Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

There are Xu Shiyan in the side tent, Li Baiyao, Li Anqi and his son, Cui Jiu, and a young unfamiliar face.

Last month, Li Fengyun asked Xu Shiyun for help, and he needed a batch of boats for transportation. At this moment, the Second Eastern Crusade has begun, and the ships in the north and south of the Great River are transporting grain and grass for the Eastern Crusade, and only shipping giants like Lihu Xu can free up some ships for private use. Now the boats on the Sidujin River were secretly dispatched by Xu Shixi, basically loaded with the property looted from Licheng, and waited for Li Fengyun to give an order to enter Jishui and enter the west.

Originally, everyone thought that this batch of ships was prepared for the Hebei people, but unexpectedly, the sailor suddenly blocked the waterway of the big river, and the return route of the Hebei people had been cut off.

Just when Xu Shiyan was worried, the boat of the twelve ladies of the Cui family appeared on the water surface of the big river outside Sidujin, and then Li Baiyao's father and son and Cui Jiu transferred to Xu Shiyan's boat and quietly came to the headquarters of the Righteous Army Alliance.

Li Baiyao is still an infantry captain in Yingyang Mansion in Surabaya, Lu County, although the official is small, but Guizhou has a high rank, and he is a famous Confucian scholar in Middle Earth, and his reputation is great, and he has attracted much attention everywhere. After Li Min, the Taishou of Lujun took office, the first thing was to ask Li Baiyao to "go out of the mountain", with such a figure standing beside him, not only has a glorious face, but also can effectively alleviate the contradictions between Guanlong and Shandong people, and many difficulties in local government affairs, many of them come from this contradiction, and when the contradictions are eased, government affairs will be smooth. Li Baiyao was reluctant to go to Qilu at all because of Li Fengyun, so he refused Li Min's plea on the grounds that his mother was old, in poor health, and needed to serve.

After King Yang of Qi arrived in Lu County, the first thing he did was to ask Li Baiyao to "go out of the mountain", but the purpose of King Qi was not simple, although he did not know Li Fengyun's true identity, but he was very suspicious that he was from the Li family of Zhao County, and invited Li Baiyao to come, so it had the meaning of "knocking on the side", of course, Li Baiyao had the political label of "princeling", which was jealous of the Holy Lord, and the King of Qi did not dare to publicly extend the invitation, so he still pretended to guard Li Min's hand.

Li Baiyao was unmoved. His political life was already ruined in the battle for the imperial throne, how could he repeat the mistake of the past and once again jump into the fire pit to dig his own grave?

However, Cui Hongsheng suddenly came forward and personally invited him to Qilu, but instead of inviting him to meet the invitation of King Qi, he paid a private visit to Li Fengyun. Last time, Cui Yu was too willful, too impulsive, and too reckless, and even went to the thief camp to meet Li Fengyun in person regardless of the danger, and that's it, he was even bold enough to coerce Li Fengyun to meet the interests of the Cui family with force, and the two sides had a very unpleasant quarrel and broke up unhappily.

Cui Hongsheng's purpose is obviously not to simply apologize, but to have other plans, otherwise there is no need to ask Li Baiyao to come forward, just find a high-status general or a nephew with brains, and run in secret. What is Cui Hongsheng's picture? Just look at the current treacherous situation in the north and south of the river. Originally, he followed the Holy Lord's Eastern Crusade, which can be regarded as temporarily getting rid of the crisis in front of him, but before he rushed to the Holy Lord's side, the Holy Lord ordered him to fight against the King of Qi, which was tantamount to pushing him into the fire pit, whether to advance or retreat, and he was in a dilemma. But King Qi is not the biggest source of Cui's crisis, if Li Fengyun is not alarmist, not deliberately framed, and Yang Xuangan, the Duke of Yueguo, really wants to mutiny in the Eastern Capital, it will be an important moment for Cui's life and death.

What is Cui Hongsheng's picture? I just want to know more secrets about the Dongdu Mutiny from Li Fengyun, so that I can take precautions and prepare in advance.

Li Baiyao only ran once, although he didn't want to run, and he knew the huge danger contained in it, and Li Fengyun had warned him repeatedly, but the stakes were heavy, the interests of the Boling Cui clan and the interests of the Li clan of Zhao County were too close, and he had to run if he didn't run this time. In addition, after Li Anqi came back last time, he told Li Fengyun in detail, and he discussed it with the elders of the clan many times, but for such a big matter, the elders of the clan were all cautious, and they have not made a decision so far. Perhaps, the irrepressible decline of the Zhaojun Li clan since Li Delin is directly related to the mediocrity of their generation. Li Fengyun is the bloodline of the Li family after all, and Li Baiyao can't stay out of it, and now even Cui Hongsheng, the contemporary head of the Boling Cui family, has made a positive statement, Li Baiyao of course has no hesitation, and he has to show a positive attitude.

When he arrived at Cui Yu's ship, Li Baiyao saw Cui Xiaoren, a young talent from the Boling Cui clan. Cui Xiaoren is the next generation of successors vigorously cultivated by the Boling Cui family, and is quite famous in the Confucian forest in Shandong. Cui Hongsheng sent Choi Hyo-in as a secret envoy, which shows the importance he attached to this meeting. But it's normal to think about it, if the Eastern Capital Mutiny is not a "big deal", then what else is a "big deal"? And any "big event" will have a greater or lesser or even decisive impact on Cui's, and there is no room for error.

After meeting, Li Fengyun's attitude was lukewarm, obviously he had the intention of rejecting people thousands of miles away, casually chatted a few words, and then took his leave under the pretext of busy military affairs, leaving the four wealthy nobles staring at each other and looking at each other, but the four of them had no intention of fighting for this leisure, compared to the major event of the Eastern Capital Mutiny, and the huge benefits that the two wealthy families could make from it, what is this innocuous subsection? Besides, Li Fengyun had just withdrawn from the battlefield in Licheng, and there was still a smell of blood on his body, and more than ten miles away were the Donglai Navy Division and the Hebei official army, and the rebellious army of Yang Lan, the king of Qi, would also chase after him immediately, so in such a tense situation, it was of course impossible to expect Li Fengyun to accompany them to chat and fart.

However, Li Fengyun still saved face, and invited them to the side tent the next afternoon, so that they could listen to their angry roar in the main tent. As soon as the four of them heard it, they understood that Li Fengyun was referring to Sang scolding Huai, and if the Cui family wanted to get what they needed from Li Fengyun, they had to pay a certain price, otherwise the cooperation between the two sides would inevitably be suspended.

When Li Fengyun returned to the partial tent, his mood had already recovered and calmed, and it was obvious that an earth-shattering roar had let his pent-up resentment be vented, and his feelings had improved.

After a little greeting, Cui Xiaoren took the lead in getting to the point, "After the general evacuates Qilu, where will he fight?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the hearts of Li Baiyao, Li Anqi's father and son, and Cui Jiu suddenly "hanged". Where the alliance will fight is a military secret, and it is a taboo for Cui Xiaoren to ask so rashly, and if it is not done well, it will anger Li Fengyun.

Li Fengyun glanced at Cui Xiaoren. Cui Xiaoren is nearly thirty years old, handsome and elegant, personable, calm and measured, outstanding, and the dignity and arrogance that comes out of his bones is an eye-catching sign, at first glance, he is a wealthy family and a character.

"That's a good question." Li Fengyun smiled slightly and said, "I want to move to the Central Plains." ”

As soon as these words came out, the first person to change color on his face was Xu Shiyan. Last year, Li Fengyun had already switched to the Central Plains, and this year Li Fengyun would have to switch to the Central Plains. However, what Li Baiyao and his son, Cui Xiaoren, and Cui Jiu thought of was the Eastern Capital Mutiny, and it was obvious that the Eastern Capital Mutiny was indeed a thing, otherwise Li Fengyun would not have entered the Central Plains for the second time.

Could it be that Li Fengyun wanted to participate in this mutiny? If Li Fengyun participated in this mutiny, there would be an explanation for his previous refusal to defeat Yang Lan, the king of Qi, because he and those mutineers needed Yang Lan, the king of Qi, to act as the "banner" of the Eastern Capital mutiny. And Yang Lan, the king of Qi, is the confidant of the Cui family in the new round of imperial disputes, and if this person is not removed, the Cui family will be restless.

Li Fengyun was blunt, and Cui Xiaoren was not polite, "The general once said that the king of Yue would stay in the eastern capital, and the prince of Yue Guo would sit in Liyang to supervise the grain and grass of the eastern expedition, and now it turns out that the general's prediction is very accurate, and the general also said that the prince of Yue will mutiny on a certain day in June, and by extension, the general will move to the Central Plains, is he interested in participating in this mutiny?" ”

Li Fengyun's smile was even worse, and his gaze couldn't help but turn to Li Anqi. It was precisely because of Li Anqi's reminder that Li Fengyun suddenly made the decision to participate in the mutiny, although the risk was incalculable, but the corresponding benefits were also greatly increased. Li Anqi had a heart, and looked at Li Fengyun and smiled, all without saying a word. In fact, the reason why Li Anqi "reminded him kindly" at the beginning was also selfish, after all, compared with the Cui family, the benefits that the Zhao County Li family could make from this mutiny were very limited, so we must take a long-term view, so that the Cui family would benefit greatly from the mutiny, and at the same time, it would owe the favor of the Zhao County Li family, as long as this favor was there, the interests of the Zhao County Li family would not be less.

"The purpose of your visit shouldn't be to find out if so-and-so participated in this mutiny, right?"

Li Fengyun didn't answer, but asked a rhetorical question with a pun.

Cui Xiaoren bowed slightly, "The purpose of coming here is to want to know the role of King Qi in this mutiny." ”

Li Fengyun laughed, "Now you know the answer." ”

Cui Xiaoren frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and asked, "General is sure, this is the answer to know?" ”

"What do you doubt?" Li Fengyun smiled, "Do you suspect that the Duke of Yue Guo wants to usurp the throne and stand on his own?" At that time, the first emperor was Zen, not only because he was the great prime minister of the regent, under one person, above ten thousand, but also because he defeated the powerful opponents such as Yu Chijiong, Sima Xiaonan and Wang Qian, and there was no obstacle on the way forward, and with the wisdom of Yue Guogong, how could he be so stupid as to lose his mind and blindly imitate the first emperor? ”

Choi Hyo-in understood. With the strength of the Duke of Yue, of course, there is no possibility of usurping the throne and standing on his own, so if he wants to succeed in the mutiny, he must change the imperial system, and he must have a new emperor, and the best candidate for this new emperor is undoubtedly Yang Lan, the king of Qi.

"What do you need?"

Cui Xiaoren immediately made a decision and directly put forward the intention of cooperation. I will satisfy you what you want, but the premise is that you must protect the interests of the Cui family.
