Chapter 707 The embarrassed martial arts family

In Li Xian's memory, there doesn't seem to be a man in the martial arts family in history who can really put himself on the table.

It may be that Zhong Xiu, who has been in the martial arts family for many years, has all been focused on the martial queen, so whether it is before or after the birth of such a strong and capable character, there are dozens of men up and down the martial family, and there are dozens of men up and down the martial family, and none of them are really promising. Otherwise, even if Empress Wu hated her half-brothers, cousins and the like, in line with the principle of cronyism, at least a few capable appointments would be selected.

It's just that with the death of her mother Yang, and the few people she hated the most in the past are basically dead, and the rest are the younger generation, and the Empress Wu is too lazy to worry about the Wu family anymore. In addition, she has shown the world that she does not appoint her own family members with the spirit of selflessness, and now if she still presses people in that kind of poor country, it will inevitably seem too unkind.

Therefore, on the occasion of Li Zhi's birthday before, she recalled her nephews and gave them official positions ranging from seven to six grades one by one - of course, all of them were idle positions. And such a measure has attracted praise from many people. Give vanity and not real power, the queen is honest and virtuous!

The martial queen is virtuous, and the juniors of the martial arts family who were able to return to Luoyang are also grateful to Dade. After staying in a poor and remote place full of miasma for so many years, no matter how arrogant the temperament, no matter how violent the temper was, and how sharp the edges and corners were, it has long been smoothed out now. Whether to choose to suffer with your head held high, or to bow your head and enjoy happiness, the answer is undoubtedly very simple.

Because of the proper service of the Yang family, the wife of Rongguo, in the past, he later inherited the title of Duke of Zhou. Wu Sansi naturally became the leader of a group of martial arts children. After all, he has enjoyed a few more years of happiness than these cousins and cousins, and he not only has a pampered and well-behaved style in his gestures, but also speaks slowly and logically with the atmosphere of a superior, which makes several young cousins quite envious. And an old man like Wu Chengsi has an idea in his heart. But naturally it will not be shown on the face.

"All of us can have today, naturally thanks to my aunt's kindness."

After talking about the old love for a long time. Wu Sansi suddenly came out with such a sentence, and seeing that everyone around him almost nodded in unison, but the magnitude was different, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart. Seemingly. Through the ordeal. He is not alone in knowing how to behave in the world. However, just as he was about to propose another major event that had been planned for a long time, a voice came out of the crowd next to him.

"Since my cousin is now the Duke of Zhou, he should also try to find a good position in the court. We, brothers, are still counting on our cousins' shadows. ”

As soon as these words came out, echoes suddenly emerged one after another. At the same time, some people can't help but complain that their colleagues are not polite at all when they see their place, those who are lower than their official positions even put on arrogant faces, and even younger ones point out angrily. When drinking in a wine shop, someone dared to rob the woman who accompanied the wine with him.

The commotion didn't last long, and almost at the same time, both hands slammed on the table at the same time. One of them, of course, is Wu Sansi, and the other is Wu Chengsi.

Wu Sansi didn't expect Wu Chengsi to suddenly make such a move. Immediately glanced over there. Seeing that he owed something, he coldly reprimanded: "You have just returned to Luoyang. Where did so much dissatisfaction come from? With the grace of Empress Taishang, I have this duke title of Zhou State, as for the official position, it is based on ability! Your official positions are also given by the Empress Taishang, why should colleagues be friendly and subordinates respect? ”

"Still robbing women with people in wine shops?" He suddenly raised his voice and patted his chest bitterly, "Do you know that when I was young and ignorant, I had a conflict with my noble cousin on the Ankang Building, and what happened in the end!" My father, your father, all of them have been demoted and released, have you all forgotten! Don't think that you can show off your martial arts in the name of a martial artist, relatives are just relatives after all, don't forget that Your Majesty and courtiers can't rub sand in their eyes! ”

The few people below who had just shouted the most were suddenly silent, and Wu Chengsi couldn't help but stare at Wu Sansi in surprise for a while. He is also ambitious but gloomy and introverted, and he is very dissatisfied with Wu San's skillful and gentle approach to becoming the Duke of Zhou, but now after listening to these words, he knows that it is not a fluke that this person can stand out.

After all, among them, only Wu Sansi had offended Li Xian fiercely back then, but in the end, it turned out that this person became the Duke of Zhou Guogong, and it was absolutely not enough to be good at drilling.

Next, Wu Sansi used a big phone call to wash the brains of all the martial arts disciples again. It is undeniable that his experience in Kyoto for four or five years has been in vain, and he has not been able to find any flaws in his words without quoting scriptures. Even if others spread the words to the ears of Empress Wu, it would not cause any problems.

After a long time, this joint conference of martial arts children was finally over. Although most of the time it was only Wu Sansi who was speaking, he basically reached a few points - first, to keep a low profile; Second, the servant should be submissive, and it should be submissive from the heart. Third, wait until the winter solstice, and everyone will go back to the ancestral tomb of the Taiyuan martial arts family to worship and sweep.

After agreeing on three points, everyone dispersed. Until they walked out of the door, there were still many people looking back at the gorgeous Zhou State Mansion in Jidefang - it originally belonged to Yang Su, the first minister of the Great Sui, and then belonged to the Yang family, the wife of Rongguo, and now, the owner here has become Wu Sansi. Although this mansion no longer occupies the entire Jide Fang, but has shrunk a lot, it is already much more luxurious than the houses in their family.

Wu Chenghe, who went out, did not go home, but crossed the Xinzhong Bridge, went directly to Dingdingmen Street along Luoshui, and stopped at the residence of the emperor's brother in Xiuwenfang. Although he came back before the birthday of the emperor, he had only met Empress Wu once, and he had not yet had the opportunity to meet his cousin. Even when the Wu family was still proud in the past, he had only met Li Xian a few times from afar, and he was not impressed.

Today, however, it's all different. Although his aunt still stands at the top of the Tang Dynasty, everyone knows that Li Xian's influence on her is unmatched. Moreover, no one can ignore the status of its prince. Based on his understanding of human nature, he can conclude that the conflict with Wu Sansi when he was a child, Li Xian will never forget it easily.

Of course, he didn't come to dismantle the cousin of Zhou Guogong, he just wanted to plan his future.

The hottest summer has passed, and the most intense discussion has now come to an end for the time being, although it is not enough to shake the foundation of the military system, but at least it has been decided to implement the recruitment system in Qiuzi Town, that is, the garrison of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, with standing troops, rather than the temporary border troops in the past to be responsible for suppressing the overall situation in the Western Regions. Xue Rengui couldn't be idle at all, he had already rolled up his sleeves and prepared for a deal, and he definitely looked old and strong.

As for the rest...... Other things have been postponed for the time being, because the next preparations are for the twenty-fifth birthday of His Majesty the Tang Emperor.

Li Xian didn't pay much attention to every Friday's birthday, that is, after the reminders of his wife, he found out that Li Hong had never celebrated his birthday after he ascended the throne, at first because he was not in good health, then he was messing up other things, and then he simply reduced expenses from top to bottom. And every Friday's birthday is also quite important in this year, so he and a group of officials, and after discussing it with his father and mother, he decided to celebrate it in November this year.

Li Hong had no choice but to agree, but there was still one thing, and it was not allowed to be extravagant and wasteful. For this reason, Li Xian had to make an urgent plan at home on this day - otherwise, if he asked someone from the household department to do this, it would definitely be a huge number in the end. He has a very budget-conscious housekeeper Xu Yan at home, and it's just right to do this.

At this moment, he was holding his daughter Li Chen, who had come up hard, and his trouser legs were grabbed by the other two daughters, but his ears had to listen to Xu Yan report the numbers one by one, and there were still people feeding pieces of peeled melons in his mouth, which could be described as painful and happy. Just as he was calculating the expenses, he suddenly heard Qu Tushenruo talking to someone, and suddenly turned his head strangely.

"What's the matter?"

"One of your cousins asks to see you."

Cousin? He Li Xian has so many cousins, who will come to the door? Li Xian was even more confused when he heard this, and when he saw Qu Tu Shen Ruo smiling and groaning, he knew that it must be nothing good, so he raised his eyebrows: "Shen Ruo, don't sell Guanzi, who is it?" ”

"It's Wu Chenghei."

Qu Tushen saw Li Xian's strange face, so he shrugged his shoulders and said: "If you don't want to see me, let people send him away, anyway, I don't think you are very close to those people in the martial family, even the queen mother seems to ignore them." This is the first one, and a lot of other people have to come to the door, and it's really troublesome. It's just that it's the first time for people to come, so they might as well be polite. ”

All these words of refusal or permission were said by Qu Tushenruo, what else did Li Xian have to say? Although he remembered in his heart that this was an ambitious guy, but now it is no longer that history that everyone is familiar with, so what is he afraid of Wu Chenghe? Gently pinching the little face of his daughter in his hand, he said lazily: "See you as soon as you see it, lead people to the side hall, and let him wait for a quarter of an hour before I go, so that people don't think I'm very idle as a prince." ”

Hearing this, Qu Tushenruo immediately ordered, but Helan Yan on the side couldn't help muttering: "The Wu family doesn't have a good thing, why do you see that kind of person!" Just like Wu Sansi, I don't think I had bad intentions towards Hamiel at the beginning? ”

For Helan Yan to be able to keep such a little thing in mind until now, Li Xian was really helpless, so he could only pout and signal his two daughters to comfort him. Sure enough, when the two little girls pounced on her mother together, Helan Yan suddenly smiled, and suddenly forgot what had just happened.
