Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

"So during the holidays, their visits and benefits will naturally not be less."

"At that time, let's not talk about vulgar things like gold, silver and jewelry."

"It's more likely that there will be many rare toys that you haven't even heard of or seen, my lord, will be sent over."

"There will be no less beauties like your favorite beauties, my lord."

"In short, my lord, please believe me."

"As long as your lord makes good friends with the nobles here, your life will definitely be much more comfortable than what you have now..."

Listening to Quan Wanji's lavish persuasion and description that day, Qi Wang Li You was really moved.

Immediately nodded in agreement, and let Quan Wanji make arrangements.

He personally went to sit in the homes of these elite families and have a chat.

Seeing this, Quan Wanji, who had succeeded in his scheme, naturally nodded his head and proceeded to do it.

Afterwards, Qi Wang Li You was also arranged and accompanied by Quan Wanji.

I really went to various aristocrats to win the relationship.

He is a dignified prince.

Although she is a concubine, she is also the least lovable among the princes.

But the respect that should be shown by these elites must be shown.

This is more about the authority and face of the imperial power.

The last incident between Li Qiu, King of Peking, and the Cui family of Qinghe really dealt a blow to these elite families.

Their attitude towards imperial power is far less arrogant than before.

For them, Li You, the king of Qi, who is very nervous, is naturally quite happy.

Regarding Li You's last stop, it was also the most important one carefully selected by Quan Wanji.

That is the Cui family in Yanzhou!

Ever since King Li Qiu of Peking murdered more than a thousand members of the Cui family in Qingzhou.

The entire Qinghe Cui family was rejected by the large group of powerful and noble families.

He became a rat crossing the street, and everyone shouted and beat him.

Momentum declined sharply.

So at this juncture, the Cui family of Qinghe was also at the lowest point, and the period when it was most likely to be wooed.

After the Qingzhou Cui family completely collapsed, the Yanzhou Cui family with Cui Shan as the patriarch undoubtedly became the most powerful and important branch of the Qinghe Cui family.

If they can be brought over, it will be of great help to the future plan of King Wu Li Ke.

Facts have also proved that the current Cui family in Yanzhou is also very urgent and eager for the support of external forces.

Thinking of the gentry that Quan Wanji and Qi Wang Li You walked through before, although they were very warm and polite.

But those are treated as standardized.

No matter whether it is Qi Wang Li You or Wu Wang Li Ke who is here today, they will be treated the same.

The patriarch of the family, at most, will meet you once, and just say a few polite words.

The rest are accompanied by the core members of the family.

Deep down, their attitude is still quite indifferent.

I don't mean to be wooed by you.

But when Quan Wanji and Qi Wang Li You came to Cui's house in Yanzhou.

Cui Shan, the head of the Cui family, was actually waiting in the living room in person.

The posture and specifications of the entire Cui family are obviously higher than other families.

The attitude is very polite and very warm.

For the Cui family, this is also a matter of no choice.

The time, the potential.

The current Cui family has squandered most of their wealth.

There is really no capital to continue to be arrogant.

Chapter 669

For the Cui family's high-standard reception, Qi Wang Li You was naturally quite happy in his heart.

With Cui's family, they became more and more enthusiastic and chatted speculatively.

Then after the banquet, the Cui family took Qi Wang Li You, who had been drinking a lot, to visit the snow scene in the mansion.

It just happened to "accidentally" ran into the first lady of the Cui family who was playing in the snow.

Such a delicate and handsome girl is wearing a gorgeous brocade suit and a red cape playing in the snow.

Smart, cute, beautiful, and decent.

It really gave Li You a bright reaction.

Quan Wanji and the Cui family were all aware of this obvious reaction from him who had never been deep in the city.

I didn't even wait until I returned to the mansion.

Just on the way, Li You couldn't help asking Quan Wanji.

Who is that woman playing with snow that I bumped into in the Cui Family's courtyard today?

At this time, Quan Wanji told him that the girl was the real lady of the Cui family.

At a young age, she has not yet married.

You are just right for Your Highness who is not yet married.

Upon hearing this, Li You couldn't help but feel alive.

Normally speaking, if the Cui family did not have the previous series of events.

Although he is an expensive prince, he probably won't be able to marry Qinghe Cui's direct daughter.

Among those wealthy families with big surnames, they think highly of themselves when it comes to marriage.

Most of the time they are intermarried, and they really look down on these princes and princesses in the court.

After all, they have seen many princes and princesses from past dynasties.

Dynasties are replaced, and they can be changed as soon as they are said.

Once the dynasty is changed, these so-called princes and princesses will be nothing.

On the contrary, it may bring disaster to the family.

Only the well-matched nobles are eternal.

Afterwards, Quan Wanji asked Li You again, saying, Your Highness, what do you think of Miss Cui's family?

If you like it, maybe there is room for maneuver in this matter.

Hearing this, Qi Wang Li You was naturally overjoyed.

He repeatedly told Quan Wanji that this matter is feasible.

He was quite satisfied with that Miss Cui's family, no matter in terms of appearance, temperament, or family background.

It is said that a phoenix in trouble is not as good as a chicken.

This Qi Wang Li You, who has been discriminated against since he was born, is really sad.

On the other side, within Cui's house in Yanzhou.

After getting feedback from Quan Wanji and intentional matching.

Their patriarch, Cui Shan, was also quite pleased with the marriage with King Qi.

The rest is to cooperate with Quan Wanji to operate this matter.

When Quan Wanji left, there would naturally be people in the clan who expressed their doubts.

It is said that our Qinghe Cui family has always been unwilling to marry the royal family.

Why are you still actively fawning on marrying the Cui family's direct daughter to the royal family?

And taking a ten thousand step back, even if you marry the prince, you can't marry the Qi Wang Li You who has the weakest background and the least future, right?

Regarding their questions, Cui Shan suppressed his anger and told them.

This is a moment.

Now, I, the Cui family of Qinghe, were disgraced and seriously injured because of the King of Peking incident.

Later, he was strongly rejected by other wealthy families headed by the Wang family in Taiyuan.

Perhaps in the past few hundred years, my Cui family is at its weakest right now.

Therefore, it is necessary to win the support of new forces as much as possible in order to keep Qinghe Cui's original status.

Once this status is low and becomes a second-rate gentry, the loss will be too great.

They were even more sorry to the ancestors of the Cui family.

But right now, the most convenient and easiest way to seek support is to marry the imperial power.

As for why you chose Qi Wang Li You?

This is not difficult to explain.

First, because the current Qizhou, Jeju, Yanzhou and other places are all fiefdoms of the King Qi.

Once married with King Qi, the Cui family in Yanzhou will be able to get greater protection and development.

When you do a lot of things, you can let go of your hands and feet and don't care about them.

Secondly, don't look at the king of Qi, Li You, who has no foundation or background.

But the more so, the easier it is to be influenced and manipulated by the Cui family.

Moreover, this king of Qi has no ambitions, and will never participate in the disputes over the prince's seizure of power.

In this way, it is also safer and will not implicate the Cui family.

In the end, with the communication between Quan Wanji and Yanzhou Cui's family, the matter was settled.

After receiving the signal from Quan Wanji and the Cui family, Xiao Yu, the prime minister of the DPRK, began to handle this matter.

When Li Shimin learned about this from Xiao Yu, he was also quite satisfied.

First, he is satisfied with Qinghe Cui's humble attitude towards imperial power.

Second, this Qi Wang Li You is indeed old, and it is time to get married.

Now it's just a matter of peace of mind.

Immediately agreed to the marriage.

……

On the other side, in Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty, within the Da'an Palace.

Li Qiu personally brought many gifts to visit the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan.

It was beyond Li Qiu's expectation, every time he came to visit the Supreme Emperor before.

All of them can clearly see the decadent appearance of the Supreme Emperor's rapid aging.

But this time, the Taishanghuang was obviously full of energy.

The complexion is ruddy and the breath is well-proportioned.

Even the eyes are much clearer than before.

Seeing this, Li Qiu was naturally extremely happy.

Immediately saluted and said: "Your Majesty, your spirit is getting better and better."
