Chapter 25: Little Girl
People are very fickle, and when Li Chengzong woke up, he found that this was a great thing. Pei Lin is Li Yuan's hardcore, looking at the Tang Dynasty, is there anyone who has a more sacred heart than Pei Lian? If he marries his daughter, the court can be said to be worry-free. After making up his mind, Li Chengzong decided to go back to Chang'an and personally go to Pei Lian's mansion, and sincerity and attitude still need to be there.
Dressed lightly, the eight hundred Jin king's personal soldiers were dressed in cuirasses, helmets, blood-red cloaks, and spears.
All the way to Chang'an, it was very calm, but when he entered the city, he met Li Shimin, the king of Qin. The two teams looked at each other close at hand, and neither of them wanted to give up a step.
Li Chengzong was hesitating whether to take a step back and let Li Shimin enter the city first. But Li Yuanji had already stepped out of the carriage and yelled at Li Shimin.
"Get out of the way, have you forgotten the truth of the elder and the young?" Li Yuanji is not afraid that Li Shimin will kill him, after all, the people under Li Chengzong are not only dressed beautifully, but they will not suffer a loss when they fight.
It really disgusted Li Shimin, and when he saw Li Yuanji's appearance of not knowing whether he was alive or dead, he hated to chop him with a knife.
"Enter the city" Li Shimin directly ordered to go to the city. But Xue Wanche didn't allow it, he rode his horse and stopped in front.
"Get out of here, you dare to stop this king?"
"What a big temper, Second Uncle Qin." Li Chengzong saw that Li Shimin was about to enter the city without saying a word, and he didn't give himself face. Then he rode up from behind.
"Get out of the way of your men, or else..."
"How else? If you have the ability, kill him. You don't scare this king, tell you Second Uncle Don't think I'm afraid of you. Li Chengzong did not show weakness, he couldn't lose face at this time and lose the upper hand.
"Well said!" Li Yuanji fanned the wind on the side, wishing that these two people would fight, that would be lively.
The two teams were in such a stalemate, and there were more and more people around them, and it seemed that they were out of control.
"Do it!" Li Chengzong shouted in his heart, if you dare to do it, I will dare to send you to the ladder of heaven with an explosive bag. It's a hundred, and it will save you trouble in the future.
"The holy decree has arrived, Li Shimin, the king of Xuanqin, and Li Chengzong, the king of Jin, will enter the palace to see them." The messenger was still far away from the city gate, so he began to shout, for fear that a little later, these two powerful princes really fought.
Come late and let me blow up this bastard, Li Chengzong couldn't help but curse.
Li Yuan scolded the two of them in the palace, saying that it was embarrassing and royal prestige, it was all useless nonsense. Just say it, these two people are as unresponsive as if they were deaf, and they look like they are submissive.
After scolding, Li Yuan didn't want to keep them for dinner, so he sent them back.
Li Chengzong walked out, went out of the palace gate, and first went to Xiao Yu's mansion and asked about Pei Lone's daughter.
"What does King Jin mean?" Xiao Yu asked knowingly, if Li Chengzong didn't have that mind, he wouldn't come here to inquire. Of course, Xiao Yu is also willing to marry Li Chengzong's daughter Pei Lian, so that Li Chengzong's ascension to the throne will have another layer of protection, which is not harmful to himself.
"Tomorrow I will go to the palace to find the imperial grandfather to ask for marriage, if it weren't for the bad luck today I met the king of Qin at the city gate, and then I was called into the palace by the imperial grandfather and scolded him. The king may have done this today. Li Chengzong said as if he had been wronged.
Xiao Yu said with a smile: "It is natural to let His Majesty give marriage, but King Jin should go to Pei Lian's Mansion today and pay a visit."
"What the father-in-law said is reasonable, but the king came back in a hurry this time, and he didn't bring anything except a congratulatory gift to the emperor's grandfather. It's okay on weekdays, but now the situation is different, I'm afraid it's not very good to come to the door empty-handed!"
"It's useless for King Jin to look at me, there is nothing in the old minister's house that can make Pei Lin look good." Xiao Yu thought to himself, don't pretend to be garlic, you want to beat the old man's idea, take advantage of the old man, no way.
It's so wronged, Li Chengzong really didn't tell a lie this time, which is sad for him. With whom to borrow some help? There are not very few people who can talk to Li Chengzong, but if it is said that there are few ministers and nobles who have a relationship with Li Chengzong. And the richest of them happened to be helped by Li Chengzong.
"Chai Shao!" Li Chengzong blurted out.
Xiao Yu was puzzled and asked, "King Jin said that Chai Shao doesn't know what he meant?"
"It's okay, isn't this someone you want to borrow something nice to take to visit Master Pei Lone!"
"Yes, yes, King Jin, you helped him become the general of the Right Wuwei, and I think Chai Shao will not agree." Xiao Yu said.
Li Chengzong went out of Xiao Mansion and rushed all the way to Princess Pingyang's Mansion, seeing that it was not early, he couldn't go again after dark!
When he arrived at the door, Li Chengzong didn't wait for anyone to report and went straight inside, and shouted: "Auntie, Aunt Pingyang!"
Li Xiuning was in the backyard, and he heard it from afar, so I could imagine how loud he shouted.
"Shout what? A dignified prince, there is no more etiquette to talk about. ”
"Isn't King Jin kissing you, how can you say that about him." Chai Shao said busily on the side.
Li Xiuning ignored Chai Shao, and then said: "I just had a fight with your second uncle at the city gate, didn't you come here to spend money to ask me for help?" I'll tell you, how much money your aunt and I won't go to muddy waters. ”
"Alas, what money is not money, do I still need to talk about money with my aunt?"
"That's right, that's right." Chai Shao has the heart to tie up Li Chengzong, and the business of the Chai family is not small, but who doesn't know that the most profitable business is in Dunhuang now. Money is still a trivial matter, but the man in front of him is a person who has great hopes of becoming an emperor, which is a big thing.
"What the hell are you doing?" Li Xiuning knew that Li Chengzong would not come to the door if it was okay.
"Well, it's not a big deal, it's just..."
"Swallow and spit out, when did our King Jin become so twisted?"
Li Chengzong said embarrassedly: "I want to borrow something and give it to Pei Lian."
"What did you say?" Li Xiuning thought that he had heard the errand.
"Borrow something and give it to Pei Lian." Lee Seung-jong repeated.
Li Xiuning said: "Why are you sending him something?" You, King Jin, aren't so stupid as to blatantly entrap the ministers of the court?"
"What a cage. I want to marry his daughter. ”
Li Xiuning frowned, and said in a deep voice: "No wonder, my father wanted to marry him a few days ago, but Pei Lin didn't agree. It turned out that I had hooked up with you a long time ago and climbed the big tree of your Jin King. ”
"What marriage? To whom?" Li Xiuning's words made Li Chengzong confused.
"Li Yuanjing, the son of Concubine Mo, your sixth uncle."
Li Chengzong said: "When did a sixth uncle come out?" Can't blame him, he hasn't been in Chang'an City for a few days, where can he recognize so many people, let alone remember.
"What do you say, your sixth uncle is your sixth uncle."
Chai Shao said: "Don't talk about this, King Jin will come with me, let's transfer a few good things."
Li Xiuning said: "No, give him something, can you still explain this clearly?"
Chai Shao said: "Say what clearly? Isn't it just something from our family to King Jin, what I can't understand. ”
If it weren't for Li Chengzong right in front of him, Li Xiuning really wanted to scold Chai Shao. Pei Lin married his daughter to Li Chengzong, obviously intending to move closer to Li Chengzong, which was against King Qin. You are helping Li Chengzong at this time, not to offend Li Shimin obviously. But Chai Shao has his own thoughts, if Pei Lin and Li Chengzong really become Weng sons-in-law, who else is stronger than them in the court inside and outside the Tang Dynasty? Li Chengzong obviously has a lot of chances of winning, and the so-called five-year covenant is just a delaying tactic. Chai Shao never believed that Li Shimin and Li Chengzong could defeat Jieli Khan in such a short time.
Li Xiuning couldn't persuade Chai Shao, but Li Chengzong still picked up a lot of good things from the treasury.
When it was time to leave, Li Chengzong smiled and said, "Thank you uncle, I'll go first."
Li Xiuning waited for Li Chengzong to go away.
"You know that you have offended the second brother, and you still want to help him?"
"What a great opportunity? Besides, if the King of Jin doesn't take these belongings from us, won't he be able to get them elsewhere? If you don't give it to him, you won't make King Qin angry, but do you wonder if King Jin will be annoyed? offended Li Chengzong, it was not good. ”
Li Xiuning said: "I am his aunt, what does he dare to do to me."
"Don't talk angry, King Jin has always been respectful to you, and that's now. He is still the king of Jin, think about it, wait for him to become an emperor from the king of Jin. "Chai Shao is also really tired, living in a group of royal nobles.
Li Chengzong was in a hurry, but he still didn't catch up with the day.
After waiting for a day, Pei Lin is more tired than Li Chengzong. The heart said where did Li Chengzong go, did he not intend to be his son-in-law? muttering in his mouth, Li Chengzong has just arrived.
"I should have come to visit earlier, but it was rude."
Pei Lin smiled: "It's okay, it's good that King Jin is here."
"This, Master Pei should also know why this king is here. I won't be verbose, tomorrow I will go to the emperor's grandfather to ask him to marry, and when the king leaves Chang'an, he will have to do this and tie the knot. ”
"Bang", the little maid who came up with the tea actually dropped the cup.
"What's going on, hurry down." Pei Lin scolded.
Li Chengzong looked at this little girl, his face was aggrieved, and the corners of his mouth were still pouting, which was very cute.
"It's just a trivial matter, why should Master Pei be angry."
The little maid looked at it, and Li Chengzong silently picked up the cup on the ground.
"Alas!"
Pei Lin saw that the little girl's fingers were cut, and she wanted to sit up but sat back again.
"Hurry up and go out and rinse it with water, what do you say is that you little girl is so careless, if you are in this palace, you have to be cleaned up by Zhu Bajie."
The little girl looked at Li Chengzong and said curiously: "Who is Zhu Bajie?" Why should you clean me up?"
"Zhu Bajie is... Why do you ask so much? Hurry up and wash your wounds. Li Chengzong also felt that he was talking too much, why did he talk so much to a little girl.
"Get out of here." Pei Lianna also spoke.
"Then I said, Master Pei. Do you think this proposal will work?"
"A few days ago, His Majesty proposed a marriage to me, but I politely declined."
Li Chengzong said: "I know this, Aunt Pingyang told me."
"Since King Jin knows, then you should also guess that Your Majesty will not be able to agree to King Jin's request so easily."
"No, it won't! With such a trivial matter, can the imperial grandfather still hold a grudge?"
Pei Lin said helplessly: "The sacred heart is unpredictable!"
Li Chengzong said: "It's okay, it won't affect if you don't give marriage, you just agree."
"It's better for Your Majesty to give you a marriage."
You old fellow, you are the one who said that you can't get married, and you are the one who wants to give marriage, what do you want to do?
"What does Master Pei mean?" Li Chengzong was a little anxious.
"Can King Jin think of a way, such as letting Concubine Wan go to His Majesty to ask for a favor?"
Li Chengzong said: "Yes, yes, but in the front, if you can't give marriage, this marriage can't be unmarried."
"Good," replied Pei Lian.
While the two were talking, the little girl came in with tea again, this time it was steady.
"King Jin, please use tea."
Li Chengzong said casually: "Don't drink it, this king hasn't eaten yet, so I'll leave first."
The little girl pouted, that means I finally brought the tea, do you dare not drink it?
Pei Lin said on the side: "I asked people to prepare some wine and food for King Jin, and it's not too late to leave after eating."
"Okay!" Saved another meal, Li Chengzong thought to himself.
Li Chengzong was eating, and Pei Lin and his family came to watch, which made him very embarrassed.
After eating a few bites indiscriminately, Li Chengzong just wanted to leave quickly, who knew that he was persuaded by Pei Lin to say goodbye several times.
"The old minister accompanies King Jin to drink a few cups, don't worry."
As soon as you think about it, drink it, it's not appropriate to go now.
Who knows this drink...
It is not easy for newcomers, and I would like to ask you to support and recommend more.
