Chapter 277 Change the promise of the future
Outside the door, looking at Li Yanzong and Li Cunzhi who came back, Li Ang took their picture and frowned. Although it was as he expected, the old people in the ancestral hall had never thought that anyone would dare to attack them. Although they all brought their trusted guards, they were not prepared. The trouble was that the guards were all staying outside the main hall where the matter was discussed, and it was difficult to separate and annihilate them." Here, here, there were also here." Li Ang pointed to several places on the map and said to Li Yanzong and Li Cunzhi, "Leave the people here to you." Then he looked at Dugu Xiao, "The others went directly to the main hall with me."
The sun was setting in the west. In the sunset of the red sunset, Li Ang walked past the palace gate with his troops and walked towards the confidants and guards of the elders of the ancestral halls of major families in the distance. This may be the last time they saw the sunset in Chang'an. Cao Anmin and Li Ang did not want their lives, but those who replaced the old man might not let them go. There is never a bloodless coup in this world.
Just as Li Ang brought his troops to the palace, Li Cunzhi and Li Yanzong had already brought people to the confidants and guards of the elders of the ancestral hall who did not stay in front of the hall. However, what they did not expect was that these guards were not ordinary people. When they took action, they were discovered by them, so the sneak attack turned into an encounter, and casualties were inevitable.
Hearing the sudden sound of fighting, the confidants and guards of the elders of the ancestral hall in front of the hall were alert. At this time, they saw Li Ang and his group wearing Yulin Guard uniforms, all showing a vigilant attitude.
Seeing that things had come to this point, Li Ang had no choice but to give up the idea of capturing them all alive. He asked Dugu Xiao and the others to take action, and he himself led people into the crowd. In fact, he should have thought that the elders of the ancestral hall were all arrogant figures, and the guards around him would not be mediocre. Li Cunzhi and Li Yanzong were hiding their voices and checked the situation so that they would not find it, but it might not be possible for a sneak attack.
Hearing the sudden sound of fighting outside the hall. The elders of the major families who were blushing for the election of elders of the clan and the ancestral hall were all looking at each other. Then they looked at Cao Anmin, but what they saw was the emperor dozing off.
Wake up gently by the eunuch, Cao Anmin looked at the elders of the ancestral hall staring at him and asked in a pretentious manner, "Is there a result?" In fact, he had already heard the fighting outside the hall. Just as everyone looked at the emperor who seemed to be ignorant, Li Ang brought people into the hall. Although the guards brought by the elders of the ancestral hall were masters, it was a pity that they were not subordinate to each other. The battle was a mess, which only made him spend more effort.
Seeing Li Ang enter the hall, the elders of the ancestral hall immediately understood. The emperor attacked them. Many people's faces turned pale and the hall suddenly became silent. Looking at the silent elders of the ancestral hall, Cao Anmin stood up, "I just plan to ask you to stay in the palace for a while. There is no other intention." After that, Cao Anmin ignored the elders of the ancestral hall and walked straight into the darkness behind him.
Li Ang's subordinates guarded the entire hall. Some of them were carrying blood on the swords, which made the elders of the ancestral hall who were usually in power and felt that death was so close to them for the first time. They looked at Li Ang in black and were nervous, but no one among them dared to talk to this notorious upstart.
Seeing that the elders of the ancestral hall were just staring at each other in a daze, Li Ang walked to a quiet place in the hall and knelt down, closing his eyes to rest, which made the elders of the ancestral hall inexplicably frightened.
Time passed by little by little. The elders of the ancestral hall in the hall did not dare to breathe, and they knelt down like Li Ang. They were thinking about the emperor's real purpose. At this time, they all understood that Li Ang was just a knife in the emperor's hand. The one who determined their fate was the person holding the knife, not the fierce sword in front of them. After understanding this, they calmed down a lot and thought of more things. Many of them guessed the emperor's intention, but they were no longer able to change anything.
In this way, in the strange silence, the elders of the ancestral hall spent a sleepless night. In the early morning, the eunuchs brought pastries and tea. Under the supervision of Li Ang's subordinates, these elders of the ancestral hall did not even have the opportunity to inquire about information from the eunuchs.
After the morning passed, Li Ang was still sitting quietly, while the elders of the ancestral hall could only sit and whisper to each other. It was almost noon, and the sound of soldiers and armor suddenly sounded outside the hall. Li Yanzong, who was guarding outside the hall, walked in quickly and whispered in Li Ang's ear, but the elders of the ancestral hall stretched their necks, but unfortunately they could not hear anything.
Li Ang stood up. At this time, soldiers from Jinwu were already coming in outside the hall. They came to invite these elders of the ancestral hall to stay in a few vacant inner palaces for a while, according to Cao Anmin's order.
"General Li, Your Majesty invites you to the imperial study." The eunuch Cao Anmin, who came with Jinwu, found Li Ang and conveyed the emperor's orders.
"Yeah." Li Ang nodded and walked out of the hall with the eunuchs together. The elders of the ancestral hall were pale and headed towards the inner palace in the distance under the supervision of the soldiers of Jinwu.
Walking quietly on the road to the imperial study, Li Ang thought of Cao Anmin. For Cao Anmin, last night was also a sleepless night. Those young and powerful figures from aristocratic families are not easy to deal with, and they are very difficult to deal with.
Soon Li Ang arrived in the imperial study room. Cao Anmin was sitting in the chair in front of the desk, looking tired. He had been dealing with the young and strong sects of the aristocratic families all night. His eyes were covered with blood, but when he saw Li Ang, he couldn't help but feel energetic. After the eunuch withdrew from the imperial study room and closed the door, he stood up and smiled at Li Ang, "I won this game."
After Cao Anmin smiled, his face darkened again. He looked at Li Ang, pondered for a moment before saying, with a little hesitant expression, "They want me to cut off your position as a general in the Western Expedition. I promised them, you won't blame me, right?"
"This is something I have expected long ago, Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about it." Li Ang replied with a smile. In fact, he had thought of this from the beginning. After 150 years, the aristocratic families in Chang'an have long been embraced. They are always hostile to the newly emerging aristocratic families. No one wants anyone to divide their own interests from themselves, not to mention that he also violated him in this time when he did things.
Huo, he was already jealous of many people, how could those people miss this opportunity?
Seeing Li Ang’s calm expression, Cao Anmin knew that he would not care about the gains and losses of the title at all. However, he always felt a little apologized in his heart. He planned to compensate Li Ang, "I want you to go to Jiangyuan, what do you think?"
"Jiangyuan." Li Ang looked at Cao Anmin and couldn't help but be surprised. Most of the middle and lower-level officers in the Qin army were selected from the major prophets. In the past, major families usually extended their tentacles into the Zhengyuan to recruit talents for their families. However, in the past thirty years, the Qin army has not yet developed, and most families have not attached much importance to the Zhengyuan as they did in the past. And the middle and lower-level officers entering the Zhengyuan are not like before. Many of them were considered by the major prophets to be sent to the Zhengyuan with rebellious thorns.
It can be said that although Jiangyuan was not the Jiangyuan that gathered talents thirty years ago, there were definitely not few people buried inside. As long as you are willing to work hard, you can always get a few useful talents. For Li Ang, who lacks people in his hands, Cao Anmin's appointment is the best for him.
"I thank Your Majesty for your kindness." Li Ang accepted the new position given to him by Cao Anmin, and with the Xishi Wharf he controlled, it can be said that he will need people and money in the future. With three years of accumulation, he will have a better grasp of going to Haixi and Europe in the future.
"What Longen, you will open up a second battlefield for the empire in Haixi in the future. How can you do without anyone in your hands?" Cao Anmin looked at Li Ang. His heart was filled with feelings. Emperor Diwen was willing to let Li Ang leave Chang'an in the future. It originated from an agreement with his friend Xiahou Tang in the past.
Thirty years ago, Xiahou Tang still made Rome's most awe-inspiring general, Emperor Wen was also the crown prince, and the assassination did not happen. At that time, Xiahou Tang had the idea of leaving the Xiahou family because Feng Siniang's mother was extremely irritated with her family. He wanted to establish a vassal state in Haixi and to control Rome and Persia in Longcheng Jerusalem. At that time, his dead father agreed to his friend's idea, saying that if he became an emperor in the future, he would be appointed as a vassal king and let him watch Rome for Daqin in Haixi. If Rome was not honest, he would teach a lesson for Daqin.
"Qingyuan, in the future, I will also give you a title of prince in Haixi and watch Rome well for the Qin Dynasty. If he is not honest, he will teach me a lesson." Cao Anmin looked at Li Ang, thinking of his father, Emperor Wen, and said so.
"Ah!" Li Ang was stunned when he heard Cao Anmin's words. He did not expect that Cao Anmin would suddenly give him the title of princes and kings. He wanted to talk about the princes. When the founding of the Qin Dynasty, Emperor Taizu asked the generals under his command who would want to split the land and establish a country in a foreign country. He would be the princes of the Qin Dynasty, and he could get the title of princes. However, at that time, none of the generals were willing to leave their hometowns and become princes in a foreign country that was thousands of miles away, and the matter would be left.
Seeing Li Ang’s doubts, Cao Anmin told his father’s past, and he smiled and said, “I want to follow the example of the late emperor. If you can really break up the land and establish a country in Haixi in the future and guard Rome for the Qin Dynasty, what’s the point of making you a king? Let’s make this agreement at this time, and it’s not a good story in the future.”
Cao Anmin said as he stretched out his hand and looked at Li Ang. Li Ang hesitated for a moment, and finally extended his hand and made this agreement with Cao Anmin. No one knew that this seemingly random agreement at this time completely changed the pattern of Eurasia in the future.
When Li Ang walked out of the palace gate, he still looked at his hand that was slapped with Cao Anmin in a bit of incredible sense, opening up a second battlefield for the Qin Dynasty in Haixi, establishing a country, and controlling Rome. Such oaths may be really absurd. Li Ang smiled, but sometimes men should fight for such oaths? Regardless of whether they succeed in the end, as long as they do their best, they will not be considered as having a negative oath.
In the evening, when Li Ang told the news that his title of General of the West was taken back, Li Yanzong, the little man who was most loyal to him, jumped up. The lord removed such a big obstacle for the emperor, but in order to appease those aristocratic families, he cut off the title of the lord. It was really...
Looking at the angry men for themselves, Li Ang smiled, "Anyway, our family is not a high-ranking family now. I am just a captain now. If anyone wants to leave, I will not stop him."
"Master, Yan Zong is the only one in his life. If you drive Yan Zong away, Yan Zong will only thank him for his great kindness." Li Yan Zong was the first to kneel down. Then Cen Ji also jumped up and shouted, "Who is going to leave, let's leave now, but if I meet him next time, I will beat him so hard that he doesn't even recognize me."
"How can a son of man turn his father away? If this is the case, wouldn't it be worse than a pig or a dog?" Li Cunxiao and Li Cunzhi also knelt down.
"If there was no general, I would still be in the logistics department of the Ministry of War, waiting to die against the official documents." Huang Yuan also knelt down on one knee, and then Dugu Xiao, like Huang Yuan, knelt on the ground and said to Li Ang, "Without general, I might one day die on an unknown mountain like other wardens, without even a whole body."
"Who will want us except the general?" Among the people in the hall, Helian Bobo, Erzhu Rong and Xue An laughed and knelt down on one knee. Although they considered themselves Han people, in the eyes of those families who value bloodline in Chang'an, they were outsiders after all, and how could they value them like Li Ang? From the beginning, their fate was tied to Li Ang.
"Master, the mistress said it's time to have dinner." Drizzt, who came in from outside the hall, looked at the kneeling people in the hall, was stunned, and looked at Li Ang, "Master, is this?"
"All up, from today on, you are all my family members of Li Ang, and I will definitely not let you down in the future." Looking at the people on the ground, Li Ang said loudly. He did not expect that his words would lead everyone to such an example, which was really unexpected.
The people on the ground stood up, and they followed Li Ang out of the house, sitting around a round table full of food in the afterglow of the fallen clouds, just like a real family.
Li Ang didn't know that his unintentional words allowed him to have a family that truly belonged to him, and this family was called the Golden Family by the white people in Haixi many years later.
