Li Xizhi was not very concerned about the current situation of the Li family in Longxi.
He has lived in Shannan for several generations, and is quite far away from the Li family in Guanxi. When he came north this time, the Li family in Longxi actually remembered having a descendant like him, which surprised him a little.
Of course, if you think about it, you will understand that he served as Minister of Industry in Liang State, so he naturally attracted much attention...
It's just that unlike Gao Shilian, who has a heavy responsibility, he doesn't really need the help of the Longxi Li family, so the rise and fall of the Longxi Li family doesn't have much to do with him.
If Li Daoxing can come to visit him, that's out of love, but if he doesn't come, that's also his duty...
Of course, the benefits of Li Daoxing being able to visit him are also obvious. He can have a sumptuous meal of food and wine, sleep warmly at night, and know Tang Ting's attitude towards Jiang Ren.
.
"The eldest brother asked me to tell my uncle that as long as he doesn't ask him to go, he can stay in Chang'an for a year and a half, and he will be reused in the future. During his stay in Chang'an, my uncle may serve in the household department, Taichang, craftsmanship, etc., as an official.
He is definitely not as noble as before. Uncle must not complain...
Of course, my uncle has such an open-minded temperament that he would not be as fussy about it as those people. It seems that my nephews are overly worried."
The drunk Li Xinzhi laughed loudly, slapped the table and said: "The water is placed on the ground, and it flows in the southeast, northwest and northwest. Life also has a destiny. How can we sigh and feel sad again? Drink wine to forgive yourself. It is difficult to break the road of singing with a toast.
.How can you feel that your heart is not wood or stone? You hesitate and dare not speak."
Southerners like to write poems to express their feelings, especially after drinking. If they don't sing a few lines, they will feel uncomfortable all over. Unfortunately, no one answered here.
Li Daoxing just slapped his hands stupidly and poured wine and food for his uncle, but he did not understand Li Xinzhi's feelings about the world and his own situation.
Of course, as a serious member of the family, Li Xinzhi would not lament the shortcomings of the family like Bao Mingyuan and hurt himself because of his life experience. Li Xinzhi just felt that entering Chang'an would be like entering a prison, and he would have to be more careful with what he said in the future.
.
As for whether Li Daoxing could respond, he didn't care. He knocked on the table and sang again: "The beacon fire shines on Xijing, and I feel uneasy. The teeth are saying goodbye to the Phoenix Tower, and the cavalry is circling the Dragon City. The snow is dark withering the flag paintings, and the wind is mixed.
The sound of drums. It is better to be a centurion than a scholar.
Alas, today’s man is both civil and military, but I don’t know what kind of person he is?”
Speaking of the emperor, Li Daoxing immediately became alert even though he drank a lot. He looked around subconsciously and lowered his voice.
"Uncle, please don't be like this. My brother said that the Supreme Lord has great power and selects talents with great discretion. He is gradually becoming a wise king. We just need to move forward with all our strength and don't care too much, otherwise... we will die.
also."
Li Xinzhi smiled and said to himself that this was nonsense. If it weren't for Mingjun, how could we be in the trouble we are in today? But it can be seen from his nephew's trembling attitude that he did not dare to say a bad word behind his back.
The previous discussions in Gangneung City may have been quite different. The overall situation in Kansai has been decided early, and it does not look like it is uneasy and unstable.
After talking with Li Daoxing for a long time, Li Xizhi gradually became prepared for how he would behave when he saw the emperor later. This was the benefit of having someone to guide him.
In fact, what Li Xizhi is more interested in is how Xiao Lang and others will be treated. They are Emperor Xiao's confidants and the initiators of this year's war.
In the past two years, he had a lot of fun fighting with the kings, Zhou Faming and others. After the kings died, he gradually became more powerful. He flattered the king at the top and controlled the courtiers at the bottom. It was very difficult for people to look at him. He was from the Shannan family and his ancestral home.
And people in Kansai basically have no voice.
At this point, he naturally wouldn't want these people to have an easy time.
……………………
After sending Li Daoxing away, Li Xinzhi invited his son and nephew. They didn't mind the leftovers and wolfed them down while sitting there. It was obvious that they had suffered a lot along the way. With their lives in danger, the teachings at home had already begun.
They were all left behind the second door.
Li Xinzhi looked very sad, and his desire to let them take risks to inquire about the situation faded away. The journey was difficult, so they should take care of themselves while traveling.
What surprised him was that soon after Li Daoxing left, someone else came to visit him.
He also didn't quite understand. He didn't have any relatives in Chang'an, he was considered a typical "outsider", and he was a descendant of the Liang Kingdom. Why did people come to see him one after another?
Does the emperor really value him so much? Didn't the news spread too quickly?
The person who came this time was none other than Li Daoxing. The person who came was Secretary Cheng Xue Deyin. He was also accompanied by Liangzhou Sima Zhang Gongjin. He also brought some good wine and food, which made Li Xinzhi have some illusions.
Will your head be damaged after eating and drinking? This is very much like depriving yourself of food.
What surprised him even more was that both of them claimed to be entrusted by the former Pingyang Princess Li Xiuning to visit her uncle. This immediately made Li Xizhi have many associations with the state of the Li family in Longxi, and they were extremely confusing.
.
And looking at his drunken appearance, the two of them understood that he was drinking to drown his sorrows, right?
Xue Deyin's official career is now very stable, and he may be promoted to secretary-prior supervisor this winter. His first task is to help secretary-supervisor Wen Yanhong study the history of the Sui Dynasty. Both he and Wen Yanhong were promoted to bachelor's degree in Guanwen Palace.
It was the first time that Li Po distributed such honors after taking control of Chang'an, not only because of their reputation in the literary world, but also because of their contribution in the establishment of Chang'an Academy.
The albums in Guanwen Palace are all under the supervision of the secretary. If you want to transport them to Chang'an Academy, it will definitely not be possible without the hard work and trouble of the secretary.
Xue Deyin was also demoted, and he behaved very honestly as a person who had gone through hardships. Now he only wants to fix the history of the Sui Dynasty. He regards the secretary prison as his home and has no interest in anything else.
If the princess hadn't sent him a message, he wouldn't have come here to see Li Xizhi.
Zhang Gongjin is similar. He is in the rising stage of his official career. In Liangzhou, he is highly trusted by Li Wu, the general manager of Liangzhou. He will definitely have a share of the merits this winter.
I came back to Chang'an to escort food and grass back, and I won't leave in the winter. If I want to visit Li Wu's old friends, the Princess Mansion is a must-go stop.
The main branch of the Li family in Longxi is crumbling, and Li Xiuning is working hard to increase its support. The fact that a woman is supporting the family really makes Li Xinzhi, who does not know the inside story, feel uncomfortable.
The two people who came were also a little embarrassed. They didn't talk about how the princess was doing. The other words they said were similar to Li Daoxing. They just asked Li Xinzhi to wait patiently and not to think wildly.
Their news was obviously more clear. After they were sent away, Li Xinzhi, who had already drunk too much, was thinking dizzy, could it be that the Li family in Longxi has become a woman-head, so what are the Li Daoxing brothers doing?
