One year, on the day of the birthday banquet of Guo Ziyi, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, Guo's house was decorated with lanterns, people came and went, and the traffic was full of joy. Suddenly, a message came: extra horse harnessed by the side of a team, Guo Nuan, had beaten Princess Shengping!
This is really daring! The Guo residence immediately exploded. Princess Shengping golden branch, is the Emperor Tang Daizong's heart meat, can hit? This is the crime of deceiving the king, if not, you will get killed or even the disaster of extermination.
Princess Shengping is Tang Daizong's favorite daughter, mother is Cui Guifei. And Cui Guifei's mother, Mrs. Korea Yang is Yang Guifei's sister, when Mrs. Korea had been favored with Yang Guifei in the Tang Emperor Xuanzong, Yang Guifei, also known as Princess Shengping's great-aunt. This kind of life, so that Princess Shengping since childhood, spoiled, arrogant and capricious.
The extra horse harnessed by the side of a team, Guo Zhiqi, was the sixth son of Guo Ziyi. Guo Ziyi was the vice marshal of the world's army and horses, and was named King of Fenyang County. His life through the Wu Zetian, Tang Zhongzong, Tang Ruizong, Tang Xuanzong, Tang Suzong, Tang Daizong six generations, from Tang Xuanzong has been three generations of generals, in the pacification of the Anshi Rebellion and the Tubo invasion in the neutralization of the great achievements, the world is tied to one of the said. Therefore, Emperor Tang Daizong gave Guo Ziyi an iron coupon (free from death), and painted a portrait of him in the Smoke Pavilion in recognition of his achievements in the rise of the Tang Dynasty, but also with him as a daughter's family. Having such a family background also made the young Guo Zhiwei proud and conceited.
Princess Shengping and Guo Zhiqi were 13 or 14 years old, and the early marriage did not make them mature. The two capricious people stay together, needle sharp, from time to time conflict. This is not in the Guo Fu busy birthday celebration time, the two people a word on the quarrel
Guo ambiguous said: "What are you proud of, rely on your father is the son of heaven? My father does not care to be the son of heaven!"
"Against, against!" Princess Shengping said furiously, "Under the sky, there is no place other than the king's land. Everything that your family has is bestowed by our family."
Guo ambiguous anger from the heart, gas from the brain hair, no matter what, "snap" palm on the shoulders of Princess Shengping. Princess Shengping froze for a moment, immediately "wow" cry out: "dog slave, how dare you hit me! I'll tell father to go." Said, rushed to the family ding ding drank a "on the sedan chair", huffing and puffing straight to the palace to go.
Guo Zhiwei calmed down, head clear, know this time in big trouble, rush to report to his father. Guo Zi Yi heard, head "buzz" a ringing: "you do not know the death of the rebellious son, this kind of treacherous words you also dare to say!" He said, yelling at the family guards, "Lock him up and wait for the Emperor's punishment."
Guo Ziyi immediately got into a sedan chair and hurried to see the emperor. He knows very well that "accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger", although he has made great achievements in battle, but also has the emperor's "death card", but the dragon's face angry, as usual, will turn his face.
Tang Daizong listened to the Princess cries, the beginning of the pain and anger, but calmly think, several times in the situation when the crisis, are Guo Ziyi save the day, only to stabilize the Tang dynasty. Now Guo Ziyi although the power of the dynasty, but has always been loyal, never proud of their achievements. He could not let his children's triviality affect the overall situation. Therefore, Emperor Tang Daizong enlightened Princess Shengping, saying: "It is true that his father did not like to be the emperor, otherwise, the world would not be your father's. In the future, you have to be more easy-going, and you should not be too proud of yourself. In the future, you should be more easy-going and not be capricious."
After some comforting persuasion, Tang Daizong let the princess return to the Guo family. When Guo Ziyi came to the court to apologize, Tang Daizong said lightly, "As the saying goes, 'If you're not stupid or deaf, you can't be a family official.' Children's boudoir trivia, can not be taken seriously, the oldest human rights as deaf, when did not hear this matter forget." Guo Zi Yi thanked the emperor, after returning home, or the son of the counting, beat him up, let him long memory. After such a toss, the two seem to grow up to understand, each convergence of the temperament and good.
This was just a family storm, but after spreading the word has become a topic of great interest, and later became the material for a variety of plays, such as "playing the Golden Bough", "drunkenly playing the Golden Bough" and so on.
