Settle Down In Tang Dynasty

After all the officials of the princess's mansion were dispersed, the prince said to Wei Zheng, "Xuancheng has been accompanying me all the way. The journey is very tiring. Let's go down and have a rest first. My sister and I share the friendship of brothers and sisters. Xuancheng is not required to accompany me."

"Here it is. I'm leaving. "

Wei Zheng respectfully responded, saluted and retired.

Their subordinates all retired, leaving only their close servants to wait on them. Princess Pingyang told Chu Xue, "make a cup of ginseng tea for the prince, and go to get tired."

"Here it is."

Chu Xue takes ginseng out of the cupboard and now slices it for brewing.

The prince sat down at the head of the throne and said to Princess Pingyang, "A-Mei is much less than when I met in Chang'an last year. Weize pass is very miserable. Let's wait for the injury to be better. Go back to Chang'an. The sage has been thinking about her all the time. If a-mei can go home, the sage will be happy."

There was a sense of concern in his words, but there was a dignified manner of elder brother in his manner, unconsciously with some command.

Princess Pingyang said: "a few days ago, Erlang was the saint's envoy. He told the sage that he wanted me to return to Beijing. I have ordered his subordinates to prepare for returning to Chang'an. As soon as the successor arrives, he will set out to return to Chang'an. He is expected to spend a reunion year with the sage in Chang'an."

"That's good."

The crown prince praised: "A-Mei is still young. When you return to Chang'an, you can ask the sage to choose a son-in-law for you and recruit a good son-in-law. The husband and wife will join hands to talk about the relationship between heaven and earth. It will be good for you in the future."

Princess Pingyang lowered her head, neither speaking nor opposing. But she didn't want to see her son-in-law

Pingyang princess looked at her and said, "the kindness of the elder brother is the best of my younger sister. However, her husband's words are still in my ear. How dare you get married and recruit your husband's son-in-law! Who dares to be my son-in-law? "

The prince's expression was stagnant and said, "it's just a foolish man's and a fool's wife's words. Why does A-Mei still keep it in mind? Nothing, you are a saint's legitimate daughter, gold and jade, how can you worry about marriage? Ah ye and Wei elder brother are here. Who do you want to be the emperor's son-in-law? You can say clearly that Aya and I will make decisions for you. "

Pingyang Princess Yifu said, "thank you very much. I'll talk about it after I go back to Chang'an."

The prince nodded, his eyes full of complicated color, sighed: "it has been many years since I heard my brothers and sisters call me a big brother."

"It was sister Chen who made a mistake. Please forgive me."

Princess Pingyang quickly pleaded guilty. The prince shook his head and sighed, "you and I are brothers and sisters of a mother's compatriots. Why are we so divided? Are you and Erlang the same? "

Princess Pingyang said, "the eldest brother is the crown prince, for the sake of the crown prince. My younger sister dares not to transgress. Erlang is the king of Qin. He is just like me, so he can be called by his name. "

After hearing this, the prince was silent for a moment, and then said, "although you are not in Chang'an these years, you have been smart since you were young, and you have acted in accordance with the rules. It must be that the situation in Beijing cannot be concealed from you. Do you know about my affair with Erlang? "

Said, eyes sharp stare at Pingyang princess, Pingyang princess also does not avoid, calm way: "little sister knows."

"However, who do you support?" the prince asked quickly

Princess Pingyang raised her head, looked directly at the prince, and asked directly, "the prince is my elder brother, Erlang is my younger brother. The prince, Erlang and I are all my own. One mother is a compatriot. The palm and the back of the hand are flesh. The prince asks the minister sister so. How can she answer this question

The crown prince said in a sharp voice: "you can answer what you think in your heart."

Princess Pingyang stopped talking.

The prince was so angry that he stood up and kicked over the table in front of him. He said angrily, "you don't answer, but in fact you support the people in your heart? You are the master of Shimin, and you teach the calligraphy by yourself. Your affection is different from others. Li Jianling, you support Shimin in in your heart, right? "

"Prince, be careful

Princess Pingyang also stood up, saluted and said calmly: "the matter of reserve is related to the state of the country. There is room for sages and courtiers to discuss and decide. What is the room for a woman to talk about! The crown prince said so, but it is a hard nut to crack

"What makes a man difficult?"

Looking disappointed, the prince said angrily, "I am the eldest son of the sage. There is no loss of morality or propriety, and there is no mistake in the administration of the state. Above the etiquette and rules, I am the natural successor of the sage. I sit on the throne, which is orthodox, consistent with the rites, and it is natural and natural. You are my sister in law. You are from all walks of life. You should know the etiquette and rules. Why don't you say that the successor of the first born son is orthodox

Princess Pingyang did not speak, but bowed down to salute, silent to.

The prince was disappointed and said, "Jianling, in your heart, is there any kind of kinship between Weiwei and Shimin? You know, even if you don't explicitly support Shimin and only stand on the neutral side, as for elder brother, you also support Shimin and deny the natural inheritance right of elder brother, the legitimate eldest son. "

Finish saying, the prince a meal, lament: "Jianling, so many years, do you really regard as a brother as a legitimate brother?"

"Brother, be careful

Look up at the prince. The prince was very angry and said with a smile: "is it true that you are brother? I know that you have been in contact with Shimin for so many years. With your wisdom, don't tell me that you can't see that he has a heart for reserve? "

Facing the prince's sad and angry eyes, the Duke of Pingyang refused to let him go. He said directly, "my younger sister saw that she was under pressure. She often admonished Erlang. The eldest brother is the legitimate brother of one of our mother's compatriots, so he should have the heart of being elder and younger. However, Erlang is no longer a child. He has his own thoughts. How can he listen to me in everything! What the crown prince said is difficult for others, but it's hard for me to do it! What's more, why doesn't the prince introspect himself and instead shift the responsibility to others? "The prince said angrily, "what responsibility do I have? If Erlang is a younger brother and has no elder brother at all, it is regarded as unfaithful and unjust if he ignores the elders and children and covets the throne of the prince! "

Princess Pingyang looked directly at the prince and asked calmly, "however, Erlang is gifted, has always been talented, diligent and studious, and has a good way of doing things. Are these things only happened today? Isn't Erlang always like this since he was a child? "

The crown prince opened his mouth and was unable to refute.

Princess Pingyang continued: "the crown prince is the foundation of our country. He will succeed to the throne and govern the world in the future. However, in the whole world, the talent is outstanding and the talent is outstanding. Although it is not the crucian carp crossing the river, it is not rare. As a king, the crown prince should be broad-minded. Why did he lose his confidence and propriety in the face of the outstanding performance of the people, so that he was in a dilemma? "

"I..."

The prince had no words to refute for a moment, but could only keep silent.

Regardless of the prince's silence, Princess Pingyang continued: "the prince is the king and the people are ministers. The way of a king is to know people and make good use of them. The only thing for you to do is to be happy and appoint them. Where is the truth of fear? Why did the prince lose his confidence and confidence in the people? Based on Liu heikai's expedition, the so-called son of thousands of gold is sitting in the hall, and the crown prince's gold is noble and precious. Can it be compared with thousands of gold? Why did the prince speak lightly of his own expedition? In the eyes of my younger sister, it's not right to be so bold! "

The prince was speechless. He sighed and said, "my sister is right. However, you are not in the court. You don't know the pressure of your brother. Shimin is not only gifted, but his talent is so excellent. Compared with him, he is like a bright moon and a tiny star. As the crown prince, I'm not as good as my own brother. Sister, how can you make my brother sit down? How to face the eyes of the officials? "

Princess Pingyang sighed softly, and finally softened her voice. She said with deep heart: "elder brother, you are the crown prince, the legitimate eldest son of the sage and Aung. I am the natural successor of the Tang Dynasty. There are no demerits or mistakes. Why don't you dare to sit in the court hall? No matter how excellent Shimin is, he is also the second son. Since the prince has both talent and moral integrity and is the legitimate eldest son, he can sit down in the court with dignity. Why is he afraid of Erlang's excellence? The prince should show his dignity as a king! If the prince himself is guilty and short of breath, what do you want the courtiers to think? "

The prince's face changed -

Yes, if he felt guilty and afraid of the people of the upper world, his servants would naturally feel guilty about the king of Qin. And his such a guilty attitude, in the eyes of a man of insight, is not a state of inaction?

Looking at his face, Princess Pingyang knew that he had understood. She sighed: "elder brother, the weather is favorable, the place is favorable, and the people are on your side. Why are you afraid of the talents of the people? Only one person can't be a prince! "

The prince's face changed again, and his face was full of regret. Princess Pingyang sighed: "my sister's words are complete here. I hope the crown prince will think twice and act later. Chen Mei is still injured. Her energy is hard to continue. She can't accompany the prince. Please go to another hospital to have a rest. "

The prince nodded and said nothing. He just waved his hand and looked like he was out of his wits. He went to another hospital with his relatives.

Princess Pingyang looked at his bewildered appearance and sighed sadly, hoping that he could really listen to her words today and try to understand and correct herself. The tragedy of fraternity is not only her, but also the aunt who is under the nine springs.
