Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 923
After the banquet in the Yanying Hall, the royal family held another royal family banquet in Yong'an Hall that night, called by the Supreme Emperor.

This time, everyone in the royal family was present.

The Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager sat there, looking at the neat and tidy family, smiling very happily.

Luo Cheng has six brothers, five sisters, and then a group of daughters-in-law and son-in-law, and on both sides are the younger generation's grandchildren and grandchildren. There are more than 100 people in one room.

A large group of children is even more lively and lively.

Everyone is very happy, but Siye has been depressed.

Today, for everyone, is a day of family reunion, but only heirs are alone.

Supreme Emperor Luo Gui came over and patted the third son on the shoulder, "The past is over, we have to look forward. Didn't your brother choose four women from the Yang family and the Li family for you?"

In order to comfort the inheritance of his wife and daughter, who was killed by Li Yuan, Luo Cheng previously made a decree to select two unmarried women from the Sui Yang clan, and also selected two daughters of Li Yuan to give the inheritance to the inheritance. concubine.

It's just that after being sent over, Siye never touched it.

"Are you dissatisfied with the daughters of the Yang and Li families? Father will choose another big and famous family for you. Do you want the nobles of Guanlong, or the nobles of Shandong? Or the Chinese of Jiangnan, with five surnames and seven clans?"

Holding a glass of wine, Siye shook his head.

"I'm not in the mood now."

His relationship with the princess is still good. Although he later chose to follow his brother to rebel against his father-in-law, his wife did not break up with him because of this. It's just who would have expected that such a good wife and such a lovely pair of children would be so beautiful. It was brutally murdered by Li Yuan.

Luo Cheng came over with a wine glass.

"Siye, we also know how you feel, but it's been so long, you can't always be single, you have to remarry, and you have to have children. Cui Mingan, the second wife of the Boling Cui family, is now the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Minister, he has a woman of the right age, twenty-eight years old, I heard that she looks dignified, and she is well educated, she is a good match, I will be your matchmaker tomorrow, and propose marriage to Cui Mingan for you."

Siye shook his head.

"I'm not in the mood now."

As a result, the father slapped his son on the back of the head, "What nonsense, I know you have a deep relationship with Mrs. Yang, but you should also keep this relationship in your heart, instead of dying all day long, life is not enough Did you know that there are three types of unfilial piety, the greatest of which is having no offspring?"

Siye was very helpless, being forced by his father and brother, he had no choice but to nod.

As a result, the old man immediately said again, "I have seen those girls from the Yang family and the Li family. They are all pretty good. You can't waste it. Consummate the house earlier and give birth to more fat and big boys."

Luo Cheng smiled and said, "Yes, I have prepared eight hundred miles for you to seal the country, so why don't you have more sons."

"Look at the fourth child, there are already more than a dozen sons."

Luo Gui said, and then said to Luo Cheng, "Emperor, you have to work harder, don't think about state affairs and world affairs all day long, and sometimes pay more attention to your harem, think about family affairs, and have more children. Our royal family is The population is thin, my generation has only three brothers, and your generation has only seven brothers."

According to Luo Gui's words, as the emperor, Luo Cheng had to give birth to thirty or fifty sons to be enough.

Luo Cheng stared at his father, "Aye, I think you are still quite young. In the past two years, you feel younger and younger. You can see that the hair is all black and the skin is bright. Why don't you give it to your son again?" Find some beauties, and you will work harder to spread more branches and leaves for our royal family?"

Dad laughed a little.

In the past, life was hard and people were getting old quickly, so I didn't have time to think about other things all day long.Now, life is really better, and I am free. Sometimes, I do have some small thoughts.

It's just that the old man feels ashamed of his old wife for thinking this way. After all, the Qin family has been with him all his life, bearing children for him, and sharing weal and woe with him.

"Aniang should be able to understand." Luo Cheng said with a smile.

Taking concubines and marrying young children is a very normal thing these days.

"Forget it, forget it, at your age, half of your body will be buried in the ground, so you won't let people poke your back." The old man waved his hand.

"Xu Shiji came back from Daifang and brought back [-] Goguryeo women, and Baekje and Silla, each sent [-] beauties selected by the people. I didn't plan to accept them, but the journey was thousands of miles, and it would be inconvenient to return them. , so I plan to share the rewards with the kings and heroes, just to honor the Supreme Emperor, how about ten women from Baekje, Goguryeo and Silla for each of you?"

Dad was a little moved, but he still shook his hand.

"No, no, no."

"But it's too much? If it's too much, then we should honor both dad and dad."

The old man was still hesitating, but it turned out that the queen mother had come over, "Since it is the emperor's filial piety, you can just accept it. I am not jealous, I am not Fang Xuanling's wife."

Jealousy is still a new word, this time Xu Shiji brought back three hundred peninsula beauties, the emperor distributed them to the princes and ministers, and Fang Xuanling, as the prime minister, got one as well.As a result, Fang Xuanling said he did not dare to accept it, and asked him why, he said that his wife would definitely refuse.

So Luo Cheng laughed and said that he was afraid of his wife, and then sent someone to send the three women to the house, and at the same time sent a decree.

If Mrs. Lu refused to allow Fang Xuanling to accept the three concubines, he would give her a pot of poisoned wine.

As a result, Fan Yang Lu, who was born in five surnames and seven families, was so staunch that he even picked up the imperial gifted poisonous wine and drank it.

But when she finished drinking, she found that the poisoned wine was very sour. It turned out to be a pot of vinegar, not real poisoned wine.

In this way, the story of jealousy spread throughout Luoyang, and everyone knew it.

Later, it was Luo Cheng's Empress Shan who went to Fangfu to comfort Lu Shi for a long time before she reluctantly agreed to accept these three barbarian concubines.

Hearing what his wife said, the father smiled awkwardly.

"What are you laughing at, I don't know that you men, all the men in the world are just the same. After you become rich and powerful, you want to take concubines and marry children, it's all the same."

I think back then, Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, had such a good relationship with the Dugu family. They once agreed that the husband and wife would stay together for a lifetime.As a result, when he was getting old, Yang Jian still fell in love with the young and beautiful Yuchi.The Dugu family killed Yuchi while Yang Jian was in court. Yang Jian was so angry that he rode on his horse and ran for forty miles in one breath. He squatted by the river and wept.

Later, Dugu Jialuo had no choice but to personally select Princess Chen Chao Ningyuan for Yang Jian, and named her Mrs. Xuanhua.

The Qin family is still a relatively open-minded wife, taking a few concubines is just a trivial matter.

The three hundred peninsula beauties were quickly distributed, and the emperor himself only kept three.

When Xu Shiji asked the emperor in front of the emperor, Luo Cheng said with a straight face, "I'm not an example."

But when Xu Shiji looked at the emperor, he didn't seem dissatisfied at all, and when he saw the ministers and princes recently, everyone praised him, saying that the women from Silla, Baekje and Goguryeo were very gentle, and some even asked him to bring them back. After that, get them some more.

Seeing the emperor's return, Xu Shiji went to Honglu Temple to meet the envoys of Silla and Baekje, and said to them, "The women who paid tribute to you here last year were all fat, fat, and short. Your king's respectful superiors, those who conferred beauties, those who bestowed beauties, and those who bestowed princes, all rewarded."

The two messengers were terrified when they heard this.

"Let's go back and choose another one right away. Please tell me the standard of beauty."

Xu Shiji hummed a few times, "Just like last time, let's give another one hundred each. Remember not to make up the number with crooked melons and dates."

The two envoys were stunned for a moment, why did they first say that the last time was not good, and then say that they will be delivered according to the last time?Then I came back to my senses all of a sudden, it turned out that they were too few.

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief, and were even complacent about their country's beauties' admiration and love for the kingdom of heaven. They were very proud. I, the beauty of Sanhan, really lived up to my reputation, and even conquered the Emperor Qin and the princes of China!
