Chapter 969: Changes in the Trade City
Dinner was opened half an hour later, and a room full of seventy or eighty people were accommodated in the same hall.
The left and right wings are also used, and there is no distinction between men and women, just for the sake of a lively picture.
In fact, it is precisely like this, with Li Zhi's two children here, it attracted most of the topics, and Wen Qi, who could already run around, filled the Ming Wangfu with laughter for a while.
With the arrival of Li Yi's two children not long after, the atmosphere became more and more cheerful.
Li Yi married a pair of sisters, who are the two county lords of Mengshu and Xiaowen, the descendants of the Ming Palace, and his father is the king of Changning County, who is commensurate with the cousin of the Ming King.
Their child is two months older than Wen Qi, and he is currently a toddler.
At this point, it is far inferior to Wen Qi's running all over the ground, and the little girl can even jump into the arms of King Ming and grow up in the aura environment, and the gap can be seen.
But in the laughter of everyone, King Jiancheng came in a hurry, and he was accompanied by the five kings Xuanwang, Guan Lugong, and Li Ling and Li Changhe, the second son of the third generation of Xuan Wangfu.
Naturally, the people who came would not destroy the original cheerful atmosphere of the host's house, and King Jiancheng was arguing for the best wine in Li Zhi's hand:
"Text, as soon as you go, you will have more than one, I want to drink a few sips of wine and come here, Guan Lugong's teeth are very tight, and he hides very deeply!"
The fruit wine in Li Zhi's hand is different from those in Lao Liu Tou's winery, it is all made of spirituality, and the taste is not ordinary.
When Yiyi saw the arrival of her father, she couldn't help but be close to her, and Guan Lugong looked at her as if she was a different person, and she loved her daughter like a different person, and she felt another emotion in her heart.
The aura environment is pleasant and nourishing, coupled with the unique temperament of the third-level master, it is normal for Yiyi to have a new look.
Guan Lugong was grateful for the fact that his daughter was so small, and his face was really unbearable, and he insisted on refusing to disclose that the media was marrying, and he was ashamed at this time.
Although he is an ordinary physique, he can also see the changes in his daughter's body, and in the blink of an eye, the stubborn rich girl before was born with a generation of grandmasters, and what it means is obviously easy to see.
Not only him, but Li Yixing returned this time, how many people have seen amazing changes, especially those who are close to each other, where can they not realize that such people who are full of spiritual aura will eventually transcend the ordinary and become legendary characters.
You must know that in today's world, ordinary people have never been in contact with spiritual substances, and the undisguised aura of this line of cultivators can still be clearly perceived.
The fat man Li Ling stepped forward at the right time and pulled Li Zhi aside:
"Good boy, I knew how to hide my cultivation aura before, but I haven't seen him for more than a year, and he is unabashed!"
Li Zhiku explained nonchalantly: "This is because many people can't reach the realm, it is difficult to send and receive by themselves, and it is inevitable that something will be revealed!" ”
Today's Li Ling has long lost his earlier obesity and has become a military temperament with a strong physique.
In the environment where all the people in the Tang Dynasty are soldiers, powerful families do not need to escape the annual recruitment of the government military system, but having a decent military status will bring a lot of convenience.
Moreover, the reason why the Tang Dynasty was strong and prosperous was inseparable from its strong military strength, and the foreign wars for many years were not unrelated to the folk martial arts, and the ranger became a trend, and even the scholars had a tradition of requiring them to know the basic skills of archery and horse riding.
Therefore, Li Ling has also become a member of the three guards of the Jingshi Su Guard, and the three guards are mostly the children of ministers and officials, and they are the children of ordinary scholars and doctors, so that they can be promoted at any time.
In fact, the big and small gentlemen in Chang'an City have a similar military status, which is the first step for the children of the officials at that time to enter the career in the future.
However, when Li Ling was old, he was willing to stay in the army for a long time, and in the future, he could parachute into a certain place and serve as a magistrate for several terms.
What's more, Li Zhi taught him the basic exercises as early as two years ago, and now he is also a second-level hunter, and his status in the army is secure.
"I don't want to know about your practice, but I always feel that the more I come into contact with it, the less confident I have! Without further ado, Ban Pu has approached me many times recently, saying that it is a group of foreigners from the south, and they dare to start stealing business with the trade city! ”
Li Zhi was surprised: "There are many major families among our partners, can they be bullied by outsiders?" Impossible, right? ”
No wonder he was stunned, not to mention the side, only across the Qixiamen archway on the overpass, there are more than a dozen facades of Princess Taiping, and the rest are the families close to him have their own affiliations.
What kind of support did those southerners find to dare to ignore the dignity of these royal families?
"Mr. Li, you don't know, it's Wu Sansi who is secretly dominant! Those southerners are so unscrupulous because they have climbed to the martial arts! Although he has never come forward in person, some forces close to him, large and small, are stationed in Sian Chay Mall openly, openly interfering with the normal purchase channels of foreign merchants! ”
Wu Sansi is the one left behind by the Wu brothers in Chang'an City, and he is also the behind-the-scenes instigator of the group of people who are created by the gossip in the market.
Sian Chay Mall is actually the second phase of the Trade City, and Li Zhi was very angry, and some people even changed their names while he was away.
"I said that you rarely follow King Xuan's side, why don't you have the timidity of the past today, and you are an entourage Ma Ben, it turns out that you have something to come!" Li Zhi said with a smile.
"It's not that Banpu is urging you to hurry, and when I learned that you were back, I rushed over, but I didn't want to meet my father and his party in front of the house!"
Li Ling's words were full of complaints.
"You don't care, I know this, some people really need to teach a lesson! Go back and tell Bamp right away, I'll go tomorrow and see who dares to steal my business!" ”
Li Zhi has a large head in the trade city station, not to mention the first-class brocade monopoly in the East Zhushan Mountain, as well as the various sales points opened here next to the Sun family.
Obviously, Wu Sansi thought that he would not appear in a short time, and even more with the deterrent power of Wu Zetian, he dared to act so recklessly.
Li Ling saw the fierceness in his eyes beyond the smile, so he put his mind at ease and quickly went back to relay it after finding an excuse.
Of course, it's not just Ban Pu who is anxious, those people from all families must also be angry, and if they want to come to Li Ling's trip, there should be a lot of people waiting.
Li Zhi chuckled, shook his head violently, and secretly said bitterly in his heart, only a few hours after he returned, and he came to the door with trouble.
The atmosphere of the dinner is still hot, but the few people who are concerned about it are also really down-to-earth.
So under the constant eye signal of King Jiancheng, King Ming proposed that the relevant people enter the study to watch the tea.
This time, Li Cheng was missing, and he had already rushed to the military garrison of his second brother Li Ling before dinner.
Including Li Zhi was also temporarily left outside, he was just happy to hold Xiang'er in his arms and tease, and it was just what he wanted to go in later.
I wanted to come to the study to discuss in full swing, anyway, it would not be peaceful, so nearly half an hour passed before the maid came to invite.
Li Zhi pushed the door and entered, and saw that the atmosphere at the scene was solemn, especially the face of King Jiancheng, who was obviously blushing after a fierce quarrel.
Now the king of Song has rushed to Luoyang City because of court affairs, and there are several kings stationed here, only the king of Jiancheng, the king of Ming, the king of Xuan, and the king of Nanjiang, who has always swayed from side to side and has no clear understanding.
Therefore, in the absence of King Song and the withdrawal of King Ming from the core government, the role of King Xuan is in the government, and almost all the military pressure is pressed on King Jian.
Therefore, it is extremely normal for this person to have such an excited reaction at the moment.
"Text, King Ming just said your opinion, I don't know if you have anything to add?"
As soon as King Jiancheng said this, Li Zhi understood, and it was obvious that he himself had been persuaded by a few people present.
So he smiled and said, "Don't you dare to supplement, where do I have that qualification!" However, I suggest that I do further research after Brother Xiaosheng returns. ”
As soon as Li Cheng goes, it is very likely that he will bring back Li Ling, and only then can he decide whether Li Zhi's proposal is feasible or not, combined with the relevant information that has been secretly arranged in the army surnamed Li.
According to Li Zhi's speculation, the reason why King Jiancheng's argument was red may be closely related to his unwillingness.
This is also not surprising, the deputy commander, who ranks first in the whole army, has been under too much pressure from all sides in recent times.
The blows against the military surnamed Li were everywhere, and it was not easy to catch a major omission under the Wu family, and he was about to let out a bad breath in his chest, but he was forcibly stopped, and the reluctance in his heart was inevitable.
In fact, it is precisely like this, Li Zhi's words are about to fall, and King Jiancheng speaks again:
"Just now my heart is on fire, I have lost some of my mind, there is no doubt that the suggestions you put forward cannot be said to be complete, but it is also the only feasible way, only in this way will the vitality be maintained to the greatest extent!"
"But in this way, it will put you in the depths of life, and all kinds of criticism that you are difficult to be a person on both sides will also follow!"
King Jiancheng laughed and said:
"Which of us stuck in Chang'an City is not riddled with criticism? Facai I also figured it out, anyway, this position of commander will be given up sooner or later, but it is better to solve it once at once this time, King Xueming and your father-in-law will retire in time, isn't it a great thing? ”
Li Zhi shook his head:
"Your old position is different, and it's impossible to give it up completely. The Queen Mother is shrewd in her heart, if it is true that the military surnamed Li occupies the border fortresses on all sides, she still expects you to supervise it in a unified manner! At most, you will be ordered to pay attention to the side of the country, and I am afraid that the position of Taifu in Jiuqing will be replaced! ”
In addition to his position in the army, King Jiancheng also has the post of the Interior Affairs Office Taishou who is in charge of the custody and cashier of the country's Qian Valley.
The old man laughed unabated:
"At present, the banner surnamed Li has not really fallen, maybe there is the so-called shrewdness of the Queen Mother in your mouth, but when the imperial power changes his surname, I am afraid that I will not be able to stay no matter what, I don't think there is any accident in this!"
The smile is still the same, but the bitterness and sourness in it are obvious, and against the backdrop of King Jian's gray hair, everyone at the scene has a hidden pain in their hearts!
