Qinjiazhuang, the courtyard on the top of the mountain.
Fang Xuanling and other princes came hand in hand, with terrifyingly gloomy faces. They were all heroes who fought on the battlefield. How could they not have thought that there was something strange about the five hundred Turkic cavalry who suddenly appeared? If something happened to He'er, with Qin Huaidao's temper
Why don't you rebel?
Everyone doesn't want to see another war in the Tang Dynasty, but they don't mean they will condone Li Erhu.
Li Xueyan was pregnant, so it was not convenient to see guests, but the visitor had a special status. She was the only owner of the house at the moment, so it was rude to let the housekeeper receive her. So she waited at the door with a big belly, and saluted: "I have seen a lot of people in this generation."
Uncle, if you miss me from afar, please forgive me."
"You have difficulty moving, so there is no need to be polite. Come in and talk." Fang Xuanling said politely.
"Please come with me." After all, Li Xueyan is a lady and has seen the world.
The group came to the study room, where guests and hosts sat down. Li Xueyan skillfully boiled water and made tea, fulfilling her obligations as a host. She was full of curiosity, but did not dare to ask more questions.
After everyone sat down, Li Jing got straight to the point: "We're here to see if we can help and talk about the situation."
"Xie Shibo." Li Xueyan smiled gratefully and briefly explained the situation of being kidnapped.
After hearing this, everyone's faces became more and more ugly, and they exchanged glances with each other. Li Jing said again: "Everyone, I have been ill recently and plan to stay here for a while. Dear nephew, please make room for me."
Li Xueyan was not stupid. She could tell that Li Jing wanted to help. With Li Jing in charge, many things would be much easier to handle. She responded gratefully: "Thank you, Uncle Shi, for your concern. There is no problem with the house."
"Prepare a room for me too." Cheng Yaojin said with a dark face.
"Why are you here to join in the fun? The Holy Father has asked you to reflect at home and not to mess around in extraordinary times." Li Jing asked.
"I'm in a bad mood. An old injury has relapsed. I need to rest. Can't I stay here with you? As for the Holy Spirit, I'm quitting. I'll do whatever I want." Cheng Yaojin said with a dark face, fighting hard.
Throughout my life, I ended up being dismissed from my job and reflecting at home, which no one can live with.
Everyone understood Cheng Yaojin's mood, but they didn't know how to persuade him.
Li Jing sighed and said, "Have you decided?"
"Decided."
Cheng Yaojin said solemnly. Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, he added: "What are we working hard for for half our lives? It's not just that we have a family full of children and grandchildren, and we are blessed with many children. The eldest and second eldest brother followed Qin Xiaozi, and they have gained fame and merit. This life is not in vain.
, and now I am following the trade route, making more in a month than I am in a year, and my family has more money, so what else do I have to worry about? In the peaceful and prosperous times, when the world was full of literati, it was difficult for military generals to get ahead, so it is good to follow me in business."
If you think about it carefully, it really makes sense. Goguryeo and Tubo have been taken back, and the remaining Turks don't know when to fight. Military generals who are not civil servants can go to govern a county. They have to release Manan Mountain and put swords and guns in storage. There is nothing to do, so it is really better to go there.
Run a caravan to make money.
"I won't stay. I will ask the Holy Father what he wants to do at the meeting tomorrow. If you don't give a reasonable explanation, the old man will ask every day." Wei Zheng said angrily, and he was ready to slander someone.
Everyone knew Wei Zheng's temper, and his mood immediately improved when he thought of Li Er's expression when he was sprayed. Fang Xuanling thought for a moment and said, "I'll stay here too. Wei Zheng, take my letter of resignation with you when you leave, and submit it to the Holy Father in public at the meeting tomorrow."
.”
"Are you serious?" Wei Zheng asked, looking shocked.
Fang Xuanling nodded and said seriously: "The real purpose of the Holy One's support of the Zhaojun Li family is to balance the old and new forces. If you don't take action against the Qin Mansion, I don't care. But now it is different and exceeds expectations. Then withdraw and let Zhaojun Li
The whole family will be alone."
We are all human beings, and we can tell with just one point.
Wei Zheng smiled and said: "You are an old fox, you are good at retreating and advancing. If your family is really the only one, the Holy Emperor will definitely not agree to it. How about you guys? Do you want to join us? Several princes resigned at the same time, which will definitely leave their names in history.
Shocking the world, the Holy Spirit has a good name and will not let this happen."
"Okay, then let's get together and write down the planned things." Li Jing and others laughed.
Li Xueyan saw that everyone was having such a big time, and even resigned to force the Holy Emperor for the Qin government. She was filled with gratitude. At the same time, she knew more about the relationship between Qin Huaidao and everyone. She was secretly glad for her original choice. Looking at her father in the crowd, Li Daozong nodded, too.
My eyes are full of joy, it is enough to have a good son-in-law.
There was no shortage of pen and ink in the study room, and everyone wrote vigorously.
Letters of resignation were written one by one and put into Wei Zheng's hands, and Wei Zheng solemnly put them away.
It was said that he was resigning, but in fact he was forced to go to the palace and asked Li Er to choose one.
Even if Li Er gives up, it doesn't matter to everyone, but they will feel light-hearted. At the height of the Duke, his reputation has been taken lightly, and he pays more attention to the future of his descendants. If he follows Qin Huai's path, everyone will feel at ease and at ease.
Wei Zheng left in a hurry with the letter.
Li Xueyan quickly asked people to prepare the room, and then prepared a sumptuous meal for the reception. After eating and drinking, the princes found an excuse to leave, but in fact they went to discuss measures. Li Xueyan led his father Li Daozong to a room.
.
After the father and daughter sat down, Li Xueyan asked bluntly: "Father, there were so many people just now, and my daughter didn't dare to ask more questions. Is it really appropriate for the princes to be here? Will it cause trouble?"
"Don't worry, with old guys like them here, the Qin Family Village will be safe. As for the rest, it depends on the Holy One's choice. But no matter what, the Holy One does not dare to kill the Qin Family Village."
"Why?" Li Xueyan asked.
"Because the Dukes are here, if they take action, the Duke will definitely stop him, unless they kill him together. This is why they choose to stay. My father underestimated Qin Huaidao's status in their minds."
"Even if you take action, you don't have the strength to resist." Li Xueyan reminded.
Li Daozong smiled: "Yan'er, you have unique insights into government affairs, but you are too far behind in military affairs. Don't forget that there are currently six caravans in Qinjiazhuang. Each caravan has about 200 people, all of whom are retired veterans. Back then,
Qin Huaidao's choice of retired veterans now seems to be a hidden move. The six caravans have more than a thousand people, plus the transport teams running Tangluo Road to transport cement and Paomei Mountain to transport coal, the number is as high as about 2,000. These two thousand people can be used at any time.
It can be transformed into a fighting soldier, and it is also a veteran of hundreds of battles, so it can be used by thousands of people."
"Ah——" Li Xueyan really didn't think about this problem and was a little shocked.
Li Daozong continued to explain: "Believe it or not, those old guys said they were going for a walk, but in fact they were discussing countermeasures. They didn't dare to say anything else. At least they would send someone to inform the caravan to return to Chang'an later and find a place to hide and wait for the results. That means they would
These soldiers are hidden in case of emergency. Which of these princes is not an old fox?"
"My child understands that they are really sincere to my husband." Li Xueyan said with emotion.
"Yes, my father did not expect them to value Huai Dao so much. It can be seen that Huai Dao values love and righteousness, which makes people feel at ease. Otherwise, those old foxes would never be like this, and would even resign and force the palace. It is not surprising that you can marry such a person.
Fortunately, my father suddenly felt a little grateful to His Majesty for his decision." Li Daozong also expressed emotion on his face.
"My daughter thinks so too." Li Xueyan smiled happily, thought for a moment, and informed him of the two plans he had previously discussed with He'er.
After listening to this, Li Daozong pondered for a long time and then said: "Changing the nationality is a good way. It is beneficial to those who work. Who doesn't want to make more money and let their children go to school for free? This also has the advantage of completely binding them to Qinjiazhuang.
, I didn’t expect He’er to be so talented.”
"Yes, He'er is very smart. There are many and complicated accounts in the house, but she manages them in an orderly manner. My daughter admires them all when she sees them." Li Xueyan said with emotion.
Li Daozong showed a suspicious look and asked with some worry: "Qin Huaidao values He'er so much that he would not hesitate to entrust the family's financial power to him. What about you? If you don't master something, you will be left out in the future."
"Father, don't worry. Langjun has entrusted you with another important matter, no less than financial power. However, I promised Langjun not to tell anyone, and I also ask for father's forgiveness."
"In this case, I can rest assured, my father. I am not a person who is easy to inquire about. As long as you live a satisfactory life in the Qin Mansion, it will be fine." Li Daozong smiled with satisfaction.
"My daughter is doing well, and she gets along very well with He'er. My husband is not a favoritist, he is affectionate and righteous, and my daughter is very satisfied now."
"That's good. Once the plan is implemented, the college must be expanded. This matter is left to my father. Several princes have resigned. I'm afraid something big will happen tomorrow. When Qin Huaidao comes back, the Tang Dynasty... Well, although we are...
The royal family, but the Holy One...forget it, let him go." Li Daozong sighed, got up and left, feeling complicated.
One side is the interests of the extended family, and the other side is the interests of the daughter and the small family. It is time to make a choice.
Heaven’s heart is the heart of parents, nothing more than this!
