Yang Chen had always imagined what his father-in-law looked like.
Rich Li.
It should be similar to Nero Zhou.
Fierce, stingy, and mean.
When his father-in-law, Li, came to visit, it was the time to break up the mandarin ducks.
However, Yang Chen's worldview collapsed at this moment. He looked at Li Shi Min in shock and thought,"I didn't expect Cai Wei's father to be such a handsome man with an extraordinary aura. He was definitely a handsome man when he was young.”
Li Shi Min was also sizing him up. He was a resolute youth.
He didn't look like the scheming young man who knew the identity of Changle's princess and used all means to become the prince consort.
Chang Le was hiding behind Yang Chen. This scene was really awkward. Fortunately, her father did not reveal his identity to embarrass her.
"Father-in-law, please sit inside."
After Yang Chen finished speaking, Li Shi Min looked at Yang Chen with a sharp gaze. His lips moved but he didn't say anything.
Even Li Shiming, who was an emperor, couldn't help it.
He had never seen such a son-in-law who was so familiar with him. Li Shiming did not dare to be arrogant. This was someone else's territory and there was a white tiger.
When they entered the room, Li Junxian stood guard outside, not daring to listen to the princess 'private affairs.
"Are you two husband and wife?"
Li Shi Min sat on the stool and asked directly.
Yang Chen and Chang Le were shocked at first and looked at each other.
"Yes!"
"None!"
Changle said yes, Yang Chen said no.
"Father, we are already husband and wife. Now that the rice has been cooked, please let me go.”
Changle's words made Li Shiming so angry that he almost exploded like lava.
The daughter I raised for fourteen years ran away with someone just like that. She didn't even say goodbye to me, her father, and cooked rice with someone else.
"Actually no, Cai Wei is still innocent.”
Yang Chen helped up Chang Le who was kneeling on the ground. He was a man of seven feet tall, how could he be willing to sacrifice his wife's reputation and use despicable means to gain his father-in-law's approval?
Naturally, he had to be honest.
Obviously, Yang Chen's words were more believable. Li Shiming's expression softened slightly and he nodded at Yang Chen, acknowledging his manly behavior.
"Caiwei and I are in love. Father-in-law must already know that I will definitely treat her well.”
Yang Chen could tell that Li Shi Min wasn't someone who would pester him, so he could only sincerely persuade him.
"Let me ask you, if you had a daughter, would you marry her to a poor boy?”Li Shi Min sneered. The mountain youth was indeed naive.
"I won't."
Yang Chen was silent for a moment before spitting out two words.
"Then what do you have to make me marry my daughter to you?”
"Father-in-law, can I tell you a historical story?”
"Speak!"
Yang Chen hesitated for a moment. The other party was a big businessman and might not have read many books. He asked again,
"Father-in-law, do you know the history of the Qin Dynasty?”
Nonsense!
Li Shi Min cursed in his heart. I am the Emperor of Tang, not some illiterate merchant. How could I not know the history of the dynasties?
"Tell me."
Chang Le's eyes were wide open as she held her chin. She liked Yang Chen's confidence when he talked about the world the most. Perhaps her father would be convinced by him.
"During the Western Zhou Dynasty, the leader of the Qin people, Ying Feizi, had once raised horses for the Zhou royal family and was granted the title of Qin. However, because they were in the western border area, they were of humble origin. The vassals regarded them as barbarians and the world despised them."
Yang Chen said.
Li Shi Min immediately had a picture in his mind.
The leader of a tribe that raised horses was appreciated by the emperor of Great Zhou. He expanded the tribe of 500 people to a city of 5000 people and finally reached a vassal state of 50000 people. He even established the Ying ancestral hall and passed it down to future generations.
From vassal states to small vassal states, and finally from small vassal states, they destroyed the western Rong race and opened up a thousand miles of land to the west, dominating for a time.
During this period of time, it declined, but it reformed and stood up. Then, it annexed the Ba and Shu countries, united the vassals, and a great country rose.
In the end, Ying Zheng ascended the throne, swept across the Six Directions, and unified the world.
The history of the Qin country could be said to be the path of the rise of ordinary people.
"You're talking about yourself, right?"
Li Shi Min looked at the young man who was neither servile nor overbearing. He was quite ambitious.
No wonder Chang Le liked him.
"That's right. The river flows thirty times east, and the river flows thirty times west. No one knows what will happen in the future.”
Yang Chen did not expect that he would actually become the protagonist of a melodramatic novel. He was just short of telling his father-in-law not to bully a young man who was poor.
Li Shimin agreed with the saying that the river had been flowing for thirty years.
He had once been a dandy youth in Taiyuan, but now he had become the ruler of a country.
Moreover…
Yang Chen's prediction that the Imperial Court would send troops to the Turks from the grain prices had truly surprised Li Shimin.
In addition to his experience just now, he did not look like a country bumpkin who had never read a book. Chang Le was not blind either.
Since that was the case, he would use the matters of the imperial court to test the youth again.
Chang Le knew that Li Shiming liked wine, so he took a jar of wine and handed it to Yang Chen. Yang Chen quickly filled Li Shiming's cup.
"Father-in-law, please!"
Li Shi Min harrumphed. He was furious, but now, he was not willing to give up.
Who would be happy if their daughter was kidnapped? The key was that Changle seemed to be the only one who would marry him.
If he forcefully broke up the couple, Chang Le might do something extreme.
The most troublesome thing was that Yang Chen was not a liar, nor was he pure trash. There was no reason to break him up.
To be honest, Li Shimin didn't care if the Prince Consort of Changle had money, power, or background.
If he wanted money, who in the world was richer than him?
Who in the world had more power than him?
Who in the world had a background like him?
As the emperor, he cared more about kinship.
He didn't care about it for now. He looked around as he walked and turned back to discuss with the Guanyin maid.
After drinking the clear wine, Li Shiming's eyes immediately lit up, as if he remembered Zhangsun You saying that Yang Chen's house had the best wine in the world, which was delicious and intoxicating.
Yang Chen naturally noticed Li Shiming's expression and whispered something into Chang Le's ear. She immediately ran to the woodshed.
"Father, there are three jars of husband's wine here. Take them back and drink slowly.”
Chang Le put the three jars of wine aside, thinking that Li Shimin had agreed to their request. He said warmly,"Why don't you stay for dinner before leaving? My husband's cooking is very good!”
"Nonsense!"
Li Shi Min couldn't drink anymore and slammed the table angrily,"You're an unmarried woman. Here, your husband is long and your husband is short. Don't you know shame?”
Although Chang Le was scolded, he clearly felt that Li Shimin was not so opposed.
Yang Chen was naturally unhappy when he saw Li Shiming yelling at Chang Le.
