Looking at Fang Yiai's serious expression, and hearing Fang Yiai's serious and clear words again, Fang Xuanling wanted to give the position of patriarch to the direct branch of the Fang family, Li You then faced it squarely, what Fang Yiai said before was returned.
The head of the direct branch of the Fang clan was not a slip of the tongue.
The clan to which one surname and one family belongs is the basic structural system of Tang Dynasty society and a supporting framework of society.
The patriarch of a clan can not only make decisions on major and minor matters in the clan, but can also influence the life and death of the clan members to a certain extent. His power is no less than that of the earth emperor.
When encountering clan leaders with wise leadership, and even local officials, they have to be somewhat cautious in their actions.
But now, Fang Yiai actually said that he would come forward to speak out and get the Fang clan elders to agree that Fang Xuanling should step down as clan leader and return the power of selecting the clan leader to the direct descendants of the Fang family who have always been a little angry. Isn't he afraid?
, aren't you afraid that when the direct descendant of the Fang family takes over the position of patriarch, he will in turn restrain the father and son?
Well, Li You forgot, Fang Yiai is now the royal consort. As long as he doesn't make any big mistakes and doesn't fall out of favor with the emperor, how can the Fang family dare to interfere in Fang Yiai's affairs easily with so little foundation accumulated by the Fang family?
What's more, thanks to Fang Yiai's good medical skills, Fang Yiai's popularity is relatively good in the circle of the royal family. Especially, he is the person who remembers the number in front of the emperor and the prince.
Fang Yiai also knows that in this era, clan plays an extremely important role for a person. It is not just a matter of identity. Only with the recognition of clan can a person gain a good foothold in the outside world.
Otherwise, when Fang Yiai had no intention of taking up the post of eldest son after Fang Yizhi, why would Fang Xuanling always think of ways to persuade Fang Yiai.
After learning about the behavior of the Fang family in his hometown and the truth that his eighth uncle vomited after drinking, Fang Yiai vaguely persuaded him to step down as the clan leader and return the responsibility of the clan leader to the direct branch of the Fang clan in his hometown. Fang Xuan
Even though I am still young, I still can't make up my mind.
Fortunately, Fang Yiai didn't dare to mention to Fang Xuanling whether their family could ask the emperor for an order to open another ancestral hall. Otherwise, Fang Xuanling would have jumped up and pointed at his nose and scolded him for being an unfilial son.
The broomstick drove him out of the house.
If a separate ancestral hall is established, only those who have suffered a lot of grievances in the clan and were forced to survive by the clansmen, and then stand out and achieve achievements that are not meritorious, will generally make a petition to the emperor. Those who can use meritorious service to exchange for another ancestral hall.
Opportunity to open an ancestral hall.
Obviously, Fang Yiai and his family cannot meet all the conditions now.
"This seems to be the Fang family's own business, and it is not convenient for me to interfere." After thinking in silence for a long time, Li You said slowly.
"Originally, I never thought of bothering His Highness Prince Qi with this kind of thing." It was not surprising that Li You would say this. Fang Yiai smiled and said, "With my military exploits this time, as long as my father agrees, I can change it."
The emperor's grace to allow my father to step down from the position of patriarch is not difficult to come by."
"Even if the state affairs are heavy and my father is in poor health, there are already ready reasons why it is inconvenient to continue to perform the duties of the patriarch." Fang Yiai continued, looking at Li You who was listening and listening. "Since it can satisfy my father's ideas,
Is it possible that my father will be at odds with the clan? A better start would be to trouble His Highness the King of Qi."
"Since it's better, why did you come to Prince Qi's Mansion?" Li You asked, following Fang Yiai's words, with confusion in his eyes as he waited for Fang Yiai's reply.
"The 'joke' in the prince's mouth. Even His Highness the King of Wei, who is the direct descendant of the Queen, may punish Hou Zhizhou." Fang Yiai said unhurriedly, "As the actual master of the actor, Your Highness the King of Wei, what do you think?
Is it possible that your punishment will be lighter than that of King Wei? Don’t forget, Concubine Yin is still under confinement, and she is under indefinite confinement until the emperor releases her."
"What do you mean?!" Li You's face darkened, he clenched the tea cup in his hand, and looked at Fang Yiai with wide eyes and a stern expression.
"The prince may not regard His Highness as a blood brother, but the prince still remembers you, Prince Qi, as his younger brother." Fang Yiai said, "For the sake of brotherhood, the prince cannot bear to bear the heavy responsibility of the prince, so let me find him.
The prince came forward and asked the clan elders to agree that my father would step down from the position of clan leader. Accordingly, I will try my best to use my military achievements during this trip to seek to preserve the prince’s title in front of the emperor and return to Qi as safe and sound as possible."
Li You sat stiffly on the chair, looking at the brilliant scenery outside the flower hall under the bright sun with slightly drooped eyelids. His heart was beating uncontrollably, but behind him, he was already covered in cold sweat.
, you can clearly feel that the layer of satin lining has stuck to the back, which is very uncomfortable.
Yes, he saved Xueyantuo's princess, and also saved Xueyantuo Khan. He also convinced Xueyantuo's neutral and powerful faction Arzan. With the help of Arzan's troops, he suppressed Xichenluo, who had turned to Manganzi for kidnapping.
He unintentionally destroyed the poison that the captive woman had carefully developed for use on the battlefield, and indirectly saved the lives of countless men of the Tang Dynasty. Such a feat, even if it does not rank first among the Western Expeditionary Army, is definitely still
Come forward!
Using such military exploits in exchange for Fang Xuanling resigning as the head of the Fang clan would not only leave a lot of property to the treasury, but also save the emperor the headache of how to bestow favors on him, and also solve the emperor's possible headache of dealing with him well.
The Emperor would naturally happily agree to such a simple matter, as the Fang family took care of Fang Xuanling and his son's troubles.
As long as there is an imperial edict and the previous reasons mentioned by Fang Yiai, even if the Fang family is dissatisfied, they will not dare to find fault.
As for letting Fang Yiai take over the responsibilities of the clan leader, if the imperial edict stated that the power should be attributed to the direct branch of the Fang family, how could Fang Yiai, who was known as loyal, filial, and good, do things that violated the emperor's orders and his father's orders?
But if it was said that Fang Yiai wanted to come forward because of the prince, Li You still felt a little unsure.
He said it was a joke, but everyone knew whether it was a joke or not. Li You didn't believe that Li Chengqian would really be so pregnant and care about the so-called blood and family ties, so he specially asked Fang Yiai to come.
Protect yourself a way out.
Will Li Chengqian really care that they are brothers? Li Youke still remembers that the reason why he was kicked out of Jingchengzhou early was because he teased Xiaojiu and Li Zhi. Li Chengqian saw it and beat him severely.
What happened after a meal.
This is why for many years, when he was at Qidi Mansion, he either practiced martial arts to strengthen his body or practiced horseback riding skills through hunting, in order to one day be able to fight back the two brothers Li Chengqian and Li Zhi.
But if it weren't for Li Chengqian, Li You really couldn't find a reasonable reason why Fang Yiai came here to ask him to come forward to speak out.
If Fang Yiai was really ordered to come by Li Chengqian, Li You would really feel a little embarrassed about using an actor to deal with Li Chengqian.
Yes, I'm just embarrassed, and don't feel any regret or self-blame.
If his desire to fight for the throne had not been stirred up by Concubine Yin, he might have regretted it, but since it was to fight for the throne, he had already used all the tricks. In his eyes, there was only victory or defeat, not victory.
Regret or not.
"Brother Crown Prince, would you be so kind?" Li You said with a somewhat relaxed tone, and his eyes looking at Fang Yiai were softer than before.
"I'm afraid that the prince is judging people's hearts based on his own feelings." Fang Yiai looked at Li You with a half-smile and said, "The prince doesn't believe it. It just so happens that I don't want to cause trouble."
After saying that, Fang Yiai stood up, cupped her hands towards Li You, and said, "In this case, the prince will just wait for the emperor's decision. I should also go home to discuss the matter with my father. I'll say goodbye without seeing you off."
Sleeves, Fang Yiai was about to go out with a relaxed look.
Fang Yiai's brisk steps and unhesitating figure removed some of the doubts in Li You's heart.
Although he didn't believe what Fang Yi said in his words that Li Chengqian, who had a younger brother from the same mother, would regard him as a younger brother and care about the so-called brotherhood between them, he was basically sure that he should still have some affection for Li Chengqian.
Otherwise, he would not waste Fang Yiai's military exploits like this.
And all Li You could think of was that Li Chengqian planned to use Fang Yiai's military exploits to reduce his own punishment, so as to attack Li Tai.
As long as there is trouble between their brothers, and Li Tai's desire to compete for the throne wins, they may not follow the same path as their father and have another Xuanwu Gate incident. When the time comes, they will watch the fire from the other side.
, there may not be any chance.
"Fang Yiai, stay here!" Just when Fang Yiai stepped out of the flower hall, Li You called out to stop Fang Yiai.
"I wonder if the prince has anything else to say?" After both feet stepped out of the flower hall, Fang Yiai turned to look at Li You. She had no intention of entering the flower hall again and made it clear that she didn't want to talk more.
"Has lunch been prepared?" Li You came to Fang Yiai and stood opposite Fang Yiai at the door of the flower hall a mile away. He waved to the servants who were waiting not far away.
"Your Majesty, it's basically ready. I'm about to ask your Majesty for instructions on whether to serve the meal in the flower hall or not?" the servant ran over and answered cleverly.
"Well, tell the kitchen to set up food in the flower hall, and invite the three elders of the Fang family who are waiting in the living room." After giving instructions to his servants, Li You kindly stretched out his hand to hold Fang Yiai's hand, then turned around and walked into the flower hall.
"It just so happens that you, the three elders of the Fang family in the capital are also visiting the house today. If your consort doesn't mind, how about the three of them finalize the matter here now?" She pushed Fang Yiai back to the chair before,
Li You asked with a good attitude.
Can his attitude be bad? If Fang Yiai really throws away his sleeves and leaves, then, if it is really like what Fang Yiai said before, and the emperor is responsible for him, with his mother and concubine being grounded, the huge
How many people in the capital would be willing to come forward to intercede for themselves?
(I'm sorry, I took a nap after eating yesterday, and overdid it. Forgive those who have a cold.)
