Li Qinzai never said it, but he knew very well in his heart that Li Tao had actually been dissatisfied with Li Jingye, the heir to the British dukedom.

Li Jingye now lives in Sima in Liuzhou, and is an official outside all the year round, rarely returning to Chang'an.

The intersection between Li Qinzai and him was that Li Jingye was involved in a local affair case, and after the matter was resolved, Li Jingye was reinstated and returned to Liuzhou, and since then, Li Qinzai has not seen him for several years.

For the eldest son and eldest grandson of the Li family, Li Qinzai's cousin, when it comes to intimacy, Li Qinzai is actually relatively unfamiliar with him, and he doesn't know much about his personality.

But Li Qinzai can be sure that Li Tao has always been dissatisfied with Li Jingye in his heart.

This is not Li Qinzai's personal speculation, and there are clear records in the history books of his previous life.

Li Tao just commented on Li Jingye, and there was a sentence that hit the nail on the head, saying that Li Jingye had an "unhealthy heart".

Of course, the heir to the title does not expect him to be a saint, a little short-tempered, a little despicable, a little ruined, a little spineless, and he can tolerate it.

is the only "wrong heart", for the entire family, it can be regarded as a disaster, and it is a catastrophe of raiding the family and destroying the clan.

People are mixed in the court, it doesn't hurt to have more minor problems, but if the heart is crooked, it is very likely to embark on the road of the whole family being wiped out.

Li Jingye in real history really lived up to expectations and brought the family to the grave, and the glory that Li Tao earned for his family in his life was defeated by him overnight.

Of course, the historical trajectory of this life is different, with Li Qinzai's unexpected appearance in this world, intentionally or unintentionally changing many people and things, what should have happened may never happen, and the people who should be destroyed have also been forced to correct the direction by him after all.

But what followed was the unpredictable future, and even Li Qinzai, a traverser, didn't know what would happen in the future, and what Li Jingye, the heir of the British duke, would do in the future.

There was a lot of regret in Li Tao's tone, he actually wanted to pass on the title of Duke of England to Li Qinzai.

But the rules are the rules, and Li Tao can't change them.

Li Qinzai doesn't care about the title of Duke of England, now he has become a county duke, and he is only one level away from the Duke of Jue Jinguo, and he will go up with a casual meritorious service, isn't the first generation of the Lord more comfortable than the second generation of the Lord of the Lord?

"Grandpa has just returned triumphantly, don't worry too much about family affairs, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, you live at home for a long time, and the Li family has grandchildren, and it can't collapse." Li Qinzai comforted.

Li Tao muttered: "'Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren', this is a wonderful saying, haha!" Yes, the old man is old, but it is better for you to be transparent and free. ”

Immediately, Li Tao said in a deep voice: "There are some things that the old man can't change, and you are the most competitive child in my Li family, so you should stand on your own and open another one." ”

"In the future, the old man is gone, if the Li family is in trouble, you can reach out to help, and spare no effort, if the disaster is too big, you can't bear it, so you will stab the Li family in the back, as evidence, and the Li family will be cleared up, and from then on, the Li family will take your branch as the right vein, and after dedication, life and death are up to heaven."

Li Qinzai was taken aback, and looked at Li Tao in shock.

is worthy of being a famous general on the battlefield, he is ruthless to anyone, he is crazy and even his own descendants are not spared, and he is decisive in what he says, without hesitation, he decides to make a choice in an instant, this ruthless and ruthless courage, Li Qinzai can't do it.

"Grandpa, don't say this, my grandson will be blocked when I hear it." Li Qinzai frowned.

Li Tao smiled freely: "I didn't let you backstab you now, in short, remember the old man's words, I hope that no disaster will happen in the future, otherwise, you must make a quick decision, so as not to prolong yourself." ”

Li Qinzai was silent, but he secretly made a decision in his heart.

Li Jingye, from now on, I will keep an eye on you.

The atmosphere was a little stagnant, and the grandparents and grandchildren were in no mood to chat in the face of this heavy topic.

After a long time, Li Qinzai broke the silence.

"Grandpa, don't you really think about meeting with the officials and generals outside? One hundred yuan per person, if you don't make money, you don't make money, our family has a big business, the expenses are huge, and the landlord's family has no surplus food......"

Before he finished speaking, Li Tao picked up a pair of tongs and threw it at him: "Get out!" ”

…………

After resting in Luoyang for three days, the heavy snow still did not stop.

Li Tao couldn't stay any longer, after all, he had been away from home for two years, and his heart was like an arrow, and the heavy snow couldn't stop him from embarking on the way home.

So early on the morning of the fourth day, Li Tao decided to set off for Chang'an.

The cavalry escorted the ancestors and grandchildren out of the Luoyang city gate, countless officials and generals braved the heavy snow to see each other, everyone stood in the snow, bowed respectfully and saluted, until they were sent out of the city ten miles, everyone watched the figure of the cavalry disappear in the wind and snow.

The wind and snow were all over the place, the roads were muddy, and the group had a hard time.

Li Tao was old, couldn't stand the bumps, and the road conditions were not suitable for galloping, Li Qinzai patiently accompanied him, and walked slowly all the way.

From Luoyang to Chang'an, I walked for half a month, and finally saw the majestic and towering Chang'an city wall in the distance in the mountains.

In Zhuma Mountain, Li Tao looked at the Chang'an city wall in the distance, and there was a little more warmth in his eyes.

After fighting for a lifetime and returning home, this is the final end of his life.

The wind and snow are misty, the bearded sideburns are mixed with the snow, the iron armor on his body is still very strong, and the veteran of the twilight rides a thin old horse, and at this moment he is cowardly outside his hometown.

A tribal man rode his horse in the wind and snow, but before anyone arrived, he turned over and dismounted.

"Old man, the Son of Heaven led hundreds of officials to welcome the old man back to Beijing in the Liuting Pavilion thirty miles outside the city."

Li Tao was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Come forward quickly, don't let the Son of Heaven wait for a long time." ”

The group galloped on horseback, and after galloping for several miles, they saw a group of black people standing in place and waiting quietly outside a pavilion in the distance.

In the middle of the crowd was Li Zhi, who was wearing a thick leather coat, his head and shoulders were covered with snow, obviously he had been waiting for a long time, but there was no impatience on his face, and he looked into the distance calmly.

Behind Li Zhi, the Empress Wu was also dressed in a formal queen's court dress, standing quietly, and the surrounding civil and military officials were all standing respectfully, and hundreds of people were waiting for the return of a late veteran in the snowstorm.

Li Tao turned over and dismounted a hundred paces away, and hurriedly stepped forward.

Walking in front of Li Zhi, Li Zhi was about to bow down on one knee, but Li Zhi grabbed his arm and stopped him from continuing to salute.

"How can the old minister be virtuous, he actually worked His Majesty, the queen and his colleagues to go out of the city to greet him, and torture the old minister." Li Tao said in a deep voice.

Li Zhi held his arm, looked Li Tao up and down, his eyes were red and sighed: "Ying Gong has been fighting for the country for several years, and he is getting older and older. ”

After speaking, Li Zhi and Empress Wu actually bowed to Li Tao at the same time.

Li Tao was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Your Majesty must not ......"

"Ying Gong has made this immortal contribution to the Tang Dynasty, and he deserves this gift." Li Zhi said seriously.

Immediately afterwards, the surrounding civil and military officials also bowed to Li Tao one after another.
