Although Li Xiuning is a girl, she is not stupid. She even studies the art of war and strategy, and is a woman who is both civilized and military. Such a woman is well versed in the art of war and strategy, and has great foresight.
So, she asked the question.
We must consider Wang Can's attitude and the attitude of the Li family.
Although Mrs. Dou is a woman and has been in the backyard all the time, she is not stupid. She smiled and said: "Xiuning, these are not things you should consider. Now that the marriage has been finalized, what you have to do now is actually very simple.
It's simple, just prepare to marry Wang Can. When you marry Wang Can, all you have to remember is that when you marry a chicken, follow the chicken, marry the dog, follow the dog."
After a pause, Mrs. Dou continued: "At that time, you will no longer be a member of the Li family, but a member of the Wang family. What you should consider is Wang Can's situation. So these issues are actually not considered.
necessary."
Li Xiuning's brows rose when he heard this, and he was very surprised.
My mother's words hit the nail on the head.
It made her feel a bit confused. Although Dou's words were simple and even made no sense. However, this perfectly explained that she actually didn't need to think about anything.
It is useless to consider many problems nowadays.
Li Xiuning solemnly said: "My daughter has recorded what the mother said."
Dou said: "Xiuning, your temperament has always been extremely tough. But how can we women be tough in everything? Especially after you get married, it will be even more different. Therefore, your own temperament will also be tough.
I have to collect it."
Li Xiuning said: "Don't worry, mother, my daughter will save it."
Mrs. Dou pulled Li Xiuning again, said some words of respect to herself, then stood up and left without saying another word.
Li Xiuning was left alone, but her eyes gradually darkened. The depth of her eyes made it difficult to understand what she was thinking.
In fact, Li Xiuning's heart was not as peaceful as she said.
After all, it is a matter of marriage.
However, as a woman of the Li family, she cannot make the decision on her own marriage. Now that she has said that she will be betrothed to Wang Can, Li Xiuning inevitably wants to know more about Wang Can.
After all, he is her future husband.
…
In Luoyang City, the Mai family.
Mai Tiezhang was extremely low-key in the court, neither provoking nor fearing people. After all, Mai Tiezhang was also highly valued by Yang Guang. He was Yang Guang's loyal minister and held a pivotal position in Yang Guang's heart.
In the study, Mai Tiezhang is handling government affairs.
Nowadays, apart from being in the Yulin Army, he spends most of the time at his own house.
After all, Mai Tiezhang does not form cliques for personal gain.
Apart from his old days in the military, he had little contact with civilian officials.
"master!"
Outside the study, there was a knock on the door.
Mai Tiezhang said: "Come in!"
"Crunch!"
The door of the room was pushed open, but the housekeeper entered, bowed and saluted the Mai Tiezhang, and said: "Master, there is a person coming from outside the house. This man's name is Li Xiong. He is said to be from the Li family in Longxi, and he has come specially to pay homage to the master.
"
"please!"
Mai Tiezhang gave an order.
The housekeeper went to inform him, and after a while, Li Xiong strode into the study.
As a martial artist, Mai Tiezhang, even though he was a general in the court and had a distinguished status, did not dare to show off in front of the Li family in Longxi, so when Li Xiong entered, Mai Tiezhang immediately stood up to greet him.
Mai Tiezhang cupped his hands and said: "Mr. Li, please sit down!"
"please!"
Li Xiong waved his hand, lifted up his robe and sat down.
After the guests and hosts are seated.
With a smile on Mai Tiezhang's face, he said seriously: "I have heard of the Li family in Longxi for a long time. Their knowledge is even more profound and there are many talented people. Speaking of which, I have admired the Li family in Longxi for a long time, but I just don't have time to visit.
.Unexpectedly, Mr. Li came to visit me first today."
This is a polite statement.
But when we discuss it carefully, it turns out that it says nothing at all, it’s just nonsense.
Li Xiong was Men Qing'er and didn't feel any surprise about such things. He stroked the beard under his chin and said calmly: "General Mai, speaking of what happened to me, it's the same
I have something to ask for."
Mai Tiezhang raised his eyebrows.
Unexpectedly, the Li family from Longxi actually asked him for help and directly said that he had something to ask for.
After all, the Li family in Longxi is a well-established family.
Under normal circumstances, such a big family would look down upon a martial artist with Mai Tiezhang's background.
Mai Tiezhang took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, if you have something to do, it doesn't matter. As long as Mai can help, I will do my best and never shirk the responsibility."
Li Xiong smiled and said: "General Mai is the only one who is most suitable to come forward in this matter."
Mai Tiezhang said: "I'm curious as to what kind of things require my intervention."
Li Xiong said seriously: "Wang Can's marriage."
Mai Tiezhang smiled slightly and said: "How can I come forward when it comes to Wang Can's marriage? Although I have a favor for Wang Can, in fact, in terms of kindness, it is just average. After all,
, I don’t have too many close friendships. Mr. Li, is it appropriate for me to come forward to handle this matter?"
Li Xiong smiled and said: "General Mai Miao, I am not asking you to come forward. I just hope that you can enter the palace and ask the emperor to come forward to grant a marriage and facilitate the marriage between my Li family and Wang Can."
Mai Tiezhang frowned even more.
When it comes to Wang Can's marriage, he needs to come forward and go to Yang Guang, which is a bit too much. Although he has Yang Guang's respect, he can't act like this.
Not everyone can ask Yang Guang to marry him.
Moreover, Mai Tiezhang did not dare to go to Yang Guang.
When Li Xiong saw Mai Tiezhang's expression, his expression was still calm and he didn't feel anything surprising. Because it involved Wang Can's marriage, Yang Guang was asked to grant the marriage, and Mai Tiezhang was asked to go to the middle to relay it. Mai Tiezhang might not be willing to go.
.
Li Xiong smiled and said: "General Mai, it is indeed a bit difficult for you to go directly to the emperor. However, when you go to see the emperor, you don't have to facilitate this matter. You only need to tell the emperor what the Li family thinks, and then ask the emperor to grant a marriage.
.You only need to relay it, there is no need to do anything else. Such a thing is not difficult for you."
Mai Tiezhang said: "But it's still not easy!"
Li Xiong said: "As long as General Mai goes to see the emperor and relays the matter to the emperor, then I, the Li family of Longxi, can promise to owe General Mai a favor."
Mai Tiezhang raised his eyebrows upon hearing this.
The favors of the Li family in Longxi are not simple, and in some cases, they can even save lives.
Mai Tiezhang's heart began to weigh.
Li Xiong sat quietly and did not disturb Mai Tiezhang, because he believed that Mai Tiezhang was not stupid and would have his own considerations.
After a while, Mai Tiezhang had made a decision. He looked at Li Xiong and said solemnly: "Mr. Li, can you represent the Li family in Longxi? You must understand that the Li family in Longxi and the Li family have huge differences.
difference."
Li Xiong said: "Since I'm here, I represent the Li family in Longxi. This time, the daughter I, the Li family in Longxi, are going to marry is Li Xiuning, the daughter of Li Yuan. General Mai can report this to the emperor."
Mai Tiezhang said: "Mr. Li, if you are so sure, will I agree?"
Li Xiong said seriously: "How can the general refuse something that is so beneficial to the Mai family? What's more, I, the Li family of Longxi, do not require the general to be a lobbyist, I only need the general to be dedicated to the emperor."
Mai Tiezhang said: "Mr. Li, having said that, let me digress a little. Are you so sure that after hearing my report, the emperor is willing to grant a marriage to Wang Can?"
Li Xiong said: "General Mai will wait and see whether the emperor will grant the marriage. Especially since General Mai relayed this matter, when the time comes, you will be the first to know whether the emperor agrees."
Mai Tiezhang said: "You are a fool if you don't take advantage of it. I will accept this matter."
"Thank you!"
Li Xiong smiled slightly, feeling very confident.
Such a result was within his expectations and within the expectations of the Longxi Li family.
When Li Xiong saw the iron staff coming down, he didn't stay much, got up and left.
Mai Tiezhang sent Li Xiong away, turned around and returned to the room. After changing his clothes, he went straight to the palace without wasting time. As Mai Tiezhang, if he wanted to see Yang Guang, he did not need to wait for the court meeting.
when.
The eunuch in the palace went to report it, and soon after, Mai Tiezhang received an order from Yang Guang to meet him.
Mai Tiezhang entered the siege city and saw Yang Guang in the main hall. He clasped his fists and saluted: "Your Majesty, Mai Tiezhang, pays homage to the emperor."
Yang Guangdao: "Mai Qing came to the palace today, why? You have always been in the military camp. Even if there are some small things, you try to deal with them by yourself. Now that you are here, I guess there should be big things."
When Mai Tiezhang heard this, he knelt down as if he were pushing a mountain of gold over a jade pillar, kowtowed to the ground, and solemnly said: "Your Majesty, I have come to plead guilty."
Yang Guang's brows rose, very surprised.
He never thought that Mai Tiezhang came here to ask for forgiveness. Such an action shocked Yang Guang. Yang Guang came to his senses and said: "Mai Qing, if you have anything to do, just stand up and say it.
I'm just curious. You have always been law-abiding. Why do you come here to plead guilty today? What crime have you committed?"
Mai Tiezhang said solemnly: "Your Majesty, today I accepted the benefits from the Li family in Longxi. The Li family in Longxi asked me to do something. It was said that the Li family in Longxi was willing to owe me a favor, so I agreed.
"
This is the method of Mai Iron Rod.
He did this on purpose.
Apologize directly.
By asking for forgiveness, Yang Guang asked, and then he told Li's request. In this way, Mai Tiezhang cleared himself up and got out completely, so that he would not fall into it.
Yang Guang attaches great importance to the generals under his command, especially important ministers like Mai Tiezhang. Yang Guang will never allow these people to form cliques for personal gain, because the army can only be subordinate to Yang Guang.
Once Mai Tiezhang took the initiative to persuade Yang Guang to grant marriage, it was tantamount to telling Yang Guang that Mai Tiezhang had a tendency and had a good relationship with the Li family in Longxi.
This made Yang Guang afraid.
But now, Mai Tiezhang would not do this, because he made it clear that he had received the benefits and excluded all the benefits from the Li family in Longxi, so Yang Guang would not be suspicious.
