Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 771 Why don't you choose another son-in-law
The outer suburban road of Chang'an City.

The suburban roads are very flat. In the largest and most populous city in the world, the roads outside the city have been trampled by business travelers traveling from north to south. Over the years, it has become so flat that it looks a bit like a cement road in later generations.

King Teng and Wu Minzhi rode together in a carriage, the carriage swayed slightly, and they talked happily.

Before today, King Teng and Wu Minzhi were not very familiar with each other.

The two have met each other on various occasions, and of course, when they met, they also referred to each other as best friends in this life with deep affection.

But both of them knew that what was said at the wine table had less gold content than farts.

Strictly speaking, the two are actually not even wine and meat friends, because they don't drink and eat meat together much.

However, when Wu Minzhi brought up cockfighting for money today, he had to say that he just scratched Teng Wang's itch.

His Royal Highness Prince Teng likes this.

So Teng Wang ran out immediately.

It had been an hour since the carriage drove out of the city, but King Teng still had no doubts at this moment, instead, he was enthusiastically thinking about how to match a fighting cock that was invincible today and win more money.

After an hour, King Teng became a little impatient.

"Minzhi, is the cockfighting place so far away from Chang'an City?" Teng Wang lifted the curtain of the car and glanced outside.

Wu Minzhi also glanced out of the car, frowned and said: "It stands to reason that we should have arrived long ago, this driver is too slow, he is dawdling, so he doesn't know what's going on!"

As he spoke, Wu Minzhi lifted the curtain of the car, patted the coachman on the shoulder, and said, "Stop, get off, I will drive the car myself!"

The coachman didn't dare to say anything more, stopped the carriage and rolled down in despair.

King Teng was a little surprised. It is rare for a son of a powerful person to drive a carriage in person. This son of the Wu family seems to be extraordinary.

Only King Teng and Wu Minzhi were left in the carriage. Wu Minzhi sat cross-legged on the shaft of the chariot, holding the reins with both hands. King Teng was ashamed to let him be the driver, so he also got out of the carriage and sat side by side with Wu Minzhi on the shaft. superior.

"Minzhi is really...hehe, different." Teng Wang began to chat awkwardly out of words.

After the reins were controlled in Wu Min's hands, his expression changed, becoming silent and numb, only his eyes flashed with excitement and madness from time to time, but King Teng who was sitting beside him didn't notice.

Compared with Teng Wang's awkward chat, Wu Minzhi's topic is obviously much more normal.

"I heard that His Highness's daughter, the county master of Jinxiang, is going to get married soon?" Wu Minzhi asked suddenly.

King Teng was taken aback for a moment, feeling a little strange in his heart.

The marriage with Yu's family is currently only known to the elders of both parties. If the marriage of a man and a woman is to be finalized, at least two procedures of acceptance and name asking are required in the six rituals. announced.

How did Wu Minzhi know?
"Ah, I have this idea, but it's not certain." King Teng showed a proud smile: "My daughter is beautiful and beautiful, and there are many people in Chang'an who yearn for it. It is related to the life of the daughter. You should be more cautious in choosing a son-in-law. of."

The words are very conservative, in line with the habits of Chinese people.

Before things are decided, don't talk too much, so as not to be slapped in the face after something happens.

Wu Minzhi smiled and said: "Yu Su, the patriarch of the Yu family, used to be the prince's servant, and it was considered a moment of glory, but after the emperor ascended the throne, Yu Su was old, and the Yu family gradually lost his family, and his son Yu Yin is now It seems that Jiazhou Sicang joined the army, a sixth-rank official, His Highness chose him as his son-in-law, I am afraid that he has wronged Qianqin?"

King Teng was taken aback for a moment, smacking his mouth, and finally felt something was wrong.

Today Wu Min's fear is not as simple as just inviting him to a cockfight.

"Min Zhi has something to say, you might as well speak it out, hehe, you and I are close friends, so there is no need to beat around the bush." ​​Teng Wang stroked his beard and laughed.

Wu Minzhi turned his head and glanced at him, and said with a smile: "What can I say about your Highness's family affairs? I just feel that His Highness is a little hasty in marrying a daughter. Chang'an is so talented, why don't you choose more?"

King Teng frowned, and blurted out: "Could it be that Min Zhi has the intention of seeking the Phoenix? Hey, that's not right!"

After the words were spoken, King Teng remembered that Wu Minzhi had already been married, and there was not only a wife in his family, but also a lot of concubines, so it was impossible for him to have the intention to marry Jinxiang. To put it bluntly, no married man Maybe he is eligible to marry Jinxiang, no matter how noble his status is.

Wu Minzhi smiled: "I have already been married, how can I be worthy of Qianjin? However, I do have a candidate who is more than a thousand times stronger than that Yu Yin. Since His Highness is marrying a daughter, why don't you consider one or two?"

King Teng raised his eyebrows: "I don't know who Minzhi recommends, and which family's talent is it?"

"Marquis of Weinan County, Li Qinzai, Li Jingchu. My dear brother."

King Teng was stunned for a moment, then he was taken aback: "You, why are you talking to that villain..."

Wu Minzhi smiled: "The friend I just met, he is a good person, he is righteous, and has a noble character. He has both the talents of the world and the courage of the world. He is really the best choice for His Highness's son-in-law."

King Teng showed anger: "It was Li Qinzai who asked you to be a lobbyist? You know that Li Qinzai is already married, so if my daughter is married, can I be his concubine?"

"Tsk, is fame that important?" Wu Minzhi pursed his lips, the words really came from the heart.

His own mother, his own sister, his aunt, and the messy relationship with the emperor Li Zhi, apart from Empress Wu, who has a name for a few women?
But King Teng was furious: "Why is fame not important? My daughter is a member of the royal family, a majestic county lord. Wouldn't it make people laugh at me to be a concubine? How will this king raise his head in the future?"

Seeing that King Teng was furious, Wu Minzhi hurriedly smiled and said: "Oh, I just said it casually, why should His Highness get angry, since His Highness is not happy, just pretend that I didn't say anything about it, how about it?"

Seeing that Wu Minzhi was subdued, King Teng snorted angrily, and then stopped making any further noises.

Wu Minzhi still controlled the reins of the carriage with both hands, looked at the endless road ahead, then shook the reins a few times without any trace, and the two horses pulling the carriage ran faster and faster.

Sitting by the shaft of the car, King Teng obviously felt the speed of the car was accelerating, and looking at Wu Minzhi's expressionless face, King Teng involuntarily grasped the door frame of the car wall.

"Uh, Brother Min, slow down, I'm not in such a hurry." King Teng tremblingly said with his face turning blue.

But Wu Minzhi didn't know anything about it, and shook the reins a few more times with both hands, and the horse ran even faster.

The scenery on the side of the road retreated rapidly, and the howling wind blew on his face like a blade.

King Teng's face became more and more ugly, and he looked forward in horror, but he didn't dare to pull the rein in Wu Minzhi's hand.

"Minzhi, Minzhi's nephew, Minzhi's brother, no, don't be too fierce, too fast, this king can't bear it..." King Teng didn't realize that his car was faster than Wu Minzhi.

Wu Minzhi's eyes became more and more crazy, and after a long time, he quietly said: "Your Highness, tell me, what is the meaning of living in this world..."

King Teng was taken aback for a moment, and then his whole body exploded.

You have such a boring life, what are you doing behind my back?

"Minzhi, Brother Minzhi, listen to me, you are still young, don't go further and further down the wrong path..." Teng Wang's face was livid, but his tone was so gentle that he could pinch water, for fear of provoking this desperate lunatic again.

But Wu Minzhi suddenly stood up from the shaft of the chariot, stood firmly on the shaft with both feet, shook the reins vigorously with both hands, and shouted: "Drive!"

The horses pulling the cart galloped like crazy.

King Teng screamed in fright: "Dog thief, are you crazy? Come on, where are the guards? Hurry up, escort! Ahhhhhh!"

Wu Minzhi laughed wildly: "You scream, scream, the more you call me, the more excited you are, hahahaha!"
