Royal rice bug, worm worm!

Li Hong is the first person in all ages to propose marriage by imperial decree and his own son to be the ceremony official.

In this way, Zheng Jiarou is still willing to marry.

She has never been a weak person, on the contrary, she is rational and sober, always knowing when to be patient and when to be fearless.

At this point, Li Xi followed her.

Outside the gate are the sixteen guards of the imperial city.

Inside the courtyard are the young and old of the Zheng family.

Li Xi handed the edict to Zheng Jiarou, and said in a voice that everyone could hear: "Mother, the next period may be a bit difficult, don't worry, the saint will come to pick you up soon, even if he If you don’t come, your son will come too.”

"Okay." Zheng Jiarou smiled. In front of him, she wouldn't shed a single tear.

Li Xi poked Hu Jiao, "I need to trouble Sister to stay here for a few days and protect my mother."

With a sound of "Sister", Hu Jiao turned her head in an instant, "Don't worry, Xiaobao, if someone dares to touch the Jun Jun with a finger, I will ask him to use his whole hand to pay for it!"

Not only did he speak harshly, but he also grabbed the large fish tank next to him, raised and threw it, and there was a "crash", and the smelly water splashed all over the Zheng family.

A water hyacinth was hung on the head of the Patriarch of the Zheng family standing in the front.

The Zheng family was full of anger, but they didn't dare to say a word.

Li Xi giggled: "It's too violent, what did Little Goldfish do wrong?"

Hu Jiao thought for a moment, yes, she ran over to catch goldfish.

The Zheng family backed away again and again in fright.

Li Xi was very satisfied, he gave Zheng Jiarou some instructions in a murmur, and then left Feilongwei to protect her, and then returned to the palace in a hurry.

On the second day, the hall was lively.

Yushitai was divided into two waves. One wave was headed by Yushi Zhongcheng Cui Yuan, who pretended to be dead with his head stuck in his head; Some criticize Cui Yuan as the mouthpiece of a saint and not worthy of being an admonisher.

——No one scolded Li Xi.

Because of habit.

Xiao Fu Wang has been such a person since he was a child, and it is useless to scold him.

Now that he was being scolded, Cui Yuan stopped pretending to be dead, and said in a good temper: "Then I should risk my life to admonish one - saint, you can't make Changning Junjun your queen, it's against etiquette."

Li Hong raised his eyebrows, "What's wrong?"

Cui Yuan let out a cry of surprise, and looked at his immediate superior, "Yes, may I ask Dr. Xu, what is wrong with etiquette when a sage becomes empress? Why do you have to be an official to give advice?"

The doctor Yushi said coldly: "The Zheng family has an ancestor's precept that women should not marry the royal family. What's more, the Changning County Lord is a second-married person, how can he be worthy of being a queen?"

Li Xi didn't like to listen to it, "The Zheng family has the ancestral precepts, and my great cause also has the national law! Mr. Xu, do you think it is the Zheng family's ancestors who taught the great, or the great cause of the national law?"

Doctor Xu frowned, "What does this have to do with national law?"

"Of course it has something to do with it. Didn't the "Daye Law" say that there is freedom in reconciliation and freedom, and freedom in marriage? It has nothing to do with the admonisher and Zongzheng Temple!"

Minister Zongzhengsi: "..."

The conscience of heaven and earth, we didn't say a word.

Dr. Xu blew his beard and stared, "What kind of "Daye Law", could it be that King Fu made it up himself?"

"It's terrible to be uneducated. Wei Shaoqing, you come and teach him." Across half of the court, Li Xi winked at his queen-to-be.

Wei Yu came out with a smile in his eyes, "What King Fu said is true. There is a saying in the "Daye Law Marriage Code": After the two parties agree, they can reconcile and divorce; put one's oar in."

"Did you hear that? Don't interfere!"

Doctor Yushi is quite smart, and he was not involved by these two people, "No one else can interfere, the head of the Zheng family should be able to do it, right? Changning County Lord intends to disobey the elders?"

"I just said that the laws of the country are greater than the family rules, and the imperial edict has been sent to the Zheng family. Does the head of the Zheng family want to resist the edict?"

Li Xi glanced at him, and turned on the personal attack mode: "Dr. Xu must not be confused, right? I forgot what I just said. You really feel that your physical strength is not enough, or you can go home and enjoy the happiness." , the seat of Doctor Yushi is given to Cui Zhongcheng, he is still young!"

Doctor Yu Shi... died.

The second wave of people rushed up, talking about the saint's succession.

"The sage is the king of a country, and the future queen is the mother of the country and the world? How can a woman's example be a second marriage?"

Li Hong suppressed his anger and said: "I have already issued an edict on this matter. Lord Changning obeyed the late emperor's order and pretended to be husband and wife with Cui Qing, so what if it is a second marriage? I married her, which is also regarded as obeying the first emperor. One's last wish, to make up for the unfinished gift."

The officials looked at each other, expressing their disbelief.

Li Hong sneered and said: "I have nothing to tell you about marrying my own wife, but I don't want to marry by force, lest someone scold my beloved wife. Otherwise, I will establish a prince and pass the throne to him. ? Going to marry a wife and have children is irrelevant to you, right?"

The ministers looked at each other, are you kidding me?

"I think it's very good. Since you don't want my mother to be the queen, let her be the queen mother."

Li Xibu stared blankly, with a smirk on his face, "However, you have to think about it. Do you want a saint who is not very smart but works hard? Or do you want a saint who is extremely smart but not so smart?" If you do the right thing, you will only be a saint who opposes you every day."

Li Hong: "..."

Beat? Die forget it.

Someone raised his voice and said, "King Fu is sure that the position of prince belongs to you? Where do you put Prince Gong?"

The second prince was watching a play, and suddenly he was named, and the boss was upset, "Don't sow discord here, Xiaobao just wants to reunite his parents, the prince is not a son, isn't he rushed here by your words?"

Li Xi winked at him, "It's still my second brother who is transparent."

The second prince smiled and squinted, "It's easy to talk about."

As if they were good brothers, they slapped some people in the face severely.

Wei Yu held his hand and brought the topic back to the right path: "The post of the great cause has been vacant for 16 years, it should have been settled long ago. The saint has a long love and a promise. Over the years, he has not only lived up to the affection of Changning Junjun, but also not violated the late emperor. His entrustment, both public and private, is an example for future generations.”

"Now, 16 years have finally passed. The reunion of the emperor and empress, the dragon and the phoenix singing in harmony, could not be carried out because of everyone's obstruction. The history is like iron, and I think I will definitely write down today's theory of the court? .”

Tai Shiling held his hand and said, "What Wei Shaoqing said is very true."

Wei Yu glanced around the court, "I just don't know how future generations will comment."

A sigh.

The huge hall was silent.

What else can I say?

What dare to say?

If you say anything again, you will be a villain, a rebellious minister, and you will stop the saint from doing righteousness and keeping your promises!

Wei Shaoqing, Wei Shaoqing, it's a good thing that you didn't enter Yushitai, otherwise the combined civil and military affairs of the whole dynasty would not be able to match you? Open your mouth!

However, you cannot admit defeat.

The head of the Zheng family is a representative of Shandong Confucianism, a model of scholars in the world, and his supporters have been arranged from Chang to Tubo. If he is really forced to jump to the Qujiang River, there will be no need for future generations. !

The debate stalled for a while.

The critical moment is too late.

Li Hong hurriedly got up and gave up the dragon chair.

The queen mother waved her hand, and only let Jiang De'an put a Hu chair beside her, and sat down safely.

All the ministers were beating drums in their hearts, not knowing whether the Queen Mother was an enemy or a friend.

The Empress Dowager didn't give a damn, and went straight to the point: "Before his death, the late emperor gave me the right to supervise the country. This matter was written in the sage's enthronement edict. Presumably the few veteran officials present should remember it."

Minister Zongzhengsi took the lead in saying yes.

The Empress Dowager continued: "I'm a woman, I know I'm not capable, I have rarely stepped into the Taiji Palace for more than ten years, and I have never interfered in court affairs. Do you agree or not?"

All the ministers nodded repeatedly, of course they agreed.

Regardless of which faction, they will not deny the kindness and benevolence of the Queen Mother.

"The reason why I came here today is because the matter discussed by the ministers is not only related to the government, but also related to the harem."

"When a sage marries a wife, at an older age, he chooses a country. At a younger age, he chooses a daughter-in-law for me."

"When all the gentlemen ask to marry a young lady, they still need to be looked after by their mother-in-law. If it comes to me, won't it be okay?"

Zongzheng Siqing hurriedly said: "The next candidate must naturally be nodded by the empress."

"Then I have the final say, or not?"

The other party bit the bullet and said, "Forget it."

The queen mother smiled slightly, "I fell in love with that child Changning 20 years ago, so let's make her queen!"

One? The final word.

The day of the big wedding is chosen in winter, and the exact time has to be calculated by the Tiantai.

Li Xi sent the Queen Mother back to Changle Palace, knelt down obediently, and kowtowed for Li Hong and Zheng Jiarou.

If it weren't for the Queen Mother, I don't know when this matter will be involved.

After leaving Changle Palace, Li Xi went to the Ministry of War to look for the second prince. He wanted to thank him for his maintenance in the court, but he didn't say a word of thanks during the whole process, instead he cheated the second prince for a drink.

Brother!

The younger one can always act on his cuteness.

Li Hong specially called the second prince to the Taiji Hall, boasted obliquely, and also cared for a while? Was he tired in the military department, was he embarrassed, and so on.

But the second prince was terrified.

He was used to Li Hong scolding him, and he was not used to the sudden change in painting style.

Li Hong paused, and said unnaturally: "Your mother is still very young. I have been sorry for her these years. You can ask her when you have time. If she wants to leave the palace and remarry, I will arrange it."

The second prince was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and said bravely, "Otherwise... I'll ask... right now?"

Li Hong nodded.

The second prince ran out in a daze.

In less than two quarters of an hour, he ran back again.

With a very strange expression on her face, she hesitated and said: "My mother said that she already has someone she likes, but... she used to abide by the rules of etiquette and never expressed her heart... Now that my father said so, she will go and ask, That person also fell in love with her, so...he married..."

Li Hong: "..."

"pretty good."

It is also extremely generous.

There was an emperor in the previous dynasty who also dismissed the six palaces for his beloved; among the late emperor's concubines, those who were younger and did not want to become nuns or spend their lives in other palaces also returned home.

What Li Hong did was not shocking.

At least it is much easier to accept than his ex-wife marrying a courtier.

Li Hong went to Zheng's house in person.

Li Xi took the first step for him, and he had to do the rest by himself.My daughter-in-law has to hurt herself.

When he went there, Li Hong brought 16 female officers, nuns, maids, servants, and personal guards each, filling Zheng Jiarou's small courtyard to the brim.

Arrange everything by yourself before you can rest assured.

Still reluctant to leave, look here, look there, drink a couple of teas, find something to say.

I had no choice but to leave until the closing bell sounded.

Before going out, she turned around again and said to Zheng Jiarou, "Don't be nervous, it's just that I'm married to you, not the emperor's consort."

With tears in her eyes, Zheng Jiarou nodded meekly.

Li Hong's heart also softened.

After 16 years, I finally said this sentence.

After leaving Zheng Jiarou's yard, he changed his appearance, "Fei Longwei, take care of the old man of the Zheng family, don't let him die."

Turning his head, he said to Zheng's family: "I heard that the Zheng family still has a ancestral precept that if an elder kills himself or dies in vain, one of the males in the family will be buried as a sacrifice."

Everyone was terrified: "No, no, right?"

Li Hong said lightly: "Now there is."
