Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 567 All parties are preparing [thanks to 2022016027 for the reward]

Jiangling government office.

As a former anti-king and a local emperor who separatist from one side, Duke Xiao Xian of Jiangling has lived in Chang'an for the past two years, both satisfied and dissatisfied.

Satisfaction means that Emperor Tang didn't kill him, but treated him with good food and drink. Apart from a certain degree of restriction on personal freedom, there is really nothing wrong with it.

Dissatisfaction refers to his daughter Xiao Yuexian.Because of his relationship, few dignitaries in Chang'an are willing to marry his daughter.

There is no way, his identity is too sensitive, Chang'an courtiers dare not marry him, so as not to offend the emperor.

A rebel is a rebel after all, and it is branded on his body, and he can't get rid of it even if he tries to get rid of it.

As her daughter got older, Xiao Mian panicked a little.He only had this one daughter, if it was because he couldn't get married, he would really feel sorry for his daughter.What's more, since the hegemony disappeared, he only hoped that his family would be safe and happy.

This daughter who has been with him since childhood has become his only heart disease.

But today, this heart disease will disappear.

Because Xiangguo Chen Shuda came to him.

patio.

Xiao Xian and Chen Shuda talked around the stove.The two of them, although one is from the Xiaoliang royal family and the other is from the Nanchen royal family, there is no longer any hostile relationship between them.Because, whether it is Xiao Liang or Nan Chen, it has become history.

The two of them, now have a common identity.

Southerners!
"Xiao Gong, you may not be very clear about the current situation of my southerners in the court. I can only tell you in four words, it is difficult."

Xiao Mian couldn't help being surprised when he used four difficult words in a row.

"so tough?"

"It's very difficult." Chen Shuda sighed: "Take Zhengshitang as an example, Yang Gongren, Wen Yanbo, Du Ruhui, Xue Shou, and even Li Shuliang, none of them are from the north, and which one is not from a northern family.

Xiao Gong, if things go on like this for a long time, it will be very difficult for us southerners to occupy a place in the imperial court. "

Xiao Xian frowned and said: "My view is that your majesty is a wise king, how could you give up on the south. Sooner or later, your majesty will lead the southern family into the court to balance the northern family. Chen Xiang, are you worrying too much?"

"I'm planning for a rainy day." Chen Shuda sighed, "If we don't do some things now, there will be no foundation in the future, so how can we accomplish them overnight. Xiao Gong, for the sake of the southern scholars, this time, I have to bother you gone."

"Me?" Xiao Mian smiled wryly, "I can become a rich man now because of His Majesty's mercy. How can I be so capable?"

"Duke Xiao has heard that His Majesty is going to be drafted." Chen Shuda coughed lightly to remind him.

Xiao Mi nodded, "I heard, why, don't tell me... wait, what do you mean?"

He suddenly thought of something and stared at Chen Shuda.

"That's right." Chen Shuda affirmed his guess, and said, "I heard that Duke Xiao has a daughter who is as beautiful as a flower and has a graceful figure. If she can enter the palace to accompany His Majesty, it will not only make Duke Xiao no longer have to worry about death, but also make him Opportunities are increasing for me from the south!"

He was not afraid that Xiao Mian would not agree, because he knew very well that Xiao Mian was still worried that His Majesty would make trouble for him one day and drag him out to behead him.If Xiao's daughter could be married to the emperor, then Xiao Xian would become the emperor's father-in-law. At that time, Xiao Xian would no longer have to worry about being suspected by the emperor.

At the same time, there is a concubine from a southern family in the harem, which can also give more expectations to officials from the central and southern DPRK.

In the pre-Sui period, Emperor Sui Yang married Xiao's daughter, perhaps without Yang Jian's consideration of bridging the rift between the North and the South.

Xiao Xian is also a smart person, and he quickly understood the key points.

"It's okay, but I'm worried that I might lose the election."

Chen Shuda chuckled, stroked his beard and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Xiao, with me here, no one dares to disrespect me."

For the future of the Southern Department, this time he risked his life to send Xiao's daughter to the harem.

Xiao Xian bowed his hands solemnly, "If this happens, Xiao Xian will remember Chen Xiang's kindness forever."

Yongning Hall.

The imperial concubine, Wei Gui, is very stately, sitting upright at the head seat.

A dozen or so steps away, sitting on his knees was the minister of the Ministry of Rites, Wei Siqi, Duke Xun.

"The matter of Yongning, let's stop here. After thinking about it, I still feel that Yongning is young, and we will talk about it in two years." Wei Gui's voice was not loud, but his tone was unquestionable.

Wei Siqi really wanted to ask why, but he didn't dare.

There is no way, because of his own lack of ability, he belongs to the relatively poor group of talents in the Shence Mansion where there are many talents.

Although he is the servant of the Ministry of Rites, he has no authority. He can only clock in and go to get off work every day, living like a salted fish.

Looking at his former colleagues, those who are capable are either accumulating qualifications in the local area, or they have already entered the center as ministers.

At first glance, he is not the worst mess, but he must be the most ordinary one.

Wei Siqi was also suffering in his heart, he was under too much competition pressure!

When I was in Shence Mansion before, there were several high-IQ bosses on top of me.Now that His Majesty is enthroned, the court is full of old foxes, how can he fight.

If it weren't for his background in Qiandi, plus a concubine's cousin, whether he could gain a foothold in the Ministry of Rites is another matter.

Don't look at him as a first-class duke now, but does Tang Dynasty lack a duke?
He is just an ordinary prince.

Therefore, Wei Siqi did not dare to show any disrespect to Concubine Wei Gui.

"Yes, after I go back, I will reject my eldest brother and sister-in-law in my name."

Wei Gui nodded and said, "I'm tired of you."

As a smart woman, after she learned from the Queen that His Majesty did not want to marry off her daughter now, she immediately understood that His Majesty was actually dissatisfied with her nephew.So, she sensibly refused in her own name.

And Wei Siqi is also very sensible, taking the blame for her.

Seeing that his complexion was not good, Wei Yu taught him a lesson: "Don't just remember the marriage, if you don't have the foundation of the world, it's useless to marry anyone."

"Yes." Wei Siqi nodded.

"What else?"

Wei Siqi recalled Wei Gui's previous words, gritted his teeth and said, "Madam, I want to send Nizi to participate in this draft."

Wei Gui's plump chest rose and fell slightly, and his jade hands were quietly clenched.

What did she just say?

What a .
"Nizi, is she willing?" Wei Gui suppressed his anger and asked indifferently.

Wei Siqi said: "I asked Nizi what she meant in private, and she seems to have a good impression of His Majesty."

Hearing this, Wei Gui remembered some things before His Majesty took the throne.

It seems that His Majesty is interested in his cousins.

Ugh.

Thinking of this, Wei Gui's head hurts a little.

This man is indeed the case.

"In that case, you can do it."

"Thank you, Madam, for agreeing!" Wei Siqi saluted.

As long as he can send his son into the palace, then in the harem, Webster will have two daughters to accompany His Majesty, and Webster's will be promoted to a higher level.

After Wei Siqi left, Princess Yongning Li Shun'er came out from behind the screen.

"Aniang, does my daughter not need to marry anymore?" She leaned against her mother and asked tenderly.

Wei Gui glanced at her, "You seem very happy?"

"Of course my daughter is happy. I don't want to marry, I just want to be with my mother."

Wei Gui sighed, "Silly boy, you must find Mr. Ruyi to marry as soon as possible, otherwise, if you procrastinate, I'm afraid the husband your father will choose for you in the future will not be as good as you want."

Li Shun'er blinked, not understanding Wei Gui's words.

Wei Gui said: "You have to remember that you are the daughter of His Majesty, the princess of the Tang Dynasty. In the future, you may marry the son of a noble, or you may marry the lord of a small country."

Hearing the second half of the sentence, Yongning stopped acting like a baby, and she stopped laughing.
