Chapter 378: Propose marriage for the sake of the great cause

Li Dongsheng was too direct, and even asked Xiao Rui if he wanted to marry Li Ruoxue, if he answered too directly, wouldn't it seem like Meng Lang.

"Sister Ling is gentle and lovely, whoever can marry her will be a blessing from three lifetimes. However, since ancient times, the marriage event has been the generation of parents, and the words of the matchmaker, I can understand Brother Dongsheng's concern for his sister. Xiao Rui smiled.

Li Dongsheng said sincerely: "Don't hide it from Your Highness, if it weren't for worrying about Ruoxue, I would have traveled the world early next morning." She is too soft, although she is very assertive, she can't stand the worldly threats and the shackles of the family, and she will easily succumb for the sake of her family. King Ke was a clear example at the beginning, and now there are many high-ranking officials in Kyoto staring at her, how can I rest assured that she can be assured? ”

Xiao Rui was curious: "You can rest assured that I can do it?" ”

"Your Highness's people are noble and will cherish people, and my sister's background is not bad, and she is fully qualified to be His Highness's side concubine. And Ruoxue and Miss Zhuge are good friends, and they are not afraid of being bullied when they get married, so why not? More importantly, I want to find my sister someone she likes, not for her to marry her parents! Li Dongsheng said resolutely.

Hearing Li Dongsheng's words, Xiao Rui immediately raised his eyebrows and asked, "Sister Ling likes me?" ”

Xiao Rui was immediately proud, he was not only handsome, but also charming, and thousands of girls were obsessed with it, even an elegant and refined girl like Ruoxue was no exception.

Li Dongsheng nodded and said, "Your Highness doesn't know anything, Your Highness has been out for more than seven months, and my sister has been muttering twice in three days: Where has Your Highness been?" Where has Your Highness gone? Is it really because of curiosity about the beautiful scenery that His Highness admires? My brother went out on a tour, and I didn't hear that she cared about me! And I enjoyed the view not bad! So Ruoxue is she remembering the scenery? No, she is remembering His Highness! ”

"Your Highness, Mingren doesn't say secret words, do you want to marry my sister?"

Xiao Rui was secretly happy in his heart, and he was still thinking about how to take down Li Ruoxue and snatch the support of the Li family gate valve from the King of Chu, but now it is good, Li Dongsheng took the initiative to send his sister.

I'm so fucking good!

So Xiao Rui said solemnly: "Of course I want to, but Ling Zun and Lord Shoufu will agree?" I won't hide it from you, this king and the king of Chu are now on the same page, and they are incompatible, and your Li clan is supporting the king of Chu! You don't want Ruoxue to marry your parents' matchmaker, but can you really refuse? ”

Li Dongsheng said with a smile: "Since His Royal Highness wants to marry, my father doesn't have to worry, as for my grandfather... It's really not easy to do, although I am the eldest grandson, the strength of my speech is also limited, so I still need His Highness to come out in person! And His Royal Highness has thought about it, if he can persuade my grandfather to agree to this marriage, my grandfather is bound to support His Highness! Lee's gate valve is Lee's gate valve, and it can't control my grandfather's! My grandfather is the head of the cabinet of the dynasty, if I can get his support, I don't need to say, His Royal Highness can think of weight! Since ancient times, heroes have had to put in some effort if they want to hold a beauty, Your Highness, what do you say? ”

Xiao Rui nodded, just convincing Li Mingchong, the first assistant of the cabinet, it was not easy!

"Is Shousuke-sama in the house?" Xiao Rui asked.

Li Dongsheng was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Your Highness is going to try it now?" ”

"It's better to hit the day than to choose a day, and it's better to hit the day than today!" Xiao Rui said.

Li Dongsheng couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It seems that His Royal Highness has been salivating over my sister for a long time....."

Xiao Rui: ....

Don't be so straightforward, it's embarrassing!

In this way, Li Dongsheng took Xiao Rui and asked to see Li Mingchong, the first assistant.

Today is also a coincidence, after the morning court, Li Mingchong felt sick, he was already sixty-two, and he was worried about state affairs all day long, and he had passed the age of Zhishi, but His Majesty did not let him go back to his hometown.

He was resting in his room, and he came to the desk when he was in good spirits, but he suddenly heard that His Royal Highness King Xian was coming to see him, and he hurriedly went out to greet him personally.

Li Dongsheng sent Xiao Rui into Li Mingchong's study, slightly relieved, and after he turned around and went back, he happened to meet Li Ruoxue, who was looking for the two of them.

"Brother, where is His Royal Highness King Xian?" Li Ruoxue asked.

Li Dongsheng said: "His Royal Highness King Xian went to ask for his grandfather's marriage." ”

"Huh?" Li Ruoxue was surprised, then her pretty face turned red, and then she covered her face and ran away shyly.

And Li Mingchong invited Xiao Rui into the study to take a seat, and then poured tea himself, and said curiously: "I don't know what His Highness is looking for the old minister?" ”

After Xiao Rui hesitated for a moment, he simply went straight to the point, did not play dumb riddles, and said: "Li Shoufu, this king and Miss Li Ruoxue of your mansion are in love, so..."

"Ahem, cough..." Li Mingchong was so frightened that he coughed, looked at Xiao Rui with an unexpected expression, and then realized that he was acting recklessly, so he hurriedly covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves.

"Isn't Your Highness in love with the young lady of Zhuge Hou Mansion? His Majesty considered that the mother of the champion Hou had died less than three years ago, so he postponed the marriage. Is the old minister old and mediocre, and his ears are confused? Li Mingchong asked.

Xiao Rui was not embarrassed, and said: "Even an upright person like Li Shoufu has a wife, two equal wives, and a number of concubines, can't this king be with Li Ruoxue?" ”

Li Mingchong looked at Xiao Rui, but there was a little scrutiny in his slightly cloudy eyes.

"Your Highness should know the relationship between our Li clan and His Royal Highness the King of Chu." Li Ming rushed out and asked.

Xiao Rui nodded and said, "Of course I know, Princess Li Xiu'er of Chu is the granddaughter of Lord Shoufu's brother. ”

Li Mingchong said again: "Since His Royal Highness knows, do you still think that the old minister will agree to this family business?" ”

"Why not?" Xiao Rui asked rhetorically: "Although Li Xiu'er is a princess, what is the situation, this king doesn't say it, Li Shoufu should have heard of it." Moreover, I also know the bigger inside story, after the fact, Li Shoufu can ask Lord Li Mingde to see if the information he has obtained can still make the Li family wholeheartedly support the King of Chu! ”

"Shousuke-sama is a smart person, as the saying goes, put your eggs in two baskets to ensure that the eggs are not all broken!"

Li Mingchong heard this, and his face sank.

He naturally heard of Li Xiu'er's state, Du Xueqin was already pregnant, but Li Xiu'er's stomach did not improve, and the king of Chu was getting more and more tired of Li Xiu'er.

"What does Your Highness mean by the bigger insider?" Li Mingchong sensed the meaning of Xiao Rui's words and couldn't help but ask.

Xiao Rui smiled and said, "My lord really wants to hear me tell the truth?" ”

"It's... Then don't bother His Royal Highness King Xian. Li Mingchong was cautious and immediately refused.

Xiao Rui said again: "Lord Li, this king doesn't like to hide it, since I came to you to take the initiative to find out about this matter, I came with success, and I hope that my lord will not let me become benevolent if I don't succeed, then it's not beautiful." Today, the king came to propose, empty-handed, it is indeed not like words, I don't know what gift the king wants the king to prepare, you might as well say it, the king is willing to confess in front of Lord Li, express his sincerity! ”

These words are words in the words, Li Mingchong is cunning and cunning, so he naturally hears it clearly.

Xiao Rui asked Li Mingchong to make a bold request and put forward the conditions that he thought could marry his granddaughter!

Li Mingyang has seven or eight granddaughters, although Li Xiuer is a descendant, but after all, she is a woman, and it is not impossible to marry Xiao Rui as a side concubine, but just as Li Mingchong said, their Li family has already supported the King of Chu, and he has no sufficient reason, it is impossible to change his course and support King Xian again!

Yes, the eggs are insured in two baskets, but the most taboo thing from the Dragon Ministers is half-heartedness.

Unless, King Xian has the power that he has to support.

Li Mingchong immediately corrected his attitude and took the lead in saying: "His Royal Highness King Xian, the King of Chu is his son-in-law, and there is even more support from the Duke of Xi behind him!" Although Xi Guogong has resigned for many years, the connections he has accumulated over the years cannot be underestimated. Moreover, the cousin of the queen mother is still the White Tiger Marquis, and in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, there are not a few people who support His Royal Highness the King of Chu. ”

Xiao Rui smiled and said, "Sister-in-law? Master Li, do you think the so-called sister-in-law will make His Majesty the crown prince? You have been an official by His Majesty's side for so long, so you don't need to say more about this king. As for the White Tiger Hou, hmph... He doesn't deserve to be included in the Twelve Legislatures at all! And this king has the support of the champion Hou and the Zhenyuan Hou, and the Zhongyong Hou is also nine out of ten, do you think this king will worry about a white tiger Hou? And soon he will be unable to protect himself! ”

Li Ming was stunned and said in surprise: "Zhenyuan Marquis Han Ming supports His Highness? ”

After speaking, he suddenly said: "It seems that in Licheng Military Town, a lot of big things have happened!" Even the Marquis of Zhenyuan will support His Highness. As for the Marquis of Zhongyong... I heard that His Royal Highness and the young lady of the Marquis of Zhongyong Mansion also have a good relationship, His Royal Highness is really wise, it's just that he is not afraid of contacting so many military marquis? ”

Yes, a prince co-opting three military marquis, this is unimaginable, isn't he afraid that His Majesty will be jealous?

Xiao Rui smiled, on the surface it was light and light, but in fact, he was very apprehensive in his heart. He was also worried, if he contacted too many military marquises, he would kill himself, but Jia Xu and Guo Jia, the two think tanks, thought that nothing would happen, if it weren't for the loyalty of the two of them, Xiao Rui felt that the two of them were digging a pit to make themselves jump, and then buried alive.

"Master Li, you still don't know my father!" Xiao Rui said something very pretended.

Li Mingchong was silent, yes, he couldn't see through His Majesty today, His Majesty was too unfathomable, and he didn't dare to guess.

Xiao Rui continued: "As for the Duke of Xi behind the King of Chu, he was once born in the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Households, and his protΓ©gΓ© was the best in the world, but the Duke of Xiguo, like the White Tiger Marquis, is about to be unable to protect himself. And Lord Li, do you think this king has no connections? ”

Li Mingchong looked at Xiao Rui, who was so confident, in surprise, and thought of the appointment changes of the six departments of the imperial court in the past two years, and suddenly, he realized something.

However, these are not what he is most curious about, what he is most curious about is that the White Tiger Marquis and the Duke of Xi Guo are difficult to protect themselves, what does this mean?

But obviously, Xiao Rui didn't mean to say it explicitly.

Xiao Rui stood up and said, "Today's visit is just the first visit, Lord Li can go to meet Lord Li Mingde, and then I will have some small gifts, next time this king comes, I hope Lord Li can give this king a satisfactory answer!" Oh yes, today's matter, Lord Li can rest assured to reveal it to the King of Chu, and this king will not mind! ”

After speaking, Xiao Rui said goodbye and left.

After Li Mingchong sent Xiao Rui away, for the first time, he felt that this King of Xian was unfathomable, was he really not afraid that he would tell the King of Chu about today's events?

After his eyes flickered, he immediately rushed to Li Mingde's mansion.
