Wu Zetian wanted to marry Princess Taiping to Wu Youji, and Li Tong knew about it for a long time, so he was not surprised. After all, although he is quite capable of tossing and influencing many people, after all, the time is not long, and it is difficult to interfere with the details of many times and backgrounds when the general trend cannot be reversed.

However, he was indifferent to this, but it was a little unusual in the eyes of Princess Taiping. Although there was news that the God Emperor was going to re-marry her a few months ago, it was mainly concentrated in the palace, and the initial object of discussion was Wu Chenghe.

It was only because Wu Chenghei was too unbearable in the eyes of Princess Taiping, and his position in the current situation was too sensitive and dangerous, which was really contrary to Princess Taiping's wishes, and he was deadlocked for many days, so he recently changed his target to Wu Youji.

The range of people who know about this matter is even smaller, only between the mother and daughter, the people and the Wu family. And Wu Youji already has a wife, even if outsiders guess, it is difficult to lock in Wu Youji.

However, the young king didn't even show a hint of surprise, and seemed to know about it early, which had to make Princess Taiping suspicious, it seemed that she still underestimated this nephew, and his ears and eyes were more sensitive than she imagined.

Li Tong didn't know that his facial paralysis at this time made his aunt think so much, but even if he knew, there seemed to be no need to explain similar misunderstandings. What he was thinking about now was whether Princess Taiping's request should be agreed.

There is no doubt that Princess Taiping's second marriage has no emotional factors in it, and there is nothing more than wanting to take the lead in the future married life.

Originally, it was difficult for Li Tong to deduce what the family affairs of the two families were in history. But at present, the Li Tang clan is withering, the relationship between mother and daughter is also at the freezing point, and Princess Taiping is far from being qualified to make any arrangements with her wrist in the current situation, and it is reasonable to have such hesitation before marriage.

Li Tong has the guts, and he has no reverence for the sons of the martial arts. was imprisoned earlier, so he dared to scold Wu Sansi in the Ming Hall.

Although in the turmoil not long ago, Wu Jiazi's power progress was far better than him, but as a little milk dog in the rising period, Wu Jiazi's so-called power could not scare him.

But dealing with people like Princess Taiping, Li Tong inevitably thought deeply, I am not afraid of the martial arts is one thing, but now there is no need to step on the martial arts family to show his sense of existence.

What's more, this marriage is the intention of the god emperor, if you have a crooked mouth, you will let me force my head, although I am not worried that the relationship between the two of you husband and wife can fight at the end of the bed and at the end of the bed, but I have to consider my grandmother's perception.

It's true that the two have reached some tacit understanding now, but they can't get used to what you say and what I listen to, right? You also brought your son to my house to show off his wealth......

After a little silence, Li Tong said: "What my aunt complained, it is for the sake of the family, how can my brother shirk it!" The young man is willful, and the person he is afraid of is just angry, so why not be afraid of splitting his eyes and fighting each other! But after all, I am not trapped in public opinion, I look carefully at my aunt's eyes, where the scale is, and I look up to face-to-face. ”

"What do you say about humanity, this is just torture that ruins my name, and there is nothing to keep from now on!"

When Princess Taiping said this, her face became darker, and she even swallowed her fingers and hated: "The Wu clan is arrogant and powerful, and I am not just ruthless to lead San Lang into this." It is because I know that you have the ability to refute feelings, so I will sue you about this matter. But I can stay in my house and be unyielding, and even though I am in a cage, I can live in peace. ”

After Li Tong heard this, he knew that Princess Taiping didn't have any clear plans, but she was just unwilling. It seems that this time he not only wants to be a person, but also a dog-headed military advisor.

After a little silence, Li Tong asked again: "Can this matter be included in the ceremony?" ”

Princess Taiping shook her head when she heard this, and quickly understood what Li Tong meant: "San Lang is planning to be courteous?" ”

Seeing that although Princess Taiping was inexperienced, her thinking turned quickly, Li Tong couldn't help but feel that talent was really a good thing: "Although I am thoughtful, it is difficult to do things." The princess surrendered, and the pawn was in the Chunguan, this Wu clan has been in the place for a long time, and it is not easy to follow this thin one. ”

The Spring Official Rite Department is the place where the ceremony is located in the Southern Province, Wu Chenghei and Wu Sansi successively served as the Spring Official Shangshu, no matter whether they have the ability to code or not, the water is wet and wet, and it is inevitable to install some cronies in the Ministry of Rites.

Princess Taiping also wants to give the Wu family a dismount, but if she doesn't show this meaning, once it is revealed, the Wu family can dig a few pits as long as they do something in the ceremony. Even if you don't dare to pit Princess Taiping, it is not difficult to save your face.

"I have nothing to do with human chastity, I just want to keep a little bit of dignity, please set up a marriage envoy and specialize in etiquette. As for the candidates, San Lang, do you have any good recommendations? ”

Princess Taiping once again showed her understanding of drawing inferences from one case to another, Li Tong had just pointed out the problem, and she had already thought of a solution.

When Li Tong heard this, he felt that the rotten ship also had three catties of nails, although the relationship between mother and daughter was already very bad, but his aunt still had the confidence to be arrogant. Changed him, let alone bargaining on this, he still had a lot of concerns about accepting a concubine, and he didn't dare to talk about marriage privately.

Although Princess Taiping asked him for advice, Li Tong also knew that he could not stand out, once he recommended something, it would be to clearly fight against the martial arts and rise to the conflict of political personnel.

At the moment, he can't play such an exciting activity. All you need to do is put a few of your own people in it after this matter is settled. After all, he will have to join the Chun Guan, although he does not have a regular position, but if he wants to exercise his power, he must have a few people available.

"This matter is still in my aunt's own way, and the God Emperor chooses it. The special power committee does not need to go through the edict. ”

After Princess Taiping heard this, her eyes also flickered, and she naturally understood the hint of the young king.

This matter is well used, at least it can be said that she can force the Wu family through etiquette, and she can occupy the absolute initiative in this marriage at the beginning of the marriage. In the big picture, you can also bypass the prime minister's political affairs hall by selecting a marrying envoy and develop one or two officials who are close to you in the court.

"San Lang is wonderful, it's really, really enlightening!"

At present, Princess Taiping, although she has not yet made clear the idea of planning and laying out in the current situation, she can really feel that there are one or two powerful officials out of the interests of her own subordinates.

She didn't have such an idea before, but she didn't have a suitable entry point, after all, she had no experience in this area, and her status as a daughter also made her have no opportunity to directly intervene in the affairs of the court.

But Li Tong was able to perceive this as an opportunity in such a short period of time, if Princess Taiping's appreciation of this nephew was limited to characters before, then now she has a clearer understanding of his talent.

No wonder with such a sensitive identity, out of the cabinet in such a short period of time has already run a small situation, just in terms of insight into opportunities, Princess Taiping asked herself if she could not be as keen as the young king, and at the same time, she was even more glad that she was not reserved for the identity of the elder, and took the initiative to choose to see this nephew.

For his aunt's praise, Li Tong also accepted it deservedly.

Although he was afraid that he would be dominated by this aunt, he was only worried about a prosperous and extraordinary family like the Xue family in Hedong, not that he didn't want this aunt to develop her own political power. Just like fighting the landlord, the landlord has two kings and four two in hand, and the two of them have a bad hand and have to restrain each other, so they still have a fart.

In short, each has its own business, each has its own development, the time has come, cooperate with each other, do not be in a circle with each other, to avoid unnecessary internal friction.

At present, it is obvious that he wants to break his wrist with the martial family, and those families with rich political experience are very good at monkeys, and they will not be in a hurry to wade into troubled waters, and Wu Zetian will not allow them to do so. She can tolerate her beloved daughter's temperament and temper, but she will not tolerate other political forces taking advantage of this to make trouble and make trouble at such a critical moment.

Substituting this condition, Princess Taiping can choose a very limited number of candidates. And Li Tong reminded Princess Taiping to do this, in fact, he also wanted to take the opportunity to see how this aunt's connections were.

After being pointed out a clear road, Princess Taiping's mood improved, and she was in the mood to observe her son's living environment. She walked around the palace for a while, and then sighed: "I came and went in a hurry last night, and I didn't see that San Lang's house was quite cramped and simple. ”

Li Tong couldn't help but roll his eyes secretly when he heard this, only you dare to say this kind of thing. can occupy more than 30 acres of a mansion in the East Fourth Ring Road, and ordinary people are not so beautiful that they are bubbling, and the seventeen-acre mansion in Baiju Yi Nanfang is so happy that they can't find the north.

"The letter workshop is located in a remote area, and it is naturally difficult to compare the two ends of the Jinqiao Bridge. But it's not completely devoid of what's to show for it, it's moist and woody, it's rewarding, and it's not inferior to other places. ”

When Li Tong said this, he pointed to the west side of the house, and said: "The garden house is a little cramped, but the garden house in the west of the wall has won the land, and it has not been out of the pavilion for a long time, and there is no time to repair it, but it is not used temporarily." Wait until the autumn tribute into the capital, and then make a calm trim in the long winter, and the next year should be different. ”

"My son-in-law, how can I bear with it. San Lang, you are willing to take in your lost cousin, and you have done your aunt a great favor. My aunt is not an empty-handed person, I will take care of these little things for you, I am very interesting and talented, how can I throw them on these trivial family matters. ”

Princess Taiping waved her hand after hearing this, and said quite heroically.

Li Tong does not have the slightest psychological burden in fighting local tyrants, of course, he still has to be polite on his face.

However, his aunt was quite motherly in terms of generous hands, and she didn't listen to Li Tong's prevarication at all, and directly ordered the entourage of domestic slaves, and by the evening, there were already several carts of goods delivered to the Hedong Palace. In addition to ordinary goods, there are also several pastoral industries outside the country, just waiting for Li Tong to accept them.

There is really no shortage of money and property, not to mention the rewards she has received over the years, the inheritance of her husband's family property alone is an astonishing number.

Of course, even if you appreciate it, you can't afford to give so many pastoral properties, and Princess Taiping also wants to see what this nephew's background is, and whether there is enough manpower to take care of these properties.
