When the cold winter comes, the snow is falling, and the snowflakes are floating between the heaven and the earth like a free-spirited elf, and the small body swirls in the wind, as if it has sprinkled laughter all the way, and then throws itself into the arms of Mother Earth, like a wanderer returning home. At a different time when the first snow fell, Chang'an City also welcomed back a group of returning wanderers, wearing warm fur coats and tattered armor, and the wounds on their arms had already healed, but there was still a hideous scar. At this time, it was already very close to Chang'an City, and the towering city walls were already vivid.

Timid in his hometown, Li Kuan completely integrated into this city, and in this era of ancient winds, he also had his own roots. It was still far away, but a yellow streamer galloped from the direction of Chang'an City, and the snow along the way was directly left behind it as if it were walking on the ground. Rushing towards this army, it gasped for breath and ran for more than ten miles in one breath, which also made this big dog feel a little difficult in this snowy day. But smelling the familiar smell coming from the air, this guy's speed is not slowing down at all, this big dog has been left by Li Kuan's two maids since he grew up, with the protection of this big dog, the safety of the two girls can be regarded as a layer of protection, Li Kuan can also feel much more at ease when he is out fighting. Now that Li Kuan has returned, this big dog is like a psychic, and he runs out of the mansion of the King of Chu directly all the way to greet him.

The winter of the sixth year of Zhenguan is coming, there are many fewer enemies around the Tang Dynasty, the Western Turks and Xue Yantuo have disappeared in the long river of history, Gaochang is not far from extinction, and there are Zhaowu nine surnames, but now they are cut off by an artificially created isolation zone - the nuclear radiation area. To the northeast. Goryeo had perished, and Silla was now a representative of the Tang Dynasty. There is no major trouble in the south, although the Baiman does not seem to be very peaceful now. But he couldn't leave the vast Baiyue mountains, otherwise he would come out to find death. All that's left is to the southwest, where the towering Tibetan Plateau, where the unification of a powerful country is nearing completion. It represents the splendid culture on the plateau that is about to begin to develop, growing from bud to towering trees.

But none of this is what Li Kuan is concerned about, and the most annoying thing about him now is that he is already very old, although he is only fifteen years old, but according to Datang's algorithm. He is already an eighteen-year-old young man, and at this age it is time to start a family. So after Li Kuan came back this time, he was summoned by Li Er once, and then he was caught by Empress Changsun, in order to choose a concubine for him. Like the crown prince Li Chengqian, who had already started a family three years ago, a crown princess and a prince concubine, and now they are living a life without shame and impatience. And although Li Kuan also took his two maids into the house, there was still no shadow of the official princess. This made Empress Eldest Sun and Li Er very concerned. Because even the little fat man Li Tai has already got married.

"Erlang...... You're not too young. How's that, do you have a favorite girl? Empress Changsun summoned Li Kuan into the palace again, and for Empress Changsun, Li Kuan was also her own child. This little guy has been without a mother since he was a child. And when Li Er was young, when he was fighting in the south and the north, the children of the Qin Wangfu were no different from the children of the eldest grandson queen herself. This child, who has been very unique since childhood, has now grown up as an adult. The rest of the children got married, and those who got married got married. He was the only one left.

"Queen Mother, at this time, Erchen doesn't want to mention it for the time being!" Li Kuan has indeed not met any girl who has made him feel excited over the years. Even if it is the seventh lady of the Cui family who can be regarded as a match for him in this era, he doesn't feel much, and there are only two little girls around him who really come to his heart, these two are special existences that have slowly become accustomed to the existence of the two of them over the years, and then completely integrated into his life. If suddenly a person walks into his life like this, and wants to spend his whole life with him, he really hasn't recruited the right person.

"Erlang, it's not a matter for you to do this, now the palace is in charge of taking you a princess of Chu, as the prince of the Tang Dynasty, how can you not have a concubine!" Empress Eldest Sun made up her mind completely, and the arranged marriage was decided.

"Erchen has indeed had a girl who feels good in recent years, but she ......" Li Kuan thought about it, although he decided to be a maverick in this era, regardless of the eyes of the people around him, as a normal man, starting a family is also one of the most important things in life. A life that has never been married is incomplete, not to mention that Li Kuan himself is a guy who has been a man in two lifetimes, and the name of a bachelor in two lives also makes him feel embarrassed, so at this time, he still took the initiative to tell Queen Changsun what he wanted, and he had to get married anyway, so why not find someone who could make him look satisfied.

"Really interested in someone? Which girl? As long as the girl's family background is good, it is not impossible to ......! "Empress Changsun is interested, no matter what era a woman is, no matter what her identity is, as long as she is a woman, then she will inevitably have the attribute of gossip.

"This ......" Li Kuan is still a little embarrassed, after all, this is the first time in two lifetimes, although his current family background can be described as unparalleled in the world, but it seems that the royal family has not been very affordable for big families such as Qinghe Cui. Even though the influence of these families has been vigorously suppressed by Li Er, the so-called pride in their hearts has always supported them to continue to appreciate themselves.

"Why, I'm still embarrassed, could it be that the woman's family background is poor? Erlang, you shouldn't be the daughter of a businessman's family, right? "In this era, the status of businessmen is low, and it is one of the most despised professions. Therefore, in the Zhenguan law, there is even a clause that the heirs of the Shangjia family cannot be examined within three generations. So seeing Li Kuan's twisting and twisting made Empress Changsun feel a little bad premonition, although the Li Tang royal family is quite enlightened and doesn't care much about the concept of being a good person, but if Li Kuan really marries the daughter of a businessman, it will inevitably be a joke.

"Not really, it's just her home, it's the famous Qinghe Cui family!" Li Kuan finally said it.

"What, Qinghe Cui?" Li Kuan's words made Empress Changsun completely shocked, Qinghe Cui is the head of the five surnames and seven wangs of the Tang Dynasty, but they regard themselves as orthodox Han blood, and they have always been not very friendly to the Tang royal family with Hu blood. Therefore, the several big families led by the Qinghe Cui family are not interested in the marriage with the royal family at all, and even if Li Er's holy decree goes down, they will be shirked by them in every possible way.

"This is not easy to do, Qinghe Cui is not an ordinary family!" Empress Changsun looked embarrassed, how could this guy fall in love with the daughter of the Cui family, you must know that this daughter of the Cui family can even marry a scholar from a cold family, and she will not marry a prince of the royal family. This was announced by Cui Jing, the patriarch of the Cui clan in Qinghe, in front of many clansmen at a clan meeting of the Cui family two years ago, and the city was full of turmoil at that time, and the contradictions between the royal family and the family were completely intensified after that.

"Anyway, the current family is not the original five surnames and seven hopes, whether to marry the royal family or not, it is not up to them to decide!" Li Kuan didn't have much scruples.

"Since Erlang you have a favorite woman, then as the queen mother, I will definitely give you this family business!" Empress Changsun thought about it for a while, and said confidently, as the mother of the Tang Dynasty and the woman of the world, although this kind of thing is a little difficult for her, it is not impossible to complete, at least, the current Tang family is much smaller under the invisible influence, and the implementation of the Tang imperial examination has broken the family's monopoly on certain classes, and has invisibly won the support of countless scholars from poor families, breaking the family's sense of superiority in clamping down on the imperial court.

"Then Erchen will wait for the good news of the queen mother!" Li Kuan doesn't understand anything about courting for marriage, especially in this era of unusually many red tapes, these things are one thing that will suffocate him, and it is impossible to have the eldest grandson queen to help him handle it.

The day after Li Kuan and Empress Changsun discussed, a holy decree was passed out from the Lizheng Palace, and Li Kuan, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, was going to choose a concubine. This holy decree can be said to be the most absurd holy decree of Li Erxia, and it is also the most domineering holy decree. This point Li Er seems to be very domineering, but it makes the civil and military officials above the court feel very puzzled and puzzled. Doing so will undoubtedly anger the five surnames and seven hopes, but why is there such a relief?

"The emperor is undoubtedly sending a message to the five surnames and seven hopes, either die or surrender to me. It seems that the emperor is going to completely solve the problem of the family, so we nobles should also be careful, after all, if we pass it on, we will be a new family in the future! The far-sighted minister returned home and thought about it. They speculate about the holy will every day, so they think about what will bring the impact of this on the overall interests of the Tang Empire, so that it is in line with the starting point of Li Er, the holy monarch, but who knows that all this is actually Empress Changsun blowing the pillow wind in Li Er's ears and wanting to find a daughter-in-law for Li Kuan.

The five surnames and seven hopes who received such a holy decree were all angry and their lungs exploded. The heads of these great families are all old foxes with calm minds and deep as the sea, but when they received this holy decree, they all changed their faces, and their whole faces turned red in an instant, and they no longer had the kind of pampered and humiliated look they used to have, all of them were like cats whose tails had been stepped on, and they almost jumped to scold their mothers on the spot, but the current situation made them have to be convinced, and they took this holy decree with gloomy faces one by one.
