Chapter 5392 Crisis
Li Family Courtyard.

In the elder hall.

At this moment, Patriarch Li Chengji had already flung his sleeves and left. Before leaving, he put down his words and left the position of Patriarch to Li Qingyuan.

But just this sentence can never guarantee that the position of Patriarch can be handed over smoothly.

"Old Xiang, tell me what to do." Li Chengya threw the question to Li Chengxiang.

Among the six of them, the oldest one is of course Li Chengxiang. Not only is he the oldest, but he also has the greatest experience and contribution to the Li family.

When the patriarch passed on, Li Chengxiang almost became the new patriarch, but later Li Chengji showed outstanding ability, and the latecomer took the place of Li Chengxiang.

This also shows that Li Chengxiang's ability is enough to be alone.

"Cough, let me say a few words."

Li Chengxiang stretched out his withered fingers and tapped on the table. His eyes, which were slightly squinted, suddenly opened, revealing a shrewd expression.

The other five people all turned their eyes to Li Chengxiang, waiting for his words.

"Everyone has seen the current situation. You all support Li Qingyuan. I believe that everyone, like me, was moved by Li Qingyuan's tricks!"

"What means, I won't ask, but as far as this matter is concerned, Li Qingyuan is capable!"

"It can impress us, no matter what method is used, we can reach a consensus to support him to seize the throne. In the past 100 years, has the Li family had a second place?"

Li Chengqi was the first to shake his head and said: "Old Xiang is right. The Li family has been around for more than 100 years, and it is almost the same age as Da Qi. From the first generation of the family head to now, there is no similar precedent."

"Li Qingyuan did it. He may have a reason to rely on external forces, but why can't others do it? Why can he do it? This is one of the main reasons why I support him."

Li Chengxiang paused, coughed and said, "The second reason is that Li Chengji is leading the Li family to death. Our Li family members are all prosperous and all are lost. The Li family Family precepts, you can't personally get involved in the battle for the imperial throne, this is particularly critical... But Li Chengji violated this point."

"In recent days, Li Chengji has mobilized the hidden power of the Li family, almost revealing the background of the Li family, and even cooperated with the old enemies of the Li family, the Ji family, to send troops to the capital to win the throne for a certain prince. Tell me, can this be done?" Li Chengxiang's voice became more serious.

"It can't be done, Mr. Xiang. I didn't agree with this matter from the beginning. Our Li family can't be in this kind of muddy water. It will destroy the Li family, and it is impossible to succeed in seizing the throne." Li Chengqi said firmly.

Li Chengwu clapped his big hands on the table, and then stood up: "My elder brother, I have always supported him, but I can't see him going nowhere. Something must have happened to my elder brother, otherwise he wouldn't have made such a stupid move."

"What's going to happen? Doesn't he cover the sky with one hand, the Li family has the final say, who can say no?" Li Chenglin said slowly.

"Li Chenglin, my elder brother, major matters are all voted by the elders. When did you cover the sky with one hand?" Li Chengwu stared at Li Chenglin with a trace of anger on his face.

"A few of you, the elders, have you ever said that you disagreed with Li Chengji? Isn't that what Li Chengji said? Seeing that he is going to ruin the Li family because of his own will, can't you just sit still?" Li Chenglin stared back without fear.

Compared to fighting, he, a scholar, naturally couldn't do it, but compared to staring, when did he admit defeat?

"Okay, stop arguing, let's talk about what to do next." Li Chengxiang patted the table.

"Humph!"

Li Chengwu sat down with a cold snort, and turned away from Li Chenglin.

"Now that the matter is clear, we must first call Li Qingyuan over and listen to his thoughts." Li Chengya put forward her own opinion.

"Okay, that's how it should be. In fact, Li Qingyuan is waiting in a dark room nearby, and he can come here now." Li Chengxiang said slowly.

Everyone couldn't help being surprised, it turned out that Li Qingyuan was nearby, and only Li Chengxiang knew about it!

Li Chengxiang called his confidant who was guarding outside to come in, talked for a while, and then the confidant left.

After a while, there were steady footsteps outside.

The wooden door was pushed open from the outside, and Li Qingyuan stepped in.

At this moment, his heart was about to jump out of his throat with excitement, but on the surface he still had to maintain a calm expression.

He glanced around, but there was no sign of Li Chengji here.

That being the case, it is conceivable what happened.

"Qing Yuan, come and sit, where do you sit?" Li Chengxiang said with a smile on his old face, pointing to the seat in front of him.

That seat originally belonged to Li Chengji, who was the head of the family.

The other five looked at Li Qingyuan with complicated eyes.

They had dealt with Li Qingyuan in advance, and with Ziyan's help, Li Qingyuan "persuaded" the six elders one by one.

The result was gratifying, and all six people were "persuaded" to support him.

Li Qingyuan stopped being polite, and sat on the big mahogany chair with confidence.

"Qing Yuan, the elders have just made a decision that you will succeed your father Li Chengji as the next head of the family. From then on, you will be in control of the Li family."

"Elders, you all know what kind of person I am, Li Qingyuan. In my hands, the Li family will never get worse, it will only get better. I will fulfill all my promises to the elders."

After Li Qingyuan finished speaking, he glanced at everyone, and continued: "Our Li family is currently facing a great crisis, and we must first resolve this crisis."

"Outsiders only see our Li family's scenery, but they can't see the crisis. This time, the Li family supported the prince's bid for the throne. There are a few things wrong. First, the seizure of the throne is such a big thing that it has not been done until now. The core elders of the family, none of them know which prince took the throne, this is really a big joke. Second, the situation in the capital is unknown, and it is said that the current emperor is seriously ill, but who can know whether it is true or not?"

"The current emperor is a ruthless character, not a fatuous lord. Will he reveal such a big flaw? No matter whether others believe it or not, I don't believe it anyway."

"Two points of doubt are enough to put the Li family in crisis, and even if the Li family is right this time, it will really be more prosperous? Obviously not, even if they seize the capital, they can still defeat the guardian of the great general who protects the country in the east. The National Army? When the National Defense Army returns to the capital, will our Li family be able to resist it? Does Daqi have other troops that can resist the National Defense Army?"

"Ten thousand steps back, even if you can fight against the National Defense Army, you will lose both sides, but don't forget the Black Lotus Sect, the Han army of Qin Hanqing in the east, and the most terrifying Daliao in the north. Who is cheaper? In such troubled times, Li What else can the family get?"
