Chapter 220 Blind Date

"Of course! As long as you want, you can live in Chang'an forever." Li Chengqian said with a smile.

Dumozhi stayed in Chang'an to serve as an official in the court. His nature is similar to that of a hostage, but also different.

By leaving him in Chang'an, Dumozhi can learn a lot of new knowledge. Over time, his heart will be more inclined towards the Tang Dynasty. One day, he will even regard himself as a Tang Dynasty person.

Simply put, it is to brainwash Dumozhi and make him eventually become a loyal minion of the Tang Dynasty and a die-hard fan of the Li Tang Dynasty.

Li Tang is very experienced in this regard. As for the effect! That depends on the individual!

"Thank you, Your Highness! I, Dumozhi, am willing to do my best for the Tang Dynasty." Dumozhi stood up and saluted.

Since there is no way to restore the Xueyantuo Khanate, he might as well stay in Chang'an and learn the advanced culture and technology of the Tang Dynasty. This may improve the lives of the Xueyantuo people. He

certainly can't go back to Mobei. The Uighurs, Pugu, Tongluo and other tribes hate the Xueyantuo to the core. Even if they can return to Mobei, there is no place for them to live and work in peace.

In this case, it is better to stay in the Tang Dynasty and lead his people to settle down in the Tang Dynasty.

"Duomozhi, the decree of the Khan of Heaven! You are appointed as the general of the Right Guard." Li Chengqian waited for Li Er to convey the decree and officially appointed Duomozhi.

"Thank you, Khan of Heaven!" Duomozhi paid a great tribute.

Li Chengqian asked Duomozhi to stand up, and the two had another conversation before Duomozhi left the East Palace.

One day, Li Chengqian had just finished reviewing the memorials and asked Wang Quan to hand them over to the government offices for processing. In addition, there were memorials that needed to be reviewed by Li Er himself.

Li Chengqian asked Wang Quan to deliver them to the Liangyi Hall. Li Er had been working in the Liangyi Hall recently, so he asked people to deliver all the documents that needed to be handled by him personally to the Liangyi Hall.

"My lord! The imperial son-in-law Du He and the governor of Yangzhou Zhao Jie want to see you!" Wang Quan came to Li Chengqian and reported.

"Let them in!" Li Chengqian said.

"Yes!" Wang Quan took the order and left.

"Your Highness!" Du He and Zhao Jie saluted Li Chengqian.

"No need to be polite! Please take a seat!" Li Chengqian said with a smile, "It's been a while since I returned to the capital. You rarely come to my place. You used to come to my place often. What have you been busy with recently?"

It's been a while since Li Chengqian returned to the capital. Except for the first time he returned to Chang'an and met them once, he rarely saw them at other times.

If it were in the past, they would basically have a small gathering every three days and a big gathering every five days.

"Your Highness, you don't know what's wrong with Du He recently. He and Princess Chengyang are in love and have no time to care about us." Zhao Jie sat down and said. There

was a hint of sourness in his tone.

"Hahaha!" Li Chengqian laughed loudly, "I think you are jealous and can't stand seeing the loving relationship between young couples."

"Zhao Jie, I think you are not a child anymore! It's time for you to find a wife! I will let your aunt worry about you later."

"Your Highness! Don't!" Zhao Jie said with a tearful face, leaning forward. He realized that he had lost control and corrected himself.

Li Chengqian wondered what happened to Zhao Jie? They had joked with Zhao Jie about this before, but he never reacted so strongly.

Du He saw Li Chengqian's confusion and said with a smile: "Your Highness! You have been busy with government affairs and don't know anything about Zhao Jie. During this period, Princess Changguang and

Prime Minister Yang have been running around for Zhao Jie's life." "They even want to take him to meet the girl's parents, hoping to find a good marriage for Zhao Jie. Princess Changguang and her husband are very concerned about this matter and almost asked His Majesty for help."

"Oh! So that's the case! I was wondering why you haven't come to my East Palace recently. It turns out that you went on a blind date! No wonder!" Li Chengqian said with a smile.

In ancient times, people always followed the orders of their parents, the words of the matchmaker, and three letters and six betrothals to choose a family of equal status to marry.

They never paid attention to the other person's appearance. As long as the couple's family backgrounds were equal and their horoscopes were suitable, and both parents had no objections, they would allow their children to get married.

As for whether it was free love, such a concept did not exist in ancient times! As for feelings! They can be cultivated slowly. There is a saying that love grows over time!

After a long time, there will be all kinds of feelings. Look at the debate between Princess Gaoyang and the monk, isn't it the best example?

"Your Highness! Don't make fun of me anymore. I'm very upset!" Zhao Jie said.

If someone else had said this to Zhao Jie, Zhao Jie would have turned against them long ago, but the person who said this to him was Li Chengqian.

"What's the big deal? Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. You are not young anymore! It's time to start a family!" Du He said.

"You..." Zhao Jie glared at Du He. He had not been wild enough, so he did not want to find a wife in such a hurry.

"Okay! Let's not discuss this. Zhao Jie knows it in his heart. It is rare for the three of us to get together today. I want to drink with you." Li Chengqian said with a smile.

"Your Highness! I am afraid it is not possible today. I have already told the princess! I want to go out with you today and leave in the afternoon." Du He refused the invitation of the prince. "

Okay! Since Chengyang wants you to accompany him, I will not say anything, so as not to be accused of breaking up your loving couple." Li Chengqian said.

Li Chengqian was really happy for Du He and his wife to be in harmony.

Li Chengqian looked at Zhao Jie and asked, "Zhao Jie, what about you?"

"Your Highness! I have to go with my mother to visit the ministers in the court, so I'm afraid I can't drink with Your Highness!" Zhao Jie said.

"It's okay. We can't drink this time, but there will be another time!" Li Chengqian said, "But then again, you are all so busy, how can you have time to come to my East Palace!"

"Your Highness! I heard that the Uighurs, Pugu, Tongluo and other foreign tribes sent envoys to Chang'an to meet Your Majesty!" Du He said.

"That's right! It's true. In just two days, their envoys will arrive in Chang'an, meet my father, and ask to return to our Tang Dynasty." Li Chengqian said that he had seen the memorials about this a long time ago.

Li Chengqian had already ordered people to hand over these relevant memorials to Li Er.

This is not a secret, nor is it something that cannot be told to others. Du He and Zhao Jie are Li Chengqian's confidants,

so it's okay to tell them this. "Why? Is there something wrong?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Nothing wrong! I just heard such good news and was happy for a while, but I was afraid it was a rumor, so I came to ask Your Highness!" Du He said.

He just heard it from others. This person likes to brag a lot, so Du He was worried that it was just a rumor.

So he thought of asking Li Chengqian to verify it. After all, as the crown prince, he should know about such a big thing.

As for Zhao Jie, Du He just happened to meet him on the road, so he was brought here by Du He.
