As the New Year approaches day by day, the day of Li Qing's wedding is getting closer and closer, and the festive colors in the busy Dingzhou city are getting stronger and stronger.

For Li Qing's negligence, the old official of the Ministry of Rites, who had a white beard, was extremely dissatisfied, and found Li Qing to teach Li Qing a lesson, "The former saint follows the way of heaven and pole, and it is no greater than courtesy; The book of the post-saint and the establishment of the religion does not precede the ceremony. Three hundred etiquette, three thousand prestige, which is not the place of spiritual art, so it can be in the same festival with heaven and earth......" Facing Li Huizhi's half-truth, as if angry and laughing at the reprimand, listening to the tongue twister-like etiquette, Li Qing's head was big, and he immediately surrendered. "Uncle, needless to say, I know it's wrong, I promise to listen carefully to this old man's story, and I won't be rude."

Li Huizhi was very satisfied, and immediately turned around and said: "That's all for today's etiquette talk, I still have some details about the big wedding to discuss with Li Shuai, you go down first!" ”

The white-bearded old man got quite a sense of satisfaction from Li Huizhi, and left with satisfaction, looking at the rickety back, Li Qing cried bitterly, "Uncle, this is too troublesome, my subordinates also have a lot of newly married, and there are so many complicated rules and regulations." ”

Li Huizhi smiled: "Is this still troublesome? Qingfeng, this is still because you are at the border pass, and it is in wartime, if you are in Luoyang or Yizhou, it is ten times more troublesome than this, don't forget, you are the son of the Li family, the lord of Dingzhou, and you are still married to a princess, your subordinate? As for those generals and officials who were born in poor people, how many of them know etiquette? ”

Li Huizhi did not shy away from laughing at Li Qing's general, which made Li Qing very unhappy, perhaps because he noticed Li Qing's face, Li Huizhi smiled and said: "Candle night in the cave room, when the title of the gold list is titled, the two great pleasures of men, but Qing'er, for those of us from the family, these two are not any pleasures, especially the first one, do you know how to spend the candle night in the uncle's cave room?" ”

Li Qingha sighed, and said with a strange smile: "Uncle, I can't ask about this, right?" ”

Li Huizhi laughed, "When I got married, just those tedious rituals were carried out for several days, these days, I was like a marionette being fiddled with, exhausted, physically and mentally exhausted, and I slept like a dead pig in the cave room at night, and I didn't feel any joy in the slightest!" ”

Li Qing couldn't help laughing, but he couldn't imagine that Li Huizhi still had such a humorous side.

"But Qing'er, although these things are tiring, they have to be done, because he is made for others to see, it is your face, it is the face of the family, especially you, and it is also about the face of the royal family. Therefore, these gifts cannot be abolished, I looked at Lu Yiming's budget list, it is not enough! ”

"What?" Li Qing looked at Li Huizhi incredulously, "Second uncle, for this wedding, I prepared 50,000 taels of silver is not enough, plus it took nearly 100,000 taels to build the Zhenxi Houfu, which is 150,000 taels, how many Kai armor, arrows, spears and knives can I make with so much silver!" ”

Li Huizhi laughed, "Don't be sloppy with me, your 50,000 taels of silver includes the current consumption of the princess outside the city, how much silver will be used in a day for thousands of people to eat, drink and Lazar, and by the day of your wedding, how much is left of these 50,000 taels?" ”

Li Qing had a bitter face and said: "Second uncle, there is really no silver, you also know, now we are fighting in Dingzhou, every time we spend money like flowing water, the finances are really tight, besides, as the commander of Dingzhou, the people under my rule are said to pay off the hardships very much, and spend a lot of money to hold a wedding, isn't this scolded?" ”

Li Huizhi looked at Li Qing intently, making Li Qing feel extremely uncomfortable, "Second uncle, there is really no money!" ”

"It seems that the old man is really accurate!" Li Huizhi smiled, "I know that you won't spend this money, it's just that I wanted to hide this money, but it seems impossible!" He took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms and said with a smile: "This is what the old man gave you." ”

Li Qing took it, roughly counted, there were 200,000 taels, and he was overjoyed, "I knew that there was so much silver, what am I doing so thrifty, second uncle, I will repair a book when I go back, and you will go back and present it to the old man for me, which is a great thank you to the old man." ”

Li retreated: "This money is going to be used for your wedding, and you can't use it for other purposes." ”

Li Qing hurriedly agreed, but he was making another calculation in his heart, the 200,000 taels were picked up for nothing, half of them were already quite extravagant at the wedding, and the other half, after the beginning of the year, there were many places to spend money in Dingzhou!

"Dashuai, Dashuai!" Tang Hu's anxious voice came from outside, and with the sound of Dong Dong's footsteps, Tang Hu appeared outside the door.

"What's the matter?" Li Qing asked.

"It's fighting, it's fighting!" Tang Hu gasped and pointed outside, "Mr. Shang, Master Lu, they are all here." ”

Li Qing and Li Huizhi were both shocked, "What's the fight?" There's a fight there, let's be clear! Li Qing said sharply. Now that the barbarians have long been forced to retreat to the royal court, how can there be a fight in Dingzhou City.

"It's the Yizhou soldiers and the palace guards who are fighting!" Tang Hu took a breath and finally finished his words.

"The Yizhou soldiers and the palace guards are fighting?" Li Qing glanced at Li Huizhi in surprise, and the other party was also looking at him inexplicably, "Why did the two of them fight?" ”

Tang Hu shook his head, "I don't know, but the more than 100 people who fought have been arrested by General Feng Guo and taken to the Marshal's Mansion, Mr. Shang said that the identities of both sides are a little different, and General Feng does not dare to dispose of them at will, please go over!" ”

"Let's go, let's go!" Li Qing and Li Huizhi didn't dare to slack off, just pull their feet, the Yizhou soldiers are the private soldiers of the Li family, and the palace guards are the princess guards, and the identities of both sides are really sensitive.

Outside the Marshal's Mansion, a group of guys with blue noses and swollen faces and torn clothes were cut upside down by the soldiers of the Rock Battalion in Dingzhou City, and they were tied up and fell to the ground, even so, the two sides were still scolding, if it weren't for the two rows of Rock Battalion soldiers standing between the two sides, it is estimated that this group of energetic soldiers would have jumped up and kicked people, and in front, Feng Guo stood there helplessly.

Li Qing hurriedly arrived, glanced at it, but first let go of most of his heart, fortunately, the two sides finally knew the proportion, did not dance knives and guns, but simply intersected with fists and feet, which was much lighter in terms of surname. At this moment, Li Feng, the leader of the Yizhou soldiers, and Qin Ming, the commander of the palace guards, who knew the news, also arrived in a hurry.

After some interrogation, everyone understood the reason for the fight between the two sides. The reason is very simple, today the Yizhou soldiers just escorted a batch of baggage to the front line and returned, a group of middle and low-level officers took advantage of the moment to rest and go to a restaurant in Dingzhou City to drink, although the wine in this restaurant can fade out of the bird, it can be said that there is some wine-flavored water, but in Dingzhou, it is rare to have this kind of water at present. And at this time, a group of officers of the palace guard army were also drinking here.

During the drinking, the Yizhou soldiers couldn't help but talk about the war on the front line, these Yizhou soldiers honed in Dingzhou for a few months, although they did not fight a battle in a serious way, but the encounter with a small group of barbarians was fought a lot, a few bloody battles, the arrogance of the body has been worn away, has quite a bit of the taste of strong soldiers, personal experience makes them admire the combat effectiveness of the Dingzhou soldiers, and the Dingzhou soldiers are called the first soldiers in the world, and it is difficult for the second army to compare with the United States.

If other people in Dingzhou listened to this, they must have thought that it was justified, but the partial life made the palace guard officers hear, what kind of person is the palace guard, that is the first army recognized in the world, plus the Dingzhou army once humiliated the imperial forest army in Beijing, and even the palace guard army was questioned, and the palace guard army was not very convinced When he heard this, some people inevitably wanted to sarcastically say a few words and belittle the Dingzhou army fiercely.

The Yizhou soldiers, who already regarded themselves as a member of the Dingzhou Army, did not do anything, and the two sides first started a war of words, and then I don't know who flew over a plate, and the war of words immediately escalated into a full-scale fight.

The palace guards are all selected strong soldiers in Dachu, and their personal strength is super strong, but this group of Yizhou soldiers are all officers, most of them are from the Li clan, and they have received formal martial arts training since they were children, and their personal strength is no worse than these palace guards. I rolled up my sleeves and rushed in. The scale is getting bigger and bigger.

This thing is not big, small but not small, to say that in the current form of Dingzhou, this is a serious violation of military discipline, according to the military law of Dingzhou, it is not an exaggeration to cut off the head, to say small, it is a group of big-headed soldiers who drink too much to fight, if the Dingzhou soldiers themselves do this, most of them are whipped by the Department of Military Justice, and even take their commanders to eat a meal and hang down, most of the troops are some hot-blooded men, and fights are commonplace. But the identities of the two sides who fought today are relatively special, and Li Qing is a little difficult.

Shang Haibo sat on Li Qing's side with a smile, Lu Yiming was full of anger, Li Huizhi was whispering something to Li Feng, and Qin Ming was also asking a palace guard tied there.

"Mr. Shang, what do you think of this?" Li Qing consulted Shang Haibo's opinion.

"What a chance, Dashuai!" Shang Haibo is unfathomable and authentic.

Li Qing looked at the smile on Shang Haibo's face, and suddenly reacted to what Shang Haibo meant, no wonder he wanted to call himself over, fighting like this, with Shang Haibo's current status, he could handle it himself.

The Yizhou soldiers came to Dingzhou as a guest army, to put it bluntly, although they accepted Li Qing's command, they were self-contained, and Li Qing did not interfere in its internal operations, and the palace guards were the princess's private army, and Li Qing was even more difficult to intervene, and now there was such an opportunity, if Li Qing used the Dingzhou military law to punish the two sides, he would directly regard the two sides as part of the Dingzhou army, in other words, to actually form direct leadership and management rights over them, and then rightfully annex them.

"Good thoughts!" Li Qing first praised Shang Haibo in his heart.
