Seeing that Yang Li's face was full of nervousness when he just heard the news, Li Tong said with a smile: "His Majesty the Holy Emperor is a female and a hero, a talented person, and eclectic. When I returned to the capital last year, I talked about your deeds Yang Niangzi, and His Majesty said that he wanted to see you, a woman in Shuzhong. Now that the heroes are in the body, what is there to fear. ”

Hearing what the king said, Yang Li's mood calmed down a little, and after a moment of silence, she nodded and said, "Since the king asked me to face the saint, the concubine will dare to meet him." It's just that the king can accompany him personally? Otherwise, the concubine is afraid that she will lose her ability to cope and expose her shallowness......"

"Of course."

After Li Tong heard this, he nodded, and continued: "Here in the Shendu, the personnel are complicated, I still have a lot of things to entrust to Mrs. Yang, I can face the saint once, and you can enjoy more convenience in many homework in the Shendu." As for now, there is no need to think about anything else, rest in peace, sweep away the fatigue, and when you feel that you can cope with it, I will introduce you again. ”

"Although I am running from east to west, there are also cars and horses to travel, which can not be called fatigue."

Yang Li waved his hand again and said: "I heard Tian Weng who came forward to receive him say that the king has been suffering from the recent grain shortage in Jinzhou, and the concubine is also ready to go to Bianzhou to enjoy the scenery, but she can purchase a batch of grain and rice by the way and import it into Jinai for the king's use." ”

When Li Tong heard this, he was very grateful in his heart, looked at Yang Li's already quite thin face, and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Wang, how fortunate is it to be able to have such a lot of care and help from women. There is no shortage of talents to use here in the divine capital, but there is indeed a shortage of property outside the palace, and the lady does not have to go in person, she only needs to hand over the goods to Tian Weng and let him arrange for the disciples to go. ”

"In the old years, I was trapped in Xijing, and if it wasn't for the king's care, it would be difficult for the concubine to enjoy the calmness of today. But if you can help the king, why not be afraid of tiredness. ”

Yang Li said this, Yang Xianzong looked at his cousin from the side, sighed in his heart, and stepped forward and said: "Although the subordinate brothers and sisters are only simple in Shuzhong, they are loyal and righteous, and they have a thousand weights!" In the eyes of outsiders, Ah Mei may only be of Pu Ye's quality, but in my opinion, there is the fragrance of Lan Zhi, she ......"

"Brother, stop talking nonsense!"

Hearing her cousin say this, Yang Li's face suddenly changed, and she shouted in the middle of the banquet.

After Li Tong saw this, he was silent for a while, and only after a while did he speak: "Erlang is my humerus, and his heart can be true." Ling Mei is beautiful in the country, not inferior to a young man, both talented and beautiful, and the eyes of the world are seen, not only relatives and apprentices. Now all kinds of schemes are very dangerous, and they don't dare to blindly seek good and reverie long-term plans, and what will happen in the coming year has not yet been decided, so they don't dare to talk about human feelings. But if you can succeed in the situation, you will never live up to this long-term love! ”

"If you can get the king's promise, your subordinates will never give up!"

Yang Xianzong bowed down and said solemnly. In the other seat, Yang Li hid her face and wept, unable to speak because she was emotional.

After sending off the Yang brothers and sisters, Li Tong was a bit of a thief, and it was not good to enter the inner courtyard of the Tang family to say goodbye to the lady, leaving twenty people in the tent to guard here, and then returned to the palace.

In the following time, the wedding ceremony of the acting king also officially began, and the etiquette such as the acceptance of the lottery was done by the official of the Ministry of Rites, which added a touch of joy to the atmosphere of the already tense and solemn Kinai.

Soon the rites entered Najib, early in the morning Li Tong changed into a colorful auspicious dress, surrounded by Zhuhe Lang and the guards, first entered the inner palace, in the palace to worship the book, and then left the palace, to the temple to Buji to pay tribute.

However, the enshrinements in the Taimiao were replaced by the ancestors of the martial arts, so after leaving the Taimiao, Li Tong went to the temple of filial piety to the emperor in the east of the city, and had to tell his father Li Hong.

When the auspicious ceremony was completed and he returned to the forbidden center, it was already evening. After running around in the city for a day, the grain of rice had not entered, Li Tong was already hungry with his chest and back, so he hurriedly ate some fruits in the side hall, and then had to go out of the Xuanwu Gate to personally greet the Zheng family and others who came to the forbidden middle school to accept the number of gifts, and at the same time officially complete the canonization of the princess today.

At this time, the inside and outside of the Xuanwu Gate were already full of colorful lanterns, and even the soldiers of the Yulin Army stationed here had a colored stripe between their foreheads to wipe their foreheads, diluting a little bit of slaughter, and looking a little playful and lively.

When they arrived at the Xuanwu Gate, the Zheng family and the others had not yet arrived, Li Tong stood with a group of He Lang, looking at Li Yi, who was already heroic and extraordinary, and said with a smile: "Ah Lang has grown stronger, but do you have a plan for personnel?" If you already have a favorite object, it is inconvenient for parents to talk about things, you can tell me directly. ”

When Li Yi heard this, his face was a little embarrassed, and he lowered his head and said: "The lowly position is shallow and lowly, and there are no deeds, so you still have to seek fame first, and then talk about other things." ”

Li Tong laughed when he heard this, patted him on the shoulder and praised: "Ambitious, young and heroic, self-serving first, keep your ambitions, adapt to the timing, and help the latter to become famous!" ”

Their Li family clan has been almost messed up, and they have limited survival skills. Therefore, Li Tong attaches great importance to Li Yi, a young man, and strengthens the contact whenever he has the opportunity, and this time he also specially named Li Yi to be his He Lang.

Hearing that His Royal Highness the Acting King appreciated Li Yi so much, the rest of the He Lang also expressed envy, including Pei Guangting, the little mother's treasure. Today's acting king is in a prosperous position, and it is very simple to promote a few young people who have just entered the officialdom, and if they can be appreciated, it will undoubtedly make their career smoother.

Just after a few gossips here, the Zheng family's team had already appeared on the opposite side, preaching in unison left and right, and Li Tong also rode his horse and stepped forward to greet the congratulators.

The Zheng family dispatched a large number of people this time, there were hundreds of people, and they marched to the front of the Xuanwu Gate, and the first one was Li Tong's new father-in-law, Zheng Rong.

Zheng Rong was in his early forties, with a clear face, a long beard, and a very standard scholarly appearance.

Li Tong also dismounted and walked to the front, raised his hand and responded: "Xiao Wang is ordered by the emperor to guide the prince and all his relatives into the palace to worship Chengcheng. ”

Zheng Rong's expression was serious, he carefully looked at the young king in front of him, and after a while, his expression eased slightly, and said, "His Royal Highness Lao personally guided." ”

The two parties made a line together, Li Tong and the others walked in front, and the people in the rear followed.

It was the first time for Li Tong to meet his new father-in-law's family, and he was also looking at these people with his eyes as he walked. Although it is only a cursory appearance, the first impression is not bad.

His new father-in-law, Zheng Rong, has served two terms as a county magistrate in other states, and now he is still the first choice, although the official character is not high, but his bearing is not bad, he is neither humble nor arrogant, and his demeanor is decent.

In addition, there are two brothers-in-law, the eldest has reached the crown, named Zheng Fuqiu, and the younger thirteen-year-old, named Zheng Zijin, both of whom have not yet been relieved of their duties.

When passing through the Xuanwu Gate, the ladies of the Zheng family also had to get out of the car and walk. Li Tong and everyone stood on the side of the palace road and waited, and before they could find the bride from the women in palace clothes, some palace people entered the front and surrounded the people with step screens and feather fans, and then entered the palace first.

In front of everyone's eyes, Li Tong couldn't catch up and take a closer look, so he and the men of the Zheng family came to the Forbidden Middle Immortal Residence Hall to wait for the Holy Emperor to summon him.

After everyone sat down, the atmosphere was a little awkward and dreary, and the in-laws were still strangers to each other, and there was no common topic.

After sitting like this for a while, Li Tong took the initiative to open the topic, pointed to his two brothers-in-law and asked, "The two Langjun don't know where to study?" ”

The two young people were a little restrained, and Zheng Rong took the initiative to reply: "Da Lang used to learn from the country, and he failed to be named in the two tests, and now he is cultivating sex in the township." Jiro is a pro-scholar with the clan, and he is a simple pass. ”

"The scenery in the township is simple, less than nuisance, although it can cultivate self-cultivation, but the youth is strong, and it needs to be determined early. The city of Shendu is full of streams, there are many characters to appreciate, see the talents, think together, know the courage to hear things, as long as you are respectful to the good teachings of the elders, you will not enter if you do not suffer from virtue. ”

Hearing Li Tong say this, Zheng Gao, the other seat, also said with a smile: "The West Garden, the former residence of His Royal Highness, is where the talents of the capital are gathered. ”

Li Tong also smiled and nodded after hearing this, the Zheng family, as a famous family in Shandong, its heritage and influence are not reflected in the specific position, and they naturally enjoy great appeal in Shilin.

Those in the position of power, such as Prime Minister Wei Yuanzhong, were proud to be able to marry the Zheng family. Later, Yao Chong, who worshiped the prime minister several times, was a national servant, but his children could only choose the slightly inferior Zheng family even mountain house when they got married, which was still a high climb.

A period has its own unique values, even if this standard is very nonsense, but when most people recognize and chase, then it has its value. If he could introduce the Xingyang Zheng clan into his West Garden assembly, it would undoubtedly increase his influence among Shilin.

As he spoke, the sound of ceremonial music sounded on the other side of the palace, which was officially canonizing the princess. Later, another palace person came to tell His Majesty the Holy Emperor to summon him, and this time when he got up again, Li Tong would give Zheng Rong a junior salute, and let him be half of his body when he went out.

When everyone ascended the hall, in addition to Wu Zetian, who was sitting in the hall, there were also officials from the Ministry of Rites and officials from the temple.

After everyone went to the palace to pay their respects, Zheng Rongqian bowed to the book of gifts in the hands of Lu Yingzhen, the official waiter of the spring, so that he officially accepted this national marriage. Lu Yingzhen, who presented the ceremony, was also the in-law of their Xingyang Zheng family, which shows the intertwined network of relationships between these big clans in the political situation.

After the letter of worship is not over, as the direct relatives of the acting princess Zheng, Zheng Rong and his two sons have to be conferred the title of dismissal. Among them, Zheng Rong was directly awarded the four-rank Taizhong doctor, and was knighted as a male in Yangcheng County, the eldest son Zheng Fuqiu was awarded the eight-grade Chengwu Lang, and the second son Zheng Zijin was awarded the nine-grade general Shilang.

Hearing that Zheng Rong's father and son were conferred, even Li Tong couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly, his grandmother was really arrogant, he hadn't started to seek five grades for his father-in-law, and as a result, the new father-in-law directly went to the fourth grade. As for Zheng Gao, he was even more envious, what is it better to marry well than to marry well?

He mixed it for many years and picked up leaks, and finally got mixed into the four grades. But his cousin only married his daughter once, and he went straight to the fourth grade, and it was Zhang Luo who was busy with him, which can be described as a complete win.

Especially the county barony, it is even more greedy for Zheng Gao to bite the root of the back tongue, Yangcheng County is located in Luonan, which is the habitat of their Zheng clan, and now it is directly sealed by Zheng Rong.

Based on this alone, Zheng Rong's status in the clan can directly surpass him, the knighthood of the countryside is the glory of the clan, Zheng Rong has a lord but he does not, when the local sacrifice, there is a lord in front, which is not only the glory, but also the compromise of the clan to the imperial power.
