Chapter 55: The Marquis of Changxin

Chapter 55 Chang Xinhou

"Your Highness, the Marquis of Changxin asks to see you." In the Yue Wang's Mansion, Li Zhen was lying comfortably on the waterbed and playing with the two little cute babies, and Xiaofuzi approached to report: "With him came the county lord of Changxin and his two-year-old daughter. ”

"Cut, it's trying to marry me again." Li Zhenzheng was holding Li Huang high, and said disdainfully when he heard this: "How many waves is this?" If this king agrees to come down, then my family Huang'er won't worry about his wife in this life - don't you say, Huang'er? ”

"Ahhh~" Li Huang couldn't speak yet, but he was happy to be lifted by Li Zhen, so he unconsciously 'ah' twice, and his saliva was dripping, almost dripping onto Li Zhen's face.

"Even if it is not settled now, His Royal Highness King Xing is not worried, it is said that the emperor's daughter is not worried about marrying, but why is the emperor's grandson worried that no one will marry?" Xiaofuzi saw Li Zhen's joy playing, and catered to him: "But the slave maid also saw that the girl of Changxinhou's family is indeed a beautiful embryo, and I heard that Changxinhou once asked someone to approve his daughter's fate, and the fortune teller said that this woman has the appearance of a princess, which is unspeakably expensive." ”

"A mere fortune teller, saying two good and obedient words, he is still serious?" Li Zhen was even more disdainful when he heard it, this fortune teller was obviously fooling him, it is indescribable that there are only two kinds of people who can use it, one is the emperor, the other is the queen, and a princess dares to use this title? Changxin Hou is crazy, right?

"Then does His Highness see this person?" Xiaofuzi asked again.

"The words of the Marquis of Changxin...... If you see it, you can ask him to wait in the living room for a while, and this king will go over after changing his clothes. Li Zhen got up helplessly, handed over the two cute babies to the nurse, and under the service of the maid, put on the clothes, and then walked to the living room.

This is the seventh day he has returned to Chang'an, since he returned to Chang'an on the first day, the guests who came to visit basically have not been interrupted, the first few days are some big people, such as Li Zhen's brothers, the princes in the royal family, and the princes who have made great contributions to the construction of the Tang Dynasty.

After the visits of those big shots, it was the turn of the next little shrimp to visit, and Li Zhen had some time to rest. For such characters, Li Zhen is generally visible or invisible, when she is in a good mood, she comes out to see her, and when she is in a bad mood, she directly sends it away casually with a reason of poor health.

However, this Marquis of Changxin is unusual, Marquis Changxin's name is Li Mingchang, he is not from the royal family, nor is he from any family, he is just surnamed Li - and as an ordinary person, mixed with the title of Marquis of Changxin, this is certainly not a simple person, in fact, he is indeed not simple.

Li Mingchang was also a fierce general back then, with excellent martial arts, maybe not the opponent of Qin Qiong and Wei Chi Jingde, but there was no problem with Cheng Biting Jin to fight a tie, and among the fierce generals in the early Tang Dynasty, it was enough to rank in the top twenty.

He once followed Li Yuan to fight the world, saved Li Yuan's life twice, and blocked the knife for Li Shimin once, which can be regarded as a great achievement.

It stands to reason that for such a meritorious hero, it is not a problem at all to make him a prince, however......

It's a pity that in the race for the throne, Li Mingchang stood on the wrong team.

When Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng competed for the throne, Li Mingchang unswervingly stood on Li Jiancheng's side, and helped Li Jiancheng to suppress Li Shimin fiercely.

So after Li Shimin launched the Xuanwumen Revolution and killed Li Jiancheng to take the throne, almost all the important ministers of Li Jiancheng's family were suppressed desperately, and only Wei Zheng and Li Mingchang were lucky enough to escape the catastrophe - Wei Zheng was alive because of his strong ability, and the country is indispensable for such people.

And the reason why Li Mingchang can live is because he saved Li Shimin's life, plus Li Jiancheng and his family were killed by him, even if there is a Li Mingchang left, he can't make any waves, and he can still get a good reputation for gratitude, why not?

Later, in order to show his magnanimity, Li Shimin not only married his cousin Changxin County Lord to him, but also canonized him as the Marquis of Changxin - of course, there was no lack of insults to him, because before him, the previous Marquis of Changxin was called Liu Yi, and the previous Marquis of Changxin was called Chang Yu...... Except for the two of them, there are very few titles in history such as Marquis Changxin.

All in all, although he was suppressed by Li Shimin in various ways, it is undeniable that this is definitely a big bull, if he is not on the wrong team, a national prince is indispensable.

It's a bit strange that he actually came to visit him today - you must know that although Li Shimin didn't kill him, did he let him go, and there were a lot of secret agents inside and outside the Changxin Marquis' Mansion, so on weekdays, Changxin Hou is basically the kind of person who doesn't go out of the door, except for ancestor worship or other major events, he rarely goes out of the house, how could he think of visiting himself today?

"I've seen my aunt, I've seen my uncle." Li Zhen has never seen Li Mingchang, because he rarely comes out and walks around, and even if he does, he is a little transparent, and no one will pay attention to him if he doesn't speak. However, the county lord of Changxin is more lively, at least in a few gatherings within the royal family, Li Zhen has met a few times.

"The minister has seen His Highness." When Li Mingchang saw Li Zhen, he bowed down, but the county lord of Changxin didn't say anything, just looked at Li Zhen with a smile.

"Uncle is exempt from courtesy, this is really tormenting Li Zhen, it should be Li Zhen who salutes you, where can you be so polite?" Li Zhen hurriedly helped him and the county lord of Changxin up, he can't deserve this ceremony, the county lord of Changxin is Li Shimin's cousin, according to the seniority, Li Zhen is going to call his aunt, Li Mingchang married the county lord of Changxin, that is naturally his uncle, is Li Zhen's elder, how can there be a reason for the elders to salute the younger generations? If this matter spreads today, I am afraid that Li Zhen will face those old scholars and defenders again.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Li Mingchang was not polite, and stood up.

Li Zhen had the kung fu to look at Li Mingchang.

But Li Mingchang gave him a little ...... How so?

Li Zhen felt disappointed.

In his impression, Li Mingchang, as a generation of fierce generals, should at least be like Qin Qiong, even if he is not big-shouldered and round-waisted, he should be full of energy.

However, the current Li Mingchang brings Li Zhen the feeling of being an ordinary old peasant.

You must know that Li Mingchang is only in his forties, but his hair has lost a little green silk, his face is full of wrinkles that can trap mosquitoes, his eyes are cloudy, and the whole person sits there, looking dull, without the demeanor of a general.

However, Li Zhen thought about it, and estimated that the reason why Li Mingchang became like this should also be because Li Shimin forced him, on the contrary, if he is not like this, it is definitely a dead end - Li Shimin will never allow an enemy who may threaten his status to exist, even if this person is his savior.

"Is there something wrong with my uncle?"

"This ......" Li Mingchang was a little embarrassed.

"It's all my own people here, uncle, but it's okay to talk about it." Li Zhen comforted when she saw this.

"Well, actually, ......"
