Chapter 154 Talking about marriage(1/2)

A few days ago, there was a storm in Chang'an, but Wei Zheng was nowhere to be seen.

It was not that Wei Shizhong became a quiet and handsome man, but because he was not in Chang'an at all.

At the beginning of the year, Wei Zheng was ordered to inspect the prefectures of Xuanwei Hedong. He had just returned a few days ago. While he was resting at home, his servants came to report and tourists came to visit.

Who is the guest? This is the case with Bo Xie Yi, Huaiyang County!

Wei Zheng was a little surprised and a little abrupt, but when a guest came, he could not be turned away, so he politely asked his servant to invite Xie Yi into the mansion.

"Xie Yi has met Mr. Wei!"

"Sir Xie is polite, please sit down." Wei Zheng looked serious in the court on weekdays, but he was relatively easy in private, and even had a faint smile.

"It's like the Duke of Meng Wei, Yibo's name is Xiaoyao." Xie Yi smiled and always emphasized through words that this was a private visit, and it was a visit from the younger generation, which was quite respectful.

Wei Zheng understood in his heart and nodded, "Okay, then I'm not polite. What's the matter with Xiaoyao coming to visit me?"

I don't know the purpose of the trip, so I asked straight to the point.

Xie Yi smiled slightly, bowed and said sincerely: "Mr. Wei, I am here to ask you to be a matchmaker..."

...

Xie Yi left, and Wei Zheng was still sitting at the table thinking.

With just a little mention, Mr. Wei understood and suddenly realized it.

Wei Zheng had heard of Zheng Liwan's incident at Dali Temple and was traveling around for Xie Yi, and perhaps he had heard of rumors. However, Wei Zheng, who had always been upright, did not take it seriously, so he ignored it.

Xie Yi wants to marry Zheng Liwan, this matter...

Without talking about anything else, just talking about the essence of the matter. These two people are really considered to be a handsome man and a beautiful woman, and they can be regarded as a pair of perfect young men.

I don’t know how they met each other, but this time they saw true feelings with each other with hardships.

Wei Zheng was not surprised by the marriage, but what was unexpected was that Xie Yi came to ask himself to be a matchmaker.

After thinking a little, Wei Zheng understood Xie Yi's original intention and intention. Perhaps he was really a suitable matchmaker in this marriage.

Wei Zheng did not easily refuse Zheng Liwan's happiness.

After all, he said frankly back then that he had stopped the emperor from accepting a concubine, and he was originally a kind-hearted intention. However, because Lu Shuang died early, it was so difficult for Zheng Liwan to marry again, causing harm and regret.

Wei Zheng apologized for this, but there was no chance to compensate, but this time, the opportunity seemed to have come.

In his own heart, Wei Zheng was willing to promote this beautiful thing and let Zheng Liwan marry a wishful husband, which could be considered as making up for the "mistake" of the past.

Of course, he also knew the difficulty of this matter and what was difficult. Although it was difficult, it was impossible to do it.

So Wei Zheng did not refuse, but did not agree.

Although Xie Yi proposed marriage, whether Zheng Liwan really had this intention must be confirmed clearly. If you go to propose marriage rashly, it would be embarrassing if...

He didn't care, but it would undoubtedly embarrass the two young people, and Wei Zheng was quite considerate.

To be cautious, he asked his wife to go to Zheng's house first, visited Zheng Liwan, and asked about the woman's intention before making a decision.

...

Mrs. Wei went to Zheng's house and came back in less than half a day.

The news brought back made Wei Zheng a little surprised and a little embarrassed - Zheng Liwan was willing to marry, but she was unwilling to be her husband.

"Miss Zheng is really strange. She is very satisfied with Xue Shi Xie during her conversation. Her face is full of shyness from her little daughter's family. It can be seen that she is sincere. I will never misjudgment this. It's just..."

Mrs. Wei said inexplicably: "It's really strange to say that Mrs. Zheng actually said that because she had promised to marry the Lu family, Lu Shuang died early, so she was a poor family and was not suitable for being a real wife.

This is true, but Madam Zheng is unparalleled in talent and appearance. It doesn’t matter. Besides, this kind of thing should be an excuse for the husband’s family to be picky. Madam Zheng himself did not mention it.

"This..." Wei Zheng also sighed: "Miss Zheng is indeed different. It's okay if she doesn't care about it herself, but someone may care."

"Alang is talking about Your Majesty?" Mrs. Wei said worriedly: "So many years have passed since Madam Zheng's affairs. It is definitely impossible to enter the palace. Will Your Majesty still be upset?"

Wei Zheng said leisurely: "I don't think it's because His Majesty is worried. It's because the world thinks that he is so afraid of his head and tail, so..."

"Your Majesty will be happy? Alang, can you make this marriage match? Will you be able to anger Your Majesty again? Queen Wende is gone, Your Majesty seems to be not as good as before... You should be careful." Mrs. Wei seemed a little worried and whispered to her.

"Don't worry, I know what I know." Wei Zheng said: "Even if Your Majesty is unhappy, he will never do anything to me because of this? He will not do to anyone...

Otherwise, what should the people in the world think of him? Do you scold the court officials for a woman? During the Warring States Period, Pingyuan Jun killed his concubine for his disciples. There was a clear example where his Majesty would be tainted?”

Mrs. Wei said: "That's the case, I'm afraid that Your Majesty will not send it now, but afterwards..."

"No, Your Majesty is not that kind of person. Even if sometimes... it won't be a fight, let alone..."

Wei Zheng said: "Your Majesty has made a great reputation when he failed to accept Mrs. Zheng in the palace back then; today, it is another good story to fulfill Xie Yi and Zheng Liwan. With your Majesty's mind and mind, you should understand it."

"That's good. You've felt guilty about this over the years, which is a knot. It's okay if you can untie it this time." Mrs. Wei said: "I still remember the year when Zheng Renji left, it was not convenient for you to even go to the mourning hall..."

Speaking of this, Wei Zheng sighed and said leisurely: "Forget it, if you can achieve good things this time, I will personally bring wine to the grave to apologize and report to him."

"Okay, it's just that you pay attention to your method. Not only this matter... You have to pay attention to it in the court in the future. Don't anger Your Majesty at any time. Even if you don't do it for yourself, you have to consider your family and Shuyu." Mrs. Wei finally got the opportunity and did not forget to give me the advice.

Wei Zheng said helplessly: "Don't nag anymore, I understand."

"If you think I'm nagging, you will remember it in your heart." Mrs. Wei said leisurely: "When this other person is a matchmaker and talks about marriage, he will think of his own children.

Our Shuyu is not young anymore, and it will be time to get married in two years. You should worry about helping you find a child as a father!"

"Okay, Shuyu is still young, why are you anxious..."

"Can't you be in a hurry?" Mrs. Wei complained: "Look at what family does not have a princess in the daughter-in-law of the prime minister at that time? Erlang of the Fang family and Erlang of the Du family are still young, but they decided to marry the princess early.

If you hadn't contradicted Your Majesty all day long and made Long Yan furious, maybe our Shuyu could be the son-in-law..."

Wei Zheng said helplessly: "Now he is a matchmaker for others. It is Xie Yi and the Zheng girl who talked about marriage. Where did you go? It's really..."

...

Perhaps in order to escape from his wife's nagging, Wei Zheng hurriedly left home.

The destination was Changsun Wuji's mansion, and the marriage between Xie Yi and Zheng Liwan was still the one who had been with him.

Wei Zheng carefully considered that there was no problem with being a mediator himself, but the safest way was to give the emperor a marriage. This would be beneficial to him and would be even more beneficial to Xie Yi and Zheng Liwan.

But you cannot submit a memorial directly or report it to the emperor in person. No matter what, you cannot go out of the blue. You have to tell the emperor in a more tactful way.

Speaking of tactfulness, is there a more suitable candidate than Changsun Wuji?

As the uncle of the country, Changsun Wuji was particularly unique in the court and in the emperor's heart, not to mention that he had a good daughter-in-law, Princess Changle, at home.

The incident of the hereditary governor of the noble and meritorious officials was in trouble, and no matter how Changsun Wuji persuaded him, it was useless. As a result, Princess Changle entered the palace and persuaded him with gentle words. The problem was solved.

Of course, there is a "double act" component, and Wei Zheng is well aware of this, but the many advantages of Changsun Mansion are indisputable facts.

I don't envy you, but I have to use it when necessary.

After hearing about Wei Zheng's purpose, Changsun Wuji hesitated slightly, but finally nodded and agreed.

He may not be willing to take care of Xie Yi and Zheng Liwan's affairs, but now it is Wei Zheng who speaks, so naturally he cannot refuse it. The civil and military officials of the court are all over the court. It is too difficult to ow Wei Zheng a favor!

How could Changsun Wuji miss this opportunity? Not to mention having a good relationship, at least he should not offend this first counselor of the dynasty. This is for the Changsun family, and even more for the nephew of the Changsun family.

What's more, I just conveyed it, the matchmaker was Wei Zheng, and the decision was made by His Majesty Li Er, the wise and powerful.

Whether things are accomplished or not has nothing to do with you, and human feelings can still be settled, so why not do it?

So Changsun Wuji did not refuse. The next day he took the time to enter the Chengqing Hall of Tai Chi Palace.

It has always been easy for Changsun Guojiu to enter the palace, and it is easier and more common to get along with His Majesty Li Er in private, and it is also convenient to talk about such "private trivial matters".

"Your Majesty, Wei Zheng came to my house yesterday and mentioned something."

Li Shimin immediately said, "What's the matter? Tell me, don't be in trouble with me."

"Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from your Majesty." Changsun Wuji smiled suddenly.

"What? Are you still young and can't you hide it from me?" His Majesty Li Er immediately asked a "heart-killing" and asked.

Changsun Wuji said in a hurry: "I dare not."

Li Shimin smiled and said, "I know you don't dare. Don't forget that we have known each other since we were young. I don't know what you think? Tell me, what is Wei Zheng asking you for? He actually asked you for something. It's really new. I'm really interested in listening."

Changsun Wuji said leisurely: "Wei Zheng has recently agreed to be a matchmaker for others..."

"Be a mediator? Who is the mediator for? What is the relationship with you and me?" Li Shimin frowned slightly, and couldn't help but wonder.

"That's right, Xie Yi went to visit Wei Zheng, asked him to be a matchmaker, and went to Zheng's house to propose marriage..."

Although Changsun Wuji's words were not very clear and some words even meant unknown, Li Shimin immediately understood.

Xie Yi wants to marry Zheng Liwan and invite Wei Zheng to be a matchmaker!

In an instant, Li Shimin was slightly surprised, and then he understood and then explained his doubts. This matter did not have nothing to do with him.

"What? What do Xie Yi and Wei Zheng mean?" Li Shimin asked in a deep voice, although there was no smile on his face, there was no anger.

Changsun Wuji whispered: "I don't know what Xie Yi means, but he must be serious about how he can invite Wei Zheng as a matchmaker... As for Wei Zheng..."

"How is Wei Zheng? Since he agreed, why don't he be a matchmaker? What should he do when he goes to you?" Li Shimin seemed to ask a little consciously, but he seemed to be confused.

"This..." Changsun Wuji said: "Wei Zheng didn't say it clearly, but the words he heard were probably trying to ask His Majesty to give him a marriage."

"Give marriage? Hum!" Li Shimin smiled coldly and then said, "Auxiliary, what do you think about this?"
