Crown Tang emperor

In the later period of Emperor Gaozong, the Turks revived, and this towering Khan Road connecting the north and the south of the desert was also severely damaged.Since the Kaiyuan period, although the establishment of the Sanshoucheng City cut off the Turks' road to the south, the Tang Dynasty did not continue to open up the deep desert.

Now that Qinghai has been recovered, and the forces of Tubo have retreated back to the mainland, it is no longer a problem for the time being, so Turkic Mochu, who is still entrenched in Mobei, will naturally become the next target of strategic strikes.

The imperial court appointed Li Zhaode as the prime minister, and asked him to recruit Monan Qunhu to rebuild the towering Khan Dao. At the same time, it also gave the Tang army who had been through the battle two to three years to prepare for the war.

Chapter 0990 Famous officials deceive the world, and their offspring are incompetent

After the Wangri Morning Dynasty ended, except for some officials who stayed straight, the rest of the Beijing and Central Divisions were basically allowed to have a holiday.

But the ministers still linger in the imperial city, one of them has to go to the capital province to collect the details of their respective rewards, and then they can go to Taicang, Zuo Zang, You Zang and other official warehouses to collect money and silk materials.

The second is that there are too many messages revealed by the court today, and the officials felt that they couldn't digest it for a while, half of curiosity, half of worrying that they didn't understand the meaning enough, so they gathered among the various departments in the imperial city to share with their colleagues and friends Let's discuss it.

In addition, some courtiers left the imperial city in a hurry after retiring from the court.Most of these people are the government officials involved in the inspection. After attending the court meeting, they have to rush to Dali Temple to accept questioning.They may not be guilty of any crimes, and they mainly cooperate with a series of investigations by Dali Temple.

Li Longji, king of Linzi, also belonged to this situation. After retiring from the court, he walked towards his two brothers and said with a little sadness: "Brothers, return to the mansion first, and let the officials in the mansion handle all the gifts. There is a call, try not to go out and wander."

"Third brother, is it quite serious that you got into trouble with this official?"

Anping Wang Li Longfan subconsciously became a little nervous when he heard his brother's advice.

The King of Beihai next to him was a little disapproving, waved his hands and said with a smile: "There is no need to worry too much about it, not to mention that Sanlang knows his own way and is not polluted, even if there are some ambiguities, the law will not blame everyone. Not to mention that my brother's family is close relatives, and they belong to the Eight Councils, so there won't be any problems!"

Speaking of this, the King of Beihai raised his hand and patted Li Longji's shoulder again with a smile and said: "Sanlang, go now, after finishing this trivial matter, I will hold a banquet in the mansion to drive away the bad luck of entering and leaving the criminal department. Another day tomorrow His Royal Highness King Qi also invited the members of the clan to discuss the formation of the polo team. If it is convenient for you, it is best to come together. Our cousin is generous. Appeal at the table, begging for some protection."

After Li Longji heard the words, he didn't comment, he just waved his hands to his brothers, and then walked outside the palace gate.

When he was walking out of the palace gate, he saw Cao Guogong waiting for his colleagues at the side of the palace gate, but he stopped after a while.Taking advantage of the majestic general Wang Xiaojie passing by, he hurriedly left the palace gate from the other side, and called a servant to bring the car, and then proceeded to the questioning place of Dali Temple under the escort of the entourage go.

As the new year approached, Dali Temple suddenly had a lot of work to push cases, and it was extremely busy.And because the officials who were interrogated were not necessarily guilty, but just cooperated with the investigation, in order not to make the atmosphere of pushing the case too serious, they simply borrowed an unused mansion of Taifu Temple in the nearby Yongchangfang of the imperial city, and used it as a temporary place to push the case. where the hospital is located.

When Li Longji came to this temporary location, the inside and outside of the courtyard were already full of officials who came to assist in questioning the case.He had just participated in the early court, and he was dressed in the Zongwang Zhangfu, which was quite eye-catching. As soon as he arrived, he attracted the attention of the crowd.

This atmosphere naturally made him a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, the officials of Dali Temple did not dare to neglect him, the Zongwang. The group had just arrived at the gate of the mansion hall, and some officials led the Linzi King and his party to the temporary retreat first. courtyard.

The king of Linzi entered the temporary court, and Li Rizhi, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple who presided over the trial work here, personally stepped down to welcome him, and invited the king of Linzi into the straight hall.

Although Li Rizhi's attitude was quite respectful and kind, but Li Longji couldn't feel joy in his heart. After exchanging pleasantries with each other, he took the initiative to express his position: "Xiao Wang came to see you in the hall, so it is inconvenient for you to say your innocence. It's okay for Li Shaoqing to ask directly about any matters involved." , I will tell you everything I know, hoping to restore my innocence as soon as possible.”

After Li Rizhi heard the words, he didn't say anything more. Although the attitude of greeting was quite kind, but when it came time to formally question the case, he resumed his businesslike attitude, and invited King Linzi to sit down in the pushing room on one side. , There were already several officials waiting in the room.

"During the World Expo in the fourth year of Kaiyuan, Guanglu Temple was ordered to set up a food garden alone. All the money and transactions involved more than 730 million yuan, and nearly [-] yuan were not in line with the ratio of warehouse receipts and accounts. Excuse me, my lord, during the assembly Who are the revenue and expenditure transfer officials..."

Li Rizhi opened the case file and threw out the questions one by one, and watched the change of Linzi King's expression intently.

Li Longji answered these kinds of questions earnestly while recalling them. Sometimes he spoke faster, but when he realized that the officials at the desk were unable to write well enough, he deliberately slowed down.

Although such a move was not obvious, it also made the officials of the punishment department in the hall feel good about the young Zongwang.They recently questioned the case, and many high-ranking courtiers were admitted to the hospital for interrogation. They were confident and reserved, and they had seen it no matter how bad their attitude was. It was rare for Linzi King to be so kind and considerate to the subordinates.

Today's cross-examination is mainly to understand the personnel arrangements in the process of the World Expo.Although it is said that Zhibo from Guanglu Temple has already been taken by Dali Temple, there are always some minor adjustments in the specific work process, and it is necessary to directly ask the head of the department.

Not a short time has passed since the World Expo, and there were so many affairs at that time, it is inevitable that the king of Linzi could not remember things clearly.Every time such a situation happened, Li Rizhi either made insinuations, or reminded him slightly through the confessions of people in Guanglu Temple, but if he really got nothing, he would not continue to pester him.

With the cooperation of King Linzi, the interrogation process went smoothly.When Li Rizhi looked through the content of the interrogation recorded by the officials, he nodded in satisfaction, then stood up from the table and bowed to the King of Linzi with a smile and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for being considerate of your subordinates. Your majesty is so tolerant and considerate, the case will be reduced more quickly."

"We are all ministers of food and wealth. Under the emperor's order, is there any difference? The case involves hundreds of thousands of money, and Xiao Wang also hopes to pursue it as soon as possible. It can not only make up for the state, but also allow me to be honored. Liao will be innocent and praise his merits soon!"

Seeing that the cross-examination had come to an end, Li Longji also stood up from his seat and responded to Li Rizhi's thanks.

"Today's case has bothered Your Majesty so far. If you still need supplementary personnel information in the future, I will send someone from a humble position to the residence to ask you. I boldly ask Your Majesty not to go far out of Gyeonggi before or after the festival, and stay where you are when you travel."

Li Rizhi knew that the criminal department was not a good place to entertain guests. After the interrogation, he personally sent the king of Linzi out of the door, and summoned an official to continue the gift.

After returning to the push room, Li Rizhi picked up a pen to reorganize the records, and highlighted the rather vague details of the events described by the King of Linzi, and ordered an official on the left side of the case to say: "Compare these few places with the confessions of other officials. Fan, Jingyao Gate guards have a sacrifice that day the King of Linzi once entered the city..."

Leaving aside Li Rizhi's further investigation of related matters, Li Longji was on his way out of the courtyard when he suddenly heard a commotion from another straight hall not far away. He walked around the corridor and looked there. Cao Guogong Li Bei, who arrived at Tuiyuan, was venting his anger on his subordinates, clamoring and refusing to accept interrogation.

Seeing this scene, Li Longji's mood was quite complicated.Logically speaking, Guanglu Temple is responsible for supervising the management of the food garden, and this incident alone has created millions of dollars in revenue for the court. As a result, the court insisted on the small pains, and all the officials from the direct secretary to the middle and lower officials suffered consecutive hardships. It is really unacceptable to check again and again.

But having said that, it is really amazing that more than 50 yuan of money has been lost due to the incident of the director of Guanglu Temple alone.Regardless of whether the stolen money can be recovered or not, such as Cao Guogong and himself as a direct superintendent, cannot get rid of the relationship.

Not to mention that Li Longji also knew in his heart that Cao Guogong was actually deeply involved in this matter, at least tens of thousands of money flowed to him.So when Gouyuan was first established, Cao Guogong was busy colluding with his colleagues.

Li Longji has also attended such gatherings several times. One is to hear from the public how serious the situation is, and the other is to observe how his colleagues treat him.

However, after participating a few times, the results were not very great. Cao Guogong also hinted at him in his words, hoping that the two of them could jointly protect each other.Both of them are relatives of the emperor, even if they are indeed guilty, because they are among the eight officials, they will not be punished like ordinary officials. If the responsibility is shared, the actual punishment will undoubtedly be smaller.

But the problem is that Li Longji didn't play a role in it at all. Naturally, there is no need to join forces with Cao Guogong, so he doesn't respond to this kind of pleading, and he has simply avoided it recently.

Cao Guogong was still clamoring for meritorious service and innocence, and even incited officials inside and outside the court to resist interrogation.But soon a group of people in the imperial city rode into the workshop, and the leader of the team was Guo Da, the inner guard who was in charge of the saint's guard.

As Guo Da entered the Tuiyuan, all kinds of noisy discussions disappeared immediately, and even Cao Guogong, who was quite arrogant just now, lowered his head and stood in the corridor without saying a word.

As the internal guards entered the Tuiyuan, Zhu Jingze, the imperial censor who had recently paid homage to the prime minister in the court hall, also led his staff here, announcing the official start of the process of the three divisions pushing cases and recovering stolen goods, and it is no longer just the Dali Temple who are the only ones who are interrogated The courtiers were furious.

Li Longji watched the excitement for a while, then hurried out of the courtyard before being noticed by everyone.Not long after he walked out of the pushing courtyard, he saw a young man in a dark green official robe walking towards him.

Li Longji happened to know this person, and it was Di Guangyuan who was the new director of Dali Temple not long ago and also the head of the heir to the palace.

Di Guangyuan noticed the gaze of the King of Linzi, and quickly walked over to salute him: "I have seen the king before!"

Because of Di Renjie, and the fact that his brothers had gradually become estranged after returning to Beijing, Li Longji didn't have a good impression of Di Guangyuan, so he just nodded slightly with a flat attitude.

But after thinking about it for a while, he called Di Guangyuan again and asked: "The New Year's Eve is approaching, and the family temple sacrifices are in urgent need of preparations, may I ask when Di Changshi's mansion is free, and my brothers can come to the mansion for reunion. "

After hearing the words, Di Guangyuan became a little embarrassed, and after a moment of silence, he cupped his hands and replied: "The empress dowager will go to Lishan Xuanyuan Hall to pray for the late emperor at the end of the year, and the king of the mansion will also drive there. Certainly……"

Hearing Di Guangyuan's answer, Li Longji's eyes flashed sharply again, he stomped his feet and snorted coldly: "Since you are said to be an heir, what should you do? The young king may be ignorant, why don't you wait for the counselors to act?" remind!"

The year-end sacrifice needs to be presided over by the heir.It turned out to be a good thing now, the King Sixiang actually went out of Beijing to Lishan to pray for Zhang Zong's practice.

Di Guangyuan knew that something was wrong with this matter, but he just lowered his head and let the king of Linzi reprimand him angrily.Although he is the heir to the prince's mansion, he really doesn't have much say in this matter.

Dali Temple has been busy recently, and he has no time to sit and guard the Sixiang Wang's mansion all day long. When he was still in charge of the government hall, an assistant came to tell the Sixiang Wang's grandfather Wang Meichang to enter the mansion and lead the Sixiang Wang away. It was too late to stop him .

Li Long was basically irritable, and when he learned about this, he couldn't help being even more annoyed, pointing at Di Guangyuan and angrily scolded: "You are worthy of being called a son of a famous family! Hmph, being a father is already deceitful." If you suspect that you are a son, you will not be able to make up for it with a single word! If the family ceremony is not done this year, I will sue the saint and sweep you and other mediocre people out of the palace!"

After saying this, he walked away.When Di Guangyuan heard this, his eyes turned red instantly, and tears of shame and anger almost burst out of his eyes.

After venting his anger to Di Guangyuan, Li Longji was still in a state of resentment, and he did not go straight to his mansion when he left Yongchangfang, but went to Xingningfang to meet his aunt, Princess Taiping.

Although Li Longji offended Princess Taiping before, after some remedies afterwards, the relationship between the aunt and nephew is still acceptable.Although they may not be very close to each other in their hearts, they are always harmonious on the face.

This time when he came to the door, Li Longji was not left hanging in the front hall, but was directly led into the middle hall by the servants of the mansion to be summoned.

Princess Taiping in the hall had just received a few visitors, and when Li Longji came, she pushed some of the invitations on the case to Li Longji, and said with a smile: "Scholar Song will come to visit several times, but you will My cousin went to Lishan, and there was no head of household at home, so I couldn't accompany such literati and poets to talk about things. If Sanlang has spare time, he might as well pick this person up. This kind of communication between people can also help people make connections.”

After Li Longji heard the words, he answered with a smile, raised his hand to pick up Song Zhiwen's greeting card, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional in his heart.

When it comes to contact with Shiliu's contacts, he is really no wider than this aunt.A down-and-out literati like Song Zhiwen would think of visiting Princess Dachang, but he turned a blind eye to his equally dear Zongwang.

The deeper he is immersed in world affairs, the more he can appreciate the richness of human affairs and communication, and he will not underestimate Song Zhiwen because of his lack of status.This kind of time in the field also has its own influence, and sometimes it is even more calm than the time in the imperial court.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Longji sighed again, flicked the placard in his hand and said with a wry smile: "Although my aunt intends to praise me for being well-known and well-known, I am afraid that I will let this down. Years and years, I am in such an uncomfortable situation. I don't know how long I will be entangled in these chores..."

Chapter 0991 a cow staggers, a group of murderers fight for food

Hearing what King Linzi said, Princess Taiping frowned, and murmured a little puzzled: "The court's annual income is already so rich, but they still want to pursue details? Those ministers who are in charge are busy The merits have not yet been determined, and they will be entangled by this criminal. If you check, you will have no disciples. Isn't it a bit harsh for a saint to do this?"

"It's not reasonable to say that!"

After Li Longji heard the words, he sighed, and then said: "All the ministers have indeed made meritorious service, so the court rewards are generous at the end of the year. But the income of the treasury is the fixed number of the country, how can it indulge selfish desires and secretly punish because of its growth?

The strength of a country lies in its strictness, as many as millions of coins disappeared without a trace, and how many shady moths were hidden in them is even more shocking than the loss of money!The embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in the ant's nest. If you ignore the hidden dangers because of the good harvest, the disaster will deepen in the long run, and it will be too late to prevent it! "

Putting aside his personal position and feelings, Li Longji felt that the saint's attitude towards the investigation of the stolen money was not inappropriate.Even if it is a small family running a household, if it wants to maintain it for a long time, it cannot ignore the control of expenditure just because of abundant income, let alone a huge imperial court.

How much the imperial court collects and the stolen money that disappears are two independent issues. The former reflects how the imperial court manages politics, while the latter highlights an issue of official governance.If you confuse the two into the same theory, you either have no wisdom in governing the world, or you have evil plans and deliberately confuse the public.

So after listening to Princess Taiping's words, Li Longji looked at Princess Taiping thoughtfully, and couldn't help wondering whether this aunt's argument was more of the former or the latter.

The more he interacted with Princess Taiping, the more Li Longji was amazed at the abundance of personnel resources controlled by this aunt, which was far more than what he saw on the surface.

What he personally experienced was that Princess Taiping asked him for a little convenience when she visited the food garden during the World Expo, but he didn't know how many requests this aunt made in secret.

So after pondering for a while, Li Longji continued: "Auntie, don't underestimate the strength of this time's recovery of stolen goods. The imperial court has indeed generated astonishing income this season. This new source of income is different from the income from rent adjustment and taxation in previous years. Therefore, it is not possible for the original bureaus to control all the income and expenditure, and new personnel regulations are needed to supervise it. The scale and how much room for maneuver are still undecided, so try not to get involved lightly..."

Even in ordinary human affairs communication, after getting to know new friends, you have to try and understand it before you can grasp the proper way of communication. Old experience may not be effective.

Now the imperial court has created such a large financial source, which has even exceeded the original income.Moreover, these business interests and taxes are highly volatile and not as stable as the original rent adjustment and taxation, so the imperial court's original financial supervision experience and institutions are naturally no longer applicable.

Once these new financial resources become an important part of the imperial government's fiscal budget, it is natural not to allow too many variables in them.

Li Longji has also been thinking about this issue recently. If he is relocated, if he is the governor of the Political Affairs Hall, the first thing he needs to do in the face of such a financial situation is to eliminate the various variables that exist in it as much as possible, and maintain For the stability of the business environment, use new standards to measure and supervise, and try to control the fluctuations caused by personnel.

Only in this way can this part of the income become an important part of the imperial court's finances. Of course, a country's financial situation cannot fluctuate violently.

If the imperial court can't even achieve this kind of control, then this part of the financial resources will be just water without roots.

Therefore, in the coming year and even the next few years, the focus of the imperial court's work will be the process of playing games with many variables, and the intensity of various supervision will inevitably be gradually strengthened.

If you want to seek benefits in this process, it is best to have a deep understanding of the government's changes in government orders. If you happen to stand on the opposite side, you will most likely be ruthlessly crushed.

For those clan relatives, if they want to illegally arbitrage in the process, the punishment they will incur may even exceed that of privately shading tenant farmers.

After all, it is a new field of supervision, and if you want to form a long-term deterrence, you must be strong and strict.If you still think that there will be a lot of room for breaking the law as before, the reality may be very cruel!

Hearing what Li Longji said, Princess Taiping's face became a little unnatural, and it seemed that she had indeed been told what was on her mind.

But she didn't continue to talk about her own problems, but watched Linzi King change the subject, and continued: "If it is true what Sanlang said, then you are involved in a lot of things in Guanglu, Sanlang, you work in this department, it is difficult to imagine Keep your innocence alone?"

Regarding this question, Li Longji also felt a little depressed.

He is not a short-sighted person. In addition, he is not rich in professional experience. He did not dare to get involved in it in awe. , and because he was eager to seek favors at the time, if he really pursued it, he would inevitably be suspected of dereliction of duty.

In addition, it is Wang Renjiao's sect.Although after the establishment of the Gouyuan, he questioned Wang Renjiao carefully, counted the stolen money, and made up for it through some channels during the inspection process, trying to eliminate Wang Renjiao's responsibility as the guardian.

However, Li Longji was not sure whether Wang Renjiao had explained everything.Wang Renjiao's big problem is that he is short-sighted and doesn't have a big picture, otherwise he wouldn't give up halfway after following the sage for many years, so that he would fall into despair.

Although Li Longji repeatedly emphasized the danger of the situation, Wang Renjiao may not have a clear understanding.In addition, he himself needs a certain amount of living money to maintain his life and socialize, and there may be a part of his income that has been concealed and not mentioned.

But as long as money and silk from the public treasury are not stolen, the problem of receiving money from the people is not too big.

Right now, the imperial court is only interrogating the officials, and has not involved private merchants. Moreover, there are a large number of merchants and they are highly active. As long as they don’t take the initiative to report and expose officials who have been extorting money and bribes, it will be very difficult for the imperial court to fully investigate. Focus entirely on Wang Renjiao, an inconspicuous subordinate.

"Of course troubles are unavoidable. After returning to court at noon, I just went to Tuiyuan of Dali Temple to be interrogated. I can't indulge in wandering around the New Year's Eve. I have to wait for follow-up questioning in the square mansion."

When asked by Princess Taiping, Li Longji did not hide his distress, and then sighed half-truthfully: "After all, there was a mistake in the previous schedule. If my aunt can clear up the relationship and arrange the grapes before entering the exhibition If it is imported into the palace as a forbidden tribute, then the planning beforehand can be made more calmly, and there is no need to worry about investigation and trial afterwards."

"After all, it's not like being served intimately by others, but there are good people and wise men who give advice personally!"

Speaking of this point, Princess Taiping couldn't help saying that she thought that the spice industry of Li Xueshi's family was included in the tribute in advance. Although the high-grade spices of dozens of stones were provided for nothing, the sales were booming afterwards, even if the premium was higher. High, there will be no accusations of shoddy.

Not to mention that Shangguan Wan'er launched a membership sale of the Xiangxiang Club before, and it is said that this item alone has collected millions of dollars in living money, which made Shiliu very envious and jealous, including Taiping naturally. Princess.

Li Longji couldn't help but be a little curious when he heard this. He thought of this because today's imperial court has a lot of gifts from folk workshops. He thinks it can be used as a remedy. He smiled and asked: "Walking with the general trend can get twice the result with half the effort. Who can understand the court situation and take a step forward?"

Princess Taiping shook her head, unwilling to continue this topic. Although she was displeased with the adulterous man and woman, she would not leak the secret.

After thinking for a while, she pointed to Li Longji again and said, "It's not impossible to get rid of these troubles. We, the close members of the clan, don't have to completely abide by the laws and regulations. After all, there are human relationships and friendships besides the code of law." rely.

If San Lang doesn't want to be involved in criminal cases for a long time, it's better to start the process of discussing marriage immediately. There is nothing greater than this. interrupt. "

When it comes to the perception and judgment of court affairs, Princess Taiping may not be as sensitive and accurate as King Linzi.But she was able to walk from the turbulent old days of Wu Zhou to the present. Apart from the protection from her mother, she herself is not useless.

Princess Taiping's greatest gift is to be able to deal with even the most important incidents by turning them into grievances.She didn't know whether the King of Linzi was in prison to receive the money, but since the current friendship is good, she was not hesitant to give some pointers, and this was her plan in the first place.

"It's not awkward to talk about marriage at this time. It's not awkward to talk about marriage at this time. It can save Saburo from being questioned by the criminal department. Even if you will inevitably have to ask questions later, after the marriage process is over, I think it's already possible. I have used the previous events that have been interrogated and closed as a reference. I will make a confession at that time, and I can make more calm choices."

When it comes to Princess Taiping's manipulation of his marriage, Li Longji has a subconscious resistance in his heart.But when it comes to this matter now, I have to admit that Princess Taiping's method is indeed a bit ingenious.

Now he can't guess what the court's next standard will be for recovering stolen goods and sentencing, so when he confesses in the case, he doesn't know how much he should reveal.If the relevant matters can be postponed a bit, the situation will naturally become clearer.

So after thinking about it for a while, Li Longji nodded, not unmoved, and said: "There are no parents in charge of the family, and my brother is still a widow. Fortunately, there is an aunt who does not abandon the humble and is willing to take care of it. Longji I can't thank you, but I can only rely on my aunt's advice for everything!"

Seeing Li Longji's attitude, Princess Taiping was naturally quite satisfied, so she said in a big way: "The two families are not strangers at all, and they already have contact and friendship with each other. Tomorrow will coincide with King Qi's family banquet, when your brother And go, I will also lead that lady to meet, and I will announce the good news to relatives and friends during the banquet, and then I can directly enter the ceremony."

Although he was prepared in his heart, Li Longji was still in a daze when he heard that the schedule was so rushed.

He had also seen Wu Zaide's legitimate daughter of the right age in Princess Taiping's mansion. Although she looked like a young woman, Li Longji couldn't say that she had any intention of courting her because of her family status.

But under the strong suggestion of Princess Taiping, and it is indeed beneficial to him, so the idea of ​​resistance in his heart is not strong, so he nodded again.

"In addition to San Lang and your own marriage, I also found time to meet the Webster woman whom Wang Beihai talked about getting married recently. Although she is not a high-ranking and wealthy family, she is still a lady of a rich family after all, and her manners are not good. If you want to humiliate the family of Heaven, you might as well handle it together."

Princess Taiping continued: "Husband and wife are friendly, friends and relatives are watching, and this has the appearance of a camp. You boys and girls may hope that the big event can be arranged smoothly, but when the time comes, it is better to be as simple as possible. Let people see This great joy is simple, and it is inevitable that I will feel pity. Even if there are any entanglements in financial and criminal affairs later, the trial of the previous matter can still be held high and lenient."

It has to be said that Princess Taiping is quite proficient in grasping people's feelings.

The two young kings hold a wedding together. If the scene is simple and shabby, it does not match the proper manners, let alone how people will comment at the time.Afterwards, even if it was found out that the king of Linzi was involved in taking stolen goods, he had a ready-made excuse to pass the blame and beg for mercy.

Li Longji wasn't worried about himself, but he didn't have much confidence in Wang Renjiao's subordinate, and was worried that there might be thunderstorms in Wang Renjiao's place.Right now, he still needs to rely on Wang Renjiao for everything, and he can't just give up.Therefore, it is an option that can be considered by making preparations in advance through marriage.

Just thinking that his second brother was deeply ashamed because of Webster's regretful marriage, and it would still take a lot of talking to persuade him, he couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.
