To arouse the emperor's suspicion is not to be alarmist.

The relationship between the Li family and the aristocratic family is too deep. This is what Li Qinzai has slowly heard from home since he traveled through these days.

Since the reign of Emperor Gaozu, the Guanlong Group and the Shandong gentry have always been noble families in the eyes of the world.

As for later, with the rise of Li Shimin, the famous generals who assisted Li Shimin such as Li Jing, Yuchi Gong, Cheng Yaojin, Li Ji, etc. were all considered to be the emerging aristocrats of the time.

They are said to be "emerging nobles", but these nobles are deeply proud to marry the daughters of aristocratic families, and one by one they are scrambling to marry into those ancient aristocratic families.

There are not enough daughters from each of the seven sects and five surnames. The couples in the aristocratic families have to work overtime to create children to meet the market demand.

In Li Ji's house, from Li Ji himself to his descendants, most of the first wives were daughters of seven clans and five surnames.

With marriage, there will naturally be other interactions, such as giving each other face when discussing politics at court, making money in the palace, setting up a joint caravan with each other, investing in each other's stocks, etc.

The involvement is getting deeper and deeper, and the integration of interests is getting deeper and deeper.

How would he feel if he saw this in the eyes of today's emperor? Especially Li Zhi and his queen named Wu.

Li Qinzai didn't know anything else. He only knew that it was clearly written in the history books of his previous life that Li Zhi and Wu Zetian had been working hard to suppress and weaken the family's power throughout their lives, and they were quite effective.

For Li Qinzai, the current relationship between the Li family and the aristocratic family is a big hidden danger.

When Li Zhi deposed the king and established Wu, Li Ji said, "This is your majesty's family matter, why bother asking outsiders."

This sentence was very clever and made Li Zhilongyan very happy. At the same time, this sentence also offended some aristocratic families. After all, the Queen Wang who Li Zhi wanted to depose was from the Wang family in Taiyuan.

For the aristocratic family, Li Ji's words encouraged Li Zhi to depose the emperor, and he was openly on the opposite side of the aristocratic family.

However, these are still not enough, at least Li Qinzai thinks it is not enough.

In the future, when Li Zhi and Empress Wu hit the Li family with a hammer, they originally wanted to hit the aristocratic family. However, the interests of the Li family and the aristocratic family are connected. It is difficult to say whether this hammer will hit the Li family in a daze.

Li Qinzai had this intention in taking such a high-profile action against the Zheng family.

Since you are going to offend, then let everyone know by beating gongs and drums, otherwise wouldn’t it be in vain?

Tonight's incident of Zheng Feng Kuafu chasing the sun is a high-profile statement by Li Qinzai on behalf of the Li family to enmity with the Zheng family.

This statement was made for Li Zhi and Empress Wu to see.

Although the Tian family husband and wife team live deep in the palace, they will definitely see what they want to see.

Li Ji sat motionless in the study, his cloudy eyes filled with darkness. Li Qinzai occasionally looked directly into his eyes when he was talking, but could never understand the deep meaning in his eyes.

Li Qinzai couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Even after living two lifetimes, you are not necessarily smarter than the ancients. Apart from the extra knowledge, in terms of planning, dealing with the world, and experience, I was still a complete failure.

It's better to be an ordinary person, lie down and watch the clouds roll and relax, and have half a day's leisure, one day's leisure, one year's leisure, all your life. When you die, you close your eyes and say with a bad smile, I saved 10 million, Hidden in...

The words ended abruptly here, and it was very satisfying to let those unfilial descendants break their legs.

"This is the end of the Zheng family's affairs. You don't have to interfere anymore." Li Ji said decisively after pondering for a long time.

Li Qinzai said indifferently: "Yes."

Li Ji looked at him seriously. Although he didn't know why his grandson understood the general situation of the DPRK so clearly and wisely, Li Ji didn't want to ask why.

He only knew that his grandson was different from before, and this change was a good thing, and that was enough.

"Zheng Feng and his son should indeed pay the price. Not everyone in the Li family can murder someone, but your method is too ruthless. You fought for victory in this round, but you still hid hidden dangers."

"You have set up a trap to make Zheng Feng ugly and break his legs. This hatred can be put to rest. You can't kill all the people. You still need to give people a chance of life. This chance of hope is the world."

Li Qinzai's heart moved slightly, as if he had some realization.

"Thank you grandpa for the advice. My grandson understands. In the future, my grandson will know how to act appropriately."

Li Ji smiled and said, "My dear grandson has changed his ways and is much more pleasing to the eyes."

Li Qinzai said obediently: "My grandson works hard and strives to make grandpa more and more pleasing to his eyes. He is so pleasing to his eyes that he feels like he has found a treasure and can't put it down..."

Li Ji hesitated, glanced at him with a complicated expression, and sighed in a low voice: "I am getting thicker and thicker. No gold is pure, no one is perfect, and God will not deceive me."

Li Qinzai's evaluation of Li Ji was smooth. He didn't mean to be thick-skinned, but he was confident.

"Since you are no longer the famous Chang'an bastard of the past, I would like to ask, what are your ambitions?"

Li Qinzai blurted out: "My grandson wants to be a waste."

Li Ji was stunned, and there was silence in the study.

For a long time, Li Ji's turbid old eyes widened with murderous intent, but a smile appeared on his face.

"I give you a chance to reorganize your language."

Feeling his grandfather's fierce murderous intent, Li Qinzai immediately changed his mind: "My grandson wants to be a hermit who is indifferent to fame and wealth. He will devote his life to the mountains and rivers, play in the world of mortals, and gratefully enjoy the peaceful peace that the late emperor, my grandfather and other heroes fought with their blood to build!"

Li Ji was greatly comforted, these words sounded exciting!

However, Li Ji felt something was wrong as he smacked his lips.

Don’t you still want to be a waste?

He conveniently picked up a bamboo slip on the art of war and threw it at Li Qinzai's face.

Li Qinzai's eyesight was quick and he was not careless. He dodged past.

Pointing to the door, Li Ji Leng snorted: "Get out!"

Li Qinzai was about to roll away.

When people get older, they are inevitably a bit pretentious, and they don't like to hear the truth. No matter what others think, Li Qinzai really wants to be a waste waiting to die.

He was born into a powerful family, had no worries about food and clothing, had a loving father and a filial son at home, and was full of misdeeds outside. It was simply the perfect environment given to him by God to be a waste.

He has no interest in opening up new territories or making a name for himself. It's enough to live your own little life.

Today's Tang Dynasty is entering a prosperous era, and it can be done without him. He is not so great that he has to jump up and down to gain a sense of existence to change the course of history.

It seems that he still had the habit of being a social beast in his previous life. How the company develops has nothing to do with him. Anyway, he has never seen his boss pay more bonuses. He only cares about perfect attendance and overtime pay this month.

When Li Qinzai excused himself and left the study with a smile, Li Ji suddenly stopped him.

"Three years ago, I made the decision to marry you to the Cui family of Qinghe, Qingzhou branch. However, not long after the engagement, the woman's mother died of illness. My daughter stayed at home for three years, so the marriage was delayed. Counting the days, three years It’s almost over and it’s time to get married.”

Li Qinzai was sluggish.

I just spoke passionately about the relationship between the Li family and the aristocratic family, and about keeping a distance from the aristocratic family.

In the end, he turned around and got himself a marriage from an aristocratic family?

Li Qinzai's eyes narrowed. Did the old fox deliberately slap him in the face?

Seeing Li Qinzai's dull expression, Li Ji smiled: "Go ahead. Although you have insight into the situation of the court, it is still slightly lacking. The Tian family and the aristocratic family will not be hostile today or decades from now. It’s coexistence and checks and balances, and as time goes by, you’ll be able to see clearly.”

Li Qinzai walked out of the study numbly.

There was a new wife suddenly. The news was so shocking that Li Qinzai needed to digest it.

Seeing Li Qinzai walking out of the study, Li Ji's eyes were filled with smiles.

The figure behind the screen flashed, and Li Siwen, Li Ji's second son, walked up to Li Ji. Li Siwen had been hiding behind the screen when the grandfather and grandson were talking just now.

Li Ji said calmly: "Siwen, did you hear everything clearly just now?"

Li Siwen lowered his head and said, "Yes, Father, I heard you clearly."

Li Ji smiled and said, "In your eyes, is he still the same dissolute playboy who causes mischief and gets into trouble all day long?"

Li Siwen's face was expressionless: "There may be some changes. The child thinks that his nature has not changed, and he is still the same bastard."

Li Ji sighed: "You are too harsh on him, and naturally you have deep prejudices. From his creation of the divine arm bow to his serial calculations against the Zheng family, as well as his views on the Tian family and the aristocratic family just now, it is enough to show that Qin Zai has already This is not the Amen of Wu Xia in the past..."

"This man is a good man, but he possesses a lot of talents. I even doubted whether he did it on purpose, thinking that he was hiding his abilities and hiding his abilities. If he hadn't caused a big disaster this time, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to show off his abilities so easily. .”

"If you are still biased against him, you might as well calm down and take another look. I think that given time, this son may be the most valuable horse of my Li family. Even if you don't want to be a poor man, you shouldn't beat him and torture him to weaken his character. , and missed his future."

Li Siwen was surprised and said, "Father has such high hopes for this son?"

Li Ji stroked his beard and said slowly: "In my eyes, Li's parents and grandson are not as good as him in their dedication to work, and the rest of them are not as good as him in their respect for You and Zhen. This son has a groove in his belly and is destined to be extraordinary."

…………

When he walked out of the study, Li Qinzai looked as dull as a dead fish.

When you go in, you are still happily single, but when you come out, you are a married man. Who can you reason with?

When he first traveled through time, Li Qinzai was still thinking about why his turn had not come in the beautiful arranged marriage of feudalism.

But it was just a momentary and malicious thought, just like every "I love you" said by a scumbag, without meaning.

However, when he learned that Li Ji had really arranged a marriage for him, Li Qinzai was unhappy again.

First get to know each other, then fall in love, and finally get married. These are the steps that a normal marriage should take.

If you omit the previous steps, isn't marriage just like opening a blind box? If you are unlucky and find a pock-marked, slanted-eyed, bad-mouthed and aggressive woman, how will you live in this life?

Besides, he is marrying a girl from a noble family. From his birth, he could vaguely feel that she is delicate and delicate. She has her nostrils pointing towards the sky and is bossing around. Every time the couple quarrels, they have to face the death stare from the Tang Dynasty noble family...

If we can break off the engagement before we officially get married...

Li Qinzai had a thought in his mind, turned around and ran towards Li Ji's study.

This time, he even skipped the rules about knocking and pushed the door open. Li Qinzai said loudly: "Grandpa, can you cancel the engagement?"

After speaking, Li Qinzai saw clearly that his biological father, Li Siwen, was also sitting in the study.

He had clearly just left the study, where did his biological father appear from? So weird...

Now three generations live together in the study, enjoying great filial piety.

There was no time to think, because Li Qinzai noticed that the air in the study suddenly became cold.

"What did you say?" Li Ji and Li Siwen, father and son, said in unison, even their expressions were uniformly solemn.

Li Qinzai was stunned for a while and then said cautiously: "What if the Cui family's daughter in Qinghe is pockmarked, has a beauty mark on her face, or has acne or something..."

"Bad boy! How are you doing?" Every time he saw Li Qinzai, Li Siwen's temper was always irritable and he was a natural enemy.

I'm afraid I won't be able to handle the mixed doubles match between my grandfather and my father, especially since my grandfather is a world-famous general...

Li Qinzai decided to give in and not be ashamed. When he had a son, his son would also give in to him under the absolute force of suppression, and the fine traditions would be passed down from generation to generation.

"Facial mask! What I want to say is facial mask!" Li Qinzai was so anxious that he tried to force out a smile: "Facial mask can cure pockmarks..."
