Zheng Zhen laughed, "What else can the king say directly, why do you need to be so polite, what do you say to ask for reclamation?" ”

Li Bao was a little happy when he saw Zheng Zheng so happy, and said loudly: "Presumably Zheng Yuanjun already knows about me and Yan'er." △, the two of us fell in love at first sight, and she and I have made a lifelong decision, but this matter is also requested by Zheng Zhijun. ”

Zheng Zheng listened to Li Bao's words, and he pondered for a long time. Now King Ji has a big plan, and he can't see what the future of the Zheng family will be. But from what King Ji has done over the years, it can be seen that this young clan is a rare wise and stable person.

Li Bao raised this matter, which seemed to show him that the relationship between the two was unswerving, but its essence was that Li Bao was asking the Zheng family to strengthen the alliance.

According to the traditions and customs of the five-surname family, a clan like Li Bao is not qualified to marry a high-ranking family like the Zheng family, but at present, the Tang Dynasty is in turmoil, and Li Bao has honed the army in private, such an ambitious clan is very rare.

After careful consideration, Zheng Zheng decided to agree to Li Bao's request, but he had a request, he had to wait until Li Bao had a crown ceremony before he could marry Zheng Yan.

Li Bao jumped up and down with joy when he heard this, he was happy in his heart, and he felt a lot cute when he looked at Zheng Jin, the old man, so he bowed down to Zheng Zheng and saluted again, and shouted happily: "Grandfather is above, and he is worshiped by his grandson-in-law!" ”

Zheng Zhen smiled and accepted Li Bao's salute, and then said to Li Bao: "Okay, today's matter is still a secret between the two of us, so we can't leak it first, so as not to be criticized." How is it? ”

Li Bao was very happy at this time, how could he care about these details, he left with his cheerful farewell.

Zheng Zheng watched Li Bao's figure disappear into the night, he sighed, thinking about what Li Bao said just now, will Datang really get to the point he said? Zheng Zhen didn't know, maybe the world was really changing too fast, and he couldn't adapt to it quickly.

The night is quiet and the moon is bright. Zheng Ji sat in front of the window, sighing at the breeze and moon outside the window, and after a while, a figure flashed outside the door, it was Zheng Ningji.

Zheng Ningji came to Zheng Jin's side and said in a low voice: "The night is deep, adults should rest." Don't stay up late to break your mind! ”

Zheng Ji didn't look back, and said softly: "Da Lang, King Fang Caiji is here to tell me about him and Yan'er. ”

"Your Excellency agreed?" Zheng Ningji said eagerly. "But how do the clan elders and elders explain themselves?"

Zheng Jin pondered for a while before he said: "Now this world, it is no longer the season when our five families are not able to fall together, and this world is about to become a martial artist."

The official family of the Tang Dynasty is by no means a Ming lord and a virtuous king, and now there are endless battles in the court, and it is difficult to control the feudal towns outside. No matter how strong the high-ranking officials and dignitaries of the court are, they can't be tough in the face of swords and guns. King Ji acts steadily, has longevity and patience, and this kind of heart is a rare sign of a wise king. ”

"Your Excellency, are you saying that this auspicious king has the qualifications of a holy king? But I heard that the king of Ji tried his best to shirk and refused to set up a prince, and he already had the favor of the emperor of Daxing in his hands back then, the approval of Wei Baoheng, the head of the political affairs hall, the support of the privy eunuch Tian Xiantian and the flying dragon envoy Wu Yipin and others, if he wanted to be the prince, there was still a lot of competition, but he took the initiative to refuse, isn't this suspicious? ”

It was because he took the initiative to remove the crown prince that he could show his wisdom and thoughtfulness. He understands that the current Chang'an City is just an empty city, even if he becomes the emperor, he is just a puppet in the hands of eunuchs, and no matter how much he thinks without military power in his hands, it will be in vain. Now it's different, how many things has he done in the position of the clan? Even this Fengxiang Festival envoy is operated by him, and he favors our Zheng family, not because our father and son are honest and honest. ”

Zheng Jin's words were like a big stick, which woke up Zheng Ningji's head at once, and made him figure it out, yes, this King Ji has such strategic wisdom at a young age, and he can not need the emperor's throne in his hand, so he is friendly to the Zheng family by no means because the Zheng family is a family of five surnames, and there is also the role of Yan'er.

Thinking of this, Zheng Ningji was a little disheartened, "I didn't expect that the Zheng family, one of our five dignified surnames, would have fallen to the point where it was time to rely on women to maintain the lintel." ”

"Confused!" Zheng Ji hated that iron could not be made of steel, and said to his son.

"Do you know why our family of five surnames can proudly stand up to many dynasties and not fall? On the contrary, these imperial powers have changed several times, but few have had a good end? ”

Zheng Ningji was speechless, this kind of profound question was something he had never thought about, besides, the five surnames have always been respected, but why they are respected he can't say why.

"We can stand tall not by how much money we have, not by how many people we have, not by how many acres we have. It depends on the fact that our five surnamed disciples can occupy high positions in the court continuously, so that the entire court is our people, no matter which family he is the royal prince, our five surname families don't have to be afraid. ”

"What the adults said was that a certain mouth suddenly opened. As long as we have the right to speak in the court, no matter how strong the royal family is, we have to help him implement it, as long as we implement it, then this court is what we say", Zheng Ningji said loudly.

Zheng Zheng looked at his son, he stroked his beard, nodded, and continued: "Yes, if we can control the right to speak in the imperial court, then we are not afraid of any power."

But now it is not done, the Tang Dynasty has been established for hundreds of years, but the Tang Dynasty has become a big disaster now, and the feudal towns have become a big disaster, coupled with the soldiers and bandits, and the people are all over the place. The powerful will bother to win us over so that we can be used by them, but once those rough warriors or mutinous people come to power, do you think they will take us seriously? ”

Zheng Ningji pondered his father's words carefully, and he felt a chill in his heart, these truths were really something he had never thought of. But when my father said this today, he couldn't help but be shocked.

Zheng Ningji thought about it again and again, and had to admit that his father was much more far-sighted than himself. He said humbly: "What my father taught me is that I don't think about it, and everything is up to the adults, and I won't stop King Ji from interacting with Yan'er." ”

Zheng Zheng smiled and said: "Well, but you can't indulge them too much, now they are still young, and their hearts and temperament have not yet been finalized, so I told King Ji that this matter must be kept secret first." Wait until he is an adult to let them get married, so that they can observe the situation again, and they can also observe King Ji as a person. ”

After listening to Zheng Jin's words, Zheng Ningji had to admire his father's foresight and lack of leakage. In this way, Li Bao, the king of Ji, can be encircled, and he can wait and see the situation again.

And Yan'er is the best lady of the Zheng family, and she will never worry about getting married. What the situation will be in the future, even people like my father can't grasp it, let alone the young King Ji.

Zheng Jin looked at his son's thoughtful appearance, he waited quietly for a while, and saw that his son seemed to have gained, he continued to speak: "This time King Ji came out for the training of the new army in Weizhou, you will find a reason to follow them to Weizhou tomorrow to see what the new army they are drumming up looks like."

In addition, you have to pay close attention to the workshop and manpower situation in this Weizhou city, although King Ji promised us to provide us with 300,000 yuan a year as the cost of renting Weizhou, but all he gave us are drawing paper, these drawing papers are really so useful? You should also listen to it when you go. ”

Zheng Ningji immediately nodded in agreement, and then helped his father to the bedroom to rest.

Li Baoxing happily returned to the residence of the Longmen Dart Bureau, thinking that the big things that bothered him were solved at once, and he suddenly felt relaxed.

He was happy when Xin Niang came in with a copper basin and toiletries.

Xinniang looked at Li Bao with a happy face, and she also became happy, "Why is the king so happy?" Say it and make the slave family happy. ”

Li Baoyi saw Xin Niang looking at him wistfully, and suddenly remembered that he was happy because he and Zheng Yan's marriage was approved by Zheng Jin, but if she told Xin Niang about this, she would be sad. Li Bao was a little entangled for a while, whether to tell her.

Xin Niang saw that after she asked Li Bao, Li Bao was unhappy, and she hurriedly said: "King, did the slave family say something wrong and make you unhappy, if so, please ask the king to punish the slave family." ”

Looking at the poor Xin Niang, Li Bao's heart was full of pity, thinking that he was a person from later generations, and the concept of equality in his bones was deeply rooted in the bone marrow, but Xin Niang was a person of this era, and she should be able to accept her three wives and four concubines. As long as you can treat them equally and not be biased, then you don't need to feel guilty.

After figuring out this section, the guilt and burden in Li Bao's heart were swept away, but Xin Niang was squatting in front of her at this time, ready to help her wash her feet. In addition, it was the summer scorching summer season, Xin Niang's low-cut bandeau looked down at Li Bao's position, and the deep ravine made him angry.

Li Bao hurriedly pulled up Xin Niang, let her sit on his lap, and felt Xin Niang's well-proportioned and plump skin and flesh through the thin silk clothes, he hugged Xin Niang and said: "Xin Niang, don't worry, there are many happy things, why don't we do a happier thing first, how about it?" ”

Xin Niang was held in Li Bao's arms, and she had long lost her mind, and the manly breath that Li Bao breathed had already intoxicated her. She was at a loss, she only felt that Li Bao's breathing was like a brush, and there was an itchy feeling everywhere she brushed it.

Li Bao looked at Xin Niang and didn't answer, he continued: "I heard that Xin Niang has practiced dancing since she was a child, and her muscles and bones are soft, why don't we discuss where the limits of the human body are tonight?" ”

Xin Niang was too shy to bear, so she had to reply in a low voice: "Okay! ”
