Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 25 Ambition and Marriage

Provoking the emperor's suspicion is not alarmist talk.

The relationship between the Li family and the aristocratic family is too deep, and this is what Li Qinzai has heard slowly from his family since he traveled through these days.

Since the reign of Emperor Gaozu, the Guanlong Group and the Shandong gentry 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, Yu Chigong, Cheng Yaojin, Li Ji, etc., are all emerging nobles in the world.

It is said that they are "emerging nobles", but these nobles are all proud of marrying daughters from aristocratic families, and they are scrambling to marry those ancient aristocratic families.

There are not enough daughters from each family of the seven clans and five surnames. The couples in the aristocratic families have to work overtime to create a man to meet the needs of the market.

In Li Ji's house, from Li Ji himself to his descendants, most of the original wives are daughters of seven clans and five surnames.

With a marriage, there are naturally other contacts, such as giving each other face when discussing government affairs in the court, making money in the house, setting up a joint caravan with each other, buying each other's individual shares, and so on.

The involvement is getting deeper and deeper, and the integration of interests is getting deeper and deeper.

How would he feel about this in today's eyes?Especially Li Zhi and his queen named 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 spent their entire lives trying to suppress and weaken the power of the family, and it was quite effective.

For Li Qinzai, the current relationship between the Li family and the aristocratic family is a big hidden danger.

When Li Zhi abolished Wang Liwu, Li Ji said, "This is His Majesty's family business, why bother to ask outsiders."

This sentence was very clever, and it also made Li Zhilong very happy. At the same time, this sentence also offended some aristocratic families. After all, the queen and queen that Li Zhi wanted to depose was from the Wang family of Taiyuan.

For the aristocratic family, Li Ji's words were to encourage Li Zhi to abolish the empress, and he was blatantly standing on the opposite side of the aristocratic family.

However, these are still not enough, at least Li Qinzai thinks it is not enough.

In the future, when Li Zhi and Empress Wu smashed down with a hammer, they only wanted to smash the family. However, the interests of the Li family and the family are connected. It is hard to say whether this hammer will make the Li family dizzy by the way.

It was Li Qinzai's intention to make such a high-profile attack on the Zheng family.

Since you want to offend, let everyone know by beating gongs and drums, otherwise the offense is not for nothing?
The incident of Zheng Feng boasting his father chasing the sun tonight is Li Qinzai's statement on behalf of the Li family's high-profile enmity with the Zheng family.

This statement was for Li Zhi and Empress Wu to see.

Although the Tian family husband and wife live in the palace, they will definitely see what they want to see.

Li Ji sat motionless in the study, with deep eyes in his cloudy eyes. Li Qinzai occasionally looked directly into his eyes when he was talking, but he still couldn't understand the deep meaning in his eyes.

Li Qinzai couldn't help smiling wryly.

After living two lifetimes, it is not necessarily wiser than the ancients.In addition to those extra knowledge, in terms of conspiracy, theory of life and experience, I still failed in a mess.

Let’s just be an ordinary person, it’s pretty good, lie down and watch the clouds roll and the clouds shuffle, stealthily float for half a day, one day, one year, and the rest of your life, close your eyes and say with a smirk on your deathbed, I saved 1000 million. hide in……

The words came to an abrupt end here, and it was very refreshing to let those unfilial children and grandchildren find a broken leg.

"This is the end of the Zheng family's affairs, you don't need to interfere any more." Li Ji said decisively after pondering for a long time.

Li Qinzai said indifferently: "Yes."

Li Ji looked at him seriously, although he didn't know why his grandson's understanding of the general situation of the court was so clear and wise, but Li Ji didn't want to ask why.

He only knew that his grandson was different from before, and this change was a good thing, and that was enough.

"Zheng Feng and his son should really pay the price. Not everyone in the Li family can handle the murder, but your method is too ruthless. After winning this round, you still buried hidden dangers,"

"You have set up a scheme to make Zheng Feng ugly and broke his legs. This feud can be over. You can't kill them all. You still need to give people a chance. This chance is the way of the world."

Li Qinzai's heart moved slightly, as if he had realized something.

"Thank you, grandpa, for your reminder. My grandson understands. In the future, my grandson will be able to handle things properly."

Li Ji said with a smile: "The old man's good grandson is much more pleasing to the eye after he changed his ways."

Li Qinzai said obediently: "Grandson works hard, trying to make grandpa more and more pleasing to the eye, so pleasing to the eye that he can't put it down like a treasure..."

Li Ji froze, glanced at him with a complicated expression, and sighed in a low voice: "The skin is getting thicker and thicker. There is no gold, and no one is perfect. Heaven will not deceive me."

Li Qinzai's evaluation of Li Ji was not turbulent, what a thick-skinned, this is self-confidence.

"Since you are no longer the famous Chang'an bastard of the past, the old man would like to ask, what is your ambition?"

Li Qinzai blurted out, "Grandson wants to be a waste."

Li Ji was stunned, and there was silence in the study.

After a long time, Li Ji's cloudy old eyes opened wide, with killing intent in them, but a smile appeared on his face.

"The old man gives you a chance to reorganize the language."

Sensing his grandfather's fierce murderous intent, Li Qinzai immediately changed his words: "Grandson wants to be a hermit who is indifferent to fame and fortune. In this life, he will devote his love to the mountains and rivers, play in the world of mortals, and gratefully enjoy the peaceful peace brought about by the bloody battles of the late emperor, grandfather and other heroes!"

Li Ji is very relieved, these words sound exciting!

However, smacking his lips, Li Ji felt something was wrong again.

Don't you still want to be a waste?

He picked up a scroll of bamboo slips on the Art of War and threw it at Li Qinzai's face.

Li Qinzai's eyes were sharp and his body was quick. He was not careless, and he dodged past.

Pointing to the door, Li Ji snorted coldly: "Get lost!"

Li Qinzai was ready to roll away.

It's inevitable that people are a bit hypocritical when they are old, and they don't like to listen to the truth. No matter what others think, Li Qinzai really wants to be a waste who just eats and waits to die.

Born into a wealthy family, he has no worries about food and clothing, his family father is kind and his son is filial, and he is full of evil outside. This is the perfect environment that God gave him to be a waste.

He has no interest in expanding the territory and spreading the world.It's enough to live your own little life.

Today's Tang Dynasty is entering a prosperous age, he can do without him, and he is not so great that he has to jump up and down to create a sense of existence to change the course of history.

Speaking of which, it is still the habit of being a social animal in the previous life. How the company develops and grows has nothing to do with him. Anyway, the boss has not seen more bonuses. He only cares about the full attendance and overtime pay for this month.

When Li Qinzai retired and left the study with a smile, Li Ji suddenly stopped him.

"Three years ago, the old man decided to arrange a marriage for you, Qinghe Cui's Qingzhou branch, but not long after the engagement, the woman's mother died of illness, and the daughter stayed at home for three years, and the marriage was delayed. Counting the days, three years It's almost over, and it's time to get married."

Li Qinzai was stunned.

Just now, she was full of passion and said about the relationship between the Li family and the family, and said that she should keep a distance from the family.

In the end, he turned around and gave himself a family marriage?
Li Qinzai's eyes narrowed, the old fox deliberately slapped his face?
Seeing Li Qinzai's sluggish expression, Li Ji smiled: "Go ahead, Er Guan is insightful, but there are still some shortcomings. No matter whether it is today or decades later, the Tian family and the family will not be hostile. Coexistence and checks and balances, over time, you will be able to see clearly."

Li Qinzai walked out of the study dully.

There was a sudden addition of a woman. The news was so shocking that Li Qinzai needed to digest it.

Seeing Li Qinzai walk out of the study, Li Ji smiled.

The screen behind him flashed, and Li Ji's second son, Li Siwen, walked up to Li Ji. Li Siwen had been hiding behind the screen during the conversation between his grandparents and grandchildren just now.

Li Ji said lightly: "Siwen, did you hear everything clearly just now?"

Li Siwen lowered his head and said, "Yes, my lord, I heard everything clearly."

Li Ji said with a smile: "In your eyes, is he still that slutty dandy who spends his days running amok and getting into trouble?"

Li Siwen was expressionless: "Maybe there is a little change, the child thinks that his nature has not changed, and he still has that bastard temperament."

Li Ji sighed: "You are too strict with him, naturally you have a deep prejudice. From his creation of the magic arm bow, to the series of calculations against the Zheng family, as well as his views on the Tian family and the family just now, it is enough to explain Qin Zai. It’s no longer the old Wuxia Amon..."

"This son is handsome, but he has a talent for managing the world. The old man even wondered if he did it deliberately in the past, thinking that he would hide his strength and bide his time. If he didn't cause a big disaster this time, I'm afraid he wouldn't reveal his ability easily. .”

"If you still have prejudice against him, you might as well calm down and take a look again. The old man thinks that in time, this son may be a thousand-mile horse of my Li family. Even if you don't want to be this Bole, you shouldn't whip him and torture him to kill his character. , missed his future."

Li Siwen was surprised and said, "Father expects so much from this son?"

Li Jishuo said slowly: "In the eyes of this old man, Li's parents and grandsons are not as dedicated as he is, and the rest are not as good as him for respecting you, respecting truth, etc. Carrying this son, there is a gap in his stomach, and he is destined to be extraordinary."

…………

Walking out of the study, Li Qinzai looked dull, like a dead fish.

You are still a happy single dog when you go in, and you are already a married man when you come out, so who can you reason with?

When he first crossed over, Li Qinzai was still thinking about why the beautiful feudalism arranged marriage didn't come to him.

But that was just a momentary bad idea, like every sentence "I love you" of a scumbag with no intention.

However, when he knew that Li Ji had really arranged a marriage for him, Li Qinzai was not happy again.

Getting acquainted first, then falling in love, and finally getting married, these are the steps that a normal marriage should have.

If you omitted the previous steps, isn’t marriage the same as opening a blind box? If you are unlucky and get a woman with a pockmarked face, squinting eyes, foul mouth, and aggressive temper, how will you live your life?
Besides, she is married to a daughter of a noble family, and she can faintly feel it from her birth. She is afraid that it is a delicate fault all over her body, with her nostrils facing the sky and domineering, and the husband and wife have to face the death stares from the Tang family when they quarrel...

Before we get married officially, if we can divorce...

With a flash of thought, Li Qinzai turned around and ran towards Li Ji's study.

This time, even the rules of knocking on the door were omitted, and he pushed the door open abruptly. Li Qinzai said loudly, "Grandpa, can we cancel the engagement?"

After speaking, Li Qinzai saw clearly that his own father Li Siwen was also sitting in the study.

Obviously I just left the study, where did my father come from?so weird...

Now the three generations live together in the study, and the whole family is full of filial piety.

There was no time to think, because Li Qinzai had already noticed that the air in the study room became cold instantly.

"What did you say?" Li Ji and Li Siwen and his son spoke in unison, even their expressions were uniformly chilling.

Li Qinzai was stunned for a while, then said cautiously: "What if Qinghe Cui's daughter is pockmarked, or has beauty spots on her face, or pimples or something..."

"Evil son! How do you treat me!" Every time he saw Li Qinzai, Li Siwen's temper could not help being irritable, and he was a natural enemy.

Grandfather and father mixed doubles, I'm afraid I can't handle it, especially when grandpa is still a famous player in the world...

Li Qinzai decided to confess his love and not to be ashamed. After he had a son, under absolute force suppression, his son would also confess his love to him, and the fine tradition was passed down from generation to generation.

"Mask! What I want to say is the mask!" Li Qinzai was eager to get wise, and tried to squeeze out a smile: "Mask can cure pockmarks..."
