Marry Changle in Datang

Chapter 178 Gao Yang, who was almost crushed by reality

Li Shimin chuckled, and quickly dismissed this thought from his mind.

Immediately, he suddenly thought of something, looked at Empress Changsun and said, "Guanyin maidservant, there is one more thing that bothers me now, let alone whether the child Gao Yang can be brought back, the main reason is that in the past when I was It has been announced to the world that Gao Yang will be married to Fang Jun."

"But now, you have also seen that the child Gao Yang eloped like her sister and has disappeared. How should I say this matter? It is impossible to tell the truth to the people of the world, right?"

"But if we don't say it, we won't be able to get anyone to marry Fangfu. This is also a laughable thing."

When Li Shimin said this, he felt restless, because his main purpose of coming was still for this.

The matter of Princess Gao Yang's elopement can be resolved very well, but at worst, Princess Gao Yang is dead, or something happened or contracted some hidden disease.

However, it is different now, because now is the time when Princess Gao Yang is marrying Fang Jun, if these excuses are used at this time, it will inevitably arouse suspicion.

I don't know, I thought Li Shimin was reluctant to marry his daughter.

After hearing Li Shimin's words, Empress Changsun felt a little helpless.

However, Empress Changsun suddenly thought of something, she immediately looked at Li Shimin and said, "How did Your Majesty convince Chong'er in the first place?"

"Elder Sun Chong?" Li Shimin was surprised.

"good."

Empress Changsun nodded with a smile, and continued: "Since Gao Yang is following Li Zhi and running away from marriage and elopement, then Chong'er didn't dare to speak out about it back then, so we can do the same."

When she first learned that Changle escaped marriage, Empress Changsun was stunned on the spot.

Therefore, she didn't know how Li Shimin handled this matter. She only knew that since then, whenever she told Chang Sun Chong about her daughter's beauty, Chang Sun Chong would find excuses to cover it up.

Originally, Empress Changsun was a little curious and planned to find out, but as Qin Wenyuan became famous, the matter was left alone.

At this moment, in Empress Changsun's opinion, since His Majesty told Changsun Chong to shut up obediently, why not do this method again?

However, Li Shimin had a frowning face at this meeting, and said with a light smile: "Maid Guanyin, you don't know, the reason why Changsun Chong kept silent back then was because he fell in love with that maidservant of the Bai family."

"And now, we can't find a maid for Fang Jun, right? In that case, not only people in the world will think that our royal family looks down on the Fang family, but even the Fang family may think that we look down on them. This method won't work, it won't work. "

Li Shimin shook his head straight.

Empress Changsun was taken aback at this time, she didn't expect her nephew to be so picky, and he would fall in love with a maid at the first sight.

But she didn't think too much about it. After all, it's been too long, and it's useless to think about it. It's better to solve the current problem as soon as possible.

After a moment of silence, Empress Changsun sighed and said, "Your Majesty, I have thought about it for a while, but I can't think of a way out. I'm afraid you and I can only go to visit and apologize in person."

Hearing this, Li Shimin also sighed, "I'm afraid this is the only way to go."

"Gao Yang, alas, she has so many advantages in beauty, why not learn from her, but just like her to run away from marriage!"

After finishing speaking, Li Shimin flicked his sleeves and walked away.

Today's him, after learning that Gao Yang escaped from marriage, was not too angry, but rather indifferent.

Li Shimin had just walked out of the queen's bedroom when Wang De at the door caught up with him immediately and said, "Your Majesty, the commander of the imperial guards has just received news that..."

At this point, Wang De paused, seeing that Li Shimin was not too angry, he continued: "It is said that Princess Gaoyang has not been found yet."

Li Shimin heard this, and said calmly: "If you can't find Gao Yang, then let them continue to look for it! If you can't find it, at worst, demote her to a commoner. After all, she escaped marriage according to the way of beauty, so she can't give too much preferential treatment. .”

After Li Shimin said this, the eldest grandson Empress who had just come out to see Li Shimin off was heartbroken. After all, Princess Gaoyang was her raised daughter, how could she not be sad?

Although because of Li Zhi's matter, she knew that Li Shimin's words were just for the occasion, but she would still feel sad all the time.

However, this series of actions of Princess Gao Yang was indeed incorrect, and even hurt the interests of the royal family. It is normal for Li Shimin to make such a decision.

Thinking of this, Empress Changsun comforted Li Shimin, looked at Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, don't be angry. If Gao Yang really wants to live outside the palace, then let her live outside the palace."

Li Shimin nodded lightly after hearing what Empress Changsun said, "Well, let's leave this matter as it is for the time being."

After finishing speaking, he left her bedroom under the watchful eyes of Empress Zhangsun.

On the way, Li Shimin said, "Wang De, I heard that Mr. Wei was attacked by assassins, is there such a thing?"

Wang De clasped his hands and replied: "Your Majesty, there is indeed a fact. Our imperial guards have joined forces with Jingzhaoyi Yamen to investigate the identity of this assassin. The scope is the entire Chang'an City. I believe there will be news in the near future. "

"Ah."

Li Shimin nodded lightly, and continued: "You must thoroughly investigate this matter. If necessary, you can also send my shadow guards. Be sure to catch the mastermind behind the scenes."

Hearing this, Wang De gasped.

Few people knew that Li Shimin was protected by shadow guards, not even shadow guards.

After all, if too many people know about it, it will be difficult to achieve unexpected results.

And now, Li Shimin is about to send the most mysterious ace force around him to track down the assassin.

This……

Wang De deeply felt Li Shimin's concern for this matter, bent down and replied: "No."

"In addition, who repelled this assassin, is it Lord Wei's subordinate? But I have never seen Lord Wei have a guard." Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and asked.

Wang De replied: "Return to Your Majesty, according to what Master Wei told me, it is His Highness Chang Le's husband, Young Master Qin, the assassin he repelled."

It's him!

It's him again! !

Li Shimin's eyes lit up.

Recently, I heard too much news about Qin Wenyuan, and it was all good news. Li Shimin had to admit that he really wanted to see his daughter Changle's husband more and more.

Let's see what kind of monster and monster he is, he is proficient in civil and martial arts, and he is far ahead of the contemporary heroes of the Tang Dynasty.

When Li Shimin thought of this, he shook his head, chuckled lightly, and continued walking forward.

At this moment, because of Qin Wenyuan, he was less and less angry about his daughter Gao Yang running away.

He even...had a faint hope that his daughter Gao Yang would bring back a second "Qin Wenyuan" for him.

…………

Outside of Chang'an City, in an ordinary county called Gao'an County.

At this moment, one day has passed since Princess Gao Yang escaped from the wedding.

Unlike the guards in the palace who were desperately looking for someone, Princess Gaoyang and Monk Bianji are already hiding here, where they will never be found.

At this moment, Princess Gao Yang and Monk Bianji both had sad faces and sighed.

Because when they eloped, they didn't bring too much money with them, and their funds were limited, so they could only temporarily stay in Gao'an County, which is relatively close to Chang'an City.

Fortunately, the soldiers in Chang'an City did not come out to look for them, and they passed the most difficult first day with peace of mind.

Of course, in order to prevent being discovered, they used pseudonyms. Princess Gao Yang's name at this time was Xia He, and Bian Ji's name was Ding Lin.

But now there is a major problem in front of them, because Princess Gaoyang has been pampered since she was a child, and Monk Bianji can't do anything except chanting scriptures and beating wooden fish.

Now they are worried about making a living.

"Dinglin, why don't I pawn the things on me, maybe I can pawn some money."

While speaking, Princess Gao Yang took off the bracelet from her hand, and continued: "I remember, my sister told me that she did the same thing at that time."

Monk Bianji nodded immediately after hearing Princess Gao Yang's words, thinking that this was also a good proposal, after all, no matter what, they really couldn't get rid of it.

Besides, they don't have a place to live now. If they don't think about it, they will probably sleep on the street.

Thinking of this, Monk Bianji picked up Princess Gaoyang's things and went to the pawn shop.

Looking at the leaving Monk Bianji, Princess Gao Yang had mixed feelings in her heart at the moment, she thought that after escaping with her beloved man, she would have a very happy life, but unexpectedly, she was embarrassed by her livelihood.

Life, too realistic, directly hit her head hard.

On the other side, Monk Bianji came to the pawnshop with Princess Gaoyang's belongings. Looking at the pawnshop in front of him, Monk Bianji walked in without saying a word.

"Are you here to pawn something?" the guy in the pawnshop said.

When Monk Bianji heard this, he nodded immediately, and said without hesitation: "That's right, I'm here to pawn things. Let's see how much these things are worth."

After the monk Bianji finished speaking, he immediately gave the things in his hand to the boy in the pawn shop.

Hearing what Monk Bianji said, the little guy immediately took what was in Monk Bianji's hand, and checked it without saying a word.

"These things are of very good quality, and they can be worth tens of taels. If you think it's okay, trade them now."

The little guy looked at the defense machine, looked up and down and said.

After all, no matter what, the person in front of him should look very poor, otherwise he wouldn't be dressed so rough.

And to be honest, it is not an exaggeration for these things to be worth a few hundred taels.

The quality, color and workmanship of these things are all very good.

But when Bianji heard that it was only worth a few dozen taels, he immediately frowned, and said quickly, "A few dozen taels? Little brother, take a closer look. The quality and workmanship of these things are all top-notch. How could they be worth only a few dozen taels?" A few hundred taels?"

The pawnshop clerk immediately became impatient when he heard this, put the things in his hand on the table, and said angrily: "Even if the workmanship of this bracelet is good, it is only worth a few dozen taels. But take it and go to another pawn shop to have a look, I'll just buy it here, you can figure it out."

Bian Ji took back the things, looked at the pawnshop clerk looking at him again, turned and left in embarrassment.

He knew in his heart that the pawnbroker was just looking at him in rough clothes and wasted money, and deliberately blackmailed him, even if he changed to another pawnshop.

But he still didn't give up, and took Princess Gaoyang's jewelry back and forth to several pawnshops. It is conceivable that the ending is the same.

This is something from the royal family. No matter how exquisite the workmanship of the things in the world is, the material is not as good as the material from the royal family. How could it be worth only a few dozen taels.

It's just that the current life is forced, there is no way, Bian Ji finally went back with dozens of taels of silver.

It was already dark when we returned.

The afterglow of the setting sun is splashing, golden and beautiful as before.

"Why did you come back at this time? But what trouble did you encounter?"

Seeing Bian Ji's lonely figure from a distance, Princess Gao Yang hurriedly went up to meet him and asked.

Bian Ji sighed, seeing Gao Yang's original brocade clothes turned into sackcloth clothes, he suddenly said: "Xia He, follow me, it's hard for you."

Princess Gao Yang was taken aback for a moment, but then she smiled softly, took Bian Ji's hand and said affectionately: "Don't say that, as long as I can be with you, no matter how hard or tiring I am, I am willing."

Looking at the things bought by the braiding machine, she said again: "By the way, how much money did you pawn today?"

Bian Ji took out the money bag, weighed it and said: "I went to several pawnshops, all of which are worth the 50 taels of silver. I bought some things for the family, and that's all I have left."

Gao Yang reached out to take it and looked at it, sighed, with a slightly bitter smile on his lips, he pulled the braider and went back to the house.

The slanted shadows of the two were reflected in the setting sun, temporarily as beautiful as the afterglow of the setting sun.

At night, every house is lit with lights.

One of them is a pampered princess, and the other is a monk in the temple who can only chant sutras and Buddha. Although the braider used the pawn money to buy oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and vegetables, as well as pay for the house.

But cooking is also considered a technical job for them.

In order to prevent Princess Gaoyang from burning down the house they bought back with all their money, the two of them only ate some vegetable porridge made by braiding machines at night.

However, for Princess Gaoyang who grew up eating delicacies from mountains and seas, this plain porridge was really hard for her to swallow.

Coupled with the lack of food during this day's escape, and the pressure of her current life, her temper that had been suppressed broke out when she swallowed the first mouthful of vegetarian porridge.

"Dinglin, do you cook anything else? At least stir fry."

Gao Yang frowned and said as if he didn't want to eat.

Bian Ji heard that his hands paused, his mouth was pursed, and he was holding the bowl tightly with both hands. After a long time, he said, "Let's just settle down for today. Tomorrow I'll go and look for some lucrative jobs. When the livelihood can be maintained , the day will be fine.”
