Chapter 777: Merging and Connecting Horizontal (3)
You Mingyuan frowned and said: "With just a few words, those gate valve families dare to believe it, and dare to really place heavy bets?" ”
The situation of that year, You Mingyuan also heard of it, after Liu Ji wrote to the imperial court, he immediately got a positive response from everyone, and then a large number of materials were transported to Longyou, at the same time, Liu Ji began to gather soldiers and horses, and actively prepared for war, so it can be seen that from Liu Ji's attitude, to later reach a consensus with many gate valve families, the time is very short.
You Yuanfeng glanced at You Mingyuan and sneered: "I know what you are thinking in your heart, everyone is not stupid, just based on Liu Wei's words, it is really impossible to come up with a huge amount of wealth, but at that time, they had no choice." ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"At that time, Liu Wei, with nearly 100,000 soldiers, sat on the land of the five states of Longyou and Anbei, during that period, the old Zanpu of Tubo died, the kings competed for the throne, and a large number of troops were transferred back to the country to compete for the throne, without the threat of Tubo, Liu Wei did not have to worry about the enemy on his back, only to face the forces of the Hu people, the environment and situation at that time, the time and place were favorable, Liu Wei can be said to be all occupied, he has full strength, and also has the ability, directly support the army and self-respect, divide Longyou, and be the overlord of one side."
You Yuanfeng told the past incident decades ago, the imperial court at that time was exhausted, and any slightly stronger force could bring a devastating blow to the Great Jin, so at that time, the imperial court had actually lost the ability to control the overall situation of the world, and what could really affect the overall situation at that time was the group of gate valve families, the game and integration between them, and the imperial court was not qualified and powerful to participate at all.
When Pingzong defeated Hebei, 400,000 elite forbidden troops were wiped out, the country was shaken, internal and external troubles, and life and death were at stake.
Now that You Yuanfeng said such a thing, it completely subverted You Mingyuan's perception of this past matter, it turned out that back then, there were so many deep-seated interactions.
You Mingyuan said softly: "Liu Wei had already intended to withdraw all the forces of the Liu clan from the court, and Liu Guanghui had also officially resigned from the court, and now he suddenly made such a place, what did he want to do?" ”
"Emperor Xingzong originally supported Liu Wei against Yang Daosi, in order to balance the forces of the various factions in the court, but the speed of development of the left party is obviously not able to keep up with the right party where Yang Daosi is, especially in terms of local military power, the right party is far ahead, Yang Daoan sits in Shu, has 50,000 soldiers, and the territory is self-respecting, Yang Daolin is also the envoy of the Sanzhou Festival, and once controlled half of the military power of the central forbidden army. Liu Wei and Yang Daosi's political strength is not up or down, but there is no military force as the backing of politics, it is very fragile, Chengping seven years later, Emperor Xingzong intends to promote the current emperor to ascend the throne, and Yang Daosi is also from the national interests, self-reduction, compression of the Yang family's military power in the local proportion, even Yang Daolin is to completely hand over the military power of the forbidden army, the two sides take a step back, therefore, Emperor Xingzong and Yang Daosi reached a consensus, the interests and status of the Yang family remain unchanged, The position of the right minister is still held by the Yang clan, as an exchange condition, the Yang family is to give up the support for Zhao Shuo, the king of Chu, and no longer hinder the then Qi king Zhao Xun to the throne, in this scenario, the power of the left phase party was greatly compressed, Liu Yu out of family interests, but also out of self-preservation, and finally chose to dissolve the left phase of the party, even its entire Liu family, completely withdrew from the political core of the court. ”
"After this change, the strength of the right party has been greatly reduced, and the people are panicked, and it is not what it used to be, Liu Ji as the leader of the left and one party, his political qualifications and reputation, for the time being, no one can match, if he stands up and regathers the power of the court, the right party represented by Yang Daolin is difficult to stop Liu Ji."
You Yuanfeng said to You Mingyuan in detail, although he is of high seniority, but after all, he is not the head of the family, the final decision is still in You Mingyuan's hands, in order to avoid You Mingyuan choosing the wrong direction, You Yuanfeng analyzed things as thoroughly as possible.
You Mingyuan frowned: "Second uncle, Liu Wei has already laid out a perfect layout, it can be said that he has retreated with his whole body, he can sit back and watch the success or failure, and make a preemptive attack, jumping out at this time is actually not the best choice." ”
"It's rare that you can think of that."
You Yuanfeng stood up again, walked to the side, stretched out his hand and folded off a leaf in the flower pot, and said lightly: "The small house where I used to live has raised a lot of flowers and plants, which bloom all year round at that time. ”
You Mingyuan also stood up and looked at You Yuanfeng quietly, waiting for his words later.
You Yuanfeng looked at the leaves in his hand, slightly distracted, silent for a long time, and finally threw away the leaves in his hand, turned to look at You Mingyuan, and said lightly: "What is Liu Ji's real purpose, I don't know, and I don't dare to guess, if you have to guess Liu Ji's thoughts, I think it's not for himself to reunite with the left minister, but for some unwillingness!" ”
You Mingyuan was a little puzzled: "Liu Jironggui has everything in his life, what else is unwilling?" ”
"You haven't been in the political hall, there are some things you don't understand."
You Yuanfeng shook his head, pointed to a pot of emerald green next to him, and said silently: "Emerald green is tender and fragile, it needs to be carefully cultivated and cared for, Liu Yu has worked hard for more than 20 years for the sake of Dajin, and has paid all his hard work and ambition, and finally came to this point today, he is dead, and he is a hundred, but he is still alive, he definitely doesn't want to see the things he least wants to see happen in his lifetime." ”
"Second uncle, nephew understands."
You Mingyuan bowed to You Yuanfeng, at this moment, he already understood what You Yuanfeng meant, Liu Yu intends to reorganize the Left Prime Minister's party, since it is not for himself, it is for the country, he wants to gather a strong enough political force to restrain Zhao Xun, and when Zhao Xun may bring the country to a dangerous situation, the force that exists in Liu Yu can be blocked.
In the final analysis, Liu Yi is still unwilling, he has worked hard for so many years, and finally brought Dajin on the right track, he can't see any danger to the country when he is alive, this is a feeling, and it is also a kind of aftertaste of the past.
