Chapter 282: Father-in-law treats son-in-law(2/2)
Duke Pei glanced at him and said, "Don't get me wrong. I don't want to protect much military power. If you have this idea, you will do it first. At least in the past three or five years, there is no problem at all. At present, the Li family needs to strengthen the strength of military towns around Chang'an to avoid the influence of the Shence Army and Feilong Army and other troops in Chang'an too great. In the past three or five years, these military towns are under my jurisdiction. But to be honest, I don't interfere much in this matter. This time, the things that the officials have to do will be arranged by Li's heavyweights. You can do this."
The fifth prince sighed and said, "Princess Huaizhen was fed several bowls of ecstasy soup by your son-in-law last night. I guess he is already helping him with these things."
Duke Pei was surprised, "Is Princess Huaizhen all boarding your boat?"
The fifth prince looked at his surprised look and smiled brightly, "It's not just about getting on this boat. Last night, my sister proposed to marry your son-in-law, but her son-in-law returned. She then settled for the second best and negotiated business with your son-in-law. However, Duke Pei, I don't think my sister's mind will give up. You said that she really wants to marry your son-in-law in the future, do you have to plan ahead?"
Prince Pei narrowed his eyes slightly. He looked at the expressions of the fifth prince and Pei Yunqi, and knew that this matter was not a nonsense of the fifth prince. He thought about it for a moment and said, "If this is true, carefully planning can be considered half of the Li family's direct lineage, which is also a good thing."
After pausing, he looked at Gu Liubai and said, "Have you figured out why Li can reach such a tacit understanding with you so easily?"
Gu Liubai had already thought about the key points here before. Listening to his question, Gu Liubai said calmly, "I think the big reason is because of Duke Pei, because Duke Pei, you are deeply trusted by Li. With Duke Pei, you have a relationship with me, they think that even if something goes wrong, at least Duke Pei, you can mediate from it. I may not give others the face, but Duke Pei, you should be serious about me and I will listen to it."
"It is worthy of being the most powerful stump on the trade road. His ability to analyze the current situation is really top-notch." Duke Pei was extremely satisfied in an instant. He had previously thought that Gu Liubai was too young, for fear that Gu Liubai would accidentally take a wrong step and would lead to uncontrollable consequences. At this time, he felt that he was completely over-concerned.
"Since even Princess Huaizhen has boarded your boat, I can think of ways to help you with other great benefits in addition to these two things."
Prince Pei smiled and said, "A beautiful wife may think it's too much, but money should not be too much. Some things in our military are ridiculously expensive and use a lot of them. Many of the wealth that flowed from all over the Tang Dynasty to Chang'an were consumed in these things. In the past, there were too many interests involved in the family and it was not easy to do, but with the strength you are at hand now, with Princess Huaizhen, and with the transportation of many goods outside the pass, you are more familiar with the problem than anyone else. If I come to match it, the problem will not be too big."
Gu Liubai nodded, and then said seriously, "I have a deep bond with Cui. I want to find the old monster Cui and kill him."
Duke Pei looked at him deeply, then nodded lightly and said, "I understand."
When he was about to go out, he remembered an important thing, turned to tell Gu Liubai, and said, "Since Princess Huaizhen has worked together to terminate Yunhua's marriage, I guess it will take ten days at most. You can hold it back in these ten days."
Gu Liubai was speechless.
