In history, Li Zixiong's ending was very miserable, destroying the entire clan.

Before Yang Xuan moved the mutiny, the Holy Lord suddenly ordered the arrest of Li Zixiong, Li Zixiong fled for his life, and then Yang Xuangan was impatient to mutiny, more than a month earlier than the best mutiny. At that time, the expeditionary force had not yet crossed the Yalu water, and the sailors had not crossed the sea for the expedition, so the two armies of the water 6 quickly killed the eastern capital, and this was one of the important reasons why Yang Xuangan failed to capture the eastern capital as he wished.

Why did Yang Xuangan hastily raise troops in early June? Yang Xuangan's hasty raising of troops is directly related to the Holy Lord's arrest of Li Zixiong? Did the Holy Lord arrest Li Zixiong because he had some conclusive evidence related to the mutiny?

History has not given an answer, and the truth has been annihilated in the long river of time, but Li Fengyun, based on his own deduction, believes that the reason why Yang Xuangan hastily raised troops in early June must be directly related to the Holy Lord's arrest of Li Zixiong, and the reason why the Holy Lord wants to arrest Li Zixiong must also have some definite evidence related to the mutiny, and the provider of these evidences is from the Donglai Water Division.

Li Zixiong went directly to the Donglai Water Division after the defeat of the First Eastern Crusade "Comeback", and his position was high and powerful, and his power in the Water Division should be second only to Lai Hu'er and Zhou Fashang, and higher than the long history Cui Junsu, plus Li Zixiong is a veteran figure in the military and political worlds, whether it is qualifications, merits or strategy, it is enough to compete with Lai Hu'er and Zhou Fashang, which gives Li Zixiong the strength and motivation to compete for the control of the water division. It is foreseeable that if Li Zixiong suddenly becomes difficult at the critical moment of the sailor's expedition to cross the sea, and he will wipe out Lai Hu'er, Zhou Fashang, Cui Junsu, and the middle and senior officers who are loyal to them, then the sailor will be under Li Zixiong's control. At that moment, Yang Xuangan raised troops in Liyang, Li Zixiong responded with a water division, and the two armies advanced with 6 waters, and directly killed the eastern capital, and the victory was in hand.

If this deduction is true, then it must be the three commanders of the water division, Lai Hu'er, Zhou Fashang and Cui Junsu, or one of them, who sued Li Zixiong for his ill intentions and conspiracy, and Li Zixiong's practice not only endangered the Holy Lord's control of the Water Master, but also endangered the Second Eastern Crusade, how could the Holy Lord tolerate it? Of course, it is necessary to issue an order to remove Li Zixiong from his post at the first time, and arrest Li Zixiong to the palace to ask for guilt, and Li Zixiong is a conservative patriarch, and has been defeated twice by the Holy Lord and the reformers, but it is only three, Li Zixiong is the enemy of the Holy Lord and the reformers again and again, especially the victory or defeat of the Second Eastern Crusade is related to the life and death of the Holy Lord and the reformers, just imagine how can the Holy Lord forgive Li Zixiong again? He must be seized as an opportunity to cut off his head in order to fight and retaliate against the conservative forces.

Li Zixiong knew that he would die, of course, he fled halfway, but when the news that Li Zixiong was arrested by the Holy Lord's order reached Yang Xuangan's ears, the reaction was very different, because Li Zixiong was not only Yang Xuangan's like-minded political ally, but also one of the core members of the earth-shattering plan to overthrow the Holy Lord by violent means.

The people who participated in this plan were not only Yang Xuangan, Li Zixiong, and Li Mi, but also several important people, that is, Hu Sizheng, the squire of the military department, who presided over the daily affairs of the military department, and he was now by the side of the Holy Lord; Si Nongqing, General Zuo Yiwei, and Zhao Yuanshu, who is in charge of the palace guard, is now also by the Holy Lord's side; There is also a heavyweight who is the supreme commander of the Northwest Army, who is in charge of the military and political power of the thirteen counties of Longyou, and he is now in Honghua City, the headquarters of the Northwest Army, less than 800 miles away from Xijing.

These heavyweights are surrounded by cronies, and there are also spies who have been bought by political enemies or secretly deployed, so there is a possibility of leaking secrets if they are not careful. Li Zixiong was arrested, whether it was his own reasons or the leakage from others, Yang Xuangan had to face a cruel choice, whether to stand still and risk being purged by the Holy Lord one by one, and respond passively, or make a desperate bet, resolutely raise troops, and actively confront? Although the latter is also in danger of being killed and annihilated, the former is tied and allowed to be slaughtered, once something happens, there is no chance of resistance, and the latter is chosen, once it succeeds, it is the disparity between heaven and earth, and it can even usurp the country and claim the emperor. Yang Xuangan chose the latter without hesitation.

However, it is difficult for Li Fengyun to choose at this moment, after he repeatedly analyzed and deduced the trade-offs, in order to pull Li Zixiong, a veteran, into his camp, Yang Lan and Wei Fusi, the king of Qi, actually used their own "traitor" to "kidnap" him, and the "kidnapping" was successful, but it was not the King of Qi who "kidnapped" Li Zixiong, but Li Zixiong "kidnapped" the King of Qi, once Li Zixiong continued to walk according to the historical trajectory, he will participate in Yang Xuangan's mutiny, so that the problem is strict, and the mutiny fails, Although Li Zixiong wants to exterminate the clan, the king of Qi will not escape the system, and he will definitely be chased and beaten by his political enemies, and the consequences can be imagined.

Is it possible to change history and resolutely prevent Li Zixiong from participating in Yang Xuangan's mutiny? Li Zixiong did not participate in the mutiny, could he have escaped the catastrophe of the death of the clan? As long as Li Zixiong escapes this catastrophe, of course, it will not affect Yang Lan, the king of Qi.

Li Fengyun immediately rejected the idea. This possibility is not very likely, after the failure of Yang Xuangan's mutiny, the Holy Lord and the reformers took advantage of this golden opportunity to kill the conservative forces in the court, and launched an almost crazy counterattack, at that time there is no need for a reason to kill, as long as you are a conservative, a political enemy of the Holy Lord and the reformers, and in the process of Yang Xuangan's mutiny, support, neutrality, ambiguity, and even although opposed but did not make an opposition to the act, whether it belongs to Yang Xuangan's political group or not, are the targets of punishment. Li Zixiong is precisely the target of the Holy Lord and the reformers who are bound to kill him quickly, how can he escape this catastrophe? Li Zixiong couldn't escape this catastrophe, but the king of Qi Yang Lan and Wei Fusi now "kidnapped" him together to form a political alliance, and the result is self-evident, it is difficult for King Qi and Wei Fusi not to die.

What to do? Li Fengyun's mind flashed, and he made one choice after another, but they were all vetoed, and in the end there was only one way left, that is, to persuade Li Zixiong to betray his political allies, betray his oath, and after Yang Xuangan's mutiny, assist the King of Qi with Wei Fusi, attack Yang Xuangan, and quell the rebellion.

Although this is also a huge risk, under the anger of his political allies, he will definitely fight back and put him to death, but Li Zixiong has won the opportunity to fight back because of his meritorious counterinsurgency, and he has been "tied" together with the king of Qi, forming a close community of interests, and fighting Li Zixiong is to fight the king of Qi, and the holy lord and reformers take into account the storm howling, the turmoil of the country, and the wind and rain in the eastern capital, and then open up the "demon" of the battle for imperial unity, and open up a battlefield, And then at a time when the aristocracy was killing each other, the human tragedy of father and son killing each other and brother was increasing the human tragedy, which would definitely expand the danger of this storm, and once the danger was out of control, there would be the danger of the collapse of the country, so it is certain that in order to control the danger of this storm within a controllable range, the Holy Lord and the reformers would inevitably let Li Zixiong go for the time being, so the general direction of the situation in Middle-earth after the mutiny was still advancing on the inherent historical trajectory, so that it would not affect Li Fengyun's future planning.

However, it is too difficult to convince Li Zixiong to betray his political allies and political goals, who is Li Zixiong? Who is Li Fengyun? It's simply impossible.

Li Fengyun was silent in thought. Li Zixiong didn't urge, his face was calm, and his eyes were indifferent, but no matter how he looked at this kind of "calmness", it gave people an intriguing feeling. Wei Fusi was very patient, sitting on the side and waiting, he knew that Li Zixiong's sudden appearance had a great impact on Li Fengyun, and Li Fengyun needed time to analyze and judge and weigh the pros and cons.

Li Fengyun suddenly had a flash of inspiration, since I am determined to participate in the mutiny, and I am determined to use this mutiny to complete my plan to go north, then why not take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in front of me?

This mutiny dragged on for a long time, and there were too many political forces caught in it, and the danger to the country was even greater, and it became more and more unfavorable to the Holy Lord and the reformers. In exchange for the support of the local nobles of Guanlong and the victory of this mutiny, as well as the continuation of the relative control of the reformist government, the government was destroyed and part of its interests to the local government of Guanlong.

In this unfavorable situation, the Holy Lord and the reformers have not only lost the opportunity to fight back against the conservative forces, but on the contrary, they must unite the forces that can be united, and concede the interests of the government to the various political groups, including the king of Qi, Yang Lan, after all, the political status of the king of Qi Yang Lan is very special, and at present, it is only a disguised political banishment, and he has not lost the qualification of the first heir to the imperial system in the law, once the conservative forces join forces, The Guanlong people and the Heluo people worked together to put Yang Lan, the king of Qi, on the throne of the emperor and open the curtain of the civil war, and the Holy Lord and the reformers, whose authority had already fallen to the lowest point, were very likely to be defeated and defeated.

So Li Fengyun was wrong at the beginning, he was shackled on the inherent historical trajectory, and he didn't expect that he already had the strength to change a certain historical detail, once the mutiny lasted for a longer time, the political situation would unfold in a different direction, and even if the Holy Lord and the reformers knew that King Yang Lan of Qi had had deep contact with Li Zixiong, and even had a brief political alliance, they would not be able to use this to attack King Yang Lan of Qi.

Since Yang Nan, the king of Qi, is "safe and sound", what Li Fengyun has to do now is to do his best to win the trust of Li Zixiong, a military and political veteran, and then join this mutiny, and with the protection of Li Zixiong, a big backer, Li Fengyun is confident that he will grasp part of the initiative in the mutiny, and use this part of the initiative to guide the mutiny in the direction he needs, otherwise he will only be a "chess piece" of Yang Xuangan, and if he cannot affect Yang Xuangan's decision-making, he will inevitably fall into passivity and will not be able to change the process of this mutiny at all.

Li Fengyun made a decision and bowed to Wei Fusi, "Can you talk to Jianchang in private?"
