Chapter 1302 Marriage
Li Chengliang shook his head and said, "I'm afraid my father will not agree."
Shu Chang said, "Which according to the eldest son's meaning?"
Li Chengliang pondered for a moment, then said, "The second brother is already married. Although the third brother is not married, he is already engaged. He used this as an excuse to refuse. Even if he is the emperor, there is probably nothing to say."
Shu Chang looked at Li Chengliang and said indifferently: "I think this matter...... let the Grandmaster make a decision. After all, there are some things, you don't have to say much, the eldest son."
Li Chengliang thought for a while, nodded and said, "What you said is also reasonable."
The orders of parents and the words of matchmakers are the matter between elders. As a junior, I really don’t have much say. Even if I refuse, it’s Li Conggu who has the final say. I am indeed a little unqualified.
The two chatted briefly for a few words, and Li Chengliang said goodbye and left.
Looking at Li Chengliang's back as he left, Shu Chang shook his head. This young man was too selfish and thought too much.
Zhao Xun revealed this meaning, just an expression of will. He hopes that through Li Chengliang, this will be transmitted to Li Conggu. Whether it is agreeing or refusing, it is all Li Conggu's business. You, a son, can you be this family in this matter?
Li Conggu, in order to reduce the number of troops, as well as the prefectures and counties on the border between Hebei and Hedong and Henan, the transfer of troops to the first-level officials of Hebei local governors, still belonged to the court, and paid millions of tributes to each year, and other a series of conditions, such as the greatest concessions, giving Zhao Xun enough face.
And unconditionally released Yan Yi and nearly 10,000 captured soldiers.
Li Conggu hoped to achieve peace with the court through some concessions.
Since Zhao Xun chose to compromise, what he had to do next is to further consolidate the balance and peaceful relationship between the two sides.
For this purpose, Zhao Xun used Princess Miaozhen to make a connection and seek a marriage with Li Conggu, which is a very useful means.
Zhao Xun has released a friendly attitude. This situation can be said to be exactly what Li Conggu wants. Therefore, Shu Chang can conclude that Li Conggu will never refuse Zhao Xun's marriage request.
The unification of Hebei is just a superficial phenomenon in the military. Politically speaking, most people do not want to be with the court. Even Li Conggu himself, his greatest ambition and aspiration was to occupy the entire Hebei and dominate the country.
Therefore, as long as the court does not undergo any huge changes, this relative balance and peace will be maintained between Hebei and the court for a long time in the future.
Princess Miaozhen is the bridge of stability in the relationship between the two sides.
Therefore, if anyone marrys Princess Miaozhen, then the status and right to speak of this person will undoubtedly be very important.
When Zhao Xun made this suggestion, Li Chengliang's first reaction was to refuse, because he could not marry this Princess Miaozhen.
Li Chengliang's father-in-law is Chen Jinghui.
Chen Jinghui and Li Conggu grew up together since childhood, and when they grew up, they became sworn brothers of the opposite sex. The two had a very deep relationship. Li Conggu was able to become the governor of Weizhou. Chen Jinghui was outstanding in his contributions. Therefore, Chen Jinghui's prestige and qualifications in the military system of Weizhou were second only to Li Conggu.
It is precisely because of the strong support of his father-in-law Chen Jinghui that Li Chengliang was able to firmly take up the position of this heir. Through his father-in-law Chen Jinghui's connections, he squeezed out his third brother Li Congshan in this competition, took charge of the entire Youzhou area, and further strengthened his own strength.
Therefore, it was impossible for Li Chengliang to divorce his wife and marry Princess Miaozhen.
Li Chengliang couldn't do it, but his second brother Li Chengdiao and his third brother Li Chengshan could do it.
Zhao Xun said that Li Cong had three good sons, not a praising word, but a truth.
Li Conggu’s three sons are indeed extremely outstanding.
This is a good thing, but it is also a bad thing and a troublesome thing.
All three sons are excellent, but there is only one position in the position of the governor. Li Conggu has always had a headache and it is difficult to make a decision.
As for the inheritance of the eldest son, it is only relative. The system is like this, but how many people can implement it to the end?
Especially for local vassal states, the choice of heirs must be the best among the sons. If you are mediocre, even if you are the eldest son, you have to stand aside. After all, it depends on your strength in the end.
The three brothers seem to have a deep relationship and are harmonious and friendly on the surface, but in fact, Li Chengliang is extremely cautious about his two younger brothers!
On this day, Gou Changqing was drinking tea leisurely in Dali Temple, holding a book in his hand, and seemed to be reading a book, but his mind had already run far away.
Two days ago, Ge Qingpo sent someone to give Gou Changqing a large sum of money and said some obscure words. Although he didn't say it directly, Gou Changqing still heard the meaning. Ge Qingpo was spending money to buy their lives.
Gou Changqing actually didn't want to offend Li Xun, but... 100,000 taels of silver is indeed enough to make people lose their minds.
Gou Changqing has been thinking about this issue these two days. Until today, he finally made a decision. The temptation of humans and birds killing for food is too great. Moreover,... Li Xun is no longer a prime minister and is highly suspicious of the emperor. He may not have a chance to make a comeback in his life.
Therefore, what can I do if I offend Li Xun?
Moreover, through this matter, you can also reach the Ge family. For you, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.
Just as Gou Changqing was out of the way, a noisy sound suddenly came from outside the door.
Gou Changqing put down the book in his hand and said to a document below who was doing things: "What's the matter? It's so noisy."
Wenshu saw the displeasure on Gou Changqing's face, so he quickly stood up: "Sir, go out and have a look."
After saying that, the clerk walked out quickly.
After a while, the clerk hurriedly ran in: "Sir, the Sili Captain Wang Qili has come. People outside dare not stop him."
Gou Changqing was slightly stunned, then stood up quickly and prepared to go out to take a look. At this time, Wang Qili had already led more than ten soldiers in.
"Mr. Wang came to my Dali Temple and didn't inform me. I'll go out to greet you!"
Gou Changqing hurriedly stepped forward to see him, smiling, and turned a blind eye to Wang Qili's rude behavior of entering Dali Temple directly, and was very polite.
