Chapter 903: Go to my sister-in-law's house for a banquet
Another day has passed, and everyone is nervously preparing for the wedding, including Zhang Jiuli and Qian Ping, this matter is also their business, bringing all kinds of gifts from Datang, which is also to be given to the high-level of Nanzhao, which can be regarded as buying people's hearts, and by the way, let them perceive Datang's goodwill.
"Your Highness, you made an appointment to go to Princess Yongping's mansion, that is, Lord Duan Haiduan's mansion, did you bring this gift over in person, or us?"
When Qian Ping redistributed these gifts, if there were no special circumstances, he would naturally send them directly on behalf of Li Xiang, but if there was something similar, for example, Li Xiang had already made an appointment with others, then he had to ask Li Xiang for instructions, don't do anything wrong.
Thinking of the ripe sister-in-law, Li Xiang's heart of Cao thief seems to have it, Li Xiang has always thought that he doesn't have Cao De's heart, but when those two people appear in his mind, he is really a little overwhelmed.
"Take advantage of the fact that there is nothing to do in the past two days, you ask in private, if Princess Yongping is okay over there, just say that this king is going to visit the door, and ask the people in the house over there not to miss anyone."
Friendly contacts with the high-level of Nanzhao were also one of the policies formulated before, so when Li Xiang said this, he told himself in his heart that this was purely to complete the affairs of the imperial court, and it had nothing to do with his own careful thinking.
Qian Ping didn't take it seriously, after all, it was His Royal Highness who made an appointment with others, and others can talk without words, but our shop represents the entire Tang Dynasty, if you really go to their house to have a drink, then Duan Hai can blow it.
Of course, it is also possible that His Royal Highness wants to promote him, although Duan Hai was born in Nanzhao's big family, but the elders of the family died relatively early, so this generation he has already become the patriarch of the family, originally the Duan family was also one of the best families in Nanzhao, but after his generation, his power was greatly reduced.
Playing with power itself is Li Xiang's specialty, if you want to build the third pole in Nanzhao, then Duan Hai is definitely a suitable candidate, Qian Ping has been following Li Xiang for a long time, although he didn't say it now, but he also thought that Li Xiang was this idea.
Just when the two were talking, someone at the door had already come to report, saying that Princess Yongping had written a handwritten letter, and Duan Hai personally brought someone here, hoping that Li Xiang could go to the banquet in the evening, which was also said before, but the date was not set before, Duan Hai must have asked someone to inquire, and Li Xiang's schedule is free today.
In fact, the Zhennan Mansion sent people to send posts every day, but Li Xiang never met with this person, after all, if they met, then it would be a little difficult to explain to the king of Nanzhao, everyone knew that the two brothers were inseparable, and Li Xiang always had to take care of his father-in-law's face.
"Lord Duan is really a true temperament, today you are going to take me over for a drink, is it that if I don't go, you have been pressing this matter in your heart?"
For Duan Hai, Li Xiang can't talk about liking or hating, he just thinks that this guy has a bit of a real temperament.
"Your Highness is right, I have already taken your war horse away yesterday, if you don't go to my side for a meal today, then I have nowhere to put my face, and now the people in the royal city know about us, and please Your Highness can deign to have a light meal at home."
Duan Hai definitely couldn't say this, if he guessed correctly, he must have been taught by Princess Yongping at home, otherwise Duan Hai must have said the same thing in the military camp.
"Lord Duan has already said this, this king happens to have nothing to do today, and he will definitely pass over in the evening."
After listening to Li Xiang's words, Duan Hai's heart couldn't be happier, you must know that Duan Hai used to invite people to drink in the past, but those people were all twisted and pinched, either there was a problem here or there, although it passed in the end, but the past was very unhappy.
At this time, Duan Hai wanted those people to see, what are you twisting? Look at His Royal Highness the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, what people have agreed to will not carry any delay, if you compare your status, can you still be higher than others? If you want to go to my Duan family for dinner in the future, you have to see if you have the ability, the entire high-ranking officials' mansion in Nanzhao Wangcheng, except for my Duan family, is there anyone else who has this glory?
Duan Hai happily went back to prepare, riding a high-headed horse to swagger through the market along the way, and also let half of the people in Wangcheng know the news, they used to feel that the Duan family was weakened, maybe in a few years, they would have to become famous from the first-class family, and now it seems that the skinny camel is bigger than the horse.
Some people are also speculating about this matter, His Royal Highness the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty came to us, and it seems that he can really change some patterns, for example, the former aggressive King Zhennan, hasn't the fire been extinguished in the past few days? I haven't heard of anything excessive.
There is also the Duan family, which was brilliant in the past and is now declining, haven't they also found a shortcut? Mrs. Duan and the princess Li Xiang is about to marry are sisters, can there be less support from Chang'an in the future? Maybe this may be an opportunity for the Duan family, it seems that the relationship that has been reduced before has to be picked back.
Ordinary people only think of this layer, but people with brains think of that layer, that is about the prince of Nanzhao, that is also with Princess Yongning is a brother and sister, once Princess Yongning blows the pillow wind, then is there any hope on the side of King Zhennan?
In the eyes of many Nanzhao people, although the king of Zhennan is powerful, he is just a powerful ant, if you want to confront Datang, it is basically impossible, Datang can trample him to death at any time, so in this matter, everyone has started activities in their hearts again, including the people who have belonged to the king of Zhennan, they are all thinking about whether it is time to turn around to the king?
After learning the news in the palace, King Nanzhao was also very happy, Duan Hai was his son-in-law, and Li Xiang was also his son-in-law, originally he also wanted to rely on Duan Hai to resist King Zhennan, but the strength of the Duan family had declined greatly, and now if Li Xiang was allowed to pull it, he would be able to help the situation from the side, and maybe the Duan family would be able to get up.
In addition, Duan Hai has no ambition, such a person helps him manage the country, that is the most reassuring thing......
