Chapter 390: The Ministers Oppose
The next day, in the court, some people stood up against Dongfang Luo's direct knighthood to the Li family yesterday: "Your Majesty, the Li family has not made any great contributions, and the advantages of being knighted directly are not in accordance with the rules!" It was Cheng Xueyuan who spoke. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Originally, because he wanted to marry his daughter Cheng Linlin to Dongfang Ye, for all the people who were close to Dongfang Ye, they were his enemies, and the Li family was just a small farmer, and it was unbearable to come to spoil his good deeds. So after the last dynasty, he took the lead in opposing it.
"The minister seconded the proposal, this is unreasonable, and it is not in line with the rules of the ancestors!" A group of old scholars followed Cheng Xueyuan to play, thinking about various reasons, Dongfang Luo was very bored.
"I don't think there's anything unreasonable, the Li family invented red bricks to keep thousands of people in Tanglin away from suffering, have you done it? Did you help? Also, there is this heating, I don't know who has not used the heating, you can stand up! ā
Looking at the people below, Dongfang Luo was very bored, all day long, this kind of rules and regulations, that is, you can't do anything practical, there is really something, all kinds of shirks, or mud, they are all a bunch of waste, and they can't see others well.
"Emperor Qiqi, the ancestors have always stipulated that only those who have military merits can be knighted, and none of the Li family can be crowned, since the founding of the country, I have never made such an exception to be knighted, and I beg Your Majesty to take back your life!"
"I beg Your Majesty to take back your order!" The opposing ministers knelt at the same time.
As for some people, they don't oppose or support, they maintain a wait-and-see attitude, to be honest, the Li family has nothing to do with them, and only those who have ghosts in their hearts will always oppose it.
"Can't you understand what I'm saying? As long as someone can be like the Li family, show their own strength, and make the same thing as the Li family's red bricks, which is of good quality and low price, so that every common person can use it, and can resist the cold and ice and snow in winter, I will also give you a title. ā
As soon as Dongfang Luo's voice fell, the people below didn't dare to speak, if they could have a good way, wouldn't they say it until now? Don't submit it sloppily and compete for fame and fortune for yourself.
"Also, don't say that you don't need heating, this is also someone's invention, if people don't say it, can you enjoy it today? Can you survive the winter warmly? ā
Dongfang Luo just can't look down on these people himself, and he can't look down on others, don't think he doesn't know, since the palace was heated, which of those adults didn't pay a high price to follow suit, now? People who don't remember this invention when they run out.
The ministers were silent, it was really unreasonable for them, but looking at Cheng Xueyuan's face, they couldn't get along with the Li family, they were all from Cheng Xueyuan's side, so they naturally echoed him.
But looking at the emperor's attitude, it is impossible to change, not to mention that as the Ninth Five-Year Honor, it is impossible to take back the fate, these people are also under the leadership of Cheng Xueyuan, they can't get out of their hearts, and they stand up silently at this time and return to their positions.
"Okay, let's retreat from the dynasty if there's nothing to do, and when you find fault with others, it's better to think of more ways to make the people live a little better." Dongfang Luo brushed his sleeves away.
These old horsemen all rely on a little bit of qualifications, either they don't like this or they don't look good, they don't dislike this young man or they don't agree with reason, but they don't know that many young people are people he has installed, how can the emperor tolerate others to question them.
The people who had just stood up to oppose saw that the emperor was really angry, and they all gathered around: "Lord Cheng, what can I do about this?" ā
"That's right, Master Cheng, you have to help everyone think of a way!" Usually, these people are looking forward to Cheng Xueyuan, so they naturally look for him to get ideas at this time.
"It's okay, you go back first, the emperor is angry for a while." Cheng Xueyuan couldn't hang up on his face, those opponents didn't know what to think of him in their hearts, and they were not in the mood to deal with these people. After a few simple words, he left.
Along the way, my heart was on fire, "Hmph! This Li family, why? Cheng Xueyuan was angry in the study.
"Master, what's wrong with you?" Mrs. Cheng came in with Tang Gu, looked at Cheng Xueyuan's appearance, and asked with concern: "Let's see if the concubine can help me think of a way." ā
"It's not the Li family, a broken family in the countryside, the emperor actually knighted them, this is not counted, I brought it up in the early dynasty, and the emperor actually scolded us." Cheng Xueyuan basically tells Mrs. Cheng about everything, which shows that the relationship between the two is good.
"Okay, sir, don't be angry, because such a person is not worth it."
"Alas! You don't know, I actually want to marry Linlin to the prince, this is not the prince for so many years, let alone my princess, even if there is no concubine in the room, Linlin will not suffer if she marries. ā
"But sir, what do these two things have to do with each other?" Mrs. Cheng felt that what Cheng Xueyuan thought was also reasonable, although the night prince was older, but it didn't matter, such a person was more single-minded, and he would not make a house with a concubine, and he would be happy if he married such a person.
What's more, in this way, they can be regarded as relatives of the emperor, and their status has improved by more than one section, with the strength of the Night Prince, other officials of the same rank cannot be compared with them at all.
"Madam, you don't know, the bad is bad in this Li family, I don't know how to do it, I have a good relationship with the prince, especially a girl in their family, who behaves closely with the prince, and the prince is fascinated by them." Cheng Xueyuan hated the news from the investigation when he thought about it.
Why didn't he know how to seize the opportunity earlier, so that he would be the prince's father-in-law, and which round would get such a kick from the Li family.
"In the end, this is from a small family, and you know how to hook people at a young age, it's really shameless and skinless!" Mrs. Cheng wanted to spit out directly, which ruined her good deeds.
"What's the use of saying this, the emperor is obviously trying to elevate the identity of the Li family, and he angrily reprimanded us today for them, what's wrong with our Linlin? He is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he is beautiful and has a good personality. ā
In the eyes of the husband and wife, their daughter is the best, the Li family is the one who intervenes, Li Hui spoils their good deeds, otherwise the prince will be their son-in-law.
If the Li family and the Dongfang Luo brothers knew Cheng Xueyuan's thoughts, I don't know if they would spray directly, how could there be such a person who put gold on his face, is there such a narcissist? It's as if the whole world is going to revolve around them, and it's too superior.
No matter what these people think, they will not change Dongfang Ye's thoughts, not to mention, he has never been moved by women other than Li Hui, and other people's thoughts have nothing to do with him.
On the Li family's side, if nothing else, the matter between Li Hui and Dongfang Ye is settled, but how many are older than Li Hui? Li Xiu had already passed last year, and there were many people who came to propose marriage, but they were all rejected.
When I arrived in the capital, no one was familiar with it at first, and no one came to propose marriage, but this time it was different, a Cheng Enbo who was born out of nowhere, made everyone fall through the glasses.
Especially the remarks in the court, it can be seen that the emperor values the Li family very much, and at this time, some people's minds began to be active, and they smartly felt that the Li family might be a rising upstart in the capital, but they should seize the opportunity.
Even if it doesn't rise in the end, it doesn't matter, there are a lot of concubines and concubines in the family, and any one of them can be used for marriage, there is no pity.
This is what most people think, which official in the capital does not have a few concubines, there are not a few concubines and concubines, when they reach the marriageable age, daughters are used to marry with big families, boys have a good life, and if they are not productive, they will abandon their children and raise one more person.
Not the next day, several matchmakers came to the door: "Oh, this is Chengenbo Mansion, it's really exquisite, haha!" "The colorful matchmaker came to the door.
"I wonder what you're here for?" It was the Hu family who greeted him, and now the Niu family is also a high-ranking lady, so he will not go out to greet such a guest.
"Congratulations, congratulations, you don't know, someone asked me to propose, this is a great thing! You see that you were rewarded just two days ago, and you have broken through the threshold in the past two days, so you don't have to worry about it now! The matchmaker shook her handkerchief and looked around at Li's house.
Doesn't it mean that the Li family is a small family? Even if you have a knighthood, you still can't get rid of the petty family? Before she came, the matchmaker was still very disdainful, thinking that she was all talking to the officials in the capital, and she didn't look down on people like the Li family at all.
But it's obviously different, the Li family is very delicate everywhere, it's not worse than the mansions of those officials, this originally had a mansion, but the Li family didn't want it, it's already very good here, and the emperor has exchanged other rewards.
Don't look at the courtyard of Sanjin is not big compared to other officials, but the matchmaker is also knowledgeable, every item here is a fine product, something that money can't buy, and at this time he was suspicious of the many speculations outside, and the Li family is also a family with a background.
"This matchmaker, I just don't know which child in my family you are talking to?" The Li family currently has no good friends, and they can't think of anyone who will come to propose marriage, the key is that this matchmaker has always been out of the question, and her eyes are dripping to see things at home, which makes the Hu family very disliked.
"Hey, your family's luck is also good, isn't this the criminal department's squire Yue's family who has taken a fancy to your girl, just ask me to talk about it, don't you know, this squire is a good second-class, a real official, if you want me to say, this squire's son is handsome, your girl is handsome, and it is a suitable family affair."
The matchmaker blew the sky here, praising the son of the Shilang family of the Criminal Department as nothing in the sky and on the earth, the Li family quickly agreed, if you don't agree, it will be no vision.
"Mrs. Li, you can't hesitate, how many people are begging to marry such a good son? Being able to take a fancy to your daughter's daughter is also a fate made in heaven, don't you say? ā
Hu Shi was very embarrassed, how could he not give anyone else a little time to think: "Matchmaker, look, we don't know any waiters or waiters, and we don't understand, in this way, which son of his family are you talking about?" We'll have to find out. ā
"Hehe, this is how it should be, I'm talking about the second son of their family this time, don't look at it as a concubine, but it's very literate, the person looks good, and the person Yue is not partial, it's the same for several children, if the girl marries, she won't suffer."
Speaking of which, the matchmaker was a little embarrassed to say, although she was a second-grade official, but who in the capital didn't know that Lord Yue's house was the most chaotic, and the backyard was in a mess, not to mention the second son, the seventh son and the eighth prince were all there, maybe this Yue Shilang didn't know which one was which.
As for the second son, he looks good, but he is just a gentleman, he is idle all day long, he is eighteen years old this year, and no one is willing to marry him.
Regardless of this concubine, it was a big push, not because the Li family didn't understand the situation when they first came to the capital, so Lord Yue hurriedly asked the matchmaker to come to the Li family to say goodbye.
In order to prevent the Li family from discovering the clues, she has been taking care of the left and right, but Yue Shilang said that if this family matter is done, give her a reward of 100 taels of silver, and the matchmaker will do her best to help fulfill the lie.
It can be regarded as a bit of a conscience for this matchmaker, and she didn't open her eyes and tell nonsense.
When the Hu family saw her eating in a pit, they felt that something was wrong, not to mention, their Li family did not have the rule of marrying off a girl without inquiring clearly.
"I'm really sorry for you to make a trip, so how about giving us a little time and we'll consider giving you a reply?" Until now, Hu didn't know which girl to kiss.
Li Hui is impossible, there is a prince, so only Li Xiu is left, although she is not her daughter, but she also hurts as much as her daughter, and Li Xiu's family affairs are also a major matter in the family.
When the matchmaker chatted with Hu, she was also full of food and drink, but Hu disagreed, so she had to leave first.
"What's the matter, old man?" Niu came out from behind and asked.
In fact, Hu and the matchmaker didn't talk for a long time, so the matchmaker didn't meet Niu, in fact, the matchmaker didn't want to see Niu, so she had to salute when she saw someone, she didn't like it.
What's more, the Li family can't compare with those mansions with real power.
"Mother, I'm here to say goodbye to Xiu'er, I didn't agree that I want to discuss and discuss with the big guy, discuss and discuss, don't we have to inquire about it!" Hu said with a smile.
Not only are there many people who say hello to Li Xiu, but there are also many people who say hello to Li Yujin's brothers, and the Hu family has been receiving matchmakers in the past few days, one after another.
"It's to inquire carefully, we can't be sloppy about the children's big things, we will let people inquire one by one, we can't directly reject people, and the children are not small."
"Yes, mother, it's time to say kiss one by one, don't worry, as long as it's a matchmaker who has come, I have written down the name, and we'll inquire one by one when we go back."
"We don't want any big families, ordinary people can do it, as long as the children are happy." The Niu family is also a very enlightened old man, and everyone in the Li family thinks the same way. (To be continued.) )
