"Oh, I see, that's our family's fault for Lord Shangguan, and I'm here to compensate my lord. Gonggong Li said with a smile.

Although he said that he was making amends, there was no apology on his face.

Like this kind of grand duke in front of the emperor, who accompanies the emperor all day long, he has long been accustomed to seeing all kinds of dignitaries, foxes and fake tigers, where would he put a mere soldier in his eyes?

"The father-in-law is serious, the lower official doesn't dare to be the official!" Shangguan Jing hurriedly said, "By the way, the lower official just has a few taels of gold leaf tips on hand, if the father-in-law takes it, it will be regarded as inviting the father-in-law to drink a cup of tea." ”

Gold leaf tip?

Hearing these three words, everyone gasped.

It's a priceless tea, and even many princes and nobles can't drink it if they want to.

Gonggong Li waved his hand, "No, no." We're a rough guy, and we can't drink that kind of delicate stuff. ”

After speaking, Gonggong Li was ready to lift his feet and leave.

But at this moment, he seemed to remember something, and his eyes fell on Shangguan Wan'er.

"By the way, Lord Shangguan, Ling Qianjin is the same age as Yi Gongzi, she is talented and beautiful, and her wife is Yi Gongzi's aunt. Why don't you kiss and kiss and have a double happiness?"

Li Gongzi smiled kindly, like a harmless old man.

Let your daughter marry Yi Chen?

Hearing this, Shangguan Jing's face suddenly changed.

"Father-in-law Li, this is my family affair, and the little girl has already set a date with the son of the Tang family. can only sigh that the two are inseparable. Shangguan Jingpi said with a smile.

"Humph!"

At this time, a cold snort broke the calm of the audience.

"Lord Shangguan has ruined his marriage contract with me, and he has climbed another high branch, and even the contract written in black and white is ready to deny it. ”

Yi Chen said, taking out the contract.

In order to guard against Shangguan Jing's destruction of evidence, he always carried it with him.

"Contract, is there such a thing? Let us see. ”

Gonggong Li took the contract, looked at it a few times, and immediately laughed.

"Lord Shangguan, this is your fault. This is written in black and white, Yi Gongzi will marry Ling Qianjin if he is a lifter. ”

"Today, Yi Gongzi is both civil and military, and he is still the emperor's royal pen. If you regret this, won't it become a joke in Yujing City if it spreads?"

Be quiet!

In the banquet hall, there were a number of dignitaries and dignitaries, and a number of big people in Yujing.

It was as quiet as death in an instant.

Gonggong Li is the grand duke of the emperor, and he serves the emperor's big celebrity with him, and no one dares to offend.

However, Shangguan Jing is also a squire of the military department, and more importantly, his quasi-in-laws are the Tang family, one of the top families in Yujing.

When the son of the head of the household department, he was the grandson of the first assistant of the cabinet and the prince and the prince.

Who is offended by such an identity?

Shangguan Jing has only one daughter, either to marry the son of the Tang family or to Yi Chen in front of him.

If you marry the son of the Tang family, you will be refuting the face of Gonggong Li in public.

This kind of father-in-law is the most grudgeful, and he is not allowed to blow the wind in his ears with the emperor in private, saying that you are disrespectful.

But if he marries Yi Chen, it will be a slap in the face of the Tang family.

What kind of family is the Tang family?

One family of five scholars, one family of six court officials!

Today's old man of the Tang family retired from the position of head assistant of the cabinet a few years ago, and even now, he still bears the name of the crown prince.

Even Tang Yingde, the boss of the Tang family, is still a dignified household secretary, in charge of the court's finance and taxation!

Who would dare to offend such a prominent family?

"However, Xiaguan has already set a date with Tang Shangshu!" Shangguan Jing said stubbornly.

No matter how powerful Gonggong Li is, he is an outsider after all.

And the Tang family is about to become their own with him.

Which is more important, Shangguan Jing naturally understands!

"Didn't you still make a contract with Yi Gongzi?"

"This ...... I'm afraid ......"

Shangguan Jing looked at the contract and silently gritted his teeth.

I just hate that he was too hasty and impulsive at the time and signed this contract, otherwise there would be no such thing as today.

"I'm afraid of what? Heh, our family advises Lord Shangguan, you should come according to the contract! The marriage contract is a small matter, but the untrustworthy matter is a big matter. The emperor's favorite thing to talk about on weekdays is the sentence 'people can't stand without faith'!"

Gonggong Li said with a smile.

Like gossip, inadvertently, he moved out of the emperor's big backer.

If Shangguan Jing still dares to break the contract, wouldn't it be a capital crime of disrespecting the holy will in public!

"Gonggong Li is such a great official! Open your mouth Emperor, shut up Emperor, I don't know, I think you are here with a holy decree!"

That's when it happened.

An old and powerful voice, like a bronze bell Da Lu, resounded in the huge banquet hall.

Whoa!

A group of people, dressed in gorgeous brocade robes, walked as if they were coming.

"You are?"

Gonggong Li looked at the old man who took the lead, his eyes widened, and he was stunned for a moment.

"Hmph, Gonggong Li, you don't even know the old man, right? Back then, the old man, as the first assistant of the cabinet and the crown prince, often went in and out of the imperial study. ”

"At that time, you were just a little father-in-law who forwarded documents, right?"

Tang Hongtai was holding a jade head crutch in one hand, and the other hand was carefully supported by Tang Yingde, the head of the household department.

The people behind him were all protégés of the Tang family, and they were more or less favored by the Tang family back then, and they were pulled up by the Tang family.

"Tang Pavilion Old Tai'an!"

Seeing Tang Hongtai coming in person, Shangguan Jing immediately smiled, stepped forward, and hurriedly shouted hello.

"Tang Pavilion Old Tai'an!"

"Tang Pavilion Old Tai'an!"

"Tang Pavilion Old Tai'an!"

......

In an instant, the entire banquet hall, the entire Shangguan Mansion, everyone fell down.

Like a mountain roaring like a tsunami, please say hello to the "Tang Pavilion Lao" in front of you!

"Hehe, who do I think it is? It turns out to be Tang Ge Lao, you are not at home for a long time, what are you doing here to choke with our family?"

Although Gonggong Li still had a smile on his face, his momentum was obviously much weaker.

It's already a bit soft!

After all, this is the former head of the cabinet, the crown prince!

Even if he retreats to the background and retires to the sky, with his status and the status of the Tang family as an official of the Six Dynasties, how many protégés and how many children?

That's a huge clan of scholars who even the emperor has to be afraid of three points and have to give three points!

Especially now, as soon as Tang Hongtai appeared, everyone present greeted him in unison, and the mountains roared like a tsunami.

Everyone can see that Gonggong Li can't suppress this Tang Pavilion old man at all!

"Hmph, you are an errand boy in the palace, and you have come to the old man's house to play prestige. If the old man doesn't come out to support the scene again, won't he be ridden by your father-in-law?"

Tang Hongtai is not so easy to speak.

Even in front of Gonggong Li, in front of all dignitaries, it is directly a scolding of the head and face!
