Settle Down In Tang Dynasty

After entering the palace, the sage is playing polo in the palace. The weather in these days is the most comfortable. It is neither cold nor hot. It is not as sweaty as summer, nor as susceptible to cold and illness as winter.

The sage, the prince, the king of Qin and the king of Qi played against the bodyguards. Seeing the arrival of Princess Pingyang and Xue Lang, the sage said happily, "can Pingyang join the team?"

Princess Pingyang today wore a skirt, the kind of broad robe and big sleeves, and declined. The king of Qin said, "You Yang enters the palace, but what's the matter? Father, what if you don't wait for Youyang to finish his business before continuing? "

The crown prince directly asked Xue Lang, "is the affairs of Youyang urgent? If you are not in a hurry, it's not too late to wait until the game is over. My father seldom has time to play polo. It's better not to let him down. "

Xue Lang some egg ache, but still honest said: "return to the prince, not how anxious."

The king of Qin obviously didn't agree with him. What should he say? The sage had already said with a smile: "since you are not in a hurry, you should play for a while. Youyang and so on. It's just that you can't learn how to play polo because you're a good man!"

Xue Lang said with a bitter face: "the sage, Polo is simple, but it is difficult to ride a horse. It is better to practice archery well to learn how to play polo, so as to save the next year's shooting ceremony and be the penultimate one!"

The sage laughed and said, "that's reasonable. You should practice your bow skill well! Let's go, boys, and let's go after this fight! "

"Here it is

The four of them drove their horses into the court and continued the game. Xue Lang and Princess Pingyang sat under the pavilion beside the court. When her father and brothers had run away, Pingyang princess said, "you know, the eldest brother's crown princess is from the Zheng's daughter in Xingyang?"

Xue Lang nodded to show that he knew. He did know that it was written in the history books that the Zheng family in Xingyang was so famous that the world was proud to marry the daughters of five surnames and seven clans. A prime minister of the Tang Dynasty once said that the greatest regret in life was not to marry a woman with five surnames.

However, the Zheng's daughter in Xingyang is not only not easy to marry, but also has a bad temper. The near Prince Jiancheng's brother also married Zheng's daughter. As a result, he was kicked out of the house by his new wife on the first night of marriage.

Far away is Yang Su of the former dynasty, a famous minister in history, who also married Zheng's daughter. However, the Zheng lady was not very good-natured, so Yang Su spoke directly. If he was emperor, she would not have made Zheng the queen.

As soon as Zheng heard this, he was very brave and told Yang Su directly to Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty. As a result, Yang Su was denounced by Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, but Zheng had nothing to do with it.

Princess Pingyang said, "it's good for Youyang to know."

Xue Lang nodded. He was not interested in watching the polo match. His brain hole could not help but lean to the wives of Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin -

Jiancheng married Zheng's daughter in Xingyang, and Li Shimin married changsun's. If we regard it as noble and noble, there are only a few women of Zheng's family in the world. According to the psychological works of later generations, the origin of Zheng's daughter, the crown prince's concubine, is of course proud of Zheng's reputation in the world. She will be proud of her status, and will not be arrogant and rude in her life. However, those beloved concubines in Li Yuan's harem can't afford to please others. All along, only other people please Zheng's family. There is no reason for Zheng to please others. Therefore, in order to consolidate his position, Li Jiancheng, the prince, chose the harem to please his father. When he took the route of the Imperial Palace, he could only come by himself.

According to the ancient etiquette theory, Li Jiancheng, as an adult son, should avoid suspicion of his father's harem. In order to consolidate his position, Li Jiancheng, who chose to take the route of the Imperial Palace, is actually his wife and Crown Princess Zheng's.

However, Zheng was born in a well-known family. How could Zheng lay down his stature and pride to please those concubines and treat them with a kind face is to be polite.

Therefore, the hard pressed Prince Jiancheng can only go to battle in person, thus, there is the argument of "Yin" chaos in the harem. The so-called fly does not bite seamless eggs, the prince himself is not upright, just gave the opportunity to say.

On the contrary, Li Shimin's changsun family, the princess of Li Shimin, is quite different from the prince's concubine Zheng's. Knowing that Li Shimin and Li Yuan's concubines and concubines have a bad relationship, the changsun family can "serve the ancestors with filial piety, obey the concubines, try their best to mend the gap and help them in an inch". When the Xuanwumen incident happened, Li Shimin led the Jiashi into the palace, and his eldest grandson went to the front to comfort and encourage the soldiers. The generals were grateful.

No matter how talented Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin are, Xue Lang appreciates changsun more than his wife. The so-called husband and wife integration, or Li Shimin and changsun more closely. Prince and Princess If you gain, you lose!

After thinking for a while, the sage also came down from the court and went to the back palace to bathe and change clothes. The king of Qi went out of the Palace first, while the prince and the king of Qin stayed. When the sage came back from the bath, everyone went to the Zichen hall. The sage said, "Youyang has been waiting for a long time. What's going on in the palace?"

Xue long could not help but make complaints about the Tucao that he was about to fill up. Su Rong said, "to return to the sage, as the auction date is approaching, all the people who are interested in participating in auctioneers are coming to Changan. The minister has registered the origin and identity of the people who are interested in the auction. Here is the list of the saints."

Xiaohuangmen took the list from Xue Lang and presented it to the sage. The sage took it and said with a smile, "there are so many more than I thought. You are more active than I thought. I will reward and reward Youyang after I finish my work."Xue Lang said solemnly: "thank you for the little things. I don't dare to make contributions. Please look at them again."

The sage was slightly stunned, looked again and again. He finally saw the way. The smile on his face disappeared. His expression was somewhat dignified. He turned his head to the prince and said, "look at the completion."

"Here it is

The prince took it over and looked at it with some doubts. The sage said, "look at Erlang, too."

The king of Qin took over and watched it. After the two brothers finished reading, the sage asked, "darang, Erlang, what do you think of this list?"

The prince hesitated a little, and said, "looking at the people who want to participate, most of them are aristocratic families and prefectures."

The sage nodded and asked the king, "what about Erlang?"

The king of Qin said: "aristocratic families and aristocratic families are deeply rooted. If we do not take measures to restrain them, we will have serious problems in our hearts."

Hearing this, the crown prince reacted instantly, took the list and looked at it again. His expression was dignified. He said, "however, these aristocratic families have accumulated for generations, and their wealth is very important. As long as the auction is held, few people can match it."

Xue Lang sighed in his heart. The prince and the king of Qin A high score!

From their speeches, we can see the differences in their personalities.

looking at the measures taken since the crown prince and the king of Qin competed for the throne, we can see the differences in their strategic vision. Li Shimin is a man of foresight and foresight in times of peace, while the Crown Prince Li Jiancheng is far from far sighted in his strategies during the struggle with Li Shimin. Compared with Li Shimin, who is tough and resolute, the crown prince is too benevolent, and those who are too benevolent often make insufficient decisions and are indecisive.
