Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

After the voice fell, an eunuch trotted in, bowed and said: "Please pass on the order, Your Majesty."

His Majesty Li Er stood up and said majesticly: "The decree is to allow the wife of Yizhou Hou Guoye, Guo Wushixiuxiu, to inherit the title of her mother, Princess Pingyang, and to be the princess of Pingyang from now on, and to eat thousands of households in Pingyang County. , and also, ordered Pingyang Princess Wu Xiuxiu to change her surname to Chai, so that the ancestors can be recognized as soon as possible, and the family can be reunited."

The eunuch took a notebook and wrote it down word for word, and then respectfully said: "Your Majesty's will will be transmitted to Zongzheng Temple now, servant girl."

After finishing speaking, he quickly withdrew from the Ganlu Hall.

Empress Changsun heard her husband's impromptu addition at the end, she couldn't help covering her mouth with a light smile and said, "Your Majesty, Guo Ye has always been thinking about letting Xiuxiu go back to Huo Guogong's mansion to recognize her ancestors and return to her clan, so I want to make a fool of Chai Shao. Arrogance. This is good. You have sealed Xiuxiu as Princess Pingyang, and let Xiuxiu change her surname to the clan as soon as possible. Think about it, the father is the Duke of the state, but the daughter has become the princess of the royal family. Daughter has to pay three points of respect, and Chai Shao can't make you mad?"

His Majesty Li Er also smiled wryly and said: "This is the absurd thing he did back then. He owed a foolish debt, and he will have to pay it back sooner or later. I will also help him get rid of this knot in his heart. Alas, although Chai Shao is wrong First, but after all, they are father and daughter, and their bones are broken and their tendons are still connected. There is no such hatred as imagined. Guanyin servant girl, you and I are both parents, so we should be able to understand Chai Shao's current thoughts. I guess , he now regrets the foolish things he did back then."

Empress Changsun hummed, watching her husband talking about the father-daughter relationship between Chai Shao and Xiuxiu, she couldn't help but think of Li Tai who was demoted to Qianzhou, and the eldest son Li Chengqian who was deposed as the crown prince.

She sighed in her heart, wondering when His Majesty will calm down his anger towards Tai'er and Chengqian, and allow their brothers to return to the palace as soon as possible, so that the family can be reunited?

……

……

This time, regarding Wu Xiuxiu's canonization as the Lord of Pingyang County, Li Daozong's work efficiency was extremely high, without any procrastination or negligence.

It was almost time for dinner, and the imperial decree was passed on to Yizhouhou Mansion in Taipingfang.

At this time, Guo Ye also returned home early from the yamen of the Ministry of Rites. As soon as he heard the imperial decree, he immediately brought Xiuxiu to the main hall of the mansion to receive the decree.

wow~

Up to Guo Ye, Wu Xiuxiu, down to the soldiers, servants, maids, and old ladies in the Hou's mansion, all knelt down to accept the order.

After the eunuch delivering the decree read out the imperial decree in a high-pitched voice, the entire Yizhou Marquis Mansion suddenly boiled, and the mountain shouted "Long live the emperor, and a thousand years for the empress."

Think about it, the husband of the Guo family is the crown prince, and the wife is the princess.

What kind of glory is this?

One person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven.These people in Guo's mansion naturally rose with the tide. Walking on Chang'an Avenue, they all had bright faces and straight backs.

The young couple Guo Ye and Wu Xiuxiu were also stunned by this sudden imperial decree from His Majesty Li Er, and a sense of happiness instantly appeared on the faces of the couple.

Especially Wu Xiuxiu, ever since Guo Ye skyrocketed to the sky, she always felt that she was missing something.

Now that the emperor has let her inherit the title of her mother, as the princess of Pingyang, she finally deserves her name as the official wife of the Marquis of Yizhou, and she has not fallen into the name of Guo Ye in the slightest.

After receiving the decree, Guo Ye bribed the eunuch who delivered the decree with a few ingots of gold, and heard the origin of the decree from him.

Uncle Gao Shilian contributed a lot.

Li Jing, the Duke of Wei, made great contributions.

Empress Changsun is the icing on the cake.

For a moment, he was filled with emotion, thinking to himself, by chance, all the favors that he gave were all credited to the account today, and the three accounts were merged into one. In exchange for Xiuxiu, a Princess of Pingyuan, it was really worth his grandma's money!

When Guo Ye looked at Xiuxiu's happy and sweet face, he couldn't help saying happily, it seems that he has to be a good person in the future, a loss is not necessarily a loss, and after a loss is often a blessing.

After about a while, the servants with good deeds moved in the unfinished firecrackers during the Chinese New Year, and set off the firecrackers cracklingly at the gate of Yizhou Hou's Mansion to celebrate. The whole city of Chang'an knew about Madam Yizhou being conferred the title of Princess Pingyang by the Holy Majesty.

But some people are happy, and some people are worried!

Huo Guogong's mansion, which is located in Kangrenfang, is full of turmoil.

Because Huo Guogong Chai Shao not only heard the sound of firecrackers in the Guo Mansion in Taipingfang, but also received the news that his eldest daughter Xiuxiu, who had been abandoned in the middle of Shu, had just been ennobled by the Holy Lord as the Princess of Pingyang.

Chapter 878

It was already evening at this time, and although Chai Shao, Duke Huo who returned home, took off his official hat, he still did not take off the scarlet crown robes he was wearing. .

In the early morning, Li Jing and Gao Shilian were so angry that they didn't eat lunch after returning home; and after hearing the sound of firecrackers in Yizhou Marquis Mansion, and after hearing that their abandoned daughter Xiuxiu was conferred the title of Pingyang Princess by the Holy Lord, I have no appetite for dinner.

Just sitting like this, I didn't move my place when I came back from the next court.

In addition to Wu Xiuxiu, Chai Shao and Li Xiuning, the eldest princess of Pingyang, have two sons and a daughter.

The youngest daughter, Chaihe Hejue, was granted the title of head of Linyang County. She was young and did nothing, went crazy, and stayed away all day.

The second son, Chai Lingwu, has been fighting in the barracks all the time. Now, like Cheng Huaimo, the eldest son of Cheng Yaojin's family, he is appointed as a fifth-rank guerrilla general and has [-] troops to garrison Tuyuhun himself.

The eldest son, Chai Lingwen, although he doesn't join the army and doesn't like to study, is obsessed with merchants. He also runs Changlefang Big Bank in partnership with the adopted daughter of Wei Guogong Li Jing and the second son of Liang Wanwan's family. , can be regarded as promising.

Although businessmen have always been despised by others, who among the aristocratic families does not run the industry?As long as you reach the top level and reach a level that cannot be underestimated, whether you are a businessman or an official, it is the same reason.

Therefore, Chai Shao has always supported the eldest son Chai Lingwen Qiwen abandoning military affairs to go into business.Because, the Chai family was attracted by Li Yuan's eyes because of their wealth and wealth, and became Li Yuan's right-hand man. In the end, he married Princess Pingyang, became a relative of the emperor, and became the founding hero of the Tang Dynasty.

"Ugh……"

After Chai Shao sat quietly for a long time, he suddenly sighed and became anxious and irritable.

In the hall, apart from Chai Shao, there was only the eldest son Chai Lingwen.

Chai Lingwen naturally guessed the reason for his father's abnormality today, but he didn't dare to say more, because his sister Wu Xiuxiu, whom he had never met, had always been a lump in his father's heart.

Chai Shao glanced at the eldest son who was neither standing nor sitting, and suddenly asked, "Lingwen, where is your sister?"

Hearing this, Chai Lingwen asked, "Father, which sister?"

Bass~

These words really ignited the unknown fire in Chai Shao's heart, and Chai Shao stood up angrily, yelling, "Bastard, how many younger sisters do you have? Of course it's He He's uneasy death." Girl."

Chai Lingwen scolded himself as an idiot, really, which pot should not be carried, isn't this just asking for trouble?

Suddenly, Chai Lingwen hurriedly lowered his head and said: "Father, Hehe is visiting Princess Wencheng's residence today. She sent someone to send a message back, saying that she will stay overnight at Princess Wencheng's residence tonight and will not go home. "

"What? She's not home?"

Chai Shao frowned, and cursed with a gloomy expression: "It's true that my daughter can't help her when she grows up, that's all, I can't control her anymore. In a few years, when she grows older, I will marry her to someone else. This girl, Since I was a child, I have never made people worry, and I am just a debt collector."

Although Chai Lingwen didn't make a sound after listening to it, he was secretly disdainful in his heart, cut it, just talk, who doesn't know that you have loved her since you were a child, and married her casually, are you willing?

Thinking of his younger sister, Chai Hehe, Chai Lingwen couldn't help but feel a little sour in his heart, alas, the same surname is Chai, why is the male of the Chai family so hard-working?The second child and I have no titles so far, and the girl He He has been named the county head since she was born, and my sister Xiuxiu, who has never met, is even named the head of the Pingyang county today, so heartwarming.

Thinking about it, Chai Lingwen suddenly remembered his purpose of coming to see his father, and immediately said: "Father, you have eaten rice grains since you came home from the next morning. It's time for dinner. Otherwise, what if you are starving?"

"Have a meal?"

Chai Shao snorted angrily, patted the armrest of the Grand Master's chair twice, and said in a dispirited way: "I'm so full of breath today, how can I have the heart to eat? Oh, what a sin! Xiuning, Xiuning , Could it be that I did something wrong back then?"

When Chai Shao said these words without beginning and end, Chai Lingwen was really shocked when he heard them. Others could not understand the meaning of these words, but he could hear them clearly.
