Chapter 643
Three Happinesses
Zuo Shaoyang and Zuo Gui's father and other family members sat together, looking at the roster.
The prince did not expect that Zuo Shaoyang called Wu Meiniang, and he was immediately worried. Fortunately, only Zuo Shaoyang knew about his relationship with Wu Meiniang, and Wu Meiniang didn't look at him at all, as if he didn't know him at all. This made the prince a little uneasy. After all, he had a good time with Wu Meiniang, and he was even more charming and charming. He was also a little confused and confused, but it was difficult to express it.
Zuo Shaoyang was holding the roster, his eyes were blurred. There were too many people and he didn't know which one was better. He called his two sons and a daughter to ask. The three of them were all blushing, and they had any ideas. They just said that it was up to their father to make the decision.
Zuo Shaoyang had no idea, so he naturally could not make decisions randomly. He asked everyone what his opinions were. Although Zuo Gui's father had been familiar with the court in the past two years, he did not know the situation of their children, so he did not dare to make decisions randomly, for fear of harming the child.
Just as he had no idea, Wu Meiniang said, "I'll give me an idea. Do you think it's OK?"
The prince said happily: "Yes, Wu Cairen has met many ministers and families in the court, and knows the most about the ministers and children, and must have great insights!"
Wu Meiniang said lightly: "Crown Prince, Meiniang is living in her parents' home, but her daughter is no longer a talented person. The prince can just call Meiniang the name."
The prince said embarrassedly: "Yes, please tell me your opinion."
When the emperor invited ministers and their families, he always asked his concubines to entertain the ministers' families. Wu Meiniang was extroverted, very good at observing words and expressions, and was very likable, so she was very familiar with the families of many ministers, and the prince knew about this.
Although Zuo Shaoyang and Zuo Gui’s father didn’t know, the prince both agreed with Wu Meiniang’s idea, so naturally they should be both opinionated and looked at Wu Meiniang.
Wu Meiniang said: "E Gong Yuchi Jingde's sixth daughter is not married yet. Although she is born in a concubine, she is dignified and virtuous. In addition, the Yuchi family is one of the emperor's most favored ministers. You can let Wenning marry her as a wife. If the two families marry each other, my Zuo family will be as stable as a rock."
Zuo Shaoyang immediately heard what Wu Meiniang said. She obviously knew why she wanted to live in Hezhou and why she wanted to travel around the world at this time, because she was worried about being involved in the current government disputes during the regime change.
Yuchi Jingde, also known as Yuchi Gong, the door god in later generations, was a well-known general under the tent of Emperor Li Shimin. He was one of the twenty-four ministers of Lingyan Pavilion. He was a man with great merits, but he knew that he had made too high ambitions. He knew that he had made too high a contribution, so he kept a low profile in his later years and stayed in the door. Therefore, he did not arouse the emperor's suspicion and was even more favored by the emperor. He was also one of the few meritorious ministers who had a good death in history. He was safe to marry such a family.
When Zuo Shaoyang heard Wu Meiniang's words, he was very much in line with his wishes. His eldest son Zuo Wenning had an impetuous personality and had some meanings of a playboy. If he had a father-in-law like Yuchi Jingde, he should be able to restrain some of his problems. He nodded slowly at the moment.
However, Yuchi Jingde had a little bit of a festive celebration with him. When Li Yuan wanted to retake the throne, he tied Li Shimin and his children in the hall. When he handled this matter himself, in order to win Li Yuan's trust, he deliberately said that Li Yuan's retake of the throne was the right thing to do, which caused the impatient Yuchi Jingde to scold and threaten him. Although after the matter calmed down, Yuchi Jingde did not cause trouble for him, the two families never contacted each other after that. Now they rashly proposed marriage, and they may not be willing.
The prince said happily: "That's great, this idea is very good. I'll go to propose marriage with Lord Yuchi, I'll do it!"
After hearing what the prince said, Zuo Shaoyang stopped talking and did not say anything about the conflict between the two more than 20 years ago.
Seeing that the prince and Zuo Shaoyang nodded, they were the candidates proposed by the emperor's talent, Zuo Gui's father and others naturally would not object, and they were all the same.
Wu Meiniang said again: "The fourth daughter of Yinggong Li Ji is born in the legitimate state. She is of extraordinary character and well-educated. She is also the best candidate. She is only seventeen years old. She has refused to let her go out of the woods because of her parents' favor. She has not yet married yet. Li Gong is also an important official in the court. The marriage between the two families should be a good match!"
Ying Duke Li Ji, also known as Xu Maogong, was also a famous general under the tent of the Tang King Li Shimin. He has been guarding the northern border for many years and defeating Xue Yantuo's forces many times. Later, during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of Tang, he was ordered to destroy it. He was also a great military achievement and ranked among the twenty-four ministers of Lingyan Pavilion. Wu Meiniang asked her second son to marry his daughter, which naturally gave the Zuo family an extra peace of mind.
Wu Zetian recommended Yuchi Jingde and Xu Maogong, both old ministers, are still alive and have to support the general who have had a good end. There is no rebellion involved. Wu Meiniang cannot know the situation in the future, but her recommendation of these two is enough to prove that she has a sharp eye and has seen that these two families have achieved great achievements but are very steady, which is most in line with Zuo Shaoyang's wishes. Marriage with these two families will further consolidate the status of the Zuo family.
The prince smiled and said, "Good idea! This marriage is well said!"
Zuo Shaoyang also smiled and nodded, and the rest of the people naturally agreed.
Wu Meiniang said again: "Fifth sister Wen Xi, I have to find a talented talent with all-round talents in civil and military affairs." He picked up the list of the imperial examinations and the third tripod armor in recent years, turned to a page, and pointed to it: "Tang Xiujing, his ancestors were the generals of the previous dynasty. I was promoted to the palace examination with the emperor. The emperor praised this person as a talented talent in civil and military affairs. Although he is now the only one who joins the army in the Yingzhou Governor's Office, once he is valued, he will be a pillar of the country! Wen Xi married him and should be a good match for a handsome man and a beautiful woman!"
When Zuo Shaoyang heard this, he felt a little shocked. He still knew some of the people in the Wu Zetian era. Tang Xiujing was a soldier and prime minister in the Wu Zetian era. He had led troops to defeat the Turks and Tubo many times. He had made great achievements in combat and was deeply trusted by Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian has now discovered this talent keenly, which shows that his political talent is really amazing, which makes Zuo Shaoyang even more vigilant.
Wu Meiniang's political talent is not concerned about Zuo Shaoyang, but his daughter's safety cannot be ignored. The tragic scene in history must not be repeated! Zuo Shaoyang made up his mind to find an opportunity to kill Wu Zetian on this trip! Anyway, the emperor has already said that he no longer cares about Wu Zetian's affairs.
Zuo Shaoyang smiled and said, "These three are excellent candidates, so I don't know if they are willing to marry our doctor."
The prince said, "Don't worry, this father-in-law is all for me. I will go to the door and say hello to me."
Liang said: "It's okay to say that the Yuchi family and the Li family are in the capital, but Tang Xiujing is in Yingzhou, how can he say he is close?"
The prince said, "It's okay. Since Mei Niang admires this person so much, I will immediately promote him and let him become an official in the capital. I will also be granted a princess, and I will give him a marriage."
Because the Zuo family is now a royal relative, she is also a royal family woman, and the emperor can be enthroned as a princess and then given a marriage.
When Sang Xiaomei heard this, she was overjoyed. Zuo Wenxi was her biological daughter. If her daughter became a princess, it would naturally be a matter of glory. I should thank you for your blessings immediately.
Wu Meiniang was a little grateful when she heard the prince adopting her opinion and was about to reuse Tang Xiujing. She couldn't help but look at him with a smile. This look was full of charm and charming, and she saw the prince's whole body soft and intoxicated.
The two of them were just secretly circulating, but others didn't see it. They were talking about the marriage, and they didn't pay attention. Zuo Shaoyang saw it and sneered in his heart. It seemed that the two were in a mess. As long as they had sex, Wu Meiniang could enter the center of the imperial power and ascend to the throne! The daughter would not be safe. This further strengthened his determination to kill Wu Meiniang.
The prince took Wu Meiniang's smile and did not dare to look at her again, for fear of losing her composure and being seen by the Zuo family, so he quickly stood up and said goodbye to rush to propose marriage. Zuo Gui's father was very grateful and sent it to the door.
In the evening, the prince came to the door again, smiling happily, and bowed to him when he came in: "Congratulations, the three joys are coming!"
When Zuo Gui’s father and Zuo Shaoyang heard this, they were both surprised and happy: “Have the two families agreed to the marriage?”
"That's right!" said the prince, "Mr. Yuchi and Lord Li both agreed. I immediately took the initiative to help get a job and I can get married on a date!"
Zuo Gui's father was both happy and frightened, and bowed: "How about letting the prince spend money? This betrothal gift should be paid back."
"I don't talk to each other in the family. I am their brother-in-law and brother-in-law. It's okay to pay for them to hire them."
Zuo Gui's father insisted on repaying the betrothal gift, so the prince had to agree. After all, it was a marriage for the Zuo family and it was not easy to pay for others.
Qiao Qiaoer asked about the Tang family, and the prince smiled and said, "It's a coincidence that the parents of Tang both lived in the capital. My father was sick a few days ago. He happened to take leave to go back to the capital to visit him. Now he is in the capital. I immediately issued an order to promote him to the Sima of Fengzhou, and invite his parents and his Jin to meet him, telling them to enthrone Wenxi as the princess of Fengzhou and give him a marriage to him. Tang Xiujing's family was so grateful that he crawled on the ground and kept kowtowing to thank him! Hahaha."
Crown Princess Zuo Wenzhi also smiled and said, "By chance, all three things are going smoothly, and they are all done. Father, you can stay for a few more days. It's not too late to go on a trip after the three of them get married."
Zuo Shaoyang smiled and nodded.
Arrange the marriage immediately, and three days later will be the auspicious day. It is immediately decided to marry the three of them on the third day.
The next day, the prince issued an order in the name of the acting emperor, and appointed Zuo Wenxi as the princess of Fengzhou and gave him the marriage to Tang Xiujing.
Except for the Tang family, both parties are prominent families. These three marriages are naturally full of glory and there is no need to make detailed statements.
On the day of marriage, the emperor, empress and prince all rewarded countless gifts. Zuo Shaoyang also met the legendary Yuchi Gong and Xu Maogong. Although they were old, they were still majestic. However, in front of Zuo Shaoyang, both of them were very humble.
Zuo Shaoyang was a little puzzled at that time, and later he realized that these two people are now low-key. Not to mention the emperor's senior brother, a royal relative, and an ordinary court minister, they were humble and polite. Especially Yuchi Gong, whose strength had been smoothed out twenty years ago, only twenty years later that the prince proposed marriage would be possible that he would agree that if the prince had proposed marriage twenty years ago, even if the prince personally proposed marriage twenty years ago, this marriage might not have been done.
After paying homage to heaven and earth, Zuo Shaoyang only saw his two daughters-in-law. He was indeed dignified and beautiful, and he was very satisfied. His son-in-law Tang Xiujing also met him, and he was indeed handsome.
Now that the five children are married, there are still two young people left, so there is no need to worry, Zuo Shaoyang is at ease.
