Chapter 153: Li Shen is a beast
When Wang De told Li Shen's words to Li Shimin, Li Shimin laughed and shouted happily. Li Shen's death hole is that he cares too much about money.
Li Shen was grounded again, and he was grounded inexplicably, and no one knows what mistakes he made.
However, after Li Shen was grounded for half a month, he was summoned to the palace, and it was directly transmitted to the Daji Palace, and as soon as he entered the front hall of the Daji Palace, he saw that Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were there.
"Aya didn't know what it was to call her son. The child is now grounded, thinking behind closed doors. Li Shen was very dissatisfied with Li Shimin's inexplicable grounding fine
"Then I'll go back and think about it later, I have a big thing to tell you." Li Shimin was too lazy to talk to him
"Oh. Aya commanded. ”
"You're fourteen years old. I will be fifteen years old next year, and I am going to set you a family affair and find a princess. Li Shimin said while drinking tea
"Ayair is still young. Wait a few more years" In this era, it is common to get married at the age of fifteen, but Li Shen is a person in later generations and does not want to get married too early.
"Shen'er, you're not too young. It's time to find a princess. And the princess you Aya found for you is a beauty. Empress Eldest Sun smiled
"Who? Li Shen said curiously
"The daughter of Lu Shuang in the military department, I heard that she looks beautiful and beautiful, and she is unreachable at that time." Empress Eldest Sun said
Li Shen thought hard for a while, but he didn't think who this Lu Shuang was, he must be a nobody, so he said, "Can you take a look at the goods first." ”
"Bastard, do you think you're buying something, let's take a look at the goods first" Li Shen's slip of the tongue made Li Shimin angry.
"I'm used to it, I mean, can you look at people." Li Shen immediately changed his words
"It's okay to see it, but the words of the matchmaker from the parents, things can't be changed." Li Shimin said firmly to Li Shen
"Aya can't be settled, is it?" Li Shen turned his head to look at his mother and asked
"I've already gotten angry with Lu Shuang, and his little lady doesn't have a marriage contract with anyone else. I've also seen it, it's really beautiful and talented, dignified and steady. Wei Guifei said
"Well, what's the use of telling me it's all decided anyway? How old is this Lu. Li Shen had actually been mentally prepared for a long time. In this era, the princess couldn't choose his own turn at all, so he told Wu Mei earlier to protect him as a side concubine.
"Twelve years old, this year's marriage, next year's thirteen years old just to get married." As soon as Wei Guifei finished speaking, Li Shen blew up
"How old are you? Only twelve? Li Shen asked with an incredulous look
"Isn't it normal for a woman to get married at the age of thirteen? What's all the fuss. Li Shimin despised Li Shen
"That's too small. Isn't it about my age? Li Shen scolded in his heart that he was a beast.
"Won't you be thirteen next year? I asked you to come today just to inform you, not to ask you for what you mean. The choice of the princess must be decided by us. As for Wu Mei in your house, you can give him a side concubine. Li Shimin said solemnly
"Aye, it's too young, it's dangerous to have a baby. Sun Simiao said that it is best for a woman to give birth to a child after the age of eighteen, otherwise it is very dangerous and will die. Li Shen tried his best to argue.
"Your mother also married me at the age of thirteen, and if you feel that it is dangerous, you can wait a few more years to regenerate, and when you marry the Lu family, you will be able to be in Nawumei.
Wu Mei is already eighteen years old, and she can let Mr. Wu Mei have one when the time comes. Remember that as a member of the royal family, you are also contributing to the royal family. Li Shimin did not allow Li Shen to refuse
Li Shen went back with a sad face, Li Shimin's attitude was very tough, so he could only passively accept it. On the way back, Li Shen scolded himself for being a beast more than once.
It turned out that Li Shen in history married such a young child as a princess, and Li Shen was really a beast.
Back in the palace, Li Shen called Wang Xuance, who had already returned from Xuzhou, and asked him to find out what kind of thing Lu Shuang was in the military department, and he could actually make Li Shimin take such a fancy to him and let him marry him.
A few days later, Wang Xuance hurriedly came to the palace and brought Li Shen a big melon. originally thought that this Lu Shuang was the best of the best, but I didn't expect it to have nothing to do with him.
In the second year of Zhenguan, the eldest grandson queen occasionally contracted a physical illness, and the eldest grandson who was sick was still thinking about the happiness of his husband Li Shimin.
He is already old and decrepit, although there are countless beauties in the palace, but there are not many that can really make Li Shimin unforgettable, so the eldest grandson began to look for excellent folk women for Li Shimin to enrich the harem.
The hard work paid off, and after many efforts, the eldest grandson finally found out that there was a beautiful and virtuous woman Zheng in Chang'an City, which was very in line with Li Shimin's aesthetic needs.
Zheng is the daughter of Zheng Renji, the former minister of the Sui Dynasty, who was fifteen or sixteen years old at the time.
Summoning into the palace to serve Taizong is definitely a beautiful thing in the world. As soon as Li Shimin heard that there was such a beautiful woman, he immediately laughed at it, and sent an edict to the Zheng family to canonize the Zheng family as "Chonghua" and summoned her to the palace.
After the canonization order was issued, it attracted the admonition of a courtier, and that courtier was the famous Wei Zheng.
Wei Zhengda heard the news that the Zheng family had already been married to a scholar named Lu Shuang, although he had not been married for the time being, but he had already received the dowry from others, according to the ancient etiquette system, if he received the dowry, he was a married woman.
If Li Shimin wants to force the Zheng family, it will be to rob the wife of a minister, which is obviously not what a virtuous emperor should do. So Wei Zheng directly stepped forward to prevent Li Shimin from recruiting new people.
Li Shimin panicked at this time, and while shocked, he had no choice but to withdraw his fate, and hurriedly recalled the messenger who issued the book and returned the Zheng family to her fiancé Lu Shuang.
The news of Li Shimin's divorce aroused the opposition of another group of ministers, and the left servant shot Fang Xuanling, Zhongshu Ling Wen Yanbo, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Wang Qi, and the imperial historian Wei Ting and other internal and external officials said: "Xu Shi Lu's family, there is no obvious state, and the great gift is carried out, and it cannot be stopped." "The issuance of the edict is a major event, and besides, the evidence that the Zheng family promised to marry Lu Shuang is insufficient, how can it be abolished halfway because of Wei Zheng's few words?
What's even worse is that the scholar named Lu Shuang also refuted the rumors, saying that he and the Zheng family had no marriage contract, and the two families were just very close friends. The so-called marriage contract is just a blind rumor from outsiders.
The "bitter master" came out to clarify, and the ministers became even more energetic, and persuaded Li Shimin to take back his fate, strike while the iron was hot, and quickly take the Zheng family into the palace. With such a turnaround, Li Shimin was also shaken, and it was Wei Zheng who stood up and strongly admonished him.
The reason why the Lu family denied the marriage contract was not to clarify the truth sincerely, but because of pressure and fear, how could he, a scholar, have the courage to fight for a woman with the emperor? And one thing not long ago is a lesson from the past.
Wei Zheng also specifically used it to embarrass Li Shimin, he said: "The Lu family is just afraid of repeating the example of hard work and frugality." "What is the lesson of Xin Chujian's past, it turns out that this is related to Li Shimin's father, Emperor Li Yuan.
Li Yuan had a concubine, who was once the wife of the prince's housekeeper Xin Chujian, and after Li Yuan took his wife, he hated because of love, and the more he looked at Xin Chujian, the more awkward he became, and finally he was demoted and transferred to the county order. The unlucky Xin Chujian lived in fear all his life, lest he lose his life.
After hearing this, Li Shimin reluctantly canceled the wedding, and publicly issued an edict to admit his mistake: "I heard that the daughter of the Zheng family has been hired by someone first, and on the day of the previous document, the matter was not examined in detail. Those who are given 'full of China' should stop.
In the end, Zheng married Lu Shuang and gave birth to a daughter, that is, Li Shen's future princess Lu. Li Shimin himself couldn't marry this first beauty in Zhenguan, so he let his son marry someone else's daughter, which can be regarded as a good story.
