His Majesty Li Er calmed down, picked up a piece of pastry, ate a piece of pastry, and said: "You don't want to get married yourself, so it's up to you to be a father. After all, you are a little younger, so it doesn't matter if you delay it for a few years, but your sister Changle is already very old.
, what's the point of being obsessed with seeking immortality? There are some things that a father can't say, but sisters can talk to each other freely. You should also advise her in your spare time. After all, a woman must find a man to rely on, and she can't really stay with him for the rest of her life.
By your father's side, right? That's really outrageous."
A woman has three obediences, and there is no special way. Therefore, before she is married, she obeys her father, when she is married, she obeys her husband, and when her husband dies, she obeys her son.
Although the Tang Dynasty was very graceful towards women, even those things that women were not allowed to do in previous dynasties could be said and done freely in the Tang Dynasty. However, the traditional "three obediences and four virtues" are deep-rooted rules that cannot be obliterated at any time.
This is the code of conduct for a woman.
Even if she is an imperial princess, has no worries about food and clothing, and has a high status, in the final analysis, a mother is more valuable than her children, and no husband can do it. But if you have no children by your side, and you will be lonely and helpless when you grow old, that feeling is like any status, no matter how much wealth you have.
It’s impossible to eliminate…
However, his two most beloved daughters seem to be unwilling to get married. How can His Majesty Li Er not be so worried and depressed?
Princess Jinyang frowned, wondering: "It's not my daughter who refuses to persuade me, but my father and the emperor also understand Sister Changle's temperament. She seems gentle and virtuous, but in fact she is the most stubborn. Back then, she would rather swallow it herself."
All the bitterness, and she never said a bad word about Changsun Chong. All the bitterness and grievances were kept in her heart, and she suffered them silently. When she finally couldn't go on, she would break away from him, no matter what the world's eyes, no matter what ethics.
Etiquette. She is really heartbroken by a man. Once bitten by a snake, she has been afraid of well ropes for ten years. Even if others try to persuade her, how can she be willing to listen?"
His Majesty Li Er secretly thought, I am not afraid that she will not listen, but I am most afraid that she will really have an admiration for Fang Jun. The so-called rumors may not be unfounded. Those rumors are spreading like wildfire, and the whole Guanzhong Street is aware of them.
He didn't take it seriously at all.
Scandals are not to be mentioned. The style of the Li and Tang royal family has always been criticized by the people, and the royal family cares too much about this, but His Majesty Li Er cannot get over this hurdle in his heart.
You little bastard Fang Jun has already married one of my daughters, why do you dare to worry about the other one?
Is my daughter so worthless?
Glancing at Princess Jinyang, His Majesty Li Er considered for a moment. Seeing that there was no one around, he moved forward, got close to his daughter, and asked quietly: "I am the only one here to talk to you. Please say something to my father."
To tell the truth, do you, Sister Changle, really like her, and that’s why she has been reluctant to get married? Otherwise, even if someone comes to propose marriage, it will be all excuses and evasiveness."
Princess Jinyang's beautiful eyes widened instantly, and she looked at her father in disbelief. She was stunned for a long time, and then said: "This... my father is the king of a country, and he rules the world as the supreme king. How can he peek into his daughter's family?"
What's on your mind?"
His Majesty Li Er himself feels embarrassed. Whose father is as aggrieved as him?
Blushing, he argued: "What are you talking about? Even though a father is the lord of the world and the king of the empire, he is also a father first. As a father, you should care about your children's concerns and always think about what is best for them.
If you don’t even know what you want, how can we give you happiness? Just tell your father that if Chang Le really has feelings for Fang Jun, then your father will find a way to make them happy.
Yes, otherwise, if she is forced to marry someone she doesn't like, she will be miserable and miserable for the rest of her life. How can a father feel at ease?"
Princess Jinyang tilted her head slightly, thought about it, and felt that what her father said made sense.
My father has already said that he will no longer use the princesses as bargaining chips for marriages in the future, and will try his best to allow each princess to marry a husband of his choice. And for Sister Changle, my father feels deeply sorry, and always thinks that it was him who
He advocated marrying Sister Changle to Changsun Chong in order to maintain the alliance between the royal family and the Guanlong nobles. This in turn made Sister Changle entrusted to an inhumane person and made her depressed. In the end, she had to end up in peace and divorce, wasting her great youth.
years.
It seems to be a good idea to confide one's feelings to the father so that the father knows what is on his daughters' minds, and also to prevent sister Changle's tragic marriage from happening again.
When Princess Jinyang finished speaking, she looked up and saw her father's burning eyes. Her heart skipped a beat, she pursed her lips and swallowed back the words that were on her lips...
My father said very well, but he has always opposed the close relationship between sister Changle and brother-in-law Fang Jun. Why is he so uncharacteristically saying that he is willing to help them?
If my father is lying to me, if I say something inappropriate and turn around, my father may embarrass brother-in-law Fang Jun...
Hum hum!
Do you really think I'm a child, so easy to coax?
Lowering her eyes, Princess Jinyang knelt down and said seriously: "How could my father think so? Brother-in-law Fang Jun is not only talented and a master of poetry, but he is also a man of great righteousness and deep benevolence. How can any woman in the world think so?"
A person who doesn't want to get close to brother-in-law Fang Jun? Although sister Changle is a princess, she is also an ordinary woman. It is natural for her to admire such a talented person as her brother-in-law. Moreover, her brother-in-law once risked his life to save sister Changle's life at the hands of thugs, so he admires talented people.
How could Sister Changle not be close to Brother-in-law Fang Jun because of their love and the kindness to risk their lives to save each other? As for the affair that the father suspected... the woman really didn't know. If the father was too embarrassed to ask directly, how could the daughter ask later?
Sister Changle, will you give your father a reply again?"
His Majesty Li Er stroked his beard and thought deeply, feeling that what Princess Jinyang said was correct.
A man like Fang Jun has a noble family background, great talents, a young senior official, and outstanding achievements. How can any daughter in the world not like him?
Even the royal family of Silla, which was attached as a minister, was not willing to lend its princess to Fang Jun as a concubine?
Maybe... if you really care, you will be confused and too sensitive?
As for Princess Jinyang asking Changle, of course it won't work...
"This matter ends here. It's just a private conversation between my father and you. It doesn't need to be said that Yu Changle knows about it. Otherwise, according to her temperament, she will think that my father is prying into her thoughts and interfering with her thoughts. If she is angry because of this,
, but not beautiful.”
Princess Jinyang curled her lips quietly, saying it so nicely, then what are you doing, aren't you peeking into Sister Changle's thoughts?
His Majesty Li Er asked again: "Xiao Yao's wedding is in the autumn, and the days are not far away. The Wei family is poor, and the house was given to Wei Zheng by his father. It has not been repaired for more than ten or twenty years.
I am afraid that I will wrong Xiao Yao if I go in. Now that I have abundant money, my father will not wrong his daughter, so he built a house in Jingshanfang and gave it to her to live in after she gets married. If you have nothing to do, you can go with Xiao Yao.
I often go there to see if there is any scenery I like, and tell the people from the Ministry of Works. Those guys only know how to build houses that are thick, strong, and durable. They wish they could tear off the bricks from the Great Wall and build gables. It really doesn’t look good.
."
As long as the marriage was not mentioned, Princess Jinyang still liked to sit and chat with her father. She immediately happily put forward some of her opinions, saying that she and Xiaoyao would consult together and build a house.
A mansion to your heart's content...
*****
In the palace, His Majesty Li Er was happily discussing with his daughter which style of mansion would be more beautiful. In the Yamen of Dali Temple, Qiu Xinggong was brought into the main hall and underwent his first interrogation.
Changsun Wuji came back from the palace and thought for a long time. He felt that the task entrusted to him by His Majesty Li Er was really difficult to handle.
It is necessary to find out the mastermind behind the scenes and hold them accountable according to law. At the same time, we must pay attention to the implicated impact of the case. It must not cause turmoil in the court, affect the current prosperous and stable situation, let alone affect the Eastern Expedition starting next spring.
And in this process, Changsun Wuji also seeks some benefits for the Guanlong nobles...
There were too many requirements and too many restrictions. Changsun Wuji felt that it was too difficult for him.
After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't think of a perfect solution, so I had to be determined and try Qiu Xinggong first. Regardless of whether he has a date or not, let's talk about it first. What if this case really doesn't involve any heavyweights?
?
In the main hall of Dali Temple, Changsun Wuji sat firmly and looked at Qiu Xinggong who was escorted up. Qiu Xinggong was a key figure in both cases. If the final two cases had nothing to do with Qiu Xinggong, Changsun Wuji would rather die than
believe.
The key question now depends on whether Qiu Xinggong will reveal the mastermind behind the scenes. If he grits his teeth and refuses to say anything, it will be the most ideal situation for Changsun Wuji...
