Chapter 230 Sharing Worries
"Father, you are not feeling well now, why don't you let me investigate Dou Huaiqiu for you?" Li Chengqian said.
"Chengqian, why are you so concerned about this?" Li Er asked.
"I just want to share your worries for you! Besides, I also hope that Shu'er will have a happy marriage in the future." Li Chengqian said.
Things were not as Li Chengqian said. He actually wanted to take the opportunity to disrupt the marriage between Li Shu and Dou Huaiqiu.
Li Chengqian had only met Dou Huaiqiu a few times in total, and he didn't even know what he looked like. Apart from his good calligraphy, there was really nothing to talk about.
If it weren't for marrying Princess Lanling Li Shu, the history books would not have bothered to write a note about him. Dou Huaiqiu didn't even have a work that could be passed down to future generations. He was really mediocre.
Although the Dou family is the mother's family of Empress Taimu and is related to the Li family, so what? Li Chengqian has a lot of relatives. If you don't have the ability, don't occupy the position and waste resources.
Compared with Dou Huaixiu, Long Zhi is much stronger! Not only is he familiar with military books, he is also capable, and most importantly, he is very loyal.
Therefore, Li Chengqian is more inclined to surrender his sister, Princess Lanling Li Shu, to Long Zhi.
"As a brother, I am very happy that you have this intention, but this matter will not be discussed for the time being. Let's put it aside. I need to recuperate for a period of time, and the military and political affairs of the court will be handed over to you!" Li Er said, he neither agreed nor refused.
"Yes, father!" Li Chengqian said.
The father and son chatted for a while, and then Li Chengqian helped Li Er lie down, and he stood up and said goodbye.
Although Li Shu was not married to Long Zhi smoothly this time, it didn't matter, His Majesty Li Er hadn't betrothed Li Shu to Dou Huaiqiu yet!
He still had a chance to find loopholes, and as long as he was willing to work hard, it would not be difficult to destroy the marriage between the two families.
Fortunately, Xue Wanche's marriage had been settled, and everyone was happy.
Back in the East Palace, Li Chengqian sent someone to invite Xue Wanche to the East Palace.
Xue Wanche took off his shoes outside the palace, walked in wearing socks, saluted to Li Chengqian and said, "Your Highness, your servant Xue Wanche has seen you!"
"No need to be polite! Sit down!" Li Chengqian motioned Xue Wanche to sit down.
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Xue Wanche stood up and sat aside, asking, "What instructions did Your Highness have for me?"
"Do you still remember what I said to you at that time?" Li Chengqian asked.
"When did Your Highness refer to that time?" Xue Wanche asked, not knowing what time Li Chengqian was referring to.
"Before Hou Junji died, when you surrendered to me." Li Chengqian said.
"So Your Highness was referring to that time, I naturally remember it. Your Highness promised me glory, wealth and marrying a princess, but I wonder which princess I can marry." Xue Wanche said excitedly.
Now Xue Wanche is already a general of the Right Guard, and glory and wealth are naturally needless to say, but now he just needs a princess wife!
There is no need to guess that the prince asked him to come, and you know that the prince must have told him and His Majesty Li II about the princess.
"My aunt Princess Danyang, what do you think?" Li Chengqian asked.
"It is my blessing to marry the princess, and I am naturally happy. Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness!" Xue Wanche said.
"Then you must do your best for the Tang Dynasty in the future! As long as you, Xue Wanche, are loyal enough, my Li family will never let you down." Li Chengqian said. "Your Highness, don't
worry! I, Xue Wanche, swear to be loyal to Your Highness until death! I will never have any second thoughts." Xue Wanche said.
Xue Wanche's ability to marry the princess means that he will be connected with the Li Tang royal family from then on. It can be said that one glory is glory, and one loss is loss.
Marriage is one of the best ways to win people's hearts, although not all people who marry into the Li family will be loyal to the Li Tang.
As long as half of these marriage candidates are loyal to the Li family, it will be a huge profit. Even if only 10% of the sons-in-law are loyal to the Li family, it will not be a loss.
Li Chengqian and Xue Wanche chatted for a while, and Xue Wanche got up and left in a hurry.
Xue Wanche is now the general of the Right Guard, which is a high position. Although he swore allegiance to Li Chengqian.
But he was loyal in secret. It was inconvenient for him to have more contact with the East Palace in public, so as not to be criticized. If someone exaggerated and spread it to Li Er's ears.
The consequences will be very serious. Even if Li Er is not in good health now, as long as he is still alive, he will put an end to the collusion between the generals and the princes.
In order to avoid endangering Li Er's throne. After all, he knew very well what he relied on to ascend the throne of the emperor, and naturally did not want his son to follow his old path.
Therefore, Li Er was very cautious in this regard.
After solving Xue Wanche's marriage problem, the next thing to do was to solve the problem between Long Zhi and Princess Lanling.
From Li Er's tone, Li Chengqian could hear that Li Er was very fond of Dou Huaixiu, and the two families were relatives.
Compared with Dou Huaixiu and Long Zhi, Dou Huaixiu naturally satisfied Li Er more.
However, there is room for maneuver. It depends on how the prince handles it!
But this matter cannot be rushed! After all, Li Er is always watching him. If he blatantly makes small moves, what will happen if he is discovered!
So this matter must be considered in the long run! There is always a foolproof plan!
It is better to call him to the East Palace, take a look first, and understand it first.
Sun Tzu's Art of War: Know yourself and know the enemy, and you will never be in danger in a hundred battles!
Only by finding out Dou Huaiqiu's background can you come up with a countermeasure to deal with him.
For the sake of his confidant and beloved general, the prince is also very desperate.
Of course, it is necessary to send someone to sound out sister Li Shu to find out what she is thinking.
As for the candidate to sound out Li Shu! Li Chengqian already has a suitable person in mind, and it will not arouse other people's suspicion.
"Come here!" Li Chengqian shouted, and his voice echoed in the empty hall.
There was the sound of footsteps rubbing against the ground. Wang Quan heard Li Chengqian's call and immediately trotted over.
"My lord, what do you want me to do?"
"What time is it now?" Li Chengqian asked.
"My lord! It's almost noon! Are you hungry? I'll order someone to prepare food!" Wang Quan thought Li Chengqian was hungry! "
Come back, what's the connection? It's not even noon yet and you're already thinking about eating. Do you have anything else to do?" Li Chengqian waved to Wang Quan.
Wang Quan stepped forward and said, "My main job is to serve the master well and do good things for the master. The rest is nothing to me."
"You are good at talking. Don't you think you are annoying?" Li Chengqian said.
"Sir, calm down! If you don't want me to talk too much, I won't say a word in the future." Wang Quan thought Li Chengqian was blaming him for talking too much, and he knelt on the ground in fear.
"Get up! I don't mean to blame you. Prepare an extra lunch and let Xiao Liangdi come to eat with me." Li Chengqian said.
"Yes!" Wang Quan stood up and said, "My lord and Liangdi are really a loving couple. I don't know how many people envy them."
"I told you to go, why don't you go quickly! What nonsense!" Li Chengqian said.
"I'll go now!" Wang Quan said and left in a hurry.
