"He Ren... I advise you to open the city gate. I have mastered all your crimes. You can't just deny it yourself. If you can turn back at this time and open the city gate actively, I promise you to keep your lineage alive...!"

Although Li Zhan was angry at this time, he still held back his anger and expressed his bottom line.

But Li Zhan would not have thought that this He Ren was really shameless. After Li Zhan finished speaking, He Ren immediately showed a deep grudge and revenge expression and said, "General Li, why am I, He Ren, sorry for you? You want to frame me like this.

I, He Ren, have always been dedicated to serving the people in Dengzhou, but you, General Li, attracted the pirates as soon as you came to Dengzhou.

I think you are the one who colludes with the pirates.”

"He Ren... do you want to be obsessed with it?" Li Zhan roared angrily. At this moment, He Ren on the city tower shouted loudly: "Cum..."

With a "swoosh" sound, a sharp arrow shot at Li Zhan's chest.

"Dang..." Gao Hu's sword was upward and directly blocked the sharp arrow.

"Haha...haha...haha..." Li Zhan laughed obediently. Is it really his all day long? I was almost pecked by the geese today. When Li Zhan was in Lanzhou, he almost shot Songtsen Gampo to death with a cold arrow. Now, now he has become a person who almost got shot to death today.

Seeing Li Zhan's perverse smile, Ouyang Duoduo on the side said to Feng Ming beside him in a little scared: "Oh my, Xiao Fengming, the husband is really angry. The last time he smiled like this, the prince shivered."

Then Li Zhan pulled his horse back and entered the carriage. Then Li Zhan took out the Longquan Sword and said, "Gao Hu... Let you go to Qingzhou Prefecture, take Gu Longquan Sword, borrow 30,000 soldiers from Qingzhou Prefecture, and Gu wants to attack Dengzhou Prefecture."

"As for orders..." Gao Hu knelt on one knee, followed by Li Zhan's Longquan sword, and immediately took a few people to Qingzhou.

At this time, Li Zhan came to Dengzhou City again. Xue Rengui was worried that there would be a cold arrow, so he immediately ordered the tiger cavalry to set up a shield. Li Zhan pointed at He Ren with a sabre and shouted: "He Ren... you wait... you think you are guarding the city gate to death, and I, Li Zhan, have no choice. Three days later, I, Li Zhan, will attack the city... wait, and at that time, I will definitely let you commit suicide."

"Li Zhan... Come on... I'll attack the city now. I'll wait for you to chop my head. If I don't dare now, I advise you to get out early, otherwise, I will let you die in Dengzhou..." He Ren finally revealed his true face.

"Okay...Okay...Okay...I'm waiting for you to let me die in Dengzhou, someone comes... to camp!" After saying that, Li Zhan turned around and left.

................

Li Zhan's Tiger Cavalry Group set up camp and guarded in front of Dengzhou City. At this time, He Ren and Wang Xianye got together in the city.

"Brother He, what should I do now?" Wang Xianye asked with some concern at He Ren.

"What else can I do? When someone comes to Chang'an, I hope Secretary Wei can get the imperial envoy status and help us. As long as we can kill this Li Zhan, we will be fine." He Ren took a sip of the tea ceremony.

"Will Secretary Wei help us with all his strength? If Secretary Wei helps us with all his strength, what is our chance of victory?" Wang Xianye asked.

"I paid a million yuan. I think Wei Shangshu will definitely help us with all our strength. You must know that Wei Shangshu has something to do with Concubine Wei. If we can get the support of Concubine Wei, then we will not be in trouble. Not to mention a little Li Zhan, even if the prime minister comes, we are not afraid."

He Ren said it firmly, and the Secretary of Wei and Concubine Wei here are also truly powerful people in the Tang Dynasty.

Let’s talk about the slightly weaker Secretary Wei. Wei’s name is Wei Ting. He was born into the East Family of Wei’s family in Jingzhao. He was acquainted with Li Jiancheng when he was young. After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, he was appointed as the crown prince Wei. In the seventh year of Wude, he was exiled to the Yang Wengan incident and was exiled to the state of imprisonment. Li Shimin ascended the throne and served as the right secretary of the Shangshu and the Minister of Justice.

When it comes to Wei Ting, we have to talk about Jingzhao Wei's family... Jingzhao Wei's family has produced many talents, and Wei Ting is one of the less outstanding figures.

Jingzhao Wei family was one of the most important gentry families in the Tang Dynasty. It was very influential in the Jingzhao area of ​​the Tang Dynasty. There is a folk saying "Wei Du in the south of the city, go to Tianchi Wu"

The Wei family is like the major shareholder of Guanlong Group. Although they do not have the strength to control the shares, they can affect the direction of Guanlong Group. No matter who wants to control Guanlong Group, they must obtain the support of Jingzhao Wei.

Since the Han and Wei dynasties, the Guanlong area has always been the only source of traditional Han culture. Especially since the chaos in the late Jin Dynasty, many literati and ambitious scholars have taken refuge here. The northern ethnic minorities entered the Central Plains and had a small number of people. In order to maintain their long-term rule, both military and politically rely on the Han people who account for the majority of the population, they must and first of all culturally and culturally identify with the landlord class in the Guanlong area and must establish a solid political and military alliance with them.

It is precisely under this historical context that the so-called four surnames of Guanzhong emerged.

The "Four Surnames of Guanzhong" were Wei Pei Liuxue, the main gentry leader of the Guanzhong region in the Tang Dynasty, and had great reputation in the Guanzhong region. The main ones were the Wei family in Jingzhao, Xue family in Hedong, Pei family in Hedong, and Liu family in Hedong. These four surnames were used to becoming the "Four Surnames of Guanzhong".

Let’s talk about Concubine Wei. During the Wude period of the Tang Dynasty, Prince Li Jiancheng and King Qi Li Yuanji competed with King Qin Li Shimin for the chair in the Tai Chi Hall, and started a fierce battle. Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji and Li Shimin must obtain the support of Jingzhao Weishi if they want to win the final victory.

Li Jiancheng took the lead and received support from Wei Ting. Wei Ting was a descendant of Xiaoyao Duke of Northern Zhou. Although he was not very outstanding, he was a representative figure of the Jingzhao Wei family in the early Tang Dynasty. Wei Ting served as the position of Prince Wei and was one of the core subordinates of the Eastern Palace. Wei Ting's joining means that Jingzhao Wei family supports Li Jiancheng.

Li Shimin was the first to fight for the Wei family in Jingzhao. Li Jiancheng took the lead in fighting for the Wei family in Jingzhao. Li Shimin, who was unwilling to fall behind, adopted a marriage method and brought two beauties from the Wei family in Jingzhao into the Qin Palace in one go. The two beauties who were included in the Wei family in Qin Palace by Li Shimin were Wei Gui and Wei Nizi.

Wei Gui is Wei Xiaokuan's great-granddaughter. Wei Gui's father Wei Yuancheng inherited Wei Xiaokuan's Duke of Yun. Wei Gui is the legitimate daughter of Duke of Yun and the eldest daughter, with a very noble status.

During the Sui Dynasty, Wei Gui married Li Min, a noble son, and gave birth to a daughter. Li Min was killed by Emperor Yang of Sui, and Wei Gui became a female prisoner. After Wei Gui regained his freedom, he remarried Li Shimin with his daughter, whom he had with his ex-husband.

Wei Nizi is Wei Gui's cousin and Wei Xiaokuan's great-granddaughter. Wei Nizi married Wang Shichong's son and was canonized as the crown princess of Zheng State. When Li Shimin defeated Wang Shichong, he took Wei Gui and Wei Nizi into his arms.

For the Jingzhao Wei family, asking Wei Ting to serve Li Jiancheng and also let Wei Gui and Wei Nizi marry Li Shimin was a double-choice question. Whether the prince wins or the king of Qin wins, Jingzhao Wei family will not lose.

Everyone knows that Li Jiancheng lost and Li Shimin won. Wei Ting from Jingzhao Wei did not lose and was still valued by Li Shimin. Wei Gui was the big winner, she was canonized as a concubine by Li Shimin. Wei Nizi was also a winner, and she was canonized as Zhaorong by Li Shimin.

In the early Tang Dynasty, the empress was the emperor's only wife, and Li Shimin's wife was Empress Changsun. Below the empress were the fourth wife, namely the imperial concubine, Shufei, Defei, and Xian concubine. Wei Gui was the imperial concubine, the first of the fourth wife, and his status was second only to Empress Changsun.

Below the four concubines are the nine concubines, namely Zhaoyi, Zhaorong, Zhaoyuan, Xiuyi, Xiurong, Xiuyuan, Chongyi, Chonghua, Chongyuan. Wei Nizi ranks second among the nine concubines and has a very noble status.

The first of the fourth wife is the Jingzhao Wei family, the second of the Nine Concubines, or the Jingzhao Wei family.

Because of this, Wei Gui had the confidence to challenge Empress Changsun in the palace... and the disagreement between Concubine Wei and Empress Changsun is also a secret that many people know.

If He Ren gets the support of Wei Ting, what else is He Ren afraid of?
