Chapter 769 Discussion
Originally, they thought that the surname of Zhensun, which had not been known by many people for a long time, was once again famous because of a grandson-in-law, but this time it was in business, and it was not like before when he was involved in politics and needed to change his name.
So when he came to the Wang family compound today, Li Zhi was frequently reminded of the old love of the surname of the grandson, even Li Xia was here, and it couldn't stop a few old people at the scene who were higher than Wang Yan, the head of the Wang family, and cried sadly in the face of Li Zhi.
Li Zhi believes that there are at most three points of the reason for leaving the Sun family, but the three old men who are over 100 years old are sentimental because of old things, but they can't fake it.
Therefore, he accepted everything very sincerely, ignoring the excitement of some people who secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and just said to the three old men in front of him:
"A few old people, since they have a deep relationship with the Sun family, I can't be willing to be a bystander! You may also be a cultivator, and you have some small means in your hands, but you can ensure that the old men can extend their life span for more than ten years! ”
The three elders and the ancestors of the Eastern Mountains are all of the same generation, and this article alone is enough for Li Zhi to pay more attention.
Before the three of them could behave, they had already frightened dozens of Wang family members on the side, and these people were all face-faced figures, and none of them were under forty years old.
In the Tang Dynasty, when fifty years old was an advanced age, how could they not pay attention to Li Zhi's promise, since it was a material in the hands of a cultivator, and a medicine that could prolong life, of course, it was the legendary elixir and the like.
As a result, almost everyone's eyes widened suddenly, and they felt as if their hearts were about to jump out, wandering but unable to find an exit.
Excessive surprise is followed by fear, the appearance of the elixir, causing such a reaction is normal, some people are already anxious like ants on a hot pot, and beads of sweat the size of beans roll down from their foreheads.
The natural expressions of the three old men also showed a short period of sluggishness, but fortunately, Li Zhi didn't wait for them to speak, and a wisp of true yuan qi was already divided into three strands, and quietly escaped into their bodies.
At present, Li Zhi, using this way of combing the physique of ordinary people, can almost wave it casually, but it is enough for the other three people to be shocked and stunned, and the whole body is unimpeded.
With Li Zhi's eyes, Liqi, Fuchen, and Jiyuan walked up, each holding their palms against the vests of the three people, and the centenarian was in good health, and the degree of aging of the functions in his body could not bear the medicinal power of the longevity pill.
This requires further activation of the function after the refinement of the True Yuan, and the three of them are helping them to upgrade and become active temporarily.
At this time, Li Zhi took out three Yishou Pills, and did not forget to cover them up in his mouth: "You are lucky, at present, there are only these three left in my hand, it is called Yishou Dan, the ancestors of the Eastern Mountains took it, and now the vitality in the body is like sixty or seventy years old." ”
He took out this pill and used it for another purpose, that is, to verify the Taiyuan Lu family, which is also one of the four high gates, and the head of the family, Lu Yu, once took one, and Li Zhi specially explained to him at that time that he could not leak this matter.
Now that he saw that the people present didn't know anything, he was relieved, and some of the help he had given to the Lu family before seemed to be very trustworthy at this time.
However, the tea is very, with the assistance of Liqi and others, the three old men have already digested the pill, Li Zhi has explained before, and the Wang family has stepped forward to help the three of them to clean the dirt on their bodies.
At this time, everyone recovered from the state of being at a loss and having a chaotic mind, Li Xia knew how to see the stitches and needles, and immediately made a gesture of admiration: "It is said that Mr. Li is not an ordinary person, when I saw it today, it was really not bad, but I was so shocked that I couldn't close my mouth for a while!" ”
Li Zhi returned the salute and said with a smile: "King Jiancheng has also taken it, but at this time, you must not spread it out, otherwise it will cause a lot of trouble!" ”
His words were also equivalent to warning all the Wang family members present that as for Li Xia's entourage, they were not qualified to enter it.
When Wang Yan heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward and added: "No one in the Wang family will say it to the outside world, Mr. Li is relaxed!" ”
Taiping, who had been watching from the sidelines, said with a smile: "Mr. Li is really good to your Wang family, I have known him for a long time, and I can only get two pieces from him!" ”
Her words are very deep, but if you have a little brain, you also know what she is pointing at, which is to tell these people that even people in the royal family or important ministers in the court, few people have had such treatment, but you have to keep your mouth shut.
When the three old men returned, everyone could see that they had a new look on the surface, not only in spirit, but also in their neat and powerful gestures.
At this time, dinner time also came, and there was a table of people left in this hall, with a total of only a dozen people, including the two heads of the family surnamed Zheng and Cui.
Wang Huantang, one of the three old men, is Wang Yan's own grandfather and former head of the family, and led the three representatives to toast Li Zhi and Taiping.
was put down, Li Zhi got down to business, the Bohai Bay incident was not news to them, after all, Dengzhou was an area under the jurisdiction of their Shandong Shi clan.
Although Langya is also nearly a thousand miles away from Dengzhou, the influence of the three families can cover almost the entire land of Shandong, and the Lu family in Taiyuan still has some influence here.
Several of them were neighbors with the Li clan of Longxi and the Li clan of Zhao County, and the two Li clans were more near Hebei, and their influence could not reach Dengzhou.
These forces were the five famous high-ranking clans of the Central Plains at that time, all of whom were high-ranking officials in history.
Like other wealthy families, these families strengthened their position through constant marriages with the royal family and other clans.
However, when Gaozong ascended the throne, a decree was issued prohibiting these five surnames and seven families from marrying on their own, but the intricate relationship between them has been deeply rooted.
The gate valve system originated in the Eastern Han Dynasty, established in the Wei and Jin dynasties, reached its peak in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and then gradually declined.
It's just that under this system, family prestige is the highest standard to measure status, and only those whose ancestors have been big officials, have a high reputation, and have been big officials for generations, can be recognized as a member of the scholar class.
These nobles were particularly concerned about how to permanently maintain their superior clan prestige and maintain their special political and economic status.
In order to maintain their noble bloodline, they paid special attention to the marriage of the right family, and only allowed marriages between the same clans, and absolutely did not allow marriages with the landlords of the Shu nationality.
Therefore, in the Gaozong period, their influence could not be underestimated, which was the main reason why he wanted to issue a decree to prohibit it.
Among the seven families of these five surnames, even through the method of compiling a "family tree" together, the lineage of the scholar clan was clearly recorded for future reference.
It can be seen that the Tang royal family's deep fear of them is not without reason.
After hearing Li Zhi's further explanation of the purpose of coming, the expressions of the people present became more and more excited, they understood the benefits very well, and with the royal power of Princess Taiping joining in, wouldn't it mean that the Shi clan had the possibility of re-rising.
Of course, any of these people are also scheming people, how can they not see the doorway, seeing that the Empress Wu ascended the throne and sat in the palace and looked again, what kind of situation the royal family surnamed Li was about to face, they knew it.
The internal risk is self-evident, and it is bound to suffer the blow of the Wu family, but in Shandong, which is an acre and three points of land, they are also convinced that neither the royal family surnamed Li nor the Wu family will dare to suppress it lightly, because once a decision is made, it will only bring a period of civil war and strife.
Therefore, despite the excitement of these people's expressions, none of them spoke first, thinking that there were opportunities and crises in it, and this was not the time to express their attitude.
Li Zhi was not in a hurry, but patiently explained, and from time to time added his personal analysis and judgment of the future situation.
Listening to it, these people gradually understood that Li Zhi's words were related to the arrangement of Empress Yu, and they were not taboo with the ordinary princess Taiping beside him.
This shows that the beloved daughter of the Empress Wu and the celebrities around her are still focused on the surname Li, and what does Li Zhi mean to the royal family surnamed Li, they are very clear, so it seems that Li Zhi has begun to lay out for the rise of the royal family surnamed Li in the future.
Even if she is not an official of the imperial court, according to Wu Zetian's age, it can be roughly inferred that she will reign at most, and twenty years is also the most recognized mainstream of speculation among the people.
From this point of view, Li Zhi actually saw the layout twenty years later, which means that he attaches great importance to this cooperation, and it will be regarded as the top priority in the future.
Among them, commercial cooperation is only one of them, and the other inhumane purpose is to find a shelter for the members of the royal family surnamed Li.
Li Zhi has told the truth that the two sides of the Bohai Bay are connected to business, and the royal family surnamed Li is asked to participate in the latter purpose.
The previous decree prohibiting it was also done by Gaozong, and it was precisely because he knew that the Gaomen Shi clan on the Shandong border was not easy to provoke, so he would hit them with his idea.
Of course, they are not stupid, they understand the meaning of Gaozong's words, as long as they dare to take risks to help him keep some of the royal family, in the future, these people will be on the throne again, and they will be given the previous treatment of the five surnames and seven families.
In other words, the opportunities, risks and opportunities brought by Li Zhi coexist, and at the same time, it means that this decision is not easy to make, and it requires detailed consultation between them before they can come up with a final decision.
If it weren't for Li Zhi's explanation, Princess Taiping would not have understood the doorway, and it was precisely because she had a number in her heart at this time that she would speak:
"You are not in a hurry to express your position, we know the truth in our hearts, but there is no political significance in the first stage of cooperation, it is just a simple business! However, I also understand that because of the involvement of the royal family, it has added a layer of meaning to what should have been a pure business before, so I can understand how cautious you are. ”
As soon as this statement was spoken, everyone's psychological burden was much smaller, and then someone spoke out, first of all, Wang Yan replied:
"What Her Royal Highness the Princess said is very much, the first thing I think of is the emperor's attention, in my personal opinion, I will support it unconditionally, and there is Mr. Li mediating between them, isn't it? But at this time, more people need to be accommodating to make a decision, our Wang family will make a statement first, even if the five surnames and seven families make the opposite decision, our Wang family will also participate in a private capacity! ”
Such a statement also means that the attitude of the Wang family, in fact, they do not pay much attention to the influence of Gaozong, and put it in the first place, it is just a kind of verbal respect.
In fact, they just looked at Li Zhi's face, his strength was obvious to all, and the influence of the cultivation world among the people was, to a large extent, even greater than that of the imperial court.
Li Zhi has the strength to lead the cultivation world, his ferocity can slaughter the decent cultivation sect overnight, and there are more than one or two, if the martial queen does not have a fear of him, it is simply impossible.
If you are involved in his business, you have the conditions to survive for a long time, even if you have another responsibility to hide it, it is a secret matter, and it is not a big deal to participate in the business as a simple royal identity.
In the future, there was a conflict with Empress Wu, and Li Zhiding was in front, and then their Wang family, Wang Yan had nothing to worry about.
