Chapter 227 Yu
"My mother~!" Princess Yuzhang held Queen Changsun's arm and begged mercilessly: "Son-member, don't marry that Wu Zuijian. Go and tell your father, okay, Queen Mother?"
As soon as she rushed back from Wushang City, Princess Yuzhang knew the whole story. Her father actually intended to promise her to Hou Junji's adopted son, Wu Zuijian.
"I won't marry, my mother," Princess Yuzhang stared at Queen Changsun's eyes pitifully. Now the only one who can help her is this mother who has always loved her very much.
"Wu Zuijian, a drunkard, wouldn't be more than a dying person if he married him."
When I met those literati in Qingfeng Pavilion, some people said that Wu Zuijian was a good martial artsman, but he was a wise man. Every time I went back to Chang'an, I would linger with the place of family love and love.
Moreover, Princess Wu Zuijian Yuzhang had also seen her. She was tall and wide shoulders, and she spoke like Hou Junji, the Minister of War. She was loud and loud and said with a rough voice. It was better to die if she lived with such a person.
"Ru'er," Empress Changsun took Princess Yuzhang to sit down on a stone bench, patted her little hand, and said softly: "If you are not romantic and innocent, how can you not be frivolous in your youth? You are greedy for wine and sex, all these are small problems. When you become a relative and become a companion in the future, you will be determined."
Seeing that Princess Yuzhang was still pouting, Queen Changsun chuckled and said, "I think Wu Zuijian, although she is a martial artist, looks handsome and is also the adopted son of the Minister of War. She is worthy of you. How can the father and mother push you into the fire pit, right?"
"But, Mother, I just don't want to marry me!" Yu Zhang almost cried. Seeing Empress Changsun's appearance, she seemed to be not going to tell her. This made Princess Yu Zhang feel a little disappointed. She has always loved her and loved her mother, but she doesn't care about her.
"Your father has settled this matter, but the mother is still powerless," Empress Changsun looked at Princess Yuzhang with heartache and said, "The marriage of children cannot be decided by themselves. In ordinary people's homes, aren't they all following the words of their parents' matchmakers? Ru'er, listen to the mother's words, just try to accept it, ah?"
Empress Changsun touched Princess Yuzhang's cheek, wiped away the tears that had flowed on her face, and said ruthlessly: "At the end of this month, when Hou Junji leads the army back from Tuyuhun, your father will announce your marriage in front of the civil and military officials of the court."
"Come on the fifteenth day of next month, your sister Gao Yang will also marry Fang Yiai, the second young master of the house, and the second prince of the house. According to your father's wishes, the wedding of the two sisters will be handled on the same day. Now the people from the Ministry of Rites have begun to prepare quietly." Empress Changsun glanced at Princess Yuzhang and said, "So, Ru'er, since it is something that cannot be changed by her mother, I will try to accept it. Otherwise, the last thing that will be bitter is yourself."
As a princess of the Tang Dynasty, it was only a matter of time to experience such a thing.
Looking at Yu Zhang at this moment, Empress Changsun couldn't help but think of her eldest daughter Changle. Didn't she beg her like this when she wanted to marry her into the Changsun family?
That girl, I am afraid she still hates me now? Changle hasn't even visited her when she was critically ill last time. Alas! Empress Changsun couldn't help but shake her head and sighed, hoping that Yuzhang wouldn't be like Changle in the future.
"My son is going to find my father. My father loves me so much that he will not let me do something I don't want me to do." Princess Yuzhang suddenly stood up, wiped away the tears that were unconsciously flowing from her face, and bent down to say goodbye to Queen Changsun.
"It's useless. You don't know your father's temper. Once he decides things, it won't change again." Empress Changsun looked at Princess Yuzhang standing in front of her, and stood up and said to her softly: "You've gone, it's just a way to make your father angry. Be good, listen to the Queen Mother's words, you can just agree with this."
After all, his arms can't twist his thighs. So what if Yu Zhang goes? Li Shimin's personality is the best understanding that he will never lose the opportunity to win over a strong minister for a princess. This is politics. Even if Li Shimin is so kind and loving to his daughter on weekdays, and some political disputes, he will become very cruel.
How could Yu Zhang, who has been familiar with poetry and books since childhood, not understand this? It’s just that she can’t do it for the time being and doesn’t want to accept it.
On weekdays, I saw so many sisters married by my father. Today, is it finally her turn?
"If it doesn't work, my mother, I'll beg the prince's brother. The prince's brother has always loved me, and he will definitely have a solution." Yu Zhang looked at Empress Changsun calmly and murmured.
"What did you say?!" Li Shimin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows up and looked at Li Chengqian and said, "When Wu Zuijian came back from the side, he used a horse to break one of Liu Laoshi's right leg in Sanyuan?"
How is this possible? Li Shimin tapped the table with his hand. As a general, he knew the ability of a soldier to control the horse. How could Wu Zuijian's horse step on Liu Yi's father's right leg?
Could it be that Wu Zuijian did it on purpose?
"Yes, Father," Li Chengqian bowed and replied: "My son just knew that Mr. Liu hurried back from Jiangnan just because of this."
Wu Zuijian was nominally Li Chengqian's elder brother-in-law, but he didn't please Li Chengqian much, otherwise Li Chengqian would not have reported this matter to Li Shimin for Liu Yi and Yu Zhang's words.
"Well," Li Shimin nodded gently. No wonder Liu Yiu would be willing to give up the "Liu Family Fat House". Is he trying to let me preside over justice for him?
"How did that Qu Tugan judge about this?" Li Shimin looked up and asked Li Chengqian.
"Accidentally injured, Wu Zuijian was sentenced to pay 30 pounds of silver for Liu Laoshi." Li Chengqian glanced at Li Shimin and said, "I heard that Liu Laoshi's right leg was helpless. Even Mr. Liu and Master Sun were helpless. It was considered useless."
"How is that?" Li Shimin nodded slightly. Although Qu Tugan's judgment was obviously biased, it was normal. Otherwise, wouldn't Wu Zuijian have to pay one leg?
In that case, if that old boy Hou Junji comes back, he will not be able to mess with Sanyuan? Li Shimin is often helpless about this irritable subordinate.
Moreover, Wu Zuijian is Yu Zhang's husband and cannot move.
Li Shimin quickly became scheming. He looked up and ordered Li Chengqian: "Find a remote place and let Qu Tugan go for two years to experience it, and then find a new county magistrate for Sanyuan. Well, let's go tomorrow."
Taking money and eliminating disasters with others is just a little reward for Liu Yi's "Liu Family Fat House".
"Yes, Father." Li Chengqian looked up at Li Shimin. Li Shimin's intention was obvious. Protect Wu Zuijian and abandon Qu Tu Zixu. Is this just giving Liu Yi one explanation?
Li Chengqian couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. He had originally expected Li Shimin to cure Wu Zuijian for intentional crime of hurting the people. No matter how bad he was, he would be spared the identity of his future son-in-law. Li Chengqian was extremely reluctant to marry Yu Zhang to Wu Zuijian. In his opinion, that Wu Zuijian was definitely not the best destination for her sister.
Li Chengqian bent over and exited from Li Shimin's study, and along the way, he reached the Lizheng Hall where Empress Changsun was.
In the hall, Empress Changsun was carefully teaching Xiao Zhinu to read and practice calligraphy. Li Chengqian glanced at him and said that Xiao Zhinu was reading "filial piety and brotherhood" and "Liu's calligraphy".
"My son is paying homage to the mother." Li Chengqian bowed to Queen Changsun near Queen Changsun, bowed to Queen Changsun, then raised his head, walked forward and took two steps, looked at Queen Changsun, and said softly: "Looking at Queen Changsun's recent complexion, it is even better than the past, and her body is much stronger, so Mr. Chen is relieved."
"Haha, my son Renxiao, well, sit down on the side, don't be too reserved when you are here. "Empress Changsun turned his head and looked at his eldest son, pulled him to sit down on the chair beside him, and said to him with a smile: "Speaking of all, Qian'er hasn't been to this Lizheng Hall for a few days, but has the official business been too busy recently?"
"The Queen Mother's Empress," Li Chengqian sat firmly and bowed to Queen Changsun and said, "I have been busy with the 'Liu family water truck' a while ago. Now I have to go and manage the 'Liu family fat house'. I have no time to come to pay my respects to the Queen Mother, and I would like to ask my mother for forgiveness."
"'Liu Family Fat House'?" Empress Changsun looked at Li Chengqian in surprise and said, "Isn't that Mr. Liu's property? Why do you, the crown prince of a country, have to take care of it?"
Empress Changsun's expression was a little displeased, and she thought that Li Chengqian had taken Liu Yi's property. Empress Changsun never forgot Liu Yi's benefactor.
"The mother misunderstood," Li Chengqian chuckled and said, "It was five days ago that Mr. Liu had already presented the 'Liu Fat House' to the court. Now, this 'Liu Fat House' has nothing to do with Mr. Liu."
Afterwards, Li Chengqian told Empress Changsun in detail about the causes and consequences of these things. Of course, there was also the case that Lao Liu was cut off from his right leg.
This was also the purpose of Li Chengqian coming to establish the Zheng Palace. He always felt that some things should be known to his queen mother.
