Chapter 270: The Two Guards

Looking at the back of Princess Baling leaving, everyone in the hall showed a knowing smile, and everyone blessed the couple of Chai Lingwu and Princess Baling in their hearts.

Concubine Yang looked at her youngest daughter, Princess Qinghe, and said to Cen Wenwen and Xiao Yu: "Lord Cen, Lord Xiao, Qinghe is also fourteen years old, and it is time to talk about marriage. You know a lot of young people, please choose a good choice in the court, see whose son, age, conduct, and talent are suitable, and help Qinghe choose one. Qinghe is fourteen years old, and it is time to get married. ”

Cen Wenwen and Xiao Yu hurriedly got up, bowed and saluted: "Obey the princess's request!" ”

Princess Qinghe, who was dressed in a red dress, said to Concubine Yang with a blushing face: "Mother, I don't want to get married, I want to accompany my mother for the rest of my life." ”

Concubine Yang scolded with a smile: "Nonsense, how can a woman not marry for the rest of her life? In the future, your future husband is your reliance, how can you accompany your mother for the rest of your life? You are fourteen years old this year, and many girls from noble families of the imperial court who are as big as you already have children and become mothers. Do you want to be like your sister, when you are sixteen years old, you will become an old girl, and you will not marry? ”

Princess Qinghe lowered her head, her face was hot, and she twisted the corners of her clothes, at a loss.

Soon, Cen Wenwen and Xiao Yu got up to say goodbye.

After returning to the mansion, Cen Wenwen and Xiao Yu each spread the news that Princess Qingping deliberately chose a colt.

Soon, the entire Tang Emperor's capital Chang'an City knew that because Princess Qinghe was the daughter of His Majesty the Tang Emperor and Concubine Yang of the West Palace, she had the noble bloodlines of the two royal families of the Tang Dynasty and the Great Sui, and was a veritable noble bloodline, so it immediately caused a sensation in Chang'an City, the capital of the entire Tang Dynasty. Neither Cen Wenwen nor Xiao Yu agreed, they knew that Concubine Yang Niangniang had asked Princess Baling to marry Chai Lingwu, the sister-in-law of Chai Chao's family, the general of Zuojin Wuwei. In fact, through the traditional way of marriage, Chai Shao, the general of Zuojin Wuwei, was drawn into the ranks of supporting Li Ke, the king of Shu, and His Royal Highness the King of Shu and their southern scholars were instantly supported by the army of Zuojin Wuwei led by Chai Shao. And Princess Qinghe chooses a horse, and the person she chooses must be the son-in-law of the general of the Twelve Guards stationed in the imperial capital of Chang'an, or at least the son-in-law of the military general who holds military power, after all, now as Concubine Yang said, what His Royal Highness the King of Shu and the southern scholars lack most is military power and the support of the army.

A political marriage is originally an alliance in which both sides take what they need. Whether it is in Datang. Or the ethnic groups around the Tang Dynasty, they all believe in political marriage. When two parties marry, both parties become each other's staunchest supporters. It's like Chai Lingwu, the sister-in-law of Chai Shao, the general of Zuojin Wuwei, married Princess Baling, the sister of Li Ke, the king of Shu, even if Chai Shao didn't do anything, and didn't support the actual actions of Li Ke, the king of Shu, the whole world, the major wealthy families will naturally classify Chai Shao into the ranks of supporters of Li Ke, the king of Shu, and they will think that Chai Shao is the most staunch supporter of Li Ke, the king of Shu. In this era, everyone believes that political marriage is the best and most effective means of bringing each other closer. In addition to the relationship between father and son, mother and son, and siblings, is there a closer relationship than the relationship between husband and wife? Once the political marriage is made, the interests of the two families become one. Solidarity, weal and woe.

Both Cen Wenwen and Xiao Yu were patiently waiting for the right person to appear, until one person appeared, and the person they knew they were waiting for finally appeared.

That person is His Majesty's henchman of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the general of the Left Army, Cheng Biting Jin.

Cheng bites gold. A native of Shandong, and Qin Qiong, the general of Zuo Xiaowei, was a fellow countryman, when he was young. He is very brave, good at using horse lance, and strong in martial arts. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, in order to protect himself, Cheng Biting Jin summoned Ding Zhuang in the township, joined the Wagang Army of Li Mi in Wagang Mountain, was introduced by Li Mi as a confidant, and awarded him the position of General Longxiang, after Li Mi was defeated, he was forced to surrender Wang Shichong, because he was dissatisfied with Wang Shichong's person, he took refuge in Li Shimin, the then King of Qin in the Tang Dynasty, followed Li Shimin to fight in the south and the north, hit Song King Kong, broke Dou Jiande, captured Wang Shichong, and made great contributions, and the Tang Emperor Li Shimin is a life-changing friendship on the battlefield, and the feelings are deep.

But Cheng Yanjin is a very inferior person, his background is too low, he was a farmer before, and after joining the Wagang Army, he became a bandit again. After decades of hard work, Cheng Yanjin deeply understands a truth: in the world, there are families with a thousand-year-old heritage, but there are no generals with a thousand-year-old heritage.

He has worked hard and passed the test of life and death several times to achieve the position of the general of the Tang Left Army, does he believe that his children and grandchildren will have such opportunities and hardships as him? The position and title of the Tang Dynasty are decreasing step by step with the inheritance, and now he is the Duke of Lu Guogong of the Tang Dynasty, his son can only become the county prince if he has no special military exploits, and his grandson can only become the county duke, and so on, if there is no particularly great military exploits, he can only become the county duke, so five or six generations later, the Cheng family that he painstakingly established can only be reduced to a civilian again, and there is no chance to turn over, and the Hao family is not the same, because the imperial court has been using the official election system is the "Nine Grades Zhongzheng System" in the Cao Wei period, so as long as you are a child of the Hao family, You won't have to worry about not having an official to do. For the prosperity of the Cheng family, Cheng Biting Jin is squeezing his brains and wanting to join the wealthy family.

He once courted the wealthy family of Shandong for his son, and was willing to take out more than half of his property as a dowry to marry a girl from the wealthy family of Shandong, but he was despised by the wealthy family of Shandong on the grounds that his background was too low and he was not worthy of the blood of the wealthy family, and finally became the joke of the entire Tang Dynasty. But Cheng Yanjin still didn't give up, and went around proposing to the major wealthy families for his son, but he was turned away.

Now, Cheng Yanjin heard that Concubine Yang was going to choose a horse for her daughter Princess Qinghe, and Cheng Yanjin suddenly came to her senses. Although Princess Qinghe is not from the eldest grandson empress, and she is not the concubine of His Majesty the Tang Emperor, but after all, Princess Qinghe is the noble blood of Li Shimin, the Tang Emperor of the Longyou Li royal family, who was also born in the Guanlong aristocratic group, and the former Sui Longyou Yang royal family, Yang Concubine Niangniang, who was also born in the Guanlong aristocratic group, so Cheng Yanjin came to Cen Wenwen's mansion impatiently, and asked Cen Wenwen and Xiao Yu to persuade Concubine Yang to marry Princess Qinghe to their Cheng family's sister-in-law, Cheng Chuliang. As long as Princess Qinghe is willing to marry Cheng Chuliang of their family, he is willing to pay any price. (To be continued......)
