Li Yuanying's flattery was always accurate, and with a few words, he scratched His Majesty Li Er's itch.
Chengyang Scholars have all passed the exam, so why can't they be envoys to watch the ceremony? There has been no such thing since ancient times, why can't Datang have it? Now the sea masters are doing pretty well, if anything happens, Du He and the others will definitely be able to keep Chengyang safe, and it is not a big problem for Chengyang to go to Silla to watch the ceremony.
Seeing that His Majesty Li Er's expression was relaxed, Minister of the Ministry of Rites knew something was wrong, and cursed Li Yuanying, a shameless sycophant, in his heart.
The two brothers of the Li family were shameless, so the Minister of Rites decided to retreat first and talk to Changsun Wuji about it. When Changsun Wuji heard it, he wanted to let his niece go to sea, so it's okay? It was only a few days since Li Yuanying stopped, and yet such a thing happened again, it was really a headache.
Changsun Wuji approached Shangfang Xuanling and Wei Zheng to see His Majesty Li Er, and they agreed: This is absolutely impossible!
His Majesty Li Er was annoyed, and Li Yuanying drew him a map of Henan Road to Silla, saying that this section of the road is very close, with few hidden reefs, and stable traffic, and sharks and big fish don't like to come here very much, while Du He and the others usually love it. Strolling up and down here, from time to time, they would conduct a drill against Goryeo, scaring the pirates and smugglers who had been messing around in the sea to shrink back. So, going to Silla from here is safe, fast and certainly not dangerous!
His Majesty Li Er also knew that there was no such thing as "certainly not", but he also recognized that the risk Li Yuanying said was very small, and that Chengyang would be safe with the naval guards.
His Majesty Li Er had agreed to Li Yuanying, and now Changsun Wuji and the others came to object, which made him feel very humiliated. His Majesty Li Er began to play rogue: Chengyang is my own daughter, I like to let her go, you don't care. I don't listen to what is incompatible with etiquette, what is dangerous at sea, I don't listen, I don't listen.
It was very irritating for His Majesty Li Er to play a scoundrel, so Wei Zheng was so angry that he went home holding his breath. One day Li Yuanying ran to the Ci'en Temple to play, and passed by Wei Zheng's house, thinking that he hadn't seen this old Wei for a long time, and missed him very much, so he asked someone to cut a few catties of venison and rode a horse to Wei Zheng. home visit.
As a result, Wei Zheng wanted to kick him out.
Li Yuanying was puzzled, he seemed to be quite obedient recently, and he didn't offend Old Wei. He squeezed through the door with a shameless face, took the venison to cook for Mrs. Pei himself, went to Wei Zheng's side to show his courtesy, and asked Wei Zheng why he was angry.
Wei Zheng had nothing to do with him, he could only scold him for encouraging His Majesty Li Er to send Chengyang as an envoy to Silla.
Li Yuanying said: "Chengyang and Manman are classmates. The succession of classmates is such a great event. Chengyang went to see what happened? The third nephew and the fourth nephew have also been to Tubo and Goryeo as envoys. Why can't Chengyang go?" ? Don’t you also think that girls should not go out for a walk, girls should not broaden their horizons, and girls should go on behalf of the Tang Dynasty to damage the face of the Tang Dynasty?” Li Yuanying thought it was too strange, “Everyone has a father and a mother, the same Born and grown up the same way, why can boys do it but girls can't? Is it because girls have a piece of flesh missing from their crotch?"
Wei Zheng's blood surged with Li Yuanying's words. Has he ever spoken like that? What does it mean to lose a piece of meat under the crotch? It's simply vulgar!
Wei Zheng scolded: "You have only returned to Chang'an for a few days and you have made so many troubles?!"
Li Yuanying was a little aggrieved: "It's the same when I didn't go back to Chang'an." He was more comfortable making noise in Tengzhou. If the emperor hadn't said that he would be allowed to play around after the World Expo next year, he wouldn't have come back.
Wei Zheng had nothing to do with Li Yuanying, and he couldn't think of how to persuade Li Yuanying.
I have to say that what Li Yuanying said sounds reasonable. His Majesty Li Er is willing to let his daughter go, so what are they stopping
The princess of the Tang Dynasty went to watch the ceremony in person, which might make Jin Shengman's position as the king more secure. His Majesty Li Er has never given up on using troops against Goryeo, and the court also has a lot of support for Silla. If Jin Shengman can quickly gain a foothold, it will be a great thing for Datang.
Datang can have princesses who dare to go abroad and use the honor of a princess as an envoy to various countries, and later generations may exaggerate the openness and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty when they mention it. If he didn't have enough confidence in his own national power, who would dare to let a weak woman travel far as an emissary
Although Li Yuanying said that there is no difference between boys and girls, in fact there is still a difference, at least in physical strength, women's bodies are generally difficult to bear the pain of running around.
Unexpectedly, Princess Chengyang, who seemed to be the most worry-free since she was a child, would be the first person to take this step.
Wei Zheng sighed, and had no choice but to eat fat and delicious stewed deer breast with Li Yuanying. Pei's is best at cooking venison. This stewed venison has a rich sauce and tender meat. It's delicious and easy to eat, making people want to eat it again!
The next day, Wei Zheng turned against him. He not only supported the appointment of Chengyang as an envoy, but further proposed that Chengyang should be directly appointed as an envoy, and stated in an orderly manner the important strategic significance of this move for the management of Liaodong.
Li Yuanying, the instigator, was brought in to listen, and he was stunned. He just wanted Chengyang to have fun, but he didn't expect Wei Zheng to figure out so many things.
Jiang is really old and hot, he still has to study hard!
Li Yuanying shamelessly leaned beside His Majesty Li Er and applauded Wei Zheng: "That's right, that's the way it is. Listen to it, Brother Emperor, that's the reason!"
His Majesty Li Er was also quite satisfied.
Yes, that's right, he is not only showing the power of the Tang Dynasty to the Silla countries, but also managing Liaodong.
Both Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling felt that Wei Zheng's actions were not authentic: You don't have to turn around so quickly if you know that Li Yuanying is your grandson-in-law? After all, you are also an admonisher, so why are you also shameless? !
Since there was a traitor in the opposition camp, and the traitor was eloquent and venomous, the matter of Cheng Yang and Wu Mei's envoy to Silla was settled, and the embassy could go to Tengzhou to meet them with their credentials.
Li Yuanying went back and praised Wei Zheng with Wei Shu, saying that this old Wei is very good and powerful, and he wants to learn more from him. If Chengyang can go today, it will be their turn to go tomorrow, which is great!
Compared with Li Yuanying's cheerfulness, Changsun Wuji was not in such a good mood. After returning home, he called his son and daughter-in-law, and asked his daughter-in-law, Princess Changle, to write a letter to Cheng Yang, persuading this sister, who is a direct relative, not to let Cheng Yang mess around with Li Yuanying.
Only then did Princess Changle know that Chengyang was going to Silla. She got married at the age of twelve or thirteen, and married into her uncle's family. Everyone treated her very well, and her life was smooth and happy. Although the body is a little weak, it has improved a lot in the past few years. The imperial doctor said that after recuperation, he should have a child soon.
As a princess of the Tang Dynasty, it is already very good to have such a considerate and caring husband-in-law and such a smooth and peaceful life. Princess Changle has always been quite satisfied.
She didn't expect that Chengyang, who was the quietest among them, not only followed Li Yuanying to study in the Imperial College, not only relied on his own ability to pass the examination as a female Jinshi, but now also represented the Tang Dynasty as an envoy to Silla.
Princess Changle suddenly remembered that Li Yuanying came to visit her in the mansion many years ago, and persuaded her old-fashionedly to go out more, saying that women can also live wonderful and interesting lives. At that time, she only thought that Li Yuanying was young and naive, and that it was not bad for a woman to be a good husband and parent in her life, how could it be more exciting and interesting
Princess Changle went back to her residence and picked up a pen to write a letter to Chengyang. She was gentle and virtuous since elementary school, and she was also good at persuading people.
But after being stained with ink, Princess Changle didn't write for a long time.
She once heard the women's relatives talking about the women's college in Tengzhou at the flower viewing banquet. Many people thought that the women there went to the academy to study like men, which was really outrageous.
Forget about poor girls, even many daughters of officials were sent there to please Li Yuanying. How can girls be like boys? Men and women are born different. Girls don’t stay at home to get married, learn how to manage the house, how to care for their husbands and children, what’s the point of going out every day? It’s fine if they’re all daughters of good families, just think of it as a way to meet some people, the key is that there are quite a few of them who come from mud-legged backgrounds, if you go in and out with them, you’ll be laughed at!
Princess Changle sat quietly for a long time before she put down her pen and wrote a letter to Cheng Yang again.
Within a few days, Cheng Yang and Wu Mei received the order from Chang'an. After Wei Zheng's rebellion, Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling gave up struggling and signed the imperial edict with their eyes closed, making Cheng Yang the chief envoy and Wu Mei the deputy envoy.
Cheng Yang and Wu Mei couldn't believe it when they accepted the order.
When they wrote to Li Yuanying, they didn't have much hope. Even if they succeeded, they just wanted to mix in the mission to watch the ceremony. Unexpectedly, Li Yuanying directly made them the leaders.
They didn't know that Wei Zheng had played a part in it until they read the letter that Li Yuanying shamelessly entrusted the messenger to bring over with him.
Wu Mei smiled and said: "It seems that we are still in the favor of sister Shu."
Li Yuanying couldn't figure out why Wei Zheng would suddenly turn against him, but Wu Mei figured out the joint in the blink of an eye: Wei Zheng is a stubborn old man, yes, but he also loves his granddaughter Wei Shu very much. I got used to it.
This time Wei Zheng fought for them to go on a mission, in fact, he was fighting for Wei Shu, and for more girls in the future.
No matter whose favor it is, this matter is settled anyway.
Holding the imperial edict, Cheng Yang laughed happily, and briskly lifted the hem of his skirt to talk to Du He about it. After several years of training, Du He has matured a lot. He was a dandy when he was young, and he didn't have so many old-fashioned ideas. Seeing Chengyang smiling so happily, he naturally followed suit. He patted his chest and said that she didn't have to worry about anything. With their guards on the road, there is absolutely no danger.
Di Renjie was a little dissatisfied with this, and complained to Wu Mei reluctantly: "You can go out and play happily, and the matter is all on my head." He also wants to go to sea to see!
Wu Mei looked at him, showing a faint smile: "It's not a difficult task for you, there will be no problem with you sitting in Tengzhou."
Di Renjie's ears were red, and he forced himself to say calmly: "Of course there will be no problem." After he finished speaking, he stopped drinking tea, stopped talking, and found an excuse to run away.
Wu Mei looked at Di Renjie's fleeing back, and couldn't help laughing even more happily.
Who would have imagined such a day before
Two days later, Princess Changle's letter was delivered to Cheng Yang. Cheng Yang usually communicates with Princess Changle, especially after the completion of the post office, the sisters will regularly write letters to talk about recent events.
However, the last time they communicated was last month, and a month hadn't passed yet, so this letter came a bit suddenly.
Princess Changle has been raised by Empress Changsun the longest, and she behaves the most like Empress Changsun. She usually advises these younger sisters a lot.
The news in Chang'an City must have spread quickly. Cheng Yang knew that Princess Changle might have written the letter suddenly because she knew about her mission to Silla, and she was already prepared to be scolded. She opened the letter and read it, but was stunned.
Princess Changle didn't persuade her not to go, but only reminded her a lot in the letter: you have to prepare well when you go to Silla, the sea is windy and rough, even if you don't encounter danger, getting cold is enough to make people suffer. So if you want to get out of the cabin to see it, be sure to pick a time when the weather is good. Wear enough clothes and don't get cold. I was born in Chang'an and lived in Chang'an all my life. I'm afraid I won't have the chance to visit other places. It's rare for you to go out and see what the sea is like, and what Silla is like. Your letters about Tengzhou are very well written. I read them several times every time, as if I saw them with my own eyes.
Cheng Yang looked at it, and for some reason, he shed tears.
The author has something to say:
Little Prince: I really just want everyone to hang out!
