Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 53 Answers from Du Ruhui
Looking at Xue Shou who was leaving excitedly, Li Zhiyun asked, "Keming thinks, what is Xue's way of joining the army?"

"Why does Your Highness believe in Du Ruhui so much, isn't His Highness afraid of Du Ruhui's whistleblowing?" He did not answer Li Zhiyun's question, but asked his own question.

"You have been silent just now, are you struggling with this matter?"

"Yes."

Li Zhiyun laughed dumbly, and then said: "Actually, it's nothing. I believe in the person I value unconditionally. Keming, although you have always been distant from me, I know that you are actually worthy of trust. And I have always wanted to be the person you trust. ."

"Of course, if I'm wrong and you go to inform, then I can only blame Li Zhiyun for not knowing people, I deserve it, it has nothing to do with you. Keming, from the first time I saw you, I knew the relationship between you and me. Fate, I believe in you, just as I believe in myself."

I believe in you as I believe in myself.

The words echoed in his mind.

"Du Ruhui's official at the end, why is His Highness so trustworthy." His eyes were moist.

Li Zhiyun patted him on the shoulder, "There is no reason, just because I believe you are an upright gentleman."

With a pair of clean eyes, Du Ruhui's heart was filled with admiration.

"My subordinates understand, please accept the humble post." He bowed deeply.

"Get up quickly."

Supporting Du Ruhui, Li Zhiyun punched him in the shoulder and said with a smile, "In the future, you can give me more advice, don't let me fall into the pit."

Du Ruhui smiled, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, you must do things when you are in a humble position."

"Hahaha." The two smiled at each other.

After laughing, cut back to the topic.

Du Ruhui analyzed: "Your Majesty, Xue Canjun's strategy is correct. If Wang Gui knew about this, he would definitely unite with the prince to deal with the Dugu clan. However, Xue Canjun has selfish intentions."

Hearing this, Li Zhiyun frowned, "Why do you say that?"

"Your Majesty, once Wang Gui instigates the prince to attack, the Dugu family will no longer be able to get close to the prince. In this way, all the people from the East Palace will leave Shandong."

In an instant, Li Zhiyun's brows twitched violently.

"But in this case, what can Xue join the army get?"

Du Ruhui said in a low voice, "The person was sent from His Highness, what would the Crown Prince think?"

Li Zhiyun's pupils shrank, "The prince thinks that I support him!"

"That's right." Du Ruhui said, "Not only that, Wang Gui will also think that His Highness is close to them and rejects Guan Long. In this way, he will win over him in every possible way, and even force His Highness to make a choice. Xue Canjun was originally from the Xue family in Hedong. , belonging to the Shandong nobility. His Highness supports the prince, isn't that what they want to see?"

In an instant, Li Zhiyun wet his underwear with cold sweat.

Just now, he almost went wrong.

Even if Dugu didn't know about this, as Du Ruhui said, people were sent from him, and the prince could spread the news at any time.

"Why did he design me!" Li Zhiyun gritted his teeth, "I regard him as a brother, treat him with more courtesy, and never slow down, why did he do this!"

This is a struggle about the choice of the successor of the Tang Dynasty.

Judging from the current team of the East Palace, the prince is obviously biased towards the Shandong nobility.

The Shandong nobility has always been at odds with the Guanlong nobility. This is a century-long struggle between the two groups.

In the former Sui Dynasty, the fundamental reason for the abolition of Prince Yang Yong was that there were too many Guanlong people around him, which violated Yang Jian's taboo.

Yang Jian felt that Yang Yong's ability could not control the powerful Guanlong nobles at all, and the Sui Dynasty would sooner or later follow the old path of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.Therefore, he chose the prodigal Yang Guang.

Who is the number one horse boy beside Yang Guang?
Hongnong Yang, Yang Su!
Shandong gentry does not simply refer to the five surnames and seven Wangs, but in fact, for a long time, it is a collective name for a family of clansmen.

The so-called "five surnames and seven looks" was a tactic used by Emperor Wei Xiaowen to bribe the hearts of the northern gentry.

From the map, Taiyuan Wang, Boling Cui, Qinghe Cui, Zhaojun Li, Fanyang Lu, Xingyang Zheng, and Longxi Li are actually all around Dahe, that is, in the north.

In the [-]-year north-south split, in order to integrate the Han people, Emperor Wei Xiaowen proposed aristocratic clans to divide the Xianbei nobles and the Han clan, and the two intermarry.

The Cui, Lu, Wang, Li, and Zheng families all took root in Hebei or Bingzhou, and they were ruled by the Northern Wei Dynasty.

As a result, the saying of five surnames and seven Wang gradually spread.

But in fact, in addition to these seven families, there are many famous families in the world.For example, the Hongnong Yang clan, the Hedong Xue clan, the Langya Wang clan, the Wenxi Pei clan, etc., their power is not weak at all.

In Bingzhou, there is a saying of 'the king of the north and the king of the south'.

In the battle for the prince of the former Sui Dynasty, the Shandong nobility won, and the Guanlong nobility lost.

So when you look at the history books, you will find that there was a period of time when Pei Ju and Pei Yun, who had heard of the Pei family, were both prime ministers. How glorious this is.

The Guanlong nobles did not sit still. When Yang Guang abandoned Guanzhong and went to Luoyang, the rebellion of the Guanlong nobles was doomed.

All of this may seem accidental, but it is in fact inevitable.

Yang Guang used the Shandong gentry to deal with the Guanlong nobles, moved the capital to Luoyang, got rid of Guanzhong, escaped the control of the Guanlong nobles, and indirectly made the Guanlong nobles make up their minds to kill the Sui Dynasty!
The final result is also clear to everyone, Sui Dynasty GG.

You can't say that Yang Guang is wrong, you can only say that he failed in the struggle.

And now, history repeats itself.The Taiyuan Wang family of Shandong gentry chose the prince Li Jiancheng, and they began to bet again.

According to history, the Shandong gentry were defeated this time.The Wang family was at a loss, until they bet on Li Zhi again, and the Taiyuan Wang family had a queen, and they rose again.

Unconsciously, Li Zhiyun found that he had already entered the game.

He thought of Dou's closeness to Li Shimin, and his heart was cold.These old foxes have already begun to lay out the next generation.

"Why?" Li Zhiyun asked himself again.

Du Ruhui said meaningfully: "Because Your Highness is only His Highness, and the Prince will not be the Prince in the future. Xue Canjun believes that His Highness can only be His Highness, only His Highness who supports the Prince, or someone else."

Li Zhiyun fully understood that Xue Shou's approach was based on a principle.

That is, Li Zhiyun can only be the king of Chu, he can only support his brothers and cannot become an independent king of Chu.

From this point of view, Xue Shou did not actually betray Li Zhiyun, he was just pushing Li Zhiyun to lean towards Li Jiancheng.

However, Li Zhiyun did not intend to hand over his life to others to decide in the future.Especially, he knew that Li Jiancheng would lose, and when his future wife was Yang, it would be even more impossible to obey others.

Xue Shou did not understand this.

Li Zhiyun took a deep breath and whispered, "Maybe we think too much."

Du Ruhui said: "Nevertheless, the king must act cautiously and must not be controlled by others."

"You're right." Li Zhiyun said, "You can't be controlled by others."

It took a long time for Li Zhiyun to regain his peace of mind.

"Keming, you just said that His Highness can only be His Highness. What about you, will you feel wronged if you follow me?"

"His Royal Highness's actions are different from what I just said." Du Ruhui looked at Li Zhiyun with a pair of pupils, as if seeing through everything.
