Chapter 121 The Simingshan Battle begins!
Wang Chen looked at the wedding process boredly. The ancient wedding process was really complicated, of course, talking about the weddings of those officials and nobles.
"Hahaha, I thank you for coming to my Taiyuan for the banquet. I will not return until I am drunk today!"
Li Yuan looked at the process and immediately stood up and laughed.
Everything Li Yuan did was purposeful. For example, this time, the reputation of the Li family reached a peak, while the other families were really unable to follow Li Yuan’s butt.
Li Yuan not only gained the support of a large number of nobles from aristocrats, but also won the hearts of the people and attracted many talented people.
Wang Chen never underestimated Li Yuan and Li Er from beginning to end, but Wang Chen felt that he underestimated them. He was indeed the founder of the empire.
"This time is not only the wedding of my second son Li Yuan, Li Shimin, but also my daughter!"
"I was so kind to my husband's son-in-law Chai Shao married my husband's youngest daughter Yinyin, and now I'm very loving!"
Most people also know the inside story, but no one exposes it at this moment, and Chai Shao, who was sitting below, pretended not to care and responded to the rest of the people with a smile.
"Hahaha, Duke Tang, I really have something to ask for when I come here today!"
Why didn't Wang Chen understand when he heard this? Li Yuan was already hinting at him. Wang Chen didn't bother to use his woman to play, so he stood up on the spot.
"Oh, Duke Wu is this?"
Li Yuan looked at Wang Chen and clapped his hands, and several Jinyiwei walked up with the boxes.
"Open!"
Wang Chen said with a smile.
Several Jinyiwei opened several boxes under the curious eyes of everyone.
"This is where I came to propose marriage to Duke Tang. I fell in love with Xiuning at first sight, and Xiuning was not married either, and it happened to be the age to get married, so..."
Wang Chen smiled, and then several boxes were displayed in everyone's eyes.
Two boxes were filled with jewelry, two boxes were filled with gold and silver, and one box was filled with various letters, which was exactly what Li Yuan wanted most.
"I wonder if Mr. Tang thinks these betrothal gifts are acceptable?"
Li Yuan originally wanted to make things difficult. If this matter was a little bit big, it would damage Wang Chen's reputation.
After all, Wang Chen has a good wife, so Li Xiuning can only be a concubine!
It is unreasonable that the legitimate daughter of a dignified Duke is a concubine.
But when Li Yuan saw the last box, his eyes changed drastically. He looked at Wang Chen's eyes that were unknown to the depth, swallowed a little, and immediately started laughing.
"Duke Wu is a hero and genius in the past, and also a pillar of the Great Sui Dynasty. My daughter, Li Yuan, is her honor even if she marrys Duke Wu as a child!"
"Today, I will make the decision to marry my Xiuning to Duke Wu. Please treat Xiuning well!"
Li Yuan not only laughed loudly, but also walked to Wang Chen, looking very enthusiastic.
"Then thank you Mr. Tang for your conscience!"
Wang Chen smiled and bowed to Li Yuan, and Li Xiuning finally put down the big stone in his heart.
"Come on, send this marquis' betrothal gift to the Tang Gong's treasury!"
"yes!"
Li Yuan was relieved when he saw the small box containing letters closed.
The last farce was over in a hurry.
Wang Chen took Li Xiuning and Yang Yuer back to an industry purchased by Jinyiwei in Taiyuan.
"Husband, what you wrote about are the rebellion of the aristocratic families and some dirty things behind their backs, right?"
After seeing that they were all their family members, Yang Yu'er spoke.
"Well, basically all of them are, none of the nobles in Guanlong have escaped!"
Wang Chen nodded with a smile. There were a group of Jinyiwei who was more than 100,000 soldiers, and they controlled these aristocratic families tightly.
"But husband, if you hand over these evidence, not only will the weapons in your hands be gone, but you will also indirectly help my father!"
Li Xiuning was also smart and immediately thought of something inappropriate.
"You two, don't underestimate the dirty things that the aristocratic families do. That's only part of it, hahaha!"
Wang Chen said that he wanted to laugh, and a box could not contain all the dirty things about the aristocratic families.
The two women looked at each other, both of whom were shocked by this fact. It was really so dark?
When he returned to the mansion, Wang Chen could only sleep alone in the same room, mainly because Wang Chen had to wait for another person.
"Mr. Marquis, Changsun Wuji has invited you!"
Suddenly, two people appeared in front of Wang Chen, Li Shan and Changsun Wuji.
Changsun Wuji was obviously a little confused and didn't know what was going on.
"Okay, it's a good job, you can go down first!"
"Yes, Marquis!"
Li Shan disappeared into the room with Wang Chen's gesture.
"Young Master Changsun, sit down!"
Wang Chen sat in front of a table, poured two cups of tea and put one in front of Changsun Wuji.
"I wonder if Duke Wu is looking for a senior official?"
Changsun Wuji is also a small official of the eighth or nine rank, so he naturally calls himself a subordinate.
"I heard that Li Shimin had originally been married to the sister of Brother Changsun's family, but why are they today?"
Wang Chen pretended to be confused.
When Changsun Wuji heard this, he fell into silence, his eyes slightly dim.
"Oh, it's still the creation that makes people mess with you. Maybe it's because my sister doesn't have that blessing!"
"Isn't this just that Mr. Tang looks down on your Changsun family? If your Changsun family is now a powerful gentry, do you think Mr. Tang will regret the marriage?"
Wang Chen continued to ask.
"It's not considered a regret for the marriage. After all, there was no betrothal gift. I can only say that I agreed verbally at the beginning, and I can understand Shimin!"
Why didn’t Changsun Wuji know that Wang Chen was provoking his relationship with the Li family at this moment?
"I am really a smart person. I really admire you Changsun Wuji, so I will not beat around the bush. Changsun Wuji, I will tell you that if you are willing to come to this lord's account, I will definitely
Reuse you vigorously!”
Wang Chen also knew that it would be better to directly tell the cards when facing a smart person like Changsun Wuji, and the effect would be better.
Changsun Wuji did not expect that Wang Chen in front of him was so direct and even made a promise to him.
Changsun Wuji admitted that he was moved, his Changsun family was once a big family, but his family had lost its power.
Now that Duke Wu, the most popular in the Sui Dynasty, personally invited him, Changsun Wuji felt a sense of flattery.
"Don't worry about this marquis. I will give you time to consider it. Of course, this marquis is not always open here, and this marquis rarely invites others, but as long as this marquis comes to invite him personally, all of them are great talents in the world.
!”
"You Changsun Wuji are a talented man. It's a pity to follow the Li family. If you are willing to come to this Hou, you will only get more reuse than you think!"
After Wang Chen finished speaking, he handed Changsun Wuji a token of Zhenbei.
"If you are the same, just rely on this token to find me! I believe that with your wisdom, you will consider it well!"
After Wang Chen finished speaking, he asked someone to send Changsun Wuji out of the mansion.
Wang Chen also thought deeply when he looked at Changsun Wuji who had walked out of the mansion.
…Changsun Family
"What's wrong with brother?"
Changsun Wuyou looked at Changsun Wuji's face with a sad look, and also stepped forward and asked.
I saw Changsun Wuyou wearing a blue long dress without makeup, looking so fresh and refined, like a pure lotus, not as good as a worldly fireworks.
"Wuyou, I'm sorry for you, brother!"
Changsun Wuyou was also quite smart, so he naturally knew what his brother was referring to, so he shook his head with a smile.
"Why do your brother blame yourself? It's not your fault. Wuyou does think Mr. Li is very good, but Wuyou doesn't have to be him. Brother, don't worry!"
Seeing his girl comforting herself, Changsun Wuji held the Zhenbei token tightly, and his eyes gradually became sharp and firm.
…Seven days later…Siming Mountain…
Yang Guang's dragon boat had reached Siming Mountain. Sure enough, the Eighteenth Anti-King directly intercepted the way forward.
