On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 504 The Li family’s mother and daughter

Li Shimin did not know about the emotional dispute between Dou and Li Yuan, Yang Guang and Cui Che.

After all, that was almost thirty years ago, and there are only a few people who know the inside story.

Besides, this matter concerns Yang Guang and Cui Che, and neither of them dares to talk about it in front of others. Otherwise, no matter who settles the scores between Cui Che and Yang Guang, there will be no good consequences.

Besides, even if you gossip behind your back, it is impossible to reach the ears of a ten-year-old boy.

Therefore, when Li Yuan and Li Shimin talked about the events of that year in detail, Li Shimin was shocked and dumbfounded.

He always thought that his father was jealous of Yang Guang because of the prophecy that "the Li family will be popular".

At that time, Cui Che rebelled, and various prophecies were circulated. Among them was the one fabricated by Cui Che's people, "The land of Yan has the aura of a king, and Cui will be the emperor."

There is also a simple and unpretentious saying, "The Li family is in high demand."

At that time, it was a special period. Yang Guang was betrayed by Cui Che. When he was sensitive and suspicious, he heard that "the Li family was on the rise" and feared that a second Cui Che would appear, so he raised his butcher knife towards the Li Mu clan.

Compared with the Li Mu clan, Tang Guogong Li Yuan can only be regarded as a small family.

During the Yuchijun Rebellion, Li Mu, who was the governor of Bingzhou at the time, chose to support Yang Jian, so he was regarded as the first hero of the Sui Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, just saying "The Li family is on the rise" would cost the lives of more than thirty members of their clan. Only Li Min followed Cui Che to develop in Hebei and escaped.

Although Li Yuan was not affected, it gave Yang Guang one more reason to hate him.

Before Li Shimin could marvel at the fact that Li Yuan, Yang Guang, and Cui Che all admired Dou, a woman walked in. She frowned slightly and scolded:

"My husband is old and disrespectful. This old story that I am ashamed to talk about is actually mentioned to Erlang."

The person who entered the door was Mrs. Dou of Tang Dynasty.

Following behind Mr. Dou was a young girl who looked exactly like her mother when she was young, but a little more heroic.

"The daughter pays homage to her father."

The girl bowed to Li Yuan and said.

She is Li Yuan's third daughter and Dou's biological daughter.

Li was fourteen years old at the time, and her maiden name was Xiuning. She had already chosen a family and had a marriage contract with Chai Shao, the son of Chai Shen, the Duke of Julu County.

The reason why she is not married yet is because when she was preparing for the wedding, something happened to Chai Shao's family. His mother died of illness. According to the etiquette, they could not talk about marriage for three years, so their marriage was naturally postponed.

Fortunately, at the beginning of next year, when the three-year period expires, Li Xiuning will be sent to Jiangdu to marry Chai Shao.

Unlike Li Yuan who suffered from suspicion, the Chai family was deeply trusted by Yang Guang.

When Prince Yang Zhao of Yuande was alive, Chai Shao's father, Chai Shen, served as the crown prince's right guard and was in charge of the East Palace Guards. His son, Chai Shao, also benefited from his father's influence and started his own business in the East Palace Zuo Qianniu Preparation.

It was precisely because of the status of the Chai family and his son in the East Palace that Li Yuan married the Chai family in order to invest in the heir apparent.

However, God's calculations were not as good as those of others, so the marriage was finalized and the news of Yang Zhao's death came.

Although the Chai family and his son were not affected by this incident, they were angered by Yang Guang.

However, since Yang Zhao is dead, the emperor and his ministers will naturally not regard the Chai family as their confidants, unless the emperor's grandson takes the throne.

However, Li Yuan did not regret his marriage because of this. If this matter spread, he would definitely be despised by the world.

"No need to be polite."

Li Yuan raised his right hand slightly, letting Li Xiuning stand up, and Li Shimin also hurriedly greeted him:

"The child has paid homage to his mother and has met his sister."

Dou nodded and said:

"Feng, there's no need to be polite."

Li Shimin had a high spirit since he was a child and often compared himself to a phoenix, so he was often called Afeng by his family.

Li Xiuning helped her second brother up. Seeing that her parents seemed to have something to say, she smiled and said:

"It's rare to have good weather today, why don't you go out for a walk with me, Feng?"

As she said this, she glanced at her parents. Li Shimin also understood the situation immediately. He and Li Xiuning said goodbye to Li Yuan and Mr. Dou, and left quickly with their permission.

Only the husband and wife were left in the room, Li Yuan smiled awkwardly and said:

"Madam, did you hear everything just now?"

Mr. Dou said angrily:

"I heard that Bishamon (Li Jiancheng) sent a letter from Jiangnan, so I came here in a hurry. I had no intention of listening to what you and your father had to say."

Compared with Li Shimin's nickname A Feng, which was the result of comparing himself to Phoenix, then Li Jiancheng's nickname comes from Buddhism.

Bishamon is a transliteration of Sanskrit, referring to one of the four heavenly kings mentioned in the Buddhist scriptures, King Bishamon.

When Li Yuan heard that his wife was here to read a letter, he immediately gave the letter that Li Shimin returned to Mr. Dou.

Unlike the Li family and his son, Dou was not concerned about the current situation in the DPRK, but the family affairs mentioned in Li Jiancheng's letter. Li Jiancheng mentioned in his letter that he had a new son, named Li Chengzong, which made Dou very happy.

.

As for the Yang family's country, she really doesn't care.

Even if Cui Che really usurped the Sui Dynasty, Dou would still applaud him.

It wasn't that she had an affair with Cui Che. As Cui Che explained to Yang Lihua, the two of them had only met a few times at banquets after their respective marriages, and had no contact with each other.

The Dou family's maternal clan is the Yuwen family. She was deeply loved by her uncle, Emperor Wu of Zhou Dynasty, Yuwen Yong, and was raised in the palace since childhood.

Although she is said to be a niece, she is actually not much different from a daughter.

When Yang Jian usurped the Zhou Dynasty and slaughtered Yuwentai's descendants, Dou family once fell on his bed and cried:

'I just regret that I am not a man and can't save my uncle's family from danger!'

His father Dou Yi and his mother, the eldest princess of Xiangyang of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, were so frightened that they quickly covered her mouth and told her not to bring disaster to the family.

This country belongs to their Yang family, and the Dou family hopes that Cui Che will treat him the same way as he did, so that Yang Jian can also taste the death of his descendants.

Just when Mr. Dou was happy that his eldest son had become a father, Li Yuan suddenly asked:

"Does Madam regret marrying me?"

Although the status of Mrs. Tang was respected, how could she compare to Cui Che, Yang Guang's wife?

Mr. Dou shook his head and said:

"After thirty years of marriage, I have never regretted being my husband's wife."

As she spoke, she continued:

"I know my husband's worries. Regardless of my age and beauty now, if those two people really force me, I will defend my chastity to the death and will never humiliate my husband."

Li Yuan was deeply moved when he heard this. He hugged Mrs. Dou in his arms and said with emotion:

"Having such a good wife, Yuan Yi will have no regrets in this life."

While the Li family and his wife were embracing each other, Cui Che was also busy making final preparations before crossing the river in Puzhou.

The pontoon bridge is already being set up, and all kinds of materials have been transferred from Jiangzhou by Cheng Lou. As for the 200,000 troops of the Western Expedition, they are all in place. Just wait for the pontoon bridge to be set up and Cui Che gives the order to march straight in.

.

At the same time, Yu Wenshu was also discussing with Gao Jiong how to defend against the enemy.

There is no record of Princess Pingyang Zhao's maiden name in the history books, but due to the relationship between the two dragons of the Tang Dynasty, the name Li Xiuning was widely circulated. It was not good for Li's family, so she simply borrowed Li Xiuning.

The update will be a little later tomorrow, I have to go out during the day.
