Datang: What's wrong with my fief being a billion points larger?

Chapter 100 Yang Qingwan is the matchmaker, Li Shimin’s Concubine Wei?

Li Yuanji looked at Yang Cheng. Although he looked unstable, he was after all a talented man who was well-read in poetry, books and policy essays. Compared with the people here, it would not be an exaggeration to describe him as the top scholar in literature.

Yang Cheng was full of excitement.

"Your Majesty, this journey has been quite pleasant. We have been walking and stopping along the way, reciting poems and composing couplets. It is like traveling around the mountains and rivers.

However, the closer we got to the south, the more we witnessed rise and fall along the way. Places closer to Lingnan were actually not much better than Lingnan. On the contrary, entering Lingnan gave us a different feeling. Every place we passed seemed to be bustling with activity.

Especially when we came to Haikang, I was shocked to see that you, my brother-in-law, did not build city walls. We had never seen a city without city walls before. It was not so bad, especially when we entered the city. I have never seen such harmony between officials and civilians, and between the military and civilians anywhere else.

Looking at the houses, streets, and people coming and going in the city, I didn't feel like I had come to Lingnan at all. It was more like I had come to an unknown big city. We were all shocked.

I was just asking my sister, but she said she didn’t know either, and went downstairs to ask someone to prepare food for us.

By the way, brother-in-law, let me introduce you to my good friend, Wei Ye, also known by his courtesy name Sizhe.

"Sizhe, come and meet the king."

This young man named Wei Ye looked to be about the same age as Yang Chen, but he looked much more gentle and refined.

"I am Wei Sizhe, here to see the king."

Li Yuanji was stunned for a moment. No, he looked so gentle and refined, but now he was told that he was a stutterer???

Yang Cheng on the side immediately interjected.

"Brother-in-law, Sizhe is not stuttering, he is just a little nervous. Whenever he is nervous, he speaks like this."

Yang Cheng looked embarrassed, and Li Yuanji soon breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sizhe, right? Hurry up and get up. You are Yuanlin's good friend, and in my eyes, you are also a younger brother. When you come here, just treat this place as your home. Don't be restrained. Just act like you normally would."

Li Yuanji looked at Wei Sizhe and became more and more satisfied. After all, Wei Sizhe looked steady and steady. Judging from his appearance, Wei Sizhe was far better than Yang Cheng.

Wei Sizhe said excitedly: "Thank you, my king."

Li Yuanji pulled the two of them to sit down, and then asked Wei Ye.

"Sizhe, you are from the Jingzhao Wei family? Why did you follow Yuanlin here?"

Li Yuanji was very confused. He really couldn't figure it out. Yang Cheng came over and Yang Qingwan told him about it, but what was Wei Ye doing here? He and Wei really had no intersection.

Even if Wei wants to invest, there are two people in Chang'an who have more hope than him. Now that he has come to Lingnan, it is impossible for them to find him.

Wei Ye's face turned slightly red, and she didn't know what to say for a moment. Just as Yang Cheng was about to speak, Yang Qingwan's voice came.

"Husband, you said that you treat Sizhe as your younger brother. As a younger brother, why can't he come?" Li Yuanji choked when he heard this. These words were obviously meant to appease Wei Ye. He didn't believe that Yang Qingwan couldn't hear it.

Afterwards, Yang Qingwan called everyone else who had been brought down to eat. There were only four of them left, and Yang Qingwan continued to speak.

"Yuanlin, Sizhe, why didn't you bring the people I asked you to bring here? Tell me the reason."

When Wei Ye heard this, his face suddenly turned bitter.

"Cousin, we had originally agreed on this, but my second uncle and his family disagreed. Father had no choice but to let my eldest sister stay in Chang'an for the time being and come back when there is an opportunity."

Wei Ye did not stutter at this moment and spoke very fluently. Yang Qingwan's expression darkened when she heard his words and she did not say anything else.

"Okay, you guys go eat too, and have a good rest after eating. The king will assign you tasks later, so you must do them well."

The two of them went down immediately, but Li Yuanji was already in a state of panic. Wei Ye actually called Yang Qingwan cousin? Doesn't that mean he is Wei Ye's cousin-in-law?
Li Yuanji couldn't understand why he suddenly had a relative of the Wei family?
And from what Wei Ye said just now, he was going to bring someone else, and that person was a woman, but she didn't come. Li Yuanji could tell that Yang Qingwan asked the two of them to bring this person along, but she didn't come.

Li Yuanji looked at Yang Qingwan in confusion. At this moment, he really wanted an explanation. Even though she was his woman, it was a bit too much to hide everything from him.

Yang Qingwan looked at Li Yuanji's expression and held her forehead with her hand helplessly, which made Li Yuanji even more confused.

"My dear husband, you should know that Sizhe's father, Wei Yuancheng, is our uncle, and my aunt was married to Wei Yuancheng.

My uncle's lineage comes from the Xun Gong family, but the Xun Gong family also has three branches, or four branches to be precise. It's just that the founding earl's lineage has faded out and has no descendants now.

My uncle is from the lineage of the Duke of Henan, the Xun family. Because of my aunt, my uncle is naturally close to you, the king. No one in the Wei family has chosen the King of Qin now. The prince's side is from another branch, and Wei Ting from the lineage of the Marquis of Yifeng County is there.

My uncle just happened to have a daughter named Gui, who was Sizhe's eldest sister. Although Wei Gui was married to Li Min, Li Min and his son followed Yang Xuangan in an uprising, but were defeated and killed. Wei Gui had no children and was alone at home. In addition, there was a natural relationship between the king and my uncle, so I wanted to strengthen the relationship between the two families.

When the time comes, the king will marry Wei Gui into the palace. Wei Gui and I are sisters, so we are already familiar with each other and don’t have to worry about anything else. The king will also have the help of the Wei family’s Xun Gongfang. Whether the king uses her or not in the future, at least he will not be alone. "

Li Yuanji was shocked beyond words after listening to Yang Qingwan's words. At this moment, he suddenly realized that when it came to playing politics, Yang Qingwan seemed to be ten blocks ahead of him. No, a hundred blocks ahead of him.

It can be said that he had never thought about what Yang Qingwan had done, but Yang Qingwan had thought of it for him and was helping him do it. Once successful, Yang Qingwan's branch of the Yang family and the Xun Gong branch of the Wei family would become helpers to him, Li Yuanji.

No matter what happens in the future, at least he will not be alone, and he has the support of two major families. Even if he is in Lingnan, he can get a lot of help.

At this moment, even when Li Yuanji heard Yang Qingwan planning for him to marry Li Shimin's Concubine Wei, he did not show any joy or happiness. In his opinion, she was just a woman, and not yet Li Shimin's Concubine Wei.

What Li Yuanji remained silent about was his connections with the aristocratic families, the handling of relationships, and his awareness. Not to mention Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, he could not even compare to Yang Qingwan in front of him. He relied on Yang Qingwan to help him with all these things.

He was truly deeply moved by Yang Qingwan. Their marriage was originally designated by Li Yuan, and there were indeed political reasons for it, but from the moment they set out for Lingnan, it had gradually become a pure relationship.
