Chapter 616: Marriage and Marriage
Jinyang matter was decided, Li Su and Li Zhi sent a joint report to Pegasus into Chang'an, Chang'an City's response was very fast, there was a messenger to Jinyang within five days, in addition to praising Li Zhi Li Su and his party, saying that he would return to Chang'an and then reward, but also strictly ordered the criminal officer Sun Furen and his family, as well as various evidence of the Lu family's rebellion to Chang'an, although more than 100 members of the Lu family were dead, but the posture still had to be done, so although the prisoner could not be taken away, but at that time the autopsy data report and the messenger, etc., also had to go to Chang'an to report to the Dali Temple.
After the rebellion case was disposed of, Li Shimin made a separate will to the Wang family, which was a bit strange, and before the eunuch announced the decree, he also summoned the head of the Wang family, Wang, to Jinyang City, and ordered him to receive the decree with Li Zhi and others.
is a very strange will, Li Su and Li Zhi are confused, looking at each other, they don't know what it means.
Wang Cheng came quickly, this time in a long costume, and also brought with him the elders and juniors of the Wang family, with a solemn attitude of being officially received by the head of state.
People are here, and a lot of them come, but in the face of Li Su, who has pit the Wang family once, the Wang family basically has no good face, a large group of people see Li Su, and those who are better educated also know the perfunctory salute, and the lightning speed arches their hands and immediately retracts them, and the younger generation who are almost self-cultivated are not polite, and when they see Li Su, they not only do not salute, but also snort viciously, expressing the collective anger of the Wang family towards Li Su.
Li Su smiled bitterly, this beam is a little deep, and I am afraid that it will not be able to be resolved in the future.
Thinking about it, I also understand the actions of the Wang family, if he was cheated like this once, and provoked the two gate valves to fight and almost lose both, he probably didn't have a good temper, the Wang family didn't directly chop him with a knife, which shows that the good upbringing of the millennium gate valve is indeed very effective, of course, it is not ruled out that Li Su's face is too flawless, and people are reluctant to destroy this perfect work of art.
The proclamation was made by a Zhongshusheren surnamed Cui, who had just rushed to Jinyang from Chang'an by order, covered in wind and dust, tired, but very good, and very patient, who had been smiling and chatting with Li Zhi Li Su and the Wang family, and did not see any fatigue at all, but was full of energy, witty words, and completely ignored the hostility and gunpowder smell that obviously existed between the Wang family and Li Su.
Being able to use the people of the Zhongshushe to come to Jinyang to proclaim the decree can be seen how much Li Shimin attaches importance to the Taiyuan Wang family, and when the relevant people wait for the Qi, all of them are concentrated in the courtyard of the Jinyang County Ya, this Zhongshushe person cleared his throat, and the appearance of smiling and chanting became serious and dignified, and the treasure was solemn, and the Li Zhi and the Wang family in the courtyard also showed a solemn look.
Placing incense on the table, facing the north and worshipping, the black pressure in the courtyard was all shortened, and then the sound of the proclamation was heard.
The holy decree is very formal, the four or six pun fu is brilliant, every word is spitted out is a loud and positive sound, echoing the world, it can be sure that a certain Confucian courtier in the three provinces is the ghostwriter, Li Shimin will never spend too much time doing this kind of boring thing of chewing words, all he can do is probably to sign a name at the end of the holy decree, stamp a big seal, and call it a day.
Listening to the holy decree in his ears, Li Su's mind drifted away unconsciously.
He had little interest in the decree, and more importantly, he ...... I don't understand it at all.
And he can be sure that this holy decree must be the main purpose of appeasing the Taiyuan Wang clan, and the means of appeasement are nothing more than rewarding gold, silver, cloth, silk, good fields and sealing officials and knights, in short, it is full of routines.
Since the holy decree has nothing to do with him, and his cultural level is too poor to understand, Li Su's distraction is naturally the proper meaning of the question.
Introspective about the process of quelling the chaos in Jinyang, Li Su felt that this errand was done both well and badly, the good thing is that the Jinyang Rebellion did subside, the bright road, the dark road, plus Li Ji's 20,000 soldiers and horses in the state, both grace and power, both soft and hard, Yang conspiracy and conspiracy are all on the ground, killing people and setting fire to the pit and abducting and deceiving......
Thinking of this, Li Su couldn't help but snort.
The process of pacifying the chaos is not very kind, no matter what, the one who can catch the mouse is a good cat, and the bad one is also obvious, some black pots Li Su can't afford to carry, so he threw them to Li Shimin without hesitation, Li Shimin was caught off guard and ate Li Su's stuffy loss, so he had to grit his teeth and carry the pot on his back, and he also had to wipe Li Su's buttocks, such as the holy decree in front of him, which belongs to the content of wiping his buttocks.
It was Li Su who offended the Wang family, but Li Shimin had to come forward to appease, what to reward, what to give, what to seal, under the emperor's grace, in fact, he was also forced to smile, Li Su was a little worried, and when he returned to Chang'an, he was afraid that Li Shimin would not have a good face for him......
There were many thoughts and confusion, and just when Li Su's mind gradually drifted to the realm of too nothingness, a sentence pulled him back.
“…… I heard that the youngest daughter of Taiyuan Wang's Renyou, the door attacked the bell and Ding, and the rules of etiquette were trained, and the appearance was leisurely, and the suppleness was the heart. Expensive but not ashamed, humble and light. However, the ninth son of the emperor, the king of Jin, served and thought about it, and bowed down, and the young daughter of the Wang family could be appointed as the princess of Jin......"
When Li Su heard this, he couldn't help but gasp, and then he was about to laugh with a "poof", but fortunately, he reacted in time, quickly lowered his head, and covered his mouth......
Li Zhi's reaction was even more intense, and when he heard this, he looked up at the Zhongshu man surnamed Cui in amazement, and blurted out in shock and grief: "Did you read it wrong?" Why me? What did I do...... Ah! ”
Li Su quickly slapped Li Zhi's buttocks who were kneeling in front of him, Li Zhi screamed in pain, suddenly felt speechless, turned his head to look at the Wang family again, but it was too late, the Wang family was headed by Wang Cheng, and the group of people looked unkind, glaring at Li Zhi viciously, obviously the words that Li Zhi blurted out just now had deeply hurt the fragile glass hearts of the Wang family.
The Zhongshu scholar surnamed Cui was interrupted by Li Zhi, and his expression was a little displeased, but after all, it was the emperor's own son who interrupted him, and he was also the prince's son, so he didn't bother to say anything, so he only smiled gently and continued to announce the decree.
The little child's expression was even more hurt, he glanced at Li Su with great resentment, closed his eyes in resignation, sighed lightly, and continued to bow his head and listen to Cui Sheren's decree.
Li Su's face was flushed, he wanted to laugh, and he was very emotional.
History is really not so easy to change, even if it deviates slightly from the track, but it is still stubbornly corrected.
The young daughter of the Taiyuan Wang family, the pearl of the Wang family, the future Empress Gaozong, and the person who will fight with Concubine Xiao and Sister Wu in the future, Li Shimin finally gave her a marriage to Li Zhi.
What Li Su didn't expect was that the marriage was actually given because of this incident, and the two families of Li and Wang formed an in-law, and the intention of appeasing the Wang family was very obvious, but despite this, the Wang family still bought it, and the holy decree was read to the end, and everyone in the Wang family had shown a satisfied smile, although Li Zhi's attitude just now made everyone very dissatisfied, but ...... This is a political marriage, children are all chess pieces on the political chessboard, whether the chess pieces are satisfied or not, has no impact on the overall political situation, people who play chess do not need to know the likes and dislikes of the chess pieces, even if you throw the young daughter of the Wang family in the palace in the future, but she is still the princess of Jin who is married to the Ming media, and the Wang family is also a dignified relative of the heavenly family.
That's enough, what you want is this identity, and it is this level of comfort that you enjoy, as for personal feelings, they are the least worth mentioning in this tacit political marriage.
The lengthy and wordy decree was finally recited, Cui Sheren breathed a sigh of relief, rolled up the decree, and held it in front of Wang Cheng with both hands. ”
Everyone got up, Cui Sheren flicked his sleeves, first smiled at Li Su and Li Zhi, and then greeted everyone in the Wang family for a while, then Shi Ran said goodbye and went back to Chang'an to resume his life.
After walking a lube, the atmosphere in the courtyard of the county government suddenly became very awkward.
Wang Cheng and the others glared at Li Su, and couldn't stop sneering, Li Su looked up at the sky, and muttered in his mouth, "Xiao Transparent, I am Xiao Transparent, please ignore my ......"
Li Su didn't accept the offer, and everyone in the Wang family had to turn their eyes to the little kid Li Zhi......
Li Zhi grinned, squeezed out an ugly expression, he couldn't tell whether he wanted to laugh or cry, his face turned red, and he didn't know how to react to the collective attention of everyone in the Wang family, Li Zhi struggled for a while, or it was safer to be a son-in-law, so he threw himself to the ground.
"That, ah, grandson-in-law...... Zhi, meet Grandpa Wang. ”
Wang Cheng raised his eyebrows, and said nonchalantly: "Your Highness is exempt from courtesy, and the old man doesn't dare to be it." ”
Li Zhi smirked: "Dare to be, dare to be......"
Li Su sighed, he was already very embarrassed, Li Zhi's stupid reply made the atmosphere more and more embarrassing, and the embarrassment was committed.
The eyes asking for help looked at Li Su, and Li Su rolled his eyes.
What's the use of asking me for help? My relationship with the Wang family has reached the point where I wish each other every day when I go out and are hit by a car and die, what if the Wang family stuffs a few more daughters into me as wives?
"Outside the city...... Seems...... It's still stewed, I have to go and see it......" Li Su muttered to himself, but his footsteps did not stop, and he walked faster and faster, under the pitiful gaze of Li Zhi and the Wang family, Li Su's figure flashed through the round arch of the courtyard, and disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving Li Zhi alone with a tiger wolf.
******************************************************************************
The day after the decree was announced, everything had been decided, and Li Su couldn't wait to give the order to leave for Chang'an.
Although it has only been out for two or three months, Li Su seems to have experienced a lifetime, too long and too long.
The father and Xu Mingzhu at home don't know how, does the old rascal Cheng bite Jin has blackened his own income, does Dongyang, who is not pure, read the scriptures every day, and the bamboo chaise longue under the big ginkgo tree in the atrium of the family, next to the wine cloth and vegetables, people lie down and are happy like gods, facing the south and the north, and the king is not ......
Suddenly, Li Sugui's heart was like an arrow.
The honor guard pulled out the camp, Fang Lao Wu and Wang Zhu followed, and the Li family members raised their heads and chests, their faces bloomed, and they seemed to be unable to suppress their hearts because of the joy of returning home.
Compared with the elation of Li Su and the Li family, Li Zhi was depressed, like a mourner, unable to lift his spirits all the way, like a frosted eggplant.
"It's a big loss, this trip to Jinyang is a big loss!" Li Zhi cried with a sad face, like a fly, he chattered in Li Su's ear from the beginning of the journey, and the verbosity was endless.
Li Su rode on the horse, closed his eyes and calmed down, too lazy to take care of him.
"It's a loss, I'm so bad......" Li Zhi was so aggrieved that the corners of his mouth deflated into a bitter gourd, and said with a sad face: "Inexplicable, why do I want to marry?" Who have I offended? ”
Looking up at Li Su, Li Zhi said aggrievedly: "Obviously, you offended the Wang family, why did my father let me suffer?" Brother Zizheng, can the confusion of the cure brother be solved? ”
Li Su glanced at him and said leisurely: "The Jinyang Rebellion has been settled, you have not only made great contributions in front of your father and the emperor, earned enough popularity, but also earned a famous daughter as an aunt in vain, Your Highness, where are you losing?" ”
Li Zhi opened his mouth and found that he was speechless, so he couldn't help but be angry: "But I'm only twelve years old!" ”
"So what?" Li Su glanced at him three ways, then turned his head and said, "If it is not useful now, it does not mean that it will not be used in the future, that ...... Your Highness, have faith in yourself,...... Be patient too. ”
Li Zhi looked confused: "Why don't you use it?" What am I not working for? ”
Li Su smiled and stroked the dog's head, the innocent little virgin is very cute, but he is a little stupid, no matter how he looks at it, it is not like the wise and wise father who led the Tang Dynasty into the period of rapid expansion of the national territory.
Li Su stroked his head, Li Zhi never got angry, every time Li Su stroked his hand to the top of his head, Li Zhi always squinted slightly, revealing a comfortable and comfortable expression like a puppy basking in the sun, so cute that he didn't want it.
From Chang'an to Jinyang, the two can be said to share weal and woe, share weal and woe, and more and more tacit understanding, although Li Zhi is young, but his eyesight is by no means bad, he is very smart when he should be smart, and he has never disappointed Li Su, Li Su's ability and Li Zhi's identity, the two of them sang together, and the Jinyang Rebellion was quelled in the hands of this big and small two.
The more time they get along, the more Li Su's feelings for Li Zhi become.
This kind of affection has nothing to do with whether he will be an emperor in the future, it is from the bottom of his heart that he feels that this child is good, and there is no half-utilitarian idea, even if history is changed because of Li Su's arrival, Li Zhi did not become an emperor, Li Su will still regard him as a friend of his own, or a deeper brotherly feeling than a friend.
Of course, the feelings are slowly deepened over time, and the same is true for the way people get along with each other, at present, Li Su has not yet realized that Li Zhi is going to the soup for him, but the feelings are much deeper than when he first met, this kind of "deep" has a bottom line, for example, when he first met Li Zhi, the relationship between everyone is not familiar, if Li Zhi has a big hole in front of him, Li Su will not squeak, he will only watch him planted, and now, everyone is already very familiar, if there is a cold arrow shot at Li Zhi, Li Su's loyalty has not reached the point of helping Li Zhi block arrows with his body, at most, he will get up and kick Li Zhi away, so that he will not be shot by cold arrows, this is a portrayal of the depth of the current relationship between the two, as for the future The friendship between the two will be deeper, will Li Su use himself as Li Zhi to block arrows...... This, it shouldn't be, or will kick him away.
…………
The return trip was boring and boring, but the joy and urgency of returning home were permeated in the team, so the morale of the march was still very high, of course, among them, Fang Lao Wu's high-pitched and loud Qin tone was indispensable, which often caused the team to laugh and coax, and the atmosphere went faster and faster in this cheerful tone.
Li Ji also entered Chang'an with the army this time, in addition to leaving 5,000 soldiers and horses to stay in Jinyang, the remaining 15,000 people withdrew to the state, as the role of force and coercion in this rebellion, Li Ji also had to follow into Chang'an to report on his work.
As soon as Li Zhi was sent away and asked him to work hard to get used to the days of having an aunt in the future, Li Ji stepped forward and rode side by side with Li Su.
On the bumpy horseback, Li Ji looked at Li Su deeply, with an unpredictable smile on the corner of his mouth, Li Su was stared at by Li Ji's gaze, so he had to grin at him friendly.
"In the past, Chang'an City often said that the Li family was witty, smart and sensitive, and acted unexpectedly, even His Majesty praised you as a young hero of the Tang Dynasty, and deliberately transferred you to Shangshu Province for this reason, it can be seen that the future is limitless, and the old man did not believe that the rumors were true until now, little baby, you can be a hundred thousand male soldiers alone."
Li Su laughed again and again: "The kid doesn't dare, Uncle Li praised it." ”
"The old man said yes, what is there to be modest about the credit earned by his own hands? The baby has learned the sour and rotten atmosphere of the literati and Confucianism, and the old man is the most unaccustomed to it! Li Ji said dissatisfied.
"Yes, the kid found that he was indeed remarkable, and what Uncle Li said was very appropriate, and the kid should do it." Li Su corrected the mistake of being blind and modest with kindness.
"You ......" Li Ji's hand stroking his beard shook, as if he wanted to whip him, but he did reprimand him like this just now, Li Su didn't seem to have done anything wrong, and hesitated for a while. (To be continued.) )
