Chapter 27: Give Me a Reason

She said she didn't want to get married.

The people outside the door, listening to the conversation between the ancestors and grandchildren, suddenly showed an inexplicable smile on their calm faces. Then, he turned and stepped aside.

"Can Grandpa help Xiao'er?" Li Xiao was still praying.

"How can I help you?"

"Let the imperial grandfather take back his fate..."

"Stop, stop!" The old prince couldn't wait to stretch out his hand and stopped Li Xiao from continuing. "You're looking for the wrong person, I don't have that ability!"

"Besides, this is the first time in more than 100 years that the Wei family has opened their mouths and asked the court for something, how can your imperial grandfather be embarrassed not to give it!" Suddenly, the old prince's eyes disappeared.

"I'm not a thing!" Li Xiao retorted.

The old man nodded approvingly: "It's really not a thing." ”

“……”

He said it seriously, but why did he always feel like he was cursing.

"Girl, as a royal child, you can't escape this step."

"Grandpa, can you give me a reason?"

The old prince looked at Li Xiao's stubborn little face and smiled helplessly.

The relationship between the Li family and the Wei family can be traced back to decades ago, before Emperor Taizu founded the country.

At that time, it coincided with the troubled times, and several forces divided the world, and the people were in trouble for many years.

At that time, Emperor Taizu was only a small soldier commander in one of the forces. Charging into battle, fighting for his life, but he was brave and unscrupulous, and he was never given a heavy responsibility. Until one day, on his way home from the camp, he rescued a stranger who was seriously injured.

After getting along, I learned that this person's surname was Wei Mingyun. In his hometown, he offended people and was hunted down, and in the process of escaping, his family died, leaving him alone and adrift in the troubled times.

Emperor Taizu was kind-hearted, married him as a brother, and left him at home, and later took him into the military camp to earn a living and help him marry a wife and start a family.

After getting along slowly, Emperor Taizu found that this Wei Yun was by no means an idle person, he was not only good at riding *** martial arts, but also knew how to march and deploy troops and dispatch troops.

With his assistance, Emperor Taizu's skills in commanding troops and fighting became more and more sophisticated, and he made countless military exploits, not to mention that he was promoted to a general and commanded a force.

At that time, Emperor Taizu made an oath that if he won the world in the future, he would definitely share it equally with Wei Yun.

At that time, Wei Yun only smiled and did not answer.

But when that day really came, Wei Yun gave him half of the country that Taizu gave him in return for Emperor Taizu's life-saving grace.

"It turns out that there are such twists and turns in this." After listening to the old prince's words, Li Xiao whispered.

"Yes, Emperor Taizu has always felt that his words must be done, so he has always felt that there is half of the Wei family in this world. It's not a way to do it, Wei Yun asked Taizu to order him and sealed him as the prince of the country. But there is a saying that their Wei family only accepts one title, and he and his descendants do not enter the court, do not hold power, and only depend on the court's fortune to live. ”

Just asking for money? The annual income given by the imperial court to the Wei family is enough for all the expenses of 500,000 soldiers.

Li Xiao said unconvinced: "This money alone is enough for their family to enjoy glory and wealth for generations!" ”

"Yes! But what if you compare it to that half of the country? The old prince said meaningfully: "Therefore, Emperor Taizu, who thinks that he has lost the Wei family, has always educated future generations and treated them well." Come to think of it, your grandfather thought the same way. ”
