"I'm going to have dinner at my house later."

In the Imperial Garden of the Imperial Palace, Li Chao greeted Qin Qiongcheng, Li Ji and Su Dingfang, several princes.

"What's the good thing?" Cheng Yaojin folded a wintersweet in his hand, put it on his nose from time to time and sniffed it, looking like a thief in the flower picking thief.

"Isn't it a good thing to be the king?" Li Chao smiled, "There is a good thing. A few days ago, Prince Wei came to the door and said he would prepare to welcome Lian Niang into the Wei family on the 18th day of the twelfth lunar month. I think life is good. This matter has been decided like this. You uncles and brothers, don't have to help you? It's only half a month. Let's discuss what to do with this happy event."

Li Chao and Cheng Yaojin's family are also considered a good match for the Tong family.

Lao Cheng did not avoid suspicion and said with a smile, "Of course this good thing cannot be missing from me, Lao Cheng. Unfortunately, I don't have a suitable daughter, so I would choose someone to do the dowry for Lian Niang."

During the Spring and Autumn Period, princes married daughters, and scholars and officials sent their daughters to dowry, which was called mothers. There was also the habit of marrying daughters and small clans to dowry. Before, Li Chao had a daughter in Fanyang, and the four branches of the Lu family sent their daughters to dowry. It can be said that this was the demeanor of a thousand-year-old family.

The Li family has a close relationship with the Cheng family, and Cheng Yaojin's original wife died and married Cui from Qinghe, who was the aunt of Li Chao's wife Thirteen Niang. Therefore, Li Chao could actually call Cheng Yaojin "Uncle". This is also the norm for those top aristocratic families, who are married to each other and have mixed relationships.

Qin Qiong is Li Chao's adoptive father and is also a brother of the old iron spear. Lian Niang is also his goddaughter. Of course, he has to help his goddaughter get married.

However, Yuchi Gong, a black charcoal face, should not be approached by someone.

He said he was not available, and Li Chao smiled and said nothing. However, Li Ji, this guy actually found an excuse to say that he couldn't go if he had something to do.

"What do you mean by Li?" Old Cheng got angry on the spot. Li Chao grabbed Old Cheng, "It's okay, anyway, we will discuss some preparations later. It's not a wedding, so it's enough to have us."

Li Chao knew that Li Ji was avoiding suspicion.

After all, these people are now all princes, and every move is stared at by others. It is not a good thing to have a close relationship and is more taboo.

Li Ji has always been more cautious. He became neutral in the Xuanwu Sect change back then. However, we can't say that his idea is wrong. Being cautious and careful is always good.

Guo Xiaoke was also from Wagang and worked under Li Chao for a while. Seeing his reluctant smile, Li Chao refused to let him go. Otherwise, he would not be comfortable if he went there.

Guo Xiaoke's qualifications are far less than Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin. This time he was named the king, and he happened to be in Hexi. But the entire process of serving the king was to fight back, stabilize the way to Hexi, recruit troops, and when Li Shimin came back from the Western Regions, he led his troops to protect the troops from the east.

This is a free picking up a county prince. I don’t know how many people are envious and jealous. But sometimes, it’s like this, and it depends on opportunities. Just like the change in Xuanwu Gate, Hou Jun gathered generals like Zhang Liang and Zhang Gongjin, and before the change in Xuanwu Gate, they were just intermediate officers, but they participated in the change in Xuanwu Gate and became generals immediately.

Changsun Wuji was also named the second hero of Lingyan Pavilion, but he did not have a title of king. Fang Ma Duan was also not a title of king. It was because during this rebellion, they had no soldiers in their hands and were not a general who was in charge of the king's troops.

Military merits are always easier to get a title than other merits.

After the park tour, Li Chao, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and Su Dingfang left the palace, rode their horses and went back to Li's mansion directly.

"I heard that Your Majesty is going to let you have two more princesses." Qin Qiong, as the eldest princess's son-in-law, has a relatively well-informed news.

"Oh, is this happening?" Li Chao and Qin Qiong rode together, and were not surprised when they heard this.

This time, a large number of nobles of honors and nobles were purged, including many of Li Shimin's relatives. For example, Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, Chai Shao and other important officials had their sons engaged to Li Shimin's princess. But now Li Shimin killed Xiao Yu and the others, and even their sons were not let go.

Many princesses' fiancés were gone directly.

"Your Majesty intends to marry Princess Baling to your son and Pingyang, and to marry Princess Sui'an to your fourth son."

Li Chao said, Princess Baling was originally betrothed to Chai Shao's second son Chai Lingwu, while Princess Sui'an was originally from Dou Kui, who was promised to Dou Kang's grandson. Both the Chai family and the Dou family were involved in rebellion.

It is normal for the emperor to marry a family of meritorious officials. Li Shimin even took this marriage to the extreme. After the Xuanwu Gate, he asked every prime minister to marry a son with his princess. He even chose many daughters of meritorious officials as their princess' fiancée.

Of course, this kind of marriage is also effective, strengthening the relationship between the emperor and the meritorious officials. Of course, if you really want to rebel, the ministers will also rebel. When the emperor wants to kill, he will also kill him regardless of whether he is a relative or not.

For example, this time, Chai Shao, Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda and others were Li Shimin's relatives, so they were also against each other. Li Shimin settled the accounts after the autumn, and he was not ruthless at all when he cut off his head. Those young prospective son-in-law were not exposed by him.

"I heard that Empress Changsun is pregnant again." Qin Qiong revealed another gossip.

Li Chao looked at Qin Qiong a few times, but he didn't expect that his adoptive father had a gossip. However, it seemed that the queen had almost recovered after she was injured last time.

Calculate the time, Empress Changsun should be pregnant with Li Zhi this time.

However, Li Shimin had just changed Li Tai to King of Jin, so Li Zhi could not be King of Jin after he was born. Also, Wu Meiniang is now a lowly citizen because her father participated in the plot. Although Li Chao had to plead with the emperor, she was still young and was given a special offer to raise her in the Li family, but her identity was no longer the daughter-in-law of the Li family but the maid of the Li family.

History is really a mess.

"You really want to quit your face?" Lao Cheng couldn't help asking next to him.

Li Chao nodded with a smile. Li Shimin's title of king this time was to put him on the fire and roast him.

If you are the king, you should be the king. The eight kings specially named him as king. However, Li Shimin changed his concubines who had already been named princes to princes. Even the kings of the royal family were thrown away this time, and the only county dukes were left.

No comparison will hurt.

With this comparison, everyone in the world thinks that Li Chao is a bit too special.

The only two princes in the Tang Dynasty, and he is the only prince of the different surname.

Although Li Chao knew very well what the essence of this title was, it was simply a false title, but the people in the world would not see this way. They would only see the emperor as a title of Li Chao as a title of prince. The only prince of the Tang Dynasty and one of the only two princes in the world.

How much the emperor trusted Li Chao and how good it was.

Li Shimin clearly stated that he wanted to hang Li Chao up and bake it in this way.

Kaifu Yitong Sansi, Shangzhuguo, Taifu, and ranks are all top-notch, not to mention the title of King Yue.

Now even if Li Chao is thick-skinned, he is embarrassed to be the Minister of Shangshu again, and he will be the minister in the center.

Fortunately, Li Chao himself doesn't care much about this position. Anyway, for Li Chao, the prime ministers at the center of the court now support the new policies and laws. With the stable implementation of the new policies and laws, Li Chao can continue to develop his family with peace of mind, expand his business, and manage his own territory.

Being a prime minister at most means being a manager for Li Shimin and being an executive. But running his own family and territory means starting a business by himself. At least, he is also a branch with his own stock price.

The emperor still had great restrictions on territory and fence, but Li Chao believed that none of these would be unchanged.

The sky is so gloomy.

The north wind whistles.
