Rebirth of Tang Dynasty as a dad

Let's get down to business, His Majesty has already approved your marriage with the princess. This time you have made great contributions, His Majesty will grant you the title of earl and grant you a mansion with the specifications of a marquis. You can see the meaning, right? That's what's expected of you.

So don't stay here, return to Chang'an as soon as possible, and your marriage with the princess can be put on the agenda earlier, otherwise people in Chang'an city will gossip about the princess. "

Du Shaoqing listened to Wei Zheng's words, knowing that Old Wei must have helped to speak, so Du Shaoqing saluted and thanked him.

"By the way, before we returned to Chang'an, an incident happened in the city. The old man thought it was related to you. He said that Sun Chong, the heir of the Duke of Qi, was given a huge amount of aphrodisiacs, indulged in excessive sex, and almost died in a brothel.

I remember when you were outside the city of Youzhou, you asked the assassin to go back and retaliate against his employer. Could it be that the employer was Chang Sun Chong? " Wei Zheng asked.

Du Shaoqing sneered and said, "Who else could it be? I don't even need to ask to know it's him."

"It's really unreasonable. As the son of the Duke, he sent someone to assassinate the minister of disaster relief. He is really daring. I must report this matter to His Majesty truthfully. This person is vicious. He murdered Zhongliang and ignored the plague disaster. He should be killed!" Wei Zheng cursed angrily.

"Okay, old Wei, that's the queen's nephew, the eldest son of Changsun Wuji, who would dare to kill him? You are upright, yes, but you don't want to offend Changsun Wuji to death, right? I was punished, so be it, I don't want to make that old fox covet me." Du Shaoqing pressed Wei Zheng to persuade him.

Wei Zheng said indignantly: "Changsun Wuji, as an important minister in the court, is this how he educated his son?

But you have to be careful, there are rumors that Changsun Chong has been barren since then, and now Changan is still investigating the real culprit, maybe Changsun Wuji will know about you through the Xuanjia Army, and I will hate you for killing Changsun Chong. After that, I'm afraid it's not a good thing. "

Du Shaoqing nodded, and said indignantly: "See, I don't want to go to Chang'an to meddle in the government affairs. The water is too deep and the fight is too fierce. Even so, I was still involved, and I couldn't even hide. villain."

Wei Zheng smiled, and said comfortingly, "Since you know you can't escape, why don't you ride the waves? I've been in court for more than 20 years, and I've seen the ups and downs of countless dazzling players.

Summed up a truth, if you don't want to be drowned by the water, only you have the ability to control the sea and divide the river. There is no impenetrable wall in the world, and the root of hatred has been planted. If you don't want to be shot to death by others, only you are stronger than the other party. powerful. "

Du Shaoqing smiled at the hint from the lovely old man in front of him. Wei Zheng is a good man, and he sees the court situation more thoroughly than himself.

"Okay, let me think about it. It's settled. You will stay here for a few days anyway. I'll make two side dishes and let's have a few drinks."

After going out, Du Shaoqing found his daughter and handed the little tiger cub to her. Who knew that the little guy was unwilling to get close to Du Xuanxuan, which made Du Shaoqing very puzzled.

"Xuanxuan, are you bullying little Miaomiao? Is he so afraid of you?" Du Shaoqing asked.

"No, I was just discussing with Sister Xizi to exchange our big little Miaomiao for her small one, and then the little Miaomiao was scared away."

Xuanxuan's words were awkward, and Sizi corrected her, "You can't call yours Little Miaomiao anymore, for such a big man, you have to call him Big Miaomiao.

I also don't want your big meow, it's too big to hold. "

Du Shaoqing patted his forehead, silly daughter, our family is a tiger cub, if you exchange it with someone else for a kitten, wouldn't that be a death penalty?Fortunately, the buyer was also foolish enough not to change it, otherwise he would have been heartbroken to death.

"Okay, okay, you stupid bastard, we won't sell you, just protect Xuanxuan well." Du Shaoqing reprimanded the little tiger cub in his arms, and then said to his daughter: "We big Miaomiao grows fast, and will grow into a big tiger in the future, so it would be nice to let him be your horse when the time comes, so you don’t need to hold him hard, he will carry you wherever he goes.”

Sure enough, after saying this, the little girl immediately became interested, she no longer hated the little tiger cub, and started to please the little tiger cub after snatching it from her father's arms.

As soon as Xiao Sizi heard that Little Miaomiao could ride a horse, her eyes lit up. She looked at the little tiger cub, and then at the kitten in her arms. She suddenly felt that there was such a big gap, and her intestines turned green with regret. .

Abandoning his little kitten, he cried out loudly, "No, I also want a little meow who can ride a horse."

When the princess who was tidying up in the room heard this, her younger sister was provoked into tears, and she hurried out to greet her. Du Shaoqing felt his head was getting bigger, and the two children started to fight over the toys right now?Sure enough, as the old saying goes, it's hard to lead a big team.

Chapter 177

The days of living in seclusion in Luoxia Town are quite memorable. Wei Zheng thought it was a good place to retire here, but before he could stay here for a few days, the imperial court sent someone to look for Du Shaoqing again. The person who came was an old acquaintance, Xuan General Li Junxian of the Jia Army.

When Du Shaoqing went out to greet him, he was still joking: "I knew that everyone would come to my house one after another, so it would be better to lead the team to transfer from Huazhou, and be a companion on the road."

But Li Junxian didn't have the mood to make fun of him again, and said anxiously: "Genius doctor, something has happened, Songtsan Gampo, a small country in the southwest, sent envoys to Tang Dynasty recently, claiming to ask for a princess, and asked to marry five Princess Changle who was not married years ago.

Your Majesty asked me to inform you to return to Chang'an quickly. "

What did you say? ? ?Du Shaoqing exclaimed, "Please make it clear, Tubo proposes marriage? Songtsan Gampo? Do you want Princess Changle or Princess Cheng?"

"Princess Changle, not Princess Cheng." Li Junxian repeated.

Du Shaoqing was stunned, he was really sitting at home, and the disaster came from the sky, "Then what did His Majesty say? Did you agree?"

"That's not true. The other party has obvious intentions and a firm attitude. In addition, many people in the court want to support it, so it is very difficult for Your Majesty. Let me find you and Prime Minister Wei to go back."

"By the way, you just said five years ago, what happened five years ago?"

Holding Li Junxian's hand and walking into the inn, the other party hesitated for a moment, but still opened his mouth to explain.

It turns out that Tubo came to propose to the Tang Dynasty five years ago. At that time, Princess Changle was the only princess of the right age in the palace. She was still His Majesty's favorite princess. Living.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the princess disappeared from the palace. In the end, the two countries broke up on this matter. I heard that there was a small friction at the border because of this.

Du Shaoqing said angrily: "So five years later, the other party's heart will not die? He came to ask for marriage again, and named Princess Changle? Well, very well, this is coming for me, Du Shaoqing, and all married women will snatch her away? I really don't know what to do. "

Li Junxian couldn't answer these words. In fact, why did he think Tubo came for Du Shaoqing?Nobody knows you.

"Madam, madam, pack up and move." Du Shaoqing shouted from the backyard.

Li Junxian said anxiously: "Genius doctor, Your Majesty is still waiting for you to go back to handle official business, you can't just walk away!"

"Where did you go? I packed up and went to Chang'an together. Do you think I'm going to be a deserter?"

In the afternoon of that day, Du Shaoqing took his wife and daughter to Chang'an, accompanied by Wei Zheng, Li Junxian, and Du's mother Qi, and the others did not take them with them. Li Chengqian had a leg injury and continued to stay for recuperation, and Du He insisted on staying to take over the inn. In the end, Du Shaoqing could only let it go.

At the south gate of Chang'an City, Li Ke was already waiting, "Brother Du, my father ordered me to lead you to the newly built mansion to settle down, and then let you enter the palace quickly. He is waiting for you to pass."

The princess poked her head out of the carriage and said with a smile: "Third brother, although my husband is two years older than you, you should still be called brother-in-law."

"Hahahaha, that's right, Fifth Sister is right. The third brother is called Shunzui, and now we are a family. But Fifth Sister, you still have to bring your children to live in the palace. Father said that you are not officially married yet. You can't live with your brother-in-law openly." Li Ke quickly changed his words.

Well, this is the reason why Li Ke came to greet him in person, Du Shao said with a clear heart, how could the prince wait for someone specially?

In the Palace of Political Affairs, Emperor Li Er had been waiting for a long time, watching Du Shaoqing come in with great interest, Li Er was secretly proud of himself, this time you kid can't be lazy at last.

"You've heard everything, what do you think? I have already agreed to the matter between you and Wu'er, so naturally I can't agree to Tubo's marriage proposal, but this time the other party is not kind, and it's not the first time, you Is there any way?" Li Er said seriously.

Du Shaoqing was puzzled and said: "Datang doesn't owe him anything to Tubo, and his military strength is stronger than them. He is not afraid of opponents at all. Why should he get married? There is no need for a woman to exchange peace, so why not just blow him away?"

Hearing this, Li Er said angrily: "Bastard, do you think civilians are fighting? Marriage is not just a way to exchange peace. People come to propose marriage to stabilize and strengthen diplomatic relations. The two countries have become relatives by marriage. Naturally, the relationship is different from others. Yes. Another form of alliance may be more reliable than a covenant in this era."

Du Shaoqing spread his hands, "So, His Majesty intends to marry his daughter? Then I don't care, as long as I don't marry Changle."

"You, I asked you to come here as a planner, what's your attitude?

The princess of the right age is Chengyang except Changle, or she can only choose a daughter from the clan to marry. I don't want to marry my daughter to suffer in the bitter cold of Tubo, but many people in the court think that marrying Tubo is very important for stabilizing the southwest. There is help, but there is also pressure here. The Tubo envoy Lu Dongzan is running around again. It seems that they came prepared this time. "

After thinking for a while, Du Shaoqing explained: "No matter what others think, from the perspective of me as a small citizen, it was a shame to marry a princess in person. Since the small country came to seek peace, they sent a princess to enrich the harem of your majesty. Is it also a marriage?

Now that Datang is being forced to marry his daughter, it seems that the other party is a big country. "

Li Er got down from the dragon chair, looked at Du Shaoqing with a smile as he walked, and said, "Don't you really understand? Tubo is threatening that if they don't marry their daughter, they will send troops to the southwest, and the people will suffer when the war breaks out." , this is Datang's weakness."

"Can't our Tang Dynasty beat the opponent?" Du Shaoqing asked.
