On March 18, the 17th year of Zhenguan, Taizong ordered the eldest princess to play with An, and set up Taiyuan Wang as the princess of Jin.

Fun inside and out.

However, there were some slight secrets, and the king of Daojin heard that he would accept the daughter of the Taiyuan Wang family as his concubine, but because he did not like to be forced by the eldest princess of Tong'an, and he also had a princess candidate in his mind, he did not accept the decree, and even knelt in front of the queen of the palace and cried.

There is also a humane Taizong who was angry that the king of Jin suddenly disobeyed him, so he was grounded in the palace until the day of the crown ceremony.

The rumors were about to start, and they were destroyed by Wang De, the inner chamberlain, and De'an, the close servant of the King of Jin, and said:

"The King of Jin is known for his benevolence and filial piety inside and outside, where is he as disobedient as the abolished prince and the abolished King of Qi?

King Jin was close to the Lizheng Palace, but because he was sad about the prince's matter a few days ago, he couldn't leave the bed due to a sudden wind illness.

And because the medicine king Sun Simiao had a word not to move arbitrarily, the lord gave a decree above him, and the king of Jin temporarily lived in the palace. ”

When everyone heard this, Fang Jue was not telling the rumors, so he fell silent.

……

It's night.

In the Imperial Palace.

The young slave knelt in front of the spiritual throne of the eldest grandson queen and never looked up.

The bowl of medicinal milk in front of him was already cold, and a thin layer of milk skin was formed.

Dean looked at him helplessly, moved his lips, but didn't speak after all:

That's right, the rumors are true. When the young slave heard that Taizong had given him a marriage, he immediately resisted the decree and refused to accept it, and changed his weak temperament in the past, and actually quarreled with Taizong.

Taizong was furious, so he secretly issued an edict and punished him for being grounded in the Lizheng Palace and not allowed to go out.

You can not leave the temple until the day of the crown.

But the childish slave, who has always been docile, stubbornly replied to Taizong:

"If the father and the emperor do not allow the slave, then the matter of the daughter of the Wang family will be crowned, and the slave will not leave here!"

Resolutely, Taizong, who was so angry that he would restore his mood a little, was furious, and left a sentence, "Then you are here to reflect on your mother's spiritual position."

Go off in a huff.

Then, the young slave supported the sick body, and knelt down again in front of the queen's spirit.

The middle Taizong sent people to see it several times, and it was all like this, which really made Taizong helpless.

……

At the same time.

In the Tai Chi Temple.

Taizong looked at Song Shu in a slightly good mood, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Wang De had received the news of Ming'an who went to visit the Lizheng Palace, turned around, and said:

"That silly boy, where are you still kneeling?"

"Lord, the old slave risked his life today to say that this is not you, Lord:

You...... You can't play with that kid like that!

If...... What if there is another good one! Wang De said dissatisfied.

Taizong raised his eyebrows: "Who said I played with him?"

You don't joke, let him marry, he must marry! ”

Wang De was stunned, and then he was even more dissatisfied:

"But Lord, you didn't agree to the matter of the eldest princess with An before......"

"It was before, and now it is now. But whatever is good for this child, I will now bring it for him. Got it? ”

Taizong looked at Wang De meaningfully.

Wang De seemed to have an understanding: "It turns out that the master is ......" and laughed and said: "Is it an old slave, no, the old slave is ignorant, after all, it is not as big as the master's mind!"

Just ......"

He was worried again: "It's just that in this way, I'm afraid that the prince of Jin will have to suffer some grievances." ”

"Go and persuade him, then. He had to understand that this marriage was not a bad thing for him. Also, if necessary, call the flower words and persuade them together. ”

Taizong glanced lightly at the four gods standing next to the golden steps, Wang De nodded knowingly, and waited for Ming'an. Exit the Taiji Hall and head to the Lizheng Hall.

A moment later.

Inside the Rizheng Palace.

As soon as Wang Dehe was ill due to illness and had not been in the Shang Palace for a long time, he attracted the immature slave to throw himself into the arms of the flower aunt who had brought him up since childhood, and wept sadly about the recent events.

At the beginning, Hua Yan and Wang De comforted each other. However, when it came to the matter of accepting a concubine, Hua Yan sighed:

"Lord Wang, you are not like this."

The young slave was stunned, and then said sadly:

"Aunt Hua, even you want the slave to marry the daughter of the Wang family who doesn't know whether it is round or flat, do you want the slave to be unhappy in her life?

Aunt Flower...... When the queen mother ordered the young slave to marry only the person she loved, you were also on the side! ”

Wang De looked left and right, De'an understood, cleared out the rest of the people, and guarded the palace gate by himself.

Wang De then said: "Lord Wang, to say something selfish, the old slave knows the virtues of the Wang family better than anyone else, and he knows the lord's attitude towards the eldest princess better than anyone else. ”

When Hua Yan heard this, he remembered what he had heard in Zhuojun in the past, and he was speechless in his heart.

The young slave didn't know what happened back then, and among the people who knew it, Queen Taimu, the king of Chu Zhiquan, and the eldest grandson Wuji served the boy Sujian died early, and Taizong served the sword and was rewarded by Taizong, and now he has returned to his hometown to take care of his old mother.

And Taizong, Empress Changsun, and Uncle Changsun Wuji, brothers and sisters, couldn't bear Wang De's heartache for many years, so they didn't mention it.

For a long time, the young slave just thought that Wang De was full of resentment when he mentioned the eldest princess of Tong'an and the Wang family, all because of the eldest princess of Tong'an who repeatedly suppressed Taizong.

But now he suddenly realized that Wang De's resentment against the eldest princess of Tong'an and the Wang family seems to be not short and extraordinary.

I had a question in my heart, but I didn't ask. Just quietly listened to Wang Dedao:

"Lord Wang, to tell you the truth, whether it is the old slave or your Aunt Hua, you really look down on the Wang family, and you don't think she is worthy of you......

But, my lord, now, you must marry her - don't worry, let the old slave finish. ”

Wang De stopped the childish slave who was about to speak angrily, and said softly:

"Lord, you must marry her—if you don't marry her, think about it, how can the Lord be angry with you?

Before that, you went to great lengths to invite the queen to save the life of His Royal Highness the Prince...... Maybe it will be used by those who are anxious to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince die......

In the end, His Royal Highness the Prince's life, I'm afraid I can't save it again! ”

The young slave woke up a little by him, and he felt a cold sweat break out: Indeed, if the Guanlong ministers in the court who supported him and helped him save his eldest brother's life this time heard that he refused the marriage of the Taiyuan Wang family......

I'm afraid that something will happen. And the splendid temple......

He didn't dare to think about it anymore, and there was a slight remorse in his heart.

can think of Mei Niang, and her complexion has changed again.

Wang De saw that his face changed again, so he looked at the flowers and left a sentence for himself: "Think twice, the prince." And he withdrew to the outside of the temple.

Hua Yan watched him leave, and then shook the hand of the childish slave and said:

"Lord, you just said that Aunt Hua forgot the queen's will...... The prince was wrong, and Aunt Hua never forgot it.

It is precisely because he has never forgotten that he asked the prince to follow the decree and make the Nana Wang family a concubine-

Lord Wang, Aunt Hua heard that you have made it clear to the Lord that your heart belongs...... The prince should understand that Aunt Hua is not like the prince and the lord, but she knows who this girl is.

It is precisely because I know who she is, so I persuaded the prince: If the real prince has true feelings for her, he should agree to Nana Wang as a concubine-

Lord Wang, don't forget, at this moment, that girl is in a predicament, and life and death are unpredictable.

Her only chance or hope now is in the marriage of the prince-

Lord, with the Lord's love for you, as long as you are willing to agree to this marriage, then the world's amnesty is inevitable - because the Lord also hopes that there will be a reason for your eldest brother to survive this catastrophe in peace, and to be able to live his life not so far away from Chang'an.

Rajah...... This marriage can save His Royal Highness the Prince. You say, how can you not solve that girl's predicament?

Can you watch her get involved and die in prison?

Or is it the wisdom of the Lord to forgive her for her mistakes...... But the water in the court is cold and wet...... Lord Wang, Aunt Hua remembers that Old Fairy Sun said that it would be a big bad thing for that girl to leave the nourishing things of the two flavors?

The prince can calculate, how long has she been away from the cold palace and into the court, and she has no nourishing things? How many more days will she last? ”

The young slave collapsed to the ground, burst into tears, and struggled for a while:

"But...... But in this way, the young slave ...... I could no longer stay with her......

That Wang's ...... Wang's ...... The young slave really doesn't like her......"

"Lord, the concubine's room can be accepted, and it can be abolished." Hua Yan wiped her tears in distress:

"If the prince can't bear it, then he will only serve her with good food and clothing. Others won't say anything about you - with that Wang Renyou's position, his daughter can be a concubine, and she is already the lord's favorite. Let alone...... What's more, in the future, you will still be the person who is the crown prince. ”

The young slave was startled and pushed the flower:

"Aunt Hua, what are you talking about......"

"The prince is really so swayed by his own feelings that he can't see the current situation clearly: His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been abolished, and King Wu can't be the prince in the first place, and because there are rumors in the palace that the prince's affairs are done by his mother, the ministers will not serve him - as for the lord, the lord will not move the prince to him more than anyone else.

Among the remaining princes, the two kings of Jiang Shu are incompetent, the king of Qi will die, and the king of Yue is not from the main palace and has no meritorious deeds, so there is only Su Xingren and filial piety, this time to protect the life of the prince, you who have been recognized by the ministers; and your brilliant and favored Lord Wei.

Lord Wang, Aunt Ronghua said the truth of speculation: the Lord has the heart to establish the Lord of Wei. But in the end, he could not stand and would not stand.

When your children grow older, everyone will see their own behavior. Although this Wei Wang Ye is very smart, he has committed two major taboos in the Lord's life. And what's even worse is that there are not as many people who support him as many people who support him as many people as your third brother Wu Wang Li Ke......

Therefore, the lord wants to set him up, and no matter how good he is, he will not be able to win the hearts of all the ministers in the world.

Moreover, if he is the prince, he will definitely kill your third brother - prince, you should know the mind of the lord, although you will not make the king of Wu the prince, but you also love him very much and cannot bear him to die.

Therefore for the safety of all of you, the Lord will surely make you a reserve.

Lord, don't say you don't want to, don't say you don't want it - you can't want it and can't want it.

Because...... If you want to fulfill the last wish of the queen and stay with your beloved, then you must hold a lot of power. Because the woman you love ......"

Hua Yan paused slightly, looked at the eyes of the childish slave, and sighed:

"Lord, only after you have great power in your hands, can you keep her safe for the rest of your life, and even stay with her for a long time, as she made to the Lord in the New Year, and treat her with a wife - it is not a difficult thing.

Lord Wang, Aunt Hua is all she says, think about it!

There is only one way, no matter what, you must respond to this marriage, listen to the persuasion of your aunt and the princess! Don't grieve your father again, and keep that girl safe......

You just left the Wang family aside on the night of your wedding, and you have to marry her after all. ”

……

Hua Yan and Wang De, after leaving for a long time.

The young slave who was slumped on the ground suddenly burst out with a heart-wrenching cry......

The voice of despair echoed in the Lizheng Hall for a long time, making people unbearable to hear.

De'an, who was standing on the side, finally couldn't help it and burst into tears.

……

March 19, 17th year of Zhenguan.

Sleepless all night, looking haggard like a child slave who was seriously ill, with the support of De'an, he reluctantly went to the Taiji Palace, and said:

"The sons should accept the Wang family as concubines, but for the sake of the queen mother, please ask the father and the emperor to give amnesty to the world when the sons and daughters are not crowned."

After speaking, he only knelt on the ground in silence, refusing to look up at Taizong.

Therefore, naturally I have never seen the tears and heartache in the eyes of Taizong, who is high up and has a flat and satisfied voice.

……

Three days later.

March 21, 17th year of Zhenguan.

The ninth son of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, the king of Jin by the eldest grandson queen, was crowned and dressed, and was passed on to the world in the name of Li Zhi.

Taizong Dayue, even gave the world amnesty, and gave the daughter of the Taiyuan Wang family as the concubine of Li Zhi, the king of Jin, and was specially allowed to marry in the palace in the political hall.

However, Li Zhili admonished that the Taoist Palace was the former residence of the queen, and it was not appropriate to enter here.

Taizong accepted it, and then gave a decree to make a great gift in the Wude Palace.

When Li Zhi heard this, he was worried about Li Yuanji and Taizong's desire to give this palace to the residence of the King of Wei.

Emperor Taizong inspected it, and then changed it in the sleep, and the westernmost Chengqing Hall was the place of great gifts.

Li Zhi was finally ordered.

Taizong issued a decree, and Taishi reported that the fourth day of the next month was an auspicious day, and it was appropriate to have a big wedding. Taizong is accurate.

Li Zhinai thanked and did not mention it.

……

It's night.

Wu Zhao, a talented person in the prison, finally found out that the prince had nothing to do with it, so he had to return to Yanjia Hall and be grounded, and only after the truth was found out.

It's night.

Li Zhi, the king of Jin, quietly went to the door of Yanjia Palace, but saw that the door of the court was deeply locked, knocked, and the old servant Ruian responded in the court, and according to the order of the new master Wu Zhao, he asked Li Zhi to return to the Ganlu Palace, and he should not come here for a night visit in the future.

Li Zhi was in pain and wanted to die, and lingered in the Yanjia Palace** for a long time, and when he entered the court, he quietly turned around and left with a broken heart.

……

The next morning, Li You, the rebel son of the Tai Dynasty, had returned to Chang'an on the night of March 15 and was executed.

The reverse prince Chengqian temporarily imprisoned the mountain pool courtyard in the northwest corner of the main palace of Taiji Palace, only waiting for the eight ministers (the eldest grandson Wuji and the eight of them) to review the party, find out all kinds of crimes, and punish the rear of the party to issue an edict to be demoted to a concubine, and the family was exiled.

It is the position of the old country's reserve, and the ministers should discuss the establishment of a new prince.

As soon as this decree was transmitted, all the courts moved.
