Chapter 355: Dry Rice(1/3)
The clans in Chang'an were also divided into high and low levels.
The clans that formed the country when the country was founded were also very powerful. Some even led armies to fight for one side and became royal generals. Others assisted the emperor in governing the country.
However, after the founding of the country, it was inappropriate for the royal family to be in charge of the army, and being an official in the court was an eyesore, so the clan gradually distanced itself from the army and government affairs.
Without power, there are only two ways to maintain influence. One is the relationship with the emperor, and the other is prestige.
Prestige can often be understood as forming cliques.
Compared with King Liang, King Zhao had more friends, so his prestige was higher and his appeal was stronger. Yang Songcheng wanted to find a son-in-law from the clan, and these two families were the most competitive.
Originally everything was going well, everyone was competing for a while, and it also built momentum for the old Yang family, but Li Suo drugged him, and Li Zhi used the knife to kill the two wealthy husbands in one go. The Yang family's daughter was reportedly very angry.
He said that he would not marry anymore and would look for a place to become a monk later.
In Li Suo's view, Prince Liang's Mansion was a dirtier place than a brothel, so even if Li Zhi had good conditions, this alone would make it impossible for him to become Yang's son-in-law.
A man who can pamper his concubines and destroy his wife may one day be tempted by his daughter-in-law. What should he do?
If others say this, they will probably be called a dog.
But the emperor’s current favorite concubine is his former daughter-in-law. How do you say this?
Li Suo did not regard Li Zhi as an opponent, but unexpectedly he capsized in the ditch and fell into his hands.
The dream of Yang's son-in-law came to nothing, and it became more difficult to inherit Prince Zhao's palace out of thin air.
Li Suo gritted his teeth and said, "Do it!"
Zhang Wen galloped his horse.
The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer.
Zhang Wen suddenly flew past on horseback and shouted loudly in mid-air.
One punch.
King Wei looked back and punched him as well.
Boom!
King Wei's body trembled, and his horse neighed and sped up.
Zhang Wen flew back and landed on his horse.
"How?" Li Suo asked.
Zhang Wen said: "He was injured."
"That horse is quite a steed." Li Suo was a little suspicious, "Ordinary people can't own such a horse!"
Zhang Wen squinted his eyes and looked ahead, "That man blocked the previous punch, but refused to put his force on the horse's back. This shows that he cares about this horse. He is an idiot."
"Idiot?"
"That's right, I'm not an idiot. Who would get hurt over a horse?"
Li Suo smiled and said: "I didn't expect that Li Han met some people here. Idiots, only the dead are idiots."
Zhang Wen urged the war horse while adjusting his inner breath, "Don't worry, young man, if you just need to punch one more, that man will definitely not be able to hold on."
"Okay!" Li Suo looked up and saw that Li Zhi's figure had long since disappeared in the distance.
"Brother saved him, but he never looked back. The brothers in Prince Liang's Mansion are really deeply affectionate and loyal!" Li Suo smiled particularly desolately.
The brotherhood in Prince Zhao's Mansion is no better than plastic!
Zhang Wen glanced at him and said, "Don't worry, little man. I'll go back and look for some good medicine. Maybe the knife marks can be restored."
"The women in the palace are willing to give their souls to evil ghosts for the sake of beauty, but those with scars will still have scars. Although Prince Zhao's palace has many resources, can it be compared with those in the palace?"
Zhang Wen sighed: "Li Zhi deserves to die!"
"I admit it by taking laxatives. It's harmless and won't harm their future." Li Suo sneered.
Zhang Wen said: "Li Han is stupid, Li Zhi is ruthless, and the next generation of Prince Liang's family has no hope."
"Where is Prince Zhao's Mansion?"
Li Suo asked casually.
Zhang Wen took a deep breath, "I think those brothers who can compete with Xiaolangjun to inherit the kingship will have some minor incidents, or their reputation will be ruined, or... they will have their arms and legs broken."
"Don't shout and kill, we are brothers after all."
"Yes, Mr. Xiao Lang is kind."
As the heir that the Zhao Palace has devoted all its efforts to cultivate, Li Suo has resources that other brothers cannot match. With just a few, he can make other brothers withdraw from the competition for the succession of the king.
But it depends on his father's wishes. If his father still loves him, he will acquiesce. If his father feels that there is no hope for him, he will stop him.
Just like the women in the harem competing for favor.
Zhang Wen suddenly roared.
It turns out that the distance between the two parties has become much closer.
This long roar is a warning. If it doesn't stop, it will continue to die.
"Hey! If you leave me, he won't dare to kill me anyway!"
"But he will humiliate you." King Wei hugged Li Han with his backhand.
"Don't you often say that I am shameless? Just humiliate me!"
"You are shameless, so why did you come to save your brother? Don't tell me that you have any brotherhood with him."
After his mother passed away, Li Zhi was taken to Li Zhen's care because he was still young. He did not know anything else and learned all about Li Zhen's ruthlessness and viciousness.
"I promised grandma."
"Your mother-in-law has been gone for many years. Besides, your brother is Li Zhen No. 2. Your mother-in-law has knowledge underground, so she definitely doesn't want you to rescue him."
"When did you become so sharp-tongued?" Li Han struggled for a moment, but couldn't break free. "If he is gone, I will lose my home."
King Wei remained silent.
Li Han asked: "Hey! Then why did you come to save me?"
King Wei said with a straight face, "You eat my food and drink my food, how much do you owe me?"
"I have never heard of a creditor rescuing his debtor."
King Wei said: "You said you would be my king's military advisor."
The sound of passing through the air came from behind.
"I can't bear it anymore, pull out the towel!"
The military advisor smiled bitterly behind him.
King Wei looked back and pulled gently.
The face towel was blown away by the wind.
"It's King Wei!"
Zhang Wen fell from the air like a big bird that had been hit by an arrow.
"It's him!" Li Suo's body was shaken, and he shouted through gritted teeth: "Zhang Wen."
Zhang Wen landed and immediately rushed forward, "The villain is here!"
"Get Li Han down!"
He wanted to see if Li Zhi could remain indifferent with Li Han in his hand.
"Send the news back, I want to make Li Zhi infamous."
"Take your orders!"
Zhang Wen's figure flashed rapidly, as fast as a galloping horse.
When he got closer, he stretched out his hand to grab Li Han.
King Wei gave a backhand punch.
Boom!
King Wei's body shook.
Zhang Wen smiled ferociously, "Your majesty, please give way!"
In the view of the clan, unless the emperor abolishes the Yang family and appoints the Qiao family as his queen, King Wei will not be able to enter the East Palace no matter how hard he tries.
The princes other than the prince are an idle clan.
As long as they don't act cruelly, who does Prince Zhao's Mansion fear?
Thinking of this, Zhang Wen felt calm, but he could no longer hold his breath, so he stopped and waited for the war horse to come over and jump on the horse's back.
This section of the official road has many potholes, forcing both sides to slow down.
There are fields on both sides, which can be passed quickly, but it is dangerous to accidentally get a horse's hoof stuck in it.
