Chapter 4: Princess Tang'an
Daming Palace, including the cool hall.
Li Shi, the son of heaven, who had just finished handling government affairs, sat on the soft couch, his eyes slightly closed, and his expression was lazy.
He is the eldest son of Emperor Daizong Li Yu and Shen Zhu, although he is nearly forty years old, but he often has the ambition to stir up chaos in his chest, and his figure seems to be thin but quite majestic, and no one dares to underestimate it.
Of course, the new emperor is indeed a means, as soon as he ascended the throne, he came to release the military power with a glass of wine, relieved Guo Ziyi's military power, and dismembered the Shuofang army.
Then with a little trickery, he tricked Wang Jiahe, the Duzhi soldier and horse envoy who had been in charge of the Shence army for more than ten years, into the palace, and sent his cronies to the Shence army to take over the military power and control the Beijing division.
This is not the end, the prime minister Yuan Zai, the general Ma Lan, the eunuch Liu Zhongyi and others who offended him in the past have been liquidated whether they live or die.
After some actions, the court finally had no strength that could restrain him, but just when he fantasized about getting through Tibet, relieving his worries, sending troops to eradicate the feudal town, clearing the east, and reviving the Tang Dynasty, there was a discordant voice outside the court.
Guo Ying, the son of the Fenyang royal family, actually injured his envoy to Tonghe and Tubo.
Although this matter is just a child's nonsense, it is irrelevant.
But for Li Shi, it undoubtedly touched his bottom line.
Fortunately, Lao Linggong understood the righteousness and did not say anything to intercede for this son, making him embarrassed.
"Everyone, Princess Tang'an asks to see you."
Just as Li Shi was pondering how to instruct Dali Temple to deal with Guo Ying, Dou Wenchang, the inner attendant, suddenly walked in from outside the hall to report.
"Oh, Ah Hui is here?"
Li Shi suddenly perked up when he heard this, and his face softened.
"Quick announcement."
Ah Hui is the nickname of his eldest daughter Li Hui, who is smart, gentle and filial, and is deeply liked by the royal family.
The first emperor specially selected the title of "Tang An", which is full of meaning, which shows that he is spoiled.
Li Shi also loves this daughter very much, even more than the heirs, if she wasn't a daughter, I'm afraid she would have been made the prince a long time ago.
A moment later, Li Hui entered surrounded by a group of palace ladies.
She was dressed in a plain bird skirt, her clothes were fluttering, her black hair was combed into a simple cloud bun, and a phoenix tail hairpin with emerald inlaid beads was inserted obliquely.
"Disturb my father's handling of political affairs, please forgive my son!" Li Hui approached and bowed to Yingying.
"What are you talking about, I don't know your temperament?" Li Shi smiled and stretched out his hand to help her, and after she stood up straight, he said: "You, you have always been on the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and when you came to see me today, there must be something important." ”
"Father is wise, there is really nothing in the world that can hide from you."
Li Hui pursed her lips and laughed lightly, and two blushes appeared on her pretty face: "Actually...... Well, in fact, it's not a big deal, it's just that my daughter heard her mother say that her father wanted to marry me to the secretary and young eunuch Wei You? ”
"Hehe......" Li Shi smiled dumbly when he heard this, his eyes fell on his daughter for a long time, and nodded: "My daughter's family is always going to get married, even if it is a heavenly family, you are now twenty-eight and one, and you have reached the age of marriage." ”
"When the first emperor was alive, Na Wei You often went in and out of the palace, I saw him a few times, his talent is high, he is rich and rich, he has a good appearance, and his conduct is good, and it is not a grievance for you to marry him."
Li Shi's tone was very flat, as if he was just stating an ordinary thing.
However, Li Hui was extremely resistant to this marriage, because she already had a crush in her heart.
"Father Mingjian, I don't want to marry that nerd and old pedant." Li Hui pursed her lips and said unhappily.
Li Shi frowned when he heard this, he felt that his daughter had a lot of misunderstandings about Wei You, so he corrected: "Young Eunuch Wei has read poetry and books, studied ancient and modern, and is a young man with a surname in today's Shilin, how can he be an 'old scholar'?" ”
How do you know that Li Hui listened, but her speech and demeanor became more intense: "He has no poems, no articles, only knows how to study the scriptures, how is he not an old pedant?" ”
Li Shi was speechless for a moment, he wanted to say that poems and articles are flashy and useless things for state affairs, and they are not worth mentioning at all, and only the sage's scriptures and righteousness are the foundation of rejuvenating the country and securing the country.
But when the words came to my lips, I felt that it was inappropriate to say this.
After all, he is the Son of Heaven, and some things can't be said so casually.
After a long groan, Li Shi finally decided to take a step back: "Since you think Wei You is a nerd and is not worthy of you, my father will change the lintel for you, how about the Lanling Xiao family?"
Hunan observation makes Xiao Fu's second son, Xiao Zhan, virtuous and gentle, and the same age as you......"
"My daughter has never met him, but I am afraid that my temperament will not match."
"Duan Bolun, the son of Duan Xiushi, the king of Zhangye County, is both civil and military, humble and simple, and is really a good match."
"Duan Bolun is indeed a righteous gentleman, but he doesn't understand Fengyue, he doesn't understand amorous feelings, and his daughter doesn't like it."
"What about the supervising imperial historian Lu Zhen? This person is really Wang Zuo's talent, as wise as the ovary and the text is excessive, and the argument is like Jia Yi and not sparse, I am planning to reuse him......"
"Lu Zhen already has a wife, why does his father want to break up the marriage of others?"
……
Li Shi recommended several young heroes in a row, each of whom can be called a leader of the young generation, but they were all vetoed by Li Hui one by one.
Rao is that he is a little hindsight, and he also noticed something strange at this moment.
Staring at Li Hui's bright eyes, Li Shi asked tentatively: "You can't look down on any of these young handsome people recommended by your father, don't you already have a heart?" ”
When Li Hui heard this, her delicate body trembled slightly, and a pair of autumn water scissors quietly avoided Li Shi's gaze, lowered her head and did not answer.
And the embarrassing appearance of her daughter's family being told about the central matter made Li Shi confirm her guess.
He couldn't help but sigh secretly.
The female university is not staying!
However, his daughter is the pearl of his palm since he was a child, and he is reluctant to blame too much, so he just pretends not to care and asks: "I don't know which family's son has such a blessing and can please my family's Ah Hui?" ”
"You also know this person's father, that is...... It's ......" Li Hui raised her head and peeked at Li Shi, and stopped talking.
Li Shi's eyelids jumped, and he had an ominous premonition in the dark, but after all, he had been the prince for nearly twenty years, and his heart had already been cultivated, and instead of showing mountain dew, he showed a kind smile on his face.
"Ah Hui, my father will not force you to marry someone you don't like, if you really like a man, you might as well tell your father, let's discuss slowly."
"Father......" Li Hui bit her lip, and suddenly seemed to have mustered up courage, raising her head and staring at Li Shi.
"My daughter's favorite person is Guo Jiabalang, and I ask my father to fulfill it."
"Guo Jiahachilang?"
Li Shi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he felt a thunderous sound in his mind, and his heart instantly tightened.
Guo Jiabalang, isn't it Guo Ying, the muddy boy of the Fenyang Wang family?
As soon as this kid ruined his plan, his daughter turned his head and secretly promised him, isn't this a big joke in the world and a big mistake in the world?
