Wu Chengsi was led down by the eunuchs, and Wu Zetian glanced at Li Zhen and said, "He is messing around like this, you taught him!"

Li Zhen bowed and saluted, and said unhurriedly: "Wu Chengsi begged Weichen all the way, Weichen couldn't bear it, so he persuaded him to be sincere to ask His Majesty for guilt, Weichen reminded him that he could take the guilt, but before he actually took off his clothes, he had to hit the wall to seek death, Weichen didn't let him do it." ”

"I also believe that you are telling the truth, but do you think that he deceived the king and went north without authorization, and his sin is forgivable?"

Li Zhen sighed and said: "It is an instinct for people to survive in despair, he is also desperate in Lingnan, and he misses his hometown, so he did something foolish, after all, he is His Majesty's nephew, if His Majesty executes him because of his filial piety, it will be difficult to explain to the family." ”

"Bold!" Wu Zetian scolded angrily.

Li Zhen hurriedly knelt down and said in a deep voice: "This is Wei Chen's heartfelt words, Your Majesty is in favor of the minister, and the minister is grateful, and he doesn't want His Majesty to fall into family troubles, so he intercedes for Wu Chenghe." ”

Wu Zetian stared at him for a long time, his gaze gradually softened, and he nodded and said, "You are actually thinking about me, this is very good, you get up! I don't blame you." ”

Li Zhen stood up, at this time, Wu Zetian sighed softly, she thought of the Zhang brothers, and felt more and more sorry for Li Zhen in her heart, so she said to him: "General Li's concern, I remember, you go down first!"

"Wechen retires!"

Li Zhen slowly retreated, and Wu Zetian only felt upset for a while, and sat down on the couch weakly, looking out the window in a daze.

Li Quan visited Di's house and was received a grand reception, Di Renjie's wife Zhang personally came out of the door to greet her, invited her into the inner house, Mrs. Di knew very well that Li Zhen's eldest sister came to visit today, in fact, to discuss the marriage of the two families, Li Zhen's parents died early, so his marriage must be decided by the eldest sister.

In the back hall, the maid also helped Mrs. Di out, Mrs. Di was a little sick some time ago, and only slightly improved after a period of rest, but her body was still relatively weak, Mrs. Di hurriedly greeted her, and complained in a low voice: "What is my mother doing when she comes out on such a cold day?"

The old lady laughed and said, "I heard that Li Zhen's eldest sister is here, wouldn't it be rude if I didn't come to see it!"

Li Quan hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "Li Quan has seen the old grandmother!"

The old lady smiled and said, "You are Sister Li Quan! ”

"Yes! In the polo tournament, in the big tent of the internal guard, I met my grandmother, and Miss Di. ”

"Yes, yes! in Brother Li'er's big tent. ”

Old Mrs. Di was happy in her heart, and asked Zhang again, "Where is Ah Yan, why is she not here?"

"Back to her mother, she seems to have gone out and made an appointment with a few young ladies to buy jewelry. ”

"What are you doing running out today, this damn girl?"

Mrs. Di said apologetically to Li Quan: "My granddaughter likes to run around, but she is still very good, kind and simple. ”

Li Quan couldn't help but smile and said, "Old grandmother, don't apologize, I am very familiar with Ah Yan, and I like her very much." ”

"Hehe!

Everyone sat down again, Li Quan leaned over and smiled at Mrs. Di: "My visit this time is mainly for my brother and Ah Yan's affairs, as the saying goes, men should get married, women should get married, my family Ah Zhen is not young, our parents died when we were young, and my eldest sister pulled him to grow up, so his marriage is also my business, I don't know if Mrs. has considered my family Ah Zhen?"

Generally speaking, the matchmaker comes to the door, so there is a saying that the matchmaker is a concubine, but the matchmaker is only a form, especially in many large households, before the matchmaker comes to the door, the two parties have a tacit understanding or have finalized the marriage, and then the matchmaker will send the marriage book to the door, otherwise the matchmaker will come abruptly, and it will be very rude if he is rejected.

Of course, the matchmaker is just an intermediary to avoid the embarrassment of both parties, and it is not necessarily necessary, and the matchmaker in the six rites does not have to come to the door, if the two parties communicate well, the matchmaker can also skip the door and directly omit this link.

It's the same with Li Quan's door today, because he already has a tacit understanding with the Di family, there is no need for a matchmaker to go to the door to propose marriage, Li Quan also knows that since the Di family receives him so warmly, then this marriage is basically settled.

Mrs. Di smiled: "The two of them are in love, we really have no reason to object, and Ah Yan's father also likes Li Gongzi very much, and we are very willing to accept this marriage." ”

The old lady grinned, "The first day I saw him, I knew that he was my grandson-in-law, and I approved of it ten thousand." ”

Li Quan was happy in his heart, and hurriedly took out Li Zhen's letter of appointment, and said with a smile: "Since both parties are in love, today I simply did Nacai and ask the name together, this is our family's letter of appointment, please accept it, as for Nacai's gift, I will send someone to send it later." ”

Nacai and asking for names are still in the category of marriage proposals, and the next one is Najib, that is, the woman checks the birth date of both parties, or asks for a signature in front of the Buddha, if the birth date is consistent with the eight characters, or can be signed, then the woman can officially agree to the marriage.

In fact, the so-called check of the birth date is just an excuse for the woman to refuse, if the woman after further understanding, find that the man does not meet her own conditions, such as the man does not have a house, or the man is not behaving, or the family is not worthy, etc., the woman is unwilling to accept the marriage, you can use the excuse of the eight characters to return the marriage proposal, so that both parties will not be embarrassed.

Mrs. Di took over Li Zhen's marriage with a smile, she couldn't agree immediately, she still had to discuss this matter with her husband, after all, her husband was the head of the family, and only if he agreed, Ah Yan could marry Li Zhen.

"Okay! I will choose an auspicious day and go to the Bodhisattva to ask for a lot, believing that this is a good marriage. ”

The old lady next to her muttered, "What do you ask for a sign, what if you don't get a good sign?"

Mrs. Di couldn't cry or laugh, and the old lady wanted this grandson-in-law wholeheartedly, for fear that this marriage would not be successful, so she had to explain: "Mother, don't worry! I will definitely be able to ask for a good signature, and I will not let you down." ”

Since the words have been said to this point, Li Quan got up to say goodbye, Mrs. Di kept sending her out of the door, Li Quan smiled and said: "I have prepared the gift of Nacai, and I will send it when I go back." ”

"It's really hard Sister Quan, I'll prepare a little wine another day, and invite Sister Quan to be a guest. ”

"Surely!

Li Quan said goodbye and left, Mrs. Di saw her go away, and then returned to the house, as soon as she turned around, she found that the old lady was standing behind her, and she was also watching Li Quan's carriage go away, so frightened that she hurriedly stepped forward to help her, "Mother, it's cold and windy outside, don't get cold, go back quickly." ”

"It's just winter, and I'm strong enough to stand it, ah-sneeze!" Before she could finish speaking, the old lady sneezed loudly, and the maids and maids were so frightened that they hurriedly carried her back.

In the evening, Di Renjie came back from the imperial city, since Wu Sansi was deposed, there were only four phases left in the court, although there was one less phase, but without the constraints of Wu Sansi, Zong Chuke was lonely, and many government affairs became smooth, and Di Renjie's mood was also very good.

However, this afternoon, the saint summoned him, and actually planned to promote Wu Youning, the squire of the military department, to the secretary of the military department, Di Renjie immediately understood Wu Zetian's intentions, she was not reconciled, and still wanted the Wu family to enter the prime minister, so as to monopolize the power of the prime minister.

This made Di Renjie a little more troubled in addition to being happy, but he also considered that if the Holy Lord must let Wu Youning enter the phase, then she must at least agree to restore the seven-phase system, which he and Lou Shide and Su Wei all reached a consensus, and Zong Chuke also reluctantly agreed.

The carriage slowly stopped in front of the gate, Di Renjie got out of the carriage, and said to the housekeeper at the door: "Go and tell Madame, I have already had dinner, I am in the study!"

He walked into the door of the mansion and walked quickly to his inner study, like all high-ranking officials, Di Renjie also had an inner study and an outer study, the outer study was mainly used to receive some close and important colleagues, and the inner study was his personal world, where he read books, wrote chapters, thought about military affairs, etc., and spent most of his time at home in the inner study.

And the rules of the inner study are very strict, except for his wife, he generally does not allow anyone else to enter, but the youngest daughter Di Yan will sneak in and be naughty, so he is helpless.

Di Renjie walked into the inner study, the inner study lit a charcoal basin, warm and dry, he took off his coat, walked to the charcoal basin and sat down, roasted his hands for a while, and his whole body slowly warmed up, at this time, his wife Zhang walked in with a bowl of ginseng tea, and said with a smile: "The master came back a little late today!"

"Well, I drank two glasses of wine with Lou Xiangguo in the court room today and chatted for a while, so it was a little late, which made Mrs. worried. ”

Di Renjie smiled and took the hot ginseng tea, took a sip slowly, he felt that his wife seemed to have something to say, so he smiled and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

"Master, Sister Li Zhen has been here today. ”

Di Renjie perked up, and hurriedly asked, "Are you talking about Ah Yan's marriage?"

Zhang nodded, "It's a marriage proposal to us!" ”

Di Renjie groaned and asked, "What is the attitude of mother?"

Mother smiled from ear to ear, regardless of the initial recovery of the disease, and personally sent Li Zhen's eldest sister out, of course she is willing to do so, in fact, I also think Li Zhen is good, young and promising, very promising, and the character is also good, I don't know the master. ”

Di Renjie didn't say anything, although Li Zhen is good in all aspects, but there is one thing he doesn't like very much, that is, Li Zhen is too scheming and vicious, and Di Renjie also heard that the relationship between Li Zhen and Shangguan Wan'er is a little ambiguous, which makes him a little unhappy in his heart, although this kind of matter between men and women is not serious in Datang, and he Di Renjie is not a person who is bound by etiquette, the key is Shangguan Wan'er, that powerful woman, how can Li Zhen get too close to her.

Di Renjie pondered for a moment and said, "Let me think about this matter again!"

Zhang was stunned, her husband was full of praise for Li Zhen a few days ago, why is she a little hesitant now, she hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "Master, has something happened?"

If there were other things, she wouldn't ask more, but when it came to her daughter's marriage, she was very concerned about it, and she couldn't help it.

"Actually, it's nothing, no one is perfect! I just want to talk to Li Zhen again, and this matter is not in a hurry, right!"

After all, she has been a pillow person for decades, and when Zhang heard her husband say that 'no one is perfect', she knew that her husband was a little reluctant to this marriage, she sighed secretly in her heart, and persuaded softly: "If the master refuses to agree to this marriage, it is best to make it clear to my mother first, otherwise she will not be able to accept it." ”

"What do you want to clarify?" suddenly came the voice of Old Lady Di at the door.
