Turbulent Times Chapter 1086: Meeting with Li Yuan
After Yang Guang inspected the army, Wang Junlin didn't want to stay in Huaiyuan Town for a moment, because he almost knew the ending of the millions of troops here. It is doomed, and now the only one who can change the overall situation may be him.
But before leaving, he wants to meet someone, that is Tang Guogong Li Yuan.
Because of Li Xuanba's relationship, Wang Junlin and Li Yuan have been in good correspondence with each other for more than a year. In Huaiyuan Town, if we don't meet each other, we can't justify it.
Wang Junlin knew even more that Li Yuan's life was not going well for more than a year, which can be described as twists and turns.
Originally Li Yuangui was Tang Guogong and one of the most prominent branches of the Li family in Longxi. The prefect of Yishang County, and Yang Guang's aunt's cousin, and Li Yuan is also very good at being a man and capable, so he is quite trusted by Yang Guang, and the relationship between them is also very close.
But just half a year ago, a rumor suddenly spread from somewhere, to be precise, it was a nursery rhyme: the law exists, the morality exists, the white flag emperor comes out of the East China Sea, peaches and plums, Mo Lang. Yu, Huang Que around Shanfei, Wanzhuan Garden, Peach Garden, Wanzhuan belongs to the family banner. Peaches and plums, magpies circle Yangshan, and turn around in the flower forest. Mo Lang said, who said yes. To plant plums, Hong Tai went around Yangshan. Poplar trees in the south of the Yangtze River, and Li Zhurong in the north of the Jiangnan. Yang Yan flew to He Shiyang, and Li Cha turned out naturally.
Who is Yang Guang, he is very suspicious, and someone secretly fueled the flames, so for more than a year, Yang Guang tried his best to attack Li.
Officials of the Li clan in Longxi were dismissed one after another, and the forces in the army were almost wiped out. As one of the most important branches of the Li clan in Longxi, Li Yuan, the prefect of a county, was not spared, and was directly captured by Yang Guang. He was demoted to a sixth-rank petty official.
Fortunately, Li Yuan is very good at being an official and a person. He has a lot of contacts in the court and spent a lot of money to clear up the relationship. He went to Luoyang to find Yang Guang and cried once again. Yang Guang gradually recovered his love for him. Trust, it took a few months, and gradually restored to official status.
Li Yuan seized the opportunity of conquering Goguryeo again, and managed to find someone who was in charge of dispatching the army's food and grass. Yang Guang was very satisfied with the orderliness, and today the reviewing army specially named his name and brought it with him.
As soon as this nursery rhyme appeared, Wang Junlin ordered it to go down, and the intelligence organization of the Blue Yiwei Mansion and the Wulin Guild secretly investigated. In the end, they all pointed the finger at Hongnong Yang, and it was logically logical for Wang Junlin make sense.
Hongnong Yang's Yang Su and Yang Xuangan's father and son have been planning a rebellion for many years. Wang Junlin knew about this, and Yang Guang was always on guard against Hongnong Yang's.
Wang Junlin knew that this nursery rhyme was thought up by Yang Su, who was feigning death, and wanted to divert Yang Guang's attention. However, the Hongnong Yang family and the Longxi Li family had a deep hatred, so they just used this nursery rhyme to severely hurt Longxi Li. However, Tang Guogong Li Yuan was affected by disasters. Unfortunately, in the original history, this nursery rhyme finally became a fact. The world of the Sui Dynasty was actually acquired by Li Yuan and his son, thus allowing this nursery rhyme to be passed down through the ages.
Before Wang Junlin took the initiative to visit, a guard came in to report that Tang Guogong Li Yuan asked to see him.
Wang Junlin hurried out and welcomed Li Yuan in personally. After the two exchanged polite greetings, Li Yuan thanked Wang Junlin for taking care of Li Xuanba. Wang Junlin said a few words modestly, and the two fell silent.
After a moment of silence, the eyes of the two met again, and they both sighed at the same time.
When Wang Junlin saw Li Yuan's appearance, he thought to himself that this Tang Gaozu in history was indeed a sensible person, and he probably understood the current situation of the Sui Dynasty just as well as he, a later generation who was open about it.
In Li Yuan's heart, Wang Junlin is the most powerful person in the world, a real hero, and his mind is naturally high. Seeing Wang Junlin's expression at this time, he immediately understands the power of the world. There is also a number in his heart, so Li Yuan shook his head and smiled wryly, as if he had a thousand words and didn't know where to start.
After pondering for a while, Li Yuan asked in a low voice: "Mr. Qin An, do you know that since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the government of all dynasties has been controlled by some aristocratic families. It is always extremely difficult for people without roots and credentials to get ahead. of?"
Wang Junlin didn't expect Li Yuan to start with this sentence, he just nodded and didn't answer.
Li Yuan sighed, and continued: "The so-called wealthy family refers to those whose families have been top officials, and their disciples are from the Manchu dynasty. There are five surnames in Shandong, Wang, Cui, Lu, Li, and Zheng, and in Guanzhong, Wei , Pei, Liu, Xue, Yang, and Du six surnames. Including the current Yuwen family, the remaining Xie family, Wang family, and Chen family in the south of the Yangtze River, there are a total of twenty or so. The world is proud to associate with them, and These families often colluded with each other and gave power to the government and the opposition. The emperors of all dynasties knew that the power of the family was not a blessing for the country, but the emperors of the past dynasties could not solve it. Today, His Majesty seems to be strong and arbitrary, but in fact, the Sui family is still in power!"
Based on Li Yuan's prudent behavior, he has spoken to such an extent, and even said outrageous words, that he is obviously ready for a heart-to-heart talk with Wang Junlin, and Wang Junlin even vaguely guessed the purpose of Li Yuan's visit today .
"And those who are elected to be officials are either the sons of this family or the nephews of that family. These guys are not good at governing the country, but when they harm the people, they are equal to two. But the emperor still has nothing to do with them , because it often affects the whole body." Li Yuan shook his head, expressing his dissatisfaction with the current situation, but in fact he is also a member of the aristocratic family.
"The Great Sui Dynasty is about to be emptied by these guys, but the emperor doesn't know it yet. His Majesty the emperor likes to hear praise from others, and likes to show off his unrivaled martial arts. Just like this time when he attacked Liao, the civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty Under the leadership of His Majesty, it has been planned for more than two years,
But in fact, no one opened their eyes to pay attention to the terrain of Liaodong, and no one thought about what consequences would be brought to Sui in case of defeat. "
Wang Junlin looked calm, but still just nodded. He knew that Li Yuan was testing himself by saying these words, so he signaled Li Yuan to continue.
Seeing that Wang Junlin's expression did not change at all, Li Yuan immediately understood in his heart that he had guessed correctly, and that the situation and internal problems of the Sui Dynasty in the other party's mind were like a mirror, perhaps deeper than what he knew.
Now that the words have come to this point, Li Yuan naturally wanted to finish his words, so he continued: "The wealthy family puts all their minds on how to benefit the family, and has no eyes on the court and His Majesty, let alone the people and the country. They don’t pay attention to morality”
Speaking of this, Li Yuan shook his head with a helpless expression on his face.
