On the eighth day of June in the seventh year of Zhenguan, Li Ke, the king of Shu, wrote to the imperial court, saying: There are four surnames of Shandong Cui, Lu, Li and Zheng, although they are tired of Ye Ling, they still rely on their old land, so that they are self-conscious, called scholars, every time they marry a woman of other clans, they will ask for a wide range of money, and the more is precious. He praised it very much, and thought it was true, and told the world that the "Clan Chronicles" would be redefined in the name of the regulations, and Li Ke, the king of Shu, would return to Beijing to take charge of his affairs. As soon as this edict came out, the government and the opposition shook, and the families of the gate lords were panicked, most of the people ran between the courts, especially the door of the king of Shu, especially if the city was even worse, however, since the king of Shu arrived in Beijing in mid-July, he did not see any guests, and only summoned the secretary of the Ministry of Shangshu Gao Shilian, the imperial historian Wei Ting, the Zhongshu Shilang Cen text, and the Ministry of Rites Lang Lang Linghu Dedi and other important ministers of the court to enter the palace to discuss matters, and the world did not know why.

Rebuilding the "Chronicles of the Clan" is exactly the idea that Li Zhen gave Li Ke, which involves the face of the Li Tang royal family - Li Tang's true bloodline is unknown, and there have been many disputes among various families since ancient times, some say that Li Tang is naturalized by the Hu people, and some say that Li Tang is a side branch of the Li family in Longxi, there are different opinions, but it is an indisputable fact that Li Tang has Xianbei blood, but well, the Li Tang royal family has always called itself the Li family of Longxi, and the ancestor of the chase is Lao Tzu Li Er. Longxi Li in the Han Dynasty had a flying general Li Guang and other famous generals, can be described as a long-standing gate valve, in the early Sui Dynasty is also regarded as one of the world's most powerful families, but it is such a brilliant gate valve, in the early Sui Dynasty revised "Clan Chronicles" only ranked in the poor third class, but also called "camel Li", even if Li Tang has been passed down two generations of emperors, but in the eyes of the so-called "scholars" in Longxi Li is still a small gate valve that is not in the stream, together with the Shandong Wang clan even ashamed of marrying with the Li Tang royal family, This made the Li Tang royal family extremely dissatisfied.

After the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, most of the Shandong scholars who were extremely prosperous in the past were not exempt from poverty, but after all, they are all hundreds of years of history and prestige, so at this time their "name" is still "written in the state", after the loss of political privileges of the famous family, the reputation is even louder, this is because for many small and medium-sized gate valves, marriage between the scholars is the only way to show off their noble blood, taking advantage of the "economic crisis" of these famous families, Tempting famous families to marry with money and wealth, and at the same time, the group of scholars and scholars were self-respecting and demanded dowry gifts and goods in the process of marriage, so it became the custom of "selling marriage" among the scholars in Shandong.

Li Shimin has angrily denounced the shamelessness of Shandong Gate Valve on many occasions, but the actual effect is unsatisfactory, Shandong Gate Valve is still arrogant, and the people of the time are still proud of marrying Shandong Wang, that is, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, Li Tao These lords are also eager to go, but because of these so-called Wang Clan, there are many people who read poetry and books, and they have a great influence on the government and the opposition, Li Shimin has repeatedly wanted to rectify it ruthlessly, but they have all failed for various reasons, so "Clan Chronicles" is really one of Li Shimin's heart diseases, This is also the most important reason why Li Ke was recognized by Li Shimin as soon as he published the book.

A copy of "Clan Chronicles" can change the status quo of arrogance of famous families? It's completely impossible! At least in Li Zhen's opinion, it is impossible, according to Li Zhen's thoughts, if you really want to change the status quo of the arrogant and arrogant of the famous family, instead of wasting time on that bullshit "Clan Chronicle", it is better to step up the education of the people, open the wisdom of the people, and there are more people who read, and the "knowledge" possessed by those famous families will be worthless, and at that time, the so-called "fame" established by the famous family by virtue of the "knowledgeable and reasonable" people in the clan will naturally devalue significantly, and it will be much easier to clean up, isn't it? Of course, it is clear that Li Zhen will not say these opinions, the reason why he gave Li Ke and his gang this idea, its intention is just to create a situation of three kingdoms, as for whether Li Ke can successfully revise the "Clan Chronicles", whether he can get Li Shimin's favor again with this book, Li Zhen does not care at all, no, when Li Ke returned to Beijing, Li Zhen began the journey of secretly accumulating strength.

Money, Li Zhen has, although since the beginning of the year, due to the saturation of the market, coupled with the many followers, the profits of the new furniture have been much worse than before, but Li Zhen has long been full, and the expenses on weekdays are not large, more than two years, the money has long been too much to count, although it is not rich to rival the country, but it is easy to take out a hundred thousand, eighty thousand or eighty thousand, it is easy to do things with money, and it is easy to do things while the attention of the big guys is transferred to the "Clan Chronicles", Li Zhen gave Yan Ming the task of establishing a secret force, and began the cultivation of the secret force in line with the principle of not seeking speed but seeking stability - first, taking advantage of the disaster in Shanxi, the Yan family came forward to buy a group of orphans from Shanxi who were not old and talented, and hired a master of literature and martial arts to teach this group of children according to their aptitude, and formed a rule, and every year the Yan family came forward to buy back some children for training; Second, with the branches of the Yan family stationed in various places as the backbone, the prototype of an intelligence agency called "Rising Sun" was secretly established, and information from various places began to be collected and sorted; Third, in the Beijing Division, he began to slowly infiltrate those small officials who had no background, and as for the placement of people in the mansions of his brothers, he proceeded slowly, and everything was done on a safe basis.

The operation of establishing the dark land force is very smooth, with the help of the Yan family, all the actions have not gone wrong, and it has not attracted the attention of others, but a troublesome thing has come out again - the establishment of the dark land force is easy to say, but the money is like running water, no, it has only been more than two months, Li Zhen was depressed to find that the establishment of the secret force is simply a big hole to burn money, and the 50,000 yuan prepared in front of the head is about to bottom out in the blink of an eye. This is still because the Yan family has helped a lot, otherwise I am afraid that it would have been overdrawn a long time ago, and this money is really unspent!

Li Zhen has money and money, but it's not a way to toss like this, right? You can't lose all the money, right? Li Zhen is still counting on a lot of money to enjoy the glory and wealth, if he spends all the money for self-protection, then what is it, it is better to do nothing at the beginning, and honestly point to the prince's fortune to live, right? There is no trick, seeing that the profits of new furniture are getting thinner and thinner, Li Zhen had no choice but to start the book distribution in advance - the holy decree said that it would be completed before August 15, in fact, as early as mid-June, the 6,000 books customized by the imperial court were printed, but Li Zhen always held this matter in his hands, originally planned to wait for Li Ke to return to Beijing and move before throwing it out, taking advantage of the fact that the big guy's attention was on the "Clan Chronicles" to reduce the impact of printing, after all, Li Zhen did not plan to rely on this thing to become famous all over the world- For Li Zhen, it is a good thing to make a fortune in a muffled voice, but Li Ke is stunned and does not appreciate his face, since he returned to Beijing, more than a month has passed, but he has never seen him move, which makes Li Zhen feel uncomfortable, and in desperation, he can only move first.

The move is moving, but there is no response, the book is on, the sample book is also given, but several days have passed, not to mention that no one in the Ministry of Rites has come to accept, that is, the old man has never heard a sound, seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, but Li Zhen is in a hurry, but he didn't have the courage to run to ask the old man, so he had to be patient and wait for the news, wait, wait, wait for the time when he wants to wear it, so he is looking forward to the holy decree - Li Zhen, the king of Han, has contributed to Sheji, sealed 300 households, rewarded thousands of dollars, and has a palace of the king, and is allowed to open the mansion.

Wow, it's good to open the house, it's finally mixed with the prince of the Eight Classics, isn't it? But Li Zhen was so happy, and he didn't think about the root cause, as soon as he received the holy decree, he even forgot to notify the old lady, and immediately went to the Ministry of Labor to go through the formalities, and went straight to his own palace with a roar.

Located in the South Street of the Han Dynasty Mansion is a new house, the paint has not yet dried up, so new look is refreshing, not to mention the pair of mighty stone lions at the door, not to mention the pavilions and pavilions in the high-walled courtyard exquisite atmosphere, just say that the back garden full of green trees and flowers made Li Zhen smile so that his mouth could not close, the palace was blind for a while, how could not see enough, be careful that the liver was so beautiful that it was bubbling, stunned until the sky was almost dark, and then reluctantly went back to the palace. As soon as I entered the door, before I sat down, I saw Liu Dequan walking in with a thick stack of red invitations, and said respectfully: "Your Highness, all the houses have sent invitations, and attached a gift list, to congratulate the prince for opening the mansion, and ask the prince to take a look." "At a glance, heh, it was all sent by a group of brothers, and they all came with a gift list, and the gifts were all heavy, even the prince also sent a jade Ruyi as a congratulatory gift.

The gift is good, I took it all according to the order, we are short of money at this time, the banquet, I won't go at all, grandma's, in addition to trying to win us over, how can these birds save any kindness, it's not a fucking thing. Li Zhen naturally knew the true intention of a group of brothers to give gifts and treats, seeing that the palace was in hand, he could start his own rich life immediately, he didn't want to get involved in the battle for succession, the brothers' banquet naturally didn't want to go, but there had to be a reason not to go, right? If you accidentally become the target of the public, then the fun will be great, Li Zhen pondered for a while, and waved his hand with a smile: "Gonggong Liu, I went back to the palaces, and said that this king got the palace, and since this king should be the east, it will be set on the first day of September, and all the brothers are invited to the palace as guests. ”

Yes, what others gave were precious things such as jewelry, but Li Zhen took some local products that he made up as a gift in return, and Li Zhen did these things, Liu Dequan was dumbfounded, and looked at Li Zhen stupidly, with a face full of words and stops, Li Zhen was funny for a while, but he didn't bother to explain, just smiled and said: "Father-in-law Liu just goes, this king has his own opinions." Lao Liu Shousheng swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, answered "yes" with difficulty, and hurried to arrange not to mention it.

Fuck it, these gang of heirs don't seem to be dead set on us, so they have to think of a way to make them completely dead, so they don't have to toss with us all day long. This idea is not easy to think, Li Zhen thought about it for most of the time and didn't come up with an accurate idea, just when she was irritable, a small palace maid flashed in from outside the room, saying that Concubine Yan had an invitation, yes, the old lady has something to explain, so don't you hurry up? Li Zhen didn't care about thinking anymore, and hurriedly rushed to the room where Concubine Yan lived.

"The child knocks on his mother." As soon as Li Zhen walked into Concubine Yan's room, she immediately kowtowed respectfully to say goodbye.

Concubine Yan looked at Li Zhen silently for a while, but she never spoke, but her eyes gradually turned red. The child is old and is going to fly solo, which is a good thing, but looking at Li Zhen's immature face, Rao is Concubine Yan is usually very calm, and at this time, she can't help but shed tears in a stirring mood, and her heart is full of joy and sorrow, and all the tastes are mixed together.

Seeing Concubine Yan's sadness, Li Zhen didn't know how to comfort her for a while, her eyes turned red, and she said with her support: "Mother, the child lives close, and it is easy to go back to ......the palace to ask for peace."

Before Li Zhen finished speaking, Concubine Yan got up, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, touched Li Zhen's head and said, "Zhen'er doesn't have to comfort her mother, your mother knows that you are a filial child, and your mother is happy." After a pause, he continued: "Zhen'er, according to the law of the Tang Dynasty, the prince can only open a mansion when he is eight years old, you know this, but what are your plans now?" ”

Oh, yes, I was patronizing and having fun in front of my head, I forgot about this stubble, damn, what is the old man doing here? violated the Tang law set by himself in a good manner, is there still a cat here? Li Zhen was stunned for a moment when she heard this, but when she thought about it, she remembered that her own merits were enough to open the mansion, and it was just a little early, so she didn't think much about it, and said with a smile: "Mother, the child will obey the orders of the mother, learn from the two masters, and serve the court and the cultivation of his father in the future." ”

Li Zhen's words have two meanings: first, the opening of the mansion will return to the opening of the mansion, and the study will not be put down; Second, no matter how the other brothers make trouble, he, Li Zhen, only watches the play and will never participate. Concubine Yan is a smart person, so she naturally understands the meaning of Li Zhen's words, but in Concubine Yan's opinion, Li Zhen's words did not answer the point, and she had the heart to mention it, but at this time, the palace maids and eunuchs were all around, and Concubine Yan didn't want to make such a big move as retreating, so she couldn't say it too clearly, and said in a deep voice: "Zhen'er, Erneng Kaifu is definitely due to the favor of the saint, but it is not good to violate Tang Law." ”

Well? What does the old lady mean by this, is it telling us to resign from the table? It's not like it.,If that's the case.,The old lady won't say it like this.,Well.,Open the house? Could it be that the old lady means that the government will not be built? Ha, that's what it means, well, we didn't plan to make a fuss in the first place, it's true to make a lot of money in a muffled voice, hehe, if we don't build a government for the time being, first, to show that we have no intention of participating in the seizure of the heir, and second, we can also use this excuse to shirk the brothers' wooing, third, it's also full of the old man's face, and besides, even if we want to appoint subordinate officials, we are not in a hurry, hey, rather lack than abuse, if you really want to recruit younger brothers, you have to pick some real materials, isn't it? Oh, the old lady is really a wonderful person, worthy of being killed in the palace, interesting! Li Zhen's mind moved quickly, and she secretly thought about it for a while, and she already fully understood Concubine Yan's hints, and immediately said with a smile: "What the mother concubine said is that although the child was favored by his father and the emperor to open the mansion, after all, he is still young, and this matter of building a government should be talked about in the future. ”

Seeing that Li Zhen was a little clear, Concubine Yan's face showed a smile of approval, and she touched Li Zhen's head again lovingly, and said with a smile: "Zhen'er, it's not too early, let's go and rest early, Ming'er is still busy with moving, let's go." ”

Li Zhen glanced at Concubine Yan gratefully, responded respectfully, turned around and strode out of the door, looking at Li Zhen's more and more sturdy back, Concubine Yan sighed softly, and tears couldn't help but flow down again......
