Chapter 1947 It’s all Fang Er’s fault
For some reason, it seems that whenever my father encounters questions about Fang Jun, he always gets excited and impulsive...
Li Chengqian quickly stopped the emperor and said quickly: "Father, please calm down, you have misunderstood..."
"Misunderstanding?"
His Majesty Li Er stared and said: "Another misunderstanding?"
Li Chengqian explained: "It's not that Fang Jun fell in love with the daughter of Xu Jingzong's family, but that Xu Jingzong was greedy for dowry money and wanted to marry his daughter to Duke Chao. Fang Jun and Xu were childhood sweethearts. , can't bear to see his life They were completely ruined, so I asked my son to beg my father to choose suitable candidates among the noble sons and grant marriage to the Xu family. On the one hand, it would save their childhood, and on the other hand, it would save the court from a scandal. .”
His Majesty Li Er felt a little embarrassed. He really misunderstood...
But then he raised his thick eyebrows and asked incredulously: "Dong Chao? Qian Jiulong?"
Li Chengqian smiled bitterly and said: "Exactly. Duke Chao Guo is already seventy years old this year. His first wife passed away decades ago, and he married several others, but they were all divorced within a few years. The palace has collected more than a hundred beauties from all over the world. People, there are rumors among the people that this Duke of Chao Kingdom has a weird habit in bed and takes pleasure in sadism. I don’t know how much pornography he has. The flower girl was brutally ravaged and died suddenly and for no apparent reason. However, even if no one complained, it was naturally impossible for the government to thoroughly investigate a prince... This time, it must be that Duke Chao was greedy for the beauty of Xu's daughter and promised to The large dowry made Xu Jingzong obsessed with money and regardless of his daughter's life and death..."
"Bang!"
His Majesty Li Er slammed the table and said angrily: "This is really unreasonable! How can this person be so hateful even if the tiger's venom does not eat its seeds? In the past, I was the eighteenth bachelor of the Prince of Qin's palace. I was always very kind and graceful, and the same was true for Xu Jingzong. He was never criticized harshly because of his character, but instead But he cherished his talent and promoted him to the highest level. However, this man abandoned his eldest son in Huanggang. Now he is asking for fame, but he has heard that he is a swindler. There are even rumors that he intends to marry a girl to Lingnan! Such shameless people?”
He doted on his children very much, so he became even more disgusted with Xu Jingzong's practice of treating his children as goods for sale, and he was filled with anger!
"In this way, my son went to the palace to find Concubine Yang, and told her that I had something to say, asking her to accept the two sisters of the Xu family as adopted daughters, give them the title of princess, and then choose the one who lives up to her own integrity among the noble children and marry her! ”
When Li Chengqian heard this, he immediately became happy and saluted: "My father is wise. He criticizes and guides others, uproots the root and blocks the source. This will definitely make the upright people in the world very happy!"
The Xu sisters are granted the title of princess. Once they get married, they will be married off!
What does it mean to get married?
That is, the husband's family has no obligation to prepare betrothal gifts. All the extravagant expenses for getting married and the source of living after marriage come from royal rewards!
Of course, if you can honor the princess or the princess, who would have the nerve to carry a small gift without paying for it?
But obviously, once the Xu sisters get married, the emperor must have a will for her husband's family - just wait at home and you won't have to pay a penny... There is no betrothal gift from the husband's family, so Xu Jingzong will naturally have nothing to accept, " The plan to "get rich by selling her daughter" naturally came to nothing.
It’s simply too cruel...
His Majesty Li Er snorted and wanted to punish Xu Jingzong, but he thought that the eighteen bachelors of the Qin Prince's Palace had gradually withered in recent years, and there were not many left. Those years of hard work could not be erased. , Moreover, in the final analysis, this matter was just Xu Jingzong's family matter. Even if the emperor was involved in it, it would be considered overstepping the bounds, so he had to give up.
But not having the heart to punish Xu Jingzong does not mean that Qian Jiulong cannot be triggered.
Xu Jingzong was one of the eighteen bachelors of the Qin Palace, and he was Li Er's teammate. Qian Jiulong was just a slave beside the late emperor. He stole the position of Duke after making some achievements. In Li Er's eyes, he was nothing. ! He has enjoyed so many years of glory and wealth with his merits, which is almost even. Now that he is old and disrespectful, it is really disgusting and disgusting!
"The decree is passed that Duke Qian Jiulong of Chao State is indulged in pleasure and has failed in his private ethics. He will immediately remove the Duke of Chao State and demote him to the rank of Duke of Fuyang County. He will be asked to shut up and reflect on his mistakes and will not be able to leave the house within a year!"
The chamberlains and guards in the palace all lowered their heads and kept silent, not daring to express their anger.
I despise the misbehaving Duke Chao from the bottom of my heart. He just wants to live and enjoy his life in the palace while he is still old. He waits to pass on the title to his descendants after his death. How can a lowly servant who was convicted and demoted to a slave have the fortune he has today? You don’t know what kind of bad luck you have, but you are still greedy and not enough to cause trouble. Are you dumbfounded this time?
What a great opportunity to be given the title of Duke, but it flew away in vain...
It’s really seeking death.
Li Chengqian bowed and obeyed the order: "My son, I will obey the imperial edict!"
His Majesty Li Er was a little irritated, waved his hand and said: "My son, go and do it quickly! It's all Fang Er who is the stick, why do you have nothing to do to cause such chaos? None of these bastards have peace of mind. …”
*****
Li Chengqian went directly to the harem and went to Concubine Yang's residence to convey the emperor's will.
Concubine Yang didn't know the reason, so she was a little surprised. She ordered someone to serve fragrant tea and snacks to the prince, and then asked: "Why does your majesty interfere with the marriage of a junior?"
It's not that the emperor shouldn't interfere, but that although Xu Jingzong is one of the emperor's team members, their relationship has always been distant and not close. What's more, it is not the marriage of Xu Jingzong's son, but two daughters?
Li Chengqian smiled and told the cause and effect.
Concubine Yang understood, and said helplessly: "How come Fang Er is so busy meddling in other people's business? In any case, this is the Xu family's family affairs. If he is an outsider meddling in so many things, I'm afraid gossip will spread all over the place again... That's all, this guy is going around again." Have you ever been afraid of gossip? Since Your Majesty is willing to run away from it, how can I dare to shirk it? I will send people to the Xu family later to adopt the two sisters as adopted daughters."
Li Chengqian smiled and said: "Thank you, Madam."
Concubine Yang said slightly angrily: "We are one family, how can we talk about two families? The prince is getting older and no longer comes to play in the palace. He is quite alienated."
Li Chengqian said hurriedly: "Where is the estrangement? My third brother and I are brothers and sisters. We have always regarded the empress as our biological mother. The admiration in our hearts has never diminished by half. It's just that we are older and have more courage on our shoulders. We always have to mention our father. It’s just to share the worries, so I have reduced the number of visits to the palace. I hope the empress will not blame me.”
He and Li Ke are the same age, and were born only a few months apart. They were raised together under the name of Empress Changsun of Lizheng Palace when they were young. Naturally, they often came to visit and play with Concubine Yang. Therefore, they were very fond of Concubine Yang, a gentle woman who was completely different from her mother, Empress Changsun. I have a lot of good feelings and am very close.
Naturally, there was no restraint at this time.
Having said this, Concubine Yang looked at the prince and said: "Your Highness supports Ke'er to go to Silla this time, which is nothing less than a great kindness. I am here to bow to the prince and thank you..."
Concubine Yang gently gathered her skirt and looked at the prince with a faint smile. Her beautiful eyes were gleaming and she said softly: "Your Highness's kindness is really a blessing for Ke'er. But in this way, Ke'er's revenge will be eliminated. But it will inevitably cause His Highness to be criticized and wronged.”
She was born in the former Sui royal family and was the former Sui emperor, so she naturally knew these things well.
The more you see clearly, the more you understand how difficult it is for the prince to do this. This generosity is rare, and naturally he is deeply moved...
Li Chengqian was startled and stood up in a hurry, but did not dare to step forward to help him. As a prince, having physical contact with his father's wives and concubines was a taboo among the taboos!
I had no choice but to hold each other up with my empty hands and said quickly: "Why is your Majesty like this? When I was a child, I was extremely naughty and was punished by my mother many times. Every time, my Majesty gave me words to persuade me, which made me suffer a lot of physical pain. My Majesty treated me like a child. Since I was born, my third brother and I are connected by blood, and we are all members of the same family. Naturally, I hope that everyone will be well! My third brother’s talent is unique among all brothers! I was the top one, but I occupied the position of crown prince because of my honor and righteousness. I couldn't stretch my talents, and I was depressed and unfulfilled. Naturally, I felt guilty in my heart... Now the queen doesn't blame me for letting my third brother go to the bitter cold land of Silla. , I am still grateful in my heart, how dare you treat me like a gift like this? Please get up quickly, I’m so sorry for you!”
For the dignified prince of a country to be able to call himself "child" shows that he is sincere and not delusional...
Concubine Yang expressed her gratitude, then stood up, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and was about to speak when she saw the maid who was usually close to her hurriedly running in from outside. So unruly? ”
The maid was startled, and quickly saluted with blessings, apologizing and saying: "I was in a hurry and lost my etiquette. I hope your highness will forgive me."
Li Chengqian has a kind personality, how could he punish others like this?
He smiled gently and said: "It's okay... I just don't know what's important, why are you in such a hurry?"
The maid's eyes lit up and she said anxiously: "Your Highness, Madam, just now Princess Danyang entered the palace in tears and ran to the Dragon Palace to find your majesty. She said that he wanted your majesty to sentence her to separation from General Xue, and then she was in front of her and behind her. The general also came into the palace, with his upper body exposed and his back There were dozens of thorns, and the sharp thorns on the thorns pricked his back with blood. He threatened that if His Majesty punished him for separation, he would bump his head to death in front of Tai Chi Hall. He also asked Your Majesty to cover his hair and cover his face, because he had no face to see him again. Hedong elders..."
Li Chengqian and Concubine Yang looked at each other.
What's going on?
That Xue Wanche has always been rough, brave and tough, but today he is acting like a scoundrel like an angry little daughter-in-law, and even resorting to the trick of "covering his face with his hair"?
Do you think you are Empress Wen Zhao...(End of Chapter)
