"Cousin, I want to be the prince consort!" Li Jie, who was thinking, suddenly looked up at Liu Yidao.

"Cousin, don't you have a fever?" Liu Yi was shocked by Li Jie's words. Li Jie had asked him about Princess Shang before, but he didn't take it to heart. Unexpectedly, Li Jie would bring up the old story again now.

"I am very sober. With what my grandfather did, it will cause great disaster in the future. If I want to save my life, I must be my son-in-law!" Li Jie said very seriously.

"Not that, your grandfather has an iron voucher for death, and he is still exempt from death two times..."

Before Liu Yi finished speaking, Li Jie interrupted him with a wry smile and said, "When did the iron coupon of exemption from death have been used? If His Majesty really had the intention to kill, even if there was a hundred iron coupon of exemption from death, it would be useless!"

Liu Yi opened his mouth when he heard Li Jie's words, and finally sighed. Indeed, when Hu Weiyong was killed, the other three marquises, including Emperor Shengzong of Tang, Fei Ju and Zhao Yong, were all implicated, and they all had iron vouchers for death, but they were useless.

"But your grandfather is Li Shanchang after all!" Liu Yi hesitated for a while but still said in disbelief. Although his father saw that Li Shanchang was fascinated by power and did not know how to advance or retreat, he would definitely suffer a great loss in the future, but he did not think that Zhu Yuanzhang would really kill Li Shanchang. At most, he would be dismissal from office and demotion, and at worst, he would be exiled. After all, he was Li Shanchang, the number one hero of the Ming Dynasty!

In fact, this is normal. In the current situation, except for Li Jie, the time traveler, even Zhu Yuanzhang may not have made up his mind to kill Li Shanchang.

"So what? Han Xin and Changsun Wuji, who did not work hard and make great contributions, but what would happen in the end?" Li Jie asked again.

"This..." Liu Yi was angry again.

"If Your Majesty really wants to kill, the only way to save his life is to become the son-in-law. I don't have much time left for me. Before the incident, I must become the son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty!" Li Jie said again.

It is not enough to be a prince consort, because it can only save Li Jie's life alone. If he wants to save the lives of other family members, he must do more. Li Jie has some ideas about this. For him, the first step is, that is, being a prince consort is the most difficult.

"Your Majesty has more than a dozen princesses, most of whom have already been married. Among these princes, they are either the sons of nobles or from Jinshi. Although you are barely considered a noble descendant, your status is too different. So unless you can pass the Jinshi exam, there is only a glimmer of hope. However, the imperial examination has just been held this year, and you have to wait for at least another three years to have a chance." Liu Yi finally accepted Li Jie's statement and began to analyze for him.

Li Jie was speechless after hearing this. How could he have three years left? Moreover, he couldn't even memorize the Analects of Confucius, let alone take the imperial examination for the Jinshi, so this path simply didn't work, and he had to find a way from the status of a nobleman.

Just as Li Jie and Liu Yi were discussing, suddenly there was a sound of footsteps coming from outside, and then a maid came in to report: "Young master, the master is back. Please go to the front hall and say that there are guests coming!"

Li Jie was stunned when he heard the maid's words. He remembered that Li Zhu went to the yamen this morning. It was not yet noon, so why did he come back? And there are still customers coming?

"Cousin, how do you feel? Why don't you rest in the room? I'll talk to my uncle for you." Liu Yi was still worried about Li Jie's body, so he asked.

"It's okay, let's go to the front hall together!" Li Jie shook his head and said. He was also very curious about the guests who came. He could actually ask Li Zhu to come back from the yamen to receive him personally. I think he is not an ordinary person.

Li Jie and Liu Yi came to the front hall and saw Li Zhu sitting in the hall. When they saw them, they also smiled and said, "As soon as I came back, I heard from the servants that you are back too. It just so happened that Jie'er's fifth uncle is coming. You two will have a good drink with us later!"

"Uncle Fifth? Is it the fifth uncle who married... no, is it the fifth uncle who has given up the princess?" Li Jie asked in surprise when he heard this. Liu Yi had introduced him to him before. His fifth uncle seemed to be named Li Qi, and he was Li Shanchang's youngest son. Li Shanchang was killed all over the family, and only he and his two sons survived because of the princess.

"Yes, my relationship with your fifth uncle is good. I met him in the yamen today. He said he had something to talk to me, so we made an appointment to have dinner at home at noon." Li Zhu smiled again. He had a bad relationship with his family, and only Li Qi, the younger brother, could let him feel the warmth of his family.

Li Jie and the others waited with Li Zhu in the living room for a while. After a while, a servant reported the news. Li Qi came to visit. Li Zhu also went out to greet him excitedly. Of course, Li Jie and Liu Yi followed behind.

When Li Jie and the others came to the door, they saw a long and handsome middle-aged man standing outside the door. He looked about in his early thirties, his nose was like a gallbladder, his eyes were like stars, and his three long beards under his jaw, which looked like an indescribable handsome and elegant spirit.

"Fifth brother, what else do you have to inform me when you come? Just come in!" Li Zhu immediately stepped forward enthusiastically when he saw the middle-aged man outside the door. No need to ask, he must be Li Jie's fifth uncle Li Qi.

"The courtesy is not abolished, and third brother, you go out to greet him personally. Wouldn't I be more respectful?" Li Qi also joked at this time. From this we can also see that his relationship with Li Zhu is indeed good.

"Meet Uncle Wu!" Li Jie also stepped forward and bowed.

"No need to be polite. I feel relieved when I heard that Jie'er's illness has been cured!" Li Qi also supported Li Jie very enthusiastically at this time. When talking about Li Jie's illness, the expression on his face was a bit complicated. After all, the cause of Li Jie's illness lies with his own family.

At this time, Liu Yi also came forward to salute, and Li Qi also said a few words to him. Then Li Zhu invited the other party to the living room. The servants at home quickly delivered food and food, and several people were having sex and chatting.

It is actually a very tormenting thing to eat with your elders. Not only can you not get into the conversation, but you also have to deal with the elders' inquiries from time to time. When the elders' wine glass is empty, you have to take the initiative to pour wine with a wink, otherwise it will be rude.

Fortunately, Liu Yi was accompanied by him, and Li Qi was only concerned about chatting with Li Zhu, so Li Jie and the others were not only bored, but also relaxed.

However, after three rounds of drinking, Li Qi suddenly pondered for a moment, and finally said, "Third Brother, in a few days, my father's birthday will be 75th. Last year, everyone was very unhappy because of my second brother, and my father was also very angry. However, a year has passed, and my father's anger has almost disappeared. Why don't you prepare some gifts this year? I'll persuade me again. When my father is happy, the previous thing will be over!"

As soon as Li Qi said that, Li Zhu was silent all of a sudden. During the birthday party last year, Li Shanchang drove the father and son out, and he didn't let them come again for a whole year. Although he didn't say that the father and son relationship was cut off, it was almost the same.

Li Zhu's feelings for Li Shanchang are also very complicated. On the one hand, he blamed Li Shanchang for causing Li Jie to get sick, and on the other hand, he couldn't let go of the relationship between father and son.

Li Jie next to him secretly curled his lips. He wanted Li Shanchang to directly cut off relations with their family, and even the bigger the two families, the better. Although Zhu Yuanzhang's temper might not let them go just because of the father-son relationship, there might be a glimmer of hope.

Of course, Li Jie could only think about the above words in his mind. The real decision depends on Li Zhu. The title of head of the family is not just for fun.

"Okay, I'll ask you, Brother Wu, to say something nice for me!" Li Zhu finally nodded and agreed.

Li Jie next to him sighed when he heard this. He knew that Li Zhuhui agreed. After all, Li Zhu is a traditional scholar. Years of filial piety education have already penetrated into the bone marrow. In addition, his illness has been cured, so Li Zhu will definitely find a way to repair his relationship with Li Shanchang.

"That's great, I knew you would agree to the third brother. This matter will be covered by me!" Li Qi saw Li Zhu agreeing, and immediately raised his glass with great joy.

Li Zhu also raised his wine glass and slapped it all over with Li Qi. Then the two brothers laughed happily.

The wine was drunk until the afternoon. Both Li Zhu and Li Qi were drunk. Li Jie had no choice but to send Li Qi away, and then personally sent Li Zhu to the inner house. After finishing all this, it was getting late.

Liu Yi also drank a few more drinks, but he was young and had a good alcohol tolerance, so he was not drunk. He was about to say goodbye and left, but Li Jie pulled him aside and said, "There is something I want to ask my cousin to help you!"

"Isn't it for you to be your prince consort?" Liu Yi smiled bitterly when he heard this. He was really powerless in this matter.

"Isn't this? Didn't the fifth uncle invite us father and son to celebrate our grandfather's birthday today? I'm going to give our grandfather a birthday gift!" Li Jie smiled slightly. He had no idea about being the son-in-law, but today's arrival gave him an idea.

"What birthday gift are you going to give?" Liu Yi asked with great interest.

"Of course it is a priceless birthday gift that is rare in the world. At that time, it will definitely compare the birthday gifts of other people!" Li Jie smiled mysteriously. Whether his plan is feasible depends on whether the birthday gift is worth it.

"Cousin, you are bragging, what birthday gifts can compare to other people's birthday gifts?" Liu Yi said with disbelief. That's Li Shanchang. Every year when he celebrates his birthday, he even gives gifts in the palace, not to mention the officials and nobles who flatter Li Shanchang, they send out almost countless rare treasures.
