Chen Ying frowned and remained silent.

Standing at Chen Ying's height, he needs to consider the problem from a holistic perspective.In fact, the Tang and Jin dynasties were established with the help of aristocratic clans and clans. However, Li Tang and Sima Jin adopted completely different methods. The aristocratic clan indulged in every possible way, and as a result, the Western Jin Dynasty ended in just over thirty years.

Since Li Yuan, Li Tang began to gradually take back the privileges and generous salary of the aristocratic family. It was not until Wu Zetian appointed cruel officials and killed the Quartet that the aristocrats quietly withdrew from the stage of history.

Hou Mochen's family was suppressed by Northern Zhou and Yang Guang, and their strength was not as good as before.Accepting this new identity, Chen Ying really didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse.

Seeing Chen Ying's silence, Hou Mo Chenqian would naturally understand Chen Ying's worries and worries. He sighed slowly, walked to the main seat in front of the hall and sat down, looked at Chen Ying and said, "Hou Mo Chen's So far, the powerful children have been comfortable for too long, and have lost their blood. The bloody children have been tortured one after another, and they have no power. The Hou Mochen family is no longer the Hou Mochen family I am familiar with."

Chen Ying frowned, looked at Hou Mo and Chen Qianhui thought for a while and said, "I was caught off guard by this news..."

Hou Mo Chenqian is an old man, so he couldn't see through Chen Ying's concerns, so he couldn't help reminding: "You have Hou Mo Chen's blood on your body, no matter how time passes, this cannot be erased. Hou Mochen's children are withered, and the heavy responsibility of revitalizing Hou Mochen's family falls on you."

Chen Ying sighed, and the worry in his eyes became more intense.

……

Li Daozhen seldom took the initiative to dress up in the past. She liked to disguise herself as a man, and she preferred to wield knives and guns, but recently, she would take the initiative to let her maids buy rouge and gouache, and also buy silk and satin, and weave new clothes.

Li Daozhenguang spent half a day dressing up. After dressing up, she carefully picked up the needle and thread, and worked with the maid to weave new clothes. The red brocade was painted on it by the ingenious maid. Li Daozhen asked about Chen Ying's situation while embroidering.

As soon as the maid opened the chatterbox, she couldn't hold back her mouth. She talked endlessly about Chen Ying being tricked by Li Yuan, becoming a victim, and spending 50 yuan to build a road.The maid gloated a little, and said it with joy, as if she had seen it herself.

Li Daozhen was a little surprised, the treasury of the Tang Dynasty was not very rich, but Chen Ying also made great contributions to the country, how could he be forced to ruin his family?Thinking of this, Li Daozhen's hands trembled, and he screamed.

At this moment, Li Daoxing pushed the door open, saw Li Daoxing's fingers were bleeding, and said angrily: "Sister, don't waste your time, do you want to make a wedding dress for someone else?"

Upon hearing Li Daoxing's words, Li Daozhen was stunned.The blood on the fingers dripped onto the bright red brocade, and disappeared in an instant.

Li Daozhen's face sank: "What do you mean?"

Li Daoxing sat down next to Li Daozhen, picked up the brocade cloak and sighed with pity: "My silly sister, you are the only one who is kept in the dark, who doesn't know about this whole Chang'an, the Duke of Pengcheng's favorite is Princess Pingyang... ..."

Before Li Daoxing finished speaking, Li Daozhen threw down the brocade and pushed the door out. Li Daozhen turned around suddenly, came to the bedroom, took off the Modao, and with the Modao in her hand, she felt a sense of security.

Chapter 38 A Difficult Family

Bright candles were shining brightly, illuminating Chen Ying's front hall brightly and darkly, with light and shadow floating.Under the illumination of the candlelight, the age spots on Hou Mo Chen Qianhui's face became more and more obvious.Hou Mo Chen Qianhui

The faces of Hou Mo, Chen Qianhui and Chen Ying in the hall were not very good.The two were thinking about their own minds.

Hou Mo Chen Qianhui's mind is actually very heavy. As the head of the family, the five sons of his uncle Hou Mo Chen Rui died one after another, and there are no descendants left.Only Chen Ying was left. If Chen Ying was unwilling to recognize his ancestor and return to his clan, then the Hou Mo Chen clan would almost die.Originally, Hou Mo and Chen Qian would have two sons, but one of his sons died in the Battle of Sashui in Goguryeo, and the other died in Lingnan. Sending a white-haired man to a black-haired man is the greatest tragedy in the world, but Hou Even if Mo Chenqian is in good health, he will not be able to give birth to a son now.

If there is no Chen Ying, Hou Mo and the Chen family will lose their heirs.

Chen Ying's concerns are actually very simple. He knows that the clan has strict rules, and he is afraid that if there are some elders on his head, if they tell him what to do, he doesn't have to do anything. Let's stage the Three Kingdoms Killing in the family every day.

In fact, the clan is the same as the country, and the choice of heirs has also gone through bloody struggles, which cannot be resolved by simply establishing a heir.If Chen Ying also accepted the sect and returned to the sect, it would be tantamount to accepting Hou Mo's Chen Qianhui and digging a big hole for him.

Aristocratic families have privileges, not only tax exemption, but also exemption from corvee. Relying on the privilege of tax exemption and exemption from labor, they can quickly accumulate wealth.

At the beginning of the founding of the country, there were fewer families, less land owned, and a large number of self-cultivating farmers paid taxes.There will be no financial crisis in the imperial court. However, after a long period of peace, the family members will use their power to accumulate more and more land under their names. Robbery, or plunder, turned more and more self-cultivating farmers into refugees, tenants, and shade households.

Pass on the taxes and labor that should have been paid by them to the people who have no power.When those common people couldn't afford the taxes and went bankrupt and had to sell their land, these registered households Qimin who originally belonged to the imperial court and should provide taxes for the imperial court became the part of a powerful family, which was equivalent to cutting off the flesh on their thighs to subsidize their arms .The rapid increase in the wealth of the family and the bankruptcy of the registered household Qimin are basically synchronous.People who do this are sick.The world is like this, isn't it also a disease?

In fact, the relationship between the imperial court and the powerful branches is interdependent.Whenever the imperial court wanted to weaken the clans and clans, the clans and clans would also rebel. This was the real reason for the demise of the Sui Dynasty.

Even though the Hou Mo Chen Clan has declined, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and the resources that the Hou Mo Chen Clan has can still exceed Chen Ying's imagination.

At this moment, Hou Mo Chen Qian would suddenly say: "Wu Lang, do you know who is the person I admire most in this world?"

"I don't know either!" Chen Ying is not the roundworm in Hou Mo Chen Qianhui's stomach, how could he guess what he was thinking.

Hou Mo and Chen Qian said: "The person I admire most is Emperor Wu of Wei!"

"Cao Cao?"

Hou Mo and Chen Qian would say: "No!"

"It's not Cao Cao, who is Emperor Wu of Wei?" Naturally, Chen Ying knew that there were many dynasties with Wei as their country name in history, but they were all small courts in a peaceful corner.Apart from Cao Cao, Chen Ying really couldn't think of anyone who still had the posthumous title of Emperor Wu of Wei.

Seeing Chen Ying's puzzled eyes, Hou Mo and Chen Qian said: "In the period when the north and the south stood side by side, Ran Min, the emperor of the Kingdom of Wei. Although Ran Wei's establishment of the country was short, Ran Min was the person I admired the most, followed by Ran Min's father, Wei Wei. The great ancestor Ran Zhan. When Wei Guoyuan Emperor Ran Long died, Ran Zhan was only 12 years old. Ran Zhan led the Ran’s begging army to seek refuge in Shile. Min Shi was only eight years old..."

Chen Ying was quite speechless.He naturally knew what Hou Mo and Chen Qian would think, but he really didn't want to agree.

Seeing that Chen Ying still did not express his opinion, Hou Mo Chenqian said: "I know this news, Wu Lang, you will find it difficult to accept it for a while, but you have to remember that you have Hou Mo Chen's blood on your body..."

After finishing speaking, Hou Mo and Chen Qian would step up and leave.However, at this moment, there was a commotion at the door.When Chen Ying heard that it was Li Daozhen's voice, his face changed slightly.

Although Li Daozhen is good at skills, but she is only a woman, Hou Mo Chenqian will stay at the door, he is not a weak chicken, once a fight starts, it is not good to hurt anyone.

Chen Ying rushed to the door, and Yu Qing followed Chen Ying after getting the permission of Hou Mo Chen Qianhui.

When Chen Ying came to the door, in fact the battle had already begun.

The Mo Dao in Li Daozhen's hand was much heavier than ordinary knives. Of course, because of its weight, the lethality was even more frightening.Li Daozhen held the Mo Dao in both hands, the blade was shining, and he slashed at a subordinate.

However, at this moment, the sixteen saber-wielding subordinates on the right moved in unison. Four of them blocked with their sabers when they came out, four of them circled behind Li Daozhen, ready to attack, and four of them respectively unleashed their sabers like the wind, attacking directly. Li Daozhen's vital point.

Li Daozhen is also bold and skilled, and turned a blind eye to the attacks from the front, side and rear. The Mo Dao in his hand suddenly turned into a ball of dazzling white light.

The horizontal knives in the hands of the four servants snapped at the sound, but the Mo Dao in Li Daozhen's hand remained undiminished. Those servants had to dodge subconsciously, and the originally prepared offensive was also endured.

All the followers broke out in a cold sweat, Li Daozhen missed the blow, but was furious.Raising the Mo Dao in her hand again, she spun 360 rounds, and saw the Mo Dao draw a white light. With the ear-piercing golden sound, it crackled and fell to the ground.

"stop!"

Li Daozhen did not hurt anyone in two blows, so he was really in a hurry.Step forward and strike horizontally.

At this time, the subordinates had no weapons, and if they were swept by the Mo Dao, they would probably be destroyed as recorded in the history books.

At this moment, Yu Qing, who was standing behind Chen Ying, suddenly jumped like a big bird, and his big, bony hand grabbed the white light in Li Daozhen's hand.

Chen Ying was shocked when he saw Yu Qing's end. After all, Yu Qing was an old man in his sixties, who was killed by Li Daozhen, and he didn't even have a place to file a complaint.Chen Ying shouted anxiously: "If you have something to say, stop it, don't fight!"

A surprising scene appeared, and the white light disappeared.Yu Qing and Li Daozhen were frozen there, motionless, Yu Qing reached out and grabbed the back of Mo Dao, Li Daozhen pulled back forcefully, but Mo Dao didn't move at all.

At the same time as Yu Qing shot, the servant on the left pulled out two short spears from behind. These two short spears were made of fine steel. I don't know what mechanism was used on them, but they were actually combined together. , forming a spear about two feet long, sixteen spears pointed at Li Daozhen, Li Daozhen looked at the surrounding spears, and then at Chen Ying.

Anxious and angry, Li Daozhen threw down the Mo Dao and rushed towards Chen Ying, crying in his tone: "You all bully me!"

"The conscience of heaven and earth!" Chen Ying couldn't laugh or cry: "Who dares to bully you?"

"just you!"

When Chen Ying was in later generations, he knew a truth.Don't quarrel with women, it doesn't make sense to win or lose.

Relatively speaking, Chen Ying would rather face Li Daozhen than face Hou Mo and Chen Qianhui.
