Although Li Shimin killed his brothers and seized his sister-in-law, which was very morally bad, Li Shimin was still very proud.
In his opinion, as a man, you should fight openly and openly instead of making small moves behind the scenes.
What's more, now Li Tai actually uses his beloved daughter to alienate and suppress Yang Fan, which is shameful to Li Shimin.
In Li Shimin's mind, if you don't like someone, you should work harder to defeat him and defeat him.
If you like something, you should fight for it, even the throne.
This is also the reason why Li Shimin can tolerate the competition between Li Tai and Li Chengqian.
However, the premise is that he must be upright. Now that Li Tai actually used his sister, this has reached the bottom line.
Li Shimin's face turned solemn and he asked in a deep voice: "When did Shu'er meet your fourth brother, King Wei? Has he entered the palace today? What else did he say to you?"
Although Gao Yang was very arrogant, she was also a thoughtful woman. When she heard Li Shimin's wrong tone, she knew that her father was really angry.
I felt a little uneasy for a while.
Glancing at Li Shimin carefully, Gao Yang did not dare to hide: "Fourth brother said that Uncle Zhongyi only knew how to beat people. If Gao Yang got married to him, it would insult the royal family's face, so he asked Gao Yang to come and ask his father to take back his life.
The fourth brother also said that Uncle Zhongyi was rude and did not understand etiquette, so he asked Gao Yang to suggest to his father that Uncle Zhongyi should be removed from his position as Minister of Rites..."
Seeing Li Shimin's face getting darker and darker, Princess Gao Yang almost swallowed her voice.
"Huh, what a good prince..."
Seeing that Princess Gao Yang didn't dare to say anything, Li Shimin snorted coldly: "Say, why don't you say it again? Don't you two have a deep love for each other as brothers and sisters? If you have anything else to say together..."
Princess Gaoyang, who had never seen Li Shimin like this before, curled up her lips and had tears in her eyes, looking very pitiful.
However, Li Shimin acted as if he had not seen it, and was not moved at all. Instead, he scolded with a cold face: "Gao Yang, you grew up with the queen, but have you ever seen your mother interfering in the affairs of the court? Don't you know,
Is there a rule that the female consorts in the harem are not allowed to interfere in politics?”
Gao Yang was frightened at this time, and the aggrieved Balabala shed tears.
She had never been scolded by Li Shimin like this since she was a child. She knew that Li Shimin was really angry today.
He could only sob quietly: "Father..."
Seeing his daughter crying in front of him, Li Shimin couldn't help but soften slightly.
Some of them gnashed their teeth and cursed Li Tai in secret, making a secret note in their hearts for their good son.
However, his tone seemed to soften a lot. Li Shimin said patiently to Gao Yang: "Shu'er, my father knows that you are a smart man. He always believes that if you are a man, you will never be inferior to any prince. But the rules
It’s just a rule. It has always been a royal taboo for the female family members in the harem to interfere in politics. Even if you are deeply loved by your father, you cannot cross the line..."
"Besides, as a sensible person, you should distinguish right from wrong and not follow others' opinions. Since my father has found a husband for you, of course he will be responsible for you. It is impossible for my father to push his daughter into a pit of fire..."
"Besides, the loyal uncle Yang Fan is actually willing to take action against the prince for the sake of a clean heir. Although it is a bit outrageous, it also reflects his deep affection. Isn't this a good destination for a woman?"
In Li Shimin's view, his daughter can just enjoy life, so why get involved in the struggle for power and gain.
He also sternly stated his stance that women should not be involved in politics. No matter how much he doted on Princess Gaoyang, he could not touch this bottom line.
It was extremely rare for Li Shimin to explain things with such sincerity, and he went to great lengths to win over Yang Fan.
But it's no wonder that although Li Shimin prides himself on being wise and powerful, he is actually a very insecure person.
Judging from the guards on duty in the Forbidden Palace, these captains were either relatives of the emperor or his sons-in-law.
It can be seen from this that in Li Shimin's eyes, only his relatives or in-laws can make him feel at ease.
Especially a talented and arrogant person like Yang Fan hopes to tie him to the royal chariot, which is why he made the remarks just now.
However, it also reflects Li Shimin’s love for Princess Gaoyang from the side.
If it were an ordinary princess, she would have already made a final statement, how could she explain so much.
Princess Gaoyang was full of grievances, but of course she also knew that marriage matters were definitely not hers to decide.
What's more, my father's golden words are true.
In this era, it was important to obey the father at home, the husband when married, and the son after the death of the husband. Princess Gaoyang certainly understood this.
As a woman, the three obediences and four virtues must be observed by both the royal family and the common people.
The reason why I just said this is actually because of the little tsundere in Princess Gaoyang's heart.
In the past, Princess Gaoyang felt dissatisfied because Yang Fan broke into the Duke's mansion because of Wu Mei Niang, but now she heard that Yang Fan beat the prince angrily for a servant, so Princess Gaoyang felt a little unbalanced.
From Gao Yang's point of view, as his head wife, Yang Fan has not stood up for her yet, but now he has fought several times for other women.
Naturally, this time he wanted to take the opportunity to punish Yang Fan through Li Shimin to balance the depression in his heart, but he just happened to be on the muzzle of the gun.
But Gao Yang didn't want to think about it. As a grown man, how could Li Shimin understand that women's brain circuits are so novel.
Although Li Shimin couldn't understand his daughter's heart, seeing Gao Yang's naive expression with puffed up cheeks, he couldn't help but laugh out loud and comfort him: "Don't you think Shu'er still can't trust your father? The husband your father chose for you is a genius with both civil and military skills."
.”
Although Princess Gaoyang is smart, she is still young. She is no match for Li Shimin. Her attention was quickly diverted. She did not mention the issue of breaking off the engagement. Instead, she asked curiously: "How do you say this?"
Li Shimin smiled mischievously, pretending to be mysterious, waved his hand and said to Wang Huangui: "You will tell us everything that happened after you met Uncle Zhongyi, so that Princess Gaoyang can judge whether the husband I chose for her is mediocre or mediocre.
Genius."
"Here!" Wang Huangui came out from the corner and said respectfully.
Although he didn't know what Li Shimin was selling, he aroused Princess Gaoyang's curiosity.
Gao Yang blinked his big eyes and immediately listened carefully.
Wang Huangui took his time and told what Yang Fan had done.
Prevent and control the smallpox plague, inscribe monuments to establish virtues to raise funds for disaster relief, raise the shortcomings of the imperial examination, reform movable type printing...
At first, Princess Gao Yang was a little scornful, but as Wang Huangui spoke out one by one, it was like a treasure trove.
Princess Gaoyang's eyes widened even more as she listened to the show, her eyes almost fell down, and her rosy little mouth opened even wider.
Is that guy so talented?
Doesn’t everyone in Chang’an call him Bang Chui?
Although Yang Fan seemed to have some poetic talent last time, he didn't know that he was so outstanding in other aspects.
The dilemmas and problems that even the wise and powerful father was helpless to solve were so easily solved by Yang Fan. Princess Gaoyang simply couldn't believe that such a strange man was the husband chosen by her father.
Seemingly outstanding, Princess Gaoyang fell into longing for the future.
After a while, he bit his cherry lips and asked:
"These are really what Uncle Zhongyi came up with, so why do you call him Bangchui?"
Wang Huangui bowed and replied: "Your Highness, Princess, these are absolutely true? However, I dare to ask Your Highness, where does the saying that Uncle Zhongyi is a stick come from?"
Where does it come from?
Princess Gaoyang was speechless: "Do you still need to ask? All the nobles in Chang'an City are called like this..."
The first of the five evils of Chang'an, fool, hammer...
If you don't tell me, you don't know. When you think about it, there are so many nicknames, and none of them sound good.
Wang Huangui smiled kindly: "As the saying goes: Seeing is believing, and hearing is false. His Highness rarely leaves the palace and does not go deep among the people, so he does not know the virtues of loyal and righteous uncles. If you only listen to the one-sided words of your nobles, it is not enough to be trusted."
Princess Gaoyang's bright eyes turned, showing a thoughtful expression.
Li Shimin put down the tea cup in his hand and said sternly: "Shu'er, some matters are deeply involved and belong to the court's secrets. Of course, we can't tell them openly. You only need to know what you know, and you can't talk nonsense to others."
"Father, please rest assured, I understand..." Gao Yang replied happily with bright light flashing in his eyes.
But Yang Fan, who was in a tender world in his mansion, didn't know that Li Shimin was heartbroken to give away his daughter!
