On the way, I heard Wen Lesheng say that it turned out that after the early dynasty today, after the ministers of civil and military affairs led by Shi Jieshan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, persuaded the emperor to re-establish the emperor, but the emperor refused, and this was the conflict.

When the emperor was still King Yu, he had the original wife, the daughter of the Wang family of Chang'an, who had just arrived in the fiefdom at that time, in order to win over the local forces in Chang'an and gain a foothold as soon as possible, Lu Boyan and his mother, who was the Wen nobles at that time, decided to marry the daughter of the Wang family as Princess Yu through many considerations. After many years, King Yu became the emperor, and Princess Yu also left her family and came to the Forbidden City, where the palace walls were deep. For this princess Yu, Emperor Jiancheng has a lot of respect and love, and the Wang family has also fulfilled her duty as a wife, managing the affairs of the family, being a stable and methodical person, focusing on her husband's family everywhere, and it is not too much to say a word of virtuous help. However, counting the time she has been in the house, she has been married to Lu Boyan for more than ten years, but she has nowhere to go. Seeing the children of the other side concubines and concubines in the house go from waiting to be fed to studying and practicing martial arts, she was also full of envy, and drank a lot of medicinal soup in private, but it didn't work.

When she was in Chang'an, it was reasonable to marry King Yu as her daughter-in-law. It's just that now, Lu Boyan has ascended the throne as the emperor, and as a wife, she should have been established as the queen logically, but because she had neither children nor identity, she was caught by the courtiers, and the emperor must be re-elected. Emperor Jiancheng refused, and the matter after the establishment was said to be a state affair, but in the end it was also his family affair. He has respected the Wang family for ten years, knows that she is the most stable and intelligent, and takes care of his side concubines and even the children they give birth to. is such a well-informed person, let her preside over the affairs of a government with ease, and the mother of a country is not impossible.

But the courtiers don't think so, unfilial piety has three no queens, there is nowhere under the knees, there is no son-in-law, and without a son-in-law, the position of the prince will cause disputes in the court, and there are many factions. The big one said that it was for the stability of the government, and the small one said, which house does not have one or two daughters to be married, once entering the palace, it is to fly on the branches and become a phoenix, if there is a son and a half daughter, it is a relative of the emperor, and then go further...... Therefore, every time Emperor Jiancheng proposed to seal the harem, he was stopped by the ministers for various reasons, and now his true colors are revealed.

Lu Chen knew that this matter was very troublesome, and when it came to it, it was still a power dump, and the Wang family was only innocently implicated, but for a woman, for a wife, this matter was a blow to the Destruction Clan.

Lu Chen had seen this princess at the family banquet in King Yu's mansion, wearing a princess uniform to wrap her thin figure, but she was still energetic, generous in her dealings with people, graceful and elegant in her gestures, and she was a good girl who was knowledgeable and reasonable. It's just that the Wang clan is stuck in Chang'an and can't speak in the capital, which makes her even more isolated.

After entering the palace, Lu Chen brewed his emotions, and then pushed the door with an anxious face, "Your Majesty, there is an emergency about the assassination, and the Weichen has an emergency to report separately, it is related to the safety of the Forbidden City, please let Your Majesty hold back." ”

The ministers in the chamber were arguing, but they didn't expect Lu Chen to push the door and enter, and shouted when he entered the door, as if he didn't see everyone, and was about to reprimand him for being rude, His Majesty the Emperor said, "That is the case, everyone Aiqing will step aside for the time being, and discuss it another day." ”

After the ministers retreated, Emperor Jiancheng looked at Lu Chen and sighed, "See, today, even the people next to the pillow can't make their own decisions." ”

"The mother of a country, her identity is extraordinary, the emperor called Weichen over, but what are your plans?" The stakes are very high, and in the final analysis, it is the emperor's family matter, and Lu Chen has no intention of getting involved.

"I listened to what they meant, but I just wanted to advance and retreat, and everyone wanted to send people to the palace, and in the future, I would be forced to retreat in the name of virtue. Qiyun is very good, and when he was in the palace of King Yu, he was able to keep his worries free, but when he arrived in the capital, there was no one at home and no children, and he was weak in the end. "Qiyun is the name of Princess Yu, and she is also the woman of the Wang family who is about to become the queen of the dynasty.

"That being the case...... Can someone choose one? Lu Chen's heart suddenly sank, Emperor Jiancheng called him into the palace at this time, I am afraid it is not good.

"Lu Yu is still waiting for the boudoir?" Emperor Jiancheng asked.

Sure enough, Lu Chen felt bad just now, but he didn't expect Emperor Jiancheng to pay attention to the Lu family. Lu Yu is the younger sister of his mother's compatriots, she has been lively and clever since she was a child, there are three older brothers on her, her parents and brothers are very fond of her, and she has developed a temperament that is not afraid of heaven and earth. Fortunately, he did not fall behind others in studying and practicing martial arts, so he did not suffer any losses. is in the twenty-eighth year, and she was born with her parents to have a good appearance, and there is an endless stream of people seeking marriage, she herself does not want to marry, and her parents do not force it. Knowing today, it is better to let her find a suitable marriage as soon as possible, than to be confined to the walls of the Forbidden City Sensen Palace for the rest of her life, and there will be no more freedom.

It's not that he doesn't believe that the emperor will be good to his sister, he has been friends for ten years, and the emperor can be regarded as watching his sister grow up since she was a child, and she has her own face, so she won't suffer. But in the palace, even he can't say that he can enter, the little masters of the palace are all from a lot of backgrounds, and they have to suffer some grievances, he doesn't want his sister who has been held in the palm of his hand since he was a child to become a deep palace woman who only looks up in the sky.

"My sister's marriage, my parents' orders, I am just her third brother, and I haven't been home for more than half a year, so I don't know much." Emperor Jiancheng knew that Lu Chen was unwilling, what his parents' orders were to match, and what he hadn't returned home for a long time was just a pretext. According to the situation he reported, the painter has begun to take shape, and the information transmission is more than three times faster than his inner guards, not to mention the forces in the Lu family's secrets, and he doesn't know what major things are in the family.

"I know you don't want Lu Yu to enter the palace, I have watched her grow up since I was a child, and I know what kind of temperament she is, and the Forbidden City is no different from a cage for her. But she will marry sooner or later, and you have to believe that no matter what happens, I will protect her. It seemed to be discussing, but Lu Chen knew that he had no right to refuse. What's more, if you are in the capital, you will be able to protect her stability. ”

"Since the emperor knows, he should know that Yu'er's temperament is not suitable for the harem." Lu Chen still couldn't hold back, "Wei Chen still said that, the words of the matchmaker of his parents, even if Wei Chen agrees, it depends on the meaning of the elders in the family and Lu Yu himself." ”

"I came to discuss this matter with my uncle and aunt, it's almost the August Festival, please invite my family to the capital for the holiday. I haven't seen my uncle and aunt for a few days, and there are Brother Lu Feng and Brother Lu Lei, so I can't go back to Chang'an, so let them come to the capital together. Emperor Jiancheng breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Lu Chen passed this level, the rest of the Lu family would be easy to say.

"Thank you for the emperor's concern, the minister knows." Lu Chen lowered his head, he also wanted to ask his sister what he meant, if his sister was unwilling, he naturally had a way to dispel the idea of the one above. Lu Yu and Lu have been in the house for two years, and there are not a few people who come to ask her relatives, and she is not satisfied, does she really have other ideas?

"Qiyun's matter is still noisy, what do you think about this matter. Although I have plans to draft girls into the palace, I don't want to just go as they want, these old ministers have to kill their limelight. "This matter is over, and Emperor Jiancheng turned to ponder the bad thing just now.

"They don't care about this matter, Zhou Lizhong said that there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest. Shun married without telling him, and he had no queen. The gentleman thought it was too much. Let's talk about the emperor and ...... are still young, who can say for sure what will happen next. Even the people have a saying that the wife of the chaff does not go to court, let alone the royal family. Furthermore, it is said in the Book of Rites that once it is in line with it, it will not change for life. After the re-establishment, where should the king's sister-in-law be placed? Regarding this matter, Lu Chen and Emperor Jiancheng agreed on the same opinion.

Emperor Jiancheng seemed to have never seen Lu Chen, and his eyes were full of surprise, "I haven't seen you so sharp before." ”。

"Weichen lost his words, and the emperor forgives his sins." Lu Chen was also angry for a while, if there was no such thing, the emperor would not have thought of including Lu Yu in the palace, and he naturally didn't have a good temper with these people who saw the interests of the family in his eyes.

"I don't mean to blame you, this matter is over, and when the group of old men come back to quarrel with me, I will send it in your original words." Emperor Jiancheng said with a smile, he originally wanted to leave Lu Chen to eat in the palace, but he gave up when Lu Chen pushed him off and let him go out of the palace.
