The emperor promoted Jiancheng's daughter to Princess Guide and gave her to marry Wei Zheng's son, Wei Shuyu, the imperial censor. This was something that no one in the government and the public expected. The daughter of Prince Yin married the son of Xima of the old East Palace.

Intriguing?

However, the criticism between the government and the public was limited to small-scale discussions. Most of the scholars who had always been "bold" kept silent about this, not because of anything else, but because the betrothal envoy was in charge of the internal guard - the crown prince.

-Li Chengqian, no one wants to be invited to the prison for tea because of this matter.

Marriage granted by the emperor is a very troublesome matter. Not only do the newlyweds have to go to the palace to pay homage to the emperor and thank the Supreme Lord for his grace, but Princess Xi Zheng Guanyin also has to enter the palace to talk to the queen about herself;

With respect, Li Chengqian specially ordered to go down and take the princess into the palace with the honor guard.

Later, he and Crown Princess Dugu Miaoyin were waiting in front of the palace gate. The Tang Dynasty governed the world with benevolence and filial piety. As the crown prince of the country, Li Chengqian should set an example and become a model of filial piety, so he must be welcomed in person;

Of course, the main reason for this is that Li Chengzong committed suicide by taking poison and saved himself "trouble". After all, there was a gentleman's agreement between them.

"How can I be so virtuous as to be able to work for His Highness and His Majesty to welcome His Highness and his wife? This would be a disgrace to me. How can I bear this?" Princess Xi, who was being caressed by Dugu Miaoyin, said to Li Chengqian with a smile.

"As my aunt said, you are an elder and you will not enter the palace all year round. If your nephew doesn't come out to greet you, wouldn't it be the family's responsibility to serve you!" After stepping forward and bowing, Li Chengqian hurriedly responded.

"Okay, okay, I am ashamed to accept His Highness's kindness. After all, they are here today only because of His Highness's help. Tomorrow, I will ask them to go to the East Palace to thank His Highness for his great kindness!"

"My aunt has offended my nephew. What can a few words from my nephew do? This is all His Majesty's grace. Come on, please be patient. My nephew will accompany you to meet your mother." After saying this, Li Chengqian turned to Zheng Guanyin.

He turned to his side and walked to the back hall with the help of the Crown Princess.

After the ceremony, Zheng Guanyin said all her good words and looked extremely respectful. Empress Changsun was very happy to coax her. The two sisters-in-law were in harmony. This is not difficult to understand. After all, the emperor's words were true.

The two daughters left behind by Jiancheng were given special treatment.

Wen Xi's husband, Liu Xuanyi, is not a big official, but he is a close servant in the East Palace. He is modest and treats Wen Xi very well. Even if he does not become a high-ranking official in the future, he can live a peaceful life, which is rare.

A good match.

As for Wei Shuyu, although he is a widower, he is indeed a humble gentleman, and his clear and clear official policy is obvious to both the government and the public. In addition, his troublemaking father has already retired from office and will no longer cause trouble to his descendants. He can find such a stable family for Guide.

This shows that the emperor's intentions are upright. Isn't this worthy of gratitude?

"Sister-in-law, Wen Xi and Gui De now have a home, and you are relieved of your courage. Once Li Fu gets married in a few years, you can enjoy your family relationship and have your son around your knees!" Queen Changsun said.

Zheng Guanyin said with a bright smile.

Although Empress Changsun is smiling, she has a strong purpose. King Zhao Li Fu was adopted to Prince Yin in his early years. This little guy's mother came from the Hongnongguan prince's house and was a favored concubine in the harem. Unfortunately, she was not lucky.

, passed away early. After Zheng Guanyin left Yeting, Li Fu was also sent to Prince Xi's Mansion for upbringing.

The emperor deprived King Xi's lineage of the glory, but now his sons and daughters have been returned to her, and the treatment is no worse than that of other clans. Zheng Guanyin's intelligence has been able to understand this sincerity, and you don't need to say too much when talking to smart people.

Understood.

"Yes, what the Empress said is that my good days have come, and I am satisfied. From now on, in addition to looking after these juniors, I will pray for Your Majesty and the Empress in front of the Bodhisattva every day, and for the great Tang Dynasty."

Seeing that Zheng Guanyin was really smart, Empress Changsun also smiled and nodded. They all gave a banquet. The two sisters-in-law and Li Chengqian and his wife had lunch together. During the dinner, they talked about the embarrassing things of the children when they were young.

The atmosphere was extremely relaxed, and it seemed like a scene of harmony between heaven and family.

After seeing off Zheng Guanyin, the concubines and concubines walked side by side towards the Mingde Hall. The ceremonial guard behind them was far away, and they did not dare to get too close, for fear that being too close would disturb the purity of the masters; the afterglow of the setting sun shone in the

Both the guards and the palace maids and eunuchs could not help but sincerely praise the two of them as a good couple.

"Why did Your Highness help Wei Zheng take care of the troubles behind his back? He has failed Your Highness first. Aren't you always annoyed?" Dugu Miaoyin and the prince have been sleeping together for many years. She knows very well what Li Chengqian is thinking.

If Wei Zheng could tell the story about King Taiyuan early, the prince might be able to save the life of his brother who escaped into Buddhism. This was Wei Zheng's original sin. At the same time, he offended the emperor and the prince to the end, and completely ruined his career.

.

Moreover, Wei Zheng's actions in the court over the years have offended a group of people. Now that he has become an official, it is inevitable that some people want to take personal revenge or make slanderous accusations against him.

Today, the prince is urging this marriage and tying the Prince Xi's Mansion and the Wei family together, which has to make those people wary. After all, Prince Xi's Mansion is a taboo place that no minister dares to touch. Anyone who touches it will think

It was like exposing the emperor's scars. Anyone who wanted to take this official position would not do such a stupid thing, so she said that the prince was saving Wei Zheng.

"My beloved, you are wrong about this. Wei Zheng has offended many people, but these people are just clowns. There is no need to worry about them.

It was not Wei Zheng who saved me, but my father's reputation. The old guy offended my father too much, and I was afraid that he would not die a good death and that my father would be infamous for killing a hero!"

Yes, the emperor has no such idea now, but God's heart is unpredictable. Who knows when the father will think of the old guy's bad things. Having been father and son with him for so many years, even Li Chengqian can't figure out what's in his heart.

Not to mention Wei Zheng.

Therefore, the marriage with Prince Xi's Mansion can be regarded as a protection for Wei Zheng. It allowed the emperor to assign Wei Zheng to the old ministry in his heart and completely separate him from the Zhenguan Dynasty. In this way, even if he hated him again, he would still have his own name to block him.

With.

Moreover, the people in Prince Xi's Palace had a special status, and the emperor repeatedly expressed his desire for preferential treatment. Therefore, even if he was dissatisfied with Wei Zheng, he would be more generous because of the special status of Prince Xi's Palace, so that he would not be burdened with killing loyal ministers and killing donkeys.

crime.

The death of the third child had already made him a lot older. Li Chengqian didn't want something like this to happen again and irritate his sensitive nerves again, so after making an agreement in Xuanzheng Hall that day, he went to see Empress Changsun again and asked her to urge him.
