Chapter 381
Outsiders are generally not allowed to enter the ancestral hall on the day of the great sacrifice. Gao Lishi also knew this rule, so he didn't go in directly.

Li Wei reacted very quickly, and quickly said: "My house is right next to it, if you don't think it's too rough, you can sit in the snail house."

Gao Lishi chuckled, "Dudu Li, let's go and sit down! I have something to ask you."

Li Ye nodded, "Please, Mr. Gao!"

Li Wei hurriedly opened the back door and took them directly there. Today is the day of the clan festival, there will definitely be people from the clan coming over, so Li Wei's house was cleaned up very cleanly, just in time for Gao Lishi to come, so he didn't lose face too much.

The two sat down in the living room, and Gao Lishi said lightly: "Today, the Holy Majesty is in a very good mood. He talked a lot about your grandfather. I'm afraid there will be bad news. You have to be mentally prepared."

Li Ye nodded, of course he knew that after Li Linfu's death, the Li family was completely liquidated.

All the children and grandchildren were exiled and their family property was deprived. Li Linfu dragged the corpse out of the coffin, wrapped it in a mat, and buried it in a random grave.

The root cause is that Li Longji wants to be a good person, and to vent his anger on all those persecuted by Li Linfu.

This is the cruelest politics, the emperor is always right, the sins are borne by the ministers, and finally the liquidation is carried out, so that people all over the world praise the emperor for his sageness.

But Li Ye also believed that he must have changed history, and Li Linfu's ending would not be so miserable.

At this time, Li Wei arranged for Li Xun to come up to offer tea, and it was logical that his daughter Xiao He should come to serve tea, and Li Ye immediately understood what Li Wei meant.

Li Ye smiled and introduced to Gao Lishi: "This is Li Xun, my elder brother. He will take the No. 7 autumn test in Jingzhao. He will take part in the Mingjing Division in March next year. He is very worried that the officials will not be able to pass Yang Xiangguo's test. Can Gao Weng take care of it?"

Gao Lishi smiled and nodded, "As long as he passes the provincial examination, I will guarantee him to pass the official examination, and I will also guarantee him a real vacancy."

Li Xun was overjoyed, and bowed to thank him again and again. Gao Lishi smiled and waved his hands: "Don't thank me, I'm doing this to save Dudu Li, and he's already opened his mouth. Can I help?"

Li Xun glanced at Li Ye gratefully, and retreated.

Li Ye nodded, "Gao Weng is so straightforward, it seems that today is not a good day!"

Gao Lishi laughed dryly, "You! What a little fox, so fine."

"Gao Weng might as well just say it straight, I can understand it, how are you going to deal with my grandfather?"

Gao Lishi shook his head, "Your grandfather, the emperor, has promised to give him a good death. His time is not long. The imperial doctor said that his death will be before spring. You should know it?"

Li Ye is sad, it is true.

Gao Lishi continued: "The emperor said, except for you and your father, all the descendants of your grandfather will be dismissed from their posts and mourned, including the son-in-law!"

Li Ye nodded silently. This is to find a reason to dismiss him. He suddenly remembered something and asked, "Where is your son-in-law?"

Li Ye remembered that Li Xun's brother-in-law is Xinping County Captain, so he will be implicated too?
Gao Lishi shook his head, "Your Majesty didn't mention the grandson-in-law. He probably doesn't want to expand the scope. If the scope is expanded, the in-laws will inevitably be implicated, and the grandson-in-law should not be included."

"Thank you Gao Weng!"

Li Ye knew in his heart that the executor was Gao Lishi, and the scale was actually in Gao Lishi's hands. To be strict, the grandson-in-law is also the son-in-law.

Gao Lishi said lightly: "Don't thank me, the final execution is in your hands."

"how you said that?"

"Let me just say it straight! The emperor wants to take the hidden treasure of Cui Pavilion, and the Holy Majesty promises that you can take ten hidden objects from the hidden treasure, no matter what it is."

Li Ye also said without hesitation: "Gao Weng needn't say anything, I will take the initiative to offer it to the emperor in the name of my grandfather, and I don't want ten treasures either."

Li Ye knew well that in history, Li Linfu buried all the hidden treasures with him, but in the end Li Longji dug up all the treasures and flogged his corpse.

Li Ye knew Li Longji's greed and black belly too well. He had long set his sights on his grandfather's Lancui Pavilion, one of the three treasure houses. How could Li Longji let it go?

Gao Lishi looked at Li Ye strangely, and Li Ye smiled lightly: "The Son of Heaven gave me a chance. If I don't take Wang Xizhi's "Funeral Poster", I will not be reconciled. If I do, the Son of Heaven will not be reconciled. Junjie!"

Gao Lishi gave a thumbs up sincerely, this kid is not ordinary, he can become a master.

He said again: "If you hand over the key to Baoji No. [-] warehouse now, I will give you two more good news."

The key and the list are all put in the secret room, how to get them out?

But Li Ye had a way. He asked Li Xun to fetch paper and pen, wrote a voluntary treasure offering book, signed it and stamped it with a private seal, and handed it to Gao Lishi.

"Let's go to Baoji Cabinet, and I will sign the handover in person. It doesn't matter if I have the key and the slip or not."

Gao Lishi was taken aback, "Why?"

Li Ye smiled slightly and said: "To tell you the truth, Gao Weng, I plan not to come back for several years. I think the best way to hide it is to destroy it. I destroyed the key and the list, but as long as my fingerprints are correct, Baoji The cabinet shop promised to make a replacement for me, and they can break open the iron door and install a new lock."

"That's a good idea!"

Gao Lishi nodded approvingly, "The Holy Majesty also stated that after your grandfather passed away, the title will be reduced to Shangdang Duke, which will be inherited by your father; second, after the spring of next year, your father will be promoted to Minister of Rites."

Li Ye sighed, which was a little bit of comfort.

"Thank you, Son of Heaven, for your kindness!"

Gao Lishi got up and said: "Now let's go to the cabinet workshop, I will bring the treasure list to the emperor today."

It was almost evening, and Li Ye hurried back to the ancestral hall. Everyone was waiting for him, but there was no expression of dissatisfaction on their faces. Li Ye was invited away by Gao Lishi, and this kind of honor is not something everyone can get.

Especially Li Wei, Li Ye made Gao Lishi personally promise to protect his son to pass the examination of the Ministry of Officials with a casual word from Li Ye, and gave it back to the official, which made him very grateful.

"Uncle Qi, sorry, I'm late!"

Li Wei hurriedly greeted: "No! No! It's not time yet, go change clothes!"

Li Ye went to the rest area to change into a sacrificial uniform, but refused to go to the front, and stood in the line of juniors behind.

The courtyard and the main hall of the sacrificial ceremony were full of tribesmen, six to seventy people, including thirteen Li’s parents. They stood in the lobby, followed by their sons, followed by their wives and daughters. Participate in family festivals.

In the lobby, Li Dai led the sacrifice, and the twelve brothers were the chief priests. This is Li Dai's cleverness, so that all the brothers are the chief priests, unlike the West Temple where only four people are the chief priests, and the others are accompanying sacrifices.

In this way, all the brothers will be twisted into one rope, and their children will also be proud of their father as the priest, giving the brothers dignity, and what they get is unity.

The patriarch Li Dai read the sacrificial oration, and the chief priests stepped forward to offer sacrifices one by one. Everyone knelt down and kowtowed. For the sake of common ancestors, countless small families with a common blood relationship unite into a big family, protecting their own interests with the strength of a family.

The power of ancient human beings was weak. Facing all kinds of horrible natural disasters, the power of one person was so small that individuals formed families, linked by blood, and more than a dozen families formed families, linked by common interests. The ten families form the clan, and based on the common area of ​​life, countless clans form a larger group, which is the country.

Everyone changed clothes in the rest area, and the family left the ancestral hall and went home. At this time, the city gate had just closed, and there was still a period of time before the square gate closed. , the people of Chang'an who hurried home to eat the New Year's Eve dinner.

Inside the carriage, Li Dai asked with concern: "What is Gao Lishi looking for you today?"

Li Ye said lightly: "The emperor forced me to hand over the treasure hidden in Lancui Pavilion!"

Li Dai was shocked, and asked for a while, "You gave it?"

"Can I not give it?"

Li Ye wrote lightly: "He will use two ways to get what the emperor likes, one is to take it by chance, and the other is to plunder it. We also have a choice, either to take it with us or to burn it with us. If we can't escape , and don’t want to burn jade and stone together, then you should offer it according to the current affairs, so as to avoid being robbed by the emperor.”

"What will happen to Hao Duo?" Pei Sanniang asked from the side.

"Mother! Haozhuo means waiting for the grandfather to die, and the emperor will charge him with a crime, such as colluding with Albus in the rebellion, and then all his descendants, sons, daughters-in-law, and daughters-in-law will be exiled to Lingnan. In less than ten years, the entire family will be wiped out. All wealth is confiscated, which is called extortion."
