Chapter 418: Li Hun's Choice
Li Hun has to make a choice, and this choice is too difficult for him, one step to heaven, one step to hell, a dilemma.
There was nothing wrong with King Qi's strategy, the mistake was that the time when this strategy was used was very inappropriate. This is a lesson from the past, when the first emperor to the Han King Yang Liang sat in the northern Xinjiang, the original intention was to hope that the brothers would join hands to protect the country, which was expected that the first emperor had just died, the Han King Yang Liang raised troops to rebel, and the result was that the brothers were on the wall, fratricidal, although the holy lord did laugh to the end, but in the face of the human tragedy, in the face of the corpses all over the road to the heir, the lonely and lonely holy lord is not laughing, but crying.
Now the King of Qi, the only candidate for the prince in the inheritance law, if he goes to the northern Xinjiang, it is "self-exile", for him, it may be to understand the difficulties of the Holy Lord, it is filial piety, and the choice of the Holy Lord to reform the succession of the imperial system is very beneficial, but as far as the Holy Lord is concerned, he must first bear the political pressure of "exile" the only prince in disguise and publicly deprive him of the right to inherit the imperial system, and secondly, he must take into account the real purpose of the King of Qi's "self-exile", in order to avoid the King of Qi repeating the mistakes of the Han King Yang Liang, he had to take precautions, In this way, King Qi's move not only did not help the Holy Lord effectively alleviate the current political crisis, but further aggravated and expanded the political crisis, leaving the Holy Lord in a deeper, more complex and dangerous political predicament.
So, will the Holy Lord compromise with the King of Qi and send the King of Qi to suppress the northern frontier? This depends on the development of the situation in the Eastern Capital, and on the judgment of the Holy Lord and the Center on the relationship between the North and the South.
If the situation in the eastern capital is too sinister, the Holy Lord has no choice but to compromise, after all, the King of Qi is a "hidden danger" in the future, as long as the Holy Lord solves the current crisis, there will be time to deal with the King of Qi in the future, and the suppression of the northern frontier does not mean that the king of Qi can divide the northern Xinjiang, as for the hegemony according to the northern Xinjiang, it will be even more distant, there are countless uncertain variables during the period, and there is no need to consider this potential possibility in the short term.
With the failure of the Second Eastern Crusade and the deterioration of the domestic situation in China and Turkey, the North-South relationship will inevitably lead to tension and even rupture, which the Holy Lord and the Central Center see very clearly, the reason why they moved the Eastern Crusade to deter the Northern Empire, stabilize the North-South relations, and build a long-term peaceful Sino-foreign environment to help the reform of the great unification is the core purpose, but against people's wishes, after the two wars and two defeats, not to mention that the purpose of deterring the Northern Invasion and stabilizing the North-South relations cannot be achieved, and even the promotion of reform has become a luxury. Therefore, at this moment, sending King Qi, who is the only candidate for the prince of Middle-earth and the only candidate for the future emperor of Middle-earth, to conquer the northern frontier in the eyes of the Beiyu people is equivalent to clearly conveying to the Beiyu the determination of the Middle Earth to resolutely defend the country, and it can still play a role in deterring, and even play a role in delaying the outbreak of the Civil War.
If the King of Qi gets his wish and conquers the northern frontier, what impact will it have on Li Hun? There are only two possibilities, one is that the Holy Lord took advantage of the situation to drive Li Hun out of the Eastern Capital, "exile" the northern frontier, keep him away from the core layer of the Wei Mansion, and reduce the obstacles of the Holy Lord controlling the Wei Mansion, but the Holy Lord is satisfied, the King of Qi is not satisfied, since the King of Qi is far away from the border of the town, of course he needs a cronie to stay in the capital to maintain an understanding of the political situation in the Eastern Capital, so there is also a possibility that Li Hun will continue to stay in the Eastern Capital, and may even be promoted.
However, both possibilities are unacceptable to Li Hun. The relationship between the north and the south is tense, the civil war will explode at any time, and of course there is merit in winning the war, but the key problem is that only with the ambition of the king of Qi, the holy lord will eradicate his hidden danger, and the civil war is the best opportunity, as long as the holy lord uses a little means, the king of Qi will be defeated, and the defeat of the king of Qi will be over, so the strategy of the king of Qi going north looks very good, in fact, it is to dig his own grave, and in the end it is very likely to evolve into the king of Qi using a "gorgeous" way of death to resist the blow and persecution of the holy lord to him. King Qi died, and Li Hun was buried with him, there is no doubt about it. As for staying in the Eastern Capital, it is more terrible than the northern frontier, Li Hun is equivalent to being trapped in a prison, stretching his neck, and letting it be slaughtered, one day the Holy Lord is in a bad mood, and the knife in his hand falls, Li Hun's head will fall off, and his body will be in a different place.
In any case, if the King of Qi succeeds in making a profit in this mutiny, Li Hun still has the opportunity to choose the future, on the contrary, if the King of Qi is clever but is mistaken by cleverness, and shoots himself in the foot, and does not calculate the Holy Lord, but is calculated by the Holy Lord, and is locked back in the "cage" by the Holy Lord, then Li Hun will have no chance to choose, his fate is only one, of course, death, the premise is that he has always tacitly cooperated with the King of Qi in this mutiny, always sought the interests of the King of Qi, and always put the King of Qi and his personal private interests above the interests of the country and Middle Earth, If he is bent on putting the Holy Lord and the Reformed faction to death, then if he doesn't die, who will die? If the Holy Lord does not kill him, why should he vent his anger?
However, if Li Hun turns his back on the King of Qi, confronts the King of Qi, and helps the Holy Lord to put the King of Qi back in the "cage", Li Hun will inevitably fall into the notoriety of "betraying the Lord", then his character will be even more unbearable, and there will be more people who despise and spurn him, and the Holy Lord is worried that he can't find a chance to drive him out of the Wei Mansion.
Therefore, Li Hun is in a dilemma, one step to heaven and one step to hell, and the so-called heaven is still the paradise of dreams, and he has to count on the king of Qi to achieve the cause of hegemony in the future, otherwise it will still be a bamboo basket.
After thinking about it and weighing it repeatedly, in the end, Li Min's sentence was right, "Anyway, it's all death, why not go north to Daiheng and fight to the death with the north captives, in order to survive in a desperate situation?" β
"Is this the decision of Jianchang Gong (Li Zixiong)?" After a long time, Li Hun finally asked.
Li Min was immediately overjoyed, this trip was not in vain, after Li Hun knew the truth, he really made a difficult choice like his father, went to the northern Xinjiang, and fought to the death with the northern captives, so that even if he died, he would die well, not to seek to be famous for a hundred years, at least to leave some shade for future generations, so as not to let the family passed down from generation to generation be ruined in his own hands.
Looking at the old general in front of him, who was over sixty years old, his temples were white, and his face was full of vicissitudes, Li Min couldn't help but sigh secretly, his father's generation all crawled out of the pile of dead, and all of them were fierce generals in a hundred battles, and the tenacity and courage tempered by the fire of war in their blood made them rather die at a critical moment, and would rather die in battle and be shrouded in horse leather than die humiliatingly under the conspiracy and tricks of political games.
"It was the decision of a certain adult." Li Min's tone is firm and unquestionable.
Li Hun hesitated for a moment and then asked, "Did King Qi persuade Duke Jianchang, or did Duke Jianchang persuade King Qi?" β
"This decision of King Qi originated from Bai." Li Min replied, "After a certain adult arrived in Qilu, Bai persuaded a certain adult again. β
Li Hun understood as soon as he heard it.
The relationship between the King of Qi, Li Zixiong, and Li Hun has always been based on cooperation, and this cooperation will not change unless the King of Qi seizes the imperial throne and becomes the emperor of Middle-earth. This belongs to the cooperation between the political forces, the king of Qi is a political force, even if he enters the East Palace, he is still a political force, and there is no comparison with the emperor's "heaven" general existence. Li Zixiong and the King of Qi use each other, Li Hun and the King of Qi also use each other, maintaining each other's political independence, which leads to the trust between each other is very limited, under normal circumstances, it is impossible to make a big decision related to fate and the future such as "hegemony according to the northern Xinjiang", so Bai Li Fengyun is very critical, and more importantly, the huge force behind Li Fengyun, if there is no existence of this huge force, Li Fengyun has no qualifications to "sit opposite" with King Qi and Li Zixiong.
"In this way, Jianchang Gong should know everything about Bai." Li Hun pointed to the point.
Li Min bowed slightly, and had no intention of concealing it. As Li Fengyun said, if the king of Qi wants to achieve the goal of going north, he must have the strength to control the situation in the eastern capital, and if the king of Qi wants to have this strength, he must get the help of Li Hun, the general of the right Xiaowei, and he must cooperate with the outside to control the situation in the eastern capital. Li Fengyun believes that Li Hun's wisdom is no less than Li Zixiong, and since Li Zixiong has made the right choice, then Li Hun's choice will not be wrong.
"Do you still remember the fact that Daye was born in Yulin in the third year?" Li Min asked.
Li Hun immediately had a speculation, his expression was suddenly solemn, and there was a rare brilliance in his eyes, "White? Bai was the secret soldier back then? The legend who was chased by the Yuwen brothers and had no way to go to the sky? He's still alive? Immediately, Li Hun's brows furrowed, and his right hand holding the long hair suddenly tightened, "Strange, since he escaped that catastrophe, how could he be exposed?" How could Yu Wenshu know about it and escort him back to Beijing all the way? β
Li Hun's mind was in a flash, and he piled up the complicated information together and made a lot of deductions, suddenly raised his eyebrows, and blurted out, "I see, I know, I know, it's a big layout." At present, there are only a few people who have the ability to lay out such an overall situation, and there are two people who are close to Bohai Gong (Gao Ying), but ......" Li Hun suddenly looked up at Li Min and asked sharply, "Sue sΓΉ, who is Bai?" β
"You must know?" Li Min asked.
Knowing who Bai is means that what Li Hun speculated may be accurate, and the head of a wealthy family like Li Hun, the commander who holds real power in the Wei Mansion, once he knows the secret that he should not know, he must bear all the consequences arising from it, and the pros and cons of this are strict, and it is common for the family to be wiped out.
Li Hun hesitated for a moment, and then nodded solemnly, "A certain has been decided, and the Eastern Capital is over, so he rushed to Northern Xinjiang without hesitation." After a pause, he added, "Actually, it's not a good thing to stay away from the center of the storm at its most intense." β
Li Min smiled slightly, "Since this is the case, a certain public wish has been fulfilled." β
