Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Wei Baoluan not only vaguely told Yang Lan, the king of Qi, a trace of his "inspiration", but also told his two uncles who stayed in Kyoto, Wei Ji, the Taichang Shaoqing, and Wei Jin, the servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and wrote a secret letter to his cousin Wei Fusi, who was dismissed at home because of the case of Yang Lan, the king of Qi.
Wei Fusi's father was Wei Shikang, a famous minister in Middle Earth, and Wei Shikang's uncle was Wei Xiaokuan. Among Wei Shikang's three sons, the second son Wei Fusi is the most famous, and the official is the inner historian. The Inner History Sheren is also the former Zhongshu Sheren, who is in charge of the edict in the Inner History Province (Zhongshu Province), intends to draft edicts, is the core member of the center, participates in secrets, makes decisions on state affairs, and has great power, so those who can hold this position must not only be prestigious, literary, but also absolutely loyal to the emperor.
Wei Fusi was very loyal to the emperor, and the emperor trusted Wei Fusi very much, and the monarch and the ministers were like-minded and got along well, but as the reform entered the "fast lane", the differences between the two on the reform ideas became bigger and bigger, and it was only a matter of time before the monarch and the ministers parted ways. After the case of King Yang of Qi's "loss of morality" broke out, Webster was in the center of the storm and was in danger, and in order to maximize Cheng Dรน to protect the interests of the family, Webster resolutely "broke the wrist of a strong man", and this "wrist" was Wei Fuhei.
Wei Fusi's uncle is Wei Chong, the former secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and Wei Chong's daughter is the concubine of the king of Qi. The heroine in the case of King Qi's "immorality" is Wei Chong's other daughter, that is, Wei Fusi's cousin. Because of this in-law relationship, Wei Fusi naturally became the core figure of the political force of Yang Lan, the king of Qi, and was also the "vanguard" who promoted Yang Lan to enter the East Palace, but his efforts failed, and he was naturally expelled from the center and deposed from all positions.
Wei Fusi's fate is closely related to Guanzhong Wei's, and Guanzhong Wei's interests are closely related to Qi Wang Yang Lan. In the battle for the emperor's unification, King Yang Lan of Qi is the closest to the position of the prince, although Wei still has the grandson of the emperor Yang Yu in his hands, but Yang Yu is too far away from the position of the prince, unless there is a miracle, it is impossible, so Wei can only put all his strength on Yang Ran, the king of Qi. In Wei Baoluan's view, uncles Wei Ji and Wei Jin have important positions, and their every move is under the attention of their opponents, and their actions are very inconvenient, and Wei Fusi, the cousin who is deposed at home, not only has convenient conditions to give advice to Qi King Yang Lan, but more importantly, if Qi King Yang Lan can "make a comeback", Wei Fusi will also be able to make a comeback.
The second person Wei Baoluan asked for help was Li Hun, the general of the Right Xiaowei who was in charge of defending Kyoto.
Li Hun is the tenth son of the famous Middle-earth general Li Mu. Li Mu is from the Li family of Chengji in Longxi. There are three Li families in Longxi, and the most famous is the Chengji Li family, a descendant of Li Ling of the Han Dynasty. The second is the Longxi Didao Li clan, Li Hu, one of the Eight Pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty, is from the Didao Li clan, which is rumored to be the descendant of the Qin general Li Xin. There is also a family of Longxi Tianshui Li, and Li Jing, the general of the right military guard of the current Weifu, is from the Tianshui Li family.
In that year, the Northern Wei Dynasty was divided, and Emperor Xiaowu of Wei went west to enter the Guanlong, passing through Guanlong, and received the full support of the local aristocratic group in Guanlong, among which the three brothers Li Xian, Li Yuan, and Li Mu of the Li family of Chengji in Longxi rose. The first emperor founded the country, Li Mu made great contributions, worshiped as the Taishi, praised and worshipped the nameless, 3,000 households, although the descendants were in infancy, they were all awarded the Yitong of the five products, and the whole family worshiped the official and awarded the knighthood as many as more than 100 people, and its power was great, and the world was incomparable. The brothers Li Xian and Li Yuan died early, and Li Mu lived a long life and died of illness in the eighth year of the emperor's reign, at the age of seventy-seven. With the death of Li Mu, as his sons and nephews also died, the Li family of Chengji in Longxi was no longer prosperous, and his power declined sharply.
Now the one who supports the Li family of Longxi Chengji is Li Mu's tenth son, Li Hun, the general of the right Xiaowei of the Wei Mansion; the other is Li Shanheng, the son of Li Ya, the third son of Li Mu, who is now a waiter of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the deputy chief of finance of this dynasty; There is also Li Min, the grandson of Li Mu's eldest brother Li Xian, who is now the general of this dynasty, although he is not a member of the center, but because he is the nephew and son-in-law of today, a very special nephew and son-in-law, who is powerful, and even passed Li Hun, the contemporary head of the Li family in Chengji, Longxi.
Li Min's mother-in-law was the eldest sister of the present, Princess Leping, who was the last queen of the former Zhou dynasty, and she and her only daughter became a symbol of the legacy of the former Zhou dynasty. The Great Sui Guozuo built by the first emperor was Zen and was given away by the emperor of the previous dynasty and Zhou, so it stands to reason that the new dynasty should treat the remnants of the previous dynasty with a "gratitude" mentality, but in fact this is absolutely impossible. In order to maintain the face of the "benevolence and righteousness" of the new dynasty, the first emperor and the present emperor both offered Princess Leping's mother and daughter high to block the "mouth" of the world, so the mother and daughter still have a respected political status and influence that cannot be underestimated in the Guanlong aristocratic group.
Princess Leping has only one daughter, and of course the choice of son-in-law is very strict, in addition to being a household, she must also be able to inherit the legacy of the former dynasty represented by their mother and daughter to the greatest extent, so that the choice of this son-in-law is very narrow, not only to have a considerable amount of political strength in the previous dynasty, but also to have a huge power in this dynasty, and have outstanding merits to the two dynasties and the two royal families. There are not many Guanlong wealthy families who can meet this condition, and the Li family of Longxi Chengji is definitely one of them, so Princess Leping chose Li Min. Although when choosing a son-in-law, there were hundreds of children of the Guan Long family who were candidates, but in fact, they were all "green leaves", filling the scene.
Princess Leping died of illness on the way to Tuyuhun in the west, and her last words before her death were that because she had no son, she regarded her son-in-law Li Min as her son, and begged the emperor to transfer all her food to Li Min, that is, to let Li Min inherit the increasingly thin inheritance of the former dynasty that she left behind. Imakami agreed. Princess Leping also begged Imakami to take care of her daughter and son-in-law instead of her. Jinshang solemnly promised, and this promise is of great significance, which is equivalent to giving Li Min and his wife a gold medal to avoid death. It can be seen from this that with Li Min's illustrious family background and unique political status, even if the emperor excluded him from the center, his political influence on Middle-earth is a fact and cannot be ignored.
However, in the matter of imperial unification, Li Min's right to speak is still very limited, and among the Li clan in Chengji, Longxi, the only one who can really influence the imperial unification is Li Hun.
Longxi Chengji Li is the first local Han nobles in Longxi, and Guanzhong Wei is the first wealthy family of local Han nobles in Guanzhong. Although there are inevitable contradictions and conflicts between the two families, since the split of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Shandong, Heluo, Hedong three Han aristocratic groups and Lu aristocratic groups have flocked to the Guanlong local Han aristocratic group because of the lack of history and culture, everyone had to unite to seek common interests, after the struggle of the Western Wei Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty, they finally relied on military merits and rose, becoming the core force of the emerging aristocratic group in Middle Earth. In this dynasty, the emerging aristocracy represented by the Wei family in Guanzhong and the Li family in Chengji in Longxi was enough to compare with the ancient aristocracy represented by the five-level wealthy families in Shandong, and one of the most important manifestations was the political marriage with the royal family and the ancient wealthy families.
Before the founding of the country, the first emperor was the prime minister of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and he was always in charge of the government and monopolized power. The important ministers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Wei Chi Hui, Sima Xiaonan and Wang Qian rebelled in Hebei, Jingxiang and Bashu respectively to overthrow the first emperor. At the critical juncture, Li Mu, who was in charge of the Jin Dynasty, became a key figure, and if he also participated in the mutiny, the first emperor would not have the strength to fight back at all, and he would inevitably be defeated. Both sides went to fight for Li Mu, and after Li Mu weighed it carefully, he sent his youngest son Li Hun to Chang'an to bring the first emperor an iron, which means that only the first emperor can realize the great cause of unification in today's Middle Earth, and resolutely support the first emperor. The first emperor was overjoyed, so with Wei Xiaokuan as the commander, he tried his best to defeat Wei Chi Yuan and won a decisive victory. As Li Mu's secret envoy, Li Hun naturally won the appreciation of the first emperor, added an official to the knighthood, and soon pursued Jinshang, who was the king of Jin at any time, as the commander of his personal guard brigade, and went on an expedition to Jiangzuo from now on, and since then has become a close confidant of Jinshang, assisting Jinshang to pass through Jiangzuo. After Imajo became the crown prince, he served as the general of Zuo Wuwei and the head of the prince Zongwei. After his ascension to the throne, he has served as the general of the Right Xiaowei until now.
Because of the special merits of the Li family in Longxi Chengji to this dynasty, and because of the special relationship between Li Hun and Jinshang, Jinshang specially appointed Li Hun to lead the prince Zuowei rate, hoping that Li Hun could do his best to assist the prince like himself. After the death of the crown prince, Yang Lan, the king of Qi, was the natural first heir, and now he did like the king of Qi at the beginning, and specially ordered Li Hun to take 20,000 guards from the East Palace to assist the king of Qi.
However, the next thing was complicated, the emperor did not set up a prince for a long time, and Yang Lan, the king of Qi, who was expected to become a prince, became the target of public criticism, and was surrounded and intercepted by all forces. Li Hun, who was ordered to assist and protect the King of Qi, fell into an embarrassing situation, he had to do everything to protect the King of Qi, and had to do his best to complete the mission entrusted by the emperor, but at the same time he could not see the hope of the King of Qi entering the East Palace, because he knew that the emperor had shelved the imperial system without restriction in order to promote reform. And the emperor's move not only pushed the king of Qi to the edge of the cliff, but also roasted Li Hun on the fire. Li Hun was cornered, his fate and the fate of the king of Qi were tightly tied together, in order to reverse the crisis, his only way was to push Yang Lan, the king of Qi, to the throne of the crown prince.
Since the prosperity of the Wei and Jin dynasties, the family and scholars have pursued the principle of distinguishing between the noble and the lowly in marriage, and the marriage is only carried out between families with similar status, so as to ensure that the noble rank of their own family will not decline due to improper marriage, and absolutely avoid "marriage and eunuch class". At the height of the government, "marriage and eunuch misclass" was a serious crime that would be punished and spurned by the scholars. The fact that the local Han nobles in Guanlong, such as the Wei clan in Guanzhong and the Li clan in Longxi, were able to marry with the imperial family and the five wealthy families in Shandong, indicating that their political status in Middle-earth had risen to a new height, and the emerging aristocratic group that had risen with military merits had grown into a huge political force that could influence the fate of Middle-earth.
After the unification of China and Earth, the government of the gate lord clan gradually moved towards the "downhill road", but the strict hierarchy that has been passed down for hundreds of years and the values and folk customs derived from this hierarchy, such as "marriage and eunuch class", and the concept that the scholar and the Shu must not intermarry, etc., cannot be changed overnight. The royal family of this dynasty continued to marry with the core members of the emerging aristocratic groups such as the Guanzhong Wei family and the Longxi Li family, and the members of the emerging aristocratic group with the local Han nobles in Guanlong as the core force also married each other, among which the marriage between the Guanzhong Wei family and the Longxi Li family has continued for several generations.
The Li clan of Chengji in Longxi and the Wei clan in Guanzhong joined hands to unite the emerging aristocratic group with the local Han nobles in Guanlong as the core force, and helped Yang Lan, the king of Qi, to "charge" the East Palace, so the contradictions between the monarchs and ministers arose, and the conflict was inevitable.
In this crusade, the emperor entrusted Li Hun with a heavy task and ordered Li Hun to conquer Kyoto, which seemed to be the emperor's trust in him, but in fact it was the opposite, the emperor no longer trusted Li Hun. In the case of King Qi's "loss of morality", Li Hun was jointly and severally liable, but because Guanzhong Wei "broke his wrist" at a critical moment and reached a compromise with the emperor, Li Hun escaped by luck, but the trust between the monarch and the minister was reduced to a minimum.
The current official position of Yang Nan, the king of Qi, is the internal history of Henan, the highest administrator of Gyeonggi. Li Hun is now the general of the Right Xiaowei, in charge of the Gyeonggi garrison. The political interests of these two people are completely identical, and they are both in a difficult situation, and if they can find an opportunity to get out of this situation, they will certainly not miss it. It's just that these two people are now in Kyoto, and they are far away from Jiyin County, even if Wei Baoluan provides them with such an opportunity, but their hands are not long enough, they can't reach it, and they can't catch it if they want to, and they can't catch it, and it's out of reach.
