Chapter 1009 Honorable Position

'I'm afraid it has something to do with the state boundaries back then...'

When Li Ximing became the Purple Mansion, it was Zhang Gui and Wang Long who came to the lake. It was recorded in the most noble Zijin Book in his hand that they were "envoys from two states and five directions".

‘Zhang Gui and Wang Long must be Yang Pan’s people. ’

There were doubts about this matter in the early days, but it gradually became clear. After all, when Li Ximing achieved success, Qingchi had already declined rapidly, and the Yang family knew that the Taiyang Tradition was bound to decline. Once the Li family acted unscrupulously, it would most likely harm the Yang family's interests.

And Yang Pan asked these two envoys from the five parties to come and reveal the news that the Yang family had a Zifu, firstly to stabilize the relationship between the two families, and secondly to prevent possible conflicts in the future.

Apart from this matter, the Li family has collected a lot of information over the past century in Jiangnan, and there is another name tied to this Yang Jinxin.

Zhejiang Southern Division.

According to rumors, Yang Pan is the master of Zhenan Division, and he is also in charge of dealing with the phenomena and metal properties of many purple mansions in the south of the Yangtze River. In the words of the rumors, he is the master of magical powers [gold matters] '.

‘I don’t know what the position of the division-level forces... in the Yin Division is, and what kind of elements they serve. But one thing is clear, this must be a position with real power, and Jiangnan is just someone else’s thing. ’

In any case, the Yang family in front of them is by no means a simple force, let alone a [weak force].

"A noble descendant of the emperor, the first in the south of the Yangtze River, he is beyond the reach of the right and left, and now he has something to seek truth... Taoist friend is too modest..."

Yang Ruiyi laughed and said seriously:

"The title of Imperial Descendant is too high, and there are not many people who can claim to be Imperial Descendants in front of fellow Taoists."

These are his sincere words. No matter what Li Zhouwei's current situation is, as long as he is given time, he will definitely become the world's first-class magical power, with Qilin blood flowing in his body. Unless Emperor Zhao Zhaowu is resurrected, Zhao Tianzi, his father's family in the Zhao palace, is blessed. , it is possible to claim the title of emperor in front of Li Zhouwei.

After the two of them cheered, the old man sitting quietly by the window had disappeared. Both Yang Ruiyi and Li Zhouwei breathed a deep sigh of relief, and the tense and stiff atmosphere immediately relaxed.

Li Zhouwei raised his eyebrows and took the opportunity to say thoughtfully:

"I heard... that the gentleman behind fellow Taoist is a figure from [Zhenan Division]? I wonder what kind of immortal division he is."

Yang Ruiyi's thoughts have obviously been on the old man. Even though Yang Ruiyi is occupying the home court, he is more nervous than Li Zhouwei, for fear of saying the wrong thing. As soon as the old man leaves, he seems to come to life and his tone becomes relaxed. He leans against the Lord. Bit, smiled and said:

"My lord's official position is not here, but in the palace. Officials in the palace often have officials but no commissions. He is also in charge of this department as a commission, so the world has a name for him."

He raised his chin and said casually:

"After all, the palace is in the Netherworld, and those titles are usually not used."

Li Zhouwei had a deep memory of the terrifying appearance of the old man's true form just now, but he just didn't dare to recall it specifically. He just nodded to indicate, but Yang Ruiyi didn't say more and said perfunctorily:

"The [Southern Zhejiang Division] has a long history. It was responsible for this area in the past. Nowadays, the disciplines have been slackened and the various divisions are not visible. Many things have been streamlined and placed under the [Southern Zhejiang Division]. Be it the [Beijiang Division] or [Lingjian Division]. ], the power is not as good as [Southern Zhejiang Division]..."

Li Zhouwei saw that he didn't mean what he said and felt wary, so he casually said:

"He really is a big shot in the Netherworld!"

Yang Ruiyi smiled and immediately changed the topic:

"Bai Lin came here to express his gratitude. I won't say too many polite words. The adults think highly of fellow Taoist and say that he is the most important assistant in our country. The nobles also have a certain amount of progress and retreat, so they are quite popular... Come today, the most important thing is Just discuss this matter.”

Li Zhouwei looked at him quietly, and Yang Ruiyi sighed:

"If fellow Taoist, for the sake of You Ming, you are willing to help our court... Yang will make up for it!"

Li Zhouwei took a sip of tea and already had the answer in his mind, so he asked:

"Promise?"

Yang Ruiyi was silent for a while.

This is not a simple matter. For the Chen family and the neighboring Gu family, it is inevitable to bow to the Yang family, and they are not qualified to discuss it here. The Li family is not much better. The compensation mentioned by Yang Ruiyi is On Li Zhouwei.

Li Zhouwei's practice in Mingyang is not a lowly Taoist tradition. Ordinary people are better off. However, as a beloved person of Mingyang, Li Zhouwei has an extraordinary destiny. Since his birth, the Li family has not called him by his name, but has addressed him as the prince. Kneeling down was to fulfill his destiny.

Now he has the intention to strive for the fruition status. Once he treats others with courtesy, it seems that nothing happens, but it will definitely affect his ambition to achieve the fruition status in the end!

'Li Zhouwei is the son of Mingyang after all. Even if he endures humiliation when he is in a humble position, he must still have ambitions in his heart. Taking advantage of the situation in the world, he must hit the fruition position. ’

Breaking up people's orthodoxy is often a blood feud between the two sides, and it is also extremely hateful to hinder others from seeking money and stumbling blocks in others' pursuit of success. How could Yang Ruiyi not be cautious?

‘What’s more, my family will benefit from this. ’

Yang Zhuo is on the same page. Li Zhouwei has a special status and destiny. If you bow to him, it will not only be of great benefit to the new dynasty established by the Yang family, but also improve Yang Zhao's destiny!

It was Yang Ruiyi who knew these concerns and observed his expression, but Li Zhouwei said nothing, staring at him with those golden eyes, as if waiting for his next words.

Yang Ruiyi looked at him briefly, without waiting, smiled and explained:

"Don't worry, Bai Lin. We support you in your bid for the position of the True Lord. This matter is not that serious... We must sort out the impact to the minimum."

"After all... the governance of the new dynasty is not harsh. The Chen family and the neighboring Gu family are both vassal states that have surrendered. They are given the title of king and retain the various places in the county as fiefdoms. Although they have to obey orders, the fiefdoms can be left to self-government. The Li family... is even more relaxed."

He smiled:

"I will definitely do my best to fulfill the status and satisfy Bai Lin!"

Li Zhouwei was not surprised, or it should be said that neither the Yang family nor the Li family was surprised. There was no room for negotiation on this matter. The involvement of three generations of Li family members, Li Xizhi, Li Zhouluo, and Li Jiangliang, was a hint.

'The overall situation of the Yang family must have a part of the Li family. The vague protection and help to the predecessors in the past were the idle sons of the Yang family, but they all came with a price. Whether it is equal or not, whether the Li family is willing or not, it is time to fulfill it. ’

His words clearly showed that from another perspective, the netherworld also held a similar position to Luoxia on Li Qianyuan’s side—the dead, or at least half-dead Li Qianyuan was what the netherworld wanted to see, so there was the matter of ‘full support’.

‘Therefore, Luoxia never cared. After all, the Li family was in the netherworld’s territory. Even if Luoxia did not take action, the netherworld would naturally watch... and would not rush to break my fate... but would rather help me. ’

‘The attitude of the world’s top power, this last corner, was also filled in. This Mingyang monarch... let Luoxia and the netherworld work together, and the dragon was half-hearted...’

When Qing Yu invited Li Zhouwei into the mountains, he personally explained the Wei-Li matter, and said that Li Qianyuan and Wucheng’s Taoism had irreconcilable conflicts... Today, it seems that Wucheng is simply too conservative! I'm afraid the remaining ones are not irreconcilable, but they can't stand him...

Li Zhouwei's golden eyes stared at him quietly, and said softly:

"Li has received the kindness of Senior Tian Ya, so we should do our best."

Yang Ruiyi smiled slightly and replied:

"There is one more thing... to discuss the matter of [Great Good Golden Lotus]."

"[Great Good Golden Lotus]..."

Li Zhouwei raised his eyebrows and asked:

"Master Yang has already fought back to the Spring House, right? Is there any reason that it can't be solved?"

Yang Ruiyi's face swept a trace of helplessness, and replied:

"[Great Good Golden Lotus] itself is not a troublesome matter. The trouble is the cultivators and people affected by [Great Good Golden Lotus]. The number is incalculable and spread all over Lixia Spring House. If [Great Good Golden Lotus] is broken, I'm afraid there will be millions of corpses."

Li Zhouwei didn't say anything in his heart, but just pretended to be enlightened, nodded slightly, and listened to him shaking his head and said:

"Fortunately, Master is born sacred after all, and his hands are There is still a miracle. The most gentle and convenient method at the moment is to lock up the [Great Good Golden Lotus] and remove its influence. It will disappear in eight or ten years. "

"These [Great Good Golden Lotus] are all under our surveillance, except... there are two in the wilderness, which are difficult to deal with."

Li Zhouwei immediately understood that Yang Ruiyi was talking about the [Great Good Golden Lotus], but in fact it was the delivery and division of the wilderness, so he put down the cup and asked:

"What do the nobles think?"

Yang Ruiyi only said:

"My master's idea... The wilderness will be left in our hands first, and when things are arranged properly, it will be handed over to the nobles in another way."

The loss of manpower in the wilderness is actually much less than expected, but the [Great Good Golden Lotus] has already poisoned all directions, and it is something that was dropped by Shi Tu, which is not easy to deal with. If the Li family holds it in their hands, they really have no means to deal with it for a while, and handing it over to the Yang family will save a lot of trouble.

‘The so-called other way is either enfeoffment or reward…’

Li Zhouwei nodded and replied:

“Thank you for your help, nobles.”

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Yang Ruiyi then smiled and said:

“That’s fine. I should thank you for your trust.”

After talking about everything, Li Zhouwei finally said solemnly:

“There are two more members of my family… One is my cousin Li Zhouluo, who was rewarded by the adults, and the other is my elder Li Yuanqin, who is practicing in Qingchi… I wonder how the nobles will deal with them?”

Li Xuanxuan had been thinking about this for a long time. Now that Li Zhouwei had met Yang Ruiyi, he asked in detail.

Yang Ruiyi looked at him in surprise, put away his smile, and replied:

"Li Zhouluo...after all, he has the blood of the Yang family. He can be kept safe in my Yang family, and there is no need to worry about someone using any means on him to affect our family. This is good for him and for both of us."

Li Zhouwei looked at him solemnly, and Yang Ruiyi added a sentence, smiling:

"But...there is no need to go into details here. Wait until the new dynasty is established, and he will have room for choice. You and I just have to wait."

He seemed very confident and looked at Li Zhouwei quietly:

"As for Li Yuanqin...Ning will guard Yishan City and Southern Xinjiang for you. This is a reward for Ning Wan. If Li really needs him, , even if you ask Ning, I'm sure Ning Wan won't refuse. "

"Just..."

He smiled:

"I think... it's not easy to get out of the lake, it's a good thing not to go back to the lake."

Li Zhouwei looked at him thoughtfully:

'Reward... Ning Wan still has a way...'

The two of them were each for the benefit of their own family, and there was not much to talk about. Yang Ruiyi served tea and sent the guests away, smiling:

"Daoyou, wait, it's a matter of a few years. One day, the sky will be full of stars, shining continuously, day and night will be bright, it will be the founding of the country, there will be golden carriages and jade horses coming to the lake, and the honorific title will be conferred!"

After speaking, he personally stood up from the main seat, sent the golden-eyed young man out, and took a step forward and pushed the door of the pavilion open with his own hands.

"Creaky."

The warm early morning light suddenly fell into the pavilion. The stone steps were bright and cold wind blew, but there was a person waiting outside the pavilion.

The man has handsome eyebrows and sparkling golden eyes. He is wearing a long coat with cirrus patterns and a brocade robe with animal patterns. He is extremely elegant and reveals a bit of a Confucian general. He is waiting outside the pavilion.

Now as soon as the pavilion door opened, he immediately bowed down and said respectfully:

"I have met my lord... I have met... my father!"

Li Zhouwei stood in front of the pavilion, facing the bright light of the sun, with his hands behind his hands. Yang Ruiyi's laughter echoed outside the pavilion:

"The Fourth Young Master has outstanding immortal achievements. Many adults have mentioned it. It is because a tiger father has no dog son!"

Li Jiangliang prostrated himself in front of the pavilion. He did not feel any emotion because of his words, but waited carefully. Only then did he hear his father's voice:

"Fellow Taoist is so complimentary."

Li Jiangliang felt complicated in his heart. He raised his head slightly and retreated to the side. He only saw two clothes in front of him. The man in black smiled and said:

"I won't bother you anymore."

His figure disappeared in an instant, wiped clean, as if he had never appeared before, leaving only the golden-eyed young man standing quietly on the spot. Li Jiangliang raised his gaze a few inches more:

"Father."

"Walk with me."

"yes."

Li Zhouwei raised his eyebrows and walked along the corridor between the attics. Li Jiangliang followed him step by step, listening to Li Zhouwei ask:

"What affairs do you hold in the court, and what position do you hold?"

Li Jiangliang hurriedly said:

"My child is now making the new dynasty's rituals and waiting for the big things to be settled. He should take care of some people's livelihood matters."

Li Zhouwei paused, turned back and took a closer look, and said:

"You are different from my brothers. Cui Jueyin has been teaching you for more than ten years, and you have listened to it. You have not insulted my tutor."

Li Jiangliang never expected that his father would say such words. He was a little stunned for a moment. He was silent for a few breaths, and then he suddenly realized:

"Father...thank you father."

Li Zhouwei turned sideways and looked at the clouds outside the corridor. He leaned on the white stone railing and said quietly:

"That day, your eldest brother came back from Mushroom Plains. I also listened to what you said. You said you would rather die than lose a share of your family's belongings..."

Li Jiangliang was by his side, looking at his golden eyes with a complicated expression.

But his father's tone gradually softened, and he said calmly:

"Actually, you also know that it doesn't matter whether you use your family's power or not. If you are powerless one day, if you really want to do something, it will be something you can't push away. There is no need to make such a vicious oath..."

Li Jiangliang lowered his gaze and suddenly fell to the ground. Li Zhouwei's words became fainter and only echoed in his heart.

‘Following Yang, there may be more opportunities. ’
