The Strongest Imperial Grandson of the Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 16 Prince Tuyuhun proposes marriage



"The food is ready. Let's take a seat first."

Seeing Li Tai's arrogant look, Li Xiang was about to reply to him, but unexpectedly, Changsun Pingting spoke.

Changsun Wuji understood that if he wanted his uncle and nephew to fight, they would probably have to stand here for half an hour. There were so many servants coming and going in the house, and it would not look good if they fought, so he gave his daughter a wink.

The host's face must be given, not to mention that Changsun Pingting, the cousin, is not an ordinary person. She can almost be said to be half of the Changsun family's brain trust, and she is a target to win over.

snort……

The uncle and nephew snorted coldly, looking at each other displeased, but they still followed Zhang Sun Wuji in.

The eldest grandson Pingting sees all this, and the fiercer the fight, the more benefits our eldest grandson family will get.

The eldest grandson Pingting knew Li Tai, but she didn't know much about Li Xiang, especially the gift she had just given to her. It could definitely be said to be a treasure handed down from generation to generation. Where did this kid get it from?

The last time I saw this kid was at a family banquet in the palace a few years ago. He had grown so tall in the blink of an eye, and he was so well-mannered that none of these dragons and grandsons could save money.

After entering the front hall, Changsun Wuji naturally sat in the main seat.

Wei Wang Li Tai is a one-word prince. He was the most popular candidate for the crown prince before and was also Li Shimin's favorite prince, so he sat on the right.

"How can this be done? When we come to our house to have dinner, we just want to talk about family etiquette. My cousins ​​and cousins, please take a seat. I can just sit here."

The seat on the left should belong to Li Xiang. After all, Li Xiang is the second-character prince of the county and the eldest grandson of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. He deserves to sit in this position. If it were the emperor's grandson, Li Tai would not be able to sit in front of him. But this guy is better at doing things, so he couldn't help but sit in the lowest position.

Changsun Chong and Changsun Pingting kept persuading, and they were beautiful in their hearts. Although they were the top nobles in the Tang Dynasty, their status was still inferior to the royal children. Now Li Xiang can give them such a big face. , both of them also remembered it in their hearts.

Little bastard!

Wei King Li Tai cursed in his heart. When he ate here before, except for his uncle Changsun Wuji, he treated everyone else as his servants. He never thought of being polite to anyone, and he didn't think it was a mistake. .

Now seeing the smiles on the faces of Chang Sun Chong and Chang Sun Pingting, this guy realizes how wrong he was before.

"Today is a family dinner. You all can go down and I'll pour the wine."

When Li Xiang saw the maid bringing the wine, he immediately grabbed the jug and prepared to pour wine for Changsun Wuji.

"How can this be possible? Your Highness said a few words of courtesy, but you are so presumptuous."

Changsun Pingting glared at several servants.

"Cousin, don't be upset. The younger generation pours wine for the elders. This is Confucius and Mencius etiquette. What's more, it's not that convenient for us to chat with them here. Let's just let them go down. It's just for my nephew to run more errands."

As Li Xiang spoke, he poured wine for several people, including Li Tai, who also had a full glass.

It is no small matter that His Highness the Emperor Sun poured the wine himself, but it is understandable that Li Xiang introduced the etiquette of Confucius and Mencius.

The Tang Dynasty also respected Confucian education, and respecting the elders and caring for the young was also a Confucian and Mencius thought. What's more, the relatives of these people present were relatively close, which indeed instantly dissipated everyone's sense of strangeness.

The three people in Changsun's family were very familiar with Li Tai, but not so familiar with Li Xiang. After all, Li Xiang had only appeared in person a few days ago, so he made up for his shortcomings with each of his actions.

Changsun Pingting wanted to say something else, but after seeing the look in her father's eyes, she sat down and watched Li Xiang pour the wine.

Changsun Wuji is an old fox. One or two things can't move his heart. Now he is also observing Li Xiang carefully. If you act, let me see how long you can act.

Establishing a heir apparent is a big deal. Changsun Wuji will never change his decision just because of one or two trivial matters. Li Xiang also understands this, so he has to make great efforts. Even if he cannot see the effect in a short time, he still has to Hold it in.

After three drinks and five dishes, Li Xiang also knew that the highlight was coming. Changsun Wuji called his uncle and nephew to his home. It was by no means a simple meal. This was probably the first time for the uncle and nephew. A test.

"Erlang, Tai'er, I wonder if you have heard about it? Prince Zaterk of Tuyuhun proposed to marry me, Tang Dynasty. How do you think we should deal with it?"

The test came so quickly, and everyone here was not a fool, so Changsun Wuji stopped beating around the bush and directly stated the test questions.

King Li Tai of Wei is known for his talents and is also the best among the princes. Li Xiang is even more powerful. Yesterday, Ping Gaoli was the best in the court. At the moment, Changsun Wuji is in charge of Prince Tuyuhun. He just happened to take a look at these two people. Do you have any ideas? It can not only help you out of trouble, but also test the two of them.

"I understand Zaterk. He is the most talented person in Tuyuhun. He has studied in Chang'an for a long time and has admired us for a long time. Although Tuyuhun has been unkind to us in recent years, if we get married, I, Datang, will guide us well. , will definitely become our vassal of the Tang Dynasty and help our Datang Dynasty defend the southwest border and prevent Tibetan invasion."

King Li Tai of Wei said very proudly that King Li Tai of Wei had consulted many scholars about Tuyuhun, so he did not wait for Li Xiang to answer. This guy spoke first to show that he was capable in this regard.

A genus of the Tang Dynasty?

Resist Tibet?

After listening to Li Tai's words, Li Xiang didn't know what to say. How can you be called talented with a brain like yours?

After thinking about it, I understand that Li Tai, the king of Wei, is Li Shimin's favorite prince. The people below just need to flatter him. It doesn't cost money to flatter him anyway. Li Tai has probably lost himself in all kinds of flattery. Really Think of yourself as a talented person.

"Erlang is right. Zaterk once traveled extensively in Qujiang and left many poems, which are quite similar to the style of our Tang Dynasty literature."

Hearing what Changsun Chong said, Li Xiang knew that his two royal horses were given away for nothing. This guy was still a staunch loyalist to the King of Wei.

Changsun Pingting had heard about Zaterk for a long time, but Li Xiang had not expressed his position at this moment, so Changsun Pingting did not say anything either. The marriage was highly praised by everyone from top to bottom during the Zhenguan period. Could it be that Li Xiang had a different meaning? ?

Therefore, Changsun Pingting would not be able to speak until Li Xiang expressed his attitude.

"Xiang'er, what do you think?"

Li Tai's answer was quite satisfactory. There was no expression on Changsun Wuji's face, so he directly asked Li Xiang...
