Dajin royal family

Chapter 275 Longxi Li (thanks to the crazy runner for the monthly pass)
And County.

After Li Yuan was relegated by the emperor in the second year of Hongye, the Li family in Guanzhong began a five-year period of depression.

Although Li Yuan really wanted to become an official again, the news from the Guanzhong nobles told him that this was basically impossible.

Today, he is strictly on guard against the nobles in Guanzhong, and he has no chance.

But today, Dou Zhang came to the Li Mansion.

"Zhide, long time no see."

In the courtyard, Li Yuan and his son Li Jishi sat with Dou Zhang.

Li Yuan nodded, looking at Dou Zhang with hopeful eyes.

"Brother Dou, come here and be safe."

He hoped that Dou Zhang came to him this time not to fight the autumn wind, but to help him return to the court, which is what he has always been thinking about.

Several people exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Dou Zhang quickly stated the purpose of the trip.

After listening to Dou Zhang's words, Li Yuan and Li Jishi were stunned for a long time.

Li Yuan stammered: "This news is really true"

What should he say?
As soon as they met, let him secretly hoard food and grass and recruit people. Isn't this treason?

Li Jishi cupped his hands and said, "Uncle Shi, why did you suddenly do this?"

This kind of thing is a serious crime of beheading. Although the world is not peaceful now, it does not mean that they will take advantage of the chaos to rebel.

Dou Zhang seemed to know their expressions and doubts well, and immediately said: "I think you all know that today, we are treated like a scourge and suppressed again and again. If things go on like this, I am afraid that we Guanzhong nobles will not be able to survive. After a few generations, we will all become Mud legs."

There are some things that don’t need to be said explicitly, as long as you point them out, everyone is a smart person and can understand them.

"Having said that, but now that the imperial court is strong and strong, if we start an incident, it will be difficult for us to succeed."

Li Yuan quickly digested Dou Zhang's news and changed his identity.

He also understands what Dou Zhang said, and today he is indeed very wary of the nobles in Guanzhong. If things go on like this, what Dou Zhang said will completely become true.

Dou Zhang said: "Your worry is not unreasonable, as I said before, it only allows you to secretly accumulate strength, and does not allow you to raise troops now."

"Besides, there will be an even bigger banditry outbreak in Shandong and Hebei soon, and the imperial court will definitely turn around to suppress the rebellion. That's your chance."

Li Yuan was still a little hesitant, the news was horrifying.

He just wanted to be an official again, but he never thought of rebelling.

Seemingly seeing Li Yuan's hesitation, Dou Zhang secretly disdained in his heart, but said calmly on his face: "You don't have to worry, this decision is a joint decision of the Dugu family, the Wei family, and the Dou family."

This surprised Li Yuan and Li Jishi slightly.

"In addition, we will support all the money and food." Dou Zhang added.

Li Yuan is not a fool either, he immediately understood what Dou Zhang meant, that he wanted to push Li Yuan to the top and overthrow the Jin family.

"May I think again?"

Li Yuan said cautiously.

Dou Zhang nodded, and then reminded: "I don't have much time, only a day's work. In addition, the Wei family supports the Yu family in Taiyuan County. It doesn't matter if you don't want to, but my brother hopes you can agree."

Li Yuan nodded, indicating that he would seriously consider it.

Bringing Li Jishi back to the study, Li Yuan's expression changed from cautious to gloomy.

"Where's Erlang?"

"Returning to father, it should be that Wuji and Wuji went hunting outside the city."

"Call him back!"

"Yes."

Outside Bing County, in a forest.

Li Anmin led the horse and walked in the forest, beside his good friend's eldest grandson Wuji.

"Wuji, that guy is booming now, don't you follow him?"

Li Anmin looked at his eldest grandson Wuji with a smile on his face.

"He is him, I am me, two different things." Changsun Wuji replied.

"How can it be the same? You have a very close relationship with him. If Guanyin's servant is willing to talk about it, it shouldn't be a big problem to be an official and half a noble."

The eldest grandson Wuji sighed helplessly, it has been several years, but Li Anmin still hasn't forgotten the Guanyin maidservant.

"Erlang, you are married now, so don't mention the past."

Speaking of this, Li Anmin stopped in his tracks, and said coldly: "You know how I feel about Guanyin's servant girl. We grew up together, childhood sweetheart, how can you tell me to forget her."

Yes, what a good marriage.

The eldest grandson Wuji was silent, and then said: "You forget about Guanyin's maidservant, she is doing well now, some time ago, my father sent a letter saying that she gave birth to two children, and was named the Princess of the County by His Majesty."

Li Anmin paused, he could never forget that woman's voice and smile in his mind, even though he had already married, he still remembered that person.

"Is she really doing well?"

He couldn't figure out what he was thinking, maybe there was still a trace of unwillingness in his heart?

"very good."

Changsun Wuji answered in the affirmative.

Although he has no feelings for Jiang Chengxiao, he has to admit that his sister is indeed doing well now.

When the atmosphere was gloomy, people sent by Li Jishi found them.

"Second Young Master, Mr. Li has something urgent, so I want you to return home immediately."

Dou Zhang is not worried that Li Yuan will not agree, because Li Yuan has no choice.

The nobles in Guanzhong didn't have to have Li Yuan. Part of the reason why they chose Li Yuan was because of his relationship with the Dou family.

Another part of the reason is that the Li family is weak.

So, it didn't take long for Dou Zhang to get a satisfactory answer and leave Bing County.

"From today onwards, you all have to put on your best efforts. Whether my Li family can ascend to heaven this time, or just fall into hell, all depends on you!"

In the study room, Li Yuan scanned the outstanding children of the Li clan.

The leader is naturally his two sons.

Li Anmin's eyes flickered with an unknown color, while Li Jishi was much calmer, with a very peaceful expression.

All the Li's children behind them had their hearts beating faster and were extremely excited.

"Father, we still need to discuss this matter with County Magistrate Liu. We are gathering strength here, and we cannot hide from him," Li Jishi said.

Li Yuan nodded, "My son is right, it's not too late for this matter, you go and invite your Uncle Liu over here now."

"and many more!"

Li Anmin interrupted and said: "Brother, be careful of that Li Yaoshi, he is not easy to deal with."

"Second brother, don't worry, brother Wei knows."

And the county government.

Liu Wenli invited Li Jishi into the inner room.

"Sure enough, Uncle Shi's words were right, and the Guanzhong family couldn't bear it anymore." Li Jishi put down the teacup and said.

Liu Wenli was in his forties, dressed in official robes, and his figure was slightly thin.He is also a member of the nobles in Guanzhong, but he is the kind that can't be ranked very well.

"It's not surprising. Today, the nobles in Guanzhong want to get rid of them quickly. In the past two years, because of the canal construction and the conquest of Goguryeo, the suppression action has been suspended, but the present has not forgotten this matter."

"Most of the soldiers who conquered Goguryeo were our soldiers from Guanzhong, but they were sent to die. Hehe, no one would just sit and wait for death."

Li Jishi nodded and said, "Then Uncle Shi thinks, when should we start a fight?"

"Don't worry about this!"

Liu Wenli persuaded: "Although the world is now in chaos, it is the emperor who takes the initiative. At this time, whoever jumps out first will be ruthlessly suppressed by the emperor. You must not be the first to come forward."

"What Uncle Shi means, let the violent bandits in Shandong and Hebei create opportunities for us?"

"Not really."

Liu Wenli shook his head, and said meaningfully: "The violent bandits are nothing but rootless duckweed, and the imperial court can settle them down by choosing a general, so there is nothing to worry about."

"According to my guess, they should still have a backup. Generally speaking, the foundation of the imperial court has not been shaken, so we can't worry."

Li Jishi nodded, stood up and solemnly bowed his hands, "My father is willing to discuss important matters with Uncle Shi, and ask Uncle Shi to help us!"

Liu Wenli chuckled, and helped Li Jishi up, "Don't worry, your father and I are best friends. There is no need to say more about this matter, I agree."

"Thank you, Uncle Shi!"

Just when Li Jishi was looking for Liu Wenli, Li Anmin also took Li Yuan's handwriting to Xiangwu County, Longxi County, and found the prefect Pei Ji.

As Li Yuan's good friends, Pei Ji and Liu Wenli have the same status in Li Yuan's mind.

However, Pei Ji's status is still a little special.

Li Yuan respected Liu Wenli's talent, so he got close to him.

Well, Pei Ji, that is a real good friend.

Back then, the two of them studied in Longxi, conquered Nanchen together, and stayed overnight in Hualou together.

The so-called three irons in life, they both gathered together.

When Pei Ji received Li Yuan's handwriting, he agreed without saying a word.
