Chapter 25: The Marriage Contract is Annuled
Without waiting for the two couples to speak, Li Yuan said again: "I have always heard that the queen suffers from qi disease, so I transplanted the orange and red tree from Huazhou to the medical school.
And...... Lizhi is not just your daughter, she is my granddaughter. Is it useless to speak now, or are you ignoring this old man more and more? ”
When he said the last sentence, the Emperor's tone was much tougher.
It is said that the life of the parents and the words of the matchmaker.
But don't you ask your elders what they think?
Princess Changle is the granddaughter of the Emperor Taishang, and the Emperor Taishang is the most noble person in the Tang Dynasty, his opinion is very important, but unfortunately Li Shimin ignored it.
But now Li Yuan wants to get it back.
It is said that people are immortal when they are old and do not die, and in the clan, even if the patriarch is powerful, he has to ask the opinion of the oldest person in the clan, which is filial piety.
Now Li Lizhen's marriage is not only a matter of heaven, but also a matter of Li Tang's royal family.
As long as the Emperor Taishang insists on his own opinion and abolishes the marriage between Li Lizhen and the eldest grandson Chong, Li Shimin can only listen obediently, even if he is dissatisfied in his heart, he has to bear it.
However, the ideal is plump, and the reality is skinny.
The Emperor Taishang will not let the weak relationship between him and Li Shimin break again for the sake of Li Liqing's marriage. Li Shimin will not listen to the words of the emperor's family, so as to abolish the marriage.
Filial piety? I'm sorry, but it was torn apart when I was in Xuanwu Gate.
Therefore, Li Yuancai secretly led Changsun Chong to the abyss step by step with Wu Jue, but to his surprise, Li Lizhen at this moment did not want to marry Changsun Chong.
However, politics is politics, and Li Shimin will not tear up the marriage contract with the eldest grandson for the sake of his daughter's happiness. In history, Princess Chengyang (the second daughter) is a family of several Yi husbands, and Princess Chengyang is depressed.
"Father, why do you say this, your sons will naturally listen to you, but ...... After all, Zhao Guogong is the pillar of the country, and the minister of the son's son, rashly abolishing the marriage contract may cause him to be dissatisfied, and let alone Guanyin's maid......" Li Shimin looked helplessly at the eldest grandson Wujian on the side.
If the Emperor Taishang said that the marriage would be abolished before the first thing happened, Li Shimin would have listened to it for fun. And now it's different, on the one hand, the eldest grandson Chong is really unsatisfactory, not an ideal husband, and on the other hand, he is beautiful and suspliced, and he has a qi disease because of the marriage contract, and finally adds the last thatch of the emperor.
Even a stubborn camel can be crushed.
But the marriage contract can be dissolved, but how to deal with a series of consequences?
The eldest grandson's unsullied face seemed to be dyed with a layer of white frost, miserable and white, and he reluctantly smiled and said: "Your Majesty said that you are laughing, how dare you interfere in state affairs with a concubine?" ”
"It's not a state affair, it's a family affair! You are the queen mother of Lizhi, what will you do? Li Shimin interrupted.
"Since Lizhi doesn't want to marry Chong'er, then she won't marry." The eldest grandson Wujian hesitated slightly, she was also reluctant to give up this marriage, Princess Shang This is a magic weapon to ensure the prosperity of the eldest grandson's family. However, she had her own plans, and re-spoke: "Lian'er is still young now, and for the sake of the kindness of the Heavenly Family, Chengyang Xu can be married to her......"
"No, no." Li Shimin shook his head resolutely, he didn't dare to look directly at the gaze of the eldest grandson Wujian when he said this, and said in a low voice: "A few days ago, a certain person had a very happy conversation with Du Xiang in the political affairs hall, and he had already married Xiaochengyang to his son Du He. ”
The smile on the eldest grandson Wuji's face froze, Chengyang was only about half a year old, and he was promised to be married to Du Ruhui's family, and the daughters born to her were all marriage tools.
Since the two daughters in law couldn't count on it, she spoke again: "What about the princesses Gaoyang, Yuzhang, Dongyang, Pu'an, Qinghe, and Jin'an?" ”
"Ahem...... Li Shimin coughed dryly and said with a wry smile: "Gao Yang Xu was married to Fang Xiang's son, Yuzhang may be married to Tang Jian's son, Dongyang Xu was married to Gao Xiang (Gao Shilian)'s son, Pu'an was Shi Danai's son, and Qinghe was Cheng Jin's daughter-in-law......
The other princesses have married people, so I can't help it, I can't rob them of a daughter-in-law, or ...... Queen, do you have another one? ”
He can't help it, the princess is still too little, otherwise if you stuff one of the twenty-four heroes, it will be a grand slam.
Listening to it, the eldest grandson Wujian has a feeling of wanting to commit suicide, she just gave birth to Huang Zizhi last year, and she gave birth to Xiaochengyang this year, no matter how powerful she is, she can't afford to have a child like this......
"Actually...... It's not that there are no solutions. Li Yuan reminded softly, he took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and added orange red to chew mints, "If you want to envelop the eldest grandson Wuji, you may have to marry a princess, marrying a daughter-in-law is still possible, just stuff a princess for the prince." ”
Hearing this, Li Shimin nodded in agreement, marrying a princess is just an attitude, so marrying a daughter-in-law for the prince is also an attitude.
But who is it for?
The crown princess of the crown prince Li Chengqian, he has already set the daughter of the secretary Cheng Suqian, if it is not the crown princess, he is too wronged by the daughter of the eldest grandson's family, and he can't become a concubine.
Seem...... There is only Li Tai, the king of Wei, who originally wanted to arrange for Li Tai to be the daughter of Yan Lide, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, but now that he thinks about it, it is still suitable for the eldest grandson's family.
After figuring it out, Li Shimin's face turned straight and said to the old eunuch Wang Zhen: "Proposed edict, Sun Chong, the eldest son of Zhao Guogong, has a reckless temperament and is romantic...... is really not a good match for Princess Changle, declare my will, and the marriage contract between the two is annulled. ”
As he was talking, he asked Wang Zhen to take another edict and said: "The eldest son of the princess of Zhao Guo, Sun Shirui, has a sensitive temperament, a supple appearance, and a good speech, but she can be the fourth son of the emperor, Princess Li Tai of Wei, and she will hold a wedding ceremony on a certain day......"
When Emperor Taishang looked at the edict stamped with the emperor's seal, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The royal princess was basically promised to various important ministers of the imperial court, and he had heard of this for a long time. And once the marriage contract between Li Lizhen and the eldest grandson Chong is dissolved, because of the eldest grandson Wuji and the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Shimin will definitely have compensation, and when the princess is promised to be married, then there is only a princess for the prince.
There is already a crown princess in the East Palace, and it seems unrealistic to marry other princes, so there is only one choice for the fourth son of the emperor, Li Tai.
It seems like a good thing.
But...... What would Li Chengqian think? will only get deeper and deeper with the eldest grandson Wuji.
The weight of Li Tai, the king of Wei, has unconsciously increased again, and if he wants to have a more stable position, the crown prince Chengqian will gradually get closer to him as the imperial grandfather unconsciously.
Although it was a little despicable, it was better to push Li Chengqian to the eldest grandson Wuji.
......
In the Zhao Guogong Mansion, it is another scene.
The eldest grandson Chong was naked, his fair and thin upper body was full of whip marks, he knelt on the ground with tears in his eyes, and kept pleading with the eldest grandson Wuji.
But at this moment, eunuchs and palace maids from the palace rushed in.
"Zhao Guogong took the order." Wang Zhen, the angel representing the emperor, opened the edict, read Li Shimin's will in a straight voice, and then handed the yellow scroll to the eldest grandson Wuji.
The eldest grandson Wuji's face was cloudy, and after receiving the holy decree, he pulled Wang Zhen and asked in a low voice, "What does the queen say?" Could it be that the queen also means this? ”
The old eunuch Wang Zhen took a closer look at the eldest grandson Wuji, pinched his throat and said: "Zhao Guogong asked the miscellaneous family, and the miscellaneous family naturally wanted to say it, and this is not a secret. Just tonight, Princess Changle almost committed suicide, and even suffered from qi disease, if it weren't for the emperor's wonderful hand to rejuvenate, I'm afraid the princess would ......"
Speaking of this, he smiled and said, "Zhao Guogong should be happy that the daughter of the Ling Mansion has become the princess of Wei." ”
