Li Po was not interested in Li Zirou's family background. There were too many descendants of Li Mu, and the Yang family was deeply afraid of them. The Li family in Longxi was also in chaos, so when the war broke out at the end of the Sui Dynasty, people in their lineage died violently.
.
After Li Yuan took control of Chang'an, he also took precautions against people of Li Mu's lineage, but since he became the head of the Li family in Longxi, he could not attack his own clan.
Otherwise, the Li family in Longxi would have to engage in internal strife first.
Now that the Li family in Longxi is divided, everyone has finally returned to their original state. The branches are clearly separated and no one has contact with anyone.
…………
"Queen Yuwen Yubo of Gaochang, do you know who she is?" Li Po asked.
Li Zirou obviously relaxed. Li Yuan appeared in the Longxi Li family, causing trouble for everyone. Fortunately, after seven years, there has been no news, and there is no need to worry all day long.
Li Zirou couldn't help but remember that in the early years, when the brothers and elders in the family talked about the Hongnong Yang family, they would gnash their teeth or take pleasure in others' misfortune.
Now that it's my own family's turn, I can truly understand the feelings of the Yang family. I always feel like a sharp knife is hanging on the side of my neck. It's really not a human life.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Princess Huarong... is the daughter of my cousin Li Min. She was adopted to the Yuwen family when she was young. She married Gaochang for eight years. I haven't seen her for many years."
She was really a serious relative. Li Po became interested and asked, "Why did Yang Guang accept her as his adopted daughter back then? Logically speaking, there is a difference in seniority, right?"
Li Zirou was a little strange. Yuwen Yubo was his niece and had been to Gaochang for more than ten or twenty years. Why did the emperor ask her?
Then he remembered the news that the DPRK was preparing to send troops to attack Gaochang...
He didn't know that the two prodigal sons, the king and the queen of Gaochang, had left Gaochang and ran to the Tang Dynasty. Yuwen Yubo was one step ahead and was already approaching Chang'an.
"Chen Na's sister-in-law Yu Wen'eying is the only daughter of Princess Leping. She has been favored by Emperor Wen and his wife since she was a child. She has been raised in the palace for many years and is quite close to her uncle Yang Guang...
Maybe that’s why you accepted Princess Huarong as your adopted daughter?”
Li Po was caught off guard and was stuffed with a big mouthful of melon. Looking at the way Li Zirou was hesitating, he knew that there might be something hidden in it. Damn Yuwen Eying wouldn't have had an affair with her uncle and gave birth to Yuwen Yubo, right?
Yang Guang gave away his daughter, killed Li Min's family, and killed his own niece. Is it murder to silence or hatred caused by jealousy?
In an instant, the scene of royal love entanglement and love and killing appeared in Li Po's mind. Thinking about his career as emperor, it was quite normal.
He does know what the emperors of the Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties were like, but the former Sui Dynasty restored the unification... Yang Guang shouldn't be the person, isn't it because times have changed and everyone wants to pour dirty water on his head, right?
Li Po felt very comfortable eating the melon, but his expression remained calm, as if he didn't hear what Li Zirou was saying. He was very satisfied with Li Zirou.
He is relatively honest and does not dare to talk nonsense about Emperor Hu Nong. Well, this alone makes him better than many of his subordinates.
…………
"Queen Yuwen Yubo of Gaochang is coming to Beijing soon. Please accompany the people from Honglu Temple to receive her. It will be good to make her feel at ease by talking less gossip and talking more about family ties."
Ah? Li Zirou was a little dazed. He was revising the Book of Wei with Du Zhengzang and others in the secretary prison. He had not heard about foreign affairs for a long time. Today, when he entered the palace, secretary prison Wen Yanhong couldn't leave, so he asked him to do it for him.
Speaking of which, his official qualifications are very deep. He just joined the Secretarial Department, and if he wants to be promoted, he can only rely on opportunities. There is no way. The people of the Li family in Longxi have been like this in recent years, and he is not the only one.
I didn't expect that I would encounter such a change once I entered the palace. Yuwen Yubo... I haven't seen him for many years. At that time, he was still young, and he had only a few cousins and had little contact with him.
I just remember that the daughter adopted by my cousin into the Yuwen family has yellow hair...
Of course, there is nothing to say. He has worked in Honglu Temple for many years, and he is familiar with the process of receiving foreign envoys, so there is nothing difficult about it.
As for why Gao Chang came to the court, there was no need to ask. He still knew the news about the Turks' Western Expedition. There must have been war in the Western Regions, and Gao Chang came to seek protection from the Tang Dynasty.
…………
Li Zirou agreed, still thinking about the pros and cons in his heart. His eyes were almost blind when the secretary was supervising Shi Xiu, but he was actually very willing to come out for a walk.
Before he could figure out who Chou Yin was, Li Po turned around and asked, "Is Mrs. Chu Guo also your niece?"
Li Zirou raised her head blankly, met the emperor's gaze, and quickly lowered her head again. Then she remembered who Lady Chu was, and her heart stopped for a few beats.
Why are you mentioning Mrs. Chu again? I want to say that I have nothing to do with her, but I don’t know if the emperor believes it or not? The failure of the Li family in Longxi was due to too many relatives, and any bad thing could be found on them.
Look at the Queen of Gaochang, the Lady of Chu, and the many relatives who have no beginning or no reason. He, Li Zirou, has endured it with fear for half his life, why is it not over yet?
He sighed deeply in his heart and said, "Your Majesty, in terms of seniority, Mrs. Chu really wants to call me uncle."
After saying this, I almost yelled in my heart, but we really can't say that we have any relatives. When Li Yuan was alive, we didn't get much benefit. After Li Yuan died, the entire Longxi Li family was unjust.
Li Po looked at him putting on a pitiful look of hard training and couldn't help but smile. The Li family in Longxi flourished during the Jin Dynasty and the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It was mainly because they had the blood of the Xianbei people among them that they could prosper in the years of war.
stand up.
Of course, the men of the Li family in Longxi were all energetic and had prosperous descendants. One of the important reasons was that the Li family was said to be prosperous at that time. It was because the Li family in Longxi had already shown signs of being difficult to control.
But now the disadvantages of large numbers of people have emerged. Even if there is any trouble, even if it has nothing to do with most people in the Li family, you still have to accept it honestly. Who gave you the last name Li?
"Do you know that Mrs. Chu Guo has taken charge of the clan?"
Li Zirou nodded and said, "I have heard that Mrs. Chu is extremely talented and well-respected by everyone. She is the right person to be in charge of the clan."
Li Po nodded with a smile and said: "Mrs. Chu has taken on important responsibilities, but she still hasn't forgotten you relatives. When she came to the palace to see you before, she named you, and wanted you to join the clan to help her with the affairs.
Are you willing to go?"
Li Zirou was really shocked and shouted in her heart, Li Sanniang harmed me, don't I think I am a son of a human being? At least everyone's surname is Li, how could they do this?
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, the person in charge of the clan is responsible for guarding the mausoleums and temples, and is in charge of the royal sects and clans. In order to distinguish between Zhao and Mu, he will organize the relatives and strangers, divide the affairs of the common people, and determine the punishments of the clan. Only those who are dear to him can be appointed. What is the virtue of the minister?
