Cui Anqian is still a guest of the crown prince, and there are not many things, but occasionally officials from the court come to visit, and Zheng Qian has been here several times, and he knows very well that the reason why these people come to visit the palace is still for the sake of Li Rupei's face.

As the wedding date approaches, Cui's mansion is starting to get busy, and it is impossible to marry less, Cui Hanlei is Cui Anqian's most beloved little daughter, and if she marries the prince, she will become a princess immediately, not to mention the grand ceremony, at least in terms of dowry, you must be able to get it, and you must let Cui Hanlei have face.

In mid-May, the Cui Mansion began to be busy, because the wedding place was in Liangzhou, so Cui Anqian also wanted to buy a banquet in the capital, inviting relatives and friends to participate in celebrating the wedding of Li Rupei and Cui Hanlei.

Just when he was busy in the house, Zheng Zhen came to visit again.

Cui Anqian invited Zheng Zheng to the study, and the conversation between the two was not limited to Cui Hanlei's marriage, and often discussed major matters in the court, although Li Rupei never cared about the affairs of the capital, but the influence has spread in the capital, especially the iron and blood army opened up the trade route of Longyou Road, which has aroused great attention in the court, making everyone realize Li Rupei's strength and the courage of the iron army.

Zheng Jin's expression was not very good, after entering the study, he rarely spoke, as if he was thinking about something, Cui Anqian did not urge, drank tea slowly, and waited for Zheng Jin to speak.

Finally, Zheng Jin, who had thought clearly, spoke with a solemn face.

"Cui Gong. A certain learned the news that someone in the court had given the emperor a fold. It is recommended that the princess live in the capital, and the emperor will also give a mansion to the king of Yi. This may mean that after the wedding, the princess needs to return to the capital. ”

Cui Anqian's face changed slightly.

In fact, he had already considered such a thing, but Cui Hanlei didn't have to stay in the capital, even if the imperial court was not at ease, so many people from Cui Anqian and Cui Mansion were still in the capital, which was the best hostage. Someone suggested that Cui Hanlei also stay in the capital and live in a special mansion, which can only explain one point, some people don't want Li Rupei to live a comfortable life, think about the princess living in the capital, Li Rupei living in Liangzhou, what is the difference between this and not holding a big wedding.

Besides, such a life is also a painful torture for Cui Hanlei.

"Elder Zheng Ge. Is the emperor's intention clear? ”

"This is not very clear, this matter is very important, so I see that Cui Gong still hurriedly wrote to the prince to inform him of this matter. If the emperor's decree comes down, the matter will be decided, and it will really be changed. I don't know how many twists and turns I have to go through. ”

After Zheng Zheng left, Cui Anqian immediately started to move. Time is very urgent, and I really have to wait for the emperor's decree. Then it is really difficult to operate, and if it is not done well, it will lead to a direct contradiction between the emperor and Li Rupei.

After quickly writing the letter, Cui Anqian found the housekeeper and asked the housekeeper to send the letter to the Four Seas Restaurant, Liu Yunzhang once said that if there is any need for a letter to the prince, send it to the Four Seas Restaurant, and the prince can receive it in the shortest possible time.

By mid-May, Liu Yunzhang was even busier, but his focus slowly shifted to the preparations for Li Rupei's wedding.

The prince's wedding, especially the wedding of the princess, is not ordinary, although it is said that the prince in the capital cannot control much power, but after all, it is the son of the royal family, and the ceremony is still grand, which is the face of the royal family.

Li Rupei's situation is a little different, he is also the envoy of Shannan West Province, and the wedding has long been decided to be carried out in Liangzhou.

Although the imperial court sent letters several times, the implication was to ask the wedding of Li Rupei, the king of Yi, to be held in the capital, and repeatedly emphasized the rules of the prince's wedding, but they were all unceremoniously rejected by Liu Yunzhang, after the news of the iron-blooded army's many victories in Longyou Road reached the capital in May, there were many fewer such letters, perhaps the emperor and Tian Lingzi and others understood that the request for Li Rupei to go to the capital to hold a big wedding was unrealistic, Li Rupei has strong strength, even stronger than those Jiedu envoys in the north, will not act according to the will of the imperial court.

The busy Li Rupei, it should be said that he is a little ashamed of Cui Hanlei, there are many wedding ceremonies, including three books and six ceremonies, sometimes Li Rupei must come forward in person, but Liangzhou is some distance from the capital Chang'an, and Li Rupei's identity is special, so he will not go to the capital easily, so many ceremonies are represented by Liu Yunzhang and the matchmaker.

Fortunately, Cui Qiuyue is by Li Rupei's side, and it can be seen from Li Rupei's expression every day that her own Ah Lang is very busy and has almost no leisure time, so she can also explain to her own lady.

The letter from the Four Seas Restaurant in Beijing was directly delivered to Li Rupei's hands.

This is Cui Anqian's handwritten letter, Li Rupei looked at it very carefully, and when he saw the back, a sneer appeared on his face.

Liu Yunzhang hurried to the wing.

After reading Cui Anqian's letter, Liu Yunzhang's face changed slightly.

"Lord Wang, this is someone secretly making trouble."

"I know, this little carving insect skill, I dare to take it out, since some people in the capital do not give up, then I will make some gestures for them to see, Liu Gong, you should still remember that the last time you went to the capital, a certain wrote a note to the emperor, and you handed it to the emperor yourself, do you know what the letter is written."

Liu Yunzhang shook his head, he had never forgotten this matter, but he would not speculate.

"A certain request to the emperor to reuse Cui Anqian."

Liu Yunzhang's face was really pale now, he couldn't imagine that Li Rupei was so bold, according to common sense, on the matter of whether Cui Anqian was reused, Li Rupei needed to avoid, after all, it was a relationship between Weng and his son-in-law, and if he didn't do it well, the emperor would be suspicious, and it would also cause criticism in the court.

"Liu Gong, I know what you think, but your worries are completely unnecessary, look at the feudal towns in the north, how can you take into account the face of the imperial court when doing things, and then look at Tian Lingzi, who controls the government, but you have worried about what influence, strength determines everything, if you have this strength, you can put it forward, and you have told you about the topic of political marriage, since it is a political marriage, then both sides need to be strong, and both sides rely on each other, even if one side is not strong enough, the other party also helps the other party to become stronger, Just one party is strong and the other is dependent, which is not a qualified political marriage. ”

Liu Yunzhang nodded slightly, both sides can become strong, this is of course a good thing.

"If it is not unexpected, it should be Tian Lingzi and Liu Jurong and others who put forward such ideas, but they will not come forward, there are naturally officials in the court and the central government, and the reason is also high-sounding, isn't it said that someone should go to the capital to hold a big wedding, since it is a prince, it must be in accordance with the rules, and the iron-blooded army is extremely brave, and the prince who controls the iron-blooded army will not go to the capital, and the princess will stay in the capital, which is the best hostage, and there will be an heir and a county lord in the future, and it will be easier to control, but unfortunately a certain will not care about that, There is nothing remarkable about this prince's title, and if it is exchanged for such conditions, it is better not to have this prince. ”

"The prince must not have such an idea, this matter can be discussed slowly and find other ways to solve it."

"Don't worry about Gong Liu, that is to say, I'm afraid it's the emperor in the capital, I'm afraid that I'm not going to do this prince, you immediately write a letter, point out three meanings, first, recommend Cui Anqian to serve as Pingzhangshi, the military department is still the book, second, a certain wedding is held in Liangzhou, the princess must live in Liangzhou, third, if someone in the court disobeys the dignity of the emperor, a certain is willing to come forward, so that these people's bones do not exist, and even be exterminated by the nine clans, especially emphasize that a certain is willing to maintain the dignity of the emperor, This world is still the world of the Li Tang royal family. ”

Liu Yunzhang nodded frequently, and after Li Rupei finished speaking, he almost applauded.

However, after thinking about it for a while, Liu Yunzhang still found the problem.

"Lord Wang, the fold is written so directly, does it mean to threaten the imperial court?"

"Of course, a certain is to threaten the imperial court, threaten some people in the imperial court, so that they dare not talk nonsense, a certain is not just a threat, after the autumn harvest, a certain will make a big move, Liu Ziheng of Shannan East Road is quite comfortable at present, a certain does not want him to live a comfortable life for too long, Shannan West Road and Shannan East Road have been separated for too long, this is not suitable, this is Shannan Road, in order to arrange officials, forcibly separated, and the location of Xiangyang, compared to Liangzhou, still has a lot of advantages, relying on the Yangtze River, This can make commerce and trade more developed, Liu Gong, do you say yes? ”

Liu Yunzhang nodded his head indiscriminately, he was shocked by Li Rupei's idea, once the Iron Blood Army took the entire Shannan East Dao, the place under its control would immediately increase several times, and the impact would be huge.

As the deputy envoy in charge of people's livelihood matters in Shannan West Road, he already felt that the territory to which Shannan West Road belonged could not accommodate Li Rupei's ambition.

"Gong Liu, go and handle this matter immediately, within today, the fold will be sent away, and the emperor will receive the fold the day after tomorrow, in order not to let others see the fold, a certain opinion is to ask Cui Anqian to hand over the fold to Zheng Jin."

"Okay, my subordinates will handle it right away."

"What is being discussed today can be given to Ma Haoxuan, Gao Chibang, Qian Shiqu and others, Liu Gong convened everyone to discuss and see what kind of preparations should be made, the focus of July and August is the autumn harvest, and the best time to start the attack in September, a certain opinion is to fight quickly, as for the reason for the war, please Liu Gong think about it, isn't there a sentence, there is no need, besides, in the hands of a certain person, he also has the evidence of Liu Ziheng's fornication with the Yellow Nest."
