The candlelight in the hall was beating, and the silence was a little depressing.

Li Er watched the two ministers of the humerus leave, his eyes flashed with a fine light, no one knew what he was thinking, and after a while, he suddenly shouted: "Spread the decree, Xuanjiang Xia King will meet you." ”

The chamberlain shouted his order and hurried away.

The hall was quiet again, Li Er was silent with a cold face, motionless, a cold aura emanated, the cold was a little scary, and the eunuchs and living notes serving in the hall were so frightened that they didn't dare to come out.

After a while, Li Daozong hurriedly came over and saluted: "See the Holy Lord!" ”

Li Er's face relaxed, and he smiled a little more: "Excuse me, Daozong, I called you here to discuss, the holy decree of the snow goose's marriage has been promulgated for some time, and the snow goose is not too young, do you think you are looking for an auspicious day to marry in the near future?" Of course, I won't lose Snow Goose. ”

Li Daozong was a little confused, what did he mean by suddenly mentioning this? Thinking of the matter of the prince's mansion, there are some speculations in my heart, but it is not easy to object, after all, the person has passed the princess, and the marriage decree has been promulgated for several months, there is no reason to object, and immediately said: "It is all up to the saint." ”

"This is very good, I turned around and asked Qin Tianjian to find a good life, I will never be disadvantaged if I should pay a dowry, and also, the vacancy of the Governor of the Metropolitan Protectorate is vacant, and I intend to be promoted to the Metropolitan Protector of the Metropolitan Mansion, you will be the Governor of the Metropolis, share my worries for me, fight my own brothers, and take office after the wedding, what do you think?"

Li Daozong was stunned, this is a slap to a sweet date, although the Ministry of Rites is a high and powerful book, but it must be much worse than the Dadu Protectorate, the Dadu Protectorate is one level higher than the Governor's Mansion and the Metropolitan Protectorate, and it is still a real power faction, a real feudal official, this jujube is a bit big.

However, this position is very sensitive, what does it mean to fall to the ground behind this?

In the midst of the lightning, Li Daozong thought a lot, and hurriedly said: "Back to the saint, the minister's health is not good, and recently he has been unable to get out of bed, often has a headache, I am afraid that he will not be able to do it, and he will share his worries for the saint. ”

"It's because I didn't think it through, I called you in the middle of the night, find some back, and let the imperial doctor show you in a while, the resignation is not allowed, the road to the Dadu Hufu is far away, and the north wind is difficult, so stay in Chang'an, but the matter of the Ministry of Rites can't be left behind." Li Er said with a kind face.

"Thank you for your compassion, please retire if you have nothing to do."

Li Daozong bowed, and after getting Li Er's approval, he slowly retreated, and then turned to leave.

Out of the Ganlu Palace, Li Daozong found that his back was cold, his heart was beating faster, and he was secretly glad that he saw the opportunity quickly just now, and decisively refused, otherwise he didn't know how to die, this saint was injured last time, and the prince rebelled, this temperament changed greatly, I'm afraid something will happen.

In addition to the palace, Li Daozong hurriedly returned to the house, rushed into the study, carefully recalled the right play just now, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and quickly asked people to call his daughter, no one was allowed to approach the study, closed the door tightly and said in a low voice: "Yan'er, dare to summon the saint, saying that he is looking for an auspicious day to marry you recently, what do you think?" ”

Li Xueyan instantly looked shy, and lowered her head: "It's all up to my father." ”

"It's fine to have no opinion, but don't you think there's a problem behind it?"

Li Xueyan was stunned for a moment, suddenly remembering what had happened recently, as well as Yu Zhang, who had been grounded, her heart moved, and she asked carefully: "What does my father mean?" ”

"You have always been smart and have your own opinions on the current situation of the DPRK and politics, and my father wants to hear your analysis."

Li Xueyan pondered, motionless, a pair of pretty eyes flashing like stars, and suddenly said after a while: "Father, I am afraid that this is the Holy Lord showing favor to Lord Qin." ”

"You see that, too?" Li Daozong was relieved and said with a smile: "It's a pity that you are not a man, otherwise there will be a place for you in this court, talk about your judgment." ”

Father laughed.

Li Xueyan smiled shyly, blooming like a mountain flower: "The prince kidnapped He'er The saint is very passive, if you don't break into the prince's mansion, it's okay, the saint releases people, and you can still fall into personal favors, but Lord Qin breaks into the prince's mansion to save people and provoke the matter, and the saint will be difficult to do. ”

"That's exactly what my daughter said." Li Daozong smiled with satisfaction, thinking of Li Er's temptation just now, his heart sank, and he continued: "Just now, the Holy Lord wanted me to be the Governor of the Dadu Protectorate, but I refused because of my physical condition, and the Holy Lord stopped saying anything, what do you think?" ”

Li Xueyan's face was ordinary, and she said: "Fortunately, my father refused, this is a temptation, it seems that the saint's suspicion of my father has not been eliminated for so many years, so it is better to really go home." ”

"The Holy One is not allowed." Li Daozong smiled bitterly.

Li Xueyan thought to herself, her brows slowly frowned, and she said in a low voice: "Father, you must not go to the Dadu Protectorate, the saint obviously has a bad suspicion of Lord Qin, the daughter marries the past, the father is the father-in-law of Lord Qin, the family, if the father agrees to do the Shan Yu Protectorate again, the saint will be suspicious."

Deeper, it's good to refuse, my father has escaped a catastrophe, how could the saint become like this? ”

"This is also something that the old man can't figure out, but it's okay for you to marry as soon as possible, Lord Qin is a personal masterpiece, and his future achievements are limitless, and he won't lose anything if he marries him, even if he is partial to his wife, but after you marry, find an opportunity to ask and see what he thinks of your father's future path."

"Child, take note, father, Steward Jia of the Protector Mansion came over and asked his daughter to help take care of the barbecue, it was Lord Qin's meaning, and the daughter thought that Lord Qin was tempting the saint, but the child still agreed, after all, it will be a family in the future, if you don't help, Lord Qin will have ideas, and it will be more difficult for our family in the future." Li Xueyan said.

Li Daozong smiled when he heard this, with a little helplessness and bitterness: "The Holy Lord uses you to test Lord Qin, Lord Qin uses you to test the Holy Master, but the bitter thing is our family, and the slightest carelessness between the two will lead to death, and you can get thirty before you move." ”

"According to the daughter's view, it may not be, father, the saint is old after all, but Lord Qin is only a weak crown, no one can say what will happen in the future, but the daughter is optimistic about Lord Qin, it has nothing to do with the relationship between men and women, but potential, and my father didn't find that the Chinese public is secretly arranging and standing on Lord Qin's side? In terms of ability, the five surnames and seven hopes, the saint has always wanted to suppress but couldn't, but he was uprooted by Lord Qin, three families were uprooted, and two families were suppressed, and in terms of wealth, I am afraid that no one knows how much silver Lord Qin has now. ”

As soon as he said this, Li Daozong's face changed again and again, and he fell into deep thought.

Li Xueyan didn't say much anymore, boiling water to make tea.

After a while, Li Xueyan poured a full cup of tea and put it beside Li Daozong, waited patiently for a while, and saw that his father had figured out a lot of things, and his face softened and continued: "Father, my daughter has two suggestions. ”

"Tell me about it." Li Daozong has always attached importance to his daughter's opinion and became serious.

"First, the elder brother Jing Heng is the eldest son, his identity is sensitive, and he can't move, but the second brother Jing Ren has nothing to do, and he has a good relationship with Cheng Chumo, so it's better to enter the Protectorate Mansion and follow him to run the caravan; Second, Luo Zhang is the younger generation of Lord Qin, but it is a friend of life and death, the relationship is very deep, Luo Zhang is a talent, and after the Duke of Guo, literary talent may not be enough, but the martial arts are extraordinary, the little sister is in the boudoir, it is better to marry, the two families are completely bound, and then the father proposed to return to his hometown, and the saint is worried that Lord Qin will become bigger, and it will be allowed. ”

"Luo Zhang?"

Li Daozong's eyes lit up: "This old man has seen it, but it is also a personal choice, my daughter's proposal is very good, but you can't rush, wait until you get married, there are variables before you get married, this matter will be handled by you, if your brother and sister have half of your talent, the old man will be pleased." ”

This night, the father and daughter talked a lot.

Early the next morning, the imperial doctor in the palace came over, and there was also the holy decree that came with him, the imperial doctor represented the saint's concern for Li Daozong, and at the same time there was distrust, wondering if Li Daozong was really in good health, which could not help Li Daozong, after all, when he was young, he fought everywhere and suffered serious physical losses, and then bribed the imperial doctor with a lot of money to get over the lake.

The holy decree mentioned that a week later would be the auspicious day of the zodiac, and Li Daozong would be appointed as the official of ceremonies and the general leader of the wedding.

This number in a week is particularly dazzling, Gaodi Gate Valve, who is not ready to marry a woman for a month or two?

This is sent out on the pole, which shows that Li Er is in a hurry.

Li Daozong thought that the prince's punishment had not been announced for a long time, and he sneered in his heart, but he didn't show it at all, and bowed down to receive the order, after all, it was a matter of duty to be the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, not to mention that he was still his biological father, and he was not at ease when he handed it over to others.
