The word "side by side" king of the Tang Dynasty

Tai Chi Hall.

Seeing Chai Shao and his son leaving, Li Yuan sighed heavily, his brows furrowed and his face full of worry.

He didn't expect that the Chai family would rather disobey the imperial decree than marry Li Xiuning.

Naturally, he had already guessed the reason. It was simply because he was afraid of Li Changqing.

During the day, the reason why he decisively asked Wang Chengren to pass on the decree and let Li Xiuning marry Chai Shao was because he knew about the affair between Li Changqing and Li Xiuning, and he wanted to use this to stop the two of them from missing each other forever.

Moreover, for the sake of the royal family's face, and for the sake of Li Changqing and Li Xiuning's face. Whether as a king or as a father, he must cut off the relationship between the two.

Unlike later generations, as long as there is no blood relationship, outsiders will not say anything about the marriage of an adopted son and a biological daughter. Instead, they will be amazed and envious.

But in this era, an adopted son is the same as a parent. If you marry your biological daughter, you will not abide by the ethics and will be reviled by the world.

If the incident between Li Changqing and Li Xiuning spreads, the Tang royal family will lose face.

The Qiwang and Shandong nobles, who already looked down on the Li family and thought they had Hu people's blood, would definitely criticize the royal family verbally and writtenly without hesitation.

By then, the country will be shaken and the consequences will be unimaginable!

Sitting on the dragon chair, Li Yuan sighed:"Everyone in the world yearns for the throne of the emperor. I have only been on the throne for a few days, but I feel restricted everywhere. Even the emperor must abide by the rules.

I can't control this secular ethics. , I can only break up Changqing and Xiuning cruelly.

Changqing has the world in mind and great ambitions. If he is an emperor, he will definitely be able to lead the Tang Dynasty to be eternal.

It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity that he is not my biological son! I not only want to separate him and Xiuning , and can't give him the status he deserves."

He said it was a pity three times, and Li Yuan sighed.

Today, the eldest son Li Jiancheng committed a fratricidal fratricide and made a big mistake, and was deposed as the crown prince.

The fourth son, Li Yuanji, was killed on the spot by Li Changqing during the ambush.

The second son Li Shimin once summoned the Xuanjia Army to show up at the corner of the imperial city. He didn't show up early and didn't show up until later. But he showed up at that time. Li Yuan could see through whatever idea he had in mind at a glance.

If Li Jing hadn't led 80,000 white-robed troops into the city and took control of the imperial city, I'm afraid he might not be able to sit on this dragon chair now.

"I unified the country and ascended to the supreme throne in the 95th year, but I lost my family ties. My sons are always thinking about my position. Only an adopted son is pure and virtuous, which is really ridiculous and sad."

There is no family affection in the royal family, and infinite sadness arose in Li Yuan's heart.

Suddenly, he was so blessed that a bold idea flashed in his mind. He stood up from the dragon chair in a hurry, with bright eyes, and murmured:

"Jiancheng ambushes Changqing, brothers and sisters kill each other, and the people of the world also have the intention of killing their brothers and forcing them into the palace. Changqing is not my biological son and cannot inherit the country.

He and Xiuning have a deep relationship, so it would be better if they both get married. In the future, Lin'er will be born, who is also of my Li family's blood, and can be established as the emperor's grandson!"

When he thought of this, Li Yuan was so excited that he was trembling with excitement.

Wang Chengren, the eunuch who was serving at the side, was shocked when he heard this, his face changed drastically, and then he quickly lowered his head, not daring to let Li Yuan notice that he heard this. You shouldn't have heard it.

After Li Yuan was excited for a while, he suddenly remembered something and quickly calmed down. His face gradually turned cold and his eyes became sharp.

"Five surnames and seven hopes, Shandong nobles, damn it! hateful!"

The Chinese feudal dynasty, since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, has only respected Confucianism.

Confucianism can govern the country, but at the same time it can also restrain the emperor.

From the peddlers to the emperor, everyone must respect etiquette and law.

The ethical principles are what Confucianism teaches the people. The law. Even a king would not dare to violate it. If you dare to violate it, you will be criticized by the world's scholars and reviled by the world!

Sitting back on the dragon chair again, Li Yuan's eyes kept flashing.

After a long time, he suddenly said:"Here comes someone. , quickly spread the word that Gao Shilian came to the palace to see me."

The eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs received the order and immediately bent down and left the Taiji Hall to convey the emperor's will.

No one dared to delay the emperor's summons.

Soon, Gao Shilian appeared in front of Li Yuan.

He sat face to face with Li Yuan and took a sip. Li Yuan poured the tea himself, and Gao Shilian asked:"Your Majesty summoned you late at night, what's the matter?"

Later generations all know the name of Changsun Wuji, but few people know Gao Shilian.

Gao Shilian was the first counselor under Li Yuan and made many contributions to Li Yuan.

After the founding of the Tang Empire, he was named Zhongshu Ling , is the position of prime minister!

(The Tang Dynasty implemented a system of three provinces and six ministries, in which the highest officials of Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province, and Shangshu Province were all equivalent to prime ministers.)

Changsun Wuji and Changsun Wugao lost their father and mother when they were young. It was Gao Shilian who Their uncle raised them up.

Historically, Gao Shilian discovered that Li Shimin was talented, so he betrothed his niece, the eldest grandson Wugao, to him.

Facing his old subordinates, Li Yuan did not show the emperor's majesty, but said kindly:

"Shi Lian, I want to promise a marriage to Chang Qing, but I have no choice in mind. Therefore, I call you into the palace and ask you a few questions."

Since Chai Shao did not dare to marry Li Xiuning because he was afraid of Li Changqing, Li Yuan could only start from Li Changqing's side and marry him a wife.

Gao Shilian immediately said:"The Minister of Industry, Ying Guogong, and the warrior Xun have two Girl, the eldest daughter is named Wu Shun, she is twelve years old, quiet and dignified.

Li Yuan immediately shook his head:"The daughter of the warrior Yu is quite acceptable as a concubine.""

The ancients talked about a good match. Li Yuan doted on Li Changqing and naturally chose his wife carefully.

In his heart, the daughter of the warrior Yun was not worthy of marrying Li Changqing and could at most be a concubine.

Gao Shilian said again:"Mr. Cui of Qinghe, Cui Xin had a daughter, who was twenty-eight years old and had an appearance that would overwhelm the country."

The Cui family of Qinghe is one of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes, after Jiang Ziya.

No matter how the dynasties change, the Cui family will always stand firm.

In one dynasty of the Tang Dynasty, more than ten prime ministers came from the Cui family.

The Cui family's poems and books were passed down from generation to generation. They all have great scholars. In this era, if you can marry a daughter of the Cui family, not only will it not insult Li Changqing's status, but even Li Yuan will feel bright on his face. Li Yuan nodded with satisfaction

, but when he thought that the Qinghe Cui family thought he had Hu people's blood, I have always looked down on the Li Tang royal family from the bottom of my heart, and my fiery heart has cooled down again.

Although Li Changqing is an adopted son, will they marry their daughter?

If they refuse the marriage, what will happen to the royal family's face!

After thinking about it again and again, Li Yuan said:" Cui's daughter could be a candidate. Does Shi Lian recommend any other women? Gao

Shilian pondered for a moment, stood up, bowed, and said:"I have a niece, the eldest grandson Wugu, whose nickname is Guanyin Maid. She is a member of the royal family of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and she is still waiting to be named Guizhong."

Avalokitesvara is only fifteen years old, in the prime of her life. He is well-educated, virtuous and virtuous, and can be a good match for the general."

Li Yuan was silent for a moment, then looked up at Gao Shilian, and saw that his expression was neither humble nor arrogant, and his eyes did not dodge at all.

Then he smiled and said:"Tomorrow, Shilian can bring Guanyin maid into the palace to see me."

"promise!"

Gao Shilian bowed and bowed.
