Li Yuanji stared at Li Yuan in astonishment and said, "Father has an illegitimate daughter?"
Among the current age-appropriate princesses in the palace, there is only one Princess Wanchun.
If Li Yuan didn't regret his marriage, how could he have a royal daughter promised to Xie Shufang?
It can’t be Yongjia, right?
Yongjia is only four years old!
Li Yuan was so angry that Li Yuanji gasped, "I need to have an illegitimate daughter?!"
He is the number one person in the world, and the queen who helped him manage the harem has passed away, so he doesn't need to hide his illegitimate daughter at all.
"Then what did father promise to Xie Shufang?"
Li Yuanji stared at Li Yuan and asked.
You can't recognize a goddaughter, right?
Isn’t that the way to get married?
It's okay to deceive the people in the grassland, but there is no way to deceive the people in Chang'an City.
If Li Yuan dared to promise a daughter-in-law to a prince by way of marriage, then the prince would definitely dare to hang himself.
Because he absolutely cannot bear this humiliation.
"Isn't Yongjia your sister?"
Li Yuan stared at Li Yuanji and asked.
Li Yuanji was shocked, is it really Yongjia?!
Yongjia is only four years old!
Li Yuan, what do you think?
Even if Xie Shufang is asked to wait for ten years, until Yongjia is fourteen years old.
It is impossible for Li Yuanji to watch the disaster of Xie Shufang marrying Yongjia.
Yongjia is one of the most troublesome among Li Yuan's daughters.
The husband of my cheating niece is a romantic and has bad conduct.
After she came of age, she was given another princess title, named Fangling.
She is the famous Princess Fangling.
"Father, Yongjia is only four years old!"
Li Yuanji spoke without hesitation.
Li Yuan glared at Li Yuanji and said disapprovingly: "What's wrong with the age of four? Uncle Xie has more concubines. He can afford to wait for Yongjia for a few years."
Then Xie Shufang is forty-four and she is twenty-four. Then won’t she be played by history and be happy?!
Li Yuanji was not used to Li Yuan and said decisively: "Does father want to humiliate Uncle Xie?"
Li Yuan was annoyed and angrily said: "Princess Shang is a great gift from heaven, how can it be an insult?!"
Li Yuanji said categorically: "In the eyes of my sons, this is humiliation! If my father is serious, he can find a wife for Uncle Xie among the girls of the right age from the civil and military families of the Manchu Dynasty.
If my father betrothed Yongjia to Xie Shufang, my son would not agree."
Li Yuanji's attitude was too tough, which made Li Yuan even more annoyed, "I need your promise? Why are you talking to me? Do you still think of me as your father?!"
Li Shentong saw that Li Yuanji and Li Yuan were being aggressive and forced Li Yuan to get angry. He immediately came out to smooth things over, "Brother, please calm down, Yuan Ji, please admit your mistake to brother quickly!"
Li Yuanji reluctantly bowed and said: "Father, don't be upset, I know I was wrong."
Li Yuan glared at Li Yuanji fiercely, but Li Yuanji changed the topic and said: "But I still don't agree to allocate Yongjia to Xie Shufang."
Li Yuan's anger rose up all of a sudden, and it rushed to Tianling Gai in an instant.
"If my father insists on marrying Uncle Xie, then he should betroth the Huaide from Uncle Wang's family to Uncle Xie."
Li Yuanji poured a basin of cold water on Li Yuan before he could vent his anger.
Li Yuan must have been determined to find a political marriage for Xie Shufang.
Otherwise, Yongjia, who is only four years old, would not be brought out to speak out.
Li Yuanji could prevent Li Yuan from marrying his four-year-old daughter, but he could not stop Li Yuan from marrying other royal women.
Because in the process of marriage between the royal family and ministers, he was one of the beneficiaries.
He can harm his own interests, but he cannot harm the collective interests of the Li family.
Otherwise, how could he discuss cooperation with Li Shentong and others?
The reason why Li Yuan invited Li Shen passed here was because this matter related to the collective interests of the Li family.
So Li Yuanji could only grit his teeth and let Xie Shufang marry the head of Huaide County.
Although Lord Huaide is also young, he will be of marriageable age in two years and is not as young as Yongjia.
Moreover, in history, Huaide was highly praised, and her appearance was also highly evaluated. It can be seen that Huaide must be a great beauty when she grows up.
Let Xie Shufang suffer for two years and marry a beautiful woman with deep foundation, Xie Shufang will definitely not lose.
He can be considered worthy of Xie Shufang.
Moreover, letting Xie Shufang marry Huaide is also a good thing for Huaide.
After all, in the early Tang Dynasty, in order to complete the strategic task of making friends with distant people and attacking those with close friends, many clan girls were married off to get married.
Xie Shufang married Huaide, and Huaide was able to avoid getting married.
"Waide?!"
Li Shentong was stunned for a moment.
I'm just here to supervise whether you will protect the interests of my Li family. Why did you put the fire on me?!
Li Yuan was also a little confused.
He didn't understand why Li Yuanji didn't use his sister to win over the powerful people under him, but instead used his cousin to win over the powerful people under him.
But Huaide is indeed more suitable than Yongjia.
Li Yuan thought that Li Yuanji's talk about Huaide was a sign of surrendering to him, so he suppressed his anger and said with a nose that is not a nose and eyes that are not eyes: "Have you been eyeing Huaide for a long time?!"
Li Yuanji opened his mouth, but was speechless.
Old Li Tou, if you can't speak, then stop talking.
Wilder, that's my sister.
Is there something wrong with me staring at her?!
Seeing that Li Yuanji didn't speak, Li Yuan snorted at Li Yuanji twice, expressed his dissatisfaction, and looked at Li Shentun: "Huaide is a good girl. I originally wanted to wait until she was getting married.
, give her a good husband.
But now I’m being targeted by something useless, what do you think?”
Li Yuan's words were very beautiful.
Li Shentong said with a wry smile, almost without hesitation: "If it is an outsider who is targeting Huaide, then we can still defend him, but if it is an insider who is targeting Huaide, we may not be able to protect him.
Everything is decided by my brother."
Even if Li Shentong said this, he agreed, but he couldn't make a decision.
The reason why Li Shentong agreed so quickly was because Li Yuan said he was a good husband.
Li Shentong was almost certain that as long as the Turks sent people to ask for the princess of Tang Dynasty and promised not to invade the Tang Dynasty in the future, his daughter would definitely become the princess of Tang Dynasty that the Turks wanted.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Although the Turks were instigated by the remnants of the former Sui Dynasty, they frequently opposed the Tang Dynasty.
But the Tang Dynasty could not help the Turks for a while.
Therefore, if the Turks asked to marry the Tang princess, the Tang Dynasty would still agree to it for the sake of short-term peace.
Although the Turks were against the Tang Dynasty years ago, in recent days, in order to exchange for the envoys who were under house arrest by the Tang Dynasty, they have begun to send people to contact the Tang Dynasty.
Jieli promised to use fish maw as a gift to ask for peace with the Tang Dynasty.
The envoy is already on his way.
If Xie Li took advantage of the opportunity to ask for the princess of the Tang Dynasty after making peace, the success rate would be extremely high.
At present, the most suitable person in the clan for marriage is his daughter.
So when Li Yuanji proposed to marry Huaidexia to Xie Shufang, he agreed without hesitation.
"snort!"
Li Yuan snorted heavily, glared at Li Yuanji and said, "Then it's settled!"
Li Yuanji bowed and said: "I obey the order!"
Li Yuan pointed to the door of the palace and didn't even bother to say 'get out'.
Li Yuanji withdrew from Ganlu Hall very wisely.
As soon as Li Yuanji left, Li Yuan couldn't stand it anymore and complained angrily to Li Shentong, "That traitor actually dares to disobey me!"
Li Shentong said dumbfounded: "Then we will issue an order to punish the crime of disobedience?"
Li Yuan was stunned for a moment and glared at Li Shentong, "What are you talking about? I only said he was disobedient to me when I was angry. He didn't really disobey me, he was just a little domineering. How can he be punished as a crime of disobedience?"
?”
Disobedience is a serious crime, and if convicted, you will be beheaded.
Once the prince, Longsun, is found guilty of this crime, he will also be severely punished.
Li Yuan was a maniac who doted on his son. Even if his son rebelled against him, he couldn't kill him. How could he kill him if his son contradicted him?
So there was no need for anyone to find steps for him. He found a step for himself and came down.
"Hehehe... Since my brother is reluctant to deal with him, why should he be angry? Folks often say that sons are sent by God to collect debts.
Brother, just think that he was collecting debts just now, so there is no need to be angry for him."
Li Shentong said with a smile.
Li Yuan glared at Li Shentong fiercely, "Are you kidding me?"
Li Shentong smiled bitterly and said: "It's too late for me to be happy for my brother's arrival. How can I watch my brother's jokes?"
Li Yuan stared and looked at Li Shentong in confusion.
Li Shentong smiled and asked: "Brother, have you forgotten what Yang Yong and Yang Guang looked like in front of Emperor Wen during the Sui Dynasty?"
Li Yuan was stunned for a moment.
In the former Sui Dynasty, Yang Yong and Yang Guang behaved well in front of Yang Jian.
When Yang Jian shows off his power, they may be dissatisfied in their hearts, but they are submissive on the surface.
Li Shentong said again: "Yang Yong and Yang Guang regard Emperor Wen as their emperor, but Silang regards you as their father. After Emperor Wen became emperor, he never enjoyed the happiness of family relationship again.
Although the elder brother became the emperor, he still enjoyed the happiness of his family.
Of course I have to be happy for my brother.
After all, in all dynasties, the only one who can enjoy family happiness after sitting on the throne is my elder brother."
Li Shentong's words immediately scratched Li Yuan's itch.
Li Yuan also felt that among all the emperors, he was the only one who could see the true nature of his sons and the only one who enjoyed the true happiness of family.
So all the negative emotions in my heart dissipated completely at this moment, and I felt as comfortable as eating ginseng fruit.
Li Yuan felt comfortable in his heart, but said dissatisfiedly: "Even so, the three of them are still worried. Although Dalang and Erlang are successful, they made a big fuss because of their little thoughts. Not only did Silang
It’s useless, but it still makes me angry.”
Li Shentong couldn't judge the little thoughts of Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, and he couldn't say that Li Yuanji was useless without conscience, so he could only sigh: "If they don't make trouble and don't make you angry, they will just choose the nice things to say to you.
If I behave well in front of you, then you will really feel uncomfortable."
Li Yuan opened his mouth, wanting to refute Li Shentong's words, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that what Li Shentong said made sense.
If his three sons behave well in front of him, and if he chooses to put it nicely, they will treat him as an emperor instead of a father. In that case, he will really become a loner, and he will really feel very sad.
Uncomfortable.
He happily delegates power to his sons, tolerates his sons' arrogance in front of him, and responds to almost all their requests. Isn't it because he hopes to get along with his sons like a family?
