Volume 12 Complete Closure Chapter 10 Marriage Proposal
Time is the sand between your fingers, just like that, even if you use all your strength, but you still can't grasp it, it will always slip between your fingers. In the winter of the sixth year of Zhenguan, the Tang Dynasty was peaceful, there was no smoke of war, and there were no hungry people caused by hunger and cold, the entire Central Plains was peaceful, there was no snow disaster and no flood this year, even if in the period from early summer to late autumn, there was a war between the Tang Dynasty and Xue Yantuo that was not a war, and it was over quickly, and there were no these annoying aliens on the grassland.
In this cold winter with snowflakes from time to time, a little girl comes into contact with the darkest side of the world, when she is bullied by her brother, a heroic figure rescues her, but takes her to another world she has never touched. There is still such a group of people in this world, they are full of their own ambitions, in order to live in the sun and prove their thoughts. This is a group of martyrs, they are not afraid of sacrifice, especially when she learned that this group of people did not hesitate to harm themselves for their ideals, just to pursue the so-called inheritance treasure that wandered in the palace, she was completely stunned, this is a group of crazy people, but it also made her feel admired, such a group of people completely changed her understanding, so the seed in her heart continued to germinate, one day can grow into a towering tree.
Time passed, the snow turned into snow in this way, and spring came. Li Kuan stayed in Chang'an City and had nothing to do, he didn't care about the affairs of the court, and he didn't bother with the affairs of the army. I stay in my own mansion every day, and I live a very regular boxing routine. Eat, sleep. The whole thing is a rhythm of eating and waiting for death. It's just that no one knows how many times he has been in and out of Chang'an City during this time. Each time it is unusual, and there are many things that may not be used for a lifetime, but they may come in handy at some point in the future.
Li Kuan still didn't hand over the formula of gunpowder, and he was still reluctant to let go of this kind of big killing weapon completely, because now there are not no people in the court who are hostile to him, on the contrary, there are many people who wish he would die directly tomorrow, just because Li Kuan has sat down all these years, although not many people know. But all of them were seen by Li Er in his eyes and remembered in his heart. The emperor's mind technique is not something that ordinary people can understand, when the dust will settle completely, and when will it be at ease. Therefore, if Li Kuan handed over this thing, then it would not give the enemy a big chance, and this explosive would not recognize him. Only when Li Kuan feels that he can really have the power of self-preservation, or that he is no longer regarded as a thorn in the flesh, can he completely let go of this rein.
In any case, there is only one thing that Li Kuan has to worry about now - he should start a family, this matter Empress Changsun has already urged many times, and each time it was blocked by Li Kuan in the cold winter. But now that the time has come to early spring, this season when the grass grows and the warbler flies, and I finally have to face this thing. After dragging on this matter for a long time, there is really no room for concessions. But before that, there was another obstacle, that is, the Qinghe Choi clan was very disdainful of marrying the royal family. In their eyes, the royal Li family is nothing more than the blood of the Hu people, how can they be worthy of their authentic Han descendants. So if you can't get around this bend, then it's all in vain. It's like Li Er once invited Mr. Yan Zhitui to give his son a lip. As a result, he was ruthlessly rejected. This is also an indescribable injury to the opinions of the Li Tang royal family, and even makes Li Er angry behind his back. He even threatened to send troops to destroy these Tianshenu.
"Erlang, you talk about it. There are so many young ladies in this Tang Dynasty, which one is not good, but I just look at the young lady of the Cui family in Qinghe? It's not that you don't know the stinky temper of the Qinghe Cui clan, and your father and emperor can't do anything about them! Did you really slaughter them all? Empress Changsun persuaded Li Kuan bitterly, in addition to Li Kuan's prevarication this winter, Empress Changsun was not idle, she had already sent someone to Qinghe to propose to the Cui family. But there has been no progress, which is why Empress Eldest Sun has not been persecuted too much. But now that it has been so long, Qinghe Cui's clan is still stubborn and does not let go at all, which makes Empress Changsun give up this goal that Li Kuan has always insisted on. Now he is obviously doing Li Kuan's work, so that he should stop insisting on that girl from the Cui family.
"Queen Mother, of course the retainers know this, but there is no one in the world who is more suitable for the retainer than her!" Li Kuan knows his own family affairs, although he now completely regards himself as a Tang Dynasty, but in the deepest part of his heart, he still hopes that one day he can return to his own world, and he will go to the world that is full of pollution, but he has always dreamed of it, where although he is just a small people, but he has his endless memories, and the person who makes him the most affectionate. That's why he kept staring at Cui Yufei, the seventh lady of the Cui family, and didn't let go, because he didn't know when he would dream of that world in his dreams, and then talk in his dreams or something. If you want to keep one of your biggest secrets, then you can only find someone who is not afraid of divulging, and only that person in this world is the most suitable.
"You! What a dead brain, stubborn to death! "Empress Changsun also has no choice, the Qinghe Cui clan doesn't even dare to do it, it's not that they can't kill them, but these people represent the clans of the world, once one is moved, then the countless families who occupy various places in the world will be completely cold, and then the whole world will be scattered. There is no doubt that the Tang Dynasty will become the second former Sui, even if there are not a few children of the family in Chang'an City now, all of them are the new nobles of the noble family. But this does not mean that the influence of the family has really faded out of the court, because although the direct family has withdrawn, the interest groups representing the interests of the family have always existed, but the various wills implemented by Li Er have not been blatantly resisted as before.
All the officials of the DPRK and China can see all this clearly, and Empress Changsun also knows it. That's why he tolerated like this, and even came to persuade Li Kuan. But all this is not a problem in Li Kuan's eyes, because there has never been a distinction between Han and Hu in his eyes.
"Queen Mother, let Erchen do all this by himself, rest assured that Erchen will leave as soon as possible!" Li Kuan prepared some things, and he believed that with these things, even if the Qinghe Cui family was a thousand-year-old family, he would not be able to stop it.
"That'...... All right! Erlang has his own idea, and the palace will not interfere, but if the Qinghe Cui clan really doesn't know what to do, I hope that Erlang will be more patient for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, and don't let the Tang Dynasty fall into a split situation for the sake of a moment! These times are still too influential. Empress Changsun seemed to say this as if she was talking to herself before leaving, but she passed on a message, but Li Kuan didn't have much interest in this news at all. Datang wants to reduce the influence of the family again, so what.
In March, it is the season when the grass grows and the warbler flies in the south of the Yangtze River, and the endless spring is spreading on the earth, and the mountains in the distance have been covered with greenery, which looks lush. A huge team pulled out of Chang'an City, the tone of the whole team is only one color, that is, the auspicious red, countless attendants blow and blow, all the way out of Chang'an City with joy, the long team pulled out of the distance, but it does not seem to be dragged at all, everyone is neatly aligned, rows of carriages are tied with red silk, pulling a cart of dowry out of Chang'an City.
"Whose greeting party is this? So magnificent! "The people in Chang'an City felt very strange when they saw this team, such a team is not something that ordinary people can afford, it is full of hundreds of people, nearly a thousand horses, dozens of carriages, which can be described as extremely luxurious. During this time, I have not heard of any wealthy families in Chang'an City who want to marry a newcomer. So these people speculated, but none of them were reliable.
It's no wonder that these people can't guess, because what kind of place is this, it's Chang'an, thousands of miles away from Qinghe County, where the Qinghe Cui clan is located, who has ever seen that the welcoming team will walk so far to pick up the bride? So no one thought that this was the team of Li Kuan, the king of Chu in the Tang Dynasty, to marry the princess of Chu, and the woman would actually be the pearl of the Cui family of Qinghe. Welcoming relatives thousands of miles apart can really be regarded as extravagant and wasteful, and it can even be said to be madness.
Li Kuan has not appeared yet, it stands to reason that the welcoming team has set off, and Li Kuan, as the groom's official, should appear at the front of this team, but Li Kuan really can't pull out now, and the place where he is now is in the Cui clan in Qinghe. During this time, Li Kuan could be said to be racking his brains and didn't know what to do, the Qinghe Cui family looked down on the royal bloodline, but they had to maintain a superficial harmony, so they raised a difficult problem: like the Xingyang Zheng family, he set a family affair for the seventh lady of the Cui family, which became a bigger obstacle for Li Kuan.
And Cui Yufei, who should be the person who knows Li Kuan best, didn't know what he was thinking, so he agreed, and completely fell into a dead end. Li Kuan hurriedly came from Chang'an after knowing about this matter, and even the plan he had made before did not have time to explain the change, so that a huge welcoming team would sail out of Chang'an City. In this huge convoy, Li Kuan's carefully prepared dowry also set off together.
"What the hell is going on?" Cheongha-gun, Choi's mansion. Li Kuan's figure appeared in the embroidery building in the small courtyard at the beginning, which was the boudoir of the seventh lady of the Cui family in Qinghe. Here he saw his fellow at the same time, and couldn't help but ask.
"What's going on?" Cui Yufei was dressed in white like a feather, and the whole person was like an empty valley orchid, and said in a faint ethereal voice.
"You know for yourself, why?" Li Kuan's face turned cold directly. (To be continued......)
