That night, Li Shimin and Li Chengqian, father and son, talked secretly all night in the Tai Chi Hall. As for what they talked about, even Li Anyang, who had been following Li Shimin, didn't know how to guess.
When she contacted Li Chengqian again, Fang Yiai found that Li Chengqian seemed to be different from before. As for what the difference was, Fang Yiai herself couldn't tell...
But there was one thing that Fang Yiai felt clearly. During this period, Li Chengqian always liked to drag him to talk about geography and anecdotes from various places. He also liked to leave the palace from time to time, dragging him to wine shops frequented by businessmen.
.
Sometimes, Li Chengqian likes to bring his eldest son Li Hong with him when he goes out. Intentionally or unintentionally, he always likes to get Li Hong, Qin Chengdu's family, Xue Lu's family, and the eldest grandson Huan's children together.
Such an obvious move made Fang Yiai and the others filled with doubts.
Several people were muttering to themselves, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not yet ascended the throne, and the Prince of Linjiang County has not yet been promoted to the Crown Prince. Could it be that Li Chengqian starts now to select future confidants for his son from the heirs of various ministers?
?
This, this, this seems to be a little too early, right?
Judging from Li Chengqian's physique, it shouldn't be a problem to live for another twenty or thirty years. Is it really too early to plan for his son now?
In response to the doubtful looks in Fang Yiai's and others' eyes, Li Chengqian just smiled softly and said, "Hong'er is the age where he likes liveliness and fun. He had many playmates in his early years. He can't be restrained so early.
Take Hong'er."
"Let him play with other children of the same age so that he can be more cheerful, lest he has no playmates in the palace and his temper becomes withdrawn," Li Chengqian said.
"We are all relatives. We should allow the children to interact with each other more often, so as not to see each other for a long time. If they are separated again, it will hurt the harmony of the relatives." Li Chengqian said very kindly.
"Yes, yes, the prince has considered it very much." Fang Yiai and others nodded, stiffly twitching the corners of their mouths, and agreed.
Nima. Return relatives and be kind.
Who dares to talk to the royal family about the relationship between relatives?
Besides, because Lu Yi was the adopted son of the Fang family, and because of Fang Yiai's relationship with Qing Niang, he was barely able to be included in the list of royal relatives.
But what about Xue Rengui? He is not even close to being blood relatives with the royal family.
Fang Yiai and the others wanted to roll their eyes at Li Chengqian. Of course, those who dared to do so were Fang Yiai, who had grown up with Li Chengqian since childhood, and Li Chengqian's true blood cousin, who never paid attention to formal etiquette with him.
Changsun Huan.
Li Chengqian turned a blind eye to this. As far as he was concerned, the purpose of letting the children enhance their relationship was achieved, and it didn't matter whether the children's father was happy or not.
Even the Crown Princess Wu Meiniang seemed to have received some kind of instructions, and her relationship with Gao Yang and the others was steadily heating up.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Dong Palace is trying to win over Fang Yiai, Du He, Changsun Huan, Cheng Huailiang, Xue Rengui, and even Lu Yi. Didn’t you see? Even after the prince succeeds to the throne in the future, he will be the most reliable successor to the crown prince.
The Prince of Linjiang County also has a better and better relationship with the children of these families.
"What's going on with the emperor's brother and his wife?" Shu'er asked Fang Yiai in confusion, "In the past, when the emperor had free time, he at most liked to stroll around the capital, or else he would read, play chess and play the piano with the emperor's wife. Why are these two
Yue Lai, I always like to take you guys out of the city to hunt, but you still have to ask every family to bring their children?"
"I don't know. I guess there is an instruction from the emperor here. Otherwise, the prince would not have done it so obviously." Fang Yiai was also confused. After thinking about it seriously, she replied, "Look, the prince will succeed to the throne in the future.
After that, King Linjiang will no longer be able to take the throne as heir apparent."
"What? Brother Huang is really starting to train helpers for Hong'er now?" Shu'er said in surprise, "Brother Huang is still young, how could it be? Something must have happened, right?"
"The prince is in good health. Even if he works as hard as the emperor, he will still have no problem living for twenty or thirty years. As for whether something happened? I can't find out any information." Fang Yiai said a little depressed.
"The emperor's sister-in-law didn't miss a single word." Shu'er said equally weakly.
"Never mind it, let's just do our part." Fang Yiai put aside the problem, breathed a sigh of relief and said.
"That's the only way it can be." Shu'er nodded and said in agreement.
In early September, Niu Saihua went into labor and gave birth to a fat, tormenting boy.
Niu Saihua was a little disappointed. She and Lu Yi had been looking forward to giving birth to a beautiful daughter.
Besides, currently the only flower in the Fang family is Die Wu who followed Xiao Tingting to the Wei family, and the rest are all boys, which highlights the value of a daughter.
Shu'er hugged Erlang of the Lu family with envy and rareness, and looked at Fang Yiai beside her with a somewhat resentful look. Obviously, seeing this soft and soft little baby, Shu'er once again longed for a child of her own.
hug.
At the end of the year, Li Shimin chose Fang Xuanling as the examiner for the scientific examination in the 18th year of Zhenguan. In order to avoid suspicion, Fang Yize had no choice but to take the next subject and take the exam again.
Fang Yi doesn't care. Anyway, he learns the knowledge in his own mind. It doesn't matter when he takes the exam. If he takes the exam three years later, he might get a better ranking. Anyway, he doesn't require himself to be like his second brother.
Same, it has to be among the top three.
Regarding the marriage between Fang Yize and Yu Ruoyun, the Yu family did not insist on asking Fang Yize to be named on the gold list before discussing the marriage. They still said that they would follow the previous agreement and let Yu Ruoyun get married.
The two got married.
The Fang family was relieved a lot because of this. At least, this way, Fang Yi would not have so much psychological pressure.
After the Chinese New Year and before the imperial examination, Princess Chengyang gave birth to a daughter.
When Fang Yiai and Shuer went to congratulate the Du family, Shuer, who was holding the soft and fragrant little baby, looked at Fang Yiai with increasingly resentful eyes, which made Fang Yiai unable to resist.
After the first lunar month, Lu Yi sent someone to pick up Niu Saihua and Erlang's mother and son to reunite with them in the southwest. Bao'er and the Lu family were handed over to the Fang family, who escorted Niu Saihua, mother and son to reunite with Lu Yi.
Perhaps on the day when the child was one month old, Du Ruhui was so happy that he drank two more glasses of wine and suddenly became cold and fell ill.
As he got older, his body was severely depleted earlier. After the illness in the fourth year of Zhenguan, although Du Ruhui took good care of himself, Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling were both workaholics, and his body's recuperation could not keep up with his own consumption.
, persuaded him to rest, and the answer was similar to Fang Xuanling's, all about what state affairs were the most important.
With such consumption and overdraft, it was completely expected that he would fall ill. However, he did not expect that Du Ruhui's illness would be so severe this time.
After being in bed for more than half a month, Du Ruhui passed away without even seeing his eldest son Du Gou, who had been promoted to the prefect of Dingzhou, let alone Du Gou's wife and children. He just passed away with regret.
Left HR.
Du Ruhui's death had a great impact on both Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling.
Li Shimin was in a depressed mood for more than a month, while Fang Xuanling managed to hold on until the end of the imperial examination, and then fell ill on the bed.
When Fang Xuanling fell ill, Shu'er was more nervous than any other member of the Fang family. She thought about everything that could be helpful to Fang Xuanling's recovery. She never stopped thinking about it.
Say hello three times in the morning, noon and evening.
Shu'er's actions made Fang Xuanling and his wife feel very close to each other. They felt that it was a good thing for their son to marry this princess.
Both Fang Xuanling and Mrs. Fang were deeply moved. Others felt that Shuer, a royal princess, had no airs and was a filial person.
Regarding Shu'er's thoughts, Fang Yiai can roughly guess that she is probably afraid that her father will die at this time, and the two of them will continue to observe mourning for three years. Moreover, the biological father does not have to support his parents. During these three years of mourning,
Naturally, it must be kept full.
In that case, Shu'er's expectation of having a child may have to be pushed back another three years. Such a result would definitely be extremely uncomfortable for Shu'er.
If it goes three years and three years, she will have a few three years that she can use up.
Of course, Fang Yi only needs to understand this matter in her heart. Although she is a little uncomfortable, Shu'er's thoughts are understandable. What's more, Shu'er really lowered the airs of the royal princess in front of Fang Xuanling, and her behavior
She is completely a qualified filial daughter-in-law in the eyes of the ancients.
Although Fang Xuanling's situation seems worrying, fortunately over the years, no matter how early or late it is, the Fang family has always strictly implemented Fang Yiai's instructions and meticulously paid attention to Fang Xuanling's dietary supplements.
His health was much better than that of Du Ruhui's, but he managed to survive his illness this time without any danger.
Fang Xuanling recovered. It was not just the Fang family who breathed a sigh of relief. Even Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief. He did not want to lose two of his right-hand men and good friends who had been with him for a long time in a short period of time.
.
Watching Fang Xuanling recover from illness, Li Shimin's sadness over Du Ruhui's death gradually improved a lot.
As history goes, Du Ruhui's title was inherited by Du Gou.
As for the Ding You excerpts of brothers Du Gou and Du He, Li Shimin looked at them in embarrassment for a long time.
In the fifteenth year, we ordered the rectification of household registration. This year, we planned to send people to inspect the various provinces to check and accept the results of the household registration rectification that year. Secondly, we also planned to ask the inspectors of each province to pay attention to the actions of the vassal kings in various places, so as not to
Another character appears who is the King of Han Dynasty, Li Yuanchang. Cholera brought stability to the Tang Dynasty.
And Du He was the one he planned to send to Henan Province, where the wealthy vassals were concentrated. Now that Du Ruhui died, Du He and Dingyou's words undoubtedly disrupted his plan and forced him to rearrange it.
Even though he was reluctant to give up, Li Shimin had to approve the proposal of two brothers, Du Gou and Du He, Ding You.
