Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 796
The news that the head of Jinxiang County was removed from his account spread more and more widely in Chang'an City.

In this era, the Tian family is actually shrinking the nomination of titles. That is to say, the Tian family does not want too many courtiers to be titled, and it is better to have fewer and fewer courtiers. Light, then thank goodness.

The same is true for clansmen, and the emperor does not want too many clansmen.

Because clansmen, like titles, are non-workers who do not engage in production, the imperial court had to grant titles, fiefs, and real food towns to each clan clan.

Clan relatives, a species that gets something for nothing, are especially good at giving birth. They have a litter in their lifetime, and the cubs in the litter are all related to the Tian family. It is unreasonable not to be given a title.

In this way, it is caught in a vicious circle.

In the long run, the burden on the national treasury will become heavier, and more serious consequences will arise, especially the annexation of land by the powerful landlord class.

The emperor knew this problem very early, so from the Zhenguan period, the Tian family intentionally or unintentionally cut off the titles of the courtiers, reduced the salaries of the clan members, and reduced the burden on the treasury as much as possible.

From the perspective of the overall situation, there is nothing wrong with the emperor except for the account of the county lord of Jinxiang, even if he doesn't give a reason, there is nothing wrong with it.

If you have to explain, the treasury can't afford to support the county lord, can you?
However, the discussions of the Chang'an government and the public are not so simple.

After all, before Jinxiang was removed from his account, he had an affair with Li Qinzai, and even involved the former Heluoyu family.

King Teng married the Yu family, and he was about to get on the sedan chair, but was stopped by Li Qinzai at the right time. The well-informed person even described it vividly. Someone saw Li Qinzai's friend Xue Negaoqi leading a group of top dudes in Chang'an , bid farewell to Yuyin at Zheliu Pavilion outside Chang'an City.

"Farewell" is a whitewashed word, and if you put it badly, it means expulsion.

Then, Jinxiang was stripped of the title of county head.

Obviously, there must be a follow-up to this matter.

Under the enthusiastic expectation of many onlookers, the follow-up came as expected.

On the second day after the county lord of Jinxiang was cut off, a group of people walked out of the British government.

There are about hundreds of people and horses, all of whom are part of the Duke's Mansion.

The dancers were dressed up, with satin ribbons hanging on the horizontal knife scabbards at their waists. The dancers led the way, followed by Li Qinzai dressed up grandly, and finally there was a team of servants carrying the ceremony burden. The team stretched mightily A few miles, from Suzaku Street to Taipingfang.

Except for the part of opening the way, the rest are all servants carrying the burden of ceremony. In addition, there are officials invited from the Ministry of Rites to preside over the ceremony, as well as matchmakers, marriage certificates, wild geese, wedding cakes and so on.

All the ceremonial guards and objects that can be used in the wedding are used.

This battle was unfolding in Chang'an City, and it didn't look like a concubine's room at all.

The city of Chang'an was boiling, and the people onlookers were longer than the line to greet the relatives. Thousands of people followed Li Qinzai to the outside of Prince Teng's mansion.

Li Qinzai got off his horse, straightened his clothes, and in front of the people watching the excitement in Chang'an City, he loudly said to the closed gate of the palace: "I, Li Qinzai, are marrying Li Yixiu, the daughter of King Teng today. Be a witness."

As soon as the words fell, the gate of Prince Teng's Mansion slowly opened.

Standing in the door, King Teng, dressed in fine clothes, stared at Li Qinzai with complicated eyes. Looking at the huge crowds outside the gate, the endless burden of rituals, and the accompanying officials from the Ministry of Rituals and three matchmakers and six certificates, King Teng's eyes flashed A little bit of relief.

Who would dare to believe that this ostentation is a ceremony for marrying a concubine?
What Li Qinzai said yesterday, really did what he said.

Although her daughter was still a concubine when she married her, a man who disregarded worldly eyes in order to marry his daughter would definitely not be wronged by marrying him.

The last trace of resentment in King Teng's heart finally dissipated.

He accepted the reality and finally made a compromise for his daughter.

Every father will always compromise for his children in his life, time and time again.

It seems that this has become the doomed fate of generations.

Jin Xiang, who was wearing a new attire, was helped out by Xi Niang, and he knelt down and bowed to King Teng side by side with Li Qinzai.

Teng Wangqiang laughed a few times, waved his hands, and gave Li Qinzai some instructions. He watched Jin Xiang enter the sedan chair, Li Qinzai rode on his horse after saluting, and the welcoming procession left in a mighty manner.

At that moment, King Teng seemed to have been drained of all his strength, and his face was much older.

From Prince Teng's Mansion to the Duke's Mansion, once again beating gongs and drums to walk through the streets and alleys, marrying concubines with such great fanfare, Li Qinzai's uniqueness once again opened the eyes of Chang'an subjects.

Although the official wedding ceremony process was not followed, the scene arranged by Li Qinzai has already made Tengwangfu and Jinxiang enough.

After entering the Duke's Mansion, Jin Xiangyi met with Li Ji and Li Siwen and his wife, and the elders smiled and presented valuable gifts.

From this moment on, Jin Xiang officially became Li Qinzai's woman.

The moment I stepped into Li's house, the original oath of "I can't let go even when the sky is struck by lightning" still echoes in my ears.

After meeting his parents-in-law, he was supposed to enter the bridal chamber according to the etiquette, but Li Qinzai changed the etiquette temporarily, and helped Jin Xiang into the carriage, ordered all the parts and went straight to Ganjingzhuang.

There is also a big belly woman in my family. Li Qinzai has been away from home for many days because of Jinxiang's affairs, and if he doesn't go back, the big belly woman will go crazy.

The schedule was very fast, Li Qinzai and Jin Xiang left the city in a hurry after bidding farewell to Li Ji and his parents.

It wasn't until he got out of the gate of Chang'an that Jin Xiang in the carriage let out a long sigh of relief, his expression both excited and a little tired.

The happiness overflowing from the bottom of her heart floated on her stunningly pretty face.

At this moment, she still can't believe that she actually married the person she wanted to marry and could spend the rest of her life with the one she loves. No matter how much she paid, it was worth it.

Quietly opening the curtain of the carriage, Jin Xiang looked at Li Qinzai who was riding a horse outside the carriage, a cynical look flashed across his handsome face from time to time.

Jin Xiang's shy smile made her crazy and fascinated, and she couldn't stop it. It was this familiar face and the interesting soul hidden under the face.

There are too many advantages. In Jinxiang's eyes, Li Qinzai is a treasure. Fortunately, she found this treasure and got it after going through hardships.

Outside the carriage, Li Qinzai also noticed Jin Xiang's shy smile, so he glanced at her: "What's the matter with your proud expression of robbers coming down the mountain and just snatching gold and silver treasures? I was finally won by you, and you plan to hold a celebration banquet?" ?"

Jin Xiang chuckled and poohed again: "It's not serious again."

Li Qinzai snorted: "When you're married, don't you need to hide the expression of returning home with a big victory? Be more reserved, and besides, heh, your best friend Jie'er is still waiting for you in the village."

Jin Xiang couldn't help but feel guilty all of a sudden, and said worriedly: "Jie'er...would she be very sad?"

"Husband was split in half for no reason, and it was you instead. Are you sad?"

Jin Xiang's shoulders slumped, and he said in a low voice: "I... never wanted to rob her, but you made me feel something I shouldn't have, I really can't hold it back..."

Li Qinzai sighed, and said: "Treat her well after you go back, our family doesn't distinguish between wives and concubines, but Jieer's sacrifice is not small, just for this, you should also respect her as a sister, respect her and let her go. "

Jin Xiang said obediently: "I have known her for many years. When we were together in the past, she took care of me like an older sister. She made up her mind on everything."
