Chapter 2430 Li Er’s temptation
His Majesty Li Er calmed down, picked up a piece of pastry, ate a piece of pastry, and said: "You don't want to get married, so it's up to you as a father. After all, you are a little younger, so it doesn't matter if you delay it for a few years, but your sister Changle is already quite old. , what kind of custom is it to be obsessed with seeking immortality? ? There are some things that a father cannot say, but sisters can talk freely to each other. You should try to persuade her in your free time. After all, a woman must find a man to rely on. She can’t really stay with her father for the rest of her life. Isn’t that really outrageous? .”
A woman has three obediences, and there is no special way. Therefore, she obeys her father before she is married, she obeys her husband when she is married, and she obeys her son after her husband's death.
Although the Tang Dynasty was very graceful towards women, even those things that women were not allowed to do in previous dynasties could be said and done freely in the Tang Dynasty. However, the traditional "three obediences and four virtues" are deep-rooted rules that cannot be obliterated at any time.
This is the code of conduct for a woman.
Even if she is an imperial princess, has no worries about food, clothing, and status, but in the final analysis, mother is more valuable than her children, and no husband can do it. But if you have no children by your side, and you end up alone and helpless, that feeling is something that no matter how much status you have or how much wealth you have, you will never be able to live without a husband. Impossible to eliminate...
However, his two most beloved daughters seem to be unwilling to marry. How can His Majesty Li Er not be filled with worries and be depressed?
Princess Jinyang frowned, wondering: "It's not my daughter who refuses to persuade me, but my father and the emperor also understand Sister Changle's temperament. She seems to be gentle and virtuous, but in fact she is the most stubborn. Back then, she would rather swallow it herself." All the bitterness, I never said a bad word to Changsun Chong, all the bitterness and grievances are kept in my heart Here, she endured it silently, and when she couldn't live with it anymore, she would break away from him, no matter what the world looked at, no matter what the etiquette and etiquette were. She was really heartbroken by a man, and she would be afraid of being bitten by a snake for ten years. Jing Sheng, even if others try to persuade you, how can you listen?”
His Majesty Li Er secretly thought, I am not afraid that she will not listen, but I am most afraid that she will really have an admiration for Fang Jun. The so-called rumors may not be unfounded. Those rumors are spreading like wildfire, and the whole Guanzhong Street is aware of them. He didn't take it seriously at all.
Scandals are out of the question. The style of the Li Tang royal family has always been criticized by the people, and the royal family cares too much about it, but His Majesty Li Er cannot get over this hurdle in his heart.
You little bastard Fang Jun has already married one of my daughters, why do you dare to worry about the other one?
Is my daughter so worthless?
Glancing at Princess Jinyang, His Majesty Li Er considered for a moment. Seeing that there was no one around, he moved forward, got close to his daughter, and asked quietly: "I am the only one here with you, please say something to my father. To tell the truth, do you, Sister Changle, really care about you, and that’s why you are so reluctant to get married? Otherwise, even if someone comes to propose marriage, it will be all excuses and excuses.”
Princess Jinyang's beautiful eyes widened in an instant, and she looked at her father in disbelief. She was stunned for a long time and said: "This... my father is the king of a country. He rules the world as the supreme king. How can he peek into his daughter's family?" What’s on your mind? ”
His Majesty Li Er himself felt embarrassed. Whose father was as aggrieved as he was?
Blushing, he argued: "What are you talking about? Even though a father is the lord of the world and the king of the empire, he is still a father first. As a father, you should care about your children's concerns and always think about what is best for them. If you don’t even know what you want to leave to your children, , how can we talk about giving you happiness? Just tell your father, if Chang Le really has feelings for Fang Jun, then your father will find a way to make them happy, otherwise he will force her to marry someone she doesn't like and spend the rest of her life with it. How can a father feel at ease when he feels so miserable and miserable?”
Princess Jinyang tilted her head slightly, thought about it, and felt that what her father said made sense.
My father has already said that he will no longer use the princesses as bargaining chips for marriages in the future, and will try his best to allow each princess to marry a husband of his choice. And for Sister Changle, my father feels deeply sorry, and always thinks that it was him who He advocated marrying Sister Changle to Changsun Chong in order to maintain the alliance between the royal family and the Guanlong nobles, which in turn made Sister Changle entrusted with inhumane and depressed, and eventually had to end up in peace, wasting her great youth. years.
It seems to be a good idea to confide in the father, let the father know the thoughts of his daughters, and avoid sister Changle's tragic marriage from happening again.
When Princess Jinyang finished speaking, she looked up and saw her father's burning eyes. Her heart skipped a beat, she pursed her lips and swallowed back the words that were on her lips...
What the father said was very good, but he had always opposed the close relationship between sister Changle and brother-in-law Fang Jun. Why did he go out of his way and say that he was willing to help them?
If my father is lying to me, if I say something inappropriate and turn around, my father may embarrass brother-in-law Fang Jun...
Hum!
Do you really think I'm a child, so easy to coax?
Lowering her eyes, Princess Jinyang sat upright on her knees and said seriously: "Why do you think so, father? Brother-in-law Fang Jun is not only talented and a master of poetry, but he is also a man of great righteousness and kindness. Let me ask all the women in the world, how can I A person who doesn't want to get close to Fang Jun's brother-in-law? Although Sister Changle is a princess, she is also an ordinary woman. It is natural for her to admire such a talented brother-in-law. Moreover, her brother-in-law once risked his life to save sister Changle's life from a gangster. He admires talented people and has the kindness to risk his life to save her. How can sister Changle not be close to brother-in-law Fang Jun? As for the personal relationship that the emperor suspects? ...The woman really doesn’t know. If the father is too embarrassed to ask directly, how about the daughter turn around and ask Sister Changle and then give the father a reply?”
His Majesty Li Er stroked his beard and thought deeply, feeling that what Princess Jinyang said was correct.
A man like Fang Jun is from a noble family, has great talents, is a young and high-ranking official, and has made great achievements. How can any daughter in the world not like him?
Even the royal family of Silla, which was attached as a minister, was not willing to lend its princess to Fang Jun as a concubine?
Maybe... if you really care about it, you will be confused, and you are too sensitive?
As for letting Princess Jinyang ask Changle, of course it won't work...
"This matter ends here. It is just a private conversation between my father and you. There is no need to say that Yu Changle knows about it. Otherwise, according to her temperament, she will think that my father is prying into her thoughts and interfering with her thoughts. If she is angry because of this, , but not beautiful.”
Princess Jinyang curled her lips quietly and said it so nicely, so weren't you peeking into Sister Changle's thoughts and what were you doing?
His Majesty Li Er asked again: "Xiao Yao's wedding is in the autumn, and the days are not far away. The Wei family is poor, and the house was given to Wei Zheng by his father. It has not been repaired for more than ten or twenty years. I was afraid that I would offend Xiao Yao if I went in. Now that I have abundant funds, my father would not offend his daughter, so he started a family in Jingshanfang. Give her a house to live in after she gets married. If you have nothing to do, you and Xiao Yao can go there from time to time and take a look. If you like any scenery, tell the people from the Ministry of Works. Those guys only know how to build houses that are thick and strong. It is so durable that I would like to tear off the bricks from the Great Wall and build it into a gable. It really doesn’t look good.”
As long as she didn't talk about getting married, Princess Jinyang still liked to sit and chat with her father. She immediately happily put forward some of her opinions, saying that she and Xiaoyao would consult each other and build a house. A mansion to your liking...
*****
In the palace, His Majesty Li Er was happily discussing with his daughter which style of mansion would be more beautiful. In the Yamen of Dali Temple, Qiu Xinggong was brought into the main hall and underwent his first interrogation.
Changsun Wuji came back from the palace and thought for a long time. He felt that the task entrusted to him by His Majesty Li Er was really difficult to handle.
It is necessary to find out the mastermind behind the scenes and hold them accountable according to law. At the same time, we must pay attention to the implicated impact of the case. It must not cause turmoil in the court, affect the current prosperous and stable situation, let alone affect the Eastern Expedition starting next spring. And in this process, Changsun Wuji also seeks some benefits for the Guanlong nobles...
There were too many demands and too many restrictions. Changsun Wuji felt that it was too difficult for him.
After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't think of a perfect solution, so I had to be determined and try Qiu Xinggong first. No matter whether he had a date or not, I would hold him together first, just in case this case really didn't involve any important figures. ?
In the main hall of Dali Temple, Changsun Wuji sat firmly and looked at Qiu Xinggong who was escorted up. Qiu Xinggong was a key figure in both cases. If the final two cases had nothing to do with Qiu Xinggong, Changsun Wuji would rather die than believe.
The key question now depends on whether Qiu Xinggong will reveal the mastermind behind the scenes. If he bites the bullet and refuses to tell anyone, it will be the most ideal situation for Changsun Wuji... (End of Chapter)
