Chapter 37: Uncle and Sister-in-law
One of the reasons why Fan Jia, Guan Yue, Chen Di and others have always tolerated Zhao Ben's behavior is that there is a lack of a military general, after Yang Xiong left Xingyang, the military power was controlled by Zhao Ben, and even if Fan Jia and others secretly had some contact with the army, they were not Zhao Ben's opponents.
Now, Ying Yushu suddenly threw out Li Yuan, a powerful general who can compete with Liu Bang, and suddenly, the anti-Zhao alliance has its own military leader, which makes the anti-Zhao alliance immediately consolidate a lot.
"General Li and we don't have a good relationship, I don't know when the princess got in touch with him, and I don't know if this person is credible?" Chen Di was still a little hesitant.
"Zong Zheng doesn't know, General Li is originally a member of the Li family-!" Ying Yushu's face turned red, and she said a little girly.
"What?" At this moment, not only Chen Di was surprised, but also Guan Yue, Fan Jia, Hou Xi and others were also surprised, they never thought that the Li family seemed to be at the end of the road, and even hid a hand, so it seems that Prime Minister Li Cheng is really scheming.
"If you don't believe me, you can ask Hou Xi and Hou Sima if my husband has anything to say." Ying Yushu set his eyes on Hou Xi, who was still in surprise.
At this meeting, Hou Xi did not speak much, this is because he only represents more than 1,000 Junyi people in Xingyang, at most plus Guan Yue's support, which is too big a gap with the deep-rooted traditional Shili like Fan Jia, the court commissioner like Chen Di, and the royal family like Ying Yushu.
In fact, even Hou Xi didn't know what Ying Yushu's intention was to let him participate in this conspiracy, and now he began to understand.
"When Li Junshou was trapped in Yongqiu, he did let his subordinates take care of Li Duwei, but his subordinates really didn't know the reason." Hou Xi said honestly. The scene when Yongqiu was broken was too dangerous, Hou Xi has always felt extremely lucky, that is, he received Li You's order to secretly transfer the war horse of the crossbow cavalry battalion to Li Yuan's hands, and it was this decision that allowed Hou Xi to escape death.
"If you still don't believe it, then you might as well ask the servants of the Li family, Li Bi, you and Li Yuan have been together since childhood, and you can tell the envoys about his situation." Ying Yushu took her eyes off Hou Xi, the purpose of her letting Hou Xi come was for this sentence, without Hou Xi saying anything, this vague answer was just right.
"Well, Brother Yuan is two years older than me, and it was his birthday at noon on March 9th, twelve years ago, we entered the mansion on the same day!" The short, thick-eyed young man spoke in a muffled voice, but he spoke clearly.
Only then did everyone realize that Li Bi was the young man who entered the door with Gu Yun. The Li family, as expected, is still hiding behind them, but fortunately they did not take refuge in Zhao Ben, a stupid guy, otherwise, the Li family would fight back, and their own side would have become a victim.
"I have agreed with General He Xiaogu, I will accept General Li into the city as soon as possible, and when the time comes, the guards at the gate of the city will ask Fan County Ling and Guan Gongcao to bother more." Ying Yushu had calmed down and began to arrange the next moves. Fan Jia and Guan Yue, the two evergreens in Xingcheng officialdom, are the key to her lobbying this time, without their support, Zhao Ben is like a tiger whose claws have been removed.
"Hehe, don't worry, princess, with my Fan Jia here, the sky in Xingyang City is still up to the person surnamed Zhao." Fan Jia smiled, today's planning meeting opened his eyes, in the case of the great enemy's pressure, it is necessary to have a vision to choose a suitable partner to work with, this time, he believes that he will not be wrong. As for Zhao Ben, no matter whether the city is broken or not, it is estimated that the fate of Zhao Ben and Wang Ming will not be much better, and on the side of the imperial court, Prime Minister Zhao Gao may be unfavorable to him in the future, but now his life is at stake, and Fan Jia can't care about anything else.
Fan Jia, Guan Yue and the others dispersed, and Ying Yushu suddenly had a feeling of tiredness that was spinning, but fortunately, Gu Yunniang and Li Bi were still there, and they didn't spread on the ground by holding on to them.
Waiting for the little maid to send the water in a panic, Ying Yushu took a few sips, and Fang Shi relieved himself quietly: "Yun Niang, it's a matter of confidentiality, sooner rather than later, you immediately set off with Li Bi to go out of the city, and when you see Li Yuan, you will say that his sister-in-law wants to see him, and he knows it in his heart." ”
Gu Yunniang nodded in response, her heart sank, this message made her feel unreal that she couldn't touch the edges, Ying Yushu had already admitted that Li Yuan was her uncle in the middle of the line, and Weishenme didn't contact her directly, but also passed it on through her, and what did the place know in her heart. "Where is it so mysterious, could it be that my uncle and sister-in-law have privacy-.
Since Li Yuan is Li You's brother, why hasn't the Li family heard of such a person for so many years? In this, there is something hidden that no one knows.
The raging fire of gossip ignited in Gu Yunniang's heart, if it weren't for Li Bi next to her, she was afraid that she would have been unable to ask about Li Yuan's past.
――。
In the east of Xingyang City, most of the dwellings are low and damp, some are just a few pieces of wood nailed casually, there is a place to shelter from the wind and rain, Hou Xi, Hu Zhuang, He Ping with more than 1,600 Junyi people live here temporarily, these days, their lives are extremely difficult.
The only good house in this piece is rented by the wealthy Zhang Ying, and there are more than 30 people in the Zhang family, in addition to the old couple, including two sons, daughters-in-law, grandchildren, and a daughter, daughter-in-law, plus the family members who serve, slaves and maids, and the Zhang family's dispatch is not inferior to those officials.
Zhang Cheng is a Yangwu clan, mainly relying on the acres of land handed down by the ancestors to live, the ancestor of the Zhang family has been the great Situ of the Wei State, and his distant uncle is Zhang Yi, who is a ruthless man in the history of the Qin State. Zhang Yi's contribution to the Qin State is needless to say, without Zhang Yi, the Qin State would have been attacked and killed by the other six countries for a long time, and it is based on this layer that the Zhang family can still enjoy the scenery after the Qin State annexed the Wei land.
However, now Zhang Cheng is not happy, from Yangwu to Junyi, and then to Xingyang, the taste of sitting and eating empty mountains day by day is not comfortable, in this time of chaos, the income from farming can not be guaranteed, and those tenants with hoes are not sure that one day they will rush into your house, rob and burn all the property they see.
"Ah Ping, tell me, how are you going to live this day, if this Xingyang is occupied by the army outside, won't we be the same as those people in Daliang." Zhang Cheng is in his fifties, and because he has been well maintained, he looks a little rich, but he looks bitter.
"Ah Weng, I said a long time ago, after arriving in Xingyang, you must leave as soon as possible to avoid disaster." In front of Zhang Ying, a handsome and slender young man stood with his head bowed, his face was also magnificent, and his expression was a little unnatural.
"Now, what's the use of talking about this, I don't also think that this Xingyang City is solid enough, and last time it was not besieged for a few days, and nothing happened to Zuihou. Besides, these three rivers are full of war, where can we go? Zhang Cheng patted his thigh with a sigh and said.
"Ah Weng, Ah Ping, Mr. Hou Xi is here, and he is now outside the door." As he was talking, a middle-aged man in his thirties ran in while talking, it was Zhang Zhong, Zhang Zhong's second son.
