To be honest, Li Shimin has never been blind when it comes to choosing a wife for his son.
Whether it’s Li Chengqian’s Su Qingling and Lu Wanjie, or Li Tai’s Yan Wan.
Even Li Ke's eldest grandson Pingting was included.
These women are top-notch in terms of appearance, family status, talent, and education.
But if we really want to compare, Li Shimin obviously had selfish motives in choosing a mate for Li Chengqian.
You know, this woman Su Qingling is not as simple as she seems on the surface.
And Li Chengqian's father-in-law Su Dan is not just a secretary.
You know, the influence of the Su family in Wugong and even the entire Guanlong area is very amazing. .??.??
From the distant ancestor Su Ze, he was a famous official in Cao Wei, ranging from official to minister.
Then to Su Chuo of Su Xie, one was the governor of Wugong County in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the other was the Shangshu of Duzhi in the Western Wei Dynasty. He was awarded the title of Duke of Pi, and the title was the highest at that time.
Later, Su Wei became the prime minister of the Sui Dynasty.
Even though there was a brief decline later, Su Qingling's grandfather Su Kui was also a former official of the Sui Dynasty.
The so-called generation of capable people is referring to the Su family, isn't it?
Although on the surface, the Su family may not be as famous as the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes.
But in actual terms, their influence is unprecedentedly huge.
After all, the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes only rely on their in-law relationships and their influence among the neighbors to become increasingly powerful.
But the Su family is a real official family.
If nothing else, let's just talk about Su Dan himself. Of course, he only held the official position of secretary-general.
Not counting the relationships left to him by his ancestors and fathers, the disciples he taught or funded are now spreading throughout key institutions in the court.
These alone are enough for no one to underestimate this family.
And as the eldest daughter of such a family, how could Su Qingling be so bad?
However, she saw that Li Chengqian was unwilling to compete with others, so she kept a low profile.
But if someone really dares to set his sights on her, it will be up to her to see if she can beat him or not.
Of course.
Li Chengqian didn't intend to let his wife get angry with the other party. > After all, it’s not something worth doing.
And looking at Li Chengqian's look of trying to calm things down, Su Qingling couldn't help but feel a little angry.
She said: "At the beginning, I really couldn't understand it."
"After all, you are also the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, and you have also made great achievements for the Tang Dynasty."
"Now, whether in the military or in the court, your influence far exceeds his."
"But why does he dare to bully you?"
Su Qingling snorted angrily: "Now I can see it, it's because of your soft heart and your cowardice..."
cowardly?
Softhearted?
Li Chengqian couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Is this really the case for you?
But sometimes I think about it, his actions are indeed like that.
Li Tai conspired to kill him not once or twice, not even three or five times.
But in the end, he always maintained an attitude of calming things down and not arguing with Li Tai.
But is this really cowardice and soft-hearted?
In fact, only Li Chengqian himself knew that this was not the case...
Does he not want to touch Li Tai?
Of course it’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I can’t.
As early as when Qing Ci's accident happened, he really thought about driving Li Tai into a state of eternal destruction.
But he can't.
Because no matter how much trouble they get, they are still brothers from the same mother.
The royal family has already experienced a scene of fratricide under the leadership of Li Shimin.
If it happens again now, I will really lose my face.
By then, the imperial court may not have lost all its influence among the people, but the hearts of scholars will definitely have lost most of it.
In that case, who else in the world would be willing to serve the imperial court?
After all, the present is not the hereafter, no
Everyone has gone to college and read books, so we can easily find a lot of talents to fill the vacancies.
So, he can't let this happen.
Secondly, there is also the reason for Li Shimin.
Through the details of Li Shimin's connivance towards Li Tai, it is not difficult to see that even though Li Tai has gone too far, Li Shimin still loves Li Tai extremely much.
In this case, if Li Tai is killed, what benefits will Li Chengqian himself gain?
Is it Li Shimin’s suspicion? Is it Li Shimin’s hatred? ???
If that were the case, wouldn't Li Chengqian still have to follow the same path of his previous life?
Therefore, Li Tai can be beaten and scolded, but he cannot kill.
This is also the right granted to him by Li Shimin in private, and it is also Li Shimin's bottom line.
At this moment, Li Chengqian just sighed.
Then, he looked at Su Qingling and said, "Qingling."
"How can your husband have any achievements? Everything was given by my father."
"So, you are just saying these things now, and you must not mention them again in the future."
After saying this, he didn't care what Su Qingling's expression was and kept silent.
Su Qingling was so angry that she stamped her feet, but there was nothing she could do.
Only Lu Wanjie on the side sighed softly and looked deeply at Li Chengqian's back...
…
Manna Hall.
The palace was Li Shimin's territory, and Li Shimin's spies were spread everywhere.
Soon, what happened at the Princess Palace reached Li Shimin's ears.
After listening to Eunuch Zhou's report, Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh.
He said: "It seems that there is going to be a fight between the two daughters-in-law of mine..."
"The Crown Prince and King Wei didn't say anything today."
"But everyone can see that the Crown Princess and Princess Wei are already eager to give it a try."
"If this were not the case, there would be no tit-for-tat confrontation in the Princess Palace."
"And the Crown Princess and Princess Wei His identity is truly extraordinary."
Eunuch Zhou looked directly at Li Shimin and said, "I think that if Your Majesty is free, you should intervene as soon as possible."
"Whether it's the Crown Princess or Princess Wei."
"After all, they are also women, how can I interfere?"
Li Shimin put down the memorial in his hand, shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "And judging from what they mean, even if I intervene, I might have to fight in secret."
Hearing this, Eunuch Zhou couldn't help but be stunned.
Your Majesty, what does this mean?
Don't want to take care of it?
Eunuch Zhou asked directly: "Does your Majesty want to let them go?"
"if not?"
Li Shimin said: "Are you asking me, a grown man, to go and meddle in women's business?"
Besides, they are their daughters-in-law.
No matter what, Li Shimin also wanted to avoid suspicion.
"It's the old slave who talks too much..."
Having said that.
But Eunuch Zhou looked worried.
Seeing his appearance, Li Shimin smiled.
"You old guy, just say what you have to say."
"Why do you have to make such an expression?"
Li Shimin and Eunuch Zhou have been together for many years. Who doesn't know who?
Eunuch Zhou couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "These are actually His Majesty's housework, and I shouldn't have interfered."
"But looking at the state of His Majesty's two daughters-in-law today, if you don't intervene, there might really be trouble."
"In that case, it would really be more of a loss than a gain..."
Li Shimin also knew that Eunuch Zhou was thinking about himself.
Therefore, he also laughed immediately.
"Do not worry."
"I know this well."
"I'll go back and discuss it with the queen."
Li Shimin smiled and said: "After all, she is a woman. Let her handle this kind of thing. She is far better than me..."
