Chapter 88: Father, Son, Brother

Zhenzhou, Jiedushi Mansion.

Li Anguo held up the three pillars of fragrance with his hands. After bowing three times and kowtowed nine times, he inserted the incense into the incense burner on the table in front of him and moved away. Li Che behind him also stepped forward to kowtow to burn incense for the ancestors of the Li family. Compared with those families who have been passed down for a long time, this ancestral hall of Li seems particularly shabby. It is not the kind of decoration or decoration. On the contrary, everything in this room is almost the best in the world. The shabby thing is that the entire wall is just three or five spiritual cards.

Li Anguo was born in a humble and developed manner. After his ancestors were only here for his grandfather, he would never see any more. He was tough. Unlike some people who succeeded, they would rush their ancestors to those famous houses and families, and they would have to make their life more prominent before they could stop. But he was so proud of it. He relied on his own abilities to get to where they are today. If the Li family could be passed on in the future, then he would be the ancestor of the Li family.

It was precisely because of his temper that he was admired by Gongsun Changming back then. When he needed it most, he helped him plan one trick after another and finally settled into the position of the governor.

"Sit." After exiting the main hall where the ancestors enshrine the spirit cards, the father and son came to the small hall in front, with a blazing fire inside. Compared to the cold ancestral hall, it was as warm as spring. Li Anguo pointed to the chair opposite and said to Li Che.

"Thank you father!" Li Che knew that his father had something to say to him, so he sat down respectfully.

Li Anguo looked at the closed gate of the ancestral hall and sighed: "In previous years, your second uncle also brought a few kids from his family to worship us. If they can't come back this year, they will become more and more deserted."

"Don't be sad, my Li family will surely grow branches and leaves in the future and have a prosperous descendants." Li Che comforted.

Li Anguo chuckled, "Sons and grandsons?" He stared at Li Che, and his eyes suddenly became sharp, "Che'er, this time, you really disappointed me. Cao Xin sent me a letter and told me some of the things you went to Yizhou this time. First, he was arrogant and then he was at a loss. Finally, he even made harsh words in front of Cao Xin. Do you know who Cao Xin is?"

Li Che lowered his eyelids and his face felt a little hot: "My son knew he was wrong afterwards. He sent someone to apologize to Uncle Cao, and immediately promoted Wang Mingren's position. Uncle Cao also said that the family did not speak two families, and he knew it."

Li Anguo looked at Li Che and sighed: "Your father, when I started my business, I experienced countless hardships and hardships. But no matter how hard I ended up, there were always a few brothers of life and death around me. There was Cao Xin here. You shouldn't be rude to him."

"Yes! My son was so angry at that time."

"You are the heir to my Li family. You must always keep a clear mind. To ordinary people, such things are nothing, but for you, if you make a mistake, you may lose everything." Li Anguo taught a lesson: "This time it's your own family's business, which will make you mess up. Can you still be so calm when facing outsiders in the future?"

"Son understand."

Li Anguo stared at Li Che and said, "Mr. Gongsun told me that you look generous and not care about the details on the outside, but in fact, you are a little narrow-minded in your heart and cannot tolerate any different meanings. I even laughed at him. Now it seems that Mr. Gongsun's words are still very reasonable. You have been smooth sailing since childhood, and you have been held and taken care of and grown up. Whether it is cultural or martial arts, they are the best choices, and it will eventually make you look down on others."

"Dad, that's not the case. It's just that Li Ze, oh, my younger brother was really bullying people. When my elder brother came to the door, he actually put on such a big battle, not only turned me out, but also threatened me." Li Che defended.

"So you asked Cao Xin to mobilize troops to destroy him?" Li Anguo sneered.

Li Che wanted to speak but stopped.

Li Anguo also fell silent and said for a while: "Che'er, do you know that for so many years, you and Ze'er are the only children of fathers?"

Li Che dared not speak.

"You know too. My father has many women in the house, but there is no one who dares to conceive a child. Even if he is pregnant, it will not last long. Your mother is too domineering." Li Anguo sighed: "My father turned a blind eye to this because if the Su clan had not supported me, how could I be like Li Anguo today? The Su clan has only one room like your uncle, and the others are all dead. They either died in battle or were killed by the enemy. It is precisely because of this that your uncle sent someone to poison Ze'er back then, which almost killed Ze'er. Afterwards, I just whipped him and stopped pursuing it. On the contrary, I hid Ze'er deeply."

Li Che gasped and looked at his father in shock. However, his mother and uncle had never told him about these things.

"So it's natural for Li Ze to have prejudice and opinions about you." Li An Guodao. "After this incident, I hid Li Ze. First, because I put him in the open place, your mother and your uncle might have to do something bad. Second, I don't want to ruin the friendship between our Li family and the Su family over the years because of this incident. Third, you were ten years old at that time, and you were smart and smart. No matter what you learn, you will learn it. My Li family has successors. I don't want to have another dispute in the future. I will cultivate you wholeheartedly and make you a true man."

"The son failed his father's expectations."

Li Anguo shook his head: "You have always done a good job. Now you are in Chengde, you are already recognized as a major general and the future master of Chengde who everyone takes for granted. Your wings are full. What threat does Li Ze have to say about you? Why do you still have to come to bully him? Let him live his life safely and spread for me, Li. When you have fully mastered Chengde, let him recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, he will definitely thank you. Isn't this good?"

Li Che looked up at his father: "Dad, why are your brother weak? I came to the door before, but I didn't have the intention to bully him, I just wanted to see him."

Li Anguo shook his head: "Your thoughts are still a little shallow after all. You learned about him from Wang Mingyi and fell in love with his Yixingtang? To be honest, even I am very moved!"

Speaking of this, he seemed a little proud and shocked, and some other inexplicable emotions were mixed in between: "After all, it's my son, Li Anguo. Even if he trapped him in the little forest, he actually made him grow into a tiger."

"Father, if I could let my younger brother recognize his ancestors and return to his hometown now, it would be of great benefit to my Li family." Li Che emphasized.

Li Anguo sighed: "Wang Mingyi only knows one thing about Ze'er, but not the other. After receiving Cao Xin's letter, I found Mr. Gongsun. Under my questioning, Mr. Gongsun explained his matter clearly. There is no need to think about it now. Even if you don't force me to come to the door, Ze'er would not be so easy to come back. If you are forced to force me, he can leave without a trace. What's more, there is still your uncle here, so he must not tolerate it."

"He is also from the Li family. Besides, my uncle will accept him even if it is for me. I will talk to my uncle about this."

Li Anguo waved his hand: "You don't know some old things. There are some old things between me and his mother, the Li and Wang clan, and the Su clan and the Wang clan, all of them are indistinguishable from being broken. Mr. Gongsun had a lot of time, but he had a lot of time with Ze'er and was very clear about Ze'er's arrangements. This matter cannot be done. Ze'er has already made all preparations in Henghai. If we really struggled, he would go far away and we would have no choice."

"Can't my father let him change his mind?" Li Che asked.

Li Anguo shook his head. "Mr. Gongsun told me that Ze'er's temperament, and the coercion will only backfire. You have become kind and soft, but you will have some effect. You are now in a bad way and I am afraid that it will not be able to improve it in a short period of time. However, Mr. Gongsun also said that Li Ze's intention is not to achieve virtue, and this virtue is yours after all. If Ze'er has the ability and can really achieve great achievements elsewhere, it is also a blessing for our Li family. After all, you are brothers, and you have broken bones and are connected to the tendons. Now you have a knot in your heart. When our older generation dies and dies, those grievances will naturally disappear with the wind. At that time, you will think about cultivating the relationship between brothers, or from then on, brothers can work together to keep cigarettes in my Li family's ancestral hall."

Li Che remained silent.

"Win this battle well, your status in Chengde will be unshakable. This is also the last thing I have prepared for you to take office." Li Anguodao: "So you don't have to have some of your little thoughts. Not to mention that Li Ze does not have the intention to compete with you, even if he has it, I will never allow it. Do you understand what I said?"
