Xiao Yu said on the side: "Does Su Ge Lao mean that His Royal Highness the King of Qi has not been able to set the name of the country for a long time?" ”

"I don't mean more than that. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Su Wei shook his head, and said slowly: "One is the old and the other is new, remove the old country name and replace it with the new country name, but I think how to get rid of the old country name is really a difficult point." ”

Everyone understood what Su Wei meant, in order to win the hearts of the people of the world, they continued to retain the national name of Sui, and made Empress Xiao the queen mother to show that they were the authentic Sui Dynasty.

In the Northern Sui Dynasty, Zhang Xuan's identity was a courtier, although he was already the king of Qi, he was still a courtier, how to change from a courtier to an emperor, this has been a difficult problem since ancient times.

Li Yuan and Wang Shichong both used the method of Zen concession to seize the throne from the acting king Yang Yu and the king of Yue Yang Tong respectively, and the Northern Sui was a little better than them, and the queen mother could announce the retreat of the Northern Sui, and at the same time, a small Zen concession ceremony could also be held to invite the little emperor out and officially cede the throne to Zhang Xuan.

But Zen is by no means a panacea for changing dynasties, such as Wang Mang usurped the Western Han Dynasty, using the Zen way, Cao Pi usurped the Eastern Han Dynasty with the same Zen way, but it has been despised by the world for thousands of years, the fundamental reason is two, one is to replace the orthodox Han family with a small dynasty, which is unacceptable, and the second reason is to replace the monarch as a courtier, which is also disgusting.

Because the Sui Dynasty was short-lived, perhaps the first factor had little impact, but the criticism of the second factor as a vassal for the monarch was unavoidable.

This is a problem that everyone understands, and it is also the problem that they are meeting to solve today.

Wei Yunqi frowned and said: "Although there is no problem with Chan Rang legally, it is a little lacking in morality, after all, we have all accused Li Yuan and Wang Shichong of usurping the Great Sui River and Mountains many times, but we have also taken this step ourselves, and it is a little difficult to explain to the people of the world, I am afraid that His Royal Highness himself will not be able to accept it." ”

Everyone was silent, this is indeed a big problem, we must find a way to eliminate King Qi's moral guilt, legally feasible, morally blameless, and the matter will be complete, but ...... What is the solution?

At this time, Xiao Yu smiled slightly: "I thought of a good way!" ”

Everyone was overjoyed and said in unison: "What is the best way?" ”

Xiao Yu smiled mysteriously, "Since ancient times, what is the best way to form an alliance between countries?" ”

"Marriage!" Du Ruyan blurted out.

"That's right, it's a marriage, do you think of someone?"

Everyone laughed heartily, and they immediately thought of Yang Ji'er, the princess of Guangling, who was difficult to marry, the favorite daughter of Emperor Yang Guang.

Su Wei patted his forehead and sighed, "Why didn't I think of it!" Let His Royal Highness the King of Qi become the son-in-law of the Sui Dynasty and take over the Sui Dynasty as a son-in-law, rather than as a courtier, so that the moral problem is solved. ”

"I'm afraid that Princess Guangling will not!" Lu Chu was a little worried.

"It's up to her!"

Su Wei immediately decided: "Her marriage is related to the establishment of Xinsheji, this is her fate, she is destined to be the concubine of the new dynasty, I will go to talk to the Queen Mother early tomorrow morning, and then ask the Queen Mother to talk to the princess." ”

Xiao Yu also smiled: "I will accompany Su Xiangguo tomorrow." ”

........

The next morning, in the Qingliang Pavilion of Ziwei Palace, Empress Dowager Xiao met with Xiangguo Su Wei and Xiao Yu, as the nominal ruling empress dowager of the Northern Sui Dynasty, Empress Xiao also had a lot of things that she needed to come forward, such as presiding over the New Year's court, attending certain ceremonies with the princess when the regent was not in the capital, and so on.

It is also a common thing to meet with ministers, and Empress Xiao met with Su and Xiao today, and still thought that she needed to make a decree, but Su Wei actually put forward a proposal for Zhang Yang to marry, suggesting that Princess Guangling marry His Royal Highness the Regent.

How shrewd Empress Xiao was, she immediately realized that Zhang Xuan was going to ascend the throne and become emperor, which was obviously a foreshadowing for the enthronement of the emperor, of course, Empress Xiao also knew that this day would come sooner or later, she was psychologically prepared, but Empress Xiao did not care about the rise and fall of the Sui Dynasty, in her heart, the Sui Dynasty had perished after the Yangzhou Mutiny.

She cares about her own fate, whether she can continue to enjoy glory and wealth in the second half of her life, she is most afraid that Zhang Xuan will be beaten into the cold palace after she ascends the throne, or move her out of the palace, so that she will spend the second half of her life in poverty, for the glory and wealth of the second half of her life, Empress Xiao even did not hesitate to use her glamorous color that has not faded to seduce Zhang Xuan.

Although Zhang Xuan personally gave her a promise, but after all, it was only a private promise between the two, not a legal guarantee, Zhang Xuan can change his hexagram at any time, but if his daughter marries Zhang Xuan, it is a kind of etiquette.

Su Wei's marriage proposal, how could Empress Xiao be unwilling, at this time, Empress Xiao couldn't care about her daughter's attitude, she was afraid that she would hesitate, and this opportunity would slip out of her hands, she immediately smiled happily: "Xiangguo has such a good intention, how can the mourning family not agree?" This is a good thing, and the mourning family will definitely cooperate with Ziwei Pavilion. ”

Su Wei was overjoyed, he didn't expect the Queen Mother to agree so happily, this is a good sign, Xiao Yu on the side smiled silently, he understood his sister's thoughts, and knew that she would definitely agree.

Su Wei hurriedly said: "Since the Queen Mother has agreed, then without further ado, please ask the Queen Mother and the princess to talk about this matter." ”

Empress Xiao thought for a while and said, "I can talk to the princess, but it's best that Ziwei Pavilion can think of a way to reveal the meaning of this matter to the princess first, and then I can talk to her again." ”

Su Wei and Xiao Yu glanced at each other, the queen mother's suggestion is also reasonable, it is indeed necessary to let the princess understand the difficulties of His Royal Highness King Qi's accession to the throne first, so as not to get stuck in the marriage with the princess, Xiao Yu said in a low voice: "This matter can allow the Lu family to come forward." ”

Su Wei nodded, "Alright! I'll go talk to Lu Zhuo, the Queen Mother, and the princess will trouble the Queen Mother to persuade her a lot. ”

Empress Xiao also felt a big head, every time she talked to her daughter about marriage issues, it would end in a big quarrel, but there was no way, even if she was forced this time, she had to be allowed to agree, and she would never let her temperament do it again.

Of course, Empress Xiao also cares about her daughter's marriage, but she cares more about her fate than her daughter's marriage.

.........

Su Wei and the two said goodbye and left, Xiao Hou thought about it, then got up and went to Biyun Pavilion, Jade Pavilion is the residence of Yang Jier, the princess of Guangling, Yang Jier has been naughty and active since she was a child, like a boy like swords, and later under the influence of her father, she also liked to read, and occasionally she would smear a few danqing when she was interested, and the thing she hated the most was to do embroidery and embroidery brocade and other female red, so there was never anything like embroidery needles in her room, only piles of books like a hill and various swords.

As she gets older, Yang Jier's marriage problems have also begun to become the most annoying thing for her, she is eighteen years old, eighteen years old is still a normal marriage age for a poor woman, but for a noble woman, eighteen years old is too old, generally fifteen or sixteen years old is the most suitable, thirteen or fourteen years old is a little earlier, seventeen years old is barely suitable, but eighteen years old is a little late, if you haven't married after the age of twenty, either you can only lower the conditions on the door, or you can only marry a widowed man.

Although it is said that the emperor's daughter is not worried about getting married, but Yang Jier's emperor's father has been dead for many years, and her so-called princess status is only a name, and she is also a princess of a dead country, many famous families are more taboo, Yang Jier's best chance is to marry Zhang Qinian, the second son of Zhang Xuansu, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, who was admitted to the Jinshi this year and was appointed as the county magistrate of Huiji County, and Yang Jier will also be the county commander or Mrs. Taishou in the future.

But Yang Jier didn't agree, and she didn't even go to the banquet held by the Zhang family for her, which made everyone very unhappy, and the marriage didn't work, Zhang Qinian married the daughter of the Lu family of Wu County as his wife, Yang Jier and his mother almost turned their faces for this matter, and later had several marriage opportunities, but even Empress Xiao couldn't look down on it, so after Yang Jier once again expressed her resolute unwillingness attitude, Empress Xiao was not reluctant.

Yang Ji'er spent most of the time with Princess Qi, either learning swords from Wu Niang, or studying with Pei Zhizhi, only when she was sleepy at night, she would go back to Biyun Pavilion to rest, and then run away the next day, Empress Xiao couldn't remember how long she hadn't seen her daughter.

As soon as Empress Xiao walked to the door of Biyun Pavilion, she saw her daughter wearing a white samurai suit and carrying a sword in her hand, and she was rushing out, and Empress Xiao knew that she was going to Princess Qi again, so she smiled and said, "I'll go later, I have something important to talk to you about my mother." ”

"Mother, I have made an appointment with Wu Niang."

"We have to wait for the appointment time, it's very important, we have to talk about it now."

"Mother, what's the matter?"

"Just follow me."

Yang Jier had no choice but to hand the sword to the palace maid and follow her mother back to the room.

Xiao Hou came to Tingyuxuan, this is Yang Jier's study and studio, the two palace maids are cleaning up the room, Xiao Hou waved his hand, "You all go down!" ”

The two palace maids bowed and retreated. (To be continued.) )
