The Poor Son-in-Law of the Tang Dynasty

After listening to the elder grandson Wugou's words, Li Shimin's eyes suddenly brightened: "It's a good idea, but he doesn't need anything now, so what else can I use to win him over? It's reasonable to make him an official and a nobleman? The means of wooing..."

As he spoke, Li Shimin's eyes fell on Chang Le involuntarily, and he seemed to understand what Changsun Wugou was talking about.

"Guanyin maidservant, you mean... you want to marry my Changle to Ye Chen???"

"Exactly."

Changsun Wugou smiled lightly and nodded slightly.

"But, don't you want to marry Changle to Changsun Chong? We and the auxiliary machine are one family. If the two families get married, we will be even more intimate. It will be more beneficial than marrying Changle to Ye Chen!"

Li Shimin was a little confused at this moment, and spoke quickly, forgetting that his daughter was still by his side.

"Father, could it be that a daughter can't escape the fate of a family marriage? Do you want to treat your son and minister as a commodity and make a deal with your uncle's family?"

Chang Le burst into tears and said sadly.

"Lizhi, Father didn't mean that..."

Li Shimin shook his head quickly, looking at his daughter who was crying, feeling unspeakably distressed.

"My son doesn't like Changsun Chong, why does the father insist on marrying his daughter to him?"

Chang Le wiped his tears, and the more he talked, the more sad he became, his pitiful appearance made Li Shimin feel a little ashamed.

To be honest, he really wanted to get closer to Changsun Wuji.

He and Changsun Wuji were friends of ordinary people, and Changsun Wuji was loyal to him and had no two intentions. Naturally, there were political factors in marrying his daughter to him, but more importantly, he wanted the two families to marry each other. Relationships go to the next level.

"Hey! That's all!"

Li Shimin shook his head and comforted him: "Don't be sad, Lizhi, my father won't force your will. If you like Ye Chen, my father may not be able to marry you!"

At this moment, Chang Le finally stopped crying: "What qualifications does my son have to dictate to my father's decision? Just express my own mind, my father's order, naturally my son must not disobey."

The eldest grandson Wugou listened to it, and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.

It was originally her wish to marry Changle to Changsun Chong.

But this child Changle really doesn't like Changsun Chong, even if she is forced to marry her, I'm afraid her life will be unhappy.

In terms of emotion and reason, Changsun Wugou should not favor Changsun Chong.

Seeing that Chang Le was so sensible, Li Shimin comforted her a few more words, and asked the maid to send her back to rest.

He dragged his eldest grandson Wugou to continue discussing this matter in detail.

Finally made up my mind.

Since Changle is interested, and Ye Chen has made such achievements, then marry!

It's just that marrying must have the dignity of the royal family, and Li Shimin will never lose the respect that should be given to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen should also give corresponding feedback.

Giving him the imperial surname and marrying him as a princess is already a great favor, which is enough to offset his military exploits, not to mention that Li Shimin plans to promote him to a noble rank, giving him greater rights and a higher status.

It can be said that Li Shimin's move has reached the extreme.

But what Li Shimin didn't know was that what he did seemed to be good to Ye Chen, but it was completely against his will.

……

After a few days of rest in Qiongzhou, the officials sent by Li Shimin to hand over government affairs also arrived.

The army sent to Tubo to take over the entire territory of Tubo and suppress Tubo will gradually be in place within the next month.

Now that the territory of the Tang Dynasty has expanded a bit, and the entire Tubo has been included in the pocket, the prestige of the Tang Empire has become more and more important, causing the surrounding tribes and countries to worry.

"General Ye, you can just leave it to us. You will definitely get another high seal when you return to the imperial court. I would like to congratulate you in advance!"

There were 14 officials who came to take over Qiongzhou, and the leader was Du Ruhui's son Du Gou.

As Du Ruhui's eldest son, Du Gou inherited his title, and now he is also named the governor of Qiongzhou. His status is on the rise, not inferior to his father, and even has a faint feeling of surpassing his father.

After all, Du Gou is only less than 30 years old now, and his father Du Ruhui was only a reserve official of the Sui Dynasty at this age.

Of course, Du Gou's existence today is basically due to the protection of his family, but if he can maintain his current state, he will be able to surpass Du Ruhui in the future.

It's just that Ye Chen, who knows the history, knows that the premise of all this is that Du He will not commit suicide and rebellion.

In a few years, if Du He rebelled, Du Gou would not escape the fate of being demoted. Let alone surpassing his father, living would be a luxury.

But this has nothing to do with Ye Chen, the emotion is the emotion, everyone has his own life, Du Gou is not in the scope of his wooing, Ye Chen has no obligation to save him.

If Du Gou is willing to stand in the same camp in the future, it will not be too late to talk about saving him then.

After a few polite words with Du Gou, Ye Chen led his army and prepared to return to Jingzhou.

When they came, there were 1 troops in high spirits, but when they returned, there were only more than [-] people left, which was really tragic.

"Don't hang your head down, win a big battle, after returning, everyone will be rewarded!"

Ye Chen walked between the teams, seeing the heavy atmosphere, he smiled and enlivened the atmosphere.

Liu Heizi smiled bitterly at the side: "Reward? Can you get back the lives of Zhang Ma and so many brothers? Marshal, what are we working so hard for?"

"For home!"

Ye Chen raised his eyebrows, and said loudly: "Being loyal to the Holy Majesty, why not protect your own homeland? If Songtsan Gampo forces His Majesty to marry successfully, they will grow stronger with the support of the Tang Dynasty, and then invade us. The victim, Or our generation and our descendants!"

"We are soldiers. This is the destiny of each of us. Fortunately, they died well and heroically. Everyone is a hero! Those who are alive should be grateful and grateful. If the brothers in the underworld see you like this Damn, they can't hold the coffin boards anymore, don't one of them come up and give you a big mouth?"

Hearing Ye Chen's last words, everyone forced a smile.

Seeing everyone laughing, Ye Chen sighed, but couldn't laugh anymore.

It's not that he doesn't understand this truth.

It's just that when faced with such a situation, how many people will not be sad?
He can make everyone happy, but who will make him happy?

Li Yingzi, who was following behind, was still a little weak at this moment, seeing Ye Chen's appearance, she couldn't help feeling a little distressed.

She quickly came to Ye Chen's side, and gently held his hand: "Ye Chen."

Without too many words, just a look, Ye Chen could tell that Li Yingzi loved her dearly.

This time, he didn't pull his hand away again, but silently allowed Li Yingzi to hold his hand, and the two walked back holding each other.
