Chapter 2134 Proposal
Li Ke cursed in his heart, but did not dare to say it out loud. He had been frightened and afraid of his father since he was a child. Even if his father clearly asked him to take the blame, how could he dare not to take the blame?
He had no choice but to say: "Princess Zhende is as beautiful as a flower, and Fang Yiai is stunningly talented. As the saying goes, a talented man and a beautiful woman, if the father gives her a gift for marriage, it will not only make Tang Dynasty and Silla closer, but also create a golden relationship." A good relationship will be praised all over the world. ”
The words were beautiful, but my heart was depressed.
Thinking about walking out of here later, he immediately packed his bags and headed to Silla.
Otherwise, once Gao Yang hears the news, he will definitely come to trouble him...
Although that girl's temperament has gradually softened since she became a mother, and she has gradually cultivated her moral character and is no longer as aggressive as she was when she was unmarried, but the so-called temperament is hard to change, and when her little temper breaks out, it is still a headache.
His Majesty Li Er smiled, nodded and said: "What King Wu said is true... But as the saying goes, parents order matchmakers. Although I am the emperor, I cannot force my ministers to do such private matters. I will send someone later. Invite Liang Guogong into the palace to discuss the matter, and ask your beloved to wait for the good news. ”
He never thought there was anything wrong with his son-in-law taking concubines.
Confucius also said that "food and color are the nature of food." It can be seen that it is a man's nature to like the color of fish. Where can there be a cat that does not eat fish?
Forcing a son-in-law to marry only one princess may seem like a loving and harmonious couple, but there are no concubines vying for favor, but in fact there are too many hidden dangers. Everything in the world is like this. The more severe the oppression, the more severe the backlash. A fierce man can only live with one woman in his life. Will he be willing to do so?
If the heart is not reconciled, it will be reluctant and resentment will gradually arise.
If things go on like this, resentment will inevitably lead to hatred, and husband and wife will turn against each other.
Furthermore, being a princess is the most glorious thing, but all the men in the world have three wives and four concubines, and being a princess can only keep this one... Doesn't it become the most painful thing in the world?
In the future, the royal princess will probably become a scourge, causing those young elites to avoid her, and their expressions will change when they talk about her. This is something His Majesty Li Er absolutely does not want to see and cannot accept.
Of course, Fang Xuanling's status in his mind was different from that of others. Although he knew that Fang Xuanling would definitely obey his words, he still had to ask first to show respect.
This is also a way for a king and his ministers to get along with each other. For the ministers of the humerus, you cannot put on the face of a superior king and take it for granted. He is the Immediate Emperor, and most of his ministers followed him into battle and were killed in a sea of blood and corpses. His prestige has long been rooted in the hearts of every minister, and there is no need to use the so-called imperial majesty to show his majesty.
On the contrary, the effect will be better if you mingle with the ministers...
Queen Seondeok couldn't hide her joy and thanked her: "Thank you so much, Your Majesty!"
His Majesty Li Er smiled and said: "Talents and beauties should have accomplished good things, so why do you need to express your thanks? But I don't have to stay in the mansion all day. Guanzhong is prosperous, and the customs are very different from Silla. Now is the beginning of spring, so you can go around Walk around and have fun. The folk customs in the Tang Dynasty were lively, and it was not uncommon for women to drink and have fun in the streets. You might as well walk around with the ladies of various families. ”
Being in Chang'an, Queen Seon Deok must also be trembling with fear, fearing that she would make a mistake and cause unnecessary trouble. Therefore, the "Baiqisi" reported that the Queen of Silla and Princess Jinde, including the Jin clan members who came with them, always stayed in Yuci's mansion. Not only did they never play around, they even visited strangers. No one was seen.
In fact, it’s not necessary.
What His Majesty Li Er is most proud of is his "capacity". Silla is still attached, and the entire country is occupied by the Tang army. The Queen of Silla is now no different from the "King of Subjugation", and the remaining Kim royal family is simply impossible Why should you be wary of other people's every move when you find out something?
Since he is attached to the Tang Dynasty, he is a minister of the Tang Dynasty and should be treated equally, without distinction between internal and external affairs.
At this moment, Wang De came in and reported that the tribute mission from Xijiasi had arrived outside the city, and Honglu Temple had sent people out to greet them.
His Majesty Li Er said: "Farewell to the Xijiasi envoy, I will wait for you at the Liangyi Palace. Notify the ministers of civil and military affairs, and everyone will come to greet you. People have come all the way to congratulate you, so you must give them some face."
This is a great event.
Li Er had the best face in his life, and Xiugasi had traveled thousands of miles across the prairie moraine, adding a bit of power and domineering to the great Tang Dynasty. How could he not be overjoyed? Therefore, it was decided to give Chigas the highest standard of reception.
After a pause, he added: "Invite Mr. Liang Guogong here too."
After Fang Xuanling became an official, he basically paid no attention to political affairs. He stayed at Lishan Farm all day long, teaching students, looking at the scenery, compiling his "Dictionary", and not going to the palace for leisure.
His Majesty Li Er's feelings for Fang Xuanling are very sincere.
This hero who defected to the army in his early years has been working diligently and conscientiously for many years. He first managed the army's accounts and books for His Majesty Li Er, went on many military campaigns, and then took charge of the Prince of Qin's Palace, managing secretaries, selecting talents, and managing documents. When a military memorial is issued, the horse is stopped and the work is completed. The text is simple and the meaning is rich. After serving as prime minister, he assigned posts according to his talents, served as provincial officials, enacted lenient laws and appointed people based on their merit.
Make strategic plans and determine the success of the country.
The most rare thing is that Fang Xuanling will always take care of all affairs neatly and will never cause the slightest trouble to His Majesty Li Er.
Compared with Fang Xuanling, Li Ji, who never took sides and was aloof and conceited, increasingly dissatisfied His Majesty Li Er...
As a prime minister, you should share the king's worries, but you are so innocent that no one can offend you. Instead, you blame all the troubles on the emperor. So what use do you have as a prime minister?
A minister who is unwilling to take the blame for the emperor is not a qualified minister.
In the past, Li Ji was the flagship figure in the army after Li Jing, and his loyalty was unquestionable. Therefore, His Majesty Li Er had great patience with him. Even if he was dissatisfied for a long time, he tried his best to suppress it and refused to break his face. He must take into account The face of the military.
But now that Fang Jun has risen rapidly, has become more and more powerful, and has become a faction of his own in the army, Li Ji's status no longer seems so important...
After all, the Fang family and his son are like my humerus. Any trouble can be solved completely... His Majesty Li Er thought to himself.
Queen Seondeok achieved her goal and stood up to leave.
His Majesty Li Er smiled and rewarded her with a bunch of gifts, and then watched her being led out of the palace by the palace maid.
Li Ke also stood up and said goodbye: "I am about to leave. I will check the items I brought with me again to avoid any omissions. In addition, I also want to give some instructions to everyone in the house."
His Majesty Li Er nodded, but then frowned and said: "Why are you so anxious? Forget it, go get ready quickly, and remember to take care of yourself."
"If you don't worry about my father, I will save you."
"Well, go ahead."
"My son, please retire."
Li Ke withdrew from the palace and hurried back to the mansion. He quickly handled all the chores and had already set off.
Otherwise, when the news gets out and that girl from Gao Yang finds out that it was her idea to marry into the Jin family, she will definitely be furious and won't let her go... It gives me a headache just thinking about it.
I complained about my father again in my heart,
As soon as he came out of the Dragon Palace, he saw the prince walking quickly towards him, and the two of them met.
"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."
Li Ke stood on one side of the road and bowed to salute.
Li Chengqian stepped forward and took Li Ke's hand, and said kindly: "Why are brothers so indifferent? Hey, you are in such a hurry, did your father arrange your mission?"
Li Ke stood up and said: "We are about to leave for Silla. There are many things in the house. Let's go back and deal with them."
Li Chengqian said: "Don't be so anxious. If you go to Silla now, it will not be easy for us brothers to meet each other in the future. We should stay a few more days and invite you brothers to a banquet one day, so that we can be close to each other. Let's go to see our father together. Your Majesty, I have something to come to see you, so please listen.”
Li Ke hesitated for a moment and said with a wry smile: "Queen Shande came to propose marriage just now and wanted to lend Princess Zhende to Fang Jun as a concubine. My father asked my opinion, what can I do, I can only say it is suitable... What if this happens? When that girl from Gao Yang heard about it, she made a lot of noise, so I decided to go back and pack my bags to avoid the limelight.”
Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, he understood Li Ke's situation and clicked his tongue...
My father is not particular. Queen Shande asked for her hand in marriage, and my father absolutely had no reason to refuse. However, before Fang Jun went to war, my father made the decision and agreed to the Xiao family to marry Xiao Shuer into the Fang family. Now that Fang Jun is going to war again, my father has decided to marry Xiao Shu'er into the Fang family. Get a Silla princess...
That girl Gao Yang was absolutely furious.
Rejection cannot be refused, so the father turned back and threw Li Ke into the pit... (End of Chapter)
