One Piece of Song Dynasty

Li Qingling heard the sound and bowed: "Hello, Tang Aiqing."

When Tang Wan saw that it was Li Qingling, she covered her mouth and said in shock: "You, you, you are actually the second prince."

Li Qingling said embarrassedly: "Hey, Wan'er, I'm sorry, I've kept my true identity from you for so long. I'm really sorry."

Tang Hong was confused by this scene. Li Xin explained: "Tang Aiqing, this is my second prince. In fact, my second prince has known your daughter for a long time. They both admire each other, so I made the decision." I have invited your family here to discuss their marriage. I plan to finalize their marriage first, and then hold a wedding ceremony when they reach the age of marriage."

Tang Hong bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, I have no objection. Everything will be done according to your Majesty's orders."

Li Xin asked with a smile: "Logan, do you still have any opinions?"

Logan had long since lost the courage he had just now, and whispered weakly: "I have no objection, little lady."

Li Xin laughed loudly and said: "Hahahaha, okay, Tang Aiqing will stay for lunch today."

Tang Hong bowed his head and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

At this moment, Tang Hong was very excited. He did not expect that his daughter would get to know the second prince, and the two of them loved each other. Now that the marriage has been decided, he is considered a quasi-emperor, and his future career will definitely go smoothly. .

And Tang Hong's wife Li Yuan was even more happy. She never thought that her daughter would be able to catch the second prince, a golden son-in-law. The Tang family would rise in the future. Besides, the Tang prince has not yet been established. Although she doesn't know what the emperor is. Thoughts, but the second prince definitely has a chance to inherit the throne, which means that his daughter also has a chance to become the empress of the Tang Dynasty. If so, that would be great.

At noon, Li Xin and Zhao Fujin accompanied Tang Hong and his wife to dinner. At the dinner table, Li Xin raised her wine glass and said, "Tang Aiqing, come on, you and I will have a drink."

Tang Hong also raised his wine glass and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhao Fujin also raised his glass and said, "Mrs. Tang, let's have a drink too."

Li Yuan smiled and raised her wine glass and replied: "Hey, yes, Concubine De."

The adults of the two families were drinking, and Tang Wan secretly squeezed Li Qingling's leg with her hands and whispered: "Okay, Second Prince, you have to hide it from me. It's a shame that I was planning to fight for you just now."

Li Qingling took a breath and whispered: "Okay, okay, I was wrong, didn't this happen for a reason?"

Logan snorted softly.

The two families were eating and talking, and Li Xin asked, "Tang Aiqing, how are you doing in Zhengzhou?"

Tang Hong replied: "Your Majesty, everything is fine."

Li Xin nodded and said: "Well, that's good. If I want to say anything, I can just say it. Mr. Tang should also be familiar with history books. In history, there are many relatives of various dynasties and generations who have been involved in politics. I don't like this, so I I have very strict requirements for my relatives, and I will not be lenient if my relatives break the law, but I will not hesitate to appoint talents. If any of my relatives are talented, I will still promote them."

Tang Hong was secretly shocked and said: "Yes, I obey the order."

Li Xin continued: "Well, does Tang Aiqing know why I set Zhengzhou as the capital of Henan Road?"

Speaking of this, Li Qingling, who was lowering his head to eat, suddenly pricked up his ears to listen. He had discussed this issue with his subordinate Tian Kai.

Tang Hong shook his head and said: "I don't know. When the emperor first set Zhengzhou as the capital of Henan Road, I was really a little confused. On Henan Road there are Luoyang, Kaifeng, Nanyang, Xuchang, and even Anyang is more famous than Zhengzhou. .”

Li Xin smiled and said: "Haha, Tang Aiqing only saw that Zhengzhou is not as famous as these prefectural cities, but he did not see Zhengzhou's location. Zhengzhou's location is right in the middle of Henan Road. Not only that, Zhengzhou is also in the center of the entire Tang Dynasty. In the future, Zhengzhou will become an important hub connecting the north and south of the Tang Dynasty and connecting the east and west, so I have great expectations for Zhengzhou in the future."

This is not nonsense by Li Xin. After all, his past life experience is there. In his previous life, Zhengzhou was the intersection of China's two major arteries, Longhai and Beijing-Guangzhou. Later, Xulan, Zhengyu and other railway trunk lines were added.

Tang Hong said seriously: "I understand."

After lunch, Li Qingling personally sent Tang Hong's family back to the hotel. When they arrived at the door of the hotel, Tang Wan said, "Father, mother, you go back and rest first. The children are hanging around outside."

Li Qingling cupped her hands and said, "Uncle and aunt, you go back first. I'll accompany Wan'er around Yanjing."

Tang Hong nodded and said: "Well, okay, then, Second Prince and Wan'er, you go ahead. Wan'er remember to come back early. Our family will have to rush back to Zhengzhou tomorrow."

Wan'er replied: "Yes, father."

Returning to Guanyi, Li Yuan said: "Officer, what did the emperor mean at the dinner table today?"

Tang Hong said: "That's the literal meaning. When Wan'er gets married to the second prince, our family will be regarded as foreign relatives. Historically, foreign relatives have participated in many political affairs. The emperor is warning us. Of course, if there are talents among the foreign relatives, the emperor will not hesitate to do so." If you appoint someone with a job, forget it, and even if you are a relative, you can’t do whatever you want, especially if you don’t do anything illegal.”

Li Yuan frowned and said: "Your Majesty is afraid that we will use the Second Prince to crowd people into the court."

Tang Hong shook his head and said: "It's not fear, it's a warning. But if you are really talented, then that's a different matter. In fact, it's fine. Your Majesty has actually solved the upcoming troubles for me."

Li Yuan asked: "What troubles?"

Tang Hong stroked his beard and said: "After today, the matter between Wan'er and the second prince will be made public. After we return to Zhengzhou, many people will definitely come to visit us, especially relatives from our two families. If anyone If they ask me to do something, I can just use the emperor's words to refuse them, so there is no need to offend anyone."

Li Yuan said thoughtfully: "That's true. By the way, what do the emperor's words about Zhengzhou mean today?"

Tang Hong smiled and said, "Hey, madam, you also noticed what the emperor said about Zhengzhou."

Li Yuan rolled her eyes at Tang Hong and said: "Of course, the slave family has been with the official for more than ten years. The more people he has met, the more words he has heard. The emperor's words must have deep meaning."

Tang Hong nodded and said: "That's true. What the emperor said about Zhengzhou today is to explain to me the importance of Zhengzhou. The more important Zhengzhou is, the more important it is, which means that Zhengzhou is a good place for political achievements. The emperor is telling me clearly that in Zhengzhou If you work hard, you will surely make further progress in your official career."

Li Yuan said: "Officer, this means that the emperor is giving you a hint."

Tang Hong nodded and said, "That's exactly it."

Li Qingling and Tang Wan were walking on the streets of Yanjing. Tang Wan looked left and right but did not talk to Li Qingling. The change of identity also made Li Qingling not know what to say to Tang Wan for a while, so she had to follow Tang Wan silently.
