Chapter 22 There is no dust in a stalk, and Ran Ranqing perfume is on the face
"Second brother, don't think about it..."
Li Hongmao waved his hand to stop Li Yu, "I am weak and can't stay for a long time. Just listen, but remember not to tell me, even the closest relatives must keep it confidential. Maybe one day you can say it publicly, but only if you have already seated on that chair..."
"!Second brother, you misunderstood, I don't want to..." Li Yu was shocked. He had just had an idea after traveling through time for three days, but this person actually saw it. This was too terrible, or was he just a simple fraud?
"It's all like this. Don't justify this. Just listen to me. My second brother is not weak, but the poison he got in the past many years ago!"
"What!" Li Yu's head was buzzing when he was stimulated by the news. He took two steps back and put his butt on a chair, and his whole body shook like a sieve.
Li Hongmao is only seventeen years old this year. He said he was infected with chronic poison many years ago. Wouldn't that mean that he was injured when he was underage? Who would be so cruel to attack a child?
Li Yu's face turned pale like a piece of paper, and various questions were passing by in his mind. He wanted to ask, but he didn't know how to speak.
"There is no dust in the end, and the fragrance is blooming on the surface of Ranran's fragrance." This is a lyrics that describes Lotus, but Li Yu felt that it would be most appropriate to describe his current feeling;
It seems that I will be about to come into contact with the other side of the beautiful Southern Tang Dynasty. The Southern Tang Dynasty and Yang Wu, before, were the first-class countries in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. The rulers did not mind to launch wars, protect the people, love the people, encourage agriculture and sericulture, and attach importance to business. Since the Huang Chao Rebellion, the lives of the people in the Southern Tang Dynasty were the best, and they were politically stable. Although there were hidden dangers of fighting for the throne of the Three-Body Body, they were generally within control. Compared with other countries' stupidity and killing and extermination, they were too much civilization, and it was indeed like the surface of Ranran's fragrance;
There is no dust in one stem?
This is very questionable. In the past, Li Yu was scared by the strange internal struggles of the palace. Most of the time, he buried his head in the sand like an ostrich, and took a ignorant attitude towards these things, as if he could block the smell of blood from his mind.
But now I am not like this. The more I know, the more dangerous I get, the more I know about the entire Southern Tang court and the more I am likely to make myself invincible.
A great demon in his previous life said, "Information is power."
The reason why lotus flowers are loved is that the part exposed to the water is so elegant and beautiful, which makes people intentionally or unintentionally ignore the fact that they are growing in the dark and smelly mud.
Today I seemed to follow this stem to see if there was dust. Li Yu felt that there seemed to be a thick and dirty blood in front of me...
Li Hongmao walked up to him and said slowly: "Sixth brother, I will only say these things once, and I will not explain them. You can remember them carefully. I will not admit it when you leave this door. You can regard it as the legacy left to you by your second brother."
"No" Li Yu was weak-hearted. When he heard this, tears flowed down his body. He grabbed the corner of Li Hongmao's clothes and said, "Second brother, don't scare me, you won't die. If your eldest brother is like this, the fifth brother will become a monk. I, I...you...you are my only brother..."
Li Hongmao patted his shoulder, "I was not in good health when I was a child, and I was worse than my elder brother, but not like today. These were all plots caused by the first year of Baoda, but I don't know who made the move..."
"In the first year of Baoda, is that the year Azu died and his father succeeded to the throne?"
"That's right, sixth brother, please listen. My grandfather got the elixir presented by the Taoist priest on February 2nd. After taking it, he passed away on February 27th. My elder brother and I were appointed by each in mid-February. He was the governor of Zhennan and the governor of Nandu (Nanchang), while I was the governor of Zhenhai and the governor of Dongdu (Yangzhou)."
"This? Brother, go to the south?" Li Yu became confused. Didn't Li Hongji show his reputation as the Zhenhai Jiedushi?
Li Hongmao did not answer his question, but asked back: "Sixth brother, let me ask you, brother, I, you three, according to wisdom, who is the first and who is the last?"
"This is naturally the second brother first, I'm the last one." Li Yu wiped his tears and replied casually, this is recognized by the family. The smartest person in Li Jing's generation is the fifth brother Li Jing, and the next generation mid laner is the second brother Li Hongmao in terms of mind.
"I knew you would say this, but I tell you, I'll tell you, in fact, don't belittle yourself. It's good. It seems that you are a little worse than me and my elder brother, but that's because your life has been stable since your birth, so your mind is on poetry and songs;
And my elder brother is different from your elder brother. When we were born, our grandfather was Xu Wen's adopted son, and we were always hostile to Xu Wen's biological son. Since then, we lived in crisis and fear. After that, I was in Wu in the Tang Dynasty, and all kinds of mysterious things happened frequently. Later, after his death, he caused all kinds of troubles, which forced us to care about the movements around us all the time. If we don't check it, it may be a fate that will never be restored. You will know about these things just now. Let's not say much. But my elder brother's wisdom is above me!"
"What!" Li Yu was hit too much today, and his mind was a little unrestrained, but calm down. If Li Hongji had a normal mind, how could he be attacked on both sides of Jiangbei? He punched the Later Han and kicked Wu Yue, and made a great comeback. Thinking of this, his expression was slightly restored to normal.
"That day, our two responsibilities were asked by the elder brother to ask the saint for exchange. He said that I was one year younger after all, and Jiangbei was on the front line, so he would rather go there. Nandu is located in the inland, relatively safe, and the military situation is not complicated, so he gave me. The saint disagreed at first, but later he repeatedly asked for it and finally allowed it. If I went to Runzhou that day, I would not have achieved such great achievements without his courage."
"I remember that at that time, the father personally supervised the matter. In the morning, the Ministry of War issued a transfer order and asked us to leave Jiangning in the afternoon. My mother also specially assigned a few masters from the Inner Office to serve as entourages. Think about it, why is this?"
"Insider? Is this?" Li Yu asked
"This is a hidden force controlled by the hands of father and mother. Outsiders don't know it. You will understand this in the future. Let me tell you the whole thing." Li Hongmao waved his hand and continued.
"Soon after, the father succeeded to the throne, and made the third uncle the crown prince, and let the fourth uncle take charge of the military power. However, he hid in the deep palace and claimed that he wanted to be virtuous. Only the Minister of the Secretariat Chen Jue and the Privy Councilor Cha Wenhui could see him. Of course, the people say that these two people are treacherous people who confuse the saints, but think about it, in other words, could the father be relieved only when he sees them?"
"This..." These things have never been heard of. Hearing these in a hurry caused great excitement to Li Yu. The eldest brother left Runzhou and there was such a hidden story inside, but why hasn't anyone ever mentioned it?
A teenager who is in his teens serves as a military governor is very common in the Five Dynasties. It is considered to train successors in advance, so that the generals below will be familiar with their future loyalty, and also that children will be exposed to dangerous society and military and political affairs as soon as possible.
Of course, in the past, children were just administrative chief officials, and the affairs secondary officials responsible for daily operations were held by the emperor's confidants, and there were many chief officials of the six ministries who served as local governors and deputy envoys of the Jiedushi.
Li Hongmao continued: "The one who followed my elder brother to Dongdu was Xiao Yan, and the one who followed me to Nandu was Feng Yansi. Although these two people are far inferior to the old man of Song, they have been in the long run, skilled in documentary work, and are proficient in official affairs."
After saying that, he looked at Li Yu gently, "Think about why the father was like this on that day? He is the eldest son and the crown prince, and he has occupied Xidu. Why did he send his two sons to Dongdu and Nandu at the same time?"
"this?"
When Li Yu heard about this history for the first time, he was a little unacceptable. He just listened carefully just now and tried to write down every word his second brother said. After being asked this, he suddenly felt that this was indeed too abnormal. Li Jing was already the prince at that time and had a lot of real power in his hands. At this time, he hurriedly separated his two sons. It was not like preparing for himself to ascend the throne, but clearly leaving a way out!
