A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 798 Wedding next year

"Thank you, Brother Qingyang, for taking care of my brother in Lingnan. He expressed great respect and gratitude to you in his letter."

Under the tree-shaded corridor of Wude Hall, the eldest grandson Guojiu, who was wearing a long purple silk gown, said, "This man is still fat, and he still holds the title of Kaifu Yitong Sansi with no actual duties.

It's not a good feeling to be kept on the cold bench by the emperor.

However, he was not really marginalized. The eldest son Guojiu was still the emperor's confidant and his power remained undiminished. Especially after his uncle Gao Shilian returned to the court and became prime minister last year, many people felt that eldest grandson Guojiu would also soon. He returned to the prime minister, but he didn't expect that one and a half years later, the eldest grandson still had no actual job.

"Da Lang, the eldest grandson, has performed very well since he became the governor of Qinzhou. He is worthy of being the darling of your eldest grandson family. He comes from a noble family and does not have the air of a playboy. He has real talents and is also humble and willing to work. Qinzhou is also a remote place in Lingnan. The situation was complicated, but he was able to sort out the situation in a short time and start work quickly.

Whether it was appeasing the Han chiefs, the local commanders, or the barbarians, they all did an excellent job. They stationed garrison troops, recruited new government troops, opened up military villages, immigrated to the border areas, and implemented two taxes.

Around this year, there was a huge rebellion in Xilu. I only gave him an order. Without soldiers or guns, Changsun Dalang was able to quickly mobilize and organize the Qinzhou native regiment, and quickly put down the rebellion in Shangsizhou next door, and captured the thieves and the king. Use both suppression and appeasement to quickly put down the rebellion.

Such a great talent deserves to be reused by the imperial court. "

After saying this, Changsun Wuji laughed and was very happy.

Changsun Chong is his eldest son, and was also chosen as his son-in-law by the emperor's brother-in-law. He is the eldest daughter of Emperor Shang. Last year, the emperor prepared a dowry for his eldest daughter Princess Changle County that was twice that of his younger sister Princess Yongjia. Wei Zheng and others also admonished him. It was unpleasant.

It can be said that Changsun Chong was really born with the Golden Soup Key in his mouth, and every step was very well arranged.

Before he went to Lingnan, he was already a fourth-rank Shaoqing. Wu Huaiyu took the initiative to show his kindness and proposed to Changsun Wuji to arrange for his eldest grandson to rush to Lingnan for gold plating. At first, Changsun Wuji was still a little hesitant. After all, Lingnan was a ghost place, and his eldest son But there can't be any mistakes.

Finally, I asked my sister, Empress Changsun, who supported her nephew to go to Lingnan for some experience, and Wu Huaiyu was indeed good, and the one who arranged for him was actually the governor of Qinzhou.

Changsun Chong does have some abilities, but after all, the son of a noble family has never been a governor before. Although the Changsun family sent many aides and disciples to assist, Changsun Chong can perform so well in Lingnan, let alone Wu Huaiyu. full support.

After all, Changsun Chong is now indeed plated with gold, and has won many praises from the local government and the court, but these are all due to Wu Huaiyu's face, and the full support of the Changsun family, and even the support of the emperor and empress.

This is a great favor,

"When is the eldest grandson Dalang planning to get married?" Huaiyu asked.

The princess's dowry is almost ready, and this matter will definitely not be delayed forever, even though Princess Changle is actually not very old.

By calculation, Princess Changle should be only twelve years old this year.

"I will serve for another two years and my term will be full. When the time comes, I will be promoted and return to the court, just in time to get married." Huaiyu said with a smile. In two years, the princess will not be more than fourteen years old.

Changsun Wuji stroked his beard and said, "I'm not in a hurry, but the queen said she wants to see the princess get married as soon as possible, and the wedding is scheduled for next year."

Huaiyu was surprised.

However, he thought that Queen Changsun seemed to have married Li Shimin at the age of thirteen, and Li Shimin was only sixteen at that time.

Nowadays, the imperial court encourages people to marry early and have children. Generally, women marry at fifteen, and thirteen is a bit early. However, those famous families have their own way of doing things. If they marry at thirteen, they may not consummate the marriage immediately. If they marry early, there are actually more profound reasons. In terms of level of meaning, after all, marriages from famous families are often political marriages.

Of course, it is also possible that the queen felt that her condition was too serious and she was afraid that she could not afford to wait, so she hoped to see her daughter get married.

Huaiyu thought of another thing. The queen had decided that Princess Changle would get married next year. The prince was the eldest brother of the eldest lord, so he shouldn't get married later than his sister.

Could it be that the emperor has already planned for the prince to get married this year or next year? But didn’t I hear before that it would be arranged in three years?

"This weather is really hot." Changsun Wuji is fat and cannot tolerate the heat. Even though he was under the shade of the tree, he was still sweating.

"Your Majesty will go to Jiucheng Palace, will you go?" the uncle asked him.

Huaiyu shook his head. He came back from Lingnan and was used to the hot weather. Moreover, he maintained a good figure. He was young, but in his twenties. He had been working out for a long time. He also liked to swim every day in Lingnan. He was not afraid of being in good health. Hot, "I won't stay in Chang'an for too long. I mainly want to treat the Queen. This time I will go to Jiucheng Palace in Qizhou together, but I will return to Lingnan when the Queen's condition stabilizes."

"Do you really want to go back to Lingnan?"

"Well, there's a big deal going on over there in Lingnan. I really can't leave."

Changsun Wuji smiled, but did not persuade. In fact, Wu Huaiyu also knew in his heart that although he and Changsun Wuji were relatives or allies, they were representatives of their respective hills and not from the same hilltop.

Now in the court, the big shots don't want Wu Huaiyu to return to the political hall and become prime minister, and they all intend to keep him in the local government. Even the emperor has shown his intention to keep him in the local government.

Changsun Wuji certainly had the same attitude.

Wu Huaiyu actually had no choice, so of course he had to offer some conditions in exchange.

His conditions were not excessive. He stayed in Lingnan and the warrior Xun entered the court. When he arrived in Chang'an, he found that the situation was not bad, so he made up his mind to promote the warrior Xun to become the prime minister.

Previously, Wu Huaiyu had helped Changsun Wuji with Gao Shilian's return to the court. Although it was an exchange of interests, now he had to return Wu Huaiyu's favor, or in other words, this was an exchange in itself.

"Really?"

"Well, I'm still young. I'm just a little worried about Dong Gong. I wish I could take more care of him if I'm around."

Changsun Wuji sighed, "It seems that I, the uncle, failed in my duty. I failed in my duty to cause such a big mess this time."

"Actually, I can't worry about the prince, otherwise I would also ask for his release." Changsun Wuji's words were half true and half false. He was not willing to be released, but the emperor's brother-in-law had been teasing him for six years since Zhenguan. Changsun Wuji was a little desperate.

Now he doesn't think about serving as servants, being ordered by Zhongshu, serving as a waiter, etc. At least, let him have an equal relationship with Zhongshu's disciples or participate in political affairs.

But the emperor just wouldn't give it.

Although the envoy's eldest son, Sun Wuji, was often summoned by the emperor to the palace to participate in court discussions, and could even accompany him from time to time to consult on military aircraft, his name was not justified after all.

And if you don't supervise a yamen, you're just an ordinary person after all.

Come on, he is not as free and easy as Wu Huaiyu after all.

He was actually quite happy about Wu Huaiyu's resignation as prime minister. I wonder if he would have a chance after Wu Huaiyu resigned.

He will support the warrior Yu to become prime minister, but he will not give up on himself to become prime minister again.
