Li Shentong "lived" not far away. When Yang Gongren saw him, he almost didn't recognize him at first glance.
Li Shentong is old. Not to mention that he cannot compare with what he was like when he was in Chang'an. Even two years ago, when he led his army to fight with Li Po in Jiexiu and Pingyao, his appearance is completely different from what he is now.
He has gray hair messily tied on top of his head, his clothes and shoes are relatively fresh, and he is hunched over and lying on the couch. How can he still have any trace of the majesty of General Zuo Yiwei, a relative of the Li clan?
Yang Gongren sighed secretly, somewhat feeling a sense of pity, but in fact, it was more of a sadness that the rabbit had died and the fox was sad.
You know, when Li Shentong was in Chang'an that day, he was regarded as a chivalrous person among the nobles, and he was considered a moderate figure.
At that time, everyone was young and did not think too much about their interactions. Yang Gongren and Li Shentong had drank wine and visited brothels together. However, time passed by and the world changed dramatically. They were scattered everywhere. When they met again, they were actually
Such a scene...
Yang Gongren raised the corner of his mouth and smiled to himself. At this moment, he felt very emotional. Could it be that he was getting old too?
The Li family does not care about the righteousness between the king and his subjects, brotherly love, and wolfish ambition, so what is the difference between him and other rebels? When Li Yuan led his troops south to Chang'an, his hands were stained with the blood of the Yang family's children, and the Yang family's wife, children, and children were left behind in Chang'an.
, they were all under the knife's edge, and no one showed mercy.
Today is considered retribution, because Li Shou fell into his hands. Humph, Yang Da, Yang Da, you can't be merciful, otherwise the King of Han will come to Chang'an one day, and you won't be able to use the sword and axe.
Revenge for the people?
Thinking of this, my eyes gradually turned serious...
At this time, Li Shentong happened to turn over and saw a person standing outside the cell door. He was startled. He rubbed his eyes and looked over. When he met Yang Gongren's eyes, he couldn't help but shuddered and sat down immediately.
Got up.
Yang Gongren chuckled, cupped his hands and said, "How are you, my dear brother, after so many years of separation?"
Li Shentong rubbed his eyes vigorously again. After seeing the person clearly, he paused for a while. Like Yang Gongren, he probably wandered in that rather distant memory for a while before pulling out the figure of Yang Gongren when he was young.
.
So there was some surprise on his face. In the past two years, it seemed like an eternity had passed. His will was obviously not as strong as Liu Zhenghui's. After falling from the clouds, he was thrown into this corner, almost no one cared about him.
He was manic for a while, and then fell into endless depression. No matter how hard he could extricate himself, he had no choice but to fall so hard that he was blinded.
Of course, since the chaos in the world until now, the nobles have experienced all kinds of strange things, and Li Shentong is just a microcosm of them, so it is not worth making a fuss about.
Just like Yang Gongren standing outside the cell door, he definitely suffered as much as Li Shentong, but he managed to survive it.
Therefore, in this life, regardless of whether you are high or low, old or young, it is easy to be proud for a while, but it is extremely difficult to stay in the upper hand for a lifetime... Well, there are so many slappers in the face, you still want to spend your whole life
Proud? Just dream.
Therefore, people have the saying that extreme happiness leads to sorrow, and people who endure hardships can become superior to others. In fact, they are all talking about the same truth. There is no such thing as a person who can live a smooth life.
Because suffering can make people grow. If you live in "easy" days for a long time, you will definitely stumble at some point. This is in line with the laws of nature.
Some people find another way out of suffering, such as Yang Gongren, and some people collapse in suffering, such as Li Shentong. Both mentally and physically, they have hit rock bottom and are unlikely to stand up.
Two Kansai nobles who had known each other since childhood looked at each other silently through the prison door. They were so close yet seemed so far away.
Some surprise finally appeared on Li Shentong's face. It was really not easy to meet an acquaintance here. But in an instant, his eyes dimmed, and it was obvious that his IQ had regained its high ground.
The Yang family and the Li family are related by marriage. During these more than a hundred years, they have been involved with each other. Many times, they were inseparable from each other, but to this day, the hatred between the two families... is deeper than that of outsiders.
The wailing and pleading of the descendants of the Yang family in Chang'an City did not last long, and even lingered in his ears... As a result, Li Shentong's expression gradually became filled with panic and fear.
Yang Gongren lowered his eyes and knocked lightly on the iron fence. Someone immediately stepped forward and opened the cell door. Yang Gongren stepped in. Li Shentong inside slowly stood up and bowed deeply.
The hoarse voice was like a dying night owl, "It turns out that Brother Yang is here. It seems that my death is approaching. Is Brother Yang here to see me off?"
Kansai people have always been straightforward. Of course, this is compared to the nobles in other places. After hearing this, Yang Gongren's smile became much more real. He said in his heart that although Li Dalang was in decline, he still did not lose the face of the Kansai people.
.
The people of Kansai have been looking forward to Zixiong for many years. Even if they are enemies of each other, they do not want to see the same kind of dogs and hogs looking miserable. As the saying goes, the rabbit dies and the fox is sad, and the thing hurts its own kind.
"My dear brother, today you and I meet as old friends. It's okay not to talk about our past relationships. We can't talk about life and death easily, right?"
Li Shentong naturally didn't want to die. He lowered his eyes at this time to cover up his surprise. He tried hard to maintain the airs of a Kansai noble and pretended to be inviting guests, but the muscles on his face were...
He started twitching involuntarily due to excitement and looked a bit scary, like a mental patient.
Yang Gongren didn't say anything more. He lifted his legs and got on the bed, sitting cross-legged opposite Li Shentong.
In fact, at this time, Yang Gongren was very sure in his heart. At the same time, he also sighed secretly, people, they really can't be compared.
Liu Zhenghui was just a descendant of the Huns, an unknown person who had been locked up in prison for a long time. He took a brief look at it before, but it gave him a feeling of being in prison, like a quiet room. If I read it correctly
In other words, this person has a strong will, no matter how talented or learned he is, this alone is enough to be respected.
In comparison, Li Shentong... is just a mortal, and it's only a matter of time before he begs for mercy.
When everyone gathered together in the past, they were in high spirits and said that the heroes of the world should be respected by the heroes of Kansai. But looking at it today, it is almost like a joke. The people of Kansai are in a state of embarrassment, which is called a real embarrassment.
"My dear brother, you are about to die, don't you know it?"
Yang Gongren clicked his tongue, and finally chose this very clichéd beginning. A surprising statement must have a purpose. This principle is very simple, but in many cases, it can still work repeatedly. Everyone's stupidity and cleverness are reflected in it.
Can reflect one or two.
And in this cell, it's easy to see who is smart and who is stupid.
Yang Gongren's life was quite rough. When he was young, he was not given much importance due to the burden of his family. In his middle age, he experienced the chaos in Jiangdu, and when he was living in Wei County, he almost starved to death.
After these experiences, being able to survive by chance is enough to make an ordinary person undergo earth-shaking changes, let alone an aristocrat.
Therefore, Yang Gongren's bones are very hard, and this toughness is also somewhat elastic. The Kansai Yang family in his fifties has actually transformed into the most difficult person in the world.
As for Li Shentong, there is no need to say much about this person. As I said before, if he had not had a cousin like Li Yuan, his talents and mind would not be comparable to the heroes in the world.
Li Shentong raised his head, his eyes flashing with fear. Before, he spoke in terms of life and death. People told you that it was okay and we were here to reminisce about the past. But in the blink of an eye, he entered the rhythm of falling out, leaving Li Shentong a little confused.
Yang Gongren paused and then said: "The news about the secret communication between the wise brother and Liu Zhenghui and others has been known to the King of Han. There are all the witnesses and physical evidence. The King of Han was very angry and asked me to come and ask. The two families are competing for supremacy. On the battlefield
It’s just a matter of life and death, but now that my wise brother is a defeated general and a prisoner of his subordinates, he is still thinking of taking chances. Do you really think that the people of the Li family in Guanxi can’t be killed?”
…………
With a clang, the cell door closed again. Yang Gongren looked back. He knew that most of the things were done, but he didn't feel the slightest bit proud.
This was done quite viciously. The good reputation that Li Yuan left in Jin Land is not much left today. After this incident, it will definitely disappear...
The two surnames Li and Yang had already turned against each other, so there was no harm in adding a grudge. However, after word of mouth spread, people would probably not talk about the King of Han, but only talk about Yang Gongren.
A big family like the Li family is deeply rooted. Even if the King of Han can one day take control of Chang'an, he will not eradicate the Li family. Therefore, this matter is still a matter of speculation. I don't know the cause and effect of today's planting, which will cause the descendants of the two surnames Li and Yang in the future.
How much blood was shed.
It’s true that people think too much when they get older…
But when Yang Gongren walked out of the Jinyang prison door, he left the prison in chaos behind.
Yang Gongren's heart couldn't help but feel happy. Li Yuan's thieves poached the Yang family's corner. Today can only be regarded as a slight reward. One day, if Yang Gongren can return to Chang'an, even the King of Han will treat him as a slave.
He was willing to kill with a knife until the blood flowed like a river.
In the final analysis, the hatred between the Li and Yang families was so deep that it could no longer be resolved. What he had thought before was simply due to his own temperament, which was not vicious enough.
……………………
The next day, an article written by Li Shentong and sent to Liu Zhenghui and others was placed on Li Po's desk. Li Po looked at it briefly, smiled slightly, and ordered it to be sent to Zhongshu.
The thing is that simple. If you slightly adjust the process of this incident, it will look like Li Shentong.
Just as Yang Gongren thought, what he did was a bit sinister, and after this incident, no one will rush to flatter the wise Li Yuan, right?
Even the Li family cannot be trusted, and they still want outsiders to help? This attack was obviously aimed at the Li family's reputation. Li Po did not feel complacent for long. He just briefly imagined that if Li Jing was groveling in Chang'an,
After Li Wu and the others were sold, they suddenly felt a little shuddering.
Reputation is really important these days. The reputation of a bad person is like murdering his parents.
Fortunately, there is good news again...
