Chapter 124 Struggle of Interests

PreviousBack to directoryNext
In the study, Li Ye opened Feilong's autobiography, which was his description of his life in the form of a fairy tale.

In his previous life, Feilong was named Yuan Feilong. He was a Taoist priest in Nanshan at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. He also passed the imperial examination when he was young. However, due to the war in the late Yuan Dynasty, he chose to live in seclusion and become a Taoist monk.

Feilong wrote that when he was passing through the Jingshui River and crossing a bridge, he fell into the river and realized the Tao and was able to ascend. However, due to insufficient catastrophe, he could not ascend to immortality. He then came to a small overseas country, the Qiulong Kingdom, and possessed his supreme emperor.

Wenshui is the Wuting River, the Qiulong Kingdom is the Tang Dynasty, and the Qiulong is the imprisoned dragon, which is a metaphor for Li Dan being forced to abdicate.

The autobiography contains many secrets that are unknown to the public. He wanted to regain the throne, and he secretly planned for decades to raise money and cultivate loyalty. Zhao Zhong, who grew up in the palace, was his first confidant.

Zhao Zhong refers to Wang Zhongsi. Wang Zhongsi is Feilong's first apprentice. He has been the commander-in-chief in the frontier for a long time and has military power.

Wang Zhongsi was about to lead troops into Chang'an. Unexpectedly, the emperor Li Longji noticed the abnormality in advance. Wang Zhongsi was immediately deprived of military power and was immediately poisoned.

But Li Longji made a mistake. He thought Wang Zhongsi was colluding with Prince Li Heng, but he didn't know that Wang Zhongsi was actually loyal to the Supreme Emperor.

The autobiography also states that he was infatuated with Queen Muyi of the Qiu Long Kingdom, which should refer to Concubine Yang.

Feilong made no secret of his infatuation. Every time he saw her, he was fascinated and couldn't help himself. He also made no secret of his hatred for the emperor Li Longji, who had taken away his kingdom and occupied the woman who should have belonged to him.

At the end of the book, Feilong mentioned himself that he had a strange dream and that he would fall into Wenshui again and ascend for the second time.

The day after he had the strange dream, Lie Feng told him that Pei Min asked her to save a young man who was almost dead. In his coma, he was full of surprises, such as the Anshi Rebellion and Zhu Wen's usurpation of the Tang Dynasty.

This made Fei Long ecstatic. This was his destiny, the source of strange dreams, and this young man had come to replace him.

There is no more writing later, probably because Feilong put the book in the stone house and never had a chance to open it.

The entire autobiography is full of dissatisfaction and complaints, full of dark mentality and negative emotions. Li Ye always thought that Feilong was a master who concealed himself deeply.

Only now did Li Ye know that Feilong was a complete time-travel failure. He had not changed anything. Even the format of a book was still the scroll format of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, not the volume format of the Song Dynasty and later.

He knew clearly that there was the Anshi Rebellion, and as the Supreme Emperor, he completely avoided An Lushan from being reused, but he didn't care at all. He just said, "What does the Tang Dynasty have to do with me?" He completely shied away the responsibility.

Li Ye closed the book. It was already noon. He thought for a moment, came to the incense burner, lit the book with a fire folding stick, and put it into the incense burner. Soon, the raging fire completely engulfed the silk book.

This volume has no value to Li Ye. On the contrary, it is a potential danger. Li Ye must not let such a dangerous thing remain in the world.

When I got home, I saw that the yard was full of cloth, wrapped in oil paper, ten pieces in a bundle, there were fifty bundles. This should be the reward for the second place in the spring hunting, one thousand pieces of cloth, Li Ye and the Cheng family each

Divide in half.

Pei Sanniang and Mu Auntie are discussing how to deal with these cloths. The cloth of the Tang Dynasty was also currency. One piece was worth about 100 yuan and could be used directly to buy things.

"Ye'er, you came just in time. You brought a bundle of cloth to Li Xun's family. While you were not at home, Li Xun's mother sent fifty kilograms of cured meat and two hundred kilograms of rice. We have to return the gift."

There is no need to return this gift. Li Ye knew it very well. It was actually a gift from his father to the Li Xun family in a twist, but he could not refute it, otherwise his mother would not accept it.

"I see!"

Li Ye handed the horse to Azhen and sent Tiance's bow back to the house. He had already put on his golden silk clothes.

Li Ye was not in a hurry to go to Li Xun's house. He first moved fifty bundles of cloth to the inner hall, and then carried a bundle of cloth to Li Xun's house.

The person who opened the door was Li Xun's sister Li Xiaohe. She was a little depressed and no longer had her usual naughty smile.

"Ah! When did Brother Ye come back?"

Li Ye smiled and said, "I came back last night, but my mother didn't tell you?"

"I took two days off. My eldest brother is injured and I'm taking care of him!"

Li Ye frowned, "Okay, why are you injured?"

"I wonder who brother has offended?"

Li Ye had an ominous feeling in his heart. He put down the cloth and said, "This bundle of cloth is for you. Take me to see your elder brother."

Li Ye followed Li Xiaohe to the side courtyard and walked into a room. He saw Li Xun sitting on the bed, with a splint on his left arm and hanging around his neck. He was reading a book with his right hand and was still concentrating on reciting scriptures.

"Brother, Brother Ye is here."

Li Xun quickly struggled to sit up, "Ah Ye is back, sit down wherever you want!"

Li Ye pulled a stool and sat down, while Li Xiaohe ran to pour water.

"What happened to brother's hand?"

"Obviously, it's broken. Fortunately, it's my left arm. If it were my right arm, my studies would be over!"

"When did it happen?" Li Ye asked.

"The night before yesterday!"

Li Xun smiled bitterly and said: "I came back a little late. I came back just as the gate was closing. Just as I was about to enter, two people suddenly ran up from behind. They dragged me off the donkey, beat me and kicked me, and then hit me with a stick.

The arm was broken and the two ran away."

"Any idea who did it?"

Li Xun shook his head, "They wore face masks and didn't say anything the whole time. My father went to report it to the authorities yesterday, but it was of no use. Although the authorities opened a case, they were unable to investigate."

"Is it because of me that someone in the school is taking revenge on you?" Li Ye asked again.

"Probably not. The Shenlong Party has disbanded. Several of the people you beat have transferred to another school and left. I have no interaction with the others."

Li Ye saw that Li Xun was hesitant to speak, so he looked at him and said, "Actually, you know the reason, don't you?"

"I wonder if that's a thing?"

"you say!"

"A few days ago, Li Ning, the 39th son, and Li Xiao, the 40th son, who were studying at the county school, were also beaten. They were so miserable that they lay at home for several days, unable to get out of bed."

Li Ye had never heard of these two people, so he asked again: "Do these two brothers have anything to do with you?"

Li Xun nodded, "Their father and my father both hang out with Uncle Wu. Do you understand? They are our own people!"

"To be more specific, I don't know very well!"

Li Xun further explained: "I told you before that the five legitimate sons control the family's property and resources. The other concubines and grandsons will either be willing to live in poverty and receive five guans of monthly money, or they will depend on the legitimate sons and become stewards.

, wasn’t it your father who recommended my dad to become the farm steward?”

"Then what?"

"Uncle Wu used to be in charge of the farm, but now he's in charge of the restaurant and inn. There are five restaurants and three inns. My father and their father have also changed to be in charge of the restaurant and inn. In this way, someone will have to be in charge of the farm, which will cause losses.

Great benefit.”

Li Ye understood, "So the other bastards have a grudge and take it out on you juniors?"

Li Xun shook his head, "My father said it has nothing to do with the concubine!"

"Does your father think it was the fourth child, Li Min, who did it?"

Li Xun nodded silently, "Actually, everyone knows that he planned it. The purpose was to force my father and the other two uncles to return to the farm. But there is no evidence. The key is that the fourth uncle is not in the capital, so he completely cleared it up."

"Does my father know?"

"Uncle Wu knew that he went to the county government and asked the county government to file a case!"

Speaking of this, Li Xun said worriedly: "You have to be careful these days. All three of us have been beaten. Their next target must be you!"

Li Ye sneered and said, "It's best for them to provoke me!"
