Su Fengji took a step forward and replied, "General Li is a shrewd person, and he should understand how big the gap between the Yiwu Army and the imperial court is. If he takes advantage of Li Shouzhen's rebellion, he may be able to get away with it for a while, but as long as the imperial army exterminates Li Shouzhen and strikes back, with less than 20,000 soldiers and horses, how can he stop my Han Huanghuang Tianwei?

Therefore, General Li simply abandoned his martial arts, threw out some 'equality theory', and defiled himself.

Your Majesty, the gentry have always been the foundation of the emperor's rule over the people, and this 'theory of equality' actually says that the four people are equal, and that even the lowly slaves are equal to the gentry.

Weichen heard that even the scholars of the Southern Tang Dynasty and Southern Chu dared to defy Dingzhou in vain and wanted to refute this fallacy at the banquet in the Lingering Garden.

As soon as the 'theory of equality' came out, General Li's foundation was gone, and it was difficult to have greater development, and no matter how strong the Yiwu Army was, it could only imprison itself in the two prefectures of Ding and Zhuo, and honestly guard the Liao State in the north for His Majesty.

With General Li's intelligence, how could he not have thought of this result? Even if he had not expected this result, judging from the previous situation, he should have stopped a long time ago, so how could he have foolishly held a feast in the garden with great fanfare?

It can be seen that General Li deliberately destroyed his reputation and showed his loyalty to His Majesty. ”

"Okay, that's right!" Liu Chengyou stood up and walked around the study with his hands behind his back, looking excited, and it took a long time to calm down, and he turned to Su Fengji and asked, "In Su Aiqing's opinion, how should the imperial court respond." ”

Su Fengji had already calculated in his heart, and replied: "The gentry is the foundation of the imperial court, and it must not be shaken, so I ask Your Majesty to make a clear edict to the world, refute General Li's so-called 'equality theory', and remove General Li from the post of Taibao to show vigilance." (After Liu Chengyou succeeded to the throne, Li Fengyun was promoted from the crown prince to the prince, which was not explained in the previous article, and is made up here.) ）

"This ......" Liu Chengyou hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is this too serious, Li Taibao is not a big mistake, Li Shouzhen conspired against him at the beginning, and Li Taibao was also the first to notice it, and the report was meritorious." ”

Su Fengji smiled and said: "Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, General Li is a smart person, so he will naturally understand His Majesty's painstaking efforts to protect him." If Your Majesty is worried that he will hurt General Li's loyalty, he may wish to send him a secret decree to comfort him. General Li has made great contributions to the Han Dynasty, will it really be difficult for him? However, after some time, the rumors will be quieter, and it will not be too late to canonize him again.

With General Li's meritorious deeds, are you still worried that you won't be crowned a prince and a king in the future?"

Liu Chengyou said happily: "It should be so, but you can't chill Li Taibao's loyalty!" and glanced at Yang Wei, Shi Hongzhao and others, and continued: "Whoever is loyal to me, who is disobedient to me, I have a scale in my heart, it is clear." I am a person who values love and righteousness, whoever is good to me, I will also defend him a hundred times, glory and wealth, high-ranking officials and lords, he is indispensable!"

Yang Wei, Shi Hongzhao and others lowered their heads one after another, their eyes stretching and contracting, carefully pondering what Liu Chengyou meant.

In the palace of Linhuangfu in Shangjing, which is thousands of miles away from Kaifeng, Yelu Ruan, the emperor of Liao, is also walking around the palace, also thinking about what Li Fengyun wants to do.

"What kind of equality is just nonsense!"

Yelu Ruan found that he had no time understanding Li Fengyun's intentions.

"In this world, the strong have always been respected, where is equality? How can the nobles be equal to the commoners? How can the slaves be equal to the masters? In this way, the world will not be chaotic? Nonsense, nonsense. Li Fengyun, what exactly do you want to do?"

Yelu Ruan stopped and looked straight south through the main hall gate. The palace wall blocked Yelu Ruan's view, and he couldn't see the mountains and rivers of Dingzhou.

"Does he want to rebel and build momentum for himself?"

A thought suddenly popped into Yelu Ruan's mind.

"If that's the case, then that's good! The Central Plains will have a few more years of chaos. As long as the Central Plains is chaotic for a few more years, when I calm down the situation in Daliao, hum, at that time, it will be the time for me to go south to conquer the Central Plains. ”

In Yelu Ruan's eyes, there seemed to be a scene of Yelu Deguang stepping on the land of the Central Plains with thousands of troops, and the sound of horses' hooves made people excited and boiling. Conquering the prosperous land of the Central Plains and becoming the great Heavenly Khan is the dream of almost every master of the steppe.

Under the city in the river, on the dilapidated earthen fortress, Guo Wei took Guo Rong, Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Kuangyi and others to look at the messy camp that was broken by Li Shouzhen, without a trace of expression on his face.

Guo Rong said: "The third time, the earthen fortresses that were finally built were destroyed by Li Shouzhen again, although the casualties of the soldiers and the people were not heavy, but, father, are you really not worried?"

"Worried about what?" Guo Wei asked casually.

"That little emperor Liu Chengyou in Kaifeng City, has been defeated again and again!"

"Shut up!" Guo Wei looked around, "Your Majesty's name should be called casually? If someone with a heart hears it, a big disrespectful charge will be suppressed, and this commander will not be able to protect you!" He turned to Zhao Kuangyin and asked, "How is the rout army gathered?"

"Gather up eighty!" Zhao Kuangyin replied, "Since the last two times the commander did not punish the deserters who broke up, these guys are very conscious, and they will gather back to the camp in the morning, and at most when it is dark, they should come back almost completely."

These guys have already learned the skin, once Li Shouzhen's soldiers and horses rush up and shoot the arrows in their hands, they will immediately run away. I was tired of running and hungry, so I went back to the camp to make a fire and cook. Where are there any soldiers?

Those people have also learned well, and they escaped hundreds of feet away, so they simply didn't escape, and they all squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands and waited for the officers and soldiers to be recruited!"

"It's strange if you don't run!" Guo Rong didn't pay much attention to Guo Wei's reprimand just now, walked a few steps forward, kicked on the remaining section of the fence, the fence broke in response, and walked to the side of the earthen barrier that was not completely destroyed, stomped his foot violently, and immediately jumped back quickly, only to hear the sound of "boom" collapse, and the earthen barrier collapsed again.

Guo Rong pointed to the fence and said: "Such a thin fence has not been protected by deer, and it is not buried deep enough, how can it withstand the impact of the cavalry?

This is simply tofu dregs, no, not even tofu dregs. Father, how can people defend such a camp? It is long overdue to cut off a few heads to establish authority!"

Guo Wei shook his head and said, "Rong'er, don't be anxious, isn't Li Shouzhen still staying in the city in the river? The siege of the city is a long-term job, I don't care about temporary gains and losses, let the soldiers move!" He changed the topic and asked, "What do you think of the recent disturbances in Dingzhou?" Rong'er, you say it first!"
