Of course, there is no need to say these words to Empress Changsun.
Empress Changsun pondered for a moment.
".~Your Majesty talked about it, but what he actually meant was that he agreed to marry Yang Yi."
"Because of the marriage between Tang and Zhou, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages."
"But Yang Yi also has to think of a way to save Datang's face."
"The marriage between the Tang Dynasty and the Zhou Kingdom without losing face is what His Majesty would like to see the most."
Li Shimin nodded.
"Of course!"
Empress Changsun's eyes flickered, and she suddenly said: "Your Majesty keeps saying that Yang Yi must be able to find a way to get the best of both worlds, otherwise he just doesn't love Gao Yang and Li Zhi..."
"Your Majesty is so sure because His Majesty has already thought of this best-of-both-worlds solution?"
Li Shimin was startled.
He laughed.
"The one who knows me is the servant girl of Guanyin."
"That's right, I've already thought of a way to barely take care of Datang's face."
"Yang Yi is smarter than me, only if he is willing or not, there is no question of whether he wants to or not!!"
Empress Changsun pondered: "What does His Majesty mean when you say the method of getting the best of both worlds?"
Li Shimin smiled.
"Don't tell me, what if you tell your two daughters?"
"They're turning their elbows to Yang Yi!"
He felt a little helpless.
If it wasn't for the reputations of Li Zhi and Gao Yang who had already been entangled with Yang Yi, why would he hold his nose to admit it?
But as long as Yang Yi married his (Nuomahao) two daughters back to Zhou State according to the best-of-both-worlds method.
It can barely be regarded as wrong and wrong, killing three birds with one stone.
.........
The next day.
Empress Changsun quickly expressed Li Shimin's wish to Gao Yang and Li Lizhi tactfully.
The two girls were overjoyed, and hurriedly wrote a letter and sent someone to Luoyang.
Although they couldn't understand what the father said, they also knew that this was an excellent opportunity.
In any case, they are caught between their parents and their lovers, in a dilemma.
If there is a solution, that would be great.
As for whether you can come up with a way to get the best of both worlds?
They are not worried at all.
In their eyes, Brother Yang is omnipotent.
..........
Three days later.
The letter from Gao Yang and Li Lizhi arrived in Yang Yi's hands.
Inside the study.
After Yang Yi finished reading, his expression was a little strange.
He already understood what Li Shimin meant.
This is to take advantage of the marriage between the two countries and to save face.
Of course, there is no lack of love for her daughter.
He rubbed between his brows.
"It's not difficult, but I just don't know what attitude Mei Niang will have..."
He pondered for a moment, put away the letter, then left the mansion, boarded the carriage and rushed to Ziwei Palace.
[209] Empress' displeasure!This is an inch!The idea of multiple concubines proposed by Yang Yi!
After half an hour.
Purple Palace.
"Oh?" Wu Zhao looked at Yang Yi with a half-smile, "My husband is here to test my tone?"
Yang Yi had just informed Wu Zhao of Li Shimin's intentions.
Whether it is Wu Zhao's status as empress or wife, Wu Zhao has to know about this matter.
Yang Yi smiled.
"It's not all. This matter is both emotional and reasonable, and we have to discuss it with Meiniang."
Wu Zhao sneered.
"What if I don't agree?"
Yang Yi looked calm.
"Then I will reject Li Shimin..."
"Oh?" Wu Zhao raised her phoenix eyebrows, "Aren't you afraid that your two little beauties will be sad?"
Yang Yi looked serious.
"Meiniang is the most important thing in my heart."
Of course you can't be serious with the Empress at this time, coax her first.
Wu Zhao snorted softly, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Of course she knew that what Yang Yi said was to coax her.
But women like to hear these words, even if they are false.
She pursed her lips and said slowly: "There is nothing wrong with this matter. Since Li Shimin is willing, I have no objection."
"Tang and Zhou are married, and the relationship is closer. This is a good thing."
"Da Zhou also needs strong allies."
"Besides, you won't suffer if he marries his daughter here." 960
"Besides, I even agreed with Huang Jie, so why do I disagree with these two who came to call my sister?"
Wu Zhao looked at him with a half-smile.
"To make two princesses of one country fall in love with you, doesn't it mean that you are very attractive and I have good eyesight?"
Yang Yi: "......"
For a while, I couldn't figure out whether the empress was telling the truth or a lie.
He said calmly: "The marriage between the two countries is indeed of great benefit to Da Zhou."
Wu Zhao snorted softly when he saw that he was avoiding the serious and taking the light.
"Looking at you like this, you should have already thought of a way to allow Li Shimin to accept it reluctantly, and to marry the two countries..."
"Tell me about it, and let me see what His Royal Highness King Wei can do for those two beauties?"
The corner of Yang Yi's mouth twitched.
He smiled and said, "Actually, it's very simple. Has Mei Niang ever heard the term 'Ping Wife'?"
Wu Zhao was taken aback.
She pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "This seems to be a title that was once circulated in the Qing Dynasty..."
"Not bad." Yang Yi nodded.
He smiled and said: "The laws of my Great Zhou Dynasty are similar to those of Tang and Ming Dynasty. Anyone's wife can only be an official wife."
"Except for the main wife, all of them are concubines."
"The so-called concubines and concubines are both another name for a concubine, or they have a slightly higher status, and there is not much difference."
"In the Qing Dynasty, there was a saying of flat wives, whose status was second only to that of regular wives and higher than that of concubines."
"Although flat wives are essentially concubines, they are much better than concubines."
"Of course, this kind of statement is only in the Qing Dynasty, and it is not accepted by everyone."
Wu Zhao was thoughtful.
"Are you trying to let Li Shimin accept you as an equal wife?"
"A princess can't be a concubine, but it's not impossible to be a flat wife?"
Yang Yi smiled.
"It's not that I want him to accept it, but that Li Shimin has already thought of this, so he asked me to come up with a way to get the best of both worlds."
Wu Zhao was stunned.
"So that's the case. It seems that you two, Weng and son-in-law, have already had a tacit understanding."
Yang Yi sweated.
Wu Zhao pondered for a moment.
"But there is no such thing as a flat wife in my big week..."
Yang Yi smiled.
"Then change the law..."
【Ding!Mood value +200]
Wu Zhao snorted coldly.
"To change the law for the sake of two women, His Royal Highness Wei Wang is really a romantic!"
The corner of Yang Yi's mouth twitched.
Agreed, do you disagree?
Are you jealous?
He put his hand on the empress' fragrant shoulder with a serious face.
"Meiniang, I am not for two women, but for the marriage between the two countries, so that the relationship will go further!"
【Ding!Mood value +200]
Wu Zhao sneered: "Smart words!"
Yang Yi: "......"
He was a little helpless: "If the law is not changed, how can the title of 'equal wife' appear out of thin air?"
Wu Zhao glared at him.
"Have you ever thought about how changing the law and adding the title of 'equal wife' will affect my Da Zhou?"
Originally, only one official wife can suppress the rest of the concubines, and concubines have no place in the law* at all.
Compared with concubines, ordinary wives are not much higher.
But since Yang Yi wants to amend the law, he will give the two princesses the status of equal wives.
The status of the "equivalent wife" in the Great Zhou Dynasty will inevitably catch up with the regular wife, far higher than the concubine.
This is the inevitable result.
After all, princesses are all flat wives, how low can the status of flat wives be?
