The ministers were shocked. They all knew it was an act, but some people took it seriously. The key to taking it seriously was the Holy One, but the nature was different. Everyone couldn't figure out what Li Er was thinking and didn't dare to say anything nonsense.
Li Er also had difficulties. He did not seek political advice if he was not in his position. As the emperor, Li Er naturally considered matters from a different perspective than the courtiers. He knew that no one who could enter the court was a fool, and he could see through the drama between the emperor and his ministers. If it was true,
If you don't reward me, what will the generals in the world think? Who will be willing to serve the imperial court in the future?
The biggest thing is to destroy the country and save it. It doesn't cost the court much. It took only 10,000 people to capture Tubo. Such achievements are timeless and shine like the bright moon. They are fully qualified to be crowned a county king. If they were crowned, all the people in the Tang Dynasty would be crowned.
Thousands of soldiers returned to their hearts, and the people of the world returned to their hearts, but it left a hidden danger to the court.
It should be sealed, but it cannot be sealed.
Li Er felt guilty and worried. The reward of money was not enough, the strength was not enough, and the sincerity was not enough. He could be promoted to an official position, but it was still not enough. But it was different now. Qin Huaidao took the initiative to make a request. As long as he agreed, he could stop Youyou's mouth.
, and even left a good story.
As for the princess, the only one of royal age is Yuzhang, who has already been given a marriage. The remaining ones are Sizi and Princess Jinyang, who are a few years old. It’s not that they are reluctant to part with them, but they are too young and inappropriate. Even Yuzhang is young, so they have to wait.
It will take a few years to get married, and I can't afford to wait. If the position of the mistress of the Protector's Palace is vacant for a long time, something may happen easily.
A man is full of blood, and who doesn't have some tricks up his sleeves? If there is a scandal, someone will get in first and it won't end. You have to pick someone of the right age to marry him as soon as possible. Firstly, he can help take care of the house and take care of Qin Huaidao's worries. Secondly, he can settle down as soon as possible.
The title of royal son-in-law and the relationship between father-in-law and son-in-law avoid many hidden dangers that cannot be said.
Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Li Er suddenly thought of Li Xueyan. Had it not been for Qin Huaidao's obstruction, she would have married Songtsen Gampo, which was considered a fate. Li Er had thought of adopting Li Xueyan as his successor and making her a princess.
, this idea arises again.
The main hall was eerily quiet, everyone was waiting for Li Er to speak.
However, Li Er had many thoughts and did not intend to speak out immediately. He waved his hands and said: "The imperial court has always had rewards for merit and punishment for demerits. Mr. Qin's contribution is indispensable. How can he not reward you? Dear friends, I will go back first, so I can think about it."
"
The ministers were confused and left at a loss.
The more Li Er thought about it, the more he felt it was feasible. Although this move was absurd and contrary to etiquette, it proved from a certain perspective that the royal family valued Qin Huaidao and favored Qin Huaidao. It became a good story and no one objected to withdrawing the reward. The prince
The title is too important and cannot be used in this case.
Using one woman to solve all problems, and also to win over Qin Huaidao, a rare talent like Qin Huaidao, to be used by the royal family, why not?
Gradually he made a decision in his heart, and asked people to find Li Daozong. After signaling the others to leave, he said bluntly: "Daozong, Qin Huaidao declined to be crowned king and requested to reward a princess instead. Xueyan has reached the age of marriage and has no engagement. I want to take over the family.
What do you think about being named a princess and marrying Yu Zhang to Qin Huaidao?"
Li Daozong's face changed drastically. He was about to object on the spot. The Holy One is great. He can take whatever he wants without taking himself seriously. But inexplicably, his daughter copied Qin Huaidao's poems and songs more than once in her boudoir. Her eyes were gentle.
, fiery, clearly moved the children's emotions.
The next moment, Li Daozong hesitated.
It is indeed humiliating for two women to serve one husband together. My daughter is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has rare talent and beauty. It's not like she can't get married and can't find a good family. Why?
"Hey, that's not right——"
Li Daozong suddenly discovered that there was really no one among the younger generation in Chang'an who could compare with Qin Huaidao. In terms of talent and learning, a poem shocked everyone in the Imperial Academy. In terms of merit, he destroyed a country. In terms of wealth, well, he didn't know how to protect the country.
No matter how rich the government is, it is definitely indispensable, not to mention that Gao Shilian and his family gave more than 300,000 yuan to Qin Huaidao.
With money, ability, and status, it’s really hard to refuse such a person. The key point is that the daughter’s expression clearly shows that she likes him. If he refuses, his daughter will not be allowed to pluck out his beard when he returns home?
Forget it, forget it, the Holy Mountain is not embarrassing, what are you afraid of?
After thinking clearly about all this, Li Daozong stopped worrying and asked: "How does the Holy Mountain plan to arrange it?"
Li Er understood the idea and said with a smile: "We are all my daughters, how can we favor one over the other? Yuzhang confirmed the engagement first, so naturally she is the first wife, and Xueyan is the equal wife. What do you think?"
A common wife is also called a partial wife. She has a slightly lower status than a regular wife, but is much higher than a concubine. She is also a legal wife.
What else can Li Daozong say? If you don't agree, you are bullying the emperor. The precious daughter at home will not agree after returning. If you agree, the relationship with the Holy Emperor can be further improved, and you will not be suppressed, wary, and suspicious again. There are many advantages, but the disadvantage is that you can't be a real wife.
Ping's wife suffered a little loss, but it was not unacceptable.
Thoughts flashed through his mind, Li Daozong hurriedly said: "Holy Mountain, can you allow me to go back and discuss my daughter's care? You also know that I have always doted on my daughter and cannot bear to blame her."
But Li Er knew that it was done. Li Daozong just wanted to save face and give him some time to buffer, so as not to be thought that he didn't want what he wanted. He said with a smile: "The strong wind knows the strong grass, and the flat rock knows the loyal ministers. Daozong deserves to be my royal family and knows the general body.
I feel very relieved to know that my worries are shared with you, go ahead and ask Xueyan, if you don’t want to, don’t force it, there is more than one Xueyan in the royal family.”
Praise first, then threaten, and master your subordinates' methods.
Of course, Li Daozong could hear the threat, but it was also true. Only one of Li's two children, Yuzhang, was eligible for marriage, but there was more than one Li Xueyan in the royal family. When the others heard that marrying Qin Huaidao was absolutely desirable, they immediately said gratefully: "Thank you Shengshan for your success.
Then go home and reply as soon as possible."
Watching Li Daozong leave, Li Er smiled with satisfaction. A niece could solve all the problems and win over Qin Huaidao. It was a good deal no matter how he looked at it. He couldn't help but shout: "Come here, pass on Yu Zhang."
The Protectorate is not far from the palace, but it takes some time to get there.
After a while, Yu Zhang hurriedly entered the palace, saluted and said: "My son, I have seen my father often."
"Yuzhang, my father needs to discuss something with you." Li Er smiled kindly.
"Just ask Father for your orders." Yu Zhang said quickly.
Li Er nodded with satisfaction: "Yu Zhang is still knowledgeable and sensible, and he knows how to take care of his father's worries. The thing is like this. Huaidao captured Tubo and made unparalleled achievements. My father was granted the title of king, but he refused and asked his father instead.
My father would like to ask you what you think about marrying another princess."
"This...how could he do this?" Yuzhang became anxious upon hearing this, his face full of grievances.
Li Er said nothing and looked at Yu Zhang.
Yuzhang felt an inexplicable pressure, and realized that it was not a discussion, but a notice. He felt more and more aggrieved and a little miserable. If the Holy Queen was here, he would not be bullied like this. He inexplicably remembered what the Holy Queen said.
There is a saying that the Holy Father has a country in his heart first, and then children.
As a child, marriage matters are all decided by the parents. Yuzhang knew that he had no choice. Fortunately, he did not regret the marriage and give another princess, but one more. There was no other way except to accept it. Yi Xing shed tears.
Suppressing the grievance in his heart, he asked: "Father, do you know who I have chosen?"
"Li Xueyan."
Hearing this name, Yu Zhang felt better. At least they were familiar good friends. There would be no big problems in getting along with each other in the future, and they would not be in a hurry. He nodded and said, "My son, I have no objection. It's all up to my father to make the decision?"
Tears welled up in streams. Which woman is really willing to share her husband with someone else?
"I've wronged you." Li Er said with some distress.
"Don't be wronged. I will get along well with Sister Xueyan and serve Brother Qin well, so that Brother Qin can spend more time and energy to share the worries of my father." Yuzhang said against his will. Now that the matter has come to this, he can only accept it.
Li Er is not hard-hearted. As long as the imperial power of the country is not involved, Li Er still cares about the feelings of his family in other matters. He said with some emotion: "Don't worry, my father will not wrong you. You are still the head wife. Xue Yan is the most equal wife."
"I know, thank you father." Yuzhang said sadly, thinking that Qin Huaidao cared for He'er and had a family, and there was no superiority or inferiority, and he felt painful in his heart. What is the right wife or not? It's just a title. The key is to share it with one more person.
Follow your own feelings.
"No, I have to think about Brother Qin and do something to make Brother Qin inseparable from me, just like He'er." Yuzhang reminded himself secretly in his heart.
After leaving the Manlu Hall, Yuzhang returned to his room in a side courtyard of the harem, fell on the bed and burst into tears.
After hearing the news, Princess Jinyang hurried over to inquire and comfort her.
After finally calming down, Yuzhang suddenly became unhappy after asking about the situation: "Sister Huang, Sister Xueyan, you can't tolerate me, will I not accept it in the future? We have agreed."
"Wow -" Yuzhang became even more sad, there was another man waiting to divide him.
