Chapter 3476 Qi Wang Li You
The grievances between the Guzang Yin family and the Li family in Longxi have been around for a long time.
The father of Concubine Yin De and Yin Hongzhi, Yin Shishi, was the son of Yin Shou, the famous founding general of the Sui Dynasty. He had a kindhearted nature and outstanding martial arts. When he was still weak, he worshiped Yi Tong Sansi and became a hussar general. After Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty came to the throne, Master Yin Shishi "remembered the kindness of the Sui Dynasty and the old residence", so he was loyal to Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty also trusted and valued him very much, and moved him to be the governor of Zhangye. , after the Yinshi division repelled the rebellion of Dangxiang and Tuyuhun, he was awarded general Zuo Yiwei with military power.
Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty made an eastward tour and personally conquered Goguryeo. He was granted the title of Master Yinshi to stay in Xijing to assist the acting king Yang You in guarding Chang'an.
In the thirteenth year of Daye, Tang Guogong Li Yuan raised troops in Taiyuan. At that time, only Li Yuan and his son Li Shimin were in Taiyuan. The eldest son Li Jiancheng, the third son Li Yuanji and the concubine Li Zhiyun were all in their hometown in Longxi. Yin Shishi immediately sent people to search for him. Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji fled to Taiyuan, but abandoned Li Zhiyun. As a result, 14-year-old Li Zhiyun was captured and taken to Chang'an by the Sui army. Yin Shishi ordered him to be beheaded.
In this way, Yinshishi still refused to give up and ordered "to uncover his tomb and destroy his five temples", destroy the Li family's temple, and excavate the Li family's ancestral graves.
This was considered a punishment for a rebel by a loyal minister of the Sui Dynasty, but it was an unbearable humiliation for the Li family. From then on, the Li family and Yin Shishi had a hatred of each other and were incompatible with each other.
Later, Li Yuan led his army to attack Chang'an. Yin Shishi defended the city desperately, but was eventually defeated and captured. Li Yuan hated him with all his heart. Although he acted very generously in order to win over people's hearts, many civil servants and generals of the Sui Dynasty ignored the blame and even entrusted them with important tasks. However, he showed no mercy to Yin Shishi. , several of them were greedy, cruel, and rejected the righteous teacher, so they were all killed."
But in the end, in order to appease people's hearts, only one Yin Shishi was killed, but his two children were forgiven and joined Ye Ting.
His daughter Yin Yue'e was very beautiful, so she was given by Li Yuan to his son Li Shimin as his concubine. She was deeply loved by Li Shimin and left him with his fifth son Li You. Therefore, after His Majesty Li Er ascended the throne, Yin Hongzhi was released from Yeting, and Li You was granted the title of King of Qi, while Yin Hongzhi was appointed as the Chief Historian of the Palace of Qi.
……
Now, the eldest grandson Wuji is here to support Li You as the crown prince. In the future, it is more likely that he will succeed to the throne and become the emperor. How can Yin Hongzhi not be overjoyed?
He could not forget the tragic past when his father died tragically and his family was confiscated, which turned him from a well-off and well-fed son of an aristocratic family into a bereaved dog, and finally ended up in Yeting where he suffered from fatigue and humiliation.
Now, if Qi Wang Li You, who has the blood of Guzang Yin family, finally gets the throne of Li Tang, how happy would it be?
Changsun Wuji walked to the door of Prince Qi's mansion, paused, and asked: "Does Prince Qi know that I am coming?"
Yin Hongzhi said: "I don't know for the time being, but I don't dare to leak the whereabouts of Zhao Guogong at will, just in case something unexpected happens."
He knew that Changsun Wuji secretly returned to Chang'an from Liaodong and secretly presided over the overall situation of the military remonstrance. Outsiders did not know about it, so he did not inform Qi Wang Li You in advance about his intention to visit. Li You's character is a bit reckless and has a strong rebellious mentality. No one can predict what kind of reaction he will have when he learns that the Guanlong clan wants to push him to the top...
Changsun Wuji nodded and then stepped into the gate of the mansion. Yin Hongzhi led the way on one side. Both of them were speechless all the way to the back house of Prince Qi's mansion.
In front of a dormitory door, there were dozens of guards standing in front of the door. When they saw Yin Hongzhi coming, they pushed them to the sides and let them out of the door.
Obviously, Yin Hongzhi has already controlled everyone in Prince Qi's mansion...
Changsun Wuji was very satisfied. As long as Li You was under Yin Hongzhi's control, he could not tolerate Li You's refusal. It is said that such a good thing is simply a God-given opportunity. Who in the world is not eager for that position? But now that brothers Li Zhi and Li Tai have learned from the past, Changsun Wuji has to consider what to do if Li You also refuses to take the reserve position...
When the two came to the door, Yin Hongzhi said loudly: "Your Highness, Duke Zhao wants to see you!"
A surprised voice came out from the hall: "Who are you talking about?"
Yin Hongzhi glanced at Changsun Wuji, who had a serious face, and said again: "It's Duke Zhao who wants to see you!"
"Ah! Isn't Zhao Guogong in Liaodong with his father to conquer Goguryeo? Please, please!"
Li You in the hall was surprised at first, and then hurriedly summoned him.
Yin Hongzhi bowed slightly and asked Changsun Wuji to go first. Changsun Wuji nodded and walked into the hall, followed closely by Yin Hongzhi.
The hall was brightly lit, and several pretty maids were carrying tea, cakes and other items, all of which were placed on a coffee table. King Qi Li You, dressed in regular clothes, was lazily reclining on the soft couch behind the coffee table. When Changsun Wuji entered, he sat upright.
Changsun Wuji stepped forward, bowed his hands to the ground, and said respectfully: "Old minister, I have an audience with Your Highness."
Li You waved his hand casually, yawned, and said: "You are a distinguished relative of the country, and your hard work has made you great achievements. How can I accept such courtesy? Come on, come on, please take a seat. I happen to be a little hungry, so let me They had prepared tea and cakes. It was so late at night that Duke Zhao had not eaten yet, so he was just filling his stomach. "
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Changsun Wuji did not refuse. Wen Yan took two steps forward and knelt down under Li You. Yin Hongzhi sat down on the other side. Then he waved his hand and dismissed all the maids in the palace.
Li You looked at his uncle, and then at Changsun Wuji, who had a serious look on his face. He picked up a piece of pastry, put it in his mouth, chewed it and swallowed it. Then he sighed and said, "Duke Zhao Guo came to visit overnight, and no news was revealed in advance. Instead, I contacted my uncle first... There must be nothing good going on. But since Zhao Guogong is here, no matter whether it is good or bad, I might as well listen to it. Tell me, you left the rebels in chaos all over the city and ran into my palace. Why come? ”
His tone was not polite because he didn't like Changsun Wuji.
As the head of the Changsun family, Changsun Wuji had always only paid attention to the three legitimate sons born to Queen Wende. Why did Changsun Wuji pay attention to the concubine princes such as King Wu, King Qi, and King Yue? Normally when we meet, we only show some courtesy and don't even raise our eyelids.
Li You was even better. After all, he had a perverse personality and was willful. He had never been liked by his father. He posed no threat to the throne, and Changsun Wuji didn't bother to care about him. Princes like King Wu, who were talented, wise and decisive, were often suppressed by Changsun Wuji.
But even if he doesn't like Changsun Wuji in his heart, he doesn't dare to be too presumptuous. No matter how stupid he is, he knows that the Hecheng rebels are controlled by Changsun Wuji. This "yin man" wants to dethrone Donggong, who is not close to him. How dare he dare to risk the disapproval of the world? How could he, a mere king of Qi, be able to contend with his viciousness and cruelty?
I felt both fearful and unhappy, and very torn...
Changsun Wuji's posture of kneeling and sitting was very standard. After hearing this, he leaned forward slightly to show respect, and said in a deep voice: "The East Palace has no virtue and is doing the opposite. There are complaints from inside and outside Chang'an! Your Majesty has long had the ambition of Yi Chu, but he can't bear to fight against each other. , so we endure it again and again. At present, the people, civilians, and troops everywhere are not angry with the East Palace. In order to rule the country, they met to go to the city to carry out military remonstrances. It seemed that they were ignoring the general trend, but in fact, the general trend was that the dethronement of the East Palace was inevitable. Your Highness is of His Majesty's blood and a noble nobleman of Tianhuang. At this time when the government is in turmoil and the country is in turmoil, he should step forward and stop the war. , order the people of the world to bring order to the chaos!”
He didn't care much about Li You's attitude, so what if he was dissatisfied with him? In the past, although Li You was a prince, he had no weight in his eyes. In the future, if I can single-handedly push him to the throne of prince or even emperor, I will naturally be able to control him steadily.
If he obeys me obediently, he will naturally become rich and powerful. If he doesn't know the current affairs... what's the problem if he is in ruins?
Li You was still yawning a moment ago. After hearing Changsun Wuji's words, his eyes widened in an instant, and all his drowsiness disappeared.
He opened his mouth wide and said in disbelief: "Zhao...what did Duke Zhao say? Well, I am stupid and don't know what I mean."
Yin Hongzhi said from the side: "Your Highness, as Zhao Guogong intended, the rebels are entering the city to carry out military remonstrance in order to depose the East Palace. However, the country cannot be without a king for a day. Your Majesty is currently in Liaodong. The prince has authorized the supervision of the country. When the East Palace is occupied, After being deposed, it is necessary to appoint a crown prince immediately. Duke Zhao and the Guanlong family know that His Highness is loyal, filial, benevolent and decisive, and intend to make His Highness the crown prince. What do you think of His Highness? "
"Hoo..."
Li You suddenly felt a mouthful of thick phlegm stuck in his throat. He couldn't swallow it or spit it out, which made him unable to breathe.
He quickly sat upright and breathed hard, but his whole body could not help but tremble slightly... (End of Chapter)
