Sui Dynasty: I, Yang Guang, am both scrupulous and stable

Chapter 59 Arranged Marriage
While talking about the war at the Turkic border, the emperor suddenly said that he would choose a good and auspicious day for himself to get married.

Originally, he was not old and the emperor was not in a hurry, but now the situation has changed.

Although the war situation on the northern front has improved and the battle has been won, we still have to be prepared for a long-term war of resistance. At this time, the stability of the south is crucial.

Will Chen Chao take advantage of this moment to cause trouble?

Of course it would. The Sui Dynasty's army heading north was great news for the Chen Dynasty. If Emperor Chen hadn't been seriously ill and the court was in chaos, he would have had to personally conquer it.

There are two key points for defense on the southern front, Taikang and Jiangling.

Among them, Jiangling is owned by Xiliang.

Western Liang was a vassal of the Sui Dynasty, but when the ancestors were rich, the entire south belonged to them.

The Sui Dynasty supported Xi Liang against the Chen Dynasty. Although Xi Liang did not think that he would violate his ancestors and collude with Chen Chaohan, the relationship between the two parties must be strengthened at this sensitive time.

Therefore, Yang Guang's wedding was put on the agenda. It would be best to marry his children as soon as possible so that their relationship could be further developed.

As the protagonist of the marriage, Yang Guang lamented that he was about to experience the ancient arranged marriage.

Love should be free, like a bird in the sky, like a fish jumping out of the blue sea, like the wind rising and falling in disorder on the mountains, lonely and leisurely, like a rose blooming in the muddy swamp, unruly, I am willing to hold the white child. Stand in front of the chessboard and play against fate to win a battle of freedom.

Faced with the evil arranged marriage in feudal society, will he resist?
Of course not, what are you thinking about?

Are arranged marriages what people are against?
No!No one has ever objected to arranged marriages, it’s just that the person who objects to the arrangement doesn’t like it. Ask yourself if you arranged Liu Yifei for me, I can get the certificate on the spot.

Everyone is a double-standard dog, and no one is immune.

If a girl like Xiao Menglan hadn't been able to time travel well, she wouldn't be able to marry her even to death, so why should she be so picky?It’s business to bring her back quickly to have a baby.

Yang Guang knew the purpose of this political marriage, and Yang Jian kept him after the morning court.

Only the father and son were left in the empty hall. The emperor stood up from the dragon throne, walked down the steps, and the two stood side by side.

"Amo, what do you think about marriage?"

"The orders of parents and the words of matchmakers are not objectionable to children and ministers."

Seeing Yang Guang say this, Yang Jian felt a little relieved.

He was worried about Yang Guang and Yang Yong.

Yang Yong's first wife, Crown Princess Yuanshi, was the daughter of Yuan Xiaoju, and his concubine was the daughter of Gao Xi, but he had a bad relationship with both concubines.

Since the last time he learned that Yuan was crying in front of the empress, Yang Yong had become even less doting on her. He pretended to be respectful to her, but he didn't even touch her.

The reason why a womanizer can be so upright is because she is boring and serious, which is Yang Yong's least favorite character, and also because this marriage has no emotional basis, and it cannot be cultivated if she is cultivated.

But this was a matter between a young couple. Yang Yong did not hit or scold him, and it was not wrong to save face. Queen Dugu could only make insinuations.

Yang Jian is worried that Yang Guang will be like this in the future. Nowadays, young people have many ideas and have not yet completely settled on things.

Seeing that Yang Guang had no objection, Yang Jian felt relieved and said, "Your mother will handle the specific matters. If you need any help, tell her early and go over later to see what she has ordered." .”

Yang Guang then came to the Queen's palace.

Queen Dugu had also just received the emperor's order, but because Xiao Menglan was originally assigned to Yang Guang, she had already started preparing for the relevant matters beforehand, so she would not be at a loss.

"Mother, I have never been married and have no experience. I don't know what to do. You see what I need to do and you give me your orders."

Queen Dugu always felt a little strange hearing this, but she didn't react.

He pulled over an old nanny with a kind face and said, "This is Nanny Li. She has been with me since I was a child. She is my most capable assistant. She took care of all the internal affairs of your eldest brother's wedding." Nanny Li saluted: "This slave has met King Jin."

"Date, etiquette, your father said that you should take this opportunity to let the newly established Ministry of Etiquette take over. You need to ask Aunt Li to go to your Prince Jin's mansion to prepare all the wedding needs and train the servants. Etiquette is lost.”

These are all routine things, the queen said, and Yang Guang listened.

After giving these instructions, Queen Dugu said: "I still need you to write an invitation in person."

"Invitation?"

"When the date is set, write a personal letter to Xiao Kui, the Lord of Xiliang, and invite him to come to Chang'an to attend your wedding to Meng Lan."

Yang Guang instantly understood what Queen Dugu meant: "But Queen Mother, he... probably won't come."

Queen Dugu nodded: "As the head of a country, he will not leave easily, so he will most likely send his son here. Now that he is here, he should stay in Chang'an for a while."

"Mother, isn't this bad..."

"Xiliang pays tribute to our court. When the invitation letter is sent, a large amount of property will be rewarded to the Lord of Xiliang. Only by being kind and powerful can he make them more obedient. You don't need to worry about this."

"Also, Meng Lan will re-enter the palace today and learn the etiquette of being a princess."

"It all depends on mother's arrangements."

Yang Guang took Nanny Li back to the house first. As soon as he returned to the house and told Wang Yi and others about getting married, the whole Jin Palace became lively. His prince was getting married, which was the biggest thing.

Grandma Li looked at Wang Yi jumping up in front of Yang Guang and shouted loudly: "How does it look like that the manager of the palace is so frivolous and impetuous?"

Facing the old woman with a stern voice, Wang Yi glanced at her. She could tell by her dress that she was a palace steward, so he didn't dare to say a word.

"You are the steward of Prince Jin's Mansion. The marriage between Prince Jin and Princess Xi Liang is of great importance. There must be no mistakes in any etiquette. Fortunately, the Queen asked me to come. Otherwise, judging from your appearance, what if there is a joke? ?”

She spoke in a harsh voice, and Yang Guang felt that she looked like a villain in a house-fighting drama. However, since this was someone sent by his mother, it was not easy for him to scold her.

Wang Yi said wisely: "Yes, yes, this servant is not stable enough in her work. Isn't that why you are here to help me take care of her?"

As soon as she entered the door, Nanny Li asked Yang Guang: "Your Highness, the Queen has something that I'm embarrassed to tell you, but this boring old woman has no choice but to ask for it. After all, I have to do things well according to the Queen's will."

"Tell me what's going on?"

"Please, Your Highness, please call out all the maids, concubines, or maids with whom you have relationships."

Yang Guang looked at her speechlessly: "This, no."

Aunt Li had an "I understand" smile on her face: "If Your Highness, Prince Jin, feels embarrassed, please go and rest first, and I will go with Manager Wang."

"Really do not have!"

Yang Guang is helpless. Why don't you believe that you are so clean?
Wang Yi interjected: "Mother Li, all the maids and servants in the house were replaced a month ago."

Nanny Li immediately cast an appreciative look at Yang Guang: "Your Highness, high!"

Damn it, am I not allowed to die unjustly?You are not making disgraceful rumors about me.

"There is really no one. I replaced them because I was afraid that there were spies among them."

"Your Highness doesn't need to explain. I understand, so let's be like this. I'll be more straightforward. Your Highness will get married soon. The other party is the Princess of Xiliang. Both parties have noble status. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, these women have to be cleared away. Your Highness It's good that I've cleared it myself. It shows that Your Highness has a clear mind, and I feel more at ease. However, I have to remind Your Highness that once it's cleared, it will be broken, and don't keep it outside."

“I really don’t have any!!!!”
