"I'll have dinner at my house later. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

In the Imperial Palace and Plum Garden, Li Chao greeted Qin Qiongcheng, biting Jin, Li Ji, Su Dingfang, and several princes.

"What's the good thing?" Cheng Biting Jin folded a plum in his hand, put it to his nose and sniffed it from time to time, full of the appearance of a flower thief.

"Isn't it a good thing to be crowned king?" Li Chao smiled, "It's a good thing, a few days ago, Wei Xiang came to the door and said that he was going to welcome Lianniang into the Wei family on the eighteenth day of the lunar month, I think the days are good." This matter is settled, those of you who are uncles and brothers, you must not be a helper? It's only been half a month, and let's discuss what to do with this happy event when we go to the house. ”

Li Chao and Cheng Biting Jin are also good friends.

Lao Cheng didn't shy away from suspicion, and said with a smile, "Of course, this good thing can't be missing Lao Cheng, but it's a pity that I don't have a daughter of the right age, or I'll choose one for Lianniang to dowry." ”

In the Spring and Autumn Period, the princes married their daughters, and the scholars sent their daughters to marry, which was called a wife. There is also the habit of marrying large clans and small clansmen. Before Li Chaona, Fan Yang, the daughter of the Lu family, and the four branches of the Lu family all sent women to marry. It can be said that this is the magnanimity of the millennium gate valve.

The Li family has a close relationship with the Cheng family, and Cheng Biting Jin was originally married to the Qinghe Cui family after his death, and she is the aunt of Li Chao's wife Thirteen Niang, so Li Chao can actually call Cheng Biting Jin an uncle. This can also be regarded as the normal in-law of those top gate valve families, who marry each other, and the relationship is intertwined.

Qin Qiong is Li Chao's father-in-law, and he is also the brother of the old iron gun, Lianniang is also his goddaughter, of course he has to help when his goddaughter marries.

It's Wei Chigong, a black charcoal face is a bit unapproachable.

He said that he was not available, and Li Chao smiled and didn't say anything. It's Li Ji, this guy actually found an excuse that he couldn't go because of something.

"What do you mean by the surname Li?" Lao Cheng was furious on the spot, Li Chao grabbed Lao Cheng, "It's okay, anyway, we'll discuss some preparations later, and it's not a wedding, it's enough to have a few of us." ”

Li Chao knew that Li Ji was avoiding suspicion.

After all, these few of them are now all princes, and their every move is being watched by others, and it is not a good thing to have too close contacts, and it is more taboo.

Li Ji has always been more cautious. When the Xuanwu Gate changed, he came to neutrality. But it can't be said that he is not right, it is always good to be cautious.

Guo Xiaoke also came out of Wagang, and worked under Li Chao for a period of time. Seeing his reluctant smile on his face, Li Chao didn't let him pass, otherwise, he wouldn't feel comfortable going.

Guo Xiaoke's qualifications are far inferior to Qin Qiongcheng's gold, and this time he can be regarded as taking advantage of the king, he happens to be in Hexi. But the whole process of King Qin, that is, the soy sauce was returned, the west of the river was stabilized, the soldiers and horses were recruited, and when Li Shimin came back from the Western Regions, he led the troops to escort the east.

This is to pick up a county king for nothing, and I don't know how many people are envious and jealous. But sometimes, it's just like that, relying on opportunity. Like the Xuanwumen Change, Hou Junji, Zhang Liang, Zhang Gongjin, these generals, before the Xuanwumen Change, were only middle-level officers, but they could participate in the Xuanwumen Change, and immediately became generals.

The eldest grandson Wuji was also rated as the second hero of Lingyan Pavilion, but he was not crowned king, and Fang Mou was not crowned king. Just because in this peaceful turmoil, they have no soldiers in their hands, and they are not the generals who are in charge of the soldiers and horses of the king of Qin.

Military merit is always easier to get knighthood than other merits.

At the end of the tour, after Li Chao, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yanjin, and Su Dingfang left the palace, they rode horses and went back to Li's mansion directly.

"I heard that Your Majesty is going to make your family have two more princesses." As the eldest princess's concubine, Qin Qiong is still relatively well-informed.

"Oh, is there such a thing?" Li Chao and Qin Qiong rode side by side, but they were not too surprised when they heard this.

This time, a large number of relatives and nobles were purged, including many of Li Shimin's relatives. For example, Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, Chai Shao and other important ministers originally had sons who were married to Li Shimin's princess. But now Li Shimin has killed Xiao Yu and them, and even their son has not been spared.

The fiancés of many princesses are gone.

"Your Majesty intends to marry Princess Baling to your son and Pingyang, and Princess Sui'an to marry your fourth son."

Li Chao said that Princess Baling was originally promised to Chai Shao's second son Chai Lingwu, and Princess Sui'an was originally promised to Dou Kang's grandson Dou Kui. Both the Chai family and the Dou family were involved in the rebellion.

The marriage between the emperor and the family of the meritorious man is common. Li Shimin is the person who took this marriage to the extreme, after the Xuanwu Gate, he asked every prime minister to take a son to marry his princess. even chose the daughters of many heroes as the fiancées of their princes.

Of course, this kind of marriage also had a role, strengthening the relationship between the emperor and the meritorious officials. Of course, if you really want to rebel, the minister will also rebel. And when the emperor wants to kill, he will kill him regardless of whether he is an in-law or not.

For example, this time, Chai Shao, Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, etc. are all Li Shimin's in-laws, and they are also the opposite. And Li Shimin settled the accounts after the autumn, and he was not soft at all when he cut off people's heads, and those young prospective sons-in-law were not opened by him.

"I heard that Empress Eldest Sun is pregnant again." Qin Qiong revealed another gossip.

Li Chao glanced at Qin Qiong a few times, but he didn't expect that his father-in-law would still have a gossip heart. However, it seems that the queen's health has been almost better since she was injured last time.

Calculating the time, Empress Changsun should be pregnant with Li Zhi this time.

It's just that Li Shimin just changed Li Tai to the king of Jin, so Li Zhi can't be the king of Jin after he was born. Also, Wu Meiniang is now being beaten into a lowly status because of her father's participation in the rebellion, although Li Chao has to intercede with the emperor, reading that the child is still young and is licensed to be raised in the Li family, but her identity is no longer the daughter-in-law of the Li family but the maid of the Li family.

History is really a mess.

"Do you really want to quit?" Lao Cheng couldn't help but ask beside him.

Li Chao smiled and nodded, Li Shimin's title this time can be regarded as roasting him Li Chao on the fire.

If you are crowned a king, you will be crowned a king, and the eight kings will especially make him king. However, Li Shimin changed several of his concubines who had already been crowned princes to county kings. Even the kings of the clan were wiped out this time, and only the county prince was left at the highest.

No comparison, no harm.

In such a comparison, people all over the world must think that Li Chao, the king, is a little too special.

The only two princes of the Tang Dynasty, and he is the only prince with a different surname.

Although Li Chao clearly understands what the essence of this king is, it is a false title at all, but the people of the world will not see it this way, they will only see that the emperor has crowned Li Chao as a king, or a prince. The only prince with a different surname in the Tang Dynasty, one of the only two princes in the world.

How much the emperor trusts Li Chao and how good he is.

Li Shimin made it clear that he wanted to use this way to hang up Li Chao and roast him.

Kaifu Yi is the same as the three divisions, Shangzhu Guo, and Taifu, and the ranks are all top-level, not to mention the title of King Yue.

Now Li Chao is embarrassed to be this Shangshu Ling anymore even if he is thick-skinned, and he will be in the center again.

Fortunately, Li Chao himself doesn't care too much about this position, anyway, for Li Chao, these prime ministers in the center of the court at the moment all support the new policy and new law. With the stable implementation of the new policy and new law, then Li Chao can continue to develop his family with peace of mind, expand his business, and run his own territory.

Being the prime minister, at most, is to be a manager for Li Shimin, just an executive. But to run your own family and territory, that is, to start your own business. At the very least, it's a branch with its own stock price.

The emperor still has great restrictions on territory and feudalism, but Li Chao believes that these will not be static.

The sky was overcast.

The north wind howled.

Li Chao looked at the sky, as if a heavy snow was brewing.
