Traveling through books to ancient times, I provoke the love of villains and powerful ministers

Li Wenkang didn't know why Emperor Qitai called him alone, so he followed the eunuch in charge all the way to the imperial study in anxiety.

But he probably also guessed something superficial. Today, Emperor Qitai promoted him to General Zhaoyi and transferred him to the Jingwei Commander Division as a commander.

The Commander of the Jingwei is responsible for the safety of the entire capital and also guards the palace ban. He has a heavy responsibility and cannot be missed. Li Wenkang guessed that Emperor Qitai wanted to beat him.

But after the meeting, the monarch and his ministers did not want to beat him as Li Wenkang thought, but first praised Li Wenkang's heroic performance in the Northwest War, and then chatted with him about family matters.

"I heard that Aiqing finally found her family."

"Yes, thanks to the emperor's blessing, I can finally reunite with my nieces." Li Wenkang was also happy when he mentioned this matter.

"I heard that your eldest niece has also reached the age of marriage, did you say anything about it? If not, there are still a few marriageable nephews in my family."

Although Li Wenkang was just a soldier when he followed Emperor Qitai, he followed Emperor Qitai, who was still the prince, step by step to win the world step by step, and even rescued Emperor Qitai from danger several times. Emperor Qitai saw it in his eyes and kept it in his heart.

It stands to reason that Li Wenkang should have been knighted long ago based on his achievements, but Emperor Qitai also had his own plan. Now Li Wenkang is placed in such an important position as the commander of the Jingwei because of his consideration.

If he can be the commander of the Jingwei well, he will always have a title.

But Emperor Qitai also knew that as soon as the news spread that Li Wenkang had become the commander of the Jingwei, the threshold of the Li family would be broken.

His two sons are already married, and the in-laws are both civil servants and dignified families, so there is no need to worry. I only heard that his newly found eldest niece, who is heavier than the eyeballs, has also reached the age of marriage.

Only then did Li Wenkang understand Emperor Qitai's true intention to summon him alone. The commander of the Jingwei was responsible for not forming cliques for personal gain, and he had to be extremely cautious about the marriage of his children.

"Lao Sheng is concerned, although I am away fighting, but thanks to the good wife at home, she even took care of my niece's marriage, and I will only discuss marriage when I come back."

"Oh, which family's son is favored by Li Aiqing's wife?" Emperor Qitai asked with narrowed eyes.

It was already sunset when Li Wenkang left the palace.

"General, are you going back to the mansion directly?" Li Wenkang's entourage asked.

"Go back to the mansion of the ass, go to the Guo mansion first, I have to apologize to my old father-in-law." Li Wenkang sighed a long time, saying that being with a king is like being with a tiger, and he really understood it today.

"Go faster," he called to the driver outside.

The carriage flew straight to Guo Mansion all the way, and Li Wenkang lifted the curtain to stare outside, jumping off the carriage as soon as he saw the word Guo Mansion.

On the way, I met Guo's eldest brother before I had time to say hello, so I went straight to the study of my father-in-law Guo Jijiu, and knelt down in the study.

"Wen Kang is reckless, I hope my father-in-law will forgive me."

Guo Jijiu, who was reading a book in the study, was taken aback by Li Wenkang's battle, thinking that something important had happened to him.

Until Li Wenkang told Guo Jijiu what happened today, Guo Jijiu groaned for a long time, helped him up, and said: "You did a good job in this matter. In my study today, we, the son-in-law, also had a few private words. It is said that there is no family relationship under the imperial power, and that is when there are no outsiders. Once outsiders intervene, those outsiders must be the first to do the surgery."

Guo Jijiu stroked his white beard, and said: "The emperor asked you this today because he doesn't want you to intervene in these disputes, so just be a pure minister."

"It's just... Mr. Yue Zhang, I really didn't have a suitable candidate at the time, so I..." Li Wenkang said helplessly.

Guo Jijiu put his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "Okay, I have met your niece, and I have also heard about her abandoning her rich life to take care of her younger siblings. She has a good character and temperament. I have no objection to this marriage."

"Go and find the third young master." Guo Jijiu opened the door, greeted the attendants not far away, then turned and said to Li Wenkang, "Although I have no objections, you have to ask Zezheng's meaning."

Li Wenkang hurriedly said: "This is nature, this is nature."

Not long after, Guo Yanping, the third young master of the Guo Mansion, came to the study room, bowed to Guo Jijiu and Li Wenkang: "Grandfather, Uncle."

Guo Yanping was endorsing a book in the study, when suddenly his grandfather's entourage came and sent him to the study to discuss matters. He heard that his second uncle was also in his grandfather's study, but he couldn't guess what it was all the way.

When he got to the study, he was grabbed by his uncle just as he finished his salute.

"Zezheng, Uncle has something to discuss with you." Li Wenkang looked at Guo Yanping with a smile.

Guo Yanping was frightened by Li Wenkang's sudden enthusiasm, so he withdrew his hand and bowed again: "Uncle, tell me."

Li Wenkang patted Guo Yanping's shoulder with a smile, and said, "My uncle's niece, Qingxi, you should have met her."

When Guo Yanping heard Li Wenkang mention Qi Qingxi, thinking of the beautiful figure when he first met, the tips of his ears involuntarily turned red again.

"Yes, I have met Cousin Qingxi a few times." Guo Yanping concealed the throbbing in his heart, and replied to Li Wenkang.

"Then what do you think of my niece?" Li Wenkang said.

He didn't wait for Guo Yanping's answer, instead he received a reprimand from his father-in-law first.

"If you are messing around, you are a man, so how can you open your mouth and comment on your daughter's family?"

Li Wenkang knew that his father-in-law, as the Imperial Academy, paid the most attention to etiquette and rules. Knowing that he had said something wrong, he quickly apologized and said with a smile: "I was confused, father-in-law, please forgive me."

Guo Yanping went to his grandfather's study for a long time and still didn't know what to do. He sometimes looked at his grandfather and sometimes at his uncle, hoping to get an answer.

Seeing his grandson's bewildered expression, Guo Jijiu explained to him: "Your uncle talked about the marriage for you in front of the emperor today. It is his niece Qingxi. Grandfather thinks that girl is good, but if you want It is you who will spend the rest of your life with her, so I have to ask your wishes."

It turned out that in the imperial study at that time, Emperor Qitai squinted and asked who Li Wenkang's niece betrothed to.

Li Wenkang immediately sank down and thought for a long time. He originally wanted to say that it was Gu Shoubei who cooked the raw rice directly, so he was afraid that Gu Zicong would not follow?

But he immediately thought of Gu Zicong's family background, and replied that he would inevitably cause dissatisfaction with the emperor, and if he really refused to obey, wouldn't it embarrass his precious niece?

So he quickly searched for a suitable candidate in his mind, and it turned out that the most suitable one had to be the third nephew of his wife's natal family.

Li Wenkang immediately replied that his wife had taken a fancy to his own nephew and wanted to match her niece.

Emperor Qitai laughed with satisfaction when he heard the words, and even said that when the two got engaged, they would just come to him to ask for a reward and to give a marriage decree.

Li Wenkang had no choice but to kowtow to his Yue family to thank him.After he left the palace gate, he immediately rushed to Guo Mansion to apologize.
