Chapter 271: How to Ask for Marriage
Meeting at Pujin Pass Ferry is the luck of this little lady named Wang Yan, the luck of Li Zhi, and the surprise of Wang Renli.
Although this matter is just a beautiful idea, Xie Yi feels that it is not impossible to realize, and the possibility is not small, at least it can be promoted in this direction.
Especially when he saw a pair of young people standing on the side of the boat talking and laughing, Xie Yi wanted to achieve this good deed more and more.
After crossing the Yellow River, he landed in Zezhou, the east of the river on the opposite bank, and sure enough, Zezhou Thorn Shi and a group of subordinate officials waited on the shore early, among which there were some representatives of the Xu family who came to the front station to greet His Royal Highness King Jin.
The prince's signboard is really not built, and now that he is patronizing the ground east of the river, which one should not be complimented? At least respectfully.
However, Li Zhi was not very interested in this, firstly, because he was young and had not experienced such a scene much. The second is that this will be a little absent-minded, and I am still worried about the little girl who is far away.
After landing on the shore, His Royal Highness the King of Jin had to entertain, and Wang Renli's father and daughter naturally did not appear beside him, so they had already left first and returned to Jinyang.
Li Zhi had to socialize with the Zezhou officials, but Li Zhi was really not very interested, so he deduced that he was seasick and went to rest first.
But Xie Yi couldn't get out of his body easily, and many people could see that it was not His Royal Highness King Jin who was really in charge this time, but this Xie Changshi.
Oh no, now he's the deputy envoy of Hedong Province.
Seeing that His Royal Highness the King of Jin was sullen, Zezhou was inevitably apprehensive, so he had to inquire about Xie Changshi here.
Of course Xie Yi can't tell the truth, a few words of prevarication have changed, he has been trained in the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty in the past few years, and this kind of ability to talk about people and talk nonsense has long been at ease.
After making a false accusation with the officials of Zezhou, he found an excuse to avoid it.
How so? Came to the east of the river. If you have a cold attitude, you must make Hedong nervous, you will definitely not be able to do anything, and you must release some enthusiasm.
But you can't be too enthusiastic about them, otherwise it's easy to climb up with a bamboo pole, sticking to you, and doing things a lot of constraints.
So this degree is not easy to grasp, Xie Yi can be described as cautious about this, cautious and cautious.
Return to the inn where you are stationed. Xie Yi saw Li Zhi sitting in front of the window, silent, as if he was preoccupied. Hehe, the little boy is in love for the first time, which is quite interesting.
"Your Highness, what do you want?"
"No, didn't think about anything?" Li Zhi hurriedly denied it, but his expression betrayed his heart.
Xie Yi understood it in his heart and said with a smile: "Your Highness is thinking about that little girl Wang Yan?" ”
"......" Li Zhi acquiesced to this fact with silence.
"You like her?" Xie Yi was unceremonious. The question is quite straightforward.
She ...... Pretty good. Li Zhi did not answer positively, but it was enough to explain the problem.
"What's the matter, can you tell me about it?" Xie Yi asked with a smile, feeling bad in his heart.
"It's not the same. It's different from the sisters in the palace and Xiaoman......"
Li Zhi gave such an answer, which made Xie Yi slightly surprised, and the princesses didn't need to say it. Li Zhi also specifically mentioned Xiaoman.
Xie Yi suddenly remembered the joke that Zheng Liwan once made, and in the eyes of many people, it seemed that he thought that he would marry his sister into the Jin Palace.
Apparently. They think too much.
Xie Yi is a person who advocates the freedom of marriage, and he will not sacrifice his sister's happiness for power and political interests. If Li Zhi and Xiaoman can really guess each other, childhood sweethearts, he would be happy to see it. Otherwise, there will be absolutely no forcible matchmaking.
Now it seems that Li Zhi doesn't mean this, maybe in his eyes, Xiaoman, like his son, is regarded by him as a little sister.
Xie Yi smiled and said, "Your Highness, why don't you marry her into the mansion?" ”
"This ......" suddenly mentioned the marriage event, and Li Zhi couldn't help but be a little confused.
"His Royal Highness is actually not small, I think His Royal Highness King Wei got married at the age of eleven, His Royal Highness is now thirteen, and it should be fourteen after the New Year, it is the time to get married."
Xie Yi was very direct, and he felt it was necessary to break Li Zhi's shyness and concerns. Although thirteen or fourteen years old is really young, it is indeed an indisputable fact that in this era it is indeed the age of marriage.
When he was soaking in the hot springs a few days ago, he also secretly observed that His Royal Highness King Jin is no longer a simple child, and can be classified as an adult boy.
The royal family is especially married at an early age, so there is nothing to shy away from about it.
"Marriage matters, the words of the matchmaker of my parents' orders, my marriage, I am afraid that my father will have the final say......" Li Zhi only promised, but he also readily admitted that he was a little careful.
"That's true, but Your Majesty also has to give due consideration to His Highness's thoughts, right?" Xie Yi said: "If you really have love for the little lady, you might as well say it to Your Majesty, even if you can't be the princess of the main family, you can be the side concubine." ”
"Uh...... Xie Changshi, you ......"
Xie Yi suddenly, as if he had said a little too much, and said with a sneer: "I'm sorry, Your Highness, when I saw His Highness and Little Lady Wang, I remembered my first acquaintance with Liwan, so ...... I'm just helping Your Highness. ”
"Hmm...... But let's talk about it! Li Zhi seemed to want to end the topic, but after a moment of silence, he asked again, "Can I see him again?" ”
"Of course you can, when it comes to Jinyang, the birthday of the eldest princess of Tong'an, there will be a chance." Xie Yi smiled and reassured Li Zhi.
……
At this time, thousands of miles away on the southwest plateau.
In a mansion modeled after the Tang Dynasty, people are sitting opposite each other in the hall that wants to be as refined as possible, but still looks crude.
"Prime Minister, I've said so much below, I don't know what the Prime Minister thinks?" What this person said was the Tang Dynasty Chinese dialect, but a pair of eyes were brown.
Above the throne, a middle-aged man in a yak leather robe smiled lightly and nodded: "What Your Excellency said has some truth, we Zampu really want to marry a beautiful princess of the Tang Kingdom. ”
Zampu, the title of the Tibetan chieftain; Although the middle-aged man speaks fluent Chinese, his appearance and clothes show the style of Tubo, he is none other than Tubo Prime Minister Lu Dongzan.
"Then what are Zamp and Daexiang going to do?" The brown-eyed man asked softly.
"Hmph, you Tang people pay attention to what they pay attention to before the soldiers, but we in Tubo like to bow before the soldiers." Lu Dongzan smiled: "Songzhou, how is Songzhou?" It is close to the rich Shuzhong, and it should be quite rewarding to take a walk! ”
"What the prime minister said is extremely true, but I am afraid that it is not enough to tighten a Songzhou, I heard that Xue Yantuo in the north was bitterly suppressed by the Tang people, presumably it is ...... now."
The brown-eyed man said leisurely: "Do you want to consider having a connection with Xue Yantuo Khan?" If the Tang Dynasty Emperor Li Shimin can be busy, wouldn't it be much easier for Zampu to marry the princess of the Tang Kingdom? (To be continued.) )
