Chapter 620: Ridiculous Speculation
If this person did not die, and the news of his death was false and premeditated, then what was his purpose?
Based on Pei Shiju's understanding of this person, the purpose of this person's "fraudulent death" should not be to escape the pursuit of the enemy, but to chase and kill the enemy, go to the sky and enter the sea, and never die.
This person's enemies are all high-ranking and powerful people, and even have a hegemon, if you want to take revenge, you must first have strong strength, so when he received the news of this person's death, Pei Shiju was suspicious, and always felt that this person should not die so simply, his ambition died before he was paid, and he died young, so bad luck?
However, with the passage of time, the little expectation in Pei Shiju's heart gradually dissipated, and the memory of this person was slowly buried, and occasionally remembered it like a meteor crossing the sky, leaving only a faint sadness and a little melancholy.
However, the information provided by Feng Deyi today opened up his dusty memory, and he couldn't help but think of the child who was pinned on by himself, regarded as his own, and always obeyed the left and right, did not hesitate, and sacrificed his life to help each other in the difficult process of falling into a low point in his life.
Could it be that the white-haired thief from the north and south of the river turned out to be him? How is this possible? This is ridiculous.
Pei Shiju did not hesitate to deny his "delusions", closed his past memories, and focused his energy on the major event of "King Qi going north". However, when he carefully studied the letter again, his mind was disturbed again, because he noticed that Li Baiyao was mentioned in the letter, saying that Li Baiyao was by the side of the King of Qi.
Li Baiyao is the son of the meritorious minister Li Delin, and Li Delin and Pei Shiju are both former ministers of the Northern Qi Dynasty, the two have known each other since childhood, have a deep friendship, and are also allies in politics. Because of the existence of this relationship, as an important member of the "******", Li Baiyao was hit by the Holy Lord, but under the special care of Pei Shiju, his career was not broken, and now he is Sima of Yingyang Mansion in Surabaya, Lu County, far away from Jingshi, Taoguang and obscurity, waiting for the opportunity.
The white-haired thief burned and plundered in Lu County before, and the King of Qi also went to Lu County to fight the thieves, that is to say, there is indeed a possibility of "intersection" between Li Baiyao, the white-haired thief and the King of Qi. However, with Pei Shiju's understanding of Li Baiyao, unless his relatives and family face the danger of life and death, it is impossible for Li Baiyao to risk angering the Holy Lord and dying to destroy the clan, accept the "invitation" of the King of Qi, give advice to the King of Qi, and once again get involved in the battle for the imperial system, repeating the mistakes of the past.
It's just that since Feng Deyi said it, he has definite evidence, and it is true, so why did Li Baiyao make the same mistake in politics and repeat the mistakes of the past?
King Qi has been "abandoned" by the Holy Lord, no matter how King Qi "struggles", and no matter how hard King Qi's supporters try, the possibility of King Qi inheriting the imperial throne is very small, and for this slim hope, it is necessary for Li Baiyao to gamble all his net worth? More importantly, Li Baiyao's identity is special, and he has a great influence in Shandong Confucianism, especially among Hebei scholars, so his every move is not only related to the interests of the Li family of Zhao County, but also to the interests of the wealthy families in Hebei, and also has a certain degree of influence on the overall interests of the Shandong aristocratic group.
So the bigger question arises, what do the Zhao Jun Li clan and the Boling Cui clan want? The political life of the King of Qi is in jeopardy, and the political value is already very small, what political benefits can they "squeeze" from this prince at sunset?
Could it be that the child is really alive? The "obsession" in Pei Shiju's heart suddenly "grew" wildly, and it was unstoppable.
If that child is still alive and expands his strength by supporting the King of Qi and dominates the northern frontier, then he has the power to take revenge. Internally, he can provoke a dispute over the imperial system, as long as the father and son kill each other, the Holy Lord and the King of Qi fight, and the civil war breaks out, he doesn't want to say that he will kill people and take revenge, and it may even destroy the national Zuo, so that the great cause of the unification of Middle Earth will fall apart; As long as the war breaks out, he can use the power of Middle-earth to sweep the desert and kill people.
With the current chaotic political situation of fierce fighting between the two capitals in China, as well as the embarrassing situation of national defense and diplomacy caused by the rapid deterioration of relations between the north and the south, it is true that the security of the national throne and the great cause of reunification has cast a thick layer of shadows. Not only has it failed to turn the tide, but it has exacerbated the deterioration of the situation, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
If he is determined to take revenge, he can take advantage of the current bad situation at home and abroad, come up with a very tempting strategy, and then persuade King Qi and his supporters, persuade Li Baiyao and the Hebei giants behind him, and everyone join forces to create a future.
In this way, it can explain why the king of Qi wants to go north to the border to "fight to the death", why Li Baiyao wants to assist the king of Qi to "repeat the mistakes of the past", and why the white-haired thief turns to Hebei to "survive in the death", there is no other reason, because the current bad situation between China and foreign countries and its future trend contains countless possibilities and countless opportunities, and under the sinister situation of "two tigers fighting" and bloody fighting in the middle of the earth and the desert north, the political forces headed by the king of Qi, the Shandong scholars represented by Li Baiyao, and the rebel forces led by the white-haired thieves work together. It is completely possible to influence the trend of the general trend at home and abroad, so that they can seize one opportunity after another to "profit" from the complicated and ever-changing chaos. If the strategy is correct and the luck is good, and the opponent repeatedly makes mistakes and is extremely unlucky, maybe they will be able to get their wish and achieve their own interests.
Of course, all of this is based on a ridiculous hypothetical speculation, which, while plausible and defying scrutiny, is ultimately an unrealistic fantasy. That child is dead, there is no way to die and rise again, there is absolutely no possibility. It's just that what is the explanation for Li Baiyao's "repeating the mistakes of the past"? In addition, Feng Deyi also said one thing, Hebei Confucianism Liu Xuan and Kong Yingda are now under the account of white-haired thieves. Scholars have the dignity and bottom line of scholars, and two generations of famous Hebei Confucians are under the account of a traitor, so the identity of this traitor cannot but be doubted. Feng Deyi also said that the time when Li Zixiong fled Liyang was basically the same as the time when the white-haired thief crossed the river to the north, so he suspected that Li Zixiong was hiding in the army of the white-haired thief. Li Zixiong is a famous general in Middle-earth, a meritorious minister, and a great reputation, of course, he has his pride, it is conceivable that such a person would rather die standing than kneel and live, how could he hide in a traitor army to survive? There must be a mystery behind this.
Pei Shiju felt that he had found the answer, but this answer was too ridiculous, reason told him that it was impossible, but there was an "obsession" lingering in his heart, which made him have illusions.
Li Pingyuan, are you really still alive?
Suddenly, Pei Shiju thought of a serious problem. If Li Pingyuan is still alive, then all those who know Li Pingyuan's true identity, such as Li Baiyao, such as Cui Hongsheng, and Li Zixiong, will inevitably make a wrong interpretation of what Li Pingyuan did, misunderstand that Li Pingyuan has his own existence behind him, and misunderstand that the political forces led by himself are carrying out some kind of political layout in order to seek political interests in the future.
And this can just explain why King Qi surrendered his identity to cooperate with the thief, can explain why Li Baiyao is willing to assist King Qi, and can also explain why Liu Xuan, Kong Yingda and even Li Zixiong and other famous people are in the company of thieves.
Pei Shiju repeatedly analyzed and deduced, and the sense of foreboding became stronger and stronger. He is too familiar with Li Pingyuan, and once it is assumed that Li Pingyuan is still alive and Li Pingyuan is the white-haired thief, then if he carefully examines the development trajectory of the white-haired thief, the possible relationship between the white-haired thief and the King of Qi and Li Baiyao, as well as the sudden strategy of "King Qi going north", it is not difficult to find that there is a ghost-like figure in this, and the style of this "figure" is too similar to Li Pingyuan.
It's just that once the "ghost" of Li Pingyuan is exposed and revealed to the world, Pei Shiju will unfortunately "lie down", and he will not be able to argue, the Holy Lord must have misunderstood Pei Shiju betrayed him, and the consequences are self-evident.
Pei Shiju made a decision to "help" Feng Deyi through the current "difficulties".
Feng Deyi was affected by Yang Xuangan and suffered a "political crisis", Pei Shiju originally planned to help, one Feng Deyi has been in the center for a long time, powerful and prominent, and has a great influence in the Shandong aristocratic group, Pei Shiju does need such a "help" at the critical moment, in addition, Pei Shiju is an old minister of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and the old ministers of the Northern Qi Dynasty in the Shandong aristocratic group are more powerful, so Pei Shiju has close interests with the Shandong aristocratic group, this favor must be helped, otherwise he will lose too much?
Now Feng Deyi provided him with "the king of Qi going north", which directly affects the important information of the general trend of China and foreign countries, which is of great value, and the secret of the white-haired thief gave him a surprise, although his speculation is wishful thinking, but what is the relationship between the rebel force of the white-haired thief and the king of Qi and the people of Hebei, and whether it will affect the general trend of China and foreign countries, it must be clarified immediately to prevent the center from making a miscalculation. In the center, whoever first grasps the information that others don't know will have the advantage, and the message of "King Qi going north" is even more important to Pei Shiju, the core decision-maker in charge of foreign affairs, so Feng Deyi is very favorable, Pei Shiju accepted it and gave it in return.
However, how can we "help" Feng Deyi through the "difficulties"?
