Gongsun Bufan had always been reluctant to deal with the aristocratic families. Therefore, they rarely interacted with each other. Everyone knew this, especially Liu Biantian who had been in Chang 'an for many years. Therefore, he paid the least attention to the Gongsun Clan. This time, the aristocratic families had chosen this place as their meeting place.
Although Gongsun Bufan hated dealing with the aristocratic families, he wouldn't reject them if they wanted to 'borrow the Jun Hua Hall's private room'. Although he didn't like it, if he offended all the aristocratic families just because he didn't like them, he would be even more foolish than Yang Fan.
Although this meeting was very important to the Succession Hall, and even they themselves did not foresee that everything decided today would have a far-reaching impact not only on them, but also on the court, on the world, and on the future. But this meeting could not be said to be solemn, solemn, or extraordinary.
The entire scene consisted of six white-haired old men. Some had their legs crossed, some were sitting cross-legged, and some were lazily leaning against the pillows on the couch. In front of each of them was a small table with some fruits and drinks on it. Two windows were opened in the hall, and outside the window was a pond. The lotus flowers were no longer in the pond, and the lotus leaves had withered. Only a few lotus pods were left standing there.
The six elders were sitting leisurely and chatting. There was no one presiding over the meeting, nor was there any order of speaking.
The Clan Head of the Cui Clan of Boling said in a deep voice, "The biggest problem is that he isn't one of us!"
The Clan Head of the Wang Clan of Taiyuan said, "I have discussed this with Old Zheng and Mubai, but we don't have a better solution. To make him one of us, we have to make him the son-in-law of an aristocratic family. But no matter which family's daughter is, there's no reason to marry him secretly. Marry him openly? Then the Empress won't use him. Therefore, there's no solution to this problem! "
Li Mubai stroked his beard and didn't say anything. Because Shen Mu, whom he supported, had already become the master of the Hidden Sect of the Succession Hall, his identity was rather sensitive, and it wasn't convenient for him to say anything.
Old Grandpa Zheng glanced at Li Mubai and coughed. "I don't think this problem is a problem. This old man believes that no one is born to be one of us. We all become one of us through various relationships. So what if Lu Binmi is one of us?
Yang Fan has the same ambition as us: to return power to Li! Once he becomes the leader of Xian Sect, he will have the same benefits as us. Sooner or later, he will become one of us. There is no need to use a marriage contract to restrict him. If he wanted to enter Xian Sect, without ten to twenty years of work, he wouldn't be able to build up a power that completely belonged to him.
Ten or twenty years later, he will be connected to us by blood. I don't know why he would do something like betraying his family. Moreover … will the Empress still be alive until then? If there's anyone who's worried, you can just marry Yang Fan's son! "
Obviously, Great Grandfather Zheng and Li Mubai had reached an agreement. These words were probably the reason why Li Mubai had convinced him. Now, it was just that it was inconvenient for Li Mubai to express his opinion, so he sold Li Mubai's words to others.
The Cui Clan's Patriarch pondered deeply for a moment before he said, "I feel that this isn't a big problem. What's important is that Yang Fan is so impulsive. Can he take on such a heavy responsibility? "
The Patriarch of the Li Clan from Zhao Commandery snorted and said, "Just because he manipulated us old fellows, isn't this ability enough? In the past two days, this old man has carefully investigated everything related to his past. This person is worthy of the evaluation of being bold, meticulous, and experienced in handling matters. He is intelligent and resourceful, and also has great courage … "
Qinghe Cui smiled faintly and said, "Then how do you explain everything that happened in Chang 'an these days?"
Zhao Junli glared at him and said, "What's the hurry? I haven't finished speaking. However … this person also has a shortcoming, or rather, his reverse scale. This person lost his parents when he was young. He has no parents, no relatives, so he especially values his family. Anything can be discussed, and it is not easy to make him lose his composure. The only thing that cannot be harmed is his family. Regarding this, it isn't a big problem … "
Zhao Junli stretched his back and played with a fruit with a smile. He said leisurely, "Once he becomes the Lord of the Xian Clan, unless the Emperor sends troops to confiscate his home, who else can touch his family? What's more, how can you trust a person who has no shortcoming at all? "
The Taiyuan King said, "What I am worried about now is whether Yang Fan will let it go like this. And that little beast Lu Binmi, since he dared to ignore us and brazenly leave, will he fight with Yang Fan again out of anger? If that's the case and we give Xian Zong to Yang Fan, that will be harming us. The two of them both control a portion of Xian Zong's power. With such great power, if they fight, they can't hide it from the Emperor! "
Li Mubai coughed and said, "You don't need to worry about this. I will persuade Yang Fan. As for Lu Binmi, unless that old guy from the Lu Family wants to die together, he will use all methods to stop that grandson of his from continuing to cause trouble! "
Qing He Cui slowly scanned everyone and said coolly, "This means that you all agree to let Yang Fan take over the Xian Clan? Haha, originally, the 'Succession Hall' was the 'Succession Hall', but because of that brat Shen Mu, he split the 'Succession Hall' into two, making it the Xian Clan and the Hidden Clan. Us old guys had to agree. Now, the Xian Clan has changed masters … "
Qing He Cui looked meaningfully at Li Mubai and smiled. "The new waves of the river push on the old, and the new replace the old! This world will belong to the younger generation sooner or later. There is no harm in letting them have a try. However … "
His smile faded as he said in a low voice, "The Guanlong Family has been eyeing us like a tiger watching its prey. This time … they have something to use against us. They won't be satisfied with just a little benefit. Let's not talk about the distant future. At the very least, they will definitely want a bigger share of the Southern Border's affairs. How are we going to settle this?"
… …
"I will resolve this matter!"
Yang Fan lowered his head and thought for a long time. He suddenly raised his head and said to Li Mubai, "As for Young Master Jiang, don't worry. Since my wife and son have not been harmed, as long as he does not provoke me in the future, I will not actively provoke him. I know that he has the Fan Yang Lu Clan behind him and will not be so arrogant!"
When Yang Fan said this, he smiled slightly. He suddenly thought of the huge pit that he had started to dig for Young Master Jiang in Luoyang before he had even left the capital.
Li Mubai heard that he would not continue to tangle with Young Master Jiang and couldn't help but sigh in relief. Then his face tightened and he said nervously, "But … how will you resolve Guanlong's side? Those people are like a pack of hungry wolves. They finally have a big meal and will not easily give it up! "
Yang Fan calmly smiled and said, "Great Grandfather, don't you think that my foolishness these days will not only cause headaches to the elders in Shandong but also the elders in Guanlong?"
Li Mubai was startled and said with a wry smile, "Don't. I have already told Ning Ke that I will give her the 'Green Damask' on her birthday next year. If you do it again, I will have to give it to her in advance."
Yang Fan was surprised and asked, "Why?"
Li Mubai grumpily glared at him and said, "Because I am anxious and angry and have already passed away. I have already slept in the coffin made of gloomy wood that I have prepared thirty years ago. Why do I still keep the 'Green Damask'?"
Yang Fan was shocked and said, "The ancients said that half a square of ebony is better than a box of treasures. Great Grandfather's coffin is made of ebony? That is priceless! "
Li Mubai grumpily glared at him and said angrily, "What are you doing? Do you want to rob my grave? "
Yang Fan smiled and said, "I don't dare. It is not worth it to be endlessly hunted by people!"
Finishing, his smile faded and he said gravely, "Junior has his own plans, but the details will depend on the situation. Great Grandfather does not need to ask so clearly. In short, leave this matter to junior. Whether or not junior can complete this matter will be a test to see if junior is worthy of the position of the sect leader of Xian Sect. How about it? "
Li Mubai stared at him for a moment. His white eyebrows rose and he said, "Good! This is what it looks like to do great things. This old man believes you. I will leave this matter to you! "
Yang Fan said with a slight smile, "Great Grandfather, do not worry. Junior will definitely resolve this matter."
The cries of a baby suddenly sounded in the room, followed by the sounds of Xiao Man and A Nu coaxing the child.
One was an unmarried girl, the other was a mother who had just given birth. The two had no experience and panicked.
After Li Mubai finished talking, he was in a good mood. Hearing the loud cries of the child, he was very happy. He said joyfully, "This child of yours has suffered so much when he was born. What's left is only the sweetness to eat. He is a fortunate child. Quick, bring him out for this old man to see!"
Since the old man had said so, how could Yang Fan keep his precious son a secret? He shouted into the room and Xiao Man carried the child out, followed by A Nu.
"Come come come, let this old man see!"
Once the old man took the child, the swaddling cloth wrapped around the child fell apart. Xiao Man's face blushed and she glanced at Yang Fan in embarrassment. She explained, embarrassed, "I … haven't learned yet …"
As soon as the swaddling cloth fell apart, the little fellow was naked. Li Mubai was eighty-eight years old. When he saw the white and tender fat boy, he was so happy that his eyes narrowed into slits. He praised, "Good boy, good boy, look at this little fellow. He is chubby, and his hands are strong …"
The old man put his hands under the little fellow's ribs and lifted him up. He looked at him carefully and said, "Look, look, this child's forehead is full, the ground is square, and his eyes are bright. He has a bright future and a long life …"
The old man was looking at the little fellow's face. The little fellow pursed his lips and exerted force with his hands and feet. The white and clean little field snail under his crotch gradually turned into a jade silkworm. Tin Aino saw it from the side. He suddenly covered his mouth with a cry, and his eyes also curved into a crescent moon.
At the same time, the Tian Ai Nu's almond-shaped eyes turned into crescent moons, a crystal-clear stream of water shot out forcefully. The old man was in the middle of chanting excitedly, but as soon as he said the word 'ah', he opened his mouth wide and followed the stream of water …
