The rise of Li Po in the Jin Dynasty severely damaged the remaining vitality of Henan.
This is not a joke, Li Po blocked Li Yuan in Guanxi, making it impossible for Li Yuan to send troops to quickly defeat Wang Shichong. Wang Shichong's men then marched west without hesitation and died in Tongguan.
Henan then entered a dying state.
While Li Po and Li Yuan were fighting, no one cared about the lives of the Henan people. After two winters, the Henan people could no longer survive and fled one after another.
At that time, all the princes in the world were considered to have vested interests, but no one regarded Henan as fat meat. When Wang Shiyun led his people back to Tang Dynasty, he also took away the last flame of Henan with him.
Today's Henan is miserable. The New Luoyang built by Yang Guang is still magnificent, but compared with Chang'an, it is not even a younger brother.
No matter how magnificent the city is, the most important thing is the people...
……………………
Li Xiuning remembered everything Li Po said.
After thinking for a while, he leaned closer to Li Po and said: "Since the eldest brother said so, I can't help but appreciate it... There are a lot of idle people in the clan, I think I should let them live in Luoyang? If you don't trust them, no
You can also give them official positions."
Li Po pondered for a moment, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, family... This is the closest bond between the nobles in the world. Li Yuan's branch seems to have no leader, but there are still people who are thinking about them all the time.
Even if Li Xiuning doesn't find a way out for them, in two years' time, those who are involved with them will speak for them, just like Xiao and others.
Nodding and smiling, he said: "It's okay if they can just be a rich man with peace of mind. If you think about them so much, they may not be grateful in the end. If something goes wrong, you will have to shoulder the responsibility. Why bother?"
?”
Li Xiuning served a cup of tea, handed it to Li Po's hand, and said with a smile: "There are many children in the clan, but they gather in Chang'an but have nothing to do. It is inevitable to blame everyone. More and more people are asking for my body, and my body is not broken."
People who are extremely sentimental should naturally think about them.
Brother, please don’t blame me for not knowing what’s good or bad. It’s always hard to let go of family ties, so why should I be the only one? Just think that I am weak and can’t bear to see my relatives going around begging me.”
Li Po took a sip of tea and thought to himself, it's okay to just listen to this. The woman in front of him was not an ordinary person, so naturally she wasn't pursuing something out of sight.
After Li Yuan and his son died, Li Sanniang probably had the intention of standing up for the family and established a family as a woman... It's quite inspiring to think about it.
And for more than three years, because he has been suppressing the Li family in Longxi, all the official titles, land and land have been taken back. The side branches of the Li family in Longxi are not so bad. The branch of Li Yuan... is the descendants of Li Hu from the Shangzhu Kingdom of the Western Wei Dynasty.
You have to swallow a bitter pill.
Without an official position and with no security in life, you can imagine what kind of situation you are in now. Cutting your flesh with a soft knife hurts very much.
It didn't take long for the side branches to no longer recognize them as the main branch of the Li family in Longxi. In another two years, they would be no different from the ordinary families in Chang'an.
And this also gave Li Xiuning the opportunity to show kindness to his relatives, and he could manipulate it when he had time. If this continued, it would not be impossible to push down the inactive Li Yuan, or hold him in mid-air.
Li Po thought about his two daughters, who would take over their mother's duties in the future and proudly say "I am the head of the Li family" to others, and he couldn't help but feel happy.
Of course, what is even more interesting is the scene when they grow up and compete for power with the children of the Li Shimin brothers. Maybe they will borrow some power from the Li Yuan brothers and sisters. Well, we can look forward to it.
Thinking of this, I was in a good mood, but I felt embarrassed and sighed: "Luoyang is a place with great potential. You should be more careful. It is best not to send those who are ambitious.
The war will be over, and I am confident that I can be a good emperor and let the people live and work in peace and contentment. If the younger generation of the Li family wants to be a people under the rule, I can still tolerate it."
Li Xiuning smiled like a flower and said that she had given birth to a pair of daughters for him, which made it easier to talk. She couldn't help but think of the incident when Li Yuan came to ask for her a few days ago. She declined at that time. Can she talk about it now? Li Xiuning is a little bit
Can't make up my mind.
After thinking about it for a while, she wisely gave up this good opportunity to make further progress.
Li Xiaogong has been recuperating in Xicheng County. Some time ago, he sent a letter to his family, asking for permission to return to his hometown in Longxi. It is not a small matter, otherwise Li Yuan would not be able to find Li Xiuning.
But Li Xiaogong has been in Xicheng County for almost two years, and there has been no movement from the court. This can only mean that the beginning and the end are not yet complete. Want to return to his hometown in Longxi? That would require the emperor's personal nod.
Now that he is neither called back to Chang'an nor allowed to leave Xicheng County, the embarrassing situation of that man can be seen clearly.
Li Xiuning has been thinking about Li Po's thoughts and can't figure out what he is thinking. She has a deeper understanding of Li Po's tricky side.
Just like how Li Po hung the head of the Bohai Gao family there for public display...
……………………
Li Xiuning decisively changed the subject, "I understand what the eldest brother said about my concubine. In such a situation, there are no ambitious people in the family. They don't even dare to touch swords and guns. There are more people studying articles...
Brother, just don't worry.
I heard that my eldest brother sent people out of the capital to find some flowers and plants, and I was quite puzzled. My eldest brother has always had the intention to govern the world and bring peace to the people, and I have always admired him. Now that everything is in ruins, how can I care about other things?"
It was a bit of a remonstrance. Li Po gave her a fresh look, but he was not impatient. He just said, "You are quite well informed."
Li Xiuning laughed and said, "Brother, I forgot that Li Shaoqing's ancestors were related to my family. Now that I have come to Chang'an, I have to come and talk to him. This is not what I did intentionally."
Li Po waved his hand nonchalantly, "It's just a normal thing. There's no need to explain it. What I asked them to go out to find was not some exotic flowers or herbs.
When I went to Liaodong with the army, I was very cold. Later, I fought with the Turks in Mayi, and I also suffered from the cold winter. Later, I accidentally heard some people say that there are flowers and plants in the south that can be woven into cloth to keep out the cold.
Now that I have the time, I will naturally send someone to search for it. If it can be done, it will be a great blessing."
Li Xiuning asked curiously, "Is there such a thing? The eldest brother didn't tell anyone clearly. My uncle was quite depressed when he came. He probably regarded this trip as a joke for the eldest brother."
Li Po said: "Whether it's a joke or not is next to me. I don't know if that thing is what I'm looking for. What can I tell people? We'll find out when they come back. Then I'll knit two pieces for you to see.
