Chapter 778: Aunt Princess

Although Princess Tong'an is old, she is very nosy, and in modern terms, she belongs to an old lady who can gossip. This may have something to do with her experience when she was young, because the reason why the Tang Dynasty was established has something to do with her gossip spirit.

In the former Sui Dynasty, Princess Tong'an's daughter entered the Daxing Palace, which is now the palace of the Tang Dynasty, and made a concubine for Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty.

Emperor Yang of Sui was very disgusted with Li Yuan, the relationship between his cousins was not good, and even Emperor Yang of Sui wanted Li Yuan to die with a click. But in the early days, Emperor Yang of Sui didn't show much of it, just disgusted it in his heart, but he didn't tell the ministers, and he didn't even know his henchman Yuwenshu.

However, once, Emperor Yang of Sui wanted to see Li Yuan and let Li Yuan enter the palace, but it happened that Li Yuan was ill at this time and did not come within the specified time. Emperor Yang of Sui asked Princess Tong'an's daughter and said, "Why did your uncle come so late?" ”

Princess Tong'an's daughter told the truth and replied to Emperor Yang of Sui, saying that her uncle was sick and that she had listened to her aunt.

Emperor Yang of Sui said casually: "Can you die of illness?" His expression was also quite vicious, inadvertently revealing his disgust for Li Yuan.

Otherwise, if you can understand the emperor's emotions and mentality, you can be smooth sailing as an official, even if you can't be promoted and make a fortune, at least your life can be saved.

Emperor Yang of Sui inadvertently revealed his attitude towards Li Yuan, and was immediately gossiped out by Princess Tong'an's daughter and told Princess Tong'an, of course, Princess Tong'an was not a princess at that time, but she was Li Yuan's own sister, she immediately ran to Li Yuan and told Li Yuan about Emperor Yang's attitude.

In this way, Li Yuan understood what the emperor was thinking. From then on, Li Yuan was cautious and found an opportunity to leave the capital, return to Taiyuan, save his life, and later establish the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, the spirit of gossip can sometimes make a contribution.

It is precisely because of the merits of Princess Tong'an, so after the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan was very good to this sister, and canonized her as the eldest princess for the first time, and Li Shimin was also very good to her, and often came to visit this aunt.

The emperors of the Tang Dynasty all know that this aunt is very tough, and even quite unreasonable, but they are very tolerant of what she does, and the degree of tolerance can no longer be regarded as turning a blind eye, but simply closing her eyes and not asking at all.

Princess Tong'an's concubine had a son, but this son was not born to Princess Tong'an, this son died, and Princess Tong'an didn't know what was going wrong, so she drove her daughter-in-law and grandson out of the house and forced them to leave Chang'an. The grandson's name is Wang Fangyi, a very powerful general. But Li Shimin and Li Zhi didn't dare to squeak and didn't dare to care about Princess Tong'an's affairs, so that Wang Fangyi was not recalled to Chang'an until Princess Tong'an died, and made great achievements in Li Zhi's court.

Princess Tong'an doesn't like her grandson, but she likes her niece and nephew, she has always loved Queen Wang, and it was because of her matchmaking that Queen Wang married Li Zhi, and now she is the queen.

Today, the housekeeper of the palace came back from inspecting the grange in the countryside and brought back a nun, saying that this nun knew something about Li Ke's rebellion. Princess Tong'an's gossip spirit broke out, so she asked the maids to take care of this nun. As a result, the more she likes gossip, the more gossip comes, and she is in a coma, and she says a lot of things, including about the emperor, private meetings, Wang Xiangye, etc., although it is vague, but it also proves that she knows the royal **.

The little girl hurriedly passed the word to Princess Tong'an, who immediately told them that once the nun woke up, she must immediately inform her that she had something to ask. Hearing that Xiao Yahuan came to report that the nun had woken up, she was afraid that the nun would be injured and would not be able to come to see her, so she actually came to the scene and wanted to gossip about it.

Princess Tong'an has gossiped all her life, and naturally she has to explore the essence of gossip, she was frightened and frightened, and she was stunned, and thought that when she was in a coma, she said everything that should be said and what should not be said.

Frightened, she couldn't help it, so she had to tell everything she heard at the back mountain gate, plus some of her own imagination.

After listening to this, Princess Tong'an didn't have the slightest anger, she didn't care what kind of woman the emperor liked, even if she liked a nun, the emperor was the lord of the world, he liked whoever he wanted, no one could care about him, and she herself not only didn't want to care, but on the contrary, she felt very interesting!

Let the maids take good care of it, Princess Tong'an went back to her residence, called the housekeeper, and said: "These days, the palace is very lonely, but the children don't come to visit the palace, the real world is going down, the children are becoming more and more unfilial, they should really go to hell, let the Lord of Yama repair them!" ”

The housekeeper hurriedly laughed and asked Princess Tong'an which child she wanted to chat with her to relieve her boredom?

As a housekeeper, of course he knew that Princess Tong'an, the old lady, was an idle person, especially able to talk and chat, but her children died earlier than her, and her husband had passed away, so she was very lonely and lonely, so she always wanted to let other juniors accompany her, and the elderly were lonely, which was understandable.

Princess Tong'an said: "You go and call Xiaoliu to come, the palace wants to scold him, and he is blamed for not being good, but as a result, the emperor went out to be romantic, and it was just a matter of going to other places to be romantic, and it was really unreasonable to go to the nunnery!" ”

The housekeeper thought to himself: "Xiaoliu, could it be that you are talking about Liu Zheng?" Alas, people in their sixties are still called Xiaoyanagi, which is really difficult enough for Liu Shilang! He agreed, left the princess's mansion, and went to find Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng is the uncle of Queen Wang, who was promoted to Zhongshu Shilang not long ago, and the position he replaced happened to be Xu Jingzong's. Strictly speaking, the reason why he was promoted has nothing to do with his ability to be an official, but thanks to Wang Ping'an's blessing, he made up for the vacancy in Zhongshu Province, and Wang Ping'an is his benefactor!

Today, Liu Zheng is working in Zhongshu Province, because tomorrow there will be a big court meeting, as a Zhongshu waiter, Ma Zhou's deputy, he has to hurry up and sort out what Ma Zhou will do when he goes to court, this is his own job, and it must be done well.

After a busy morning, Liu Zheng finished his official work and handed over the documents to Ma Zhou's desk. After Ma Zhou read it, he said: "Lord Liu, you go to Dongtai to see if Wang Ping'an is in the office." Ask him who he wants to recommend for the general candidate of Yingzhou, and if he wants to nominate someone, it is best to say hello to the old man in advance! ”

Liu Zheng hurriedly agreed, left Xitai, and rushed to Dongtai. But after arriving in Menxia Province, he found that Wang Ping'an was not there, and asked the officials in Dongtai, and the reply was that Wang Xiangye had never been here except for the first day of his appointment, and he had never worked.

Liu Zheng thought to himself: "Okay, Wang Ping'an's slaughter is really comfortable, my tired life is not as good as others!" He went out of the province, but he was worried about the task assigned by Ma Zhou, so he left the palace and wanted to go to the Guogong Mansion to have a look.

But as soon as he left the palace gate, he saw someone greet him and told him that the princess of Tong'an was going to scold him and let him go to the princess's mansion to receive the scolding!

Liu Zheng couldn't cry or laugh, he was in his sixties, and he had to be called Xiaoliu, and he had to be scolded, and the most headache was that he had to be obedient, be cute, and be ecstatic to be scolded to show his honor. Tong'an wants to scold people, but not everyone has this honor, and it is not easy for others to be scolded!

I had to send my entourage to Wang Ping'an's Guogong Mansion first, to see if Wang Ping'an was there, and to make an appointment for him to go again, so as not to find anyone again. He himself followed the people from the princess's mansion to see Princess Tong'an.

The princess's mansion Liu Zheng often comes, he has a very good relationship with Princess Tong'an, first, he is also his own relative, and secondly, Liu Zheng also wants to have a good relationship with Princess Tong'an, in the officialdom, the strongest wind is the pillow wind, and the hardest relationship is nepotism. As long as he has a good relationship with Princess Tong'an, he will be able to have a much smoother career in his career!

After entering the princess's mansion and seeing Princess Tong'an, Liu Zheng first lay on the ground and saluted, and asked, "Auntie, I don't know what is the matter with my little nephew?" ”

Princess Tong'an sighed and said, "Your good nephew and son-in-law, who is romantic, recently hooked up with a nun in the Ganye Temple, and went to a private meeting in the middle of the night. Tell me, what is this like, isn't it too unusual! ”

Liu Zheng was stunned when he heard this, and thought, "Which nephew and son-in-law?" To be counted, my Liu clan, there are twenty or thirty nieces who call me uncle, which one do you refer to? ”

Whichever one it is, let's go along with the old lady's words first, that's right. Liu Zheng immediately said: "There is such a thing, it's too unbelievable, after the little nephew goes back, he will definitely punish that guy heavily, and he will ruin the reputation of the monk, so he has to break his dog's leg!" ”

When Princess Tong'an heard this, she immediately said with concern: "Are you really going to break your nephew and son-in-law's legs?" Do you still call his legs doglegs? This palace sees that you are as timid as a mouse, and you don't care if you really do it! ”

Liu Zheng was immediately unhappy, he attached great importance to his status, especially after becoming a Zhongshu squire, almost everyone said that he could become a Zhongshu Ling, Ma Zhou was not in good health, and he could fall down at any time, and he would be the best candidate for Zhongshu Ling, otherwise he could work so hard!

Liu Zheng said: "What my aunt said is wrong, why doesn't my little nephew dare?" If you do something wrong, you will be punished, not to mention something that insults people's reputation. Auntie, tell me quickly, which nephew and son-in-law of the little nephew is it, and the little nephew will break his dog's leg today! He said so loudly that his eyes stood up.

Princess Tong'an sighed and said, "Which one?" Don't you only have one niece and son-in-law? Could it be that there are a lot of them? ”

Liu Zheng shook his head and said: "There are almost a dozen or so in the capital, if you count the hometown, more than thirty can't be stopped...... Ah, what did my aunt say? He reacted.

Princess Tong'an clapped her hands and said, "This palace is talking about the emperor, isn't he your nephew and son-in-law?" Well, just now you said that you were going to break the emperor's legs, and what kind of dog legs did you say, this palace has to go and talk to the emperor about this......"
