From everyone's point of view, it was their honor to serve His Highness King Wu with tea and water.
If he was favored by His Royal Highness King Wu that day, it would be a blessing from his previous life!
This incident has aroused many discussions in Yangzhou and Suzhou, mainly because the topic is too high.
Li Ke, the women with the five surnames are all very topical people. Now that the two are combined, more people will naturally discuss it.
Since many official roads have been built into cement roads, the transportation is very convenient.
So it didn't take long for the news to reach Chang'an City.
The Datang Daily in Chang'an City also immediately published the news intact.
As soon as the news came out, the entire city of Chang'an was boiling!
Because there are many princes and nobles in Chang'an City, and there are many aristocratic families.
These are the main groups who want to marry women with five surnames.
This news stimulated them far more than ordinary people, and it was very great!
Especially many people who have gone to Wuxing Qiwang to ask for marriage before, but were rejected.
After seeing the news, I was even more irritated!
And the worst one, of course, is Li Chengqian, the current crown prince!
This crown prince, at this time, threw things in the East Palace to vent his anger!
"Why!"
Li Chengqian's unwilling roar was heard all the time in the East Palace!
PS: Second more! .
Chapter 223: Li Shimin Finds His Heart!Li Chengqian's biggest crisis!
Since arriving in Yangzhou, various affairs have become more and more complicated.
Wu Meiniang and Xie Wan'er have been busy going around recently, and they can't handle many things.
Li Ke also thought about increasing manpower, but there are still too few who meet the conditions for women and literacy.
Yes, Li Ke's requirement for a secretary must be a woman.
It's like there are only women in the emperor's harem, even if there are men, they are still eunuchs.
Only women can enter his study and backyard.
The other principals and soldiers can only come in for a short time when reporting something.
Therefore, he is actually looking for a smart and literate woman to share the pressure with Wu Meiniang and Xie Wan'er.
It happened that Qiwang of the five surnames sent him a total of 21 women who had read poetry and books.
Wu Meiniang will share 10, Xie Waner will share 10, and there is one left for him to massage his shoulders, serve tea and pour water, perfect.
Moreover, these women are all the most beautiful among the five surnames and Qiwang's families. In addition, they have read poetry and books, and each of them has a very outstanding temperament.
It has the feeling of being a lady, and the age group is also very rich.
From Cardamom Nianhua, to Jiji Nianhua to Jasper Nianhua, there are products for every age group.
Fortunately, Li Ke doesn't have any special hobbies, otherwise he might be ecstatic.
But since these women came to his house, they were naturally his.
When you are interested in the future, it is normal to be pampered.
"It's their blessing to stay and serve His Highness."
When Cui Yuantang saw that Li Ke had asked them to stay, he was immediately relieved, and a look of joy flashed in his eyes.
As long as these women stay, they can always give Li Ke some pillow breeze, which is somewhat useful.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your love!"
The women also saluted Li Ke respectfully.
"Meiniang, Wan'er, take them down and teach them well, and then they will be your assistants."
Li Ke looked at Wu Meiniang and Xie Wan'er, and gave them an order.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Wu Meiniang and Xie Wan'er nodded immediately, and then took all those women away.
The two of them are in a very good mood, because Li Ke expressed his heart today.
The two of them became Li Ke's children in one fell swoop from the little secretaries who helped Li Ke!
You must know that Ruren's status is very high, second only to the concubine in the palace, and is the fifth rank in terms of rank!
And there are only two places for children, but Li Ke gave them both.
This proves that the status of the two of them in Li Ke's mind is still very high, at least second only to Princess Zhao Nanyan.
They are already very satisfied with this status, after all, it has reached its peak.
Going further unless Zhao Nanyan is no longer the princess, but how is this possible?
Therefore, the two of them were very satisfied and happy.
Especially Xie Wan'er, she had always been very inferior before, because she was the daughter of a businessman, and she was far behind Wu Meiniang in her status.
No matter what Wu Meiniang said, she was also the daughter of Lord Ying, more or less the daughter of a nobleman.
So she has been working hard to help Li Ke handle various business matters, and now that Li Ke has given her a title, she is finally relieved.
Especially today, in front of so many outstanding women with five surnames, Li Ke still chooses her as a child, which proves her status in Li Ke's heart.
"You have to study hard. His Royal Highness King Wu is busy with affairs and needs manpower to help with some basic affairs."
Wu Meiniang and Xie Wan'er followed Li Ke's instructions and began to teach them how to handle official business.
These girls with five surnames were slightly taken aback, they thought that Wu Meiniang and Xie Wan'er were going to teach them some matters about husband and wife.
They just wanted to say that before they came, there were female elders in the family who specially taught them.
Didn't expect Wu Meiniang and Xie Wan'er to teach them to handle official business?
Thinking of this, the women of the five surnames suddenly showed embarrassment, and their pretty faces turned red.
They think wrong!
It's a good thing I didn't ask, otherwise everyone would be dead!
Wu Meiniang and Xie Wan'er noticed the strange blushing of these women and couldn't help being a little surprised.
Are all women with five surnames so shy?
Outside, with only Li Ke and the seven Patriarchs left, Li Ke also started talking about business.
"Which of the seven of you are working in the imperial court, who are working in the local area, and what positions are introduced."
Li Ke went straight to the point and asked them to introduce their respective forces.
"I am Qinghe Cui, yes"
Next, the seven families gave a quick introduction of their respective forces.
After listening, Li Ke couldn't help showing a satisfied smile on his face.
Sure enough, as he expected, even though the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs were defeated by him, their foundations are still very deep.
These forces are now under his control.
Coupled with the connections he had previously managed, he now has great influence both in the court and among the local officials.
"The remaining two conditions must be completed as soon as possible."
Li Ke explained to the seven people.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
The seven immediately nodded respectfully.
"Come here, take the seven of them to the barracks of the Shenji Camp to see the artillery."
Li Ke directly ordered them to be taken to the barracks.
If you want to control a person, a power, you have to let him see that following you is good, and let him be afraid of you!
Li Ke just wanted these seven people to see the power of the artillery, and to make them truly fear him in their hearts!
With fear, and giving them a little bit of benefits, they will naturally be obedient.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Immediately someone was leading the way.
Although the seven of Cui Yuantang didn't know what Li Ke asked them to do in the barracks, there should be no danger.
After all, the two parties have reached a settlement, and I and others are also on Li Ke's side.
It is obviously unprofitable for Li Ke to attack them.
They followed the soldiers to the barracks, and then saw a door of black steel cannons.
Although they didn't know what the cannon was for, they couldn't help feeling a chill in their hearts.
"Bang bang bang!"
With the sound of cannons, they saw the tragedy of the place where the shells passed in the distance through the binoculars handed over by the soldiers.
All seven faces became extremely pale, and their eyes were full of fear!
This is simply beyond their knowledge of weapons and destructive power!
They also understood why Li Ke asked someone to bring them to the barracks, just to warn them.
If you obey, then everything will be fine.
If they are not obedient, then these cannons will be aimed at their ancestral home!
At that time, when a round of shells goes down, the five surnames and seven Wangs will be completely annihilated in ashes!
Thinking of this, they couldn't help but think back to the evil pen in the clan who suggested assassinating Li Ke at that time, how dare they think about it!
Thinking about it now, they feel like a frog in a well.
No matter whether Li Ke used words or martial arts, he could easily crush them to death.
Fortunately, they still wanted to assassinate Li Ke before, and then wanted to control Li Ke, which is simply ridiculous.
Once these shots were fired, they were completely submissive and did not dare to have any thoughts.
Sure enough, the cannon is the truth!
Time soon came to the second day.
The Datang Daily was delivered to everyone very early, and everyone has also seen the news in the Datang Daily today.
"The heads of five surnames, seven families and seven families came to the Governor's Mansion to thank His Highness King Wu for finding out the reason for their frequent birth of defective babies."
"In order to avoid this situation from happening again in the future, the five surnames and Qiwang decided not to intermarry with each other from now on"
"And in order to thank His Highness King Wu, Qiwang of Five Surnames selected 21 of the best and most beautiful women of five surnames from seven families, and sent them to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to serve tea and water for His Royal Highness King Wu, and wait around."
"His Royal Highness the King of Wu was very pleased to see Wu Xing Qi Wang sincerely admitted his mistakes and bravely corrected them, and accepted Wu Xing Qi Wang's gift of thanks."
Seeing the news in the newspaper, everyone immediately cheered.
Before, they supported Li Ke's initiative to prohibit intermarriage between the five surnames and Qiwang, and they also wrote a petition of Wanmin and sent it to Chang'an City.
Now there is no news about the convenience of Chang'an City, but the heads of the five surnames, seven Wang and seven families came to Yangzhou in person, and went to the Governor's Mansion to meet His Highness King Wu!
And the five surnames Qiwang admitted their mistakes, and promised that they would never intermarry with each other in the future, and thanked His Royal Highness Wu Wang for helping them point out their mistakes.
In order to thank His Highness King Wu, Qiwang of Five Surnames specially selected 21 of the best and most beautiful women and sent them to the Governor's Mansion!
These women are not married to His Highness King Wu, but are a bit like maids, who are given to His Highness Wu and help His Highness serve tea and water.
You must know that it is extremely difficult to marry a woman with five surnames, even if a prince or aristocrat marries a woman with five surnames, it will be extremely face-saving.
However, His Royal Highness King Wu was sent to the door by the five surnames and Qiwang, and there were as many as 21 women!
