Chapter 663: The Importance of Li Jincai

>,!

Yu Rou is the son of Yu Shiji, the servant of the internal history, and in the core layer of the center, Shiji is the leader of the Jiangzuo aristocratic group, and Pei Shiju is the mainstay of the Guanlong aristocratic group.

"In this sentence, you should say to Jianchang Gong (Li Zixiong) that Yu Rou is now under his account, and he is quite respectful to Jianchang Gong, but he is disdainful of a certain thief and handsome."

Li Fengyun knew that Pei Xuanji's rescue of his sister-in-law was fake, and it was true to use Pei Shuying to resolve hatred and get closer to each other, to put it bluntly, since Pei Xuanji came, he would not return empty-handed, nor would he accept Li Fengyun's "stocking" proposal, he must control this force for his own use.

"How can such a thing be said?" Pei Xuanji's words were punns, "If you want to say it, you can only say it, and you will entrust it to Jianchang Gong." ”

Li Fengyun glanced at him, sneered, let me say, isn't it tantamount to exposing the truth? And it is Pei Xuanji who wants to tell Li Zixiong the truth, but this truth is not what he needs, it will tie his hands and feet, make himself more restricted, and unable to fly freely, "Brother is older, this means is also high, and the old treacherous is slippery, which is enough to compete with the boss, admire and admire." ”

Pei Xuanji smiled, "After the accident, the little lady often talked about you, and used you to mock this brother, saying that if you were alive, you would definitely fight with your life to help her at any cost." Now, not only will you come back from the dead, but you will also be able to save her from danger. A certain book was told that she must have been ecstatic and sad. ”

Pei Xuanji has to inch in, pressing step by step.

Li Fengyun frowned tightly, weighing the gains and losses. After all, if Li Pingyuan is alive, he should be very fond of Pei Shuying's little sister, and he is even willing to pay for her life, and he will take this cause and effect for Li Pingyuan, but in this way, the price he pays may be great, forced by the special relationship between Li Pingyuan and Pei's, and the huge political risks brought to Pei's family, especially Pei Shiju, he has to make some compromises, because Pei Shiju is "injured" because of this If the power is greatly reduced or the political opponents are squeezed out of the core of the center, it will inevitably affect the trend of the general trend at home and abroad, and will inevitably produce unpredictable obstacles to their future plans.

"How is Li Dewu? Is it worth the little lady's life? Li Fengyun asked.

"The son-in-law of a certain adult, of course, is the dragon and phoenix among people, there is no doubt about this, but it's a pity that the luck is too bad." Pei Xuanji sighed, "In fact, since the death of the Duke of Shenming, the Li family of Chengji in Longxi has gone from prosperity to decline, and one generation is not as good as the next. ”

"I remember that Li Dewu should be the nephew of Li Hun, the Duke of Yunguo, and the cousin of Li Shanheng, the Duke of Wencheng." Li Fengyun asked again, "It's very strange that Li Hun, the Duke of Yuguo, has always been smooth sailing, why did he break the law, and finally involved Li Dewu and Lingnan?" ”

Li Hun is Jincai, and the Li Jincai mentioned by Pei Xuanji is Li Hun, the general of the Right Xiaowei, and in Li Fengyun's memory, Li Hun and his entire family were in the spring of two years later, that is, before the outbreak of the Great War between the North and the South, when the reformers and conservatives broke out again, they were "served in one pot" by the Holy Lord and the reformers. Longxi Chengji Li is the first wealthy family of the Longxi family of the Guanlong aristocratic group, and is the "leader" of the entire Northwest family, Li Xian, Li Yuan, and Li Mu's three brothers are the meritorious ministers of the rise of Guanlong, especially Li Mu, not only in the Western Wei and Northern Zhou dynasties, but also played a vital role in the early days of the founding of the Great Sui. As the centralized reform increasingly eroded the interests of wealthy families, the Li Mu family, as vested interests, finally came to the opposite side of the reform and was completely exterminated by the Holy Lord and the reformers.

Later history put the responsibility for the destruction of Li Mu's line on the Holy Lord, saying that the Holy Lord listened to the slander of the priests, was confused by the proverb "Li should be the Son of Heaven", and finally killed innocent people indiscriminately. And the one who acts as the "killer" is the henchman Yu Wenshu of the Holy Lord, saying that Yu Wenshu is a personal vendetta of the communiqué, and deliberately frames Li Hun with the help of prophecy and exterminates his entire clan.

In fact, the internal situation is far more complicated than the rumors, considering that the general situation at home and abroad has deteriorated rapidly at that time, and there is the oppression of the Western Turks and the invasion of the ****** outside, the conservatives inside took advantage of this good opportunity to launch a crazy counterattack against the Holy Lord and the reformers, trying to use the rise and fall of Middle-earth and the survival of the country to coerce the Holy Lord to give up the reform and try to regain the ruling power from the hands of the revolutionists. In the case that compromise can no longer win the unanimous external relations of the conservatives, the only way to win the temporary stability of the political situation in the two capitals is to raise the butcher's knife, deal a heavy blow to the conservatives, and contain and attack the opponent by force. The result can be imagined, the Li Hun clan was wiped out, and it did hit the Li family of Chengji in Longxi hard, and dealt a heavy blow to the Guanlong aristocratic group, but the rabbit died and the fox was sad, this move hit the arrogance of the conservatives at the same time, but also completely angered the Northwest Warrior Group, and completely angered the conservative forces in Xijing.

The Holy Lord and the reformers suffered from the enemy, the foreign civil war was defeated, the internal reform was even more collapsed, the internal and external fronts were lost, and they had no choice but to admit their defeat in disguise in the second year after the Great War of the Holy Lord and the reformers, although before this, the holy lord and the reformers in order to vent their anger, Su Wei and his family all "knocked down", and then dealt a heavy blow to the conservatives, but this could not change the fate of failure, they said goodbye to the Eastern Capital, farewell to the political situation in Liangjing, farewell to the centralized reform, Then he died with Guozuo.

Therefore, the "Li Hun Annihilation Incident", politically it was the last straw that crushed the Holy Lord and the reformers, and it occupied a pivotal position in the last three years of the Great Sui Dynasty.

Pei Shiju, who was the waiter of the Yellow Gate at the time, forced his daughter Pei Shuying and son-in-law Li Dewu to divorce in order to protect himself.

However, now the historical trajectory seems to have deviated in some aspects, Li Hun has not yet been exposed to the scourge of ethnic annihilation, but Li Dewu has been transferred, what is the mystery in this? What impact did these mysteries have on Li Hun and his family?

Li Fengyun paid great attention to Li Hun, and even during the battle in the Eastern Capital, he sent a message through Li Min and tried his best to persuade Li Hun to take the initiative to go north to the border after the end of Yang Xuangan's mutiny, when the liquidation storm swept through the two capitals, so as to leave Kyoto to temporarily avoid the storm, in fact, he wanted to change the fate of Li Hun himself and his family.

In Li Fengyun's view, the influence of the three Li Mu brothers in the Northwest martial arts is too great, and the family of the Li family who are vassals in Chengji of Longxi is all over the western Xinjiang, and the protégés who are loyal to the Li Mu family are also all over the government and the opposition, and their power is no less than the Heluo Group that the old Yue Gong Yang Su and the little Yue Guo Gong Yang Xuangan painstakingly operated, so if this huge strength is not pushed to the opposite side by the Holy Lord and the reformers and self-destructs the Great Wall, but works together after political compromise to strengthen the Great Wall, then the Civil and Southern War may be another ending, Even if you can't defeat the northern captives and can't keep the enemy out of the country, at least you can lure the enemy deep into the north and make a draw in the northern area, so that the holy lord and the center will not be surrounded by the northern captives in Yanmen for a month, and suffer unprecedented humiliation, and from then on, the authority will be lost, and the control of the government and the local government will be lost, which will then lead to the collapse of the country and the great cause of unification.

So far, Li Fengyun has successfully changed the fate of Cui Hongsheng and changed the life trajectory of Li Zixiong, Wei Fuhei and Li Shanheng, the king of Qi, but except for the king of Qi, the role that others can play in the Civil War is not as big as Li Hun, so Li Fengyun also wants to do his best to change Li Hun's fate, change the fate of Dong Chun, the general of Pengcheng's left guard in Zuo Xiaowei, and then change the outcome of the Great Northern War.

Li Hun is the suzerain of the Li clan in Chengji, Li Shanheng is the pillar of the Li clan in Chengji, and Dong Chun is the most important right-hand man under the Li clan in Chengji, Longxi. In addition, there is Cui Hongsheng, if the suzerain of the Boling Cui clan can also go north to the border, then the forces of northern Hebei and even the entire Hebei will be mobilized to join hands to resist the captivity. As for Wei Fuhe, who was born in a wealthy family in Guanzhong, Yang Gongdao of the royal family of the clan, Zheng Yan of the Zheng family of Xingyang, a nobleman of Luoyang, Han Shige, a nobleman from Luoyang, Zhou Zhongyu Rou Laiyuan, etc., they all have the support of powerful political forces behind them, as long as they fully play the role of these people, they will be able to use the Great War between the North and the South to temporarily unite these large and small political forces belonging to different political groups and unite with the outside world, so that the outcome of the Great War between the North and the South will inevitably change, at least not to let the Northern Capture drive straight into Yanmen, It will not allow the Holy Lord and the Central Hub to be surrounded by the Northern Captives and suffer unprecedented humiliation in Yanmen City, so that the authority of the Holy Lord and the Central Hub can be saved, and a chance to save the political situation in Liangjing after the end of the Great War will be won.

Li Fengyun's idea is beautiful and irreproachable, but he will definitely not be able to do it with his ability, and he must rely on the King of Qi, and with the ability of the King of Qi, if he wants to achieve this goal, it is extremely difficult and basically impossible. From the point of view of the King of Qi, this is equivalent to transferring all his "team" to the northern frontier, which is equivalent to clearly telling the Holy Lord that he wants to dominate according to the northern frontier, and from the position of the Holy Lord and the center, it is necessary to prevent the King of Qi from sitting big and the tail from falling big, of course, he will not agree to these excessive requests of the King of Qi, so even if Li Fengyun tries his best to instigate and lobby the King of Qi, the King of Qi may not dare to speak, after all, the consequences of provoking the Holy Lord are terrible, and it is counterproductive to do it badly, but it will force the Holy Lord and the Center to Li Hun and Dong Chun as soon as possible." Start", with two bloody human heads to sternly warn and deal a heavy blow to the King of Qi.

Li Fengyun was exhausted and helpless, and he could only pin his last hope on Pei Shiju, so he was very conflicted, because Pei Shiju had to take a huge risk for this, with Pei Shiju's prudence, he might not be willing to take this risk, even if he took a step back, Pei Shiju was willing to take this risk, the premise was that King Qi and Li Fengyun had to pay a price that satisfied him, so what is this price? It goes without saying that everyone knows in their hearts, and this is the price that King Qi and Li Fengyun can't pay for it.

Contrary to Li Fengyun's expectations, Pei Xuanji took the initiative to come, which made Li Fengyun see a glimmer of hope. Pei Shiju's impatience to stretch out his "hand" shows that the current general trend of China and foreign countries is very unfavorable to Middle-earth, and its future trend also makes Middle-earth very passive, and as a last resort, Pei Shiju can only unite all the forces that can be united, first resolve the crisis of suppression in northern Xinjiang, and first carry out the preparatory work for the civil war, so as not to be caught off guard by the northern captives, detonate internal and external crises, and fall into the abyss of collapse in Middle-earth.

Li Fengyun decisively decided to raise the price of the negotiation in order to bargain and see if he could achieve the desired goal. Now both sides still have a little time, this time the negotiation can not be successful, next time can be talked again, and after the end of the Third Eastern Crusade, the clouds of the Great Northern War will inevitably shroud inside and outside the Great Wall, the pressure on the Holy Lord and the center will double, although the two sides can still talk at that time, but the situation is not good for both sides, under heavy pressure, both sides may make mistakes in decision-making, resulting in a failure, so Li Fengyun believes that the current key is that Pei Shiju must be clear about his bottom line, so that the two sides may be able to reach an agreement before the Third Eastern Crusade, In this way, the northern frontier will be able to buy enough time to prepare for war.

Li Fengyun was far-sighted, and Li Hun was a key figure in his overall plan, so when he suddenly heard Pei Xuanji say that Li Jincai violated the law, Li Fengyun instantly became vigilant and immediately asked the reason. This question seems normal, but Pei Xuanji is full of suspicions, because Li Fengyun's attention cannot be focused on this trivial matter, the two sides are "warming up" for the negotiations, and their attention is very concentrated.

"It is rumored that the reason why Li Jincai was able to inherit the title of Duke Shen Ming as the tenth son of Duke Shen Ming was because he designed to kill Li Yun, the eldest grandson of Duke Shen Ming, who had already inherited the title, and cleared the biggest obstacle to the heir, and Li Qutan, who was regarded as a murderer at that time, was just a ghost for the dead." Pei Xuanji had to patiently explain, "The first emperor has always refused to let Li Jincai succeed to the heir on the grounds of illegality, until the Holy Lord ascended the throne, Li Jin bought his wife-in-law Yuwenshu, and after Yuwenshu lobbied in the middle, he was able to succeed to the heir, and he got his wish." After the case of King Qi's immorality broke out, Li Jincai and Yuwenshu were their masters, and they turned against each other, so this old case was turned over. Li Jincai couldn't fight Yuwenshu, but Yuwenshu couldn't fight Li Jincai, and in the end, Li Qutan's brother Li Dewu became a victim and once again became a substitute for the dead. ”

Li Fengyun shook his head again and again. He has some impressions of this incident, and there is indeed a record in the history in his memory, saying that the reason why Yuwenshu framed Li Hun and exterminated his clan was because Li Hun went back on his word and did not honor the money he promised to pay for Yuwenshu to bribe him to help him succeed him. Of course, this statement really can't stand scrutiny, so I laughed it off, but Pei Xuanji's statement proved one thing, Li Hun and Yu Wenshu turned their faces because of political disagreement, and Li Dewu's case also made Li Hun see the danger of staying in Beijing, and this may be the reason why Li Min lobbied him to fight on the border before, and his intention was moved.

"Good!" Li Fengyun waved his hand and made a promise very happily, "This favor, a certain help." ”

Pei Xuanji smiled. Li Fengyun finally made a compromise, as long as he promised to save people, he had to turn to Li Zixiong for help, and this was tantamount to telling Li Zixiong that the relationship between him and Pei was as close as Li Zixiong thought.

"Again, what conditions do you have?" Pei Xuanji asked.
