Li Tai quickly took the silk book handed by Li Zhongju with both hands, and then spread it carefully on the case.
The content of the silk book is not long: "I am very relieved to know the news about my son; your brother is in charge, so you can work with me; if you are still uneasy after gathering here, it is useless for you to return; the division of the family and the country is not my son's fault. Even though you have no vision of life, don’t sin against yourself; don’t think about it and don’t return; don’t lose your family because of your foolishness and filial piety; don’t let your mother be buried in the underworld and unable to see her ancestors.”
With just a few crosses, the image of a loving mother who is both happy and worried, and who talks sincerely appears on the silk book. The expectations for her son's future and worries about his safety are revealed between the lines. Most of the content is to advise Li Tai not to go back, and to give him some advice. Find various reasons for the solution.
Li Tai stared at the silk book, and the blood-stained words in his mind outlined the image of his mother more clearly and concretely.
If at first this image was just an abstract concept that relied on some human emotions, then now he was truly convinced that there was indeed such a loving mother in the world, who wholeheartedly hoped that he would be safe, happy, and successful.
It wasn't until the tears flowed down his cheeks into the corners of his mouth that the bitter taste made Li Taixing turn around. He hurriedly raised his hands to wipe away the tears on his face, and then said to Li Qianzhi with some embarrassment: "The kind words of admonishment, I haven't seen you for a long time, let Wu Brother is laughing at me."
After hearing this, Li Qianzhi waved her hands and said it was nothing, and said to Li Tai seriously: "What Chen Youcheng said, Thirteenth Prince, do you still want to think carefully before making a conclusion?"
Now that there were only three cousins present in the hall, Li Tai no longer needed to deliberately maintain his image as a loyal minister of the Western Wei Dynasty. When he heard what Li Qianzhi said, he did not answer directly, but asked first: "I want to ask the fifth brother, If the recruitment of General Gao this time is fruitless, will he vent his anger and harm his relatives in Guandong? If such a thing really happens, do all the relatives and friends have a plan to deal with it? "
"Thirteenth Prince, all my relatives and disciples discussed your question before I left, and they all agreed that it should not happen for the time being. The current domestic and foreign troubles in the country are not limited to the crisis in Heyang. Even if General Gao expresses his anger and kills my clan, You can't restrain your troops externally, and you can't appease the public sentiment internally. It will be of no use to the country and will not be beneficial to the cause. General Gao has been in charge of state affairs for a short period of time. If he is really so ignorant and unwise, I am afraid that my family will suffer misfortune last year."
After hearing this, Li Qianzhi replied.
When Li Tai heard this, he showed a look of shame on his face: "Alas, the east and west are divided, and the world is cunning. Although he was brave and accomplished things, he put his family in unpredictable dangers..."
Li Qianzhi sighed when she saw him like this, and then said: "Before leaving, my uncle asked me to tell Thirteenth Prince that your current situation and deeds are all of your own making. There are few people who are close to the party and help you. There is no need to rely on the public to decide whether to stay or go." Meaning is thought.
If you have the intention to return to the east, you may go straight back now, and it may be unfavorable if you delay. If you don't have this intention, there is no need to hesitate about it. It is indeed good for relatives and disciples to stay together and work together, but if the disaster of Heyin reappears, And what can be done about it?”
The uncle Li Qianzhi mentioned was named Li Yu, and he was the out-and-out eldest son of the Li family in Longxi. He was also one of the few elders among Li Tai's fathers who were spared the disaster of Heyin.
When Li Tai heard these words, he couldn't help but sigh. The Heyin Incident was not only a disaster for the Northern Wei Dynasty, but also a catastrophe for the Li family in Longxi. Several of Li Tai's own elders, including Li Qianzhi's father, all died. During the Heyin Incident, I still feel unspeakable pain in my heart when talking about this incident.
Li Tai felt a little relieved when he heard that his clansmen did not use family ties as a shackle to put pressure on him to persuade him to return eastward.
The people of the Ruo tribe strongly hope that he can lead his army and surrender eastward in the hope of seeking refuge, but if he refuses to go back, no matter what is right or wrong, he will undoubtedly leave a ruthless and mean image to others.
Li Tai would definitely not go back, but Gao Cheng spoke up and showed so much sincerity. If he had said nothing at all, he would have made it clear that he wanted to embarrass the other party and force him to do something to his family.
revenge.
After pondering for a while, he then led Chen Yuankang and his subordinates in. He looked at Chen Yuankang seriously and said: "I have no distractions from what I have experienced before, but today I feel the dilemma of loyalty and filial piety.
I then asked Chen Youcheng to go back and tell General Gao Da, and thank General Gao Da for his attention and appreciation. However, Boshan had physical and mental belongings and had no intention of going east, and he was not selling for a price. His family made a living in the East, but fortunately General Gao Da tolerated him and tolerated him.
Feeling grateful for this kindness, my heart in the matter has lost its purity, so I asked Prime Minister Yu Wen to relieve me from my post and send another talented person to control Heyang. A certain person withdrew from the matter and did not point his bow and sword at Hebei again to answer Gao Da
General benevolence."
"The general does not need to respond hastily, he can still..."
When Chen Yuankang saw that Li Tai still refused the solicitation, he was a little unwilling to accept it. He was about to open his mouth to fight for it, but Li Tai waved his hand and interrupted him.
Li Tai took off a jade pendant from his arm, then took off his outer robe, stabbed his arm with a knife to bleed, and smeared the blood on the jade pendant. He stopped when the entire jade was suddenly stained with blood.
.
"My loving mother worked hard during pregnancy and gave me flesh and blood, but today we are far apart from each other. It is not easy to see each other, and I cannot support you. I use this red blood jade bone to comfort my mother. She has raised me into a man, and I have no shortage of courage in my work! The kindness of a drop of water is repaid by a spring.
, Yaizhen’s resentment, destroy the clan in return!”
He then brought the white silk wooden box, wrapped the jade jade and put it in the box, and asked Li Qianzhi to take it back and give it to his mother.
When Chen Yuankang saw this scene, he frowned slightly. He knew what Li Tai was doing, and he couldn't help but feel that Li Tai was a little arrogant.
It is true that the imperial court is in danger of being trapped in Heyang at the moment, but it is also caused by many reasons. So what if you, Li Tai, compare with He Basheng? If the prince really wants to retaliate, how can he be afraid of your threat? Even the prime minister of the Western Dynasty
Yu Wentai, do you dare to boast about overthrowing the clan in return?
Li Tai seemed to have read through Chen Yuankang's thoughts. When he looked at him again, he was less peaceful and looked at him more condescendingly. His tone was also more arrogant: "Chen Youcheng has been working hard for a long time. Today,
It is not a bad luck for you to meet each other.
A good man among men is one who is capable of seeking a country and a wise man who is capable of planning a family. You should know that if you don’t have long-term plans, you will have immediate worries. The prosperity of the Gao family and the sudden death of Erzhu are both unexpected. It is true that Chen Youcheng owes his current glory to the Gao family.
I envy others, but do you know how long your honor and favor will last?
Chen Youcheng thought that the temporary honor and favor would be overwhelming, but he would find it difficult to enjoy it, and would be envied by others. However, if he could help the masses, he would not need help from his party members, and he would also be able to accumulate good fortune for his children and grandchildren.
Chen Youcheng and I have no grudges, and it is a fate that we are here together. Chen Youcheng is willing to share your surplus with me, help me with my shortage, and send a piece of life and wealth outside the country, so that it can be seen by your children and grandchildren in the coming year."
After hearing what Li Tai said, Chen Yuankang couldn't help but feel dumbfounded for a moment. He originally came to persuade Li Tai to surrender in the name of the crown prince Gao Cheng, but he didn't expect that Li Tai would in turn persuade him to be the protector of his relatives who were left behind. Moreover, these words
What he said seemed to make sense.
But he still said sternly: "I beg your pardon to disagree with what the general said! It is a blessing from above, and it is a great blessing. How can you use it for yourself and show it to the public? Yuan Kang is not talented. He can only do it for the sake of the country's plan to defeat the enemy, let alone have any wisdom.
Just to earn a living, to gain favor and sell favors outside the country!"
Li Tai was not angry when he heard this, but laughed loudly and said: "Chen Youcheng is really admirable and admirable. It is for this reason that I am eager to form this gentleman's alliance with you.
Hulu Jinzhi ordered the old slave to join the famous king by chance, and he achieved today's achievements. He was good at using troops to rob the bandits, but bad at protecting him. He is already old and has cold blood, and the old animal has injured himself. Now Heyang City is three grams
Secondly, the reason why I am not attacking now is to wait for reinforcements. Once the reinforcements arrive, it will not be difficult to defeat them.
At this critical moment, Chen Youcheng was not afraid of danger and walked into the enemy's city. He expressed his feelings and acted with reason, which made me ashamed of my loyalty and filial piety and unable to continue. All the battles I have experienced since my eastward journey will not be defeated by the famous generals of your country.
Our military front is now restrained by Chen Youcheng. The power of one person is greater than the tens of thousands of troops in Heyang. It is truly a song to express!"
Although Li Tai has no plans to further attack Heyang at the moment, compared with the Eastern Wei Dynasty, which is suffering from internal and external problems, the initiative lies with his own side after all.
Therefore, he was willing to stop at the last moment and no longer personally responsible for launching the attack on Heyang Beicheng, which definitely gave Gao Cheng a great face. If even this could not dispel his desire to retaliate against his family,
So even if Li Tai surrenders and returns eastward, there will never be any better results.
He blindly belittled Hu Lujin and exaggerated Chen Yuankang's role in this. Naturally, he wanted to strengthen Chen Yuankang's right to speak on the matter and give him a credit for relieving the crisis in Heyang, so that he could use it as a
A reason to protect your family.
Chen Yuankang had a delicate mind, so of course he understood the profound meaning of Li Tai's words. Although the mission given to him by the Crown Prince was to persuade and recruit people to surrender, it was obvious that Li Tai had no intention of surrendering.
Under such circumstances, resorting to the next best thing and using alienation methods to force the Western Dynasty to change its commander-in-chief before the battle can obviously greatly alleviate the crisis and chaos in Heyang. This is of course also a very important contribution to Chen Yuankang, and
You can also use this to establish a friendship with the Li family in Longxi.
As for Li Tai's talk of depositing his vitality and wealth outside the country, Chen Yuankang didn't take it seriously. Although he also admitted that Li Tai was young and successful and had a bright future, the Kansai regime where he resided had little prospects.
, it will inevitably limit personal development. If you want to make great progress in the coming year, you will definitely need greater breakthroughs.
After the two parties reached this tacit agreement, Chen Yuankang no longer stayed for a long time and immediately stood up to leave. According to his mother's instructions, Li Tai wanted to keep his second brother Li Zhongju by his side. As for his cousin Li Qianzhi, he still returned with Chen Yuankang.
.
After sending Chen Yuankang away, Li Taidang returned to the city and drafted a letter of resignation to the Taifu government in person. The reason why he met with Chen Yuankang and his entourage without avoiding suspicion was that in addition to caring about the Guandong family, he also wanted to use this opportunity to avoid suspicion and evacuate.
Heyang front line. As for who the Taiwan government will hand over this stall to, that is not his decision.
