Tiantang Splendid

Fang Jundao: "The matter of measuring the acres of land is related to the national policy, and it is even more related to the interests of the empire. It is an indispensable part of the implementation of His Majesty's New Deal. As long as it is completed persistently, the country's strength will be greatly improved. I firmly support it."

Xu Jingzong said: "Your Majesty is wise. Since it is an established national policy, it can only be implemented with all the strength of the whole country. Anyone who obstructs it will be severely punished."

Ma Zhou also said: "Let's stop discussing whether it is necessary to measure the acres of land. From now on, we will only discuss how to implement it, so as to avoid repetition and waste of time."

Li Ji was drinking tea at the side, frowning slightly.

He was slightly dissatisfied with the matter of measuring the acres of fields, not because of this matter, but because he was dissatisfied with himself as the head of the prime minister in name but did not know the real intention behind it, which was enough to show that the emperor still did not trust him deeply .

But this is also human nature. After all, His Majesty did not swear to support the mutiny at the most critical moment.

But is it the right behavior to put all the powerful families in the world on the opposite side and completely ignore the uproar of opposition from the world?

Liu Jie had a gloomy face and said nothing. He naturally knew that he could not stop the implementation of the measurement of land and acres. But as a civil official leader, with all the powerful families standing behind him, he must firmly express his position. As long as he can stand up in name, whether he can Success is not very important.

In fact, no one knows what the emperor's hidden plans are. It doesn't matter to measure the acres, or to draw a map, but I always feel that it will not be so simple-if I really draw a map, I will pour the power of the whole country and go my own way regardless of the opposition of the courtiers. How different is the arrogant and lustful Sui Yang Emperor?
In any case, the successors cultivated by Emperor Taizong will definitely not be so absurd and inferior.

*****
It's the twelfth lunar month and the end of the new year is approaching.

Strictly speaking, there was no "Spring Festival" in the Tang Dynasty, but the various rituals were extremely rich, making it the most important festival of the year, with "the first hundred festivals beginning".

The first day of the first lunar month is called "Yuanzheng", which is the beginning of the year. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty once issued a decree: "Yuanzheng and Winter Solstice will each give seven days off."At this time, the most important thing is the clan. As the head of the clan in the world, the royal clan is even more complicated and busy with various ceremonies, and even the married princess must participate in them.

In the Hall of Wude, Empress Su is receiving Princess Fangling, Princess Jiujiang, and Princess Huainan who entered the palace to discuss various ceremonies for the New Year. Princess Changle and Princess Jinyang, who have just returned to the palace from Zhongnan Mountain Taoist Temple, are on the side.

When girls get together, business matters are often agreed upon in a few words, and then the parents have quarrels.

Princess Fangling sighed and said, "Duke Ande County is seriously ill. The news that came out a few days ago may not be good. I don't know if this New Year's Eve will be over."

Yang Shidao, Duke of Ande County, is Princess Changguang's son-in-law, he is only 60 years old this year, he has been suffering from serious illnesses like mountains, medicine and stones are ineffective, and he is already counting the days.

Emperor Gaozu gave birth to nineteen daughters, the longest living one is Princess Gaomi, and the next is Princess Changguang...

Princess Jiujiang put down the white porcelain tureen in her hand, and said calmly: "Your life is in the sky, if the time has come, why should you be sad?"

Princess Fangling sneered: "Heh, that one of yours is fierce, but you should have some sympathy for others, right?"

Princess Jiujiang was not good at words, so she said: "Why am I not sympathetic?"

A little ashamed and annoyed, they stared at each other angrily.

Her son-in-law, Zhi Shi Si Li, is a Turkic man, who is exactly [-] this year, but he is physically strong and energetic, and Emperor Taizong praised him many times for his bravery and combat skills.

Princess Fangling: "Oh, that look is murderous, can't you just say nice things?"

Princess Jiujiang turned her head and ignored her. Although Princess Fangling was her own older sister, it was not a good thing to be praised by her as "dragon is fine and tiger is fierce".

Could it be for his own son-in-law's idea?

Although she is a younger sister, this elder sister is gorgeous and well-maintained, and she looks like a beautiful woman in Huaxin. She is known as the "Royal Family with a Gorgeous Crown".

I'm a little flustered...

Princess Huainan who didn't make a sound said slightly annoyed: "In front of the empress, don't be rude and say what are you doing? The empress rules the six palaces and is busy with affairs. Let's leave as soon as we finish our business. Don't bother me." Queen."

Princess Fangling sneered and said: "Mr. Ande Jun is not an outsider, and he has a very deep relationship with Princess Changguang. If something unexpected happens, I don't know how sad Princess Changguang will be. How can there be nothing? It's just You have always been a man, but I never expected to be taught a lesson by you."

Princess Huainan's pretty face was flushed, she spat, and retorted: "The Ninth Sister may have come here today out of anger, to implicate our innocents, but I don't know where she got angry and wronged? Think about our Ninth Sister Husband has no such ability."

This time it was Princess Fangling's turn to flush.

She was originally married to Dou Fengjie, Duke of the State of Bing, the nephew of Empress Dowager Taimu's natal family, a descendant of an aristocratic family, and a handsome appearance. It was originally a good marriage that was admired by everyone in the royal family.It's just that she had an affair with Princess Changguang and Yang Shidao's son Yang Yuzhi, which was learned by Dou Fengjie, and then Dou Fengjie beat Yang Yuzhi to death. Width.

Later, Emperor Taizong married her to the male Helan Sangha in Tonghua County. Although Helan Sangha was born in the Helan family, his great-grandfather He Lanxiang became an orphan when he was ten years old. .

Moreover, Helan Sangha is weak and sickly, with a cowardly temperament, so she can't be controlled, and she is allowed to be romantic and famous...

Watching a few old sisters here quarreling with each other, you come and go, while Princess Changle is sipping tea indifferently and turning a deaf ear, while Princess Jinyang has bright eyes and enjoys it with gusto.

Empress Su saw that these people were getting more and more unreasonable, so she hurriedly stopped her and said: "Aunts, please be calm, they are all sisters of our own family, why are you so tit-for-tat? Take a break, come here, and serve tea quickly. "

The princesses just gave up.

Princess Fangling was drinking tea, and seeing Princess Jinyang's relished expression, she felt upset, so she put down her teacup, and asked with a smile: "I heard that many people came to the door to say goodbye to my son recently, but I don't know which family's young lady they fell in love with?" Mr. Lang?"

She had heard about the scandal between Princess Jinyang and Fang Jun, but she didn't take it seriously.What Fang Jun said about "a good princess" and "a good wife and sister" are mostly nonsense. I, who is both a princess and an aunt, sent it to my door, and that fellow would not even touch it. How could I like Princess Jinyang like this? A yellow-haired girl who hasn't bloomed?
Most likely, it was Princess Jinyang who had the right idea, either because her heart belonged to her, and the other party was not of a high family background, so it was difficult for her to be a princess, or because the little girl was too young to be playful and didn't realize the beauty of the joy of fish and water after marriage...

Princess Jinyang raised her eyebrows, narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at Princess Fangling, and pursed her lips.

Is this aunt princess going to do something?

When mentioning this matter, Empress Su couldn't help stroking her forehead with her hands, the emerald green jade bracelet set off her bright wrists to bully Frost Saixue, her beautiful face was full of sadness, and she sighed: "Sizi has reached the age of Ji, but the marriage is getting worse and worse. It's frustrating, although many families have sent people to the palace to mention their marriage, but the children of those aristocratic families are rarely outstanding, and most of them are sensual and reckless. I can't pass even one level... But how can this matter be delayed? It's really worrying."

Princess Fangling glanced at Princess Jinyang's beautiful and pure face, and said with a smile to Empress Su: "Your son is beautiful and beautiful, and he is deeply loved by your majesty and princes. I really don't deserve it for you. On. But maybe the queen is a noble person who forgets things too much, and she chooses to stay away from a good marriage when she can't see her?"

Princess Huainan's heart tightened...

Empress Su's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly asked, "What does Auntie mean by that?"

Princess Fangling pointed at Princess Huainan with a jade-white finger, smiling like a flower: "The eldest son of the Feng family is probably 11 years old this year, right? It is said that he has inherited the advantages of the Bohai Feng family's handsome appearance and extraordinary intelligence. Waiting for Mr. Pian Pianjia, I think he can still get into the eyes of Mrs. Si."

Seeing several eyes all at once, Princess Huainan squeezed out an awkward smile, and cursed at Princess Fangling in her heart.

Princess Shang, is that a good thing?
None of the Princesses of the Tang Dynasty had a good temper, and some of them were dissolute and flattering. The Bohai Feng family is a prominent family, how can they tolerate such a headed mistress?
My husband has been complaining all day long after marrying himself as a princess, and he will definitely not marry another princess to his son...

But Princess Fangling mentioned at this moment, if the queen agrees, would it be possible that the Feng family would dare to violate the holy will?

This Princess Fangling is simply bad...

Sure enough, Empress Su looked over with sparkling eyes, and there was a questioning intent in her eyes.

Princess Huainan had no choice but to forcefully smile and said: "This is a big matter, how can I make the decision? Because the child is still young, he has never thought about getting married, so he has never entered the palace to ask for marriage... After going back, discuss with Yan Dao, Enter the palace and give a reply."

The son-in-law confers a concession, and the words say that his father is Feng Deyi, the elder of the Sui and Tang dynasties...

Face-to-face refusal is definitely not acceptable. In recent days, many censors at Yushitai have begun to recount the fact that Feng Deyi assisted Li Shimin on the surface, but supported Li Jiancheng secretly, thinking that Feng Deyi "holds both ends". Pursuing his official titles during his lifetime, and granting gifts after his death, if he offends the Tian family again, the situation will be very bad.

Princess Jinyang blinked, Princess Huainan and Feng Yandao's son... Feng Simin?

An image of a pink and jade-carved little Douding appeared in his mind. He had seen it once or twice during ceremonies in the palace. He spoke in a childish voice and was extremely childish.

Actually let me marry him?

Hmph, Aunt Fang Ling has no good intentions, and she will definitely let her brother-in-law show her how powerful she is, and she has to beat and beat the Feng family, don't be fooled.

Is this palace something your family can covet?
Ah.
