Li Hu is Li Qingchen's grandson? This is really incredible and incredible. What is particularly terrible is that once this matter is exposed, major changes will surely occur in the Northern Expedition.

"Do you have evidence?" Li Gang stayed for a long time, finally suppressing the horror in his heart, and asked in a low voice.

Ma Kuo nodded and said that he had been on the Jin Dynasty last year and was captured by the Heishan Rebel Army in the mountains. He happened to meet Li Hu from beginning to end. "Li Hu repeatedly said that he was from the Song Dynasty and insisted on following me back to the Song Dynasty. Of course, I would not believe his nonsense. Later, after Li Hu commanded the rebel army to capture Longhua, he told me about this matter again, and I could not ignore its authenticity. So after I returned to Bianjing, I immediately sent someone to Anyang to investigate. Li Qingchen's descendants suffered a miserable experience, and all their children and grandchildren were exiled to the border and there was no news yet."

Li Qingchen and Han Qi were relatives. Through the Han family, Ma Kuo learned about one thing that Li Qingchen had an adopted son, named Li Changhao, who was very talented. When Li Qingchen became the prime minister, he made a lot of efforts. Emperor Zhezong summoned him several times. Before the Yuanyou Party Case broke out, Li Qingchen was attacked by Prime Minister Zeng Bu and went to Daming Mansion. Li Changhao was always with him. After the Yuanyou Party Case broke out, Li Qingchen was angry and died. Li Qingchen's four sons were exiled for crimes, but Li Changhao was unknown. According to Li Qingchen's brother-in-law, Li Changhao had never been married and had no children. However, in the year when Li Qingchen passed away, his youngest daughter-in-law gave birth to a child, nicknamed Huzi, and Li Qingchen adopted the child to Li Changhao.

Li Hu's father was Li Changhao. Because Li Hu was young and Li Changhao intentionally concealed, Li Hu knew only about his family background, and only knew that he was from Anyang. His grandfather had been a high-ranking official, but his family was destroyed because of his enemy. Judging from Li Hu's age, ancestral home, his father's name, and his grandfather had been a high-ranking official. When he fled, Li Hu was Li Qingchen's grandson.

"You live in Jinzhou and spend your time with Li Hu day and night, and from my perspective, Li Hu has a very good impression of you." Ma Kuo said. "If nothing unexpected happens, Li Hu is very likely to make indirect comments when he asks about the local affairs of Anyang hometown. If you don't know the situation, you will definitely tell Li Qingchen. When talking about the Yuanyou Party Case, Li Hu is very smart and understands it as soon as he hears it. You can imagine, if Li Hu knew that his enemy was the current emperor and the prime minister Cai Jing, what would he react? Even if he thought about his hometown, remembering that he was a Chinese and continued to do his best to the Northern Expedition, what would happen in the future?"

Li Gang breathed rapidly, felt slightly suffocated, and was sweating profusely. This matter was too amazing, and its consequences were even more amazing.

"What will happen in the future?" Li Gang asked sternly, "What will happen in the future? How can this kind of thing be hidden? There are only Han Qi and Li Qingchen in Anyang, and Li Qingchen is famous for the reform and is famous. Li Hu may know his life experience at any time. He is not a child anymore. He is the leader of the Liaodong Rebel Army. Whether it is based on the interests of the Liaodong Rebel Army or his own hatred, he will make a choice, and this choice is definitely not conducive to the Song Dynasty. You should report this matter to the emperor, how can you hide it without authorization and affect the emperor's decision-making."

"What do you think of?" Ma Kuo also asked coldly, "Don't you know the current situation of the court? Apart from the emperor and Cai Jing and his gang of war ministers, how many people can see the future situation clearly? Do you really have to force the emperor to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight? Judging from the current situation in Liaodong, it is the best opportunity for the Song Dynasty to recover my hometown and rebuild the barrier of the Central Plains. Once lost, whether Liaodong maintains the current confrontation between Liao and Jin, or the Jurchens rise with the trend, the Central Plains will be in constant war. The emperor made it very clear that the foundation for maintaining the century-old alliance has changed. This alliance is about to collapse, and a hundred-year peace will be gone. If the Song Dynasty does not take the opportunity to recover Yan Yun, what will happen in the future?"

"But the question is, what if Li Hu knew about this before the success of the Northern Expedition and changed his strategy, what should we do?" Li Gang asked helplessly.

"Since you stay with Li Hu, you should find a way to stop Li Hu from understanding his life experience." Ma Kuo said, "Next winter, the Song Dynasty will definitely make a Northern Expedition. With Li Hu's help, the Northern Expedition will definitely be successful. As long as the Northern Expedition is successful, the Song Dynasty will regain its hometown and rebuild the Central Plains barrier. What will happen if Li Hu knows his life experience at that time?"

"Don't forget that Li Hu is already a vassal state, and this incident may cause disasters to the vassal state. "With the strength of the Song Dynasty, are still afraid of disasters to the vassal state?" Ma Kuo disagreed.

"This is Liaodong, and it is the foundation of Li Hu." Li Gang was very dissatisfied with Ma Kuo's attitude. "Think about how the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun were lost? Why did Shi Jingtang betray the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun back then? We have a lesson in the past, how can we repeat the same mistake?"

This sentence hits the point, Ma Kuo lowered his head and said nothing, hesitating and helpless. If Li Hu became the second Shi Jingtang, it would be terrible. The efforts of the Song Dynasty for more than two hundred years have been gone in vain.

Li Gang thought for a long time, but shook his head helplessly. He never dreamed that things in Liaodong were so complicated.

Ma Kuo did not report the truth, mainly from the perspective of the court. In order to successfully achieve the Northern Expedition, he was not wrong, but this matter was full of variables.

Li Hu is a descendant of Li Qingchen. If he knew his origin, how would he choose? Like his grandfather, be a loyal minister and continue to serve the Song Dynasty, or like Shi Jingtang, be a sinner who has been infamous for thousands of years? Or, take advantage of the chaos in the world, and strive for the cause of kings and dominance?

If the emperor and Cai Jing knew about this, what would they choose? Should they make up for the failure? Even if they correct the mistakes, restore Li Qingchen's innocence, restore Li Qingchen's identity as a member of the Yuanfeng party, completely rehabilitate Li Qingchen, or insist on mistakes, let Li Qingchen continue to suffer unjust injustice, and never be able to turn over with the crime of "traitorous party"?

It is obvious that the emperor would not admit his mistakes. Besides, there is no mistake in knocking the Yuanyou Party to the ground, but the means are too fierce. If Li Qingchen's innocence is restored, it is equivalent to admitting his mistakes, which the emperor cannot do.

Similarly, Cai Jing would not admit his mistakes. Once he admits his mistakes, everything will be over. The opponents in the court will take this opportunity to knock him over to the ground, and all enemies will jump out and tear him apart. It is more likely that he will behave in accordance with the rules, carve his guilt on a stone tablet and stand it in front of government offices in various prefectures and counties, so that he will never be reborn.

Death game, this is a dead game, a dead game that cannot be solved.

To take a step back, even if Li Hu is willing to inherit the legacy of his ancestors, give up his grudges, and be a loyal minister wholeheartedly, the emperor and Cai Jing will never give him this opportunity, because Li Hu is a vassal state, because Li Hu's strength threatens their safety. They will use the excuse of governing vassal states to force Li Hu to a dead end and become a treacherous minister.

Shi Jingtang was in such a desperate situation back then. When he decided to betray the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, wasn't he in pain? Didn't he know that he would leave a terrified reputation in history? But he was unwilling to give up survival, and he couldn't swallow the resentment in his heart. Even if he committed suicide for China, he was a sinner and a treacherous minister who was despised. Since that's the case, why not just be a treacherous minister, crush those shameless Chinese people into powder, and let those shameless Chinese people and their descendants suffer.

People have conscience, but when they are lost, they will destroy themselves, and destroy this world that makes them extremely hated.

Li Hu still has a conscience now, but Li Hu is a bloody butcher. But when he is forced into a desperate situation, his destructive power will also make the world tremble.

The two discussed for a long time, but the final choice was only one, to conceal it, at least to conceal it until after the success of the Northern Expedition.

What to do in the future? It’s very simple, kill Li Hu. The Song Dynasty will never allow the existence of vassal states, so the emperor and Li Hu will inevitably have conflicts in the future, not to mention that there is an unresolved hatred between them. In order to prevent the recurrence of Shi Jingtang’s disaster, the easiest way for the emperor was to lure Li Hu to Bianjing after the success of the Northern Expedition and kill him. As for the Liaodong Rebel Army, those who can spend money to bribe, and those who cannot bribe will be killed. If someone rebels, their strength cannot be compared with Li Hu at all, and they should be easy to kill.

The next day, Ma Kuo and Zhao Liangsi left Jinzhou quietly.

Li Hu decided to arrange an official position for Li Gang in the General's Office, otherwise it would easily cause unnecessary trouble. Luo Qinghan and others disagreed. They did not understand why Li Hu trusted Li Gang. The Emperor of the Song Dynasty's attitude towards the rebel army at present seemed to be just a use. His purpose of leaving Li Gang in the rebel army was to supervise the rebel army, monitor the rebel army, command the rebel army, and to ask the rebel army to follow his orders. This is ridiculous and an infuriating thing.

Li Hu believed that those with superb skills could turn bad things into good things. Li Gang stayed in the rebel army as a special envoy, on the surface was a bad thing, but if he made good use of it, he used Li Gang to play the role of the special envoy, and gain the trust and assistance of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty through Li Gang, that would be a great thing.
