For the average person, this choice is actually not difficult at all.

What's so bad about taking refuge in the prince? In any case, the crown prince is also the most likely person to inherit the throne. Now there are decades of wealth since the dragon.

But Li Daliang is different.

This person is not greedy for money or lustful, and the only thing he likes is fame.

Honor is my life!

He was the kind of person who would rather risk his life than have his reputation damaged.

His Majesty Li Er saw this and made him the general of the Left Guard. There is also a reason for his own efforts to repay the favor.

Now, Li Daliang is facing a difficult choice.

If you insist on the reputation of "dedication to duty", you will face the infamy of "betraying friends"! If you don't "betray your friends", you will lose your reputation as "loyal to your duties".

Just as he was hesitating, there was a sudden sound of footsteps! He looked up and saw two old men walking in the distance.

One is his old wife, and the other is his savior Zhang Bi.

Li Daliang hurriedly stepped forward, bowed down and saluted, "Brother Zhang, why are you here?" ”

Zhang Bi said: "My brother and sister brought me here." Alas, you have made such a big decision, why don't you discuss it with me? You almost made a big mistake. ”

"Big brother, why did he say this!"

"You're still hiding it from me? Do you want to marry your daughter to my unscrupulous son? Li Yifu came to propose marriage, and you deliberately made it difficult for me for my son. What are the three odd dowry requests also made. Is there such a thing? ”

Li Daliang smiled bitterly: "Brother Zhang, things are not that simple. ”

"I asked you if there was such a thing? Do you answer yes or no? ”

"Well, it does. But ......"

"Nothing but!" Zhang Bi shook his head and said, "Brother Xian, what you did was a big mistake!" It's not like you to repay your kindness. ”

"I ......"

"Don't talk, listen to me first." Zhang Bi said: "You are a good person, but you are too eager to seek fame." For example, if you want to repay me, you will give away all your family property with one mouth. Do you think I can agree? After agreeing, what should you do with your wife and children? ”

Li Daliang said: "I still have Yulu." ”

"You don't have a lot of money, do you? After giving me all the family property, won't my brother-in-law and niece have to eat bran for a while? Take a step back and say, don't talk about your family, just talk about my brother. Saving someone's life requires all of people's property, isn't this reputation completely stinky? ”

"This ...... It seems that the younger brother has not thought it through, and I will apologize to you. ”

"It's not that you want to make amends, but that you can change your mistakes. And today, can I not know about my own son? What to do, what to eat, what to eat, greedy for money, lustful, and special gambling! Why is the old man so poor? It's all hurt by this kid! ”

Zhang Buchang said: "Dad, did you say that about your son?" I don't have merit? ”

"Your biggest advantage is that you have eyes, you only dare to bully honest people, I can cover it, and you haven't caused me a catastrophe! But what's the use of this? You said that you are so old and you still make trouble for me all day long, what use do I want from you? Sometimes, I can't wait to ......"

Li Daliang hurriedly said: "Old brother, stop being angry!" Calm your anger! In fact, virtuous nephews still have advantages. ”

"For example?"

"For example...... For example......" Li Daliang didn't come up with it after thinking for a long time, so he changed the topic and said: "You want to persuade me not to marry my daughter to him, right?" ”

"Of course! My virtuous niece can't jump into the fire pit. Let's put it this way, you are married on the front foot, and I will take him to the yamen on the back foot and accuse him of a crime of disobedience! Do you really want me to kill my own son? ”

Zhang Bi said this, what else could Li Daliang do? had to say: "Okay, from now on, the marriage between Ling Lang and the little girl will never be mentioned again." ”

"That's pretty much it."

Zhang Buchang was officially out, and Guo Ye hit the railway while it was hot: "Wuyang County Gong, now you have only one choice." If your daughter doesn't marry Li Yifu, who will she marry? ”

"I ...... I'll think about it again......"

Mrs. Li couldn't hold back any longer, and said, "You think about it, people have brought three dowry gifts, and you are still chirping crookedly......"

"Sir, madam, something is wrong!" At this time, the domestic servant Li Gui ran over and said, "There is a decree to arrive!" ”

"Yizhi? What is the purpose? ”

"It's the queen's will."

Li Daliang frowned tightly and said, "Our family has no contact with the queen's mother, what will she give me?" ”

"I don't know, the eunuch who delivered the decree has already arrived at the door, you should hurry up and greet you."

"Okay." Li Daliang clenched his fists and arched his hands, and said: "Everyone, Li is going to lose company."

Guo Ye's heart instinctively swelled with an ominous premonition, and said, "Then it's better for everyone to take the order together." ”

"But that Yi decree was given to me ......"

"It's okay, you just don't exist as if we don't exist. The queen's decree is not a secret order, and we are not present. ”

"That's right, let's go together."

Everyone walked out together, and after a while, they saw the eunuch who was delivering the decree. His stature was not high, and his voice was not low, and he finished reading the decree in a low voice, and then said, "Wuyang County Gong will take the decree." ”

Li Daliang was dumbfounded when he heard it, the meaning of this holy decree is very simple, give Li Jiaojiao a marriage and let her marry Zhang Buchang.

What's the matter?

He hesitated: "Minister...... Minister......"

"No orders!" Mrs. Li stood up and shouted angrily: "Why does the queen mother care about our family's affairs. My own daughter will marry whoever I say I will marry! ”

Li Jiaojiao sobbed faintly: "For the sake of my life's events, I have caused so much trouble. Could it be that I'm an ominous person? That's better than dying. ”

Li Yifu hurriedly comforted: "Jiaojiao, don't think about it, everything has me." ”

Only Zhang Buchang laughed and said: "This is called sitting at home behind closed doors, and disaster comes from the sky." Ah, no, it should be called to step on the iron shoes and find nowhere to find it! Haha, from now on, the petite lady will be mine. ”

Guo Ye and the others looked at each other, and secretly screamed in their hearts. Obviously, this is the Yin Queen's move to destroy the relationship between them and Li Daliang.

But knowing is knowing, and how to solve it?

Does the queen have the right to interfere in other people's marriages? Strictly speaking, of course, no. The empress and the emperor are enemies, the empress's territory is the harem, and everything outside the harem is under the emperor's jurisdiction. Giving marriage to the children of officials should supposedly be the power of the emperor.

But then again, because marriage is a good thing, the requirements are not so strict, and it is not uncommon for the queen to give marriage.

If Li Daliang wants to accept the order, it is not that he can't explain it - "It's not that I don't want my daughter to marry Li Yifu, it's the queen's order." If you are not convinced, go to the trouble of the Queen of Yin."

What if Li Daliang resists the decree?

Resisting the queen's first decree since she came to the throne, is it too faceless for the queen?

Besides, it's not like the queen is just looking for a cat and a dog to marry your daughter, this is one of your own candidates, it's a bit too much for you to resist the decree, right?

And, of course, the most important ones. Everyone can see that Li Daliang is very reluctant to marry his daughter to Li Yifu. That's the real thing.

Can Li Daliang withstand the pressure of the queen?

At this time, there were crying, making trouble, being silent, and laughing, and it was really a mess.

The eunuch who delivered the decree was immediately unhappy, and said, "Wuyang County Prince, what is going on?" Do you really want to resist the decree? ”

Before Li Daliang could speak, someone said loudly: "It's not that he wants to resist the order, but he can't obey the order." ”

The eunuch was stunned for a moment and said, "Who are you?" ”

"No, I will be Zhang Bi."

"Hmph, a little general, what qualifications do you have to speak here?"

"You mentioned Zhang Buchang in this edict?"

"There's such a person."

"I'm his father!"

"Uh...... All right. Just now you said that Li Daliang could not be edicted, what did you mean? ”

Zhang Bi said: "Because my son is dead." Li Jiaojiao can't marry a dead person, right? ”
