Chapter 160 Three Generals of Pingzhou

Jinhua was scared by her severity, squeezed her lips and reluctantly replied, "I just heard what my mother and father said."

In Shaohua's repeatedly urging, Jinhua heard about the resurrection of the Wang family. The emperor's order was on the eve, and the eldest prince was afraid of forcing the emperor to abdicate at the ten-year festival of Empress Duanming. The prince proposed marriage to the Li family in fact to consolidate power for the eldest prince, so once the Li family married the royal palace, it largely pulled that wandering force to the grand prince party.

Although the Li family will not spend so much to become Hongwen's party member because of a granddaughter, it does not mean that others will not go to Hongwen for this point.

At the beginning, some people said that the Li family was a wall grass, and the wind blew on both sides. Li Ge's spine and cursed. As a result, it was reused by the emperor, and the person who scolded the Li family was demoted to the southwest, making the Li family prominent in the court. In addition, the Li family now has two rising stars, Li Sijin and Li Sinian. No matter who takes office, they are the important ministers of the future. If they are brought down now, they will only push the Li family to the other party's camp. They can't be won, and they can only take advantage of the situation.

The battle between crown princes began three years ago, or even earlier, starting from the year of the death of Queen Duanming. But the emperor is as strong as a tiger, and he is not addicted to wine and sex. He governs the country and is deeply loved by the people. If the emperor is old and weak before abdicating, I'm afraid even the emperor's grandson will be young and handsome. Perhaps the young prince is not yet ambitious, but the masters of the harem have to make a future for their son early.

The death of Empress Duanming gave the imperial concubine and Hongyi a great opportunity, but some people did not want the imperial concubine party to take office. Maybe it's the opponent, maybe maybe it's just that they don't want to repeat the loyal ministers of Wang Guo's uncle, so they voluntarily formed the Grand Prince' Party to restrain the increasingly powerful imperial concubine Party.

The emperor was not unaware of the actions of his ministers, but he was in the prime of spring and autumn, holding the military power in his hand, and did not worry that his sons would fight back at all. In his eyes, the two factions are balanced and mutually restricted, so that the imperial power can be more stable. It was not until last year that an emergency almost took his life that the emperor became cautious and held more firmly in power.

Doro's frequent** has separated a lot of his mind. He had known that the poison came from Doro, but he did not know that the poison had lurked in his body for a long time. If you calm down, you won't have a seizure for ten or eight years or even longer, but the more emotional it is, the more brain-consuming it is, the more rampant it will be. The second prince of Dora's visit and worship repeatedly said that the rebellion in the north of Sichuan was done by the eldest prince alone, not the intention of King Dora. Moreover, the eldest prince and the king of Doro were chased and arrested, and then escorted him to Beijing to apologize in person.

But the emperor knew in his heart that if it hadn't been for the acquiescence of King Doro, this army would not have attacked the north of Sichuan so easily. His fake smile was only because he had not made a decision. After all, he still had to fight or endure it. If his body does not find poison, he will definitely fight endlessly, but now that he can't, any of his extreme actions will kill him at any time.

The emperor was a little chilled. He didn't know who poisoned him, but he must be the person he trusted.

Once he dies, who will fall to the throne? I don't know if this country can stand up to the ancestors on Huangquan Road. The emperor looked at Hongwen, who had the same appearance as Empress Duanming, and Hongyi, who was as aggressive as himself, the more gratified he became, the colder he became.

Now, on the ten-year memorial day of Empress Duanming, the emperor's order is on the eve. If Hongwen does not seize this opportunity, he is afraid that once the emperor returns to heaven, the Wang family will be suppressed by the imperial concubine party again. Some people are rumored that the emperor is drawing up the imperial edict of the throne, and now he is holding it in the hands of a confidant minister, for fear that one day he will suddenly kill him, and no one will succeed to the throne, and the world will be in chaos.

Many people speculated that it was Li Ge who held the imperial edict, but they did not dare to ask in front of the emperor. The marriage proposal of the royal palace made some people confirm this guess. Unfortunately, Li Ge refused coldly. Now there are continuous outsiders coming to Beijing. I'm afraid that rumors Hongwen is going to force the palace, but I'm afraid it's not a groundless rumor. Therefore, after discussing with his son and grandson, Li Geluo decided to let Li Xunzhuo leave the capital with his family to avoid the limelight for a while.

Because Li Xunzhuo is not a person in the officialdom and has been walking around all year round, he will not be said to leave with his family. Then make an excuse that Luyang's old family is seriously ill. At that time, even if the city guard asks, it will not be too difficult.

After Shaohua heard the twists and turns, the Li family's motorcade has slowly driven out of the gate. Li Xunzhuo raised the curtain, looked back at the gate, and sighed.

"Sir, can we go back when we come out this time?" Ling is a little worried.

Li Xunzhuo stared at her angrily, "Let's just go to visit his uncle and come back when he is healthy." When he said this, Li Xunzhuo was a little un confidence.

Ling blinked and looked at her husband, and muttered in her heart: Who is so active? In the cold and snowy twelfth lunar month, the whole family has to rush back to their hometown to visit patients. It feels unlucky to think about it. Ling was a little embarrassed about Li Ge's arrangement. On the one hand, she regretted that she could not get married with the royal palace, otherwise she would have to go sideways when she walked out of the door. On the other hand, she was glad that her husband was not an official. That day, I heard him seriously warn her that the weather may change. It seems that there is a list in every family. If someone refuses to cooperate, they will be threatened or even detained, and that list is the memorial of Bao Hongwen's succession to the throne.

Some people's wives and daughters in the city have been arrested inexplicably. It is said that because she refused to obey, the woman was stripted and sent back. This incident caused a lot of turmoil, but because the other party strongly denied it, no one dared to spread it, but people were already panicked. It is obviously shameless to threaten people with a family's wife. Whether it is true or false, it is angry enough to slander a woman's reputation.

However, the rumored official was only a small official, and some people broke out that it was just the work of ordinary kidnappers and had nothing to do with Hongwen. It's just that it doesn't matter, which also shows that the Grand Prince Party has indeed taken action.

"I hope my father and eldest brother are safe and sound." Li Xunzhuo felt heavy in his heart and felt that he had left them at this time, as if he had escaped from the battle.

"Master, don't worry. Even if there is a real change, with the status of father and eldest brother in the court, they will not be embarrassed. I think Dad is more worried about the size of the car and his uncle's body. Without his family behind him, Li Ge Lao is naturally not afraid of being threatened, and Li Xunzhuo and others must have something to do as long as they arrive in Luyang and have the protection of their ancestral house.

The situation in the DPRK has long been a fierce ice and snow fire, and the situation is irrecontible. Just because Li Ge is old, the Li Sijin brothers are not the top leaders, so the affected will not be so great.

Li Xunzhuo thought for a moment and nodded. He is now the backbone of this team. He has an elder sister-in-law and an unbirth nephew. He really can't be careless.

So, after telling Ling to say a few words, he lifted the curtain out and prepared to arrange for the convoy to speed up, at least leaving Gyeonggi first.

However, at the moment he got out of the carriage, he heard Cui Hanlin running back in panic and shouted all the way: "No! The master has a horse thief!" Just as he spoke, he seemed to be blown across the air and stabbed his thigh. He screamed and immediately fell to the ground. The pure white snow suddenly dyed red.

Cui Hanlin's scream changed Li Xunzhuo's face. Although the accompanying servants trembled with fear, they surrounded the carriages around them to protect the people in the car. Li Xunzhuo didn't expect that he would meet horse thieves as soon as he left the city. It was possible that he would wait here in advance, which reminded him of previous rumors. Before he had time to shout to protect his wife, he only heard a burst of horseshoes, and seven or eight figures rode horses and roared in the snow.

Ling had trembled with fear in the carriage. If she had known that she would rather be surrounded at home than be killed by horse thieves in the ice and snow outside the city. Liu and Pang, who did not know, felt guilty when they heard the screams, horses' hoofs and shouts outside. They hugged each other and the people in the car and hid in the carriage and dared not come out.

I don't know how long it took. When Ling calmed down, he found that he didn't hear the screams outside or the sound of fighting and robbery. She only felt quiet outside. She was stunned and wanted to lift the curtain, but in the middle of it, Li Xunzhuo's voice outside the car called her: "Don't come out, outside... It's okay outside, we have to be saved."

Li Xunzhuo looked at several bodies lying on the ground, and the blood stained the snow under them. He had two cold wars. Looking at the people who came slowly on horseback not far away, he stepped forward and thanked him: "Thank you for your help. Li is very grateful and dares to ask your name."

A young man dressed in military uniform rode on a horse with his back to the sun, and his facial features were covered in the shadows. He raised his mouth and his voice seemed soft. Who are you, Mr. Li?"

Although Li Xunzhuo was a little unhappy with the man's question, he still replied, "Do you know your father?" Looking at the age, he is at most three or four years older than Li Sijin, but his tone is very arrogant. If it hadn't been for his sharp action, killing four horse thieves and scaring away others, he wouldn't have talked to him with such a good temper.

"I don't know him, but my father knows him. My father is Xu Shaoqing from Pingzhou. Maybe Li Ge will know him." The young man looked at Li Xunzhuo's face and was slightly surprised to know that he knew his father. Then he said proudly, "Mr. Li Ge is really eye-catching. It seems that Beijing is too noisy to get rid of his family so early."

Li Xunzhuo doesn't know the name Xu Shaoqing, but he has heard that Xuzhou San will come. Presumably Xu Shaoqing must be the Xu family among the 22nd commanders of the founding of the country.

"You have gone far and met me, otherwise it will be cold, and I guess everyone will put their minds in Beijing. No one will pay attention to you at all. Let's go. If you don't leave, if there are random thieves running out of the capital, it will be more lifeless than mountain bandits. The man deliberately threatened Li Xunzhuo, saw his face shocked and laughed proudly. I lied to you, with me, Xu Ziang, the thief can't escape!"

"Thank you, Mr. Xu, for your rescue. After I return to Beijing..." Li Xunzhuo finally knew the young man's name.

Xu Ziang half narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, "I advise you not to go back to Beijing. Since you can escape, you can find a place to hide at ease. Don't let Mr. Li Ge take pains to waste it."

"But many of my slaves were injured, so I'm afraid they can't walk far." Li Xunzhuo just made a slight inventory. Fortunately, there was no damage, but many people were injured, and the worst was Cui Hanlin's thigh. If you don't go back to Beijing for treatment, I'm afraid that these people will die of illness in the middle of the way.

"Then find somewhere else. Anyway, I advise you not to go back." Xu Ziang said righteously. Hurry up and decide, I'll ask someone to escort you."

Seeing that his face was serious, Li Xunzhuo also knew that he did not mean to intimidate him, and heard him offer to offer to escort, and his heart changed his mind. After thinking about it, I immediately thought of my father-in-law's house, which was probably only half a day away.

Waiting for him to open his mouth, someone came to report: "My lord, their carriage is gone!"
