Time Travel: I am the idle king Li Shen and Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty
Chapter 1621 Concubine Wei's Difficulties
Her uncle Wei Kuangbo died of illness, leaving Concubine Wei and several of her cousins without protection and in a precarious situation.
Next, Wang Shichong proclaimed himself king and occupied Luoyang. By this time, Wei Fugui had already found Concubine Wei to serve him.
Wang Shichong founded the Zheng Dynasty and wanted to marry into a powerful family in order to consolidate his regime, but the powerful families looked down on Wang Shichong.
Finally, the Yungong Branch of the Wei family, which was like a rootless duckweed, was noticed by Wang Shichong. As a prominent family in Guanzhong with no elders, the Yungong Branch was supported by several young boys and girls.
Finally, the uncle Wei Jin made the decision to marry Wei Kuangbo's eldest daughter to Crown Prince Wang Xuanying, and his second daughter Wei Dante to Yang Wang's son Yang Zhengben.
As for Concubine Wei, Wang Shichong had never considered the idea of her being a widow with a baby.
At this point, Concubine Wei had finally escaped from the identity of a criminal's family member.
Then in the third year of Wude, King Li Yuan of Tang ordered an attack on Luoyang, and King Li Shimin of Qin led the battle.
They advanced with unstoppable force and soon destroyed the Zheng State founded by Wang Shichong. After months of struggle, Luoyang, the capital, finally surrendered.
Wei Fugui's story came to an end here, and Li Shen knew something about what happened next.
At that time, the Li family was considered a ruined family, and no one was willing to acknowledge them, so Li Shimin thought of an alliance through marriage.
At that time, Li Shen's father had already married Empress Changsun. Which girl from a prominent family would be your concubine?
So his father thought of the widow Concubine Wei, who had a child.
It was Wei Jin who made the decision to send Concubine Wei to the Prince of Qin's Palace as a concubine.
"Hey? Does anyone know who this Wei Jin is? Is he the reincarnation of Yue Lao?"
After listening to Wei Fugui's story, Li Shen lay there thinking for a long time, and suddenly asked a question.
I should thank him. If it weren't for him, there would be no me, the tenth prince of the Tang Dynasty.
"Your Highness, Wei Jin is the sixth son of our ancestor Wei Xiaokuan.
He is an old acquaintance of the late emperor, and he is somewhat related to him. His younger brother Wei Jing’s wife is the late emperor’s niece. ” Wei Fugui really knew this.
WTF! Li Shen was stunned. Wei Xiaokuan’s sixth son?
Li Shen stretched out his hand and began to count. His grandfather was Wei Yuancheng, his great-grandfather was Wei Zong, he was the third son of Wei Xiaokuan, and he was the sixth son.
That is, how could my great-grandfather live to such an old age? But later I thought that thirty years ago, it was more reasonable.
"Ah~~~" Lu Dingniang sighed, "I didn't expect my mother's fate to be so rough.
I really can’t imagine how my mother managed to survive with Princess Dingxiang.”
Women are sentimental, and when they heard about what happened to their mother-in-law, they felt sympathy for her.
"Yes, it was really not easy for my mother. She was an orphan and a widow, and she encountered war and chaos, and she also went through prison."
Li Shen felt a little sorry for his mother. It was really not easy for her.
Li Shen waved his hand to Wei Fugui, and Wei Fugui didn't know what happened next. Concubine Wei entered the Qin Palace.
Wei Fugui went to a farm near Chang'an and waited to be called.
Wei Fugui bowed and walked out, with some sadness from the memories still on his face.
"Your Highness, why don't we go to the palace again tomorrow and spend more time with our mother." Wu Meiniang said softly while rubbing Li Shen's feet.
Suddenly, Wu Meiniang seemed to see the shadow of her own mother, who was driven out of the house by her brother and became a wanderer outside.
Her mother lived a lonely life with her three children.
That period of life is still fresh in her memory.
"No, not tomorrow. Tomorrow, Ding Niang, come with me to Duke Xue's mansion. I plan to bring my eldest sister to the palace for mother to see."
Princess Dingxiang was afraid that breaking the rules would have a bad influence on Concubine Wei, and Concubine Wei was too embarrassed to ask Li Shimin to let her ex-husband's daughter enter the palace.
Li Shen has to handle this matter himself. He has no shame anyway, so he doesn't care about any impact.
If all else fails, just throw a million dollars in your dad's face and all the influence will be eliminated.
"Your Highness, it's really not easy for a concubine." Lan Yu'er said with a hint of sadness on her face.
"Yu'er, do you know something else?"
Looking at Lan Yuer's expression, Li Shen felt that there was something else behind her words.
Lan Yuer was about to say something but stopped herself, and Li Shen winked at Shi Tou.
Shi Tou understood and immediately went to the outer room, opened the door and looked inside, then came back and shook his head.
"Go ahead." Li Shen changed his posture.
"Sigh~~~" Lan Yu'er sighed again. She had followed Concubine Wei for a long time, otherwise she would not have handed Li Shen over to her to raise since he was a child.
“Your Majesty, when the Imperial Concubine entered the Prince of Qin’s Palace, it wasn’t just the Imperial Concubine herself, there were also Concubine Yan, Concubine Yin, and Concubine Yang.
Besides, His Majesty already had a wife at that time, and he had no feelings for the imperial concubines."
Li Shen knew that in a marriage of arranged marriage, there was no emotion involved, and he also knew that a lot of people shared one man, and they only got a little.
Isn’t it the same now?
"The imperial concubine has been a widow for eight years. She can endure the loneliness. When she has nothing to do in the Qin Palace, she teaches the young lady to read and write.
It took three years before Princess Linchuan was born.
After being named a noble concubine, I had you, my prince."
Li Shen nodded after hearing this. He knew all these things.
Li Shen later studied why his mother, a widow, was conferred the title of imperial concubine, second only to the queen.
First, his mother was from a prominent family in Guanzhong, and Li Shimin needed support after he successfully seized the throne.
Second, Concubine Yang was the daughter of Emperor Yang of Sui, and her identity was not appropriate. Concubine Yin’s father had a grudge against the Li family and dug up all of the Li family’s ancestral graves.
Concubine Yan had no children at the time, so her mother was the best candidate because of her high family background.
In the palace, decorated with gold and jade, the eunuchs' drawn-out voices echoed between the pillars.
You can imagine how happy my mother was at that time.
"Yu'er, please tell me something that I don't know." Li Shen became a little anxious after hearing this.
Lan Yuer hesitated for a moment before saying:
"Your Majesty, the county lady and the imperial concubine have been dependent on each other since childhood. In fact, they have been accompanying each other.
Originally, the Imperial Concubine wanted to find a good husband for the County Princess.
But.....Alas, in the end, His Majesty married a Hu person. The customs of the Hu and Han people were different, and life was hard. The imperial concubine was heartbroken at the time.
But for the sake of my country, there is no other way."
"Hmph." Li Shen snorted after hearing this. What do you mean it's for the sake of family, country and the world? He was forced to do it.
His father was not a good person either, and Li Shen could fully understand what his mother was feeling at that time.
The daughter lost her father at a young age and has suffered a lot with her since childhood. The mother must hope that her daughter can live a better life in the future.
As a result, my stepfather gave me to the Turks as a gift. How could I not be sad?
In all dynasties, marriages were arranged between girls from the royal family or clan families. What my father did was a bit too much.
Of course, this is also Li Shen's view from Concubine Wei's perspective.
Different standpoints lead to different moods. There is no right or wrong in this world.
If it weren't for me, my elder sister might not have such a good life.
It was bitterly cold outside the Great Wall, and following Ashina Zhong to the northern grasslands was a lot of suffering.
(I looked up the story of Concubine Wei and thought it was pretty good, so I wrote it down.
Some people may not be interested, please forgive me.)
