General Zuo Wuwei, Prince of Heshun County, this was Li Shimin's reward to Yi Nan, and it was announced on the spot at the banquet.
Among the many tribal leaders who surrendered, this reward can be said to be quite generous.
But it was obvious that Yi Nan didn't want it, but he had to hold his nose and ask for it.
Because not accepting it means refusing to surrender, and the consequences are needless to say.
The feast lasted until midnight, and Li Shimin announced the rewards to the soldiers early the next morning.
Li Chengqian also accepted the congratulations from the courtiers.
Although he watched the whole process without exerting any effort, as a prince, being able to participate in the frontline war is something worth talking about.
In the eyes of the ministers, as long as it has no side effects, it is the greatest effect.
In the evening, the eldest grandson Wugu held a family banquet in the Lizheng Hall of Yong'an Palace to welcome the eldest son.
Li Tai, Chang Le, Chang Sun Chong, Gao Yang, Fang Yiai, Cheng Yang, Du He and others were all present.
Chen Jingke naturally wanted to attend, as he envied Li Chengqian for being able to go to the battlefield.
Of course, he is just a fan of Ye Gong. If he were allowed to go, he would be more afraid than anyone else.
But that doesn't stop him from being envious.
At such a happy moment, it is inevitable to want to have a few drinks, but only Changsun Wugou can make the decision on this matter.
Li Chengqian looked at her expectantly: "Mom, look..."
Changsun Wuguo knew that it was better to clear the water than to block it, so he said: "You can drink a little, but don't be greedy for too much."
Li Chengqian, Li Tai and others were very happy and said: "Thank you, mother."
However, Chen Jingke still practiced his preference of not drinking alcohol and drank with them for a while with tea instead of wine.
He doesn't drink alcohol not because of illness, but because he simply feels it doesn't taste good, so he doesn't have any drinking complex.
During the dinner, Chen Jingke asked: "Da Lang, how do you feel about joining the army this time?"
Li Chengqian seemed to have countless emotions and thousands of words to say, but after thinking about it for a long time, he only said one sentence: "What you see on paper is ultimately shallow."
This is what Chen Jingke often said before, and he borrowed it here.
Li Tai showed a thoughtful expression and roughly understood what Li Chengqian meant.
Li Lizhi also seemed to have some understanding, but her feelings were obviously not very deep.
Li Zhi, Gao Yang, Cheng Yang and others were not aware of it and protested dissatisfied.
In their opinion, shouldn't fighting make people feel passionate? Why do they have such feelings?
It's obvious that the elder brother is perfunctory with them. No, we must talk about it carefully.
Li Chengqian had no choice but to follow their wishes and tell some inspiring stories about the military.
After their curiosity was satisfied, the few people calmed down.
Seeing the scene of brotherly and brotherly respect in front of him, Changsun Wugou was overjoyed.
For her, the first half of her life has been fulfilled, and now it depends on the second half of her life.
As a mother, the rest of her life is for her children to be harmonious and prosperous.
The family banquet did not last long and ended before the palace door was locked, making it easier for Chen Jingke and the others to leave.
Although there is no shortage of places for them to live in the palace, it is not a good thing for foreign ministers to stay in the palace for no reason.
Not even relatives.
Chen Jingke and Li Chengqian made an appointment to meet in detail tomorrow.
When I returned to Zixiao Temple, I saw Wu Shu gnashing his teeth and cleaning up Eleven.
When the little guy saw Chen Jingke, he felt like he was seeing a great savior. He ran over and hugged his legs and said: "Yeah... help... mother... fierce."
Chen Jingke picked him up and said, "What did you do to make your mother angry?"
The little guy quickly shook his head to show that he had done nothing.
Wu Shu said angrily: "What else? He actually threw the thing you gave me into the basin."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jingke raised his eyebrows and said, "What? What are you waiting for? Beat him, this useless thing."
The little guy realized something was wrong and screamed: "Weng Weng... help..."
He called Sun Simiao Aweng.
Of course, Chen Jingke wouldn't really hit him, he would just scare him to stop throwing things into the water.
In fact, he also knows that such threats are useless. Whose child has never washed things in the toilet?
As for the gift he gave to Wu Shu, it was a sports watch that was said to last until death.
As mentioned before, he will give each woman something he brought from his previous life.
What was given to Zhang Ping was the multifunctional compass, what was given to Yi Nu was the dagger, what was given to Yuzhu was the multifunctional personal shovel, and what was given to Wu Shu was the watch.
Fortunately, the watch is drop-proof and waterproof, and it can withstand high temperatures to a certain extent. It is not afraid of being thrown into the water by Shiyi.
This is why Wu Shu was just angry but didn't take action.
If it really gets messed up, let's see if she doesn't beat Eleven's ass to pieces.
This thing is a symbol of her status, so nothing can go wrong with it.
After staying here for a while, Chen Jingke returned to his small courtyard, where he would stay overnight.
Yi Nu seemed unchanged after becoming a mother, and those who didn't know thought she was the child's sister.
On the contrary, Yuzhu next to her looks more like her mother.
After a night of silence, Chen Jingke went to the East Palace the next day. In fact, he and Li Chengqian didn't talk about anything important.
Mainly because Li Chengqian confided to him his feelings about this trip.
Witnessing the entire process of a war from preparation to intermediate process to the final result was a huge gain for him.
He kept talking for a long time, and even the officials who visited him and even the officials in the East Palace were ignored.
In the end, Chen Jingke became impatient and stood up to leave before he stopped without any explanation.
God knows how long he has been holding back these words, but as a prince, he must not say these words to others at will. If he finally catches someone who can say it, he will naturally say it to his heart's content.
…
As soon as Chen Jingke returned to Zixiao Temple, his subordinates informed him that Wang Fangyi and Li Xiaoyi had been waiting for a long time.
After asking, the two of them came as soon as his front foot left and the back foot came, and they have waited until now.
This sincerity was beyond words. Chen Jingke was very pleased and hurriedly went to see the two of them.
As soon as they met, the two paid homage to each other, and Chen Jingke accepted it calmly.
After seeing the ceremony, he said happily: "Yes, you two have lived up to the expectations of the saint and me."
Li Xiaoyi said: "It's all the result of training from real people."
Wang Fangyi felt even deeper and said gratefully: "Without the real person, I wouldn't be where I am today. You are my rebirth...rebirth..."
Originally, he wanted to say that he would be his parents again, but when he reached his lips, he realized that Chen Jingke was younger than him, and he couldn't say the words anymore.
The scene was an embarrassing one.
Chen Jingke pretended not to hear his mistake and said, "Then you two must have this ability..."
After that, the three of them started chatting, mainly about their experiences on the border. They could only be described in two words: wonderful.
Finally, Chen Jingke said: "I have been away from home for two years. When I come back this time, I will stay a little longer and spend time with my family."
Wang Fangyi and Li Xiaoyi exchanged glances before saying cautiously: "Master, I wonder where Qian Qi should go?"
Chen Jingke paused for a moment and said: "The saint has his own arrangements. You don't need to worry about it. In short, it is a result that satisfies everyone."
This was almost unsaid, and the two of them felt itchy.
But he also knew that Chen Jingke didn't want to say more, so he could only stand up and say goodbye sadly.
Chen Jingke also stood up to see him off. When he walked to the door, he remembered something and asked quickly: "Fang Yi, I remember you are not married yet, right?"
Wang Fangyi didn't know why he asked this question, but he replied honestly: "No good girl was willing to marry me back then. In the past two years, I have been busy with military affairs and have no time, so I have been delaying it until now."
Chen Jingke smiled and said, "I guess the eldest princess and aunt are both worried about this matter."
Wang Fangyi said sheepishly: "I did urge this matter, but I was not in Beijing at the time and there was nothing I could do."
Li Xiaoyi interjected: "It's not just urging, it's just a letter every three days. When Fang Yi saw the letter from home, he was trembling all over."
"Haha." Chen Jingke couldn't stop laughing, and then said seriously: "I would like to be a Yue Lao for once, my wife's biological sister. She will be fifteen this year..."
"You have also seen the one in my family. The two sisters are carved from the same mold..."
Wang Fangyi was very surprised. He didn't expect that he would suddenly make such a suggestion.
But he was absolutely willing to marry Chen Jingke.
Not to mention his status, he had seen Wu Shu, and he had even seen Wu Shu's sister Wu Chang, who was indeed pretty.
However, he naturally couldn't make the decision on such a big matter by himself, saying: "Grandma and mother still need to make the decision on this matter."
Chen Jingke nodded and said, "Yes. If you are interested, just talk to the eldest princess and aunt. If they agree, you can bring someone over to propose marriage."
Wang Fangyi said: "Here."
After that, the two of them said goodbye and left.
When they arrived at the door, Li Xiaoyi said with a smile: "Fang Yi, I'm waiting to drink your wedding wine."
Wang Fangyi was happy in his heart and said: "It's still early, if I can become the ambassador, you must be the one."
Li Xiaoyi shuddered and said, "You are a boy who repays kindness with revenge. I want to sever ties with you."
After saying that, he drew a line on the ground with his feet, turned around and left.
This is of course a joke, every army has some little habits, Qianqi also has them.
That is, they don’t like to say goodbye, they never say goodbye to each other, and they just leave as soon as they perform their tasks.
Of course, it's not that we don't say goodbye at all, but we do it in other ways.
For example, we are now breaking off the relationship.
…
After seeing the two of them off, Chen Jingke quickly found Wu Shu and informed her of the matter.
"What do you think of this marriage?"
Wu Shu said happily: "Okay, it's really great. My hair is almost turning gray because of my little sister's wedding."
She had met Wang Fangyi before. His character, abilities and family background were all top-notch. He was trusted by saints and princes, and he was the destined future minister.
How could she disagree with this kind of good thing that is nowhere to be found with a lantern?
Speaking of which, Wu Chang's marriage was also full of twists and turns.
Mrs. Wu had previously booked the Guo family in the capital, which was also an emerging powerful family. She had a good relationship with the warrior Yu, and the two families were considered family friends.
It turned out that the man Wu Chang was engaged to was a complete scumbag, proficient in eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling.
He actually wanted to molest Wu Chang during a private meeting. The key was that Wu Chang didn't agree with his intention to use force.
Chen Jingke canceled the marriage without saying a word. Why would he keep such a thing?
Mrs. Wu still couldn't keep her face off. The two families were family friends and the relationship would be severed if the engagement was broken off. She also thought that any man was not romantic or something.
Chen Jingke was so angry that he directly asked her for a marriage certificate and went to cancel the marriage himself.
Then he found someone to put a sack on, and beat that scumbag six times in seven days.
Because of this incident, Wu Chang's marriage was delayed. She seemed to have been stimulated, and she was busy with her career with Wu Shu every day without thinking about it.
Not to mention, as expected of two sisters, her abilities are also outstanding, and she soon became Wu Shu's right-hand assistant.
It's just that her marriage has always been a matter of concern to everyone.
She is about to reach the age of hairpin, and she will become an old girl if she cannot get married again.
Now that Chen Jingke has introduced Wang Fangyi, it is really suitable in all aspects. How could Wu Shu disagree?
He immediately called Wu Chang to talk about the matter.
Wu Chang naturally knew about Wang Fangyi and did not object directly as before, but he did not agree either. Instead, he said:
"I have to meet him in person and have a chat with him."
Wu Shu was extremely angry, but who knew that this was her sister who depended on each other for life, so she had no choice but to say:
"Okay, okay, let's meet you. I'll ask the real person to help you make an appointment."
…
On the other side, Wang Fangyi returned home and told Princess Tongan and his mother about the incident.
The eldest princess of Tong'an said: "The sisters of the Wu family have the blood of the Hongnong Yang family, so they are worthy of my family."
"Sister Wu Shu took charge of Taoism on behalf of two real people and managed Taoist affairs in an orderly manner. The heads of various sects are so arrogant figures that they all obey her. Her abilities are known to the world."
"Although my younger sister is not as famous as my older sister, I have been learning from her over the years, so I think she will be right."
"What's more, the person standing behind her now is the medical sage. Speaking of which, we are the ones who have the upper hand."
The Queen Mother said hesitantly: "I heard that she was once engaged to someone, but later regretted the engagement?"
Princess Tong'an said: "As long as we are not married, what can we do if we regret the marriage? Besides, I have heard about it. The one who got engaged to her was Sanlang Guo."
"That Guo Sanlang looks good on others, but he has done all kinds of evil things secretly. If it were our family, we would regret the marriage."
"I heard that it was Chen Zhenren's decision to regret the marriage. After the marriage was called off, Guo Sanlang was beaten on the head with a cloth for several days."
"The Guo family reported the case, and the Yamen kept asking for an investigation. It's been so long and there's not even a letter..."
She couldn't help laughing when she said this, and the Queen Mother also laughed.
There is no doubt that this matter was most likely done by Chen Zhenren, and everyone in the capital knew about his bad taste.
This Guo Sanlang was lucky enough to have just been beaten, but he dared to report it to the official, which is really unthinkable.
At this point, the marriage is considered a success.
In order to express her sincerity, Princess Tong'an went to Zixiao to see Sun Simiao, and then went to visit Mrs. Wu.
Sun Simiao was also very satisfied with the marriage and immediately expressed his optimism about the matter.
Mrs. Wu was eager to marry her daughter off as soon as possible, and since Wang Fangyi was excellent in all aspects, she was absolutely willing to do so.
The rest depends on Wu Chang's own wishes.
Chen Jingke specially handed Wang Fangyi to Zixiaoguan to give the two people a chance to meet in private.
