As soon as Li Guangye said these words, everyone couldn't help but raise eyebrows.
Perhaps he was infected by Master Meng's words of "one cannot deceive one's heart", or perhaps he was already in a difficult mood after being assigned to the Linde Pavilion. He actually had no intention of publicizing his family's scandal. He was exposed in front of several outsiders, and his words even meant to accuse Jiang Qi of suppressing the Li family.
Such a person, who speaks freely and harbors resentment, actually keeps saying that he wants to serve as a member of the army of the Lord of the Kingdom like Gouchen Yuan. It really makes people wonder what to say.
After all, Yu Zhongnan was mature and prudent, and immediately coughed: "As the old saying goes, talking about superficial things and talking about deep things is chaos! What Li Lingtai said just now, about two tribes choosing one over the other, should not be mentioned to us."
But Li Guangye shook his head: "I'm just telling the truth. Even in front of the king, Li still said these words."
"I was born in Daqi and grew up in Daqi. Although I have some resentment, I have no intention of rebellion. On the contrary, I have the desire to serve. But in Li's view, even if I want to show my loyalty, I should fight for the Lord of the country. Fight and earn merit in an upright manner."
"But now the elders of the Li clan are thinking crookedly and want to change their clan name to move further away from Ji and closer to Jiang. However, this proposal has been supported by the majority of the clan, and it is about to be finalized. .”
"If this proposal is made, my family will definitely report it to the king of the country and inform the family. How can such flattery be concealed from the discerning people? As a descendant of the Li family, what does it mean to complain to others?"
Yu Zhongnan attaches great importance to the origin of surnames. When he heard this, he frowned and said: "How important are surnames and surnames. The former distinguishes marriage, and the latter distinguishes high and low. The Ji surname Li has a long history, and enjoys the splendor of Huntiansi." , is one of the most aristocratic clans in the country, and there is no catastrophic disaster to avoid, so why do you want to suddenly change your family name? Where does this so-called distant Ji and close Jiang come from? "
When Li Guangye heard this, he sneered: "It is precisely because of this Shige Shilu that he has made many people's bones soft and tender over the past two thousand years, and they have long forgotten their origins!"
"The original clan name of our clan is the beautiful word 'Li'. The ancient style of this character is Shangli and Xialu, which means the beautiful pairs of antlers growing on the deer's head. Because the place where the Li family lives is lush with trees, The scenery is beautiful and there are many elk in the mountains, hence the name Lishan.”
"The Li family made a living by hunting and rode horses to migrate under Lishan Mountain. When they saw that the entire mountain range was like a pale horse, they changed Lishan Mountain to Lishan Mountain, and the family also added the word "horse" next to it, calling it "Lishan Mountain". Lishi or Lishanshi.”
Mentioning the origin of Ji's surname Li, Li Guangye's tone was full of pride: "You are all extraordinary, and your vision and knowledge are incomparable to others. You should know that the "Book of Rites" says that military affairs are carried out by Li. Rong, soldiers. Horses. The black one is Li."
"Although I, the Li family of Ji, have the blood of the Tongyu family of the Jiang family, and are quite talented in astronomy and cooking, but going back to ancient times, I am a serious soldier of the Ji clan, adept at martial arts and riding the Li to control conquests! "
"This time, according to the meaning of the clan, the word 'Li' was removed from the side of the horse character, and a right ear knife was added to form the word 'Li'. The meaning of the word changed greatly because of this, and there were several changes. It is suspected of forgetting one’s ancestors!”
When Yu Zhongnan heard the words, he thought deeply and said: "You Er Dao is the word tribe of Yi. The characters Du, Jun and Guo are all Yi tribes. There is Right Er Dao in a clan, which often means that this clan is It is to build a city and live in it.”
"Your family removed the word 'Li' next to the word for horse and added a right ear knife... When the king and other families met, they naturally knew that the Li family wanted to completely give up nomadic hunting, join the army, and wholeheartedly become a man living in the city. A noble and civilized clan."
"However, for two thousand years, the Li family of Ji in Da Qi has always served in the Huntian Division, and has never been in charge of military affairs? Now, changing the family name like this is really..."
Hearing this, Li Guangye immediately laughed and said actively: "It's really unnecessary to take off your pants and fart!"
The Li family member laughed at himself, and then explained: "Uncle Xianyou doesn't know something. This surname has its own power. The more generations the hairpin clan has, the more the bloodline is manifested and the inheritance is prosperous, the more important it is. "
"My family always makes such plans, not only to show loyalty and flattery, but also because once we change our surname and completely abandon martial arts and follow civility, the blood, path, and destiny of the family will be far away from Ji and closer to Jiang, and more and more towards the Tongyu clan. If his orthodoxy shifts, he will be able to compete with the Lu family of Jiang, who has always been ahead of the Li family."
"Li has an amazingly talented clan brother who is proficient in astronomy and geography. He has also studied the "Shui Jing" and is familiar with water veins. Therefore, he is highly valued by the king. The reason why the clan elders are so impatient is that they even lose face. No, it’s just to pave the way for this clan brother to compete for the position of chief minister after Lu Gong leaves.”
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately understood.
Li Guangye was quite dissatisfied with the clan's proposal to change his surname. In addition to not forgetting his ancestral origins, he also clearly had his own interests in mind. After all, after changing his family name, his orthodoxy has shifted. His clan brother, who has high hopes for him, will become more outstanding and will naturally occupy more family resources.
Everything in this world is not about scarcity but about inequality. It's no wonder that Li Guangzhi became resentful and wanted to find another way out in Gouchen Courtyard.
Sure enough, I heard the Li clan continue: "The clan elders said that after changing the clan, Erdao Li will be the main sect, and the whole clan will use the strength to help my clan brother, study the evolution of the water veins, and monitor the gods of the water mansion. Help him achieve great success and take over the leadership of the Sizheng. If anyone is unwilling, he can separate himself from the sect and go out to live another life. But there is one thing. All the official positions of the Huntian Division belong to the big sect, and the smaller sects cannot get involved."
"Hey! I don't think the king will refuse such a small request. This is Li's chance to leave Huntiansi in an upright manner!"
Although Li Guangye was smiling, he was gritting his teeth and showed no sign of joy.
Seeing this, Qi Jingzhi and the other three exchanged glances, but no one spoke.
As the saying goes, there is no close relationship if you are not close. These remarks about "big clan" and "little clan" already involve disputes within the Li clan. Li Guangye can say it himself, but it is difficult for outsiders to comment, otherwise it will inevitably be suspected of provoking.
Seeing that there was a moment of silence, Li Guangye smiled at Qi Jingzhi and said: "Although I am incompetent, I don't want to change my surname. I have already thought about splitting up the sect in the future and calling myself the Lishan surname Ji. Such lonely people Isn’t it possible that the king of the country and the Grand Sima will be wary of the ghost-like Li clan’s little sect?”
"Although the idea of entering Gouchen Academy was just mine, it came from the bottom of my heart and was definitely not a joke! Now I have revealed all my calculations in my heart to my brother. If I can be introduced to you in a fair way, Lishan Guangye will be deeply moved. , there will be a generous reward!"
Qi Jingzhi was filled with emotion when he heard that the other party called himself "Lishan Guangye".
Although he had never seen this person's true face, he had preconceived it before and had already sketched in his mind the appearance of a shameless and profit-seeking little fat man. However, at this moment, Lishan Guangye seemed to be a different person, showing two different personalities. The insight and decision-making that a noble son of a thousand-year-old family should have.
As for this person who would rather split up his clan and lead a different life than become a stepping stone for his clan brother, this is human nature and there is really no need to criticize him harshly.
Qi Jingzhi looked at the red-fire fat fish in front of him, with a strange look on his face: "Why do I think your family is taking the opportunity to make long bets? Modifying the clan is just a loss of face, but there is a chance to make money in Hun Tiansi Li went one step further and was able to win the trust of the king, in exchange for the opportunity for some of his disciples to leave the prison of Huntiansi. He really killed two birds with one stone and took all the benefits!"
Master Meng on the side also smiled knowingly, nodded in agreement and said: "Jingzhi was originally a commoner, but he was able to be awarded the rank of seventh-grade camp captain by Lord Langya. Compared with those who had all their official positions long ago. The old Yamen and Gouchen Courtyard are naturally coveted, and they are indeed a good place for speculation and betting."
Yu Laochenghuang slowly shook his head: "Why do you have to say it so unpleasantly? The king has organized the army and is looking for good generals. This Gouchen Courtyard is the place where heroes use force and heroes spread out. What's so strange about being remembered?"
"You two, a stubborn master has brought up a stubborn boy. The world is not as big as the truth in his heart, but he always likes to think the worst of others and leaves no room for words and deeds. This kind of behavior is never pleasing and cannot be explained. One day we will be attacked by the crowd..."
Looking at the red-fire fat fish again, his mouth was already wide open, looking at this and that, and he was speechless for a moment.
The corners of Qi Jingzhi's lips raised slightly, and he turned to look at Yu Zhongnan and said, "Sir, let's sign the documents quickly. This junior is worried about our ancestors. As soon as this matter is resolved, we will rush to Yuzhou immediately."
Yu Zhongnan glanced at Lishan Guangye and nodded with a smile: "As it should be!"
He opened the "Superior Zhenglu Gongqi" in his hand and pointed at the blank space at the end of the article. A divine seal immediately appeared there, with a unique texture and flowing charm.
Seeing this, Qi Jingzhi stretched out his hand to take the document, and after a brief thought, he took out the battalion commander's token, and pressed the front side with the writing on the side of the seal of Songling County City God.
This token was originally a silver medallion from the Jiuzhen County Police Officer. Later, it was refined into the gold medal of Gouchen Yuan's battalion by Lord Langya. The two official positions were both at the seventh rank, but there was one in Gouchen Yuan who once guarded the East China Sea. , Lord Langya, who sows the golden fields, is obviously richer and richer than the Demon Suppressing Academy.
With a thought in his mind and a gentle touch of his fingers, Qi Jingzhi drew out a trace of extremely pure gold energy from the token, and used it to imprint a golden token on the document. In addition to his official position and name, he also attached the battalion commander token. The divine forms of Gouchen Liufu and Zuowu on the back also appear on it. They are both majestic and mysterious and cannot be copied easily.
He picked up the token and instead of putting it back into the jade box, he sent it straight to the silver belt around his waist.
The silver belt was originally part of the embryo of the spiritual weapon Crane. It immediately and quietly grew a silver-green silk ribbon, which firmly tied the token around the waist and hung at the side.
The other people saw this move of the young man in their eyes, with different expressions on their faces, but they just didn't see it.
Lishan Guangye was obviously hesitant when he spoke: "How about... this matter should be handled by Gouchen Yuan instead? I don't want to make any great achievements. In the future, regardless of whether it is the Linde Army or the Su Ming Army, if I can get a I am satisfied with my position as a battalion lieutenant."
Qi Jingzhi finally discovered that Lishan Guangye had a habit of talking to himself, and he didn't know where he got his confidence.
He immediately laughed and said: "You haven't even written your eight characters yet, you really dare to think about it. You haven't split up the sect yet, and you are still the Lingtai Lang of the Huntian Division, so you turned your elbows out in a hurry, Da Sima I don’t know what I will think of you when I hear about this.”
Lishan Guangye was startled, and his chubby head immediately dropped: "Thank you for waking me up, brother! I'm so concerned that I'm confused, but I thought wrong..."
"It doesn't matter, with this merit of winning Lin's gift, the old man... Lu Gong should not be angry with me, and I can repay the kindness of the old man for protecting me."
Lishan Guangye raised his eyes and looked at Qi Jingzhi, and suddenly he chuckled and said: "Qilin is a rare auspicious sign. I originally planned to summon the people from the Demon-Suppressing Capital Lieutenant's Office to escort the little guy to the capital, but now I think it's inappropriate. .”
"No matter how great the credit is, it has already been shared by the Huntian Division, the Zuowu Army and the Yin Division of Songling County. As for the escort, Brother Youshi and the younger brother have joined forces to ensure that everything is foolproof. There is no need to use any more troops."
Seeing Qi Jingzhi shaking his head, Lishan Guangye hurriedly said: "I know Brother Shi is in a hurry to rush to Yuzhou, but you have to go back to Gouchen Academy to report first, right? If you can bring some people with you, go there in the name of business to look for Mr. Qi Isn’t it much more convenient for you, sir?”
"What's more, if you want to go to Yuzhou in the north, you should go northeast first, bypass the mountains in the north, follow the Xiuling Mountains to the capital, then turn north and drive along the flat road. This way. So it’s a matter of public and private matters, I wonder what my brother’s wishes are?”
