May 18th of the second year of Yining followed. Today, the Prime Minister is getting married today. The groom is one of the most powerful people today. The dignified Linfen County Duke, Zuo Yiwei General Lu Zhaoci, is the seventh

A branch of the Fanyang Lu family in the great family, no matter which identity he had, it was enough to cause a sensation.

Ten days ago, I went to the Lu Mansion to give gifts. I don’t know how many people there were. The entire Zhuque Street was full of cars and people, and the street was full of vermilion. Cui Hongdao, the eldest son of the Cui family, also came in person, and Zheng Shanguo, a younger brother of the Zheng family in Xingyang, also came.

After arriving, Fan Yang Lu's family, Lu Kuan and others also came to see the gift. It can be said that there are many aristocratic families in Daxing City today. Today, several major aristocratic families have come one after another. On the one hand, it is of course to give face to Lu Zhaoci, the eldest son of the collateral line of the Lu family.

, but the more important thing is to give Li Yuan face. For this emerging force, these established families no longer dare to underestimate him, because he has already established a foothold in Guanzhong.

"King Tang, the Prime Minister has arrived." The one who acted as the gatekeeper was Fang Xuanling, whose righteousness filled the sky.

In the hall, everyone was waiting respectfully, not daring to show any slights. After all, this was a man who was about to proclaim himself emperor. Recently, a large group of Li Yuan's subordinates had written letters asking Li Yuan to proclaim himself emperor, but Li Yuan refused.

Li Yuan stayed behind closed doors all day long, and Li Jiancheng and Pei Ji took care of major political affairs. Now that Li Yuan finally came out, is this a signal? Everyone in the hall was secretly suspicious.

"I've met the Prime Minister. Congratulations to the Prime Minister, congratulations to the Prime Minister." Everyone in the hall said with cupped hands.

"Haha, today we only talk about guests and hosts, there is no distinction between superiors and subordinates." Li Yuan's face was full of smiles. Originally, this person looked like grandma, but now he smiled, and he looked even more amiable. If not for his gorgeous clothes

With a touch of majesty, he is clearly a father, no matter who is the king of Tang or the prime minister.

"In-laws." Li Yuan saw Lu Changqing standing among the crowd and walked up to him affectionately.

"I have met the Prime Minister." A smile appeared on Lu Changqing's face. Being able to marry Li Yuan is a great opportunity for the Lu family, and they will have a foothold in the historical political power in the future.

"Cui Hongdao has met the Prime Minister, His Highness the King of Tang." He squeezed out a middle-aged Confucian scholar at the same time. This man's face is thin, his eyes are as deep as water, and there is a faint light of wisdom. He is obviously not a simple person. No wonder he can do this

To the position of heir to the family.

"Mr. Cui came all the way, thank you for your hard work, thank you for your hard work." Li Yuan's eyes lit up. This was one of the reasons why he was willing to marry his daughter to Lu Zhaoci as his equal wife, so that he could contact the Guandong family.

"Where is Zhaoci?" Li Yuan suddenly asked.

Lu Changqing and Cui Hongdao were stunned when they heard this. According to the etiquette system, the newlyweds did not come out to meet guests just now. The Lu family and the Cui family are both famous families with thousands of years of reputation, and they pay even more attention to etiquette. This

At that time, Li Yuan suddenly asked where Lu Zhaoci was. Isn't this surprising? Even if the Li family has Xianbei blood, but now that Li Yuan is about to be crowned emperor, he has to respect etiquette!

"In the backyard." Cui Hongdao suddenly changed his expression and quickly pushed Lu Changqing aside.

"Yes, yes, Prime Minister, please come in." Lu Changqing also responded at this time. Li Yuan came in person. I'm afraid it was not as simple as witnessing the marriage. The most likely reason was that he came for Lu Zhaoci. He quickly invited Li Yuan in.

In the back hall, everyone started talking about it, but they didn't dare to ask loudly, so they could only discuss it with each other.

In the backyard, Lu Zhaoci was dressed in wedding clothes and had a solemn face, but there was no trace of joy at all, as if he was not getting married at all. Although he accepted this fact, it did not hinder his mood.

"Zhao Ci." Li Yuan waved his hand, and both Lu Changqing and Cui Hongdao retreated. Only Lu Zhaoci and Li Yuan were left in the courtyard.

"Wei Chen has met His Royal Highness the Prince of Tang." Lu Zhaoci's expression changed, he turned his head and bowed in greeting.

"After today, you will call me Father." Li Yuan sighed and said, "You won't blame Father!"

"I don't dare." Lu Zhaoci's expression changed.

"You are a good minister and a rare young hero. You are more than worthy of Xiuning, but I cannot marry her to you." Li Yuan showed a look of exhaustion on his face and said, "This is not just because you killed Chai Shao.

, and more importantly, the opposition of various families in Guanlong."

"You know everything." Lu Zhaoci asked in surprise.

"Hey, if Gu doesn't know, how can he be the leader of the Li family?" Li Yuan showed a smile on his face, pointed at Lu Zhaoci and said with a smile: "When I heard the news of Chai Shao's death, I doubted you.

Gu wanted to kill you at first, but then I thought about it. Chai Shao is not a good match for Xiu Ning, but you are a good match. Gu can't bear to kill you. I originally planned to betroth Xiu Ning to you after Guanzhong is pacified.

But later you also found out. Xiuning and you have an army of 100,000 in their hands. After pacifying Guanzhong, Xiuning still has 30,000 troops in his hands. Their strength has greatly increased. Pei Ji and others will not let the Guandong family represented by the Lu family be in power.

Only when you occupy a favorable position in the hall can you spread rumors in the capital. Although Gu is very angry, there is nothing he can do. He can only separate the two of you."

"It's my fault." Lu Zhaoci sighed deeply.

"It's not that you're bad, you did the right thing. Hehe, if a tree is as beautiful as a tree, the wind will drive it away. If you were a mediocre talent, Pei Ji and the others wouldn't be afraid of you." Li Yuan laughed and said, "Don't worry.

, when the world is peaceful, I will make the decision for you. You are now General Zuo Yiwei, and you will lead troops in the future. When will you bring peace to the world for Gu, I will marry Xiuning to you."

"Thank you, Prime Minister." Although Lu Zhaoci's face was full of smiles, there was no excitement in his heart. Maybe what Li Yuan just said was true, but he would not marry his daughter to Lu Zhaoci.

He will be the emperor in a few days. The emperor will not allow his daughter to marry someone else as an equal wife, let alone two daughters. Just like in history, Li Yuan told Li Shimin more than once that after a certain situation was settled,

After one party separates power, he will be crowned the prince. The reason why Li Shimin finally launched the Xuanwumen Revolution and forced Li Yuan to abdicate the throne has a lot to do with Li Yuan's repeated regrets.

"Just call me King Father!" Li Yuan nodded happily and said, "These days, Pei Ji and others have been urging me to proclaim myself emperor. What do you think?"

"This is a gift from heaven. If you don't take it, you will suffer the consequences." Lu Zhaoci returned without thinking: "If you please the emperor, it will be auspicious for you to become emperor."

"Who can be the prince?" Li Yuan suddenly asked again. Lu Zhaoci's expression changed, but he did not speak.
