The arrangement of this dinner really made Zuo Shaoyang depressed. Fortunately, there were many people coming this time, so Bai Zhihan was not allowed to cook. The two chefs hired by the family prepared the banquet. However, before the chef could go to the kitchen, he had to go through the Queen and the Prince. The body was searched in detail by the personal chamberlain, the entire kitchen was searched again and again, and all the food was inspected. The entire cooking process was monitored by several chamberlains. The meals are prepared in two portions, and a dedicated person tastes the other portion first to make sure there is no problem or poisoning before the waiter personally brings it to the table. This meal was also very awkward. Although it was a family banquet hosted by the Zuo family, the Zuo family was a minister and could not eat with the royal family. So the priorities are still divided. The Queen and the others sat alone at several large tables. Because there were so many people, there was no room for them to sit at one table. The Zuo family just set up one at the door. When eating, don¡¯t let go, lest you lose your dignity. These rules had been communicated to the Zuo family in advance by the officials from the Ministry of Rites accompanying them. Father Zuo Gui already knew that Zuo Shaoyang had agreed to marry the princess (but he didn't know that the princess had made a private agreement with Zuo Shaoyang to be a superficial couple). After Zuo Gui learned the news, he quickly recovered from his illness, took a shower and changed clothes to attend the banquet. Act strictly according to the rules of the Ministry of Etiquette. Only Zuo Shaoyang still went his own way and ate whatever he wanted, regardless of his wife Qiao Qiaoer's wink or his father's glare. Don't care at all. He even went to the tables where the royal relatives and relatives were holding wine glasses to toast to the empresses, princes, concubines, princes, and princesses just like he usually entertained guests at home. These people all looked stunned, but when they saw Empress Changsun drinking with a smile, they had no choice but to drink the wine with a smile. The official of the Ministry of Etiquette was so worried that cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but there was nothing he could do. He watched helplessly as Zuo Shaoyang paid tribute to the empress, prince and princess in a circle, and then returned to the table drunkenly. With great difficulty, the banquet was over and it was already dark. Everyone moved to the lobby to drink tea and talk. After sitting down, Queen Changchi said to Zuo Gui: "My dear brother, will you arrange the marriage between Zuo Shenyi and Princess Chang Le when you return to the capital?" Zuo Gui hurriedly stood up and handed over his hands: "Yes, I sincerely follow the emperor's decree." Zuo Gui Shaoyang and Princess Chang Le had expressionless faces, looking down at the ground. Queen Changsun said again: "I heard that my father-in-law's eldest daughter is not married yet. I wonder if it is?" "Yes." "How old is she?" "Nineteen." "Oh." Queen Changsun looked at Zuo Shaoyang. His eldest daughter Zuo Wenzhi. Zuo Wenzhi lowered her head and didn't dare to look. She didn't know why the Queen was talking about her. Do you want to get married? My heart couldn't help but beat wildly. The queen looked at Zuo Wenzhi carefully and said with a smile: "You are quite handsome. Why don't people like Zuo Qing marry their eldest daughter?" "That's why we delayed it." "It's just right!" Queen Changsun said: "The princess is weak and sick, and the emperor is very interested in finding a concubine for the prince. I see that the eldest granddaughter is dignified, virtuous and virtuous, and she is a good match. I want the prince to marry her." Concubine, I wonder what Zuo Qing wants?" Zuo Wenzhi's pretty face turned into a big red cloth with embarrassment, and she buried her head and did not dare to look at anyone. The prince looked at her with a smile. Zuo Gui and his wife were surprised and happy. They quickly bowed and saluted together and said, "Thank you for your grace." This couldn't be better! "Zuo Shaoyang kept complaining in his heart. He had read a lot of novels about the Tang Dynasty royal family and knew that the prince Li Chengqian was really not a good guy. Not only did he do the same thing in front of his face and behind his back, he was also gay and wanted to marry his daughter off. If you are gay, wouldn't that make your daughter a widow? Besides, according to the historical trajectory, this prince will rebel and depose him. Now I don't know whether the history that he messed up will develop like this. It seems that he cured Li Yuan's illness. Although Li Yuan killed the prince Li Tai and made a mess, he still died. In the Western Regions, he wanted to destroy Tubo's unification of the Western Regions, but Tubo still unified the Western Regions. Judging from these two things. , Although I can change the fate of those characters who have no fundamental impact on the historical trajectory and rewrite the endings of insignificant events, I still cannot change things that are related to the entire historical process. If this is the case, that is, whether Prince Li Chengqian. I don¡¯t know about the rebellion, but he should not be the emperor. The emperor is still Li Zhi! Zuo Shaoyang looked at Li Zhi, who was sitting in the back row with his head lowered. He was the ninth son of Emperor Li Shimin. However, he was the biological son of Queen Changpi. Of Queen Changpi's three sons, the second son Li Tai was stabbed to death by Li Yuan. Only the prince Li Chengqian and the youngest son Li Zhi were left. Zuo Shaoyang didn't have time to worry about it. Once the matter was finalized, it was difficult to change his mind, so he stood up hurriedly and said: "Wait a minute! I have something to say about this matter?" Zuo Gui hurriedly turned around and stared at Zuo Shaoyang, fearing that he would refuse the marriage again. Zuo Shaoyang said: "The Crown Princess is the future Queen. Our Zuo family cannot squeeze others out and take advantage of this for ourselves. If this is the case, If we go out, our Zuo family will be ridiculed, especially when the emperor is sick and needs me to treat him. What I know is that the emperor and the empress decided to marry the eldest daughter of my Zuo family to replace the crown princess. If I don¡¯t know, they will say that I am the Zuo family. The family took advantage of the opportunity of the emperor's treatment to usurp the crown prince's throne. This is easy to say but not nice to hear. Our Zuo family cannot afford this crime! " These words made Zuo Gui's father stunned. Thinking about it, this was indeed the case. He couldn't help but look at Queen Changsun again. The Queen smiled slightly and was about to speak, but Zuo Shaoyang said it first: "If the Queen really cares about my Zuo family, the Queen will Daughter, I hope to marry my little daughter to the Ninth Prince as his concubine. " As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes fell on the Ninth Prince Li Zhi. Li Zhi was looking furtively at the concubines in the front row. Zuo Shaoyang followed Li Zhi's gaze and saw one of the concubines in the front row. The girl looked at Li Zhi from the side. She looked at him shyly and looked at him from the corner of her eyes. The woman was bright and charming, with a plump figure. Fatness was considered beautiful in the Tang Dynasty. It has become a social trend in the later period, so almost all of Li Shimin's concubines are plump and fat girls. Compared with these concubines, the concubine Li Zhi looked at could only be considered to be middle-to-lower in figure, but still relatively slim. Seeing the affectionate look between Li Zhi and the fat girl, Zuo Shaoyang's heart suddenly moved: Could it be that she is the Empress Wu Zetian? The only female emperor in history, writing her novels and filming her TV series can be called a prodigal. There are endless rumors. Zuo Shaoyang couldn't help it. It was before Li Shimin died in the 23rd year of Zhenguan that Wu Zetian was Li Shimin's servant. When Li Shimin was the important emperor, he fell in love with Wu Zetian, and they flirted with each other secretly. After Li Shimin died and Li Zhi became emperor, he married his father's woman as his concubine. Throughout the entire feudal dynasty of the Tang Dynasty, Li Zhi is relatively open-minded, so he doesn't seem to care much about this generational confusion. Of course, as we all know, Wu Zetian later killed Li Zhi's original queen and became the queen herself. Later, she used a series of cruel methods. Finally, he became the emperor and became the only female emperor in China. Zuo Shaoyang saw sadness in the eyes of the fat girl who was probably Wu Zetian. If she was Wu Zetian, she would not have thought that she would ascend the throne in the future. Becoming an emperor can only be sad that his lover wants to marry another woman, but he has nothing to do. However, the sleeping lion will eventually wake up and bite someone. Zuo Shaoyang originally wanted his daughter to become Li Zhi's wife, but The daughter will face Wu Zetian, a powerful female figure who is very scheming and ruthless. Her daughter is definitely no match and will die miserably. But what should I do if Zuo Shaoyang has already said it? Father Zuo Gui nodded repeatedly and said: "That's great! "The ultimate purpose of Queen Changbie's move is of course to please Zuo Shaoyang so that Zuo Shaoyang can cure Emperor Li Shimin's terminal illness and pass on the life-prolonging longevity technique to the emperor instead of having to ask Zuo Shaoyang's eldest daughter. Becoming a Crown Princess. Now that Zuo Shaoyang proposed to marry his eldest daughter to his youngest son Li Zhi, and Zuo Gui agreed, it was easier to worry about. After all, changing the Crown Princess was far easier than changing the concubine of an ordinary prince. It was much more difficult, and might cause objections from the ministers. Since the other party proposed it, he was on the right track, and he smiled and said, "Okay, Zhi'er, what do you think? " Li Zhi was obviously in a daze. Ever since he met Wu Meiniang's eyes, his heart had been firmly tied to her. It didn't matter who his princess was. So Li Zhi stood up and saluted: "My child, please obey. The queen mother decides. " Empress Changsun nodded slowly: "If that's the case, Yanran, let the eldest daughter of the Zuo family be your princess. "Zuo Gui and Mr. Liang were beaming. Their eldest daughter Zuo Wenzhi was born to Miao Peilan. They were overjoyed when they heard that their daughter was going to be a princess. Zuo Wenzhi's personality was a bit like her mother's, very shy, and she peeked at Li Seeing his handsome appearance, Zuo Shaoyang secretly liked him and lowered his head shyly. At this moment, Zuo Shaoyang was in a state of confusion. He had already determined from the way Li Zhi looked at the fat girl that it was Li Shimin's talented person Wu Meiniang, who was the future. Empress Wu Zetian! After knowing this, Zuo Shaoyang wanted to change his mind and let his daughter not be Li Zhi's princess, but become a concubine. However, even if she was a concubine, she could not escape Wu Meiniang's vicious hands! After Li Zhi ascended the throne, while fighting for the throne of the queen, he cut off the hands and feet of Li Zhi's queen Wang and his favorite concubine Xiao and put them in a wine jar, euphemistically calling them "bone drunk"! After killing the queen, he still killed the two of them, so he committed suicide.No matter whether she is Li Zhi's princess or concubine, her daughter cannot escape Wu Meiniang! I want to change my words and repent of my marriage, but the words have already been spoken. What should I do? Zuo Shaoyang spent fifteen years in the Western Regions, leading the soldiers and civilians of Mandala to fight against the 200,000 Tibetan army. He had already developed the will to make decisive decisions. Now that the matter had come to this, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and fight Wu Zetian. For the sake of his daughter, and for the future safety of his family. With his advance insight into history, he didn¡¯t believe that he couldn¡¯t defeat Wu Meiniang, who had just debuted and not yet gained power! Thinking of this, Zuo Shaoyang slowly sat down and stared at Wu Meiniang carefully. I saw her looking sad, which really made me pity her. Who would have thought that such a weak woman could kill her own daughter or son for power? Can he use such cruel methods to deal with the queen, concubines and ministers who stand in his way? Empress Changsun said: "This matter has been settled. After we go back and report to the emperor, we will formally decree the marriage." "Thank you for your grace!" Mr. and Mrs. Zuo Gui, Qiao Qiaoer and Miao Peilan hurriedly stood up and saluted again. Empress Changsun smiled and said: "Zuo Qing, your direct descendant is not married yet, right?" "No. Haha" Zuo Gui replied hurriedly. "It may be inappropriate for the eldest daughter to marry first before the legitimate son is married. Why don't we also arrange a marriage for this child? How about marrying the princess of Xincheng to your legitimate son?" Zuo Gui and his wife were surprised and happy. They didn't expect it. Happy events come one after another. The son has just decided to marry the daughter of Emperor Taizu. The eldest granddaughter has married the emperor's ninth prince Jin Wang Li Zhi as the princess. Now, the grandson is marrying the emperor's youngest daughter, Princess Xincheng. Princess Xincheng is the Queen's biological daughter, and she is more valuable than other princesses. This is really three blessings. Zuo Gui hurriedly stood up and came out of the procession. He knelt down and kowtowed: "I would like to express my gratitude to the empress for your grace in having a thousand years old." Mrs. Liang also knelt down. The legitimate son Zuo Wenyuan was born to his first wife Qiao Qiaoer, so he was naturally filled with joy and quickly knelt down and kowtowed in thanks. Zuo Wenyuan is only fifteen years old. He was born to Zuo Shaoyang before he left Hezhou. Although this son is the fourth eldest son in the family, he is the legitimate son, and he is already well-known at such a young age. Now that he has become a royal relative, he is naturally overjoyed. , but she didn't make any special publicity about it, and she didn't look for what her future wife would look like among the other princesses. She just knelt down and thanked her mother. His well-behaved and calm look made the queen nod secretly. Zuo Shaoyang refused to kowtow when he saw the emperor. Everyone knew about his temper, so no one said anything. Zuo Shaoyang sat there and looked at his parents, wife and children kneeling on the ground, smiling bitterly in his heart. The emperor and empress allowed him to marry the daughter of Emperor Taizu and become the emperor's brother-in-law, and then let his son and daughter marry the emperor and empress's. His biological daughter and son got married, and he became the emperor's in-laws. These three moves closely connected him with the emperor and the family of Queen Changbie. All this is naturally so that I can cure the emperor's illness. The most important thing is the longevity and longevity technique that every emperor dreams of! The other concubines, princes and princesses all stood up to congratulate the curtain. The whole room was filled with joy. Queen Changsun said: "Zuo Qing, you are now a third-rank official in the imperial court, and our two families have become in-laws again. Should we move to the capital? Your official and land granter is also in the capital, and he lives in the capital. Doctor Zuo and his children After we get married, it will be easier for us to communicate. What do you think, Zuo Qing? "There is no reason for Zuo Gui to disagree, so he happily agreed. Since the family has to move, although the old house here has to be kept, it will take a lot of effort. However, although the emperor's life is temporarily safe, he cannot delay it too long because he is seriously ill, so he agreed to stay for one more day. , prepare for the Zuo family. Since they were busy moving, the Zuo family members went back to their houses and started to pack up. [Chapter 613 Encounter with Wu Meiniang¡ª¡ª]! !
