Chapter 194: Pingyang who cried bitterly

Princess Pingyang was furious when she saw that Chai Shao had framed Li Xiu in such a despicable way, and even decided to enter the palace immediately but saw Li Yuan and begged her father to dissolve the marriage between herself and Chai Shao. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Li Xiu was also taken aback when he heard this, and wanted to persuade her to calm down, after all, now is not the most appropriate time.

However, Princess Pingyang is a soft and rigid character, as long as she decides something, she will never change it easily, not to mention that this time Chai Shao has touched her bottom line, which makes Princess Pingyang unable to listen to anyone's persuasion, and after arranging this side of the matter, she immediately brought someone into the palace to see Li Yuan.

Li Yuan was discussing things with Pei Lin and other important ministers at this time, mainly because of the news from Li Shimin from the north, although the uncles and nephews of Jieli and Tuli on the Turkic side were very fierce, but in Li Shimin's judgment, the possibility of fighting was basically ruled out, but he didn't get nothing, at least he had secretly contacted Tuli's people, and reached an alliance with the other party, Tuli will become an important chess piece for Datang to deal with Jieli in the future, of course, on the other hand, Datang is also an important bargaining chip for Tuli to contain Jieli, Everyone is just benefiting each other and taking advantage of each other.

However, at this moment, an attendant trotted in and reported to Li Yuan about Princess Pingyang's request to see, and also deliberately described Princess Pingyang's appearance as if she was very angry, which made Li Yuan stunned, and he couldn't care about discussing government affairs at the moment, so he directly handed over the following matters to Pei Lin to deal with, and then ran to meet Princess Pingyang himself.

"Father, my daughter begs you to dissolve my marriage with Chai Shao!" As soon as Princess Pingyang saw Li Yuan, she immediately got straight to the point, she used to understand her father's difficulties, even if she hated Chai Shao in her heart, but she never took the initiative to bring up this matter, in order to take care of the overall situation, but today she decided to be selfish once, she never wanted to have anything to do with someone like Chai Shao again!

"Sanniang, why did you suddenly make this request?" Li Yuan was shocked at first when he heard Princess Pingyang's words, and then he couldn't help but ask in a deep voice, this matter has always been a pimple in his heart, Princess Pingyang didn't mention it, and he pretended not to know, but now that Princess Pingyang has mentioned it, he can only face this problem head-on.

"Father, when Chai Shao left his daughter in danger, he almost let his daughter die, since then, his daughter is no longer his wife, and now he is colluding with the officials of the Criminal Department to frame my subordinates, it is really despicable, my daughter really doesn't want to have any contact with this kind of person, and I ask my father for permission!" Princess Pingyang did not hide it, and pleaded again, it was the first time since she became an adult that she pleaded with her father like this.

Li Yuan was also very embarrassed when he heard this, although Chai Shao had some military merits, he didn't care much, the key was that there was a Chai family behind Chai Shao, and he had promised that the Chai family would never lose each other.

Second, the Chai family seems to be inconspicuous on the surface, and its reputation is not very good, but it belongs to one of the big families, and maintains a good relationship with the five surnames and seven wangs, when Li Yuan raised the army, the reason why he got the support of some big families is largely due to the secret help of the Chai family, if Princess Pingyang and Chai Shao dissolve the marriage contract now, it will cause irreparable scars between him and those big families, so that the Tang Dynasty, which was originally settled, will have unpredictable changes.

"Sanniang, I know that Chai Shao is indeed sorry for you, but after all, you are husband and wife, can't you give him a chance to change?" Li Yuan suddenly sighed at this time and asked, although Princess Pingyang is his favorite daughter, she still can't compare with the Jiangshan Sheji of the Tang Dynasty.

"Father, we haven't even finished the worship hall, let alone the fact of husband and wife, where is a husband and wife? And my daughter has endured it for so many years, and now she really can't bear it anymore! "Princess Pingyang is categorical, since she came here, she has already made up her mind to break off the relationship with Chai Shao.

Seeing Princess Pingyang's attitude so resolute, Li Yuan was even more embarrassed, and wanted to refuse directly, but he couldn't bear it, after all, Princess Pingyang was not only his favorite daughter, but also helped him make a lot of contributions, especially at the beginning of the army, it was Princess Pingyang who selflessly handed over his 70,000 women's army to him, which made the strength in his hands soar, so as to rapidly expand and achieve today's hegemony.

But if he agrees to let Princess Pingyang and Chai Shao reconcile, it may cause instability in the political situation of the Tang Dynasty, and at the same time make him lose his trust, which will also cause a great blow to the prestige of an emperor, and he doesn't want any stain about him in the history books.

Just when Li Yuan was in a dilemma, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he immediately raised his head and said to Princess Pingyang: "Sanniang, tell me honestly, this time you insist on making peace with Chai Shao, is it because of that Li Xiu?" ”

Hearing her father suddenly mention Li Xiu, Princess Pingyang couldn't help but be startled, and then said a little hesitantly: "Father...... Father, what are you talking about, what is the matter between me and Chai Shao and Li Xiu? ”

Seeing his daughter's appearance, Li Yuan showed an indifferent smile and said: "Sanniang, I already know about you and Li Xiu, you don't have to hide it, speaking of which, I owe you too much for my father, if you want to be with Li Xiu, my father will not object, but you'd better keep this nominal marriage with the Chai family, and I won't let Chai Shao bother you anymore!" ”

"Father, who are you as a daughter?" Princess Pingyang's face changed greatly when she heard this, and she even looked at her father with a somewhat unfamiliar gaze, she couldn't believe that Li Yuan actually let her and Li Xiu only maintain a lover relationship, but they couldn't become husband and wife openly at all, and even to put it ugly, it was actually cheating.

"Sanniang, don't be so stubborn, husband and wife are just a name, with Li Xiu's background, even if you and Chai Shao reconcile, he is definitely not worthy of you, so it is better to listen to your father, so it is good for you, Li Xiu, the Chai family and the court." Li Yuan persuaded bitterly again, in his opinion, his daughter was a princess, and she had never gotten along with her concubine Chai Shao, since this was the case, it was better to let her be with Li Xiu, anyway, with him pressing, no one dared to say anything.

"Father, don't say it again, Li Xiu is definitely not the kind of person you think, he is the one who wants to marry me in a dignified manner, and before that, I will never do anything against women's morals!" Princess Pingyang said with a flushed face with anger, which is also fortunate that the person who said these words was her father, otherwise she would have turned her face a long time ago.

"Sanniang, you ...... Don't you be so stubborn, okay? Li Yuan couldn't help but say helplessly when he saw Princess Pingyang's appearance, he felt that his proposal was quite good, that is, it solved the problem of Princess Pingyang and Li Xiu, and saved the face of the Chai family and the imperial court, it was simply a few in one fell swoop, of course, as for Li Xiu and Chai Shao's personal feelings, they were not in his consideration at all.

"Daughter retires!" Princess Pingyang didn't want to say anything to Li Yuan at this time, and left without looking back as soon as she turned around, she felt that if she continued to talk like this, she was afraid that she would be mad by her father.

"Sanniang! Sanniang...... Alas...... "Li Xiu saw Princess Pingyang leave angrily, and shouted a few times behind his back at the moment, but unfortunately this time Princess Pingyang was really angry, and he didn't pay attention to him and left the hall directly, which made Li Yuan sigh, since he became the emperor, he first found that his two sons were emotionally estranged from him, and now even his daughter is dissatisfied with him, which makes Li Yuan feel a sense of sadness, is it true that the emperor's family can't tolerate a little family affection?

Princess Pingyang left the palace without looking back, because she was worried that if she went back, she couldn't help but shed tears of grievance, she didn't expect that even her father would be so incomprehensible to herself, and even say the above words, as soon as she thought of this, she wanted to cry aggrieved.

However, both sides of the palace are full of palace maids and chamberlains, Princess Pingyang does not like to shed tears in front of others, so she has been forced to go out of the palace, and then rode out of the city, her eyes were sour due to the strong wind blowing along the way, but she still did not cry, until she returned to Li Xiu's house again, and when she saw Li Xiu who was anxiously waiting alone, she finally couldn't help crying all of a sudden.

Li Xiu cried bitterly without saying a word when he saw Princess Pingyang come back, although he didn't know what Princess Pingyang had done when he saw Li Yuan, but he could also guess that Li Yuan must not have agreed to Princess Pingyang's request to leave, which was also in his expectation, and he sighed at the moment, stepped forward and patted Princess Pingyang's back and said: "Princess, although Your Majesty is your father, he is also the king of a country, for the stability of the country, he must also have his own considerations, so you don't have to be too sad." ”

Hearing that Li Xiu was still speaking for his father, and then thinking of his father's previous words, Princess Pingyang cried even more, Li Xiu was useless no matter how much she persuaded her, and finally had to silently help her wipe her tears, and at the same time he was very sorry in his heart, this was the first time he saw Princess Pingyang crying so sadly.

Princess Pingyang didn't know how long she cried, she only felt that her grievances could only be vented in this way, and finally she was tired of crying, and finally fell asleep on a solid arm, which was also the first time she cried so happily since her mother died.

Li Xiu looked at Princess Pingyang who was sobbing a few times in her sleep in her arms, and her eyes were also full of pity, now she is a little girl who has been wronged by her parents, only in front of the people she trusts, she will let go of herself and cry without any scruples, but I don't know what Li Yuan said to her, so that Princess Pingyang, who has always been strong, cries like this?
