Li Jiancheng's face slowly began to turn red, and he could feel the disappointment in Changsun Shunde's eyes. Indeed, he was responsible for the current passive situation, but he had tried his best and had been working hard to make up for it with Liu Hongji and Li
The relationship between Xu and Xu. Why can’t these people see it? Why do these people always have higher demands?
"When Hong Ji and Zhong Jian were drinking, I talked with them about our future choices!" Li Jiancheng cleared his throat and reported to everyone in a low voice. "Hong Ji thinks it won't take long for the Li family to rise again. Zhong Jian has always said that
My father was kind to him, and I think he will definitely repay him!"
"Something in return!" Changsun Shunde was so angry that he almost bit his tongue. "Tang Gong, I think Zhongjian has already repaid your kindness. Now we must come up with some new benefits to give him. Otherwise, I think Zhongjian has repaid your kindness."
…….”
"It would be great if Zhongjian was Hongji! The position we could have given him would have been higher!" Ma Yuangui added depressingly. If Tang Gong had arranged a higher position for Li Xu that day, those who are trying to win over him now would
Big men will consider whether their efforts are directly proportional to their gains. But now Li Xu is just a captain, and any of the generals can promote him to the rank of governor, general of chariots and cavalry, or even general of the fifth rank, Tiger Ben Lang.
position. Of course, the opponent will also have a position suitable for Li Xu. The war is imminent, and His Majesty the Emperor will not pursue a general for minor violations. Moreover, Li Xu does have dazzling achievements.
"Apart from personal love, there is really not much we can give Zhongjian right now!" Tang Gong Li Yuan looked at everyone, shook his head and sighed.
He himself is now just a Weiwei Shaoqing, so young people with little connection with him give up their great future and follow him all the time. Li Yuan asks himself that he does not have such popularity.
"We actually still have chips in our hands that can hold Zhongjian back!" Chen Yanshou's words sounded a bit desolate, "Zhongjian is a man who values friendship and loyalty..." He looked at Li Yuan and then at his colleagues present, "It's just this
Is the price too high for Mr. Tang?"
"Mr. Chen, you can't tarnish the reputation of the Li family by making assumptions!" Li Jiancheng suddenly stood up, blushing and accusing. He knew what Chen Yanshou wanted to say, and he also knew that Li Xu had already had a secret love for Wan'er. But the Li family
You can't marry your legitimate daughter just to win over a school captain. If this news spreads, wouldn't all the families with similar status to the Li family laugh out loud?
Chen Yanshou bowed his hand to Li Jiancheng and apologized for his nonsense. "This subordinate is reckless, I hope the prince will not mind you!"
"That's all, sir, it's for the Li family!" After the impulse, Li Jiancheng also realized his gaffe, waved his hand and said.
"It's not reckless. Zhong Jian does have an admiration for the second young lady. But if Mr. Tang agrees to this marriage, he will inevitably create a powerful enemy in the Chai family!" Sun Shunde, the eldest son, stood up and suggested cautiously and humbly, "
If a concubine's daughter is chosen to marry Zhongjian, Zhongjian's future may not be considered an insult to the Li family..."
"Zhen'er's age is about the same as Wan'er's!" Li Yuan sighed and said thoughtfully. If Li Xu was allowed to marry his own daughter, he would be marked by the Li family for the rest of his life. But at this time, the Li family sent someone
To talk about marriage, the purpose is too obvious.
"I can send someone to pick up Zhen'er. Her temperament is very similar to Wan'er. But there may not be enough time. Moreover, Zhongjian finally got a chance, but we let him give it up. It is really a pity!" Li Yuan continued
Said. If I were in Li Xu's perspective, would I give up my future for a marriage that I am not satisfied with? I'm afraid even if I reluctantly agree, I will feel very sorry in my heart!
"Tang Gong can first suppress Zhongjian's achievements, or keep him for a while in the name of complicated affairs in the food protection army. When Miss Qier arrives, let her get to know Zhongjian first, and then talk to Shimin.
Let's practice martial arts together. Then find an opportunity to tell him the wedding date of Wan'er and Chai Shao. I think Zhong Jian is also smart, and he should understand Tang Gong's painstaking efforts!" Changsun Shunde frowned and continued following his own train of thought.
"When he accepts the marriage we arranged for him, Duke Tang will contact his old friends and recommend him to serve as an official elsewhere, so..."
"The problem is, that may be counterproductive!" Li Shimin, who was only qualified to be an observer, finally couldn't hold it in anymore and blurted out. "If Zhong Jian really liked the second sister, he would not accept anyone else. His achievements are so eye-catching, and others
When pushing up, let’s push down, won’t those with ulterior motives leak the details!”
Changsun Shunde was stunned and swallowed the second half of the suggestion. "Second Young Master is right to remind you, I was reckless!" He changed his words with a smile, his eyes thoughtful.
"Let me tell you, Zhong Jian is a man with ideas, and others may not be able to pull him over easily. The days ahead are long, so why bother fighting for this moment." Li Shimin stood up and slowly expressed his thoughts.
"Yes, although this boy comes from a humble background, his determination is extremely determined!" Chen Yanshou's eyes began to brighten, and he smiled in agreement.
"If there is no support from any family, he will soon become the target of public criticism! Then the Li family will lend a helping hand..." He thought in amazement, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the second young master should not be underestimated.
"What Shimin said makes sense. Duke Tang might as well follow the previous book and explain the contributions of General Liu and Lieutenant Li in the Battle of Liaodong one by one. Zhongjian is a sensible person. He will know that we are sincerely planning for him.
!" A smile slowly appeared on Ma Yuangui's face.
"But in that case, Zhong Jian will be transferred to another army!" Li Jiancheng reminded hesitantly. If he was just looking at it as a friend, he would be very happy for Li Xu. But as the heir apparent, he had to consider the entire family.
"Okay, okay!" Li Yuan waved his hand, interrupting the eldest son's ramblings, "Just follow Shimin's suggestion. I will write the memorial myself and ask for credit for Hongji and Zhongjian!" Turning around, he looked
Li Jiancheng, who looked a little embarrassed, smiled and added, "You'd better move around more with Hongji and Zhongjian. No matter where they go, they came from our Li family after all. If they develop well, it will be a glory to the Li family."
You should always pay more attention to them. If there is any difficulty between the two of them, our Li family will do our best to help solve it."
"Yes!" Li Jiancheng stood up and answered. Is his father going to let go just like this? He felt it was a pity. But it's not bad to be friends with Zhongjian forever. This little guy is very loyal. He doesn't have so many things in his heart, and there is no need to talk to him.
Too many worries.
"You can do whatever you like, and you don't have to worry about adults' affairs!" Li Yuan smiled and nodded at his second son, and warned, "But don't drag your second sister anymore, she is already old and can no longer act as she pleases!"
"Yes!" Li Shimin happily agreed. From his father's eyes, he saw the rare appreciation. 'It's just the second sister...' Li Shimin felt a pity when he thought that he couldn't take Li Waner with him. The second sister was going to marry Chai Shao.
, he knew this in his heart. But the second sister likes to ride horses, hunt, practice martial arts, and chat with Zhong Jian. This is also true!
"Does the second sister really like Brother Zhongjian?" A narrow-minded thought suddenly occurred in the little guy's heart. He wanted to find an opportunity to ask the answer. Without any purpose, just out of curiosity.
In the evening, Li Shimin got into Wan'er's room and exchanged the secrets of the day's discussion for the answers from his second sister.
"Little devil, don't talk nonsense." Li Waner poked her brother's finger and said with some annoyance. "Damn Master Chen, what does he know! How could I like Zhong Jian? He can't even play polo.
He is stubborn, lazy, his clothes are not neat and tidy, and he is so coquettish that he always feels that he is very capable!"
Li Shimin couldn't help but opened his mouth. Was the second sister talking about Brother Zhongjian? Why did it sound completely different from the brother Zhongjian in his eyes? In surprise, he saw the corners of the second sister's eyes red with anger and tears rolling down her cheeks.
He said, "Look at his behavior, he doesn't look like he's doing anything at all. He's merciless, he's face-saving, and he doesn't allow anyone to tell him when he's wrong. For the sake of an official position, he forgets his promise in the blink of an eye.
, How can such a person compare with Chai Shao! Damn Master Chen, damn Changsun Shunde, how can they say that!"
"Look at how angry you are, dad didn't promise them!" Li Shimin felt distressed and took out the handkerchief and gave it to him. The second sister didn't like Zhong Jian, and he finally knew the answer. But why was the second sister so angry? Because of a few gossips
What?
Another question he hid in his heart, and waited many years to find the answer. At that time, he had married the niece of his eldest son Shunde, and started a glorious military career under the planning of his wife's brother Sun Wuji. In just a few years, he
I have seen countless strange women and tasted countless tears.
Some of the answers were not understood when I was young. By the time I understood them, the people and scenery at that time had long become memories. (To be continued)
