Chapter 156 Birthday 2

Although Li Chong has withdrawn from the temple for many years, he still has a great influence in the government and the opposition. Li Wei became the leader of the State of Zhao before his forties and took charge of the criminal law of a country. Of course, his own talent is one of the reasons, but the fundamental reason is still that his father will be so important to appease the Li family after Li Chong left the court. The required position was handed over to Li Dui, who performed mediocrely in the local office.

Because at that time, when the "Hufu riding and shooting" reform was implemented, the resistance encountered by the master was unprecedentedly strong. Therefore, in order to implement the law smoothly, we can only compromise with the major forces in the State of Zhao as much as possible, and the attitude of the Li family is crucial. Li Dui is also a smart person. He knows that his foundation is unstable, and the master's intention to reform is to get it. The obstruction is tantamount to being a car, so he simply conforms to the situation and stands on the side of the master, and no longer resists the @ system.

Facts also prove that Li Dui's choice is correct. In this drastic change, the Li family not only did not hurt their muscles and bones like other families. On the contrary, it was favored by the master and father. The family members benefited a lot from the political reshuffle of the State of Zhao. The power of the family also exceeded the old Hu family at the end of more than 500 years, and it has become the first rich family in the State of Zhao. After the abdication of the master's father, Feiyi became Taifu Li Dui as Shaofu, and together with Feiyi and Gongzi as the auxiliary minister, which shows the success of Li Dui's political speculation.

As for Li Chong, although he is a famous conservative leader of the State of Zhao, he basically doesn't care about his son's work in the court. In order to be invisible, he moved to the old house in Jinyang and stopped asking about Zhao Guotang.

Since Zhao Jianzi sent his ministers to build Jinyang, Jinyang City was the political and economic center of the State of Zhao until the period of Zhao Jinghou. In order to go south to dominate the Central Plains, Zhao Jinghou first moved the capital to Zhongmou and then to Handan. However, the Li family did not move the whole family business with the relocation of the capital of the State of Zhao. Instead, the Li family was divided into two parts, neither giving up the foundation of Jinyang nor far away from the new political power center of the State of Zhao.

At that time, the political situation of the State of Zhao was turbulent and the national strength declined. The patriarch of the Li family also kept an eye on him. He did not put all the chips on Zhao, the head of the State of Zhao, but left a way out for himself for emergencies. However, with the increasing stability of the political situation of the State of Zhao and the gradual strengthening of the national strength, Handan, as the new political center of the State of Zhao, can no longer be replaced. The back road reserved by the head of the Li clan is also a little unrealistic. On the contrary, it is a little weak because of dividing the Li family into two.

So under the active persuasion of Li Wei, Li Chong finally agreed to move Jinyang's old house back to Handan. From then on, he gave up expanding Jinyang's foundation and turned to operating Handan. Li Chong also took this opportunity to return to Handan, which also symbolized the combination of the two branches of Jinyang and Handan Li.

As a son of a big family, he is completely different from a scholar from a poor family. The children of a family should more consider the interests of the family, the country, the country, the family first and then the country. The poor scholars are different. From the grassroots to the temple, they are naturally grateful to the Lord who gave them the opportunity and want to repay them twice. This is also the reason why the vast majority of the stock and generals used by the master's father's reform of the New Deal are talents who have been quickly promoted from the poor. These people are represented by Feiyi and Lou Huan, and only they will resolutely support their own self-improvement.

Also because these poor scholars do not have a strong family support, their rise and fall depends entirely on the king's will, which also forces them to unite closely with the king, so as to fight against the powerful scholar group. Therefore, for Li Chong, Fei Yi and Lou Huan are not in their eyes, not to mention the little Handan county magistrate. He said that he really wanted to deal with Ran Ben. With the energy of him and the Li family in the court, it was absolutely impossible for Gong Zicheng to distinguish for Ran.

So when Li Chong said this, Li just gloated and hummed without dissuading him. According to her strong nature, it must be impossible to say that she has no resentment for Ran. Since her father is willing to stand out, she naturally has no reason to stop her.

Zhao Xin's face was a little ugly. He suddenly thought that he and Ran Min were friends. If it was because of this kind of trouble for her grandfather to find her father, it would be difficult for their friends to do.

Thinking of Ran Min's smiling smile, Zhao Xin's heart beat loudly. Since he parted with Ran Min a month ago, he couldn't find a suitable excuse to meet her. After that day, there was more or less a trace of strange feelings in his heart. Although he was still young and still knew little about men and women, he still knew his good feelings for Ran Min. When he heard his mother mention it, his face couldn't help but feel hot, and he was a little anxious to hear his grandfather's words.

Recommizing this, Zhao Xin scratched his head and said awkwardly, "Father, in fact, it doesn't have to be like this. Although Ranmin and I have not become the kind you want, we are real friends. I also went out of the city with her last month. If you deliberately embarrass him, it will make it a little difficult for me to do it."

It was Li who was surprised first. She elonged her voice and looked at her son with interest and asked, "Do you really have anything to do with Ran Min?"

Zhao Xin felt from Li Shijiong's eyes that it was not good, but he could only shrink his head and said, "Really."

Then under Li's coercion and inducement, he told the truth about what happened last time. After listening to Li, Li slapped him heavily and said with a smile, "You boy, you can get Ran Min's hand without saying a sound, and you're worried about your mother."

Zhao Xin rubbed his painful shoulder, sweating heavily in his heart, and quickly waved his hand; "Mother, don't talk nonsense about this matter. Ran Min and I are just ordinary friends. Don't shout and ruin their reputation."

"Nonsense." Li stared at Zhao Xin and said, "You are really puzzled. Ran Min is a lady. If she is not interested in you, how can she go out of the city to play with you, a wild boy? You should know that the people who came to ask for marriage have broken the threshold, but Ran Min hasn't even looked at them, but went out of the city with you. What do you think this means? Do you still need me to say more?"

Zhao Xin said awkwardly, "That's not necessarily true."

Li's willow eyebrows stood up, and he was about to speak, but Li Chong, who was beside him, said first. Seeing that, Li Chong laughed and said, "What is not necessarily? I think only eighty-nine can be achieved."

Looking at Li again, he said, "Is there an invitation today?"

Li nodded and said, "Yes, we have sent a wedding invitation to officials with more than 500 stones, which is sure to come with his wife and daughter."

Li Chong nodded and smiled, "It's the best. I'll propose marriage to Ran Ben in a while. I think my old bone will come forward, and he will definitely not refuse."

Zhao Xin said urgently, "But..."

"But what is it?" Li Chong stared at Zhao Xin and said, "There is nothing but. Marriage is originally the order of parents. You can't say so much 'but 'no' but'. Today, if you say in front of me that you are not interested in this Ran Min at all, then I will not embarrass you, otherwise the matter will be settled.

Zhao Xin opened his mouth wide and was a little at a loss. After hesitating for a long time, he still closed his mouth. Li Chong stared at him with wide eyes. Seeing that he did not say anything to refute in the end, he couldn't help showing a heartfelt smile on his face. However, Zhao's confidence is that according to Ran Min's nature, she may not agree to marry herself. What's more, it is more likely to be an intuitive refusal, which will inevitably break the harmonious friendship between the two.

However, he hesitated for a long time. After all, he did not object. He just lowered his head and acquiesced to the facts, and only an idea flashed in his head.

If you can really marry her, it should be a good thing.
