Chapter 071 Stalking

?? Jing Tian didn't feel that his ancestor was perverted, and still praised it in a proud tone, "Especially after the Confucian Chamber of Commerce was taken away by Emperor Taizu, the old lord was even more firm in this idea." ”

Wang Qifang twitched the corners of her mouth, supported her cheek with her right hand, and looked at Li Jingtian helplessly, listening to him continue to tell the BT deeds of the ancestors of the Li family.

"The old lord first set up a family rule, that is, the children and grandchildren of the Li family are not allowed to fight, if any unworthy descendant disregards the brother's affection and abuses his scheming for the title of Duke of Fuguo or the position of the leader of the Chivalrous League, other descendants can report it, and once it is verified, the unscrupulous son who disregards family affection will be driven out of the Li family."

When Wang Qifang heard this, he nodded, "Well, the old lord is very wise, many big families have fallen, not because they have suffered much external blows, but because the descendants of the clan have not stopped fighting and fighting for themselves, causing trouble and eventually leading to the decline of the family." ”

Li Jingtian's eyes lit up, and he said approvingly: "Qi Niang can think of this, and she is also an understanding person." Hehe, that's right, the ancestor is aware of this, so he deliberately noted this on the clan rules. In addition, each generation of the Li family in Pingzhou has to select two heirs. ”

"Two?" Wang Qifang sat up straight, pulled out the hand holding her chin, and guessed: "Could it be that these two people want to do the two things prescribed by the ancestors separately?" "One heir goes to rebel, and the other inherits the official status of the Li family and maintains relations with the imperial court?!

"Hehe, Qi Niang is really smart." Li Jingtian nodded approvingly again, he knew that his wife was a smart woman, but he still didn't expect her to be so transparent, she could understand everything, and some words didn't need to be too straightforward, she would understand.

The corners of his mouth rose in an arc, and Li Jingtian continued: "The old lord has explained that the descendants of the Li family, regardless of their descendants, as long as they have the ability, courage, and courage, they may become the heirs of the Li family. However, the old lord is not a ruthless person, he also thought that the children and grandchildren who were sent to 'raise things' would harm the whole family once they failed, even if they did not implicate the people of the Guogong Mansion, then his branch was very likely to be wiped out by the imperial court. Therefore, the Li family, who is selected by each generation to 'raise things', will quietly leave an eldest son and pass it on to the heir to the prince who inherits the title of Duke of Fuguo, so as to ensure the reproduction of the family's bloodline. ”

Well? What else is that? Wang Qifang raised her eyebrows, and spoke in her heart, what is this, compensation or leave a spark to continue the rebellion?

This is not difficult to understand, take Li Jingtian's fathers as an example, in their generation, the Li family has a total of four sons, the grandfather of the old country selected two heirs according to the family rules, the eldest lord Li Yuanfeng is the officially recognized son, and the fourth lord Li Yuanheng is a rebel secretly cultivated by the Li family.

First of all, in order to ensure that the family was not implicated, the grandfather of the old country casually found an excuse and expelled Li Yuanheng's family, but quietly left Li Yuanheng's eldest son Li Jingtian and raised him under Li Yuanfeng's name.

Then, with the support of his family, Li Yuanheng worked hard to develop his power, and finally decided to launch a coup d'état in the capital to shake the rule of Wu Zhou, but unfortunately the operation failed, and Li Jingtian was left alone in the entire fourth room.

Subsequently, Li Jingtian, as the only son of the fourth house, undisputedly inherited the dark forces left by Li Yuanheng, and even inherited the legacy of his deceased father, and carried out the rebellion to the end.

If it weren't for Li Jingyun's success, Li Jingtian might have passed his eldest son to a cousin, and then was expelled from the house by the Li family and continued to fight with the Wu Zhou Dynasty to the end.

However, this time Wang Qifang guessed wrong, and while she was tilting her head and pondering, Li Jingtian revealed a big secret again, "According to the family rules, I passed on to the uncle, but the uncle remembered the tragedy of my father's death, and couldn't bear to let me take another risk, so he chose another heir and asked Jingyun to 'raise things' on my behalf." Of course, according to the clan rules, Jingyun also passed on his eldest son to me, and that is Brother Heng. ”

Wang Qifang's eyes widened and she said in surprise: "What? Brother Heng is not your son, but Li Jingyun's eldest son. But, isn't he already in the north and has established himself as the king, why would he still leave his son in the Li family? ”

No wonder Li Jingtian didn't tell her in advance that he had a son, it turned out that this Li Qingheng was not his son at all, so in Li Jingtian's subconscious, there was no concept of a son at all.

"Ancestor said that you must prepare for everything with both hands. At that time, we didn't expect Jingyun to succeed, so we still left him an heir according to the clan rules. ”

Speaking of this, Li Jingtian glanced at Wang Qifang with complicated eyes, and said secretly, in fact, Jingyun chose to cause trouble in the north, and he really entrusted Wang Qifang's blessing. If she hadn't reminded herself that there was a lot of room for development in the eastern Liaodong region, their Li family really didn't think of establishing the Li dynasty in the north.

Although it failed to completely overthrow the rule of the Wu Zhou Dynasty, the establishment of the Northern Tang Dynasty still broke the pattern of Wu Zhou's domination of the world, and buried a thorn in the heart of the emperor of Wu Zhou. It is believed that as long as the Northern Tang Dynasty is guarding the north of the Yellow River, the emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty will not dare to exterminate the Fuguo Mansion.

Especially a few months ago, the Li family successfully escaped from danger in the capital, which confirmed the previous speculation. In the face of the increasingly powerful Northern Tang Dynasty, Emperor Longqing retreated and reluctantly let Li Jingtian's family go.

In this way, it can be regarded as achieving the ideal goal of the ancestors, and Li Jingtian's family mission has also been successfully completed. Since then, he can finally live a peaceful and happy life like an ordinary person.

"Well, I see." Wang Qifang picked up the teapot and refilled some tea for Li Jingtian and herself, and said softly: "Since Brother Heng is raised under our name, I will treat him well." ”

"Even if I give him the position of the son, you are willing?"

Li Jingtian picked up the teacup, took a deep breath, smelled the refreshing fragrance of tea, and said casually.

"Shizi?" Wang Qifang laughed out loud and said indifferently: "Yes, he is your eldest son, and it is even more logical to inherit your title, why am I unwilling." ”

Li Jingtian smiled silently, slowly sipping the tea, but secretly made up his mind in his heart.

The two drank a pot of tea in the villa, chatted for a while, and saw that the sun was slowly setting in the west, so they got up and went down the mountain, drove for more than an hour to the official road, intercepted a carriage, and returned to Pingzhou City in front of the gate of the city.

After entering the city, the two saw that it was still early and a little hungry, so they got out of the carriage and came to a clean restaurant, found a seat near the window, ordered a few dishes, and the couple chatted quietly while eating.

It is now dusk, and the number of customers in the restaurant is gradually increasing, and the sound of chatting, talking and laughing is wafting throughout the lobby.

"Hey, have you heard, there is news from the Guogong Mansion again." The drinker A stabbed and drank the wine in the glass, and said gossipingly.

"Hey, isn't it that Young Master Li is going to take a concubine, what's this, I heard about it yesterday." Drinker B was very disdainful of Drinker A's behavior of using history as news, pursed the corners of his lips, and sneered.

"Hey, I still don't know about this?" Hearing the disdain in the tone of his drinking friend, Drinker A glanced at him unhappily, and said, "I'm talking about another news, do you know that the eldest lady Cui has a niece?" is the eldest lady of the Cui family, and her name is Yun Niang Yu Niang's little lady. ”

"You know, wasn't she sent back to Cui's house by the eldest lady." Guogongfu is the emperor of Pingzhou, and the people of Pingzhou are particularly concerned about the affairs of their house, from the masters to the interesting stories of the masters, to the jokes made by the old Li Tou who watched the corner door at the back door, and the idlers in the market almost knew it.

"Hey, you're not happy to say that your news is blocked, when is this happening, are you embarrassed to take it out?" Drinker A finally seized the opportunity to count down his drinking friends, unceremoniously despised drinker B, and threw a piece of red meat into his mouth, dragging it and saying: "Just now, the little lady of the Cui family returned to Li's house with a group of subordinates with great fanfare." ”

"What? Back to Li's house? What is she doing when she goes back to Li's house? Could it be that the eldest young master doesn't want to marry her, and she still has to fight to the death? ”

"Hehe, I don't understand, a few days ago, when the grandfather of the country was in trouble, the little lady of the Cui family followed the eldest lady to the capital, and accompanied the eldest lady to stay in the capital for so long, if it wasn't for what the eldest lady promised her, why did the little lady who was not out of the cabinet go to the capital with such a big crime?"

The drinker lowered his head and pretended to be mysterious, "If you want me to say, it must be the Cui family who took the initiative to break away from the Li family when the grandfather of the country was in trouble, which made the Li family angry, so he deliberately made an excuse, saying that the young master Li has a strange life, and the little lady of the Cui family has a shallow Buddha fate, and she has ruined the opportunity for the Li family and the Cui family to marry again." ”

"It's impossible, when the Li family had an accident, many families drew a clear line with the Li family, not just the Cui family. The new young grandmother, isn't her mother's family also disconnected from the Li family? I think there may be something else going on here. ”

Drinker B still trusts the impartiality of the Li family, and thinks that the dignified Guogong Mansion will not be so small-bellied.

"How could it not be? I heard that the young grandmother is not a person with a Buddha fate, she is clearly a broom star, a brother of the mother, if it weren't for her eldest brother invited a monk who had attained the Tao and lost her life span of ten years to help the Wang family change her life, the Wang family would have died a long time ago. ”

The news of the wine guest A was really well-informed, he approached the drinking friend again, and said in a low voice, "Don't hide it from Brother Feng, I have a distant cousin who works on an errand in the Guogong Mansion, and her old man heard it with his own ears, saying that on the day the eldest young master got married, the little lady of the Cui family brought a master to congratulate him, and the elder brother of the Wang family looked at the master, and his face changed in fright, and he couldn't even speak." Hey, you say, if he doesn't have a weak heart, what is he afraid of?! ”

"And this?"

"No, I'll tell you......"

I have to say that the gossip skills of the people are still quite profound, coupled with the deliberate guidance of people with hearts, it is almost a meal, and the streets and alleys of Pingzhou are spreading new stories of the Guogong Mansion.

P: Hey, the story of the abandoned woman is coming to an end, dear friends, what is the next book to write in a certain Sa? Dear dear, give me a suggestion
