Leaving the dynasty and changing the dynasty, the superior will seal the whole family, not only their direct relatives, as long as they can be named, they will follow the chicken dog to heaven.

The reason for doing this is that he has finally come out on top, so he naturally has to be public, pretending to be a ** in front of relatives and friends, and more importantly, once the dynasty is changed, there must be a group that wholeheartedly supports the new dynasty.

This new group is naturally the new royal family.

Back then, the woman hated her mother's brother so much, and she had to reuse the children of her own family and reward her nephew surnamed Wu, which is the reason.

As Xiao Zhiping said, although the Southwest Group is all subordinate to Li Xin, they do not have the same surname as Li Xin after all, and most of them have no blood relationship with Li Xin.

I have to say that this small family in Qiyang County is very cautious in everything, but it is very accurate in this matter.

If it weren't for Li Xin's preparation for this, then he might really want to reuse these people from his mother clan as a force to consolidate the imperial court in the future.

Governor Li sat on the main seat and looked at Xiao Zhiping with a smile.

"When I returned to Yongzhou more than ten years ago, I made it clear to you, since that day, my mother and I have nothing to do with the Xiao family, for the sake of your family giving birth to my mother, I have not touched your family at all, and I have even acquiesced to you using my reputation to make a fortune in Qiyang over the years."

Speaking of this, Li Xin paused and said slowly: "I wanted to scold you a few words, but it's really not worth it to be angry with you, where are you going back and forth, I don't need to use your own family members by my side, besides...... I am not the same surname as you. ”

Xiao Zhiping swallowed his saliva a little nervously, kowtowed to Li Xin and said: "Master Hou, Xiaomin doesn't dare to expect to be an official in the imperial court, but this kid is really interested in learning, and I invite Master Hou to see it...... The old lady's face is to take in this child......"

"The father of this child is ...... The old lady's favorite nephew back then. ”

Li Xin's mother, Xiao Qinglan, is Xiao Zhiping's own sister, but Xiao Zhiping can only call his sister "old lady" in order not to anger Li Xin.

Li Xin put down the paperwork in his hand, got up and glanced at the child surnamed Xiao, his face expressionless.

After a long time, he looked at Xiao Zhiping, his voice a little hoarse.

"You people are bent on climbing up, but you don't know that standing on a high place is not only beneficial, the higher you stand, the more dangerous it is."

"It's true, I'm pulling you lightly now, not only this child, all of you in the Xiao family can come to the capital, but it's easy to get to the capital, but it's not easy to survive in the capital."

"You are in Qiyang or even in Yongzhou, even if you suffer one day, at most you will be bankrupt, if you fall in the capital, maybe you will ...... The fate of the three tribes. ”

With Li Xin's current ability, don't say who to stretch out his hand to pull, as long as he says lightly, he can make a person or even a family rise to the top, but as Li Xin said, a high position is not necessarily a blessing, you are not capable enough to sit in this position, and being "boosted by seedlings" may bring disaster to your family.

Xiao Zhiping's wish is very simple, their Xiao family wants to leave a child in the capital, this child is best to grow up in Li Xin's Jing'an Hou Mansion, so that no matter what, this child can get an official position in the capital in the future, so that the Xiao family can also rely on this child to slowly jump away from the kind of place in Qiyang County to the capital and become a "big family".

Xiao Zhiping knelt on the ground with his grandson, kowtowing speechlessly.

Li Xin looked at the two ancestors and grandchildren silently, and then asked slowly, "Let me ask you a word." ”

"When my mother died of illness in Qishan, did you, the Xiao family, ever feel a little sad?"

Xiao Zhiping knelt on the ground, crying bitterly.

"It's been there for a long time."

He wept and said: "Ah Mei grew up watching me, and she was also my father's favorite child in my early years, if it weren't for this, my father wouldn't be angry like that when she made a mistake......

"My little sister was only thirty-three years old when she left, and I, as an elder brother, couldn't help but sigh every time I thought about it......"

"Alright, alright, don't say any more."

Governor Li's face was calm, and he said lightly: "Although I know that you are acting for me, I still feel a little more comfortable in my heart, and I think that if my mother hears these words in the sky, her heart will be a little warmer." ”

"This child can live in my house or study in the capital, but I have one thing to do with you."

Xiao Zhiping wiped his tears with his sleeve, kowtowed, and said, "That's what Master Hou ordered." ”

"I ...... My uncle has no children, but he should still have descendants such as nephews and grandchildren, I was worried about affecting outsiders over the years, so I didn't look for it, your Xiao family has been living in Qiyang County, go back and help me find my uncle's descendants. ”

"When my uncle's descendants arrive in the capital, this child of your Xiao family will be able to live in the capital."

Li Xin's uncle, that is, Xiao Zhiping's uncle, was shocked when he heard this, and immediately bowed his head and said: "Don't worry, Master Hou, Xiaomin will definitely help Master Hou find his uncle's descendants." ”

Li Xin's face was expressionless.

"Don't think about finding someone to coax me, I will send someone back to Qiyang with you."

"Xiaomin doesn't dare."

…………

Li Xin left this Xiao family, naturally he has his own ideas, in addition to the Southwest Group, he really needs to get a group of people who are loyal to him to come out, so that the Southwest faction will not dominate, and the power within the collective can reach a relative balance.

Second, if the world changes his surname, Li Xin's maternal family will indeed give some rewards, of course, Li Xin chooses to give rewards to his uncle's descendants, not the Xiao family in Qiyang.

After briefly receiving Xiao Zhiping's ancestors and grandchildren, it was almost dark, put down the scroll in his hand, got up from the warm pavilion, and returned to his backyard.

The snow in the backyard, although it had not been cleared, had already swept out the path of walking, Li Xin walked to the door of the eldest princess's courtyard, stretched out his hand and knocked on the door.

Originally, he was also the owner of this courtyard, and he didn't need to knock on the door when he entered, but a few days ago, the husband and wife had a conflict, and the eldest princess is still angry.

Li Xin stood at the gate of the courtyard and waited for a while, and the eldest princess's maid Cui'er sneaked to the door of the courtyard, and whispered to Li Xin through the courtyard door: "Master Hou, the princess is still quietly wiping her tears, but it is already better than a few days ago, do you want to come over in two days when she is a little less angry?" ”

At this time, it was still quite cold outside, and Li Xin was now at the door of the yard, touching his nose helplessly.

The eldest princess and Li Xin have been married for more than ten years, and the husband and wife have never quarreled and got angry, but this time, the ninth princess is indeed extremely angry.

Because...... Her eldest nephew, His Royal Highness Huaiwang, died of a violent illness for some reason.

This is something that will inevitably happen after Li Xin entered Beijing, but it has been delayed from the fifth year of Yuan Zhao to the first year of Yankang.

And the death of His Royal Highness King Huai is not the hand of Li Xin.

It was he who committed suicide by taking medicine after giving birth to a son.

Of course, before that, it may have been the receipt of some people's messages.

Li Xin was not involved in the whole process, but he acquiesced.

"Then I'll go to the warm pavilion to sleep tonight."

Li Xin sighed helplessly.

"You persuade the princess more for me, so that she doesn't hurt herself."

At this time, Li Xin's fourth child, who was also his youngest son, had just been born for less than half a year.
