Episode 419: [Cause]

Li Chengqian was stunned and blinked his eyes.!

Cheng Laoxiang actually asked Li Chengqian if he really wanted to know?

Nonsense, of course Li Chengqian wants to know, otherwise he would ask so much for what he is doing.

And Cheng Lao asked like this, isn't that asking nonsense?

Li Chengqian didn't mind Cheng Lao's nonsense questions at this time, but felt happy because of his nonsense questions.

He waited for this answer for a long time, but he never asked from Cheng Lao's mouth, and now that he finally saw him to say it, there was nothing more pleasing than this.

Of course, given that Cheng Laoxiang had already told several lies, Li Chengqian was not sure whether he was going to tell a lie to kill people again, or if he wanted to tell the truth.

Therefore, in the complicated situation of half joy and half worry in Li Chengqian's heart, he didn't show anything on the surface, but just nodded seriously to Cheng Laoxiang.

said: "That's nature, my heart for Wenxiao is real!" ”

Cheng Laoxiang glanced at Li Chengqian narrowly and said, "You won't believe me when I say it......"

"Well, as long as you don't stop me and Wenxiao, then I'll believe it." Li Chengqian made it clear that no matter what, his goal is firm.

Cheng Laoxiang said: "His Royal Highness once said to the old minister, whether to marry the palace or marry other families, it is all with the benefits of marriage. That's right. ”

Unexpectedly, Cheng Laoxiang's first sentence turned out to be a sentence that admitted what Li Chengqian said.

"Yes, it's better to marry someone else than to marry me." Li Chengqian said bluntly.

"To say something that His Highness doesn't like to hear, it's good for Wen Xiao to marry you. But it's not good for the Cheng family to marry you. Cheng Lao said.

Hearing this, Li Chengqian was very puzzled.

The Cheng family is reluctant to marry Li Chengqian, which means that the Cheng family is disgusted with Li Chengqian, or his status as a prince.

But as a minister, he would have such a thought, he was not afraid of being called a rebel, but a name that was not close to the royal family would make the Cheng family unbearable.

And Cheng Lao doesn't look like a person who is not close to the royal family!

He asked, "Why?" ”

"Marriage, whether it is the will of the children or the order of the parents, the marriage of the two families is naturally a union of interests. And a royal marriage is naturally the best. Marriage with His Royal Highness is even better! Cheng Lao said.

That's it, you can report your daughter to me!

Li Chengqian thought so in his heart, but knew that he had a turning point, so he waited seriously for his next step.

"Marrying the prince is the most convenient way, if His Royal Highness ascends the throne in the future, the Cheng family will immediately become the most popular family in Chang'an, not to mention that there is no second family to compare. But there are a few of them. Cheng Lao Xiang continued to say that the benefits were high.

I heard that Li Chengqian wanted to marry his daughter to the crown prince.

Of course, it's just a mood. Not to mention that he doesn't have a daughter, even if he does, he can't mess around.

"It's just that this convenient road also has disadvantages, the foundation is too shallow. One glory is glorious, one withered is withered, not what the old minister wants! Cheng Lao said profoundly.

Li Chengqian heard this well.

Although he knows a general truth, there will naturally be shortcomings in a convenient way. For example, there is a saying that if you want to hurry, you can't reach it.

But he knew the truth, but he didn't know what Cheng Lao was talking about here.

"Hehe, Your Highness doesn't understand, the old minister will tell you about it. Lao Chen's Cheng family is fighting for the world with His Majesty. Knowing that this military merit is a real thing, as long as there is military merit, my Cheng family will become stronger and stronger, whether it is under the former emperor, His Majesty, or your subordinates in the future, my Cheng family will not fall. ”

"Then what does this have to do with Wen Xiao marrying me?" Li Chengqian is even stranger.

Cheng Lao asked rhetorically: "If Wen Xiao marries you." My Cheng family has become a relative of the emperor, so where does my Cheng family dare to take charge of the army, and where do I dare to make so many military achievements? ”

Because he became a relative of the emperor, he didn't dare to lead troops to fight?

Li Chengqian's heart was shocked. For a while, I understood what he meant.

After marrying the prince, he became a royal celebrity, and if he was in charge of the soldiers and made military achievements, then it was easy to be suspected of the possibility of rebellion.

Therefore, marrying the prince to become a big celebrity, and earning military merits, have become the fish and bear paws of the Cheng family.

Cheng Lao Xiang saw that Li Chengqian was still a little suspicious, and continued: "Your Highness sees this eldest grandson's family, which is like a smash hit, but have you ever seen your uncle lead troops to the battle?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji seems to have been nesting in Chang'an, and he really hasn't led troops to fight. This can be said to be tiring and dangerous to fight, and a big man like Eldest Sun Wuji will not take this risk. But in the Tang Dynasty, the most valuable thing was military merit, and if the eldest grandson Wuji could earn something for his family, it would be impossible to let it go!

In this way, it is really as Cheng Lao said that this royal relative is not so easy to be!

But Li Chengqian can't follow Cheng Lao's words like this. If you follow his words, won't Li Chengqian lose Cheng Wenxiao?

"Uncle Cheng, although you are for the good of the Cheng family, I think you have thought too much. Now that the whole country has been unified, there are very few places to fight, you have earned a lot of military merits for the Cheng family, and now you are married to me, isn't that adding a layer of protection to this credit, it is completely beneficial to the Cheng family! Li Chengqian said.

Cheng Laoxiang looked at the north and chuckled: "It is inevitable that our dynasty will fight with Goguryeo and Tubo, and the Turks have just been destroyed by our dynasty, and they also need to send troops to suppress it." There are so many opportunities, the old man is reluctant! ”

Li Chengqian was stunned, indeed, he has always had an impulse to destroy them since he learned about Goguryeo and Tubo, so that Cheng Lao Xiang would fight, and this daughter would not be able to marry.

"Your Highness, now you know the reason why the minister has been rejecting you, the minister can't miss the Cheng family because he married a daughter!" Cheng Lao said, "I still hope that His Royal Highness ......"

"Stop!" Li Chengqian hurriedly shouted.

Damn, usually Cheng Lao plays hooligan, then Li Chengqian doesn't take it seriously, and if he is asked to say nothing this time, then Li Chengqian really won't have a chance in the future.

Cheng Lao looked at him.

Li Chengqian's mind turned sharply, and when Cheng Lao's patience was almost over, he said: "Uncle Cheng wants to have merit so that the Cheng family can have an invincible capital ......."

"That's right." Cheng Lao Xiang nodded.

Li Chengqian's mind was still spinning when he said this.

"And if you marry Wen Xiao to me, I'm afraid there will be no chance to earn military merits." Li Chengqian continued to talk about the strategy of delaying the army.

"Yes."

Li Chengqian suddenly remembered such a thing as gunpowder, and with gunpowder, it was not a sharp thing to fight.

"So as long as Uncle Cheng can earn military merits, Uncle Cheng can marry Wen Xiao to me? In other words, if Wenxiao marries me and it doesn't affect Uncle Cheng's military merits, will Uncle Cheng not reject me? Li Chengqian said.

Cheng Lao Xiang smiled and said, "How can there be two beautiful things in the world!" ”

"What if there were?" Li Chengqian asked.

Cheng Lao was stunned for a moment, looked at Li Chengqian's serious appearance, and nodded: "If there is, then I naturally won't stop the kid from drinking!" ”

As soon as Li Chengqian heard Cheng Lao's agreement, he was about to speak.

Cheng Lao added again: "If Your Highness can't do it, then please respect Your Highness." ”

Li Chengqian's face darkened, and he didn't say anything about the gunpowder he wanted to say. He said: "This Uncle Cheng can rest assured. Uncle has forgotten what we did before, I can make some inventions, and then credit the Cheng family, as long as the credit is big enough, Wenxiao will marry me at that time, isn't this the best of both worlds! ”

Cheng Lao didn't believe it: "What can be better than military feats?" ”

"When the time comes, Uncle Cheng will know!" Li Chengqian said.

Cheng Lao didn't mind taking advantage of himself, and said, "The old man will wait and see!" ”

After talking to Cheng Laohuo, Li Chengqian left the backyard, and then returned to the front reception hall, Cheng Wenxiao's mother and daughter were chatting, and as soon as Li Chengqian came in, he stopped talking.

Cheng Wenxiao looked at Li Chengqian with some concern, but she was slightly relieved to see that Li Chengqian's expression was calm, and it seemed that something as serious as she imagined had happened.

Li Chengqian was anxious to go back and get the gunpowder out, but Cheng's mother seemed to have something to say to him, and after inviting Li Chengqian to sit down, he talked about the flower water.

Among these thousands, there are seventy or eighty pieces to be distributed to the Cheng family, which makes a lot of money for the Cheng family.

And the flower water not only made a lot of money for the Cheng family, but also Cheng's mother is now very popular in the circle of noblewomen, wherever she goes, some people say that he is one of the bosses of the flower water, but he is envied by those noblewomen, which can make Cheng's mother's vanity greatly satisfied.

Li Chengqian's mind was on gunpowder, and he didn't think about the consequences of Cheng's mother being so happy. In fact, this is the reason why Cheng Laoxiang suddenly stopped bullying Li Chengqian, it was because Cheng's mother saw that Li Chengqian could bring benefits to the Cheng family, so she restrained Cheng Laoxiang.

So Li Chengqian said goodbye to Cheng's mother after she made a phone call to express her vanity.

Out of Chengfu, Li Chengqian happened to see a eunuch who was a pawn cook coming to Chengfu with a baby pigeon Wangcai.

Li Chengqian took Wangcai and handed it to Cheng Wenxiao.

Cheng Wenxiao asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, my father didn't embarrass you, right?" ”

Li Chengqian shook his head, and then asked rhetorically: "What did your mother tell you?" ”

"My mother said it very strangely, but it doesn't feel good, and she asked you to come in to find my father just now, so I thought something bad was going to happen." Cheng Wenxiao's little face was a little white.

Li Chengqian reached out and touched her face, and said, "Go back, I'm going to get an invention, and we can be together in the future." ”

Saying this, Cheng Wenxiao's face turned red again, and then she was very curious about what invention Li Chengqian was going to make.

Li Chengqian said: "Gunpowder. ”……

ps: After the update last night, I found that I had one more of my great god lights. I'm so happy that I don't know which reader got it. Hey, hey, hey.
