Chapter 29: Father-Daughter Conversation (4)

If Shangguan Ao said that he was very surprised by Shangguan Lihua's words before, now that he heard Shangguan Lihua's remarks, he was already very calm, but whether his heart was really as calm as it appeared was unknown.

"Li'er's assessment of the three princes today, did the three princes tell you, or did Li'er know about it?" Shangguan Ao asked.

Shangguan Lihua shook her head, she wouldn't tell her father that she would inevitably take the world that Xuanyuan Yuling wanted in this life. And his indefatigable devotion to Xuanyuan Yuchen's previous life, the best response is to use the mountains and rivers of the Xuanyuan Dynasty as a matchmaker, and use the picturesque rivers and mountains as a medium to repay Xuanyuan Yuchen's love for his life.

"Since the third prince has told him about his intentions, how did Li'er know that the third prince has this ambition?" Shangguan Ao said and obviously began to get excited.

"Father, as the eldest daughter of my Dingguo Gong, she is destined to be unable to spend the rest of her life in peace and tranquility. Even if he doesn't want to, the emperor will still choose a son-in-law for his daughter. If it weren't for the marriage given to the third prince, the daughter would not have wanted it. Perhaps, the father can indeed justifiably refuse the emperor's marriage for Li'er, or even directly find an ordinary scholarly family in Jinling City and marry his daughter before the emperor gives his daughter a marriage. But father, have you ever thought that although our Dingguo Mansion does not need more glory and wealth, as long as the military power in my father's hands is in hand for a day, we will not be able to escape this battle for the throne. ”

Shangguan Lihua raised his head slightly, and continued to his father: "Father, now that His Majesty still wants to reuse it for you, he will definitely marry his daughter, even if it is not the third prince Xuanyuan Yuchen, then there are also the crown prince Xuanyuan Yuling and the second prince Xuanyuan Yuqi have also reached marriageable age."

Moreover, at today's literary and poetry meeting, her daughter saw that Xuanyuan Yuqi seemed to have a slightly different relationship with Li Shangqing, the young lady of the General's Mansion, and her daughter estimated that he would not necessarily accept this marriage. That's the biggest possibility...... It's the crown prince and the third prince. The daughter said that if her daughter was allowed to marry the prince, her daughter would only be able to be freed if she died. ”

Shangguan Ao didn't know why his daughter was so hostile to Prince Xuanyuan Yuling, but he also agreed with Shangguan Lihua's analysis. Moreover, he was just at the gate, still regretting the Wentao martial arts of the third prince Xuanyuan Yuchen, and his talent and strategy would be buried in this battle for the throne. If he really has this ambition, what if he is proud to help him.

"Daddy probably knows what Li'er is thinking. Therefore, if there is a chance, my father will invite the third prince to come over to the house, and then I can give him a try. After making a certain decision, Shangguan Ao said this, but the tense atmosphere was much more relaxed than when he first entered the study.

Shangguan Lihua nodded, agreeing with his father Shangguan Ao's statement. "Actually, the third prince Xuanyuan Yuchen is impeccable in every aspect. Besides, if the things that my father had scruples about before didn't exist......" Shangguan Lihua didn't finish his words, leaving it to Shangguan Ao to think about it himself.

Shangguan Ao glanced at Shangguan Lihua and said, "What does Li'er think the third prince looks like?"

Shangguan Lihua said with some embarrassment: "Father, I don't know what the third prince Xuanyuan Yuchen will do next, but over the years, what he thinks about his daughter, even if his daughter is stupid, it is still enough to feel it." Besides......" Shangguan Lihua paused here when he said this, and then continued: "Besides, my father has been able to let him enter the Dingguo Mansion freely for so many years, and my daughter doesn't believe that my father doesn't know what he thinks about my daughter?" In this case, my father must have already made a decision in his heart. ”

Shangguan Ao nodded and said, "What Li'er said is good, but for my father, I want to ask Li'er, what do you think of the various parties in the court?" What is the position of the General's Mansion in the court? ”

"General Li Shangwu, who holds nearly 400,000 soldiers in the court, and does not have any family side branches behind him, is the real emperor's confidant."

Shangguan Ao added: "He has a neutral position, except for the original affairs, he never participates in partisan disputes, and rarely speaks."

"What about our Dingguo Mansion?" Shangguan Lihua asked.

Shangguan Ao did not answer Shangguan Lihua, but raised his eyes to look at her, and then continued: "The Guo family, the secretary of the military department, has always been at odds with my Dingguo Mansion."

Of course, Shangguan Lihua knew that the Dingguo Mansion clan was wiped out in the previous life, who could know that Guo Yunzao, the secretary of the Ministry of War, did not interfere with it? The level of participation is not less. In her previous life, she knew that the Guo family belonged to Prime Minister Lan Jinzhi's faction and had always been an enemy of the Dingguo Mansion. It is also very normal to say that both of them have military power in their hands, and Shangguan Ao has been reused by the emperor because of his meritorious service in quelling the chaos many times, and Guo Yunzao, the secretary of the military department, is dissatisfied with this, so he is openly and secretly hostile to Shangguan Ao, the Duke of Dingguo.

When it comes to this matter, she naturally won't speak first, she must have asked Shangguan Ao to say it herself, otherwise, she has to explain how she learned about these things. Even if she has been talented and intelligent since she was a child, she has never asked about the politics of the court, and it is impossible for her to know the intricate factions in the court.

In fact, the mother family of the second prince Xuanyuan Yuqi, that is, the faction of Dong Xingui, the imperial historian, is getting stronger and stronger, and behind it, a household department and a ministry of industry are secretly helping each other. This is inseparable from Emperor Xuanyuan Lingfeng's support.

Therefore, Emperor Xuanyuan Lingfeng is an enterprising emperor, he supports the second prince who was originally weaker, and intends to weigh the situation of the crown prince Xuanyuan Yuling's dominance, and is reluctant to push Xuanyuan Yuchen out, so only the second prince is the most suitable. This is something she already knew in her previous life. It's just that no matter in her past life or present life, she doesn't know that in fact, the second prince Xuanyuan Yuqi is Xuanyuan Yuchen's person.

"Father, are you right?"

"What Li'er said is true, but what do you think of the third prince Xuanyuan Yuchen?" Shangguan Ao did not give up his questioning of Shangguan Lihua.

Shangguan Lihua said a little helplessly: "Father, it doesn't matter what the daughter thinks of the third prince. The important thing is that now the three princes don't seem to have much ambition on the surface, but the daughter knows that these three princes are far from being as light as you and I see on weekdays. It's not that he doesn't, but he is indeed more talented and strategic than the crown prince and other princes.

Then why did the Queen Mother and Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince not stop the reputation of the Third Prince Xuanyuan Yuchen in the world? Could it be that they never did it, apparently not. I haven't done what I said, and I guess my father won't believe it. In this case, why has the third prince Xuanyuan Yuchen still lived a wanton and chic life for so many years? It is undeniable that there is His Majesty's protection and care, but who can deny that the third prince himself is not as simple as it seems. ”
