At the same time, a feast was being held at Li Yin's residence, and the party was of course Cheng Huailiang, Li Jingye, and Li Yong's group of cronies, but today there was one more person in the group, and that was Li Jing's grandson Li Yexu.

Originally, last time Cheng Huailiang and the others said they would invite Li Yin to a banquet, it was to express their gratitude to Li Yin for his help in the cement plant, and also to welcome Li Yexu who had just been released, but this morning, they all ran to Li Yin. In Min's house, as soon as he arrived, he first asked Li Min if he was responsible for the fireworks last night.Because they knew about Li Yin preparing gifts for Concubine Yang long ago, and it happened to be Concubine Yang’s birthday yesterday, and those fireworks also exploded from the direction of the palace, so they were the first to think of Li Yin, and it turned out that Not as they expected.

It’s rare that there are so many people here today, so Li Yin suggested that everyone don’t have to invite him and Li Yexu separately, and just get drunk at his house today. During this time, he has created a lot of new dishes. Going to make everyone happy.

Hearing Li Yin's proposal, Cheng Huailiang and the others also burst into applause. Anyway, they eat and drink everywhere, and Li Yin's place is better, because there is no better cook than his house in Chang'an City.

So Li Yin gave an order, and the whole Liangwang Mansion became busy again, and soon the preparations were completed. Everyone had a banquet and drank a few cups, and immediately entered the state.Capital Datang 76

"Liu Lang, brother, let me offer you a toast. I didn't have the chance to attend the Five Kings Banquet last time. This bowl of wine is my brother's apology to you!" After Li Yexu finished speaking, he picked up the large bowl and poured it into his mouth. clean and dry.This is the real Five Kings Drunk, and Li Yin has watched him drink three bowls in a row, but Li Yexu, who met him for the first time, didn't even change his face, as if the spirits that were at least one and a half catties It's like drinking into someone else's stomach.

This grandson of the Duke of Wei came here with Li Jingye today, he is fair and handsome, about the same age as Li Ke, and a few years older than Li Yin, not to mention his personality. After all, it was the first time meeting Li Yin, but Li Yexu was very enthusiastic, saying that he heard rumors about Li Yin almost every day at home, and he wanted to make friends with him for a long time. Li Yin took a hearty drink.

Li Yin is also a natural acquaintance, and he also welcomed Li Yexu's enthusiasm, and when he found that he couldn't drink the other party, he immediately diverted the other party's attention and said: "Brother Yexu, I have always had a question in my mind, I don't know if I should ask it or not? "

"My brother, what can't I ask? Just say it!" Li Yexu said to Li Yin while stuffing the roast duck into his mouth. He has heard the delicacies in Li Yin's house for a long time, and this is the first time he has eaten it today. After a taste, it really lived up to its reputation, and now it is like a starving ghost, desperately stuffing things into his mouth, but what is strange is that with his mouth full of food, he can still speak very clearly. Is a strange person.

"Brother Yexu, my little brother has always wondered what mistake you made before, why did Duke Wei get so angry and beat you up for half a month?" Li Yin asked strangely, Ordinarily, Li Jing is Li Yexu's grandfather, and he is so old, he should only love the grandson of his direct relatives, how could he hit him so hard?

Upon hearing Li Yin's question, Li Yexu's face immediately became depressed. Li Jingye next to him obviously knew the inside story, and showed a very rare expression of melancholy, but Qin Huaiyu next to Li Yin seemed to understand something, and asked a little nervously. Said: "Yexu, could it be that you practiced martial arts secretly again?"

As soon as Li Yin heard Qin Huaiyu's words, his mind immediately became confused. Listening to what he said, could practicing martial arts be a huge mistake?

"No, last time I practiced martial arts, my grandfather injured my leg bone, and it hasn't fully healed yet, and I don't need any strength at all." Li Yexu said with a wry smile.

"If you haven't practiced martial arts, then you must be stealing military books again!" At this time, Cheng Huailiang also came over and said sympathetically.

Hearing Cheng Huailiang's words, Li Yexu finally nodded aggrievedly, and said with a dejected face: "I just slipped into my grandfather's study, and then wanted to copy his "The Art of War", and I was busy for half a month. , I finally copied the last volume, and I will be done soon, but I didn’t expect to be discovered by my grandfather, and you all know the consequences, so don’t I need to talk about it?”

After listening to Li Yexu's narration, both Cheng Huailiang and Qin Huaiyu stepped forward and patted their shoulders very understandingly. Although they were very sympathetic to Li Yexu's experience, they could do nothing to help, but Li Yin was at a loss. Shi Shi couldn't help asking: "Yexu, why can't I understand what you are saying, is there something wrong with practicing martial arts and reading?"

"Liu Ying, you don't know the secrets here. If you know the family rules of the Duke of Wei, you should be able to understand what's going on." Qin Huaiyu said helplessly.

"Duke Wei's family rules?" Li Yin had never heard of it, but he immediately asked, "What's wrong with this family rule? Is it still stipulated that the descendants of the Duke of Wei's mansion are forbidden to practice martial arts and study?"

"It's not that you are forbidden to practice martial arts and read books, but you are prohibited from practicing martial arts and learning the art of war. Even if you become an official after you become an adult, you are not allowed to serve in the army." Li Yexu corrected with a wry smile.

"What? How can there be such family rules in this world?" Li Yin cried out in shock, with an expression of disbelief. You must know that no matter what you do now, you must pay attention to the origin of family studies. Passing down from generation to generation is the main form of skill inheritance, and Li Jing, as the military god of the Tang Dynasty, if his descendants can enter the army, relying on his prestige in the army and the art of war passed down, the Li family will definitely become the leader of the army. outstanding.But Li Jing didn't go on this Yangguan road, and instead set up such weird family rules. Isn't this against him?

"However, grandfather just set such family rules!" Li Yexu was full of complaints about his family's family rules, and there was an undisguised hatred on his face when he spoke.

"But there must be an explanation for such a weird family rule?" Li Yin felt that this family rule should not have been established by Wei Guogong because he was a fool, and there must be something hidden in it.

"Yes, yes, my grandfather said that he killed too many people back then, so he felt quite uneasy in his later years, so he asked Yuan Tiangang to look for a fortune teller, but the old magic stick approved his fate, saying that his life was extremely human and prosperous. However, the killing and abuse on the battlefield will be retribution on the children and grandchildren, and the only way to break it is to prohibit the children and grandchildren from serving in the army, so grandfather made such a broken rule." Li Yexu said through gritted teeth, especially in the When Yuan Tiangang was mentioned, the look on his face looked like he wanted to eat him alive.

Is it Yuan Tiangang again?Li Yin was startled. Last time he had heard about Hua'er once, and he also knew some of his deeds in his previous life. In the past, Li Yin at most regarded Yuan Tiangang as a high-level magic stick, but since crossing After the Tang Dynasty, he had some doubts about ghosts and gods. Although he still didn't fully believe it, he had to admit that there were really some mysterious things in this world that couldn't be explained.Capital Datang 76

"Ah~, originally this family rule might not matter to other people. For example, Yexu's father and several uncles are now serving as civil servants in the court, but Yexu has suffered a lot. He likes to practice martial arts by nature, everyone One point is also very interested in the art of war. If it is placed in the home of other generals, maybe it will make the elders happy, but in the eyes of Wei Gong, he is looking for a dead end. After all, he does not want the retribution of killing and cruelty. It's about his grandson, so don't look at him often beating Ye Xu badly, it's actually for the good of Ye Xu." Qin Huaiyu is a few years older, and has a calm temperament, so he analyzed the matter very thoroughly.

"I also know that my grandfather is doing it for my own good, but I was born with such a temper. If I am not allowed to ride a horse to fight, it would be better to kill me." Li Yexu is also stubborn, although he can understand his grandfather's kindness , but not willing to give up their ideals.

It's just that Li Yin's shrewdness made him think of another deep meaning of Li Jing's prohibition of his descendants from entering the army. It is probably because he has made too much contribution and is afraid of arousing Li Shimin's suspicion, so he forbids his descendants to serve in the army. He himself doesn't actually control the military power, so even if someone else slanders Li Shimin to suspect him, he probably won't be able to suspect anything.

Regarding Li Yexu's matter, Li Yin was really at a loss. After all, Li Jing was an elder, and as a junior, he could only find an opportunity to explain to the old man, but it's hard to say whether people are willing to listen.Not to mention Cheng Huailiang and the others, who have known Li Yexu since childhood. If there was a way, they would have used it long ago. Why would they wait until now?

In the end, everyone could only explain a few words together, and then accompany Li Yexu to drink away their sorrows, but unfortunately in the end, they could only add to their sorrows. In the end, Li Yin saw that this was not the solution. If this continues, the banquet will fail They broke up happily, so they hurriedly carried up the things that had been prepared, and called back Li Yong and others who were playing around, because he had something important to announce to everyone.
