Fairy Road Return [comprehensive]

Since noon, stories about Yang Ruoxi and Yang Ruomei's sisters have been circulating in Chang'an City. Officials of the Tang court looked at each other. They all have daughters in their families, and they were all taught according to the upbringing of aristocratic families. Your Majesty always talks about him, of course they all followed His Majesty from Taiyuan, and they still know about the relationship between His Majesty and the Prince, so they are just reminding His Majesty, and His Majesty will definitely put pressure on His Highness, they They are all waiting and watching, even if His Highness the Crown Prince cannot choose the candidate for the Crown Princess at this time, the candidate for the Crown Princess will definitely be decided within half a year. Never thought that His Highness the Crown Prince would choose the princess of the previous dynasty...

This is so unexpected...

Because Li Tang established the dynasty, and the world is not peaceful yet, except for those who have been following Li Yuan in the uprising, all the other aristocratic families are watching, especially some famous super aristocratic families, they do not care about the position of a crown princess. In two or three hundred years, noble daughters of aristocratic families are much more noble than princesses. Moreover, although the Li family is also from the Li family in Longxi, in the eyes of real noble families, they are just upstarts. The pursuit of literati, this is their status as a super family.

When Wei Ting, Jia Ting and others heard this rumor, they were trying to distinguish its authenticity. Jia Ting and the others were different from Wei Ting. Wei Ting and Li Jiancheng grew up together and had a very good relationship with Li Jiancheng. After Li Xie came and got in touch with him, he found that the other person hadn't come out yet, so this small relationship was still maintained. When Wei Ting first heard the news, he felt anxious like a fire.

It's a pity that after Li Xie left the palace, he disappeared. Wei Ting and the others admired Li Xie's whereabouts. He didn't want anyone to know the whereabouts of His Royal Highness, because no one could follow him.

When Li Xie returned to the Prince's Mansion in the middle of the afternoon, a plaque was finally hung on his mansion, and the gilded words "Prince's Mansion" were shining brightly in the sun.When he got home, he was instructing Shi Chong to renovate the mansion, because finally there will be a mistress, and the main courtyard needs to be remodeled to make it suitable for women to live in. It can't be rigid, rigid, and without a little warmth like theirs.

This stumped Shi Chong. As an upright man over forty years old, his aesthetics was not as good as that of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Speaking of His Royal Highness's request, Mammy asked for some decorations, they bought them, and asked Mammy to give some pointers.

After talking with Shi Chong, while Li Xie was taking a sip of water, Wei Ting rushed in hastily.

Wei Ting was out of breath, Li Xie handed him a glass of water, and said slowly: "Come on, it won't be too late to talk about your breathlessness."

Wei Ting couldn't stop laughing, His Royal Highness is not in a hurry, why is he in a hurry?But he felt that His Highness the Crown Prince was the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, who could match any noble woman in the world, so how could he be slandered by the world because of the former princess?

"Your Highness, have you heard the rumors outside?" Wei Ting bowed and asked while watching the prince's expression.

Li Xie raised his eyebrows: "What do you want to say? Just say it."

This Wei Ting, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, after he became the crown prince, his status has risen suddenly, so he has been a little smug.

"Your Highness, it can't be true that you are going to marry the princess of the Sui Dynasty as the concubine?" Wei Ting's eyes magnified countless times, and his expression gradually became anxious.

Li Xie nodded, and he immediately said eagerly: "Your Highness, you are now the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty. You can choose any noble woman in the world. Why choose the princess of the Sui Dynasty?"

Li Xie frowned slightly, he didn't interrupt him, let Wei Ting say, Wei Ting didn't insult the princess of the Sui Dynasty inside and outside the words, just looked down on every word, that's all, it's the world situation, he can't refute, But he turned to elevate those aristocratic daughters, which is a bit wrong.

"Your Highness, even if you think I'm overreaching, I still have to say it. Originally, you were not keen on the candidate for the crown princess. I think you can take it easy. After the Tang Dynasty ruled the world, you can choose the noble women in the world. I have inquired about it." , Fanyang Lu, Rongyang Zheng, and Qinghe Cui all have suitable women in their families, and these noble women are good matches for His Highness."

Wei Ting finished speaking in one breath, and when he evened his breath, Li Xie raised his hand and pressed down, frowned and said: "Yun Liang, do you know how these so-called super aristocratic identities come from? It's because people like you went up."

Wei Ting drank a cup of tea in one breath, his eyes were blank when he heard His Highness's words.

"Let me ask you, who is more grateful for giving charcoal in the snow or icing on the cake?" A trace of sarcasm slipped from the corner of Li Xie's mouth. If he was not in the position of the prince of the Li family, he would have no opinion on the actions of those nobles, but in his current position, he Those so-called thousand-year-old nobles who are still on the sidelines are completely contemptuous.

Now the local warlords are divided, but each warlord treats the big families like Cui, Lu, Zheng, and Wang very politely. However, these people think that the warlords and even Li Tang are just upstarts and are not worthy A thousand-year-old family like theirs would not marry their daughters to these people when the situation was completely stabilized. Even if the situation stabilized, they would have to raise their status and attract the attention of the world, so they had no choice but to marry.

What about this behavior?In fact, there is nothing wrong with it, every family has to think for itself, but standing in Li Xie's current position, he scoffs at these thousand-year-old families, if they still want to suppress Li Tang's reputation and raise their reputation, he will let them know why are flowers so red!

Wei Ting immediately said: "Of course, it is the gift of charcoal in the snow that makes people grateful, and a lifetime of gratitude." He also emphasized at the end of the sentence.

With an evil smile on the corner of Li Xie's mouth, he put down his teacup and said, "To me, any family of officials in the Tang court now makes me more grateful than these so-called aristocratic families. There are no so-called super families, what do they have that I value?"

Wei Ting opened his mouth wide and was speechless for a long time. The Wei family has a great reputation now, and it took several generations of hard work to climb to the current position. They respect the nobles of the family from the bottom of their hearts, because Wei's goal is to replace those The super family of his family, and his family has become a super family noble in the eyes of the world.

But now, His Royal Highness's words are like clearing the clouds and fog. He blindly worships the nobles of the family, and wants to marry a daughter of the nobles like the world. Because of this kind of thinking, he is not good at women, and there is only one wife in the backyard. People, because he felt that no matter how many women he married, he couldn't compare to the glimpse of that year.

Li Xie said with a calm expression: "Wei Ting, do you feel that the world is torn apart, and now I can't match those noble girls? Only after Li Tang unifies the world, I, the only prince of the dynasty, can match the super family Your daughter? There have been a lot of people beating around in front of you recently, right?"

Wei Ting blinked and stammered: "Your Highness, what is the meaning of this?"

Li Xie hooked his lips: "You should go back and check, what kind of people are constantly reminding you in your ears that the noble status of a noble daughter of an aristocratic family can only make me a dignified prince of a country after he unifies the world?" It matches the noble and unparalleled status of a noble daughter of a thousand-year-old super family."

He doesn't think that the Cui family and other aristocratic families are really completely out of the picture. They raise their status high now because they still can't judge who can rule the world?If they can be 100% sure which one can completely unify the world, they will also invest, but they don't know, so they dare not invest.

They dare not invest, but they must not let it go, otherwise, when the world is unified, where will they still have a place in the world?So they will definitely send their own people to remind the superiors at various warlords of their detachment and dignity.

Wei Ting still looked at Li Xie blankly, Li Xie glared at him, then waved it like a fly, Wei Ting turned around, and left the Prince's Mansion with blank eyes still, Li Xie asked Shi Chong to send someone to follow him until he saw him Back to Wei Mansion.

Wei Ting's father passed away a long time ago, and the Wei family is now two households. His elder brother Wei Xihou, of course, this is not his elder brother's title, but his elder brother's name is Wei Xihou, but the elder brother is older than Wei Ting A middle-aged man in his teens, now in his forties, who works in the imperial court, and his position is not high.

When Wei Xihou came home from get off work, he was told by the housekeeper that his younger brother had been sitting in the study all afternoon and hadn't come out yet. The housekeeper said that he was ordered by the second wife to comfort him.

After knocking on the door, Wei Xihou directly opened the door of the study and went in. He saw his younger brother sitting behind the desk with a pensive expression on his face.

"Second brother, what's the matter with you?" Wei Xihou was surprised. Since the Wei family's status was promoted because of His Royal Highness, his younger brother was full of vigor, and he hadn't seen such a serious expression for a long time.

Wei Ting raised his head, saw his elder brother, got up and bowed to his elder brother, and said, "I'm thinking about a question."

"What troubles you?" Wei Xihou immediately sat down opposite his younger brother, his expression serious: "Why don't you tell me, brother will analyze it for you."

Wei Ting thought about it for a while, and it seemed that he couldn't say it, so he immediately told his troubled problem, but after Wei Xihou heard it, he didn't feel any strange.

"Brother, you don't seem surprised at all?"

Wei Xihou said coldly: "What's the accident? It's just a method, our family also uses it."

He glanced at Wei Ting before he said: "His Royal Highness is right, the status of these so-called super aristocratic families is still promoted by blind admirers like you, but for the aristocratic family, there is no problem, and there is no problem Right or wrong, this is the means we must use to protect the status and identity of the family, and if we are in their position, we must use this method, otherwise, there will be no place for them in the world in the future."

Wei Xihou's mind was spinning quickly, thinking in his heart, since His Royal Highness understands clearly, he will not accommodate the so-called super family like the people in the past. Of course, His Royal Highness will give them a chance, but they must step down first. Otherwise, if they want to integrate into Datang, it will be no easier than poor students.

"Okay, now that you've figured it out, treat your siblings well in the future, and don't worry about people you shouldn't. It's not worth it." As an elder brother who raised his younger brother like a son, Wei Xihou said to The younger brother's matter is still very clear, outsiders say that the younger brother is not close to women, but it is not true, it is because there is a white moonlight in this girl's heart.

Wei Ting blushed immediately, and said hesitantly, "Brother, how do you know?"

"Don't underestimate younger siblings. Women are very sensitive to this matter. How you have treated younger siblings these years is how younger siblings have treated you. To put it bluntly, if you die suddenly in the future, younger siblings will be sad, but never I won't be sad, because you don't take her seriously, and she won't take you seriously, and feelings are exchanged with sincerity."

Wei Xihou sighed: "What do you have that I don't know?" Now he is thinking about how to replace a super family like the Cui family and make the Wei family more famous than before.

Fortunately, they followed the right person, otherwise the Wei family, and even the entire Wei family would have fallen into the embarrassing situation of Cui and the others. He had no doubts about the ability of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

And now is their chance, if they can step down Cui Shi, Lu Shi, etc., he will gladly follow it!

In the imperial palace, Concubine Wan Gui held a banquet in the palace, and the servant girls invited sisters Yang Ruoxi, and all the concubines in the harem were all dressed up to attend, they all came to see the beauty of the princess of the Sui Dynasty who fascinated His Highness the Crown Prince.

Sisters Yang Ruoxi wore plain clothes and didn't wear heavy makeup. Under such circumstances, they couldn't help themselves and couldn't be filial to their father, but at least they would pay attention to what they ate and dressed.

Of course Concubine Wan Gui and others didn't see it in front of others. When the concubines saw Yang Ruoxi, they evaluated in their hearts, saying that she is beautiful, and she is indeed beautiful, but she has a certain characteristic. It will also stop on her unconsciously.

Speaking of which, in the minds of the world, the status of princesses has long been inferior to that of noble girls from aristocratic families. Even in the Sui Dynasty for more than 20 years, the status of princesses in Sui Dynasty was higher than that of noble girls. Feel a little surprised.

This is just a banquet attended by the royal family members. Today, the news has spread, and the world is curious about who these two princesses of the Sui Dynasty are?What kind of stunning appearance can captivate His Highness the Crown Prince?Therefore, many concubines, wives and daughters of the imperial family attended this palace banquet of Concubine Wan Gui, and the eldest grandson Wuyou, as Princess Qin, was naturally among them.

"Sister, why are they all looking at us?" Yang Ruomei was very disturbed and didn't dare to lift her eyes at all. She used to be a little transparent in the palace, but suddenly she became the focus of their eyes, and she wasn't used to it.

Yang Ruoxi lowered her eyes and said: "Don't worry, you just need to maintain your demeanor, but remember, you must be neither humble nor overbearing to anyone, no matter how we, the princess of the subjugated country, are in the eyes of others, we must not lose our integrity first."

The road is made by people, and respect also starts with yourself. Only when you respect yourself, others will respect you.

Yang Ruomei raised her head half-understood, looked straight ahead, then picked up a teacup and slowly brewed tea, pretending to be enjoying the singing and dancing on the stage.

The concubines and the concubines and wives of the royal family secretly commented that the calm performance of the three princesses of the Sui Dynasty was enough to give her extra points. The eldest grandson Wuyou sighed in his heart. /Fu, that will definitely be her archenemy.

After the palace banquet was over, news about Yang Ruoxi's sisters spread through the mouths of the concubines and wives, making Chang'an city officials and their wives more and more curious about her.

However, sister Yang Ruoxi didn't leave the palace, even if she kindly invited her, she said that she closed her door to pray for blessings recently, she failed the kindness of the wives, and she will definitely make amends in the future, etc.

On this day, Li Yuan issued an edict in the court, asking Pei Ji to go to Qianshuiyuan to supervise the army. Pei Ji received the imperial edict, his face was a little dark, and he silently glanced at Li Xie on the left.

His Royal Highness is going too far. All His Royal Highness's troops are going to fight, and there is no room for civil servants like them to talk. What is he going to do?It should be very happy to just go to get a piece of credit, and change to other people, but he is not happy at all.

After coming down to court, Pei Ji and Feng Deyi came together and received congratulations from others, Feng Deyi said: "Xuanzhen, why are you serious? Ask yourself, will you know how to fight?"

Pei Ji shook his head, Feng Deyi stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Isn't that all right? There are specializations in art, and you have to obey the arrangements of the generals in war. Your duty is to supervise, each perform their own duties, and receive their own share." Credit, why not do it?"

"Hmph." Pei Jixin replied unwillingly, knowing that he was not a military advisor, but it was another matter for others to look down on him.

Pei Ji packed his bags and set off with a group of soldiers sent by the imperial court, but he knew that tonight, there would be a war in Qianshuiyuan and Longxi.

After Li Xie's morning court was over, he followed Li Yuan to the Imperial Study Room. Li Yuan ignored him, but he was quite at ease. Li Yuan didn't pay attention to him until he ate something to fill his stomach.

"You don't have to be so courteous. If I say no to agree, I just don't agree."

Li Xie smiled and said: "Father, I'm not in a hurry, I just want to talk to you about the fact that people in the court have been talking to Cui Shi and Lu Shi who are far away in the sky."

Li Xie's expression was very serious, and Li Yuan's expression couldn't help becoming serious. He could resolutely reject his son in private matters, but he couldn't in business matters. It seemed that he was too dependent on his son.

Li Yuan frowned slightly, and Li Xie raised his eyebrows. These people in the court are just restless, thinking about creating discord every day, alienating his relationship with his younger brothers, and alienating his relationship with his father, can't they stop for a while?

With a look from Li Xie, the waiter Jiang Nei and the people in the study all left. Li Yuan hadn't noticed this yet, so Li Xie said at this moment: "Father, I don't speak well, but you have to listen."

Li Yuan said angrily: "You still know that speaking is not pleasant, so you can't speak well?"

"Your ears are a bit soft, but at certain times you are particularly hard-headed in certain aspects, so that your son doesn't know how to evaluate you." Li Xie admired him a little bit, if a person has a deep love in his heart Prejudice, no matter who clarifies it, Li Yuan is unlikely to change it.

But on the other hand, he has unlimited tolerance and indulgence to those he approves of. Among them, Pei Ji is the most important one. Li Xie thought that if the two of them had no affair, he would have suspected that they had an improper relationship between men and women. up.

Li Yuan himself would not feel that something was wrong, he stared at his son angrily, Li Xie gave him an example, after Pei Ji, some famous people were recommended to him by some ministers during the period of the court.

"...Did you forget what I told you before? Are you sure you want to use my reputation, Li Tang, to achieve the supreme reputation of others?" Li Xie simply came to him and sat down, counting with his fingers one by one. , "If these people have made any contribution to the establishment of our Datang, then I can still figure it out. What is the problem? These people have made no contribution to our Datang, and they want to use their previous reputation to let us treat him as Confess like a god? Daddy, you are so stupid! If you let them do what they want, you, the emperor, and even Li Tang will be crushed by others and unable to turn over."

Li Yuan rolled his eyes and sighed: "Isn't this the lack of people in our court? They are well-known, and they only need our consent to go to the office to handle affairs. They won't be like newcomers who don't understand anything and have to deal with it." Take the time to develop."

"Then I would rather train newcomers than such old people. These people will become obstacles to the government's government orders in the future." Li Xie said indifferently, frowning slightly: "Actually, many things in the office do not need these so-called old people to decide. Newcomers I am more enthusiastic about doing things than them, even if there will be some troubles in the early stage, but there are loopholes to make progress, this is not a problem at all.”

"My son once again emphasized that no matter who wants to be an official in the future, he can't rely on his previous reputation, and he can't give it to a high-ranking official. If he has sincerity, he can recommend himself and start from the bottom. Isn't he capable? I will give the opportunity and have the ability Those who are still in the same rank can be promoted in two or three years."

Li Yuan frowned: "What if everyone strikes down?"

Li Xie said again: "Don't worry, the imperial court will not be short of talents. My son has already recruited a group of young and energetic talents. When needed, my son will let these aristocratic children take a look. This world cannot be turned around without anyone." .”

Wanting to command his army is a dream!

Li Yuan has no idea. Since the Cao Wei period, in order to suppress the aristocrats, he has issued a series of decrees. It is not a failure. Over the years, the aristocratic status of the aristocrats is higher than that of the royal family. In order to govern the world, the royal family has to compromise with the nobles of the world, otherwise It was another change, not good for the court or the common people. Even if the power of the aristocrats was to be weakened, it had to be done step by step, not so recklessly.

My son is so reckless, what if something happens?For their own benefit, those aristocrats can do anything.

"Da Lang, you can't be so anxious about this matter. Most of the officials in the court now come from big and small families, and they won't just watch their own interests suffer."

Li Xie nodded: "I know, Dad, don't worry, there are a few unfilial sons in every household, as long as they are used well, they can only compromise in the end."

Some of the talents recruited by Li Xie were not recruited in the name of the Prince's Mansion, but were recruited by Qingyun Pavilion based on the principle of friendly assistance and mutual assistance. Of course, these people are in the dark and have no idea what the organization they join does. It is because of the approval of others that he dedicated his blood and took over the rich or unfavored children of most officials in the imperial court. Anyway, he secretly adjusted/taught them well, and waited until these aristocrats initiated When they protest, it is time for them to contribute.

Li Yuan's eyes straightened immediately, and he said that his son Yan Huai Yan Huai, he really could do anything.

"Really, aren't you afraid that the courtiers will scold you behind your back for being insulting to gentlemen?"

Li Xie said coldly: "If you have the ability to scold me in front of me!"

The father and son spent so much time chatting, Li Yuan was in a good mood. To be honest, he was old and energetic as before, and now he was the emperor, his status had reached the highest in his life, and his son was filial, so he was not dissatisfied.

Leaving from the imperial study, Lixie will go to the west office, it will be almost noon, the hot sun is hanging in the sky, sister Yang Ruoxi is working as a female celebrity on the porch.

Seeing Li Xie, the two sisters stood up and saluted one after another: "See Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Xie stretched out his hand to support her, and said to Yang Ruomei, "Seventh lady, I'm talking to your elder sister, you go into the room."

He didn't want to have a few light bulbs around him when he was cultivating a relationship with Yaoyao. Yang Ruomei was quite afraid of him, but when he heard this, he still looked at his sister and waited for her order.

Yang Ruoxi nodded, Yang Ruomei and maid Ying'er had entered the room, Liu He hurried to the next side room to make a pot of tea.
