After listening to Li Xin's words, Lord Fujun's face changed slightly.

Today's Li Xin is no longer the poor boy he took care of two years ago, the current Marquis of Jing'an, can be said to be the first celebrity in the Taikang Dynasty, and the number of times he has seen the Son of Heaven is even more than the number of times that the Zaifu of Shangshutai have seen the Son of Heaven, and what he said is very credible.

Li Ye looked left and right, saw that there was no one around, and lowered his voice.

"What does Jing Anhou mean by this?"

Li Xin smiled indifferently: "Is there still a connection between Lord Fujun and the Li clan of Zhao County?" ”

"And."

Li Ye's face was slightly gloomy, and he bowed his head and said: "My father was born in the Li family of Zhao County, and although he later set up his own door, the old man still often went home to worship his ancestors over the years. ”

"The era of the clan gate valve is coming to an end."

Li Xin's voice was calm.

Before Emperor Wu, the five kingdoms in the world stood side by side, and at that time, the most noble people in the world were not necessarily the royal families of the five countries, but the sons of these families who were born in families.

The life span of these families can reach more than 1,000 years, the country is dead and the family is not dead, each family has mastered a large number of talent reserves, they monopolize knowledge, master the right to academic discourse, this situation in the Northern Zhou Dynasty dominance, once reached its peak.

How exaggerated was it at that time?

Zheng Gui, the head of the Zheng family in Xingyang, said that when his father came to the capital, the Great Jin Dynasty at that time was still the Southern Jin Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River, and the emperor of the Ji family was going to personally greet these family heads and treat them as guests.

This situation was broken by Emperor Wu.

At that time, the most powerful country in the world was the Northern Zhou Dynasty, so most of the clans were officials in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and only a small part of the family sent a little branch to the other four countries as officials, the purpose was not to put their eggs in one basket.

At that time, the two brothers of the Li family of Zhao County, Li Zhijie and Li Zhili, were separated from the Li family of Zhao County under this circumstance and settled in Jinling.

Later, when the war was about to start, Emperor Wu did not even dare to use Li Zhijie, a person from a family, to attack the Northern Zhou Dynasty, but tried his best to override public opinion and used Ye Sheng's "mud legs". ”

Then, Old Man Ye used a big gun to smash the seemingly huge and mighty Northern Zhou.

This was the prelude to the decline of the world.

After that, although the power of these clans was greatly weakened, they did not suffer a fatal blow, after all, after the Great Jin Dynasty dominated the world, they still adopted a soft policy towards these clans.

What is really fatal is the scientific expedition.

The scientific examination is actually a new thing, originally only the Southern Jin Dynasty, a place where the literary style is prevalent, will use the scientific examination, the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Southern Shu and the like, most of them are elected from the family, and there is basically no need for examination.

But after the Great Jin Dynasty dominated the world, the scientific expedition was promoted to the world and enforced.

Of course, in terms of scientific research, the children of the family with a monopoly on knowledge still take a great advantage, so that many of the magistrates from the scientific examination in Dajin today have a family background.

The last straw that killed the family was the seventh year of the miraculous work of Emperor Wu, a craftsman in a bookstore, who came up with a mature engraving print.

This led to the fact that the family no longer monopolized knowledge, from Emperor Wu to the Chengde Dynasty, two generations of emperors vigorously promoted the imperial examination, and now more than 30 years have passed, and the influence of the family is weakening step by step.

A good example of this.

Now among the five Zaifu of Shangshutai, only Zhongshu Ling Ram Shu is from a family, and he is not a big family, and the other four people are all from the ordinary landlord class and have entered the office from the scientific examination.

And those old clans can only control some places and cannot dominate the government.

Take the Li Ye in front of him as an example, his father Li Zhili was an official in Jinling during the year of Emperor Wu's vertical arch, that is, when the Great Jin Dynasty had not yet unified the world, and by Li Ye's generation, he was already a Jin man with strong roots, even so, this lord of the mansion lingered at the door of Shangshutai for nearly ten years, and he was still not allowed to enter the door, and was pressed to death in the position of Jing Zhaoyin.

Several generations of the emperors of the Great Jin Dynasty have been digging pits and filling soil for the clan.

It is precisely because of this that these clans are willing to gamble their lives and take risks with Li Shen, because only by changing to a new day, these gradually declining clans will have the opportunity to regain the right to speak.

As Li Xin said, the era of the clan gate valve has come to an end, and even the tomb has been dug, and the generation of Taikang Tianzi and Li Xin is the last filler.

Of course, the old man of the Shi clan, who was all in the ground from the neck down, was not willing to die out like this, and it wanted to jump again, so they hit it off with the Ping Nanjun and the waste prince.

Li Xin looked at the old man in front of him with a smile.

"After Lord Fujun is busy here, he will close the door when he goes home, and keep a low profile, as Fujun said, Li Shen is dead, even if there is a big change, it is unlikely to implicate Fujun."

Speaking of this, Li Xin paused.

"If something really bad happens to the prince, Li Xin can help."

As he spoke, Li Xin left the only surviving small courtyard of the Pingnan Hou Mansion.

Li Ye looked at the back of this young man leaving, stunned.

This young man who was embarrassed two years ago is a little incomprehensible to what he is saying now.

…………

Li Xin did not leave the Pingnan Hou Mansion, but turned around and went to another courtyard.

This courtyard has been burned to a scorched earth, and the burnt wood is no longer there, and it has been moved out by Qianniuwei, leaving only a bare flat land and a broken courtyard wall.

But in this yard, there is a cellar.

This cellar was discovered early in the morning, and it was here that the twenty-seven members of the Zheng family in Xingyang were discovered, and then they were arrested by Qianniuwei, and Li Xin also came here to see it.

He followed the entrance of this tunnel and entered this cellar.

The cellar was empty, only a stone table remained, empty and silent.

Li Xin took a torch and shone it on the left and right of the entrance of the cellar, and then he turned back to the guards behind him and said, "You guys are guarding here, I'll go down and take a look." ”

"Yes."

In this way, Li Xin held the torch and jumped down.

After looking left and right in the cellar and knocking around, Li Xin did not notice anything unusual, and then he sat down at the stone table.

This young Marquis of Jing'an seemed to be talking to himself.

"For more than a month, I've been wondering where you're hiding, but after thinking about it, you should be hiding here."

It's dark under the lights.

Li Shen wanted to hide under the noses of the three guards, it was not safe to hide anywhere in the capital, and the safest place was this cellar that had been searched and caught.

It's not likely to be visited a second time, so it's the best place for Tibetans.

Therefore, Li Xin suspected that there was not only one layer in this cellar, but also another layer, and Li Shen had been hiding here for more than a month.

But he had knocked around and found no secret door.

He sat down, his voice calm.

"I don't know if you can hear it, but you can hear it."

Li Xin closed his eyes, and his voice was clear: "Today, the funeral is being held for you above, that is to say, from today onwards, you, and your wife, will be dead." ”

"Don't worry, whether you're here or not, I'm not going to find anyone to come and dig this cellar."

A mocking smile appeared at the corner of Li Xin's mouth: "If you are really here, then today I will spare your life, and you should return the life you gave me, and in the future, you and I will have grievances and complaints, and revenge." ”

"Whether you can escape from the capital or not depends on your ability, I won't stop you."

After saying these words, Li Xin felt a lot more comfortable, he stood up, glanced left and right at the empty cellar, and smiled: "Li Shen, you are a person..."

"It's boring."

After saying this, Li Xin climbed up the same way.

After he had left the cellar for a pillar of incense, somewhere in the cellar suddenly there was a discordant sound.

It was as if a piece of jade pendant had been smashed.
