Gao Lishi smacked his lips, a little disappointed. I originally thought that Li Linfu, Yang Shenjin, and Ye Chang would get together and cause a storm in front of the imperial court, and then he could gain greater benefits from the chaos. It was Yang Shenjin who broke up without a fight, and Li Linfu and Ye Chang, who had almost turned against each other, actually seemed to be reconciled. At this moment, he heard Li Linfu speak again: "The sage regards the minister as reasonable, but the minister does not I have an unkind request, and I hope the saint will fulfill it." Li Longji laughed and didn't care too much. Based on his understanding of Li Linfu, this kind of unkind request was just for fun after a storm, and he said immediately. : "I" He originally wanted to say "I agree," but as soon as his mind changed, he changed his words again: "I just praised you, so you have to look good to me. That's what I said." "I heard that the sage once told Ye Chang that his marriage must be decided by the sage and his wife. The sage takes care of everything. I am afraid that these things have been forgotten, but Ye Chang is now twenty-three years old. "It's time to get married and have children. I asked the saint to be the matchmaker and betrothed my young daughter to Ye Chang." Hearing this, Gao Lishi secretly gave Yang Shenjin a thumbs up. "Ye Chang, why?" Man, the number one son-in-law in Chang'an City today, countless clans and dignitaries are vying to get married to him, even Gao Lishi, he just regrets that he does not have a suitable daughter, otherwise he will never let this son-in-law go, just Yang Shenjin, if he replaces such a one Twenty or thirty years later, or even more than ten years later, it is possible to become the son-in-law of a central minister of the Tang Dynasty, and make a lot of money. Gao Lishi looked at Ye Chang's expression again, but found that Ye Chang also showed a look of astonishment. Obviously, he was not prepared at all for what Li Linfu did. This surprise was definitely not fake. Ye Chang originally thought that after the two sides showed their strength and tested the bottom line in an almost showdown, Li Linfu would never want to recruit him as his son-in-law again. But he never thought that Li Linfu not only did not give up the idea, but also exposed the matter in a situation where he had no choice at all. This is almost a forced marriage But when Ye Chang thinks of Li Tengkong, his heart softens. His sister-in-law Fang once criticized him. The weakest point in his character is that he is too soft. Especially if others treat him unconditionally, he will never forget his old feelings. Xiangchong Niang and Li Tengkong, their identities are actually destined to be followed by a lot of troubles, but because they sincerely treat Ye Chang well, even if there are some things that offend Ye Chang's interests here and there, Ye Chang will not care. When Li Linfu proposed this request, Li Longji looked a little hesitant. He looked at Ye Chang, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "This Li Qing, is your youngest daughter a Kong Niang?" Li Longji has also met Li Tengkong, so for this The girl still had some impression. Li Linfu nodded and said: "The saint still remembers that she is Kong Niang." "I remember that she is your beloved daughter, but you are not willing to let her go out for a moment. How can you let her marry outside now She is going to marry to Liaodong. Ah, it's too far there, I can only see it once a year." When Li Longji said this, he looked at Ye Chang again, and suddenly remembered that Ye Chang only returned to Beijing once a year, and the last time he returned to Beijing, he helped him. He persuaded Yang Yuhuan to return to the palace. This time when he returned to Beijing, he deliberately ignored him. He felt somewhat sorry for him and couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart. But in the blink of an eye, Li Longji put aside this apology. As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he did not need such apology. He stared at Li Linfu. Li Linfu was the prime minister and Ye Chang was a side general. The prime minister and the side general were related. There was a huge political risk hidden behind it. Li Linfu would not fail to consider it. Therefore, Li Longji slowly said: "Li Qing is willing to let Kong Niang marry far away in that desolate land of Liaodong?" "I am reluctant to give up, so I have selfish motives. Please allow the saint to allow Ye Changyao to lead the Liaodong March Army. He appointed someone else as the Sima of Liaodong, leaving Ye Chang in the capital." Li Linfu said without changing his expression: "In this way, the minister will get a loving son-in-law, the saint will get a good minister, Ye Chang will get a good position, and the minister will get a good spouse. The best of all worlds. His words made Li Longji couldn't help but laugh: "It's good for you to take advantage of everything and still say that I have a good minister Could it be that he is not my good minister since he is on the border?" Over the years, the border generals have spent more and more money, but with his general record of beheading thousands and capturing over ten thousand people, there are few times when he is like a young tiger and an eagle. It is a waste to be detained in the capital." Li Longji expressed his objection. , but his attitude is not firm. Everyone understands that he is still very concerned about the marriage between Li Linfu and Ye Chang - the marriage between the central prime minister and the border general is a huge threat to the imperial power. , Ye Chang's greatest skill is not in border management, but in financial management. If he is in the center, above the court's financial management, he will have one more expert. The ministers will not avoid relatives, and they feel that their financial management skills are not as good as Ye Chang's. " Li Longji was immediately moved. "The older a person is, the more greedy he becomes for money, and this is the case with Li Longji. He doesn't really want to hide money in the inner treasury, but he likes to see the inner treasury being filled and spent at the same time. It feels like running water. He already knows Ye Chang's ability to make money. If he were in the center, he could also make money like this.?, then Ye Chang's significance to Li Longji is even greater than his one or two victories on the frontier. At this time, the Tang Dynasty was full of famous generals, and even people like Wang Zhongsi could only be driven to Sichuan to eat rice. Frankly speaking, as long as the court remained enterprising, it didn't matter if there was one more Ye Chang or one less. But there are never too many people making money. "I think this matterif no one else objects, then" "I object" Just as Li Longji was about to accept the matter, he suddenly heard someone say loudly. Li Longji has made a decision, and there are still people who dare to object? Everyone, including Ye Chang, was shocked. Even Li Longji himself was stunned and looked sideways displeased. At this glance, his displeasure turned into embarrassment. "Shou'an, why are you here?" The one who came in front of everyone was none other than the twenty-nine noble Lord, Chong Niang. After preparing to officially designate her as a princess, she finally got a formal name, Li Shou'an (this is the title of the insect queen in history). "Father, my daughter will not marry anyone other than Ye Chang. If my father betroths another woman to Ye Lang, then let me be a concubine." Chong Niang glanced at Ye Chang, then knelt down in front of Li Longji. before. Although Li Longji was mentally prepared, he was still so frightened by Shou'an's words that he opened his mouth wide and could not close it for a long time. Li Linfu's eyes flashed with strange lights, and he felt angry and helpless at the same time: Who would have thought that a majestic princess of the Tang Dynasty would actually say in front of so many people that she would not marry someone else, and this person was still present Ye Chang also said Stunned. Chong Niang is a little willful and has a bad temper, but overall, she is a rare kind-hearted person among the girls in the clan. Although she was a fake Taoist nun, she always used her small private house to support orphans and help the poor. Even after being helped by Ye Chang, she still did this. She has some shortcomings in her temperament, but she is good at it, and she is really kind to Ye Chang. When Ye Chang proposed the strategy of managing the frontier, others either laughed at or looked down upon her. Only she used her identity to mobilize the daughters of noble families in Chang'an City to provide Ye Chang with a sum of funds, which later became the Andong Chamber of Commerce. . It can even be said that the circle of political power that Ye Chang now uses to protect himself was created by her for Ye Chang. She said so directly at this time that she would not marry anyone other than Ye Chang, which made Ye Chang feel at a loss and deeply moved. A girl said these words in front of her father, and her father was regarded as the emperor. How could she have done it without the courage and determination to fight to the death? Li Longji had a sullen face, and it turned out to be a big deal. angry. Chong Niang has not been favored by him since she was a child. There are three reasons. One is that her mother is a Hu girl and has a low status. The other is that she was not born at full term. Li Longji has some doubts that she is not of his blood. The third is that she is not born at full term. Producers are said to be unfavorable to their parents. Therefore, Chong Niang was raised as a Taoist nun from an early age, and her mother disappeared before she became sensible. But as soon as the anger surged up, Li Longji's heart moved. ??For the king, there is only interest and no friendship. Ye Chang is a rare talent. He seems to know everything about military affairs, finance, and internal affairs. If a person like this is a border general, it is not suitable to marry him, whether he is the daughter of the prime minister or the emperor. But if you stay in the capital and just work as a financial officer, how can you marry the daughter of the prime minister and the daughter of the emperor? How can such a good son-in-law take advantage of others? Thinking of this, Li Longji coughed twice and said with a smile: "Shou'an, you are becoming more and more disgraceful. Why don't you step back first?" But Shou'an knelt and refused to step back. Yang Yuhuan over there had a look and immediately stepped forward to pull him out. She helped her up and whispered in her ear: "Your father will make the decision for you." Without this sentence, Shou'an would never leave, but after hearing this sentence, she suddenly felt a little shy. stand up. How could he be so courageous that he actually said what he had hidden in his heart, and said it in front of so many people? Not to mention how his father viewed himself, how would Ye Chang view himself? When the two met, Ye Chang's care for her was definitely not love between men and women, and Shou'an knew this very well. After that, although the two kept in touch and met each other, her feelings for Ye Chang went from being touched by someone's care at first to being secretly attracted to her later. But what made it difficult for her to guess was whether Ye Chang had feelings for her. If we say he is ruthless, he is also so caring and meticulous that he even asked Noon'er to send some special items to the girl's home, which makes people shy just thinking about it. He can be said to be affectionate, but he is also involved with other girls. Talking about the Li Ye who was regarded as his forbidden twin in Dongdu, not to mention the Jiang Mei mentioned in Longer's letter, who was Li Tengkong in Li Linfu's house, there seemed to be something wrong with the two of them. Originally, she was summoned by Yang Yuhuan to talk to Li Longji to relieve her boredom, but when she heard that Li Linfu wanted to ask her father to marry Ye Chang, she didn't know where she got the courage to say something very bold. Looking back now, she didn't know where the courage came from. , or secretly afraid. But she was still not ready to leave because she was afraid of returning. She just followed Yang Yuhuan to a place a little further away,Finally, Yang Yuhuan pulled her further away, so she bit her lower lip and shook her head vigorously to indicate no. Yang Yuhuan couldn't help but smile bitterly and a little sadly. Chong Niang¡¯s courage both admired her and made her jealous. She didn¡¯t have this kind of courage at the beginning, so she was taken away from the Shou King Li Hao and entered the Taoist temple, where she was secretly summoned by Li Longji. She was in her prime years, so how could she be willing to marry an old man? But later, Li Longji carefully coaxed her, and the two had a spiritual connection in singing and dancing. Therefore, as time went by, she gradually forgot about Li Hao and focused on her wholeheartedly. Follow Li Longji and become the imperial concubine. Chong Niang dares to fight for her own happiness, which is beyond the reach of ordinary women. Seeing that Yang Yuhuan and Chong Niang were a little far away, Li Longji coughed again: "My dear, it's not that I don't rely on you, but it's just that this Ye Chang, I originally intended to betroth Twenty-Nine Niang to him and recruit him. Lord Therefore, when he saw me last time, I specifically told him not to rush into the marriage, just to wait for the twenty-nine mother-in-law to grow up. Now that the twenty-nine mother-in-law has grown up, she will be given a title and it is time for her to get married. At this time, I have to take care of it for them As for the stewardess, I will not let her be wronged. This time, don't we want people who are proficient in the six arts to come to Beijing for selection? You can select young talents with high quality and good character. What do you think of naming him as the first person, giving him a beautiful official, and acting as an iceman for Kong Niang? " Li Longji gave Li Linfu enough face. The emperor personally acted as matchmaker, and let Li Linfu take advantage of the national talent appraisal ceremony. It is a great kindness to choose a son-in-law of your choice. But Li Linfu had his own plans. The fundamental reason why he suddenly proposed marriage when Ye Chang was unprepared was for the benefit of his family. This fainting incident made him realize that he was getting old and it was not too late to cultivate a successor. It's just that now all the sons and sons-in-law are not living up to expectations, and the only one who may stir up trouble behind him is Ye Chang. Originally, Lu Qi might have been OK, but firstly, Lu Qi was ugly, secondly, he was younger than Ye Chang, and thirdly, he was defeated by Ye Chang. With Ye Chang in front of him, Lu Qi was no longer conspicuous. Since Ye Chang is related to Li Linfu's posthumous plan, how can he let Li Longji snatch away this good son-in-law? Those who are bold and reckless have an affair. I thank you for your pity on your young daughter, and I am also the same. If you don't follow his wishes, I am afraid that this young girl will not be saved" Li Linfu said with tears: "I ask the sage to read and serve your majesty. For the sake of decades, please help me." Li Longji heard that "there is an affair" and immediately stared at Ye Chang: "You are so brave, what Li Qing said is true or false?" Ye Chang? At that time, my mind was completely confused. Li Linfu must have been too shameless to achieve his goal. The so-called "having an affair", in this case, means that the thing has already been done. Li Linfu doesn't care about his daughter's reputation at all. If this news spreads, if the marriage between the two families fails, Li Tengkong will be forced to death. Even if the marriage is successful, I am afraid that Li Tengkong will become a laughing stock in the powerful circles of Chang'an.
