Chapter 97 The Tang Princess's Family Tradition
Chapter 97 The Tang Dynasty Princess's Family Tradition
This is a young and beautiful face with a hint of maturity and determination in the eyes.
Princess Honghua, who is only eighteen years old this year, should have been enjoying the best of her youth, but last year, she left her hometown and married far away Tuyuhun.
The mission of a country fell on her small shoulders and she had to bear it.
Now, the princess's face was filled with confusion and shock, which was extremely complicated, and her eyes were moist and red at the fastest speed.
She suddenly shrank back, and the sound of suppressed sobs could be faintly heard inside the frame.
Li Chengqian was silent.
He waved his hand and asked the ministers to step back, leaving Princess Honghua space to vent her emotions.
Sometimes, he felt that something was wrong.
But fate always plays tricks on people.
A speck of dust on the national situation is as heavy as Mount Tai when it falls on her.
Today, he doesn't need to come at all, and neither do his ministers.
We only need people from the Ministry of Rites, Honglu Temple, and Zongzheng Temple to come.
It doesn't need to be a high-ranking official, as long as it meets the reception standards.
But Li Chengqian came anyway and called all the civil and military officials.
He wanted to give Princess Honghua attention and courtesy.
He wanted to give Princess Honghua an extremely high-level reception.
Sacrifice for the country and contribute to the country.
When you return to visit your family, I will treat you with great gifts.
Thousands of dollars to buy horse bones.
Li Chengqian wanted to tell the world clearly through this action that no matter who you are, as long as you are dedicated to the country, you can sacrifice for the country.
The Tang Dynasty will surely reward them generously and treat them with courtesy.
If a princess is like this, there must be no fewer ministers in the court.
In a word, the Tang Dynasty will not treat any meritorious official unfairly.
Inside the carriage, Princess Honghua was still sobbing.
Li Chengqian was not in a hurry either. He was a little confused about how to address her.
Because Princess Honghua was not his sister, but rather an aunt.
She is Li Er's cousin, but she is announced to the outside world as the daughter of the emperor.
At that time, Huaiyang King Li Daoming, who was escorting Princess Honghua to surrender, was stripped of his princely title because he revealed that Princess Honghua was not the emperor's biological daughter.
Li Chengqian thought about it and finally decided to call her princess in formal occasions and to make the decision in private.
Civil and military officials looked around frequently, because this time, not only civil officials but also military officials came.
Li Xiaogong, Li Jing, Cheng Zhijie, Yuchi Jingde, Li Ji and other dukes were among them.
They were a little impatient, and in their eyes, they didn't actually care that much about Princess Honghua.
However, since the prince did not move, they did not dare to move either.
He really is still the prince from last year.
The curtain was opened again, and Princess Honghua quickly got off the carriage, knelt down, and said, "Your Highness, I, Honghua, kowtow to the Crown Prince and respectfully ask about his health!"
She slammed her head to the ground, but did not stand up. She continued, "I was disrespectful just now and offended His Royal Highness. Please forgive me, His Royal Highness!"
"Guan!"
Li Chengqian stepped forward and grabbed her. Princess Honghua looked up and saw the gentle eyes of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
"Princess, I'm sorry."
Honghua's lips pursed, like a wounded child who suddenly received care and understanding, and he couldn't help but burst into tears again.
"For the country, I will not be wronged."
"Get up."
Li Chengqian helped her stand up. He said nothing more, but just tilted his head slightly. The civil and military officials behind him immediately noticed and stepped forward, saluted and shouted, "Your Highness, the Princess, are here to see you."
This scene made Honghua panic for a moment.
She didn't recognize everyone present.
But I know what different official robes represent.
Such a scene as so many princes and ministers was something she had never seen before when she got married.
Now, just bow respectfully in front of her.
Li Chengqian pinched her, and Honghua forced himself to calm down and said, "Gentlemen, please don't be polite!"
"Thank you, Your Highness Princess!"
All the ministers then stood up and clasped their hands respectfully.
at this time.
A man finally broke free from the guards' restraints, staggered and rushed over, knelt in front of Li Chengqian and bowed, saying: "I am a loyal and brave sinner, I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and wish you all the best!"
Loyal and brave.
The Chinese name of Murong Nuohebo.
At this moment, he was like a stray dog or a stray dog on the roadside, kowtowed to Li Chengqian again and again.
"I, the Princess of the Great Tang, condescended to come to you, but you did not feel grateful or respectful to the Princess, causing her to be humiliated and wronged."
"You deserve to die!"
Li Chengqian's tone was flat, but to Murong Nuohebo it was like a death warrant, and he kowtowed like pounding garlic.
"It is the fault of the guilty minister. It is the guilty minister's incompetence."
"I know I was wrong, please forgive me, Your Highness. Please forgive me."
"There are treacherous ministers and traitors in the country..."
Li Chengqian didn't want to pay any attention to him. He asked, "Duke Lu...?"
Cheng Zhijie's heart skipped a beat. He reacted immediately by pulling Yuchi Jingde, then quickly stepped forward, gathered his strength and kicked towards Zhonglie who was kowtowing.
"what!"
Zhonglie screamed, he never expected this to happen.
"It's his mother's fault."
He approached and started beating Zhonglie up, swearing at him.
Yuchi Jingde was a little dumbfounded. If we were not brothers, how could you act so quickly?
Seeing that he was still in a daze, Li Jing secretly kicked him. Only then did Yuchi Jingde come to his senses and immediately joined the battle.
"Princess, let's go."
"Your Majesty is waiting for you in Liangyi Palace."
Li Chengqian didn't even look at her. He turned a deaf ear to Zhonglie's screams and led Princess Honghua away.
Princess Honghua looked back twice, sneered, and turned away.
The ministers followed him and left.
"Duke Zhao, why don't you go up and kick him twice?"
Wei Zheng couldn't help but whisper a joke, and Changsun Wuji glared at him and said unhappily, "Stop it!"
"Why don't you go?" "Those two old bastards can do it for you."
"Me too."
The two smiled at each other. They knew the purpose of this move.
The prince is giving Cheng Zhijie and Yuchi Jingde an opportunity.
Ever since the grand court meeting, Cheng Zhijie and Yuchi Jingde have been completely linked to the marriage issue.
Today, if Cheng Zhijie and the other two don't take action against Murong Nuohebo, where is your bravery and your former prestige?
Did the prince make a wrong assessment of you?
They must live up to the evaluation given by the prince. If you can beat the prime minister of Tubo, why can't you beat the king of Tuyuhun?
"Why would I hit someone again?"
"I haven't done it in a long time."
Yuchi Jingde rubbed his fists and took a deep breath.
He is old and can't handle such strenuous exercise as beating people.
"I'm talking to Brother Heizi."
"Why don't we have tacit understanding?"
Cheng Zhijie complained: "I've already pulled you, but you haven't responded yet."
"You make me very tired."
I can’t carry it. I’m really afraid that I can’t carry this black hair.
Why did he get involved with this black guy at that time?
Now the two of them are tied together and can't be separated, and he can't be left behind.
Do you think Cheng Zhijie, this tough guy, is angry?
The prince is too cunning.
"I'm telling you, from now on you have to do this..."
The two men left whispering to each other, leaving Murong Nuohebo with a bruised face and questioning his life.
When has he ever been subjected to such violence?
But the guards didn't give him a chance to breathe, they just picked him up and dragged him away.
Liangyi Palace.
The ministers entered first, and Li Chengqian also sat down.
Li Er sat in a high position in the center.
Afterwards, the ceremonial officer sang and Princess Honghua came to the audience.
After a set of rituals is completed.
Li Er waved his hand and said, "Honghua, come, come to me."
Honghua hesitated and even said that he dared not, but at Li Er's request, he came to Li Er's side and knelt down.
Li Er held her hand, examined her carefully, and said gently, "I've been wronged."
"Your Majesty, minister..."
"From now on, Datang is your mother's home. If anyone dares to bully you, tell me."
Li Er said: "I will send troops to attack them."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness..."
"Tell me, what about Tuyuhun?"
Under the gaze of his ministers, Li Er was like a loving parent, speaking softly and asking questions in a very kind manner.
Everyone was silent, watching this unique scene.
"Ha ha!"
"Good, good kill."
"That man's name is Li Yifu, right?"
"Okay, I remember it."
"If you dare to offend the majesty of the Tang Dynasty and disrespect the princess of the Tang Dynasty, you will die and your clan will be destroyed."
Li Er said arrogantly: "Murong Nuohebo, where is my good loyal hero?"
"Bring it up!"
Honghua tactfully stood up and left, then sat down next to Li Chengqian, who immediately started discussing with her in a low voice.
Murong Nuohebo appeared with a bruised face and nose, and prostrated himself on the ground in worship.
Li Er was a little surprised. What was going on? Who dared to do that?
Cheng Zhijie looked so arrogant, as if it was just a matter of words written on his face: "I did it."
Li Er took a quick look and saw Cheng Zhijie's face. He had no idea what was going on.
He didn't care, and looked coldly at Murong Nuohebo who was prostrating himself, and said lightly:
"Loyal and brave."
"I am very happy with your Chinese name, but I don't like your behavior."
Murong Nuohebo cried out, "I know I deserve death, but this is not what I want."
"I have great respect for Her Royal Highness the Princess and would not dare to offend her."
"It is all because of the incompetence of the guilty ministers who failed to control and govern the country, allowing King Xuan to be domineering..."
Li Er said coldly, "You still know."
"If I didn't know clearly that it was not you who did it, do you think you would still kneel at my feet and repent?"
"I would have cut you into pieces and destroyed your country long ago."
Murong Nuohebo kowtowed repeatedly, "I am a guilty subject, I deserve death. I am a guilty subject, I deserve death."
"Want to die? You're in luck."
"Take him away and keep him under guard first."
Li Er gave the order.
"and many more!"
He suddenly stopped and asked, "Zhonglie, how did you get the wound on your face?"
Murong Nuohebo trembled with fear and said, "I know I have committed a grave sin and was afraid to confess before Your Majesty. I was careless and fell while walking."
Ok?
The ministers were slightly surprised, and then they smiled indifferently.
Even Li Chengqian glanced at him.
"It's a bit quick-witted."
He said to Honghua.
Honghua hated Murong Nuohebo to death. Even though he was her husband, she always looked down on him.
"He is just a weak and incompetent villain."
"When faced with life and death, he knows better than anyone what to do."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian couldn't help laughing.
The Tang Dynasty princesses look down on their own men, which is really a family tradition.
