Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 598: Humble Li Xin, online reflection (please give me a monthly recommendation ticket!)
Longxi County held banquets for three days and three nights in a row, and Jiuyuan County, which was the recipient of Longxi County's blood supply, naturally also heard about it soon.Coincidentally, Jiuyuan County is also hosting a banquet at this time.

The [-]th birthday banquet of Li Xin's grandson Li Guang.

Li Guang, who was still a baby, was picked up from the water basin by his wet nurse. He was babbling and picked up from the hands of a group of burly men. When Li Guang arrived, all the guests and friends stood up to greet him:
"Congratulations to Marquis Yongwu on the birth of Sun Lang!"

"You all came here today to congratulate me, so we won't talk about military affairs. Let's just have a good time drinking."

After the words were spoken, the sound of silk and bamboo played, and the singers and actresses slowly appeared on the stage. The scene was green, but in the military camp, the firelight was melting, and the green clothes showed no charm.

Wang Li is a person who is used to watching singing and dancing, but he is also a person who has been deeply influenced by his family education.

The soldiers gathered together to throw pots. Each of them opened his clothes and exposed his chest hair, which was very indecent. Not only that, they also dragged the singer over to participate in the pot throwing.

Men and women are playing, laughing and joking, and they are always coquettish.

Wang Li sat alone on the edge, pouring himself a drink, but no one paid attention to him.At that time, Li Xin was holding his grandson and kissing him again and again after washing him in the golden basin.This fierce general who has already reached his forties has a strong belly and round waist.

If he had changed into regular clothes, you would have thought that he was just a businessman who was full of food. Who would have guessed that this man was the famous flying general of the Qin Dynasty - Li Xin.

In the prelude to the battle, the whole army celebrated Li Xin's grandson. Wang Li had the title, but he couldn't drink it.

Between the toasts and cups, the shadow of the moon moved eastward, and it was already midnight.Xiao Li Guang had already fallen asleep, and was taken to the room by the wet nurse.The hustle and bustle outside and the loud shouts have nothing to do with him at present.

The old wine brewed in Guan Nei is just spicier and stronger in taste and does not make you drunk.

After they had enjoyed themselves, everyone dispersed long ago, and Wang Li also left.

Looking at the empty courtyard, Li Xinxin had mixed feelings for a moment.He was afraid that after this battle, his Li family's house would look like this desolate in the future.

Li Xin's son Li Ruyi came to the courtyard.In fact, Li Ruyi is not inferior to his father at all. He is tall, tall and handsome.It's just that he was wearing the black and yellow dark clothes he used to wear at home, he walked smoothly and steadily, and his appearance was mature and steady.

As soon as he arrived in the courtyard, he immediately became the focus of everyone's attention.

After seeing off the guests, he returned to the banquet, cleaned up the mess on the cups and plates, and dismissed the singers, dancers, and musicians.

Li Ruyi didn't learn archery well, so Li Xin had to teach it to his other sons, otherwise the skill would be lost.

Li Ruyi was wearing white socks, walked up to Li Xin from the table, bowed and said:

"Father, it's late at night, my son, please send father back to his room."

Li Xin shook his head, and the wine in the bar was poured on the table.This naturally shocked Li Ruyi.

Li Xin and Li Ruyi are different. One joined the army as a young man, and the other was taken by his grandfather who studied Confucianism since he was a child. They are both tainted with the atmosphere of Confucianism.

But Li Xin, who had made extraordinary achievements many times, was already middle-aged. When he was sitting in the yard in his spare time, looking at the scholar-like Li Ruyi, he was naturally unhappy.

As Li Xin's eldest son, Li Ruyi will succeed Li Xin in the future according to etiquette and law, which makes Li Xin very conflicted.

Letting a son who couldn't hit nine out of ten shots inherit his title became a major problem for him.

Li Xin is not a legitimate son.The resources of a family always revolve around the eldest son.If Li Xin was the eldest son, he wouldn't have entered the military camp at a young age for the sake of fame and fame, and risked his life to participate in the war.

Li Xin was secretly rebelling against his eldest son's behavior.He clearly understands the disadvantages.If Li Ruyi inherits his title, Marquis Yongwu's reputation will soon decline.

But Li Xin did not dare to change the eldest son inheritance system easily.The Li family is a big family.Although there is no outstanding young man like him in his family, there are also grandfather, father, uncles and uncles in the family.

Those old guys in the clan would not allow him to do this during his lifetime, and they would find others to watch him after his death.

Li Xinxin held his breath and naturally lost his temper.

"Have the horses in the stable been fed?"

"Report to father, all fed."

"The food and grass are also ready?"

"Report to father, everything is ready. Just wait for the rice to mature, and the Huns will go south to plunder it."

Li Xin slumped on the seat, he had long felt tired.

"Okay, back off."

Li Ruyi felt pressured by his father.If he wants to get the title, he must obey his father's wishes in everything.

"Father, there is one more thing. There is news from the Longxi County Mansion. Captain Zhang Han is visiting, and Governor Wang is hosting a banquet for three days."

Li Xin couldn't help but frown when he heard it.

"When did this happen."

"Just a few days."

"Zhang Han——The Second Emperor actually chose him to be the captain. Zhang Han is a cruel official to put it bluntly. He doesn't know anything about the art of war."

After Li Xin finished speaking, he stopped talking.

In the past, he was young, energetic and ignorant, and relied on his merits to argue with ministers in the court. He did not know how to exercise restraint and restraint. As a result, he had no party to rely on in the court.

He was in Xianyang City, and the Wang family was the dominant one in Longxi; but when he arrived in Longxi, it seemed that he, a brave warrior prince, did not exist at all in Xianyang City.

By the time Li Xin realized that he had been squeezed out of the center of power because of his repeated arrogance, it was already too late.

It's not that he is willing to come to Longxi, but that everyone in Xianyang City is either united to exclude him, or they are just watching from the sidelines and watching his jokes.

After Li Xin said this, he knew that his temper could not be changed.

He knew that even if he went back to Xianyang, it would be difficult to change everyone's view of him.It would be better to stay in Longxi, but now, looking at what the second generation meant, he was worried that Longxi would be controlled by others.

Li Xin was deep in thought when he heard Li Ruyi ask:

"I wonder if my father has ever thought about where he will go if he wins this battle again. Longxi County is where the Queen's natal family, the Wang family, makes the final decisions. If he goes back, my father will be bound by him. As a son and minister. I see that the Second Emperor sent Captain Zhang Han to Longxi County on the eve of the war, fearing that he meant one thing but another."

Li Xin listened with a look of surprise on his face.

"When did you know this?"

Li Ruyi was slightly embarrassed. In order to please his father, Li Ruyi gave some benefits to his father's cronies.

"Father, I heard my father's warning to Marquis Wu Cheng from several generals."

Li Xin already knew the reason, but he didn't intend to reveal the matter yet.

"Why, does it mean that he didn't understand my kindness, do you understand?"

"Er Xiao has realized something, but..."

Li Xin looked around and let out a big sigh.

"You all step back."

Everyone immediately stopped what they were doing and disappeared one after another.

To be honest, when Li Ruyi said these words to him, Li Xinxin was filled with enthusiasm.Because he could feel that the child was following him a little bit.

"What on earth were you going to say just now?"

"I am worried about my father, but if I say such words, I am afraid that I will offend His Majesty."

"If you want to say it, just say it. If you're afraid of this or that, what great things can you accomplish!" Li Xin was impatient and had already picked up the wine cup and finished the drink with a bang.

Li Ruyi responded:
"My son is just worried about and thinking about his father this time. Everyone knows that His Majesty really wants a truce. But the Huns in the north have always been aggressive. This time, His Majesty sent his father to come forward. In fact, The purpose is to let my father drive away the Xiongnu in one fell swoop, so that they will not dare to invade."

"For Your Majesty, this victory will free up time to deal with internal affairs, which is a great thing for the world; but for my father, this matter may not be a happy event. The credit is too high and the power is too heavy , will definitely lead to suspicion and suspicion.”

"Behind my father, there is only one Li family. It's not that I don't respect my ancestors. It's just that compared with the Li family in Longxi and the other major sects in Xianyang City, the Li family naturally doesn't have the upper hand. In this case, the Li family must do something good. Be extremely careful.”

"Based on my father's merits, he should have been ranked higher than the Three Dukes in Xianyang City, but my father chose to stay in Longxi."

In fact, with Li Xin's credit, it's actually a bit true and a bit miserable to be here today.

If another family earns military merit and is granted the title of Marquis, the descendants of the family will definitely be promoted to civil servants at the level of Sangong and Jiuqing. However, no one in the Li family has benefited from Li Xin's title.

"My father has repeatedly accomplished extraordinary feats at a young age, but he has been inactive for a long time after becoming a knight. This time, the second emperor has activated my father as soon as he ascends the throne. This shows that my father's opportunity has come."

Ten years ago, Li Xin could be provoked to anger by just a few words, because he was young and disobedient to discipline; if he is still like this ten years later, then he has really gained ten years of rice in vain.

Li Xin listened and twirled his beard:
"You want me to go back to Xianyang City?"

"That's exactly what I mean. Between the Wang family and the Li family, Your Majesty must be more partial to the Wang family. Your Majesty sends people to Longxi County. What kind of message will Zhang Han bring to Your Majesty, Li Yin, the governor of Longxi County?"

Li Xin didn't like the second generation because he felt that he would be played to death by the second generation.As for Xianyang City, Li Xin was naturally unwilling to go back. No one in Xianyang City welcomed him.

But in Longxi, he just wants to be a quiet local snake in Longxi, even if he doesn't have a reputation.

Apart from fighting, Li Xin knew that his political ability was too low, so he was naturally timid to face the people in Xianyang City.
