Xuanzheng Hall.
Li Shimin conferred the title of Princess Xiangcheng.
Du Kefa was deep in thought.
According to historical records, Princess Xiang Cheng married Xiao Rui.
Xiao Rui didn't have much ability, but his father was a famous big shot.
Xiao Rui's father was called Xiao Yu.
During the Sui Dynasty, Xiao Yu was the Prime Minister. After the establishment of the Tang Empire, Xiao Yu remained at the center of power until the 20th year of Zhenguan.
The most legendary story was the rise and fall of the six dynasties. Six times, he was appointed as prime minister, six times he was dismissed from his position, and even his title was cut off and he was demoted out of the capital.
In June of the first year of Zhenguan, Feng Lun, the right servant of the minister, died of illness. After Xiao Yu was dismissed from the post of minister of the left servant, this position had been vacant. At this point, the position of Shangshu Province's two servants shot empty, Baiguan no head.
A few months later, Emperor Taizong re-examined the civil and military officials and issued an edict appointing Xiao Yu as the minister of the left servant shot and Fang Xuanling as the minister of the right servant shot.
Xiao Yu was strict and upright, unwilling to tolerate others 'shortcomings, and was not good at dealing with interpersonal relationships. As a result, at the end of November of the first year of Zhenguan, he was dismissed again after five months.
The reason was that Tang Jian was sent to the Turks, and Xiao Yu asked him to hide a letter to his sister, Empress Xiao, who had taken refuge in the Turks.
After Tang Jian left, the people who hated Xiao Yu reported that Xiao Yu had secretly sent a letter to the dead Sui Empress, and Xiao Yu was dismissed from office by Li Shimin.
Later, Li Shimin found out that Xiao Yu was falsely accused and was restored to his original position.
In the fourth year of Zhenguan, Li Jing, the minister of the Ministry of War, led his troops to attack the Turks and killed the wife of the Turkic Jie Li Khan and Princess Yicheng of the Sui Dynasty. Xiao Yu was grateful for her kindness and was sad. Xiao Yu impeached Li Jing. Someone took the opportunity to say that Xiao Yu's impeachment of Li Jing was improper and Xiao Yu was demoted again.
When Du Kefa first became a minister of the Supreme Court, Xiao Yu had just been dismissed from his position as a censor. Wen Yanbo took over his position, and Xiao Yu took on the empty position of Crown Prince's Young Fu.
……
"If things go as expected, Princess Xiang Cheng will marry Xiao Rui.”
Du Kefa speculated in his heart.
"Princess Xiang Cheng is my eldest daughter. She was nineteen years old at that time. Which young master do you think can be my son-in-law?”
Before Li Shi Min could finish his sentence, Princess Xiang Cheng raised her head and stared at Li Shi Min with firm eyes. She said,"Your Majesty, Li Xiangcheng is willing to marry the Supreme Court's Minister, Lord Dukefadu!”
The moment Princess Xiang Cheng's words fell, the entire court was shocked.
Du Kefa had never expected Li Xiangcheng to say such a thing.
When Du Ruhui heard Princess Xiang Cheng's words, he was almost scared out of his wits.
Not long ago, Li Shiming had just betrothed Princess Changle to Du Kefa, and they had yet to get married. At this moment, Princess Xiang Cheng actually said that she wanted to marry her third brother. Wasn't this putting Du Ruhui on a fire stove?
All the officials in the court looked at Du Kefa. They wanted to see some clues from his face.
Li Shiming was stunned when he heard Li Xiangcheng's words. He never thought that Li Xiangcheng would have such a strong opinion. Li Shiming was in a dilemma. He did not want to go against Li Xiangcheng's wishes because he owed Li Xiangcheng and his mother all these years.
However, this matter was too difficult to handle!
If Li Xiangcheng had made such a request in the main hall three months ago, he would definitely have agreed immediately.
However, Princess Changle had already been betrothed to Du Kefa. After a few months, the preparations would be completed, and the two of them would be married. Now that Princess Xiang Cheng had said such a thing, wouldn't it make things difficult for Li Shiming?
In the towering Xuanzheng Hall.
Li Xiangcheng, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, turned to look at Du Kefa.
He was the only one willing to help her.
She had been to many places and had been rejected many times.
Half a month ago, she had risked her life to stop Du Kefa's official sedan. At that time, she had already made up her mind to die. If this lord still could not make a decision for her, she would kill herself on the sedan.
In the end, Du Kefa invited her to the Prince Consort's residence and helped her seek justice under immense pressure!
In this world, other than him, who else would dare to accept a complaint against the current emperor?
In Li Xiangcheng's eyes, this handsome Lord Du was a man of indomitable spirit, and the only person Li Xiangcheng was willing to entrust his life to.
If she had to choose her Langjun.
She only chose Lord Dukefadu!
She didn't even want to look at other men!
"Xiang City…"
Li Shi Min called out softly from the main hall.
"Du Kefa already has a wife and will be married in a few days. Can you consider others?”
As soon as Li Shiming finished speaking, Li Xiangcheng suddenly turned his head and looked at Li Shiming. He immediately said,"If Du Lang has a wife, then Xiang Cheng will be Du Lang's concubine! If Langjun was not Du Lang, Xiang Cheng would rather not marry for the rest of his life!!”
Li Xiangcheng's words were powerful.
All the officials in the hall were dumbfounded. They couldn't believe their ears.
What was Princess Xiang Cheng saying?
Would you rather be Du Kefa's concubine?
If you are not Du Kefa, you will never marry.
What kind of charm did Du Kefa have to make Princess Xiang Cheng so crazy?
How would the officials know?
Princess Xiang Cheng, who had run into obstacles everywhere, had long seen through the men in the world who bowed and groveled.
Those men, no matter how high their official positions were or how tall they were, would be scared out of their wits when they heard that she was going to sue the current emperor. Which man could compare to Du Kefa?
……
In the court, Du Ruhui felt a headache.
Princess Xiang Cheng had just been conferred the title of princess, and because Li Shi Min was ashamed of her, he would definitely favor her a hundred times over.
Now, Princess Xiang Cheng actually wanted to marry Du Kefa and would rather be a concubine.
This would not bring good fortune to the Du family, but a great disaster.
What kind of man could marry two princesses?
Where would Tian Zi's face go?
Where was the dignity of the royal family?
Du Ruhui could go along with his third brother on everything, but he was firmly against this matter!
……
Li Shi Min looked at Li Xiang Cheng. She was already nineteen years old. In the Great Tang, women were married at the age of thirteen or fourteen. In the common people, if a woman did not marry at the age of nineteen, she would have been punished to the point of bankruptcy.
"Xiang Cheng, aren't you going to consider anything else?”
As soon as Li Shi Min finished speaking, Princess Xiang Cheng said,"Your Majesty, if I don't marry Lord Du in this life, I won't marry for the rest of my life!”
"Why?"
Li Shi Min finally asked.
Li Xiangcheng raised his head and looked at Li Shiming. He said word by word,"I've seen all the men in the world bow and scrape, but only Lord Du is able to carry the sun and moon on his shoulders and stand tall!”
"If I don't marry such a man in my life, I'd rather not marry him in my life!”
Li Xiangcheng's words echoed in the hall, and the civil and military officials in the court turned ashen.
Li Shi Min sighed and waved his hand,"You may leave. We will discuss this matter in the future.”
"Your daughter will take her leave."
Li Xiangcheng turned around and left the Xuanzheng Hall under the lead of the female official.
Li Shi Min felt like he had been drained of all his energy. He sat on the throne, sighed, and waved his hand.
Wang De immediately shouted,"Retreat!"
……
All the officials left Daxing Palace.
Li Shimin returned to the harem. Empress Zhangsun saw Li Shimin's worried face and comforted him,"" Your Majesty, don't worry about this. Xiang Cheng has just arrived in Chang 'an and is still not used to it. In a few days, she will adapt to the prosperity of Chang' an and get to know some elites in the court. She will change her mind.”
When Li Shi Min heard Empress Zhangsun's advice, the worry on his face finally dissipated a little.
"I'm just worried that she's too stubborn. She's getting on in years. She should get married as soon as possible..."
"I think Chong-er is very good. When I have time, I'll go persuade Xiang City…"
……
After Du Kefa walked out of the Black Tortoise Sect, he got into the sedan chair and ignored everyone else as he headed straight for the Supreme Court.
What happened in court today was too embarrassing. Even though Du Kefa and Li Xiangcheng had not done anything out of line in the Fuma's residence, gossip was a terrible thing. Who knew what the officials would say?
These things were temporarily put to the back of his mind. The most important thing now was to investigate the case that Li Shiming had given him.
Du Kefa had just returned to the Supreme Court when a guard from the Princess's manor rushed to the Supreme Court with sweat all over his face.
After Du Kefa let the guard in, the guard shouted,""Fuma, it's not good. Princess Chang Le fell ill and fainted!”
"What?! Princess Chang Le fainted?"
Du Kefa couldn't be bothered with the sedan chair. He rode on the Night Shine Jade Lion and flew towards the princess's manor!
