At the beginning of the first year of Wude (now Li Yuan has not ascended the throne, the year name has not yet appeared, it should normally be the third year of Yining, for the convenience of everyone's reading, the year name was brought out in advance), all the male members of Li Valve began to worship their ancestors on the first day of the new year, regardless of whether they are mixed well or mixed poorly, everyone is the same ancestor, and when it comes to worshipping ancestors, it is natural to worship together, of course, the good position of the mix is a little ahead, and the bad position of the mix is a little back. After some cumbersome weekly rituals, those who were mixed, such as Li Yuan, Li Xiaogong and the like, entered the inner hall of the ancestral hall with several clan elders, and those who were mixed poorly, and those who had no power or power could only wait outside.

As mentioned earlier, Li Xiaogong and Li Yuan can basically be traced back to Li Hu's name, and now Li Valve's line of power can basically be said to be Li Hu's lineage, Li Hu's official to the left servant shoot, Taiwei, and given the surname Ohno. In the third year of the Great Unification, Li Hu was awarded the title of Duke of Longxi County, and Yu Wentai, Duke of Anding, Wang Yuanxin of Guangling, Li Bi, Duke of Zhao County, Dugu Xin of Hanoi, Duke Zhao Gui of Nanyang, Duke Yu Jin of Changshan, and Mo Chen Chong, Duke of Pengcheng, all became the highest military attache with the title of "Pillar State", known as the "Eight Pillar Kingdom".

From the Western Wei Dynasty to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and then to the Great Sui, Li Hu himself, and his descendants can basically be said to have all hung up, and those who are still alive now are basically some grandchildren, even those who have Li Hu's nephews, and they are not members of the lineage; As for why Li Yuan can be the owner of Li Valve, this is also related to his father, Li Yuan's father Li Xun, also known as Li Yu, the word Mingze, the Northern Zhou Dynasty during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the ancestral home of Longxi Chengji, his wife is the Yuanzhen Empress Dugu, born in Longxi Li, the family has been in the Northern Dynasty for generations, his father Li Hu is one of the eight pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty, called the Duke of Longxi County, after Li Hu's death, the two brothers above Li Hu hung up, Li Yu inherited as the Duke of Longxi County, and later added the title of Duke of Tang Guo, once served as the governor of Anzhou in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the general of the Zhu State. So after Li Yuan's death, just in time for Yang Jian to usurp the throne, in order to appease Li Valve, Li Yuan, the son of Li Yuan, naturally inherited Tang Guogong, as for the three goods in front of Li Yuan, just like the two goods in front of Li Yuan, either they were not sons-in-law, or they hung up early.

All right! I don't want to say much, originally Li Xiaogong, as a generation younger than Li Yuan, was not qualified to enter the inner hall of the ancestral hall, but, again, the situation is stronger than people, who makes Li Xiaogong powerful now, besides, Li Yuan has made such a big move, it is nothing more than wanting to explore Li Xiaogong, how can you test if you don't let Li Xiaogong enter the inner hall of the ancestral hall?

After a group of people sat down, the servants next to them brought tea, all of them were a group of calm people, each holding the tea, taking a sip gently, and feeling that these people were not drinking tea, but tasting life. After being silent for a while, Li Yuan saw that the original plan was not like this, and hurriedly glanced at a brother on his side.

"It's rare for our Li valve people to get together like now, Li Shao is not talented, some words are not spit out and unhappy, the current situation in the world I believe everyone is already clear, the heroes rise together, we Li valve is the most potential of a force, I believe that continue our Li valve for several generations of efforts, it will not be long, Dingding Central Plains is just around the corner. But... At present, the forces of our Li Valve are divided into two, and they cannot unify and cooperate with each other, which has brought certain obstacles to our Li Lord's struggle for hegemony in the world. "Li Shao, who is sitting next to Li Yuan, is Li Daozong's father, of course, Li Shao died at the end of the Sui Dynasty in the annals, and this guy in the Tang world has not died for the time being, seeing that the spirit of death is almost away, he said out loud after seeing Li Yuan's instructions. The people here are not fools, and they basically understand that Li Shao's goal is to go towards Li Xiaogong.

"Oh! So with Uncle Shao's cognition, I don't know how to combine the two into one and cooperate with the action? Zhang Wei glanced at Li Yuan with a smile and said.

"Since Xiao Gongxian's nephew asked, Uncle Wei said bluntly, although you occupy a large territory in the Qing Sect, after all, there is no name of Li Valve's righteousness. . . ." Li Shao saw that Li Xiaogong was so good, and immediately spoke.

"Haha! Excuse me, in the name of the righteousness of the Li valve... Who gave you such a shameless title? May I ask you all the rebels of the Great Sui, where does your righteousness come from? Li Xiaogong interrupted Li Shao's speech with a laugh, and then said a sentence that a group of people glared at angrily, although this is the reason, but if you say it like this, how can we fight for the world?

"You just looked at the army under this seat, even if this seat is given to you, do you dare to take over? How dare you take over? Zhang Wei said disdainfully.

"Humph! Brother Shude is a saint of heaven, why is there no virtue to take over? Li Shao said unconvinced.

"Heavenly Sage? That is predestined, pull it out and let this seat take a look? Zhang Wei said speechlessly, you can really blow, and return the saint to heaven, I'm going to go, is the word saint a casual joke? This is also in the low-martial world, you go to the mythical world to try, you dare to say this, believe it or not, it will make you gray immediately. You just said that there are a bunch of emperors in the Tianding Emperor to trouble you, and you still dare to eat the Tianding Sage.

"Humph! Brother Shude is a saint of heaven, do you need to prove it to your junior? Li Shao shot back unhappily, of course, he was purely angry.

"Li Shao doesn't respect the way of heaven, and thunder once to show respect!" Zhang Wei looked at Li Shao even more unhappy, temporary uprising, damn it and let you pretend to be B, Lao Tzu will split you with a thunder first and then pretend.

"Click!" After a thunderclap in the sky, a thunderbolt appeared above Li Shao's head, and it slashed at Li Shao's body, both the people in the inner hall of the ancestral hall and the people outside the ancestral hall were dumbfounded! I'm going to go, what did we just hear? Someone was by God?

In the inner hall of the ancestral hall, after Li Shao was struck by lightning, the hair on his head had all stood up, his face was black, and his eyes were looking straight ahead. Of course Li Shao is not dead, no matter how you say it, he can be regarded as Li Xiaogong's nominal uncle, Zhang Wei has not lost his heart to the point of killing people indiscriminately, just looking at this guy is unhappy, how much benefit did Li Yuan give you, you just came to the saddle and the horse to help Li Yuan? So, just use lightning to control the power and teach this guy a lesson.

"Whether it's a heavenly saint or not, it's not up to you to have the final say... At this time, Li Xiaogong said faintly, and everyone in the inner hall of the ancestral hall was shocked, why did we forget that Li Xiaogong was an immortal! Is it Lee Hyo-gong who did it this time? But Li Xiaogong didn't move just now? Didn't you say that you need magic weapons to do thunder and rain? Also, what does Li Xiaogong mean by this? Whether it's a saint or not, it's not up to you to decide... Could it be that you, Li Xiaogong, an immortal, have the final say?

"Filial piety! Shao: What is this? At this time, Li Shao's boss Li Yuan asked out loud.

"I don't respect the way of heaven, I don't fear the will of heaven, and I was struck by thunder! Of course, this time it should just be a lesson, I just measured the amount of thunder, it shouldn't be life-threatening! Zhang Wei opened his mouth and said, when he heard Li Xiaogong say that Li Shao's life was not in danger, the tense expressions of everyone in the inner hall of the ancestral hall slowly relaxed, and at this moment, Li Shao opened his mouth and spit out a puff of smoke, and then looked at the people in the inner hall stupidly. He is still in the god of Leng, and he has been warned by heaven? Usually, it's okay for others to scold the sky! Why do you have to be struck by lightning when you get to yourself, this is not scientific!

Regardless of whether the department is unscientific or not, someone stepped forward to help Li Shao and pressed him back to the chair, and Li Shao, whose legs trembled very obviously, estimated that after a few seconds, he would crawl on the ground of the inner hall, and he would be embarrassed at that time. Of course, no one in the inner hall laughed at Li Shao at this time, after all, if any of them came, it would be the same result.

After a period of silence, a clan elder spoke, "One of the things Li Shao said just now is very right, that is, our Li Valve is now the biggest force in the world, but the snake is not headless, and the bird is wingless!" We are now facing this head problem, Xiaogong and Shude, you are all here today, about... ”。

"The position of the head of the snake is still done by Uncle Yuan, I only care about the development of Puritanism, and I don't have too much leisure to care about the rest! When Uncle Yuan needs to contribute to the Puritan Ruling Hall, he only needs to give an order, and the army of the Puritan Sect will listen to Uncle Hou Yuan's orders at any time! Zhang Wei glanced at the clan elder and interjected.

"That's good! That's it! As long as you are sincerely united, I believe that in the future, it will be our Li Valve's world. The old man of the clan said, Li Yuan wanted to scold when he heard it, what a bastard, my target is the army in Li Xiaogong's hands! Now like this, although Li Xiaogong promised that he could help when he needed it, after Nima defeated the world at that time, the army was still under him, could Li sleep steadily?

"Since Shude has decided to fight for that position, I don't think the position of patriarch is suitable for Shude, and another virtuous person should be found to hold it." Before Li Yuan could think about the question of whether he could sleep or not, at this time, another clan elder next to the clan elder just now spoke, and the clan elder's words made Li Yuan startled, I wiped it, didn't you say that you would scold Li Xiaogong today? What do you think of the two of you, how do you look like you're working together to scare me?

In essence, the entire Li valve is now a generation older than Li Yuan, and there are only three people who can enter the inner hall of the ancestral hall, and now these two clan elders seem to be working together to scare themselves. Yes, Li Xiaogong promised to send troops to help him, but Ya's army is essentially still in his hands, so what's the use? And following the words of these two people, it seems that he is going to lose the position of patriarch.

"Not bad! Not bad! A person's energy is always limited, since Shude has decided to fight for that position, the position of patriarch should indeed be given up, otherwise this is the biggest sin for our Li Valve, if because of a royal plane, our Li Valve's last family inheritance is gone, then wouldn't we all disdain our descendants. The third clan chimed in.

"I suggest that Xiaogong take over the position of the patriarch, the position of the patriarch is originally leisurely, just in the big event to attract everyone, I believe everyone has seen the results of the development of Xiaogong's Shangqing Sect in Jiangdu, if Xiaogong leads us, I believe that our Li disciples do not know, but one by one the rich side is certain." Li Shuliang, who was beside the clan elder, opened his mouth and agreed.

Then, in the inner hall, a member of the Li clan kept echoing it, basically agreeing that Li Yuan would fight for the throne, and the position of patriarch would be taken over by Li Xiaogong. Li Yuan turned around to look for the members of his own side, only to find that unconsciously, there were basically no members behind Li, there were more than a dozen members in the inner hall, only Li Shao and Li Shenfu were still firmly supporting him, and even Li Shentong, the former No. 1 master of Li Valve, had changed his ways, and Li Yuan, who understood that the general trend had gone, reluctantly gave up the position of patriarch in exchange for Li Xiaogong's support to fight for the throne.

Li Yuan is very unwilling! was originally going to calculate Li Xiaogong's army, but in the end, he was calculated? It's not okay not to let the patriarch position, didn't you listen to what those clan elders and clan representatives said, it was obviously discussed, the position of the patriarch and the position of the emperor who painted a big pie in the air, he could only choose one, if he chose the position of the patriarch, then the throne must have nothing to do with himself, for Li Yuan, who already regarded the throne as something in his bag, it was better to kill him, and it was obvious that if he chose the position of patriarch, the ironclad Li Xiaogong would not support him, then he would still fight for the world! Wash up and go to sleep! Therefore, the lesser of the two, the position of a patriarch must be compared to the position of the emperor in Li Yuan's eyes. As for how many pieces of furniture Li Yuan smashed when he went back at night and how many servants he killed, it was not known to outsiders.
