Chapter 227: Yu Zhang's Request
Queen mother~! "Princess Yuzhang is holding the eldest grandson queen: + What kind of Wu drunken sword is going to marry, do you go and tell your father about it, queen mother?"
As soon as she returned from Wushu City, Princess Yuzhang knew the whole story, and her father intended to give her to Hou Junji's righteous son, Wu Zuijian.
"I'm not married, queen mother," Princess Yuzhang stared pitifully at the eyes of the eldest grandson, and now the only one who can help her is this queen mother who has always loved her very much.
"Wu Zuijian, a drunken man, if his son marries him, it is better to die."
Previously, when I got together with those literati in the 'Qingfeng Pavilion', some people sometimes said that this Wu drunken sword had a good martial arts, but he was a good wine-colored person, and every time he returned to Chang'an, he would linger in the land of wind and moon.
And this Princess Wu Zuijian Yuzhang has also seen it, tall, broad-shouldered, and speaks like Hou Junji, the secretary of the military department, with a loud voice and a rough voice, it is really better to let her live with such a person.
"Ru'er," Empress Changsun pulled Princess Yuzhang to sit down on a stone bench, patted her little hand, and said softly: "People are not romantic, how can they not be frivolous when they are young?" Greedy for wine, this is a small problem, and when you become relatives and get married in the future, you will settle down. ”
Seeing that Princess Yuzhang was still pouting, Empress Eldest Sun chuckled and said: "I think that Wu Zuijian, although he is a martial artist, he is also handsome, and he is the righteous son of the military department, so he is worthy of you, father and mother." How can I push you into the fire pit? ”
"But, the queen mother, the sons just don't want to marry!" Yu Zhang almost cried, looking at the appearance of the eldest grandson, it seemed that he didn't plan to help her, this. made Princess Yuzhang feel a barren heart for a while, and the queen mother, who had always loved her and loved her, didn't care about her.
"This matter, your father and the emperor have already decided, and the queen mother has a heart, but she is also powerless," Empress Changsun looked at Princess Yuzhang distressedly and said, "The marriage of children." I can't make my own decisions, even in ordinary people's homes, don't they all rely on the words of their parents? Ru'er, listen to the words of the queen mother, you just try to accept it, ah? ”
Empress Changsun touched Princess Yuzhang's cheek, wiped away the tears that had flowed on her face, and said ruthlessly: "At the end of this month, when Hou Junji leads the army back from Tuyuhun, your father will be in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military. Declare your marriage out. ”
"It just so happens that on the fifteenth day of next month, your sister Gao Yang is also going to marry the second son of the servant, according to your father's wishes, and let the marriage of your two sisters be handled on the same day. Now the Ministry of Rites is a local person. It's already been quietly preparing. Empress Changsun glanced at Princess Yuzhang and said, "So, Ru'er, listening to the words of the queen mother, since it is something that cannot be changed, try to accept it, otherwise, it will be bitter in the end." Or yourself. ”
As a princess of the Tang Dynasty, it is only a matter of time before she experiences such a thing.
Looking at Yuzhang at this moment, Empress Changsun couldn't help but think of her eldest daughter Changle. When I wanted her to marry into the eldest grandson's family, didn't I beg her like this?
That girl, until now, I'm afraid she still hates me, right? Even the last time she was critically ill, Changle didn't come to visit, alas! Empress Changsun couldn't help but shake her head and sighed, hoping that Yuzhang would not be like Changle in the future.
"The son wants to go to his father, the father loves the son so much, he won't let the son do what he doesn't want." Princess Yuzhang stood up suddenly, wiped away the tears that flowed from her face, and bent down to say goodbye to Empress Changsun.
"It's useless, you don't know your father's temper, once he decides something, it won't change again." Empress Changsun looked at Princess Yuzhang standing in front of her, and also stood up and whispered to her: "You went, just to make your father angry." Be good, listen to the queen mother, you should respond to this matter.
After all, the arm can't twist the thigh, what if Yu Zhang goes? Li Shimin's temperament, the eldest grandson, understands best, and he will never lose an opportunity to win over powerful ministers for the sake of a princess. This is politics, no matter how kind and tolerant Li Shimin is to his daughter on weekdays, and when it comes to some political disputes, he will become very cruel.
This point, how could Yu Zhang, who has been familiar with poetry and books since childhood, not understand, but she can't and doesn't want to accept it for a while.
On weekdays, I see so many sisters and sisters being married off by their father, and today, is it finally her turn?
"If it doesn't work, the queen mother, I will go and ask the prince's brother, the prince's brother has always loved me, and he will definitely have a way." Yu Zhang looked at Empress Eldest Sun fixedly and muttered.
"What did you say?!" Li Shimin listened to Li Chengqian's words and frowned
Picking it up, he looked at Li Chengqian and said, "Wu Zuijian is waiting from the side, and he used a horse in Sanyuan to break one of Liu Laoshi's right legs?" ”
How is this possible? Li Shimin tapped his hand on the table, as a general, he knew a soldier's ability to control horses, how could Wu Zuijian's horse step on Liu Yiyi's father's right leg?
Could it be that Wu Zuijian did it on purpose?
"Yes, father," Li Chengqian bowed and replied, "Erchen also just learned that Mr. Liu seemed to have hurried back from Jiangnan for this matter. ”
—
Wu Zuijian is nominally Li Chengqian's eldest brother, but he doesn't please Li Chengqian very much, otherwise Li Chengqian would not have entrusted this matter to Li Shimin for Liu Yiyi and Yu Zhang's words.
"Well," Li Shimin nodded lightly, no wonder Liu Yiyi would be willing to give up the 'Liu's Fat Workshop', did he want me to administer justice to him?
"How did that Qu Tugan judge this matter?" Li Shimin raised his head and asked Li Chengqian.
"Accidentally injured, Wu Zuijian was sentenced to pay thirty pieces of silver to Naliu Honestly." Li Chengqian glanced at Li Shimin and said, "I heard that Liu Honest's right leg, even Mr. Liu and Sun Daochang are helpless, and they are useless." ”
"So?" Li Shimin nodded lightly, Qu Tugan's judgment, although there is obvious bias, but it is normal. Otherwise, would you want Wu Zuijian to lose a leg?
In that case, when Hou Junji's old boy comes back, he can't turn Sanyuan upside down? For this temperamental subordinate, Li Shimin is also very helpless many times.
Moreover, Wu Zuijian is Yu Zhang's husband and cannot move.
Li Shimin quickly had a plan in his heart, he raised his head and instructed Li Chengqian: "Find a remote place, let Qu Tugan go through training for two years, and then find a new county for Sanyuan, well, let's do it tomorrow." ”
Take people's money and eliminate disasters with people, even if it is a little reward for Liu Yiyi's 'Liu's Fat Workshop'.
"Yes, Father." Li Chengqian glanced up at Li Shimin, Li Shimin's intention was obvious, to protect Wu to get drunk with the sword and abandon Qu Tu Zixu, is this considered to give Liu Yiyi an explanation?
Li Chengqian couldn't help but be a little disappointed in his heart, originally he was expecting Li Shimin to cure Wu Zuijian for the crime of deliberately hurting the people, and if he was too late, he would also be exempted from his future identity as a concubine. Marrying Yuzhang to Wu Zuijian, Li Chengqian was also extremely reluctant in his heart, in his opinion, that Wu Zuijian was by no means the best destination for her sister.
Li Chengqian bent down and withdrew from Li Shimin's study, and all the way to the Lizheng Hall where Empress Changsun was located.
In the hall, the eldest grandson queen is carefully teaching the little pheasant slave to read and learn characters, Li Chengqian swept his eyes, the little pheasant slave reads 'filial piety', and learns 'Liu's calligraphy'.
"The son visits the queen mother." Li Chengqian came to the side of Empress Changsun, bowed down and gave Empress Changsun a salute, then raised his head, took two steps forward, looked at Empress Changsun, and said softly: "Seeing that the queen mother's complexion has been better than before, and her body is much healthier, and her sons are relieved." ”
"Hehe, my son is filial piety, well, let's sit down on the side, here in the queen mother, don't be too restrained." Empress Eldest Sun turned her head to look at her eldest son, pulled him to sit down on the chair beside her, and said to him with a smile: "Speaking of which, Qian'er hasn't been here for a few days, but the official business has been too busy recently?" ”
"Empress Mother Mingjian," Li Chengqian sat down steadily, and said to Empress Eldest Sun: "I have been busy with the 'Liu's waterwheel' a while ago, and now I have to take care of the 'Liu's Fat Mill', I have no time to come to the mother to ask for peace, and I ask the queen mother to forgive me." ”
"'Liu's Fat Mill'?" Empress Eldest Sun glanced at Li Chengqian in surprise and said, "Isn't that Mr. Liu's property?" Why do you have to be taken care of by you, the prince of a country? ”
Empress Changsun's face was a little displeased, and she thought that Li Chengqian had taken away Liu Yiyi's property, and Empress Changsun had never forgotten Liu Yiyi's benefactor.
"The queen mother misunderstood," looking at the face of the eldest grandson, Li Chengqian said with a chuckle: "Just five days ago, Mr. Liu had dedicated the 'Liu's Fat Workshop' to the court, and now, this 'Liu's Fat Workshop' has nothing to do with Mr. Liu. ”
After that, Li Chengqian told Empress Changsun in detail about some of the causes and consequences of these things, among which, of course, there was also the incident of Lao Liu being stepped on and his right leg broken.
This is also the purpose of Li Chengqian's visit to the political palace, he always feels that there are some things that should also be known to his mother
