Chapter 234: Huaide Hall
Zhending City, the capital of Zhenzhou, has completely restored its calm. In fact, the rebellion launched by Suning did not stir up much of a wave at all. In the minds of many insiders, this rebellion is simply a joke. The people who started the rebellion relied on the most generals, and they were all the other party's people. This turmoil is not so much a rebellion as a bait set by Li Anguo by Jiedu. And Suning swallowed it in one gulp without knowing it.
Li Anguo didn't take Suning in his eyes at all, what he valued was how to take this opportunity to pit Lu Long fiercely. No matter whose hands his beloved eldest son Li Che died, in the final analysis, the source of this matter is still where the Lu Long people are. The forced landing of Lu Long's general Fei Zhong and his 2,000 elite Lu Long troops could not make Li Anguo satisfied. A larger net is already in full swing in Shenzhou, in Zhenwu and other places.
The external tide was surging, and countless troop movements were rapidly unfolding, but in the Jiedu Mansion, it was calm, and there were not even many lights on.
In the backyard, there is a hall whose door is closed almost all year round, and no matter how strong the light outside, this room is always dimly lit, and it is lit with a permanent lamp all year round.
This is the ancestral hall of the Li family, Huaide Hall.
Today is no exception, but there are two more people inside.
Li Anmin knelt in front of the blue brick in front of the offering table, and Li Anguo sat on a chair on the side.
The Putuan, who knelt and kowtowed on weekdays, was thrown aside, and the hard green bricks were a punishment for Li Anguo.
"Big brother, I was wrong." Li Anmin exchanged tears, "It was Suning who told me, eldest brother, your body is no longer good, and there is only the last breath left, I, I acted like this."
"Shut up!" Li Anguo looked at Li Anmin with some anger: "Anmin, you have disappointed me too much, with your own selfish interests, but you ignore our Li clan. My body is gone, I only have one breath left, you get this news, shouldn't you hurry back and see your own big brother for the last time? Oh, I was wrong, you came, you came day and night with soldiers and horses, and you wanted to step on your eldest brother's corpse again, didn't you? ”
"Not really!" Li Anmin cried loudly.
"An Min, have you forgotten? You and I were young and poor, and our parents died early, and once you fell ill and had a high fever that did not go away, and it was your brother who carried you on his back, and ran all the way for twenty miles on a snowy day, and forced the doctor to treat you with a knife. You forget, when there is only one bowl of rice left in the house, your eldest brother will always serve you this last bowl of rice. In winter, we only have a padded jacket, and the big brother is also on you." Li Anguo's voice became lower and lower, and he was almost speechless at the end.
"Big brother, I was wrong." Li Anmin prostrated to the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
"Don't forget each other." Li Anguo looked at Li Anmin, who was bruised on his forehead, and said, "Anmin, you have forgotten our brotherhood, and you have forgotten what our brothers said when they established Huaide Hall."
"Big brother, I'm just not angry why it's Li Ze!" Li Anmin choked up and said, "Che'er died in his hands. How can such a brother-killer be the leader of my Li family? ”
"Shut up!" The green tendons on Li Anguo's forehead burst out, "Che'er died at the hands of Lu Longren, this is a foregone conclusion. How can you listen to Fei Zhong's nonsense."
Li Anmin opened his mouth, Li Anguo asserted that Li Che's death was not Li Ze's doing, how could he not understand the meaning. There is no empirical evidence for this matter, it is all based on everyone's speculation, and it is okay to talk about it in private, but it is impossible to get it on the table.
Li Anguo took a deep breath and said, "Anmin, it's not that I underestimate you, if I really die, help you to ascend to the position, with your talent and virtue, you can't afford to become virtuous at all. Do you think I haven't considered making you the envoy of this virtuous festival? I had fantasized that you would be the envoy of this festival, because Ze'er was already about to conquer the sea. But in this way, Chengde himself is about to split. Cao Xin will be willing to live under you, can your talent be compared with him? Is Suning willing to let you ride on his head? You look down on him, don't you? But when there are Lu Long people standing behind him, and people like Fei Zhong standing, are you their opponent? I can now imagine what kind of situation it is, that is, Yizhou has turned its back, Shenzhou has separated from you, Fei Zhong and these people will inevitably prompt Suning to fight with you, so that they Lulong people can calmly divide and divide among them, and then completely control my Chengde region, at that time, where will the Li clan exist? At that time, Suning may still be alive to be a stabbing history, you, and our Huaide Hall, I am afraid that it will be wiped out."
Li Anmin hung his head and was silent.
"If I really do this, Li Ze will also turn against you, he now has the land of Sizhou, and he has colluded with the imperial court, and he will inevitably meet you at that time, look at his methods, are you his opponent? If the two Li compete with each other, it will only be other people who will benefit when the time comes."
"And I take Li Ze as the heir, then the four states of Chengde plus the four states of Henghai, the land controlled by my Li family, I have eight states, in the breadth of the territory, we can almost be compared with Lulong, Hedong, and look at Li Ze's means of governing Wuyi and other places, I am afraid that it will not take a few years, and this northern land will be respected by my Li family. An Min, do you think I am willing to help Li Ze ascend to the throne just because he is my son? ”
Speaking of this, Li Anguo Huo Ran stood up, pointed to the wall inlaid with the spiritual seat of the ancestor of the Li family, and scolded sharply: "An Min, don't you want to occupy a prominent position here in a hundred years, and be worshiped by the descendants of the Li family from generation to generation, and the cigarettes will not stop?" ”
"Do you want me to die as the Second of the Lees?"
shouted and asked sharply one after another, and finally completely crushed Li Anmin, and he fell to the ground and cried.
Li Anguo sat down panting, gasping for a long time before he said coldly: "Next, you have thought about the ancestral spirit card in Huaide Hall, right?" Think about what you've done, think about it, how is it beneficial to the Li clan? ”
Li Anmin raised his head crying, "Is the eldest brother ready to kill me?" ”
"If I want to kill you, why do I need to bring you to this Huaide Hall?" Li Anguo sighed, "I'm old, I don't want to lose any more relatives at this time, and I put you in Huaide Hall just to keep you alive. What to do with you in the future, let Li Ze decide. You don't have to serve as the assassin of Zhaozhou anymore."
"Big brother!"
"Needless to say, I've made up my mind!" Li Anguo said sharply: "Yuan Zhou has gone to Zhaozhou, he will replace you as the assassin of Zhaozhou, Li Bo is a different driver, commanding the troops and horses, and launching a general attack on Zhenwu. At this time, Li Bo should have arrived in the army, and the battle for the general attack on Zhenwu is almost beginning at this time."
"In the Shenzhou direction, generals such as Du Teng and Hu XII will also launch a general attack in the direction of Yingzhou. At the same time, Jingzhou Liu Chenglin will also send troops, Li Ze after taking Henghai, the army will also be from Cangzhou to Jingzhou, this battle, we not only have to take Yizhou, Dingzhou, but also to capture Yingzhou of the Lulong people, in this way, our fundamental land, will have enough strategic depth, with these reliance, then we have the capital to talk to Lulong Zhang Zhongwu and Hedong Gao Biao on an equal footing, and the people, and only at this time will the Li family really embark on our glorious journey."
Li Anmin looked at Li Anguo with wide eyes.
Li Anguo sighed: "It's a pity, I can't see this day anymore, and you, I will definitely be able to see this day, and at that time, you will finally understand how wise your eldest brother's decision is for the Li family."
Li Anmin lowered his head, no matter what he thought in his heart, but he understood that by this time, everything had become a foregone conclusion and could no longer be changed.
"Uncle, uncle, aunt has fainted, Dr. Jin, please come over immediately." Outside Huaide Hall, Li Yuan's shrill voice came.
Li Anguo and Li Anmin were both shocked. Li Anguo stood up suddenly: "You just think about it here, without my order, you are not allowed to leave Huaide Hall for half a step."
Dropping these words, Li Anguo strode out.
Li Anmin turned his head and looked outside the gate of Huaide Hall, Li Anguo took Li Yuan's hand and left in a hurry, but Li Yuan was also looking back at him, his immature eyes were full of concern, and Li Anmin's heart ached.
With a bang, the door of the Waide Hall was tightly closed by the samurai outside.
"Madame, ma'am!" Holding Su's hand tightly like some dry wood, Li Anguo shouted one after another. For the Su family, just like Li Ze's evaluation, he has respect and no love, but after decades of getting along, he has also fused his blood and become a relative. Seeing Su Shi's anger at this moment, Li Anguo couldn't help but feel sad.
"Jie Shuai, Madame has run out of oil, and the medicine stone is ineffective." Jin Yuan stood on one side with his hands down and said in a low voice.
As if hearing Li Anguo's shout, Su's eyelashes fluttered a few times, but his eyes suddenly opened.
"Madame!" Li Anguo came to her in surprise.
"Sir." Su Shi didn't know where the strength came from, and he actually grabbed Li Anguo's hand tightly with a backhand. Suning, is Suning still alive? ”
Li Anguo nodded vigorously.
"Don't kill him, keep my Su family's cigarettes!" Su Shi gasped and said: "My Su family has died for the great cause of the master, and he is the only one left."
Li Anguo nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, don't worry, I won't kill him, he followed me when he was eighteen years old. How could I kill him."
A smile appeared on Su's face, and his eyes gradually drifted. In Li Anguo's shouts, Su's upper body suddenly stood up, his eyes widened, he looked directly at the top of the tent, and shouted: "Che'er, my mother is here."
The body fell heavily on the bed, and Su Shi was silent again.
