Looking at his daughter who was dressed up and looking like a flower, Li Er couldn't help but nodded proudly. His daughter was definitely no worse than other families. When he saw his daughter's smile from the bottom of his heart, he couldn't help but feel a little more happy. Guilt. In Li Er's heart, he has a country first and a family later. For the stability and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, he also married many women from famous families in political marriages. His own marriage could be sacrificed, and the happiness of his daughters would naturally They don't take it too seriously. Most princesses are used as political bargaining chips to marry meritorious children or generals from ethnic minorities. They never ask if they are willing, and never consider whether they are happy. Even the most beloved Li Lizhi is no exception. , was betrothed to Changsun Wuji's eldest son Changsun Chong early. If Liu Yuan hadn't promptly provided a way to break the "curse" of Tubo, he might have been forced to agree to send the princess to Tubo to get married. "Tiger poison cannot eat its seeds. Li Er's originally hard heart was infected by Li Lizhi's angelic smile. He began to look at himself and ask himself whether he should change. Li Lizhi thanked her again, and Queen Changsun took her again and told her some things. Li Er knew that the mother and daughter had some witty words to say, so he smiled slightly and led people out of Li Lizhi's boudoir, leaving space for them. mother and daughter. "Have you sent someone to read Liu Yuan's imperial edict?" Li Erleng might as well ask. The eunuch who was following him quickly responded: "Returning to the emperor, two quarters of an hour ago, Shangshu Zhou had gone to the Liu Mansion with the imperial edict. I guess he has read out the imperial edict by now." "Yes." Li Er just responded lightly. , and said no more. The father-in-law on duty couldn't help but think to himself: The emperor is so kind to the princess and General Liu. Looking at the Tang Dynasty, no one can match it. Princess Changle was granted the title of first-grade eldest princess, which was a bit excessive. In one fell swoop, the old system in which the princess's residence could not exceed 600 households was broken, and the number was increased to 800 households. They had titles, residences, annual titles, and rice. It can be said that they gave everything they could, and the long dowry The gift list is not included in it, and I don't show any mercy to the princess or General Liu. Originally, he planned to seal the title again when the bride was welcomed to show his love for the princess, but the emperor changed his mind temporarily. Before Liu Yuan left the house, he sent someone to announce the decree. Although the content of the imperial edict is the same, there is an obvious essential difference between the two things in terms of time: reading it before going out. It seems that the two of them are more matched. If it were read out at the time of the wedding, it would give people a feeling of "relying on women to get the upper hand", and it might also lead to a situation where "females are superior to men". Li Er finally gave up this idea. This was the emperor's favor for the two of them. At this time, the palace was decorated with lights and colorful, and it was very lively. The Liu Mansion was only one block away from the palace. There was an even more festive atmosphere, hosted by Cui Mengyao. The doors and windows of the craftsman's house were all repainted, and red lanterns were hung high, illuminating the Liu Mansion as bright as day. The smiling faces were like flowers blooming in spring. All the servants in the Liu Mansion put on new clothes, with expectant looks on their faces. The waiters were waiting for the princess to enter, but at this moment, everyone was kneeling on the ground to listen to the order like Liu Yuan, the master of the Liu Mansion. Different from the past, the person who read out the imperial edict at this time was no longer the old acquaintance Huang Eunuch, but Zhou Shishi, the Minister of Rites, who looked more solemn. Anyone with a discerning eye knew that this holy finger was of great weight, so he sent officials instead of eunuchs. , this dispatch to the Minister of Rites to read out the book was even more unusual. I saw Zhou Shi holding the imperial edict and reading it out in a measured tone. When he finished reading the last word and waited for Liu Yuan and others to return the gift, he then sent the imperial edict to Liu Yuan and said with a smile on his face: "General Liu, no , It would be better to call you Mr. Liu, the emperor is very kind to you, you must serve the court well and be loyal to the emperor. " This time, Li Er made a big move and named Liu Yuan the third rank in the imperial edict. General Yunhui, also a powerful general, was granted the title of Marquis of the Kaiguo County. He was given the third rank, and a thousand households in the city were fed. In addition, he was also rewarded with thousands of taels of gold, jade walls, jewelry, royal bows, royal bows, armors, and the four treasures of the study, etc., etc., etc. Even Liu Yuan could not count them, but he heard the promotions and promotions clearly and didn't miss anything. "Zhou Shangshu taught you a very good lesson, Liu will take it to heart." After Liu Yuan finished speaking, he said with some embarrassment: "There are many people in the court who have offended Zhou Shangshu. I ask you, Sir, to be more generous and not to argue with the younger generation." "Zhou Shishi waved his hand and said: "The sun will change, the moon will be round, nothing in the world is eternal. What you said makes sense. Zhou is corrupt, but he is not incorrigible. This matter has passed. We Don't offer any more. Besides, I'm here to congratulate General Liu on his promotion and wedding ceremony." "I don't dare. I'll invite Minister Zhou to have a glass of water and wine." "Definitely, definitely, someone else. Most of them won't go, but if General Liu has spoken, I will come here to ask for a glass of wine shamelessly." Zhou Shishi said with a smile: "Today is General Liu's great day. He will go to welcome his bride later, and I will also go back to resume my duties. I won¡¯t stay much longer and say goodbye.?¡± ?¡°Well done, Lord Zhou. "Liu Yuan personally sent him out of the house, and then came back. After sending Zhou Shishi away who proclaimed the imperial edict, Liu Yuan wiped his sweat and walked back with a smile on his face. "General, that's great, you can upgrade it to several levels at once. He is a third-grade official. " "Tsk, tsk, look, the purple robes have been sent, and the preparations are really thorough. " "Purple clothes are expensive, and you feel majestic at first glance. " " He is no more than 10 years old, has a third-rank official position, and is ranked as a marquis. The Tang Dynasty is a general with this ability. " " Having accomplished so many military exploits and done so many good deeds for the court, General Liu deserves all of this. " Everyone was excited, especially Guan Yong and Hou Jun. They were all very happy. They seemed to be happier than they themselves had been promoted. " Liu Yuan has made countless contributions and is very popular. Over the years, he has built roads and bridges, provided porridge and powdered medicine, etc., and has a high reputation among the people, but he has never received corresponding rewards. Many people feel that he is not worth it, but Liu Yuan has always accepted it and has no objections. Everyone was embarrassed to help. Such a meritorious official had been imprisoned in Yongzhou Mansion and imprisoned in the sky prison. Everyone felt unfair for him from the bottom of their hearts. They felt that the emperor had neglected the meritorious official. Now he is better, his official position and title have been promoted. There are also many rewards, including the most beautiful and elegant princess in the Tang Dynasty. It can be said that he suddenly "turned over" and became the master. Everyone is sincerely happy for Liu Yuan. "Everyone deserves to be respected for his ability." Liu Yuan said with a smile. Guan Yong said loudly: "My subordinates congratulate the general on his promotion. General, you can't skip this meal." " "No problem, take care of yourself. "People like to feel refreshed, so Liu Yuan readily agreed. "General, we are going to book the most luxurious restaurant in Pingkangfang this time. Don't be stingy with money then. "Hou Jun also joked from the side. "People are in high spirits during happy events. Liu Yuan has always been generous. Hearing this, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, as long as all the brothers like it." " All the vigilantes who came to join in the fun cheered loudly with excitement. Their general was indeed a generous leader. Yuchi Baoqing said excitedly: "Great, it's not in vain for brothers to come so far to cheer for the general. General. , Don¡¯t worry, as soon as you welcome the bride, if anything happens, your brothers will stop it for you. " Liu Yuan exchanged a few words with his men, and then walked to Cui Mengyao, Xiao Niang, Du Sanniang and Hu Xin. Seeing that the four of them had excited faces and didn't say anything for a long time, he couldn't help but smile and said: " Aren't the ladies jealous? " "No no. "My wife quickly shook her head and said, "Senior brother, ah, no, sir, I am happy for you from the bottom of my heart. " "Yes, the slave family is so excited that they don't know what to say. " Hu Xin, who rarely spoke, also said happily: "That's it, you can be promoted to an official position and a title, and you can also live in a thousand households. Oh my god, just do nothing, and you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life. Liu Yuan, you That's amazing. The emperor is so kind to you. I used to think that the emperor's rewards and punishments were unfair. But now it seems that the emperor has never forgotten your contribution. " Liu Yuan chuckled. He was enveloped by the tender eyes of the girls and watched by the admiring eyes of others. His whole person felt a little carried away. In fact, Liu Yuan himself did not expect that Li Er was so generous. , I thought he would just take care of himself as usual, but this time he was promoted to a higher rank and nobility, and he had as many as 1,000 households living in the city. In addition, he also had a lot of gold, gold and silver, etc. This was not generous. It's quite lavish. Once you become "one of your own", your benefits will immediately increase. Now, you can live in a town of 1,000 households, while Li Lizhi has 800 households in the town, so the total here is 1,800. Households, for this one item, even if he no longer serves as an official and does not do business, the food of these 1,800 households is enough for the Liu family to spend. In addition, Li Lizhi also has Sui Feng and Lumi. In this way It¡¯s another layer of protection. No matter what, it¡¯s good to make up for all the credit and rewards you deserved in the past. Even Cui Mengyao smiled brightly and pulled Liu Yuan¡¯s sleeves and said: "My lord, it's great. I am the Marquis of the founding of the country and the third-ranked General Yunhui. I am proud of you. "Who would have thought that a silly marriage that day would turn out to be so miraculous in the end. It was probably someone who had a divination and predicted that Liu Yuan would be ranked third in rank and a marquis. Others would definitely laugh at him and say that he was overestimating his abilities, but , The current maturity has exceeded Cui Mengyao¡¯s expectations. ¡°Without your support, my husband would not be able to reach this point. Liu Yuan said with a smile. At this time, the housekeeper Liu Quan came over and said with a smile:"Master, the auspicious time is coming soon. Please take a shower and change clothes. You will go to the palace to welcome the princess back later." Liu Yuan said hesitantly: "But here" "Ms., please go quickly. Well, I'm here to watch. If nothing happens, don't waste the time." Cui Mengyao said thoughtfully. Welcoming the bride is a top priority, and there is no time to delay. Liu Yuan nodded and hurried back to the room. With the help of the stunning maid Dai Lisi, he put on the groom's clothes prepared early in the morning, mounted a tall horse, and led all the brothers to show off their power. Marching toward the outside of the city in a mighty manner. (To be continued) PS: Every time I think about the last few chapters left, it feels very heavy to write.
