It turned out to be King Li Ye of Qi. Yuwenzhi was so frightened that he took a breath of air and stepped back two steps: "Our Yuwen family has been ruined. How else can you let us go?"
Li Ye said calmly: "You don't have to be so nervous. I'm just here to inquire about the situation. I hope you tell the truth. But if you dare to deceive me, you might as well settle the old and new accounts together!"
Yu Wenzhi was frightened by Li Ye's strong pressure and could only clasp his fists and said: "As long as I know the truth, I will tell you the truth and I will not dare to hide it from Your Highness."
"I don't care about the troubles of your Yuwen family. I just want to ask about Li Huai's situation. Why was he promoted to the governor of Pingzhou? Don't tell me that he has nothing to do with the Goguryeo people."
"Since Your Highness knows, why bother asking more questions?"
"Do I need to know the details?" Li Ye looked at him sharply.
Yu Wenzhi was silent for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "It's a long story, so I would like to condescend you to go sit in the living room for a while!"
Li Ye nodded and said to the soldiers: "Go and wait outside the gate."
The soldiers retreated one after another, and Li Ye followed Yu Wenzhi to the guest hall. Yu Wenzhi asked him to sit down.
"You will not hide anything in your humble position. Tell the truth. If there is any discrepancy with what His Highness knows, please investigate again."
"I know, just speak up!"
Yuwenzhi sighed and said: "The Yuwen family went to Youzhou before Anlushan's rebellion. At that time, Anlushan was recruiting celebrities from all over the world, and the conditions he offered were very attractive, especially one. Regardless of whether he was guilty or not,
Let bygones be bygones, so there were a lot of people there at that time. The first person from the Yuwen family to go was Yuwenwei. At first, An Lushan attached great importance to it, and appointed Yuwenwei as a recorder of affairs in Youzhou to join the army. This was considered to be a high-level position in the Youzhou army. The Yuwen family was encouraged by everyone.
, all went.
But something went wrong soon. An Lushan began to give a cold shoulder to the Yuwen family. Yuwenwei was appointed governor of Pingping, and other clan members were not used. We found out much later that Yuwenwei had a problem with his team. At that time, Yanzhuang and Gao Shang were fighting.
Very powerful, Yu Wenwei didn't want to take sides, he refused to agree to the invitation from both sides, and as a result, both sides were offended. What good results would there be if he offended Yan Zhuang and Gao Shang at the same time in Youzhou?"
Li Ye nodded. If he doesn't have enough strength, he must take sides. Only when he is strong enough can he put on airs. If neither side takes sides, otherwise both sides will be offended. Yu Wenwei obviously did not realize this.
"Then what?"
"Then we were given a cold reception after we went to Youzhou. We all regretted it, but we didn't want to leave. If we dared to leave, An Lushan would kill people, so we all had no choice but to go to Pingzhou. After all, Yu Wenwei was appointed governor of Pingzhou.
Unexpectedly, what was lost in the East was gained in mulberry trees. However, the Goguryeo people in Pingzhou took a fancy to the blood of the Yuwen family, the descendants of the Northern Zhou royal family. The two parties hit it off and decided to marry. A total of four people married Goguryeo. Yuwenwei's son Yuwenshu, Yuwen
Hui's stepson Yuwen Huaide, my nephew Yuwen Huaiji, and one of my nieces."
"Yuwen Huaide is Li Huai!"
"Yes! He married the daughter of the Gao family of the Goguryeo royal family, named Gao Hong. She was a very strong woman, much stronger than Yu Wenluo. She was very skilled in martial arts and was rumored to have a very disorderly life.
But Yuwen Huaide accepted this woman in order to climb up the ladder.
She was four years older than Yuwen Huaide, but she was getting married for the third time. At that time, Yuwen Huaide had already married a concubine and gave birth to a son. He was afraid that his concubine and son would be killed by Gao Hong, so he sent his mother and son away
He came to Chang'an, married Gao Hong, and was immediately named the magistrate of Jixian County. The Goguryeo people valued him more than anyone else in the Yuwen family, so they made him the governor of Pingzhou.
"Do the Goguryeo people know his true identity?"
"You should know, but Goguryeo valued him because of his ability. He successfully resolved the land conflict between the Han and Khitan people in Jixian, which was recognized by both parties. He resolved decades of conflicts, so the Goguryeo people valued him.
One glance.”
"How did he resolve it?" Li Ye asked curiously.
"It's easy to say it's easy, but it's hard to say it's hard. In order to get the Tongluo tribe, Anlu Mountain specially set aside a pasture at the foot of Yanshan Mountain in Jixian County. This is official land. Later, the Tongluo tribe didn't come, and this piece of official land was also
It had been vacant, so Li Huai went to An Lushan and proposed his own plan to resolve the conflict between the Han and Khitan people. At that time, An Lushan was about to rebel. In order to stabilize the rear, he agreed to hand over the pasture to Li Huai for the first time.
Li Huai went to negotiate with the leaders of the Han people and the Khitan people. He exchanged this pasture for 10,000 acres of fertile land from the Khitans, and then used 10,000 acres of fertile land to exchange the 7,000 acres of land that caused the conflict back from both sides.
, turned into official farmland, of which an additional 3,000 acres of land was given to the Han people.
The Khitan people were very satisfied. They did not lose the conflicting fertile land and gained a large pasture. The Han people were also satisfied. They exchanged the conflicting 4,000 acres of land for 7,000 acres.
Then Li Huai handed over the conflicting 7,000 acres of land to Anlushan. As military land, Anlushan was also satisfied. In contrast, he needed farmland more to ensure the supply of military food, so everyone was happy."
Li Ye nodded, "The key here is that the Khitan people are willing to exchange 10,000 acres of fertile land for a pasture."
"Yes! This is the difference in national cognition. The Han people believe that farmland is more valuable, while the Khitan people believe that pasture is more valuable. Once this is grasped, all three parties will be happy."
"No wonder the Goguryeo people value Li Huai very much. Li Huai did a good job in this matter, but Li Huai said that he married the concubine of the Lu family."
Yuwenzhi shook his head, "Your Highness, think about it, Fan Yang's Lu family is one of the five surnames and seven hopes in the world. How could he marry the Yuwen family, which has a strong Xianbei bloodline? But the Lu family is also right. After the Gaozang rebellion was suppressed,
The Pingzhou Gao family was afraid of being liquidated by the imperial court, so they took their Lulong County as their surname and changed their surname to Lu. They were called the Pingzhou Lu family. The Pingzhou Lu family lasted for more than fifty years, and it was not until the Tianbao period that the Gao family was restored.
surname."
Li Ye sneered, "It turned out to be the Lu family in Pingzhou. I thought it was the Lu family in Fanyang."
Li Ye stood up and said, "Thank you very much!"
Yu Wenzhi sent Li Ye out of the door and watched him walk away, then he realized that his back was soaked with sweat.
………
In the evening, Li Ye estimated that his father was back, so he came to his parents' house. Li Huai was a thorn in the side of his father, Li Dai, and he had to tell his father about this.
In the study, Li Dai couldn't help but widen his eyes after listening to Li Ye's narration.
The eldest son married not the daughter of the Lu family of Fan Yang, but the Gao family, a descendant of the royal family of Goguryeo. How could he deceive himself like this?
"Father, is Li Nan's mother here? You can ask her about her situation."
"She doesn't necessarily know!"
But Li Dai still sent his maid to invite Li Nan's mother, Wang.
Not long after, a young woman came in a hurry, with a delicate appearance. She was Li Huai's concubine, Mrs. Wang.
Wang was originally a singer. She had a good relationship with Li Huai and became pregnant with his child. Li Dai originally wanted her to remarry, but she refused. Thinking that the child could not live without his mother, Li Dai had no choice but to forget it.
Mrs. Wang gave a Wanfu gift to her father-in-law, "Ms. Wang gave me a gift for my father-in-law!"
Li Dai asked: "Have you met Li Huai's wife in Youzhou?"
Ms. Wang shook her head, "We hadn't married yet because the other party wouldn't marry me if I didn't leave."
"Do you know where the principal wife is from?"
"That person must be from Pingzhou. The woman's natal family is in Lulong County, Pingzhou."
Li Dai was stunned for a moment. He just read Li Huai's letter and believed in what Li Huai said in the letter, so he didn't ask Mr. Wang. If he had asked more questions, he would have found out the problem. How could Mr. Fan Yang and Mr. Lu be in peace?
state?
"I understand, go ahead!"
Wang bowed and left, and Li Dai sat down slumped. No wonder Li Huai refused to come back. It turned out that he was married to a Goguryeo.
Li Dai was shocked and asked Li Ye for a long time: "What will be the consequences of his marriage to a Goguryeo?"
Li Ye said slowly: "The Goguryeo people want to join forces with the Khitan to seize Youzhou. If Li Huai also participates, it will be treason, but no matter what, I will spare his life."
Li Dai shook his head, "If Li Huai rebels against the country, then I will never have this son. I would rather he die early than bear the charge of treason."
