Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 250 Chen Bingqi County
On a summer afternoon, a timely heavy rain came unexpectedly.

There was a severe drought in Guanzhong this year, and the sudden rain finally eased the drought.

The people rushed out of the house, knelt on the ground in the heavy rain, cried and laughed, and worshiped God devoutly. The villages beat gongs and drums, and they were as happy as a festival.

Standing in the rain, Li Qinzai smiled happily when he saw the joyful appearance of the people.

The pressure and resentment in my heart seemed to have eased a lot with the arrival of this heavy rain.

Compared with the food harvest that is a matter of life and death for the family, what is this little thing of myself?

The young and strong households from various villages of the Li family assembled in Weinan County according to the order. Many households rushed to Weinan County fully armed, wearing the leather armor and weapons they used to be soldiers in the government.

In just one day, more than [-] farmers have gathered.

Li Qinzai sighed silently, the gathering of so many people, if not for the acquiescence of Li Zhi and Empress Wu, the defenders in Chang'an might have become nervous, thinking that someone was plotting a rebellion.

Outside Weinan County, more than [-] people consciously lined up, and the crowd was silent. Although they were all veterans who had been disarmed and returned to the fields, once they stood in the long-lost line, they were still standard soldiers. The strict rules of the army have been engraved into their bones.

Liu Asi leaned over and said softly: "Five Young Master, in a hurry, these people are the only ones that can be mobilized in Guanzhong. Look..."

Li Qinzai hummed, and said, "That's enough, give the order to go."

Liu Ah Si asked cautiously, "Where are we going?"

Li Qinzai looked into the distance, and said in a low voice, "Go to Taiyuan, Wang's ancestral home."

Liu Ahsi's eyelids twitched: "What are we going to do in Wang's ancestral house?"

"Oh, it's like this. I heard that the head of the Wang family celebrated his 2000th birthday. I brought [-] people to his house to pay respects to him, wishing him a happy life every year, every year..."

Liu Asi's little mung bean blinked for a long time, and then smiled wryly: "Five young man, don't make trouble, so many people are here to pay birthday wishes, they are obviously going to search the house..."

Li Qinzai glanced at him and said, "You like to ask nonsense so much, I have no choice but to reply with nonsense."

It was raining heavily, and Liu Asi put Li Qinzai on a coir raincoat. Li Qinzai looked up at the misty and rainy front, and sighed: "This rain is so good..."

"Si, give the order to set off."

…………

Taiyuan, the land of Longqian, the great ancestor of the Tang Dynasty.

During the Sui Dynasty, Li Yuan was left behind in Taiyuan, and his forces and troops developed and grew in Taiyuan, and only then did he have the strength to overthrow the Sui Dynasty and change the world.

After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Taiyuan, as the former Longqian residence of Gaozu, built a royal palace on the basis of the original residence.

Those who followed Gaozu's uprising back then were not only the famous generals of the Tang Dynasty, but also the aristocratic families of Guanlong and Shandong.

No matter how weak a dynasty is, it is impossible for it to collapse in less than a year.

The Sui Dynasty collapsed so quickly, it was precisely because of the help of these aristocratic families, Li Yuan ascended to the top, and the world's aristocrats followed. They no longer hide their strength and edge, and aristocratic families from all over the world rose up one after another, and the Sui Dynasty was full of flames.

As a result, the Sui Dynasty collapsed. In less than a year, this once incomparably glorious and powerful dynasty fell into the dust of history.

And those aristocratic families who followed Li Yuan's uprising also got the benefits they wanted after the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

Aristocratic families participate in wars, what they want is not justice, but interests and power.

It was precisely because the conflicts between Sui Yang Emperor and the great families had become irreconcilable that they joined forces to overthrow him.

Li Yuan gave them benefits, such as the official position in the court, each family's territory, the unique cultural faction representing their own background, and the almost high degree of autonomy and tolerance in each family's territory, etc.

Later, when Li Shimin became the emperor, he married the Taiyuan Wang family with his sons and daughters. Li Zhi, who was only a teenager at that time, was appointed as his life partner.

So far, the scenery of the aristocratic family has reached its peak, with flowers blooming and fire cooking oil.

After the peak, there is a downhill road, which is an unavoidable law of nature.

The aristocratic family is becoming more and more aggressive, and the disciples and old officials are all over the court, which affects the centralization of power, and even the shadow of the aristocratic family is looming in the struggle for the heir.

The Tian family began to be jealous and dissatisfied.

After Wu Dezhen watched the forbearance of two generations of emperors, the Tang dynasty was established and Li Zhi ascended the throne. After several years of planning, Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang were removed.

It is a dividing line, which represents the rapid transformation of the relationship between the Tian family and the aristocratic family from interdependence to enemy and friend.

The current relationship is that we haven't turned our faces, but we can't go back.

Li Qinzai led more than [-] farmers to Taiyuan, and the journey was unimpeded.

It's amazing. It is said that such a large-scale young and strong team appeared, and the local government should report it layer by layer as if they were facing a big enemy.After all, this is a very taboo thing, almost the same as treason.

But everywhere the team led by Li Qinzai passed was calm, the government seemed to be blind and deaf, seeing nothing and hearing nothing.

Li Qinzai smiled wryly, well, strictly speaking, he was making trouble by order, and Li Zhi and Empress Wu must have given orders to get through the joints that should be opened up.

That being the case, let's have a good time, Li Qinzai can do what Li Zhi and Empress Wu are inconvenient to do.

This was originally a shady cooperation between the monarch and his ministers.Li Qinzai was responsible for stirring up the excrement, and Li Zhi and Empress Wu were responsible for throwing the excrement into the mouth of the family.

Occupation, regardless of high or low, is to serve the people.

Besides, if you dare to send assassins to assassinate this dude, do you really think that this dude is a Bodhisattva, so merciful and tolerant?

Traveling from Weinan County, it was five days later when we arrived in Taiyuan.

Li Qin drove through Taiyuan City but did not enter. He was going to Qi County.

The Taiyuan Wang clan is divided into two branches, one is the Qixian Wang clan and the other is the Jinyang Wang clan.Both branches belong to Taiyuan County, so they are collectively called "Taiyuan Wang Clan".

Li Zhi's ex-wife, Queen Wang, came from the Wang family in Qi County.

The new wife of the father-in-law in Qingzhou also came from the Wang family of Qi County, and the mastermind behind the secret plot to assassinate Li Qinzai was also the Wang family of Qi County.

There is a grievance and a debtor, and what Li Qinzai has to deal with is the Wang family of Qi County.

Two thousand farmers went straight to Qi County.

One day later, outside the ancestral house of Wang's family in Qi County, two thousand households lined up with soldiers, intent on killing.

Outside the peaceful Wang family's ancestral house, a 2000-strong army suddenly appeared, and the Wang family members were terrified.

When two thousand soldiers and horses calmly lined up outside the ancestral house, the gate of the ancestral house was slammed shut, and the house was already full of wolves, and everyone was in panic.

Li Qinzai was riding on the horse, quietly watching the Wang's ancestral house surrounded by green hills.

The environment here is elegant, with green mountains and green waters, mountains shrouded in clouds and mist, woodcutters in the forest, fishing and plowing and singing, which is an idyllic and elegant scenery. In terms of scenery, it is a bit better than Ganjingzhuang, and it reveals an outstanding temperament from inside to outside.

In such a beautiful and elegant environment, why do the people living here still have evil intentions and plot to harm others?

After an hour of incense burning, the closed gate of Wang's ancestral house opened, and a middle-aged man in a Confucian shirt walked out boldly, and walked hundreds of feet to Li Qinzai's horse.

The middle-aged man first bowed to Li Qinzai politely, and then asked gently: "I am Wang Ning of Taiyuan, dare I ask your surname Gao. Why is Chen Bing outside Wang's ancestral house?"

Li Qinzai stared at Wang Ning's face, and after a while he said softly: "My name is Li Qinzai, the grandson of the Duke of England, do you know why I came here?"
