On a summer afternoon, a timely heavy rain came unexpectedly.
There was a severe drought in Guanzhong this year, and the sudden rain finally alleviated the drought.
The people rushed out of their houses, knelt on the ground in the heavy rain, cried and laughed, and worshiped God devoutly. Every village beat gongs and drums, and it was as joyful as a festival.
Li Qinzai stood in the rain, watching the people rejoicing, and he smiled happily.
The pressure and resentment in my heart seemed to be relieved a lot with the arrival of the heavy rain.
Compared with the food harvest that is a matter of life and death for a family, what is this small matter of mine?
The young and strong farmers from each village of the Li family gathered in Weinan County according to the order. Many farmers wore leather armor and weapons from when they were soldiers in the government and rushed to Weinan County fully armed.
In just one day, the dealer has gathered more than 2,000 people.
Li Qinzai sighed silently. Without the acquiescence of Li Zhi and Empress Wu, the gathering of so many people would have made the defenders of Chang'an nervous, thinking that someone was treason.
Outside Weinan County, more than two thousand people formed a formation consciously, and the crowd was silent. Although they were all veterans who had been discharged and returned to the field, once they stood in the long-lost team, they were still standard soldiers, and the strict rules of the army were engraved on them. Into their bones.
Liu Asi came over and said softly: "Fifth Young Master, in a hurry, these are the only people Guanzhong can mobilize. Look..."
Li Qinzai hummed and said, "That's enough, let's give the order to set off."
Liu Asi said carefully: "Where are we going?"
Li Qinzai looked into the distance and said in a low voice: "Go to Taiyuan, the ancestral home of the Wang family."
Liu Asi's eyelids twitched: "Why are we going to the Wang family's ancestral home?"
"Oh, it's like this. I heard that the head of the Wang family celebrated his eightieth birthday. I took two thousand people to his house to pay him a birthday and wish him a happy future every year..."
Liu Asi's little mung bean blinked for a long time, then smiled bitterly and said: "Fifth Young Master, please don't make trouble, so many people are not going to pay birthdays, they are obviously going to ransack the house..."
Li Qinzai glanced at him and said, "You like to ask nonsense questions so much, so I have no choice but to reply with nonsense words."
It was raining heavily, and Liu Asi put a raincoat on Li Qinzai. Li Qinzai raised his eyes and looked at the misty rain ahead, sighing: "This rain is so good..."
"Ah Si, give the order to move out."
…………
Taiyuan, the place where Emperor Longqian of the Tang Dynasty lived.
Li Yuan served as a defender in Taiyuan during the Sui Dynasty. His power and troops grew in Taiyuan, and he had the strength to overthrow the Sui Dynasty and change the world.
After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Taiyuan was the former residence of Emperor Gaozu Long Qian, and a royal palace was built on the basis of the original Liushou Mansion.
Those who followed Gaozu in the uprising were not only the famous generals and warriors of the Tang Dynasty, but also the noble families of Guanlong and Shandong.
No matter how weak or weak a dynasty is, it cannot collapse in less than a year.
The Sui Dynasty collapsed so quickly, precisely because of the help of these aristocratic families. Li Yuan raised his voice, and the world's aristocratic families followed suit. They no longer concealed their strength and edge. Aristocratic families from all over the country rose up one after another, and the Sui Dynasty was full of wars.
As a result, the Sui Dynasty fell suddenly. In less than a year, this once extremely glorious and powerful dynasty fell into the dust of history, and its second generation died, just like the powerful Qin.
And those noble families who had followed Li Yuan in the uprising also got the benefits they wanted after the founding of the Tang Dynasty.
When aristocratic families participate in the war, what they want is not justice, but profit and power.
It was precisely because the conflicts between Emperor Sui Yang and the major aristocratic families had become so acute that they could not be reconciled, so they joined forces to overthrow him.
Li Yuan gave them benefits, including official positions in the court, each family's territory, a unique cultural faction representing their own heritage, and tolerance with an almost high degree of autonomy within each family's territory, etc.
Later, when Li Shimin became emperor, he married the Taiyuan Wang family. Li Zhi, who was only a teenager at the time, was determined to have a lifelong partner.
At this point, the scenery of the aristocratic family has reached its peak, with flowers blooming and fire cooking oil.
After the peak, there is a downhill road. This is an inevitable natural law.
The aristocratic family has become more and more pushy, with disciples and old officials spread all over the court, affecting the centralization of power. Even the struggle for heirs and heirs has the shadow of the aristocratic family looming.
The Tian family began to be afraid and dissatisfied.
After the forbearance of two generations of emperors, Wude Zhenguan, the founding of the Tang Dynasty was stable, Li Zhi ascended the throne, and after several years of planning, Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang were eliminated.
It is a dividing line, representing the rapid transformation of the relationship between the Tian family and the aristocratic families from being interdependent to being both enemies and friends.
The current relationship is that we have not fallen out, but we can't go back.
Li Qinzai led more than 2,000 villagers to Taiyuan, and the journey was smooth.
It's amazing. It is said that when such a large-scale young and strong team appears, the local governments should report it at all levels as if they are facing a formidable enemy. After all, this is a very taboo thing, almost the same as treason.
However, wherever the team led by Li Qinzai passed by, everything was calm. The government seemed to be blind and deaf, seeing nothing and hearing nothing.
Li Qinzai smiled bitterly, well, strictly speaking, he was causing trouble under the order, and Li Zhi and Empress Wu must have given orders to open up the joints that should be opened.
In this case, let's have a good time. Li Qinzai can do what Li Zhi and Empress Wu are inconvenient to do.
This was a shady cooperation between the emperor and his ministers. Li Qinzai was responsible for stirring up the shit, and Li Zhi and Empress Wu were responsible for throwing the shit out into the mouths of the noble family.
No matter how high or low the profession is, they all serve the people.
Besides, if you dare to send an assassin to kill this dude, do you really think that this dude has the nature of a Bodhisattva and is so compassionate and tolerant?
After traveling from Weinan County, we arrived in Taiyuan five days later.
Li Qinzai passed through Taiyuan City but did not enter. He was going to Qi County.
The Taiyuan Wang family is divided into two branches, one is the Qixian Wang family and the other is the Jinyang Wang family. Both branches belong to Taiyuan County, so they are collectively called "Taiyuan Wang Family".
Li Zhi's ex-wife, Queen Wang, came from the Wang family in Qixian County.
The new wife of the Qingzhou father-in-law is also from the Wang family of Qi County. The person behind the secret plot to assassinate Li Qinzai is still the Wang family of Qi County.
Every wrongdoer has his own owner, and the one Li Qinzai wants to deal with is the Wang family of Qixian County.
Two thousand villagers went straight to Qi County.
One day later, outside the Wang family's ancestral home in Qixian County, two thousand villagers lined up with soldiers, intent on murdering them.
Outside the calm Wang family's ancestral home, a troop of two thousand soldiers and horses suddenly appeared, and the Wang family members were frightened.
When two thousand soldiers and horses were calmly arrayed outside the ancestral house, the door of the ancestral house was slammed shut, and wolves and pigs were already running inside the house, and everyone was panicked.
Li Qinzai was riding on his horse, quietly gazing at the Wang family's ancestral home surrounded by green mountains.
The environment here is elegant, with green mountains and green waters, mountains shrouded in clouds and mist, and woodcutters fishing and plowing in the forest singing to each other. It is an elegant pastoral scenery. In terms of scenery, it is better than Ganjingzhuang. It exudes the temperament of outstanding people from the inside out.
In such a beautiful and elegant environment, why do the people living here still have evil intentions and plot to harm others?
An hour after burning incense, the closed door of Wang's ancestral home opened. A middle-aged man wearing a Confucian shirt walked out proudly and walked a hundred feet to Li Qinzai's horse.
The middle-aged man first bowed politely to Li Qinzai, and then asked gently: "I am Wang Ning of Taiyuan. I would like to ask you your surname Gao. Why are you sending troops outside the Wang family's ancestral home?"
Li Qinzai stared at Wang Ning's face for a while and then said softly: "My name is Li Qinzai. I am the grandson of the British Duke. Do you know why I am here?"
