Chapter 16: Prince Tuyuhun Asks for Marriage
"The food is ready, let's take a seat first."
Looking at Li Tai's arrogant appearance, Li Xiang was about to reply to him with a few words, but who knew that the eldest grandson Huanting spoke.
The eldest grandson Wuji understood that if he wanted his uncle and nephew to fight, it was estimated that he would have to stand here for half an hour, and there were so many people in the family who came and went, and it would not look good to fight, so he gave his daughter a look.
The face of the master's family is to be given, not to mention that the cousin of the eldest grandson Huanting is not an ordinary person, it can almost be said that half of the eldest grandson's family is a think tank, and it belongs to the object to be wooed.
Hum......
The uncle and nephew snorted coldly, looking at each other unpleasantly, but they still went in with the eldest grandson Wuji.
The eldest grandson Huanting saw all this in her eyes, and the more fierce the fight, the more benefits our eldest grandson family would have.
The eldest grandson Huanting knows Li Tai, but she doesn't know much about Li Xiang, especially the gift she just gave herself, it can definitely be said to be a treasure, where did this kid get it?
The last time I saw this kid, it was at a family banquet in the palace a few years ago, and he had grown so tall in a blink of an eye, and he coped with it decently, these dragon sons and grandsons didn't have a fuel-efficient lamp.
After entering the front hall, the eldest grandson Wuji naturally sat in the main seat.
Li Tainai, the king of Wei, is the prince of Yizi, and he was the biggest favorite for the crown prince before, and he was also Li Shimin's favorite prince, so he sat in the right position.
"How can this work? When I come to the house for dinner, I only talk about family etiquette, and my cousin and aunt please take a seat, and I can just sit here. ”
The position of the first on the left should be Li Xiang's, after all, Li Xiang is the king of the two-character county, or the eldest grandson of the emperor of the Tang Empire, sitting in this position is well deserved, if it is the emperor's grandson, Li Tai can't sit in front of him, but this kid is more good at being a person, and he can't help but sit in the bottom position.
The eldest grandson Chong and the eldest grandson Huanting persuaded vigorously, and they were also beautiful in their hearts, although they were the top nobles in the Tang Dynasty, but when facing the children of the royal family, their status was still inferior, and now Li Xiang can give them such a big face, and both of them have it in their hearts.
Little bastard!
Li Tai, the king of Wei, scolded in his heart, when he used to eat here, except for his uncle and eldest grandson Wuji, he regarded everyone else as his subordinates, and he never thought of courteous to anyone, and he didn't think it was a mistake.
Now seeing the smiles on the faces of Changsun Chong and Changsun Huanting, this guy knows how wrong he was before.
"Today is a family feast, you all go down, I'll pour the wine."
When Li Xiang saw the maid bring up the wine, he immediately snatched the wine jug, and then prepared to pour wine for the eldest grandson Wuji.
"How can this work? Your Highness is polite, you are so presumptuous. ”
The eldest grandson, Huanting, glared at several subordinates with her eyes.
"Don't worry about my cousin, the juniors pour wine for the elders, which is Confucian and Mencian etiquette in itself, not to mention that they are here, it is not so convenient for us to chat, let's let them go down, it is nothing more than a nephew to run more errands."
Li Xiang poured wine for several people as he spoke, including Li Tai, which was also a full glass.
It is not a trivial matter for His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun to pour wine personally, but Li Xiang introduced the etiquette of Confucius and Mencius, which is also understandable.
Datang also respects Confucian education, and respecting the elders and loving the young is also Confucian and Mencian thoughts, not to mention that the relatives of these people present are also relatively close, and indeed everyone's strangeness has dissipated in an instant.
The three people of the eldest grandson's family are very familiar with Li Tai, but they are not very familiar with Li Xiang, after all, Li Xiang only appeared a few days ago, and he made up for the shortcomings with such a move.
The eldest grandson Huanting wanted to say something, but after seeing his father's eyes, he sat down peacefully and watched Li Xiang pour wine.
The eldest grandson Wuji is an old fox, one or two things can't touch his heart, and now he is also carefully observing Li Xiang, if you play it, I see how long you can act.
Lichu is a big deal, the eldest grandson Wuji will never change his decision because of one or two small things, Li Xiang also understands this, so he has to make great efforts, even if he can't see the effect in a short time, he has to endure it.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Li Xiang also knew that the main event was coming, and the eldest grandson Wuji called the uncle and nephew to the house, which was by no means a simple meal, this may be the first test for the uncle and nephew.
"Erlang, Tai'er, I don't know if you've heard? Prince Zaterk of Tuyuhun begs to marry me Datang, how do you think we should deal with it? ”
The test came so quickly, and none of the people present were stupid, so the eldest grandson Wuji didn't go around in circles, and directly said the exam questions.
Li Tai, the king of Wei, is known for his talents, and he is also a leader among the princes, Li Xiang is even more powerful, yesterday in the court of Pinggaoli strategy skills to suppress the whole dynasty, and now the eldest grandson Wuji is in charge of the affairs of Prince Tuyuhun, just to see if these two people have an idea, not only to help themselves solve their difficulties, but also to test the two of them by the way.
"Zatleke, I understand, that is the first talent of Tuyuhun, and I have been studying in Chang'an for a long time, and I have admired the Tang Dynasty for a long time, although Tuyuhun has been bad to us over the years, but if I am married, I will become a family of the Tang Dynasty, and help my Tang Dynasty defend the southwest border and prevent the invasion of Tubo."
Li Tai, the king of Wei, said very proudly, for the matter of Tuyuhun, Li Tai, the king of Wei, had consulted many scholars, so he didn't wait for Li Xiang to answer, this guy spoke first, to show that he was capable in this regard.
The genus of the Tang Dynasty?
Defending against Tibet?
After listening to Li Tai's words, Li Xiang didn't know what to say, with a brain like yours, can you still be called Guang Youcai?
Thinking about it, I understand that Li Tai, the king of Wei, is Li Shimin's favorite prince, and the people below just flatter him, anyway, he doesn't need to spend money to pat himself, Li Tai is estimated to have lost himself in all kinds of sycophants, and he really regards himself as a talented person.
"Erlang is right, Zaterke once traveled extensively in Qujiang and left many poems, which is quite the style of my Tang Dynasty literature."
Hearing Changsun Chong say this, Li Xiang knew that his two imperial horses were given away in vain, and this guy was still a staunch Wei Wang Party.
For Zaterke, the eldest grandson Huanting has also heard of it for a long time, but at this moment Li Xiang has not expressed his position, so the eldest grandson Huanting has not said anything, and his relatives are respected from top to bottom during the Zhenguan period, could it be that Li Xiang still has different meanings?
So before Li Xiang didn't express his attitude, the eldest grandson Huanting couldn't speak.
"Xiang'er, what do you think?"
Li Tai's answer was decent, and the eldest grandson Wuji couldn't see any performance on his face, so he asked Li Xiang directly at this time......
