Chapter 261: Big Wedding (Part 2)

Suddenly, the crowd heard the mountain shouting: "Long live, long live!"

The people are not fools, even in Chang'an, many people rely on water to make a living. They all know what impact they will have on Chang'an as soon as the new canal is opened.

Li Zhi's face changed slightly.

Looking at his father's expression, Li Wei thought maliciously that his father came to grab the credit and it was a bit late. Of course, at the beginning, his father was worried and there were various factors. The censors opposed it. The fundraising was not going well and the project volume was very large. So he was always "ill".

In the past, I was kind and had few people who could benefit, and I had no political achievements. Now I benefited a lot of people and had political achievements to do. Even if my father was dissatisfied with him, at most, he would be abolished. But if the public opinion was like this, he would have to think twice before he could do it. Unless he was "inexplicably" in his death, his mother might do it, but his father could not do it.

The father and son kept changing their thoughts, and the ministers were also changing their thoughts.

The prince has done something, but what should the emperor do?

This is not a minister. Today, your county magistrate is doing well. Tomorrow you will be an assassin, and then transfer you to the court to be a minister, and then you will be a prime minister. But as a prime minister, a minister will be the top, and at worst you will be rewarded with another title. But as a royal family, a duke will be the top. If there is no reward, what should I do? I have to try every means to find your mistakes, demote the position, or transfer it to another department. After a period of time, I will be re-activated. At worst, I will be old and become the Minister of the Secretariat or the Minister of the Secretariat like Yan Liben, which is the truth. But the truth is actually very small, and gradually becomes an honorary position, but the Prime Minister does not make the power of great power.

But there is still room for activities. But what should the prince do? Could it be that you will not be the prince today and be sent to another state as a governor, and in a few years, you will be transferred back to become the prince? Or the prince wants to be promoted, how can he be promoted? Once he is promoted, he will become the emperor.

The more the prince does, the more the ministers feel a headache.

The people shouted long live in the mountains, but these important figures in the field were quiet. However, Wu Zetian was very thoughtful and said, "Honger, come here."

Li Wei walked over.

Wu Zetian touched his head and said, "You did a good job, especially the time you treated the censor."

It is not possible to say that the censor is not good, but if it continues to develop, the opposition is getting louder and louder. The prince is just a governor. In the end, the minister may retreat in the face of pressure and it is impossible to proceed so smoothly. It did not hurt the censors' kindness, but just let them go around the three doors.

Li Wei said: "I also want to thank my mother for her reminder, otherwise the child would not know what to do."

Wu Zetian looked at the sky and said, "It's not too early, I've seen it again. Your Majesty, let's go back to the palace."

October is coming, and the sky is getting shorter. In just a blink of an eye, I see the sun is about to set. So I set off and returned to Beijing.

When Li Wei returned to the East Palace, he immediately asked someone to call Di Renjie and Wei Yuanzhong, and together with Yao Yuanchong and Ximen who were preparing for next year's scientific examination, they called over here. When they arrived, Li Wei sent all the eunuchs, including Bier, and said, "Everyone, can you come up with a way to make the marriage between Gu and the Pei family fail?"

"Crown Prince, no," Wei Yuanzhong said immediately.

I thought the prince called them to come to build new canals and the people's mountain call, and wanted to analyze the gains and losses, but I didn't expect that it was for the matter of the Crown Princess.

"Gu also knows that, but Gu originally had no feelings for the daughter of the Pei family, and so many things happened. Yang Min and Xu Qidan died in Lingnan because of this. How can Gu get along with the daughter of the Pei family in the future? Not only did he harm Gu, but he also harmed her."

"Your Highness, people will change. Even if you have feelings now, you will have feelings in the future? Marriage is originally a struggle between the two, and they respect each other as guests. If you have not had a big marriage, how can you say that feelings are?"

"Now there is no emotion, so how can we talk about the future? Well, I have no say," Although the people of the Tang Dynasty are open-minded, marriages are still mostly arranged, which is just slightly better than the cruel conservatives of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is impossible to talk about free love now.

He gave up, but Di Renjie and Wei Yuanzhong refused to give in. Di Renjie took Wei Yuanzhong's words and said, "The Censor Wei's words are reasonable. Besides, the wedding of Your Highness is the crown princess. You cannot look at others with beauty, but morality."

"Di Qing, you are not unaware of it. Jiang Bier may not be as good as the young lady of the Yang family, but she has a very high status in Gu Xin."

"That's it. Or Xu and Yang, your highness was guilty, but they did make mistakes at that time. Pei Sheren impeached him. Pei Sheren did not want such consequences. Moreover, the Pei family is a prominent family, and many people are officials in the court. How can they hate all the Pei family just because Pei Sheren is?"

"Di Qing, that's not the case. Mr. Pei also came from the Pei family, so Gu had never been hostile. Gu was not even hostile to the daughter of the Pei family. He just thought... he just said nothing and everyone had tea."

Di Renjie still did not let it go, and said, "What is the position of the Crown Princess? It not only requires morality, but also virtuous and virtuous. The Pei family daughter is the only choice. Or look at the young ladies you know, Xu Sheren's daughter is lively and active. As a concubine in the East Palace, you can also adjust the atmosphere of the East Palace. As the Crown Princess, do you think it is okay?"

Li Wei couldn't answer. He really had to carefully choose his regular wife, but Xu Li was a little worse.

"Then it was Yang Weiqing's daughter. Although she was better to Your Highness later, if her condition had not improved, she would have always been disgusted with Your Highness. Although her mother instigated her, her own heart was not pure. Don't compare with others, such as the queen. Once Your Majesty is sick, she will immediately be short of her crown and will serve His Majesty almost day and night. Can the young lady of the Yang family do it?"

After saying this, Li Wei is not sure.

"Or it's Wei Liangdi. She is still young and has a good personality in the future. It's unknown, but can Your Highness wait until the day when Wei Liangdi becomes an adult?"

Even if he waited, he would not be able to make Wei Yue the crown princess. Although he was close to Mo Du Mo and Zhu Du Zhu, he was always worried about Wei Yue. Li Wei sighed and said, "If you follow what Di Qing said, you are loyal to Gu and gentle and virtuous, only Jiang Bier can do it."

Saying it means not saying it. If you ascend the throne yourself, you may be more favored by Bier or be named one of the nine concubines, and you will ascend to heaven. Even if the fourth wife's concubine wants to be enthroned, in this era when she still values ​​family level, it is probably impossible to achieve it because of the advice of the ministers.

Di Renjie then said earnestly: "Pei Yan is Pei Yan, the little lady of the Pei Jinwu family, and he is Pei Xiaoma. Your Highness is not someone else, so how can he have little influence on others? He can't love the house and hate the house and the house and the house and the house."

"I know," after more than a thousand years, even Di Renjie could not communicate with this idea, so Li Wei bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

...

The Guangtong Channel has officially started construction. Compared with the previous construction, it is very enthusiastic this time. It is rarely seen that people are grinding and making rapid progress. At the same time, honeycomb coal has also begun to come out and is easy to make, but it is not made by machines. It is an iron coal eye and artificial coal. Li Wei taught the people to mix yellow mud and teach the people to make iron stoves. The most important thing is to open a blind window above the house. Not to mention carbon monoxide, but only said that some slight poison gas will be produced when burning. But I was afraid that it would scare the people, and I said that the amount of poison gas is very small and very light. As long as a blind window is opened on it, the poison gas will rise immediately and will not cause harm to the human body.

Fortunately, with the hot air balloon, it is not very difficult to explain that the air is light and heavy.

In fact, there is no big problem when cooking, but in the late winter in Guanzhong, the weather is cold, so I am afraid that the people will use it to keep warm and seal all doors and windows. This is even more harmful than charcoal.

But these things are not the wedding of the prince that will attract the attention of the people.

The grievances between the prince and the girls are widely circulated among the people, whether it is the Yang family or the Xu family, but now that things have come to this point, thinking about the Pei family, they all send blessings to the prince. The Mid-Autumn Festival in Chang'an City is getting stronger day by day. To be precise, autumn is about to end and winter is coming, and all the deciduous trees have half of their dead leaves, but they are full of festive atmosphere.

But what about the parties involved?

Although Li Wei was not happy, Pei Judao was not happy either. If the conflicts and misunderstandings with the prince were not resolved, his daughter would not be happy even if she married into the Eastern Palace. In fact, it was very bitter. At that time, Yang Sijian's wife did not want to marry her daughter into the Eastern Palace and was safe and safe. Later, she repented. The Yang family's daughter had a good relationship with the prince, but there was a change. The conflicts in her family were intensified, but the two emperors turned a blind eye to it. This marriage was going to be held.

I'm afraid I can't find the prince, so I found Pei Xingjian.

Pei Xingjian found Li Wei and said, "Your Highness, do you believe in the character of a minister?"

"Believe," Li Wei replied. He fought with Pei Xingjian and did not mention it, but did not mention it in a single battle. In fact, he still respected Pei Xingjian very much. He had literary talent and martial arts. This was the real minister who was both civil and military. Although Li Jing became a general and prime minister, he was slightly inferior in civil and political affairs.

"Although I came from the Pei family, I have a poor family in the Pei family."

Li Wei now knows this history. Pei Xingjian's father Pei Renji was originally a general under Zhang Xutuo. Zhang Xutuo surrendered to the Wagang army after being defeated by Li Mi. Later, when Li Mi fought with Wang Shichong, Pei Renji offered advice, but Li Mi refused to listen. Soon, Li Mi was defeated at the foot of Beim Mountain, and Pei's father and son were captured. One was named the Minister of Rites and the other served as the General Zuofu. The father and son were good at fighting and were born in a prominent family, which made Wang Shichong very afraid. The Pei's father and son were uneasy. The Pei's father and son were uneasy.

, he wanted to unite Yuwen Rutong, Yuwen Wen, Cui Deben and others to overthrow Wang Shichong and re-enforce Yang Tong, who was deposed by Wang Shichong as the king. He failed and was killed by Wang Shichong, three clans were killed. Pei Xingjian was an orphan and was lucky enough to save his life. What kind of fate would an orphan and widowed mother have in the Pei family? Strictly speaking, it was the Tang Dynasty who cared for and raised him to become an adult and receive education. Therefore, although he was born in the Pei family, his relationship with the Pei family in Hedong was very weak.

Li Wei nodded.

Pei Xingjian continued: "I should not interfere in the matter of the Prince's East Palace. But I and Pei Jinwu have also been in the capital for several years and have visited each other occasionally. If the prince chooses the prince, according to my opinion, the little lady of the Pei Jinwu family will be the only choice."

Li Wei didn't say anything.

Pei Xingjian continued: "Pei Jinwu came to my house to invite me to be a lobbyist. But I came here not for the lobbyist, but for the sake of Your Highness and for the future of the country. Please wait and see what this woman is like."

After saying that, he said goodbye.

But no matter whether Pei Xingjian is a lobbyist or not, even if no one persuades him, Li Wei was helpless. He would not mention his strong and noble parents. In this era, how many children dared to object to the marriage agreed by ordinary people?

...

The fourteenth is here, and the weather is good on this day, with clear and cool autumn air, cool breeze rustling, and cloudless.

The official of Li said: "It's a good omen."
Chapter completed!
