Chapter 208: The "Honored Guest" Who Gave Land
Suspicion is resentful.
Li Ran never expected that his eldest brother's resentment would be so high.
He's obscure.
"There are some things that you have to fight for yourself...... There are a thousand reasons why the officials don't support you to be the prince, but you only need one reason to become the prince. ”
Li Ran's face was solemn, and he said lightly, "The emperor supports you, and that's enough." ”
"Father? Hehe, if my father is really determined, why should he delay until now. ”
Li Chongrun clearly didn't believe it, and this stubborn attitude was a headache.
"The old man has the difficulties of the old man, he has only been on the throne for a few years, and there are too many things to deal with."
Li Ran shook his head and ended the contentious topic.
"If you really can't let it go, you might as well go back to Luoyang and tell you about your exploits outside the Saiwai in front of hundreds of officials, who dares to oppose you being the prince?"
"Hehe, ask those people?"
Li Chongrun sneered, "I don't ask for them...... When I want to go back to Luoyang, I will go back. ”
He seemed to have something in his words, Li Ran shook his head, knowing that it was useless to say more.
This conversation broke up unhappily, and after Li Chongrun delivered the gifts he brought, he left without even eating the banquet he had set, which disappointed Xian Hui'er.
"Uncle's heart knot, I can't untie it for a while, take your time."
Li Ran stroked her little daughter-in-law's hair, and the action of falling in love made Wu Qingying's eyes flash with a hint of strangeness.
Obviously, she was a little envious of Li Ran and Xian Hui'er's fairy companionship.
And herself...... With Li Chongrun's attitude, don't even think about it in the future, in this life, I'm afraid I will have to stay alive and widowed.
“…… Sister Qingying said that she took the initiative to contact her brother in Wuxian these days, but her brother has been cold, and she has not been entangled anymore. ”
Xian Hui'er wiped the corners of her eyes, "Brother, Sister Qingying, they are all hard-working people." ”
Li Ran doesn't believe in metaphysics, but the relationship between the two is indeed stuck in an endless loop...... Let's take one step at a time.
A happy gathering of sisters faded a lot because of the interlude, and Wu Qingying's mood was depressed, and she resigned after only two days.
Before leaving, he talked with Li Ran about the development strategy of Wuxian County.
Apparently she was a staunch reformist...... Even the structure of the fiefdom copied Li Ran's ideas.
"The chief officer of Hedong Province has come to Wuxian several times, and he seems to be very enthusiastic about my territory...... My county order is not hereditary. ”
Wu Qingying has something to ask for, of course, she will not let the fiefdom company that has developed with great difficulty be let people.
"Hehe, your martial artist's biggest backer is still there, and you are asking me for help."
Li Ran is not unwilling to intervene, but the appointment of county officials is a matter involving power, and the officials are very sensitive, if he comes forward, Wu Qingying's hope will only be worse.
“…… Grandma's body is getting worse day by day. ”
Wu Qingying's expression darkened, as if she didn't want to trouble Wu Zetian with this kind of thing.
As the appointed head of the family, Wu Zetian asked these two buddies to obey Wu Qingying's wishes in front of Wu Chengxun and Wu Congqian.
So, she didn't want to look powerless.
"In this way, in fact, there is another way, what you lack now is the identity of the official."
Li Ran wanted to speak and stopped, but Wu Qingying's eyes lit up.
The foundation of the martial arts family is not weak, and the connections in various places have not been severed, and the only trouble is that because of Wu Sansi, the children of the clan have no possibility of being officials in the imperial court.
Without an official status, no matter how awesome a lord is, there will be a day of decay.
What's more, Wu Qingying is a woman, and being able to get into the position of county commander is already because Li Xian Kaien and Wu Zetian are still there, and the rest of the martial arts children don't look like they have a future.
“…… I don't want to be an official, I don't want to be an official anymore, I am simple in training and humble, and I am not suitable for intrigue in the officialdom. ”
She paused, and suddenly lowered her voice, "You are hesitant, whether there is a way to help me, but you can't say." ”
Tsk, this girl's senses are quite keen.
Li Ran smiled slightly, he did have an idea, but he didn't plan to support this matter.
Marriage...... The best way to maintain a relationship in the family.
Originally, after Wu Qingying and Li Chongrun got married, it was a good thing for the Li family and the Wu family, but these two people had deep resentment, and basically couldn't urinate a pot.
But that doesn't mean it's a no-brainer.
The marriage candidates of the Li family and the martial family are actually a couple.
And it is also a legitimate husband and wife relationship in history...... Li Bao'er and Wu Chengxun!
Since Wei's death, the sister-in-law Li Bao'er has been taken by her sister Xian Hui'er, this girl is not as knowledgeable as Xian Hui'er, quite wild, Li Ran used to be able to discipline a few points when he was free, and then he was busy with business, Li Bao'er entered adolescence again, becoming more and more lawless, plus Li Xian is favored, and the kind that does not bring the stars to the moon.
She has a personality like Merriam-Webster...... Strictly speaking, Li Ran hated this kind of eldest lady's temper, which could be seen from the fact that he was cleaning up Wu Qingying in front of him.
Of course, the sister-in-law's nature is not bad, and she only needs a good family affair to make her restrain a lot.
In line with the principle of respecting people, she hopes to be able to choose her own husband, but it is obviously more reliable to recommend one or two suitable ones.
"Brother Chengxun is not too young, it's time to find a family business, as the head of the martial arts family, think about it carefully, don't go down your old path."
Li Ran implicitly gave a hint, words can only go so far, if sister-in-law Li Bao'er and Wu Chengxun can really come together, it can only be said that the wheel of history is really difficult to change.
Wu Qingying seemed to have an understanding, nodded slightly, and stopped talking nonsense.
Bidding farewell to this girl, Xian Hui'er was depressed for several days, and Li Ran took him to appreciate the local customs for a long time before recovering.
After today, the fiefdom has welcomed another special guest.
A line of cavalry approached in the night, coming and going like the wind, extremely fierce combat power.
Of course, Li Ran was unmoved, he took his guards to hold torches, and quietly watched the other party arrive on the grassland outside the fiefdom like a whirlwind cloud.
Under the flickering firelight, he smiled at the leader.
"You're pretty sassy, show me muscles?"
"Hehe, how dare you dare to fight in front of the immortal master, I came today, I miss the immortal master."
Look, such a talkative Turkic is also alive for a long time...... Ashina Choyun was wearing a special silk robe made in the south of the Yangtze River, dressed like a Han person, but he couldn't get rid of the Turkic taste of his bones.
There is a saying that painting a tiger is not an anti-dog.
"Okay, you sent me a letter secretly, and you picked the time to meet in the middle of the night, not to ask for praise, what's the matter, let's talk clearly."
Li Ran smiled and stopped talking nonsense.
It's cold, there's nothing to do with the autumn wind, isn't it fragrant to go back to the bed to accompany your wife and tease the children?
"Sure enough, I can't hide anything from the immortal master, so I won't hide it."
Ashina smiled awkwardly, obviously, he was very anxious in his heart, and after being simple and polite, he immediately got to the point.
With a wave of his hand, his subordinates will deliver the gifts they have brought.
“…… You're pretty generous. ”
Li Ran glanced slightly, and his eyebrows suddenly raised.
Not to mention generosity, it is simply a loser...... This guy turned out to be giving land!
A contract agrees to give the entire Hetao area to Datang!
