Chapter 13: The Marriage of Li Luo (End of Volume)

Luo Su is the national teacher of the Tang Dynasty!

What is a national teacher, a national teacher, and what is a teacher, the so-called preaching, receiving karma, and solving doubts are also.

Luo Su has always done things based on his identity, and everyone he has worked with has never felt that his words and deeds have exceeded the rules.

Since entering the Tang Dynasty, he has never had a single official, never had a student, never presided over one side, never discussed the war against the Winter Turks, in other words, he has never expressed any opinion on a certain important military and political affairs.

But he once talked about the method of rest and recuperation, and once talked about the matter of breaking the winter Turks, and now he is teaching the imperial monarchs and ministers in the palace, talking about what is called the great cause of the empire and what is called the imperial system.

What he says here enters the ears of kings and prime ministers, and the entanglements of interests after that have nothing to do with him, he only preaches, and as for how to use the word, it is the business of the monarch and the ministers.

Luo Su returned to the Spirit Heaven Pavilion.

Like a sage who has retired, he sat back on the top of the mountain, no one knows when he will appear next, but everyone knows that it must be another big event that will affect the world.

Li Shimin issued an edict, and the regulations negotiated by the prime ministers were soon promulgated, and two institutions were established in Chang'an, one called the Lifan Yuan and the other called the Privy Council.

The prefect of the Rifan Yuan is called the Rifan Order, and there are six divisions under it.

Take charge of affairs separately –

The titles in charge of the feudal departments were canonized, and the khans of all countries and the throne were canonized by the Heavenly Khan.

The territory of the tribes, the countries cannot be at war with each other at will, so the boundary survey needs to be determined by the Tang Dynasty.

The amount of money and silk given by the Tang Dynasty every year and the tribute of cattle, sheep and horses by the feudal department belong to the tributary system and reward, which is a very important thing in the foreign policy of the Tang Dynasty.

The trade protection of the official domain and the official Tang Dynasty, the opening of trade on the border, and the Tang caravan going to the Western Regions must cooperate with each other.

Religious matters of the domain.

Approximate household statistics of the domain.

Basically, it is set up according to the specifications of Shangshu Province, outside the Imperial Court, the chief of the Privy Council is called the Privy Council, Zheng Sanpin, who is responsible for counting the soldiers of the Domain, as well as the soldiers of the various departments, and the khans and nobles of various countries are asking the Privy Council to be named, and when the Tang Dynasty sends troops, they will point generals from the Privy Council and go out with their entourage.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the power of these two houses is very great, although the Son of Heaven did not say that these two houses can participate in political affairs, so the second court is not considered the prime minister, but that is because these two houses are responsible for foreign affairs.

The prime minister's job is to govern the country.

But as long as it involves foreign affairs, these two courts are prime ministers, because in the edict of the Son of Heaven, it is clearly stated that the edict issued in the name of the Heavenly Khan will be handed over to the Li Fan Yuan to execute, what does this mean, does it mean that the Li Fan Yuan is the external Shangshu Province!

Datang is really different from those previous dynasties, this is something that everyone can realize.

Those foreign feudal people who came to Chang'an deeply experienced the tolerance of today's Tang Dynasty.

These people have written letters to their friends in their hometowns, asking them to come to Chang'an as soon as possible to see the world's largest metropolis in the world.

The Tang Dynasty is indeed different, because this is a dynasty that has been re-established after hundreds of years of great national integration!

……

In the fourth year of Zhenguan, something happened that was not big for the imperial court, but very important to Li Shimin.

That is, the eldest grandson queen gave birth to the second daughter of the two, and the two have been married for so many years and have three sons and two daughters.

The most important thing is that when he learned that Empress Eldest Sun gave birth to a daughter, he was very happy and said to Luo Xuanling: "Qingyu, what I promised you at the beginning, now I can finally do it." ”

What did you promise Luo Xuanling at the beginning?

Of course, he wants to marry a daughter to Luo Xuanling's son.

Li Shimin was born in the Guanlong clan, and political marriages were almost engraved in the bones of these people, and most of his daughters were married to meritorious heroes and courtiers he valued.

Luo Xuanye's son Luo Juncheng married his eldest daughter, and Li Shimin decided to let Luo Xuanling's son Luo Junlie marry his second daughter, which is very fair.

I couldn't give birth at the beginning, so I couldn't help it, but now that I was born, Li Shimin immediately brought up the matter.

Luo Xuanling naturally had no reason not to agree.

In the current Zhuxia, not to mention free love, if there is a political marriage, then except for the princess of the Li family, there is no Gaomen who can match the Luo family.

Of course, the most important reason is that the Luo family is taking the initiative to integrate into the Tang Dynasty, although it is not yet possible to marry the queen and let the emperor have Luo's blood, but at least to the extent that the Li Tang royal family thinks that it is their own person when they think of Luo.

This requires more than one generation, more than one person to marry, just like the stability of the Ji Jiang alliance at the beginning, which was achieved by many countries together.

You must know that his sister Luo Xuanjing wanted to ask to marry a princess of the Li family, but Li Shimin had no daughter at that time, so he had to give up, because Luo Xuanjing's son Luo Jungong was born in the second year of Wude, only one year younger than Luo Juncheng.

This has to mention that the sons-in-law of the next generation of the Luo clan take "Jun" as their generation, and the men are named as "successful and fierce, outstanding (protective) prosperous (also)".

The sons-in-law who are born now are Luo Juncheng, the son of Luo Xuanye, who was born in the first year of Wude.

Luo Xuanjing's son, Luo Jungong, was born in the second year of Wude.

Luo Xuanxing's son, Luo Junjun, was born in the third year of Wude.

and Luo Xuanling's son Luo Junlie, who was born in the second year of Zhenguan, and Li Shimin's third son, Li Zhi, was born in the same year.

Among the seven members of the Xuanzi generation, Luo Xuanzang has not yet married a wife, Luo Xuanri, who is guarding in Winter City, has two daughters and no sons, Luo Xuanchen has a daughter, Luo Xuanyun has no wife, and Luo Xuanye is looking for him.

So the next generation, there are only four sons and four daughters at present, and the powerful Luo clan has a difficult heir, which is really fair.

Luo Junlie was born in the second year of Zhenguan, and now he is the fourth year of Zhenguan, and Li Shimin's second daughter, the age is also very suitable, and there is no reason not to agree to this marriage.

For Li Shimin, it is a happy event to marry Luo's again, but for Luo's to accept it again, the shock to the Tang Dynasty is great, and everyone can clearly feel that Luo's is really different.

You must know that in the Han Dynasty, except for the founding of the country, Luo's did not marry a few princesses, and now Luo's does not refuse, what does this mean?

This means that Luo's wants to expand his power in the world, and change the style of the Han Dynasty.

Because if Luo Xuanye's entry can still be explained by Luo Yinghou of the Han Dynasty, then Luo Xuanling and Luo Xuanchen's entry is a little difficult to explain, let alone Luo Xuanyun's entry.

No matter how much there is to talk about, the trust and importance that the Son of Heaven attaches to Luo's is obvious, and the only two concubines are married to Luo's.

There are even many people who doubt that if the Son of Heaven still has a daughter, he will marry Luo again.

……

In the early year of March in the fourth year of Zhenguan, the palace of Princess Pingyang was crowded, and many dignitaries were invited to come to the mansion, because today was the Sunday of Luo Xuanye and Li Xiuning's second son Luo Junzhuo.

One is the first person in the dynasty.

One is the sister-in-law of today's son, Zhengyi Pinsikong, the eldest princess of Pingyang, the governor of the prefecture, and the general of the right Qinglongwei.

The husband and wife are combined, this Datang, except for Li Shimin, no one can make it easy.

Whether it is the imperial court or the folk scholars, who doesn't want to hug these two thick thighs?

Even Wei Zheng didn't scold these two, but specifically arrested Li Shimin.

In the back hall of the house, the four brothers, Luo Xuanye, Luo Xuanchen, Luo Xuanling, and Luo Xuanyun are all sitting, Luo Xuanjing and Luo Jingcheng are also here, all the brothers have official business, and there is generally no opportunity to get together.

Luo Xuanye is the most powerful, and often drinks tea and wine with Li Shimin, Luo Xuanling guards the palace, is Li Shimin's personal guard general, and knows a lot of secrets, even Luo Xuanchen, the prime minister outside him, is much worse than the two.

After all, Luo Xuanye and Luo Xuanling are close ministers of the Son of Heaven, while Luo Xuanchen belongs to foreign ministers, except for formal state occasions, basically monarchs and ministers rarely meet each other.

Everyone sat together, chatting about some major events in the family and talking about state affairs, Luo Xuanye remembered something, and said to Luo Xuanyun: "Ah Yun, at the latest next year, you may be sent to the Western Regions or Mobei." ”

As soon as he heard this, Luo Xuanling suddenly remembered and answered: "There is a high probability that it is the Western Regions, and it is not impossible for Mobei, but the probability is very low. ”

Going to the Western Regions?

Luo Xuanchen recalled that there was no news about this, and he knew that this must have been something he said during small talk.

This kind of real gossip can't be obtained by the political affairs hall.

Luo Xuanyun was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Fifth brother, sixth brother, what's the situation, tell me quickly." ”

After defeating the Winter Turks, because of the credit of personally capturing Jieli, Luo Xuanyun ascended to the sky in one step, and was awarded the title of Duke of Wuwei County, Zhuguo, and Doctor of Jin Ziguanglu, and the official was the general of Zheng Sipin.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Luo Xuanyun is going straight to the top.

Luo Xuanchen reacted, and asked Chi Chi: "Is it the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, or the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate?" ”

Everyone suddenly realized.

After the pacification of the Winter Turks, the Western Turks were terrified, and many countries in the Western Regions turned to the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty set up the Privy Council and the Imperial Court in the central government, and naturally set up government agencies to manage the feudal departments in the local area, just as the central government has three provinces and six ministries, and there are local governors' mansions, metropolitan governors' mansions, and assassin's mansions.

The local administrative body of the feudal domain, the yamen where the Imperial Court and the Privy Council interconnected, was the Imperial Palace.

The Han Dynasty's Western Regions Protectorate and Liaodong Protectorate played a great role in the stability of the Han Dynasty's frontiers.

At present, there are only two Dadu Protectorates, namely Anxi and Anbei, Anxi is at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, which is a place where the Western Turkic forces are relatively weak, and the purpose is to deter the Western Turks.

The Metropolitan Protectorate of Anbei is located in the Selenga River in Mobei, where the Hala and Forest are located, which is one of the most important grasslands for the grassland people in Mobei.

The Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion are different, just as the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion are different.

The Dadu Protectorate is the superior tribe of the Metropolitan Protectorate, and the level of the Dadu Protector is very high, and like the Metropolitan Governor, they are all high-ranking officials from the second rank, and they are equivalent to the left and right servants of Shangshu in terms of rank, and they are half a level higher than the Li Fan Decree and the Privy Envoy.

Of course, since ancient times, there has been a saying that Jingguan has been promoted by half a level, and it is not even possible to say that he will be promoted by one level, so the status of the two sides is generally equal.

Luo Xuanye said: "There is a high probability that it is Anxi, Ah Yun is now the general of the fourth grade, and he went to Anxi to be promoted by half a level, and it happened to be from the third grade, serving as the deputy protector of the Anxi Grand Metropolitan Protectorate." ”

Luo Xuanye said this, then this matter is basically settled.

Go to the Western Regions.

It is also a good thing that the people in the temple are muttering about the benefits and harms, but there is no harm except that it is more dangerous.

Put in danger, certainly dangerous.

The current Western Regions is a mess, and the Western Turks are in civil strife, ostensibly subservient to the Tang Dynasty, but in fact they are certainly disobedient.

There are many countries in the Western Regions that will not really obey the Tang Dynasty in everything, there are pro-Tang factions, there are anti-Tang factions, there are smart people, and there are arrogant people.

In political life, if we imagine all people as sane people from the perspective of God, it is stupid, and it is the majority of people who kill people with passion and do things impulsively.

Especially small countries are very good at sitting in the well and watching the sky, sometimes they can't understand their brain circuits at all, that is, they want to jump, and then they are beaten half to death, and after they recover, they jump again, and the cycle is not stopped, and they are endless.

Luo Xuanyun himself was quite excited: "I am different from your brothers, and my relationship with the Son of Heaven is not close, and if I stay in Chang'an, I have to work on my qualifications step by step, and only when I go to the Western Regions can I have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions."

And the second brother is also in the Western Regions, and when he arrives in the Western Regions, he can just cooperate with the second brother's actions, which is a great thing, but I don't know who Anxi Dadu Hu is, I hope to find a tacit understanding, otherwise it will be a bad thing. ”

When Luo Xuanjing heard this, he said: "Finding a family for Ah Yun should be on the agenda, and it is best to find one from the emperor's relatives." ”

Luo Xuanye shook his head and sighed: "Your Majesty's children are still young, so you can only find the children of the emperor, but now the princesses of the right age are all married, and the rest are too young to be suitable."

If there is really a suitable one, why haven't I found a fiancΓ©e for Ah Yun until now?

It seems that it is difficult for Ah Yun to marry the Li family, so let Ah Yun go to the Western Regions first, and let the marriage go for the time being. ”

This is indeed the truth, Luo Xuanyun himself thinks so, why should a husband have no wife, and there is no possibility of not having a wife, Luo Xuanyun can find a wife in the Luo clan.

The reason why he wanted to find him in the Li family was to get closer to him and Li Tang, which would be beneficial to his future and the family's heritage.

……

There are people everywhere in the courtyard and courtyard, and it is extraordinary to catch a random person here.

The courtyard was staggered, and the officials who knew each other were chatting with each other, and by the way, they were wearing some gossip, and bursts of laughter rang out from time to time.

Especially those generals, all of them had very loud voices, but after one person arrived, all the voices stopped.

It was one after another greetings, "See Your Majesty, Your Majesty Wan'an, see the Empress, Empress Wanfu." ”

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun actually came to Princess Pingyang's Mansion to participate in a child's Zhou Banquet, which made many courtiers dumbfounded, and raised the status of Luo Xuanye and Pingyang Eldest Princess to a higher level.

Luo Xuanye and Li Xiuning hurriedly walked out to meet Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, "Your Majesty, the queen, how can such a trivial matter of a child still bother you." ”

Li Shimin waved his hand casually and said with a smile: "My own nephew, naturally I want to come and see, today I am not the emperor, I belong to my relatives to visit." ”

The eldest grandson smiled beside him, still as soft as water, she seemed to be like this forever, and truly implemented what is called, water conservancy and all things are indisputable.

"Auntie, uncle, I don't want to be happy."

Princess Changle ran out from behind the eldest grandson, first saluted the two, and then ran straight to Li Xiuning's side, Li Xiuning's waist and legs were slender and powerful, and her waist was also very thin.

Li Xiuning touched Li Li's little head dotingly and smiled: "Of course I want to be happy." ”

Li Lizhi rubbed Li Xiuning happily when she heard this, and Luo Xuanye greeted, "Your Majesty, the queen, please take a seat in the hall." ”

As soon as Li Lizhen raised her eyes, she saw Luo Juncheng looking at her with a smile next to her, and hurriedly rushed over, and said, "Cousin." ”

Luo Juncheng was already quite gentle and elegant, looked at Li Lizhen and chuckled: "Changle, I'll take you to see Jun Zhuo." ”

Li Lizhi waved the things in her hand, and said with a wrinkled little eyebrows: "Okay, I brought a gift for my cousin, look, the dim sum brought out from the imperial dining room is made of milk!" ”

If it was a few years ago, Li Lizhen would have thrown himself into Luo Juncheng's arms, but now Luo Juncheng is thirteen years old, Li Lizhi is eleven years old, born in a noble family, mature early, although still intimate, but there are some rules, or shyness.

After all, there are still so many people in the courtyard.

In private, Li Lizhi is still very sticky to Luo Juncheng, just like when she was a child.

The two left, Li Shimin and Changsun also walked into the inner hall, and the courtyard regained its vitality slightly, but it also lost the excitement just now.

After all, the Son of Heaven is here, and if he says something that makes the Son of Heaven unhappy, it will be bad.

After a process of blessings and thanks.

Luo Xuanye put Luo Junzhuo on the ground, and around Luo Junzhuo, countless objects were placed.

The little Luo Junzhuo lay on the ground, looked around, and then without hesitation, he first crawled in front of the books, and then crawled in front of the short knife decorated with gems, and then the book in his left hand and the treasure knife in his right hand, stood up from the ground and raised it high.

This scene made everyone around cheer.

Li Shimin laughed even louder: "Qingyang, my nephew, it seems that he will still be a talent with both civil and military skills in the future."

Huh? ”

I saw that after Luo Junzhuo looked around for a week, he staggered to Li Shimin's side, and then handed over the treasure knife and books in his hand, and said in a milky voice: "Uncle... Uncle, give, give. ”

There was a sudden silence in the hall, and then there was a commotion, and Li Shimin directly hugged Luo Junzhuo up, "Good boy!" ”

Then he smiled at the eldest grandson: "Queen, let's have another daughter, marry this kid, he has a fate with me!" ”
