I am Li Shen and Li Shimin, the free kings of the Tang Dynasty

Lu Gongguo is Cheng Yaojin. When Li Shen heard that Cheng Yaojin kidnapped a top scholar and brought him home to be his son-in-law, his eyes almost popped out.

This Cheng Yaojin is really capable of doing anything.

Others all raped women, but he raped the top scholar.

If the Imperial College or those civil officials knew about this, they would definitely impeach him to death.

This group of scholars are very close-knit.

This is obviously disrespectful to Cheng Yaojin.

Li Shen immediately became interested.

He stood up and came to the couch, adjusting to a comfortable position.

"Let's continue and tell you what's going on."

This is a big piece of news. Who says men don’t gossip?

Seeing that Li Shen was interested, Shitou sorted out his thoughts and began to explain to Li Shen in detail.

It turns out that this same year's conference is not simple. It is a special social event and an official exchange event.

This event is organized by the newly crowned top scorers in the imperial examinations to celebrate their passing of the exam.

The location is usually chosen on the banks of the scenic Qujiang Lake in Chang'an City.

In addition to celebrating their passing of the imperial examination, the conference that year also provided those talented young people who had passed the imperial examination with an important opportunity to interact with the upper class.

Some dignitaries will be present at that time.

Moreover, this same-year party has one biggest highlight. In addition to celebration, it is also the best opportunity for this group of people to find their life partners.

Being able to stand out from thousands of candidates and become one of the top hundreds of Jinshi is undoubtedly a remarkable event.

These young talents are not only talented and knowledgeable, but their success also attracts the attention of many young ladies waiting to get married.

Therefore, this conference naturally became a high-end blind date event, giving talented men and beautiful women the opportunity to meet, and maybe even spark love.

Powerful families with unmarried daughters see this as an excellent opportunity to find good sons-in-law for their daughters.

For women, this conference is also a good stage to showcase themselves and find their ideal partner.

It can be said that this conference has promoted social mobility and marriage matching to a certain extent.

After hearing this, Li Shen roughly understood what this year's meeting meant. It turned out that celebrating and socializing were only secondary.

The important thing is to curry favor with the powerful.

Isn't this just a high-level blind date conference? Li Shen couldn't help but think in his heart.

"So what do you mean by kidnapping someone?"

Li Shen asked.

"Your Highness, Duke Lu also attended the annual meeting."

Stone answered.

"He went to a class reunion? He's a rough guy who can barely read a few words, what is he doing there?

Moreover, he is a military commander, so does he need to make friends with civil officials?"

Li Shen was somewhat puzzled. The people he was trying to make friends with were all talented people. To put it bluntly, they were placing bets in advance and forming cliques.

But Cheng Yaojin is different. He is a military general. What kind of people does he make friends with?

"Your Majesty, Duke Lu went there to choose a husband for his daughter.

His daughter fell in love with the number one scholar in the Ming Law Examination, but this number one scholar in the Ming Law Examination did not choose Duke Lu's Mansion.

Instead, he chose the girl from the Cui family.

When Duke Lu heard this, he was furious and tied the man up and took him back.

He said that he must become his son-in-law, otherwise he would break his legs.

I heard that the Cui family had already gone to Duke Lu's mansion to ask for the person back, but Duke Lu would not let them go.

The Cui family is preparing to file a complaint with the imperial court."

Shitou finished speaking in one breath, and Li Shen was really stunned. This guy was too brutal, trying to steal the bride.

If the other person doesn't agree, you just take it away by force. This is even bolder than your own.

"Eh? That's not right. I haven't heard that the old man has a daughter. Are you sure he snatched her back for his own daughter?"

Li Shen suddenly realized that something was wrong. He had never heard that Cheng Yaojin had a daughter in all these years.

I have never heard the six brothers of the Cheng family say they have a younger sister.

“Your Majesty, I don’t know either, but since there are rumors, it should be correct.

Otherwise, why would Duke Lu want to snatch the top scholar from someone else? "

Shitou doesn't know the details either.

Li Shen rubbed his chin and thought in his heart. Suddenly, an evil idea came to his mind. Could it be that this rolling meat had a male fetish and liked men's homosexuality?

The Tang Dynasty was relatively open-minded, so homosexuality was not a strange thing. Didn’t Li Chengqian also have that experience back then?

But I haven't heard that Guo Cheng Yaojin is a homosexual.

But if she really is Cheng Yaojin's daughter... Li Shen thought about Cheng Yaojin's appearance and shook his head.

He looks like this, so how could his daughter be pretty? No wonder the top scholar disagrees.

"Okay, this matter has nothing to do with us, but that number one scholar probably won't have any future.

The imperial examination was only the first step to enter officialdom, and not everyone who passed the examination could become an official.

Among these, connections are the most important, as well as background.

This top scholar thought that he could rise to a high position by marrying into the Cui family, but it was simply a pipe dream.

He may not know that the wife of Duke Lu is from the Qinghe Cui family.

I don't think this matter will be brought to the court, and it will end up in nothing.

If he is smart and willing to go to the Cheng family, maybe he still has a chance, otherwise he has no chance at all. "

Li Shen waved his hands. These people wanted to cling to the powerful, but they knew nothing about the powerful.

They dare to make random choices without even understanding the interpersonal relationships between the powerful and wealthy.

Li Shen frowned. Why are there still people who want to curry favor with the Five Surnames?

He didn't care about this class reunion, but Li Shen thought of one thing from the reunion.

These people are all disciples of the emperor. All the dignitaries have gone, so why doesn’t the prince go? Select some talented reserve forces.

Even if not, saying a few words of encouragement would make these people grateful to the prince.

Isn’t it the time when the prince is short of manpower?

Li Shen decided to find an opportunity to have a proper talk with Crown Prince Li Chengqian. Sometimes the emperor does not necessarily have to remain mysterious.

It is better to be friendly in some places.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and the old machine in Prince Ji's Mansion was running again, and the people of Chang'an City knew about it.

Prince Ji has reached adulthood, and the coming-of-age ceremony will be held in the imperial palace in half a month.

Carriage after carriage of supplies were sent to Prince Ji's Palace. The most common items were red cloth, silk, cloth, and brocade. As long as it was red, Prince Ji's Palace wanted it all.

Another part was sent to the farm of the Prince Ji's fiefdom, who ordered the fiefdom to make large lanterns, and to send batches of them to the Prince Ji's palace.

Then it was distributed by Prince Ji’s Mansion to the people of Chang’an City.

The entire Ji Wang Mansion has four farms and thousands of households under its jurisdiction. Regardless of whether they are fiefs or not, they all vied with each other to make lanterns for the Ji Wang Mansion for free.

These people are absolutely loyal to the Prince Ji's Mansion. The Prince Ji's Mansion has given them everything. The people are simple-minded. I will be good to whoever is good to me.

These people are always looking for opportunities to repay Prince Ji's Mansion.

(Congratulations on the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Celebrate for China and for the Chinese nation.)
