Chapter 128: Forced marriage

Li Changle is coming soon? She is wearing a concubine dress with goose yellow silk on her arms, which are as tender as spring flowers.

Li Changle bowed to the empress and sat on the lower head obediently: “Aniang, are you looking for me?”

The empress looked at Li Changle’s dress, her eyes showed emotion: “Are you seventeen years old?. In the blink of an eye, you have grown up too?”

Girls of sixteen or seventeen, no? They are youthful in everything they wear. Li Changle didn’t know? Why did the queen suddenly mention her age? She habitually acted like a baby as before: “Aniang, I am? Don’t grow up. I want to stay by your side forever.”

The queen smiled slightly?: “You can live in the palace as long as you want, but you are already 17 years old. If you don’t hire a man, others will say? A Le, what kind of man do you like? Lord?”

Li Changle didn’t feel ashamed when he heard this topic at first, only disgusted. Li Changle counted the family elders one by one in his mind, and found that they looked good, and there were a group of concubines around him at a young age, but they were clean and self-conscious, but they looked very ordinary.

Especially? With Gu Mingke and Pei Ji’an Zhuyu in front, Li Changle felt that everyone felt mediocre. But these two people are impossible? One is her brother-in-law, the other refused? Her.

Li Changle was rather disappointed. She is a public lord and deserves the best choice, but now she has seen the real Moshang like Yu, and then go to the other side. Li Changle was so bored that he couldn’t reproduce the enthusiasm that he used to hide behind the screen and watch Lang Jun.

Anyway, the best is not hers. Li Changle lowered his head, pretending to be shy, and said, “My daughter is young, so I don’t pay attention to Langjun. Aniang will arrange it.”

The queen nodded and said: “I want to come too, you don’t know the world, how would you consider getting married. I’m optimistic for you? A candidate, what do you think of your second cousin, Wang Wei?”

Li Changle was stunned. She paused, then raised her head and smiled?: “Aniang, you are joking with me again. How can I and Wang Wei…”

Li Changle looked at the empress’s expression, his smile froze little by little: “Aniang, are you serious?”

“Jun Wu, jokingly, I will not lie to you.” The queen used to claim to be “I” before, but without knowing it, she became “I”, “I know? After Pei Ji’an retires, you I’ve been unable to walk out. But it’s useless for you to worry about a man who has changed his mind. Wei Wanghe? You are also a childhood sweetheart. When you were young, you often played together and compared with Pei Ji’an. What’s the difference. You are cousins again, It’s better to be married to Pei’s family than to marry Pei’s family.”

Li Changle was cold on half of her body, so her mother asked her to marry Wu Yuanqing? How is Wu Yuanqing worthy of him! Li Changle gave birth to a nausea of being offended, but when he read it before the queen, Li Changle patiently said: “My father has not finished his filial piety. Now I am considering marriage improperly, let Wei Wang go find him? Someone else.”

Li Changle City Mansion is superficial, and her thoughts are not enough to look at in front of the empress. The queen saw that she was unwilling, and slowly said: “Your grandmother is seriously ill again? The royal doctor said that she probably won’t be able to survive this winter. Her only wish is to see you get married and set up a business before you are alive, Yuan Xiao, Chao Ge, The crown prince is married, and He Lanmin has also decided his husband’s house. Only you and Yuanqing are left. They have not settled yet.”

Li Changle was stunned, unable to speak for a long time. She said uneasily?: “But, Luoyang has so many daughters, why should we get together?”

The queen sighed inwardly, she said? After so long, Li Changle still didn’t hear it. The empress wants Li Changle to marry Wu Yuanqing. On the one hand, it is the wish of the Yang family, but more importantly, it is to consolidate her own power.

I don’t know if I don’t check, there are so many people who conspired with Li Yuanjia to rebel against the old man. The empress also realized that, regardless of how well she did her political achievements, how much benefit she had made for the courtiers, in the hearts of those people, she was an unruly female stream. All the courtiers in the court wanted to push her down and replace Li Huai as the throne, even if the queen was far more suitable to be the emperor than Li Huai.

Loyal to the emperor and patriot, the husband and the son, even if it is a poor family member pulled up by the queen’s hand, they agree with Confucianism in their hearts. Politics is the world of men. A woman will be scolded by the world even when she participates in politics. What’s more, the queen is bold enough to stand on the heads of all men and become the emperor.

The queen is now threatening the court and the opposition by prestige and sitting on the throne, but she knows that, those courtiers yelled long live, but in her heart she never really regarded her as a king. They are playing, waiting for the chance to overthrow the queen.

The most unsatisfied empress in this life is fate, whether it is a family official or the former royal family, if you dare to oppose her, then kill her. In the Manchu dynasty civil and military, the only one who truly shared the fate of the queen was the martial arts.

The queen thought about it, and felt that the best way to consolidate the situation is to let Li Changle marry his nephew, so that the Li and Wu families are integrated, and the child born has both the blood of the queen and the surname of the Wu family. The queen can? Really no worries.

But Li Changle is a little daughter habitual, and he can only see himself. The queen is too lazy to say any more?, she said lightly?: “Although you have to keep your father’s filial piety, but your grandmother’s wish can’t be ignored. Your grandmother can’t support it? How long, her only wish is to see you and Yuanqing get married. She has been loving you for so long, and you will not even be dissatisfied with her last wish.”

Li Changle was horrified, and suddenly stood up from his seat: “Aniang, this is different! If my grandmother has something to do? He wants me to do anything, but this can’t! Wang Wei has already married a wife, isn’t it? ? Am I still married as a successor?”

“My intention has been decided.” The empress didn’t want to be angry with Li Changle, coldly interrupted her, and said to the female officer, “Send the Lord Guangning back and let her calm down.”

The female officer kept sticking to the ground, not daring to look up. When they heard the queen’s words, they quietly glanced at the excited Duke Guangning, and silently stepped forward, trying to pull Li Changle away.

“Duke Guangning? Lord…”

“You let go!” Li Changle pulled away from the female officer’s arm, and stared at the empress desperately and fiercely, “Wu Yuanqing is your nephew, am I not your daughter? Am I? I am a father-in-law? Choosing ten thousand selections shouldn’t be like a gift and just give it to the Wu family. A-niang, isn’t it? In your heart, my lifelong happiness is not as good as the face of the Wu family?”

“You are presumptuous.” The queen shouted angrily. The palace maidens inside and outside were frightened? They jumped and knelt down in a hurry: “The queen calms down.”

Li Changle was also frightened, tears bursting into his eyes. Tears fluttered across her face, and Li Changle was crying, begging? “Aniang, I don’t want to marry Wu Yuanqing, I don’t like him at all. Please, take it back and die.”

Li Changle was so squeamish since he was a child that people in the Palace of the Stars dared not give the moon, but now he cries like this. The servants of the palace were unbearable, but the empress always looked at Li Changle calmly. After a while, she said, “Send Duke Guangning back to the Lord.”

“Aniang…”

“Yuan Qing is a good boy. When you get married, you will know how good he is.”

“No!” Li Changle suddenly collapsed and roared, “He has no talent, no morality, no learning skills, and he likes to go shopping in the flower street. Why should I marry this kind of person as a successor? I would rather die. Don’t be subjected to this kind of insult.”

The female officer was so frightened that she hurried to pull Li Changle. How could the queen be happy when he scolded the nephew of the martial arts family for not learning nothing in front of the queen? But the empress’s face was already gloomy, she took the photo again, took off the armrest, and said angrily: “Laughter! I pity you for being a young girl, doting on you everywhere, I didn’t expect you to be such an ignorant bastard. I was born and raised you, and thought for you in the future, but I still hate you. This is how you repay your parents for their kindness?”

Li Changle’s eyes widened, tears falling straight from his eyes: “If Father is here, he will never let me marry someone I don’t like.”

The servant heard this, and his whole body trembled with fright. He wanted to remind Duke Guangning not to violate the Queen’s taboo, but the Queen was on the head, and the servant was anxious but did not dare to say. The queen looked at Li Changle coldly, and said angrily? Extremely, she calmed down: “Okay, it turns out that you have anger in your heart, and you are also complaining about me for taking the throne of the Li family?”

Li Changle felt the danger, his lips moaned?: “I didn’t…”

“It’s really a good daughter.” The empress sneered. She suddenly looked sharp and said, “You forgot? On the day Pei Ji’an retired, first? How did the emperor talk to? Did you say that?”

Li Changle was hit hard, instantly? His face turned pale. Yeah, now Li Ze is gone? Li Changle missed his loving father day and night, but when Tubo first made a relationship with him, Li Ze also forcibly separated her and Pei Ji’an. He was so determined that he wanted to marry her. A courtier who is good for the East Palace.

What is the difference between what Li Ze did at the beginning and the queen now? It’s all about imperial power?.

The empress endured her anger and said coldly: “This is your duty as a principal. Pull her down and take care of her. She is not allowed to leave the palace before getting married.”

The female officials knew that the queen was really angry? They bowed their heads and said yes, and hurriedly took Li Changle away. Li Changle was spoiled and spoiled, how could he be more powerful than everyone else, and he was forcibly pulled out soon. She was crying and struggling. Before going out, she exhausted all her strength to look back and saw her mother sitting high on the Golden Luang Temple. Her eyes were harsh and indifferent, without any warmth.

Li Changle suddenly realized that the empress was no longer her mother-in-law, but the emperor.

I don’t know? Which sentence of Li Changle stimulated the empress, and the empress soon arranged for Wu Yuanqing to marry? Li Changle. As for the period of filial piety on Li Changle’s body… Original? Lord, why should we keep the period of filial piety of the former emperor?

The empress even had the reasons for it. Madam Yang was lingering on the bed, and her fate was not long. The wedding of Li Changle and Wu Yuanqing happened to be very happy for Madam Yang. Maybe Mrs. Yang is in a happy mood, and the illness will heal all at once?

Before Gao Di was alive, the empress and? Gao Di did have true love in adversity. But this little friendship is neither pure nor strong. With the Queen’s accession to the throne, once? That little warmth has been swallowed by suspicion. How can the love of husband and wife that is full of exploitation and reconciliation compare to the love of mother and daughter of Mrs. Yang and the Queen?

The imperial decree of King Wei and Duke Guangning was soon announced to the world. When Li Chaoge heard it, he was taken aback and continued to explain the task. She is currently investigating re-mingling birds on the face, and secretly has sent someone to investigate Wu Yuanqing. She suspected that Wu Yuanqing was calling the thief to catch the thief. He faked a heavy-minded bird, and later, fearing that the matter would be exposed, he quietly killed the heavy-minded bird and planted it backhand to Li Huai. As long as the source of the Chongming Bird is found out, all of Wu Yuanqing’s sprite tricks will appear.

As for the marriage of Wu Yuanqing and Li Changle, Li Chaoge can’t control it, nor can it.

The empress intends to congratulate Mrs. Yang, and the wedding process is arranged very quickly. The Wu Family got his wish and was extremely proud, but other people’s reactions were dull. Even if the queen could use the imperial power to force her, it would not be a glorious thing to marry in the filial piety period, so the queen did not hold a big wedding. Li Changle’s wedding car drove into the Palace of the Wei in a low-key manner, which was quite different from the grand occasion when Li Chaoge got married that year.

In the night of the bridal chamber, after the guests dispersed, Wu Yuanqing returned to Qinglu. Although Li Changle painted festive bridal makeup, his expression on his face was extremely cold. She pointed to a whole row of beautiful ladies behind her, and said, “I heard that Wei Wang is so beautiful, I picked it out specially? Twelve Mei Ji gave it to Wei Wang. Tonight, I am sick, so let them serve Wei Wang.”

Li Changle said he was going to go out, but was held by Wu Yuanqing: “Cousin Guangning, I took your mind? But tonight is your wedding night in the bridal chamber. How can I leave you in the cold and spoil him? Others?”

“You let go!”

When the maid beside Li Changle saw this, she wanted to come forward to save Li Changle, but Wu Yuanqing stared coldly? “Even though Guangning is the lord, but also the concubine Wei. Are you still dissatisfied with the marriage?”

Where dare the maids. The row of court ladies in the back looked around, bowed their heads, and walked out quickly.

Li Changle watched everyone leave Qinglu, only her and Wu Yuanqing were left in the red space. Li Changle looked at the dazzling red silk on his head, and a line of tears slowly seeped from the corner of his eyes.

Maybe it’s your wish? Not long after Wu Yuanqing and Li Changle got married, Mrs. Yang’s illness took a turn for the worse, and she couldn’t survive this winter. The maids woke up this morning, rubbing their hands and breathing. The weather outside is extremely cold? Frost is condensing on the ground, and it will slip if you are not careful. The sun shone on the ice crystals, and even the light was pale.

The maid hurried to serve Mrs. Yang while warming her hands. But today, Mrs. Yang woke up early? Her complexion was ruddy and her spirits were rare. The maids thought of Huiguangfanzhao by chance, and they kept silent and hurried to report to their master.

When Wu Meng heard Mrs. Yang’s return, he dared not delay, and hurriedly sent someone to the palace to deliver the letter to the palace of Wei.

When the queen came to the throne, she named her own father the emperor and her mother Yang as the queen mother. But the DPRK did not agree. The queen wanted to move the ancestral tablet of the Wu family to the Taimiao repeatedly. The courtiers were firmly opposed to it. Even the Queen Mother Yang did not approve it.

Although Mrs. Yang was married for the second time, she was born in a family and she was very righteous. The queen’s habit of reading was learned from Mrs. Yang. When the empress was planning to establish her in 2007, Mrs. Yang did her best outside the palace. Although the queen is now on the throne, but the foundation is not stable, Madam Yang has not been fascinated by outsiders’ flattery. She has rejected the title of “Queen Dowager” and refused to live with the Queen in the palace. She still lives with her stepson and daughter-in-law. When she is usually sober, she does not let people call her the queen mother, but is called Mrs. Rongguo Yang.

The Yang family and Wu Meng family are both here, and the Wu family should not be separated, but Wu Yuanxiao and Wu Yuanqing were appointed kings separately, and Wu Yuanqing also married Li Changle, so the two brothers lived in two residences. Usually Wu Meng stayed in the eldest son’s residence to take care of Mrs. Yang, and occasionally went to Wu Yuanqing’s residence to see the younger son and his wife.

The Wei Palace was not far from the Liang Palace. After a while, Wu Yuanqing and Li Changle came, and then the Empress, Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke also came.

When Mrs. Yang’s message was delivered to the palace, the queen was in the court, and the queen immediately suspended the court meeting and asked to go out of the palace. As the emperor, the empress shouldn’t have left the forbidden court easily, but she insisted on coming to see her mother for the last time, so Li Chaoge had to personally **** her.

Before the sick bed, Mrs. Yang saw many children gathered together. Her three daughters, her stepsons and daughters-in-law, and her grandchildren, grandchildren, and granddaughters all stood by her. No more Mrs. Yang? Regret, she tremblingly raised her hand, Wu Yuanxiao immediately held it, and asked, “Grandma, what do you want to say?”

Mrs. Yang said with great effort?: “You are all here, I’m relieved? I will leave in the future? You have to help each other. One is easy to break, and the others are hard to destroy. Only if you work together can you promote the martial arts. .”

The Wu Meng clan and Wu Yuanxiao’s husband and wife should be, Li Chaoge lowered his head and hid in the crowd, silent and silent. She quietly scanned the people around her, the empress looked sad, Madam Weiguo wiped her tears with her kerchief, and Wu Yuanxiao and his wife, as the eldest sons and grandchildren, knelt on the side of Madam Yang’s collapse, with a look of family revitalization. Wu Yuanqing knelt half a step back, followed by Li Changle by his side. There was a long gap between the two. It would be difficult to recognize the two of them as newlyweds if it wasn’t for the clothes on their bodies.

Li Chaoge swept his eyes silently, and suddenly realized that she seemed to be an outsider in this circle. The Empress, Mrs. Weiguo, and Mrs. Korea are the daughters of the Wu family. Brother Wu Yuanxiao is the incense stick of the Wu family, and Li Changle is newly promoted as the daughter-in-law of the Wu family.

After Mrs. Yang confessed her children and grandchildren, she died suddenly, and her filial grandsons and daughters-in-law surrounded her and immediately began to cry.

The empress sent away? Mother was shocked. The female officer hurriedly served the queen back to the palace to rest. Li Chaoge followed, and finally took a look and said: “Liang Wang and Wei Wang are mourning, but the queen’s safety must not be lost. I will **** the queen back to the palace first, and then come to mourn my grandmother. ”

No one in the Wu family dared to stop, if the queen had an accident outside the palace, no one would be able to bear it. Li Chaoge left, and Gu Mingke went with him naturally. Li Changle sent the queen to the door and watched the queen board the imperial court. Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke followed and left together.

Only she was left in the martial arts family. As a wife of the martial family, it is her duty to serve the deceased grandmother, and the palace is no longer her home.

Li Changle stood at the door for a long time. Wu Yuanxiao’s wife Xu came back from her filial dress. Li Changle was still standing in the middle door, looking at the direction of the palace team leaving without moving. The Xu family understood this feeling very well. She walked up to Li Changle and said softly: “Duke Guangning? Lord, are you still looking at the queen? This is the case for people who just married. When I first got married, I thought of my husband’s family. It’s a stranger, and it’s just a guest to return to her family’s home, so she couldn’t help crying secretly under the quilt. You and Prince Wei were married, and the mother-in-law was kind to you, and no one at home dared to bully you. Some days, you will get used to it?.”

“Habit?” Li Changle twitched his lips ironically. “The same is the father-in-law. When she gets married, she celebrates the whole country. If she is not married, she has her own father-in-law’s mansion. The husband arranged the concubine room, and she was the only one who said the whole house? Forget it. Why doesn’t she need to get used to it?”

This… Xu is silent?. What should she say about this, Li Chaoge’s marriage is called recruiting a concubine. Gu Shaoqing originally liked her. The man Shang Gong? The master can no longer accept concubines, and life after marriage is not left to her. But Li Changle married Wang Wei. Although Li Changle is also the lord, the status of the wife of the Wu family is higher than that of the lord. After marriage, she lives in the Wei Palace, so naturally she can’t do whatever she wants like Li Chaoge.

Obviously they are the same sisters, but their married lives are completely different. No wonder Li Changle is not reconciled.

Xu Shi thought of the scene that he saw in front of Madam Yang’s bed, and sighed secretly in his heart. It’s no wonder that Li Chang is willing to be hard to settle. The Lord Sheng Yuan and Gu Shaoqing are both young and beautiful, sitting side by side as beautiful as a picture scroll. However, Gu Shaoqing was originally from a pure and noble family, cool and beautiful, and he was also clean and self-clean. Although he was robbed by Li Chaoge, he did not see any reluctance when getting along. However, Li Changle was forcibly pointed to Wu Yuanqing. Wu Yuanqing was first? He was nine years older than Li Changle. He had married a Zhengtou lady before, and had several concubine rooms in the backyard. There were many confidantes outside. Personal morality is bad? A lot, if you add appearance, posture, talents, learning, talking, etc., it will be even worse.

Wu Yuanqing and Gu Mingke stood together, like a large-scale humiliation scene. Who saw it? They all had a mentality imbalance. Thinking of this, the Xu family was quite envious of Li Chaoge. First, the former female relatives all said in private that the Lord Sheng Yuan’s master did not guard his wife’s morals and did such a thing as robbing a man, which was a shame to a woman. But now the Xu family compares the fate of the sisters with Hua, and feels from the bottom of his heart that Li Chaoge is too smart to exchange his intangible reputation for a real son-in-law.

But Xu couldn’t say these words. She sighed and shook Li Changle’s hand firmly, saying: “Everyone has his own life, and worrying about other people’s things will only make oneself unhappy. Lord Guangning, Lord, Your next days are still long, just go by slowly?.”

“Everyone has a fate…” Li Changle murmured, and for some reason she burst into tears, “Could it be that this is my fate?”

Xu looked at Li Changle, who was delicate and weak in front of him, as if he had seen his own sister. She felt pity in her heart and wiped away the tears for Li Changle. She did not care to hide for the venerable. She persuaded her: “Duke Guangning, Lord, you are already married to King Wei? Do not fight against the Queen and King Wei, and follow. Wu Family, you may not be worse than others in the future. Are you and Wang Wei lukewarm now? How can you be happy when you see the Queen? You are more for yourself? Think about it.”

Li Changle calmed down. When Xu saw that Li Changle listened to it, he was relieved? He sighed and said: “The place in the palace is the most cannibalistic. Slowly, it will turn people into monsters.”

·

After investigating the case of Changsunyu’s rebellion for four months, Gu Mingke looked through all the letters, books, and materials inside and outside Changsun’s house, visited many witnesses, and finally found no trace of Changsunyu’s collusion with King Han. Gu Mingke compiled the results of the investigation into a booklet and handed it to the queen, but there was no response for a long time.

The queen seems to be very busy, and has not seen this folder yet, but Li Chaoge understands that the queen is not satisfied with the result. Later, the empress transferred Gu Mingke away with excuses, and the elder Sun Yu’s rebellion was taken over by others.

Lai Junchen volunteered, and as Lai Junchen intervened in the case of the grandson’s house, a rebellion was like pouring fuel on a burning house, and suddenly he got out of control. Many princes and princes have been implicated. Anyone who has contact with Li Yuanjia, Li Chong and others will be labelled as a rebellious party.

The logic of Lai Junchen is very simple. They received the letter from King Han, but didn’t immediately report it to the Queen. Isn’t this a secret support for King Han to rebel? Such rebels still keep what they do.

The blood flowed into the Li family. The empress vigorously liquidated the power of the clan and did not spare the courtiers in Luoyang. Those who are wise to stay, and those who are not wise to kill, the ministers who oppose her, the more talented they are, the more dangerous they are. They should cut the grass and root as soon as possible. Are they gone? Some people replace them.

The fire grew bigger and bigger, and finally, it was implicated in Pei’s house.

Pei Xiang? is impeached and his eldest Sun Yu is related by marriage, and is suspected of being involved in treason. Lai Junchen proposed to take Pei’s family to prison and interrogate them together.
