Chapter 337 Unworthy Descendants
Li Linfu saw Li Ye's worry, and smiled slightly: "It's normal for people to get old, sick and die. I'm already 70 years old. There are only a handful of people in the Tang Dynasty who can live to 70 years old. Now I think more about my descendants. Can you seal the county?" Wang is one of the two things I am happiest this year, and the other thing is that I am retiring safely, and I want to buy wine to celebrate, Yeer, you have to have a good drink with grandfather."

As he said that, Li Linfu took out a jug of wine and two cups from the cabinet, Li Ye was ashamed, he thought his grandfather was going to have a big banquet for guests!Li Ye happily said: "Grandson will drink two cups with grandfather!"

Li Ye filled a glass of wine for his grandfather and said, "Grandson's first glass of wine wishes grandfather health and longevity, and live to be a hundred years old!"

Li Linfu laughed, "It's fine if you have the heart."

Li Ye filled his grandfather with wine again, and Li Linfu held up the wine cup and sighed: "The Tang Dynasty has been established for a hundred years, the clan has spent more and more leaves, the direct line has increased from the Eight Kings' House to the Baisun Yuan, and the number of collateral lines is even larger, you may not know, In Yongxingfang and Anxingfang, there are a large number of collateral royal families of the Li family, and they are no different from ordinary people, receiving a little money every month, living a tight life, and disappearing from ordinary people!"

Li Ye nodded. He understood this very well. Most of Li Linfu's descendants are no different from ordinary people!Isn't Li Xun's family the best example?
Li Linfu said again: "So you must not think that you can be named a county king because you are a royal family, but in the same way, you should not think that anyone can be named a county king. For decades, only Ge Shuhan and Wang Yi are the kings of different surnames. In An Lushan, even Gao Xianzhi and Cheng Qianli can only be made dukes of the state, but you were made the king of the county because you came from the royal family."

Seeing his grandson groaning silently, Li Linfu smiled and said, "Do you feel a little contradictory?"

Li Ye pondered for a while and said, "Is it true that the excellent royal family has more opportunities than others?"

Li Linfu nodded with a smile, "That's the reason? But you shouldn't be able to be promoted based on the merits of Yunyang County alone. There must be other reasons. Are you still hiding something from me?"

Li Ye cried out loudly, his grandfather saw that there was something else going on inside, and Jiang was really old and spicy.

"Reporting to my grandfather, I have obtained the 15 guan wealth collected by Yuan Maitreya, and I dedicated it to the emperor."

Li Linfu smiled lightly and said: "That's right. No matter how glamorous you say about making great contributions to protect the country, it is actually empty. The root is money. You transported a lot of wealth from the river. This time you gave him 15 Wanguanqian, he has to give you an explanation no matter what."

"Grandpa, there is one more important thing!"

"you say!"

Li Ye decided to tell his grandfather about Zhang Jun's matter. If his grandfather was kept secret, their family might be completely ruined by this matter.

Li Ye said slowly: "Today, Li Lin told me that it was the Zhang family who contributed to the flames and ruined my reputation, and today Zhang Jun launched an attack on my father in the court. Although it was unsuccessful, his intentions were extremely sinister."

Li Linfu was also taken aback, he was still grasping the handle of Zhang Jun's prophecy book, how dare he turn his face?

Li Linfu suddenly remembered something, could it be.
He immediately got up and ordered the little maid in the yard: "Go and find the eldest son immediately!"

Li Linfu said to Li Ye with a solemn face, "I may have done another stupid thing!"

Li Ye instantly understood that the prophecy book was in Li Xiu's hands, so he said flatly: "It's not stupid, my grandson understands!"

"Just understand it in your heart, you go! I will face the stupid things I did by myself."

The grandfather and grandson don't need to talk about anything, they both know it well, but Li Ye shook his head, "Sometimes it happens sooner than later, I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing."

"Don't comfort me, I'm really old and fatuous!" Li Linfu sighed for a long time.

At this time, the eldest son Li Xiu said at the door: "Father, are you looking for a child?"

"You come in!"

Li Xiu walked into the room and saw Li Ye was there, he felt really uncomfortable, but Li Ye was made the county king today, no matter how jealous he felt, he had no choice but to hold back.

"Greetings to father, child!"

Li Linfu said coldly: "Give me the book I asked you to keep last time!"

"What book does father want?"

"That book of Zhang Jun's prophecy!"

Li Xiu's face suddenly became unnatural, and he said for a long time: "The relationship between Hai'er and Zhang Xiangguo has been very good these past few months. His youngest daughter was betrothed to Yu'er, and we have already exchanged marriage certificates, and Yu'er feels that being able to marry the Zhang family will be of great benefit to our family."

"So you returned that prophecy book to Zhang Jun?" Li Linfu clenched his fists, suppressing his anger.

"Haier felt that one must be sincere to be a human being, and not use such low-handed means to deal with allies, so Haier took the initiative to return the book to Zhang Xiangguo!"

"Kill you idiot!"

Li Linfu suddenly roared wildly, got up and punched Li Xiu fiercely in the face, his eyes suddenly went dark, and he passed out on the ground.

Li Ye was shocked, and supported Li Linfu, "Grandfather! Grandfather!"

Li Xiu also panicked, and shouted: "Father, you wake up, the child knows it's wrong."

At night, Li Linfu was finally rescued, but unfortunately he also had a stroke and was completely paralyzed.

It was the end of November again, and it was getting colder every day, the cold wind was howling, and a heavy snow swept across the land of Guanzhong.

Hancheng County, Tongzhou, is an important traffic artery between Guanzhong and Hedong. The famous Longmen Ferry is more than [-] miles away to the north.

Because Hancheng is located in an important traffic road, commerce has always been relatively developed, and various commercial service facilities in the city are complete, especially there are many inns, and there are also a lot of foreign businessmen.

This morning, a tall man with a beard and a long sword was walking slowly on the street. This man was Wu Ying who had been missing for more than a month.

He fled to Taiyuan in Hedong, where there is also a branch of the Wu family. He had an uncle who lived far away there, and he hid there for more than 20 days. For more than [-] days, he had to eat and drink, and his distant relatives couldn't bear it, so they kicked him out.

Wu Ying had no choice but to return to Guanzhong to try his luck. He still had a last ray of hope, which was to sell the Tiande Manor in Fuping County and get a sum of money.

Their family's farm property was confiscated, only Tiande Manor was relatively hidden and survived.

He originally wanted to sell it to his distant uncle in Taiyuan, but the uncle's family background was average, and he could only pay three hundred guan at most, which was far from his minimum selling price of five thousand guan.

There are many wealthy people in Taiyuan, but they want the land deed, and the land deed is in the hands of his mother in Chang'an. Wu Ying knew that there must be people watching there, so he dared not go back to Chang'an.

After much deliberation, there is only one way, and that is to find the original seller. The original seller is more familiar with the situation and knows himself. Maybe he will agree to go to Chang'an to ask for the land deed, and then hand over the money to himself. In this way, Wu Ying does not have to go to Chang'an to take risks. up.

The original seller lives in Hancheng County and is a well-known big businessman. Wu Ying came here full of hope, but to his disappointment, the original seller went to Chang'an for a wedding and would not be back until a few days later. Wait patiently for a few days in Hancheng County.

But the problem is that he has less than ten taels of silver left on him. He is almost exhausted in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling in Taiyuan. Now there are only eight taels of silver in total. How many days can he last?
After much deliberation, there is only one way, pretending to be Mao Ping, the head of Fuping County, and wait a few days for a few days.

Generally speaking, officials live in the post station when they are on business trips, but Wu Ying dare not go to the post station because he is afraid that the government will already know that his alias is Mao Ping.

Wu Ying came to the Gaosheng Inn. Even an official has to pay to live in the Gaosheng Inn, but one advantage is that the Gaosheng Inn is a big inn, and he is an official, so he doesn't have to pay first, and he will take it with him when he leaves. After paying the bill, when the time comes, he will leave at night, who can the Gaosheng Inn ask for money?
Wu Ying walked into the inn and said in a rough voice, "Stay in the inn!"

The shopkeeper hurriedly got up and said with a smile, "Welcome, sir, what room do you live in?"

"Of course it's the upper room. I want an upper room on the far side. I'm here on business in Hancheng, and I don't know how long I'll be staying. How about this! I'll put the fish card here with you, and return it to me when I pay the bill."

The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, but nodded, "Fish cards can be mortgaged!"

Wu Ying handed the fish card to the shopkeeper, and said in a rough voice, "This is an official card, keep it, you won't be able to pay for it if you lose it."

"Don't worry, the official, it's very safe to put me here, and it will never be lost!"

The shopkeeper hurriedly asked the waiter to take the guests upstairs. He picked up the copper fish card and registered it in the accommodation roster, and the owner of Fuping County, Mao Ping.

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment.
