Chapter 430
"I came to the door today, but I have a request from my brother."

Fan Zheng was gentle for a while, and he understood the reason.

The imagined scene of Yan Yangting being furious did not appear.

Yan Yangting just replied softly: "This is a bit difficult. Shaoqing knows that my Yan family has been studying literature for generations, and is well-known among scholars. If the suitor is a literati with good conduct, even an ex-official official will No problem."

"Military commanders, their ranks can be ignored, but civil and martial arts have different paths after all, and invisible barriers are the most difficult to break."

This is a truly virtuous literati, even if he refuses, he will not make a bad sound, unlike some villains in later generations who keep saying that they want to eliminate the authors of online articles.

Fan Zheng nodded his head: "Knowing about this made it difficult for my brother, but the Yan family has lived in Chang'an for more than sixty years, not to mention the direct branch, and there are many side branches."

"My brother Fan Sheng, although he is rough and bold, has a kind heart. He is very filial to his mother, respectful to his sister, and loyal to the country. Although he is in his thirties, he failed to get married because of mistakes in finding relatives."

"Brother Fan Sheng thinks he's stupid and uneducated, and intends to marry a scholarly woman who can teach his children to read more, regardless of his parents."

Of course, for the Tang Dynasty, the barrier between civil and military was not as unbreakable as later generations. You can see that Yang Hongli went to Kucha with a knife and Cheng Yaojin was the governor of Puzhou.

It was his Yan family, Yan Zhenqing who was loyal to the country later, can you simply conclude that he is a man of literature or martial arts?

Not to mention Fan Zheng's background, who can despise someone who is neither civil nor military?
Yan Yangting nodded slightly, noncommittal.

In all fairness, the direct branch is definitely not allowed to marry a martial artist, and the concubine daughter of the side branch is not out of consideration.

After all, not every concubine can get a well-matched marriage.

A general of Zuo Xiao Wei Yi's mansion who was ranked fourth, was promoted by virtue of his military exploits, and he was seeking to marry his original spouse instead of his second wife, so he did not disgrace the Yan family.

Yan Yangting deliberated for a long time, and after cooking two pots of tea, he responded kindly: "I don't have much opinion on this idea. It's just that I'm under discipline and it's not suitable to talk about happy events. You can negotiate with my third uncle."

In Yan Zhitui's lineage, the eldest son Yan Silu, the eldest grandson Yan Shigu, and the eldest great-grandson Yan Yangting, so the head of this lineage is actually Yan Yangting.

Yan Shigu's third younger brother, Yan Qinli, is a bachelor of Hongwenguan. It seems that he is not well-known among the four brothers, but most of his descendants occupy high positions.

Yan Yangting's lineage seems rather weak.

If we calculate carefully, his eldest brother Yan Zhiyi returned to Chang'an one after another with Yan Zhitui. However, he offended Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty.
-
The matter of Yan Mansion spread to Liangyi Hall within half a day.

Li Shimin reclined lazily, nonchalantly drinking the wine Yang Hongli sent.

Old injuries always flare up suddenly, and medicine stones have long been ineffective. Only Du Kang can anesthetize the body and temporarily relieve the pain.

Therefore, even if the crown prince has something unsatisfactory, Li Shimin can only teach him patiently, and dare not lightly abolish the establishment.

Leaving aside the words of concubines and concubines, it takes time to cultivate a qualified heir.

It is not unqualified to temporarily substitute the emperor, but that is rare.

Most of the emperors who replaced the superiors without being trained by the established reserve were not very good, especially Song Huizong Zhao Ji and Ming Dynasty Chongzhen.

"Prince, what do you think of Fan Zheng asking Yan to marry him for Fan Sheng?"

Li Zhi straightened his spine, and said seriously: "As far as I know, Fan Zheng and Fan Sheng's sisters are like brothers and sisters, so it is normal to propose marriage for them."

"Fan Zheng is young, but he is cautious in doing things, so he has few reasons. If you are in the same situation, if Fan Sheng wants to marry a woman from a scholarly family, you can mention it to Wei Qu."

Wei Qu has a large number of people, and there are countless main line and branch sisters. It is not difficult to choose a suitable one to marry Fan Sheng.

Li Shimin took a sip of slightly sweet wine and said with a smile: "Then, what does the crown prince think of the truth?"

Li Zhi raised his eyebrows: "I think he is trying to avoid suspicion. Webster's influence in the court is not small, but in the army, he is not powerful enough, so it is not enough to cause harm."

"But after all, Fan Sheng is the real general of Zuo Xiao Wei Yi's mansion. If he marries Wei Qu, even the minister will inevitably be worried."

Li Shimin said with a smile: "As expected, the crown prince can take charge of his own affairs, and I am relieved. What do you think about the matter in the Western Regions?"

A ruthless look flashed in Li Zhi's eyes: "The Western Regions belong to the Tang Dynasty, and the Silk Road belongs to the Tang Dynasty. Anyone who dares to stop them will be punished!"

"Western Turkic Yipishekui Khan's heart of disobedience is clearly revealed, and Ashina Helu should be named General Zuo Xiaowei, Governor of Yaochi, and Shaboluo Yehu. He temporarily lives in Mohe City in Tingzhou to control She Kui."

Li Shimin rejoiced: "My son has the appearance of a wise king!"

The total population of Kucha is only tens of thousands, but they were able to gather [-] troops to fight against the Tang Dynasty. It is no need to ask what role the Western Turks played in it.

"Shekui sent people to the court, and then discussed the matter of marrying the princess. The minister thought that he could make a verbal promise, and ordered Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites to evade in every possible way. It would take three or two years to let it go."

Although Li Zhi is young, he knows a lot about Cuju, which is popular in officialdom.

If a group of bureaucrats set their minds on their moves, even the emperor would find it difficult to explain their mysterious footwork.

Li Shimin's face turned red, and he said with a light smile, "If Honghe Temple and the Ministry of Rites intend to speed up the process, what should you do?"

Cutting cannot be cut, and such calculations cannot be put on the table.

Li Zhi thought for a long time, but he was helpless, his face turned red.

The martial artist carrying the food box walked quickly into the hall, and chuckled lightly: "A gentleman can be bullied."

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows: "Your talent has an idea?"

Wu Zhao was slightly blessed: "Although the concubine is not talented, there is a way to solve the prince's difficulties. Tell Yousi that the matter is not handled well, and the whole department will marry to Western Turkic as a princess concubine."

This idea is poisonous.

Even if someone really wants to "ride the horse and gallop", you have to see if the staff around you agree, and whether they will give you a knife secretly.

In Li Shimin's view, although this move is strange, it lacks the air of integrity.

In Li Zhi's view, this is the first ray of dawn in the dark night.

Li Shimin's appetite has been poor recently, he doesn't like the meals served by the Provincial Food Bureau in the palace, he only likes the peony and jelly dishes cooked by Wu Zhao, so Wu Cairen has the opportunity to enter the Hall of Liangyi.

Wu Zhao's unintentional words made Li Zhi remember them in his heart.

If there is a rising cloud day, you should ask this strange woman to be the mastermind.

Li Zhi saw that Li Shimin's expression was not very favorable, so he quickly said, "It's so lonely for a talented person to do this. For these officials, only serious responsibilities can make them vigilant."

Li Shimin wanted to speak, but found that Li Zhizhi's words were not completely unreasonable.

He is loose in the imperial court, because he has the prestige of Tiance Admiral and his invincible record is shocking, what does the prince have?
No.

Can the crown prince be expected to fight like him?

Therefore, who can say that the prince is wrong with harsh criticism and heavy discipline?
One emperor, one courtier, one emperor has one style, as long as Li Zhida's direction is correct, you can't hold his hand, and everything must be handled according to Li Shimin's style, right?
