Chapter 1263 Negotiations Broke Down
The atmosphere was already very lively even before the guests and hosts started chatting.
The room was filled with smoke and dust, the host and guest choked and coughed on each other, and after coughing for a long time until the smoke and dust dissipated, the two regained their strength.
Gu En, whose face was red from coughing, pointed at Li Qinzai's clothes and hesitated to speak.
Li Qinzai pretended not to see it and had no intention of changing his clothes.
We don't know each other very well, and he doesn't know the purpose of Gu En's visit. If the other party came to Xingshi to inquire about crimes, should I change into new clothes and accept his indictments?Cheap or not.
"Haha, Brother Gu, forgive me, I'm in a great mood today, and I rolled in the mud on a whim to express my feelings, so it's impolite." Li Qinzai said haha, looking up to the sky.
Gu En's face was ugly, and he tried his best to twitch the corners of his mouth, saying that Jungong Li, you are so funny, do your Li family members roll in the mud to vent their emotions when they are in a good mood?
It doesn't matter, small things, don't care.
The purpose of Gu En's visit today is to inquire about Li Qinzai's attitude towards the Shangguan family, which is the most important business.
The assassins outside the city returned in defeat, and reported to Gu En that the Li family's trilogy intercepted halfway and forced the assassins back.
Li Qinzai's sudden exit to protect Shangguan and his son was of course not good news for the eight prominent families in the south of the Yangtze River. The principals of the various prominent families in Chang'an immediately got together to discuss and judge for a long time, but still no results.
The only thing that can be found out is that Shangguan Tingzhi's son, Shangguan Kun'er, is Li Qinzai's disciple.
But what was incredible to the heads of the prominent families was that even the emperor chose to punish the Shangguan family as a sign of compromise with the prominent families in the south of the Yangtze River, knowing that this matter was so dangerous.
How dare Li Qinzai dare to step into this muddy water for an existence that the emperor can't afford to provoke?
Although the teacher-student relationship is as close as a father and son, but in the face of the powerful power of the Jiangnan family, this teacher-student relationship is too fragile. In the face of life and death threats, even close relatives can be thrown away. For a disciple, Li Qinzai dared to fight against the eight Jiangnan families ?
So Gu En came to the door in person today to test Li Qinzai's attitude.
If Li Qinzai could realize the strength of the major families in the south of the Yangtze River, choose to return from the wrong path, and no longer protect the Shangguan father and son, then this matter would be over. After all, the two sides had not yet had any actual conflict.
If Li Qinzai was determined to protect Shangguan and his son, then there would be a feud.
Today's world is a pattern where the emperor and the powerful elite rule the world together.
What about the British public and the Liaodong County public?Behind Gu En is the entire family in Jiangnan and Huainan. Without them, Datang will lose control of Jiangnan and Huainan.
That's right, the eight prominent families in the south of the Yangtze River are so powerful, which is why Li Zhi had to choose to punish the Shangguan father and son in order to appease the famous families in the south of the Yangtze River, because they really can't be provoked.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Gu En gradually got to the point.
"Yesterday, Shangguan Tingzhi impeached a prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River and committed several crimes. He tried to use this as a promotion. Fortunately, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty saw through the ambitions of Shangguan's thieves and exiled Shangguan and his son for thousands of miles. Has Duke Li ever heard of this?" Say?" Gu En asked with a smile.
Li Qinzai also laughed and said, "I heard that the Eight Great Families in the South of the Yangtze River are so powerful!"
Gu En's expression froze, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether Li Qinzai's words were mocking or sincere praise.
Forget it, just take it as a good word.
After pondering for a moment, Gu En continued: "Today Shangguan and his son left the capital for exile, and I heard that Li's trilogy was escorted all the way. I wonder if there is such a thing?"
Li Qinzai said frankly: "Yes, I sent them. The Li family will send Shangguan and his son all the way to Qiongzhou. After arriving in Qiongzhou, they will stay there and wait until the father and son receive the emperor's pardon and return to Beijing."
Gu En's eyes suddenly became dark, and he said in a deep voice: "As far as I know, Jungong Li and Shangguan's family have a very close relationship, why do you have to protect this father and son?"
The smile on Li Qinzai's face gradually disappeared, and his brows frowned: "Brother Gu, are you asking for a crime?"
Gu En said hurriedly: "I don't dare. It's just that Shangguan's thieves maliciously framed our Jiangnan noble family and ruined the reputation of our eight major families. This hatred has become irreconcilable. If we don't get rid of this father and son, it will be difficult to quell the overwhelming anger of our eight major families."
Li Qinzai said indifferently: "You talk about the Eight Great Families inside and out, but you actually want to use the power of your famous families to suppress me, right?"
Gu Enran smiled and said: "Jun Li is overly worried. I have no intention of doing so. The reason why I am here today is not for myself, but because I, the eight prominent families in the south of the Yangtze River, recommended me here. I want to ask for a promise from Duke Li."
"What promise?"
Gu En was silent for a while, then slowly said: "Please promise, Mr. Li, that you will no longer get involved in the grievances between the famous families in the south of the Yangtze River and the Shangguan father and son, and withdraw the escorting of the Shangguan father and son."
"If Duke Li agrees, our eight noble families are willing to offer generous gifts to express our gratitude. We will also remember Duke Li's kindness. In the future, in the court or other places, our eight noble families are willing to help each other with Duke Li."
Li Qinzai smiled: "As expected of a prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River, they are really domineering. It scares me so much that I can't wait to bow down..."
Then Li Qinzai said with a smile that was not a smile: "I am a teacher and a student with the dogs of the Shangguan family, and we are related to each other in terms of relationship, but I have never had any contact with you eight prominent families. Why should I listen to you? You killed Shangguan father and son?"
Gu En held back his breath and said, "This is the common request of the eight prominent families in the south of the Yangtze River!"
Li Qinzai nodded: "I heard it. They say it's a request, but in fact they are using their power to suppress me. Jiangnan's famous families are so powerful in the local area. Even the emperor must give you some face. The emperor gives you face, and I, a county prince, naturally have to give you even more face. , otherwise you don’t know how to praise.”
Gu En heard the sarcasm in Li Qinzai's words. At this moment, he gradually realized that Li Qinzai was afraid that he would not compromise today, so his face became more and more gloomy.
Li Qinzai looked at him, and suddenly smiled: "Before Brother Gu came to the door, did you ask about my personality?"
Gu En was taken aback for a moment, stroked his beard and pondered.
Li Qinzai went on to laugh and said, "I'm actually quite easy to talk to. If you tell me well, be more polite and sincere, and don't use power to force me. Maybe I will agree as soon as I close my eyes and stomp my feet." What about you..."
Then Li Qinzai sighed, and said: "And you open your mouth to be the Eight Great Families, so what, what I have to do, it makes me feel more and more angry..."
Immediately, Li Qinzai's face darkened, and he suddenly said angrily, "Am I a servant of your family? I will do whatever you say. The powerful family is so powerful, how dare you rebel and break into Chang'an!"
Gu En was startled, got up and was about to speak, but was stopped by Li Qinzai with a wave.
"I will not give up the face of the eight famous families in the south of the Yangtze River today! I will guarantee the lives of Shangguan and his son. Whoever dares to reach out to them on the road, I will chop off his paw!"
Gu En's face was livid, his eyelids were twitching, his nostrils were wide open and he was panting heavily. After a long time, Gu En suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed.
"Okay, Jungong Li is so courageous and courageous, I have learned from you."
"A gentleman breaks friendship and doesn't speak harsh words. Since we can't agree, I will leave."
After finishing speaking, Gu En stood up, bowed to Li Qinzai without losing his manner, then turned around and walked away with a flick of his sleeves.
