Chapter 346: Showdown
First of all, the respected Buddhist master, then the prince of King Ning, who has a deep background, and then the princess of a country with a noble status, and finally even the holy decree of today's son has arrived, and the grandson of the Li family, who has just been named the son of Chang'an County by His Majesty, instantly became the only and absolute protagonist in the field, including the old lady herself, no one cares about the 60th birthday anymore.

Li Yi felt guilty about this, but the old lady didn't care about it, but was even happier than before, as if this matter was more important than her sixtieth birthday.
This is not surprising, after the founding of the country, although the country has been in turmoil for decades, it is generally stable, and it is almost impossible to earn a knighthood by military merit, at most it is just a reward for officials.
When today's son has been in power for more than ten years, he is deliberately reducing the title, and there are very few people who have been knighted, and those who have been awarded the title of viscount in Beijing County are the first one in recent years.
What does this represent, it is naturally self-evident, for the sake of the continuation of the Li family, the old lady can't give him more things, and it is inevitable that she will feel guilty in her heart, and now it seems that what the Li family can give him, how can she be worthy of the emperor's grace?
What could be better than being favored by God?
There was such a big movement at the old lady's birthday banquet, and Li Yi would naturally be overwhelmed by all kinds of problems during the banquet.
Of course, it includes what is going on between him, the prince and the princess, and what does it mean to be credited one by one in the holy decree......
Li Yi only briefly said a few things that he met with His Royal Highness the Prince and the princess in Qing'an Mansion, and did not expect it to be of such great use to the country, as for chatting with the emperor in the garden, and pulling him back from the ghost gate by the way, for their sake, Li Yi did not mention a word.
Li Mingze and others only knew that Li Yi's position as county lieutenant was personally sealed by His Majesty's imperial pen, but they did not delve into it.
However, with the arrival of the knighthood decree tonight, everyone finally understood how much His Majesty valued him.
However, the twenty-year-old viscount, no one knows where he will go in the future, and the Li family is still too young for him after all.
Li Mingze thought for a moment, looked at Li Yi and said: "I was still hesitating before, whether to leave the position of the head of the family to you in the future, but now it seems that for the sake of the Li family, the position of the head of the family is handed over to you, and it is really the most suitable." ā
When Fang Shi heard this, his face changed drastically, but he only lowered his head and did not speak.
Now is not what it used to be, a county son who is less than twenty years old, even if her husband now gives up the position of the head of the Li family to him, no one in the Li family will object.
The expression on the old lady's face remained unchanged, and she also looked at Li Yi, obviously supporting her son's decision.
At the same table, the core figures of the Li family were not surprised by the words of the head of the family, if a family wants to continue for a long time, maintain prosperity forever, and not decline, it requires the unremitting efforts of each generation of family heads.
Although Li Minghan is the eldest son, he will not be a good head of the family, it can be seen from his elopement with an ordinary woman in his complete disregard of the family, over the years, if it were not for the hard work of the current head of the family, the Li family would have declined long ago, and it was far worse than it is now.
And the younger generation of the Li family, including the son of the head of the family, does not have any outstanding figures, not to mention that they have no ability to lead the Li family to glory again, and they don't even have the ability to maintain the status quo.
At this time, handing over the future of the Li family to Li Yi, who has a holy family and has a close relationship with the royal family, is obviously the best choice.
Moreover, he is the grandson of the Li family, and all this is justified. Neither outsiders nor the Li family are qualified to point fingers at this.
Liu Ruyi looked at everyone, then at Li Yi, and saw that the atmosphere was unusually silent, and the chopsticks that had been stretched out were taken back.
Being watched by everyone's eyes, Li Yi suddenly smiled and said: "Second uncle, I was born in Qing'an Mansion and grew up in Qing'an Mansion, in fact, before coming to the capital, I just thought that I would go back immediately after my grandmother's birthday, and I never thought of being the head of the Li family, if it weren't for His Majesty's holy decree, I would have set off in two days at most." ā
Hearing this, Fang Shi on the opposite side raised his head slightly. A flash of disbelief flashed in his eyes.
Li Mingze wanted to say something, Li Yi said again: "I, like my father, am not the material for being the head of the family, the Li family is in my hands, I am afraid that it will decline faster, the second uncle is now in the prime of life, the Li family is under your management, so that it will not decline, as for the future------ it should be Yingjie and Yingcai's business." ā
Li Yi is not modest, the small days of firewood, rice, oil and salt are what he likes, there are Ruyi, Ruyi, Xiaohuan, everywhere is home, he has the confidence to live such a day well.
As for being the head of a big family, every day for the rise and fall of the family and exhaustion, painstaking, calculating and calculating the past, I am afraid that he will die in less than two years, what is the meaning of such a life, even more terrible than the deceit in the officialdom.
Under the pressure of Chen Guogong's Mansion, he can still run the Li family like this, his second uncle is suitable for this business, for the sake of the Li family, and for his own sake, Li Yi felt that it was necessary to explain these words first.
Fang raised his head and looked at Li Yi in a daze, the look of shock in his eyes even stronger.
He never thought of being the head of the Li family, and he never thought of taking away everything that should belong to him from them?
So, the things she did, in his eyes, were actually a, no, a lot of jokes?
The title, the holy family, and the friendship with the prince, the princess and even the master of Tanyin, these things are far more important than the Li family, he has them at his fingertips, but he still deeply thinks that he has a plan against the Li family?
After breathing a sigh of relief in his heart, Fang's head lowered again, his face flushed, and he longed for a hole to be drilled into.
Li Mingze frowned slightly, Li Yi's words were very resolute, not only will he not be the head of the family now, but he will not be the head of the family in the future, Yingjie and Yingcai are mediocre and mediocre, after a hundred years, the decline of the Li family has become inevitable, unless in his lifetime, the Li family can be brought to a higher level.
However, this matter is almost impossible to achieve in his hands, a nominal viscount, far inferior to His Majesty's personal title of Shiyi County, if his title can be promoted again, the status of the Li family will also rise, but the premise of all this is that he is willing to become the head of the Li family.
Seeing Li Yi with a smile on his face, but his attitude was extremely firm, Li Mingze didn't say anything more, this matter still needs to be considered in the long run.
