Chapter 554 - Be Wu Meiniang's father-in-law (Thanks to the little foot HK for the tip!) )

Living room. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

As soon as Li Chao appeared, he was immediately drowned out by everyone's greetings.

"Li Xianghao."

"Meet Li Xiang."

The people who can enter the living room are all people who get hot stamping invitations, but Li Chao still doesn't know most of them. Many people, Li Chao knows his parents, and now many of them have been working for a long time, so the main ones who come are the children and nephews of the family. Although many of these people are older than Li Chao, Li Chao is already the prime minister of the dynasty, but they are only ordinary seven or eight-rank guards and idle positions.

After greeting them one by one with a smile on his face, Li Chao went to other halls and greeted the other guests who came in circles.

Back in the main hall, Samurai Tong took the initiative to greet him.

"Li Xianghao."

Li Chao saw Wu Shi Tong just now, and when he saw him coming, he wanted to get out of the way quietly, but he didn't expect him to stop him directly.

Of course, Li Chao knew Wu Shi Tong, the old chairman's person, the Taiyuan hero, the founding father of the Wude Dynasty, and the person who had taken the death free gold coupon. It turned out that he had been serving as a janissary officer in the forbidden army of Tianzi Yuan, and he was deeply trusted by Li Yuan.

It's just that once a son of heaven and a courtier, the more old people who are trusted by the emperor, the less likely they are to be trusted by the current emperor.

Pei Lin is like this, Feng Lun is like this, and this warrior is the same.

If it weren't for the fact that Wu Shi Tong married Yang Gongren's niece, and Li Shimin also took Yang Gongren's niece, and Yang Gongren helped him say a lot of good things, Wu Shi Tong would not have been able to become a squire in the Ministry of Works after being transferred from the army from the original Tianzi Yuan. Even if the Ministry of Industry is a less important yamen among the six ministries, it is also one of the six ministries, the Ministry of Works, and that is the deputy official of the Ministry of Industry.

Even if you sit on a cold bench in the Ministry of Industry to have a casual meal, it is also a high-level cold bench at the level of a waiter.

"It turned out to be Yoshihara, thank you for coming."

The greeting on the scene still has to be fought, Li Chao has no personal opinion on the warrior Tong, but after all, this is a henchman of the emperor, and now the yuan has not been changed, and Li Chao doesn't want to get too close to these old ministers.

"I haven't congratulated Li Xiang yet, in this short period of time, the Li family has added five dings and one daughter, this is really joyful, and the clan is thriving."

"I've borrowed your good words."

"Li Xiang, can you take a step to speak?"

Li Chao pondered for a moment, "Then let's go to this porch to talk, it's cool there." ”

The other party's identity is sensitive, Li Chao is reluctant to come to the study to talk alone, in case it is said that it is a secret room conspiracy or something, although Li Chao believes that Li Shimin will definitely be able to believe him, but it is always saved to make people make a fuss.

The two of them moved down the porch.

"Xiangguo served as the envoy of Hanjing, and he won the trust of His Majesty. Presumably, Xiangguo should also know that I was a businessman in Bingzhou back then, selling tofu and starting out in the timber business. Back then, I got acquainted with the Emperor Taishang because the Emperor Taishang was responsible for the construction of Jinyang Palace, and I provided a lot of wood to the Emperor Taishang at that time, so I got acquainted. ”

"I've heard of it." Li Chao nodded, "Yiyuan Gong was young and ambitious, he didn't forget to study in business, and he was also very good at business, and he quickly changed from picking tofu to selling tofu to a successful businessman selling timber, which is admirable." ”

"Actually, it's nothing, although I picked tofu to sell when I was young, but when I was young, my family was also a merchant family, the family was wealthy, and I read a lot of books when I was a child. It was only later that the family's business went wrong, and the family fell into the middle. I sold tofu for a few years, but my family still left a lot of connections, and it was because of my family's connections that I was able to make a comeback. Wu Shi Tong said a few words about his own affairs, and then changed the topic, "Although I later abandoned business and joined Rong, and later Taiyuan followed the emperor to raise troops, but the original timber business, but also did not let go, has been doing, and now it is also a better job in this industry, especially my family used to be responsible for the palace wood of Jinyang Palace, so I am familiar with this aspect." ”

"Xiangguo is now responsible for the construction of Xindu, and I am willing to provide timber supply for Xindu, with quality and quantity."

Li Chao smiled slightly.

Samurai Tong came to him in such a hurry, it couldn't be as simple as just wanting to be a timber supplier to Xindu. According to what he said, the martial arts do this business, and there is some strength. No matter what you say, Wu Shi Tong is also a county duke, a squire, he used to be a businessman, but now he is a nobleman, and business matters are not so important, just let a steward be in charge, and there is no need to talk to Li Chao directly.

This could be an introduction.

"Yiyuan Gong is willing to help, of course this is a good thing, go back, I will have someone contact the steward of your family."

Samurai nodded.

opened his mouth, a little difficult to speak, but seeing that Li Chao seemed to be about to leave, he finally opened his mouth.

"Today's Xiangguo washed three banquets, a good day, a little abrupt, I want to have a happy and happy."

"How?" Li Chao asked with a smile.

"Dare to ask, is Erlang of the Li family already engaged?"

As soon as these words came out, the purpose was clear.

Li Chao heard the string song and knew the meaning of elegance.

He remembered that Samurai Tong seemed to have a daughter, and his wife was pregnant with another. If he didn't remember, Emperor Wu Zetian would be the second daughter of Wu Shitong.

So, the one who is pregnant is Wu Zetian?

The samurai Tong actually wanted to marry him.

It's kind of interesting.

"What does Yoshihara mean?"

"A certain abruptness, wanting to climb down the Xiangguo, the Wu and Li families are married."

"That's a good thing."

In the midst of Wu Shitong's apprehension and anticipation, Li Chao said the answer he expected.

"But!"

Li Chao took a turn, and the smile of the warrior Tong froze.

"Xiangguo, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it."

"That's the case, Ling Yuan seems to be more than a year old, right?"

"Indeed, the little girl Wude was born in five years, a little more than a year old."

Li Chao pinched his chin and pretended to be embarrassed, "Last year's, this seems to be a bit conflicting with the genus of dogs, and it doesn't match well." ”

"If that's the case, then I didn't say it." Wu Shi Tong said with some embarrassment, he felt that Li Chao was a tactful refusal. Although I feel unhappy, I can't help it, people can still save face.

"Otherwise, I heard that Mrs. Yang is about to give birth again?"

"I'll give birth in three months."

"I don't know if I'm pregnant with a man or a woman?"

"The doctor said it was a daughter."

"Daughter, what do you think of this, how about my fourth child and your second mother's engagement?"

The result was unexpected. Wu Shi Tong originally thought that Li Chao looked down on the martial arts family and was unwilling to marry the two families, so he found an excuse for some kind of discord.

Wu Shi Tong originally took a fancy to Li Chao's second son, that is Li Chao's second son, and now he has a title of the son of the founding county, and in the future, maybe after the eldest son attacks the duke of Zhao State, this time the son will be able to attack the duke of Lintao County.

Even if he doesn't attack the Duke of the county, after all, he is the second son of the Li family, and his future will definitely not be bad in the future.

But now Li Chao said that the fourth son of Na Shu was engaged to the unborn second daughter of his family, which was unexpected.

If it was at the beginning, Wu Shi Tong might have hesitated, but after Li Chao's unsuitable refusal just now, he couldn't help but have different thoughts in his heart. What he thinks now is that he can't afford to miss this opportunity again.

"Thank you Xiangguo for looking at so-and-so, so-and-so climbing."

"Well, why do you say such a thing? Shiro was able to get the samurai's daughter, and that was his blessing. ”

Samurai Tong didn't ask why Shiro was chosen, not Saburo.

Li Chao didn't explain it, as for the reason, it was actually because Du Shi Niang was a high-minded person, Wu Shi Tong was born as a businessman, and now he was an outdated old emperor, he was worried that she would dislike and unwilling to get married.

It's two orchids, who are easier to talk to, and I believe that they will not object to Li Chao finding a daughter-in-law who is still in the womb for his son.

"When the child is born, the two families will exchange marriage letters!" Li Chao said with a smile.

"By the way, can the second lady have a name?"

"Well, our eldest mother was named Shunniang, and Erniang gave her a good name, called Mei Niang."

Hearing this name, Li Chao nodded, Wu Meiniang, that's right, it's her.

The historical empress Wu Zetian, well, has not yet been born, and has become his fourth daughter-in-law Li Chao.

The deposed prince Cheng Qian in history is now his son-in-law and student.

Hey, unconsciously, Li Chaodu has become more and more seriously affected this time and space.

Just as the Xuanwumen Revolution was three years ahead of schedule, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji did not die, Li Shimin successfully ascended the throne, and the Turks did not come to Chang'an City, forcing Li Shimin, who had just ascended the throne, to come to a Weiqiao White Horse Alliance.

Change is like a butterfly, the wind stirred up will slowly form a storm and bring great changes to the world.

The crown prince did not die, the prince Chengqian was not deposed, and Wu Zetian did not become the emperor, maybe these changes will make the Tang Dynasty better.

Wu Shi Tong successfully married Li Chao and was very happy.

Li Chao looked at the warrior Tong, he was quite young, in history, the warrior Tong Xuanwu Sect had already begun to go out to the place before, serving as the governor of some real positions. Behind the Xuanwu Gate, he quickly fell to Li Shimin, and it didn't take long for the cold bench to be activated. In this regard, Li Shimin is still very angry.

Now Wu Shi Tong is sitting on a cold bench in the Ministry of Industry, and that is also because Li Shimin has not long been on the throne, and there must be a process.

"Yoshihara, I took over the task of building a new capital, the burden is not light, and there is a lack of reliable people around me. I wonder if Righteous Father would be willing to come over and help me? If you wish, I will write a letter to Your Majesty, requesting that you be transferred to Hanjing as the deputy envoy. ”

"Yes, of course."

Wu Shi Tong is now drinking tea and reading newspapers at the yamen of the Ministry of Industry every day, and he has no real power at all. I was impatient for a long time, he was originally a martial artist, and he really couldn't get this kind of cold reception.

Now that Li Chao is willing to transfer him out, he can't help it. What's more, the creation of a deputy envoy is a very important practical errand. If you do a good job, you definitely don't have to sit on the cold bench anymore.

"Okay, I'll go back and ask for someone to your majesty." Li Chao said with a smile.

After the negotiation, Samurai left happily.

Today, Li Chao is the host, there are so many guests, and Li Chao is needed everywhere.

"Ouch, Zhao Gong, what are you doing on such a happy day today?"

Zuo Yulin's general Hou Junji came over with a wine glass and laughed.

On the day of Xuanwu Gate, Hou Junji performed well and became the general of Zuo Yulin of the Northern Ya. "The person surnamed Wu is the emperor's person, so it's better for Zhao Guogong to have less dealings with him." He approached Li Chao, turned his head to look at the back of the departing warrior Tong, and reminded Li Chao in a low voice.

"Thank you for reminding me, but now in the new dynasty, the courtiers of the Emperor Taishang are now also His Majesty's courtiers."

"Zhao Gong speaks high, and the angle of looking at the problem is different from us old coarse, no wonder His Majesty wants me to learn the art of war with Zhao Guogong in the future."

"Learn the art of war with me?"

"Yes, Your Majesty told me and Zhang Liang and Zhang Gongjin today that while Zhao Guogong is still in Beijing, let us have more time to come to Ba Shang and learn the art of war with Zhao Guogong." Hou Junji said in a loud voice, for fear that others would not hear it.

Hou Junji is the general of the left Yulin of the Northern Ya, and Zhang Liang is the general of the right Yulin, Zhang Gongjin is the general of the newly built Beiya Right Shence Army, and the general of the Left Shence Army is Wei Chigong.

In the end, Li Shimin decided to select 10,000 Ruishi cavalry and established a special cavalry unit in the Beiya Forbidden Army, but the name was changed to the left and right Shence Army, each with 5,000 people.

The left and right Yulin and the left and right Shence, the four armies of the Northern Ya, a total of 30,000 standing forbidden troops, and the four generals, all of whom are Li Shimin's henchmen.

It's just that to Li Chao's surprise, Li Shimin actually called the three generals Hou Junji, Zhang Liang, and Zhang Gongjin to learn the art of war from him.

Didn't Hou Junji learn the art of war from Li Jing in history?

It seems that he has changed history again! (To be continued.) )
