1026 Princess Wedding (3)
Looking at his daughter, who was dressed up like a flower, Li Er couldn't help but nod proudly, his own daughter was definitely no worse than other families, when he saw his daughter's smile from his heart, he was happy, and he couldn't help but feel a little more guilty in his heart.
In Li Er's heart, there is a country first, and then a family, for the stability and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, even if he also marries a lot of women from famous families, he has the right to marry a politician, his marriage can be sacrificed, and the happiness of his daughters will naturally not be taken too seriously, most of the princesses are used as political bargaining chips, married to meritorious children or generals of ethnic minorities, never ask them if they are willing, and never consider whether they are happy, even the most favored Li Lizhi is no exception, and he promised to marry the eldest son of the eldest grandson Wuji, Changsun Chong, early.
If Liu Yuan hadn't offered a way to break the "curse" of Tubo in time, it is estimated that he would have been forced to agree to send the princess to Tubo to make peace.
Tiger poison does not eat children, Li Er's originally hard heart was infected by Li Lizhen's angelic smile, and he began to examine himself and ask himself if he should change.
Li Lizhen thanked her again, and the eldest grandson queen pulled her again and asked some things, Li Er knew that the mother and daughter had some nice things to say, smiled slightly, and led people out of Li Lizhen's boudoir, leaving the space for their mother and daughter.
"Did you send someone to read Liu Yuan's holy decree?" Li Erleng might as well ask.
The eunuch who followed him hurriedly responded: "If you go back to the emperor, two quarters of an hour ago, Zhou Shangshu had already gone to Liu's Mansion with the holy decree, and it is estimated that the holy decree has been read out now." ”
"En" Li Er just responded lightly and did not say anything again.
The father-in-law on duty couldn't help but think secretly in his heart: The emperor is really good to the princess and General Liu, looking at the Tang Dynasty, no one can beat it.
Princess Changle was named the eldest princess of Zhengyipin, which was originally a bit overstepping, and it also broke the old system that the princess's food could not exceed 600 households in one fell swoop, reaching as many as 800 households. And the long dowry list is not counted in it, the grace of the princess, and the grace of Liu Jiang are not too much, and they originally planned to seal it again when they welcome their relatives. to show his love for the princess, but the emperor temporarily changed his mind and asked people to announce the decree before Liu Yuan went out.
Although the content of the decree is the same, in terms of time, there is an obvious essential difference between the two things: if it is read before going out, it seems that the two are more paired, and if it is read again at the time of marriage, it gives people a feeling of "relying on women to take the position", and it may also cause a situation of "women are superior to men". Li Er finally gave up this idea, this is the emperor's favor for the two.
At this time, the palace is full of lights, lively and extraordinary, and the palace is only one square away from the Liu Mansion. It is filled with a festive atmosphere, under the auspices of Cui Mengyao, the craftsmen's doors and windows have been repainted, the red lanterns are hung high, and the Liu Mansion is as bright as day, and the smiling faces are like flowers blooming in spring, and all the people in the Liu Mansion have changed into new clothes. waited for the princess to enter the door, but at this moment, everyone knelt on the ground to listen to the order as if they wanted Liu Yuan, the master of the Liu Mansion.
Unlike in the past, the person who read the holy decree at this time was no longer the old acquaintance Huang Gonggong, but Zhou Shishi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. It looks more solemn, and people with a discerning eye know that this holy finger is only afraid that the weight is not light, so they sent officials instead of eunuchs, and this time they went to the Ministry of Rites to read it. It's even more unusual.
When he finished reading the last word, and waited for Liu Yuan and others to return the salute, he sent the holy decree to Liu Yuan, and said with a smile: "General Liu, no, call you Liu Houye better, the emperor is very kind to you, you have to serve this court well and be loyal to the emperor." ”
This time, Li Er made a big deal of money, and in the holy decree, he named Liu Yuan as the general of Yunlu from the third grade, and the general of Yangwei, and the county of Kaiguo, from the third grade, a thousand households in the food town, in addition to the reward of 10,000 taels of gold, jade wall, jewelry, imperial bow, imperial bow, armor, four treasures of the study, etc., so many that Liu Yuan could not count, but the matter of promotion to the rank of lord was heard clearly, and there was no omission.
"Zhou Shangshu taught a great lesson, and Liu kept it in mind." After Liu Yuan finished speaking, he said with some embarrassment: "In the court, there are many offenses to Zhou Shangshu, and please have a lot of them, and don't worry about the juniors." ”
Zhou Shishi waved his hand and said: "The sun will change, the moon will be full, how can there be eternal things in the world, what you said is reasonable, Zhou is rotten, but it is not that it does not change, this matter has passed, we don't want to provide any more, and today General Liu was promoted to the rank of lord and the flower candle in the cave room, and the old man is here to congratulate." ”
"Don't dare, then invite Zhou Shangshu to enjoy his face and eat a glass of water and wine."
"Definitely, definitely, others Zhou Mou will not go, but General Liu has spoken, the old man must have a thick face to beg for a glass of wine" Zhou Shishi said with a smile: "Today is a good day for General Liu, and he will go to greet his relatives in a while, and the old man will go back to restore his life, so he will not stay long and say goodbye." ”
"Zhou Shangshu is going well." Liu Yuan personally sent him out of the mansion and came back.
Sending Zhou Shishi, who had announced the holy decree, away, Liu Yuan wiped his sweat and walked back with a smile on his face.
"General, great, a few levels up at once, they are all third-grade masters."
"Tsk, you see, the purple robes have been delivered, and they are really well prepared."
"Purple clothes are precious, and I feel majestic at first glance."
"The year is only double ten, the official residence is three grades, and he is ranked as a marquis, and the Tang Dynasty is a general."
"He has made so many military exploits and done so many good things for the imperial court, this qiē, General Liu deserves it."
Everyone was boiling, especially Guan Yong and Hou Jun, who were all elated, and they looked happy, as if they were even happier than they were promoted.
Liu Yuan has made countless meritorious contributions, his popularity is wonderful, he has built roads and bridges over the years, given porridge and scattered medicine, etc., and his reputation among the people is also very high, but he has not been rewarded accordingly, and many people feel worthless for him, but Liu Yuan has always been obedient and has no opinions, and everyone is embarrassed to help open his mouth, such a meritorious hero, who has been imprisoned in Yongzhou Mansion and has been put into prison, everyone is unhappy for him from the bottom of their hearts, and feels that the emperor has neglected the heroes, now it is good, the official position and title have been promoted, and there are many rewards, even the most beautiful in the Tang Dynasty, The most temperamental princess was also included in his pocket, and it can be said that she "turned over" and became the master all of a sudden, and everyone was sincerely happy for Liu Yuan.
A person who ascends to the throne with his true ability is worthy of everyone's respect.
"Everyone, rejoice, rejoice." Liu Yuan said with a smile.
Guan Yong said loudly: "My subordinates congratulate the general on his promotion to the rank of knight, general, you can't save this meal." ”
"No problem, take care of it." People like to be in good spirits, and Liu Yuan readily agreed.
"General, we are going to charter the most luxurious restaurant in Pingkangfang this time, and you don't have to be stingy with money and silver." Hou Jun also joked on the side.
People are in good spirits on happy occasions, Liu Yuan has always been stingy, and he waved his hand when he heard the words: "Yes, as long as the brothers like it." ”
All the Yangwei soldiers who came to join in the excitement cheered loudly, their own general was really a bold lord, and Wei Chi Baoqing said excitedly: "Great, it's not in vain that the brothers ran so far to cheer for the general, general, don't worry, you will welcome your relatives in a while, what is the brother is blocking for you." ”
Liu Yuan exchanged a few words with his subordinates, and then walked to Cui Mengyao, Xiao Niang, Du Sanniang and Hu Xin's side, and saw that the four of them were all excited, and they didn't speak for a long time, so they couldn't help but smile and said, "The ladies won't be jealous, right?" ”
"No, no." Xiao Niang hurriedly shook her head and said, "Senior brother, ah, no, Xianggong, Xiao Niang is happy for you from the bottom of my heart." ”
"Yes, the slaves are so excited that they don't know what to say."
Hu Xin, who has always rarely spoken, also said happily: "That's it, promoted to the rank and promoted to the knighthood, and also eats a thousand households, God, just don't do anything, you have no worries about food and clothing in this life, Liu Yuan, you are really amazing, the emperor is so good to you, I used to think that the emperor was unfair in rewards and punishments, but now it seems that the emperor has not forgotten your merits." ”
Liu Yuan smiled, shrouded by the tender gaze of the women, and watched by the eyes of others, the whole person had a feeling of fluttering, in fact, Liu Yuan himself didn't expect Li Er to be so generous, I thought that he would be as usual, just send himself away at will, this time he was promoted and promoted to the knight, there are as many as 1,000 households, and there are a lot of gold taels, gold and silver goods, etc., that is not generous, it is quite generous.
became "your own person", the treatment immediately rose, this is good, he has 1,000 households, and Li Li's food is 800 households, and there are 1,800 households here, on this item, that is, he is no longer an official, and he will not buy and sell, this 1,800 households of food will be enough for Liu Fu's expenses, in addition, Li Lizhi also has a year seal and Lu rice, so that there is another layer of protection.
Anyway, it's good, in this way, it can be regarded as making up for the credit and rewards that you deserved before.
Even Cui Mengyao pulled Liu Yuan's sleeve with a smile and said: "Xianggong, it's good, the founding county waits, from the third grade to the general Yunlu, the concubine is proud and proud of you." ”
Who would have thought that a confused marriage that day would eventually become so magical, it is estimated that someone would calculate that Liu Yuan would be in the third rank and rank among the marquises, and he would definitely be laughed at by others, saying that he was not self-sufficient, but now his maturity has exceeded Cui Mengyao's expectations.
"Without your support, my husband would not have been able to get this far." Liu Yuan said with a smile.
At this time, the housekeeper Liu Quan came over and said with a smile: "Young master, the auspicious time is coming, please take a bath and change clothes, and you will go to the palace to welcome the princess back to the house in a while." ”
Liu Yuan said with some hesitation: "But here"
"Xianggong, go quickly, there are concubines here to watch, nothing happens, don't miss the time." Cui Mengyao said thoughtfully.
Welcoming relatives is a top priority, and it is true that there can be no delay, Liu Yuan nodded, hurriedly returned to the room, and with the help of the stunning maid Dai Lisi, he changed into the groom's clothes prepared in the morning, rode on a tall horse, and took the brothers of the Yang Wei Army to march towards the outside of the city.
