Princess Consort of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 13 Xue Shao's Best

After staying in the temple for less than half a day, the old monk surrounded Wang Bin all the time, keeping the Dharma in three words, as if he was a loyal Buddhist believer who was dedicated to popularizing the Dharma.

Although he won the chess game, the incense money that should be given is not less.

Because Wang Bin was selected into the list of son-in-law, the itinerary is no longer his business alone.

Now that the two power-holders have come under the watchful eye, it is still unclear who the son-in-law will belong to, so the Wang family can't offend Princess Taiping by blatantly refusing the marriage.

The princess decides who to choose in the end. Datang's open atmosphere also allows them to meet and get to know each other freely before marriage, so the four young men Cui Wang Xueyu all received a week-long mission to make the princess happy.

After a peaceful and peaceful day, Shen Sanwen's mood recovered a lot, and Wang Bin also received a notice to leave for Beijing.

On the way the two set off to fight against the capital, Wang Bin had a lazy expression on his face, "Brother Shen, I will be with the princess for the next week, and I don't know what kind of person she likes?"

Shen San asked that he didn't want to answer his question, and it wasn't my task.

Talking to himself was meaningless, so Wang Bin simply lay down on the carriage, muttering, "I just got here, and I'm going back again, I haven't had enough fun yet!" Then he closed his eyes and rested.

It is said that Empress Wu has always remembered the matter of the princess in her heart, waiting for Di Renjie's reply, knowing her daughter's heart, and like the princess, she does not want her to marry an incompetent person.However, the political affairs were busy, Gaozong was weak, and most of the government orders had to go through the hands of Empress Wu.

It was already the second day that Di Renjie was summoned.

The two were originally from the same hometown, and Di Renjie was not only talented, but also very upright. The most important thing was that he shared many political views with Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian therefore valued Di Renjie very much, and made many decisions.The selection of the son-in-law of Princess Taiping was a private matter, but Di Renjie understood the parents' feelings for their children very well, and readily agreed to the request of the Prime Minister's son-in-law.

The polite worship is over.

With a kind smile, Empress Wu went straight to the point, "Di Aiqing, I wonder how talented you are? Are they all well-read poems and books? How is your character? Who is a good match?"

Di Renjie is also very content to meet a confidant, and he has to mention Shen Sanwen and his views on the gentry to Empress Wu. However, there are priorities, so let's answer the question about the son-in-law first.

Di Renjie answered Empress Wu's question solemnly and succinctly, "Your sons are all well-educated, but talent is of great benefit. As for a good match, Mr. Xue Shao is honest, responsible, and upright. He is really the best choice for a son-in-law."

Empress Wu was slightly taken aback, "What does Aiqing mean by this? Then Xue Shao is an unknown person in Chang'an in terms of talent and learning. Could it be that Xue Shao is much better than other young masters?"

Di Renjie slowly explained: "Xue Shao's talent is not outstanding, but he has a calm personality, is straightforward, and is by no means a treacherous person. It is rumored that he has dabbled in both rituals, music, riding and archery, and he is elegant, so the choice of son-in-law is really the best choice.

Cui Xuan, Wang Bin, and Shen Sanwen should be the three sons with the most outstanding talents.

Cui Xuan, the youngest son of the Cui family in Boling, has outstanding talents and learning, and his words and deeds put the interests of the family first, and he is deeply valued by the family. The Cui family expects a lot from him. The rich in the Tang Dynasty are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. If you want to save the people from the fire and water, you must get rid of the disaster of the family.

Wang Bin, the arrogant son of the Wang family, has outstanding talents and unique insights, but has a mischievous personality and treats people well, but he has a playful attitude.

As for Mr. Shen, Mr. Shen..."

Di Renjie was stunned suddenly, and Shen Sanwen was not very good at commenting.

Empress Wu was nervous about her daughter, and she didn't want to miss her beloved. Seeing Di Renjie hesitating, she couldn't wait to ask again, "What is so unique about Mr. Shen?"

Di Renjie told Empress Wu unhurriedly about the conversation with Shen Sanwen, and gave an evaluation. "The Shen family is a second-rate clan. The son of the Shen family has been traveling all over the world for many years. He has insight into the society and the people's livelihood, and his conversation is extraordinary. His political views do not coincide with mine. But he is a little pessimistic, old-fashioned, and the city is deep. He is extremely serious. Corruption can also be explained by rent-seeking power. He is an out-and-out businessman. This person must have great talent, and he also has the intention of helping the world if he is successful, but it is unpredictable to be selected as a son-in-law .”

Empress Wu was very satisfied with Di Renjie's answer.When choosing a son-in-law, one must not only choose someone who is healthy, handsome, and talented, but also has a good character and character.Di Renjie not only observed the words and deeds of these people, but also learned a lot about their life backgrounds. He put himself in the princess's shoes, and looked at the young masters with the eyes of picking sons-in-law.

Cui Xuan must be eliminated, and the remaining three young masters, Wang, Shen, and Xue, although they have Di Renjie's previous analysis, they must still be left to the princess to choose.

Empress Wu said happily, "Ping'er has been similar to me since she was a child. She likes to make decisions on her own and doesn't like to be manipulated. I will pass on Aiqing's suggestion later. As for Ping'er's choice, I will not interfere. Originally Among the four confirmed sons, there is none of Mr. Shen, and one of them is Mr. Li, but since Aiqing didn't mention it, he must be a mediocre person. Ping'er will never like a mediocre person. The son-in-law must be Xue Shao or Wang Bin. I have a very good impression of these two people."

The matter of the son-in-law came to an end, and there was a talented and famous Mr. Shen. Naturally, Di Renjie was very optimistic about this person, so he said a lot on purpose.

After a little thought, Empress Wu continued, "As for Mr. Shen, if you have talent and learning, after the assessment, you can recommend him to Aiqing as an official."

On the other side, the carriage was walking like flying, and the two of them had already returned to the capital not long after. With the understanding along the way, Shen Sanwen resolutely decided to go directly to the palace for dinner.

　Thank you for the great recommendation vote
