Chapter 490
Chang'an.
As soon as Chai Shao entered Beijing, he did not return to the mansion, but went directly to the East Palace.
When Li Shimin heard that the Marquis outside Chai Shao's Palace was surprised, he said, "Chai Shao will be in Beijing today?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I just entered the capital and came directly before I even returned to the Duke of Qiao's mansion." The eunuch reported.
Li Shimin put down the memorial in his hand, stood up, and paced with his hands behind his back. This matter was really embarrassing. Chai Shao came to the East Palace as soon as he returned to Beijing, and he obviously felt resentful.
To be honest, Li Shimin admired Chai Shao very much. When he was in Chang'an, he was just a teenager at that time, but Chai Shao was already a handsome young man and had a good relationship with his elder brother. At that time, Chai Shao was very prestigious among the nobles in the capital and was respected by many nobles.
At that time, Li Shimin admired Chai Shao's elegant and elegant style very much and followed many times.
Even if you don’t mention the youth, Li Tang Jian and Chai Shao have put in a lot of effort. Although Chai Shao had a better relationship with the deposed prince Jiancheng, he was still a very reliable and capable person after all. But because of the affairs of Sanniang and Li Chao, he had to recall such a reliable general.
"Go and invite the eldest princess right away."
Although things are very troublesome, Li Shimin still hopes to invite the princess to let the couple meet clearly. Li Chao has also gone to Shuofang now. As long as the princess and Chai Shao explain it clearly, there may be room for rescue in this matter.
Princess Pingyang heard that Chai Shao was back, so she went directly to the East Palace, with a very dull look.
"Princess, I went to the East Palace to meet the prince-consort. You must have a good talk. You have been married for so many years, and everyone says that a couple will be kind to one day, but don't say it's time to leave." The old man in the mansion persuaded.
Li Xiuning shook her head, "Things are a foregone conclusion."
"Oh, can't you save it? Let's give in. Then Li Pingzhang has gone to Shuofang, and that's also a heartless person. Princess, don't put your thoughts on him anymore. It's better to live a good life with Prince Chai. If you don't talk about anything else, you have to think about the two little guys."
"There is nothing to consider. Both children can follow me or follow Chai Shao."
"Let the coachman prepare the carriage, I'll go to the East Palace."
Li Xiuning is a stubborn person. Things that have made up their minds cannot be changed at all.
Eastern Palace.
Li Shimin and Chai Shao sat face to face. After Chai Shao met, he didn't say anything. Li Shimin didn't know what to say. Looking at Chai Shao's appearance, he became much haggard.
"Actually, you are summoned back because you need to deal with some things." Li Shimin said.
"I know, please don't want me, the eldest prince." Chai Shao said bluntly.
Li Shimin was speechless, "It's not what you thought, but Sanniang felt that the relationship between you two was a little weak and she was not together for many years, so she said some anger. I'm asking you to come back now, just hope that you two will get along well. After all, Zhewei and Lingwu are so big, and you two have been in love for many years."
"Fellowship? Maybe there was, but now it's gone. When Sanniang ran to Li Chao's mansion every day, did she take into account our feelings? When the scandal between her and Li Chao was rumored, did she take into account the relationship between Chai Shao? Even if he didn't consider me, did she consider Zhewei and Lingwu? No, Sanniang is a selfish woman. If she was not a royal princess, I, Chai Shao, would have divorced her long ago."
"She is a princess, now the eldest princess, and has a unique status. I, Chai Shao, can't settle her, so let her settle me. This life is really impossible. I know that I am not younger than Li Chao, not more funny than him, without Li Chao's talent, I can't study history, write poetry and lyrics, nor can I speak like Li Chao, nor will I be shameless and good-fathered women like Li Chao, and other people's wife. Since that's the case, it's easy to break up. In the future, Chai Shao is Chai Shao, and her third wife is her third wife. Whether she wants to be with Li Chao or Zhang Chao, it has nothing to do with me. I just want Your Majesty to bring the two children to my Chai family."
"Sichang, suppress the anger."
Chai Shao's face was so angry that his face was turbulent, and the Li family was too bullying.
"Your Majesty, what I said is all about my heart. I don't want to care about those messy things anymore. Li Chao is unwilling to divorce his wife? I still admire him a little. Haha, Li Chao is unwilling to divorce his wife and refuses to marry the eldest princess. She must be very disappointed. Do you think Li Chao will throw away his wife and marry her? Haha. Now, Li Chao would rather demote Shuofang than divorce his wife and marry her, and then she will reconcile her relationship with me? Bah!"
Chai Shao became more angry the more he spoke.
"Chai Shao, don't swear by blood." Li Xiuning came in with a pale face.
"I never said I wanted Li Chao to divorce his wife and marry me."
Chai Shao turned his head and looked at Li Xiuning with disdain. It is said that a couple has a hundred days of kindness, but if a couple who have been with him for many years has turned their faces, they can say anything bad.
"Do you dare to say that you and Li Chao are innocent? Do you dare? Do you dare to swear to the sky that you are innocent?" Chai Shao asked.
Li Xiuning looked frosty.
She opened her mouth, but the words were at the end, but she couldn't say them.
What is innocence? For a woman, although she and Li Chao have never had any illegitimate affairs, her attitude towards Li Chao in her heart has indeed violated etiquette and law, and violated the morality of her and Chai Shao and her husband.
"Hmph, I can't say it anymore? I thought you would shamelessly deny it. It seems that you are still a little ashamed. No one wronged you. Now Li Chao is tired of playing and pats his butt and leaves. What else do you want to say to me? Bad bullshit, I don't want to say anything to you. Just live with you, and live with you now!"
Li Shimin looked at the pale face of the third lady and felt very distressed.
"Chai Shao, stop talking!" Li Shimin shouted.
"One of you is the eldest princess and the other is the emperor. You want Li and I to stop talking, there is no problem."
Li Shimin was trembling with anger.
Li Xiuning was a little calmer.
"Sichang, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for the Chai family, I have no shame to live with you. Let's have peace of mind, don't argue or make trouble, and be peaceful and peaceful. If you want Zhewei and Lingwu to follow you, just let them come to see me occasionally in the future. As for the manor, fields, money, shops, etc. at home, you can take them all."
Li Shimin wanted to persuade him, "Sanniang."
"Erlang, don't persuade us. We can't live like this. We are not sweet and we will not be happy even if we force ourselves to continue. We can get together and part with each other, and we will be fine."
It’s not about divorce.
The law stipulates that if one is in harmony and in harmony, one does not sit.
Divorce means divorce between two wishes and divorce agreement.
The husband needs to sign and release his wife's letter, rather than divorce.
Chai Shao directly asked for paper and pen and started writing a book with his wife. After putting the paper on his wife, he pressed the handprint to stamp it, and it was done.
"As you said, it's easy to gather and split up, and the family property is still yours, and the total one is half of each person."
Li Xiuning took the letter from Hang Wife and looked at it carefully, feeling a little dazed.
It’s the end of her life for many years. At this moment, she felt very complicated, but she couldn’t explain what she felt, so she definitely didn’t regret it.
Chai Shao looked at Li Xiuning's trance and felt a little heartbroken.
"Sanniang, from now on, we will be passers-by. But I still want to advise you here, I know you are not the kind of unrestrained person, and you must have feelings for Li Chao. But you must open your eyes when you see people in the future. Li Chao is definitely not your good match. He will not divorce his wife, and he will not marry you. Don't look for those unfaithful people. If you look for them, just find a better man than me and Li Chao. You are still young, don't be wronged."
After saying that, Chai Shao said goodbye to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin sighed, walked to Chai Shao, and walked out with his arm in his arms.
"It's really a pity to see what happened today. But now that we are separated, we can be considered a good separation. Sichang, you should rest at home for a while and adjust yourself. You are still the pillar of my Tang Dynasty, and the court still needs to value yours. When you adjust, you will be given an important task."
Chai Shao nodded.
When he left the hall, he said to Li Shimin, "Your Majesty, I really have to rest at home for a while now, and I feel very confused. I want to fly to Shuofang and chop Li San with one knife."
Li Shimin nodded, "To be honest, I also want to cut Li San, that unfaithful person with one knife."
"Forget it, the relationship is not good. Although Li San betrayed Sanniang, he made contributions to the Tang Dynasty. He killed Liang Shidu in half a month and returned to the new day of the month. I have to admire him."
"But I still have to remind Your Majesty that Li Chao has made great contributions to recapturing Shuofang, but Li Chao wants to use troops to Fengzhou, which is very dangerous. The Tang Dynasty is now in ruins, and the upper and lower parts are full of empty airs. The Turks have been in great strength in rest and rest over the years, and it is an irresponsible adventure to start a war without more than ten thousand preparations."
"Li Chao is a little too arrogant. He cannot let him take the fortune of the Tang Dynasty to bet on his fame and fortune. I ask Your Majesty to issue an edict immediately to transfer Li Chao back to Beijing and replace a steady general to guard Shuofang!"
Li Shimin pondered.
"Sichang, are you really not optimistic about this battle?"
"Your Majesty, we have some family background, and then you won't know? Even if we destroy the Liang Shidu and recover Shuofang, so what? Our family background is still the same. If we regain Shuofang, we will be too confident and start a war with the Turks rashly, the consequences may be unimaginable. I think that we are not in a hurry to start a war with the Turks at the moment, but we send envoys to meet Jie Li and reiterate the meaning of peace with him."
Li Shimin nodded, "What you said makes sense. I will consider these with the prime ministers. You have worked hard all the way, so go back and rest well. Don't be too sad about your affairs with Sanniang. To be honest, you are also a dignified Duke of Qiao, with a title of one thousand households and an important minister of the court. Even if you ask to marry a wealthy woman like Cui Zheng as a wife, there is no problem."
Chai Shao sighed. Although he had already written a letter to release his wife and divorced the princess, it was still a pity that he had reached this point. (To be continued.)
