Wentang

Chapter 616 Li Shimin's Worries
The queen and future mother-in-law called, Yue Shan didn't dare to delay, packed up immediately and went straight to the palace.On the way, he was still wondering if he would meet his little daughter-in-law, but it turned out that he was thinking too much.

The eldest grandson Wugou is as meticulous as a hair, how could he be allowed to take advantage of such loopholes, it is impossible for the couple to meet before they get married.

There are only two people in Qinzheng Palace, Li Shimin and Changsun Wugou.What would happen if these two couples were looking for him at the same time?
The eldest grandson Wugou didn't play charades, and said bluntly: "I called you here today to discuss Dalang's marriage."

"Your Majesty, do you have a favorite girl?" Yue Shan asked happily.

"It's not that I have a favorite girl, but Da Lang himself has a favorite girl." The eldest grandson Wugou said helplessly.

Hearing this, Yue Shan's heart skipped a beat, no way no way no way.

He hesitated and asked: "Could it be a girl from Duke Ying's family?"

Both of them looked at him in surprise, Changsun Wugou hurriedly asked: "You know?"

Yue Shan gave up completely, sighed and said, "It's really her."

"Hurry up and tell me what's going on." Li Shimin said impatiently.

"Mr. Ying Guogong went to my house yesterday..." So Yue Shan briefly talked about the visit to him by the warrior Xun yesterday, focusing on the encounter between Li Chengqian and Miss Wu and revealing the poem he wrote:
"I know that Da Lang's character is not the kind of talkative person. He was able to say that poem, obviously because he has a good impression of that Wu girl. That's why I guessed it."

Speaking of this, he looked at his eldest grandson Wugou and asked: "It's the saint and the empress, how do you know about this? Could it be that Da Lang confessed to you?"

"No, yesterday I found out that he was abnormal, so I had someone quietly follow him, and it turned out that he went to meet a girl, and after inquiring, I found out that she was the second wife of Duke Ying's family." Changsun Wugou said.

The second wife of Duke Ying's family?It's really Wu Zetian, this... Yue Shan's mood became very complicated.

Combining the words of the warrior Xun and the eldest grandson Wugou, it is not difficult to restore the truth of the matter.The two met by chance the day before yesterday and had a good relationship with each other, and yesterday they met to go to a temple fair...

Unexpectedly, Li Chengqian still fell into the big pit of Wu Zetian, and what was even more unexpected was that history has changed beyond recognition, and it still failed to change her fate of entering the palace.

It's just that she entered the palace as Li Shimin's concubine in the previous life, but in this life she entered the East Palace and became Li Chengqian's concubine.

The eldest grandson Wugou sensed his abnormality, and hurriedly asked: "You know Mrs. Wu Er? What kind of person is she?"

"Tell me first, what are you going to do if the Crown Prince really likes this Second Lady Wu?" Yue Shan asked.

Li Shimin didn't answer, but it could be seen from the frown that he was very embarrassed.The eldest grandson Wugou said: "The sage and I are in a difficult situation, so I asked you to discuss it."

Consult with me?Yue Shan really wanted to say that this Miss Wu Er was inappropriate, but he couldn't say anything.

Is Wu Zetian really not suitable to be a queen?On the contrary, her ability is definitely not inferior to Dugu Jialuo and Changsun Wugou.

With her assisting Li Chengqian, the crown prince's position can be said to be as stable as Mount Tai.

Li Chengqian is a young prince, and Li Shimin is a big mountain on top of him, which means that he will be the prince for at least 30 years. 30 years is too long, and accidents are easy to happen.

Yue Shan has always been worried that the father and son will eventually become enemies because of the estrangement of power, but if Li Chengqian has a good helper, things may be much better.

Wu Chang is definitely the second best housewife in this era - the other is Changsun Wugou.

The most important thing is that Li Chengqian has already taken a fancy to her girl, even if he acts as a hindrance, can he really prevent Wu Chang from moving into the East Palace?History has proven difficult.

Instead of being a hindrance and enmity with Wu Chang, it's better to be generous and actively promote them, so that you can still get a good one.Coupled with his relationship with the samurai Xun, he can easily become Wu Chang's ally.

Yue Shan still doesn't believe it, with his two lifetimes of wisdom, there is still no way to suppress a 12-year-old girl?Even if this girl is called Wu Zetian, so what.

He is Li Chengqian's de facto master, so he can naturally train Wu Zetian openly, and he doesn't believe that the couple can't be taught well.

Thinking of this, the arrogance in Yue Shan's heart completely gained the upper hand. Today, labor and management will know that there are tigers in the mountains and go to the mountains.

However, he was not in a hurry to give an opinion, but politely declined: "Only saints and empresses can make decisions about whether the crown prince accepts a concubine, and besides, I have lost the ability to read faces, so I have no way to give opinions."

"I know, didn't you show Ying Guogong a portrait before, and even commented on him. Tell us what you saw at that time, so that we can make decisions based on what you saw." Changsun Wugou said .

"This..." Yue Shan pretended to hesitate, and after a while, as if he had made some important decision, he said:
"Let's tell the truth to the saint and the empress, it was not because of him that I befriended Duke Ying. It was because I saw a kind of energy in him, a kind of energy that was very similar to that of Duke Qi."

Li Shimin focused his eyes and asked, "What does this breath represent?"

"Wai, Qi." Yue Shan said word by word.

"There are many kinds of relatives, are you sure his is the same as the auxiliary machine?" Li Shimin asked seriously.

"Almost exactly the same." Yue Shan said affirmatively: "I was just a fledgling boy at the time, and when I saw this anger, I wanted to sell it to him..."

Li Shimin and Changsun Wugou looked at each other in blank dismay, they didn't expect to get such an answer in the end.

Li Yuan has abdicated, and the current emperor is Li Shimin, and the warrior Xun has not yet become a relative.And he only has two daughters, one is 13 years old and the other is 12 years old. One of these two girls can't be Li Shimin's harem.

Rather than becoming Li Shimin's harem, one of these two girls is more likely to become Li Chengqian's concubine.

It happened that Li Chengqian was in charge of choosing a concubine, it happened that the two met by chance, and it happened that Li Chengqian had a crush on the second lady Wu.

This is already equivalent to express.

At this time Li Shimin asked suddenly: "Why didn't you tell me such an important matter before?"

"I didn't think about it that much at the time, but I forgot about it when it happened. If it wasn't for today's incident, I might not have remembered it." Yue Shan explained.

"For you to pass the test, you must tell me in advance if you encounter such a situation in the future." Li Shimin warned.

"Here." Yue Shan replied.But he didn't take Li Shimin's words seriously.

People are selfish, Yue Shan will definitely not tell Li Shimin everything he knows.

And Li Shimin also knew this, so he didn't force Yue Shan to explain everything he saw before, but only asked him to talk about it when he encountered important things.

This can be regarded as a tacit agreement.

"Okay, you can go back, I have to discuss this matter with the queen." Li Shimin said hurriedly.

"That..." Yue Shan rubbed his hands and said flatteringly: "If the saint and empress agree to let Miss Wu Er enter the palace, they must tell me in advance."

"Why, do you want to sell it again?" Changsun Wugou immediately guessed his plan.

"Hey, do you have to sing the whole audience in an opera? Your empress must fulfill me." Yue Shan said without any concealment.

"Look at your potential, you are the future prime minister of a literary master, it's not shameful to curry favor with a little girl." Changsun Wugou said.

"It's embarrassing to flatter a little girl, but if this little girl is the future princess, it won't be shameful at all." Yue Shan said indifferently.

"Okay, okay, I understand, let's go quickly." Changsun Wugou said with disgust.

So Yue Shan got up and left, leaving the couple to discuss how to deal with this matter.

When Yue Shan left, the eldest grandson Wugou asked: "What do you think the second brother should do?"

Li Shimin said angrily: "What else can I do? He, Yue Cuilan, even introduced the method of watching Qi, so he didn't give me a choice."

"Didn't he help many people change their lives, which means that what he sees can be changed." Changsun Wugou said.

"That's true, but it also depends on the situation. Some can be changed, and some are better to go with the sky. After all, if you change your life, you must go against the sky and you will be punished by the heavens. It can offset the loss of national fortune." Li Shimin shook his head and said:

"Every strand of national destiny is extremely precious, how can it be wasted in vain, so it is better to do less things to change fate against the sky."

The eldest grandson Wugou deeply believed that the country would perish if its luck was exhausted, and she knew too well what the fate of the subjugated royal family would be, so she agreed with Li Shimin's words very much.

Li Shimin continued: "Originally, I planned to find a woman from the Guanlong clan with an ordinary family background as the crown princess. This way, I can win over the Guanlong military group without cultivating powerful relatives. Now this plan will not work."

The two concepts of Guanlong military aristocratic group and Shandong cultural gentry group were proposed by Yue Shan, and they were quickly recognized by everyone.

The Guanlong military aristocratic group is Li Tang's most staunch ally and supporter, and Li Shimin naturally wants to do everything possible to win him over.

At least before the imperial examination system and the academic and political system are fully rolled out, he must rely heavily on bureaucrats from the Guanlong family.

The eldest grandson Wugou comforted him: "The lost mulberry elm is harvested in the east, and the old ministers left behind by the Supreme Emperor are also a huge force, and Duke Ying is a representative of it."

"If Da Lang accepts a daughter of the Wu family as his concubine, he can accept the hearts of these veterans, and his father will be very happy. Besides, he can also choose a suitable daughter from the Guanlong family as his side concubine, which can also reassure them."

Li Shimin sighed: "I can only think so."

Changsun Wugou heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Then that's the end of the matter?"

Li Shimin nodded first, then shook his head, and said: "The selection of the crown princess should not be so hasty, first look at the character and talent of this second lady Wu, and you should do this matter."

Changsun Wugou nodded and said: "This matter should be settled as soon as possible. Mr. Ying is going to Beijing to attend the Great Court Meeting, and he will leave Beijing to take office on the eighth day of the lunar new year. It is best to settle this matter before he leaves Beijing."

"Today is already the fifth day of the lunar new year... Tomorrow I will have a banquet in the Hanliang Hall for some court wives, and I will send someone to Ying Guogong's mansion to inform me later."

Li Shimin said: "Didn't Yue Cuilan want to sell it? Let him notify. If Wu's daughter is not suitable, let me see how I deal with him."

The couple decided this matter in a few words, but they didn't even consider whether the samurai Xun agreed.

On the other side, Yue Shan did not leave the imperial palace directly, but turned a corner and went to the Eastern Palace. He wanted to go to Li Chengqian to see the situation.Unfortunately, the guards of the East Palace told him that the prince had left the palace early in the morning.

Well, don't think about it, I must have gone to see the second lady Wu.

Speaking of which, Wu Zetian is only 12 years old this year.Tsk tsk, sure enough, ancient people were all legal lolicon.

On the other hand, this second lady Wu really deserves to be the future Emperor Zetian, who hooked Li Chengqian at the age of 12.

The disciples he trained knew that Li Chengqian might have many faults, but he was definitely not the kind of person who loves beauty.

Now he stopped doing business for three consecutive days to go shopping on the street every day for a woman, and even lied to his mother, which is too abnormal.

If it is true that Wu Zetian's beautiful country and city captivated Li Chengqian in just one meeting, Yue Shan would not believe it.The biggest possibility is that the second lady Wu used some means to find Li Chengqian's pulse, which made him want to stop.

If it were another 12-year-old girl, he would definitely not make such malicious speculations.But the other party is Emperor Zetian, and it is impossible to overestimate her IQ and EQ.

In the original history, after the warrior Xun died of illness, the two brothers Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang wantonly abused Yang, Wu Zetian and Wu Shun's mother and daughter.

The eldest brother is like a father, and when the warrior is dead, her elder brother can control her everything legally and decide her life and death, and she has no room to resist.

Her future seemed to be doomed, and she was given to a certain dignitary as a plaything by the Wu Yuanqing brothers.

But Wu Zetian was not reconciled to the fate of being trampled upon by others. She found a way out of the dead end, which was not a way of life - entering the palace.

Although the road is equally rough and more dangerous.

One year after the death of the samurai Xun, she resolutely chose to enter the palace at the age of 14-what courage.

Such a woman whose scheming and means are far beyond ordinary people, if people don't know the details, they will easily fall for her. In all likelihood, Li Chengqian fell into the pit she dug unprepared.

Although he didn't see it with his own eyes, Yue Shan is sure that the chance encounter between the two should be a real chance encounter, but everything that happened after that must have been secretly induced by Wu Zetian.

It's not that Li Chengqian is simply stupid or something, but he would never have thought that a 12-year-old girl would be so scheming and be led away by the nose without warning.

Li Chengqian is not in Yueshan and it is not suitable for him to stay in the East Palace. After thinking about it, he went to the Marquis Mansion to rest. After playing for a while, Li Chengqian came back to look for him.

What he didn't expect was that before it was time for lunch, the eunuch Ren Feng came over, and Changsun Wugou asked him to invite Mrs. Wu to the banquet held in Hanliang Hall tomorrow.

Yue Shan immediately understood what was going on.

Being prepared, he was not surprised by this result at all. After tidying up, he set off for Duke Ying's mansion.

It's time to meet the Great Zetian.
