The way of using people to attract people's hearts is to give kindness to danger and promote it to the grass and wilderness. Li Ke used Xue Rengui, which was when Xue Rengui was mediocre and frustrated and encountered a wall everywhere, and he was the most popular. This is true for Henggong to use Guan Zhong and Wei Wu to serve Guo Jia.

Xue Rengui said that he wanted to be the sword in Li Ke's palm, to overcome all obstacles for Li Ke and to calm the country, to repay Li Ke's kindness for his favor. However, now Xue Rengui's invincible sword has not yet reached the point where he has penetrated his edge and is still in the sheath.

August 15th, Mid-Autumn Festival, early morning.

The morning dew is still heavy, the climate is getting colder, and Li Ke, who is diligent in practicing martial arts, dares not lightly decorate for a day, has already practiced guns in the Grand Governor's Office.

If you only talk about martial arts, Li Ke is among the top among the generals of the Tang Dynasty. Although he is brave, he is not the top. However, there are many powerful generals among the top five who are trained with Li Ke. From the earliest Qin Shubao, to the later Xi Junmai, to the current Xue Rengui, all of them are taking the enemy's head, like the extraordinary general who can easily take advantage of things.

"Your Highness, there is something to invite you to do." Xue Rengui accompanied Li Ke to practice martial arts. After a while of rest, Xue Rengui suddenly spoke to Li Ke.

Since Xue Rengui entered the palace, he has been diligent in his work, and has been well-organized in various places in the palace, and has been taciturn and has been trustworthy and trustworthy. In Li Ke's impression, this is the first time Xue Rengui takes the initiative to ask Li Ke for his work.

Li Ke said: "Rengui has something to do, but he says it is."

Xue Rengui said: "I want to take a leave of absence from Your Highness for half a day and leave the house to deal with some private matters."

Officials of the Tang Dynasty had a ten-day leave every ten days, so they didn't have to take up their posts and deal with private affairs. However, on the one hand, Xue Rengui was just a first time, and on the other hand, the position of commander of the King of Chu was unusual. Li Ke was unable to leave for a day, so Xue Rengui didn't dare to take leave easily. This was the first time today.

Li Ke looked at Xue Rengui's solemn look and smiled, "What should I do? I just take half a day off. In the future, as long as I don't go far, if you have something to do, just go by yourself. Just tell me the Weishou under your command."

Li Ke is good at it, and there are not many people in the world who can hurt Li Ke. In addition, the Grand Governor's Office is very cautious, and whether Xue Ren is in noble or not, Li Ke is safe, so Li Ke has this statement.

When Xue Rengui heard Li Ke's words, he hurriedly said, "Your Highness is kind to his subordinates, and he is kind to you. How dare the last general overcome the rules?"

Although Xue Rengui is young, he has always been in a stable manner. Li Ke looked at Xue Rengui's appearance and smiled and said, "Today's Mid-Autumn Festival is the day for the family to reunite. Rengui is taking leave, but is there a relative in Taiyuan?"

In Li Ke's view, Xue Rengui comes from the Xue family, and Xue family is also a large Hedong clan. It is reasonable that Xue Rengui has a clan in Hedong himself.

However, Xue Rengui shook his head and said, "Since Mo's father died early and his family has fallen into trouble, he has gradually broken off contact with all relatives of all parties over the years. In Taiyuan, there are no relatives and relatives worth visiting to the mansion in Taiyuan."

Li Ke asked in confusion: "Why is Na Rengui? Why did he choose today?"

Xue Rengui replied: "To be honest with Your Highness, I will go here to visit my father's old friend Liu Jie during his lifetime. Uncle Liu and his father had a marriage agreement. Today is also the time. I will go to see you according to the rituals."

Li Ke smiled and said, "So that's the case. This is a good thing. I want to congratulate Rengui. Rengui is already in his prime and should have been the time to marry. Since it is to make the marriage agreement, it is better to be completed as soon as possible."

Li Ke's words came to Xue Rengui's ears, but Xue Rengui's face showed a hint of bitterness, and there was no sign of happiness at all.

Xue Rengui sighed and said, "The Liu family's little lady is the father's point of view. The marriage between the two families is also the father's last wish. The last general also wants to make it work hard, but I am afraid that the Uncle Liu of the last general may not look at the last general on earth."

Li Ke suddenly remembered Xue Rengui's words and asked, "You came to Taiyuan to do business before, is this the matter?"

Xue Rengui turned red and lowered his head and said, "What Your Highness said is that he will be young this year. This is the time to come to Taiyuan to marry the little lady of the Liu family as his wife according to the agreement between his father and Uncle Liu during his lifetime. He never thought that he would hit a wall."

Li Ke asked, "But the Liu family broke their promise and didn't want to marry?"

Xue Rengui replied: "Minister General is already in his prime, but he is still mediocre and inaction. Uncle Liu's family is also a branch of the Liu family in Hedong. There are some family businesses, so they are inevitably looking down on the last general, so they have not been able to achieve good things."

"So that's it." Li Ke nodded.

Although the Liu family is only a branch of the Liu family in Hedong and is not among the aristocratic families, it is inevitable that it is a bit arrogant because it has a family business and has some relationships between the top and bottom.

Xue Rengui's father Xue Gui passed away for many years, and the relationship between the two families has long faded. Moreover, although Xue Rengui is handsome, Qianlong is trapped in the beach. Not only has he completely broken off relations with the Xue family in Hedong, but he has only worked hard to make a living in farming these years. It is very different from the wealthy family of the Liu family. Liu Jie is fond of profit, so he naturally looks down on Xue Rengui.

Li Ke waved his hand and said to Xue Rengui with a little anger: "The Liu family does not know the talents, but they deceive the poor young man. Rengui was only temporarily in trouble before, so why would he worry about not having a wife? Rengui will wait for three years first. When you follow my king to make contributions in the northern expedition and become a marquis and prime minister, I ask my mother to come forward in person to be a matchmaker for you. Wouldn't it be a pleasure for you to marry Liu Jiali's legitimate daughter as your wife!"

The Liu Jiali mentioned by Li Ke is Liu Heng, the youngest young master of Guanglu (the name is Jiali). Liu Heng comes from Jie County, Hedong and is a descendant of the Liu clan in Hedong. Naturally, it is not comparable to that of Liu Jie like the other branches.

Xue Rengui was originally a child of the Xue family. After he made achievements in the future, he was appointed as a marquis and general. He was originally a famous and well-known daughter of the Liu family and had the face of Li Ke. It was not difficult for Xue Rengui to marry Liu Heng's legitimate daughter.

Li Ke's words were also kind, but Xue Rengui hurriedly said, "Marrying with Uncle Liu and marrying the Liu family's little lady is the last wish of his father. The last general must respond to his father's death instructions to facilitate this matter. Moreover, the Liu family's little lady met the last general since childhood, and had a deep affection for the last general. How could the last general be disappointed? Your Highness can only accept the most beautiful intentions, and I hope your highness will not blame you."

Xue Rengui's marriage to the Liu family's little girl was indeed Xue Gui's dying instructions. Xue Rengui was a filial son, so he naturally had to keep Xue Gui's last words hard. Moreover, Liu family's little girl and Xue Rengui were childhood sweethearts, and Xue Rengui was not willing to let them down.

Xue Ren is proud of his love and promise, which is what Li Ke is willing to see. It is precisely such a person that Li Ke dares to be at ease, so why not talk about being strange?

Li Ke said: "Before, Liu Jie wanted to destroy the engagement, but it was just that you were a vain and had no property. Now you are in the marriage office and have an official position, and you are no longer a vain. As for the property, it is easier to do. Take my king's order to go to the Grand Governor's Office to withdraw 5,000 guan of money, and buy some houses, shops, land and other industries in Jinyang City. The rest is prepared for a generous visit, and good things can be accomplished."

Five thousand guan is definitely not a small amount, even for wealthy families, it is a huge fortune. Five thousand guan is enough for Xue Rengui to buy a generous mansion in Jinyang City, five or six shops facing the street, hundreds of acres of fertile land, and a large number of servants. With this wealthy family business, and with Xue Rengui's current official status, Liu Jie has no reason to refuse.

Xue Rengui was shocked when he heard Li Ke's words. He never expected that Li Ke would say a total of 5,000 guan. If the seventh-rank military minister of the Tang Dynasty did not receive empty salary, the total annual salary, salary materials, jobs and land would be only more than 70 guan. Five thousand guan was Xue Rengui's annual salary for 70 years. It was strange that he was not surprised.

Xue Rengui hurriedly said, "No, 5,000 guan is too much, so I will not dare to collect it."

Seeing this, Li Ke explained: "Rengui doesn't have to be polite to me, but it's just 5,000 guan. The bento is the gift of my king to give you the wedding."

Upon hearing this, Xue Rengui insisted: "No, Your Highness has had great kindness for the last general. How dare you ask Your Highness to be so proud of the wedding in the future?"

Li Ke saw Xue Rengui insisting, but he was not inconvenient to force it. He thought for a while and said, "Why not do this? I will borrow five thousand guan of money from you. When you kill the enemy in the future and get the reward from the court, I will deduct it from your reward. How about it?"

"This..." Xue Rengui didn't expect Li Ke to say this, and hesitated for a while.

Li Ke also saw the hesitation on Xue Rengui's face, so he said, "What, is it that Rengui has no confidence to make achievements in the future when he followed me to the Northern Expedition, or is he unwilling to serve me?"
