Mysterious Tang Dynasty

Chapter 481 Behind
Concubine Dou was silent for a while after hearing what her son Li Lang said, and then sighed: "If Li Niang really has such an idea, there is nothing she can do about it. There are young ladies in the clan who become monks and become female crowns from generation to generation, and there is not much more of her." , she is a lot less. If she really makes up her mind, we can only let her go."

Li Lang was surprised: "How can this be done?! Mother, her child is ignorant, that's all. It's not a good place to become a monk. She is not the noble lord of the royal family. She is protected by a saint and has many slaves to serve her. She still holds a large amount of farmland property in her hand, so she doesn't have to worry about food and clothing. Being a monk is just trying to be free and unrestricted. She has some money in her hand now, but if she doesn't have the support of her family, she won't have the support of her husband's children and grandchildren in the future. Then Zhao Chenji may not be able to prosper forever. When this property is gone, how will you let her live alone?!"

Concubine Dou disagreed: "Could it be that she is relying on Zhao Chenji to live now? No matter whether she is a monk or not, she is still the flesh and blood of our Sui Palace, and is your niece and daughter! She will not marry in the future People, without her husband's family and grandchildren to rely on, can't you be an uncle to rely on for her?! Or with you, the uncle of the clan and county king, she will still be bullied, and she will not be able to live a comfortable life for a few years? !"

Li Lang was dumbfounded: "Why? My son will naturally protect my niece..."

But then again, he is just Li Lijun's third uncle.She has her own father and siblings, so she doesn't have to rely on him as an uncle to live.

Concubine Dou said: "If you think about the character of the heir king, does he look like a loving father who can be relied on? He wants to seek power, but he has no ability at all, and he is unwilling to start as a magistrate honestly. In this way When it comes time to marry his daughter, do you think he will really think about the child's future? I'm afraid he's just going to the families of powerful officials and eunuchs. As long as it's good for him, he won't care What kind of temperament and character will the future son-in-law have! If you really count on him, you will really cheat Li Niang!"

Li Dai is not without criminal record.Although the children are not too old, Li Jianrang and Li Chujun, the eldest son and daughter, are almost old enough to see each other. Li Dai has long considered their marriage.Li Jianrang has nothing to say, he is notoriously weak, and with the King of Sui staring at him, Li Dai didn't dare to mess around too much, so he could only pick a healthy and well-behaved young lady from a large family, and he hasn't picked anyone yet. .But Li Chujun was almost betrothed by his father to Yang Guozhong's nephew, but because he was still a little younger and his reputation was not very good, he was declined by the other party.Li Dai was angry for several days because he missed this marriage!
Although Li Chujun was born of the Dayang family, the death of the Dayang family has something to do with Concubine Yang Gui. She herself still resents the latter. If her father really gave her to Yang Guozhong's nephew, how would she feel?
Li Dai chooses someone for his eldest daughter who has always been loved and valued, and even blindly goes for power and wealth, and doesn't care what his daughter thinks at all, let alone his second daughter who is not favored by him?If he hadn't fallen out with Yang Guozhong's brother and sister now, maybe he would have promised his youngest daughter and forced Li Lijun to join his enemies.

This kind of thing, Li Dai can do it!

Concubine Dou felt that instead of letting this unreliable father decide her own life, and then lead a miserable life for the rest of her life, perhaps even the property passed down from her natal family would be swallowed up by her husband's family, Li Lijun would rather be a monk and become a daughter. Forget it!Anyway, the property is in her own hands, and it is up to her to decide whether her life is good or not.

Thinking of this, Concubine Dou turned to persuade her son Li Lang: "Li Niang is different from Hui Niang. She doesn't have a good father to protect her all the time, and her mother left early, and the prince treats her only mediocrely. She can count on her in this life." It’s still me. If she wants to marry and have children in the future, no matter how much we mother and son want to help her, we can’t say anything, and we can only be at the mercy of her father. But if she is determined to become a monk, then we can still protect her. Nursing, let her have someone to rely on in the future, and don't be bullied by cats and dogs. Even if she gets older in the future, you will have grandsons and great-grandsons who can support her and keep her well-fed. The three of us I have been benefited from her for several years, and I should repay both emotionally and rationally."

She married into the Sui Palace and became a princess for decades, and she has always been wronged by her stepson before her. She has the status of a princess, but she does not have the authority and dignity of a princess.But in the past few years, thanks to the child Li Lijun, she holds the power of the central government and has no shortage of money in her hands, so she can maintain her dignity.Even if the power of Zhongfu has been transferred to the daughter-in-law Princess Pei, the people in the Sui Palace dare not ignore her anymore.

She succeeded in finding a bright future for her natal brothers and nephews, allowing her son to remarry with a beautiful wife, her daughter's marriage is on the mend, and even the dowry is almost prepared, and she can even save a sum of pension money for herself , the next thing to do is to prepare the dowry of her granddaughter Li Huijun, and she will have nothing to worry about.No matter how many children Li Lang and Lin Sanniang will have in the future, how much money they will spend on their marriage and their future are their business.Princess Pei didn't plan to spend any more time.When the time she agreed with Li Lijun came, she would no longer receive [-]% of Zhao Chenji's income from the latter.But she will never forget the benefits she has received from Li Lijun in the past few years, and she will not allow her children and grandchildren to forget.

Li Lang heard his mother's words, and said seriously: "Even if Li Niang didn't give A Niang so much money every year, I would protect her as a niece and would not let outsiders bully her. Since A Niang has made up her mind, don't If you object to Li Niang becoming a monk, then it is up to you. In any case, this child cannot be bullied by the elder brother. Although the elder brother is Li Niang's father, he has always been unreliable in doing things. Ti, being unkind to a father. Don’t say that Li Niang is a good child who has lost his mother and lost his support. Even A Jian, Chu Niang, Yan Niang, and Wen Liang, they can’t just watch their elder brother waste their lives !"

Princess Dou nodded in satisfaction.

She persuaded her son, but she didn't intend to let her husband go.The king of Sui is the master of the palace of the king of Sui. If he wants to suppress the heir king Li Dai, the king of Sui must speak.

Therefore, Concubine Dou discussed with Sui Wang that Li Lijun wanted to become a monk.

King Sui had heard his grandson Li Jianrang mention this earlier, but he didn't take it to heart.The little granddaughter is still young, maybe she will change her mind when she grows up in a few years, there is no need to worry so early.

Concubine Dou said: "Even if Li Niang's original thoughts were not so firm, now that she sees how cruel the king is when he scolds the children, she dare not expect anything from her father. If the prince doesn't make decisions for the children, what do you think the heirs will do?" What kind of marriage can Wang arrange for several children? At that time, even half of the property left by the Chen family will be asked to be sold to him. Li Niang is a smart child, and she is willing to be cheated by her father? The bond between father and daughter cannot be preserved, and even our Sui Palace will be implicated and humiliated in front of everyone in Chang'an!"

Sui Wang kept a straight face and said nothing, but he knew in his heart that what his wife said was really possible.His eldest son can do this kind of thing, and he has been humiliated more than once!
After a while he said: "It was my fault that I didn't teach Ah Dai well, but now that his temperament has been settled, it's too late to teach him, what can I do?! Even if Li Niang becomes a monk, Ah Dai will Maybe I won’t bully the children. Now I can stop them, but when I die, I can’t stop them. It really makes Ah Dai hate the children, and I’m afraid that he will make the children even worse in the future !"

Concubine Dou held King Sui's hand: "As long as the prince has a heart, there will always be a way!"
