In Chang'an, a team of majestic cars stopped in front of the Taishi Mansion, and a person walked out of the mansion surrounded by the left and right, it was Yang Jian, the son of the Sui State, who came out of the palace this time to visit the seriously ill Taishi Li Mu.

Taishi Li Mu has been sick in bed for more than a month, and he is about to run out of oil, so Yang Jian can be regarded as the last time to see him, according to his age, Li Mu is his father, and he is also the most powerful person who supports him as the Son of Heaven.
It is precisely because of his meritorious service that Li Mu is a very popular minister, and more than 100 children in his family are officials in the court, even if they are still infants, they are all honored with honors, and they are extremely noble.
Li Mu's son, Li Ya, turned back to the bedroom after sending off the Son of Heaven, and couldn't help but be gloomy when he saw his pale father.
"Is Your Majesty gone?" Li Mu asked, his breath faint.
"Father, Your Majesty has returned to the palace."
"Bring him here."
Li Ya nodded and then turned to leave, and after a while, he walked in with a person, who couldn't see his true face clearly with his face covered, and knelt down immediately in front of Li Mu's couch: "Father." ”
"I am no longer your father, and you are not my son."
"Father!"
The man kept kowtowing, Li Ya stood aside with a gloomy expression, and he didn't dissuade him.
Li Mu has more than a dozen sons, the eldest son, the second son died early, and several sons died in the king's affairs, Li Ya is the eldest among the sons, and the one kneeling on the ground in front of him is Li Mu's unfilial son, Li Rong.
Not long ago, Li Rong asked for an official position for his young son, and the Son of Heaven agreed, but Li Mu was angry, thinking that Li Rong's behavior was insulting and threatening the court, and asked the Son of Heaven to take back his fate.
The Son of Heaven mediated many times, but Li Mu just refused, and finally expelled Li Rong from the house, and the father and son broke off.
Kowtowed a lot, Li Rong's forehead was bruised, and seeing that his younger brother was a little fluttering, Li Ya hurriedly stepped forward to help him, and then looked at Li Mu: "Father, Jiulang is leaving, let him see his father again." ”
His voice was choked, almost crying, Li Mu lay on the couch and turned his face sideways, quietly looking at his two sons, especially Li Rong, who had been expelled from the house by himself.
"According to what I said that day, Kuro... Li Rong is no longer from my Li family. ”
"The children of the family, no longer have contact with Li Rong, no matter how difficult Li Rong's family is in the future, no one is allowed to help him."
Speaking of this, Li Mu coughed violently, Li Ya stepped forward to help his father rub his back when he saw this, and after a while, the cough eased slightly, and Li Mu continued: "Similarly, if the Li family falls in the future and the family is ruined, it has nothing to do with you Li Rong!" ”
Li Rong was speechless and just burst into tears, and now, he can only part ways with the family according to the previous agreement, kowtow to his father again, and then cover his face and follow Li Ya away.
The last meeting between father and son made Li Mu exhaust most of his energy, and the time left in the world was running out.
His children and grandchildren are all rich and noble, and he doesn't have too many regrets, and the only thing he can do is to use another way to leave a bloodline for the Li family just in case.
In the seventy-seven years of life, Li Mu has experienced too many things, it doesn't matter whether it is right or wrong, only letting the family's bloodline pass on is the most important thing.
More than 50 years ago, a large-scale rebellion broke out in the Guanlong area of the Wei State, and the imperial court sent troops into Guanzhong to quell the rebellion.
Li Mu and his two brothers have made many military exploits and become the Yuan Cong of Yuwentai, and they have gone through ups and downs together.
In the Great War of the Eastern and Western Wei Dynasty, the Battle of Bishan, and the chaotic army, Li Mu was in a hurry to save Yuwentai, who was hit by an arrow and fell from his horse, and the fate of the three Li brothers was tightly tied to Yuwen's.
Yuwentai is seriously ill but his son is young, so Yuwentai asked his nephew Yuwenhu to assist his son and protect Yuwen's country, but this person killed two cousins one after another.
Li Sanlang Li Yuan, because his son planned to overthrow Yuwen Hu, he was forced to commit suicide, and his son was almost killed by Yuwen Hu, and in the end, Li Erlang Li Mu was willing to exchange one of his sons for his life and leave a blood for his younger brother Li Yuan.
The followers of the Yuwen clan were divided into the imperial party and the Jin king's internal fighting, in order to keep the throne of Yuwentai's son, the Li brothers shed too much blood, and among the Jin king's henchmen, there were two brothers, Wei Chi Hui and Yu Chi Gang, which made Li Mu grit his teeth.
Bastard Bo Juluo, be Yuwenhu's accomplice, are you worthy of your uncle!
Therefore, in May of the second year of the elephant, Wei Chi Hui was ready to raise troops against Yang in Yecheng and invited Li Mu to join the matter, Li Mu did not hesitate to arrest the envoy and send it to Chang'an.
Yuwen's country, they have done their best, Yuwentai's unscrupulous descendants are not angry, and it has nothing to do with him Li Mu, the Li family has already shed too much blood for Yuwen's family, and they don't want to toss anymore.
Yang Jian and Wei Chi Yuan, Li Mu would never choose Wei Chi Yuan, so he stood on Yang Jian's side, even if the other party later usurped the throne to replace Zhou with Sui, it didn't matter to Li Mu, the future of the Li family was the focus of his consideration.
Hundreds of his sons are officials, full of wealth, and he is worthy of his ancestors.
Thinking of this, the strength of the whole body gradually dissipated, Li Mu felt that his body was gradually getting cold, the limit was approaching, and he had no regrets, but he felt a little guilty about his ninth son Li Rong, and in order to keep the bloodline of the family, he could only wronged this son.
The situation in the Sui State has stabilized, and it is said that there will be no problems, so Li Mu feels that his children and grandchildren should be able to enjoy wealth and prosperity, of course, what will happen when the new emperor succeeds to the throne in a few years is no longer his business.
should have left here, but now the situation is a little delicate, Zhou Guo has been honest for two years, I don't know what others think, but Li Mu always feels unsteady, he thinks that something big must happen.
What else can be a big deal, it is nothing more than the Zhou army attacking with all its might, Yecheng's Wei Chi Yuan, who is a few years older than him, does not seem to have a few years to live, with Li Mu's understanding of Wei Chi Yuan, it is not difficult to guess that this old opponent is going to fight hard.
The Sui State should be able to get through it, and after it gets through, it will be Yang Jian's turn to exert his strength, but what if he can't get through it? So Li Mu has to find a way.
If the Sui State is still there, then the Li family is still rich and noble, and Li Rong, who was driven out of the house, can only live a hard life, and no one in the Li family will recognize him as his own family anymore, even if he is desperate and begging along the street, no one will help him.
If the Zhou army invaded Chang'an, Wei Chi Hui would not let go of the "rebellious" Li Mu's descendants when he was liquidated, then Li Rong's family would have a chance to survive the Great Purge and leave a trace of blood.
This is the way for the family to survive in troubled times.
Helpless choice, but no matter what, let the family blood pass on, even if it is a multi-sided bet, for hundreds of years, there are countless examples of this.
Thinking of this, there was no more worry, the last trace of will dissipated, the vision was hazy, the surroundings gradually became quiet, and the only thing that echoed in the ears was the hearty laughter: "Li Xianqing, good name, I am Yuwentai, it's okay to call me a black otter!"
