Chapter 25: Ambition and Family Affairs
Provoking the suspicion of the Son of Heaven is not alarmist.
The relationship between the Li family and the family is too deep, which is also what Li Qinzai has slowly heard from his family since he traveled through these days.
Since the beginning of the Gaozu period, the Guanlong Group and the Shandong Shi clan have always been noble families in the eyes of the world.
As for later, with the rise of Li Shimin, the famous generals who assisted Li Shimin such as Li Jing, Wei Chigong, Cheng Yanjin, Li Tao, etc., are all regarded as emerging nobles in the world.
It is said that it is a "new aristocracy", but these nobles are proud to marry the daughters of the family in their bones, and they are scrambling to marry those ancient families one by one.
There are not enough daughters from each family of the seven clans and five surnames, and the husbands and wives in the family must work overtime to create people to meet the needs of the market.
In Li Tao's mansion, from Li Tao himself to the children and grandchildren below, most of the original wives are the daughters of the seven clans and five surnames.
With marriage, there are naturally other contacts, giving each other face when discussing politics in the court, making money in the house, building a joint caravan with each other, entering each other's individual stocks, and so on.
The involvement is getting deeper and deeper, and the integration of interests is also getting deeper and deeper.
How would he feel in the eyes of today? Especially Li Zhi and his queen surnamed Wu.
Li Qinzai didn't know anything else, he only knew that it was clearly written in the history books of his previous life that Li Zhi and Wu Zetian had been desperately suppressing and weakening the power of the family all their lives, and they were quite effective.
For Li Qinzai, the relationship between the Li family and the family is a big hidden danger.
When Li Zhi abolished Wang Liwu, Li Tao said, "This is a family matter for Your Majesty, why bother asking outsiders."
This sentence is very good, and it also makes Li Zhilong's face happy, and at the same time, this sentence also offends some families, after all, the queen Wang who Li Zhi wants to depose is from the Taiyuan Wang family.
For the family, Li Tao's words are to encourage Li Zhi to abolish the post, which is to openly stand on the opposite side of the family.
However, these are still not enough, at least Li Qinzai thinks it is not enough.
In the future, Li Zhi and Empress Wu smashed down with a hammer, and originally only wanted to smash the family, but the interests of the Li family and the family are connected, and it is difficult to say whether this hammer will smash the Li family by the way.
With such a high-profile attack on the Zheng family, Li Qinzai had this in mind.
Since you want to offend, then beat the gong and drum to let everyone know, otherwise it will not be in vain?
Tonight's Zheng Cheng boasting of his father's pursuit of the sun is a high-profile expression of Li Qinzai's high-profile enmity with the Zheng family on behalf of the Li family.
This statement was shown to Li Zhi and Empress Wu.
Although the husband and wife of the Heavenly Family live in the palace, they will definitely see what they want to see.
Li Tao sat in the study without moving, his cloudy eyes were deep, and Li Qinzai occasionally looked directly into his eyes when he spoke, but he never understood the deep meaning in his eyes.
Li Qinzai couldn't help but smile bitterly.
After living two lifetimes, he is not necessarily smarter than the ancients. In addition to those extra knowledge, in terms of scheming and experience, he is still a mess.
It's better to be an ordinary person, it's good, lie down and watch the clouds roll up, steal half a day of leisure, a day of leisure, a year of leisure, a lifetime of leisure, and say with a wicked smile before closing his eyes on his deathbed, I saved 10 million, and I hid it in the ......
The words stopped abruptly here, and let those unfilial descendants find broken legs, which is very cool.
"The Zheng family's affairs are over here, you don't have to meddle anymore." Li Tao pondered for a long time and said categorically.
Li Qinzai said indifferently: "Yes." ”
Li Tao looked at him seriously, although he didn't know why his grandson's understanding of the general situation of the dynasty was so sober and wise, but Li Tao didn't want to ask the reason.
He only knows that his grandson is different from before, and this change is a good thing, and that's enough.
"Zheng Cheng's father and son should indeed pay the price, not everyone in the Li family can handle and murder, but your method is too ruthless, and you still buried hidden dangers after winning this round,"
"You have set up a situation to make Zheng Cheng a big ugly man, and also broke his legs, this revenge can be put to rest, you can't kill all of them, you still need to give people a glimmer of life, this line of vitality is human sophistication."
Li Qinzai's heart moved slightly, as if he had an understanding.
"Thank you grandpa for mentioning it, my grandson understands, and in the future, my grandson will be a good person."
Li Tao said with a smile: "The old man's good grandson has changed his past and wrongs, but it is much more pleasing to the eye. ”
Li Qinzai said obediently: "Sun Ernu works hard, and strives to make grandpa more and more pleasing to the eye, so pleasing to the eye that he can't put it down if he gets a treasure......"
Li Tao froze for a moment, glanced at him with a complicated expression, and sighed in a low voice: "The skin is getting thicker and thicker, the gold is not enough, no one is perfect, and God is honest and does not deceive me." ”
Li Qinzai's evaluation of Li Tao has no waves, what kind of thick skin, this is self-confidence.
"Since you are no longer the famous Chang'an bastard in the past, the old man wants to ask, what is your ambition?"
Li Qinzai blurted out: "My grandson wants to be a waste." ”
Li Tao froze, and there was silence in the study.
After a long time, Li Tao's cloudy old eyes widened, and there was murderous intent in his eyes, but a smile appeared on his face.
"The old man gives you a chance to reorganize the language."
Feeling his grandfather's fierce murderous aura, Li Qinzai immediately changed his words: "My grandson wants to be a hermit who is indifferent to fame and fortune, and in this life, I am attached to the landscape, play in the red dust, and gratefully enjoy the Lang Lang Taiping laid down by the bloody battles of the first emperor and grandfather!" ”
Li Tao was very relieved, this sound exciting!
However, smacking his mouth, Li Tao felt that it was wrong.
Isn't this still trying to be a piece of waste?
He picked up a scroll of bamboo slips on the art of war in his hand and threw it at Li Qinzai's face.
Li Qinzai's eyes were fast, he was not careless, he flashed over.
Pointing to the door, Li Tao snorted coldly: "Get out!" ”
Li Qinzai was ready to roll.
It's inevitable that people are a little hypocritical when they get old, and they don't like to listen to it to be honest, no matter what others think, Li Qinzai really wants to be a waste who eats and waits for death.
Born in a powerful family, he does not worry about food and clothing, his father is kind and filial to his son, and he is full of evil outside, which is simply an excellent environment for him to be a waste given to him by God.
What to expand the territory, what to shine for a thousand years, he is not interested. It's enough to live your own little life.
Today's Tang Dynasty is entering a prosperous era, with him or not, he is not so great that he has to jump up and down to brush up and down to change the course of history.
It is still the habit of being a social animal in his previous life, and how the company develops and grows has nothing to do with him, anyway, he didn't see the boss pay more bonuses, he only cares about this month's full attendance and overtime pay.
When Li Qinzai smiled and left the study, Li Tao suddenly stopped him.
"Three years ago, the old man made a decision for you to set a family affair, Qinghe Cui's Qingzhou branch, but not long after the marriage, the woman's mother died of illness, and the daughter kept filial piety at home for three years, and the family affair was delayed.
Li Qinzai was sluggish.
Just now, he was full of enthusiasm about the relationship between the Li family and the family, and what he said to keep a distance from the family.
As a result, he turned his face and gave himself a family marriage?
Li Qinzai's eyes narrowed, and the old fox deliberately slapped his face?
Seeing Li Qinzai's sluggish expression, Li Tao smiled: "Go ahead, although Erguan is insightful, but it is still slightly insufficient, whether the Heavenly Family and the Family are today or decades later, they will not be hostile relations, but coexistence and balance, after a long time, you will be able to see clearly." ”
Li Qinzai walked out of the study.
Suddenly, there was a mother-in-law, the news was so shocking that Li Qinzai needed to digest it.
Watching Li Qinzai walk out of the study, Li Tao's eyes were full of smiles.
The figure of the screen behind him flashed, and Li Siwen, the second son of Li Tao, walked in front of Li Tao, and when the ancestors and grandsons were talking just now, Li Siwen had been hiding behind the screen.
Li Tao said lightly: "Siwen, did you hear it all clearly just now?" ”
Li Siwen lowered his head and said, "Yes, my father, I heard it clearly." ”
Li Tao smiled: "In your eyes, is he still the prodigal who does things all day long?" ”
Li Siwen was expressionless: "There may be a slight change, the child thinks that his nature has not changed, and he is still that bastard." ”
Li Tao sighed: "You are too strict with him, and you are naturally quite prejudiced. From his creation of the Divine Arm Bow, to the serial calculations of the Zheng family, and his insights into the Heavenly Family and the Family just now, it is enough to show that Qin Zai is no longer the Wuxia Amun ...... of the past."
"This son is beautiful, but he has the talent of the world, and the old man even doubts whether he did it on purpose, thinking that Taoguang is obscure, if it weren't for the big disaster this time, he is afraid that his ability will not be easily revealed."
"If you are still prejudiced against him, you might as well calm down and take a look, the old man thinks that in time, this son may be the thousand-mile horse of my Li family, even if you don't want to be this Bole, you shouldn't whip and abuse, consume his heart, and miss his future."
Li Siwen was surprised: "Father has such high hopes for this son? ”
Li Tao brushed his beard and said slowly: "In the eyes of the old man, the Li family and grandson are not as good as him, and the rest are not as good as him. Qin Zai this son, with a furrow in his belly, is destined to be extraordinary. ”
…………
Walking out of the study, Li Qinzai looked sluggish, like a dead fish.
When I went in, I was still a happy single dog, and when I came out, I was already a married man, who did I reason with?
When he first crossed over, Li Qinzai was still thinking about why the beautiful feudal arranged marriage didn't take his turn.
But that's just a momentary bad taste, like every scumbag's "I love you" without a mouth.
However, when he knew that Li Tao had really arranged a family affair for him, Li Qinzai was not happy again.
First acquaintance, then love, and finally marriage, this is the step that a normal marriage should have.
You omitted the previous steps, isn't marriage the same as opening a blind box, in case of bad luck, opening a mother-in-law with a pockmarked face and slanted eyes, a foul-tempered and fierce mother-in-law, how to live in this life?
Besides, she is still married to a girl from a family, and she can faintly feel from her birth that she is afraid that she is a delicate problem, her nostrils are pointing at the sky, and the husband and wife have to face the death gaze from the door valve of the Tang family when they quarrel......
Before you officially get married, if you can get married......
Li Qinzai's heart flashed, and he turned around and ran towards Li Tao's study.
This time, even the rules of knocking on the door were omitted, and the door was pushed open suddenly, and Li Qinzai said loudly: "Grandpa, can you get out of the marriage?" ”
After speaking, Li Qinzai saw clearly that his father Li Siwen was also sitting in the study.
Obviously, I just left the study, where did my father come from? It's weird......
Now the three generations in the study are in the same hall, and they are filial piety.
There was no time to think, because Li Qinzai had already noticed that the air in the study instantly froze.
"What did you say?" Li Tao and Li Siwen's father and son spoke in unison, and even their expressions were unified.
Li Qinzai was stunned for a long time, and said carefully: "In case the daughter of the Cui family of Qinghe is a pockmarker, or a beautiful mole, or a pimple or something......
"Son! How are you doing? Every time I see Li Qinzai, Li Siwen's temper always can't help but be irritable, and he is a natural enemy.
Grandpa's father mixed doubles, I'm afraid I can't bear it, especially grandpa is still a world-famous general......
Li Qinzai decided to admit cowardice, not to be ashamed, and in the future, he had a son, and under the absolute force suppression, his son would also confess to himself, and the fine tradition would be passed on from generation to generation.
"Mask! What the kids want to talk about is a face mask! Li Qinzai was anxious and wise, and tried to squeeze out a smile: "Mask can cure pockmarked ......"
