Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

"That's all right, the old man treats her like a princess."

Then, Li Zongxun came to Li Jiaojiao and talked freely.

"In order to prevent the princess from being wronged, the court once stipulated that after the princess marries into her husband's family, her seniority must be promoted by one generation. In other words, it means that her father-in-law is called elder brother. Since she is of the same generation, there is no need to bow down."

"Later, the son of the old prime minister Wang Gui married the princess. He felt that this system was unreasonable, so he asked the princess to visit her in-laws like ordinary people. His Majesty deeply agreed. Since then, the princess will not be promoted when she marries. .It’s less than ten years since this happened.”

"Now that you marry my son, I am your father-in-law. How should I treat you? Originally, according to the system, the princess is promoted by one generation, but now I let you be promoted by two generations, one generation higher than me. According to the seniority, you are me aunt."

Speaking of this, he suddenly knelt down on the ground and said: "Auntie, my nephew Li Zongxun kowtowed to you."

Ah ~

Li Jiaojiao screamed and jumped away, startled and anxious, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably, she said: "How could this happen? I... I can't live with this!"

Li Zongxun stood up, came to Li Daliang, and said, "Should I call you grandpa, or brother?"

"of course……"

Li Zongxun waved his hand and said, "You can make up your own mind. All in all, I have already offered this betrothal gift. I wonder if you are satisfied with it?"

"I..." Li Daliang really didn't expect Li Zongxun to do this trick.

He knows his elder brother too well, he is a pure man and a real man, he will try not to make noise as much as possible.

Kneeling down to my daughter-in-law and calling her aunt just now can never be explained by being a rascal!

Li Zongxun was a red-faced man, not to mention kneeling on his own initiative, even if he was forced on the neck with a knife, he would rather die than suffer such a great humiliation.

Now, not only did he do it so abnormally, but he also showed no shame.That means that he feels that what he worships is not his daughter-in-law, but righteousness, and it can even be said that it is the country and society of the Tang Dynasty!

Whenever I want to spit out half a "no", from now on, I am afraid that I will have to become a life and death enemy with this big brother.

But what if you nod yourself?From now on, you have to join the Prince's side.I'm afraid that the fame of my life will have to be wasted.

How can this be done?

Chapter 2127

For ordinary people, this choice is actually not difficult at all.

What's wrong with relying on the prince?In any case, the prince is also the most likely to inherit the throne.Now after the dragon, decades of wealth are indispensable.

But Li Daliang is different.

This person is not greedy for money or lustful, the only thing he likes is fame.

Honor is my life!

He is the kind of person who would rather die than have his reputation damaged.

His Majesty Li Er saw this right, so he made him the left guard general.There is also a reason for this aspect of his own efforts to repay the favor.

Now, Li Daliang is facing a difficult choice.

Adhere to the reputation of "devotion to duty" and face the infamy of "backing friends"!If you don't "return your friends", you will lose your reputation of "dedicated to your duties".

Just as he was hesitating, there was a sudden sound of footsteps!He looked up and saw two old men coming from a distance.

One is his old wife, and the other is Zhang Bi, his savior.

Li Daliang rushed forward to meet him, bowed and said: "Brother Zhang, why are you here?"

Zhang Bidao: "My siblings brought me here. Sigh, you made such a big decision, why didn't you discuss it with me? You almost made a big mistake."

"Brother, why did you say that!"

"Are you still hiding it from me? Do you want to marry your daughter to that unworthy son of mine? Li Yifu came to propose marriage, and you deliberately made things difficult for him for my son's sake. What three strange dowry requests were also made. Some No such thing?"

Li Daliang smiled wryly: "Brother Zhang, things are not that simple."

"I just asked you if there is such a thing? You can answer yes or no?"

"Well, that's true. But..."

"There's nothing wrong with it!" Zhang Bi shook his head and said, "My dear brother, what you did in this matter was a big mistake! Repaying kindness is not your way of repaying it."

"I……"

"Don't talk, listen to me first." Zhang Bi said: "You are good at everything, but you are too eager for fame. For example, if you want to repay me, you will give away all your family property with a single mouth. Tell me Can you agree? After agreeing, what will your wife and children do?"

Li Daliang said: "I still have a salary."

"You don't have a lot of salary, do you? You gave me all the family property. Wouldn't my sister-in-law and niece have to eat chaff for a while? Take a step back and let's not talk about your family, just talk about my brother and me." .Isn't the reputation of saving someone's life completely rotten by asking for all their property?"

"This...it seems that my younger brother didn't think carefully, and I apologize to you."

"I don't want you to apologize, but I want you to correct your mistakes. And today's matter, can I not understand my own son? Why can't I do anything, I can't eat enough, I'm greedy for money, lustful, and so on Good gamble! Why is this old man so hard-pressed? It was all caused by this kid!"

Zhang Buchang said: "Father, do you ever say that about your son? I have no merits?"

"Your biggest advantage is that you have winks. You only dare to bully honest people. I can still cover it, and I haven't caused me a catastrophe! But is there a use for it? You said that you are so old, and you still have to deal with it all day long." Get me into trouble, what use do I need you for? Sometimes, I really wish..."

Li Daliang hurriedly said: "Old brother, calm down! Calm down! In fact, the good nephew still has merits."

"for example?"

"For example... For example..." Li Daliang thought for a long time but couldn't think of anything, and changed the subject: "You want to persuade me not to marry my daughter to him?"

"Of course! My virtuous niece can't jump into the fire pit. Let's put it this way, you are engaged, and I will take him to the yamen behind and sue him for disobedience! Do you really want me to kill my son? ?”

What else can Li Daliang do if Zhang Bi talks about this?He had to say: "Well, from now on, the marriage between the son and the daughter will never be mentioned again."

"It's almost there."

Zhang Buchang was officially out of the game, and Guo Ye said while the iron was hot: "Mr. Wuyang County, you have only one choice now. Who will your daughter marry if she doesn't marry Li Yifu?"

"I... I'll think about it again..."

Mrs. Li couldn't bear it any longer, and said, "What are you thinking about, I brought all three betrothal gifts, and you're still talking nonsense..."

"Master, madam, something serious has happened!" At the moment when they were at home, Li Gui, the servant, ran over and said, "There is a decree from Yi!"

"Yizhi? What Yizhi?"

"It's the imperial edict of the empress."

Li Daliang frowned tightly, and said: "Our family has never had any contact with the empress, what does she have for me?"
