Chapter 67 Sincerity(1/2)
As the saying goes, where there are people, there will be a martial arts world. If there are martial arts world, there will be a struggle that will not stop!
The Tang Dynasty has already begun to take shape. The struggle will never stop because of the sanction of the war. Instead, it will become more intense and cruel...
To apply an old saying in the past life: Be politically wise.
What is a political mind?
In short, you must be prepared to continue fighting. The so-called far-sightedness is just a plain adjective.
Isn’t there a great man in later generations who said: Fighting with the sky is endless, fighting with the earth is endless, fighting with people is endless, and fighting with people is endless!
Li Shentong is not a fool, how could he not understand the mystery?
However, he also knew very well that he did not have any advantage in the future battle. Unlike other Li clans, they either followed Li Yuan from the beginning and fought side by side. For example, Li Xiaoji; or he dominated the side, held great power, and made outstanding achievements. For example, Li Shuliang, Li Baiju, Li Deliang... Li Shentong did not participate in the plan to raise an army in Taiyuan at the beginning. After the rebellion in Taiyuan, he was forced to flee to Nanshan, and did not contribute any part of Li Yuan's entry into Guanzhong. The reason why Li Yuan valued it is because of his identity as a Li clan. Maybe it is better now, but in the future...
Li Shentong had to plan for the future.
He and Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin have a good relationship and can be used as a guarantee.
But if there is more protection, who can refuse? From the current perspective, among the Li clan, Li Xiaoji and his son are probably the strongest.
As Zong Zhengqing, Li Xiaoji was granted the title of King Yong and appointed as the chief supervisor of Shaanxi Province. He can be described as a real power faction.
And his son, the mysterious figure who had never appeared in the Li family genealogy, and even many people didn't know about it, was sitting in front of him.
After coming to Xingyang, Li Shentong understood Li Yanqing's strength.
Xue Shou, a member of the Xue clan in Hedong, was the son of Xue Daoheng, and was adopted by Xue Ru.
Du Ruhui, a member of the Du family of Jingzhao, is a grandson of the Du Fazhen clan of the Buddhist clan. He was a Jinshi during the Daye period and is now in charge.
Yao Yi, a member of the Yao clan of Jiushi...
Changsun Wuji, Li Yanqing's wife and brother-in-law, the founding general of the Sui Dynasty, is called the son of Changsun Sheng who can be compared with the flying generals in Longcheng. In the future, he may be the head of Pilitang, and there are also many people who are expected to be among the surrendered generals of the Tang Dynasty. Now he is stationed in Niuzhukou, controls Ying, and manages important places, and has very clever methods.
All four of them have a bright future.
Including Xu Shiji, Li Yanqing's wife and brother Pei Xingyan, and Li Yanqing's general Su Dingfang, were afraid of having the ability to supervise the town.
This does not include Li Yanqing's wife, the Princess of Liaoman Yuwenduo, whose influence in the Minshu area.
There are countless plotters and many powerful generals... Not to mention anything else, just for Yan Qing's four major guards, it is enough to make Li Shentong salivate!
This is the strength of Li Yanqing, who has already been on the table.
What about the darkness?
How many others did Li Yanqing secretly not reveal it? Even if Li Yanqing no longer takes power in the future, with the ability of his father and son, the loyalty of his planners and friends, and his methods and talents... Li Shentong couldn't even think of anyone in Chang'an who dared not be afraid of Yan Qing.
This guy’s capital is so strong!
He is so strong that Li Yuan will be helpless. Of course, Li Yuan's love for Yan Qing will be a big amulet of Li Yanqing. If he doesn't join forces with such a person or become friends with such a person, what kind of allies can Li Shentong find?
Li Yanqing was a little confused at first.
But I quickly figured out Li Shentong's thoughts.
In fact, why don’t he want to gain allies in the royal family? Li Daoxuan is one of them, so Li Shentong will add more bargaining chips to him.
So he laughed, "Uncle, please be polite. If Brother Daoyan is willing to stay in Gong County, I am just asking for it."
Li Shentong let out a slight breath of turbid air, and a big stone in his heart finally returned to his stomach.
The misunderstanding has been resolved, so naturally it is to make peace. But Li Shentong was happy, but Zheng Hongyi, who was standing beside him, was at a loss and didn't know what to do.
The pressure Li Yanqing put on the Zheng family still exists!
"Brother Yan Qing..."
After Li Shentong and his son left, Zheng Hongyi walked up with a little embarrassed look.
Li Yanqing snorted and ignored him.
Li Daoxuan couldn't stand watching and whispered: "Sixth Brother, Mr. Zheng is calling you."
According to the order in the Li family genealogy, among Li Yanqing's generation, Yan Qing Xingxing Xing Sixth and Li Shimin Xing Seventh. It was just because Li Shimin's current identity was different, so everyone called his second brother. In fact, Li Yanqing's age was several months older than Li Shimin's.
"Shut up!"
Li Yanqing looked up, his eyes cold.
Li Daoxuan wanted to say a few words for Zheng Hongyi, but after Yan Qing glared at him like this, he immediately shut up.
My God, the sixth brother is so angry that he is afraid that even the second brother will not be able to compare with...
Yan Qing took a deep breath, and after a long time, he sighed, "Hongyi, I know you have no choice. You can't blame you for this matter. In terms of identity, my uncle is higher than you; in terms of seniority, Mr. Zheng is also better than you. But I am very angry. Even if you have no choice, you should know me. Even if you have no choice, I will not blame you... But you silently follow me! If I hadn't been prepared, wouldn't you want to take the power this time? The most hateful, you actually went to help others to plot against me?"
"I don't……"
"Stop your mouth!"
Zheng Hongyi stood aside with grievance, but did not dare to speak anymore.
Growing up with Yan Qing since childhood, he followed Yan Qing to fight in Goguryeo. He did not stand on Yan Qing's side when Zheng Xing was involved, and Yan Qing did not blame him. Later, he was awarded the imperial court, but his greatest hero stayed in seclusion for three years and gained nothing.
Zheng Hongyi knows a lot about Yan Qing's power.
It was a kind of awe from the heart... and this time, he did make a mistake first.
"Before my grandfather passed away, I must take good care of the Zheng family.
I have been doing this over the years. Hongyi, you patted your chest and said, "In the past few years, I have been using your Zheng family, are there any gaps in the gaps?"
Zheng Hongyi, don’t know how to speak.
"Forget it, I can't blame you for this incident.
I went back and told Mr. Zheng that the taxi could not be implemented, but the renting of mediocres must be implemented... This is beneficial to your Zheng family."
"ah?"
Zheng Hongyi raised his head and looked at Li Yanqing in surprise.
Yan Qing did not explain to him again. Could it be that he told Zheng Hongyi that in a few years, the whole country will implement the method of renting and mediocrity. Your Zheng family is at the forefront, which is actually setting an example for the people of the world. If you set a good example, the emperor will never treat you badly.
The rent and medicinal regulation was implemented in the early Tang Dynasty and was replaced by the two tax laws during the reign of Emperor Dezong...
Do you have to make acres of dime?
Li Yanqing thought about it and still decided!
This may be enforced as a future tax law.
A hundred years later, two hundred years later, when the time is ripe, people will naturally think of this law. But now... Li Yanqing has not yet become arrogant and dares to oppose all the ancestors in the world. If he dares to implement it, Du Ruhui and the others will definitely turn it over.
Zheng Hongyi didn't know what the rent and mediocre adjustment was, but after Yan Qing said this, he knew that Yan Qing forgave him.
"Brother Yangzhen..."
"Who allows you to call me?"
Li Yanqing's face changed, and Zheng Hongyi was so scared that he closed his mouth again.
"Sixth Brother, don't scare Hongyi anymore. Hongyi regrets it so much these days."
"He deserves this...Who told him not to be young and Yi, and he actually joined forces with others to plot against me?"
"Brother Yan Qing, I didn't plot against you. Besides, from beginning to end, it seems that you are plotting against me."
Li Yanqing stood up and hugged Zheng Hongyi's neck, "I said you plotted against me, you just plotted against me... Also, you dared to trip me up when I got married. If I hadn't had real talent and knowledge in my stomach, I would have been afraid that even the marriage would be ruined by you.
Damn, I wanted to give you a few drinks, but you guy ran away first without being loyal."
Zheng Hongyi was so angry that he was so snatched that he was so happy inside.
This feeling is like when I was in Goguryeo back then... After returning from Goguryeo, Brother Yan Qing never played with me like this again.
"Brother Yan Qing, you ordered me to do this!
For this matter, I have been dealt with by the second wife several times. Why are you blaming me now? This is unfair."
"Don't be fair, I'm helping Lao Xu vent my anger.
You called his brother-in-law so much... That guy remembers it, looking for an opportunity to deal with you."
Zheng Hongyi immediately laughed when he heard this.
He was several years younger than Xu Shiji, and when he was a child, he called Xu Shiji's brother. However, after Xu Shiji married Zheng Hongyi's sister, he was often called his brother-in-law by Zheng Hongyi. This nature is like Li Yanqing called Pei Xingyan as his younger brother, which belongs to the same kind.
After a while of fighting, Li Yanqing let go of Zheng Hongyi.
The three of them sat down on the porch, Yan Qing made tea, and started chatting without a word.
Li Daoxuan followed Ma Sanbao to Yingchuan, but found an amazing guy for Yan Qing. The man's name was Zhu Can and his name was Kedahan Thief.
Originally from the Jianghuai family, he participated in the Battle of Goguryeo.
Coincidentally, Zhu Can was also a navy army.
When Pyongyang was defeated, Zhu Can still see a fire from Li Yanqing in the Nanshui camp, which saved his life. Later, he returned to the Central Plains with the army, and he returned home after he was sick. When bandits in Jianghuai were rampant, Zhu Can gathered a group to rebel because his family was ruined, and he was still quite powerful.
only……
After Fang Xuanling arrived in Danyang County, he defeated Zhu Can in one fell swoop.
