All the officials in the court craned their necks and stared at Li Shi Min with wide eyes!
The anticipation in his eyes was not ordinary.
Li Daozong had made illustrious contributions to the founding of the Great Tang. After the establishment of the Great Tang, he had fought in the north and south, even serving as the Governor of the northern border town of Lingzhou. He was guarding the Spiritual State, and the Turks had never entered his territory.
Currently, Li Daozong's prestige was extremely high, and he was known as the 'Two Sages' along with Li Xiaogong. They were the most wise existences among the Imperial Princes.
Not only that, but he was also the right-guard general and the minister of the Ministry of Rites. It could be said that other than Li Shimin, his family was the noblest.
Princess Li Xue Yan had status, status, and was also well-educated. One could not find her even if one held a lantern!
If such a woman became his daughter-in-law, not only would she be a good daughter-in-law, but she would also be able to add wings to his family. From all aspects, it was an existence that only had benefits and no disadvantages.
"Your Majesty, my daughter is already engaged. You can't bestow her a marriage!”
At this moment, Jiangxia Prince Li Daozong, who was wearing a white dragon robe, hurriedly ran over to stop him!
Sigh!
The officials were so angry that they stomped their feet and wanted to punch their own chests.
"This old fellow, when did you decide on the marriage?”
"No wonder he rejected my family's proposal. Who has such sharp eyes?"
The Head of the Bureau of Governmental Affairs, Fang Xuanling, and Prime Minister Fang looked at the Minister of Official Personnel, Zhangsun Wuji, with disdain.
This old fox, it must be him. His eyes were even more cunning than a dog's.
Zhangsun Wuji could feel Fang Xuanling's resentful gaze and quickly shook his head.""Old Fang, why do you hate me?"
"My son went to propose and was rejected?”
As soon as Zhangsun Wuji finished speaking, everyone agreed.
"Yes, I am!"
"My son's marriage proposal was also rejected.”
"My family's three matchmakers and six betrothal gifts were still rejected.”
“......”
Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong, Cheng Yaojin, Hou Junji, and the others all said regretfully.
Among them, only Li Jing smiled faintly. It had nothing to do with him. He only had one son and one daughter. According to the rules of the Great Tang, no one with the same surname could get married. It was none of his business.
Everyone reacted in an instant. They were not fools. Their eyes were sharp, but in the end, they were all rejected.
What was this old king trying to do? If he didn't even like their young master, then only the other five Prominent Families of the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs, other than the Li Family, would be interested.
However, the Tang Emperor Li Shimin had ordered that the officials of the court were forbidden from marrying into the Five Prominent Families.
The goal was simple. He wanted to isolate them and weaken them. The five Prominent Families didn't care about the Imperial Family to begin with. If they were to marry into the court, they would probably go to heaven.
Thinking about it, other than their son, she, Li Xue Yan, had nowhere else to go.
Marriage?
That was not very possible!
Just a year ago, the Tibetan Tsampo Songzan Gambo had proposed marriage, but the Tang Emperor, Li Shimin, had rejected it in a high-profile manner.
In the past year, Songzan Gambo had been very unhappy because of this incident and had been stirring up trouble at the border for a long time. Fortunately, it was a local war, and the border city guards could handle it themselves.
Li Shimin believed that most of the troops had gone to the Western Regions, so it was not convenient to start a full-scale war with Tubo. His policy was to control the local areas if he could. He would not expand, but he would not tolerate it.
After thinking for a long time, he really could not think of a young man who had descended from the heavens to have such good fortune.
"Your Highness, who is it?"
"Why didn't you tell us about this?”
"That's right, wangye, how unkind!”
"She's already engaged, but she still asked us to propose. Isn't she looking for trouble?”
Li Daozong smiled helplessly.”
"The eldest son came, but this king refused. When my second son came, I rejected him, but my third son came again.”
When Zhangsun Wuji heard that, his old face immediately turned red and he grinned."Wangye, don't say what you shouldn't say.”
Hehe!
If it wasn't for this solemn occasion, he would have laughed out loud.
So it's the son of the eldest grandson. Line up to propose marriage!
Li Shi Min was even more interested. Although she was only his niece, she was still a member of the royal family. The husband's family must not lose their status and the royal family's face.
Li Shi Min looked at Li Daozong,"Daozong, who is so lucky?"”
" Your Majesty," Li Daozong hurriedly cupped his hands and said," I was once a subordinate of mine when I was the Governor of the Spiritual State. He was the son of a Zhaowu Commandant."”
" What???"
"Your Highness, Li Daozong, Old Li!”
"Are you confused?"
"Zhaowu Lieutenant, sixth rank. He can't even reach the standard of hereditary nobility.”
"Such a low-level general, you, a prince, want to marry off your daughter?”
"Which of our sons isn't skilled in both martial arts and literature?”
"You, you, you, you!"
The officials were so angry that they stomped their feet. The son of a low-grade sixth-rank general was able to marry the daughter of a prince, and he had suddenly become Old Junma.
According to the rules of the Great Tang, generals were hereditary, and those who entered the ranks were fifth-grade. If he could not reach the fifth rank, his son would not even be considered a prince. This was because such a child had rejected their son. This was simply drawing hatred. It was done on purpose.
When Li Jing heard this, tears immediately appeared in his eyes.
"Dao Sect, if I'm not wrong, it should be Hu Zi!”
"Yes, Marshal." Li Daozong cupped his hands towards Li Jing.”
Although Li Jing wasn't a Prince, he was the leader of the generals. He was a First Rank official and was comparable to the Prime Minister. As long as he went out to battle, he would definitely be the chief steward, which was also the marshal.
Li Jing's words silenced everyone. When Li Jing mentioned Hu Zi, his eyes reddened. He was definitely not just a sixth-rank military general.
"All of you, stop talking." Li Jing said seriously.
"Hongnong Yang Sect, the main sect of the Yang Sect in the world. The eldest of the three sons of the Yang family, Yang Jiao, followed me and died in battle to protect me.”
"Second brother, Yang Qi, followed Su Lie and died bravely for the country.”
"Third brother, Yang Hu, will follow Dao Sect. In the ninth year of Wude, when the Turks attacked Lingzhou, he used his body to block three sabers for Daoist Sect. He was already injured, yet he still carried Daoist Sect back to the camp.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong, and Cheng Yaojin were all shocked.
"The Yang Family's Three Heroes?"？？？”
Li Jing added," Their father, Old General Yang Song, rejected civil war during the chaotic times. He had led his troops to fight against the enemy in Youzhou, but he had also suffered injuries!”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone shut up and lowered their heads.
Yang Hu was promoted to a fifth-grade Dingyuan General because of his meritorious service, and he guarded Songzhou. He had also died in battle a year ago.
Old Yang's only descendant, Yang Hu's son, Yang Hao, had inherited the position of general and went to Songzhou.
Li Daozong thought that he should be sixteen now. The battle of the Western Regions had ended, and he had gained some experience. He could come to Chang 'an to develop. He could also fulfill his promise back then.
In the ninth year of Martial Virtue, he lay on Yang Hu's back and said weakly,""Hu Zi, my wife is pregnant. Third, if you are a son, you will become sworn brothers with your son. If you are a woman, you are husband and wife."
Her voice was very soft, and Yang Hu actually did not understand at all.
Actually, if Li Daozong didn't admit it, the Yang Family wouldn't know about this matter.
However, it was Li Daozong's fault for being able to nurture such an outstanding daughter.……
