titles.
"That is, to wait three years." Liu Yu understood.
"Yes." Huang Chong said.
"Isn't it just three years, I can afford to wait. Propose to your brother today, and wait for the expiration of Die'er's filial piety period before getting married. Liu Yu said resolutely.
Huang Chong was also very moved to see Liu Yu so resolute, and he was also very happy that his sister had found such a husband.
The two talked about some things again, and Liu Yu asked Huang Chong to go back.
In the Imperial Palace, Emperor Ling summoned several meritorious ministers. When I told them about my plan to find a daughter-in-law for Liu Yu, the ministers were silent.
Seeing that the ministers were not speaking, Emperor Ling also opened up and said. "You are all pillars of the imperial court, and you have worked hard. Wouldn't it be better for us to become our sons and daughters? ”
Ministers, you look at me, I look at you, but they don't speak. The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while. In fact, these ministers cannot be blamed. If it is to argue with the prince or marry the prince, these ministers will definitely rush to be the first, but now it is Bohou Liu Yu, this needs to be considered. Everyone knows that Liu Yu is not treated by Emperor Ling, and now the call for Liu Yu to be appointed as the prince is the highest in the court, and the general He Jin is also fully supportive. marrying Liu Yu at this time, isn't that just a clear statement against the general and Liu Wei, what if Liu Wei succeeds to the throne and settles accounts after the autumn after a day. Marriage is the best political investment, in this regard, Liu Wei and Liu Xie are high-quality stocks, Liu Yu is an inferior stock, and it is the kind that can be suspended at any time. Therefore, if the minister had known that such a thing had happened, he would definitely not have been able to come to the hospital.
Emperor Ling looked at the silent appearance of the ministers, and his heart was secretly angry. Those who can mix in the court, except for the generals, are all human spirits, and seeing that Emperor Ling is about to get angry, they are all thinking about how to deal with it.
"Your Majesty, the old minister is very willing to form a family with His Majesty, but I hate that there is no daughter to be married in the family." Said a minister.
Emperor Ling looked around at several ministers and asked. "How many other daughters are also unmarried daughters in the family?"
"Your Majesty, although the old minister has several daughters, he has already made a marriage contract with others." Another minister said.
"Your Majesty, the old minister is old, although he has a granddaughter, he has never made a marriage contract with others, but he is only six years old." Another minister said.
In this way, the ministers tried their best to say that they did not have a suitable daughter or granddaughter to be Liu Yu's daughter-in-law. After hearing this, Emperor Ling's face was full of black lines. Since they all said so, Emperor Ling was not reluctant, and waved his sleeves to let them all go back. So Emperor Ling summoned several more ministers, but it was still the same as the rhetoric of the previous batch of ministers. Emperor Ling was inevitably depressed, feeling that his face had been hurt, and he no longer summoned ministers, and he couldn't afford to lose that person.
After pondering for a while, Emperor Ling decided to go to Yong'an Palace to discuss with the Queen Mother.
Emperor Ling decided to call Liu Yu over and ask if there was a woman who liked him, if so, he just sent a decree himself, and these ministers would definitely not disobey the decree.
After Liu Yu received Emperor Ling's will, he also quickly came to the palace.
When Emperor Ling saw Liu Yu arrive, he also asked softly: "Bo Xuan, you also know that the Queen Mother is looking forward to your marriage, and I can't disobey the will of the Queen Mother." I want to ask you if you have someone you like, and if so, I can't do the thing of beating mandarin ducks with a stick, and it will fulfill you. If not, I'll help you choose one. "Emperor Ling will never say that he has summoned several ministers, and each minister is unwilling to marry his daughter to Liu Yu, this matter will rot in the stomach, so as not to hurt Liu Yu's self-esteem.
When Liu Yu heard this, he was also overjoyed. Originally, Liu Yu guessed on the way here whether Emperor Ling would arrange for him to marry the minister's daughter or granddaughter, but now he asked himself like this, Liu Yu knew that the matter was still inconclusive, although he didn't know what the reason was, but Liu Yu felt that this cheap father still took care of himself. If Emperor Ling knew what Liu Yu was thinking, it would be strange if he didn't slap it.
Liu Yu turned around in his mind, sorted out his language, and said: "Back to my father, I rejected the queen mother before the child, but I actually have a favorite person." It's just that the queen mother is afraid that her father will not be satisfied, so she repeatedly refused. ”
"It's a mess, how can the Queen Mother and I be dissatisfied. Tell me whose daughter it is. Emperor Ling said.
"This woman's name is Huang Die, and she is the daughter of a merchant." Liu Yu glanced at Emperor Ling's face.
"That's it? Do you think I and the Queen Mother will dislike this? Emperor Ling said.
"Isn't it?" Liu Yu was also a little unconvinced.
"Fool, don't look at the rotten notions out there. My Liu family's children have been in status since Gaozu and they don't take it very seriously. The Spirit Emperor said with hatred of iron.
When Liu Yu heard this, it seemed that this was the truth, since Han Gaozu, the descendants of the Liu family seemed to have no scruples in this regard. The royal family is very chaotic in terms of marriage, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's mother is a woman who remarried, and the very famous King Jing of Zhongshan is even more refusal. Not to mention that Emperor Ling's current queen is still the daughter of a butcher. So Liu Yu knew that he was thinking too much, and he was worried in vain.
"Father, this daughter is still in the period of filial piety." Liu Yu said another question.
"It's nothing, I made a holy decree to give marriage. Isn't there no more trouble? Emperor Ling said disapprerovingly.
Liu Yu felt that Emperor Ling seemed to wish he could get married soon. In fact, Emperor Ling also has a hard time, today he summoned several batches of ministers, and they have already told Liu Yu that he wants to find a daughter-in-law, if there is no result in the end, it is not equivalent to saying that Emperor Ling's son is not wanted, it is a very shameful thing. Although Emperor Ling could make a decree for the ministers to choose a candidate, the ministers were not very willing to do so before. Emperor Ling felt that since Liu Yu had a sweetheart, there was no need to be so troublesome. Emperor Ling felt that he was really wise and martial, a generation of Ming Jun.
No matter what, Liu Yu still accepted it happily. Now that the matter has been settled, Emperor Ling instructed Liu Yu to meet the Queen Mother and reply to the Queen Mother, so that he would be busy with state affairs. Liu Yu silently raised a middle finger to Emperor Ling in his heart, what state affairs are busy, and it is not to go to the Naked Tour Palace to deal with major matters.
Liu Yu arrived at Yong'an Palace and informed the Empress Dowager Dong of the decision of the father and son just now. Empress Dowager Dong knew that there was a result in the matter, but she didn't care about Huang Die's identity, and happily gave instructions, asking Liu Yu to take Huang Die to her as soon as possible, which made Liu Yu feel warm in her heart.
Liu Yu agreed without hesitation.
