    Chapter 112: Webster is not dead, Lu is in trouble. In the end, it was decided to let Zhu Dian go to Luoyang.  First, Zhu Dian is a Han Chinese and Mo Heqian is a Hu.  Secondly, although Zhu Dian was a staff member of the Wang family in Taiyuan, he later gave it to Wang Hua, who was also Wang Hua's staff member.  Don't ask him to assist Wang Hua. In this era, it is natural and praiseworthy for a servant to follow his master, even if it means treason.  But if you denounce your master, it will be a great achievement, and it will also make people look down upon.  Mo Heqian has a different nature. He is not Wang Hua's domestic servant, but a minister of the Tang Dynasty.  But this time there are many things to pay attention to when discussing marriage, and it is also very strange.  Usually people call it marriage proposal or marriage proposal.  But the children of the imperial family are different. It is called down-marriage. It is not the man who likes the woman, but the heroine who likes the man.  Various procedures were reversed.  The first of the six rites of marriage in ancient times is acceptance. The man¡¯s family gives the woman¡¯s family a gift (a goose, but for ordinary people it is a goose or a pheasant).  Then ask for the name, ask the woman's surname clearly, and go home for divination.  Najib, report the good news to the woman when the time comes.  To accept the levy, give valuable betrothal gifts. Of course, Najib also needs to give gifts when asked about his name.  Then comes the date of invitation, choosing a good and auspicious day, and finally the personal welcome.  The marriage between Wang Hua and Wang Han was completed through this set of procedures.  ¡°But when it comes to princesses, it¡¯s not the man looking for the woman, but the woman looking for the man.  In fact, the three people the princess married were mainly the sons of meritorious officials, followed by handsome men. Wang Lin's ancestors and grandsons all married princesses. The eldest son Quan won the princess' favor because of his "beautiful manners and good fortune."  The third is talented people, such as Cai Ning, who writes well and has good calligraphy, and married a princess.  In the Ming Dynasty, in order to weaken the meritorious status, they also liked to marry princesses to commoners.  The last one is what Wang Hua hates the most, marriage.  Basically, it is all for political purposes. If the emperor likes his daughter, he is lucky enough to be able to ask for their opinions.  That is to say, except for the vassal states, ministers do not ask for marriage, and even if they do, they can only express it secretly.  As for Najib, the candidate¡¯s birthday and horoscope had already been checked, and the prospective prince-in-law was directly summoned into the palace and given belts, boots, dust sceptres, saddles, rich silks, silverware, clothing materials, and betrothal gifts (not to the man, but to the woman).  hire).  Of course, if your family is poor, marrying a princess is the quickest way to get rich.  Because the big head is still behind, Nazheng, countless jewelry, gold and silverware, began to prepare after Najib.  It wasn't until the wedding day that the man became a little more aggressive and prepared wild geese and some coins and silk. Compared with the royal betrothal gift, these betrothal gifts were almost insignificant.  Even the place of marriage was not at the groom's side, but at the Prince Consort's Mansion prepared by the royal family.  Then the nine-cup banquet rewarded by the emperor was held, and the queen and prince returned to the palace.  The princess just started to eat with the bride.  Then meet the parents-in-law.  Generally, there are a total of twelve tedious etiquettes before entering the bridal chamber.  Three days later, they went to the palace together to express their gratitude, and the emperor began to reward them with gifts again.  The ministers expressed their congratulations, and even the ministers and relatives of the consort's family received various rewards.  The reward is still a small head. In addition to the Prince Consort's Palace, the princess also has her own mansion, fief, property, and even industry. In addition, she also has corresponding official offices.  But in the Tang Dynasty, no good family disciples were willing to marry princesses. First of all, the princesses of the Tang Dynasty had a bad style.  In the second Tang Dynasty, marriage was free, and the "divorce rate" among princesses in particular was very high. Before Suzong, more than twenty princesses were divorced, and several others were married three or four times.  Therefore, driven by these princesses, the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was unprecedentedly open. It was normal for men to keep concubines and concubines, and it was common for women to elope and have adultery.  The most famous one is that when Yang Guozhong was on a mission to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, his wife stole a man from him and didn't pay attention, so she became pregnant.  what should I do?  After Yang Guozhong came back, she said that the concubine missed her so much that she daydreamed about her friendship with Guozhong, and she became pregnant.  Red on the outside and crispy on the outside.  Yang Guozhong loved his wife so much that he had no choice but to cover it up for her, saying: "This is due to the emotional longing between husband and wife." However, once divorced, these properties would be gone.  Moreover, only princesses and consorts are allowed to have sex with each other. If the princess doesn't want to, or she likes other men, then the consort shouldn't touch her either.  There are also filial piety for the princess after her death, and other unprincessful treatment.  In the Tang Dynasty, only Guo Ziyi's son beat up the princess, which shocked the past and present.  Therefore, a promising person must not marry a princess, as this will mean finding something else to do.  Therefore, Zhu Dian went to Luoyang not to seek marriage, but to discuss marriage.  In fact, Zhu Tong has read a lot of books, but he doesn¡¯t know what etiquette to follow when ¡°discussing a marriage¡±.  After thinking about it, I prepared a large number of gifts, ninety-nine inkstones, some of which were top-quality Tao inkstones and Helan treasures that Wang Hua took out from his private collection.  And some perfumes.  This is also what Twenty-three States can best offer now.  ?Then there is the northwest specialty, º´œµ.  Then some corals and gems from Oceania were brought in from other places.  and three thousand war horses, but these horses were all injured, and some were too old to go on the battlefield.  So Wang Hua gave them to the court to be used as plow horses.  Many of them are mares and may even give birth to ponies in the future.  In addition?Forced a group from Guo Yuanzhen, and gathered a group myself, a total of two thousand tall Tuyuhun horses, including several dragon species and Qinghai Cong.  It is not clear whether these gifts are betrothal gifts or congratulatory gifts for Li Xian.  However, in order to distinguish them, a wild goose was prepared on top of these gifts.  As for whether it is in compliance with the rules or not, let the officials of the Ministry of Rites have a headache.  This is just a show, and it would be even more of a headache if it were real.  It is not difficult to build a prince-consort mansion, but will Wang Hua go to Luoyang to get married?  Since there are so few people, I guess once you go ahead, you will be like a meat bun beating a dog, and you will never come back.  If too many people go, the court will disagree.  Or send Li Guoer to Lingzhou to get married?  Is it possible?  But as a betrothal gift, the betrothal gifts in this industry are extremely spectacular.  It is dozens of times richer than marrying Princess Jincheng in Tubo.  Two thousand horses alone were worth more than two to three hundred thousand yuan. However, Wang Hua did not consider whether these excellent horses would be used by Li Xian in military affairs or in useless ceremonial guards.  Not to mention the cartloads of rare gems, corals, and strange inkstones behind.  These gifts had been prepared for a long time, but they were not yet fully prepared, so Zhu Dian waited for a few more days.  But I didn¡¯t expect that at this time, Shangguan Xiaowan sent another letter, and wrote a poem in it: ¡°Yesterday, the east wind was suspicious, and the beads were wet on the colorful brocade paper.  "You are a green mulberry tree, and I am a dodder."  Therefore, Wang Hua said one more thing before Zhu Tong left: "Mr. Zhu, there is one person you should pay attention to when you come to the capital. Shangguan Xiaowan has the idea of ???? defecting to us." Wang Hua used the word "yinran". There is no permanent alliance in politics. Shangguan  Wang Hua doesn't know how sincere Xiaowan is.  If things go in the direction Wang Hua expected and Li Xian's big tree falls, Shangguan Xiaowan will never have it, and Li Dan will value her ignorant thoughts again.  Although she made some efforts to show kindness to Princess Taiping.  At that time, it was true love to surrender.  ¡°If Li Xian hadn¡¯t died, she wouldn¡¯t have been able to be Wang Hua¡¯s dodder.  Zhu Ding nodded. Wang Hua had not told him, but Zhu Ding vaguely felt that there was an inexplicable relationship between Wang Hua and Shangguan Xiaowan.  By the end of September, this spectacular procession began to set off.  Then they arrived at Chang'an and met again. Five thousand horses plus nearly a hundred carts of goods covered the sky and the sun.  It caused a sensation even before arriving in Luoyang.  Webster did not say that Zhu Tong and his entourage locked the geese in the carriage.  When the team arrived in Luoyang, Li Xian didn't know what happened. It wasn't a New Year celebration, let alone a victory. Why did Wang Hua give him so many things?  But a good thing, officials were immediately sent to greet him.  Zhu Dian began to meet outside the city gate, and carriages opened one after another. Inside were full of precious coral gems, precious 묜µ, as well as inkstones and perfumes.  Every time one is opened, the onlookers burst into exclamation.  When they got to the last one, Zhu Tong ordered his people to lift the wild goose out. It was a very big gray-headed goose, even bigger than a domestic goose. It was locked in an iron cage tied with colorful silk ribbons, and he looked at the dark people on both sides.  , making a scared cry.  The faces of the officials who greeted him became strange. They finally understood Wang Hua's purpose and came to ask for a gift from the emperor.  Is there such a ritual?  They looked at each other and didn't dare to speak.  Zhu Tong did not explain, and asked: "Emissaries, after the handover is completed, can you check the number?" "Yes, yes," several officials nodded repeatedly.  Yes, yes, it would be better if there was no big gray goose.  Zhu Tong said: "Yes, I will leave it to you." After saying that, he led dozens of subordinates into Luoyang.  But there were hundreds of servants accompanying him. Zhu Tong left them all outside the city, otherwise Li Xian would not be relieved if they entered the city together.  We arrived at Wang Hua¡¯s house. This house was renovated and returned to the Wang family after the imperial court named Wang Hua the Grand Manager of Lingzhou.  As a result, no one accepted it, so the court had to send people to guard it and send people to clean it frequently, which was miserable.  Through this house, everyone can see the epitome of the absurd farce that has occurred over the past year.  As soon as they entered the house, Zhang Jiuling and Dafeng, as well as Yan Tingzhi and Sanfeng, came together.  Although they have different paths and are incompatible with each other, they are relatives after all. As the most important person around Wang Hua, Zhu Dian came together to inquire about Wang Hua's current situation.  Because of this matter, Dafeng and Sanfeng also quarreled several times at home, but they were both typical Chinese women who support their husbands and raise their children. They couldn't argue, so they had to accompany their husbands to worry.  After exchanging pleasantries, Zhu Tong said: "Two ladies, don't worry about me. My uncles and parents??Everything is well in Oceania, and Erlang is also well in Lingzhou.  " Having said this, Zhu Tong looked at Zhang Jiuling and Yan Tingzhi, recounted some of the arguments that Wang Hua and Zhang had said, and then talked about the big bosses giving gifts to Wang Hua one after another. This was to provoke them. If  They were willing to go to Lingzhou or Oceania. Wang Hua had a lot less to worry about, and both Lingzhou and Oceania lacked real talents. But it was Zhu Dian who had been talking about it for so long, and the two of them said helplessly.  : ¡°We eat.  " I couldn't decide, so I had to let them go. Fortunately, Wang Hua is no longer the same Wang Hua as before, and no one dares to challenge them anymore. After dinner, the two couples were sent out, and another guest came.  Shangguan Xiaowan. Zhu Tong led Shangguan Xiaowan to Wang Hua's original study room, but it was now empty, and there was not a book in sight. He winked at his subordinates, and several of his subordinates immediately guarded the surroundings.  Any servants from the palace approached. These servants were all transferred from the palace. Zhuge Liang couldn't tell who his subordinates were. Looking at the beautiful and talented woman in front of him, Zhu Tong asked.  She sat down. Because of her love for beauty, even though the weather was cold now, she was still wearing a colorful soft silk skirt. She was still elegant and elegant, just like the poems she wrote when she sat down.  Finally, he said: "The queen asked me to come.  " When discussing a marriage, someone must be sent to discuss it. But it is not suitable for people from the Wei family to come forward, and other people are worried. Therefore, it was handed over to Shangguan Wan'er. " Zhu Ding gave Shangguan Wan'er a meaningful look, this woman  In front of Wei Shi, Wei Shi was convinced. In front of Princess Taiping, Princess Taiping also believed that her gentleness was not simple.  With this ability, Zhu Dian was beyond his reach. However, Zhu Dian did not have a very good opinion of Shangguan Xiaowan. If he had not known that Shangguan Wan'er had informed Wang Hua in time, he might have been very disgusted with this talented woman after all.  Influence, I believe that one servant can serve two masters, and a good girl should not marry two husbands. Especially this ability to deal with people is the same as Zheng Min and Cui Shi. Zhu Deng said lightly: "What did the queen say?  " "The queen said that she will do her best to support the princess as the crown prince, and the son of Erlang and the princess as the crown prince.  "Shangguan Wan'er was very smart. She didn't talk about Li Zhaolang, nor Wang Zhaolang, but the son of Erlang and the princess, and emphasized the pronunciation of the word Erlang. Then she said: "This time Erlang did not hesitate to spend money to bring him the son of Erlang.  The queen was very happy to receive so many gifts?  " "So, the queen has agreed to marry the princess to Manager Wang?  " "Mr. Zhu, you should know how I feel about Erlang.  Why do you need to say this nonsense?  After receiving this gift, many ministers are now embarrassed by this matter and dare not speak out.  Never mind this.  Even the queen would not marry the princess immediately. How could she not play this card at a good price?  She only asked me to bring one sentence, because many ministers in the court objected and Yidu was not feeling well, so she was arranging for someone to handle the matter.  But this is not false. Maybe the day after tomorrow, some ministers will bring up the issue of the princess's marriage.  But the voice will not be loud, just enough to overwhelm the opposing ministers.  The first is to show off to Erlang, and the second is to delay.  Let me ask another thing, what does Erlang think of the Queen's proposal?  "This is to ask Li Guo'er to be the heir to the throne to impress Wang Hua and win Wang Hua's support." Zhu Dian immediately replied: "It's none of my business, just hang it up high."  You can tell the queen that Manager Wang is not interested in matters in the court.  If the queen is sincere, she should marry the princess as soon as possible.  " The first sentence of refusal and the second sentence gave Wei Shi hope. Shangguan Wan'er knew the inside story and immediately thought of many things. She sighed and said, "But by doing this, Erlang pushed the emperor into a more dangerous position.  " "As long as Webster is not dead, Lu will be in trouble.  As long as the emperor is still alive, no one can touch the queen.  " Shangguan Wan'er was silent. In the current dispute between the emperor and the empress, it was only a group of ministers who were unlucky. Li Xian was only fighting to take back his rights. He could not forget the encouragement he received from Fangzhou in the past. In fact, during this period, she  Not many people can understand the feeling of seeing Li Xian getting much older and often sitting in the hall in a daze. She then said: "Mr. Zhu, there is one more thing I want to tell you. It's the princess.  thing.  " "Please tell me," Zhu Tong frowned. He asked the women around Wang Hua and several other womenHe respected them all, but the only one he disliked was Li Guoer.  "I told her something and asked her to guess that the queen might harm the emperor. Although I covered it up, the princess also mentioned it to the emperor and told him to be careful. But fortunately she didn't say it.  Erlang told me. "Even if Li Guo'er said it was Wang Hua who revealed it, there wouldn't be much of a problem.  But Shangguan Wan'er will be involved.  After Shangguan Wan'er thought about this, she secretly wiped her sweat. Although father and daughter were close to each other, Li Guo'er didn't want her parents to meet each other in war. She could understand this feeling.  But after the incident, Webster immediately investigated the matter in the palace.  He executed dozens of palace maids and eunuchs around Li Guoer. Fortunately, he was careful and did not make the queen suspicious.  Zhu Tong asked: "Then how did the emperor answer?" "He asked the princess where he heard it from. The princess couldn't answer, and even Erlang had no evidence, just speculation. So the princess replied,  Now people in Luoyang are talking about this. But the emperor was immediately angry and sent people to investigate, but they were not found. However, the emperor was also placed under house arrest.  Be careful." At this point, her face darkened.  In fact, the first person who is good to her is Li Xian, and the second is Li Xian.  With her wisdom, she could tell that Wang Hua was sincere in protecting her safety, but his feelings for her were not as sincere as Li Xianlai's.  No matter how hard Li Xian took precautions, he was far less clever than the queen. If he wanted to kill the emperor, Webster could find at least ten ways.  After a moment of silence, Shangguan Wan'er said again: "But before the princess was put under house arrest, she asked me to tell her something about whether it could keep her father safe?" This sentence was equivalent to not asking, and Zhu Tong answered that if Wei Shi is not dead, Lu will be in trouble.  Incessantly.  It was impossible for Wang Hua to protect Li Xian's safety, and it was impossible for Wang Hua to change Wang Hua's plan for Li Xian.  Unless Wu Zetian is kind to him.  Shangguan Wan'er asked this mainly because she wanted Zhu Dian to come up with a reason to prevent Li Guo'er from hating Wang Hua in the future.  Her Sang Ma is not Wang Hua, but Li Guoer. Otherwise, how can she establish herself after arriving in Oceania?  Zhu Tong thought for a long time before saying: "No. If there is evidence, perhaps Mr. Wang has a way to rescue him. But now it is just speculation. Unless Mr. Wang leads tens of thousands of cavalry to Luoyang to protect the safety of Luoyang and the palace, now  Only by replacing all the Yulin troops in Luoyang City and the palace, as well as the eunuchs and maids, can we protect the emperor's safety. "This is obviously unrealistic.  But this reason is enough to frustrate Li Guoer.  Although it was against his will, Zhu Tong also did not want any unpleasantness to happen between Wang Hua and Li Guoer.  Not for Li Guoer, but for Wang Hua.  The family is in harmony and everything is prosperous. Wang Hua has a quiet harem, which is of great help to Wang Hua himself, the soldiers and people of the Northwest Blood Camp, and Oceania.  Shangguan Wan'er had finished what she wanted to say, and she finally said: "There is one more thing, please tell Mr. Zhu to tell Erlang. Because of my recklessness, I leaked some news, which made the princess impulsive. Originally, I wanted to take advantage of the chaos.  , took the princess and their children to escape from Luoyang, and I also prepared an escape route, but now that the princess is under house arrest, this idea may not be realized, so I must stay in the palace and continue to deal with the princess and her son.  Then pay attention to the three of us." After saying that, he stood up and said goodbye, leaving a faint fragrance.  Seeing her leaving gracefully, Zhu Dian laughed.  The last sentence seems sincere, but it is not true. If Shangguan Xiaowan takes the risk and continues to stay in the palace on the day of great changes, and later goes to Oceania, coupled with her achievements in the previous year, she will have a lot of achievements.  Big right to speak.  I hope you will keep this wisdom in doing practical things, Zhu Ding thought in his heart.  But his expression suddenly changed. If Shangguan Xiaowan and Li Guoer could not escape from the palace, their original plan would be in big trouble.  Thinking of this, Zhu Tong whispered: "Princess, princess, why does Wang Hua fall in love with you?"
