Chapter 1020 Recalling the glorious years of the past
Li Longji has many concubines and many children, but he is old now. Since the end of Kaiyuan, he has not had new children for many years. Now there are only three or four princesses who are still waiting to be married in the boudoir. Jiang Du asked Li Linfu to greet the princess for his younger brother Jiang Qingchu, but with the honor of the Yang family, Yang Zhi gave up Princess Taihua. Even if the other three princesses were one and a half years younger, they had already made a marriage. The emperor's young daughter, Cang Niang, was not welcomed, so this matter was delayed. Therefore, according to general principles, Du Youlin now wants to worship the princess, and the emperor has no free daughter for the time being.
But this could not stop Yang Yuyao's plan. She was always worried about the humiliation that Du Shiyi gave her back then. Therefore, she learned that the emperor actually led the Shuofang and the Hedong Jiedushi, and Wang Zhongsi also led the Hexi Longyou Jiedushi. Her anger was no less than Li Linfu. But just looking at the harem, there were Zhang Xie and other concubines, she was far from being dominated by the harem. Naturally, she did not dare to vent the pillow wind, but this did not prevent her from playing tricks. When Li Longji came in the evening, after she was serving the bed, she attached herself to the emperor's ear and mentioned the princess who was now about to marry.
Li Longji's sons have all been crowned kings and live in the Sixteen Kings' house. Most of the princesses have surrendered outside, and only four of them are left in the palace. When Yang Yuyao mentioned this, he casually said: "Why, who can follow your path and want Princess Shang?"
Hearing the emperor's words so direct, Yang Yuyao used all his skills and finally said gasping: "I am just Shuyi, and Lord Shang is also a major event that only Your Majesty can promise. How could anyone come to lobby me? However, the first priority is like Mr. Zhang Yan and Mr. Xiao Xu. They all have children Shangzhu in their family. Now in recent years, there are few generals and ministers Shangzhu."
Li Longji was stunned when he heard this. Zhang said that his youngest son and Xiao Song were both supreme masters. On the one hand, he expressed favor, and on the other hand, Zhang and Xiao Song made clear requests. Most of the famous children of the Tang Dynasty regarded supreme masters as fearlessness. Zhang said that because of his humble origin, he wanted to give his children a greater degree of protection. Although Xiao Song was born in a noble family, he also hoped to maintain wealth and honor after he was dismissed from prime ministers. As for other prime ministers or high-ranking officials, they either decided to marry their children early or had no intention at all. As the emperor, he certainly would not forcefully force his daughter to throw him over. Just as he was in deep thought, Yang Yuyao interjected another sentence at the right time.
"I heard that Your Majesty once intended to grant Princess Yongmu to General Du of Shuofang?"
This has been a long time ago. Li Longji was stunned for a long time before he remembered. The affairs of Liu Jieyu, Princess Yongmu, and Liu Ximing all emerged from the depths of his memory. He even remembered the scene of the large switch banquet on the Ziyun Tower in Furong Garden. At that time, less than ten years after he formally took office, Du Shiyi was still a handsome young man, and then he was the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to
"If you don't mention it, I almost forgot that there is such a story."
"That marriage was not done back then, why didn't Your Majesty think of another princess to the son of Marshal Du?"
Yang Yuyao only mentioned this sentence, and then she used thousands of ways to be obsessed with her, and did not continue to talk. Compared to Yu Nu's proficiency in music and understanding, she was much worse. She could observe her expressions and expressions, and was clever and clever. Moreover, because of Yu Nu's pipa skills, she had worked hard to practice the Jie drum over the years and barely shared some of the same language as Li Longji. Therefore, by virtue of her origin, she finally suppressed Zhang Yunrong and others. She knew very well that other concubines in the palace had always looked down on her, so she won the holy heart with Hu Xuanwu and had both sexes and art. Cao Yenaji, who was born in the Cao Kingdom of the Western Regions, naturally became the object she could win over.
Apart from the insect girl who was born by Cao Yenaji, there is no unmarried princess in the palace.
Although Yang Yuyao's wishful thinking was good, Cao Ye's Ji was so grateful that she could make Du Shiyi devoted herself, but what she could do was to instigate her. Li Longji did remember the heroic and proud young man when he summoned Du Guangyuan. According to Du Shiyi, he was once thought of by Prince Li Heng, but later he became Jiang Du's son-in-law, so he was also a little curious about Du Shiyi's young son.
But before he learned that during Du Shiyi's youngest son Du Youlin was in Beijing, most of them visited relatives and friends for their mothers and handled family affairs. They were indeed praised for their manners and manners as a noble family. However, people have not yet been to the imperial examination and have not yet been released from the imperial examination and have not yet obtained an official position. It is still difficult to tell whether it is good or bad.
Because his young girl, Cymbidium, fell to the ground for less than a month, he felt disgusted, so he often asked him to wear Taoist costumes to pray and drive away evil spirits. This is not a secret in the palace. If such a daughter is betrothed to Du Shiyi's youngest son, how could he know that he would not be resentful? However, he has no daughter who has not been betrothed yet, but he is not willing to give in to other princes, namely those county lords. As the Jieshuai of Bianzhen, Du Shiyi, the eldest son married the daughter of Jiang and the wife of Cui, did not marry the nobles in the court and Jieshuai of Bianzhen, so even if Li Linfu could not accuse him of using marriage as a clique.
Li Longji was struggling, and Du Shiyi and Wang Zhongsi had already begun to set off. Because he wanted to be the governor of Hedong this time, Du Shiyi asked the emperor to go to Hedong first to hand over military affairs. Wang Zhongsi went straight to Helong to prepare for Tubo. Although neither of them could hand over in person, they were both Jie Zhengshen who had been out of town for many years, so they were unable to control their subordinates, so they naturally had nothing to say in the court. Du Shiyi was even more willing to take this opportunity to go to Songshan Caotang to find his mentor Lu Hong, and he made another request. After many years, Li Longji had long forgotten Lu Hong's refusal to become an official and agreed to the court.
Du Guangyuan was going to take office in the Western Regions. After asking for advice from his parents, Jiang Liuniang finally decided to set off with her husband. For this reason, Jiang Du almost collected all the powerful family members of the family and gave them all to his daughter and son-in-law. Then he complained to Du Shiyi for accusing him of being too cruel. Wang Zhou also went to the southwest Shuzhong. On the day of departure, Du Shiyi and Wang Zhongsi, two fathers, personally sent their eldest sons. They watched the group who were away from home on the official road in the west of the city, and were filled with emotion.
When Du Shiyi set out for Hedong on the morning of the day when he set off for him, what he did not expect was that Wang Rong had prepared luggage for Du Youlin. Facing her husband who was puzzled, she smiled and said, "In Chang'an, for the years, Youlin has visited Master Lu every year. Now, it is the most appropriate to accompany you as your father to pay homage to Master."
Du Shiyi suddenly realized and could not say anything to refute it even though he thought about it. Seeing that the young son greeted him with a smile, went out to arrange his entourage and the itinerary on the road, he couldn't help but look at his wife and asked with a smile: "Young Mother, you never do anything without aim. What is this sold in the gourd?"
"Okay, okay, you'll know when you look back." Wang Rong pushed Du Shiyi with a smile, and then said softly, "Peace all the way, don't forget, the children and I are waiting for you in Chang'an."
"Take care too"
For many years, the couple had already had a tacit understanding so much that they didn't have to say many lingering love words. Before leaving, Du Shiyi just held his wife's hand tightly, and then got on the horse and whipped it away.
Since leaving Shuofang, Du Shiyi has not walked the official road east of Chang'an for a long time. He had already passed Tongguan and turned to Taiyuan Prefecture to the north. Now he has received the order to go to Songshan to visit the commander of the army first, so he has to continue traveling eastward and go to Songshan through Luoyang. Although there is no war in the north of Mobei and Shuofang in Hedong is safe, he is responsible for military and national affairs, and he is rushing all the way. He has been galloping on the road for at least six or seven hours every day.
As the Lu family's thatched cottages became famous, the government built roads and bridges, the overall environment has undergone many changes. He, who was the most familiar with the terrain here, had to rely on Du Youlin to lead the way. Looking at the eye-catching plaques and signs along the way, he felt the prosperity of the cottages over the years, and naturally felt very relieved. Following the already spacious and flat mountain road into the mountains, in addition to the bleak winter scene, there are more of evergreen plants that are still lush in winter. Finally, he saw a large area of various thatched cottages in the distance, and the silver cottage hanging from the mountains.
Du Youlin came to visit and give gifts on behalf of his parents every year. Seeing that it was about to arrive, he immediately stepped forward. When he came back, he was following him, a strange young man, obviously a student who had just joined the cottage in the past few years. Although Du Shiyi was wearing casual clothes, the person who came still seemed very restrained. After bowing under the horse, he spoke: "I don't know that Marshal Du's arrival was a mistake. I have asked my junior brother to come in and inform you that you have come out to greet him. However, Master Lu has been in good health for several days and I don't know if he can meet the distinguished guests."
Du Shiyi immediately jumped off the horse and said with a smile: "Since here, I am just a disciple of Mr. Lu, not a general Du, nor a guest. There is no need to let someone come out to greet me, I will go in by myself."
The young student saw Du Shiyi walking in with his hands behind his back, and all his followers were dismounted. He couldn't help but be stunned for a long time. Then he hurriedly chased after him, but he didn't know what to say. As expected, when their group passed through the low fence and entered the formal building complex of Lu's Aoi, many students had already flocked out, and at least hundreds of people. Although the people were crowded, they gave up the road in the middle. Standing behind, they stretched their necks and tiptoed, hoping to see what this handsome man from the Aoii looked like.
After finally passing through the crowd of people who were welcomed by the street, Du Shiyi saw a group of familiar and strange people. The person who led the lead had gorgeous hair and still had the cynical face of the past, which was Lu Wangzhi. The man next to him had a cold expression and a tall appearance. Who else was not the third senior brother Pei Ning? And who was beside them, the second senior brother Song Shen, the fourth senior brother Hou Xiao... had many familiar faces. At that moment, he seemed to have returned to the years of studying in the cottage back then, and he relaxed for it.
