Before Li Zexuan went to the Xuanjia Army, he came to the Qin Mansion in Chang'an City to visit Qin Qiong.
Cheng Yaojin happened to be in the Qin Mansion at that time. The three uncles and nephews had a good drink at noon, but unexpectedly Li Er suddenly came to kill them!
At noon that day, Li Zexuan and Li Er talked about three things: recruiting veterans, dividing the Turks, and calling on businessmen to help the court raise military resources.
Since no one else was present in the room at that time, and whether it was Li Zexuan, Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, or Li Er, they were all tight-lipped people and would definitely not publicize these things to outsiders, so Mrs. Cheng naturally did not know about this fundraiser. The conference was written by Li Zexuan, and it was also authorized by Li Er!
"What? This fund-raising meeting was actually organized by Xiaoxuan? And His Majesty also agreed to it?"
After Cheng Yaojin told the exact conversation between Li Zexuan and Li Er that day in the Qin Mansion (of course, he only told the part about calling on businessmen to raise military resources), Mrs. Cheng was silent for a moment, a little disbelieving. .
"How can it be false? I was at the scene at that time!"
After explaining, Cheng Yaojin relaxed. He picked up the bowls and chopsticks again and began to eat.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Mrs. Cheng slapped the table, glared, and said angrily: "You old thing, since Xiaoxuan organized this fund-raising meeting, how can our family only donate 5,000 yuan? Moreover? This matter is still under His Majesty's instructions. If our family donates less, I don't know what the civil and military officials of this court will do secretly to organize our family!"
Hearing this, Cheng Yaojin suddenly looked stunned. He thought to himself, this woman's face changed faster than flipping through a book. Just now she was saying she was donating too much, but now she thinks she is donating too little! It’s really unreasonable!
"Then based on Madam's wishes, how much should our family donate?"
Cheng Yaojin smacked his lips and asked tentatively.
After all, in terms of money, Mrs. Cheng is still in charge of the Cheng family!
Mrs. Cheng thought about it seriously, and then said: "Then donate 8,000 guan! I just checked the winery's accounts a few days ago, and there is still a lot of money left in the account. We can still donate 8,000 guan." of!"
When Cheng Yaojin had not yet made a fortune, Mrs. Cheng followed him. The two of them were a couple in need, so Cheng Yaojin respected Mrs. Cheng so much. Although Mrs. Cheng seems to be unruly and aggressive on weekdays, she is very affectionate and righteous. She understands who brought the Cheng family's current financial situation, so when she heard that this fund-raising meeting was organized by Li Zexuan, she Immediately, he lost his "penny-pinching" attitude and became more generous!
"Hehe! Okay! Then listen to Madam and donate 8,000 guan!"
Cheng Yaojin laughed and drank the wine in one gulp!
"Oh, sir, I don't know what happened to our ugly cow in the Xuanjia Army camp!"
Speaking of Li Zexuan, Mrs. Cheng couldn't help but think of her eldest son. She sighed and said: "I heard that among the large armies in Chang'an City now, the Xuanjia Army has a heavier training task. I don't know if the ugly cow can eat it." be able to stand!"
"Uh-huh! That kid's skin is so tight that he can be trained in the Xuanjia Army! Madam, don't worry, anything can happen to anyone, but he will be fine! Besides, Xiaoxuan is still looking after him! "
Cheng Yaojin felt that he had almost eaten, so he sat back comfortably on the chair and said.
He was not worried at all about Cheng Chumo. If he could withstand more than half a year of training under Qiu Bearke, how could he be stumped by the Xuanjia Army? Even if he was worried about Cheng Chumo, there was still Li Zexuan. Lao Cheng felt very confident about Li Zexuan!
"You old man, you don't care about your son at all! You don't look like a father at all!"
Mrs. Cheng scolded Cheng Yaojin, stood up and left.
…………………………………………
A similar situation happened not only in the Cheng family tonight.
Similar situations happened tonight in the Qin family, Yuchi family, Niu family, and Duke Wei's mansion. These families all have a very good relationship with Li Zexuan. After they learned from various sources that the fund-raising meeting was written by Li Zexuan, they all made the decision to donate money in unison.
These were officials from the military camp. Unexpectedly, there were also many people from the civilian camp who wanted to use this fund-raising meeting to donate.
Duke Zhao's Mansion.
"Chong'er, you go to our iron shop tomorrow and ask shopkeeper Sun to prepare five thousand dollars, and then donate it at the fund-raising meeting two days later!"
In the study, Changsun Wuji said to Changsun.
"Dad? Our family also wants to participate in a fund-raising meeting? My son read in the newspaper that isn't it true that only businessmen can participate in this fund-raising meeting?"
Changsun Chong was confused when he heard this.
"Isn't Shopkeeper Wang a businessman?"
Changsun Wuji shook his head and said in a faint tone: "Alas! Chong'er, you don't understand. This fund-raising meeting is your Majesty's helpless move to solve the problem of the emptiness of the national treasury and the lack of military resources. We, the Changsun family, must contribute. ah!"
As the head of the civil service, he is naturally much better informed than others, and just from the information currently circulating outside, he can also deduce the general ins and outs of the matter. The final decision-maker of the fund-raising meeting is Li Er, and the ultimate beneficiary is the imperial court. The eldest son of the Sun family is a relative of the emperor. If he sets an example in this matter, he will inevitably lose points in Li Er's mind. I don’t want to lose Li Er’s trust!
"This fund-raising meeting is actually the work of His Majesty?"
Hearing this, Changsun Chong looked surprised and said: "I thought it was the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce who wanted to show off the plan they came up with in front of His Majesty!"
Changsun Wuji shook his head again and said: "Your Majesty may not have come up with the idea of this fund-raising meeting, but it must have been approved by His Majesty in advance. The Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce is just the implementer! Now it seems that Li Zexuan has a great deal of weight in Your Majesty's heart. It’s getting heavier and heavier! This son was granted the title of Marquis at a young age and cracked the earth. Now he is serving in the Xuanjia Army. If he makes another military exploit in the Turkic War in the future, I’m afraid that this will affect the whole government. No one can suppress him, right?"
He has both martial arts and martial arts. This is what scares Li Zexuan, the eldest son Wuji. More importantly, Li Zexuan is young enough. He can achieve such feats at a young age. In time, their eldest son's family will probably be in front of Li Zexuan. Not even worth mentioning, right?
Hearing his father's comments about Li Zexuan, Changsun Chong lowered his head and did not dare to say a word.
During the more than a year at Yanhuang Academy, he had seen too many people and things, which caused some changes in his state of mind and vision. While Changsun Wuji was still focusing on fighting in the nest, Changsun Chong was already obsessed with magic. In the new world of engineering!
In Changsun Chong's eyes, Li Zexuan is changing the entire world on his own! He admires Li Zexuan from the bottom of his heart!
"Chong'er, your father asked you to enroll in Yanhuang Academy. What have you found out this year? What is Li Zexuan's attitude towards the eldest son's family?"
Seeing that Changsun Chong was silent, Changsun Wuji asked.
When the Yanhuang Academy was just established, under the leadership of the two princes Li Tai and Li Ke, many officials and officials in the capital chose to enter the Yanhuang Academy. Changsun Chong was one of them, but he brought his eldest grandson with him. It was for the task Wuji gave him.
Changsun Wuji wanted his eldest son to approach Li Zexuan in the academy and test Li Zexuan's attitude toward the eldest son's family. If he could win over the eldest son's family, it would be best. If he couldn't win over him and Li Zexuan was obviously hostile to the eldest son's family, then Changsun Wuji would have to consider getting rid of him. Lost Li Zexuan!
He doesn't want anyone to break his position as the top official!
A generation of powerful officials has now begun to show his ambitions!
"Dad, the mountain leader doesn't like fighting. At present, he still has good intentions towards our eldest grandson family. After all, dad has helped the mountain leader several times before! But dad, if you want to recruit the mountain leader based on this, To be under our eldest grandson’s family and to be used by you, I think this is impossible!
In fact, what Shan Chang likes most is to study knowledge and develop engineering. He has no intention of fighting in the court. From what I see, dad, you don’t have to care so much about the mountain chief’s attitude. As long as our eldest son’s family doesn’t take the initiative to provoke him, I think he will definitely not be our enemy! "
After Changsun Chong thought seriously for a moment, he cautiously said to Changsun Wuji.
These words are actually suspected of being biased towards Li Zexuan. Yanhuang Academy is a very magical and magical place. Anyone who stays there for a long time can't help but fall in love with it. I like the beautiful scenery there, the atmosphere there, and the persistent and pure people there, so even Qiu Bearke, the pirate leader, felt a lot of reluctance when he wanted to leave the academy. How could Changsun Chong be an exception?
Under the subtle influence of the academy, his personality gradually underwent some changes. Perhaps even he himself was not aware of this! As the principal of Yanhuang Academy, Li Zexuan is the spiritual leader in the hearts of all teachers and students of Yanhuang Academy. Changsun Chong naturally does not want a conflict between his most respected father and his most admired spiritual idol, so he said this!
"It's the same as fighting in the court? Haha!"
Hearing this, Changsun Wuji smiled inexplicably and said: "He is in the middle of the situation. I'm afraid he can't help it in many cases! That's all. Now that the Tang Dynasty is facing more foreign troubles, the most important thing is to deal with the Turks first. As for Li Zexuan, let's pay attention. Keep an eye on him!”
After saying that, Changsun Wuji rubbed his brows tiredly, then waved to Changsun Chong and said, "It's getting late, Chong'er, go and have a rest!"
"Yes! Father!"
Changsun Chong cupped his hands, then turned and left.

Taiyuan, the ancestral home of the Wang family!
In a desolate courtyard, a small room was still lit by candlelight.
"Second Young Master, I heard that no clan elder from the Clan Laotang has left for Qizhou. It seems that the eldest son's wedding has ruined his entire future!"
A middle-aged man with a hooked nose bowed to a young man.
The young man's hair was disheveled and he was sitting on the couch. After hearing this, a dazzling light burst out from his originally lifeless eyes.
"So, the family is going to get rid of him soon?"
The young man sat up, leaned forward, looked at the hook-nosed middle-aged man, and said excitedly.
Reflecting the candlelight, the young man's appearance was completely revealed. Isn't this the second son of the Prince of Taiyuan, Wang Renyi?
Last year, Wang Renyi colluded with bandits in Chang'an City and kidnapped Han Yuxi. In the end, the bandits were wiped out, and he, the second son of the Wang family, was also imprisoned. Later, Li Er returned Wang Renyi to the Wang family and left it to the Wang family to handle it themselves!
At that time, in order to seek forgiveness from Li Zexuan and calm Li Zexuan's anger, Wang Yu personally went to Chang'an to apologize to Li Zexuan. Only then did Li Zexuan give up his murderous intention towards Wang Renyi, and Wang Yu also assured Li Zexuan that Wang Renyi would be imprisoned in The ancestral home of the Wang family can never step out of the house!
The hook-nosed man nodded excitedly and said, "That should be it! Otherwise, the clan elders should go to congratulate the eldest son of the Wang family for their wedding! But until now, the clan elders have not left yet, which shows that the clan elders have not set off yet. The young master has angered the clan elders, and it will be a matter of time before he is deposed! By then, the second young master will definitely be the new heir of the family!"
"Hehehe! Finally... I, Wang Renyi, have finally waited for this day! Hahaha! I want revenge! I want Li Zexuan to die! No, I can't let him be so easy, I want to kidnap his wife and kill his parents , let his family be ruined!"
Wang Renyi stood up, looked up to the sky, and laughed maniacally.
"My subordinates congratulate the Second Young Master on regaining his freedom!"
The hook-nosed man knelt on his knees and cupped his hands.
"Haha! If this young master comes to power in the future, you, Xiao Qing, will be the first person beside me. I will help you avenge your brother's revenge!"
Wang Renyi laughed maniacally for a long time, and finally returned to normal, but there was still a flush of excitement on his face. He looked at the middle-aged man and said lightly.
At this moment, the decadent and lifeless young man disappeared, replaced by an ambitious madman!
"Thank you, Second Young Master!"
The hook-nosed man's name is Xiao Qing, Xiao Ying's younger brother. He and Xiao Ying are both from the Qinghe Cui family of Wang Renyi's mother's family. Last year, Wang Renyi and Xiao Ying were instructed to kidnap Han Yuxi in order to obtain the formula of the Immortal Drunk. Although Wang Renyi narrowly escaped death, Xiao Ying was naturally pushed out to take the blame and was eventually beheaded!
In April this year, the Cui family of Qinghe, the Cui family of Boling, and the Zheng family of Xingyang were destroyed by the imperial army in Guancheng County. They lost the support of their mother clan. Wang Renyi's situation became even more difficult, and Xiao Qing and others came from the Cui family of Qinghe. He was no longer welcome in the Wang family, so he was sent to this desolate courtyard to take care of Wang Renyi's food and daily life.
But he never thought that Wang Renyi would have a chance to make a comeback. How could Xiao Qing not be overjoyed?
"I can't go out right now. Go and help me keep an eye on what's going on outside. If there's any news, come and let me know right away!"
Although Wang Renyi's hair was still disheveled, his temperament had returned to his usual calmness. He put his hands behind his hands and ordered Xiao Qing.
"Yes! Second Young Master!"
Xiao Qing took the order and left.
