People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 545 Dowry, look at the dowry

As the sun was setting, the red lanterns had already been lit on both sides of the vermilion gate. There were big red happy characters pasted on the door, and the red wedding cloth was hung horizontally under the door plaque, blowing gently in the wind, giving a sense of joy.

Li Xuan wore a gown with a moon-white mottled pattern, standing under the middle door of Prince Peng's mansion, looking towards the left side of the long street from time to time.

The government office of Lecheng County is in Yongxingfang, on the east side of the imperial palace, and Prince Peng’s mansion is in Kaihuafang, not too far away.

Li Xuan calculated the time in his mind, and according to the schedule, it was time for Qin Jun and those guys to carry the dowry out of the Lecheng County Government House.

Involuntarily, a trace of anxiety appeared on Li Xuan's face.

"I'm impatient." Han Wang Li Yuanjia, who was standing aside, seemed to have heard the movement, turned around, and looked at Li Xuan with a mocking face.

Li Xuan cupped his hands with a wry smile on his face: "Uncle Wang!"

"Everyone will go through this." Han Wang Li Yuanjia turned serious, and said earnestly: "27 Lang, after tomorrow, you are going to set up a household, be more cautious, and when you do things, think about it. Mother and wife and children."

Li Xuan looked solemn, and immediately bowed solemnly: "Thank you Uncle Wang for your teaching, my nephew has noted it down."

Although Li Xuan's trip to Wuzhou was well done, there were many aspects that made people criticize.

For example, he always rushes to the front line of the battlefield, even if his identity as the county king is not mentioned, he is also a commander.

If there is an emergency on the battlefield, the consequences will be unimaginable.

After he returned to Chang'an, although no one said these words to him, Li Xuan knew that many people thought so.

In case one day on the battlefield where the army is criss-crossed, the enemy army concentrates their masters to kill him, then not only will he die, but his family and countless soldiers will also be implicated.

How could it be possible that Li Xuan didn't understand this truth, it's just that they had few major generals at the beginning, and secondly, he might not have the chance to lead the army in battle again, it's just fun.

In the future, even if others don't talk about such things, he will not do it easily again.

After all, after getting married, there is an old mother on top, and a wife and children on the bottom. It is true that as King Han said, people should calm down.

Seeing that Li Xuan had written it down seriously, Li Yuanjia smiled in satisfaction and said, "Remember to get up early at five o'clock tomorrow."

"Here!" Li Xuan immediately clapped her hands in agreement.

……

At this time, there was a burst of gongs and drums in front of him, and the noise followed closely.

The whole Kaihua workshop immediately became beaming.

Li Xuan looked up, and saw that in the brazier not far in front of him, one after another firecrackers had been ignited, making crackling noises.

Immediately afterwards, eighteen sergeants in red clothes and gold armor and red silk on tall horses led the way, followed by Li Na, son of King Han, Li Xu, son of King Huo, Lai Sui, Lai Qian, Zhuge Minghui, He Zhizhang and a group of students.

In the end, there were 96 porters carrying the dowry, marching from the square gate to Peng Wang's mansion.

I don't know how many people looked enviously on the street.

The middle door opened, and a total of 96 dowries were sent into the palace one by one.

Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, bowed slightly to all the people who came at the door, and followed Han Wang Li Yuanjia back to the palace.

In the front hall, 96 dowries were placed in the center of the nave.

First, there are 24 loads of various furniture, tables and cabinets made of high-quality rosewood, rosewood and nanmu, placed on top.

Then, there are 24 quilts, quilts and pillows, curtains, curtains, clothes for the four seasons, silk and satin, and so on.

After that, there are 24 sets of various festive and auspicious hanging decorations, head and face jewelry, rouge gouache, etc. in the big red box.

In the end, there were 24 gold and silver porcelains, jewelry, calligraphy and paintings, etc., all of which were unfolded in front of everyone.

Among them are a mansion in the south of Luoyang City, a farmland outside Luoyang City, ten small households, two industrial shops in Luoyang City, five dowry maids and so on.

Every time a box of dowry was placed on the ground, the stewards of Liu's Mansion and Prince Peng's Mansion, who were holding the list of dowry and chanting, immediately spoke loudly at the same time. A total of 96 liters of dowry were unfolded in front of everyone.

This is called looking at the dowry, so that the man's family members dare not underestimate the woman.

At the beginning, the betrothal gift from Nanchang Prince's Mansion was sent to the Lecheng County Government's mansion, and they were treated in the same way.

All are opened in front of people, so that the relatives of the woman dare not underestimate the strength and background of the man.

Li Xuan noticed the expressions of satisfaction and envy on the faces of relatives and friends around her, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

Left Prime Minister Liu Rengui is honest and upright. Although the Wei family and Liu family are descendants of Hanzhang Emperor Liu Da, Liu Rengui grew up in a poor family. Later, when he became an official, he often had feuds with Prime Minister Li Yifu. Although he also had land and shops in his family, most of them came from the central government. reward.

Although three of Liu Rengui's sons and nephews were entrusted with the Zhu Kingdom after the Battle of Baijiangkou, there were not many who really achieved success. Now, it is really surprising that the Liu family can get so much dowry. This is the best effort.

But no one doubted what Liu Rengui was like, he was well known in the government and the public, and there were many truths in the dowry.

Anyone who knows the inside story knows that there is no need to delve into it.

Some of these dowries were to be sent to the treasury, and some were to be sent to the east courtyard of the fourth entrance courtyard, where they were carefully placed in the simply furnished east courtyard.

The east courtyard is where Li Xuan's new house is located.

Although it was cleaned up before, it was not arranged much, and they were all waiting for the woman's dowry.

Once the woman's dowry arrives, within a few hours, the new house will be completely arranged.

After Li Xuan just took a look, she was rushed out.

Under the wedding shed in the main courtyard, a banquet has already been set up to entertain all relatives and friends.

……

Standing under the lantern, Li Xuan sent Zhou Gan and Su Bao away with a group of people who had drunk the last drink. Seeing them disappear under the gate of the workshop, Li Xuan couldn't help but shook his head amusedly.

But immediately, his expression became a little ponderous, so many people are still missing one.

Qiu Zhenmu.

Li Xuan's butler, Zhou Sheng, sent the invitation to Qiu's house, but he couldn't see anyone from Qiu Zhenmu.

Although Qiu Shenji is also from the Qiu family, his "whereabouts are unknown" now, and no matter what, it is a matter of the Tianshui County Government, and has nothing to do with the Meicheng County Government.

Why did Li Xuan feel that Qiu Zhenmu was being imprisoned.

What exactly does Ming Chongyan want to do?
Just about to turn around and go back to the mansion, Li Xuan's footsteps suddenly stopped, because a few dozen meters away, there was a brown carriage parked on the diagonally opposite side of the street, in front of King Shu's mansion.

One eye was retracted the moment Li Xuan looked over.

[Ashi Nayun, the lord of Jianchang County, the only daughter of Zuo Xiaowei Zhonglang general Ashina, so Youwei Zhonglang general Ashina He Luohu granddaughter, so Youwei General, Beiping County King, Great-granddaughter of Tuli Khan]

Hey, why did they appear here today?

Li Xuan's brows immediately frowned, but before he could think about it, the carriage had already turned its horse's head and headed towards the gate of the workshop. The speed was normal, just like the guests leaving normally.

If she didn't know that the one inside was Tuli Khan's great-granddaughter, Li Xuan would definitely think so too.

But this time, it was the second time he had seen the Jianchang county lord, and if there was nothing strange, he would have seen a ghost.

Moreover, if he remembered correctly, he will be married tomorrow, and General Zuo Xiaowei Zhonglang will come to celebrate his wedding.

Li Xuan took a deep breath and begged. Originally, he only wanted to hold a quiet wedding this time, and marry his third mother Liu Jinyu into the door, but now someone wants to make a fuss about this matter, and the anger in Li Xuan's heart suddenly boiled up.

As soon as he turned around, Li Xuan's face darkened immediately after he didn't know what he thought of: "Let Li Bi and Yu Xiuzhuan come to the study, and the mansion will be more vigilant from now on... No, loosen the outside and tighten the inside. Everyone has to confirm their movements."

"Here!"

……

Yu Ze shook his head vigorously, took a few deep breaths, as if he wanted to spit out all the alcohol in his body.

Standing in front of the study door, Yu Ze looked back, under the bright moon, the breeze was blowing.

But Yu Ze faintly felt that several eyes fell on him at the same time.

Yu Ze frowned, quickly returned to his thoughts, and pushed open the door.

In the study room, a figure was facing away from him, looking for books on the bookshelf, and the table on one side was already full of books.

"Your Majesty." Yu Ze bowed his hands solemnly to Li Xuan, and then asked, "But something happened?"

"En!" Li Xuan turned around, took the Western Turkic book in his hand back to the table, then motioned Yu Ze to sit down on the right, and pushed a cup of cold tea on the table in front of Yu Ze, Li Xuan asked casually : "Uncle Yu, how much do you know about Turks?"

"There are a lot of things about Turkic, I don't know what the king wants to ask?" Yu Ze poured cold tea directly into his stomach, and a gust of alcohol immediately rose up. He quickly turned his head and spit out all the alcohol. Sober up a lot.

"How many Turkic relatives are serving in our dynasty?" Li Xuan put down the book in his hand.

"There are quite a few." Yu Ze pondered for a while, and said: "General Ashina Daozhen of the Right Guard, General Ashina Huseruo of the Left Guard, Ashina Nishuzhuo, General of the Zuo Xiaowei Zhonglang, Right Guard Zhonglang General Ashina Gana, Imperial Servant Shi Yu, and other Turkic relatives, but the most important are these five, they are all Ashina royal family."

Ashina Daozhen, general of Youtunwei, grandson of Luo Khan in the Turkic region.

Ashina Huseruo, general of the left guard, son of Khan who succeeded the Western Turks.

Ashina Nishugen, Zuo Xiaowei Zhonglang General, grandson of Tuli Khan.

Ashina Gana, General of Right Guard Zhonglang, grandson of Jieli Khan.

Shi Hao, Tai Puqing, a descendant of Turkic Qimin Khan.

"Your Majesty, you should know that although the Turks are divided into Eastern and Western Turks, the Eastern Turks have always been the ancestral temple. The Qimin Khan, the Chuluo Khan, and the Shibi Khan have been around for a long time. What really deserves attention is the pair of Jieli and Tuli. My uncles and nephews, they were in charge of the eastern and western parts of the Eastern Turks, and then they were wiped out by our dynasty, and their direct descendants were also moved to our dynasty. Ashina Nishugen and Ashina Gana both grew up in the Central Plains. "

Yu Ze simply put the focus on Ashina Nishuzo and Ashina Gana.

Li Xuan immediately pushed the book in his hand aside, then looked at Yu Ze and asked, "Uncle Yu, you should remember that after the death of Emperor Xiao Jing, the East Turkic tribes were uneasy, and His Majesty dispatched the king of Pingyang County to go north. "

"Of course, as soon as the Duke of Pingyang arrived in Yunzhong, Dingxiang, the Turkic tribes immediately settled down." Yu Ze's face suddenly showed admiration.

Xue Rengui, the king of Pingyang County, has a reputation for killing with a blade.
