Wen Yanhong was Wen Daya and the former Minister of Rites, but he died in the early years of Zhenguan.
He was a bachelor of the Wenlin Academy of the Northern Qi Dynasty. After entering the Sui Dynasty, he served as Sima of Sizhou. Seeing that the Sui Dynasty's government decrees were not up to standard, he asked for sick leave and returned home. Daya had a very filial temperament, and together with his younger brothers Dalin and Dayou, he was famous for his literature. People at the time said: "They are both gentle, refined and clear, and they are known for their time." At that time, the gentry who were famous for their literature and tutoring first recommended the Yan and Wen families. Yan was also recommended by Yan, and he also had three sons. At that time, they were known as the "Three Heroes of the Yan Family" and the "Three Heroes of the Wen Family", which shows that the descendants of the Yan and Wen families were all chosen at the same time.
The children of aristocratic families should not be outdone.
Afterwards, Wen Daya attached himself to his ancestor Li Yuan. From Taiyuan to the founding of the Tang Dynasty, from joining the army in the Record Office to becoming the Minister of Huangmen, Wen Daya devoted himself to participating in etiquette, advocating for secrets and busy government affairs, and relied on his outstanding talents. Li's talent, wisdom and strategy made great contributions to the Sui Dynasty.
In the later period of Wude, due to his outstanding political achievements, at the request of King Li Shimin of Qin, he was transferred to Daxingtai of Shaanxi Province and Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry.
Shaanxi Province has an important strategic position because it echoes the capital Chang'an from a distance and controls the internal and external affairs; and because Li Shimin is also in charge of the Xingtai Shangshu Order, Wen Daya, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, was inevitably involved in this political struggle. In June of the ninth year of Taketoku, he was ordered to guard Luoyang in the face of danger. He had full authority over the troops of the direct line of the King of Qin in Henan to stabilize the peripheral situation and form a tripartite force with the troops of the King of Qin's Palace in Chang'an.
At the same time, in order for Li Shimin to win, he made several secret plans and participated in formulating the strategy of forcibly seizing power.
After the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Wen was promoted to Minister of Rites for her meritorious service and received the title of Li Guogong.
When the Tang Dynasty was established, Wen Daya made great contributions.
Li Er ascended the throne, while Wen Daya stood firm and had the merit of following the dragon.
After Wen Daya died of illness in the early years of Zhenguan, His Majesty Li Er was grateful for his merits and blessed the Wen family. Many of the Wen family's children became officials.
Wen Wuyin was the youngest son of Wen Daya, the nephew of Wen Yanbo, a famous Prime Minister, Shangshu Youpushe, and Shangzhu Kingdom. He was young and talented, as gentle as jade, and indeed worthy of the noble status of Princess Changle.
Princess Changle's pretty face was slightly stunned. After a while, she said calmly in a low voice: "My son, I devote myself to cultivating Taoism. Regarding marriage, I can just follow my father's decision."
His Majesty Li Er sighed helplessly.
This girl always has such a careless attitude...
If you say you want to get married, she will say yes, and she will be obedient in words, but in reality she will be discouraged. She has never rejected his father's kindness, but anyone can see the grievances she has suffered.
But as we get older and older, we will eventually get married, right?
This time, His Majesty Li Er decided to be ruthless and ignore whether Princess Changle was willing or aggrieved. The gentlemen of the Wen family are all gathered together, and their children are all upright in appearance and noble in character. They are obsessed with learning and not interested in official careers. They have pure minds and honest conduct.
It is expected that he will not be as heartless and unrighteous as Changsun Chong.
Having made up his mind, he said: "My parents have ordered the matchmaker, so my father will make the decision for you in this matter. You don't have to worry too much. My father will definitely find you a husband of your choice."
Princess Changle's eyelids were drooped, and she was impeccable.
Princess Jinyang, on the other hand, tilted her head slightly to the side, her beautiful eyes sparkling, and asked curiously: "Could it be that the person my father is talking about is the 'Tiansha Lone Star'?"
His Majesty Li Er's hand stroking his beard suddenly froze.
Heavenly Evil...Lone Star? !
He hurriedly asked: "What does Sizi mean by this? Who is Tiansha Lone Star?"
Princess Changle also looked at Princess Jinyang curiously.
Princess Jinyang held His Majesty Li Er's arm and said in a clear voice: "The nun in Erchen's palace is from Qixian County, Bingzhou. She often mentioned Wen Yanhong's youngest son to Erchen, saying that he was 'Fu Zuo' Detailed, cashier Weiyun, a talented minister, has a high reputation in the local area. However, this person is hard-fought, and the marriage was arranged early, but when he was a teenager, his father died. After three years of mourning, the woman waited. However, the two families negotiated and canceled the marriage, and when the period of mourning was over, they negotiated another marriage. What a coincidence, the uncle who had just set the wedding date and raised and educated him died again. Originally, he was not required to observe mourning, but He regarded his uncle as his master and insisted on observing filial piety for three years. Finally, this time the period of filial piety was over, and another marriage was proposed. However, this time the woman fell ill and died... He kept delaying it again and again, and the child counted it. Forget it... I'm afraid Wen Wuyin is nearly 30 years old, right?"
His Majesty Li Er almost pulled off his beard and turned blue.
Mother!
Chu Suiliang, an old bastard, said that Wen Wuyin missed the wedding date because he kept filial piety, and canceled the marriage because he didn't want to delay the woman. In this way, the marriage was delayed, but he didn't say that Wen Wuyin actually kept filial piety twice, and talked about several marriages, and finally What a waste of time!
I don't know how much money the old man received from the Wen family, so he said all the good things for the Wen family. Fortunately, I thought he was loyal to the country, mature and prudent, but he turned out to be full of scheming and lawless!
Not to mention Wen Wuyin's talent and learning, how can he be worthy of being the apple of my eye with just this kind of fate?
Marrying Changle into the eldest grandson's family had already made her daughter suffer a lot of injustice. Is it possible that she will be made a widow this time?
His Majesty Li Er said angrily: "This is simply unreasonable! Chu Suiliang, an old man, dares to fool me like this? I must make him look good!"
The corner of Princess Changle's mouth twitched and she said nothing.
Princess Jinyang glanced at her sister and said, "If you want to laugh, just laugh. Look at how caring I am, sister. You know that other men will not like you if you have a brother-in-law..."
The two girls were silent, which made His Majesty Li Er very embarrassed.
Just now he was bragging about being a good man, but in the blink of an eye he became a "lone star". Where does this put his face as a father?
The annoyance towards Chu Suiliang surged in his heart, but he couldn't show it on his face, so he could only say: "My father has never sent anyone to inquire about this person's background. It was only Chu Suiliang who mentioned it. If this matter is determined When we come down, we will definitely send people to investigate and find out. Such stories must not be hidden... But since Si Zi has heard about it, I don’t think those nuns dared to arrange for others in the palace, so let’s let this matter go.”
Princess Jinyang interrupted: "Sister, don't worry, my father will definitely find you a husband you want!"
His Majesty Li Er's old face turned red with embarrassment, and he said displeasedly: "My father is also a mortal, so what's the big deal if I misbelieve someone else's words? Isn't this still in the investigation stage, and it hasn't led to a big mistake, so why be aggressive? Little girl wants to Be dignified and virtuous, don’t be sharp-tongued!”
He really can't get off the stage. It's just that the fact of "Tiansha Lone Star" was exposed to his face. You still have to keep saying, "I am the emperor, I want to save face!"
Princess Jinyang knows the difference best. When she saw her father being sulky, she smiled and spit out her sweet tongue. She obediently poured tea and water for His Majesty Li Er, and in a blink of an eye, she made His Majesty Li Er smile.
It's just that although Wen Wuyin can't become Princess Changle's consort, His Majesty Li Er still thinks that this person is good. Although his fate is not good, his character and talent are there. If he can't recruit him as his consort, it will always be a bit regretful and a kind of miss. Beautiful jade's sadness.
Then I thought that since she was not suitable for her appearance, would Princess Fangling be a good match?
Princess Fangling was his sister, and she must be respected by the royal family and nobles. Although her reputation had been checked a little, it was mostly because of Dou Fengjie, a weakling with no future, that made Princess Fangling impatient with the loneliness and Hongxing cheated on her, and Wen Wen Maybe Wuyin, a modest and gentlemanly man, can control Princess Fungling and make her live a life of obedience and wholeheartedness?
Let's go back and let the officials of Zongzheng Temple think of a way to talk about the Wen family's tone. If this can be done, it can be regarded as finding a good home for Princess Fangling...
*****
Prince Jing's Mansion.
Li Yuanjing was wearing regular clothes and kneeling on the floor. In front of him was the charming Dong Mingyue, and standing on one side with his head bowed was a leader of the Dong family's secret agents.
Dong Mingyue's hair is like clouds tied into a bun, with pearls and emerald rings all over her head. Her slender and fair neck is alluring. At this moment, she is boiling water and making tea with her bare hands. The green tea soup is poured into a white porcelain tea cup with a white background. Green soup, full of tea fragrance.
With her white bare hands, she gently pushed the teacup in front of Li Yuanjing and said softly: "Your Highness, please drink tea."
Li Yuanjing nodded slightly, picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and asked the spy leader on the side: "You mean, Changsun Chong was almost arrested on the spot by Jingzhao Mansion, but later Princess Changle interceded with Fang Jun. Then the Jingzhao Mansion was ordered to evacuate everyone, and Changsun Chong was released?"
The spy leader said: "Exactly."
Li Yuanjing narrowed his eyes slightly and took another sip of tea. He let the hot tea boil in his mouth and fully felt the sweetness contained in the bitterness. After a long while, he swallowed the tea and raised his voice and said: "Here comes someone. ! Quickly take my name card and go to the Qiu family to see Qiu Xinggong and tell him that the king invites him to taste the best autumn tea this autumn."
