Chapter 941: prince divorce
Chapter 941 The prince divorced his wife
There are people coming and going on the street.
The night market in Pingkangfang is the busiest place in Chang'an at night. In a tea house facing the street in a commercial pedestrian street where cars and horses are prohibited.
Prince Chengqian looked a little haggard.
Qin Lang was very surprised to see him like this, which was even more surprising than the prince's private invitation to meet him here.
The teacup in front of the prince was freshly brewed tea, worth ten gold per brew, full of fragrance, but the prince was absent-minded, not even interested in picking up the teacup.
Qin Lang saw these things in his eyes, but he didn't rush to speak. He continued to make tea gracefully. After a long time, the young prince couldn't bear it anymore, "Please Sanlang help me."
The sunny and handsome Cheng Qian disappeared.
"Did your Highness encounter any trouble?"
He handed the teacup to Chengqian, but he didn't want to drink tea at all, "I want to divorce Su."
It was amazing news, but Qin Lang was not too surprised, he continued to drink tea. Chengqian stared at him closely, waiting for his reply, but Qin Lang didn't speak for a long time, so he could only continue on his own, "Sanlang?"
"Your Highness, be careful. Regarding the Crown Princess, didn't Your Highness have a discussion with the minister before?"
When Qin Lang was in Lingnan, Chengqian sent his confidantes to and from Lingnan more than once to meet Qin Lang with messages, and most of them talked about the Crown Princess Su Shi. Because the matter was too confidential, Qin Lang didn't want to leave any black and white paper, and only let his confidantes pass on the word.
Chengqian told him very clearly that he hates Su Shi, thinks Su Shi is fake, and he is not good-looking, especially he has no interest at all. In short, the prince has no feelings for her, so serious that the two of them lie on the same bed There will be no impulse.
Qin Lang also had a long-standing attitude towards this matter. He advised Cheng Qian to think carefully. After all, this Su family is also a famous family. The martial arts Su family is also a first-class noble family in Guanlong. Not to mention her great-grandfather Su Wei was once the prime minister of the Sui Dynasty and the two dynasties. In other words, the Su Xu brothers were also celebrities in the dynasty. Uncle Su Xu was the son-in-law of the great ancestor Princess Nanchang, one of the eighteen scholars, and now he is the Sima of Wei Wangtai.
Father Su Quan is now an official worship secretary and young supervisor, and also a bachelor of the Imperial Academy.
The most important thing is that this marriage was appointed by the emperor.
"Has your Highness not figured it out yet?"
Cheng Qian shook his head.
"I originally thought that as long as I endured it, I could close my eyes and turn off the lights, and give birth to a son, but Su Shi couldn't have one."
This is the first time I have heard of it.
"Your Highness, are you sure?"
"The imperial doctor has already confirmed the diagnosis."
Qin Lang was very surprised, how could this be possible. "Your Highness, don't talk nonsense?"
"That Su family was as cold as a piece of ice, and she looked like a dead fish when she was on the couch. Once I wanted to have **** with her after drinking, but she bled a lot. Later, the imperial doctor checked and said that she seemed to be There is something flawed, born sterile."
"Can't heal?"
When Chengqian thought about what happened that night, he regretted it very much, and there is still a shadow, so after that, he didn't even want to see Su Shi.
I have neither feelings nor feelings, and I can’t even have children, so why keep it.
"His Royal Highness, if the Crown Princess is really born with a physical defect and can't bear children, she can't be blamed."
If you can't have children, you have to divorce your wife. This is scum.
But Chengqian thought this was a good opportunity for him to divorce the Su family, but what he didn't expect was that when he had the courage to propose to Li Shimin to divorce his wife, Li Shimin was furious.
Li Shimin even said that even if the Su family can't have a child, since he married the sect as his wife, it is impossible to divorce. So he took Li Xiang as his descendant.
"This is also a solution."
The queen is the official wife, and her son is very important to the royal family. However, there have been queens in many dynasties in history who did not give birth to sons, or were infertile. Generally, in this case, other concubines were born. The sons choose one to adopt under the name of the queen, and some even hand over several of them directly to the queen to be raised as their legitimate sons.
The feudal era was also a patriarchal society.
There is a difference between the concubine and the concubine, which is extremely important.
This is especially true for national dynasties and emperors and royal families, because this involves the core of the inheritance of the throne, and if it is not serious, it will lead to catastrophe.
The core of the patriarchal system is to establish a descendant but not a senior, and to establish a senior but not a virtuous.
This system also has certain irrationality. For example, between the elders and the virtuous, it is emphasized that only the elders can be established, and between the concubine and the concubine, only the concubine can be established. The legal orthodoxy of the inheritance of the throne is the eldest son, and the rest, no matter how capable they are, will not do.
Although this is unreasonable, in fact, this article is the most possible to ensure the stability of the imperial power.
Because the eldest son, there is a standard, there will be no disputes about who is the eldest son. But who is good and who is not is hard to say.
If the virtuous and the elders are not established, then the princes will definitely compete for the heirs, and eventually the court will be split and the country will be turbulent. In order to avoid this kind of internal fighting, it is required to use the elders as the succession standard.
Why is Li Shimin furious at Chengqian for abolishing the Su family, because Chengqian is challenging the patriarchal system.
"Why can't a barren woman divorce? There are seven ways to divorce a wife, isn't it just one?" Cheng Qian was still very unconvinced.
After finally finding an opportunity to get rid of Su Shi, he was unwilling to give up.
Qin Lang didn't pay much attention to Cheng Qian's chatter, he was thinking about another question.
"Your Highness has thought about who will be appointed as the crown princess if the Su family is really going to be lost?"
Chengqian didn't seem to expect Qin Lang to ask this question, he was taken aback for a while, hesitated for a while, and finally said, "I actually like Mrs. Pei very much, and she also gave birth to a son and a daughter for me, but Mrs. Pei's status is low, Your Majesty won't agree."
"Then what?" Qin Lang felt that he had discovered something.
Sure enough, Chengqian faltered for a while before saying a name, Hou Shi.
"I know that the relationship between Sanlang and Hou Chengong is not good, but there is no major conflict at first. I would like to find a chance to invite the two of you to sit down and talk together, which will also resolve the previous misunderstanding. In fact, Hou Chengong is not bad. "..." When Cheng Qian said this, he felt a little unnatural. Trying to explain something, Qin Lang just smiled.
"Your Highness seems to like Hou Shi very much?"
"Ms. Hou is gentle and virtuous, and she is already pregnant."
Chengqian Nahou Junji's daughter, this is what he also knew before, although it was a bit unexpected, but he couldn't control that much. Unexpectedly, Chengqian liked Hou so much.
Now it is actually necessary to make the Hou family the crown princess. When the Hou family enters the East Palace, she is regarded as a side concubine and has the title of Prince Liangdi, so it is possible to support the Hou family as the crown princess. This is different from the Pei family who is just a concubine. Possibly a crown princess, but Hou can.
"There is indeed no major conflict between the minister and Hou Junji, but in fact, it has no effect on His Highness. The relationship between us will not affect the relationship between His Highness and Hou Junji's father and daughter. If His Highness really wants to help the Hou family, it will be even more important with him." It has nothing to do with me, but I just want to remind His Highness that in the end, the consent of the sage is required, and the attitude of the sage now, I am afraid that he will not agree."
Chengqian sighed helplessly. This matter was just like what Qin Lang said. Li Shimin could see his thoughts clearly, and he had already made it clear that he would never allow it.
Things are stuck here.
Chengqian now hates Su Shi so much, he can't even tolerate Su Shi continuing to be the princess. In the matter of making the Hou family the Crown Princess, Qin Yu believed that the Hou family must have had a lot of pillow talk, and even Hou Junji probably participated in it a lot.
My daughter is now the Crown Prince Liangdi, just a side concubine, but Fuzheng will become the Crown Princess, and will be the queen in the future. He, Hou Junji, will be the son of heaven and the father-in-law of the country in the future. This is probably very tempting to Hou Junji.
Sanshui Hou Junji has always been despised by people, who think that he is not good at archery and doesn't know a lot of knowledge, but he can also enter the political affairs hall as a chancellor. He is simply a lucky villain. He is just the emperor's childhood playmate , After making some contributions to the change of Xuanwu Gate, you just do whatever you want?
Although Qin Lang was also called Xingjin, Qin Lang did have real skills, and this is where everyone was more convinced, but Hou Junji was not, so everyone looked down on Hou Junji, but a cavalry school It's just the captain's job.
"Please Sanlang for help." Cheng Qian gritted his teeth, showing a bit of pitifulness. "I really can't help it."
"What your Highness needs now is to go back to the East Palace to have a hot soup, and then have a good sleep, don't think about it."
"Is it because of Hou Junji that Sanlang refuses to help?"
"Your Highness misunderstood. This has nothing to do with Hou Junji. You need to be calm when you encounter major events. In the current situation, Your Highness needs to be calm even more. You can't be in a hurry. The more anxious you are, the more likely you are to make mistakes. Actually, the minister said something to be honest, even if Su It has nothing to do with being unable to have a son, isn't it a good thing for His Highness? His Highness has always hated Su Shi, and the saint asked His Highness to have a son with Su..."
Qin Lang felt that Chengqian was a bit childish now. He originally thought that he had gradually matured over the years, but who would have expected that he would be so naive in this matter, so he insisted on getting rid of Su Shi. Divorcing a wife is not a trivial matter for an ordinary family, not to mention that this is the family of an emperor, and he is also the heir of the country.
The Su family was personally selected by the emperor and empress. How long will it take to divorce his wife after just getting married?
The Su family is also a top gentry, is there such a slap in the face?
Bearing the name of Qianxian De Prince, how can he maintain it in the future?
"It's a coincidence that the Hou family is pregnant at this time." Qin Lang reminded Cheng Qian that it is the period of national mourning, and Cheng Qian, as the grandson of the great ancestor, must observe filial piety. It was conceived before the mourning period, but it was born during the mourning period.
Take the inner child, unfilial.
Chengqian still wants to divorce his wife in the service, which is even more unfilial.
The laws of the Tang Dynasty clearly stipulated that behaviors such as filial piety and the division of property between brothers are unfilial and must be sentenced.
Li Shimin committed the act of killing his brothers and imprisoning his father, so he clamored every day that the Tang Dynasty should be based on filial piety and rule the world with filial piety.
Chengqian is making such a fuss now, isn’t he just trying to die?
Li Yuan's bones are still cold, but you are here tossing about divorcing his wife.
Li Shimin's reaction was fairly restrained.
"Your Highness, the future is still long, why rush for a while?"
To put it simply, you can do everything according to Li Shimin's wishes now. Anyway, the Su family can't have a baby, so you can offer it in the East Palace, respect each other like a guest, and be polite on the surface. Anyway, if you can't have a baby, don't worry about it anymore. When you become the emperor yourself in the future, if you want to abolish the emperor and establish a new one, isn't it all up to you?
At that time, if you want to establish the Hou family or the Pei family, or what kind of Webster or Yang family, can Li Shimin get up from the ground and oppose it?
I don't know which tendon he has cramped, so he insists on pulling it up.
