As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there will be a struggle that will not stop!

Datang has begun to take shape, and the struggle will never stop because the war has subsided, but will become more intense and cruel......

To paraphrase an old saying from a previous life: be politically minded. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

What is Political Mind?

In short, be prepared to continue fighting. The so-called far-sightedness is just a grandiose adjective.

In later generations, there was a great man who said: Fighting with the sky is endless, fighting with the earth is endless, fighting with people is endless!

Li Shentong is not a fool, how can he not understand the mystery of this?

However, he is also well aware that he does not have any advantage in future battles. Unlike the other Li clansmen, they either followed Li Yuan from the beginning and fought side by side. For example, Lee Hyo-gi; Or he is a man who dominates one side, holds great power, and has made outstanding achievements. For example, Li Shuliang, Li Baiju, Li Deliang...... Li Shentong did not participate in the planning of the Taiyuan army at the beginning, and after the Taiyuan army, he was forced to flee to Nanshan, and he did not contribute more than half of his efforts in the matter of Li Yuan's entry into the Guanzhong. The reason why he can be valued by Li Yuan is because of his identity as a member of the Li clan. It may be better now, but in the future......

Li Shentong had to plan for the future.

He has a good relationship with Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, which can be used as a guarantee.

But if there is more protection, who can say no? From the current point of view, among the Li clan, I am afraid that Li Xiaoji's father and son are the strongest.

Li Xiaoji, as Zong Zhengqing, was crowned King Yong, and worshiped the governor of Shaanzhou, which can be described as a powerful faction.

And his son, the mysterious figure who had never appeared in the Li family tree and was not even known to many people, was sitting in front of him.

After coming to Xingyang, Li Shentong understood Li Yanqing's strength.

Xue Shui, a member of the Xue clan in Hedong, the son of Xue Daoheng, and the adopted son of Xue Ru.

Du Ruhui, a member of the Jingzhao Du family, is the grandson of Du Fazhen of the Buddhist clan, who was born as a Jinshi during the Great Cause period, and is now in charge of one party.

Yao Yi, a member of the Yao clan of Kipshi......

The eldest grandson Wuji, Li Yanqing's brother-in-law, and the founding general of the Sui Dynasty, is known as the son of the eldest grandson Sheng, who is comparable to the flying general of Longcheng. In the future, I am afraid that he will be the head of Perak Hall, and he will also be quite popular among the generals who return to the Tang Dynasty. Now stationed in Niuzhukou, controlling Xing and managing important places, the means are quite clever.

These four people all have a bright future.

Counting Xu Shiji of Jijun, Li Yanqing's wife and brother Pei Xingyan, and Li Yanqing's general Su Dingfang, I am afraid that I will borrow the talents of the Governor Town.

This does not include the influence of Li Yanqing's wife, the barbarian princess Yuwenduo, in the Minshu region.

There are countless plotters, and there are many fierce generals...... Not to mention anything else, in terms of Yanqing's four major guards, it is enough to make Li Shentong salivate!

This is Mingli, Li Yanqing's strength that has been placed on the table.

What about the secrets?

How much of Li Yanqing's secrets have not been revealed? Even if Li Yanqing is no longer in power in the future, with the ability of his father and son, with the loyalty of his planners and friends, with his means and intelligence...... Li Shentong couldn't even think of anyone in Chang'an who dared not to be afraid of Yanqing.

This guy's capital is too strong!

It is so strong that Li Yuan will be helpless. Of course, Li Yuan's love for Yanqing will also be a great talisman for Li Yanqing. If you don't join forces with such a person and become friends with such a person, what kind of allies can Li Shentong find?

Li Yanqing was a little dazed at first.

But he quickly figured out Li Shentong's thoughts.

In fact, why didn't he want to gain allies in the clan? Li Daoxuan is one of them, so Li Shentong will add more chips to him.

So, he laughed, "Uncle is polite, if Brother Daoyan wants to stay in Gong County, I can't ask for it." ”

Li Shentong exhaled lightly, and this big stone in his heart was finally put back in his stomach.

The misunderstanding has been resolved, and it is naturally a song and dance. It's just that Li Shentong was happy, but Zheng Hongyi on the side was at a loss and didn't know what to do.

The pressure exerted by Li Yanqing on the Zheng family still exists!

"Brother Yanqing......"

After Li Shentong's father and son left, Zheng Hongyi stepped forward with some embarrassment.

Li Yanqing snorted and ignored him.

Li Daoxuan still couldn't stand it, and said softly: "Sixth brother, Zheng Gongzi called you." ”

According to the order of the Li family tree, in Li Yanqing's generation, Yanqing is six, and Li Shimin is seven. It's just that because Li Shimin's identity is different now, everyone calls him the second brother. In fact, Li Yanqing is a few months older than Li Shimin.

"Shut up!"

Li Yanqing raised his head, his eyes cold.

Li Daoxuan wanted to say a few words for Zheng Hongyi, but after being glared at by Yan Qing, he immediately closed his mouth.

My God, the sixth brother is in a frenzy, I'm afraid the second brother can't compare......

Yan Qing took a deep breath, and after a long time, he sighed, "Hongyi, I know that you can't help yourself." I can't blame you for this, in terms of identity, my uncle is higher than you; In terms of seniority, Zheng Gong is also better than you. But I'm angry, and you should let me know even if you can't help yourself. Even if it's a letter, even if it's a simple word, I won't blame you...... But you, silently, followed! If I hadn't been prepared, wouldn't I have to eat that horse this time? The most hateful, you actually went to help other people to calculate me? ”

"I don't have ......"

"Shut up!"

Zheng Hongyi stood aggrievedly aggrieved, but he didn't dare to speak again.

grew up with Yanqing since he was a child, and followed Yanqing to fight in Goguryeo. In Zheng Xing's matter back then, he didn't stand on Yan Qing's side, and Yan Qing didn't blame him. Later, he was rewarded by the imperial court, but the biggest hero lived in seclusion for three years without gain.

Zheng Hongyi knows a lot about Yanqing's power.

It was a heartfelt awe...... And this time, he did make mistakes first.

"Before my grandfather passed away, he ordered me to take good care of the Zheng family.

I've been doing this all these years. Hongyi, you patted your chest and said, in the past few years, I have treated your Zheng family, but there is a difference of half a point? ”

Zheng Hongyi, I don't know how to speak.

"Forget it, I can't blame you for this time.

Go back and tell Zheng Gong that it is not necessary to implement the apportionment into the mu, but the rent adjustment must be implemented...... This is good for your Zheng family. ”

"Huh?"

Zheng Hongyi raised his head and looked at Li Yanqing in surprise.

Yan Qing didn't explain to him again. Is it difficult to tell Zheng Hongyi that in a few years, the whole country will implement the law of rent adjustment, and your Zheng family is at the forefront, in fact, it is to set an example for the people of the world. If you set a good example, the emperor will never treat you badly.

The rent adjustment was implemented in the early Tang Dynasty, and was replaced by the two tax laws by the time of Dezong......

Spread into acres?

Li Yanqing thought about it or denied it!

This may be enforced as a future tax law.

One hundred years from now, two hundred years from now, when the time comes, people will naturally think of this law. But now...... Li Yanqing is not arrogant enough to dare to go against all the world's worlds. Not to mention anything else, if he really dared to carry it out, Du Ruhui and they would definitely turn their backs on him.

Zheng Hongyi didn't know what the rent was in tune, but when Yan Qing said this, he knew that Yan Qing forgave him.

"Brother Zhen......"

"Who gave you permission to call my word?"

Li Yanqing's face changed, and Zheng Hongyi was so frightened that he closed his mouth again.

"Sixth brother, don't scare Hongyi anymore, Hongyi regrets it these days."

"He deserves it...... Who made him not remember how easy it was back then, and actually teamed up with others to calculate me? ”

"Brother Yan Qing, I didn't calculate you. Besides, from beginning to end, it seems like you're scheming on me. ”

Li Yanqing stood up and put his arms around Zheng Hongyi's neck, "I said that you calculated me, you calculated me...... Also, when I got married, you actually dared to stumble on me, if it weren't for my brother's real talent in his belly, I was afraid that even the family affairs would be disturbed by you.

Damn, I wanted to pour you a few cups, but you guy ran away first. ”

Zheng Hongyi was strangled out of breath, but he was so happy in his heart.

It feels like when I was in Goguryeo...... After returning from Goguryeo, Brother Yan Qing never messed with me like this again.

"Brother Yan Qing, you ordered me to do this!

For this matter, I have been cleaned up by the second lady several times. Why are you blaming me again...... It's not fair. ”

"Hugh wants to be fair, I'm helping Lao Xu get angry.

You used to call his brother-in-law a lot of fun, right...... That guy remembers, he's looking for a chance to clean you up. ”

When Zheng Hongyi heard this, he immediately laughed.

He is several years younger than Xu Shiji, and when he was a child, he called Xu Shiji's brother. It's just that after Xu Shiji married Zheng Hongyi's sister, he was often called his brother-in-law by Zheng Hongyi. This surname is as if Li Yanqing called Pei Xingyan his younger brother, which belongs to the same kind.

After playing for a while, Li Yanqing let go of Zheng Hongyi.

The three of them sat down on the porch, made tea with Yanqing, and chatted without a word.

Li Daoxuan went to Yingchuan with Ma Sanbao, but found a great guy for Yanqing. This person's name is Zhu Cang, and he is known as a cold thief.

Originally, it was a Jianghuai clan and participated in an expedition to Goguryeo.

Coincidentally, Zhu Cang turned out to be a water army.

At the time of the defeat of Pyongyang, Zhu Cang still saw a fire in Li Yanqing's camp in Nanshui, so he saved his surname. Later, when he returned to the Central Plains with the army, he returned home after illness. When Jianghuai bandits were rampant, Zhu Cang's family was ruined, so he gathered people to rebel, and he was quite powerful.

It's just that......

After Fang Xuanling arrived in Danyang County, he defeated Zhu Cang in one fell swoop.

Then Zhu Cang was defeated by Wang Shichong from Lu Mingyue, and fled to Yingchuan County and became the king of the mountain.

There are more than 800 bandits under his command, and his combat effectiveness is extremely strong. When Ma Sanbao and Zhu Cang started contacting, Zhu Cang still didn't quite agree. However, later someone recognized Ma Sanbao's origin, and Zhu Cang heard that Ma Sanbao was Li Yanqing's person, so without saying a word, he agreed to Ma Sanbao's conditions.

Li Daoxuan returned, but Ma Sanbao stayed in Yingchuan, and together with Zhu Cang, attacked Li Mi's flank.

"Sixth brother, do you really plan to let Li Mi come into contact with the little emperor?"

Previously, Wang Shichong sent Zhang Yin, a eunuch in the palace, to make peace with Li Yanqing.

Its purpose was to gain Li Yanqing's support and establish himself as king. However, Wang Shichong did not expect that Zhang Yin, that is, Lu Yin, would be Yang Tong's person. Yang Tong took advantage of Lu Yin's departure from the palace to bring a letter to Li Yanqing. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by Li Mi.

Li Mi gained Lu Yin's trust, but Lu Yin still had to go to Xingyang to meet Li Yanqing.

However, it happened that Yanqing crossed the river to attack Hanoi, causing Lu Yin to go empty. However, he still left two letters to Li Yanqing before returning to Luoyang. In early June, Wang Shichong, in collusion with the Turkic Shibi Khan, seems to have lost interest in Yanqing.

But Li Mi is very active, hoping to take this opportunity to control Yang Tong.

Yang Tong also borrowed the hand of Lu Yin, and slowly contacted a group of former ministers loyal to the Sui family. For example, Shangshi Zhichang (Zheng Qipin) Yuwen Wen, who was in charge of the palace meal, and then through Yuwen Wen, he contacted Shangshu Zuo Cheng (Zheng Sipin) Yuwen Rutong. In this way, Yang Tong can be regarded as getting in touch with the outside world. Through this line, he formed an alliance with Cui Deben, a freelancer (from the third rank).

This also allowed Yang Tong to gain a way to communicate with the outside world.

And Li Mi expressed his loyalty by secretly contacting Cui Deben and Yuwen Rutong.

However, all this was learned by Li Yanqing through Qilintai's eyeliner in Luoyang......

Li Mi's thoughts, Yan Qing saw it very clearly.

Will he be loyal to Yang Tong?

That's just a joke!

Li Mi is such an arrogant person, and the person he admires in his life is probably only one Yang Su.

Even Yang Guang didn't pay attention to him, how could he work for Yang Tong? The reason why I did this is because I still value the beauty of this coercion of the Son of Heaven to order the princes.

Has Li Mi ever done this in history?

Yan Qing can't remember clearly.

But even if he did, it would definitely end in failure.

Because Li Yanqing remembered that Luoyang finally fell into the hands of Wang Shichong. If Li Mi succeeds, maybe this history will be a different situation.

Li Daoxuan asked, but Yan Qing smiled.

"If you say you are a thief, you will be a thief for life.

Although the emperor is young and his surname is kind, he is not necessarily a fool. How could he easily trust Li Mi? Li Mi wants to belong to the emperor......

Hehe, if you don't show enough sincerity, I'm afraid it's impossible! ”

Sincerity?

Li Daoxuan and Zheng Hongyi glanced at each other, and couldn't help but show a confused look.
