Chapter 2 Do you have a daughter at home?
Chapter 2: Do you have a daughter at home?
Early in the morning, the morning of the couple of Wei's family began with the cry of the babies, and then it was a busy, chaotic, and slumped morning. In fact, if Xie Jiu was the only one, everything would be smooth and orderly. However, there was an extra fool named Wei Chi, and things were messed up. He... he really helped the more he was, making Xie Jiu smile bitterly. In the end, he could only stop him, so he could not see his busyness, and also gave her a very busy feeling.
After changing diapers, feeding them all, they finally got it done, and they made the two children laugh. After feeding them, they started to sleep loudly again. After wiping their sweat, Wei Chi sighed: "It's really tiring to take care of the child. Why don't we hire a nurse or a nanny?"
Xie Jiu smiled faintly: "No need, the current staff is enough, just take your time. You should go into the palace and you still have to report your life today."
Wei Chi nodded and was about to go out. Before leaving, he leaned over and chirped the twins' faces twice, and then whispered on Xie Jiu's smiling face before he went out happily.
Xie Jiu smiled and shook his head, lowered his head to calculate his work. In the clinic, Xie Jiu found three doctors with good medical ethics to take charge. She and Sun Simiao and Wei Chi, who only went there when there were special cases. Ordinary patients were handed over to those three. Sun Simiao was busy doing research, while Xie Jiu was busy taking care of the children, managing the family's industries, and helping Wei Chi deal with some trivial things. She was simply a typical example of a virtuous person.
Xie Jiu is very satisfied with her current state, relaxed and without any pressure, which makes her feel physically and mentally happy. This feeling, this state is a fantasy in modern times. Everyone has pressure, just depends on the size. Lazy and elegantly stretched, Xie Jiu started her work for the whole day.
Wei Chi ran into the palace. Now it was the time for the Lexingan Hall to discuss politics. Eunuch Huang led him in, sat down in his seat, listened silently, waiting for His Majesty Li Er to pay attention to him. However, when he sat down, unexpectedly, in the crowd, Wei Chi saw a person - Hou Junji.
By the way, the Tuyuhun War is over?! Hurry up your ears and listen to what you said about the political discussion today. It is best to have another war. Then send Hou Junji out to save him from being bothered all day long. Although he is not afraid of him, being stared at every day is not a comfortable thing. How can you think of a trick to get rid of the girl? Wei Chi frowned and thought hard.
In the Hall of Reizheng, the Emperor of the Tang Empire was happy about the Tang army's victory over the Tuyuhun War again. However, this war was nominally helpful to the Tuyuhun vassal state to quell the rebellion.
Tuyuhun committed suicide last time Murong Fuyun was defeated and committed suicide. His son Murong Shun surrendered and was named Gandou Khan. Unfortunately, this man had been hostage in the Tang Dynasty for a long time and had no prestige in the country. He had only been a Khan for a short time. His son Nuo Hobo was made Khan. Nuo Hobo was still young and had no prestige. The country was in chaos, rebellious rebellion, and the Tang Dynasty had to send troops again to help quell the rebellion. The one who led the troops to help Tuyuhun quell the rebellion was Hou Junji.
Hou Junji is a man. Although he is not very good at character, he is indeed a good player in the military and war. Wei Chi frowned and recalled for a long time. It seems that after Hou Junji won the battle, he would follow Li Jing to learn military tactics. It is said that after he learned military tactics with Li Jing, he also went to His Majesty Li Er to sue Li Jing for a black lawsuit, saying that Li Jing was hiding his own private affairs and was preparing to rebel, and refused to teach him all his abilities.
After hearing this, Emperor Taizong called Li Jing to blame him. Li Jing said, "This king is rebellious. In the middle of Xia, what my ministers teach is enough to control the four barbarians. Now the king is seeking all the skills of his ministers, so he will have different ambitions. Unfortunately, Emperor Taizong did not accept it at that time, and when Hou Junji rebelled, Emperor Taizong remembered Li Jing's words and regretted it too late. Li Jing had already returned to the west.
Thinking of this big gossip, Wei Chi wondered whether he was coming to find Li Yaoshi. It seemed that he was now troubled by foot disease. It seemed that Wei Chi and his wife were now called the Great Tang Dynasty genius doctors, known as the Medicine King Sun Simiao.
While thinking about his thoughts, Wei Chi was distracted from the discussion in the Lizheng Hall. After talking about the war in Tuyuhun, somehow the topic turned to the marriage. Wei Chi heard it carefully and realized that it was the Tubo Zanpu who sent someone to propose marriage and asked to marry a princess of the Tang Dynasty. Nuohun of Tuyuhun also sent an envoy, saying that when he became an adult, he wanted to marry a princess of the Tang Dynasty. In the Lizheng Hall, this was the matter discussed, and there were both those who agreed and those who opposed it.
"I object!"
As everyone was discussing, Wei Chi jumped up, raised his hand quickly, staring at the old man who was talking about this. He knew him, named Yu Zhining, and vaguely remembered that he was one of the eighteen bachelors in Zhenguan, and he was also a historical celebrity of all sizes.
Wei Chi shouted out with a shout, and everyone in the Lizheng Hall looked at him in unison. His Majesty Li Er remembered Wei Chi's attitude when Tubo Zanpu came to ask for marriage. He looked at him with a smile and asked, "Zi Yue, what are you against?"
Wei Chi coughed and said, "Oppose marriage! Oppose marriage in any name or method! You can ask the Khan to send their daughter to our Tang Dynasty. Our Tang Dynasty daughter will not marry foreign tribes!"
As he said this, everyone in the hall smiled. Yu Zhining said in a harmonious voice: "Master Wei, this marriage is a way to buffer and win over. Please look at the map."
As he said that, Yu Zhining stood up, surrounded the huge map spread in the hall, pointed to the location of Tuyuhun, and said, "Please see, there are many foreign countries around our Tang Dynasty, Tuyuhun, Gaochang, Western Turks, Tubo, Nanzhao and other tribes. Now, the Eastern Turks have been destroyed. Tuyuhun and Gaochang are my vassal states of the Tang Dynasty. The Tubo area is vast, but it is in a poor and cold place. For the time being, it cannot become a big climate. If you win it over, it will not be a big harm. Please turn your eyes to the Western Turks and Goryeo are the first things that our Tang Dynasty needs to solve now. After they are solved, it will be no longer too late to free up your hands to solve the Tubo, Tuyuhun, Nanzhao and other tribes."
Wei Chi said: "Thank you for your advice, but I have a question below to ask Master Yu, and I would like to ask you all the adults who advocate marriage."
"Please speak by Lord Wei."
Wei Chi had a serious expression on his face and said, "Why is the goal of the country establishing an army?"
Yu Zhining said with gaze: "Expanding territory and expanding territory, defending the country, what the king's flag points to, and what our army wants."
Wei Chi asked again: "I would like to ask, what does this family mean when defending the country? Or, in the minds of adults, what is this family like?"
"There are both parents, there is a wife and a child."
Wei Chi seemed to be smiling, with a sarcastic expression: "Since all adults say that, the responsibility of the army is to defend the country, why do we have to rely on a mere weak woman to marry? Isn't a woman within the scope of her family?"
After Wei Chi said this, the people in the hall were suffocated, and even His Majesty Li Er's face slid a little embarrassedly, and he said in a deep voice: "Wei Chi, you are arrogant!"
Wei Chi raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, this is my heartfelt words. I have to say it. If I don't say it, I will not be happy in the future! Even if your Majesty wants me to have my head today, I will also say it."
After saying that, he knelt down with a thud and kowtowed to His Majesty Li Er. His Majesty Li Er stared at Wei Chi, took a breath, calmed down his emotions, and said, "Okay, you say."
Wei Chi pondered for a while, organized the language and said, "Your Majesty, the princesses, and the number of marriages in all dynasties has been countless. It is a common way of checking and balance and building a good political method. I don't have much knowledge and do not understand politics, but only from the perspective of an ordinary commoner. In the past dynasties, there are more princesses who marry far away, and not to mention the distance, just talk about the Han Dynasty, right? Princess Xijun's "Song of Sorrow in Autumn", you have more than us.
All knowledge should know that the poor weak woman was only twenty-five when she died. And Wang Zhaojun, Cai Wenji, etc., who did not have a miserable fate? I wonder if you have calculated that the peace exchanged for weak women lasted for? Those episodes are feeding unfamiliar wolves. We give them our precious daughters, our food, and our hard-earned money, but when they are not satisfied, when should they fight?”
Xue Yuanjing said: "Mr. Wei, I don't agree with your statement. The purpose of our marriage is to exchange for a buffer time of just over ten years. When the Tang Dynasty develops, the national strength will be stronger, and we will have a time to deal with them. Things must be prioritized. The most urgent thing now is Goryeo, Western Turks, not Tubo. What's the harm in comforting him for a while?"
Wei Chi sneered: "Mr. Xue, right? I wonder if Mr. Xue has a daughter at home?"
"There is indeed a daughter in the next year. Do Lord Wei want to be the son-in-law of the next?" Xue Yuanjing was still in the mood to joke, which made everyone in the hall laugh.
Wei Chi sneered: "I don't think about being Lord Xue's son-in-law anymore. If I don't have that blessing, I dare not have that blessing. May I ask Lord Xue, a husband and a father, does he have the responsibility to protect his wife and children?"
"Of course!"
"Since Lord Xue also agrees, why do you have to seek so-called peace with a weak woman? Where do you place us husbands and fathers? Where do you place thousands of soldiers in the Tang Dynasty? If the peace of the country requires a weak woman to seek it, then all the soldiers, fathers and husbands can jump into the lake and commit suicide, and die of shame!"
"I have many soldiers and generals, and many talents. The country's development is prosperous. In such a great country, when will it become a big country that needs to rely on a weak woman to commit to the outside world to seek temporary peace? A man, a real man, when a crisis comes, he does not want to protect his wife and daughter, but stand up to protect him. Instead, he wants to throw out a daughter to seek temporary peace. If Lord Xue tells your daughter, Daddy, Daddy is still weak and lacks strength, you should marry him first and exchange for more than ten years of peace for your father. When his father's strength grows, then defeat him! Lord Xue, may you say it?"
Xue Yuanjing's face turned blue and white, his face was full of shame, his face turned purple, and he stuttered: "Mr. Wei, how can this state affairs be the same as family affairs? You can't... you can't generalize it!"
Wei Chi snorted coldly and said, "Sorry, Lord Xue, I didn't have much knowledge of the knowledge and didn't know how to say the great truth. I only know this kind of straightforward metaphor. In this way, I can express my feelings! If Lord Xue doesn't understand the experience of marrying the princess, you can go home to read the history books. Don't read it more. Just look at the thirteen princesses who married in the Han Dynasty. How many of them have had good deaths? Some of them committed suicide, and some of them died of depression and illness. After reading it, don't forget to write a review to your daughter..."
"Okay! Wei Chi, stop talking!"
Wei Chi's words made everyone in Lizheng Hall feel uncomfortable. I originally thought it was a good suggestion. Now, after interpreting it from Wei Chi's mouth, why does it sound so awkward to hear people? Even His Majesty Li Er's face was hot.
Wei Chi said: "Your Majesty, I have a suggestion. If you really want to marry, please ask Your Majesty to accept the daughter of Xue as your adopted daughter, and sign her as a princess, so that she can marry her! By the way, Lord Xue, if you don't understand the environment and climate of your country, you can volunteer to help and inform them of their customs. Oh, by the way, the most important thing is that after their father dies, the son can still marry his father's wife. That is to say, if your daughter goes to marry and unfortunately meets the old Khan dies, you don't have to worry about being a widow, and you can continue to marry your son. What a good treatment, right?"
When Wei Chi said, Xue Yuanjing was trembling all over, his face turned red, and he pointed at Wei Chi's fingers, trembling, and opened his mouth to curse. After thinking for a long time, he cursed: "The prince is not enough to make a plan!"
"Okay! It's not over yet!" His Majesty Li Er shouted violently, stopping the two of them, and if he didn't stop him, Wei Chi's smug expression was probably angered by him.
"Let's just come here today. Let's discuss it another day. Let's have a breakup. Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Wuji, Wei Chi, and everyone else will leave."
"Yes, your Majesty."
When the ministers retreated, they glanced at Wei Chi who was still kneeling, with a strange expression. Wei Chi was stammering his neck, but he didn't bow his head, and looked like he was indifferent, looking like he was not able to talk about it.
After everyone left, His Majesty Li Er smiled bitterly and cursed: "You kid are usually slippery like a loach. If you have this stubborn temper, you are not afraid of death!"
Wei Chi said firmly: "Your Majesty, this is a matter of principle! There is no need to talk about it! Marriage is always just a humiliation, but a disguised surrender, without the so-called glory! What history books say is all lie! I, the Tang Dynasty, must not do that kind of thing, otherwise, I will be embarrassed to call myself a Tang Dynasty again when I go out!"
"presumptuous!"
Wei Chi's head drooped and said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty wants to hit me again? Just fight me, I am unpleasant to say goodbye. If Your Majesty doesn't like to listen, forget it."
