The marriage edict was not issued, but Li Shimin agreed to the marriage between Xie Yi and Zheng Liwan, and Wei Zheng was still the matchmaker.

Maybe Li Shimin felt embarrassed, maybe he felt it was unnecessary, or maybe he had some grudges in his heart, so he did not directly issue an edict to give the marriage.

However, His Majesty Li Er won the title for Zheng Liwan, believing that Zheng's daughter did not think she was a concubine, and it was not convenient to directly ignore Zheng Liwan's demands. Under Changsun Wuji's reminder, Li Shimin came up with a compromise way to settle his wife.

The flat wife mentioned by Changsun Wuji is different from the concept of flat wife in later Ming and Qing dynasties. It comes from Yuwen Yong, the third emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. This emperor established five queens for various reasons.

Except for the daughter of Emperor Wen of Tianyuan, Yang Lihua, the eldest queen of Tianyuan, Yang Jian, the other four queens are all "balanced wives".

Based on this, Xie Yi can marry a more noble wife in the future, with a status of Zheng Liwan. However, if there is no such wife, Zheng Liwan would be the head mistress of the Bo Mansion in Huaiyang County.

This is the best of both worlds and is satisfied with all parties.

The emperor was happy, and Wei Zheng, the matchmaker, deserved his name, and met Zheng Liwan's demands. Xie Yi was happy to see it happen, so as not to feel wronged Zheng Liwan.

The marriage was settled so much and everyone was happy.

Xie Yi personally went to the Taishi Bureau and found General Li Chunfeng to choose a good day, the zodiac auspicious day for the wife to marry on the sixth day of the fifth month.

According to Xie Yi's idea, he wanted to have a big fuss, but Zheng Liwan didn't want to be extravagant and could even try to be more low-key.

In her words, her experience is special. She is a "old girl". It would be great to marry a good husband. It is not good to be too flamboyant. It is easy to cause criticism. She doesn't want to cause trouble for Xie Yi.

Although Xie Yi didn't care, Zheng Liwan insisted repeatedly and he couldn't disobey it. So, try to keep a low profile in the marriage and be relatively low-key.

The guests who should be invited should not be missing. The matchmaker Wei Zheng was going to come to take charge of the marriage, and the family of several veteran generals such as Duke Lu's mansion needed to send invitations; the other is Princess Changle, who can be said to be Zheng Liwan's best friend, and naturally is among the invited guests.

After arriving about it, it was already early April. Before holding his wedding, Xie Yi also went to the East Palace to attend the full moon banquet of the emperor's grandson Li Xiang.

If the East Palace hosted a banquet, I would definitely not be among the invitations. Although the matter was clear, Li Chengqian still had a lot of prejudice against him. How could he invite himself to attend his son's full moon banquet?

But this time it was different. Li Shimin was the one who held the banquet.

In order to celebrate the birth of the emperor's grandson, His Majesty Li Er ordered the world to imprison prisoners and punish the first grade. Those who are both fifth ranks and above are fathers, and each of them will be awarded the honorary officials. The world will be given a feast for five days and will be at the Eastern Palace for a large banquet, and Xie Yi is also among them.

How can the emperor's edict be violated?

More importantly, no matter what Li Chengqian's true attitude is, he cannot express his disgust and disrespect for the prince.

Otherwise, once Li Shimin noticed it, it would be a death sentence. Will the emperor dare to reuse a person who is disrespectful to the future crown prince for a long time?

Even if he doesn't say anything now, when he closes his eyes and kicks his legs, he will probably pull himself in to walk together. Throughout history, there have been more emperors like this.

In order for the heir to take over the country and power safely, the old emperor often eliminates all those who are unfavorable to the heirs when he is dying.

Emperor Jing of Han forced Zhou Yafu to death, Zhu Yuanzhang almost killed all the founding heroes, and Emperor Wu of Han even became even more cruel. For the sake of Liu Fuling, he even killed his mother, Mrs. Gouyi.

If the historical trajectory changes, Li Chengqian has firmly settled in the East Palace. What would Li Shimin do before he dies or even wait for that time, it may be

So Xie Yi politely prepared a generous gift to go to the Eastern Palace. He congratulated the royal grandson on his full moon and congratulated His Highness the Crown Prince.

At the banquet at the Lizheng Hall of the East Palace, Li Chengqian was very excited and frequently raised glasses toast with the ministers and had a great chat. As a father for the first time, Li Chengqian was naturally happy and responded with a smile to the congratulations of many ministers.

But when it was Xie Yi's turn, although Li Chengqian still had a smile on his face, there was a hint of displeasure and even disgust in his eyes.

Xie Yi clearly noticed the unfriendlyness of His Royal Highness, but he kept it in his heart without hesitation, and still bowed politely to congratulate him. To outsiders, the prince was easy to be gentle, the ministers respectfully surrendered, and the "monarch and ministers" complement each other, which was very harmonious.

However, there are also people who are discerning in their eyes. For example, King Li Tai of Wei, as the uncle of the emperor's grandson Li Xiang, he must be there. Li Chengqian naturally smiled when he saw him, with his brothers and brothers respectful, but only they knew what suspicion and disgust were behind his back.

Li Tai is probably a guest who is not very welcome to the East Palace, and he is not the protagonist today. In addition, Li Shimin is celebrating the full moon for Li Xiang, which will give him a warning.

Given the recent situation of the East Palace, Li Tai intends to keep a low profile and avoid the edge for the time being. But this does not mean that he will be at peace from now on. It is a dormant to be for another rise. Li Tai is considering this now.

In addition to watching coldly and waiting for the opportunity, planning and preparation are also necessary. For Li Tai, all the forces that are not harmonious with the Eastern Palace can be united, or to be precise, the objects of use.

The same is true for Xie Yi. Although he had all kinds of dissatisfaction with Xie Yi before, he still disliked Xie Yi and even regarded him as an enemy.

But it does not prevent it from taking advantage of it. After all, Xie Yi has a serious conflict with the Eastern Palace now, and it is well known that regardless of whether Xie Yi is willing or not, he is a good pawn.

In some ways, everyone's interests are consistent; in politics, there is no eternal enemy, and this is absolutely true.

Therefore, King Li Tai of Wei decided to appropriately throw an olive branch to Xie Yi, and the banquet was inadvertent, so he made some hints.

Xie Yi saw it and knew it clearly. His Highness King Wei is really changing with the wind and changing.

When he saw himself approaching the Eastern Palace, he secretly stumbling. Regarding Kan Ling's affairs, Xie Yi would never believe that the Wei Prince's Mansion was innocent.

Now that the East Palace is not in harmony with me, I want to win over myself and use myself to become the vanguard of opposition and shake the East Palace.

The plan was very good, but His Highness of Wei overestimated his ability to plan and keep confidentiality, and thought he was doing it perfectly. Unexpectedly, Xie Yi had already learned about the tricks and actions behind him.

However, Xie Yi did not refuse Li Tai's hint. Sometimes pretending to be stupid is a necessary way of survival. In this matter, the Wei Prince's Mansion is also a very meaningful banner.

It is already difficult to distinguish between Li Chengqian. From Xie Yi's standpoint, I must hope that the Eastern Palace will be shaken. It is the same thing for who will fill the position in the future, but now the main force that shakes its foundation can only be the Wei Palace.

Therefore, since the King of Wei is interested, it is not impossible to hit it off.
