For the people of Qinghe, Li Fengyun was a mysterious and legendary passer-by, who came and went in a hurry, fought a victorious battle, exacerbated the crisis of Yongji Canal, and then disappeared like the wind, like throwing a stone on the surface of a rough lake, although it splashed waves, it disappeared in an instant, as if it had never appeared.
A group of Hebei heroes will be suspicious of Li Fengyun's shocking remarks, after all, no one knows what will happen in the future, as long as they have not yet been born, everything is possible.
Soon, news came from the eastern capital. After repeated studies of the Eastern Expedition, the military department and the Weifu determined that Xue Shixiong, the general of the Right Yiwei, desperately resisted the enemy's attack at the critical moment of the Battle of Sashui, and won more time to cover the friendly army's crossing of the river. It is precisely because of Cui Hongsheng's good preparations that the four armies of the expedition were able to successfully evacuate the Sashui battlefield, and also because of Cui Hongsheng's early warning, the Holy Lord and the center reinforced Yalu Water in time, so as to ensure that the four armies of the expedition safely crossed the Yalu River and returned to Liaodong, so Cui Hongsheng not only did nothing, but also meritorious, However, considering the fact that the expeditionary force was defeated, Cui Hongsheng could only offset his merits and demerits, and the official was reinstated.
On December 14, the Holy Lord decreed that Xue Shixiong and Cui Hong were promoted and reinstated.
If the Holy Lord wants to win the support of the Shandong people for the Second Eastern Crusade, he must help the Shandong people save Cui Hongsheng, and if he wants to save Cui Hongsheng, the concessions of the Guanlong people are crucial, so the Holy Lord has to compromise with the Guanlong people, so Xue Shixiong is released. Xue Shixiong is an important member of the Hedong aristocratic group, and the central ministers Pei Shiju, the servant of the Yellow Gate, and Pei Yun, the imperial historian, are also important members of this political group, that is to say, the Holy Lord has compromised with the Guanlong people on the surface, but in fact, it is the Hedong people who support him who have benefited, and this political skill can be said to be very high.
On December 15, the Holy Lord issued an edict that Duan Da, the general of Zuo Yiwei, was dismissed from his post as general of Zuo Yiwei because of his insuccess in fighting the chaos in Hebei and the suppression of thieves was unfavorable, and he immediately returned to Beijing.
On the same day, the Holy Lord issued an edict to remove Cui Hongsheng from the post of Taishou of Zhuo County, and appointed him as the ambassador of Hebei and the general of Zuo Wuwei, replacing Duan Da in charge of the Hebei rebellion.
On the same day, the Holy Lord also issued two important edicts, one was to appoint Cui Hongsheng's younger brother Cui Hongjun as the governor of King Zhao's mansion; The content of another edict was the same, appointing Cui Zhen, another important member of the Boling Cui clan, as the chief historian of the Yue Palace.
Yang Gao, the king of Zhao, was the third son of the Holy Lord. Yang Tong, the king of Yue, was the second son of the late Prince Yuande and the grandson of the Holy Lord. Cui Hongjun became the first auxiliary minister of Zhao Wang Yang Gao, and Cui Zhen became the chief minister of Yue Wang's mansion, and Cui Zhen became the number one minister of Yue Wang Yang Tong.
Compared with Cui Hongsheng's appointment, these two appointments are too important, there are too many things in them, they are too complicated, and the influence is too great, which immediately caused a sensation in Dongdu.
From the perspective of the inheritance system of Middle Earth, King Zhao is the prince of Shu, and King Yue is the grandson of the emperor, and they have no right of inheritance, and they are not legitimate heirs, and the only legitimate heir who really has the right of inheritance is Yang Lan, the king of Qi. But the problem now is that Yang Lan, the king of Qi, is getting farther and farther away from the position of the prince, and the hope of inheriting the imperial throne is getting slimmer and slimmer, especially after he left the capital to fight outside the capital, leaving the eastern capital with a desolate and desperate figure who is dying in the battle for the imperial unification, which further widens the distance between the king of Qi and the prince, so the eastern capital naturally turned his attention to other princes and grandsons.
The principle of the inheritance system in China is to establish a successor, a long, and a virtuous person. As the prince and the eldest son of the emperor, Yang Nan, the king of Qi, has gradually moved away from the sequence of heirs to the imperial system, so he can only follow the principle of "establishing virtues" to find new heirs among the princes and grandsons.
The biggest drawback of the principle of "Lixian" is that it gives more people the opportunity to compete for the right of inheritance, which will tempt the battle for the imperial system, the father and son cannibalize each other, and the brothers will fight against each other, so that the country will be ruined, and the country will be destroyed, which is cruel and bloody. However, this dynasty is an exception, when the first emperor chose the heir, he finally chose the principle of "establishing virtue", and as a result, in the period of time before and after the holy lord "ascended to the top", father and son killed each other, brothers and brothers, corpses were everywhere, and blood flowed like rivers.
It stands to reason that the Holy Lord should learn a lesson丨But this is a special era, an era from division to great unification, an era from the gate lord clan government to a centralized system, and an era of reform, in order to establish a permanent, peaceful and prosperous unified Middle Earth, the heir to the imperial system must have the governing concept of great unification and a strong will to reform, so the first emperor and the holy lord, in the principle of choosing the heir, is not to establish a successor and establish a long, but whether to adhere to the reform of great unification, so can only choose "Lixian" Principle.
The Holy Lord first "expelled" Yang Lan, the king of Qi, from the political government, and then "pushed the boat down the river", and "exiled" the only legitimate heir out of the Eastern Capital, and today he entrusted the important task of assisting King Zhao and King Yue to the Cui family, the first wealthy family in Shandong, which is equivalent to making an official announcement to the major political groups in the Eastern Capital, and the imperial succession will be based on the principle of "Lixian". According to this principle, King Yang Lan of Qi has the opportunity to "reach the top", and other princes and grandsons also have the opportunity to win the emperor's throne, which actually deprives King Yang Lan of Qi of the only legitimate right of inheritance, and at the same time grants other princes and grandsons the qualification to inherit the imperial system, and a new round of imperial disputes has begun.
The battle for the imperial system during the period of the first emperor, the final victory of the holy lord, has very clearly revealed that the reformers adhered to the principle of "Lixian" as the principle of the imperial succession system, and today the holy lord followed in the footsteps of the first emperor, and also raised the banner of "Lixian" inheritance, it seems that there is a danger of repeating the mistakes of the past, and there is a suspicion of losing his mind, but in fact, its political background is the same as that of the year, the reformers have suffered a heavy setback, and the reform cause of the great unification has encountered a heavy crisis, and it is forced to do so. The reformers can only transfer the crisis by expanding the battle for imperial unification, and divert the "firepower" of the conservatives' attack on reform to the battlefield of the struggle for imperial unification, so as to gain time for respite and reversal, and gain more bargaining chips with the conservatives.
The major aristocratic groups in Middle-earth have already experienced the "Imperial War" of the first imperial dynasty and have rich experience in "fighting", so when they saw that the Holy Lord had reopened the battlefield of the Imperial War based on the principle of "Lixian", they saw through the intentions of the Holy Lord at a glance, saw through the methods of the reformers, and saw the huge opportunities and risks contained in it, so they were full of energy and momentum, and rushed to the battlefield with a big sword.
The Boling Cui clan took the lead and rushed to the front, and in such a thrilling battle, those who rushed to the front were generally dead and had little life, but at this moment, the Boling Cui clan had no choice, instead of thinking about whether they would die, it was better to move forward, fight a bloody way, and survive in the dead.
The Bolingcui clan once again won the trust of the Holy Lord overnight, and was "brilliant" again, but the crisis hidden behind this "brilliance" made people shudder as if they were walking on thin ice as if they were on the edge of an abyss.
In late December, Li Fengyun led the alliance army to withdraw to Jibei, and just as he was about to withdraw to Lu County, Li Anqi came in a hurry.
Li Anqi failed Li Fengyun's trust and failed to invite Hongru Liu Xuan before Li Fengyun went north to Yongji Canal, but fortunately, Li Fengyun was lucky and found Wang An, a very tacit "collaborator", otherwise this trip to Hebei would not have been so smooth. However, Li Fengyun did not blame Li Anqi, after all, Liu Xuan is a Confucian master of Middle-earth, even if he is down-and-out to be with a thief, he is also a master-level figure, with the dignity of a master, and the thinking of a master, he will naturally come if he is willing to come, and if he is not willing to come, even if he is kidnapped, it is useless.
Li Anqi brought Li Baiyao's secret letter, and Li Baiyao invited Li Fengyun to meet at the pavilion.
Guantao is in Wuyang County, Hebei Province, on the south bank of Yongji Canal, about two hundred miles away from Jibei, the distance is not much, but it is difficult to walk in the middle of winter, plus Li Fengyun has just returned from Qinghe, and the alliance still has a lot of things to deal with when the New Year is approaching, so it is really inconvenient to return quietly immediately.
Li Fengyun hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is it urgent?" Must get out now? ”
Li Anqi nodded again and again, and said solemnly, "It is said that not long ago, the Cui family arrived in Yecheng in Wei County. ”
Li Fengyun understood in his heart, it turned out that the twelve ladies of the Cui family had arrived, and together with Li Baiyao, this was enough to show that the Boling Cui family and the Zhaojun Li family had carried out close cooperation in some aspects, but it was difficult to say whether this cooperation was beneficial to himself, so this trip really should not be delayed.
Li Fengyun set off decisively and rushed to the museum day and night. In a manor outside Guantao City, Li Fengyun saw Li Baiyao and Cui Jiu.
Cui Jiu's attitude towards Li Fengyun has changed significantly, he is very polite and friendly, and there is even a sense of closeness in his words. Li Fengyun was as always, neither humble nor arrogant, and after some greetings, he eagerly asked about the specific process of the defeat of the Eastern Crusade.
Cui Jiu elaborated that Li Fengyun's prediction was basically consistent with the actual situation, and when it came to the exploits of Cui Hongsheng, the head of his own family, Cui Jiu was even more overjoyed, and attributed the successful breakthrough of the four armies of the expedition to Cui Hongsheng completely. When Li Fengyun heard that more than 100,000 soldiers of the four armies had successfully withdrawn to Liaodong, he immediately realized that he might have been deceived by the history in his memory.
History says that after the Sashui War, Yuwenshu only withdrew to Liaodong with less than 3,000 people, and what does 3,000 people mean? It means that except for the commanders of the armies and their subordinates, there is no rest, which raises an inexplicable question, how did the commanders of the armies withdraw? In the process of the expeditionary force's retreat, the armies are in different positions and will encounter different battle conditions, even if the commanders of the armies abandon their own armies, they cannot have such good luck and escape from nature, and considering that the Goguryeo people attacked it halfway, half of the expeditionary force must have crossed the Sashui before the flood came, and after this half of the army fled to the Yalu water, it still has enough ability and time to cross the Yalu water, so if nothing else, Yuwenshu can at least withdraw with tens of thousands of soldiers. From this, it can be determined that in order to slander and discredit the Holy Lord, Li Tang tampered with this history when he wrote it.
Li Fengyun was in a happy mood, and facts proved that within the scope of his ability, he still had the possibility of changing history, although the magnitude of the change was very small, or even negligible, for example, with the efforts of Cui Hongsheng, with the concerted efforts of the Holy Lord, the center, and the expeditionary headquarters, more soldiers were saved, but the accumulation of small amounts was a lot, and there was still a glimmer of hope for changing the trajectory of history by chance.
After Cui Jiu finished talking about the defeat of the Eastern Crusade, he finally got to the point, "Your prediction is very accurate, and the Second Eastern Crusade is about to begin." ”
