Great Tang Southern Emperor

"I want to see and see." When Li Zhen said that his handwriting was poor, Chen Tianlu was quite dissatisfied, took the copybook and eagerly opened it, and then...

He silently closed the copybook again...

Chapter 908 Greedy boy, I don't want to talk to you

Chapter 268 Greedy boy, I don't want to talk to you

"Let's talk about the princess's second hobby." Chen Tianlu changed the topic stiffly. He thought that no matter how good the princess's handwriting should be, there should be a limit. I know so little...

"You're not confident anymore?" Li Zhen teased, jokingly, in terms of calligraphy, there are not many people in the entire Tang Dynasty who are opponents of Sizi. I have practiced calligraphy for ten years, and it is far inferior to you, who just came out of the laboratory. Science students, where do you get the confidence to compare calligraphy with Sizi?

A blush of embarrassment appeared on Chen Tianlu's face: "Stop rambling, speak quickly..."

"If you can't even do calligraphy, it's useless to say it second." Although Li Zhen said so, she still said it: "Sizi's second hobby is poetry, especially poetry. Yinci, if you have the ability in this area, you should be able to have a common language with Sizi, the question is... can you do this?"

"...I understand..." Chen Tianlu was silent for a moment, then raised his head and said, "I'm going back to practice calligraphy now, I must practice my calligraphy well."

What are you kidding?I am a man of science, if you ask me to compare the experimental data, I can speak clearly and logically, but if I write poetry...

You'd better forgive me, I'd better go back to practice calligraphy.

"That's right, if you want to pick up a girl, you must have common hobbies with her. Sizi's hobbies are only these two. As long as you can have one of them, you can talk to Sizi, have a common language, and then It will be easier to slowly cultivate the relationship." Li Zhen was very satisfied with Chen Tianlu's awareness, and shared her own experience.

At least he has a deep understanding of this. In order to attract a girl from the Department of Literature, he worked hard to practice poetry and poetry, learned from various schools of thought, and finally succeeded in embracing a beautiful woman. , finally found a common topic with the girl, and successfully won the beauty again...

This is a living experience~

However, Li Zhen overestimated Chen Tianlu's EQ after all. Just as he praised Chen Tianlu, Chen Tianlu frowned again: "But I still need to do experiments."

"..." Li Zhen wanted to cry now: "Let me ask you, is the wife or the experiment more important?"

"It must be my wife." Chen Tianlu didn't answer wrongly this time: "After all, there are three ways to be unfilial, and having no offspring is the greatest... But experiments are also very important... I am naturally indifferent, I don't care about anything, I only do experiments Only then can I find a trace of happiness..."

"Then you can only do hard work, doing experiments during the day and practicing handwriting at night. A real man has to be tough on himself, and he can only marry the princess after suffering." Li Zhen also knew that what Chen Tianlu said was true. But he had no other way to do this, so he had to encourage him: "Time is like water in a sponge, there will always be some squeezes. Besides, your experiment is mainly about cultivation, as long as there are no problems at the beginning and the end, the middle It doesn't matter if you leave, don't you have time?"

"But it's very tiring, and during the break, I have to think about the experiment."

"Then I can't help it." Li Zhen was also bored at this time, and said a little angrily: "You don't have time for the left sentence, and you don't have time for the right sentence. Since you don't have time, then don't pick up girls. You are so obsessed with experiments. Si, I don’t dare to marry my sister to you. Sizi is my most beloved sister. I don’t want my sister to marry a man who can only do experiments without a trace of emotion. It would be torture. I don’t want to Push my beloved sister into the fire pit?"

"You want Sizi to marry you again, but you don't even bother to spare a little time. A man like you deserves to be single for the rest of his life." Li Zhen got angry as she talked, and she had never seen such a person: "Since you like the laboratory , then you will live with the laboratory for the rest of your life. With your personality, even if you really marry a wife, you will not be able to give others happiness. If you meet another dishonest person like Gao Yang, you will be cuckolded sooner or later... ..."

Li Zhen was really furious, so much so that she was so unscrupulous that she even involved Gao Yang. Fortunately, there was no one around, and Chen Tianlu was not a talkative person, so Li Zhen was not worried that such words would spread.

The more I talked about it, the more Li Zhen felt perplexed, and said: "I'm really mad, you don't want to marry Sizi, it's just harming her if Sizi marries you, tomorrow I will suggest to my father that it is good to marry Sizi. People, Di Renjie is not bad, I'll talk to him as a matchmaker when I get back."

I've never seen anything like this before, they say you can't have both, Chen Tianlu wants to take care of the laboratory and marry a beautiful lady, Li Zhen dare not even think about such a good thing, you Chen Tianlu still want to have the best of both worlds ?You are so beautiful.

There are so many talents in the world, do you really think that you are the only one who is suitable for a son?Di Renjie is worthy of Sizi in terms of character and talent, and the age difference between the two is not much different, but he is much better than you.

After being reprimanded by Li Zhen, Chen Tianlu panicked instead: "Don't be angry, I know I was wrong, I know what to do, I will close the laboratory and go back to practice calligraphy."

"Go, go... you greedy boy who is not satisfied, I don't want to talk to you." Li Zhen waved his hand impatiently, and drove Chen Tianlu out.

"I'm so pissed off..." Li Zhenwu couldn't help himself, he had never seen anything like this before, and he was planning to give him two tricks, but now you should do it yourself.

And if you think about it carefully, this seems to be a job that offends others. No matter whether Chen Tianlu succeeds or not, he will offend others. If Chen Tianlu succeeds, with his character, Sizi will definitely not be happy. Li Zhen will definitely recruit Sizi If he fails, Chen Tianlu will definitely hate himself... So no matter whether he succeeds or not, he is not a human being at both ends, let Chen Tianlu do it himself, so that even if he fails, he can't blame himself.

"However, Di Renjie is indeed a very suitable candidate." If Li Zhen was angry at mentioning Di Renjie just now, now that I think about it carefully, Di Renjie is indeed a very suitable candidate for husband-in-law. First of all, his family is needless to say Well, it comes from the Di family in Taiyuan. Although it is not as good as the seven clans and five surnames, it is also a family of poetry and calligraphy.Secondly, not to mention his talent, as we all know, Di Renjie is a famous and virtuous official, he has served as the prime minister twice, throughout the internal history, if he does not have the ability, he will not be able to be the prime minister.Not to mention the character, if Di Renjie, the famous virtuous minister of the Tang Dynasty, hadn't been persuading him, maybe Wu Zetian would have made Wu Sansi the crown prince, and the country and society of the Tang Dynasty would really be cut off.As for the age issue, there is not much difference between the two. Di Renjie was born in 630, while Sizi was born in 634 (Note 1). The difference is only four years, which is undoubtedly very suitable.

Chapter 909

Chapter 269 It's not easy to be a son-in-law

"I just don't know if he's willing or not." Li Zhen sighed, "Probably he won't."

Li Zhen felt a little regretful. With Di Renjie's talent and pride, he probably would not agree to this marriage.

Since ancient times, the emperor's son-in-law has been difficult to be a son-in-law. Although the son-in-law has a noble status, the princess is the emperor's daughter. In this way, the son-in-law can't have three wives and four concubines, and can't ask his wife to obey the three virtues. Instead, he must obey the four virtues. Some son-in-laws Fortunately, the princess has a good personality, and the husband and wife can live in peace and order, but some are unlucky. You can't cuckold the princess, but the princess can cuckold you.Such as Gao Yang is not bad, Liu Chuyu, the princess of Shanyin in the Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty, thought that she had only a concubine and a husband to serve too little, so she asked the emperor's brother to find another twenty or thirty "face heads".

The son-in-law must be filial to his parents, so the son-in-law does not live with his wife. If the son-in-law wants to see his wife, he must first be "called" by the princess, so it is inconvenient to ask to see him all the time.If the princess wants to see her husband, she has to find some reason to call her, and then her servants run around to convey it, and rewards and money are also required...

This, this, this... It is unbelievable that the meeting between husband and wife still needs a middleman to communicate. If the relationship between the princess and the son-in-law is not good, it will be fine. If the relationship comes together, it is tantamount to breaking up a young couple alive. The husband and wife cannot meet each other all the time, and the two must be lovesick.

No wonder everyone doesn't want to be a son-in-law...

Among the many dynasties, especially the princesses of the Tang Dynasty, everyone avoided them like snakes and scorpions. There is a reason for this.

The first one is that most of the princesses in the Tang Dynasty were of bad conduct, and there were many strange flowers in particular. I don’t know if it was because of the bad family education of the Li and Tang royal families. Most princesses often showed bad morals. Not to mention, Gaozong's daughter Princess Taiping, Gaozu's daughter Princess Yongjia, Zhongzong's daughter Princess Anle, etc., almost every emperor's daughter has many such people, which can be said to have lost the royal family. face.

If you don't pay attention, you will put a big green hat on people. Everyone is a character with a head and face. How can there be face to face people?As an ordinary couple, if the wife makes mistakes, the husband can still say a few words, and even learn a lot.However, do you dare to scold the princess of the royal relatives?Not to mention hands-on experience, unless I don't want my head.

The second is the issue of family etiquette. The princess is the daughter of the emperor and has a noble status. Therefore, after she gets married, she often refuses to use the family etiquette at that time to perform family etiquette with her parents-in-law. The mother-in-law came to visit the daughter-in-law, which really violated the etiquette of family ethics.China is a nation that attaches great importance to etiquette. When a daughter-in-law marries into the family, she completely violates the family etiquette. Parents-in-law and mother-in-law dare not regard the princess as a younger daughter-in-law, but treat the married princess as their own grandmother. In the hearts of parents-in-law and mother-in-law, what is it actually like?

The third reason is that the princesses in the Tang Dynasty all had their salaries. After they got married, there was a princess mansion. The son-in-law was just a vassal in the mansion. After all, the Tang Dynasty was still an era where men were loyal. The princess mansion is almost equivalent to a door-to-door son-in-law, without any dignity. If the princess dies, the son-in-law will still have to guard the princess for three years. This is simply unbelievable, as long as a man can't stand this.

The fourth is that being a son-in-law will not allow you to fulfill your ambitions. In the Tang Dynasty, after a man married a princess, he had the official title of "Captain Prince Consort", so he was called a consort for short. This is an official under the fifth rank.In addition, generally speaking, after the consort and the princess get married, they will immediately add an official title of "third-rank official and foreign official".The third grade was a very high rank in the Tang Dynasty. The prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty were generally third-rank officials, because according to the practice of the Tang Dynasty, unless they really made great contributions like Guo Ziyi, otherwise the high-ranking officials of the first and second grades, It will not be awarded to officials easily, so it can be said that the third-rank official is the highest official rank in the Tang Dynasty.But the "three-rank official" is not the case. The so-called "Yuanwaiguan" in the Tang Dynasty refers to officials other than the original vacancy, that is, officials outside the official establishment. They are just a false title outside the establishment, not a formal official.Therefore, although the son-in-law has an official title, it is only a false official title and cannot be regarded as an official official at all.

Without a formal official position, how can we talk about revenge?It's no wonder that concubines don't live long, basically they die within a few years.

If you don’t believe me, you can take a look, let’s not talk about the pre-Qin ones. In the entire Chinese feudal dynasty for 2000 years, apart from Wei Qing and Chai Shao and other consorts of the early Tang Dynasty, only one emperor, Shi Jingtang, was considered a role.

However, among them, Wei Qing was the general first and then married the princess, and Chai Shao also married Li Xiuning before Li Yuan became emperor. It happened after I became a princess, but that was only possible in troubled times, but this is a soft-boned emperor who ruined the traitorous emperor of Yanyun Sixteen States. Thinking about it, it is really ridiculous.

Although the other sons-in-law are famous, most of them left their names in history for other reasons, but none of them really took revenge (for example, Guo Ziyi’s son Guo Ai, was named in history because he Beat Princess Shengping, and Wang Xianzhi, he was able to keep his name because his handwriting is better, it has nothing to do with talent, and most of the rest are like this).

It can be seen how difficult it is to take revenge after becoming a son-in-law. Di Renjie is talented enough. Of course, he would not want to marry a princess and be an idler for the rest of his life.

"Pey coal, after much deliberation, this brat is actually the most suitable." In the end, Li Zhen deliberated, and there was only one Chen Tianlu who really wanted to marry the princess. Anyone with a little bit of ambition is unwilling to marry an ancestor to go home as a sacrifice. Now it is rare that there is one who is willing to take the initiative to marry a princess and has made great contributions. He is really the most suitable one.

It's just that Chen Tianlu's personality is not good. At first glance, he is the kind of experienced tech nerd who can stay in the laboratory for a year as long as there are experiments to do. This is definitely not what Li Zhen wants to see.

Therefore, if Chen Tianlu wanted to marry the princess, he could, but he had to change his temperament, otherwise even if Li Shimin agreed to the marriage, Li Zhen would not agree.

Chapter 910 Hou Junji's Anger

Chapter 2 Seventy: Hou Junji's Anger

Nanyang Annan Road.

Annan Road is the former homeland of Linyi Kingdom. Datang now established an Annan Road here, and the government is no better. It is in Sangapura, the old capital of Linyi...

Well, of course, this place is not called this name now, it is now called Sengzhou, centered on Sengzhou, with a radius of [-] miles including Fuchun Port, it is a well-known political and economic center in Nanyang, and almost [-]% of it is Merchants or slave traders will choose to dock here or go to sea.

The Nanyang Guard General's Mansion was established here, and this is also the lair of Hou Junji.

After returning here, Hou Junji breathed a sigh of relief—God knows how terrified he was when Li Shimin found out about the arms smuggling case. The moment he heard the news, he immediately changed his mind. direction, turned around and turned back to his lair, and hurried along the way, for fear that the army of the court would follow him. Fortunately, the court's reaction was a little slower after all, and he came back safely after all.

"Hou Ding, go and invite Mr. Li." Hou Junji returned to the General's Mansion, and before taking a breather, he invited over the hostages that the other party had pledged to him.
