Chapter 394 Genealogy

Duan Lun was very curious about Li Zheng, a character who was full of criticism. This was the first time he saw Li Zheng. He saw that the child was dressed in ragged clothes, his hands and feet were covered in mud, and he looked like a farmer. What it should look like is not a son-in-law.

Li Zheng patted the mud off his hands and said, "Actually, I'm just busy."

Zhang Gongjin said: "This time I brought you the official uniform and hat."

Zhang Gongjin gave the officials behind him a look, and the officials from the Ministry of Rites came wearing official uniforms and hats.

Li Zheng was a little confused looking at the official uniform and hat.

The official from the Ministry of Rites said: "My son-in-law, these official uniforms are all newly made by someone. Don't worry, my son-in-law is new."

"Take it, are you going to let someone hold it?" Zhang Gongjin whispered.

Li Zheng took the official uniform, "It's a bit noisy here, let's go talk in the village."

"Alright." Zhang Gongjin nodded.

Walking all the way to the stables, Li Zheng walked beside Zhang Gongjin and asked in a low voice, "Well, is Zou Guogong feeling better?"

Zhang Gongjin nodded and said: "It's much better now, and I want to live longer, so I can play a few more games of chess with you."

"If you want to play chess, I won't be sleepy. How about we play a game for a penny?"

Zhang Gongjin: "Okay."

All the way to the horse circle, Li Zheng asked Du Hu to take care of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and came to the stone table to start playing chess.

The chess game was laid out, and Zhang Gongjin said: "Please first."

Li Zheng said quickly: "You are an elder, you go first."

"You are a junior, you go first."

Zhang Gongjin said that Li Zheng had no choice but to advance a pawn first.

After walking down a few steps, Li Zheng thought that he had already lost a horse and a cannon. Today, Mr. Zhang took the initiative every step of the way, and the offensive was very fierce.

Seeing Li Zheng's deliberate expression, Zhang Gongjin said: "Li Zheng, now someone in the court says you are the number one treacherous official in the court, don't you want to come out and argue for yourself?"

Li Zheng raised his cannon and ate one of Zhang Gongjin's soldiers and said, "I don't care."

Zhang Gongjin responded to the moving horse with a smile and said: "Let me tell you this, old man, this time you are being impeached not only by the Guanlong clan, but also by the five surnames. Apart from them, even those aristocratic families are secretly working hard. One stone stirred up thousands of waves. The marriage between you and Princess Changle may not be so easy."

"Then let His Majesty take it back."

"You know His Majesty can't do that."

Li Zhengchang sighed, "In that case, I have nothing to be afraid of."

Zhang Gongjin said in a low voice: "Changsun Wuji has always been walking around the Guanlong Clan. There are some things that you Li Zheng can hide for a while, but there are some things that you can't hide."

"Your Majesty is brilliant." Li Zheng sighed.

Zhang Gongjin said, "Why do you say that?"

"Your Majesty used me as a gunman and pushed me to the forefront. Either I bow my head, or I will fight to the end with those nobles of the family. No matter what, Your Majesty will not suffer."

He glanced at Li Zheng in surprise, thinking of this level shows that this kid is very smart.

Zhang Gongjin said: "Since you know this is the case, what are you going to do?"

Li Zheng moved his car and landed in front of Zhang Gongjin's general and said, "I am married to Princess Changle."

It seems that Li Zheng chose the latter, Zhang Gongjin nodded with satisfaction, and has some appreciation for this child. Li Zheng is very young now, this kid is a talent, maybe he can complete the needs of the court for so many years things.

There are some disadvantages and hidden dangers, His Majesty has been planning for a long time.

This is not something that happens overnight, it is a long-term solution.

Of course Li Shimin can kill them all, but Li Shimin has scruples.

But Li Zheng is different. Li Zheng can do it because of Li Zheng's background. In a certain sense, Li Zheng is clean and uninvolved, and he doesn't have to worry about anything.

Once too much is involved, there are too many people to take into account. It is better to be enemies than to be friends with the people of the world.

Li Zheng had offended a lot of people, and not many people in Chang'an were willing to have too many walks with Li Zheng.

It is also because of this that Li Zheng can become the sharpest knife in Li Shimin's hands.

Zhang Gongjin looked at his chessboard again and found that he had been checkmate.

After tidying up the chessboard, Zhang Gongjin said, "Let's play another game."

"Give me the money." Li Zheng waved the fan in his hand.

Zhang Gongjin took out a penny and handed it to Li Zheng.

After the chessboard was rearranged, Zhang Gongjin said, "Li Zheng, you are the commander of Chang'an, why haven't you gone to Chang'an?"

"I don't want to go." Li Zheng shook his head.

Zhang Gongjin continued: "Do you think His Majesty will give you Jingzhao Mansion for no reason?"

"What Zou Guogong means is that I can manage well and build my own power to deal with those powerful people."

"The Chang'an order is not a small official. Everyone in Chang'an's dignitaries will look at the face of Jingzhao's governor. You can control everything from the Duke of the state to the common people in Chang'an."

Li Zhengman said indifferently: "The knife is in my hand, as for how to use it, it's all up to me."

Zhang Gongjin nodded, "You are right in saying that. I was worried about you at first, but now I look at the old man's advice, which is a bit superfluous. Among the young people in Chang'an, you are the most worry-free."

Li Zheng grinned.

Half a day passed, and after more than ten games in a row, Zhang Gongjin didn't win a game.

If there are guests, they will naturally invite them to dinner. Today there are more than ten officials on the dinner table, and the meals are more than before.

Seeing that he couldn't sit still, Li Zheng had no choice but to pack part of the meals and asked Du Hu to send them to the academy for the children to eat.

Li Zheng looked at these officials from the Ministry of Rites and asked Zhang Gongjin in a low voice, "Zou Guogong, haven't they had enough food on weekdays?"

Zhang Gongjin sighed, "The salary is meager and life is hard."

A group of officials ate up the last stir-fried vegetable on the table like a storm.

Duan Lun took out the family tree and said: "My son-in-law, this is the family tree given to your family by the court, you need to write the princess's name on it."

Li Zheng took the family tree and looked at the content on it. These were the names of the three generations of his ancestors, and there were some incomplete ones.

Taking the pen handed by Duan Lun, Li Zheng wrote Li Lizhi's name, Li Shi, Lizhi, in the column of his wife and daughter.

After finishing writing, Li Zheng saw his mother's name. There was only a simple Gu's, and he didn't write the name but the surname.

As for what it is called, I have to ask Li Daxiong. I remember that the village chief’s grandfather said that he was still a baby when he was a child.

Even the people in the village have never seen their biological mother.

Li Zheng looked at his family tree, his wife and daughter Li Shi Lizhi, and said to Duan Lun: "From now on, this name can't be changed, right? No matter what happens in the future, Princess Changle will be my wife."

Duan Lun nodded, "Naturally, she is your wife Li."

Alright, this time it's completely on Li Shimin's boat.
