Chapter 4509 Privacy Trick
Queen Su is slightly dissatisfied with Princess Huainan's response. Since the time of Emperor Taizong, Princess Jinyang has been one of the most favored princesses in the royal family. She is beautiful, intelligent, and kind. She is simply a model for princesses in the past. Today When it came to marriage, you didn't agree on the spot. Do you really think I couldn't hear the shirk in it?
It's just that she has a gentle personality, so her pretty face only slightly darkened and she didn't express her dissatisfaction verbally.
Princess Fangling's eyes flashed and she said with a smile: "The Bohai Feng family is a high-ranking family and is respected by the world. You really have to think carefully about the marriage of your legitimate son. It must be from a famous family in the world with five surnames and seven sects. Otherwise, the families are not equal and the households are not right. It has some impact on reputation.”
The nobles of Shandong pride themselves on their origins from China's Zhengshuo and Yanhuang. They overlook the world from a high place, and they pay most attention to pure blood and well-matched families. As for the general public, the Shandong nobles were indeed of higher status, and even the Li and Tang royal families were slightly inferior.
It is very possible that the Bohai Feng clan is unwilling to marry back a princess...
But even if this was indeed the intention, how could Princess Huainan dare to admit it?
Princess Huainan gritted her teeth and wished she could bite Princess Fangling to death. Not to mention that the Feng family was unwilling to Shang Princess. Even if they were willing, who knows whether the scandal between Princess Jinyang and Fang Jun is true or false?
After all, Jingzhao Weishi sent his "Qilin son" Wei Zhengju to serve as an official in Jiannan Road early, and he didn't even dare to return to Chang'an. It was because Jingzhao Weishi had the intention to marry Princess Jinyang, and Wei Zhengju was even more so. The deputy was determined to win the position, but he encountered Fang Jun's crazy suppression during the Guanlong Rebellion...
But he did not dare to say this, and was busy explaining to the Queen and Princess Jinyang: "I am not trying to shirk it, but my family has recently been impeached by the imperial censor. If I rashly marry the royal family, I will inevitably be regarded by the world as clinging to imperial power and flattering the people." I'm afraid it will damage the reputation of the royal family and Jinyang."
Queen Su was noncommittal and smiled calmly: "In this case, we should be more cautious."
Only then did she remember the recent turmoil that the Feng family had been in. It was said that Feng Deyi swore allegiance to Emperor Taizong publicly, but secretly connected with the prince Li Jiancheng. Even when Emperor Gaozu expressed his intention to depose Li Jiancheng and establish himself as King of Qin, Feng Deyi dissuaded him.
I don't know why this matter suddenly came out. A group of censors in the Yushitai were filled with indignation, shouting and killing. They wanted to deprive Feng Deyi of all his official titles and gifts, and hold him accountable for his crimes.
If this is really confirmed, what qualifications does the Feng family have to honor the princess?
He glanced at Princess Fangling, blaming in his heart, why did he mention this...
Princess Fangling smiled, picked up the tea cup and drank tea.
It's not that she has any conspiracy, she just wants to cause trouble for Fang Jun. That guy repeatedly rejected her advances, causing her to lose face. Don't you like Jinyang? Then I must mention Jinyang’s marriage and let Jinyang get married as soon as possible...
……
After several princesses of Emperor Gaozu finished discussing the business and left, Queen Su took Princess Jinyang's hand and said earnestly: "You are not young now, not to mention you have great filial piety, so you should take care of it as soon as possible." The marriage is settled, wait until Get married as soon as you have reached the filial piety period, otherwise, wouldn't it be a good thing to delay it again and again? Girls' age passes very quickly at this age, and everything goes by in the blink of an eye. If you are not engaged by the time you are seventeen or eighty, then it will be a big deal. Trouble.”
During the Zhenguan period, Emperor Taizong issued an edict stipulating that the legal age for marriage was twenty for men and fifteen for women. In fact, the age of marriage was greatly advanced for the aristocratic families and dignitaries. After all, for the aristocratic families who suffered heavy losses in the chaos of the late Sui Dynasty, reproduction was a Population is a top priority. If the age of marriage is advanced five years, one generation will be added within a decade. How can we wait until the age of twenty?
Therefore, generally speaking, a man can get married when he is fifteen years old and a woman has hair extensions.
If a lady from a famous family has not yet been engaged after the age of fifteen, her family background is not good, or she is disabled, and it will be difficult to find a good husband...
Don't say that the emperor's daughter has no worries about getting married. Because of the romantic affairs and arrogance and domineering of Emperor Gaozu's princesses, the reputation of the princesses of the Tang Dynasty is extremely bad. Who in a serious family is willing to marry a princess and make the whole family uneasy?
The two generations of emperors, Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Taizong, were so prestigious that they assigned their princesses to their meritorious children. No one dared to disobey their superiors and they all recognized them with their noses pinched.
But Li Chengqian does not have such a high prestige. If he wants to assign the princess to a family, the probability of being rejected is actually very high. They are all achievements that cost his life. He is very tough and can even do things like mutiny. Again and again, it is too normal not to give Li Chengqian face.
And those whose family status is too low are not worthy of the royal family, so the range of choices for a prince-in-law is actually very small...
Princess Jinyang lowered her eyes and said obediently: "Oh, then I'll trouble my sister-in-law."
She can't refuse a marriage proposal, but she can choose. For example, this one is not as good as her brother-in-law in literature, that one is not as strong in martial arts, and the other one is not as good-looking as my brother-in-law... She can't just marry me off casually. Get one that I don’t like, right?
Anyway, just drag it.
The queen smiled and said: "What kind of trouble is this? My father, emperor and mother are gone, and you are the most important person of His Majesty and this palace. I must find a suitable family for you. But I have seen that Feng Simin." , although you are two years younger, but He has extraordinary literary talent, quick thinking, and good looks. When he gets married in the filial period, he will be at the right age and is considered a good match. I will talk to Your Majesty later and see how to deal with it. After all, the Feng family is in some trouble now." br>
The impeachment of the Feng family by the Yushitai was not small. Many censors clamored to deprive Feng Deyi of all his titles and gifts. If this was really the case, the Feng family would suffer a disastrous decline, which may not be suitable for Princess Jinyang.
Let your majesty explore the details of Yushitai and see what kind of punishment the Feng family will receive, and then it is not too late to make a decision...
Princess Jinyang sat with an upright posture, her slender waist was straight, and her beautiful face was somewhat rosy. She whispered softly: "A sister-in-law is like a mother, and the queen can make the decision."
Shui Yingying's eyes narrowed slightly, did the Queen fall in love with Feng Simin?
If the queen begged the emperor's brother to come forward, and the punishment of the Feng family would not be very serious, then the chance of this happening would be high.
It's a little dangerous...
Princess Changle, who was quietly drinking tea in Yun Danfeng, glanced at Princess Jinyang and saw her eyes twinkling. She suddenly felt something in her heart and warned: "This is a serious matter, so don't play tricks on me."
Princess Jinyang was startled, and quickly raised her face with a bright and bright smile: "Marriage matters are naturally decided by the matchmaker ordered by the parents. Since the parents are no longer here, of course it is the emperor's brother and the queen's sister-in-law who make the decision."
Princess Changle snorted softly. She understood that this younger sister looked dignified and elegant but was actually an eccentric character. She was not gullible, but she said no more.
……
After returning to her palace, she took a shower and changed clothes under the service of the maid. Princess Jinyang knelt down on the mat in front of the window, squinting at the courtyard under the sunset outside the window. Her back was straight, her posture was elegant, and her whole body was revealing. A ladylike temperament.
After a while, she called her personal maid in front of her and ordered: "Go to Xuanwu Gate immediately to see if your brother-in-law is there. If he is, invite him over and say that I have important matters to discuss with you. If he is not, you will wait. There, wait until your brother-in-law appears, no mistake.”
"Here."
The maid bowed in agreement and quickly took the two people out, heading straight for the Xuanwu Gate.
Princess Jinyang felt uneasy in her heart. This time, it seemed that the queen had her mind set on her marriage. She was determined to get her marriage, and she couldn't delay it if she wanted to. She could only make the decision from the man's side, and make the Feng family retreat in spite of the difficulties.
And the only one who can help her and give her complete trust is Fang Jun.
After all, my brother-in-law must not be willing to marry himself...
Princess Jinyang changed from kneeling to sitting cross-legged, resting her elbows on her knees and supporting her chin with her palms. She looked out the window in a daze at the white snow under the sunset, and her bright eyes were dyed with a layer of magnificent gold.

Establishing Jinwu Guards is a very cumbersome matter. It seems that it is not complicated to cancel the left and right garrison guards and add left and right Jinwu Guards. However, it is necessary to reorganize the original two guards into two new guards, and the functions will be greatly increased, especially the elimination of The power of the Chai family in the original Zuotun Guards transferred some officers to join the two guards. Various affairs were complicated, and they had to be alert and not negligent in the slightest.
The most important thing is that the original left guard was not familiar with firearms, let alone the theory, formation, equipment maintenance, and logistics of firearms combat. It was necessary to disperse all the left and right guards and use the generals and soldiers of the right guard who were familiar with firearms to lead the army. The discord and even hatred among the Zuotun guards, including the allocation of generals and schools, the deployment of soldiers, and even the avoidance of some generals and schools were enough to make the entire Jinwu Guard leadership very anxious.
After all, after forming the army, the left and right Jinwu Guards were not only responsible for Chang'an garrison and palace guards, but also were in charge of the city's fire ban, public security, anti-theft and other matters. The matter was so big that no slack was allowed, so Fang Jun spent these days I spent most of my time at Xuanwumen, lest I miss anything.
The busy business came to an end, and when I looked up, I saw that the sky was already full of sunset. The heavy snow stopped suddenly, and the sky and the earth were silvery white. The rays of rays of light shone brightly on it, and it was so beautiful that it was a bit dazzling.
Just as he was about to prepare dinner, a soldier quickly walked in: "Commander Qi, His Highness Jinyang has sent someone to meet you on important matters."
Fang Jun was stunned: "Let her come in."
"Here."
The soldiers exited. Fang Jun poured himself a cup of herbal tea and took a big sip. Then he saw a maid entering under the guidance of the soldiers.
"My servant is here to see the Duke of Yue. Your Highness, please come to the palace to discuss important matters."
"Now?"
Fang Jun frowned and glanced out the window. The setting sun had already set, and the afterglow gradually dissipated. The sky was getting darker at a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye. Although the keys to the various palaces in the palace had not yet been locked, it was already late after all. He had to go to Princess Changle to return the wedding. Well, after all, everyone inside and outside the palace knew about the closeness between the two, but it would be very inappropriate to go to a princess who was not yet married and was waiting to be married.
