Chapter 112: The sorrow of being a princess
Fang Xuanling understood Li Shimin's thoughts. He had no idea of Yi Chu at all. This was crucial, so Fang Xuanling could not say bad things about the prince.
The masters who taught the prince were respected, and many of them were Fang Xuanling's friends, so Fang Xuanling could not say that they were not well taught, so they could only put the reason to the pressure.
This is true. Li Chengqian is under great pressure and it is difficult for ordinary people to bear.
If you want to build a house, you will be impeached and live a luxurious life. If you play with eunuchs, you will be compared to Qin II. You can imagine the pressure of Li Chengqian!
Fang Xuanling's entry point was very wonderful and he immediately won the approval of Li Shimin.
Li Shimin sighed: "Xuanling, you have a unique vision and you can see the problem at a glance. Indeed, in order to cultivate the prince, I have invited so many teachers to teach. These people have their own talents and their own requirements and standards. One person is strict with the prince. The prince can bear it, but everyone is strict with him. How can the prince bear it? They are not wrong, but they are wrong. Everyone has high expectations for the prince, so they ignore the prince's feelings."
Speaking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help asking, "Xuanling, do you think it would be better if I'm exempting several attendants now?"
"Sage, this is not allowed!" Fang Xuanling immediately rejected.
Li Shimin signaled him to continue.
Fang Xuanling explained: "Sage, look, if you suddenly get rid of the lecture, what will the crown prince think? What will the civil and military officials think?"
"Yes, if I do that, the prince will be frightened and think that I want to depose him. The ministers will also think this way. The situation in the court will inevitably be turbulent. Even if I come forward to explain the reason, it will probably be difficult to calm down." Li Shimin knew this consequence very well. As the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, his words and deeds were the weather vane, and the whole world was staring at him.
After Li Shimin finished speaking, he said, "It doesn't work directly to waive the lecturer. It's a waste of time. It may not be possible to let these old ministers not have such high requirements for the prince! Xuanling, you are resourceful, but you have a good idea? Hurry up and share my worries!"
Fang Xuanling lost a son, and then smiled and said, "Does the saint still remember that when His Highness the Crown Prince was young, the saint was afraid that His Highness the Crown Prince would grow into a deep palace and not hear the difficulties of the people. He specifically said to Zhining, Du Zhenglun and others: We should tell the hardships and sufferings of the people's lives. The effect was extremely high. His Highness presided over the compilation of the "Chapters and Sentences of the Book of Filial Piety". In the ninth year of Zhenguan, Emperor Gaozu was the queen of heaven, and the saint asked the prince to supervise the country and be aware of military and national affairs. His Highness was only seventeen years old at that time, and the state affairs were handled properly, which was quite outstanding."
"Of course I remember! So the performance of the prince in the meeting hall during this period made me very angry. The bigger I got, the worse it was. Oh, I understand what you mean!" Li Shimin suddenly realized: "Actually, the prince is still a qualified prince, but his energy is still dealing with all the teachers now, and with his suspicion of himself, he has a little self-giving! At this time, I have to give him motivation and restore his confidence."
"Sage is wise!" Fang Xuanling said respectfully.
Li Shimin nodded. As for how to restore Li Chengqian's confidence, Fang Xuanling would not have to say anything else. Li Shimin had his own method.
After Fang Xuanling's guidance, Li Shimin became happy and pulled Fang Xuanling to play three games in a row, narrowly defeating Fang Xuanling every time.
Then Fang Xuanling asked to leave the palace.
...
In the past two days, Princess Gaoyang and Princess Changle were asked by Li Shimin to stay in Fengyang Pavilion and thought about their mistakes and prohibited from going out. All the two did not know about the news outside.
But without the airtight wall, the marriage between Lin Xiu and Yuchi Qingqing has been rumored.
The news came into Fengyang Pavilion and into the ears of the two princesses.
At this moment, both princesses were stunned.
Princess Gaoyang didn't believe this kind of thing, and she was clamoring to go out and questioned Yuchi Qingqing in person, how could she grab the sweetheart of her good friend?
Princess Changle sighed and murmured: "It's good!"
Then, he hurriedly comforted Princess Gaoyang.
"Gaoyang, Lin Xiu doesn't want to be the prince consort, why bother? There are many good men in the world, and you will meet the prince consort who is suitable for you." Li Lizhi comforted.
Princess Gaoyang shouted: "Even if Lin Xiu can't be my son-in-law, he can't marry Yuchi Qingqing, why?"
After saying that, Princess Gaoyang ran out of Fengyang Pavilion without hesitation.
The final result was that the two were summoned by Li Shimin.
Seeing Gao Yang's expression of grievance and sadness, Li Shimin understood that this girl seemed to really like Lin Xiu, so he was glad that he let Fang Xuanling handle Lin Xiu's marriage and cut off the girl's thoughts.
However, Li Shimin pretended not to know and asked, "You two sneaked out of the palace and ran to Zhongnan Mountain, and almost couldn't come back. The lockdown time is not over yet, where are you going? Where do you want to go?"
Gao Yang was so angry that he said, "I want to go to see Duke E's mansion and Yuchi Qingqing!"
"Father, we heard that Yuchi Qingqing was going to get engaged to Lin Xiu?" Li Lizhi also asked.
Li Shimin nodded and explained to the two: "I would like to thank you for the marriage between Lin Xiu and Yuchi Qingqing, you two are their matchmakers."
"Father, what do you mean?" Li Li asked, and Princess Gaoyang also looked at Li Shimin.
Li Shimin explained: "When you came back from Zhongnan Mountain, did you encounter an assassin? Do you know that Yuchi Qingqing was seriously injured in order to create a chance to escape. Later, in order to save her, Lin Xiu took off her clothes and saw a place that he shouldn't have seen. This was known by Yuchi Gong and threatened to kill Lin Xiu, which ruined Yuchi Qingqing's innocence. You also know that Yuchi Gong's hot temper and loves his only daughter. Fang Xuanling heard about this and felt that Lin Xiu, as a man, must set an example, so he discussed with Yuchi Gong and decided on the marriage."
As soon as these words were said, both women were stunned, but they didn't expect the reason to be here.
At this time, Li Shimin said again: "And Lin Xiu has a good impression of Yuchi Qingqing. They are both martial arts practitioners, have common topics, and have life and death. This marriage will naturally come naturally. I know that you and Yuchi Qingqing are good friends. You must go over and bless her, but now Yuchi Qingqing's injuries have not healed yet, so don't disturb her for the time being."
The cunning Li Shimin pretended not to know what Gao Yang thought about Lin Xiu.
Although Gao Yang was noisy, he was also depressed at this time.
If it were Yuchi Qingqing who snatched her sweetheart, she would definitely not want it, but now that is the reason, Gao Yang found that he had no reason to question Yuchi Qingqing. What's more, Lin Xiu liked Yuchi Qingqing, so what was she? Relying on her identity as a princess, did she force Lin Xiu to be the princess?
Thinking that he really liked Lin Xiu, but was disliked by Lin Xiu, Gao Yang suddenly burst into tears.
"Woo woo..." Qing tears flowed down her cheeks.
Li Lizhi hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her. This comfort didn't matter, and it made Gao Yang cry even more fiercely.
Li Shimin pretended to be unknown and asked deliberately: "What's wrong? Why did you suddenly cry? Did you think of yourself when you saw that Yuchi Qingqing was going to get married? It's time for you and Changle to get married. I've already found a prince-consort for you. Changle, what do you think of Changsun Chong? Gaoyang, what do you think of Fang Yiai?"
There was bitterness in Li Lizhi's heart because he knew from the beginning that his son-in-law might be Changsun Chong. Even though there was a small episode before, the result was still not changed.
She doesn't like Changsun Chong, she doesn't like it at all.
But when facing Li Shimin, she couldn't open her mouth and couldn't say anything to refuse.
But when Gao Yang heard that his son-in-law was Fang Yiai, he cried even more: "I don't want it, I don't want it! I don't want Fang Yiai to be my son-in-law!"
Originally, Lin Xiu's wife, but now she has become Lin Xiu's sister-in-law. This relationship is not something Gao Yang is willing to get.
Li Shimin's face turned right and said, "Don't mess around! The prince consorts I have selected for you are carefully selected, and they are the most suitable prince consorts."
"A guy like Fang Yiai is still carefully selected? I think it's for Shi Eng Fang Xuanling!" Gao Yang yelled angrily.
Li Shimin was also a little angry and shouted immediately: "As princesses of the Tang Dynasty, your marriage is extraordinary, and you cannot help but be your little one. Come and send the two princesses back!"
The imperial guards and the palace maids immediately invited the two princesses out of the hall.
On the way back, Princess Gaoyang was furious, but when she saw Li Lizhi's calm face, she couldn't help asking: "Sister, are you willing to marry Changsun Chong? Don't you dislike him?"
Li Lizhi sighed lightly and said, "Gaoyang, what the father is saying is the truth. As the princess of the Tang Dynasty, we have enjoyed the glory and wealth that others have never enjoyed before, so we naturally have to bear the consequences. Our princesses have never depended on ourselves, but for the Tang Dynasty. In fact, we should be glad because the father did not let us marry a foreign tribe to marry a relative."
Gao Yang was stunned and his lips moved, but he still said reluctantly: "Sister, my father loves us so much, can you bear to let us marry someone you don't like?"
"Gaoyang, if we marry someone we like, will we be destined to be happy?" Li Lizhi stretched out her hand, touched Gao Yang's bright cheeks, and said earnestly.
......
Time flies, and another four days have passed.
Fang Xuanling had already discussed the day of engagement with Yuchi Gong, and it was a good day after three days. Lin Xiu, as the protagonist, didn't have to worry about anything, and someone would do it for him.
This made Lin Xiu feel that Fang Xuanling wanted to get engaged quickly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
After several days of investigation, Zhou Yunhe has also gained a lot. He has collected more than 500 examples of close relatives, including their names, hometowns, address, children's situation in their families, etc. Each one is real and valid, and can be investigated casually.
After these examples were handed to Lin Xiu, Lin Xiu wrote a report himself, using probability science to compare the probability of getting sick from the offspring of intimate relatives with the probability of getting sick from non-close relatives, and obtained some persuasive evidence to prove the harm of getting married intimate relatives.
Of course, if you want to increase persuasion, you have to continue to expand the investigation and increase the base of the investigation, so that it can be more explanatory.
But, Lin Xiu was not engaged in scientific research, but to convince Li Shimin, and this evidence was enough.
At this time, with the lobbying of Changsun Wuji and Queen Changsun Wugui, Li Shimin was no longer willing to wait any longer and was preparing to establish a candidate for the son-in-law.
In Li Shimin's heart, he still wanted Fang Yiai to be the son-in-law of Princess Gaoyang, so he summoned Fang Xuanling and Fang Yiai.
