Chapter 503 Gao Yang's Request
Li Ke opened Princess Gaoyang's letter and began to read and read the letter carefully. Li Ke frowned. Gao Yang's letter wrote about her troubles. He was not disgusted with the marriage in front of him, but he had no good feelings. What should she do if she asked Li Ke? Also, her letter told Li Ke that the emperor had already discussed with Fang Xuanling that she would get married next year, and she didn't want to get married so early, so she wanted to ask Li Ke to delay the time.
Li Ke put the letter on the desk and began to think about this issue carefully
Fang Yiai will reach seventeen years old next year, which is the best age for marriage in the Tang Dynasty. So, Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling are both understandable, but when Li Ke was quite unhappy, Gao Yang's attitude is now very vague. She neither opposes nor supports this marriage, which puts Li Ke in a dilemma. What should we do? Should we completely terminate the engagement? Or should we just wait? Li Ke can do it for the extension of Fang Yiai's wedding date.
After thinking for a long time, Li Ke did not come up with any good countermeasures, so he could only decide to postpone the wedding date according to Gao Yang's request.
"Let Fang Yiai come to the Northern Palace" Li Ke passed the order, and since he had made a decision, he immediately began to implement it.
After giving the order, he began to reply to Gao Yang. The content of the letter was very simple, saying that he could postpone the marriage period, but the time would not be too long, at most about three years. If Gao Yang wanted to get in touch with the engagement within these three years, he could do anything, but after these three or four years, he was powerless and hoped that she would make a decision as soon as possible.
After writing the letter, Li Ke handed the letter to the guards after sealing it, ordered him to hand it over to Zhu Tong, and sent it to Chang'an using the black-clothed guard secret guard system.
As soon as the guard left, Fang Yiai came to the study room of the royal palace.
"Students have met the principal" Fang Yiai respectfully gave Li Ke a gift
"I heard that Fang Xiang and his father have decided to marry Gao Yang?" Li Ke asked straight to the point.
"My father mentioned this in the letter," Fang Yiai replied briefly.
"What do you think?" Li Ke asked
"The parents' orders and matchmakers' words, students should obey them," Fang Yiai replied, but when he spoke, he looked at Li Ke quietly for a few glances. After all, Li Ke is Gao Yang's elder brother, and his attitude is that Fang Yiai must not be disrespectful. Besides, Fang Yiai also saw that in order to protect Princess Gao Yang's proposal, Li Ke almost slashed Murong Shun's feat in Tai Chi Hall. Therefore, when he said this, he was still scared, afraid that Li Ke would not be tall.
Xing, he chopped himself up on the spot when he was angry with Li Ke, and Fang Yiai had no doubts at all. During the months he spent in Taiyuan City, especially during the few months he studied in the Army Academy, he had an understanding of Li Ke and the respect of Li Ke and the students of the academy. Therefore, in Fang Yiai's eyes, as long as Li Ke dared to do it, with his current power and influence in Taiyuan, there is nothing he could not do except rebellion.
"I don't care about your opinion on this marriage. I just want to tell you that if you want to marry a wife during your studies, you may be expelled from the Army Academy. Regarding this, the rules and regulations of the Army Academy have already clearly stipulated," Li Ke said solemnly, "Even if this is a marriage gifted by the father, the Army Academy cannot break its own rules and regulations just because you are alone. I hope you will consider it."
In fact, Li Ke knew very well how Fang Yiai would choose, so he dared to say this to Fang Yiai so confidently. Of course, the purpose was not to make Fang Yiai refuse marriage, but to postpone the wedding date. Li Ke also knew how Fang Yiai would choose. During this period of time in the Army Academy, he asked Wang Zhongchang to conduct special training on Fang Yiai, and found that this son was very capable of commanding troops and leading troops to fight. Fang Yiai's efforts also illustrate this point, that is, he likes military life, he likes to charge in battle, so Li Ke is very sure that Fang Yiai will not give up the opportunity to continue studying in the Army Academy. As long as Fang Yiai takes the initiative to propose a postponement of the wedding date, even if Li Shimin wants Li Ke to put pressure on Li Ke and let Fang Yiai get married first and then study, Li Ke will not compromise.
"Principal, students don't want to leave the Army Academy without graduation." Fang Yiai said to Li Ke without thinking, "Here I have learned a lot of things that are difficult to learn anywhere, such as military strategy, volleys of bows and horses, like doing things, etc. Students are proud of being in the Army Academy."
"I am optimistic about you. Among the more than 400 students in the Army Academy, you, Xue Li, Xue Chong, Meng Zhao, Yuwen Guo and Zhou Qing, are outstanding people. The future achievements are immeasurable, so I will say these things to you, but you will consider the major events of marriage, which are related to your life, so you can't play like this." Li Ke said lightly.
However, what Li Ke said was very artistic. He first praised Fang Yiai, and said that his future was limitless, and then put forward comforting words such as major marriage events. This had a certain impact on Fang Yiai, that is, his future was preconceived, which made Fang Yiai ignore the major marriage events mentioned by Li Ke later.
"The students have made a decision and thank the principal for their teachings." Fang Yiai said in a firm tone and unquestionable manner.
"Yeah, then you go back," Li Ke said lightly.
"No" Fang Yiai respectfully left the study room
Seeing Fang Yiai disappearing back, Li Ke's face showed a faint smile
In fact, Li Ke attaches great importance to Fang Yiai. Through his past training results and performance in this duel, he knew that Fang Yiai had changed a lot in the Army Academy. As long as four years of training, although he could not achieve such achievements like Xue Rengui, it was still possible to reach the level of Wang Zhongchang and Guo Shifeng. Therefore, he still did not want such talents to be lost from his hands. He did not want Fang Yiai to become the brave but lack of strategy in history after withdrawing from the Army Academy. Therefore, he would speak so earnestly to his students. In addition to agreeing to Gao Yang's request to postpone the wedding date, he sincerely hoped that Fang Yiai could study in the Army Academy for four years.
Because Li Ke himself knew that no matter at any time or in any issue, even if Li Shimin came forward, as long as he violated the rules and regulations of the Army Academy, he would not have favoritism. When he founded the Army Academy, he had a concept that the Army Academy was definitely not a single academy, nor was it a college that only serves the rulers. His Tang Dynasty’s academy was the foundation for the long-term stability of the Tang Dynasty in the future and the ability to dominate the world.
Therefore, Li Ke, who has such expectations for the Army Academy, will never bow to the imperial power when he is in the academy.
