Chapter 181: It's Time to Marry a Daughter-in-law!
"The sixth brother must pay attention to one point, regarding the matter of opening martial arts, he must ask for the will from his father, and he must not hand it over to his mother, otherwise even if he can open a martial arts, it will definitely not be us who will benefit in the end. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Looking at Li Xian's villainous face, Li Xian was full of contempt in his heart, but he could only forcibly suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart and advise Li Xian again.
Fortunately, this guy is not stupid to get home, and hurriedly nodded and said: "Seventh brother rest assured, this matter is saved for my brother, and my father's health will be better in the future, I will take advantage of the visit to my father's illness, and I will present my hand to my father, after my father sees it, he will definitely praise all of me, and then immediately approve, in this way, the matter of martial arts is a certainty, today I heard the words of the seventh brother, but the mouth of the brother is suddenly opened, haha, I didn't expect you to not only fight well, but also handle government affairs, As a brother, I really want to be impressed with you. ”
Although Li Xian said this unintentionally, Li Xian could clearly see that this guy's heart was already full of wariness of himself. However, Li Xian didn't want to care about him, after all, this guy couldn't do it for a few years, and the contradictions with Empress Wu would continue to escalate in the future, so he didn't have time to take care of himself.
Not long after seeing Li Xian away, Li Xian just came to his room and wanted to rest for a while, when he suddenly heard the chamberlain Gao Chengyu's report: "King Qiyu, Gonggong Zhang asks to see you." ”
"That Grandpa Zhang?" Li Xian was thinking about Li Xian's affairs in his heart, and he didn't think much about it at all, so he asked casually.
But he heard Gao Cheng say: "It's Zhang Zhong and Zhang Gonggong in the Tianhou Palace." ”
"It turned out to be the personal attendant next to the Empress Wu? I wonder why this man wants to see me? Li Xianyan was shocked when he heard this, but he couldn't guess the purpose of the other party's coming, but he had no choice but to say: "You go to the hall to entertain Grandpa Zhang, and I'll go." ”
Then, Li Xian jumped up from the couch and came to the hall after changing his clothes.
But seeing a white and chubby eunuch talking in the company of Gao Cheng, the eunuch hurriedly stood up after seeing Li Xian, and Shi Li said: "The old slave Zhang Zhonghe has seen the king. ”
Seeing this, Li Xian hurriedly walked a few steps, held his hands weakly, and then returned the courtesy: "Father-in-law Zhang is like this, but he has tormented Xiao Wang, I don't know if Father-in-law Zhang is coming to the cold house, what advice do you have?" ”
But he saw that Zhang Zhonghe said: "I don't dare to give advice, the old slave came to see the king, but it was ordered by the queen of heaven, please go to the palace to meet the queen of heaven quickly, and the queen of heaven has something important to discuss with the king." ”
After finishing speaking, Zhang Zhonghe took out a post, on which was written the edict of the Empress Wu, the content was the same as what Zhang Zhonghe said, but the specific thing was not clear.
Seeing this, Li Xian naturally could only accept the will, but he was still in the clouds, and he didn't know what medicine was sold in the gourd of Wuhou. So he quietly took out a small piece of gold from his sleeve, handed it to Zhang Zhonghe's hand, and then asked with a smile on his face: "I don't know what the Queen of Heaven is calling Xiao Wang?" Can my father-in-law give me a thorough explanation? The kindness of the public will be remembered by Xiao Wang, and he will repay him in the future. ”
Zhang Zhonghe took his hand, and suddenly felt a sinking in his hand, and knew that this piece of gold was fifty taels at least, and his face suddenly showed a satisfied look, and he said with a smile: "This is a good thing for the king, the old slave heard the queen of heaven say, to find a family for the king, on the one hand, the king is also not small, as far as the old slave knows, the king is already twenty this year, right?" This is already relatively big in the imperial family, when Emperor Taizongwen and Empress Wende were married, they were only sixteen years old, and when the emperor and Empress Wang were married today, they were only fifteen years old......"
When Zhang Zhonghe said this, Zhang Zhonghe suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing, and couldn't help but slap his two mouths, and then he said in a curtled voice: "This, this, the queen of heaven said, if the emperor's condition is more serious today, so I hope that the king will agree to this marriage as soon as possible, thinking that the emperor will be happy and make the emperor's illness get better sooner." ”
"I didn't expect it to be such a thing, it scared me a lot, and I thought that some kind of unsightly deed was discovered, but this thing is indeed reasonable, because in the current era, especially as a prince, it is indeed extremely rare for me to be unmarried at the age of twenty, but I don't know which daughter of my mother wants to marry me, if my future wife is her confidant, this is tantamount to installing an eyeliner by my side, so I am afraid that my life will not be easy."
Thinking of this, Li Xian pretended to be full of joy and said: "I really didn't expect the queen of heaven to be so considerate, and the sons are really grateful." By the way, Father-in-law Zhang, do you know which girl the queen mother chose for Xiao Wang? ”
But he heard Zhang Zhonghe arch his hand and said: "Don't hide it from the king, the old slave really doesn't know about this matter, the queen of heaven and her old man has always been far-sighted, how can a superficial person like the old slave understand?" ”
In fact, Zhang Zhonghe's sentence revealed a lot of information, although he did not say the identity of the other party, but from the words of foresight, Li Xian could see that this matter was definitely the result of careful consideration by Empress Wu, and its purpose was nothing more than two kinds, one was to win over and monitor Li Xian, and the second was to divide and disintegrate the alliance between him and Li Xian, so that they would be suspicious of each other and reduce trust between each other.
"No matter which one it is, it's not what I'm willing to accept now, but the queen mother is so strong, it seems that this time even if I don't agree, it's absolutely useless, since that's the case, then I simply accept it, no matter who the other party is, even if it's a sow dominatrix, I can only accept it silently, in fact, this matter is easy to do, I am equivalent to raising an idler at most, and be wary of it, at a critical moment, this person may still be able to be used by me, become my counterpart."
Li Xian thought about it so much, but the only thing he didn't think about was that he would have any feelings with the future princess, anyway, it was just the object of a political marriage, just a pawn for the Empress Wu to spy on him or separate his brotherhood, but he had to accept it, and if he didn't accept it, he had to accept it, how could he manage it so much?
Li Xian came to the palace and met Empress Wu, but found that Empress Wu was talking and laughing with a beautiful middle-aged woman in palace clothes
And Empress Wu was also surprisingly happy today, and when she saw Li Xian coming, she immediately smiled and said to him: "Xian'er, go and see the eldest princess of Changle." ”
Li Xian saw that the woman was about the same age as the Empress Wu at most, and she turned out to be the eldest princess, that is, the aunt of today's son, he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, looked at the other party a few times curiously, and immediately stepped forward to salute according to his words.
"Hehe, Xian'er, you may not know, the eldest princess is the seventh daughter of Emperor Gaozu, although the generation is there, but the age is younger than Wei Niang, the eldest princess of Changle is suitable for Gaozu Chao right to lead the army of the general Zhao Xuan's son Rose, this Zhao Gui is now the captain of the horse, General Zuo Qianniu, is my Tang Dynasty pillar stone, hehe, the eldest princess and the horse have a daughter, now over sixteen years old, named Yinyue, not only looks like a flower and the moon, but also gentle and virtuous, knowledgeable, so for the mother and the eldest princess to discuss, to marry the silver moon to you, my son, You are now twenty years old, it is time to talk about marriage, not to mention that your father is now in trouble, if you can get married, for your father and the emperor to be happy, maybe you can make your father's illness get better sooner, I don't know what my son thinks? ”
"Huh? This, this, Queen Mother, please forgive the child for daring to say, if this is said by generation, should the child call Miss Yinyue an aunt? Hearing such an absurd marriage from Empress Wu, even if Li Xian had no choice but to obey before, now his face was full of shock, and he asked in surprise.
This is really ridiculous, no matter what, the other party is his aunt, her grandfather is his great-grandfather, how can such a relationship be married, from the patriarchal relationship, this is disorder, incest, even from the biology of the later generations, the harm of close relatives marriage is clear to him!
That's why Li Xian asked.
But after hearing this, Empress Wu nodded and said, "You are right, if you are in terms of seniority, you should indeed call Yinyue an aunt, but so what?" As long as she is your wife, she will not bear birth to you in the same way? What's more, with the appearance of Yinyue, you can't find it with a lantern, and you dare to pick and choose here, besides, the seniority or something, it's just a title, what's the difference with cousins and sisters? ”
Hearing this, Li Xian reluctantly discovered that in ancient society, the phenomenon of close relatives marriage seems to be very common, especially marriages between cousins and sisters are commonplace, and to tell the truth, the blood relationship between him and Zhao Yinyue is farther away than that of his cousins, if you talk about it like this, there is really no big problem.
At this time, he heard the martial arts queen continue: "Son, don't be stupid enough to rank seniority, because no matter what kind of seniority, you will always have to give in in terms of monarchs and ministers, for example, in history, isn't there more cases of messing up generations like this?" For example, Liu Ziye of the Southern Song Dynasty (here is the guide to the Song Dynasty), not only fortunately his biological aunt, but even his own sister was included in the palace, and his father, Emperor Xiaowu Liu Jun, did not even let go of his biological mother, and Liu Ying, Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty, married the queen Zhang Yan is the daughter of his sister Princess Lu Yuan, and Liu Xin, the Emperor of Han Mourning, married the niece of the Empress Dowager Fu, and the Empress Dowager Fu is the grandmother of the Empress Dowager, isn't this also marrying an aunt......"
When Li Xian heard these precedents, he suddenly wanted to cry even more, and wailed in his heart: "Who are you talking about? Either the king of the dead country or the notorious tyrant faint monarch, Emperor Hui of Han finally does not belong to these two categories, but is just a puppet emperor, do I Li Xian also want to be like them 'famous in history'? ”
But seeing that Empress Wu's expression was getting more and more severe, Li Xian couldn't help but accept the other party's arrangement, after all, no matter who it was, she was just a nominal woman anyway, and there was no need for her to tear her face with Empress Wu just for such a nominal marriage.
"Since the queen mother has decided, the sons naturally don't dare to have opinions, and everything is only the order of the queen mother." Li Xian, who looked helpless, sighed, saluted the Empress Wu and the eldest princess of Changle, and then fled the palace in embarrassment on the grounds that there was still something important to do.
