An hour later, Li Xin walked down easily, behind him, there was Shen Ruyan with her head down, a shy face, she looked at Li Xin in front of her, and there was a trace of hatred, a trace of resentment, a trace of confusion, and a trace of shyness in the depths of her eyes.

"Take care of your wife, don't be lazy." Li Xin looked at the two maids at the staircase and ordered seriously.

"Yes." The two maids didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly thought that Shen Ruyan bowed and called her Mrs.

"You live in this place first, and when the time comes, Lone will take you into the palace." Li Xin greeted Shen Ruyan and said. Since it is eaten in his mouth, Li Xin will definitely not eat it only once.

"The concubine doesn't want to enter the palace, so she wants to stay here." Shen Ruyan bit her teeth lightly, and said in a low voice, with a hint of resoluteness on her face, and said in a low voice: "The prime minister can come whenever he wants, the concubine will never enter the palace, and please forgive the prime minister." ”

Li Xin glanced at Shen Ruyan and groaned for a long time before he nodded and said, "Okay, since you don't want to, then you can't be reluctant." You stay here first, and Lone will come to see you often. Li Xin glanced at the courtyard next door, Shen Ruyan was like a hibiscus, giving people a light and elegant feeling, and the one next door was like a poppy, there was a sense of taboo, so Li Xin couldn't help but indulge in it. If you can hug the two of you together, that feeling is even more refreshing. Thinking of this, he decided to speed up Ji Gang's actions a little, so that he could enjoy this taste as soon as possible.

"Prime Minister, Li Hao of the Li family of Zhao County is waiting for the prime minister in the Wude Palace." At this time, Shen Qianqiu strode in, and behind him, there was Ji Gang, his face was much gloomy at the moment, but when he saw Shen Ruyan dressed in white. The displeasure on his face disappeared without a trace. As long as Shen Ruyan is in hand, Li Xin's eyes will fall here for a long time.

"Li Hao?" Li Xin thought of the handsome and dashing young man in his mind, when he was in Shouyang, although he was high, but in the end he saved his life, but he didn't expect to come to him at this time. During this time, he has not seen this Li Hao, not only because he is busy with state affairs, but also because he has not considered whether he needs a family as his family. There are pros and cons to this matter, in this era, the family is a force of its own, and if it is used well, it is a good thing, and it is not used well. That's the downside. For example, the current Li Yuan uses the power of the family, in the early days of the army, the people of the family such as Li Shentong, Li Xiaoji, etc. gave him a lot of help, and they trusted each other to give full play to the strength of the family. Of course, there are also disadvantages in this, and the good and bad talents of the family are not even for the time being. If you trust your family too much, you won't be trusted. Look at Li Zhao. The military power is in the hands of the Li clan, which will also discourage the enthusiasm of foreign ministers.

However, now, Li Xin decided to accept the Li clan of Zhaojun, because a dynasty cannot do without a Zongmiao, and it cannot do without a Zongzheng. From this point, Li Xin needs the Zhao Jun Li clan; Moreover, after all, the Zhaojun Li clan is one of the five surnames and seven wangs in the Kanto region, and getting the allegiance of the Zhaojun Li clan will also increase the influence of Li Xin in the Kanto.

"Go back to the palace!" Li Xin nodded and nodded to Shen Ruyan. Under the escort of Shen Qianqiu, he left the Jinyi Guard Yamen and returned to the palace.

"The villain Li Hao has seen the prime minister." As soon as he entered the Wude Palace, he saw Li Hao dressed in white and bowed to the ground.

Li Xin sighed for a while, stepped forward to personally help Li Hao up, and said: "Brother Li Shi has come from afar, Li Xin has missed the welcome, and I ask for forgiveness." Please. Li Xin looked at Li Hao in front of him, but he was thinking about how to deal with the Li family of Zhaojun in his heart.

"Prime Minister Xie." Li Hao also looked at the young and unseemly overlord of Guanzhong in front of him, in a few years, this young man has changed from a side door to the lord of Guanzhong, and soon after, he may be the lord of the world. But he is still the sister-in-law of the Li family of Zhao County, although he can also enjoy the glory and wealth, but compared with Li Xin, he can't compare with him at all.

"Brother Shi has come from afar, but Uncle Ren'an has something to order?" Li Xin said with a smile. The Ren'an in his mouth refers to Li Ren'an, the head of the Li family in Zhao County, who is not very famous, but compared to Li Shousu and others of the Li family, he is nothing at all. However, under the leadership of Li Ren'an, the Li family of Zhao County is the tiger of Zhao County, and among the five surnames and seven hopes, second only to the Cui family. The Li family of Zhaojun is also a behemoth, and among the Kanto family, it is also intrigued and intertwined, which makes Li Xin extremely jealous.

According to the news from Jinyiwei, the Li family of Zhaojun and the Cui family of Boling, the Lu family of Fanyang, the Song family of Guangping, the Xing family of Hejian, the Gao family of Bohai, etc., formed an in-law relationship, speaking of which, the Li family of Zhaojun even has another relationship with Li Xin, and the daughter of Li Xizong of the Li family of Zhaojun married Gao Yang, Emperor Wenxuan of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and became the queen, and she also has some blood relationship with Li Xin.

"The prime minister is serious. Although the prime minister was born in Shouyang, but the Li family of Shouyang is also a member of the Li family of Zhaojun, this time Li Hao came to meet the prime minister on the order of the patriarch, just to invite the prime minister to return to the sect, the patriarch is old, and he can no longer be in charge of the family's affairs, and all the elders in the clan want to invite the prime minister to be the head of the family. Li Hao said in a low voice. There is no dissatisfaction in the words, you must know that according to reason, the patriarch of the Li clan of Zhao County in the future will also fall on Li Hao, but now because of Li Xin's status, the Li family of Zhao County will naturally not let Li Xin be an ordinary person. That's a big joke.

"Let me be the patriarch?" Although Li Xin had been prepared, at this time, Li Hao really said it, which surprised him, and finally said with a smile: "Aren't you afraid that Gu will completely master the Li clan of Zhao County?" ”

"Since the prime minister is the patriarch, the Li family is naturally in the hands of the prime minister." Li Hao said without hesitation. The combination of the two, although Li Xin can get some cheap, but the real development is the Li family of Zhao County, the Li family can become the first family in the world, among the Li family, most of them are princes, county kings, and the lowest is also the prince of the country, which is much more noble than a family. Why was the Bohai Gao clan able to dominate the entire Kanto family back then, wasn't it because the Gao clan was once a royal family?

"You're so calculating! The lonely country is busy, where is the time to take care of the affairs of the clan, and there are so many clansmen in the Li clan of Zhaojun, and the lonely must take care of them one by one, how many thrones will the lonely give in the future, and how many dukes of the country will be given in the future? How much burden will the imperial court bear? Brother Li Shi has counted it? And Lone also knows that Li Shousu is now working in Li Shimin's literature museum! He also wants to submit to me? Li Xin said with a smile: "Turning the family into a country, really speaking, you can't get anything cheap by being alone!" ”

"Prime Minister, outsiders are always more trustworthy than their families." Li Hao's face was slightly red, and he said hesitantly. He also felt that he had taken a lot of advantage. Don't talk about Li Shousu, when Li Shimin entered Hebei, the five surnames and seven wangs of the Kanto region sent people to join Li Yuan's court. No wonder Li Xin is still a little hesitant now.

"Don't forget the Li family in Shouyang." Li Xin said very calmly, he would never believe this sentence, sometimes, the family is more terrifying than outsiders, he wants to satisfy the Li family of Zhaojun, and he doesn't know how much he has to pay, but if he wants to satisfy those ministers, it is very simple, fame and fortune can be done. If these family members don't get it right, they will still want their own Jiangshan Sheji, so Li Xin believes these people at all.

Li Hao's face showed a slight embarrassment, he knew about the Li family in Shouyang, but he also heard it, although Li Xin objected, he did not completely refuse, but he was worried that the entire Li family in Zhao County was too big, the big one made Li Xin unable to eat, and the big one made Li Xin feel uneasy. The shopkeeper is a bully, this kind of thing has not happened before, now Li Xin only has a few sons, and the sons have not grown up yet, if something happens to Li Xin, no one knows if these clans will do anything.

"Prime Minister, the Li clan of Zhaojun will definitely not be the Li clan of Shouyang." Li Hao said seriously.

"Wait!" Li Xin thought for a while and said to Li Hao: "No matter what happens in the future, Brother Li Shi helped him back then, and when he comes to Chang'an again in the coming year, this king will definitely thank Brother Li again." ”

Li Xin didn't say anything, Li Hao also understood the meaning of Li Xin's words, that is, he was just the sister-in-law of the Li family of Zhao County, if Li Xin was an ordinary person, his identity would naturally be enough, but unfortunately Li Xin was the lord of a country, not an ordinary person, Li Hao came here, I'm afraid this qualification is not enough. I'm afraid that Li Ren'an needs to come in person, and no matter how bad it is, Li Shousu must come.

Li Hao was silent when he heard this, Li Xin did not force the Li family to join the camp in Guanzhong, after joining, Li Xin's power has certainly risen sharply, and he can even get a foothold in Kanto, but the price Li Xin paid is too much. Many princes are enough to increase the burden of the imperial court, and the Li family is not like Li Yuan's subordinates, there are many talents, Li Shentong, Li Xiaoji, Li Daoguang and so on have made a hummer for Li Yuan. What did the Li family give Li Xin before or now, just thinking about taking advantage?

In the end, it is a figure who created a generation of empires, and wants to fool Li Xin with an empty patriarchal position, that is an insult to him, Li Hao sighed in his heart, and the people of the Li family still underestimated Li Xin's wisdom. If you don't pay something, the Li family of Zhaojun will not get Li Xin at all, let alone the title of the first family in the world.

Li Hao said goodbye to Li Xin, and did not stay in Chang'an City, but quickly went to Hebei, he wanted to tell Li Ren'an what he saw and heard in Chang'an, the glory of the five surnames and seven hopes could not affect Li Xin, and if he wanted to get it, he had to pay. It's almost impossible to fool Li Xin. (To be continued......)
