The clans in Chang'an were also divided into high and low levels.
The clans that formed the country when the country was founded were also very powerful. Some even led armies to fight for one side and became royal generals. Others assisted the emperor in governing the country.
However, after the founding of the country, it was inappropriate for the royal family to be in charge of the army, and being an official in the court was an eyesore, so the clan gradually distanced itself from the army and government affairs.
Without power, there are only two ways to maintain influence. One is the relationship with the emperor, and the other is prestige.
Prestige can often be understood as forming cliques.
Compared with King Liang, King Zhao had more friends, so his prestige was higher and his appeal was stronger. Yang Songcheng wanted to find a son-in-law from the clan, and these two families were the most competitive.
Originally everything was fine, everyone competed, and also built momentum for the old Yang family, but Li Suo drugged and Li Zhi used the knife to kill the two wealthy husbands in one go. The daughter of the Yang family was reportedly very angry.
He said that he would not marry anymore and would look for a place to become a monk later.
In Li Suo's view, Prince Liang's Mansion was a dirtier place than a brothel, so even if Li Zhi was in good condition, this alone would make it impossible for him to become Yang's son-in-law.
A man who can pamper his concubines and kill his wife may one day be tempted by his daughter-in-law. What should he do?
If others say this, they will probably be called a dog.
But the emperor’s current favorite concubine is his former daughter-in-law. How do you say this?
Li Suo did not regard Li Zhi as an opponent, but unexpectedly he capsized in the ditch and fell into his hands.
The dream of Yang's son-in-law came to nothing, and it became more difficult to inherit Prince Zhao's palace out of thin air.
Li Suo gritted his teeth and said, "Do it!"
Zhang Wen galloped his horse.
The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer.
Zhang Wen suddenly flew past on horseback and shouted loudly in mid-air.
One punch.
King Wei looked back and punched him as well.
Boom!
King Wei's body trembled, and his horse neighed and sped up.
Zhang Wen flew back and landed on his horse.
"How?" Li Suo asked.
Zhang Wen said: "He was injured."
"That horse is quite a steed." Li Suo was a little suspicious, "Ordinary people can't own such a horse!"
Zhang Wen squinted his eyes and looked ahead, "That man blocked the previous punch, but refused to put his force on the horse's back. This shows that he cares about this horse. He is an idiot."
"Idiot?"
"That's right, I'm not an idiot. Who would get hurt over a horse?"
Li Suo smiled and said: "I didn't expect that Li Han met some people here. Idiots, only the dead are idiots."
Zhang Wen urged the war horse and adjusted his inner breath, "Don't worry, young man, if you just need one more punch, that man will definitely not be able to hold on."
"Okay!" Li Suo looked up and saw that Li Zhi's figure had long since disappeared in the distance.
"Brother saved him, but he never looked back. The brothers in Prince Liang's Mansion are really deeply affectionate and loyal!" Li Suo smiled particularly desolately.
The brotherhood in Prince Zhao's Mansion is no better than plastic!
Zhang Wen glanced at him and said, "Don't worry, little man. I'll go back and look for some good medicine. Maybe the knife marks can be restored."
"The women in the palace are willing to give their souls to evil ghosts for the sake of beauty, but those with scars will still have scars. Although Prince Zhao's palace has many resources, can it be compared with those in the palace?"
Zhang Wen sighed: "Li Zhi deserves to die!"
"I admit it by taking laxatives. It's harmless and won't harm their future." Li Suo sneered.
Zhang Wen said: "Li Han is stupid, Li Zhi is ruthless, and the next generation of Prince Liang's family has no hope."
"Where is Prince Zhao's Mansion?"
Li Suo asked casually.
Zhang Wen took a deep breath, "I think those brothers who can compete with Xiaolangjun to inherit the kingship will have some minor incidents, or their reputation will be ruined, or... they will have their arms and legs broken."
"Don't shout and kill, we are brothers after all."
"Yes, Mr. Xiao Lang is kind."
As the heir that the Zhao Palace has devoted all its efforts to cultivate, Li Suo has resources that other brothers cannot match. With just a few, he can make other brothers withdraw from the competition for the succession of the king.
But it depends on his father's wishes. If his father still loves him, he will acquiesce. If his father feels that there is no hope for him, he will stop him.
Just like the women in the harem competing for favor.
Zhang Wen suddenly roared.
It turns out that the distance between the two parties has become much closer.
This long roar is a warning. If it doesn't stop, it will not stop.
"Hey! If you leave me, he won't dare to kill me anyway!"
"But he will humiliate you." King Wei hugged Li Han with his backhand.
"Don't you often say that I am shameless? Humiliate me!"
"You are shameless, so why did you come to save your brother? Don't tell me that you have any brotherhood with him."
After his mother passed away, Li Zhi was taken to Li Zhen's care because he was still young. He didn't know how to do anything else, and he learned all about Li Zhen's ruthlessness and viciousness.
"I promised grandma."
"Your mother-in-law has been gone for many years. Besides, your brother is Li Zhen No. 2. Your mother-in-law has knowledge underground, so she definitely doesn't want you to rescue him."
"When did you become so sharp-tongued?" Li Han struggled for a moment, but couldn't break free. "If he is gone, I will lose my home."
King Wei remained silent.
Li Han asked: "Hey! Then why did you come to save me?"
King Wei said with a straight face, "You eat my food and drink my food, how much do you owe me?"
"I have never heard of a creditor rescuing his debtor."
King Wei said: "You said you would be my king's military advisor."
The sound of passing through the air came from behind.
"I can't bear it anymore, pull out the towel!"
The military advisor smiled bitterly behind him.
King Wei looked back and pulled gently.
The face towel was blown away by the wind.
"It's King Wei!"
Zhang Wen fell from the air like a big bird that had been hit by an arrow.
"It's him!" Li Suo's body shook, and he shouted through gritted teeth: "Zhang Wen."
Zhang Wen landed and immediately rushed forward, "The villain is here!"
"Get Li Han down!"
He wanted to see if Li Zhi could remain indifferent with Li Han in his hand.
"Send the news back, I want to make Li Zhi infamous."
"Take orders!"
Zhang Wen's figure flashed rapidly, as fast as a galloping horse.
When he got closer, he stretched out his hand to grab Li Han.
King Wei gave a backhand punch.
Boom!
King Wei's body shook.
Zhang Wen smiled ferociously, "Your majesty, please give way!"
In the view of the clan, unless the emperor abolishes the Yang family and appoints the Qiao family as his queen, King Wei will not be able to enter the East Palace no matter how hard he tries.
The princes other than the prince are an idle clan.
As long as they don't act cruelly, who does Prince Zhao's Mansion fear?
Thinking of this, Zhang Wen felt calm, but he could no longer hold his breath, so he stopped and waited for the war horse to come over and jump on its back.
This section of the official road has many potholes, forcing both sides to slow down.
There are fields on both sides, which can be passed quickly, but it is dangerous to accidentally get a horse's hoof stuck in it.
Li Suo shouted: "Outflank!"
The guards rushed through the fields on both sides.
One of the horses neighed, but it stepped into a mud pit. The horse stumbled for a few steps and stopped moving forward.
But more guards rushed over.
Zhang Wen said with a smile: "There are many of us, and we can grind him to death!"
Ta-ta!
Ta-ta!
A rider appeared in front of him.
Looking lazy, he even stretched out his hands to build an awning in front of his eyes.
“So lively!”
The guards on both wings were already parallel to the King of Wei and were preparing to overtake and intercept.
"Get away!"
A guard shouted to the man in front of him.
Ta-ta-ta!
The sound of horse hooves continued.
Ahead, more than a hundred riders appeared and were accelerating.
The man smiled and said: "I said you were fine when you went out, but now you are vomiting blood and are lame. What are you doing?"
King Wei said angrily: "Behind us are the masters of Prince Zhao's palace. With your cultivation, please get out of the way."
Yang Xuan chuckled, "Good skills? I have them too!"
More than a hundred riders sped up behind him.
Tu Shang held a long spear in his hand and stared at Zhang Wen.
Li Sulema, "Yang Xuan?"
The old thief said with a cold face, "You should be called Yang Shijun."
Wang Laoer sighed: "Old thief, you said that the clan son has a tutor, but now I look at it, he seems to have no family!"
Wu Da glanced at Li Su and said, "You are still masked. Not only do you have no home, but you are also shady."
Three mallets can bring anger to life!
Yang Xuan smiled and said: "But the young man of Prince Zhao's residence?"
Lisso pulled back the veil.
Damn it!
Yang Xuan glanced at Li Han and said, "Your brother seems to be more ruthless than you."
"In Prince Liang's palace, if you are not ruthless, you will not be able to stand firmly." Li Han was still sitting behind Prince Wei, and Yang Xuan felt that it was very harmonious.
It's like being one.
This idea seems a little evil.
It shouldn’t be!
Li Suo said calmly: "Are you sure Yang Shijun wants to block the way to Prince Zhao's Mansion?"
Yang Xuan touched his bare chin and thought of his dear father-in-law again.
Both Weng and son-in-law have no beards. Would An Ning feel embarrassed if they went out side by side?
"Talk about it." Yang Xuan waved, and Li Zhi was brought up from behind.
"I've met Mr. Yang." Li Zhi was very gentle.
"Don't act like a child, I won't help but slap you." Yang Xuan looked at Li Han and felt that this guy was really unlucky.
Li Zhi still pretended to be an honest boy, "Earlier, Mr. Yang said that he wanted to find a son-in-law from the clan. My family thinks that I have a better chance..."
Yang Xuan shook his head at Li Han, "You can't even brag compared to him."
Li Han smiled bitterly.
Li Zhi seemed to be very thick-skinned, and he still did not blush under Yang Xuan's poisonous tongue, "Yang arranged for us to gather together, and Li Suo poisoned us."
Talent!
Yang Xuan shook his head, thinking what if his son became like this in the future?
Aning seems to be an unprincipled and loving mother. She will probably ask: My son! What kind of poison do you want? Should you fall down with a smile, or will it fall apart with a kiss?
"I'm young." Li Zhi was very young, still a teenager, but Yang Xuan couldn't see him pretending to be innocent. "I couldn't bear it anymore, so I stabbed him in the toilet."
Li Suo said calmly: "That's a laxative."
"Laxatives are also a type of poison." Li Zhi looked at Yang Xuan, looking like he had seen his father after being bullied, "I know some medical skills, but most poisons can cause diarrhea."
Li Su's anger gradually increased, and Zhang Wen whispered: "If Yang Xuan offends Prince Zhao's house, if Alang comes back and says something to His Majesty, he will be able to walk away without food."
Li Suo nodded.
The clan seems powerless, but everyone has overlooked one thing.
They are the group of people closest to the emperor.
They are also the most loyal to the royal family.
It can even influence the choice of emperor.
Therefore, emperors have always been wary of the clan, but at the same time they have also used the clan to compete with foreign ministers.
It turned out that because the clan was too powerful, Li Mi introduced a family with four surnames to check and balance them.
Now that the clan's situation was not good, Li Mi reached out to give them a hand again.
In a word, you are all athletes, and I am the referee. I can make any decision I want.
With the emperor as a black whistle, life is not easy for both parties.
Li Su whispered: "Mr. Zhou!"
Yang Xuan is the son-in-law of the Zhou family, and this identity is his armor.
So after someone marries a noble girl, they hold their head high and say that I just like her and have nothing to do with her family.
But when you go out and meet a friend, and the other person hears that you are the son-in-law of a certain family, their attitude suddenly changes.
Subtly, you took advantage of my father-in-law.
While I despised eating soft rice, I was enjoying eating it at the same time.
Does this soft rice taste delicious?
Zhang Wen whispered: "Yang's search for a son-in-law was ruined by Li Zhi. Does Zhou still dare to protect him?"
Yang is the head of the family of four surnames.
Zhou is just a younger brother!
Therefore, Zhou's son-in-law should naturally bow his head.
Yang Xuan coughed dryly, "This is Chenzhou."
Everyone nodded.
"I am the governor of Chenzhou."
"I took this case."
Li Zhi looked at his brother and showed a cute smile, "Brother, how is this Commander Yang?"
Li Han's leg was still bleeding, but he remained silent.
"Brother."
"You live."
"What's the meaning?"
This is the boundary of Chenzhou. As a parent official, Yang Xuan has the power to handle this pursuit.
Zhang Wen said calmly: "The Zhao family has a good impression of the Zhou family."
I don’t see that my father-in-law’s friendship is still quite broad!
Li Suo opened his mouth and then shut up.
Li Zhi suddenly remembered something, "He pursued Assistant Coach Zhou!"
"I never abandon official duties for personal reasons." Yang Shijun said with a straight face.
"You poisoned me!"
"That's just a laxative."
Yang Xuan ignored him and looked at Li Zhi, "You do it."
"Yes." Li Zhi heard some clues.
Yang Shijun said: "One drink and one peck, this is fate! Let's break up!"
Li Suo said coldly: "Mr. Yang are you sure you want to be the enemy of Prince Zhao's Mansion?"
Yang Xuan frowned, "I said, can you just move out of your house? Why do I think you want King Zhao to go to the palace to slander you?"
The old thief added: "Other than slander, they can't do anything."
Wang Laoer probably awakened his philosopher nature today and sighed, "Let's do it!"
Li Suo glanced at Zhang Wen.
If you can't reach an agreement, then take action.
Zhang Wen took a deep breath, flashed his figure, and ran straight to Li Zhi beside Li Han.
hehe!
Yang Xuan smiled and said: "Do you think I am a dead person?"
Tu Shang glanced at him.
Yang Xuan smiled dryly, "Tu Gong, please stretch your muscles and bones."
"Help me!"
Li Zhi screamed, and he couldn't help but feel startled when he saw the look of gloating on his brother's face.
Just when Zhang Wen was about to catch Li Zhi, a spear suddenly appeared in front of him.
Boom!
Zhang Wen flew back, landed on the ground, and took a few steps back. His face turned red and then turned pale.
Tu Chang said calmly: "It's okay to hold back anything, just don't hold back the blood."
Zhang Wen said, "Pfft!"
A mouthful of blood spurted out.
Immediately, the restless inner breath in the body gradually subsided.
Li Suo smiled and said: "Thank you very much, Ambassador Yang, for your hospitality. The Zhao Palace will remember it in my heart."
Our relationship is now broken, please be more careful in the future!
Yang Xuan smiled and said, "Want to receive me in Chang'an?"
Li Suo smiled and said: "Of course we should reciprocate."
"It seems that you are not satisfied with Yang's hospitality." Yang Xuan said: "How about adding more?"
"Let's go!" Looking at the hundreds of foreign guards behind Yang Xuan, Zhang Wen grabbed the unwilling Li Suo, turned around and left.
Watching Li Suo and others go away, Li Zhi stepped forward and saluted.
"Thank you so much, Commander Yang." Li Zhi said sincerely, "I don't know why, but when I saw Commander Yang, I immediately thought of my brother. It seems that this is the fate of my previous life. How about I call Commander Yang my brother from now on?"
Yang Xuan nodded.
Li Zhi saluted, "I've met my brother."
"The eldest brother is the father, isn't it true?"
