Hearing his father's question, Gao Yang smiled in his heart and said with a hint of cunning in his eyes: "First, he must get the top spot in the martial arts exam! This will prove that he is indeed stronger than Fang Jun and did not use any dirty tricks. Win Fangjun!"
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that the first condition proposed by Gao Yang was so high, but he didn't stop him. He wanted to hear what other conditions Gao Yang had!
Seeing that his father did not stop him, Gao Yang gritted his teeth and continued: "Secondly, he must enter the top three in the imperial examination. This will mean that he is a man with both civil and military skills. Only such a person can be my consort!"
"Who do you think can do it in Chang'an City?" Li Shimin said helplessly.
"Father, I don't care. If you want to be my consort, you must be both civil and military!" Gao Yang said coquettishly, pulling on Li Shimin's sleeve.
"Okay, okay, I'll do as you say. I'll let someone tell Luo Zhang that whether he can marry my daughter depends on his own ability!" Li Shimin said with a smile.
"It's a deal!" Gao Yang said with a happy smile. When she thought about it, no matter how powerful Luo Zhang was, how could he possibly get the top three in the imperial examination and the first in the martial arts examination, so in her opinion, Luo Zhang would definitely fail.
At night, Luofu is very lively, and the whole Luofu is filled with an atmosphere of joy.
Luo Zhang's arrival brought life to the originally lifeless Luo Mansion.
In the hall of Luo Mansion, the Luo family, women and children, and Luo Zhang all sat around a round table and ate.
This was the happiest day in Luofu's family since all the men in the family died.
It was quite lively with everyone pushing cups and changing cups, but everyone was still a little sad in their hearts. It didn't matter to the children, as long as they had delicious food, they would be happy.
And adults will miss those relatives who have passed away.
Luo Zhang naturally saw this, poured himself a glass of wine, took a sip, Luo Zhang turned to look at his grandma beside him and said: "Grandma, I wanted to ask you before, why is Luo Mansion like this? Even if uncle Grandpa is gone, so our Luo family won’t be like this, right?”
The old lady's expression changed, and she glanced at her daughters-in-law and daughters, as if she wanted to ask them what they said?
The women naturally heard Luo Zhang's words and saw the old lady's eyes, shaking their heads.
Seeing this, Luo Zhang secretly thought that there was indeed something fishy in this!
"Zhang'er, how can it not be like this without a man in the family? You don't understand these things. You will know when you get married and start a business!" the old lady said with a careless look.
"Grandma, if you really think that I am a member of the Luo family, you should tell me. Otherwise, I will ask and check it myself. I don't believe that no one in the huge Chang'an City knows about it!" Luo Zhang said firmly.
"Oh, so what if you know? It's just more trouble." The old lady sighed.
"Grandma, I am a member of the Luo family. I have the right to know everything. Please tell me!" Luo Zhang stared at the old lady.
The old lady sighed again and ordered to the women: "You take your children and go out first. I have something to say to Luo Zhang!"
The women looked at each other, stood up and left with their children.
Seeing this, Luo Zhang didn't urge him anymore and quietly waited for his grandma to tell him.
The old lady's expression was uncertain. Sometimes she gritted her teeth, and sometimes she looked angry. She took a few deep breaths and then slowly said, "Do you know how your father died?"
Luo Zhang knew about this period of history. When Luo Cheng fought with Liu Heitai, he was exhausted and wanted to escape into the city. But who knew that Li Yuanji in the city ordered not to open the city gate, so Luo Cheng had no choice but to escape, but Liu Hei was hit. Heita was ambushed and was eventually pierced by thousands of arrows and died.
Luo Zhang nodded to express his understanding.
"No, you don't know, what you know is not the truth!" the old lady said bitterly.
"What! Not the truth? Wasn't my father killed by Liu Heitai?" Luo Zhang stood up abruptly, his eyes full of shock. He was really surprised by the old lady's words.
"Your father was indeed killed by Liu Heitai, but the real murderer was not Liu Heitai or Li Yuanji!"
"Who is that?" Luo Zhang asked hurriedly.
"It's Changsun Wuji!"
"It's him? It's actually him? How could it be him?" Luo Zhang murmured, seemingly unable to accept this statement.
"Back then, your father went out to fight in the city. When he was exhausted, he wanted to return to the city to rest. Li Yuanji originally ordered the city to be opened, but Changsun Wuji said that if the city gates were opened and the enemy took advantage of the situation to attack, the city would definitely be in danger."
"Li Yuanji was greedy for life and afraid of death. He listened to Changsun Wuji's words and did not open the city gate. In the end, your father fell into the trap and was shot to death by random arrows!" the old lady said through gritted teeth.
Changsun Wuji, the great Yin man of the ages, is not called this name for nothing. Luo Cheng was actually killed by his words. If he had not come to the Tang Dynasty and became Luo Cheng's son, no one would have thought of it. This is how Luo Cheng died.
Taking a few deep breaths, Luo Zhang sat down slowly, his face gloomy. It was not that he had any feelings for Luo Cheng, but that he thought of a question. Now that grandma has told Zhangsun Wuji, what will happen to the Luo family now? It must have something to do with him, and he is Luo Cheng's son. Changsun Wuji would not let him go in order to eradicate the roots.
In order to confirm what he was thinking, Luo Zhang asked: "Are those uncles of mine also killed by Changsun Wuji?"
The old lady nodded painfully. Although she didn't say much, it was enough.
It is indeed Changsun Wuji who caused the Luo family to become like this.
Luo Zhang has no feelings for Luo Cheng or even those uncles, but for grandma, Luo Zhang can't ignore my feelings.
Luo Zhang could feel his grandma's love for him. For his own sake and his grandma's sake, he couldn't help but have a fight with Changsun Wuji.
Seeing that Luo Zhang was silent, the old lady took Luo Zhang's hand and said, "Zhang'er, you are the only male of the Luo family and the only hope of the Luo family. You can't let anything happen to you again!"
"Grandma, this is not something we want to do without getting into trouble. You should also understand that even if we don't go to trouble Changsun Wuji, we are afraid that he will find ways to harm me. My uncles are the best Example!" Luo Zhang analyzed calmly.
"Then what are you going to do? Changsun Wuji is not that easy to deal with! If it doesn't work, don't force yourself. If we live and work in peace and contentment and don't provoke him, I think he won't trouble us!" the old lady consoled her. She has a grandchild. If she has another grandchild, how can she survive?
"Grandma, don't worry. My grandson will not be reckless. I will listen to my uncle, practice martial arts well, perform well in the martial arts exam next month, and strive to be appreciated by His Majesty. The stronger I am, the grandson Wuji You don’t dare to attack me!” Luo Zhang said firmly.
"Since you have your own idea, then go for it, but grandma has a request."
"Grandma, what do you want?" Luo Zhang asked confused.
"If you want to take revenge, you must first marry me and have children, and give me a grandson first, otherwise you can't even think about it!" the old lady snorted.
"Ah, this...that...grandma, I don't want to have children just because I want to. It takes time, and besides, I don't even have a wife yet!" Luo Zhang couldn't laugh or cry. He didn't expect it. The old lady would make such a request, acting as if he was bound to die, and she wanted to give the Luo family a heir first.
"Hasn't His Majesty already promised the princess to you? Just try to marry her as soon as possible." The old lady said with reason.
"Princess? Grandma, the princess is not easy to take care of. How about we change her?"
Marry Gao Yang? Are you kidding me, marrying her is better than marrying a virtuous man who won't cuckold him!
"What's wrong with marrying a princess? If you give birth to a child, even Changsun Wuji won't dare to do anything to your child, otherwise His Majesty will not spare him!" The old lady said with a smile, as if she had already thought of this. Just say it to Luo Zhang now.
After hearing this, Luo Zhang was about to give the old lady a thumbs up. As the saying goes, having an old man in a family is like having a treasure. The ancients did not deceive me, but the old lady thought more deeply than he did.
Just when Luo Zhang was about to say something else, outside the door, the fourth aunt ran in in a panic.
"Mother, someone from the palace is looking for Luo Zhang!"
"Someone from the palace is looking for me?" Luo Zhang raised his eyebrows. He couldn't understand why someone from the palace was looking for him in the middle of the night. Could it be that Gao Yang had really convinced His Majesty that he was here to deliver the decree to terminate the engagement? Bar?
That's a good relationship. If Gao Yang really does it, he might even thank her very much!
Not everyone can afford the green grassland, so it is more appropriate for Fang Jun to wear this hat!
