During the meal, everyone was chatting lively, mainly Li Xun, talking about the customs and customs in Longyou. Others were fine, but You Yuanfeng listened with gusto, and had a great time chatting with Li Xun, for no other reason.

, He Zong before Wuzong, You Yuanfeng served in Longyou for many years, which is also where he started.

After finishing the meal, Li Xun did not stay long and said goodbye.

In the room, You Yuanfeng was sitting upright, drinking tea, the wind was light and the clouds were calm, and he was very leisurely.

You Mingyuan, Liu Chongji, and Liu Zhigu are sitting below.

"Old man, you think very highly of Li Xun."

Liu Zhigu was the first to break the silence.

You Yuanfeng smiled and said softly: "I can't even talk about valuing him, but the temper of this boy Li Xun makes me like him very much."

"Old man, I never understood why you didn't give much thought to the marriage between Li Xun and You Min. You just nodded and agreed. Wouldn't it be better for our You family to watch the battle for the crown prince?"

Whether you like a big family or not is secondary. What matters is interests. The marriage between Li Xun and You Min seems to be Zhao Zhi finding You Mingyuan, and then it goes smoothly. In fact, how can the marriage of a big family be anything like it?

Daughter-in-law? You Mingyuan once sent a letter to You Yuanfeng to ask for his opinion on this matter. The latter agreed. Only then did the marriage between Li Xun and You Min be settled. According to You Mingyuan's original intention, the You family stayed out of the matter.

No matter who becomes the prince, how much does it have to do with me?

You Yuanfeng said quietly: "The marriage between the You family and the An family has been endless. The An family is now fully supporting King Yi. If King Yi wins, we can also follow suit. If he loses, the An family will suffer. Our You family

Is it possible to escape?"

Liu Chongji continued: "What the old man means is that we choose a prince other than King Yi to support us. If King Yi loses, we can escape the attack. If King Yi wins, the relationship between the You family and the An family can also preserve the family.

"

You Yuanfeng smiled: "There are two sides to the matter, why do you have to hang yourself from a tree?"

Liu Zhigu said softly: "It seems that the old man is quite confident in King Qi."

You Mingyuan said: "King Yi has Hedong as his foundation. Even if he fails to fight for the throne, he still has a way out."

You Mingyuan's meaning is very clear. King Yi has advanced and retreated, and fully supporting King Qi against King Yi is not worth the deal.

You Yuanfeng was silent in thought, and everyone looked at him. Although Liu Zhigu was already the Prime Minister, You Yuanfeng's official experience was so rich, his opinions would definitely be useful.

You Yuanfeng took a sip of tea, nodded, and said quietly: "The overall situation of the world has become chaotic. Now, with the withdrawal of Liu Jie, the reason why the court can still maintain balance and stability is because of Yang Daosi

He is still there, but he is only a few years younger than me. How long can he remain in power? Once Yang Daosi leaves, how long can Li Zhong, a mere Li Zhong, rely on the support of the army without the support of civil affairs? "

Listening to You Yuanfeng's words, everyone fell into deep thought.

After a while, You Mingyuan looked at You Yuanfeng and said softly: "It seems that the old man is still optimistic about King Qi."

Liu Zhigu and Liu Chongji both nodded and agreed with You Mingyuan.

You Yuanfeng put down his tea cup and sighed: "You still don't understand what I mean."

Liu Zhigu asked: "What does the old man mean by this?"

You Yuanfeng said quietly: "What does the continuation of the family rely on? It is about advancing and retreating. It is like betting on big or small, either life or death. This is too dangerous. The situation in Longyou will be worse.

The development will not be bad. If Li Xun is given a few years, he will be able to establish his own foundation in Longyou. In this way, we will also have something to rely on. Finally, Li Xun or King Qi failed, and King Yi came to the throne.

, with Anjia as an intermediary, we will not be in danger."

Liu Chongji asked: "What about King Chu?"

You Yuanfeng sneered and said: "If the King of Chu really comes to power, the power of the Yang family will be at its peak. Either the King of Chu will be a puppet and the Jin Dynasty will survive, or the Yang family will usurp the throne. The Yang family has continued for more than six hundred years."

, if the situation is too strong, it will be harmed. Judging from the situation in recent years, Yang Daosi intends to seek stability. It is obvious that the Yang family has no further plans. Zhao Zhi is not a fatuous master. How can we not see this?

In this case, the King of Chu seems to be the most powerful, but there is no possibility of succeeding to the throne."

After hearing You Yuanfeng's words, everyone was shocked. What are the nine pillar clans left at the beginning of the Jin Dynasty? Only the Yang family is left, and the other eight pillar clans are all

When the power reaches its peak, they are eradicated one by one. When the water is full, it will overflow. Yang Daosi will not fail to understand this truth.

Everyone was silent. You Yuanfeng's meaning was clear. He would fully support King Qi and preserve Li Xun's military power in Wuzhou. Even if the world was in chaos in the future, as long as Li Xun's military power was in hand, the You family and the Liu family would still have a way out.

, at least able to protect themselves.

In the eighth year of Taiping, on December 15th, You Yuanfeng's eightieth birthday was celebrated with great excitement. I don't know if it was because of Li Xun's advice, but You Yuanfeng was not in a hurry to leave after his birthday.

On December 25th, Li Xun and You Min's wedding arrived as scheduled.

Liuli, ancient marriage etiquette. It refers to the six etiquettes in the process from marriage proposal to consummation.

Nacai means asking for a name, Naji means nazheng, asking for a date, and welcoming in person. Nacai means that the man's family invites a matchmaker to go to the woman's family to propose marriage. After the woman's family agrees to discuss the marriage, the man's family prepares six rites before going to propose.

Name questioning means that the groom's family asks the matchmaker to ask the woman's name and date of birth.

Naji, that is, the man will perform divination in the ancestral temple after taking back the woman's name and horoscope.

Nazheng, also known as Naqi, is a betrothal gift given by the man's family to the woman's family.

During the request period, the groom's family chooses a wedding date, prepares a gift and informs the bride's family, and asks for their approval.

In the wedding ceremony, one or two days before the wedding, the woman delivers the dowry and makes the bed, and the next day the groom comes to the woman’s home to marry her in person.

In the marriage between Li Xun and You Min, the You family was very generous. The dowry included three thousand taels of fertile land, 300,000 taels of silver, and 20,000 taels of gold. In total, it was more than a million dollars?

Working until late at night, Li Xun shook his body and walked towards the bridal chamber.

Halfway through, Li Xiao suddenly appeared, put his arm around Li Xun's shoulders, and said with a smile: "Boss Li, stop pretending. I prepared the wine bottle for the evening in advance. No matter how much you drink, you won't get drunk."

.”

"I mean, this wine has no taste at all."

Li Xun glanced at Li Xiao, his face still half drunk.

Li Xiao laughed loudly: "It's just plain water, what kind of taste can it have?"

Hearing this, Li Xun couldn't help laughing.

When he arrived at the door of the bridal chamber, Li Xiao patted Li Xun on the shoulder and said with a smile: "One moment is worth a thousand pieces of gold, so I won't bother you."
