Li Geng was the winner of this reform, but after enjoying the special preferential treatment of the winner, he did not make changes to the family or make adjustments.

If Li Ming hadn't told everyone these things at the Li family's meeting today, I'm afraid that what was waiting for the Li family would be eliminated by the Qi State.

Once the fifth secretary of the Central Committee was Qi Xiaobai's preferential treatment to the Li family as the victor and as his supporters, but if you don't change yourself and you continue to hold such an important position, then what is the point of Qi Xiaobai's reform?

Li Geng looked at Li Ming and said, "I'm already old, the future of the Li family belongs to you young people, Li Ming, I'm ready to hand over the family to you!" ”

Li Geng is about to be 100 years old, whether he can live to be 100 years old is a question, even if he lives to be 100 years old, his body does not allow him to continue to toss, continue to think, and continue to do things for the Li family.

After all, his body is very different from what he used to be, and if he occasionally reads more books and letters, his head will hurt.

The Li family will one day be in the hands of juniors, and the Li family, like many aristocratic families, will not inherit with the eldest son for the sake of the family's prosperity, but with the capable.

This capable person does not need to be the Li family's clan, even the Pang family can be, as long as you are capable, as long as you have the blood of the Li family, then you can inherit everything in the family and lead the family to become strong.

Of course, this has a lot to do with the openness of the Li family, and it is also because of the open-mindedness that the Li family can survive in the Qi country for so long.

There are not many nobles in Qi State, there are new nobles every year, and there are nobles who decline because of some things every year.

And the Li family has been prosperous among the nobles for a long time, and there is a big reason for it, that is, his open-mindedness.

Although there are many aristocratic families who also implement the Li family, but the system they implement is only implemented among the clansmen, and does not involve the Pang family, but the Li family does.

After Li Ming heard Li Geng's words, he was stunned, he thought about inheriting the Li family, but he didn't think that he could inherit the Li family, although he claimed to be the most talented person in the Li family's generation.

But Li Qingtian of the Li family is not worse than him, the important thing is that Li Qingtian is the son of Li Geng, although the Li family pursues the creed of the capable being in the position, but if they are all capable, they still choose their own clansmen.

So in Li Ming's opinion, the person who inherited the Li family should be Li Qingtian, not Li Ming, but he didn't expect that Li Geng would plan to hand over the Li family to him now.

Li Geng looked at Li Ming, he saw the doubts in Li Ming's heart, why didn't he want to hand over the family to his son Li Qingtian?

He looked at Li Ming and said, "Li Qingtian is indeed a very talented person, and at the same time he is my son!" ”

"But his age is not young, even if he can be the head of the house, how many years can he be?" Li Geng looked at Li Ming and said.

Li Geng is almost 100 years old, and his son Li Qingtian is actually more than 60 years old, almost 70 years old, although he is the secretary of the court of Qi State, but he is not young, in this era, he can live to be in his sixties, seventy years old, that is a relatively long-lived person.

Although Li Geng is almost over 100 years old and still alive, whether Li Qingtian will die earlier than himself is another matter.

Li Ming was silent, it is true that although Li Qingtian is the same generation as him, the difference between the two is more than 20 years, Li Qingtian is already in his 60s, almost 70 years old, but he is only in his forties, and he is in the prime of life.

Li Geng looked at Li Ming and continued: "I choose a more important point, that is, among the five tigers of our Li family, you are the only one who has seen through all this in the Qi State Court!" ”

The five tigers of the Li family are the five Zhongqing of the Li family, namely Li Qingtian, Li Shaoyang, Li Ming, Li Shubao, and Li Yuanxiang.

Among them, Li Qingtian is the longest, Li Shubao is second, followed by Li Shaoyang, Li Ming, and the youngest is Li Yuanxiang.

"You have seen through all this, I believe that in the future of the court of Qi State, there will be a place for you, I believe that in the future, my Li family can still have someone to be the secretary, and Li Ming I am very optimistic about you!" Li Geng looked at Li Ming and said.

"I, Li Geng, did not become the secretary, but I hope that my juniors can become the secretary, and secondly, my Li family is called the Xiangguo family, it has been several generations, and I have not been the Xiangguo, which is insulting to the name of the Xiangguo family!" Li Geng looked at Li Ming and said.

Li Geng looked at Li Ming and said, "Li Ming, let me ask you, are you willing to accept the position of the head of the family?" ”

Li Ming was excited to become the head of the family, which meant that he could enjoy all the resources of the family, of course, Li Geng also wanted to give all the resources to Li Ming, and he felt that Li Ming had the opportunity to become the secretary of Qi and become one of the three prime ministers of Qi.

But Li Ming also knows that when he becomes the head of the family, everything he does must be beneficial to the Li family, but as a child of the Li family, everything he does must also be beneficial to the Li family.

Li Ming looked at Li Geng and said, "Since the head of the family is so loving, how can I, Li Ming, shirk it?" ”

Li Geng nodded: "When you come back from the envoy to the Jin Kingdom, I will abdicate in front of all the family members and let you be the patriarch of the family!" ”

"Along the way, you have to be more careful, according to my news, Zhao Sheng has cracked down on chivalrous organizations, making many chivalrous organizations run around and become bandits!"

"Completing the mission is number one, but your safety is also important!" Li Geng said to Li Ming.

As for saying that completing the task is the first, it is because Li Ming has made a military order, if he can't complete the task, it means that he must commit suicide and apologize, which is why Li Geng has to wait for him to come back and abdicate.

If you abdicate now, you don't complete the task, and you are given by Qi Xiaobai to commit suicide, wouldn't it be a leaderless family?

So from many aspects, Li Geng asked Li Ming to come back, giving him the position of the head of the family, and at the same time, this mission was also a test for Li Ming.

"I will send the best samurai in my family to accompany you!" Li Geng looked at Li Ming and said.

"The head of the family, one of the twelve chiefs of the secret guard, will follow us, we are relatively safe, the twelve chiefs of the secret guard, each of them is a top master!" Li Ming looked at Li Geng and said.

"I can't trust outsiders, let alone more people, with an extra layer of insurance, is the Twelve Secret Guards really so reliable? When they protected Zou Ji, they almost let Zou Ji die in Handan! Li Geng looked at Li Ming and said.

After hearing Li Geng's words, Li Ming was silent, and he was almost dead when he was protected by one of the twelve chief managers of the secret guard.

Li Ming looked at Li Geng and said: "This time Li Shaoyang also follows you, our Li family has five tigers, and one less tiger is a big loss, not to mention two less tigers!" ”

"And you are my optimistic successor, if you are solved by bandits and bandits, then what should I do with the future of my Li family?" Li Geng looked at Li Ming and said.
