Chapter 661 Please be a witness
Li Ke really felt that Zhao Chen was very magical.
I had just entered the Lizheng Hall and had not yet greeted the emperor, but the emperor held him down and cleaned up.
Fortunately, it is not heavy, which is just a ventilating attitude.
But if I didn't protect my face in advance, it would definitely add a lot of injuries.
So Li Ke is still very grateful to Zhao Chen.
Little did he know that the emperor attacked him without saying a word because he was so angry that Zhao Chen was half-extremely angry before.
"Where are you going later?" Zhao Chen smiled and did not expose it with Li Ke, otherwise this kid would definitely be entangled with him.
"Sir, where are you going?" Li Ke looked at Zhao Chen.
It’s not interesting to stay in the palace, and he doesn’t know a few people outside.
"Duke of Wei, go together?"
"Forget it, the Duke of Wei will definitely ask you again later. If I see something that shouldn't be seen when I go, you won't be able to kill me in the future!" Li Ke waved his hands repeatedly.
...
In the Duke of Wei’s Mansion, Li Jing sat in the study, and the middle volume of the art of war had been completed.
I'm in a good mood.
"Father, Zhao Chen said he would come to the banquet tonight. Do you want to clean up?" Li Ruoshuang cleaned up the table for Li Jing and said casually.
"It's not the first time I've seen you. Could it be that if I don't deal with me, that kid won't know me?" Li Jing waved his hand and stroked his messy beard.
He hasn't cleaned up himself for a lot of time.
People seem to be getting more and more vicissitudes.
Fortunately, I am full of energy and not worrying.
"Girl, did your mother tell you about the Japanese envoy?" Li Jing looked at Li Ruoshuang, was silent for a moment before speaking.
Li Ruoshuang nodded.
After returning to the Duke's Mansion this morning, Hong Fu Nu told her that the Japanese envoy wanted to marry the Japanese princess to Zhao Chen in the Tai Chi Hall.
Li Ruoshuang felt a little uncomfortable.
But she believed that Zhao Chen would never agree.
However, if the emperor wanted to establish good relations with Japan, would he force Zhao Chen to agree?
Li Ruoshuang was actually a little worried.
"Zhao Chen's influence is getting bigger and bigger. Although this is a good thing, it has hidden dangers for you now."
"As a minister, you have to decide many things yourself."
"Tonight, I will prepare for your father to determine the wedding dates for you and Zhao Chen, and everything will be simple and quick."
"What do you think?" Li Jing hesitated.
This matter shouldn't have been said by him.
Moreover, it was not him who went to talk to Zhao Chen.
But the emperor and the empress do not speak morally, and the wedding date that had been agreed upon before was pushed forward again and again.
His daughter Li Ruoshuang is now hanging.
If Zhao Chen hadn't changed his attitude towards Li Ruoshuang, Li Jing would have thought that he would refuse this marriage.
"Marriage matters depend on parents!" Li Ruoshuang nodded, with a little shy expression.
...
When Zhao Chen came to the Duke of Wei's Mansion, lanterns had already been lit outside.
The servants called Zhao Chen one by one and invited Zhao Chen into the mansion with great sincerity.
Zhao Chen originally thought it was just an ordinary small banquet.
When he entered the yard, he found that there were many people coming.
Many officials of all sizes and generals above the fifth rank in the army came.
Many of them are acquaintances in the Tai Chi Hall.
"Fang Photo!"
"Old Wei."
"Uncle Cheng, Uncle Qin..."
Zhao Chen went to say hello to everyone one by one.
"Zhao Chen is here, hurry up, greet all the generals." Li Jing, as the master, took Zhao Chen's hand and recommended to him all the generals and Dukes in the army.
"Yongxing Gong Yu Shinan, you have worked together in the imperial examination before..."
"Duke of Qiao State Chai Shao, Princess Pingyang's husband..."
"Zhang Liang, Duke of Yun..."
"Duke Tang Jian of Ju..."
Li Jing introduced to Zhao Chen one by one, all of whom were the heroes of Lingyan Pavilion later.
These are the old people who have opened up the foundation of the Tang Dynasty. They all came here today, which surprised Zhao Chen a little.
"How many months have you seen the Duke of Zhao County? His grace is even more beautiful than before." Yu Shinan smiled and bowed to Zhao Chen.
The old man is very old.
Compared to when I was an imperial examination examiner together, I looked older.
"Mr. Yu's face is a fairy-like figure, and it's no problem to live for a hundred years." Zhao Chen quickly returned to Yu Shinan.
As an old man, he likes to hear others say that he lives long.
Yu Shinan's face was full of smiles and thought to himself that Zhao Chen in front of him was a boy who could figure out people's hearts.
If the same words come from his mouth, it will have a different effect.
No wonder the emperor and the queen would spoil him so much.
"Duke Wei, this kid is pretty good. No wonder you are willing to betroth your daughter to him." Chai Shao looked at Zhao Chen and said to Li Jing.
"Hey, it's clear that Zhao Chen got it with his own strength. If you don't believe it, in a few years, Zhao Chen's achievements will surpass those of us old people." Tang Jian smiled and looked at Li Jing's eyes full of
It's envy.
Who doesn't have a daughter or something?
As soon as the words of Wangyou Bookstore came out, Zhao Chen's literary name spread throughout Chang'an City.
I don’t know how many daughters of officials’ families have become excited.
He Tang Jian saw his daughter holding the books she bought from the bookstore and staring blankly.
From time to time, Zhao Chen's name is written in the study.
Tang Jian was so hiding that he didn't dare to make any noise.
Otherwise, I will definitely be laughed at to death!
But his love for Zhao Chen is true, and his envy for Li Jing is true.
After everyone talked for a while, the banquet was already arranged.
Settle down on the seat.
Li Jing and Hongfu Nu sat on the upper head, while Li Ruoshuang stood aside.
"Today I'm upset to come to the banquet, I'll give you a glass." Li Jing picked up the wine glass and said to everyone.
"Uncle Cheng, what's going on today? Why are so many people coming?" After drinking a glass of wine, Zhao Chen asked Cheng Yaojin in a low voice.
"Before you come back, the Japanese envoy was in the Tai Chi Hall and said he would be betrothed the princess of the Japanese to you..."
"Cough cough cough--" Zhao Chen choked in one mouthful.
"Princess of Japan?" Zhao Chen looked at Cheng Yaojin.
"Yes, Duke Li Wei punched the Japanese envoy and fainted at that time." Cheng Yaojin said with a smile.
Why is Li Jing so excited? Why is this banquet today?
"So?" Zhao Chen still didn't quite understand.
"So today they are here to testify for you. I guess your wedding date with his girl will be set."
"And it's fast and quick, Duke Li Wei will not give you any other chance!" Cheng Yaojin patted Zhao Chen on the shoulder and smiled.
Zhao Chen was a little stunned.
He thought that so many people came today, and Li Jing was preparing to denounce him.
Unexpectedly, I had to finalize my marriage with Li Ruoshuang.
He looked up and saw Li Ruoshuang looking at him.
After looking at each other, Li Ruoshuang's gaze moved away.
It is obvious that she also knows the purpose of today's banquet.
"Everyone, this second thing is to ask you to testify." Li Jing's voice sounded again.
"I decided that the marriage between my daughter and Zhao Chen will be arranged for this year's Mid-Autumn Festival."
