When the eldest grandson Wuji mentioned the eldest grandson queen, it was rare to use the nickname "Guanyin", speaking of which he was a person with a clear distinction between respect and inferiority, since Li Shimin ascended the throne as the emperor, whether it was in front of the person or after the person, when he mentioned his sister, he would be honored as the "queen", but today he revealed his true feelings in front of Li Xiu, so he couldn't help but use the nickname of the eldest grandson queen.

Li Xiu couldn't help but sigh with some emotion when he heard this, although he didn't see the eldest grandson queen much, but he had also heard some of her deeds, such as during the Wude period, Li Shimin was suppressed by Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng, and thanks to her many times in the palace, she tried her best to make good friends with the concubines in the palace, providing Li Shimin with some room for maneuver, when the Xuanwumen Incident occurred, she personally accompanied Li Shimin to appear to encourage the soldiers, and in the afterlife of the incident, Li Shimin asked Li Yuan for guilt, thus easing the relationship between their father and son.

Although the battle in the palace is not as real as on the battlefield, but the murder is bloodless, and the cruelty is not worse than on the battlefield. However, Li Xiu didn't want Qi Niang to follow the old path of Empress Changsun.

"Don't you want to marry Ling Mei to Cheng Qian?" I saw that after being silent for a long time, the eldest grandson Wuji suddenly asked again, this matter is very important to him, although Li Xiu has already expressed his position just now, he still wants to confirm it.

"If Cheng Qian is not the prince, I may be very much in favor, but his identity is really special, and I only have such a sister, I really don't want him to enter the palace, not to mention that I see that Qi Niang has always regarded Cheng Qian as a younger brother, and there is no love between men and women at all!" Li Xiu did not hesitate to make his position clear again.

Although the eldest grandson Wuji did not say it, Li Xiu could also see that he also did not want Li Chengqian to marry Qi Niang, mainly because Li Chengqian's relationship with himself was already very close, first, he was Li Chengqian's uncle, and secondly, he was Li Chengqian's teacher, in contrast, the eldest grandson Wuji was only Li Chengqian's uncle, if Li Chengqian ascended the throne in the future, I am afraid that Li Xiu's influence on Li Chengqian was still above the eldest grandson Wuji.

Of course, although Li Xiu's influence on Li Chengqian is stronger, it is also more limited than the eldest grandson Wuji, and Li Xiu does not like to participate in court politics, which also makes the eldest grandson Wuji more at ease, but if Li Chengqian marries Qi Niang now, then Li Xiu's influence on Li Chengqian will increase again, which makes the eldest grandson Wuji have to scruples, in the final analysis, personal relations are private friends, but in the face of power, the eldest grandson Wuji will not consider any personal relationships.

Hearing Li Xiu make his position clear again, Li Xiu immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but then frowned and said: "But now it seems that Cheng Qian has a deep affection for Sister Ling, and if you want him to give up, I'm afraid it will not be an easy task." ”

"During this time, I am also very distressed about this matter, to tell you, I haven't had a good night's sleep for several days, if I forcibly refuse to accept Qian, and don't let him meet Qi Niang again, it will definitely hurt his heart, but if it goes on like this, I'm afraid that he will fall deeper, so I am also very conflicted now!" Li Xiu was also helpless when he heard this.

The eldest grandson Wuji also nodded in agreement at this time, and his brows furrowed even deeper, and after a while, he suddenly raised his head, and said with a cold gaze: "Donkey, it's not impossible to make the prince give up!" ”

"What's the solution?" Li Xiu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, but when he saw the expression on the face of the eldest grandson Wuji, his heart was tight, and at the same time, he had a bad premonition.

"It's very simple, that is, to make another marriage for the prince, so that he can get married as soon as possible, so that he has no reason to pester Ling Mei anymore!" The eldest grandson Wuji said immediately.

"This ......" Li Xiu couldn't help but smile a little bitterly, just now he had vaguely guessed the idea of the eldest grandson Wuji, after all, apart from this method, there was really no other way to make Li Chengqian die.

"I know it's inconvenient for you to do this, donkey, so leave this matter to me!" Eldest Sun Wuji stood up at this time Huo Ran and said, as if he couldn't wait to settle this matter.

"Okay, Cheng Qian is fifteen years old, and he is indeed at the age of engagement, so there is Brother Lao Wuji!" Li Xiu was silent for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement, although he knew that he was a little sorry for Li Chengqian, but other than that, he had no other better way.

"Horse, this matter should not be delayed, enter the palace in the next place, first test Your Majesty's attitude, in my estimation, Your Majesty should not object, then I will persuade the queen to choose a virtuous and virtuous woman as the crown princess, as long as the marriage is settled, there will be no need to worry about the prince." After the eldest grandson Wuji finished speaking, he took his leave, and then strode out of here.

Looking at the back of the eldest grandson Wuji leaving, Li Xiu's face also showed a complicated look, and finally sat down again and looked at the lake outside the pavilion in a quiet daze, he didn't know whether it was right or wrong to choose a concubine for Li Chengqian, after all, it was a little too cruel to let Li Chengqian marry a woman he didn't like, but he couldn't let Qi Niang marry the other party.

Thinking of the above, Li Xiu also felt mixed in his heart, facing many choices in his life, and these choices are often in a dilemma, although we know that no matter which one we choose, we will regret the other possibility in the future, but we have to pick one of these difficult options.

Li Xiu sat quietly in the small pavilion in the middle of the lake for a long time, and finally until it was getting late, he slowly stood up, went out of the restaurant and got into the carriage and returned home, at this time it was completely dark, because there were children at home, so he had already eaten dinner, but Yuechan personally made some delicious meals for Li Xiu, and personally served Li Xiu to eat.

Feeling Yuechan's care for herself, Li Xiu was finally freed from the contradictory mood, and laughed with Yuechan casually, and after eating, she went to Princess Pingyang to play with the little guy Li Luo for a while, and then went back to rest.

The eldest grandson Wuji's action was indeed very fast, on the afternoon of the second day, Li Shimin suddenly summoned Li Xiu, eldest grandson Wuji, and other important ministers such as Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui to the Liangyi Palace. ”

"Your Majesty is wise, the crown prince has reached adulthood, and it is indeed the age when he should get married!" As soon as Li Shimin's words fell, he saw Fang Xuanling being the first to stand up and agree, he didn't know that Li Chengqian liked Qi Niang, but he simply felt that this was a good thing, after all, the prince had an heir, and it would only make Li Chengqian's position as the crown prince more solid, and at the same time reduce some unnecessary hidden dangers.

"The minister seconded the proposal!" Several other ministers also agreed, after all, this is a good thing, and it is beneficial to the country, so naturally no one objected.

"Marriage is indeed a good thing, but the choice of the crown princess is not certain, and the crown princess is the future queen, and the relationship is very important, so I want one of you to be in charge of the selection of the crown princess, I wonder which of you is willing to take on this important responsibility?" It is rare that no one objected to one thing, and Li Shimin immediately said very happily.

Hearing that someone was going to be responsible for selecting the crown princess, Fang Xuanling and the others showed hesitant expressions one by one, this matter is indeed very important, but it is not so easy to do, if the selected princess satisfies the prince, it is naturally the best, but if the prince is not satisfied, then the stake is too big, and then it may end up with people inside and out, so no one spoke for a while.

"Your Majesty, the minister feels that the matter of choosing a concubine for the crown prince is not only a state affair, but also a family affair of His Majesty, so it is best for a relative of the emperor to be responsible for the selection of the crown princess!" At this moment, I saw an old minister with gray hair and big ears standing up and saying, and when he spoke, he deliberately looked up at Li Xiu and the eldest grandson Wuji.

This old minister Li Xiu knows, he is the eldest grandson Wuji and the eldest grandson queen's uncle Gao Shilian, when the eldest grandson Wuji's father died early, so their brother and sister have been living in Gao Shilian's house, the eldest grandson queen can marry Li Shimin, and he also single-handedly promoted this marriage, so whether it is the eldest grandson Wuji or Li Shimin, he has great respect for him, and after the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Gao Shilian has also repeatedly held important positions.

"What Da Sikong said is extremely true, and the minister seconded it!" Seeing that Gao Shilian even cheated his own nephew, Fang Xuanling naturally would not let go of this opportunity, and immediately agreed, in fact, he also felt that Li Xiu and the eldest grandson Wuji were the most suitable to do this, even if the prince was not satisfied, he could bear it as the two of them. Naturally, the others also seconded the proposal, anyway, the dead friends are not dead and poor, and no one wants to take this drudgery.

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to take charge of the selection of the crown princess!" At this moment, I saw the eldest grandson Wuji take the initiative to stand up and speak. Seeing this, Li Xiu finally understood, it is estimated that Gao Shilian and the eldest grandson Wuji had already colluded, so they acted in the play just now.

The eldest grandson Wuji had already said that he would personally handle Li Chengqian's marriage, so Li Xiu naturally would not rob him, and it was best for the eldest grandson Wuji to be in charge, at least Li Xiu did not have to worry that he would choose Qi Niang.

It is estimated that Li Shimin is also very inclined to the eldest grandson Wuji or Li Xiu, after all, they are not only his most trusted ministers, but also the imperial family, and the relationship with Li Chengqian is also very close, so when he saw the eldest grandson Wuji take the initiative to stand up, he also nodded and said: "Very good, the matter of choosing a concubine for Chengqian will be handed over to you Wuji, and after three months, I want you to choose a suitable princess for the prince!" ”
