An oil lamp standing on the table fluttered like a broad bean. Li Zongye, who was sitting in front of the couch in the back room, was holding a history book of the previous dynasty and continued to read it with charm under the light, while feeling how amazing the influential figures in history are. Zong Yingcai, on the other hand, thought carefully about the three people who appeared at his door yesterday evening.
He knew that Li Tang was still too young. His teacher Huang Zongxi, the dean of Xinglin College, was an old master who only read the books of sages. He gave Li Tang countless mantras of sages, but they were all written on paper after all. Compared with what I have experienced in my life, it is still too boring.
I have a son when I am old, and it is too late to treat my son well when I am in the glory. After I am relegated to the people, I can only pass on the experience and principles I have summed up in the ups and downs of the past sixty years to him, teaching him bit by bit. He behaves in the world, and many things run counter to what Huang Zongxi, the dean of Xinglin, taught. He once said to "cultivate one's morality, regulate the family, govern the country and the world", and Li Tang caused disputes with himself. Li Zongye knows that loyalty and filial piety cannot be both If you think about the Qi family, you can't cultivate yourself, and if you want to govern the country and the world, you will ignore the Qi family. Otherwise, you won't forget Li Tang who taught you how to speak when you were Rong Guogong. Teach him his own experience.
A history book is a history book after all. Behind a few lines of text, countless innocent lives were lost. The historian¡¯s stylus is ruthless, but those who make history are really ruthless.
The stove for boiling water was connected to the kang under his buttocks. The hot kang that had been burned during dinner was reheated by Li Tang boiling water. Li Zongye's buttocks were so high that he couldn't sit still. He got up, got off the kang, walked out of the back room, and came to his small living room. It was really too small. The cooking stove and daily necessities were all placed here. At this moment, Li Tang was pouring the hot water on the stove. Ladle into clay pot.
"Tang'er." Li Zongye lifted the cloth and called softly. He looked at Li Tang, who was sweating slightly on his forehead, with mixed emotions in his heart, as if something unspeakable was stuck in his throat and it was difficult for him to swallow. I feel a little annoyed with myself, if only I had never been an official, I would not have ended up where I am today, and my son would not have been implicated.
Li Tang also immediately responded, "Father, if you can't sleep at night, you might as well come out and drink tea together. It happens that Second Brother Pei is coming to visit tonight, and you can talk about the official stories that Father is familiar with."
"No, I, a bad old man, don't meddle in your young people's affairs. It's not good and annoying. If you like to hear me tell you more in the future," Li Zongye waved his hand, "Tang Er Pour a glass of water for Weifu, I'm a little thirsty from the heat."
"Okay, go back to your room and rest for a while, I'll bring it to you later."
"It's hard work my son, ha ha." Li Zongye chuckled lightly, feeling a little relieved in his heart, he vaguely guessed that tonight would be extraordinary, with Captain Pei sitting in charge, troubles would be much less, and his son would also be at ease many.
After Li Tang finished his work, he poured a glass of water for Li Zongye in the back room. The room was dark, except for an oil lamp flickering. Li Zongye grabbed a chair and leaned against the window to look out the window. At this moment, there was a sudden thud in the room. The sound of thumping became louder and louder, and the table on the kang collapsed in an instant. Li Tang, who was always alert, immediately shouted: "Father, run!"
The originally flat mat was sunken downwards, a steel knife was inserted from the middle of the mat, and then a person jumped out from inside, slashing at Li Zongye who had already run to the door with the knife, Li Tang raised his hand and used the kettle in his hand Stepping forward to resist, the kettle instantly shattered, and the freshly boiled hot water spilled all over the floor. Li Zongye turned around and pulled Li Tang, who was slightly dazed, out of nowhere, and the two ran out in twos and threes. The door, at this moment two people jumped out of the collapsed kang hole.
The moment the Li family father and son ran out of the room, Pei Liu drew his sword and rushed in, and the four of them fought together in the dark room.
After all, Pei Liu is the personal guard of Jin Yang's commander, the young master, with excellent skills. Although he is a master of Jindan, he is sure to fight with all his strength against others in the broken alchemy state, and can guarantee that he will retreat completely. The three people in the room are also very skilled. They cooperated tacitly with each other and formed a three-person character array and Pei Liu's circle. It was hard to separate for a while.
Li Tang, who had just escaped from birth, was still in shock, and was stunned by Pei Yuanying's side. After all, Li Zongye was a person who had seen the world, and shouted to the people inside: "I, Li Zongye, did everything today. My son Li Tang has nothing to do, if you have the ability, just come to me Li Zongye, I will stand here aboveboard, and if you have the ability, kill me, this bad old man!" Pei Yuanying stood on the side and looked at the old prime minister of the court with great interest. Standing up, I secretly sighed in my heart that the old man's character is still tough, which is rare in the world.
At this moment, someone suddenly jumped on the eaves.When he raised his eyelids, his eyes were cloudy from exhaustion.
"Uncle, since you can't go to his Pei's house, then come to my Chu's house for a while. My family is not an official's house, and I am not under the control of the court. I can move freely and no one is watching. I can have a good chat with Tang Geer, isn't it? Isn't it beautiful?" Chu Tianwen looked at Pei Yuanying, he didn't hate him, but he hated his full bureaucratic air, and his old-fashioned pretentious attitude at a young age, which made people like himself feel uncomfortable.
"Then respect is worse than obedience, father, let's go."
Escorted by Chu Tianwen, the two father and son avoided the night guards and came to the Chu family quietly. Under the arrangement of the young master of the Chu family, the two went to bed early. After Chu Tianwen arranged everything, they also went back to the room to rest.
However, before following Chu Tianwen, Li Tang carefully inspected the weapons used by the assassins just now, and confirmed that two of them were the ones who followed him during the day, but at this time he was completely out of breath, and it was impossible. There is some useful news.

An old man with a horizontal sword sitting and lying in front of the door sighed heavily, put away his sword and turned back into the room.
