Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

"Could it be that King Zhenping doesn't like Bijing? It still doesn't make sense..." Guo Ye shook his head and said, "If King Zhenping doesn't like this illegitimate son, he can be a wealthy idler. But according to you, this Bijing The power in Silla is not small, and it can almost stand up to Princess Deman, but this would not be possible without the support of King Jinping!"

Jin Yuxin smiled wryly and said: "That's not the case. Didn't I say it before? Our king of Silla, only a sacred bone can serve as a sacred bone. Princess Deman is a sacred bone, but a thorn is not a sacred bone!"

"They are all the children of King Zhenping, one is a sacred bone, and the other is not a sacred bone. Could it be that...it has something to do with their mother!"

"Yes! Qin Guogong is really smart! Only parents who are of royal blood can be born with sacred bones. King Zhenping is a sacred bone, while Taohuaniang is just a commoner girl. In truth, even real bones are a bit reluctant!"

After hearing this, Guo Ye suddenly felt that something was wrong, and said, "Both parents are of royal blood? Doesn't that mean..." He muttered for a long time, and spit out two words, saying: "Chaos... ... Len!"

Jin Yuxin was quite calm about this, and said: "According to the rules of your Han people, you can say this. We in Silla are different from your Han people. We advocate intermarriage within bone products. Other bone products are fine, only the selection range of holy bone is really good. It's a little smaller. For royal men, nieces, aunts, aunts, cousins, and cousins ​​can all be wives. This matter is fair and aboveboard, and there is no denying it!"

He spoke so aboveboard, but Guo Ye didn't know how to continue. He said after a long time, "We Han people don't allow this. It's not just a matter of custom. There is an old saying that a man and a woman with the same surname are born differently. Even if the custom allows it, I'm afraid the royal family will Future generations will also have problems..."

Speaking of this, Guo Ye suddenly thought of Kinderman and Princess Shanhua. These two are both sacred bones. They are both glamorous and have normal IQs. There is no problem. Could it be that the genes of the royal family of Silla are so good?No flaws at all?

He went on to say: "Of course, it's not all like that. I'll just say that, if there's anything wrong, I hope Big Brother Jin will be happy!"

Jin Yu said: "Men and women with the same surname, are they not natives? Is there such a thing? The ancestors of your Han people are indeed extraordinary! There is indeed a big problem with our sacred bones."

"what is the problem?"

"Today's relics are only the four sisters of Princess Deman. In other words, apart from the dead sisters of Princess Deman, there is no one else in Silla who is a relic!"

Speaking of which.Jin Yuxin sighed, and said: "In order to continue the blood of the holy bones, Princess Deman married her own uncle Yinge Wenwang at the age of 13, but unfortunately she did not have children. Yingewen King's health is also not good. He died within a year! I thought it was God not blessing us in Silla, but I didn’t expect there to be such a reason.”

Guo Ye thought to himself, it is really unexpected that the magnificent Kinderman has such a dark history.It seems that Kinderman accepted the prince's husband later on, and he was unrestrained, and he was really a bit of a broken pot.

He continued to ask: "So, as long as the four sisters of Princess Deman pass away, there will be no holy bones in Silla?"

"That's the problem!" Jin Chunqiu slapped the table and said, "If it weren't for this, how could it be the turn of the nose to go wild! What he means is that anyway, Silla's sacred bone inheritance will be broken in a few decades. How about Let him sit on the throne now, at least he is a man, and he is also a direct bloodline of King Zhenping. Many ministers in the court also support his idea!"

Guo Ye thought secretly.Kinderman's advantage is that he is a sacred bone, and his disadvantage is that he is a woman.As for Bijing, the advantage is Jin Baijing's own son, and the disadvantage is the real bone, which is inferior to Kinderman in terms of bone quality.After a careful comparison, the two are really evenly matched, and it's hard to distinguish between them!

He asked: "I don't know how talented Bijing is? Can it be compared to Princess Kinderman?"

Just as Jin Yuxin was about to answer, there was a knock on the door suddenly!

The third lady opened the door, her expression changed immediately, and she said, "Why are you here?"

Chapter 1557 Summation

The person San Niangzi knew was Li Leyong, an elder from the Li family in Longxi.

Li Leyong is over 60 years old this year. According to his seniority, San Niangzi has to call him Grandpa.The old man brought a few servants and lived in Xinxin Inn half a month ago.

Since staying in Xinxin Inn, Li Leyong has not left.Every day, he is not wandering in the street, or drinking tea in the room, leisurely and leisurely, he regards Xinxin Inn as a place for his retirement.

San Niangzi would not be so naive as to think that at such an advanced age, Li Leyong traveled thousands of miles to come to her place to retire.Of course, it is even more impossible to come for myself.

The Li family in Longxi is different from other gentry families, because it has the same surname as the Tang royal family, the Li family in Longxi received extra preferential treatment from His Majesty Li Er.There were even rumors that His Majesty Li Er was going to connect the Taiyuan Li family he was born with to the Longxi Li family.In that way, the Li family in Longxi could barely be called a relative of the emperor.

Therefore, since the establishment of the Longxi Li family in the Tang Dynasty, the momentum has grown day by day, and it has gradually become the head of the five great gentry families.Li Leyong, as the elder of the Li family in Longxi, has a very high gold content and a great fortune. The third lady's property cannot be seen by Li Leyong at all.

Li Leyong smiled slightly, and said: "Wan Niang, I heard that our Xinxin Inn has some distinguished guests. The old man is afraid that you are a woman, and the hospitality is not good, so I came here to help you. Who is in the room, please give us a recommendation !"

"This...waiting for the concubine to ask the distinguished guest!"

"It should be, Wan Niang, just ask!"

Li Wanniang turned around and briefly told Guo Yeyi about Li Leyong's situation.After Guo Ye heard it, he knew that this Li Leyong was a bad comer!This meeting is probably not a chance encounter, but a deliberate one!

Guo Ye answered "Please", and Li Leyong walked in, clasped his hands together, and said, "Li Leyong, a grassroots man, see Qin Guogong!"

It's not the etiquette for the grassroots to see the Duke!But Li Leyong is already at this age, so it's meaningless to pursue it hard.Guo Ye didn't think much of himself, and said: "Don't dare to do it, Mr. Li, please sit down! Li Wanniang, remove the broken seats and reorganize a table for Mr. Li."

After a while, a new banquet was set up, and the three drank happily, while Li Wanniang was pouring wine and serving dishes!

Li Leyong is still really able to speak vernacular, both refined and popular, with witty remarks.A few words and a few words made people laugh out loud.But after careful consideration, this old boy didn't say anything!

After chatting for a long time, Guo Ye pushed the wine glass away and said, "Mr. Li, we are smart people who don't speak dark words. I'm afraid the purpose of your visit today is not that simple! Are you looking for me for something? "

"Hehe..." Li Leyong laughed twice, and said: "Mr. Qin is really quick to talk. Since you are so open-minded, I won't go around in circles. I came here today to treat you to a meal!"

"Eat?" Guo Ye pointed to the table full of food and drink, and said, "Then this meal is your treat?"

"Qin Guogong is just joking. How can this kind of wine and food be worthy of Qin Guogong's status. Tomorrow morning, I will invite Qin Guogong to listen to Hailou and his party. The old man and a few friends will have a banquet together with Qin Guogong!"

"Friend? Who the hell?"

"Duke Qin will know when the time comes!"

Guo Ye sneered, and said: "Mr. Li, if you don't tell the names of these people, Guo will be forced to obey!"

"Actually, it's okay to tell Duke Qin. Apart from me, you will also be invited by Cui Shaoze, Patriarch of the Cui Clan in Boling, Lu Jinhua, Patriarch of the Lu Clan in Fanyang, Zheng Qingshan, Patriarch of the Zheng Clan in Xingyang, and Wang Zicheng, Patriarch of the Wang Clan in Taiyuan. Duke Qin , will you give face to so many people?"

Guo Ye thought to himself, except for the Li family in Longxi, all the patriarchs of the five major noble families have come!Such a luxurious lineup, even if Li Er personally ordered it, it would not be easy to achieve.Is it because they gave Guo Ye too much face?Or do you already regard me as your worst enemy?

He said: "In this case, I, Guo Ye, will definitely go to listen to Hailou tomorrow!"

"Then let's see each other tomorrow!"

Although Guo Ye agreed straightforwardly, he still didn't dare to take it lightly if he really wanted to go to the banquet.This group of people is likely to be the main emissary behind Monk Tianfu. They even dare to assassinate His Majesty Li Er, so why not?Therefore, Guo Ye not only brought the four masters with him on this trip, but also [-] guards were also on standby near Tinghai Tower.

Guo Ye seemed to be facing an enemy, but the development of the matter was somewhat beyond Guo Ye's expectation.

He hadn't arrived at Tinghai Tower yet, but he saw five old men standing at the door facing the wind from a distance.Taking a closer look, among the five old men, there are two acquaintances, one is Li Leyong who just met yesterday, and the other is an old acquaintance Zheng Qingshan.

Now that these two have come forward, no need to ask, the other three old men are Cui Shaoze, Lu Jinhua and Wang Zicheng.This battle really made Guo Ye feel flattered.Not to mention the status of these five people, but from the perspective of respecting the elderly and respecting the virtuous, it is already very face-saving for these five people to greet each other at the door.

Especially Zheng Qingshan, the patriarch of the Zheng family in Xingyang, the relationship between the two is definitely not friendly, it is really commendable to be able to put on such a gesture!

Before Guo Ye could speak, the five of them bowed to the end and said, "The grassroots see Duke Qin!"

Guo Ye hurriedly supported him with his hands, and said, "Don't dare to be! Don't dare to be! All old gentlemen, please get up!"

……

Tinghailou is the most high-end restaurant in Banqiao Town. The five rich and powerful families have already taken over Tinghailou.Everyone let Guo Ye into the top floor, divided the guests and hosts into seats, and a guy offered fragrant tea.

Zheng Qingshan coughed, opened his mouth first, and said: "Mr. Qin, I think Mr. Zheng had offended me in Boling back then. I hope Mr. Qin will forgive me!"

Guo Ye said: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, anyway, I didn't suffer much, and even made a small fortune. If this is an offense, I still hope that you, the Zheng family of Xingyang, will offend me a few more times! Haha!"

This sentence was uttered like a gun, Zheng Qingshan showed embarrassment, and said: "Qin Guogong is joking!"

Guo Ye snorted coldly, and said: "All the patriarchs have important responsibilities and are busy with their duties. Calling me here may not be as simple as having a meal! Everyone knows that we are friends rather than enemies. What's the matter?" Let's talk about it now!"

"Qin Guogong's words are wrong!" A man stood up and said: "There are many friends, many roads, and many enemies, many walls. Qin Guogong, you have a high position and power, and our five great noble families are not small. Why should we bother?" If you want to fight to the detriment of both sides? Can't you turn the battle into a jade silk?"
