Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 192 Li Yuan's Romance

"Father, who is the old lady of the Dugu family? Is it Dugumou's grandmother? I haven't heard this kid say that." Li Chengqian asked curiously.

Can you not be surprised?Who in the civil and military dynasties of the Manchu Dynasty didn't know that the emperor was going to discuss Xiao Yu's matter with the important ministers today, so it was self-evident that Mrs. Dugu came today.

But it made Li Chengqian feel even more strange, how could this old lady enter Da'an Palace without knowing the emperor, it was too abnormal.

He didn't want to answer Li Chengqian's words at first, but he couldn't hide it from him after so many days. After sighing, he said slowly: "This old lady of Dugu's family is the niece of Empress Yuanzhen, and she has assisted her all her life. Dugu's several generations of patriarchs are respected as ancestors by the Dugu family because they have never been married."

"You also know that the Emperor took the title of Tang Guogong at the age of seven, and it is common to go in and out of the court, so this lady Dugu can be regarded as the chief acquaintance."

Haha, what happened? Doesn't this mean that the old lady of Dugu's family is Li Yuan's first love? What's the matter? As for being so hesitant.

Seeing the clear look on Li Chengqian's face, Li Shimin angrily kicked him hard as punishment.This bastard dared to laugh at his grandfather if he didn't want to hit him, he really deserved a fight.

And Li Chengqian, who was sitting at the bottom, was rubbing his calf while looking at the family tree.Old Li Yuan's queen, Dou's, was the daughter of Princess Xiangyang, the elder sister of Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the great general, Dou Yi of Shangzhu Kingdom. Her family status was no worse than that of Dugu's family in Bazhu Kingdom at that time.

I heard that in order to marry Empress Taimu, Lao Li also participated in a special competition to select a son-in-law.It turned out that Dou Yi thought that his daughter was not an idler, so he thought of a way when choosing a good son-in-law.

Someone drew two peacocks on the door screen, and whoever hits a peacock's eye with two arrows will be recruited as a son-in-law.

Dozens of people in the front missed the shot, but when they came to Li Yuan, both arrows hit them. Dou Yi, who was overjoyed, married his daughter to Li Yuan, which is why Queping was selected. .
"I have seen my father." Since the defeat of Xieli, Li Shimin has not seen Li Yuan very often.The reason is very simple, his achievements today have surpassed the father sitting on it.And he also proved with practical actions that he is definitely better than Jiancheng as an emperor.

Well, when Li Yuan saw the emperor and his father saluting below, he immediately stroked his hands, signaling them to excuse themselves and find a place to do it by themselves.

But after the two of them sat down, the old woman sitting opposite said with a joke: "Your Majesty, look, who would have thought that the child who was arguing with his concubine for sweets back then has now become a wise and mighty man?" Your Majesty the Emperor, Sister Dou's spirit in heaven can also comfort her."

"Madame Dugu is absurdly praised, I'm still far behind..." Sure enough, everyone is willing to listen to such good words, even Li Shimin's emperor is no exception.

There was even a hint of shyness and reminiscence of the past in the words, and Li Chengqian, who was standing aside, felt a chill.At this moment, Li Chengqian really wanted to step forward and ask his father, whether he should touch his head or not.

"Emperor, I've heard what Dugu said about Xiao Yu. In my opinion, since he can't serve you, it's better to let him go home for the elderly based on his past achievements. It's also a way to give my old man a face." After all, he and I are still cousins."

Old Li Yuan's words were not very harsh, the pleading in the words made it very difficult for Old Li to speak.That's right, it's really shameful for me to speak soft words in front of my son. If it wasn't for my old lover, based on Li Chengqian's understanding of Li Yuan, the old man would never summon their father and son.

"Well, father, the matter of Xiao Yu is still under discussion, and the ministers are all talking about it. Let's take Wei Zheng as an example. He knelt in the Chengqing Hall with the Tang law in his hand and begged to kill Xiao Yu. I am also very embarrassed." Although when he was in Chengqing Palace, Li Shimin planned to let Xiao Yu go.

But the so-called one moment and another moment, how can the Dugu family beg for God's grace so cheaply.

We must know that the Dugu family, a century-old martial arts family, not only has its roots intertwined in both the military and government, but also occupies a large area of ​​land in the local area, and its financial resources are very strong.

It’s okay if you want to keep Xiao Yu, but you have to express it no matter what. Fortunately, Wei Zheng was pushed out to top the tank.

"Why, don't I even have the right to intercede with others now?", Seeing that his son was so shameless and let himself lose face with his old lover, at this time, old Li Yuan's face was so dark that he couldn't wring out water coming.

Seeing that the father and son were about to quarrel, Mrs. Dugu stood up in a timely manner: "The emperor calms down, your majesty also has his difficulties.

This matter is also due to Shiwen being too reckless, how could he unite so many officials to impeach the prince? "

Hmph, seeing Mrs. Dugu coming out to speak, Li Yuan snorted coldly and turned his head aside.

"Your Majesty, people who are about to enter the earth like the old woman shouldn't come to the palace to cause trouble for you. But my niece came to the house every day to cry, and the old woman really couldn't bear it, so she had the audacity to enter the palace to ask for an audience. Your Majesty, if the two His Majesties are hurt because of this, then the old lady will die unforgivably."

After finishing speaking, the old woman leaned on a golden crutch and bowed to Li Shimin to express her apology.This made Li Shimin unable to sit still, stood up and waved his hands again and again, signaling the old lady not to be polite.

This old man was not only a childhood sweetheart with the Supreme Emperor, but also a close friend of his mother's boudoir. If he accepted this gift from her, it would be disrespectful to Empress Taimu.

"Your Majesty, this time Xiao Yu was so disrespectful to the royal family. The old woman thought it was time to punish him, but for the sake of his years of hard work, she spared his life. Once he was deposed as an official, the Lanling Xiao family and the Dugu family They are all willing to take out some land and submit it to the imperial court as an apology to you for returning the Crown Prince, what do you think?"

Just when Mrs. Dugu finished speaking, Li Chengqian couldn't help feeling a pain in his leg.Looking up at his father who was blinking at him, it turned out that Li Shimin pinched him while he was rubbing his forehead and pretending to be in thought.

"Father, although what Xiang Wei and the others said is reasonable, the Emperor and Mrs. Dugu are both elders, and they cannot lose face.

Yierchen thought it was better to accept Mrs. Dugu's invitation, Xiao Gong has been upright all his life, this time he was also confused for a while, but it is understandable. "

After his son finished speaking, Li Shimin hesitated for a moment and slapped his thigh hard, as if he had made up his mind: "Father and Aunt Dugu are my close relatives, even if I offend the princes of the Manchu Dynasty, I will not hesitate to do so." .”

"The old woman will thank His Majesty on behalf of Xiao Yu and Xiao Shi."

"Hehe. Aunt Dugu is being polite. I still have government affairs to attend to so I won't accompany you. You and your father should do more and talk more." After saying this, he bowed to Li Yuan and took Li Chengqian back out.

Looking at the current state of the emperor, Li Chengqian couldn't help but feel a little contempt in his heart, and when he didn't say the conditions, he opened his mouth about Madam and kept his mouth shut about His Majesty.It's my aunt who opened her mouth and shut her mouth after opening the condition. Hey, it seems that the distance between myself and my father is still very far.

"Taishanghuang, your grandson is not simple. He cooperates perfectly with Erlang. According to Mouer, this kid is also a figure who stands out on the battlefield. It is not a problem for the Li family to prosper for a hundred years."

"The wrist is good, but the ears are soft like his father's. Now that the East Palace also lives in an eldest grandson, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse."

Seeing the dissatisfied Li Yuan, Mrs. Dugu smiled immediately: "What's the matter? Since ancient times, heroes have loved beauties. You were different back then. The old woman also has two granddaughters, who can also enter the palace to serve the prince. .”
