Chapter 41: The Final Decision (I)
The county government of Kaiming County, since the return of the Li father and son, has fallen into a dead silence, and Li Chengye, who was originally gentle and polite, has been a little moody these days.
Li Cunyi, who has always been majestic, made his subordinates even more cautious.
Contrary to the lively and joyful situation in Wenyang Fucheng, since returning from the ceremony, the Li family has been silent a lot.
This does not mean that the news of the relocation of the county sent above can be suppressed, only a few days, the entire county has spread, and the Li family is going to move out of Kaiming County.
All of a sudden, the hearts of the people in the county fluctuated.
It was late at night, but in Li Cunyi's study, the candlelight was still on.
The elegant and enlightened county magistrate was sitting at the desk at this time, his face tired.
In front of him, a document was unfolded, and although he didn't know how many times he had read it, it was still shocking, making him feel as if he had a sword piercing his heart.
“...... Li Cunyi, the magistrate of Kaiming County, is generous in his governance, and he is very popular with the people, and the town is very important. Li Chengye was young and promising, and he was specially given the position of Zhengjipin Yingzheng, which belonged to Taisu County. ”
“...... Lu Zhongcheng and Qian Xin, the commanders of Xuanwu in Yanshan, each led their guards and stationed in Taisu County to prevent an attack on Changding Town. ”
“...... Wang Yan was appointed as the county magistrate of Kaiming County. ”
“...... The above appointments will take effect immediately, but after the heir ceremony, they will each take office. ”
Others may not be able to see the meaning of this for a while, but he understands it at a glance, this is because the handsome man does not trust himself and wants to move the foundation of the Li family.
It's just that although I have made a decision, there are still some lucks and temptations.
's own son, marrying a handsome righteous woman as his wife, this handsome man also wants to give his Li family a few thin noodles, right?
At this ceremony, the father and daughter meet each other, and after many years of love, things can take a turn for the better, and it may not be said.
However, on the contrary, the marshal sent a political signal of obvious estrangement, this is a big deal, the Li family's henchmen are indeed intertwined, but they are not impregnable, once the marshal is estranged, those who tend to be inflammatory, I am afraid that most of them will be dispersed immediately.
His eyes fell on this document, Li Cunyi read it carefully a few more times, and sighed in his heart.
After all, it was a foregone conclusion.
At this time, there was a gentle knock on the door outside the door: "Husband, I cooked you some white fungus porridge, drink some while it's hot." ”
Mrs. Li Zhang's voice came from outside.
Li Cunyi also felt a little hungry at this time, so he cleaned up the paperwork on the table slightly, and said to the door: "Come in." ”
The door was pushed open, and a woman came in from outside, and saw a tray in her hand with a small cup of fragrant porridge on it, and the woman came to him with a light step, put the porridge down gently, and set the spoon in place.
Only then did he look at Li Cunyi with some concern, and said comfortingly: "Husband, no matter how busy you are with official business, you must also take care of your body." ”
Li Zhang is the wife of Li Cunyi's continuation, and she is also from a big family, although she is young, she is very virtuous, which makes Li Cunyi love her very much.
"Ma'am, I know, isn't something going on lately...... Hey, this porridge tastes very peculiar. Picking up the small cup, blowing gently, moistening the porridge slowly into the mouth, suddenly, a fragrance entered the tip of the tongue, and the depressed qi in his heart was immediately dispelled.
Li Cunyi closed his eyes very happily, sighed, opened his eyes, and looked at his wife: "How is this porridge different from the usual white fungus porridge?"
Li Zhang's Yingying smiled and said: "This is the recipe that my daughter-in-law found, saying that it is very effective to go to the fire, I saw it, so I asked for it, and I also made such a lamp, I want my husband to taste it, if it is really delicious, I will let the cook learn to make it in the future." ”
"You have a heart. "The wife is virtuous and filial piety, which made Li Cunyi's heart gradually calm down.
This porridge looks very good, and he has an appetite, so he eats it in one bite.
Li Zhang's stood aside, and when he saw that his husband drank the porridge in one gulp, he smiled and took the bowl away, and wanted to go out, but was called by her husband.
"By the way, have you ever seen Chengye today? If you see him, let him come to my study, I have something to look for him. ”
"Yes!" Li Zhang complied.
Seeing that her husband didn't plan to rest, it was not good to say anything as a wife, and then Li Zhang retreated.
After a while, Li Chengye walked in from the outside.
"Father, are you looking for a child?"
"Come and sit down, for the Father has something to ask you. Li Cunyi pointed to the seat opposite and said.
"No!" Li Chengye sat down in front of his father, but he only dared to sit upright.
Li Cunyi didn't pay attention to it, but said: "Chengye, my father asked you, what do you think about yesterday's ceremony?"
Li Chengye was silent for a moment, and suddenly picked up his clothes and knelt on the ground: "Father, the child is not filial, it is the child's surname, and in the Tian Chronicle, the father was implicated." ”
Li Cunyi sighed, lifted his eldest son from the ground, and said: "Why don't you understand, this Tian Ji and Zhou Zhu are all dedicated to my Li family, if my Li family can't even protect this little child, wouldn't it chill their hearts? ”
"It's just that the marshal ordered me to be reappointed as the county magistrate of Taisu County and move away from Ming County, that's all, we can make people think that this is important, but yesterday's banquet arrangement, so that people with eyes can see that this is the marshal is suspicious of my Li family, which is the most fatal part. ”
"After all, at this time, under our host's fence, it is not wrong for those people to take refuge in the Li family, but they are just tending to be inflammatory, and as soon as they see that we have lost the favor of the handsome, they will immediately alienate us. ”
"Tell me, how do you deal with it!" Li Cunyi stared at his eldest son and asked seriously.
Li Chengye was cold in his heart, and he understood in his heart that his father was assessing himself, although he was the eldest son and had the name Chengye, there were two younger brothers born to his stepmother.
This Li family seems to have a solid legal inheritance, but if it is not good at management, it may be a wedding dress for others at any time.
Lowering his head and groaning slightly, Li Chengye replied: "Father, the prosperity of Dafan is not only about grace and party henchmen, these people who tend to be inflammatory, without them they can't succeed, but it is not the key, now the handsome and mighty can also shock the whole town, this is the autumn frost and cold, the big waves and sand." ”
"At this time, the people who still follow us are loyal and virtuous ministers who can be relied on and reused, and our Li family must work with their monarchs and ministers to work together for a great cause. ”
Li Cunyi listened, "um", and said: "What you said is okay, but if the skin does not exist, Mao will be attached? If the Li family has no roots at all, no matter how loyal and virtuous we are, how can we be attached to it? How can our Li family survive this autumn frost and cold fight?"
This question is very harsh, Li Chengye thought about it, and said: "At the beginning of the success, only hope is also, in the past, Xie Xuanming, more than ten years of repeated battles, wandering all over the world, but the fame is full of the world, even when he is adrift, there are still a large number of people to follow, and finally rose at the age of fifty, pawning the foundation of the third Xie family." ”
"The father is known as a famous man, and the son is not talented, if he can build prestige, but he does not have to gain or lose a city or a place, as long as he has hundreds of soldiers in his hands, he can see the land of Shu and even the world, and rise between the cracks. ”
This is the last time Shi Weixing said this, Li Chengye went back to think about it repeatedly, and his eyes were opened.
After listening, Li Cunyi was speechless for a while, and sighed: "You, alas!
Li Chengye lowered his head and was speechless for a while.
A pair of large hands, pressed on his shoulders, the father's words, continued.
"Son, how can you not understand your ambition as a father? The difficulty of the land, what you want is your heart. The solver, the difficulty of people, what you want is your artificiality!"
"The reason why the Father asks you these words is not to reproach you, but to strengthen your heart, the more difficult it is, the more sincere you must be, and if you don't go through it, you won't become a dragon or a tiger. ”
"Wu'er, do you know the foundation of our Li family?"
"Father......" Li Chengye raised his head sharply and looked at his father in surprise.
I only heard Li Cunyi say in a heavy tone: "Now is also the time to confess to you." ”
Li Chengye held his breath and waited.
"Your great-ancestor Li Yu moved to Shu, when there was no great chaos in the world, for the position of the county, for the official integrity, after his death to choose a place to be buried. ”
"Seven days after the burial, a Taoist priest came to talk to your grandfather Li Ji, saying that our Li family had a coincidence, and the sky was secretly combined, and the dragon vein had been buried, and there would be great nobility in the future. ”
"It's just that the dragon vein still needs to be driven by heaven, there must be three generations of hidden dragons, but the dragon energy is precious, not to be wasted, if you take charge of the military power in advance, the killing will cost a lot, and it is not conducive to taking off, so your grandfather Liu Ji began to concentrate on literary affairs, govern one party, benefit the people, and accumulate yin virtue. ”
"And I followed. ”
"Three generations of Qianlong, your great-grandfather Li Yu presided over the dragon movement, is a generation, your grandfather Liu Ji turned into a civil service, governing the government, is also a generation, and I am the third generation, the hope of my Li family is on you. ”
"It is precisely because of the erection that there is difficulty, this difficulty has been experienced, and from now on, nothing will be unlucky, but your choice also determines the fate of my Li family, so I have always been strict with you, do you know?"
Hearing these news, Li Cunye finally realized that the Li family still had this secret.
And his father is a talent, but he has always behaved decently, when he needs support, he always provides assistance, he is ambitious, and he used to look down on his father's cautious actions, but now it seems that he is too immature, and his father is willing to be a hidden house!
If it weren't for his father's careful work, with Wang Zunzhi's surname, how could he tolerate the Li family taking root in Kaiming County for so long?
Li Chengye's surprise and emotion fell into Li Cunyi's eyes, and the middle-aged man patted his son on the shoulder again: "Chengye, I once said that you are the unicorn of my Li family, and now, this still works, the future of the Li family depends on you." Don't let your father down. ”
"Father, Chengye knows. Li Chengye's eyes were red, and he almost burst into tears.
Li Cunyi said again: "Now that the situation has been decided, I am afraid that there is no room for recovery. During the day, my father had been informed that Wang Yan had come, and we had to complete the matter in a few days. ”
After a pause, he said: "Your two younger brothers are only four or five years old, they can't participate in this matter, I am ready to send them to Jiangnan, I have purchased a manor, and I have the Zhang family to take care of it, there will be no problem in a short time, in the future, hey, the heavens are reckless, each according to the destiny of heaven!"
