Chapter 152: Recruiting relatives in martial arts
Li Shimin's courtship made the corners of Kong Yingda's old man's mouth twitch.
Secretly scolded Li Shimin for being despicable and shameless!
The old man came to sue the royal court this time, just to sue the king of Shu for smashing the gate of my house and destroying my granddaughter's marriage.
The emperor is good, but instead of punishing the king of Shu, he is now asking me to kiss?
If I agree to the King of Shu's request for marriage, will it still be to the point of suing the emperor?
Kong Yingda said with a dark face: "Your Majesty, the granddaughter of the old minister, has a marriage contract with the Lu family. How can Your Majesty be strong? ”
Li Shimin said: "Kong Aiqing, you two families, isn't the marriage ceremony not yet complete!" ”
"Besides, if you are so stunned, will your marriage ceremony continue?"
"Since Su'er ruined a good relationship with Xintong, why should he make amends, what do you think?"
Kong Yingda gritted his teeth and said: "The old minister is difficult to obey. ”
Li Shimin sighed and said, "Kong Aiqing, you and I both know it. ”
"Su'er and Xintong, they are in love, why do you have to break them up?"
Hearing Li Shimin's words, Kong Yingda couldn't help but be silent for a while.
Actually, Kong Yingda, the old man, still admires the King of Shu.
If the King of Shu was not the prince, Kong Yingda would really not object to this family business.
But the king of Shu is a prince.
The risk of letting Xintong marry the King of Shu is too great.
In the future, it is not only possible for Xintong to lose her life.
It may even affect the Kong family.
How could Kong Yingda allow this to happen?
And Li Shimin saw Kong Yingda silent for a long time.
In fact, I also guessed Kong Yingda's thoughts.
However, Li Shimin's thoughts are diametrically opposed to Kong Yingda.
Some time ago, Li Su and Cheng Shengnan walked very closely.
If it weren't for Cheng Yanjin's interference, Cheng Shengnan would have served in Yizhou.
Maybe between the two, something has already come out.
Compared with Cheng Shengnan, Li Shimin hopes that Li Su will marry Kong Xintong.
Because Cheng Shengnan is Cheng Yanjin's daughter.
Marrying Cheng Shengnan means that Cheng Biting Jin will fall to the side of the King of Shu.
Even not only Cheng Biting Jin, even Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong are likely to support the King of Shu.
And this is not conducive to the stability of the imperial court, which Li Shimin does not want to see.
At present, Li Shimin is still inclined to pass the throne to the crown prince.
Once the power of the King of Shu increases greatly, it is very likely to cause turmoil.
Li Shimin himself has already done a thing of killing his brother and forcing his father.
And he didn't want to go through something like this again.
Therefore, in Li Shimin's opinion, it is better to let Su'er marry the girl of the Kong family.
Therefore, Li Shimin tried his best to match here.
But now, the old man Kong Yingda didn't even say yes and didn't want to agree.
This couldn't help but make Li Shimin frown.
However, this matter is not easy to force.
Therefore, after Li Shimin pondered for a while, he couldn't help but say to Kong Yingda: "Kong Aiqing, you and I are both parents, and we must also consider the feelings of our children and grandchildren!" ”
"Do you think that's good? How about you give both sides a chance to play fair? ”
Kong Yingda glanced at Li Shimin deeply and forcibly swallowed a breath of anger.
What else can he do when he encounters this shameless father and son? He's also helpless?
If he continues to marry the Lu family, then that bastard Li Su will definitely send someone to beat people.
And Li Shimin is more likely to make a will and directly engage in a marriage.
When the time comes, he still has to obediently receive the order of thanksgiving?
Can he still resist and disobey the order?
This father and son are bullying themselves.
Therefore, Kong Yingda could only grit his back molars helplessly and said: "Which minister will hold a competition to recruit relatives." ”
"The minister will personally come up with three questions - no, five questions, three wins in five games. Whoever wins in the end can marry the granddaughter of the old minister. ”
"I don't know this way, what does Your Majesty think?"
Li Shimin laughed and said: "This method is good, this method is good!" ”
"It's so lively, when the time comes, I will definitely go, haha!"
This matter was settled.
The reason why Kong Yingda temporarily changed the principle of the three questions.
just thought that Kong Yingda suddenly felt that the three questions were not safe.
This King of Shu knows a lot of things.
Kong Yingda is pondering what topic to come up with, so that the king of Shu can win.
Well, the point is that he doesn't know what talent the Lu family kid has.
Looks like I need to talk to them a bit.
And Li Shimin is still very confident in Li Su.
I've given you enough opportunities.
That's all I can help, and the rest is up to you.
……
Soon, the news that the Kong family was going to try to recruit relatives spread out.
Let the whole Chang'an City be lively again.
Trying to recruit relatives, this kind of thing is still very lively, and it is rare to see.
To say that the competition in history to recruit relatives, the most bullish and most creative, really has a lot to do with Li Shimin's family.
Dou Yi, the general of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, wanted to find a fast son-in-law who rode the dragon, but he didn't want his daughter to marry a mediocre man.
So he came up with a brilliant way to recruit a son-in-law.
That is, Dou Yi drew a peacock on the screen.
He decided in his heart that whoever could shoot the peacock in both eyes would marry his daughter.
As a result, the young talents who came to prepare to recruit relatives were a little worse in archery, and no one could meet Dou Yi's requirements.
This made Dou Yi very disappointed.
And at this moment, Tang Taizong Li Yuan made his debut.
Of course, Li Yuan at this time was not the emperor of later generations, and he was only a young general in the army at that time.
But he couldn't stand Li Yuan's archery like a god, and he brushed a few arrows past, hitting the peacock's two eyes.
Seeing this situation, Dou Yi couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly recruited Li Yuan as his son-in-law.
This son-in-law is probably the best son-in-law recruited in ancient martial arts competitions.
This story is also known as idioms such as the choice of the bird's screen, the selection of the bird's screen, and the shooting of the bird in the brocade screen.
In ancient times, there were quite a lot of things like recruiting sons-in-law through various competitions.
However, this time the Kong family recruited a son-in-law, and the number of participants was a bit small.
In total, there are only two people, the King of Shu and the Lu family, Lu Hao.
Although the Kong family does not limit the number of participants, as long as they feel that they have talent, young talents can participate.
But on one side is the high-flying King of Shu, who heard that he smashed the gate of the Kong family that day and beat the Lu family.
On the other side, there is the legend of the Lu family, one of the five surnames and seven hopes.
If others come forward to compete with them, it will basically be no fun, and they will offend these two ruthless people, so they don't have to cause a fuss.
Therefore, no one else competed with the two of them.
