Chapter Eighty-Nine: Emperor Sui's Thoughts
The sudden marriage gave people completely unexpected, Liang Qian looked back at Gu Yueke beside him in surprise, saw her quiet thanks, and turned her head to look at Princess An Ning who had no waves, and suddenly realized in his heart.
The last time the Gu family and the Zhang family got married, this was the deal made by the Gu family and the emperor?
That! And why is the Gong family?
Liang Qian turned his head to look at Gong Qingyan and Gong Xuewei, and saw the surprise in each other's eyes. They don't know why the emperor arranged it like this?
The third prince and the crown prince sitting next to Li Yu were also stunned, and the two of them looked up at Emperor Sui who was sitting on it at the same time, and reacted for a while before getting up and kneeling down to thank him.
A Mid-Autumn Festival dinner ended like this, and Liang Qian had his sad thoughts and did not speak.
Gu Yueke, who was sitting next to Liang Qian, also looked weak. Obviously, he told Liang Qian that he didn't use himself to trade anything, but now it has become like this. Vaguely glancing at Princess An Ning not far away, Gu Yue asked for help: What should I do? Asa seems to be upset! Help me!
Princess An Ning shook her head disapprovingly, and replied to Gu Yueke with her eyes: Of course I know that Qianqian is angry! I'm embarrassed too! I didn't tell her about it, and if she knew I knew I knew I didn't tell her, wouldn't she be more angry?
After the two made eye contact, the palace banquet was over, Gu Yueke looked at Liang Qian, who was depressed, and felt guilty and helpless in her heart. Seeing Liang Qian get into the carriage of King Li's mansion, Gu Yueke stretched out his fist and punched Princess An Ning beside him: "Why is this person so unrighteous?" Shallow is angry! ”
This punch is not light, fortunately, Princess An Ning is a martial arts student, otherwise she may not be able to withstand it: "Is there anything I can do?" I know the news, but that was a few days ago. I've been busy these days...... Oops, I didn't get a chance to tell her anyway! ”
Gu Yue rolled her eyes unhappily: "Busy, busy with what?" You say, you say why! I don't see anyone every day! ”
Princess An Ning didn't dare to say, Princess An Ning said aggrievedly: "Tomorrow, tomorrow I will accompany you to King Li's Mansion to find Qianqian!" Shallow temper is so good, we apologize and she will definitely not be angry! ”
"Really?" Gu Yue didn't believe it.
Princess An Ning nodded affirmatively: "Of course it's for sure, I'm very good at coaxing people!" ”
Knowing that Liang Qian might be depressed because of Gu Yueke's matter, Li Yu deliberately separated Princess Li from sitting in the same carriage as Prince Li, and he sat in the same car as Liang Qian.
got into the carriage and looked at Liang Qian, who lowered his head and didn't speak, Li Yu talked slightly: "Because it's the Mid-Autumn Festival, there are a lot of mooncakes in the house, and a lot of mooncakes with different tastes have been prepared, let's go back and taste them one by one, okay?" ”
Liang Qian glanced up at Li Yu, pursed his lips and nodded. After a long time, he stopped talking and said, "Does His Royal Highness know what the emperor means by today's marriage?" ”
I was surprised that Liang Qian would not hold his heart as before, and would ask so directly. Li Yu couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly, and after reacting, his eyes were also dyed with a smile: "The emperor's mind has always been quite unpredictable, and we are generally not sure what he wants to do!" But the only thing that is certain is that Gu Yueke's marriage to the third prince is the best choice that the emperor currently thinks! ”
"What's the best choice?" Liang Qian's eyes were red.
Looking at the performance of Princess An Ning, Gu Yueke and Li Yu today, Liang Qian realized that today's incident was realized in hindsight, and the three of them knew it, or predicted it in advance.
Only themselves, only themselves don't know anything, and have been kept in the dark.
Liang Qian didn't blame them for not telling themselves, Liang Qian just felt that he was really useless. I can't read words and colors, and I can't see the situation in various places clearly. They can't understand any conspiracy or plan, so they don't want to tell themselves anything on the premise of protecting themselves.
Liang Qian also wanted to protect them......
"Alright." Li Yu looked at Liang Qian's self-blame and guilt-guilty look, and knew Liang Qian's sadness in his heart, and reached out to take Liang Qian into his arms: "I'm sorry, I didn't discuss it with you, or exchange some daily life in my life!" You've shared it with me so often, and I promise there won't be a next time! ”
Liang Qian shook his head: "I'm not angry with you...... I just think...... Nothing can help...... It's like a burden! ”
"How so?" Li Yu hugged Liang Qian, quietly leaned his chin on Liang Qian's head, and said with a focused look: "You are still by my side, still ...... It's the biggest and best help for me! ”
The emperor's mind is deeper, and the mind of Emperor Sui is also difficult to guess. But even if it's hard to guess, there will be some basic ideas and some basic guesses that can be understood.
There are two reasons for Gu Yueke and the third prince Cheng Haochen to make a pair, on the surface.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is now too powerful because of the queen's mother. The queen's mother, Lin Yiran, is another person whose heart is higher than the sky, and her hands are often a little long, which the emperor doesn't like.
Emperor Sui had only three sons of the same age. The eldest prince Cheng Haoxuan is greedy for money and lustful, mediocre and incompetent, and he is a dou who can't be helped. After excluding the eldest prince Cheng Haoxuan, the only one who can compete with the prince in the court is the third prince Cheng Haochen.
The Gu family was a subordinate of Emperor Sui.
Letting the only concubine of the Gu family marry the three princes, on the one hand, increases the power of the three princes, and allows the three princes to compete with the prince in the court. On the other hand, because the Gu family is his own people, Emperor Sui does not have to worry too much about the power of the third prince being too high and becoming another prince, which will affect him.
Of course, these are just Li Yu's speculations, and it should probably be just the most superficial reason.
The matter between the third prince and Gu Yueke Li Yu was not surprised, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Cheng Haohan married Gong Qingyan, the concubine of the palace family, was the point that Li Yu was really surprised today and did not guess.
The Gong family, a family that is said to be a family in Kyoto, but it is also a family that is not particularly high or particularly low among the family families, and Gong Qingyan, the concubine of the Gong family, did not leave a very deep impression on Li Yu.
If the emperor just wants to check and balance and weaken the power of the prince, it would be good to simply leave the position of the crown prince's royal highness and concubine. However, he was given a concubine with a status that was just worthy of it, just enough to overwhelm Yi Pingting, but it was not a very high status, Li Yu didn't understand what Emperor Sui meant by this for a while.
