Cui Xin rubbed his eyebrows in pain, but he could only stand here and listen to his wife's nagging... Walking further in, not far away was the residence of his mother-in-law.
Mrs. Zhang seemed not to have heard her husband repeat it for the third time, and she counted on her fingers, "Her ancestral home is in Longxi. In the fourth year of Wude, she came to Beijing to visit relatives. She became famous all over the world, but no one knew the name of her biological father. Moreover, he was so trusted by your majesty.
Princess Pingyang treated her well..."
"That was Huairen who saved Princess Pingyang's life!" Cui Xin couldn't help but interrupt.
"Huairen also said later that those secret medicines are so dangerous that if you don't do it right, Princess Pingyang will die. If you are not a blood relative, even the world's famous doctors would not dare to try it." Zhang retorted, and then began to dictate the script,
"It must have been that time when I saved Princess Pingyang's life that Huairen met Your Majesty and told me about his life experience. Otherwise, how could Your Majesty be so trusting and doting on you..."
Seeing his wife in high spirits and eloquent, Cui Xin felt a splitting headache.
"By the way, Yanmen was victorious, and I wanted to capture Gushe alive, but he was directly included in the clan from a county prince, and was canonized as a county king, bypassing the county princes and the country's princes. Isn't the military exploits in that one time not enough?"
Cui Xin was too lazy to tell. His Majesty was obviously using Huairen to take the blame that time... He didn't know it at the time, but he knew about it later. Originally, Tuli Khan asked for a sworn knot with the King of Qin.
Zhang's thoughts were flying further and further, and her eyes were shining, "By the way, before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the only adult princes were the prince, King of Qin, and King of Qi. There were not many heirs. But after the founding of the People's Republic of China, babies were heard crying in the palace every year.
...At Huairen's age, it's just right to put it in there!"
Cui Xin couldn't help laughing when he heard this. If it weren't for Li Dewu, then this logic... would be quite consistent.
At this point, Mrs. Zhang suddenly stopped talking, and Cui Xin snorted, "Aren't you going to continue talking?"
Mrs. Zhang came closer and said cautiously: "Huairen really wants to seize the legitimate son?"
Cui Xin let out a long sigh, "If Madam Zhu hears this, the marriage between the two families can only be cancelled."
"What?"
"You insist on giving Madam Zhu this title, do you still expect her to treat her daughter well?" Cui Xin said angrily: "It has been found out that it was Princess Pingyang and his wife who found out, and they should be the Turks who were defeated two months ago.
Dub Khan’s plan to divorce.”
"A plan to divorce?" Ms. Zhang was greatly disappointed and immediately asked: "It's really not..."
"No!" Cui Xin gritted his teeth, "If he is a prince, how dare I promise my daughter to him?!"
If he is really a prince, he is likely to be involved in a fight for the right to inherit the throne. Cui Xin would not dare to get married at will. Historically, he did so. It was not until Li Shimin came to the throne after the Xuanwu Gate Incident that he and his former emperor
Cheng Yaojin, the general of Cefu, arranged a marriage and the marriage was consummated the next year.
If it hadn't been for the "Ai Lian Shuo" article, and Li Shan was really dazzling, and the little cabbage at home had already fallen in love with it, Cui Xin might not have nodded.
The Zhang family was a little disappointed, not because her son-in-law was not a prince. In the minds of the five surnames and seven families, the status of a prince was not much valuable... A hundred years later, the legitimate daughter of the Zheng family in Xingyang would rather marry the Cui family from Boling.
Even the ninth-grade official refused to be the crown princess.
But such a big melon... fell to the ground and fell into pieces before she could eat it. It was such a pity. Mrs. Zhang still had some unfinished thoughts, and she always felt that this rumor was not groundless.
Cui Xin warned in a more serious tone: "Be careful these days and never let Madam Zhu know about it... You must always think about your daughter."
Mrs. Zhang blinked and responded, thinking that her mother-in-law had a cheerful temperament, so she should be able to ask something by making some insinuations, right?
It seems that Concubine Wan Gui, who is now in charge of the harem, is also an official. This Lady Zhu obviously has an unusual background, maybe...
On the next day, when the edict to Li Shan, Prince of Handan County, was released, the related rumors not only showed no signs of dissipating, but became even more intense.
There are similar rumors everywhere...
"No wonder the King of Handan is so trusted by His Majesty!"
"No wonder His Majesty previously promised King Handan to control the Beiya imperial army and take charge of the imperial palace!"
"No wonder Yanmen was canonized as a county king after a great victory..."
"No wonder during the battle at Tianmen Mountain, the King of Handan galloped on his horse and rushed to help!"
Many people are muttering in their hearts, is it possible that it is true? There is no smoke without fire!
If it is true, then Prince Qin and King Qin really need to be more careful. When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman will benefit!
After all, all the troops in Guannai Road are now in the hands of the King of Handan.
Even in the early days of the dynasty, some officials who were not very smart wrote a letter suggesting that they summon the King of Handan back to the capital... Well, after being scolded by Zhongshu Ling Yang Gongren, Li Yuan sent the unlucky guy to Jiaozhi with a dark face.
This kind of person is almost a giant panda in the court, but most people are half-believed in Li Yuan's statement that it is a Turkic estrangement. Many of them have turned their attention to Prince Li Jiancheng, who is standing at the front and on the left and right sides. King Qin
Li Shimin.
Li Jiancheng was deceived. He had heard similar rumors, but he never took it to heart. After all, he basically saw how Li Shan gained his father's trust and how he got to where he is now step by step.
.
Li Shimin was speechless. He didn't know if this was a tactic used by the Turks to alienate people, but he was certain that it was not done by his side. Moreover, rumors spread throughout Chang'an in just a few days. Could it be the handiwork of the East Palace?
The two brothers looked at each other, and Li Shimin rejected this idea in his heart. Then he turned and glanced at the provincial minister Pei Shiju who was standing not far from his head. Is it possible that he was this old fox?
However, this kind of gossip may seem like it will disrupt the legitimate affairs, but in fact the lethality is almost negligible. After all, everyone from Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin to Princess Pingyang, Li Daoxuan and other clan members are well aware of it.
Li Shimin was thinking in his mind, was it for the Beiya Imperial Guards?
After Li Shan regained the three states, expelled Liang Jun, and even captured Liang Shidu, Liang Luoren's achievements were so great. Now Li Shan's Sinong Qing, who has not yet resigned, is not suitable. It is very likely that he will serve as the general of the Sixteenth Guards.
, once again controlled the Beiya Imperial Army.
And the emergence of this rumor, is it possible that Li Shan is unwilling or Li Yuan does not allow him to control the Beiya Imperial Army?
There is a certain possibility, but his father's trust in Huairen is unusual, and the possibility of success is not high... Thinking of this, Li Shimin's eyes collided with Pei Shiju's, and both of them looked away as if nothing had happened.
Well, it is indeed not Pei Shiju. He has already figured it out. He has taken action again and again, and the result is that the young opponent has become famous all over the world. For such a person, those small tricks are meaningless. His Majesty's trust in him,
It's not something that these baseless rumors can affect.
The entire Taiji Hall was thinking about it. A middle-aged official in the last few rows clenched his hands into fists in his sleeves, and his nails were piercing into his flesh, but he couldn't feel any pain.
Okay, after being included in the clan and conferred the title of county king, now you have to find yourself a father who will be the emperor?
Li Dewu didn't think too much about it. He immediately locked in that this rumor was probably a alienation plan launched by the Turks, but it was most likely the handiwork of his own son who was adding fuel to the flames.
