Chapter 509 surrender
One by one... drinking tea is like drinking wine!Seeing Ji Chongyan and Li Xuan drink up the tea in one gulp, Liang Ting glanced at the half of the tea left in his hand, and it seemed that he, a rough man, was extraordinarily "refined".

However, because Marquis Fushun and General Li got close, the children of the two families played together from childhood to adulthood, and he was also familiar with the Li family brothers.

"Xuan Jing's scientific examination is indeed good, but his martial arts is also good," Liang Ting said, looking at Li Xuanjing, who was looking polite, and said, "This kid can even fight me, On the contrary, it was the elder brother of the Li family who fought with me and won less and lost more!"

In terms of martial arts, Li Xuan is actually better than his elder brother Li Xuanrong; as for leading troops... Li Xuan has never had such an opportunity.

Although General Li would not treat his own son harshly, and he was not stingy in teaching martial arts, but since he paved the way for Li Xuanjing to become a civil servant, he was not prepared to let him intervene in the affairs of the Longxi Army.

Ji Chongyan, the eldest son, is stable because he is far better than his two cousins, but this is not the case for the Li family. Although the Li brothers are in harmony now, it is all based on Li Xuanjing's concession.

Under the system of the eldest son, the Longxi Army has nothing to do with him, but besides, he wants to fight.

However, even so, neither the father nor the elder brother are still guarding against him.

Liang Ting didn't think as much as Li Xuanjing and Ji Chongyan did, but when it came to which of the Li family brothers was better, he remembered one thing.

"One year, Uncle Li's Longxi Army confronted our army. My father once joked and asked Xiao Li to command my family's army to see which one was stronger among the brothers, but Uncle Li and Brother Li rejected it outright. , everyone said that the Li family can't fight brothers, even if they practice!" Liang Tian was full of emotion.

The speaker didn't care about the listener, and Liang Ting didn't think too much about it, he just mentioned it casually, but Ji Feng, Lin Yan and others present looked at each other and didn't make a sound.

Brothers cannot fight each other, this sentence is not wrong.General Li is very considerate in being a father. Although he said that a bowl of water is flat and one is good at writing and one is good at martial arts, but in fact he didn't give Li Xuanjing a chance to choose.He didn't even have the chance to try to challenge Li Xuanrong.

However, such things as the ancestral system are not abolished at will.What's more, Li Xuanrong himself is not too bad, and it is okay to be conservative.

If a Longxi army had two chief generals, who would listen to them if they disagreed?

The general who can control the army and subdue the crowd must not be a muddleheaded person. No matter what his temper or character is, such a soldier must say the same thing about the army, and it is difficult to shake his mind.

An army with two generals can coexist harmoniously... Ji Feng thought about it seriously, except for the Zhao family army back then, he really hadn't seen it before.But even Zhao Jiajun... General Zhao died later.

Thinking about it now, the brothers of the Li family look a bit like the Zhao family army back then, but at that time the Zhao family army was in troubled times, with rebels everywhere, busy fighting, so they wouldn't think so much, unlike now, it is inevitable to think too much under the prosperity and peace .

No wonder Li Xuan had such an expression when he talked about family affairs.While Lin Yan was thinking about it, he suddenly met Ji Chongyan who was opposite him, and paused for a moment when he looked at Ji Chongyan's eyes last time. Lin Yan, who came back to his senses, quickly got up, holding his good Shangfeng Jifeng with one hand, and the big lad with the other. Fushun Hou Shizi Liang Chi, who was sitting, said: "Let's go! The Huji Paomofang in Dongshi is open today, let's go eat!"

They are drinking tea and talking!Before he had time to put down the teacup in his hand, Liang Zhi looked at Lin Yan, feeling a little baffled: "Lin Shaoqing? What are you doing? I don't like eating steamed buns that much."

"What about the mutton in the water basin? Does Liang Shizi like it?" Lin Yan said with a smile, "The bubble bun shop also sells this. I heard that Liang Shizi likes it!"

Liang Ting never concealed his preferences. His liking for vulgar food is considered unusual among the new dignitaries in the capital. Among all the dishes, he especially likes water basin mutton. This is not to mention that he is the young minister of Dali Temple. It is the taste of this prince who can be inquired about by anyone.

It’s just that mutton is very stinky, some like it, and many don’t like it, even Fushunhou’s family has many who don’t like it, so Liang Ting can only go out to eat it alone, although it’s refreshing, It's kind of boring though.

Hearing that the young minister of Dali Temple in front of him was so sympathetic to him, he was overjoyed and said happily, "Let's go, let's go eat the mutton in the water basin, I'll treat you!" As he spoke, he was about to pull Li Xuanjing up together .

"I feel sick to my stomach today, so I won't go." Li Xuan sat without moving, and said to Liang, "Go and eat, I'll wait for you here!"

Liang said "Oh" without forcing it, then looked at Ji Chongyan again, and said with great interest, "Where is Prince Ji?"

Ji Chongyan shook his head: "I'm not going either, I don't eat mutton."

That's it... Liang Ting was a little disappointed, but he didn't force it. He just couldn't help but sigh: "Ling cousin doesn't eat this thing. I ate it once when I was making friends with him with the inkstone. He covered his mouth and nose with his mouth." I'm talking. I thought you two cousins ​​had nothing alike, but now I found out that you don't like mutton..."

The rough-looking Liang Shizi was really free and easy, and his long-winded words were really long-winded. Ji Feng, who had already walked to the door, coughed and signaled Lin Yan to pull him away quickly.

After all, they have been friends with Ji's family boy for many years, and Lin Yan is his subordinate again. When the two look at each other, Ji Feng knows what Ji Chongyan means.

The Ji family boy and the second young master Li probably have something to say, so they naturally have to get out of here quickly.

Under Ji Feng's wink, Lin Yan finally pulled away the nagging Liang Zhi.

After Liang Zhi left, Li Xuan got up, went to the door and unceremoniously lowered the bolt, then turned around and sat down in front of Ji Chongyan, looking at Ji Chongyan: "Senior Ji."

Ji Chongyan raised his eyes and asked him: "Do you want to join the martial arts?"

"Yes!" Li Xuan did not hesitate, nodded and looked at Ji Chongyan calmly, "Or I want to join the martial arts now, and I will post the text after the world is stable."

He can use both civil and military skills, so when he needs literary skills, he turns to literary skills, and when he needs martial arts, he switches to martial arts.

As soon as these words came out, Ji Chongyan laughed, and he raised his eyelids, the eyes in his brows were sharp and stinging.

"You said the world is stable... Second Young Master Li thinks that the world under His Majesty's rule is not stable?"

Facing the stinging gaze, Li Xuan subconsciously leaned back a bit, but soon stopped, paused, raised his head to face Ji Chongyan and said, "Yes, I feel uneasy."

When he said this, he felt uneasy. Both of them are smart people, and they are both cautious people. Even if they decided to cooperate, until now, no one has said anything about it.

The eye contact and the mystery between a few words have already made him feel the opponent's aura as if a sharp knife has been drawn out of its sheath. The appearance on the outside is surprisingly consistent with the temperament inside!The person in front of him, from inside to outside, is a peerless magic weapon that is about to be unsheathed.

Once out of the sheath, the mountains and rivers will shake!

Although some trials made Li Xuan feel uneasy, at the same time, he also gave birth to a sense of relaxation that was completely opposite to uneasy.

The plan is so big, and the other party has no means, how dare he let it go?

Even a god like Zhuge Wuhou can't support Liu Adou, let alone others?

Taking a deep breath, the man on the opposite side lowered his eyelids, his piercing eyes and momentum seemed to have subsided a lot, he poured a cup of tea with his own hands and pushed it in front of him and said, "You are versatile in both civil and military affairs, and General Li will definitely help you with all your strength." If you follow the path of Wen, it’s not like you have no way out, it’s good to be the Second Young Master Li who follows Wen, why do you want to do this?”

Li Xuan picked up the teacup and drank it down in one gulp. After putting down the teacup, he looked into Ji Chongyan's eyes and said slowly, "General Zhao's fate...I dare not bet."

Suddenly mentioned a name that has not been mentioned in Chang'an City for many years... Ji Chongyan's expression remained unchanged, his eyelids were lowered, and he did not look up at him, but said indifferently: "It's hard to say about this, Second Master Li, be careful. "

Everyone can see how His Majesty treats this nephew. Ji Shizi has never met that little General Zhao since he can remember, so it is conceivable which uncle he is closer to.

Li Xuan smiled bitterly, and said: "I don't want to provoke the relationship between the son and His Majesty, but just want to say one thing."

Ji Chongyan nodded with a light "um", and said, "You are indeed in a difficult situation."

Li Xuan actually didn't care that much about the divorce, because compared to another matter, the fact of the divorce is really not worth mentioning.

He thought for a while, and said to Ji Chongyan: "If my elder brother was like Shizi, this matter would not exist."

Under the ancestral system, the eldest son is respected. If the elder's strength is worthy of his corresponding status, the elder will not worry about the impact of the younger brothers on his status, and the younger brothers will not worry about it. Will be dissatisfied, this matter does not exist anymore.

Just like An Guogong's mansion, Ji Chongyan never worried about Ji Chonghuan and Ji Chongzhen attacking his position.

But the Li family is different, Li Xuanrong's ability has not reached the point of being the best, and Li Xuan is not mediocre.Otherwise, Li Xuanrong would not have refused outright during the practice back then, but nodded and agreed to personally "teach" Li Xuanjing.

"Although he never said it outright, the eldest brother has been guarding against me and jealous of me. No matter whether I really obey him or not, he can't completely believe me." Li Xuan said, "He also knows that I know his thoughts. .”

It is said that it is a relationship between brothers and kinship, but when it comes to the struggle for power and position, it is all bloody.

Longxi Li's family business is not limited to gold and silver, and the two brothers have never cared about this, the most important thing is the entire Longxi Army.Such things as military power of the army seem to seldom appear in front of people under the prosperity and peace, but they either don't appear, and once they appear, they will inevitably turn upside down.

In normal times, Li Xuan might really be able to bear it, but...he had a vague premonition that under the peaceful appearance of the prosperous and peaceful Great Zhou, there were countless clouds surging in the dark.Opportunities wait for no one. Compared with civil servants waiting for promotion step by step, even with Wang San's help, how can a son-in-law be compared to a descendant surnamed Wang?There is only so much the Wang family can help, and all the power in his own family is in the Longxi Army, so how much can he help?
Even if he escaped countless assassinations and made it to the top, how old would he be then?
In addition to one's own ability, fighting for a family business also requires luck and opportunity. If you miss this opportunity, how can you know if there is a second chance in this life?He doesn't want to gamble.So if he wants to seize this opportunity, he must choose Wu.

But neither his father nor his elder brother would give him this chance.Li Xuan was actually very aware of the troubles he was encountering right now.

"The Wang family has more than one concubine daughter. Without Wang San, there can still be Wang Si, Wang Wu, and Wang Liu..." Ji Chongyan paused, and said bluntly, "If I were Li Xuanrong, I wouldn't have turned you over. Chance."

On the one hand, he will try his best to find a civil servant Yue family for Li Xuan, and completely cut off the possibility of him joining the military. On the other hand, even if Li Xuan is obedient in marriage, he will do everything possible to prevent him from contacting the army.

"It's not only that the Longxi Army won't let you touch it, you have a good relationship with Liang Zhi, even if Liang Zhi borrows troops to let you temper, he will refuse for you." Ji Chongyan said, "Just like the practice back then, as for the reasons for refusal, just Brothers cannot fight!"

One practice session was enough to see Li Xuanrong's mind clearly. As for General Li himself, his mood was more complicated, but as a father, since he chose Li Xuanrong to succeed him, he would definitely acquiesce in Li Xuanrong's decision in this matter.

"If you are obedient and honestly be a civil servant, you will be promoted slowly if you lack support, and you will not be able to compare with Li Xuanrong." Ji Chongyan can already foresee the end of Li Xuanrong's "obedience", "General Li is still your father after all, he is still your father. At that time, no matter what, your two brothers are still friendly. But after a hundred years of General Li, you lacking support will be far inferior to Li Xuanrong in terms of official position and power. It's hard to say whether Li Xuanrong will let you go, a stepbrother who is no longer a threat to him."

Half-brothers, who were only stepbrothers, and grew up fearing each other because of the military power of the Longxi Army, Li Xuan's hand holding the teacup was a little stiff: he could trust half of his father, but he could trust this man since he was a child. He really couldn't believe his stepbrother whom he was afraid of, and he didn't even dare to put his future destiny above Li Xuanrong's kindness.

Compassion does not command soldiers, and the generals who have really experienced on the battlefield know this very well.On the battlefield, all threats in sight must be killed as soon as possible, and the price of any hesitation is blood and life.Therefore, Li Xuanjing, the second son of the Li family in Longxi, who looked glamorous on the outside, had many troubles.

What he said today when he came late to talk about marriage with his mother was not an excuse.Previously, his mother followed his father's wishes to find his Yue family for him, and he did not stop him. One was that under the double oppression of his father and stepbrother, if he really disobeyed his father and stepbrother, he would be jealous; very sure.

Now, he is sure that "the world is uneasy", and the opportunity is in his hand, and he has been dismissed from two marriages one after another. He has been "severely hit" on the marriage, and it is human nature to have a "disobedient" heart on the marriage. Ri's father pampered him because of guilt, and he just took this opportunity to take the initiative in his own marriage.

The mother was towards him, and after understanding what he meant, she began to choose a woman.The wealth and background are not important, even the Yue family, which is not as powerful as Wang San, will reassure the stepbrother even more.

"I need a wife who is smart, capable, resolute, and has an extraordinary heart. Because what I do outside is very dangerous, the house needs her to stabilize my house." Li Xuan actually said his request to Mrs. Li, " Appearance and family background don't matter, even the less conspicuous the better. Don't worry, mother! My son is not someone who only looks at appearances and judges people by appearances."

This time, Mrs. Li had a thick roster of unmarried women in Beijing. She decided to find such a wife for her son before General Li and his stepson retreated patiently.

Li Xuan didn't tell Ji Chongyan about these personal matters, but frankly admitted to Ji Chongyan's words: "Your Majesty is right, so I want a chance."

An opportunity that can be tempered without being blocked by General Li and Li Xuanrong.
