Another Spring Festival has arrived, and Li Shimin's Zhenguan year has come to its thirteenth year.

Early in the morning of the first day of the first lunar month, Li Shimin drove by car to meet the dedication of his son Tang Gaozu Li Yuan.

I stayed there for two days and returned to the palace on the third day.

At the end of last year, Li Shimin finally married his daughter Gao Yang to Fang Xuanling's second son Fang Yiai, and Fang Yiai's kid was as he wished, and his wife Gao Yang's dowry was no less than that of Princess Yongjia.

I only married my daughter last year, and just returned to work after turning my head for the Chinese New Year.

This Rong En is no one anymore.

But Fang Xuanling didn't think this was Rong En, he felt that this Nima was a sign that it would be over sooner or later. Since ancient times, no emperor has said that he is not afraid of his courtiers monopolizing power.

Fang Xuanling thought to himself that he had been in the position of prime minister for fifteen years, and some people in the outside world had already said that he was autocratic, saying that he had formed a party for personal gain, although the Qing was self-purifying, but who knew what the emperor thought.

Besides, his son Fang Yiai married the emperor's daughter Princess Gaoyang, and the daughter married the emperor's younger brother and became the princess of Han.

But as the saying goes, things must be reversed, and there is a saying that blessings and misfortunes lurk, and there are many examples of prosperity and decline in all dynasties.

In case the rich and perfect God can't stand it, won't he have to suffer all over the house?

Fang Xuanling, who is familiar with history books and is well versed in politics, decided to retire bravely, and requested to be relieved of his confidential position.

But Li Shimin just didn't agree, no matter how Fang Xuanling asked, he didn't agree to let him retire.

Maybe this is the treatment of Li Shimin's henchmen, look at Li Jing, when he was afraid that his merits would be high and he had to defile himself, Li Shimin didn't even hesitate to use the excuse given by Li Jing to remove Li Jing from his military position, and then gave him a civilian position of right servant.

The difference is really too obvious.

That is, at the end of January, Wang Ziyu's uncle, Wang Qi, a scholar of the Ministry of Rites from the Taiyuan Wang family, died of illness.

The closest thing to the Wang family in Chang'an is the Wu family, this old man Wang Qi died, and the Wu family went over to help with it.

There is no way, the relationship between the Wu family and the Wang family is not only that Wang Ju is Wang Ziyu's uncle, but Wang Jue's son Wang Jingzhi is also a brother-in-law with Wu Yuanqing, that is, Wu Yuanqing's brother-in-law, and he can be regarded as his brother-in-law. Xiangcheng's younger sister and Changle's sister Princess Nanping is married to Wang Jingzhi.

Wang Jue can be said to be the highest official position in the Wang family in the court, and he is also the highest official position among the five surnames and seven wangmen valves, and his death has a great impact.

Each family has sent important people to come.

It was Wang Lun who came to the Taiyuan Wang family, and Wu Yuanqing and his brother-in-law Wang Lun met again many years later. Wang Lun is much more stable than before, the image of the oily little white face is gone, replaced by a short beard that symbolizes age.

Wang Ziyu couldn't be happy when he saw his eldest brother, although his uncle shouldn't show joy at the new funeral, but the joy in his heart couldn't be suppressed.

The last time the brother and sister saw each other was when Zhenguan was four years old, and it's been almost ten years.

In the first two years, Yaya was born in Taiyuan, and the Wang family did not send anyone here, but it is not surprising that whoever gave birth to a daughter will definitely send someone to give birth to a boy.

The main reason is that the road is too far away, and the relatives who live in the two provinces in the future may not see each other for a few years, more than ten years, or decades, let alone at this time.

It's really not easy to go out of a long way, the long way is still second, the key is to go out, in case of a lifetime of illness or something, you may hang on the road. It's not a big deal, no one wants to travel far.

Wang Lun came with a servant escort in a light car, without bringing his wife and children, after all, time waits for no one, here Wang Jue died and sent someone to Taiyuan to report the news, and then to Taiyuan to come to people, all the way to the horse and whip it will take more than ten days, if you bring your wife and children, you don't arrive, here will be the funeral.

Wang Jue's funeral was very grand, the specifications were very high, Li Shimin not only posthumously presented him as the secretary of the ministry, gave him the name of Yi, but also mourned in plain clothes, because Wang Jue was the teacher of the little fat man Li Tai, Li Shimin ordered Li Tai to lead a hundred officials to give Wang Jue a funeral.

Although an important minister died, the government should be dealt with, and three days after the suspension of the court, Li Shimin began to deal with political affairs again.

I don't know if it's because Wang Qi died and was overly sad or what's going on, as soon as Li Shimin went to court, he did a very embarrassing thing.

made Wu Yuanqing and these juniors feel panicked when they said it, he actually wanted to marry his daughter to Wei Chigong.

You said that it's not like this to win over people, not only can you not win over, but you may also run away with people.

The cause of the incident was because Li Shimin said to Wei Chigong: "Some people say that you want to rebel, why do people say that?"

Wei Chigong was very angry, and said in a rough voice: "Yes, my rebellion is true."

Of course, these words were angry words, and Chi Gong, the lieutenant in the back, bluntly accused Li Shimin and said: "I followed Your Majesty to conquer the Quartet, experienced a hundred battles, and now all I have left on my body are traces of blades and arrows. Now that the world is settled, do you begin to suspect that I am going to rebel? ”

As he spoke, he took off his clothes and threw them on the ground, patting the scars on his body topless for Li Shimin to see.

Li Shimin saw that Wei Chigong was angry like this, and hurriedly cried to comfort him: "Jingde, hurry up and put on your clothes, what are you doing, don't you know your heart?" I don't doubt you at all, that's why I say this to you, why should I be so angry? “

That's what he said, and what he said was very good, what do you believe and don't doubt it, but as soon as Wei Chigong put on his clothes, he wanted to apologize for his disrespect, so Li Shimin gave Yu Chigong a stick, of course, Li Shimin himself felt that he was giving grace, and he said to Yu Chigong with a smile: "I want to marry my daughter to you, what do you think?" Which of my daughters do you like, you tell me, I will fulfill you."

Grandma is a leg, and when Wu Yuanqing knew about this conversation, he scolded in a low voice in front of Xiangcheng and Changle, "Ya is really shameless."

Li Shimin is not ashamed, but Chi Gong still feels ashamed.

Wei Chi Gong is more than ten years older than Li Shimin, and he is more than fifty years old, and his eldest son Yu Chi Baolin is much older than Li Shimin's daughters.

The eldest Xiangcheng is only in his twenties, so you can imagine how old Li Shimin's other daughters are.

Not to mention that Li Shimin's older daughters are basically married, and the oldest of the rest is only a teenager, let Wei Chigong, an old man in his fifties, marry a teenage girl, Li Shimin can think of it and say it.

Wei Chigong doesn't want to be a brother-in-law with juniors like Wu Yuanqing, and he has to be called Wu Yuanqing's brother-in-law in the future, he can't afford to lose that person.

He didn't say that I was so old, your daughter was so young, or that my identity was not worthy of these polite words, but said to Li Shimin very directly again: "Although my wife is lowly, she has shared weal and woe with me for many years. Although I am only a shallow learner, I have also heard that the ancients were rich and noble, and His Majesty said that marrying a princess to me is not in line with my heart. ”

The implication is that although Lao Tzu has little reading, he also knows that the wife of the dregs does not go to court, and you say that Lao Tzu is unwilling to marry his daughter.

It is said that although Li Shimin gave up after being rejected, he seemed very disappointed and unwilling.

Ya, it's really shameless.
