Chapter 52: gift!
Li Chengqian frowned, and said: "This Duke of E is the founder of the country and won the trust of his father. Yuchi Baolin is also attached to the East Palace. Chengqian thinks that recommending Yuchi Baolin is a clever plan to kill two birds with one stone. It can not only strengthen the power of the East Palace, but also suppress Li Chengqian. serene."
"You, you only saw the fur. Do you know why Yi Guogong Qin Shubao handed over his military power after the emperor ascended the throne, and since then closed the door to thank guests and not ask about government affairs?"
"Isn't it because Duke Yi is in poor health?"
Changsun Wuji sneered and said: "You believe it too! That Lord Yi is a military general, isn't he not as healthy as me? He is a smart man. Since ancient times, several generals who have made great achievements have ended well. He will retire later. In order to advance, as for Wei Chigong, relying on his own military achievements, he was defiant. At the last banquet, because an official was seated in front of him, he beat the minister in front of the emperor, and the emperor walked away angrily. It's obvious that you don't take the emperor seriously."
"I've heard about this, but isn't the empress father also punishing the official and appeasing Wei Chigong? This shows that the empress father still relies on the veterans of the Qin family." Li Chengqian said.
"This is the emperor's brilliance. He is playing hard to get. He prepared the dog's head and waited for Wei Chigong to stick his head in! You go to see the empress right now and say that Yuchi Baolin is not the son-in-law's son-in-law." The right candidate!" Changsun Wuji urged.
Li Chengqian didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile: "Uncle, you think too much. Besides, I have already agreed to Yuchi Baolin. If I backtracked, wouldn't it make me, the prince, majestic?" The stunned eldest grandson Wuji.
"You!" Changsun Wuji looked at Li Chengqian's back with a livid face, and walked away with his hands behind his back...
The operation of the newspaper was on the right track. Li Yin took the list given to him by Li Shimin and delivered the watches to his door one by one. It took him ten days to deliver all the deliveries. It wasn't that Li Yin's work efficiency was too poor. It was because these officials were too enthusiastic and insisted on dragging him to eat and drink, especially in Cheng Huailiang's house, Cheng Huailiang, who was over half a hundred years old. Yao Jin held Li Yin but did not let go.
"Your Highness, the emperor said that this watch is worth a thousand guan, and it really cost His Highness!" Now that the Cheng family is one of the shareholders of Xinghua Wine, Cheng Yaojin has let go of his belly, and he no longer has to worry about running out of wine, a few bowls of wine His tongue started to curl.
Li Yin finally understood why Cheng Huailiang's wine quality was so poor. It turned out to be inherited from his father, "I'm just doing some insignificant things for the country and society of the Tang Dynasty!", Li Yin began to say clichés.
"Your Highness is humble. Now that you are in court, no one knows that Your Highness is deeply appreciated by the emperor. Which one is not a major event for the country and the people!" Putting the wine glass on, Cheng Yaojin suddenly stood up and walked in front of Li Yin. , "Your Highness, the old minister has no way to teach his son. These **** are more worthless than the other, especially Huai Liang, who spends his days doing nothing but wants to be favored by Princess Qinghe. He really wants to eat swan meat!"
"Father, you drank too much!" Cheng Huailiang said, shrinking his neck.
"Fart, I'm awake!" Cheng Yaojin scolded Cheng Huailiang, and he immediately turned into a turtle again. Seeing this, Cheng Yaojin became even more angry, "Your Highness, look, look at him. He looks promising, if one day the old minister dies in battle, what will this kid do?"
Li Yin can see that this Cheng Yaojin is going around the corner to make Cheng Huailiang and Princess Qinghe come together. He said: "General Cheng is his own person, and I will not hide some things from you. Originally, Huailiang and Qinghe The matter is a certainty!"
Having said this, Cheng Huailiang and his son immediately became nervous, "Is something wrong?"
"Hey! A few days ago, I went to my mother's concubine to find out for Huailiang. Who would have thought that Wei Chigong's son, Yuchi Baolin, had long admired Princess Qinghe, and said that he begged the prince to tell the queen about this matter. Woolen cloth!"
"What! That **** Yuchi Baolin!" Cheng Huailiang stood up and cursed: "That **** is also worthy of Princess Qinghe, I'm going to fight him!"
"Sit down!" Cheng Yaojin scolded, he has been in the officialdom for decades, and he is very slippery, so he understands that Li Yin also does not want Princess Qinghe to marry Yuchi Baolin, "Your Highness, Huailiang The child is not promising, but he has a good heart. If he marries Her Royal Highness, he will definitely be obedient to her. If Her Highness is not at ease, and there are veterans around, if this kid dares to make the princess feel wronged, I will not break his leg. Besides, Yuchi Baolin, who doesn't know his virtues, can you rest assured that His Highness entrusts his sister to him?"
"Of course I understand, but if the queen insists on doing this, I have nothing to do!" Li Yin took a sip of his wine depressedly, and glanced at the expressions of the father and son from the corner of his eye. Cheng Huailiang was anxious like a monkey, fidgeting, It seems that his words of admiration for Qinghe for a long time are not false. Cheng Yaojin seemed to be thinking deeply, and finally said as if he had made up his mind: "Your Highness, Princess Qinghe can be regarded as your half sister. If Huailiang and Qinghe Once we become a couple, you will be Huai Liang's uncle, and we will be a family from now on!"
The meaning of Cheng Yaojin's words was already very explicit, Li Min laughed and said: "This matter has not yet been settled, Huailiang is my brother, I must help my brother!" To find a reliable husband for my sister, and It's the best of both worlds to get the support of the Cheng family, so why not do it.
Coming out of Cheng Huailiang's house, Li Yin was worried while holding the last watch. The last person on the list was Cui Shao, the future father-in-law.
Riding a horse to Cui's mansion, Li Min explained his purpose, and soon, Cui Shao walked out from the house, "His Royal Highness is coming to the humble house, please forgive me for not being far away to welcome you!"
"Master Cui, you don't need to be formal, I'm here to give you this watch!" Then he handed the mechanical watch to Cui Shao.
Now almost everyone in the court wears a watch. After getting this new gadget, many ministers gathered together to discuss this. Those who have watches are complacent, while those who don’t have jealous eyes. The same is true for Cui Shao. But this watch is a gift from the Sixth Prince, and it is the Sixth Prince’s freedom to give it to anyone or not, but he is also the sixth prince’s father-in-law, so it would be unreasonable not to have it, so he was so annoyed that he was sick for a few days and couldn’t go to court. The sixth prince sent the watch over, and he was overjoyed.
Put the watch away, Cui Shao said: "Your Highness, go to the mansion to drink some tea before leaving!"
"No need for Master Cui, I have other things to deal with!" Thinking of that dominatrix, Li Yin shuddered all over.
Li Yin politely refused, Cui Shao couldn't say anything, and said: "The old minister respectfully sends His Royal Highness!"
