Chapter 358: Xingyang Zheng Clan
"How do I know this, but guessing it, there are only so many forces that have the courage and strength, so there is nothing to guess at all, and it's none of my business anyway!" Li Xiu heard Pei Xiao ask him about the mastermind behind the assassination of Li Shimin, but he smiled and said that he really didn't care much about this issue. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Hehe, then you're wrong, this matter really has something to do with you!" Li Xiu never expected to mention it, but Pei Lin suddenly smiled a little heavily.
"What, how could it have anything to do with me?" When Li Xiu heard this, he stared at Pei Xiaodao in shock.
"To be exact, it should be related to the princess, let me ask you, are the prince's daughters in the princess's mansion?" Pei Lin didn't answer Li Xiu immediately, but instead asked a seemingly unrelated question.
"It's with us, and they are still studying with my sister during this time, but they are all women, and they are all children, can't King Qin even tolerate them?" Li Xiu said a little angrily when he heard this, he still thought that Pei Lin heard some rumors, and someone wanted to be unfavorable to them?
"Don't get me wrong, this is not about King Qin, but the mastermind behind the assassination of King Qin, which is actually related to the crown prince." Pei Lin immediately opened his mouth to explain, and deliberately looked around when he spoke, after all, this matter is a top secret in Datang, and he has just heard a little rumor, and the people in the entire Chang'an City who know about this matter can probably count it on one hand.
"The prince's old department, that's not unusual, but it's impossible to implicate the prince's daughters, right?" Li Xiu asked again puzzled when he heard this.
"They are not the prince's old department, at most they are the prince's allies, and they have also put a lot of money on the prince, and as a result, the prince died, and they also lost a lot of money, from this aspect, they are definitely the people who hate King Qin the most in the Tang Dynasty!" Pei Lin still hasn't said who is behind the scenes, it seems that he wants to test Li Xiu.
"An ally of the Prince? I am afraid that the only ones who can be called allies are those families, and among these families, the people who have made a heavy bet on the crown prince ......" Li Xiu couldn't help but show a contemplative expression after listening to Pei Lian's words, and at the same time whispered to himself, and when he said the end, he also suddenly raised his head and stared at Pei Lin and said, "Could it be the Xingyang Zheng family!" ”
"Hehe, you guessed right, it's the Zheng family, speaking of which their luck is really good, as early as when His Majesty didn't raise troops, their Zheng family married the prince, and the princess is the daughter of the Zheng family, with this relationship, the Zheng family has always been very supportive of the prince, and also helped the prince win over several other families, and even in order to stabilize the relationship with the prince, they sent a few Zheng daughters to the prince's side as concubines, among the prince's daughters in your family, four of them were born to Zheng daughters!" Pei Lin nodded.
"Sure enough!" Li Xiu couldn't help but say to himself when he heard this, Master Toma's blessing used to know a little about the relationship between Li Jiancheng and the family, so he could guess that it was the Zheng family in Xingyang, but soon he raised his head with some doubts and said, "Pei Xiang, even if those girls are from the Zheng family, I'm afraid they can't be implicated, right?" ”
"It's not implicated, in fact, the Zheng family played very beautifully this time, although there are some indications that the assassination of King Qin was instigated by them, but there is no substantial evidence, so King Qin can't do anything about them, at most it's just trouble for them afterwards, but the power of the family is intertwined, and they are allied with each other by marriage, and it is even more difficult for the court to move them, so King Qin suppressed the Zheng family for a while at most, and he couldn't hurt their muscles and bones at all!"
When he said this, he saw Pei Lin pause for a moment and then said: "But you and the princess should also be careful, the King of Qi and the King of Anlu County and others have left the Tang Dynasty, and only the prince's daughters are left with you, I am worried that people like the Zheng family may beat their ideas, so you should also pay attention to them at ordinary times, and don't let them have too much contact with outsiders!" ”
"I understand, thank you Pei Xiang for the reminder!" Li Xiu finally understood what Pei Lin meant at this time, and I am afraid this was the main reason why he told himself about it.
"Well, I'm also the prince's old party, but it's a pity that it's hard to protect myself now, I am also very grateful that you can help the prince save his family, these are the last things I can do for the prince!" Pei Lin couldn't help sighing at the end, and then he gave his leave, and Li Xiu kept sending him into the carriage, watching the carriage disappear at the end of the road before turning back.
Holding the marriage decree sent by Pei Lin in his hand, Li Xiu also ran to see Princess Pingyang for the first time, intending to tell her the good news, but when he came to Princess Pingyang's room, he was empty, and asked the maid to know that Princess Pingyang went to the garden, so Li Xiu hurriedly went to the garden.
As soon as he entered the garden, he heard a loud reader in the distance, which made Li Xiu stunned, and then walked over with the sound, only to see that in the long corridor of the garden, Qi Niang and Yu Niang and others sat in a row, Princess Pingyang stood in front of them with a book in hand, and was teaching them to read word by word, Li Xiu stood there and listened to a few sentences and didn't know what they were reading, anyway, it was definitely not the Analects, this was also the only book he could memorize.
Seeing Princess Pingyang and them reciting the book, Li Xiu didn't rush to disturb, just stood aside and listened quietly, the five sisters also learned very seriously, even the youngest Mianniang, was held by the nurse and sat there, her small mouth was closed, and she didn't know what to call, it is estimated that she only felt that the appearance of her sisters was very interesting, so she followed to learn together.
After a long while, Princess Pingyang finally finished teaching an article, and then asked Qi Niang and them to memorize it by themselves, and she also saw Li Xiu at this time, and immediately walked over with a smile and said, "How is it, what is the matter with Pei Xiang coming to you?" ”
"It's a great thing, you should be mentally prepared first, don't get too excited!" Li Xiu excitedly reminded at this time that Princess Pingyang was still a pregnant woman, and if she was too excited, it would not be a good thing for her.
"What good thing makes you so happy?" Princess Pingyang couldn't help but be a little amused when she saw Li Xiu's excited appearance, she had known him for so long, and it was the first time she was so happy to see Li Xiu.
"You'll find out for yourself, but be sure to calm down and think about the kid in your head!" Li Xiu warned again in advance, for fear that Princess Pingyang would be too happy to know about the marriage, so he took out the holy decree after speaking.
And when Princess Pingyang saw the holy decree, her expression was also stunned for a moment, and then she took the holy decree and looked at it, but only half of it was seen, and her whole body trembled with excitement, and finally suddenly threw herself into Li Xiu's arms and cried bitterly.
Since she fell in love with Li Xiu, she has always dreamed of being able to become Li Xiu's wife, although the two of them visited the church before, but after all, it is not very formal, which is also a heart disease in her heart, and she has been reluctant to live in Li Xiu's house because of this, but now she has finally waited for this day, with this holy decree, she and Li Xiu can also be regarded as a positive result, how can she not be excited?
Li Xiu also understood Princess Pingyang's current mood, and patted her on the back and comforted her softly, but just after crying for a while, Princess Pingyang suddenly straightened up, and looked at the holy decree carefully again without wiping her tears. ”
"Haha~, it turns out that you are worried about this, in fact, this is a means played by His Majesty, Yi Niang is a marriage given by His Majesty himself, and you are also married by His Majesty, and His Majesty did not mention anything about Yi Niang in the holy decree, which also acquiesces to the existence of Yi Niang, so you and Yi Niang are my wives!" Li Xiu explained with a smile at the moment, when he saw the holy decree just now, he had already understood Li Yuan's thoughts, and it was estimated that Pei Lian also understood, so the two of them tacitly did not mention anything about Yi Niang.
"If that's the case, then it's the best, I'm really afraid of the clothes lady ......"
"Okay, you are all my wives, and you even have children, I will explain to Yi Niang, but I don't want to say anything to Yi Niang, after all, she treats you as a sister, and when we have a chance in the future, how about we make up for a wedding, last time it was too hasty, I don't want to wronged you!" Before Princess Pingyang finished speaking, she was interrupted by Li Xiu, and finally deliberately changed the topic, so as not to have a burden in her heart.
"The wedding is still not wanted, last time...... Although I was in a hurry last time, I was ...... Loved it! Princess Pingyang finally blushed, especially when it came to the last word "like", her face was also full of shy expressions, that day Li Xiuqiang pulled her to marry, although she was very tough, but it made her really feel that she had a strong chest to rely on, so although the visit was hasty, it made her feel very satisfied.
"That's right, now that you're pregnant with a child, you can only watch after visiting the church, how can you still cave the house? Then after you have a baby, let's visit the church again, and then ...... Hehe~" Li Xiu heard Princess Pingyang's words but didn't fully agree, but said to himself with a dirty face, but as soon as the words fell, Princess Pingyang pointed a finger on her head, even if it was an old husband and wife, this kind of joke was still a little unacceptable to her.
Early the next morning, the marriage of Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang was summoned to the world, Princess Pingyang is the most famous of all the Tang princesses, if it is placed in normal times, her marriage will definitely cause a great sensation, but now the Tang Dynasty has just experienced the change of Xuanwumen, and now Li Shimin has been seriously injured in the assassination, and everyone is staring at the palace, so Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang's marriage did not cause much impact, but there are a lot of discussions on the streets.
Of course, not everyone didn't pay attention to this matter, for example, when someone in Chang'an City heard the news, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and then flew on his horse and rushed out of the mansion! (To be continued.) )
