Chapter 317: Marriage
(Thank you 18991899 for your support, thank you)
"Does the Supreme really plan to marry Sumeru without a ugly child?" Empress Dugu felt that the emperor was really in a hurry, she had just probed in front of Yang Lin before, but King Zhao didn't show any of her words. Originally, she planned to take advantage of the royal family's gathering in King Zhao's Mansion today, and by the way, first meet the daughters of the princesses' marriageable and unmatched families with their grandchildren, and then ask their grandchildren how they feel. Who knows, just because Yuwen Yubo said a few words just now, Yang Jian chose Wu Wu'er to marry King Zhao. This is too casual, even if you want to give marriage, at least you have to look at it.
"Queen, didn't you just hear Yubo say that Sumeru and Wu Chou'er hit it off at first sight, and took the initiative to talk to her for a long time. Besides, Wu Chou'er is sixteen this year, and she has not yet been married, and she is the best choice in terms of character and appearance, so it is just right to marry her to King Zhao. Sumeru is our eldest grandson, and Wu Chouer is also our niece, their cousins and sisters are just right, and Li Changya, the princess of Xiangguo, is also from a famous family, and is the grandson of Li Bi of the Eight Pillars Kingdom. I see, this matter is settled, my cousin marries my aunt and cousin, and I kiss and kiss each other. Yang Jian said with a smile.
"Then you have to ask Wu Chou'er if he is willing. We are not ugly, whether it is population, appearance or even female talent, everything is superior, but there is a little bit of a soft personality on the outside and a strong temperament on the inside. If she didn't want to, the nine cows wouldn't be able to pull it back. ”
"Is there a more suitable man in this world than Sumeru? How could she not want to? Wasn't the two of them chatting happily in that pavilion just now, talking and laughing. I think they are very compatible, although Sumeru grew up in the people. But he knows more about warmth and cold, and he has no ugliness to marry. That is the dignified Princess Zhao. I cherish this niece, and we Sumeru will never treat her badly. Yubo just said it all. Sumeru's cousin is very good, if it weren't for the fact that Wuchou'er had a good conversation with Sumeru, she would have wanted to marry Sumeru. Yang Jian laughed, he didn't pay attention to the queen's worries at all, the marriage of children has always been the words of the matchmaker, the life of the parents. Although he is not Sumeru's father, he is Sumeru's grandfather and the emperor. Of course, he has more say in the marriage of the emperor and grandson. "What's more, the prince and the princess of Xiangguo are very happy with this marriage."
Princess Xiangguo replied with a smile: "My daughter also likes Sumeru, this child is also very fond of Sumeru, he speaks wittily and acts steadily, although he has been reckless among the people, but he reveals a royal demeanor everywhere, if he can marry Sumeru, I will naturally like it with confidence." "Princess Xiangguo is indeed in favor of this family affair in her heart, and her cousin is married to her cousin. Not to mention kissing and kissing, and now King Zhao is deeply favored, the only one among the emperors and grandsons who has made an exception to be crowned king, and he has become one of the five chief stewards before he is twenty years old. Look at the momentum. The emperor intended to make this nephew the heir of the East Palace. After her daughter got married, she directly became a princess, not to mention, and she may be able to become a princess and queen in the future.
"Erchen also thinks this family business is good." The prince didn't look down on Yang Lin's goodness. But on such an occasion, he didn't dare to speak out, so he could only nod his head against his heart.
"But Wuchou'er is still a little younger. It was only sixteen after the New Year. "Queen Dugu said. She actually prefers Princess Guangping's daughter Yuwen Yubo, this niece is seventeen. Next year will be eighteen. He is older than Wuchou'er, and he is more lively, and his body bones look bigger than Wuchou'er, especially Yubo's ass is bigger, and he is already rich in breasts and fat buttocks at the age of seventeen, and he has a bit of Yuwen family blood, tall and plump, and he will definitely be able to give birth to children after getting married in the future. Sumeru is the eldest grandson of the royal family, and the princess she married gave birth to a son-in-law, so of course she hopes that there will be more great-grandchildren.
"It's not small, it's sixteen after the New Year, and the geranium has been here a few years ago." Generally speaking, a woman has menstruation around the age of fourteen, which means that she can conceive, which also marks her entry into adulthood. The girl who is about to be sixteen is of course fully mature and ready to marry according to today's custom. This is also the unification of the world in recent years, the four sides are peaceful, and the people are gradually getting married later, if in the troubled times, many people are married at the age of thirteen or fourteen. In order to increase the population, some dynasties even stipulate that women who are not married at the age of 15 will have to pay an extra sum of money at home, or even simply be designated by the government to marry and forcibly marry.
Princess Xiangguo also said: "You can get engaged first, and then officially get married next winter, even if you wait until you are eighteen years old to get married, it will only take a year or two." ”
"That's it." Yang Jian said with a smile.
"I have to ask King Zhao what he means, if he has a phase, then he can't be wronged."
"Then summon Wu Chou'er to come and ask, if she herself is willing to marry Sumeru, it will naturally be the best. If I don't want to, I won't force the bull's head, and then I will find another woman to promise Sumeru. ”
The daughter of the princess of Xiangguo and the concubine Li Changya has no ugly, her maiden name is Li Liyi, her name is Sujun, and her nickname is Wuchouer. Fifteen years this year, sixteen years later. Long and slim, tall and slender, with clean skin and white face, black hair, two willow eyebrows, apricot eyes and cherry mouth, full of everyone's beautiful demeanor. Hearing the call, he came and stood before the crowd.
"Wu Chou'er, the Supreme wants to marry you to King Zhao, are you willing?" Queen Dugu asked with a smile.
"Ahh Wu Ugly's face was red to the base of her neck, how could she have expected that she would be asked such a question in public, how dare she speak for a while.
"Sister Su Jun must be willing, my sister and King Zhao didn't want to be separated when they talked about it just now." Yuwen Yubo said with a smile on the side, in fact, she took the initiative to pull her cousin over to find her cousin Zhao Wang just now. It is not a big secret that the emperor and empress want to choose a concubine for King Zhao, Yuwen Yubo's mother, Princess Guangping, has already known about it, and even wants to marry her daughter to King Zhao to achieve a good marriage. Therefore, before coming today, Princess Guangping had already explained to her daughter that she had told her daughter many benefits of marrying King Zhao as a concubine in front of her daughter Yubo, so that she could take the initiative to make a good impression in front of King Zhao first. Then she went to beat the side drum in front of the Queen Mother, and tried to find a way to make the matter a success. Yuwen Yibo was still a little resistant to this matter at first. After all, I heard that this cousin of King Zhao lived in the people in his early years, and he used to be a horse thief. Therefore, I feel that this cousin must not be in line with the image of her husband. I was going to be just perfunctory, but who knew that after arriving at Zhao Wang Bepfu, I unexpectedly found that Zhao Wang Yushu was in the wind, graceful, and extraordinary, and even more than one and a half stars stronger than his two elder brothers Li Yigong Li Yi and the two gentlemen, and he was a little moved at the moment. However, he was embarrassed to go directly to talk to King Zhao, so he pulled his second aunt, Princess Xiangguo's cousin, Su Jun, over.
Who knows, as soon as they meet, they declare their identity. After chatting for a few words, this cousin of King Zhao immediately chatted with her cousin Su Jun, who she had brought to accompany her. Listening to them chatting about the novels and poems of the Three Kingdoms of the Red Mansion, Yuwen Yubo wanted to interject but couldn't find a chance. She usually doesn't like these poems and songs at all, and prefers sports like horseback riding, ballfighting, hunting, and archery. At this time, I couldn't help but regret it, it would be nice to read more books at ordinary times, and I wouldn't be able to just watch them talk more and more happily at this time. When she came back, she pretended to mention the matter to the emperor and empress inadvertently, in fact, she wanted to take the opportunity to sue her cousin and say bad things about her cousin. Destroying the image of her cousin, saying that she is not as reserved as everyone's daughter, and is too casual. Who knew that as soon as she said this, the emperor directly wanted to marry King Zhao without ugly children. She hated to shoot herself in the foot. Now I am very unwilling, and when I seize some opportunities, I will unceremoniously fall into the well. She is naturally happy to be able to yellow this good thing.
"Sister talking nonsense." Li Liyi didn't know how to tell the truth. She has always loved to read, and she can also do some poetry and songs. When I have nothing to do, I read at home, read books, play the piano, or embroider and do some needlework. I don't like to be with my cousin Yuwen Yubo and a group of wealthy daughters like men, often dressed as men, riding horses in groups, taking family servants out of the city to hunt or hitting balls on the court, and indulging in play. Originally, when Yuwen Yubo pulled her to talk to King Zhao just now, she was still a little reluctant. It's just that it's not good to refuse to be accompanied.,Who knew that after meeting, I actually talked about the newspaper of Huaihuang.,As well as those poems and novels published in the newspaper.,I couldn't help but be excited for a while.,Excitedly let go and chatted more.。
"Then you don't want to?" Princess Guangping hurriedly asked. She didn't expect that her daughter Yubo and her second sister's daughter Liyi met with King Zhao together, but it turned out that Liyi, who had always been introverted and shy, had a good time talking with King Zhao, and her daughter became a foil. Now she wished that Liyi was embarrassed and said that she didn't want to, and she could immediately introduce her own daughter to the emperor and empress to replace her.
"I heard that King Zhao married the princess Gao of Northern Qi as his wife, and King Zhao also likes Gao very much." Li Liyi lowered her head and looked left at him, she didn't know why, when her aunt asked her if she was unwilling to marry King Zhao, she didn't directly answer yes in the affirmative. But the ghost made a god to talk about this, and as soon as the words came out, she couldn't help but turn crimson, knowing that she had unconsciously revealed her heart in front of everyone. Sure enough, as soon as her words came out, the emperor and empress and several princesses couldn't help but smile on their faces, but Princess Guangping had a very ugly smile on her face.
Yang Jian was immediately happy, his niece's words were too obvious, and he was not against marrying King Zhao in his heart. smiled at the moment: "There is no need to worry about these worries, I have already decreed before, Feng Gao and Murong are Zhao Wanghuan, and Feng Yuan's Chen and Xiao are Zhao Wangmei." If you agree to this marriage, then when you get married, you will be a wife, and the rest will be just concubines. ”
The queen also followed: "No ugly child, if you marry in the past, you will be Princess Zhao, the heroine, the eldest woman, your child is the concubine, you don't have to worry about the rest." ”
"Now, what do you have to say?" Yang Jian asked again.
Li Liyi was full of shyness at this time, she couldn't say the word anyway, and finally had to bow her head shyly, not daring to look at everyone at all, but said softly: "Marriage is a major event, I must wait for my parents' orders, and the words of the matchmaker, how can I make my own decisions without ugliness." ”
Although this sentence does not directly agree, it is equivalent to agreeing.
Yang Jian laughed and said, "It's done, I'm in charge for you." ”
In the study of King Zhao's mansion, Yang Jian summoned Yi Feng alone.
"You've seen a few of your aunt's cousins today, right?" Yang Jian asked casually.
Yi Feng nodded, today is a royal gathering, and there are more than a dozen princesses here. Four of them were sisters-in-law of the emperor, and five were daughters of the emperor. There were also many granddaughters of emperors. Anyway, whether it is the emperor's sister, daughter or granddaughter, they are all called princesses. At this time, the princess is called. There is no general norm as in later generations, what emperor sisters are called eldest princesses, emperor's daughters are called princesses, emperor's granddaughters are called county kings, and county kings' daughters are called county lords. In fact, although they are both called princesses, there are still some differences. For example, the emperor's daughter is a county, so it is also called a county princess, and the prince's daughter is a county or yi. It is also called the princess of Yi or the princess of the county, but in the custom, it is called the princess. I have seen a lot of all kinds of princesses, and of course, the cousins of those princesses and aunts have also seen a lot.
"And what do you think of the ugliness?" Yang Jian asked straight to the point.
"Cousin Wu'er likes literature, is a talented girl, has a gentle personality, and can be called a model of a royal princess." For this cousin who has a very peculiar nickname, Yi Feng has a good impression. People are very gentle and beautiful, not to mention, what is even more rare. As the daughter of a princess, there is no coquettishness on her body, and what is even more rare is that she is still a literary young woman. and those romance novels written in popular language in the newspaper, what can still be said is the Tao, which really makes Yi Feng sigh. In this day and age, it is difficult to find someone with similar interests, and it is even more difficult to find a girl with a common language.
"Oh. It turned out that Yubo said that you talked about it very similarly, but I still didn't believe it. Now it seems that this is the case. In this case, I plan to add the name of the princess of Wuqiu'er County and give you a marriage. ”
Yi Feng was not surprised at all, he probably wanted to say this when he heard Yang Jian ask his cousin about it just now. It's just a little surprising that the emperor and queen are so anxious, and they only mentioned the matter of choosing a concubine half a day ago, and this is a lot of effort, they have already chosen for themselves, and this is about to be married. This is simply a flash marriage even more than the flash marriage of later generations.
"Your Majesty, the marriage is a big event, and it can't be a child's play, whether to give the minister more time to think about it. Besides, my cousin has only just met the minister once, so how can she decide on a marriage? ”
Yang Jian stroked his beard, "The matter of marriage, the order of your parents, the words of the matchmaker, no ugly child has already seen you and talked to you, it means that you are very fateful." Su Jun and your aunt and uncle have all agreed to this matter, and I and the queen have also agreed, what are you hesitating about, do you think Su Jun is not worthy of you? ”
Yi Feng only knew at this time that there was no ugly cousin Xiaozi Sujun, but according to the custom at this time, this cousin's maiden name is unknown without a matchmaker, and she must be known by the guò matchmaker, and her maiden name will be known after being engaged. The emperor has now revealed all his cousin's words, and it seems that he has made up his mind on this mandarin duck score.
Yi Feng bowed and replied: "Cousin Wuchou'er has both virtue and knowledge, talent and appearance, but the grandson is now full of Youzhou's affairs."
"It's naturally good to worry about state affairs, but you can't delay family affairs." Yang Jian smiled as he spoke, "Since you also think Su Jun is good, then you don't have to pick and choose, I will marry Su Jun to you." When I turned around, I asked the Ministry of Rites to pick an auspicious day for the zodiac, and set the marriage this year, and then officially marry after next autumn. ”
Yi Feng could see that Yang Jian was just here to inform him, how could he really ask his opinion at all, and he couldn't even object to refuse.
"Su Jun, this child is very good, good temperament, although he is my niece, the daughter of the princess, and his father is the grandson of Li Bi of the Eight Pillars Kingdom, and the famous lord of the Li family in Beijing, but there is no arrogance in his body, if you marry her back, the family will be peaceful in the future, wouldn't it be good." Besides, now that you are back in Youzhou, you need help by your side. In that little old department where you are in Huaihuang, how many people are really available. This time, I first set up a family affair with Su Jun, and when I turned back, I could let the Li family and the Yuan family bring a group of capable people to help each other. The wife's family and uncle's family are always credible and usable. Otherwise, just with the little bit of old ministry you have in your arms, how can you control such a big mess in Youzhou Mansion?" Yang Jian said carefully to Yi Feng, in fact, he was in a hurry to give Yi Feng a concubine to marry, and there was also a big reason to find a strong help for his grandson. Today's grandson, although he is the king of Zhao and worships the general manager, there is no one available around him at all, except for the nostalgic old department, there is only one Yuan clan that is used, but unfortunately the Yuan clan has also been suppressed over the years. Because of this, Yang Jian wanted to take away Gao Qianxue's position as his wife, and he wanted to choose a powerful wife for him to help. Speaking of which, the most powerful gate valves in the court at this time should be the Li, Wei, Yu, and Yang families, but the Li family is too powerful, even if they marry them, the Li family may not be able to really help Yang Lin, and Yang Jian actually does not want to see the powerful Li family and his grandson Yang Lin marry, their union is a great threat to the imperial power. The Wei family is also in a similar situation, and the Wei family has already made a deal to marry a daughter to King Yuzhang, the second son of King Jin, and is engaged to marry the daughter of the crown prince Yang Yong, and is even talking about giving a daughter to the prince and the son of the Yun family as a concubine. The Wei family is too deeply entangled with the royal family, and the power is too strong, and Yang Jian doesn't want Yang Lin to marry the daughter of the Wei family again. The Yu family has no suitable woman, and the Yang family is because the royal family is also surnamed Yang, and it is not good to marry with the same surname. Going back and forth, Yang Jian finally chose the daughter of the princess of Xiangguo for his grandson, although the princess of Xiangguo is also married to the Li family, but this Li family is the Li Bi family of the Eight Pillars Kingdom, not the Li Mu family. Although in the Western Wei Dynasty, Li Bi was one of the Eight Pillar Kingdoms, and the Li Mu family, like the Yang family, was only one of the twelve generals at that time. But in the Sui Dynasty, the Li Mu family was the most powerful gatekeeper, and the Li Bi family was relatively weak. Li Bi's family has many children and grandchildren, but it lacks enough prestige leaders. Let his grandson Yang Lin marry Li Changya's daughter, just with the help of the Li family's strength, and there is no need to worry too much about the situation.
Yang Jian has worked hard for this.
"You previously recommended Wang Bao to replace you as the governor of Wuzhou, and I agreed. In addition, if you go back and draw up a list, you can recommend some of the candidates you think are suitable to me, and I will consider them carefully. At present, there are a large number of vacancies in the Youzhou Governor's Mansion, and if the person you recommend is suitable, I will naturally select and appoint them! In the end, Yang Jian threw out another condition.
Faced with this condition thrown by Yang Jian, he had no choice but to agree. This can be regarded as an exchange between Yang Jian and him, so that Yi Feng agrees to marry the princess and daughter of Xiangguo, and then Yang Jian agrees that Wang Bao will take over the position of governor of Wuzhou, and it is a large number of vacant substantive positions in the Youzhou Governor's Mansion now, and Yi Feng can also recommend a group of his candidates to take some of these positions.
Yi Feng compromised, he didn't have much say in the matter of choosing a concubine, rather than this, it was better to simply agree to the cousin Wuqiu'er, who was good in all aspects, and he could get a good exchange condition from Yang Jian because of this.
"But arranged by the Supreme!"
"Hahaha, don't worry, I won't let you suffer." Yang Jian laughed, his face full of smugness. (To be continued......)
