The Great Grandson of the Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the slaughter of General Tiance's mans

Chapter 176 Major families compete for the throne of queen

This loli girl named Ran'er is the daughter of his uncle Zheng Yuanzhou, named Zheng Ran.

The reason why Li Chengdao knew her was because he had just been forced out of Chang'an and went to Xingyang to join the Zheng family. The two happened to know each other. At that time, the little girl admired him quite a lot and clamored to go to Youzhou to fight with him.

But compared to that time, Zheng Ran had grown up a lot and was much quieter, so he almost didn't recognize her.

Li Chengdao originally thought that Zheng Yuanzhou came to the palace to visit Zheng Guanyin, or to seek some benefits for the Zheng family, but he never expected that Zheng Yuanzhou planned to send his daughter to the palace, and for the position of queen. Go!

"Mother, Ran'er is only 14 years old now. She is too young. How can she enter the palace and become the queen? This matter should be discussed in the long term..."

Li Chengdao was covered in cold sweat and declined politely.

Hearing his words, Zheng Ran's big eyes looking at Li Chengdao were suddenly covered with mist, and his pitiful look made people look extremely distressed.

She said in a low voice, "Brother Chengdao doesn't like Ran'er..."

Even the title was changed from Your Majesty to Brother Chengdao, which was obviously unruly, but Li Chengdao naturally couldn't scold her for this. Instead, he comforted her nicely: "No, Ran'er, you are too young now..."

But the more he tried to persuade Zheng Ran, the more she felt aggrieved and tears were about to fall.

"What's wrong with being a queen at the age of 14? Ran'er is too young. Don't forget that you were only 16 when you led the troops to fight against the Turks. Now you are only 17. Aren't you also the emperor of the Tang Dynasty?"

"Ran'er is a member of the family and knows each other well. Wouldn't it be better for her to be given the back seat than to an outsider? Besides, this girl Ran'er really likes you and you have known each other for a long time. This is a match made in heaven!"

Zheng Guanyin pulled Ran Er into his arms and wiped her tears distressedly. He stared at Li Chengdao with a pair of phoenix eyes and scolded.

"I……"

Li Chengdao just felt a huge headache. Could he be the same as Zheng Ran?He traveled through time and had a mental age of 24-14 years old. How could he attack a [-]-year-old girl?

So sinful.

Although it was common in ancient times to get married at the age of 14, he really couldn't accept it.

"If Your Majesty is unwilling, Queen Mother, you don't have to force yourself. I can only say that Ran'er does not have this blessing."

Seeing Li Chengdao's troubled look, Zheng Yuanzhou sighed and said to Zheng Guanyin.

"Uncle, that's not what I meant."

Li Chengdao said helplessly.

To be honest, the Zheng family in Xingyang played an indelible contribution to his defeat of Li Shimin and his ascension to the throne. His first batch of troops and the first batch of food and grass were all provided by the Zheng family in Xingyang.

Later, the city was besieged by the Turks, and the Zheng family also played a decisive role.

Therefore, it is not too much for the Zheng family in Xingyang to want the position of queen, and there is no problem with Zheng Ran's identity.

Although they are cousins, it was very common for cousins ​​to get married in ancient times. It was in line with etiquette and there would be no criticism.

Zheng Guanyin was born in the Zheng family in Xingyang, so she naturally wanted to choose a girl from her natal family to be Li Chengdao's wife.

But Zheng Ran's age is really difficult for Li Chengdao to accept.

Hearing Zheng Guanyin's nagging, Li Chengdao felt very upset and shouted in a deep voice: "Mother!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, the majesty of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty immediately shocked the entire audience. Zheng Guanyin's voice suddenly stopped, and even Ran Er was too frightened to cry, with tears hanging on her long eyelashes.Li Chengdao looked calm and said to Zheng Guanyin: "Mother, the position of queen requires the mother to honor the world and command the six palaces. Ran'er is too young and is not qualified."

"As for the candidate for the queen, we will not set it up for the time being. It will be decided at a later date."

Li Chengdao's tone was full of unquestionable meaning, showing the strength of an emperor.

After he finished speaking, his expression softened again, he raised his hand to wipe away the tears on Zheng Ran's face, and said softly: "Ran'er, are you willing to give you the position of noble concubine?"

Seeing Li Chengdao's handsome face and gentle eyes, Ran'er forgot all the grievances, her pretty face flushed and she nodded: "Ran'er, Ran'er is willing."

Only then did a smile appear on Li Chengdao's face.

Then he looked at the somewhat flustered Zheng Yuanzhou and said, "Uncle, I will never forget Zheng's contribution. Even if Ran'er is not the queen, as long as I am around, no one can touch Zheng's status."

"And if I have children in the future, the throne will only be passed on to the worthy rather than to the direct line. Uncle, do you understand what I mean?"

Li Chengdao spoke so frankly and thoroughly that the little dissatisfaction in Zheng Yuanzhou's heart immediately disappeared, and he respectfully responded: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Chengdao's meaning is very obvious. Even if Zheng Ran does not become the queen, as long as the heirs she gives birth to in the future are talented enough to surpass other princes, they can still become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty!

And with Li Chengdao's guarantee, regardless of whether Zheng Ran is the queen or not, the Zheng family can still prosper!
Furthermore, although Li Chengdao does not set up a queen now, when Zheng Ran grows up, he may not have a chance!

Li Chengdao's strong words directly filled in the topic with a satisfactory result for everyone.

After ending this topic, the atmosphere became much more relaxed and harmonious. Li Chengdao and Zheng Yuanzhou chatted and laughed with each other, asked about the current situation of the Zheng family in Xingyang, then promised him some power and benefits, and stayed with him to eat together.

It wasn't until the evening that Zheng Yuanzhou returned drunkenly to enjoy the fun, while Zheng Ran stayed in Chang'an Palace and lived with Zheng Guanyin.

After dinner, Li Chengdao also left, and Zheng Guanyin escorted him to the palace gate.

"Chengdao, I did something wrong today and put you in trouble."

Zheng Guanyin said apologetically to Li Chengdao.

She didn't inform Li Chengdao, and she rashly asked him to make Zheng Ran his queen without even discussing it. She really didn't think twice about it.

As the emperor, Li Chengdao had to consider many more aspects than she did, and his words and deeds should not be taken lightly.

Li Chengdao smiled, and then complained a little childishly: "Although the mother is doing her best for her children, after all, it is a major life event, and she still needs to ask her children's opinions."

It was really rare for such a side to appear in Li Chengdao, and even the surrounding eunuchs and maids were dumbfounded.

Is this the usual majestic majesty?

Zheng Guanyin couldn't help but smile, and after soothing Li Chengdao for a while, he sent him away from Chang'an Palace.

……

On the way back to the Taiji Hall, Li Chengdao looked up at the fiery red sunset outside the high palace wall and said lightly: "I have passed on my oral instructions to announce that the daughter of the eldest grandson, eldest grandson Yunlu, has come to the palace to pay homage."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Eunuch Bingbi bowed in agreement, then turned and left.
