Yuan Xiaozheng has a weak temperament. Faced with his father's scolding, he used to be obedient, but today he became violent and resisted, making Yuan Junzhang even more angry.
Generally speaking, it is difficult to change a person's personality.
But under special circumstances, or facing a desperate situation, or facing temptation, or being called by an idol, they can do the opposite of what they usually do.
If I explain, the Yuan family is now in a desperate situation... This is Li Shan's detailed analysis in the letter.
Yuan Xiaozheng was also tempted by endless temptation... Li Shan's sworn guarantee in the letter.
As for the idol summons... In Yuan Xiaozheng's mind, Lee Sun-na, who wrote "The Inscription on the Humble Room" is definitely a super idol.
So, when Yuan Junzhang scolded his son and walked away, Yuan Xiaozheng calmly wrote a letter in the study and got up and left.
Two quarters of an hour later, Yuan Junzhang came over quickly, picked up the letter with a dark face, kicked over the desk a moment later, and roared: "Li Huairen, how dare you do this?!"
Yuan Junzhang tore up the letter and went straight out of the house with an angry look on his face. He led his guards out of the city quickly and galloped eastward.
"It is unfilial to be unable to serve your father."
"But filial piety comes in different sizes, and small filial piety is hard to compare with great filial piety."
"Continuing the incense and passing it on to your descendants is a great filial piety."
"The current situation is that the Turks are in civil strife, Li Tang has repeatedly provoked them, the eldest brother has suffered unexpected events, and several younger brothers are young. The children are not traveling here for themselves, but for the Shuozhou Yuan family."
These words flashed through Yuan Junzhang's mind one by one. He did not expect that the second son, who had always been dull, would dare to abandon him... and even give such a reasonable reason.
The horse was galloping, and in just half an hour, he saw more than a hundred riders in the distance. Yuan Junzhang was relieved at first, but then he cursed secretly... How could Erlang escape to Yanmen Pass in such a short time? This move was nothing more than
Just strengthen your resolve and make your position clear.
You can use your butt to get it, it should be Li Huairen’s method from beginning to end!
Three or four hundred riders met on the left. Yuan Xiaozheng had even dismounted and bowed to greet him on the roadside. Yuan Junzhang sent his guards away and slapped his son's shoulder unceremoniously with a whip.
"Since I was a child, I have not been able to become a martial artist. I have a shallow mind and no city." Yuan Junzhang sneered: "What I said today, what I did today...hehe, you have found a good master!"
"Although the child is stupid, he also knows that Master Li has an agenda." Yuan Xiaozheng said calmly: "But is what Master Li said true?"
"Liu Wu and Zhou were a lesson for Yin. The Turks were in civil strife. The grain reserves in Shuo and Yun states were exhausted. People were separated from each other. The soldiers fled. Without Master Li, we could still barely support him. But now that Master Li has taken action, my father should know that there is no room left."
"At this moment, my father was hesitant and turned into an elbow and armpit..."
"Shut up!" Yuan Junzhang, who was ashen-faced, whipped him again, but this time the force was much weaker.
After pacing back and forth for a long time, Yuan Junzhang asked in a low voice with a pulled face: "What did Li Huairen say?"
Yuan Xiaozheng was a little confused when he heard this, "Father means..."
"Li Huairen used all kinds of means to amass wealth through trade routes, attract people by granting land, and he also accepted a good disciple like you." Yuan Junzhang sneered: "What he wants is nothing more than the two."
"One is a certain person, and the other is Mayi."
At this moment, Yuan Junzhang sighed in his heart. This large-scale march south took more than a month to conquer Mayi, and almost exhausted everything in Shuozhou and Yunzhou, but it was not necessarily without any benefit... at least for himself and Ma.
The city is one, and after all, it has some weight in negotiations.
Therefore, Yuan Junzhang is asking for a price... Li Huairen has accepted you as his apprentice. After struggling for so long and using so many tricks, he still hasn't made an offer yet, right?
Seeing that his son was still confused, Yuan Junzhang had to break up his words and speak clearly and thoroughly.
Yuan Xiaozheng hesitated and said: "Master Li mentioned once that Emperor Tang was kind..."
Yuan Junzhang sneered. They were all from Hedong back then, and Daizhou was not far from Taiyuan Prefecture. He had known Li Yuan in his early years... This is a kind man, don't be kidding!
During the pre-Sui Dynasty, Li Yuan had been unsuccessful for a long time and was once teased by Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty. He was called "Grandma", but Yuan Junzhang knew that Li Yuan's methods were cruel.
During the Daye period, Li Yuan suppressed civil unrest and built corpses in the capital, which frightened those who heard about it. He later ascended the throne as emperor. His actions in Tuxia County stopped the children in Hedong from crying at night. More importantly, most of the leaders of the forces who surrendered to the Tang Dynasty were beheaded by him.
This list is not short... This is where Yuan Junzhang is most hesitant.
"Keep talking."
"I want you to be granted the title of Duke and be the governor of a state." Yuan Xiaozheng coughed twice, "Maybe Shuozhou... but I can also choose another place."
For Yuan Junzhang himself, he still has not given up... From a rational analysis, he himself knows that there is no hope, but from a perceptual point of view, or that his choice largely comes from his desire for power, he still hopes
Can control Shuozhou.
You may be able to live peacefully in another place, but as a real man, you must never be without authority!
Yuan Junzhang looked up to the east with a gloomy face, "I heard that all the heroes of Taiyuan Yuanmou were given iron coupons."
"What?"
"You don't understand, but Li Huairen definitely understands." Yuan Junzhang pointed to the east, "dress up in disguise and enter Yanmen Pass. If Li Huairen agrees, you can go straight to Chang'an to meet the Emperor of Tang Dynasty."
Yuan Xiaozheng was shocked. He decided so easily?
I just followed Master Li's instructions and acted out a show of running eastward, but in the end I really had to go to Chang'an to meet the Emperor of Tang Dynasty?
Yuan Junzhang may have known his son's stupidity, so he told him bluntly: "Even if Emperor Tang doesn't allow it, you don't have to go back to Shuozhou anymore."
After a pause, Yuan Junzhang sighed: "Actually, what you said is right... No, it was Li Huairen who said it right."
"The Mayiyuan family must always leave a legacy of incense."
Seeing his son leaving reluctantly, Yuan Junzhang thought of Gao Manzheng, whose family was almost wiped out by him half a month ago... As early as after the last battle in Mayi, Gao Manzheng sent his eldest son and second son to Chang'an.
I also had to prepare this move.
The next day, inside Yanmen Pass, Li Shan clicked his tongue, shook his head with a smile and said, "Mr. Yuan didn't ask you to ask for iron coupons from the saint."
Yuan Xiaozheng Chi asked: "What my father said was that the Yuanmou hero Tie Guan was too far away..."
"Iron coupons to avoid death." Li Shan explained: "There are seventeen people in total. Except for the serious crime of treason, they are allowed to avoid death from one to three times."
"But the iron coupon to avoid death can only be given by a saint. How can a minister be qualified to ask for it?"
"Let alone negotiating terms based on this."
"Master Li, then father..." Yuan Xiaozheng became a little anxious, "But I'm afraid father won't..."
"Don't be anxious." Li Shan wrote lightly: "Yuan Gong knew that he was respected by the saints, so he wanted to let him play secretly."
"You don't have to worry about this matter. The division will send its personal guards back to Beijing tomorrow. You can join them and set off together."
"In addition, there are a few things to ask."
Yuan Xiaozheng was overjoyed and prostrated on the ground, "Students listen to Master Li's teachings."
Li Shan smiled and said: "First, it does not involve dynastic disputes. Now in Chang'an City, the crown prince and the King of Qin are competing for the throne."
"Second, after entering Beijing, everything will be subject to Su Dingfang's arrangements."
"Third, if you ask a sage, you can mention him as a teacher. You don't need to sing praises, you just need to tell the truth."
Yuan Xiaozheng responded one by one and asked softly: "Master Li, do you need to visit Duke Qiao?"
Li Shan shook his head slightly, was silent for a while and added: "Bring a few good horses to the capital and choose one to give to Duke Tan."
Duke Tan was Guo Zihe. He was given the surname Li by Li Yuan, so he should be called Li Zihe. He was the best among the leaders of the forces who surrendered to the Tang Dynasty.
Yuan Xiaozheng represents Yuan Junzhang's attitude. He wants to make his position clear, and imitating Li Zihe is the best choice... because Li Zihe occupied Yunzhou in his early years.
