Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty Chapter 1789: The family chooses!

Chapter 1799 Family Choice!

"Brother Lu, according to yesterday's situation, this Wang family really has a rather shallow relationship with Yonganhou~!"

In an inn in Qizhou and Yongxian County, Li Jingxuan and Lu Chengqing, who woke up from a hangover, met for tea in an elegant room. The tea is a good fairy tea. Naturally, there is no such kind of tea in a small place like Qizhou. It was brought by Li Jingxuan when he came to Qizhou. He used to like money, power and beauty. Since the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce launched Shenxian tea, he has one more preference, which is Xishen tea!

The fragrance of tea lingered, and Li Jingxuan spoke after the two were silent for a while.

"Where is this? Don’t forget Brother Li. Wang Yu was still a prince, and he had little relationship with the royal family. Now he has close contacts with Li Zexuan, and Li Zexuan is the pioneer in the emperor’s suppression of the family. Tell me, in today's royal family, is the heart with the emperor or with the family?"

Lu Chengqing gently fiddled with the tea cup with one hand, and gently shook the folding fan with the other.

Li Jingxuan's eyes turned slightly, and said: "A Li Zexuan is already so difficult to deal with. If the Wang family and Li Zexuan are in the same foul, wouldn't our five surnames and seven hopes have no chance to restore their former glory~?"

Lu Chengqing raised his head and said faintly: "Jing Xuan, now the world has changed. Instead of five surnames and seven hopes, only three surnames and four surnames are left, including a Li Tang imperial family and an ambiguous king of Taiyuan. Clan, in terms of strength, we are already at a disadvantage. In the past, the Cui clan was the head of the seven great aristocratic families, but now, with the support of the emperor and the help of Li Zexuan, the Wang family will probably leapfrog the Lu family and the Li family!" /

Li Jingxuan picked up the tea cup and drank the tea in the cup. He frowned and said very annoyed: "The imperial power is strong, and the family is not in harmony. According to Brother Lu, we Li and Lu Home, how should I deal with myself in the future?"

"How to deal with oneself? How to deal with oneself all depends on the attitude of the elders in our family. You and I can't be the master now!"

Lu Chengqing gave a wry smile and shook his head helplessly.

He and Li Jingxuan are now only the descendants of the Lu and Li family who are most likely to become the next generation of Patriarchs. They are still far from being officially in power. Their current situation is actually similar to Wang Renbiao, but Wang Renbiao relies on Tongan. The relationship between the princess and Li Er's nephew and nephew has secured the position of the governor of a state, and the two of them have not yet entered official positions!

"Hey! What Brother Lu said is very true!"

Hearing this, Li Jingxuan couldn't help but his face darkened. He heavily put down the tea cup in his hand, got up and looked out the window, with a worried expression: "Now our two families are under enemy, but you and I are both in the clan. Without real power, what can I do even if I have a person to take revenge? I can only hope that the elders in the clan can lead the family through the difficulties!"

"Difficult! Difficult!"

Lu Chengqing condensed his eyebrows for a moment and shook his head: "If it were left a year ago, there would still be three points of hope for the six major families to fight against the imperial power. But now, even the most powerful and profound Cui and Zheng two clan Both were destroyed by the imperial court. Even if the Lu and Li families tried our best, I am afraid it would be difficult to make any waves!

For the current plan, I can only ask for self-protection! Since the First World War, the Lu family’s Taigong has been strictly restraining the children of the clan, preventing us from being arrogant, oppressing the people, and violating the laws of the king. This is to worry that we will follow in the footsteps of the Cui family! "

Li Jingxuan nodded and said: "My family too! Previously, my second uncle's eldest son occupied a tenant's daughter. The grandpa learned that he directly ordered the penalty hall to break his legs and send him to the county office! After this incident , The former profligate children in the clan, now everyone is in danger, and they dare not do it arbitrarily outside!"

"This is right!"

Lu Chengqing thoughtfully said: "How did the Cui family's house in Chang'an City be besieged by the people? Isn't it that Li Zexuan made the Cui family's dirty work in recent years public to the world? If the two families do not want to repeat the mistakes of the Cui family, they can only restrain their children!

After the Battle of Guancheng, the people of the world and the civil and military officials saw that the five surnames and seven hopes were not invincible. Now the royal historians in the court are all staring at the family! Once there are children from a family who do evil, they will definitely be impeached as soon as possible. First, they will be appreciated by the emperor, and secondly, they will be praised by the people! Therefore, Tai Gong is right to make such a decision! "

"Hmph! These ungrateful villains! How many of those historians have not received the favor of the family? Now that the imperial power is in full swing, they are just like the ugly face!"

Li Jingxuan couldn't help but snorted and said angrily.

He said this very well. After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the old system of Yang Guang was used to conduct imperial examinations and recruit talents. However, in this era, scholars want to participate in the imperial examinations, but they need to be recommended by gentry or celebrities. The thousand-year-old clan, each family has a large number of disciples, why are those scholars willing to be the disciples of the family? Isn't it because the family has the right to recommend and the way to recommend?

Nowadays, there are hundreds of civil and military officials in the Tang Dynasty, but a considerable number of them have been recommended by families!

"Going forward, how can there be eternal friends? Only eternal interests!"

Lu Chengqing shook his head and said sensibly: "To put it a bit awkward, if you and I are in a different place with them, I'm afraid they will do more and more unfeeling than them!"

Li Jingxuan was choked immediately, he looked depressed and said: "Brother Lu, you still speak...still so straightforward~!"

Depressed and depressed, but Li Jingxuan also knows that Lu Chengqing is telling the truth, but the truth is a bit too hurt!

"Hehe! I'm just telling the truth!"

Lu Chengqing smiled. He picked up the tea cup and sniffed it lightly. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "Good tea! Good tea! Aside from the standpoint, Yongan Hou is really a person who knows life! You and me Although I have enjoyed my glory since I was a child, but to be honest, I am not as good as Yongan Hou Wanyi!"

Li Jingxuan saw that Lu Chengqing had started tasting tea, he quickly poured himself a cup, but he finally got these tea leaves, and he usually reluctant to drink it!

"Chengqing, what you said is true! Who in the family does not hate Yonganhou? But everyone still uses the things made by Yonganhou, new-style carriages, bicycles, toilet paper, fairy tea, fairy Mirror, unknowingly, he earned all our money!"

Drinking another cup of tea, Li Jingxuan said a little annoyed.

"So what? Qiquge and Qiquge Workshop are irreplaceable in Datang now. If we want to earn this money, we can only choose to cooperate with him!"

Lu Chengqing's eyes narrowed, and he said endlessly.

Li Jingxuan's eyes widened, with an incredible expression on his face: "What? Cooperation? Chengqing are you crazy? If this is heard by the Lu family elders, I must be scolded again!"

The pride of the aristocratic family, even though the aristocratic family is already at a disadvantage in the face of imperial power, they are still arrogant in their bones. Cooperation with Li Zexuan is equivalent to cooperating with the court and bowing to the court!

Lu Chengqing said: "The situation is stronger than that of people. Nowadays, no matter whether the elders admit it or not, the aristocratic family can no longer contend with the imperial power. For the current plan, we should protect ourselves. Only by living, will there be unlimited Possibly, if you are like Cui and Zheng, everything will stop! The Wang family can climb to Yonganhou, why can't we? At least so far, besides cooperating with Yonganhou, do you have a better way to deal with him? Those The people who once stumbled him, now the graves grow grass!"

Li Jingxuan swallowed. The content of Lu Chengqing's remarks was too explosive and crazy, but he thought about it and found Lu Chengqing's remarks to be reasonable. He couldn't help but straighten up and stared at Lu Chengqing: "Brother Lu, is this what you meant, or did you mean it?"

This question is very important, because it concerns whether the Lu family now has to be like the Wang family and go to the court!

If this is what the head of the Lu family meant, then the only ones who are still sticking to the "family camp" are Zhao Jun Li!

Lu Chengqing pondered for a moment, and said: "This is what my father meant, but it is not what the Lu family elders meant! Before coming, my father said to me, let me refrain from having antagonism with the Wang family. , Catch the Yonganhou relationship! What the Wang family can do for Yonganhou, and the Lu family can do the same!"

"It turned out to be what Lu Shibo meant!"

Li Jingxuan was immediately stunned.

Lu Chengqing got up at this moment and said: "I am leaving for Chang'an today. Should Jing Xuan go with me?"

At this time, Li Jingxuan finally recovered from the shock. He wondered: "Go to Chang'an? Brother Lu, what are you doing in Chang'an?"

Lu Chengqing stood with his hands and faintly said: "Tomorrow afternoon, there will be a fundraising meeting held by the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce in Lantian County. I really want to see it. Although I’m afraid it’s too late in time, I happen to be visiting some in Chang’an City. People, just drop in!"

"The fundraising meeting? Lu Jiaran also attends the fundraising meeting?"

Li Jingxuan's face is even more incredible. It is natural for a family to have money, but it is absolutely impossible for them to give money to the court! For whom the fundraising conference is collecting donations, this person, as long as the news is not blocked, knows in his heart, and listening to Lu Chengqing's meaning, Lu Jia is going to participate in the fundraising conference. How does this make him not surprised?

"The family of Lu did intend to participate in the fundraising meeting. My father had already passed on to a store manager in Chang'an the day before. And if I can catch up with ~ IndoMTL.com tomorrow, I will naturally see it! After all, this fundraiser The conference is from Yonganhou's handwriting. If the Lu family can make a contribution, not only Yonganhou will remember us well, but also your majesty! Jingxuan, would you like to go with me?"

Lu Chengqing asked with a light smile.

Hearing this, Li Jingxuan's face was cloudy and uncertain. After thinking for a moment, he handed over and said: "This is a big deal, the younger brother is afraid to be expert, I have to ask my father!"

Lu Chengqing shook his head and said: "But the fundraising meeting will begin tomorrow. Qizhou is not close to Zhao County, I am afraid it will be too late!"

"This..."

Li Jingxuan also knew what Lu Chengqing was talking about. He hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said: "Okay! Then I will go to Chang'an with Brother Lu first, and the flying pigeon will pass the book to his home on the road. If it is too late, it will be fine. It's a way!"

Lu Chengqing laughed and said, "Hehe, that's good! Let's pack up and set off!"
