Li Zhenzu originally had some resentment towards Duan Qian, and he had a purpose every time he came to Beijing. But after all, he was his sister and brother-in-law, so he could bear it as much as he could.
But this time he was really angry. His sister took Duan Qian to visit almost all the collateral branches in Shangjing in one day. What does this mean, using the collateral clan to put pressure on himself?
Li Mingyue is his biological sister, and he dotes on this sister, so he can't say anything. But who is Duan Gan? When did it become your turn to dictate the affairs of our Li family?
Besides, if Duan Qian hadn't deceived his sister, he probably wouldn't have done this. The only thing he couldn't do about his sister was that he was too in love. He had always obeyed Duan Qian for so many years, but who made his sister like Duan Qian? Li No one at home can do anything to her.
Even so, Li Zhenzu was very angry this time. He had promised to help last night, but Duan Qian still asked his sister to do this. This was obviously a slap in his face. Duan Qian could not even respond to his words at any time. It's over.
Okay, you Duan Qian used my sister to have collaterals put pressure on me, then I will let your Duan family bring out all the things they have eaten in their stomachs for so many years this time, including the benefits. If you Duan Qian doesn’t agree If so, then the Li family will refuse to help the Duan family. We can completely support other families to stop the Su family in Shuzhou, and the Duan family will have no choice but to leave Shuzhou in embarrassment.
The Li family meeting was soon held at the Li family's old house. All the Li family's elders attended the family meeting. As the daughter of the previous patriarch and the sister of the current patriarch, Li Mingyue was certainly qualified to attend.
But the Li family’s family meeting is not
Similar to the Su family, the Su family has always been controlled by these powerful side clans. As long as there is no major civil strife, there will be basically no changes. Even if you want to kick out any member of the Presbyterian Council, you must get the vote of the Presbyterian Council. , the votes must reach two-thirds.
This kind of voting is not like ordinary decisions. Ordinary decisions can be implemented as long as you get more than half of the votes. Under normal circumstances, the clan leader has an absolute advantage and is basically guaranteed, while the vote of the collateral members of the Presbyterian Church requires two-thirds. of votes.
This is to limit the power of the patriarch. Otherwise, if the patriarch kicks out all the descendants who have objections to him, leaving only those who are loyal to him, the entire family will be completely in chaos.
As for the rules of the Li family's family meetings, the control of the Li family has always been in the hands of the direct line. The voting rights are limited to the three servers of the direct line, that is, the brothers of the patriarch, the uncles of the patriarch, and the grandfathers of the patriarch. .
The grandfather generation is the brothers of the patriarch’s grandfather. These will basically fall under the control of the uncles or their sons who are cousins. The uncle generation is the brothers of the patriarch’s father. These will basically be controlled by the patriarch’s uncles or their sons. Or cousins, and finally the clan leader's brother.
If the new and old clan leaders change, these rights will have to be redistributed. The direct rights beyond the three servers will be withdrawn, and the other direct rights will be reduced accordingly. In the end, the new clan leader and the clan leader's brothers will get the most rights.
This also ensures that the position of patriarch of the Li family will only be passed down to the direct line and will never be passed on to the collateral lines. Therefore, almost every head of the Li family is
Two sons or three sons, it depends on how much rights are recovered.
For example, in the current Li family, Li Zhenzu and Li Zhentang have more than half of the rights combined, followed by their two biological uncles, and then there are two cousins and a cousin from their grandparents. These are all collaterals of each family. The actual controller.
Under normal circumstances, such a family meeting is basically just a formality, because the two brothers Li Zhenzu and Li Zhentang almost have the final say. Their combined share is more than half. You can convene a family meeting by just making a phone call, unless it is in the family charter. It's interesting when two-thirds of the votes are needed, like the Su family's.
But now the atmosphere of the Li family is different, because the relationship between the current patriarch of the Li family, Li Zhenzu, and Li Zhentang is not very good, so these side families are more involved.
If the opinions put forward by these two people are different, then in the end the only choice is to vote. Whoever has the highest support rate will listen to whoever has the highest support rate. Then the votes of these side branches are somewhat crucial. They are not allowed to connect in private. pass.
So the focus of today's discussion is whether to help the Duan family in Shuzhou. Helping the Duan family's talisman is not in the interests of the Li family. Can they stop the Li family? Who should be sent to stop the Li family? These are the key points.
At this time, the sun was shining brightly, and it was exactly 12 o'clock at noon. In the ancestral hall of the Li family's old house, all the descendants entered the family ancestral hall one after another. On the ancestral hall was hung the ancestral virtues mentioned by a certain calligrapher in history. There are four big words for longevity.
Li Mingyue and Duan Qian were not in a hurry to go in. They were waiting for Li Zhenzu and Li Zhentang. Of course, Duan Qian was accompanying Li Mingyue and he was not qualified to enter the ancestral hall.
, who told him not to have the surname Li?
Soon Mr. Li came first. Mr. Li knew what his sister and brother-in-law had done in the past two days. He was very happy in his heart. The more violent the sister and brother-in-law were, the more pressure they would put on the elder brother. , and he will reap the benefits.
So when Li Zhentang came over, he said, "Mingyue, Duan Qian, I heard that you have visited all my uncles in the past two days. You are quite considerate."
This sentence was quite thoughtful and I don’t know if it was mocking Duan Qian. Duan Qian was somewhat embarrassed, but Li Mingyue said indifferently: "It’s been a long time since I returned to Beijing. Do you still have to move around when you should? After all, they all watched me grow up." .”
Li Zhentang said in a moderate tone: "But you are going too far. You can just tell us some things directly. What should you say to these uncles? Isn't this putting pressure on the elder brother? What will the elder brother think?"
Although Li Zhentang was very happy, he still had to say what should be said in the situation. Moreover, he also had opinions on Duan Qian.
Li Mingyue frowned and said, "Second brother, what's wrong with me? I'm doing this for our Li family too."
Li Zhentang didn't say anything, just shook his head and sighed, then walked into the Li Family Ancestral Hall alone.
At this moment, Li Zhenzu, the boss of the Li family, arrived. Li Mingyue and Duan Qian immediately ran over and said hello: "Brother."
Who knew that Li Zhenzu didn't even look at Duan Qian, and even his sister Li Mingyue was left out in the cold. He just said very coldly: "Go in."
Li Mingyue knew that her eldest brother was angry, and she somewhat blamed Duan Qian, but there was no way to end the matter at this point, so she could only go back and apologize to her eldest brother in private. She had better think of a solution first.
Let everyone support the Duan family at the family meeting.
When Li Zhenzu came in with Li Mingyue, everyone stood up, and the Li family meeting was officially held.
Su Qin is not in Shangjing, but he knows everything about the Li family in Shangjing, especially since Li Mingyue and Duan Qian visited all the branches of the Li family, and then today the Li family held a family meeting in advance. This is really interesting. .
At this moment, Han Xianjing and Xiyue were sitting in front of Su Qin. Han Xianjing frowned and said, "Master, after Duan Qian leaves Xishu, the Duan family will be powerless to resist. The whole line is shrinking to delay. There is nothing we can do for the time being."
Su Qin said with a smile: "There is no way, the Duan family is only supported by Duan Qian now. If Duan Qian can't support it, he will have to go to Beijing to bring reinforcements."
Xiyue said with a smile: "Duan Qian's side is actually fine, but Dongshu's side is miserable. He was beaten by Zhao Taiqing and had no power to fight back. Zhao Taiqing suddenly became a shareholder of the Zhao family in Xishu through the Zhao family. , it can be said that it has swept through the entire Shuzhou, and it has been devastating to Uncle Dong. After getting rid of the Duan family, Uncle Dong seems to be unable to find any helpers."
Su Qin said thoughtfully: "Don't be blinded by these short-term achievements. I already told Duan Qian to take Li Mingyue to Beijing to move reinforcements."
Han Xianjing chuckled and said, "Master, do you think Duan Qian, the grandson of the Monkey King, can move this giant Buddha to the Li family in Beijing? They may not know that behind the Lin family and the Zhao family in Xishu is our Su family."
Su Qin said without hesitation: "I wasn't sure at the beginning, but now I'm sure they already know. As for how they knew
It's not clear, but it can be found out with a little effort. "
Han Xianjing was a little confused and asked: "How did the young master know?"
Han Xianjing and Xiyue definitely didn't know. Su Qin explained to them: "On the first day after Li Mingyue and Duan Qian returned to the Li family, they met Li Zhenzu, the boss of the Li family.
After Li Zhentang had a family dinner, he couldn't wait to take Duan Qian to visit all the big bosses of the Li family on the second day. On the third day, today, the Li family held a family meeting. If he just helped the Duan family deal with the Lin family, It was just a word from Li Zhenzu and Li Zhentang. It was obvious that they knew about our existence. The next thing the Li family had to discuss was what to do with us. It was easy to help the Duan family. "
After hearing this, Han Xianjing said with serious eyes: "Master, it seems that we will be preparing for a tough battle next."
Xiyue also said in a deep voice: "I'll let the brothers get ready."
Su Qin said meaningfully: "Brother Han, please tell the Lin family and Zhao Taiqing later not to take their immediate interests too seriously, and not to be arrogant and complacent because of the short-term success, because in the future, the Li family It's about to end, so don't let them be unable to bear it when the time comes."
Han Xianjing said quickly: "Don't worry, young master, I will inform them later."
Su Qin slowly stood up and said, "But you don't have to worry too much. We won't be able to fight the Li family for long in Xishu. As long as the Li family puts their focus on the Duan family, they will definitely lose this game. .”
Han Xianjing and Xiyue both understood what Su Qin meant. Chen Wuji had been in the mountain city for so long. When the time came, they would wait for Chen Wuji to pull out all the stops.
If the Duan family's Shancheng hometown is stolen, then the Li family, let alone the Duan family, will be confused.
