Three years later!
Zhenguan 7th year, 15th of March!
Chang 'an was very lively today.
Today was the wedding day of the Tang Emperor Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun's most beloved eldest daughter, Princess Li Lizhi of Changle.
Li Lizhi was the goddess in the hearts of countless scholars in the capital. Not only was she as beautiful as her name suggested, but she was also intelligent and talented!
The person he was going to marry was the eldest son of the country's brother-in-law, Zhangsun Wuji, Zhangsun Chong!
Both sides of Vermilion Bird Avenue were filled with people.
They watched as the bridal procession headed towards the Imperial City.
He looked at Zhangsun Chong, who was wearing a red wedding dress and a big red flower in front of his face, walking forward with a smile on his face.
The eight carriages behind him were going to fetch the princess.
"It's really a talented person matched with a beautiful woman!"
"Three years ago, Young Master Zhangsun was the top scorer in high school. Now, he's already a fourth-rank Zong Zhengqing.”
"Yes, I am!"
"Father is the country's brother-in-law, aunt is the current empress, and uncle is the current emperor.”
"With such an identity, not only is he not a playboy, but he's also actively trying to become the top scholar.”
“......”
The commoners looked at Zhangsun Chong with admiration and praised him.
"Young Master!"
"Young Master Zhangsun!"
On the other side, there were many young ladies from wealthy families waving their handkerchief and looking at him with adoring eyes.
Zhangsun Chong was also very polite as he cupped his hands and thanked everyone.
However, there was a trace of impurity in that smile.
How should he put it!
He raised his chin slightly and looked down at everyone. There was a hint of contempt in his gaze.
Soon, the bridal procession reached the northern end of Vermilion Bird Avenue, which was the entrance of the Imperial City.
"You sanctimonious little fox, this time, I've embarrassed you greatly.”Qin Qiong's son, Qin Huaidao, said with hatred towards Zhangsun Chong.
"I just don't know if Big Brother Bao Lin made it in time." Cheng Chusi said loudly.”
"Keep your voice down. Don't let Zhangsun Chong hear you.”
After Qin Huaidao reminded him, he hugged his sword with both hands and looked at the Vermilion Bird Gate.
He frowned slightly as he stared at the Vermillion Bird's door.
He could only hope that Yuchi Baolin, who had gone to rescue Princess Li Lizhi, had succeeded!
An hour passed!
Two hours had passed!
"What happened?"
"Why hasn't it been sent out yet?"
"If we delay any longer, not to mention the parade, even the auspicious time for the wedding will pass.”
The bridal escort team was already very anxious, and Zhangsun Chong's expression was extremely ugly.
The high-spirited and complacent attitude from before had already disappeared!
......
In the royal study of Yangxin Hall in the Imperial Palace.
The palace maids in Changle Palace knelt on the ground, trembling. They were afraid that Li Shimin would fly into a rage and kill them all for not guarding properly.
Li Shi Min, who had a mustache and was sitting on the throne, was reading a letter word by word.
Needless to say, her handwriting was really beautiful.
After all, Li Shiming was also a calligrapher, and his Flying White Book was his own style.
The daughter that he and Empress Zhangsun had raised together was not bad.
"Father!"
"Your son is not willing to marry Zhangsun Chong, who is incapable of governing a region with words and cannot wield a spear or a horse with martial arts.”
"Both you and mother are wrong.”
"He is obedient and studious in front of you and mother. But outside, they were regular customers of brothels, ignorant and incompetent.”
"He couldn't even win a poetry competition with a woman from a brothel.”
"You and mother will never know about this.”
"But your son knows, big brother Huaidao knows, big brother Chusi knows, big brother Baolin knows.”
"Even the crown prince and his brother know about it.”
"The reason why he was able to become the top scholar was because his father, your son's uncle, was the Minister of Personnel!”
"In short, your son is not willing to marry Zhangsun Chong!”
"Therefore, your son has decided to go out and tour the mountains and rivers. At the same time, I will also help Imperial Father see how the commoners in various places are doing.”
"Don't worry about your safety. Brother Yuchi Baolin and Wenya will protect me.”
"As long as Imperial Father rescinds the betrothal and makes an announcement to the entire country. When your son sees the notice, he will return.”
"Son, bow again!"
Li Shi Min looked at it seriously.
However, he didn't smash anything. He didn't make any angry or exasperated actions.
He just put the letter into the envelope with a serious expression.
Actually, he did not like this family of royal relatives either!
Their power was a little too great.
This marriage was also approved by Empress Zhangsun. Li Shimin could be considered to have been 'forced to do business'.
He would never take the initiative to do something like this to bring his relatives closer to the royal family!
As for whether Zhangsun Chong was ignorant and incompetent, he did not know. What he saw was only a studious and enthusiastic Zhangsun Chong.
He didn't care if his daughter was spouting nonsense because she didn't like him.
He didn't care about that.
Because regardless of whether Zhangsun Chong was a gifted scholar or a silkpants, he did not like him.
From a forensic point of view, Li Lizhi's escape from the marriage was a compliment to his daughter.
"Wang Sheng!"
Standing at the side, the Chief Eunuch Wang Sheng said respectfully,""This old servant is here!"
"Send the decree: Wei Wei Shaoqing, Yuchi Baolin, has left his post without permission and will be fined a month's salary.”
"Right Marquis Great General Yuchi Gong, failed to teach his son properly, fined one month's salary.”
A moment later, Wang Sheng rolled his eyes. That was it?
Did Yuchi Baolin leave his post without permission?
He had left his post without permission, but what he had done without permission was a major matter, a major crime!
Not to mention beheading, at the very least, he should be dismissed and beaten!
This bias was a little too much!
Li Shimin looked at the palace maids and said,"Go and reflect on your mistakes!"”
The palace maids were shocked. Was it that easy?
Immediately after, Li Shimin looked at Wang Sheng, who had yet to go to work, and said in surprise,"What are you waiting for?"
"Yes, this old servant will go immediately!"
"Wait!"
Li Shimin stopped Wang Sheng and handed the letter to him,"Go and hand it over to the Empress. Tell her that Zhen has already severely punished Zhen's officials.”
"Her daughter escaping from the marriage is a matter of the harem. She can do whatever she wants.”
Wang Sheng took the letter and immediately understood.
Li Shiming was obviously biased!
What else could the Empress do? It was just a matter of reducing a big issue to a small one.
Could it be that she wanted her daughter?
......
Sixteen days later, the afternoon of the first day of April!
The border city of the Great Tang's southwest, Guan County!
Under the sunlight!
The gate of the county government was magnificent!
The signboard of the county government was inlaid with gold and was magnificent!
The two stone lions at the entrance of the county government were even bigger than the stone lions at the entrance of the Prince's Mansion.
The stone lion at the entrance was very particular.
The size of the stone lion depended on the size of the house it was guarding.
If the house was big, the lion would be big. On the contrary, the lion was small.
These two stone lions were even bigger than the stone lions at the entrance of the Prince's Mansion in Chang 'an. It could only mean that the area of the county government was even larger than the Prince's Mansion.
In the private mansion of the county magistrate behind the county government, in the hot spring room.
Lin Hao was lying on a recliner made of solid wood. A beautiful woman in gauze was massaging his back.
"When you press on your shoulders, use a little more strength!”
The woman smiled and said sweetly,"Yes, my lord."”
Dong dong dong!
At this moment, Zhao Yong knocked on the door.""Sir, someone is complaining!"
Lin Hao glanced at the door and said lazily,""It's a holiday today. What are you complaining about?"
As he spoke, he looked at the girl and said with satisfaction,""This is the strength, this is the strength, comfortable!”
In the local dialect, it was 'Bashi is very easy'!
Dong dong dong!
Zhao Yong continued," Sir, it's a woman. She's very beautiful and she's from Chang 'an!"”
"Chang 'an is amazing, isn't it?"
"A girl from Chang 'an complained to the border. I'm afraid she took the wrong medicine.”
"Tell her to go back to Chang 'an to find the Chang' an magistrate.”
"Otherwise, we'll have to wait until the end of tomorrow.”
"I'm on vacation now!"
Zhao Yong suddenly heard Lin Hao raise his voice more than twice. This anger was simply like eating firewood.
Moreover, there was a flaw in his focus.
They only noticed that she was from Chang 'an, but they didn't notice that she was a woman and was very beautiful.
Zhao Yong thought for a moment. That's right. What kind of beauty had his lord not seen before?
At the entrance of the county office, Li Lizhi clenched her fists in anger after receiving the answer.
"Too much!"
"This dog official is simply too much!”
