A few days ago, Chang'an was turbulent, but Wei Zheng was nowhere to be seen.

It's not that Wei Shizhong has become a quiet beautiful man, but because he is not in Chang'an at all.

At the beginning of the year, Wei Zheng sent an edict to inspect the prefectures in the east of the river, and just returned a few days ago, when he was resting at home, the servants came to report and tourists visited.

Who are the guests? Huaiyang County Bo Xie Yi is also!

Wei Zheng was slightly surprised and slightly abrupt, but there was a guest who came and couldn't turn him away, so he politely asked the servant to invite Xie Yi into the house.

"Xie Yi has seen Wei Gong!"

"Master Xie is polite, please take a seat." Wei Zheng looks serious in the court on weekdays, but in private he is relatively easy, and even has a faint smile.

"If Meng Wei Gong does not give up, Yi Biao will be free." Xie Yi smiled all over his face, and always emphasized through words that this was a private visit, and it was a visit as a courtesy of a junior, which was quite respectful.

Wei Zheng understood in his heart, nodded and said, "Okay, then the old man is welcome, why did you come to visit the old man?" ”

I didn't know what I was trying to do, so I got straight to the point and asked directly.

Xie Yi smiled slightly, bowed down and said sincerely: "Duke Wei, the kid came here to ask you to be a matchmaker......

……

Xie Yi left, and Wei Zheng sat at the table and pondered.

As long as he mentioned it slightly, Wei Gong understood, and it can be said that he suddenly realized.

Wei Zheng had heard about Zheng Liwan visiting the prison in Dali Temple and running around for Xie Yi, and as for the rumors, he might have heard of it. But Wei Zheng, who has always been upright, didn't take it to heart, so that he ignored it a little.

Xie Yi wants to marry Zheng Liwan, this matter is ......

Don't talk about anything else, just talk about the essence of the matter, these two people can really be regarded as talented and beautiful, and they can be called a pair of young people.

I don't know how they got to know each other, and this time they have been in trouble and seen the truth together.

Wei Zheng was not surprised by the marriage, but what surprised him was that Xie Yi came to ask him to be a matchmaker.

Think about it a little. Wei Zheng understood Xie Yi's original intention and intentions, maybe he was really a more suitable matchmaker in this marriage.

Regarding Zheng Liwan's happiness, Wei Zheng did not refuse easily.

After all, it was he who bluntly said back then, and it was originally a good intention to block the emperor's concubine. However, because of Lu Shuang's early death, it was difficult for Zheng Liwan to marry, causing harm and regret.

Wei Zheng apologized for this, but there was no chance of compensation, but this time. The opportunity seems to have come.

In his selfish heart, Wei Zheng is willing to promote this beautiful affair and let Zheng Liwan marry a wishful husband, which can be regarded as making up for the "mistakes" of the past.

Of course, he also knows the difficulty of this matter, and where the difficulty lies, although it is tricky, it is not impossible.

So Wei Zheng didn't refuse, but he didn't agree.

Although Xie Yi kissed. But whether Zheng Liwan really has this intention, this must be confirmed, and she boldly went to propose marriage, in case ...... It's going to be embarrassing.

I don't care. But it will undoubtedly embarrass the two young people, and Wei Zheng is still quite considerate.

For the sake of prudence, he first let his wife go to Zheng's house and visit Zheng Liwan. Ask the woman about her intentions before making a decision.

……

Mrs. Wei went to Zheng's house and came back in less than half a day.

The news brought back made Wei Zheng a little surprised. There is also a slight embarrassment - Zheng Liwan is willing to marry, but she is not willing to be the main room.

"Mrs. Zheng is really strange, she is very satisfied with Master Xie between her words, her face is full of the shyness of her youngest daughter's family, and she can see that she is sincere, and she will never be wrong about this. Just ......"

Mrs. Wei was puzzled: "It's really strange to say, Mrs. Zheng actually said that because she had promised to marry the Lu family, Lu Shuang died early, but she was a widow and should not be the main room."

This is also true, but Zheng Niangzi is unparalleled and doesn't matter. Besides, this kind of thing should be an excuse for the husband's family to be picky, Bachelor Xie didn't mention a word, but Mrs. Zheng herself ......"

"This ......" Wei Zheng listened and sighed: "Zheng Niangzi is really different, she doesn't care about it, but someone is afraid that she will." ”

"Ah Lang means Your Majesty?" Mrs. Wei worried: "After so many years, Mrs. Zheng's affairs will definitely not be able to enter the palace, will Your Majesty still be obsessed?" ”

Wei Zheng said leisurely: "I don't think it's necessarily that Your Majesty is angry, it's that the world thinks it is so, and is timid, so it's ......."

"Your Majesty will be pleased? Ah Lang, can you be a matchmaker in this marriage? Will it contradict and anger Your Majesty again, Empress Wende is gone, and Your Majesty does not seem to be as good as before...... You'd better be cautious. Mrs. Wei seemed to be a little worried, and whispered.

"Don't worry, I know it." Wei Zheng said: "Even if Your Majesty is unhappy in your heart, you will never do anything to me because of this matter?" Not for anyone......

Otherwise, what should the people of the world think of him? For the sake of a woman, rebuke the courtiers? During the Warring States Period, Pingyuan Jun killed his concubine for the sake of his guests, and a clear example was placed there, how could His Majesty stain his name? ”

Mrs. Wei said: "That's the case, I'm afraid that Your Majesty won't cause it now, but ...... afterwards"

"No, Your Majesty is not that kind of person, even if sometimes ...... It doesn't matter, let alone ......"

Wei Zheng said: "When I failed to admit Zheng Nu into the palace, Your Majesty achieved a good reputation; Today's fulfillment of Xie Yi and Zheng Liwan can be a good story, with His Majesty's heart and mind, you should understand. ”

"That's good, you've felt guilty about this over the years, it's a knot in your heart, and it's good that you can untie it this time." Mrs. Wei said: "I still remember the year when Zheng Renji left, and it was not convenient for you to even go to the mourning hall to pay your respects......

Mentioning this, Wei Zheng sighed and said leisurely: "That's it, if you can achieve something good this time, I will personally bring wine to the grave to apologize to him and report the good news." ”

"Okay, it's just that you pay attention to the way, it's not just this thing...... In the future, you must pay attention to the court, and don't anger Your Majesty at every turn. Even if it's not for yourself, you have to think about it for your family and for Shuyu. Mrs. Wei finally seized the opportunity and did not forget to advise.

Wei Zheng said helplessly: "Don't nag anymore, I know." ”

"If you want me to nag, you will take it to heart." Mrs. Wei said leisurely: "This person is a matchmaker, and when he talks about marriage, he will think of his own children.

Our family's Shuyu is not young, and it will be time to get engaged and marry a wife in two years, so you should worry about helping to find a father earlier! ”

"Okay, Shuyu is still young, why ...... hurry?"

"Can you not be in a hurry?" Mrs. Wei complained: "Look at it, the daughter-in-law of the prime minister." Which family doesn't have a princess? Fang Jiaerlang and Du Jiaerlang are still young, but they have decided to marry the princess early.

If it weren't for you confronting Your Majesty all day long and making Long Yan angry, maybe our uncle Yu could also be a concubine......"

Wei Zheng said helplessly: "Now it's for others to be a matchmaker, it's Xie Yi and the Zheng family's daughter talking about marriage, where are you going, it's really ......."

……

Perhaps to escape his wife's nagging, Wei Zheng left home in a hurry.

The destination is the eldest grandson Wuji's mansion, for the marriage of Xie Yi and Zheng Liwan.

Wei Zheng thought about it carefully, and there was no problem in being a matchmaker himself. But the safest way is for the emperor to give marriage. This is good for themselves, and even more beneficial for Xie Yi and Zheng Liwan.

But this matter cannot be directly sparse, or reported to the emperor in person, no matter what, you can't go open, you have to tell the emperor in a more euphemistic way.

Speaking of euphemism, is there a more suitable candidate than the eldest grandson Wuji?

As the uncle of the country, the eldest grandson Wuji is particularly unique in the court and the emperor's heart, not to mention that there is a good daughter-in-law Princess Changle at home.

The hereditary assassination of the children of the noble heroes has caused a lot of trouble. No matter how the eldest grandson Wuji persuaded him, it was useless, but Princess Changle entered the palace and persuaded him gently, and the problem was solved.

Of course, there is an element of "double reed", and Wei Zheng knows this. But the many advantages of the Changsun Mansion are indisputable facts.

I don't envy it, but when necessary, I have to use it.

After hearing Wei Zheng's intention, the eldest grandson Wuji hesitated slightly. But in the end, he nodded yes.

He may not be willing to take care of Xie Yi and Zheng Liwan's affairs, but it is Wei Zheng who is speaking now. Nature can't refuse. The Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and it is too difficult to want Wei Zheng to owe a favor!

It's hard to stay at such an opportunity, how could the eldest grandson Wuji miss it? Not to mention friendship, at least you can't offend the first minister of the dynasty, this is for the consideration of the eldest grandson's family, but also for the nephew of the eldest grandson's family.

What's more, he just conveyed that the matchmaker was still him, Wei Zheng, and it was His Majesty Li Er who made the decision.

Whether things work out or not has nothing to do with you, and human favors can still fall, so why not do it?

Therefore, the eldest grandson Wuji did not refuse, and the next day he took the time to enter the Chengqing Hall of Taiji Palace.

It has always been easy for Uncle Eldest Sun to enter the palace, and it is easier and more common to get along with His Majesty Li Er in private, and it is also convenient to talk about such "private matters".

"Your Majesty, Wei Zheng went to the minister's mansion yesterday and mentioned one thing."

Li Shimin immediately said: "What's the matter? Say, you don't have to go around the bush. ”

"Sure enough, I can't hide anything from Your Majesty." The eldest grandson Wuji suddenly smiled.

"What? What are you hiding from me? His Majesty Li Er immediately said a "heart-punishing" rhetorical question.

The eldest grandson Wuji said "hurriedly": "The minister doesn't dare." ”

Li Shimin smiled: "I know you don't dare, don't forget that we have known each other since childhood, what are you thinking and I don't know?" Say, what is Wei Zheng looking for you? It's a novelty that he actually has something to ask you for, and I'm really interested in hearing it. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said leisurely: "Wei Zheng recently promised to be a matchmaker for people......"

"Matchmaking? Who is matchmaking for? And what does it have to do with you and me? Li Shimin frowned slightly, and couldn't help but wonder.

"That's the case, Xie Yi went to visit Wei Zheng and asked him to be a matchmaker and go to Zheng Mansion to propose ......"

Although the eldest grandson Wuji's words were not very clear, and some words were even unclear, Li Shimin understood it in an instant.

Xie Yi wants to marry Zheng Liwan and ask Wei Zheng to be a matchmaker!

In an instant, Li Shimin was slightly stunned, then understood, and then his doubts were relieved, this matter was not completely unrelated to him.

"What? What do Xie Yi and Wei Zheng mean? Li Shimin asked in a deep voice, although there was no smile on his face, but there was no anger.

The eldest grandson Wuji said softly: "Xie Yi doesn't know what he means, but he can ask Wei Zheng to be a matchmaker, he must be serious...... As for Wei Zheng......"

"How is Wei Zheng? Since he agreed, why don't you be a matchmaker, what are you going to do? Li Shimin seemed to ask a little knowingly, but he seemed to have doubts.

"This ......" the eldest grandson Wuji said: "Wei Zheng didn't say it explicitly, but what he said meant was probably that he wanted to ask His Majesty for marriage." ”

"Marriage? Hum! Li Shimin smiled coldly, and then said: "Auxiliary, what do you think of this?" ”

"Uh, this ......"

"It's okay, you say!" Li Shimin pretended to reprimand: "Look at you, you are timid, Guanyin was very generous back then, how could she ever be as ...... as you"

"Yes!" The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks ...... Wei Zheng means to approve of this marriage, after all, the rumors of Xie Yi and Zheng Liwan these days are not to be said, and the visit to the prison in Dali Temple is indeed a matter, so the rumors are not groundless...... Young men and women, talented and beautiful, it is also a good thing to talk about marriage......"

"And then?" Li Shimin continued to ask.

"Then ......" the eldest grandson Wuji said: "Wei Zheng means, he is not as good as His Majesty to give marriage, after all, back then...... In this way, it can appear that His Majesty is broad-minded, so as not to be misunderstood and damage His Majesty's holy virtues, and it will also be a good story. ”

Li Shimin frowned and said, "Don't keep using Wei Zheng's meaning, you think the same way, right?" ”

"Uh......" The eldest grandson Wuji nodded lightly and said leisurely: "Your Majesty has never prevented Zheng Nu from marrying over the years, but the people of the world are stupid and self-deceived, self-righteous, so that all kinds of rumors ......

Now is a good opportunity to dispel rumors, and the people of the world should see His Majesty's sage and the same broad mind as the territory of the Tang Dynasty. ”

"Well, I don't have to use these words to gag my mouth." Li Shimin frowned and said: "That time is different from now, the queen is gone, next to ...... I don't care.

Zheng Liwan...... Although it wasn't all because of me, it was delayed for several years after all, and it wasn't good, and now it's good to get married...... It's cheap Xie Yi, or maybe it's compensated for him entering Dali Temple......"

"Your Majesty agreed?"

"Do you think I'm going to object?" Li Shimin frowned, and said unhappily: "A talented woman is a good woman, and a good couple is natural, but it is also a good story." I have fulfilled him, and he should know more about gratitude in the future. ”

"Xie Yi will definitely miss His Majesty Longen, but there is a special circumstance...... "The eldest grandson Wuji whispered: "Zheng Liwan claimed that because of Lu Shuang's early death, he was widowed and looked at the door, so it was not suitable for the main room ......"

"Let Zheng Liwan be a concubine, Xie Yi also means this?" Li Shimin's brows suddenly furrowed, and he seemed to suddenly have anger on his face.

It was Zheng Niangzi who proposed it herself, but Xie Yi did not say this...... Your Majesty is angry. The eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly explained and comforted softly.

Li Shimin still had doubts: "Zheng Liwan proposed it herself? Why did she have to wronged herself like this? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "I don't know, but this is something that Mrs. Wei has personally asked and confirmed, and there will be no mistake in thinking about it." Wei Zheng didn't dare to decide on his own, I'm afraid it was also for a reason. ”

"Anyway, Zheng Liwan is not suitable for a concubine, and I can't see this move."

"But this is Zheng Niangzi's own request......"

Li Shimin frowned, as if he was hesitating......

At this moment of hesitation, the eldest grandson Wuji said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Zheng only said that it was not the main room, but she did not say that it must be a concubine......
