Chapter 35: The Way of Tricks
The civil officials of the Southern Tang Dynasty were roughly divided into three factions. Song Qiqiu led Feng Yansi, Chen Jue, Feng Yanlu and Cha Wenhui to fight against the Sun Party led by Sun Sheng, Xiao Yan and Han Xizai, and could not raise their heads. Xu Kai, Xu Xuan, Yan Xu, Li Jianxun and other famous officials from the aristocratic families were independent of the two parties and only wanted to protect themselves. At most, they were secretly helping the Sun Party, claiming to be the Xiaoyao faction...
Now I say I want to go to Song Qiqiu's house, wherever I go.
"Don't you believe me?" Li Yu went to pull Li Jingcheng, but the latter was unmoved and just looked at him coldly.
"I believe, so where are you asked me to go?" Li Yu was a little confused about the situation.
"How do you speak in a foggy way," he complained again.
Li Jingqiu picked up a handful of whisk and said, "I think your inference is good. This matter is probably true, so aren't you curious about whose work is this matter?"
"Of course...of course..." Li Yu stuttered suddenly. Who did this?
The purpose of making gunpowder is to set fire. Judging from the situation, these people have collected almost all the ingredients, just mix them well. Moreover, from the time point of view, the upstairs of Guxia happened to be in the middle of the building today.
But who would be so crazy? I have never thought about this question.
Looking at the corner of Li Jingchang's sarcastic mouth, Li Yu suddenly thought of a terrible name and suddenly felt chill all over his body. "He? No, no, it won't be him, no."
Li Jingqiu pulled Li Yu to the yard, pretending to admire the snow scene and said, "It seems that it's not too stupid. Finally, I thought about it, okay, don't say it. God knows if someone will hear it, I didn't say it, but if he really gets so popular, he will benefit the most."
This person is naturally the crown prince Li Hongji. If it is a fire today, then the three brothers Li Jing will return to heaven together, and the crown prince will naturally ascend the throne to the throne.
And just now, a historical fact suddenly flashed through Li Yu's mind. The reason why Li Yu became emperor inexplicably in history was because Li Jing once threatened his son Li Hongji to be transferred to the crown prince Li Jingsui, which led to the crown prince's crazy nature and actually designed to poison his third uncle;
Then Li Jing was secretly thinking about his mistakes in the palace. It is said that during the confinement period, he saw Li Jingsui's wronged soul seeking his life every day. In less than half a year, he died. Will a slaughter of thousands of people with blood be killed by the person he poisoned to die?
The genius believes it!
The fourth brother Li Jingda completely lost hope of ascending the throne due to repeated defeats and other factors, and eventually made Li Yu pick up his wallet.
Is it difficult for this history to be staged in advance, and it will be even worse?
"Okay, okay, don't guess randomly. Although he benefits the most, it may not be him. What if he is a thief who cares about Yang Wu?"
"What about the detailed work sent by the Qian family of Wu and Yue? Or the people from the pseudo-Zhou Guo Wei, right?"
"Since I call you a nephew, I must give you some benefits, right?"
"Benefits, this is going to die. What other benefits can it be?" Li Yu jumped with his feet
Li Jingqiu shook the whisk and said, "This is a great benefit, it's that position."
"What?! Don't deceive me" Li Yu was shocked
“What is the benefit of me liing to you?
On the contrary, if you have obtained the Grand Priesthood, you have to give me a king because of the past. I have agreed that I am not interested in Uncle Huang.”
"Why are you getting more outrageous when you say it?"
"That's you stupid!" Li Jingqiu looked like a rotten wood that could not be carved, and his expression seemed to have eaten two pounds of feces. "You have lost your mind when you read books all day long. Let me ask you, if the fire gets hot, my eldest, third, and fourth all go to see the second, and my eldest nephew is the emperor, what will your ending be? If the fire is really... released...well?
We, a troubled son, killed his father, brother, and uncle, and nephew, don’t you tell me about how many emperors have been replaced in three to five years?”
"It would be fine if he didn't let the fire go. If he let it go, you will not be the first one. Don't stare at me. Being a thief is guilty. Some things will eventually be revealed."
"As long as you jump out under the banner of shaking the Emperor out of the First Emperor, everyone will naturally support you, right? So the day he ascended the throne is your death. Only when you die will he feel at ease, and even a few younger brothers will not be able to save it."
Li Yu can only nod
"That's good. Although I think my eldest nephew is cruel and ruthless, he may not be able to do the matter of killing his father. It's not that he is soft-hearted, but that it's not time to tear his face off."
"But, no one can guarantee this matter, we can only doubt or assume that it is his plan, which is one of them;
Secondly, even if it wasn't really done by him, he would ascend the throne. If you jump out and say he killed the regicide, how many people with bad intentions would stand here?
So no matter whether it was the fire he set or not, as long as he ascends the throne, you kid will never survive."
"So, you asked me to go to the Song family for protection?"
"Hehehehe," Li Jingqing smiled extremely sinisterly. "Song Qiqiu is the most important minister, but my elder brother has never liked him. Do you know why?"
After pausing, he continued, "You don't know this secret. My father was at a loss for the four sons born to Empress Song. The same parents have not had much age difference. They should be similar in intelligence and stupidity. So they came up with the way to use the position of the crown prince as a valuable title. The court officials also took their own teams and chose to support one of the crown princes. This is not the name of the establishment of the crown prince, which is clearly the Miao people raising the Gu!"
He curled his lips and continued, "And this old man from Song was begging my fourth brother at the beginning, because the fourth brother is the youngest and the stupidest..."
Li Yu "..."
"So, Song Qiqiu had the ambition at that time to support another puppet he could control so that he could keep his life safe;
At that time, the eldest and second brother were the most appropriate candidates for application, but why did he look for the fourth brother?
Not only because he is the stupidest, but mainly because he is stupid, no one wants to rely on him. The eldest, second and third brothers have their own team. Lord Song is just adding icing on the cake, but when he goes to the fourth brother, he is a timely help. Besides, no one around the fourth brother is like a piece of paper, which is convenient for him to install his own people in the future;
I offended my elder brother for this matter. This is actually a good person. Your grandmother wanted to kill my mother, but my elder brother came forward several times to persuade him. But my elder brother is definitely not like that on the surface. He is very revenge. Don’t look at me like this. He is your father, so you will naturally be a good person.
Of course, he is indeed not too bad, but why did he end up with the big treasure among these four people?
Think about it? A fool like you might do it?”
After a lot of trouble, Li Yu began to feel dizzy again. Fortunately, after hearing Li Hongmao's talk about the old things in the first year of Baoda that day, he had a general idea of these things. Now he wouldn't be too surprised to hear these things.
On the contrary, Li Jingqi's words can be confirmed with Li Hongmao's words. At least both of them explained that Li Jing's three brothers wanted to be emperors back then, but as a result, the elders had the most tricks and grabbed this chair.
"Okay, okay, don't go around the circle. If you go to the Song family, you will send yourself to his hands. At that time, he will jump out and swing the basin of the fire to my eldest nephew's head. With his influence in the court, he will say whoever kills the regency will be killed. You can just pick up the ready-made emperor."
"Then, wouldn't I become a puppet?"
"Nonsense, it's better than being dead. Besides, with your fifth uncle here, how could you play with Old Fox Song? "Li Jingqian looked proud.
"No," Li Yu's mind gradually recovered from the shock and said coldly, "Why did Song Qiqiu have to help me? Can't he directly serve my elder brother?"
"Huh?" Li Jingqian looked very excited. "The ancients said that living with good people is like entering a room of orchids for a long time and not smelling the fragrance. Since they have transformed with it, they cannot tell that your rotten wood has been with me for a long time, and he has become a pillar of the country. It is indeed a blessing for my Tang Dynasty..."
"You..." Li Yu couldn't complain. This person's mouth was too damaged, and he could still use it in analyzing such things at this time...
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Of course, the old man Song can serve your elder brother, so I'm asking you to go to his house? Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe' Li Jing's laughter was full of sinisterness and viciousness
"You're going, I'll go outside for you to make some noise. Gong An Ding wants to take Zuo Cheng as his teacher and come to ask for courtesy... You said that if the old turtle wants to serve, according to your elder brother's extremely suspicious nature, will he dare to accept it?"
"Old turtle...uh...how did you think of this word?" Li Yu was infected by him and began to think about it in his mind.
"Well, the kind of place I often go to, um, I use this for scolding people..."
"...You are cruel." Li Yu was helpless, but he really admired Li Jinglong's quick reaction. As soon as he entered the gate of Song's house, he announced to everyone that the two had formal alliances. In addition, he had no backer or military power behind him, but he was the first heir after the incident. OnePlus was really a good puppet. For an ambitious man like Song, even though he knew it was a pit, he could only jump down.
"Give a condition he can't refuse" Somehow the lines from "The Godfather" popped up in my mind.
This Li Jingchong's ability to figure out people's hearts is really terrible...
For a moment, he was even a little moved. He was not completely useless. Song Qiqiu's biggest advantage was that he had enough power in the court to influence most of the civil service system;
But the disadvantage is that he has no foundation in the army, and Li Bing also understands the principle that the spear produces the imperial career. Therefore, although he trusts Song all the time, he will never let him get involved in the army. He will also be with Li Jing.
The warriors of the Southern Tang Dynasty were three points, Li Hongji's Jiangbei Army system, Li Jingda's Imperial Guard City Defense System, and Li Jing's direct line - General Bian Hao, the governor of Jiangzhou Fenghua, General Bian Hao, if his father and three brothers die, facing the aggressive Li Hongji and his confidant Chai Kehong and the forces behind him, the Imperial Guard System and Bian Hao System are likely to be invaded to the alliance between him and Song Qiqiu.
