Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Decision to Fail
At present, the Li family is losing power, but the Shen family is profiting from it.
Since ancient times, the civil and military forces have been light, and seeing the Shen family becoming more and more full of flowers, how can Li Chun, the left minister, swallow this breath.
Just as Empress Li was embarrassed with Shen Guifei in the harem all day long, Li Chun, the left prime minister, always regarded Jianwei's general Shen Yan as a thorn in his side in the previous dynasty.
Although the Shen family is a family of generals, in the eyes of Li Chun, who is a civil official, they are simply vulgar generals, and there is nothing noble at all.
is such a family, but it can attract two generations of the Lin family to marry.
You must know that the Lin family is not an ordinary family.
The history of the Lin clan in Jiangnan is even longer than the founding time of Donghua.
Over the years, there have been countless amazing and brilliant characters in the clan.
Looking at the history books, in all dynasties, how many virtuous ministers can be subordinate are all from the Jiangnan Lin family.
Because of this, over the years, countless families have hoped to have some contact with the Lin family, so that their own family can also go further.
And among them, marriage is naturally the best way.
If the family and the Lin family can be tied together through the marriage ceremony, then it must be beneficial to their own family.
……
And as soon as he thought of this, Li Chun gritted his teeth with hatred, thinking that he Li Chun is now the left minister of the head of the hundred officials, although he is not the right minister, but who said that he will not be able to go further in the future.
If one day, the second prince can ascend to the throne, then their Li family will naturally go to the next level and become the first family of the Great Jin Dynasty.
Li Chun didn't believe that the Lin family could see this truth clearly.
But even so, when Li Chun revealed that he wanted to ask to marry a daughter of the Lin family to the third prince as a concubine, the current head of the Lin family, Mrs. Lin, that is, the eldest brother of the Empress Dowager Lin and Mrs. Shen in the palace, immediately refused without thinking.
Li Chun thought that the Lin family might have been thinking about Old Madam Shen and the Shen family, so they rejected him.
After all, Old Madam Shen's daughter-in-law, who is now Shen Guifei, also has the blood of the Lin family.
So after that, Li Chun retreated to the next best.
Some time ago, he wrote to Mrs. Lin again, expressing his willingness to marry the daughter of the Lin family for the eldest grandson of the Li family.
You must know that Li Chun's eldest son is mediocre and has a weak personality.
Li Chun never intended to hand over the Li family into his hands.
Therefore, as early as the eldest grandson became sensible, he took him with him early to raise him personally.
Fortunately, his grandson is really talented and intelligent, and he has been a good seedling of reading since he was a child.
Now the fourth son of the Li family is not as weak as the crown, but he is already a jinshi at a young age.
Although he is not as good as the second son of the Shen family, he can also be called a famous young talent in Beijing.
After all, the fifteen-year-old boy champion, Quan Donghua...... Or in the whole world, there may be only one such person as Shen Qiaoqi.
It can be said that Li Chun has poured all his efforts into him, and naturally he has high expectations.
Everyone knows that if nothing else, the fourth son of the Li family will be the future head of the Li family.
This grandson is so good, Li Chun is very proud, in his heart, his fourth grandson, even compared with the son of the Lin family, I am afraid it is not bad.
Therefore, for him to marry the daughter of the Lin family, Li Chun felt in his heart that this was already a great sincerity, and the Lin family must be very satisfied with his grandson.
After all, Shen Yan is a martial artist, and he can marry the daughter of the Lin family.
And his own grandson, with his grandfather who is the left prime minister, behind him, is indeed talented.
Presumably, it must be able to enter the eyes of the Lin family.
But unexpectedly, the Lin family simply refused.
This time, even Old Lady Lin did not reply to the letter in person, but directly sent the letter to the Empress Dowager Lin in the harem.
……
And right now, Li Chun didn't know anything about all this, and was still waiting for the Lin family's reply with a little smugly.
Originally, Li Chun was still very confident in this.
But after tonight......
Thinking about the fact that he ordered someone to kidnap Shen Qiaoshen tonight, Li Chun couldn't help but feel even more resentful of the Bai family's mother and daughter.
Just this time, with their bad idea, he lost such a big face in front of Xiao Jue'er.
If he didn't know that he really had no one available in the Shen Mansion, he would definitely not let go of this mother and daughter.
Moreover, as we all know, in the past few decades, the Lin family has had two generations of daughters who have married into the Shen family one after another.
married two generations of heads of the Shen family.
These two Lin daughters are now Mrs. Shen and her eldest daughter-in-law, that is, Shen Yanyan's wife Lin.
Shen Qiaoshen is the only daughter of the Shen family, and it is said that she has been favored since she was a child.
With the relationship between the Shen family and the Lin family, if he knew what he had done, I am afraid that it would be impossible to get married.
……
Of course, if Shen Qiaoshen was present at this time, he would only laugh at Li Chun's innocence.
Even if there is no matter tonight, it is impossible for the Lin family to choose someone like the Li family to get married.
……
Shen Qiaoshen's thoughts, of course Li Chun didn't know.
Right now, he's feeling chagrin at tonight's missteps.
Thinking of myself yesterday, I was simply carried away by His Majesty's sudden will.
In order to test the Shen family's thoughts, this would temporarily come up with such an idea of injuring eight hundred enemies and damaging oneself by one thousand.
Besides, what is the loss of the Shen family?
……
Whether the Shen family has lost anything, Li Chun doesn't know.
But in the current situation, the only one who has suffered more losses is their Li family.
After thinking about tonight's events a few times, Li Chun finally sighed and commanded:
"Wenzhu, let everyone come back, be careful, don't leave your tail."
Wen Zhu said in a low voice, and just as he was about to turn around, he heard Li Chun behind him add:
"Over there in the Shen Mansion, remember to take care of it. Tell them that's the end of it, I don't want to hear any more gossip about today's events. ”
Li Chun's tone was indifferent, as if he was just saying it casually.
But Wen Zhu knew that what Li Chun meant was that the mother and daughter of the Bai family, if they knew that tonight's incident had failed, they would definitely find another opportunity in the future and try their best to spread the word.
According to their hatred for the Shen family, especially Shen Qiaoshen, how could they be willing if they didn't see her infamous with their own eyes?
But Xiang Ye obviously didn't want to let this matter continue to ferment, if the Bai family mother and daughter continued to be demons.
That Xiao Jue and the Shen family will definitely find out, once their mother and daughter are found, the first one to be confessed in the end is the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion.
At that time, even if Xiao Jue had promised not to pursue the matter again, the Shen family behind Shen Qiaoshen would never stop there.
What's more, there is also the queen mother in the palace, as well as Shen Guifei......
Therefore, for Li Chun at the moment, the most important thing is the marriage with the Lin family.
Other than that, you can put everything aside for a while.
After all, if you can really catch the big ship of the Lin family, then you can also disintegrate the relationship between the Empress Dowager Lin and the Shen family to a certain extent.
In the final analysis, the Queen Mother is still surnamed Lin after all, not Shen.
