Zhenguan Wenzong System

Chapter 214

The news of the marriage spread quickly.

Although Luo Yan was in Du's residence, he only found out the news an hour or two later than others.At the moment, he was staring at the little guy Du He reading poems and essays, and hearing the servants outside the window kept talking about this, Luo Yan remembered this.However, the time in the history books is indeed a bit different, and I have been staying with Du He these days, so I forgot.

Although I don't know which family's county master will suffer, but as an old man, Luo Yan feels that it is useless to make a kiss.

Although it is customary in Turks that Khan's wife can also participate in politics, but think about a weak princess in Datang marrying someone else.How many years has Tong Ye Hu Laogui been operating in western Turkic, can he be easily controlled by a weak woman to power?What's more, the civil strife in Jieli's area has not been settled yet, and Tuyuhun was severely injured a few years ago, and it will take time to recover.

When it really comes to the time when the married princess has the right, Datang's national power has already developed to the point where there is no need for such things.Thinking about it carefully, in fact, besides getting some psychological comfort, what practical benefits can there be for Datang to get married at this time?Therefore, Luo Yan himself did not agree to this marriage, whether it was out of an angry youth mentality or out of practical interests.

Even if he refused, Luo Yan did not believe that Tong Yehu would become angry and antagonize Datang.They are also enemies on all sides, not to mention that they don't have much border with Datang.If you want to fight, you have to guard your lair first.

Thinking of how Luo Yan could bear it, he had already forgotten what Du Ruhui reminded him a few days ago.If he didn't speak out the words in his heart this time, Luo Yan felt that he would die.That's right, if you don't do it, you will die.This is what Luo Yan wants to say at this moment.Although doing it would definitely make Li Shimin angry, and even put his own future in jeopardy, but apart from these, Luo Yan felt that he was not a man.

Taking the pen and paper from Du He's desk, Luo Yan wrote: "I have heard that a weak country has no diplomacy. During the Warring States period, there were constant conquests, and countries sent protons to each other, or married in order to seek an alliance. However, the relationship between the three families When Jin is divided, its allies have no help; when Yanzhao is destroyed, its in-laws have more suspicions. Why? The prosperity of the world is all for profit, and the world is full of hustle and bustle for profit. If people are like this, so is the country.

During the Daye period of the former Sui Dynasty, the Turks in the west did not pay tribute. Emperor Yang asked people to ask about it. Because of the turmoil in the world and the instability of the foundation, the Turkic Khan had nothing to do with the envoys.However, he was threatened by the Eastern Turks and enslaved.When you don't see the benefits, be arrogant; but when you see the harm, be respectful.Now His Majesty is marrying the niece and niece of the clan, but repeating the story of the past, what good is it? "

Afterwards, I analyzed the disputes between the two Turks and their impact on Datang one by one, and finally came to a conclusion, that is, the marriage has no real benefits to Datang except to look good.What's more, there is a Jieli in the middle, even if he is a little embarrassed now, he can still make trouble for Li Shimin.This would make it even more embarrassing.

Luo Yan hasn't said anything yet, once this marriage is done in the end, what face do you have as an emperor.But just think about it for yourself, if it is written in this memorial, Luo Yan doesn't have to think that he can be an official in this life.

After Luo Yan finished writing, he saw that Du He had already stopped reading poems and just looked at him eagerly.He said to Du He apologetically: "Just now I neglected you in some matters, I'm sorry. I've just read this for now. Depending on the progress, I can finish reading these two hundred poems tomorrow. We will start learning poetry the day after tomorrow. We will rest for five days during the Chinese New Year. , continue with the rest of the time. Try to set aside some time for us to walk around this Chang'an city." Mo Duhe headed and asked him to go out to play by himself, while Luo Yan asked his servants to take him to the living room and wait quietly Du Ruhui's arrival.

The marriage has nothing to do with Du Ruhui, Minister of the Ministry of War, so Du Ruhui didn't stay up late like the Ministry of Rites, and returned home early.

Du Ruhui was a little surprised to see that Luo Yan was still at home. In the past few days, except for the day when Du He finished reading "Enlightenment of the Rhythm", Luo Yan left at the end of Shen Shi.I stayed today because I thought I had something to tell myself.So he invited Luo Yan to the study without even eating.

"Dr. Luo has been waiting for so long, don't you know what's going on?" Du Ruhui didn't hold back, Luo Yan's seriousness these days really convinced Du Ruhui.Although betting on this matter is a bit of a joke, Du Ruhui understands very well that what Luo Yan taught Du He, he definitely put his heart into it.Who has seen that "Enlightenment of Sound Rhythm" was written overnight, and who has seen the most classic poems of hundreds of years sorted out in four days.

If Luo Yan hadn't put his heart into it, could these things be done?

Staring at Du Ruhui for a while, when Du Ruhui was about to cry out, Luo Yan said: "There is a memorial, and I want Du Shang to forward it to His Majesty. You also know that with my current rank, there is no way to go directly to it." God will listen." When Du Ruhui said this, he was also a little bit embarrassed, and Luo Yan, the core staff of Qin Wangfu, was getting more and more unbearable.

"Of course there is no problem with this. I will submit the memorial tomorrow morning. But, you won't cause any trouble this time, right?" Du Ruhui was still a little worried.Luo Yan suddenly wrote a letter without incident, there must be something wrong.

"It's not about getting married. I have a different opinion. Now everyone in the court is blinded by the superficial interests of getting married. Sometimes they see clearly, and it's not easy to say these things because of my position. Anyway, I have always had this temperament. I wrote a letter It won't do any harm."

After hearing Luo Yan's explanation, Du Ruhui immediately wanted to go back on his word.But listening carefully to Luo Yan's words, he felt the same way.Now that he is working in the Ministry of War, he can't see clearly the surrounding situation, not to mention Du Ruhui and other brilliant talents, who have already seen all kinds of strengths clearly.But sometimes the country just wants to do things that have no actual benefits, but can make a face.

It would be bad if China's diplomatic relations were all measured by interests.

Seeing that Du Ruhui wanted to stop him, Luo Yan said with a wry smile: "Don't worry about Du Shangshu, although it will make His Majesty angry for a while, but I think if His Majesty can really read all of my words, he will definitely not give it to me." Add any crimes. Moreover, His Majesty has read this memorial and will not spread it."

He comforted Du Ruhui to rest assured, but Luo Yan himself felt a little uneasy.Luo Yan was afraid that he had guessed wrongly about Li Shimin's character. If that was the case, he might not have to think about being reused in this life.

The next day, after Du Ruhui's early court, he asked to see Li Shimin alone.How could Li Shimin refuse this arm's request, and soon Du Ruhui came in front of Li Shimin.

"Keming, what's the matter? You didn't say anything during the court meeting just now, but you want to find me here. Could it be that something serious happened in the Northland?" Li Shimin was a little puzzled.Apart from the northern affairs, is there anything else that Du Ruhui needs to ask to see alone?
"I have a memorial here, which was forwarded to His Majesty by Dr. Luo Yantuochen of Jinzhou. I hope that after reading it, Your Majesty will not get angry and get into the dragon body."

Hearing Du Ruhui's words, Li Shimin was also quite curious. "Luo Yan's memorabilia? This kid definitely didn't say anything good. But when you said that, I really became interested. Okay, Keming, you go to work first. I will take a good look at it after I finish dealing with these things at hand. Look. Could it be that Luo Yan is speaking ill of me?" Li Shimin continued to review the memorial in Yang Yang's hands curiously.But Du Ruhui walked out with a strange expression on his face.

Half an hour later, the eldest grandson Wugou arrived at the entrance of the main hall under the protection of a large group of maids and servants.

Thanks to Sun Simiao's skillful hands and Luo Yan's ideas, Changsun Wugou's episodes of qi illness have become less and less in the past few months, and his health is much better now.Even walking in the palace has no effect.Today was a rare sunny day, Empress Changsun was in the harem thinking about Li Shimin's fatigue last night, so she ordered the imperial dining room to cook ginseng soup, and at this moment she asked the maid beside her to bring Li Shimin to see him.

Walking to the gate of the main hall, I heard Li Shimin cursing and the sound of something being thrown to the ground.

After blocking the voice of the palace servants, the eldest grandson Wugou walked in slowly.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Li Shimin standing with his back to him, but he was still cursing: "Student, too presumptuous..." Anyway, Changsun Wugou had heard Li Shimin swearing, but he could swear dozens of words like this without repeating the same thing. Also this is really rare.

Going over to pick up the memorials on the ground, he walked slowly to Li Shimin, and asked in a warm voice: "What is it that bothers His Majesty so much?"

Hearing that the eldest grandson Wugou came, Li Shimin's anger also dissipated a lot. He turned around and helped the eldest grandson Wugou to sit on the dragon bed, and then said angrily: "It's not Luo Yan who is a scholar. I think he is a scholar." It’s silly to read it. Both civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty agreed with my marriage with that western Turk, but what he said has no benefit in getting married now, and I only agree because I think it saves face.”

Thinking of this made him even angrier, Li Shimin continued to curse: "He doesn't even think about it, am I the kind of person who does things for the sake of face?"

After Changsun Wugou heard this, he persuaded: "Your Majesty is not ignorant, Luo Yan has always had that temperament. Besides, in my opinion, this is His Majesty's blessing. All civil and military officials in the court are in favor of it, but some people are against it. To be able to speak so sharply is to warn His Majesty not to be complacent."

Li Shimin also felt much better after being told by Changsun Wugou.After receiving the memorial from the grandson Wugou, Li Shimin said very displeasedly: "I want to see what he wrote later. If you continue to scold me like this, it doesn't make sense at all. Don't blame me for punishing him." Then Then he continued to read Luo Yan's not-so-short memorial.Next, I talked about the stories of the marriages of the past dynasties. How can Li Shimin not know about these classics and history.However, some words between the lines seem to be satirizing him, so his face has not been good.

But with the eldest grandson Wugou by his side, he didn't continue to be as angry as before.

Such emotions continued until the end.When Li Shimin read the last few sentences, his anger turned into a sigh: "It turns out that only Luo Yan understands me."

"What I want is to not pay tribute if you don't get along with your relatives. The emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country. If you want to go to the army and horses in the forest garden, you want your majesty to do the same? Sad, men are incompetent, so I sent my sisters to the bitter cold place."
