Emperor Sui Yang

Yang Jin was a little confused now. My grandfather asked me to marry the Cui family, and my grandmother asked me to marry the Chen family. Which one should I listen to?

This kid was originally very opinionated, but he was also confused about this kind of thing. After all, he didn't quite understand the political factors involved.

First of all, he has actually never met these two girls.

According to Shen Wuhua's words, you might as well meet someone first. If you really fall in love with one of them, you can ask your father for help.

You can't just decide who the boss likes, and whoever I like.

So when he returned to the East Palace in the middle of the night, he went to Yang Rui to discuss it.

"It's all up to me, I'll arrange it," Yang Rui promised, patting his chest: "I'll help you with your advice, and we'll decide which one we like. If grandma doesn't agree, I'll tell you. .”

Then Yang Rui sent someone to call Li Mi, asking Li Mi to go to the capital tomorrow and bring Cui Mintao's daughter to Luoyang, and then sent Cui Shishu to Qinghe County to bring back Chen Yuan's daughter.

Cui Shishu and Cui Shu, these are two people. The former is a young man. When he suppressed the rebellion in Hebei, he was the leader of the soldiers of the old Cui family. He followed Yang Ming and made great achievements in defeating Gao Shida. Now he serves in the East Palace.

Cui Shuna is already a big boss, the minister of Sinong Temple, and he is growing cotton.

Changsun Wuji frowned and said: "It's really hard to choose between these two. In terms of family background, there is no doubt that the Cui family has the upper hand, but Chen Yuan's wife is the niece of the queen. If the Cui family is chosen, the queen will have a hard time. This It cannot be changed by the prince with a few words."

"When my father got married, the Holy Queen let my father choose by himself," Yang Jin muttered, "I also want to choose by myself."

Changsun Wuji hurriedly whispered: "I'm afraid I didn't choose the prince myself at the beginning. How could it be such a coincidence that I happened to choose someone from the Dugu family?"

Yang Jin was stunned, patted his forehead and said with a bitter smile: "I forgot about this. Concubine Dugu was the original concubine. I heard that she had been ill back then. Do you know about this?"

"Don't talk about this, you deserve a beating," Yang Rui said quickly, "Who in the East Palace dares to mention this matter?"

Yang Jin grinned and didn't dare to say anything further. After all, Pei Shuying also reminded him that he couldn't tell anyone about this matter.

"Shimin will arrive in Luoyang soon. When he comes, he can help make suggestions," Changsun Wuji said.

Yang Jin was stunned: "How could it be so fast?"

"It's almost the same," Yang Rui said: "He took a sea boat from Guangzhou to the north, and then took a boat when he arrived in Jiangdu, but it was only a month later."

"Didn't you see Duke Tang Guo come to Luoyang?" Yang Jin said.

Yang Rui smiled and said, "You didn't ask me to come in the first place? It's so painful to take the land route in the winter. I went to Hebei from Jinyang and took a boat and took the canal directly to Jiangdu."

"The diversion of the canal also has to pass through Xingyang. Xingyang is not far from Luoyang? Why can't we come here?" Yang Jin asked in surprise.

Yang Rui chuckled and said, "I heard that Duke Tang is not willing to go to Lingnan. My father is afraid of hearing his complaints if we meet him, so it is best not to meet him."

"That's it," Yang Jin laughed: "Let's not talk about my affairs for now. Didn't we make an appointment to leave the palace together tomorrow to meet Lai Ying? Let Wuji check things first."

Changsun Wuji's marriage has been agreed upon and the engagement has been finalized, but he has yet to meet her in person. I just heard that the girl Lai Huer is average-looking.

Although Lai Zheng and Lai Yu tried their best to argue, Qiao Chun, who went to the capital with Lai's family to pick up Lai Ying, said that her appearance was a bit unsatisfactory.

In fact, it doesn't matter. It's enough that the father is here to take care of the child. What qualifications do you have to choose from him?
If your appearance doesn't satisfy you, you can take a concubine, right?But don't think about shaking the status of the head wife.

"But having said that, Wuji married Rong Gong's daughter, life will be difficult in the future," Yang Rui said teasingly: "There are too many brothers-in-law. I heard that they are all brave people. If you dare to bully Lai Ying, no one will protect her." Can’t help you.”

Yang Jin praised him and said, "The parents and grandsons of the family are not vegetarians, are they? Wuji's status in the clan will not be low in the future, so there is no need to look at the family's face."

Indeed, Changsun Wuji's fourth uncle, Changsun Chang, had been killed by Yu Wenhuaji. Now the imperial court has opinions on Changsun's family.

The status of Changsun Sheng's branch in the family is no longer good. The family has strong opinions on Changsun Anmin, the head of the family. Now it seems that they are discussing to change the speaker.

After all, everyone can see that not only the prince, but also the King of Qin doesn't like the eldest grandson Anmin. If you continue to be the head of the family, it will be detrimental to the family.

So who is the right person to take over?Sun Hong, the young minister of Zongzheng Temple, is a member of the two kingdoms.

The eldest brother, Sun Hong, is the Duke of Xue, and the second brother, the eldest brother, Sun Kuan, is the Duke of Guan. There are four of them, and they are all very powerful. The key is that they also have a younger sister, who is Yang Xiu's daughter-in-law.

Originally, the eldest son's family was the more powerful one, but Yang Xiu had some stains back then. He used witchcraft and witchcraft for his biological mother, Dugu Jialuo, so the whole family was implicated.

Now that Yang Xiu has come out of the mountain, they have also seen the light of day, and Changsun Hong and Changsun Wuji have met frequently in private, and their intention to make friends could not be more obvious.

Yang Ming stayed at Gao Yue's place that night.

When everyone was together at night, Gao Yue refused to go. Now she is still alone, without a title or heir.

How old Gao Yue is this year, I won't say it until she dies, but Yang Ming guesses that he should be almost fifty, about 47 years old.

However, her health is not bad, and some people believe her when they say she is in her early forties.

"From now on, just come to my place and listen to the piano. Your Highness is in his prime, and beauties from all over the world are flocking to him. Don't waste your time on me," Gao Yue said with a smile on his face, but felt a little miserable in his heart.The reason why she said this was because Yang Ming was taking off his clothes and he obviously wanted to do something.

Yang Ming smiled, walked over and pulled Gao Yue to the edge of the cave, and personally undressed her:

"To me, you are still the same Gao Yue who was the most beautiful in the past, and this will not change."

Gao Yue suddenly grabbed Yang Ming's hand: "If you really pity me, give me a child."

Yang Ming was stunned, and fell down from the fire instantly. He sat on the collapse and said: "No, you are pregnant now, the risk is too great."

Gao Yue hurriedly knelt down by Yang Ming's legs and begged: "I know it's dangerous, but I really want to have a child of yours. Only a child can give me hope, so that I won't live in a state of confusion every day. It's not as good as life." die."

She has no relatives around her. During the holidays, Yang Ming and her woman have a lot of relatives who come to greet her and send them gifts. She is the only one with nothing.

So in recent years, I have become more and more lonely, and gradually stopped being gregarious.

Yang Ming sighed, shook his head and said, "It's because I pity you that I don't want you to take this risk. It's all my fault. In fact, I should have given you a child long ago."

"I have never blamed you. I know your difficulties." Gao Yue suddenly cried: "Please, if I don't have children by my side, I don't know how long I can survive. Just leave me a thought." Bar."

Yang Ming was silent.

In fact, he also knew that Gao Yue had been depressed these past few years and was almost autistic. If he continued like this, he would have mental problems sooner or later.

In the past, Gao Yue could not have her own children, but now she can, but Gao Yue is too old.

This is the case for women. As long as you have given birth to your first child, the risk of having a second child will be much smaller when you are older, but you have not given birth to your first child.

To give birth now is to risk your life.

Faced with Gao Yue's constant crying, Yang Ming actually relented. With the royal medical conditions, such a thing would have a headache.

Although Wu Zetian's mother was also an advanced maternal age in history, she was a minority after all, and most of them would not survive.

But as Gao Yue said, she feels life is meaningless now. Without thoughts and hope, what is the difference between her and a walking zombie?

After a while, Yang Ming nodded helplessly:
"That's all, it's up to you."

Gao Yue instantly turned from tears to laughter, and tried her best to please Yang Ming. A woman who has rekindled hope exudes light.

Yang Ming originally liked having sex with Gao Yue the most, so this night was naturally enjoyable.

The next day, after Yang Yinjiang heard about this, she hurriedly asked the best pediatrician in the Imperial Medical Office to make preparations to ensure that Gao Yue would be pregnant and give birth smoothly.

They also felt sorry for Gao Yue. After all, Gao Yue had done Yang Ming a huge, huge favor.

No one can do this for you.

The next day, at Dali Temple, the case of Yang Jian's murder was also concluded. Zhu Can was wrongly accused and the murderer was manslaughter. They did not know the identities of Yang Yin and others.

When such a result was presented, Yang Ming was the first to not believe it.

But the case can only be concluded this way. Can you dig deeper?cannot.

Zheng Shanguo has held the position of Minister of Dali Temple for so many years, and no one knows better than anyone how to handle the case.

On the evening of the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, Yang Rui, Yang Jin, and Changsun Wuji went out of the palace to enjoy the lanterns, and met Lai Ying by the way.

It didn't snow today, but the whole of Luoyang was covered in snow and beautiful.

Along with the three of them, there was another person, the eldest grandson Wugou who was not married yet this year.

It stands to reason that she is not too young and should have gotten married long ago. The reason why she didn't get married was because no one proposed marriage.

Is it because you don't like it?No, it's because he has already been determined to enter the East Palace.

Yang Ming had said before that if his eldest grandson Wugu was not married at the age of 16, he would accept her.

In the past two years, first Yang Guang's northern expedition, and then the rebellion in the world, the marriages of many children of big families have also been delayed.

The main reason is that many children from aristocratic families have participated in the war, and no one knows whether they will come back alive, so they cannot blindly get engaged.

No one wants their daughter to be a widow, right?So Changsun Wujia was delayed for two years.

Her appearance is very tough, no worse than Wei Gui, and very attractive. However, Yang Rui and Yang Jin have no feelings for her, mainly because they are too familiar with her. They grew up together, so they don't have such thoughts. .

It's like when Yang Ming met Xue Daoheng's daughter Xue Chi, it was like meeting a buddy, and he didn't feel anything at all. (End of chapter)
