When the emperor opened his golden mouth, everyone was surprised, including Princess Gaoyang. Why did he suddenly mention the marriage between Princess Gaoyang and Qin mubai?
Li Shimin seemed not interested in explaining anything, but continued: "it's extraordinary for the emperor to marry a daughter. You should marry first, for a period of one year, and then get married. After the funeral of king Qi, Ke'er, you will be in charge of their engagement ceremony. "
Li Ke was surprised. Without thinking, he arched his hand and said, "my father, I dare not take orders!"
"What did you say?" Li Shimin was also surprised and looked at him strangely.
Qin mubai and Princess Gaoyang were also quite surprised and couldn't understand.
"My son Just lost his wife, rather ominous. Bad will this body of ominous gas, rushed the emperor's younger sister and son-in-law's joy. Please think twice and choose someone else to preside over the ceremony. " Li Ke bowed his hand to the road.
"Third brother, how can you Talk like this Princess Gaoyang exclaimed in surprise and anger.
"Gao Yang, don't make a noise. Your third brother has a reason to worry. " Li Shimin nodded gently, "well, I'll think about it again and make another choice."
Qin mubai did not look askance and did not say a word. He thought, li ke this is deliberately to find an excuse to evade, the purpose is to keep away from him. In fact, Qin mubai saw it when he was playing chess just now. After returning to Beijing this time, Li Ke was very cautious. In fact, his level of chess is very clear. That's definitely not under Li Shimin. When he just ate the horse, he hesitated again and again. He must have seen that it was the ambush and trap set by Li Shimin, but he still ate it "decisively". As a result, he lost the game gracefully.
Li Ke began to hide his talents.
Only princess Gaoyang doesn't know why. Now she is still a little angry and stares at Li Ke from time to time. But for the presence of the emperor. I'm afraid that Li Ke has long been accused.
At this time, Li Shimin said: "in recent days, there are many things in the world. From Xiangzhou to Dengzhou, some of the things Li you found out shocked the whole world and made the government and the public uneasy. However, it's all in the past. There's no need to mention it in the future, and you don't need to explain anything in front of me. "
Li Ke immediately fell down in tears of gratitude: "my father's heart is like a mirror, and my children admire him."
"Get up!" Li Shimin said faintly, "those who are in the Qing Dynasty are in the Qing Dynasty. the fool thinks he knows all. It's not that my heart is like a mirror, but that things are not self-evident, and there is law in the world. "
"Thank you, father!" Li Ke is still a solemn kowtow a few times, just stood up respectfully, a look of fear.
"Ke'er, since you have come to Chang'an, you don't have to rush back to Xiangzhou." Li Shimin said suddenly.
Li Ke was shocked, but he didn't dare to speak. He was probably thinking: don't you trust me? How can you strike my official again?
"Don't get me wrong, it is." Li Shimin said, "after the Dengzhou incident, the court officials had many admonitions, saying that the hereditary governor system had many disadvantages. The Dengzhou rebellion was caused by the malpractice of the hereditary assassin system. Therefore, all the ministers strongly admonished me to abolish the hereditary censor system. I think about it again and again, and I think they have a point. They are going to abolish the new hereditary system of censors at the end of the year, and transfer all the princes and princes who have been transferred to Chang'an from afar. They will only be granted the post of school inspector, and they will never go to the capital to be officials from afar. "
"My father is wise, and my children's ministers should obey them." Li Ke quickly arched his hand.
Li Shimin nodded and sighed. He turned to look at Princess Gaoyang and said in a low voice, "king Qi has come to this day. I really have an unshirkable responsibility. In the future, I will try my best to fulfill the responsibility of being a father and accompany and supervise you well. After that, you all stay with me. Don't go anywhere! "
"Yes, father..." Both Li Ke and Princess Gaoyang answered softly.
Qin mubai's heart was beating a drum: at the beginning, Li Shimin wanted to implement the hereditary censor system. His intention was to disintegrate and divide the party power in the court, so as to control the current situation and prepare for the establishment of the crown prince. As a matter of fact, politicians like Li Shimin, of course, know that the hereditary censor system is no different from the enfeoffment system. At that time, he was not an expedient measure; now the incident of Li you forced him to give up the expedient measure ahead of time - but does that mean that in Li Shimin's mind, the choice of the crown prince has been decided? In other words, he has been able to fully control the two forces above the court hall?
As an emperor, Li Shimin is a politician in essence. No matter what he does, even when he deals with family affairs, there are traces of statesmanship everywhere.
"Linger." Li Shimin gave a light call, stopped for a moment, and said, "if you have time, please accompany your mother."
"Well..." Princess Gaoyang bit her lips and nodded gently. There are some crystal tears in my eyes.
"Well, it's all right. You can step back!" Li Shimin waved his hand with a smile. Smile, but a few tired.
Three people bid farewell to leave. Out of the imperial study, Li Ke took a deep look at Qin mubai. Without saying a word, he walked away."Hello, third brother, third brother!..." Third brother, how can you do that! " Gaoyang Princess even called a few times, Li Ke did not stop the meaning, which makes her a little angry.
"Forget it, linger." Qin mubai advised her with a smile and said, "your third brother I don't seem to pay much attention to us
"Why? Aren't we always the best? " Princess Gaoyang asked in anger and bewilderment.
Qin mubai sighed and shook his head: "there are no eternal friends or enemies in this officialdom. I'm afraid I did something wrong and offended him. "
"What's the matter?" Princess Gaoyang wants to break the casserole and ask to the end.
Qin mubai shook his head in embarrassment: "forget it, I still don't say it. Let's go and see your mother. "
"No, you must say it!" Gaoyang Princess stubborn block in front of Qin mubai, frowning. He won't let go.
Qin mubai said with a bitter smile: "ling'er, don't you never care about these things?"
"That was before. Now I have to take care of it. Have you forgotten our agreement that we no longer have secrets? " "What's more, it has something to do with the third brother! For such a long time, how well we get along with each other! How do you say it's a turn over? I said, just three years ago, how can we suddenly turn down the job of hosting the engagement ceremony for us? It turned out that there was a conflict with you? "
Qin mubai nodded helplessly: "you have to know, I will tell you. But you have to promise that no one else will know? "
"Well, well." Princess Gaoyang nodded and said eagerly, "speak quickly!"
"In fact, it's like this..." Qin mubai began to be blind, and he said -
"at the beginning, his majesty ordered him to go to Xiangzhou, called him back to Beijing, and ordered me to hold still and protect the territory and the people. But at that time, I disobeyed the imperial edict and fought with the king of Wu in public. Actually, it doesn't matter. The key is that later, I also used my personal relationship with several generals of his family to transfer some of his personal soldiers to my hands to help me fight. At that time, I thought he had left Xiangzhou, but I didn't think he had! Let him know about this, of course, he is not happy - you think, his men, actually obey my orders, can he feel happy? What's more, he was annoyed by my resistance to the order. For one thing, it is certain that he was scolded by his majesty, because he did not help Chu suiliang restrain me, which at least resulted in dereliction of duty. For another thing He is a prince. He can't restrain me. Can his majesty not scold him for incompetence? The generals and soldiers in Xiangzhou only listen to me. Can he not be angry? So... "
"Hum, third brother is too careful!" Princess Gaoyang immediately exclaimed angrily, "he is jealous of the virtuous and the capable!"
"No, I can't say that." Qin mubai is busy. "In fact, I have gone too far. I didn't think much of the dignity and face of the prince. In Xiangzhou, I also completely overshadowed his reputation and fame. He also has his self-respect and the face of the prince. If I deal with people in this way, it would be hard for anyone to feel unhappy. "
"Ah, I really don't understand your men's business!" Princess Gaoyang frowned and said, "what should I do. Is it difficult for you to have nothing to do with the third brother since this time? "
"I don't know." Qin mubai turned his lips innocently. "He made such a refusal directly in front of the emperor. Depending on the situation, I'm afraid he meant to break up with me. Since he doesn't pay any attention to me, can't I go to the hot face and stick his cold ass? "
"Ah!..." Princess Gaoyang sighed again, shook her head, and frowned.
Two people and walk and chat, slowly out of the Penglai hall. On both sides of the palace, there are a number of women, such as Jiashi and eunuch palace. All these people, without exception, are Li Shimin's confidants. When Qin mubai said these words. He not only pretended to be careful, but also made his voice a little louder. It is estimated that all the guards around here are listening. It won't be long before it can be introduced into Li Shimin's ears.
Moreover, Qin mubai knew Princess Gaoyang too well. She is an acute person. When she sees something unpleasant, she can't hide it in her heart. She will find a way to solve it. Qin mubai and Li Ke are at odds. It must be the last thing she would like to see.
According to her temperament, what would she do? ——There is no doubt that, first of all, she will go to Li Ke to persuade him to "reconcile" with Qin mubai; then, this "dishonest" guy will certainly tell his father these words, in order to clarify "she and Qin mubai" in front of Li Shimin. There is no contradiction with Li Ke.
Li Shimin is most worried about the antagonism between her sons and daughters. After Li you's death, Princess Gaoyang must have a shadow in her heart. Of course, she doesn't want to be seen by her father. She and Qin mubai are at odds with Li Ke.
In this way, the goal is achieved.
If there is no contradiction between Qin mubai and Li Ke, it will be "reconciled" by Princess Gaoyang.
"It's a kind of use of goodwill, not deception I'm sorry. Linger! No one can say these words, but Li Ke and I have a good idea of them. " Qin mubai said in his heart that he felt guilty.After all, good or bad, he did "use" Gao Yang.
I can't help it. Officialdom and battlefield, let alone such an extraordinary period, we have to use some extraordinary means As long as it doesn't hurt anyone. Just do it.
"Well, don't worry about these things." Qin mubai took Princess Gaoyang's hand and looked at her tenderly, "ling'er, we are finally going to be together."
"Well..." Finally, Princess Gaoyang showed her face with a smile and looked at Qin mubai. Her eyes sparkled with excitement and sadness. She said softly, "it's just the current situation. I really don't know whether to be sad or happy. If only my brother and uncle were still alive as before, and could share the joy with us. "
"The dead are gone. I'm sorry. We should cherish those who are alive. " Qin mubai said, "go, let's go and tell the empress of Yinde."
"Good! My mother will be happy Well, I don't know. She should be happy at this time. Or should I be sad! "
"Don't think about it. Let's go!"
They came to Dajiao temple, but the audience Taoist said that Yinde princess had just left the temple and went to the Tianwang temple in the North Garden of Daming Palace.
"Oh, no! My mother is going to lose her hair. Stop it Princess Gaoyang exclaimed.
Qin mubai's heart was also tight. He couldn't care more, so he and Princess Gaoyang ran together in the palace. It's a long way from dajiaoguan to the king's temple. Qin mubai pulled down a ranger of the Imperial Guard and rode up with Princess Gaoyang. He rode and whipped his horse.
The soldiers of the imperial army were all silly, but they didn't dare to fart.
In a hurry, I arrived at Huguo Tianwang temple, which is located in the northwest corner of Daming Palace, the Royal Buddhist temple in the palace. The Li family worships Taoism, but they don't exclude Buddhism. Many people in the palace believe in Buddhism, and the incense of Tianwang temple is also prosperous. The temple is full of monks. Of course, there are no nuns.
At this time, Yinde imperial concubine had already untied her snow covered white hair and spread it behind her head. She knelt down in front of the Buddha's golden body and put her hands together. A group of monks gathered around her to chant Sanskrit. The abbot, holding a razor, repeatedly asked the Yinde imperial concubine to think clearly. However, the Yinde imperial concubine's attitude was very firm, and she must become a monk.
The abbot sighed twice. Take it up and prepare to shave her hair.
Just at this time, Princess Gaoyang yelled and broke in: "stop it --"
everyone was surprised, and the Abbot's hand also stopped, and Yinde Princess turned her head in surprise: "ling'er?"
"Mother, you can't become a monk!" Princess Gaoyang rushed forward, hugged Yinde and glared at the monks: "step back. You all step back! If you touch my mother's hair, I'll tear down your temple! "
All the monks were surprised, and they slowly withdrew with a bitter smile.
"Ling'er, don't be rude to the eminent monk." Princess Gaoyang said angrily, "I have made up my mind. You don't have to persuade me any more."
"Mother, I forbid you to become a monk!" Gaoyang Princess obstinately shouts, eyes a turn, again. "Your father will not allow you to become a monk!"
"He?" "Yin de imperial concubine sneers," he is long for me to walk far away, out of sight, out of mind. Can you hear him say something to me? "
"Yes, yes!" Princess Gaoyang was so quick that she blurted out, "he just called me and mubai to Penglai hall and promised our marriage! Mother, mother! Mubai and I are about to get married. How can he have a mother-in-law who is a nun? ——In fact, my father did this on purpose to keep you from becoming a monk, right? Otherwise, how could he suddenly promise our marriage at such a time? Parents are in charge of marriage. When I get married, I need you to comb my hair and send me a dowry! Isn't that my father's idea? "
Qin mubai came in at this time, sighing and laughing in his heart. Gao Yang's skillful mouth really gave birth to flowers. But there is something in what she said. Now Li you's funeral is being held, but he made an engagement on his own initiative. It's really possible that he also wanted to keep Yinde concubine and persuade her not to become a monk.
Regardless of the couple's feelings, Yinde imperial concubine is one of the four imperial concubines, ranking second only to the queen in the harem. If she's out of the house, where can Li Shimin put his face?
Yinde imperial concubine was silent for a moment, without words.
Princess Gaoyang shook her elbow and begged in a low voice. She kept winking at Qin mubai and motioned him to help.
Qin mubai came over and squatted down. She said: "empress de Fei, even if she wants to practice Buddhism from the Buddha, she doesn't have to become a monk Don't you just practice with your hair and meditate on Buddhism every day? Buddha said that there is no tree in Bodhi, and the mirror is not a platform. There is nothing in Bodhi, so where is it like dust. In fact, all karma is in the heart of the people. I don't know if I'll lose my hair. In fact, what's the difference? Why stick to one form and make it difficult for the emperor and Princess Gaoyang to be human? His Highness the king of Qi has a spirit in heaven, and certainly does not want his mother to become a bald nun? "
"Puchi..." Yin de imperial concubine was amused unexpectedly, wry smile.
She shook her head and sighed: "I am so old that I can't beat you. Well, I will not be a monk for the time being. But he has to promise me a condition that I can go out of the palace and visit you'er in Famen Temple at any time! ""Yes, yes, I promise you!" Princess Gaoyang nodded excitedly.
"You child, do you dare to make an order for your father?"
"Hey, hey! I have a way to persuade my father! Mother, don't you forget that your daughter, I, is the one who can deal with him the most at the end of the day
Qin mubai could not help laughing: This Gao Yang is so talented!
