Wake up and become a son-in-law

The wine shop business was also run by the Li family at Mu Yu'er's unauthorized suggestion. After all, Li Shiqi was a member of the Li family no matter what. Although Li Shiqi seemed to no longer care about the Li family, she was still observing big and small things. , so I thought of it as helping my sister, and Yue'er was too big to handle alone. The Li family was naturally overjoyed, but it was also because of this that they were jealous of everyone. In the past, Ping Xihou naturally didn't dare to do anything. But as soon as Ping Xihou fell, everyone rushed to use both soft and hard tactics on the Li family. The Li family also refused, but they could not withstand the pressure of collusion between officials and businessmen. All of a sudden, the Li family was cut off from all resources and fell into a crisis. The wall fell down and everyone pushed it. This is the most normal thing.

Until a few days ago, I suddenly heard that Lan Yuheng was back, and he was still the Marquis! They were also very excited. They wrote to Li Shiqi all night, asking Lan Yuheng for help, but Li Shiqi turned them back and told them not to cause trouble. It was best to keep this matter in their stomachs, and they did not dare to do this. No matter what, those who had enemies in the past all came to give gifts, and the gifts they gave were all extremely valuable. Even the prefect of Huzhou came in person to give away thousands of taels of gold or something, which made the Li family feel better. A little bit, but they all refused. After all, they didn't dare to offend them. After all, they were afraid of Lan Yuheng, not them.

But in the past few days, the court suddenly issued an order to carry out a large-scale purge of Huzhou officials. Even some large businessmen were labeled as being in collusion with the government and businessmen. In the end, their homes were ransacked and their heads beheaded. He Jiuyuan and the others were all frightened, because it looked like it would be their turn next! So I ran to the Pingxi Marquis Mansion overnight to beg for mercy. Several people from the Li family also came. After all, Li Siheng was still their precious grandson, and I always thought about it after not seeing each other for so long...

He Jiuyuan and He Zhongtang knelt at the door of the Hou Mansion, their eyes full of anxiety, but the guards of the Hou Mansion did not give them any face, and did not even look at them. Suddenly, footsteps came from behind. He Jiuyuan saw that it was Li Zhonghai and Li Hong. Suddenly overjoyed, he hurriedly climbed up to Li Zhonghai and said, "Master Li! Can you be so kind as to help us intercede with Mr. Marquis!"

Li Zhonghai frowned and said, "Master He, I can't take care of your affairs. My granddaughter has done her best by letting us not cause trouble for you. There is nothing you can do about it now." Yuluo flicked his sleeves and robe and said to the guard, "I still hope you will be better." Please inform me that Li Zhonghai and Li Hong are coming to visit."

The guard cupped his hands, "Since it's the madam's natal family, you can just go in, please." After saying this, he made a gesture of invitation. Li Zhonghai snorted coldly at He Jiuyuan, and then entered the Hou Mansion in displeasure. It was almost impossible to ask him to plead for mercy. It's all whimsical. The He family has been the hardest to suppress the Li family. It would be great if he doesn't take advantage of it now!

"Grandpa...Dad, you are here." Li Shiqi smiled and saluted the two of them. Li Zhonghai smiled and said, "Qier, it's great to see that your mother and son are safe."

Li Shiqi smiled, "Let grandpa worry about it. Are you here to see Siheng today? Xiao'e brought Siheng to grandpa and the others to see. Are grandpa and daddy tired? Come sit inside and Qier will make tea for you. "

The two of them also smiled a little restrainedly. Mo Xiaoyi also smiled slightly when he saw Li Zhonghai, "Zhonghai is here."

"Haha, Lord Mo, it's been a long time." Li Zhonghai also felt a little embarrassed when he saw Mo Xiaoyi and raised his hand, trying to show off his reputation or something. He and Mo Xiaoyi were simply not on the same level, so the two of them felt a little uncomfortable now. .

Mo Xiaoyi smiled slightly, "Come and sit down. We are half in-laws, so we don't have to be so restrained. What's more, if it weren't for your Li family, I wouldn't have found such a son-in-law." Li Zhonghai smiled unnaturally. Mr. Mo is making fun of me."

Mo Xiaoyi waved his hand, "Zhonghai, what happened in the past is in the past, and Yu Heng is not that fussy person. Just call me Xiaoyi. If you are not used to calling me the head of the Mo family, you can do it. There is no need to make it so embarrassing. After all, Qi'er and Yi'er are also good sisters, and now they are even closer to each other."

Mo Yuyi also smiled, and Li Shiqi handed the tea to the two of them, "Grandpa, drink it. Yu Heng brought this out in the palace, and you can't drink it under normal circumstances."

When the two heard that it was from the palace, they also tasted it. Li Zhonghai couldn't help but exclaimed, "What a good tea... Uh... I wonder where Yu Heng went?" Obviously their thoughts were not here.

Li Shiqi smiled and said, "Yu Heng has gone to court. I need help with some things recently, so I will be busy."

"Oh..." Li Zhonghai was a little thoughtful. "By the way, I just saw He Jiuyuan and the two outside. I wonder what Qi'er plans to do with it?" Li Shiqi shook her head and said, "Let Yuheng decide on this matter." Come on, we won’t interfere.”

"Okay..." Li Zhonghai was overjoyed and said no more. Mo Xiaoyi put down the tea cup, "Zhonghai, I heard that your Li family is not doing well in Huzhou, so I feel sorry for you."

"What are you talking about, Master Mo? He's survived this," Li Zhonghai said with a smile and waved his hand. Mo Xiaoyi nodded and said, "I've heard of you, too. Are you in the cloth business?"

"Um...yes." Li Zhonghai was a little surprised, and Mo Xiaoyi knocked on the table, "Since we are making cloth, we can do business with the court. Doing business with the court is always better than doing business with merchants, but the quality must be acceptable. Just do it”

Li Zhonghai was delighted that this was a good thing! Li Shiqi smiled slightly, "Uncle Mo, let's discuss this matter after Di Yuheng comes back. The Li family's business is already big enough, and it won't be good if it gets bigger..."

Li Zhonghai looked a little embarrassed. Who doesn't want to expand the business, but his granddaughter has spoken, so he didn't dare to say anything more. Mo Xiaoyi nodded. Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit delicate, he smiled and said, "Let's all drink tea. This tea is rare in Huzhou. I'll let you take some back when the time comes. Yu Heng has probably been reprimanded again, and I'm afraid he won't come back for a while."

Li Zhonghai could only apologize, and Li Shiqi had a forced smile on her lips. She didn't know what she was thinking while sitting aside...

朝廷

"I don't know if you have any objections. If you don't have this side, why don't you withdraw from the court?" Li Xian said anxiously. Wu Meiniang was a little unhappy sitting behind the screen and coughed involuntarily. Li Xian was also a little embarrassed when he saw this.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report." Xu Jingzong suddenly came out and said calmly. Li Xian smiled and said, "I love you, but it's okay." If you don't give a reply for one day, you won't return the Suiye land for one day. I think Ping Xihou should be severely punished!"

Lan Yuheng was already drowsy, but when she heard these words, she immediately became angry, "Xu Jingzong, you...!"

"Ahem..." Di Renjie and Xie Yu coughed almost at the same time. The meaning was self-evident. Lan Yuheng also found it inappropriate and simply shut up. Wu Meiniang glanced at Lan Yuheng angrily, obviously blaming him. I can’t hold my breath, but Lan Yuheng didn’t see it.

Li Xian was also a little embarrassed. "This..." It was absolutely impossible for him to deal with Ping Xihou. Suddenly he focused on Wei Xuanzhen. Wei Xuanzhen hesitated and said, "I would like to report this matter to your Majesty... Your Majesty." I think it can be considered.”

"Your Majesty! This matter is absolutely unacceptable!" Xie Yu hurriedly came out of the queue. Li Xian said with a smile, "Thank you, Aiqing, let me hear what you have to say." Although Ping Xihou was at fault, he had already been dismissed from the post of Tiance. This was already considered punishment. Now it is too inappropriate to question Ping Xihou again. Moreover, Ping Xihou is the pillar of our Tang Dynasty. If Wouldn’t it be easier for Tubo to deal with it like this?”

Lan Yuheng's old face turned red. It turned out that he still had some weight in the eyes of this cheap old father-in-law! Li Xian thought it was quite reasonable. Xu Jingzong snorted coldly and said, "I have heard that Xie Zijun has a good relationship with Ping Xihou. You naturally side with Ping Xihou. Could it be that just because of Ping Xihou, you will put the people of the two countries at risk?" Don’t you care? Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we handed over Pingxi Marquis to Tibet in exchange for peace between the two countries?”

"I love you, uncle! Why don't you hand yourself over!" Lan Yuheng also said angrily, and Wu Meiniang snorted, "Ping Xihou, you've passed..."

Xie Yu also glared at Lan Yuheng. This was a restraint that the court did not understand! Lan Yuheng also shut up again, but Xu Jingzong couldn't help but sneered. It seemed that the Queen Mother was still on his side, and he had a little more confidence. "Ping Xihou, you are so disrespectful and loud in the court." The noise is simply insulting to politeness and disrespectful to the emperor! I beg the emperor to remove Ping Xihou from his title!"

Li Xian glanced at Lan Yuheng and felt that he should not do anything. Obviously, he was also a little dissatisfied with Lan Yuheng's behavior, but he knew Lan Yuheng's ability and even more about Lan Yuheng's prestige, and he had also heard about it. His character is not easy to deal with all of a sudden.

"Your Majesty, I think this matter is inappropriate." Di Renjie also stood up. Xu Jingzong's eyes were a little cold. Li Xian glanced at a few people, "Ai Qing, please speak..."

Di Renjie smiled and said, "This Tubo is here to show friendship to the Tang Dynasty. If everything is done by Tubo, wouldn't it mean that the Tang Dynasty is easy to bully? Ping Xihou has made many military exploits against the Tang Dynasty, although he is too easy-going. Xing, I don’t know the rules of the court, but it would be unreasonable to punish Ping Xihou just because of Sui Ye. Moreover, Mr. Xie is also reasonable. Since he has already been punished, why punish him again? This would be a bit unfair to Ping Xihou. It’s unfair, it’s understandable that Ping Xihou is angry.”

"Well... what Di Aiqing said is right. We can discuss this matter later." Li Xian felt comfortable. He glanced at Lan Yuheng and said with a smile, "Lan Aiqing should not be angry. This is just a suggestion by Mr. Xu." , he also spoke like this for the sake of Datang."

Lan Yuheng cupped her hands, "What the emperor said is absolutely true, but it's ridiculous that Xu Jingzong is so spineless. Although I'm just Ping Xihou, Mr. Xu, don't forget, I'm still the Prince Consort of the Turks! You're like this today You are provoking a conflict between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks! I seriously suspect that you are a Tibetan spy!"
