Li Xiuzhu came out of the palace with his brows furrowed.
Go back one hour in time.
"So what does your majesty want me to do?"
"I want you to capture Li Dan when the signal sounds."
Li Xiuzhu paused when he heard this. Did His Majesty know that I know martial arts? Li Xiuzhu didn't want to admit it, so he was silent for a while before saying, "But Your Majesty, I am alone."
Li Kuo immediately smiled.
"Who said there is only one Prince Consort? The sixteen guards of Kyoto you brought back are still under your command."
As he spoke, Li Kuo looked at Wang Defa, and Wang Defa hurriedly handed the tiger talisman that he had prepared long ago to Li Xiuzhu.
Li Xiuzhu was startled. It turned out that someone was waiting for him here.
After thinking for a while, Li Xiuzhu took the tiger talisman and said, "Your Majesty, please have someone show me the hunting records of previous years, as well as General Li Dan's military habits."
Hearing Li Xiuzhu being so cautious, Li Kuo was not angry but felt very happy instead.
"Okay! It will be sent to your house later along with the reward."
The above is what happened in the Imperial Study. Li Xiuzhu was speechless and felt cheated, but he was powerless to resist.
Regardless of whether the other party is his father-in-law or not, he can only choose one side.
Li Xiuzhu did not ask who his opponent was. He did this to reassure Li Kuo so that there would be no possibility for Li Xiuzhu to surrender to the enemy.
But even so, he still had some guesses.
Now several princes are away from home, and there is only one prince in the capital, who is Li Kuo's younger brother. He is a second-generation rich man who likes to eat, drink and have fun, so it is basically impossible for him to rebel.
Then the only ones left are the princes. The fourth one died, the second one died early, and the remaining princes of marriageable age are the eldest, the third and the fifth.
The prince is the heir to the throne, so logically speaking this is unnecessary.
But the third prince is humble and kind, and the fifth prince just came of age last year.
If the third brother didn't act again, then he would most likely be the least likely prince.
Throughout history, there have been many cases of crown princes rebelling. Didn’t Li Chengqian, Liu Ju, and Li Chongjun also rebel?
And there are definitely more than just these three princes who are plotting rebellion.
Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that it was the third brother. Prince Wenxu and the kindhearted ones have always been difficult to deal with.
Li Xiuzhu thought about the possibility of the enemy and the chances of winning, and then returned home.
The house he returned to this time was the Li Mansion, which was the house rewarded by Li Kuo. He had moved in with his people early this morning.
Although it is not as lively as the Fu Mansion, it is my home after all, and I will move here sooner or later.
"master!"
"Yes!" Li Xiuzhu calmed down and said, "Go and ask the ladies to come to the garden to enjoy the flowers."
"yes!"
Appreciating the flowers is secondary; the main purpose is for the women to get to know each other.
Three days passed in a flash.
Li Xiuzhu saw the reward and files on the day he returned home, but he did not rush to deal with the files. Instead, he played with the ladies for two days.
On the fourth day, I got up before dawn according to Fu Yuehua's arrangement.
Today is his wedding day, and since he is marrying a princess, who is also his concubine, a grand ceremony is needed.
The cleanup took me till dawn.
After putting on the bright red wedding dress and riding on a tall horse out the door, Li Xiuzhu suddenly smiled amusedly.
Who would have believed that a son-in-law could marry and have so many concubines.
It was really a fart start but he turned the game into a complete mess.
Li Xiuzhu rode his horse to the gate of the imperial city, picked up the two brides Hua Jiao, then turned around and started to tour the city.
The difference from the last time he married Fu Yuehua was that this time he toured the city not once, but three times.
Twenty miles of red makeup nearly occupies one-third of the capital city, and this is if I follow the route of a snake. If I take a square route, I'm afraid I will have to surround the capital city.
Looking around, the capital city was filled with joy and red lanterns were hung high.
Merchants and travelers coming into the city were confused as they had no idea what happy occasion it was.
The grandeur of this wedding was the largest in the Great Zhou Dynasty. After all, it was a wedding of two princesses, one of whom was His Majesty's favorite daughter.
But since they are getting married at the same time, we cannot favor one over the other and cause criticism.
In addition to the Silla incident, Li Kuo felt guilty, so he went out with a twenty-mile red dress.
Moreover, the value of the bride price is far more than that of marrying off to wealthy people or generals.
Li Xiuzhu never thought that even with his strength as a first-class master, marrying a wife would be tiring.
He set out at 9:00 p.m. and returned at 0:00 p.m. The time he spent circling the capital city three times could not be more or less, and he had to keep a smile on his face. Apart from anything else, the muscles on his face were almost stiff from walking all the way.
As for being hungry, that’s not a big deal. Skipping a meal is not a big problem for him.
After this experience, he felt that he had a unique fear of marriage.
But this is the only time. Even if he marries another princess in the future, as long as his three wives are still alive, he will not follow such specifications.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
By the time we returned home and completed the ceremony, it was already dusk, and after worshiping heaven and earth, there was a banquet.
Li Xiuzhu was in the limelight today; even officials who were usually at odds with him had to be present.
The threshold was almost broken down by the merchants coming to give gifts, and from time to time one could hear lists of gifts being presented and calls for acceptance coming from the door.
Jade cabbage, gold, silver and jade cups, etc., none of the items on the gift list are separate, they are all arranged by page.
However, there are only two or three valuable items on the gift list.
Li Xiuzhu felt that according to conservative estimates, he could earn at least two million taels from getting married.
Even if you exclude the princess's dowry, it would still be worth millions.
After toasting the court officials, Li Xiuzhu pretended to be drunk and returned to the bridal chamber.
The first place they went to was Li Liuli's room. As Li Liuli was the legitimate princess, even her elder sister had to give way to her.
Li Xiuzhu stopped pretending as soon as he entered. He breathed a sigh of relief and walked forward to lift up Li Liuli's red veil.
The next second, Li Liuli, wearing a phoenix crown and bridal robe, with red lips and white teeth, and blinking her big eyes, appeared in front of Li Xiuzhu.
Li Liuli's beauty is rare in the world, especially today when she is dressed up carefully and wearing a bridal gown.
Even Li Xiuzhu, who was used to seeing peerless beauties, couldn't help but be stunned.
Then he smiled, thinking that such a peerless beauty should be his.
Li Xiuzhu stepped forward and lifted Li Liuli's chin. Li Liuli was not shy or afraid and looked at Li Xiuzhu steadily.
In the end, I married her. Although my feelings were complicated, there was no bitterness at all.
She even couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation for the future.
Looking at the beauty in front of him and her big red lips, Li Xiuzhu couldn't help but give her a kiss.
Just when Li Liuli was startled and was about to remind Li Xiuzhu that he had not drunk the wedding wine yet, Li Xiuzhu had already let go of Li Liuli.
"Liuli, you are so beautiful today!"
Li Liuli tilted her head and said proudly, "Why? Only beautiful today? Wasn't I beautiful in the past?"
Looking at the little arrogant girl in front of him, Li Xiuzhu smiled immediately.
"Mei, otherwise I wouldn't have held on to you even though I knew you didn't like me at the beginning."
"Hmph, I'm glad you know that. You have to be nicer to me in the future."
Li Liuli suddenly thought about it and continued: "You don't have to be especially nice to me, but you can't be worse than others. At least you have to treat me equally."
"Okay, are you hungry? How about we eat something first?"
Li Liuli was startled when he heard this.
"You didn't eat?"
"Yeah, I don't have time to eat. Apart from breakfast, I drank a lot of wine."
After Li Xiuzhu finished speaking, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
