If a history traveler who is very familiar with the late Tang and Five Dynasties travels back to this era, he will be very surprised to find that the historical celebrity Li Keyong's disease broke out three years earlier. Unfortunately, although Li Chengzhong was a time traveler, he
He could almost be labeled as historically illiterate, so he didn't have much understanding at all about Li Keyong's consecutive fainting spells.
Jin King Li Keyong's continuous faintings were caused by two things. First, he had old eye injuries from his early battles, which were given by King Liang; second, the two adopted sons suddenly had the idea of reliance.
This is also due to the King of Liang. No one can heal from old wounds accumulated over many years and an angry temper.
Therefore, when Li Cunxu arrived in Jinzhou in a hurry, the King of Jin was already dying.
Li Kening, Zhang Chengye and a few others were standing in front of King Jin's bed. King Jin had so many adopted sons during his lifetime, but none of them were around at the moment. As for the brothers Li Cunmei, Li Cunba, the second son of the Li family, and Li Cunba, the third son, they were all still young.
He had been in Jinyang but had not arrived at the battlefield in Jinzhou. Therefore, at this moment, in the bedroom of the King of Jin, it seemed so desolate that Li Cunxu could not help but have a seizure.
Zhang Chengye winked at Li Cunxu from the side, and Li Cunxu managed to suppress his anger and politely stepped forward to kowtow and say hello.
King Jin turned slightly sideways and reluctantly put a cushion on the pillow while being served by the maid. He looked at Li Cunxu with one eye half-opened and half-closed. The other eye was covered with white silk, and a line of yellow-red pus dripped down from time to time.
Li Cunxu suddenly felt sad, and his eyes immediately turned red.
King Jin chuckled on the bed: "Yazi is back, just come back! Those white-eyed wolves who don't have enough to eat, when the time comes, they have to be their own children to be reliable! Any adopted son, they are all
Fake……"
Li Cunxu didn't understand why. Hearing these words, he spoke in a bad tone. He raised his head to look for his uncle Li Kening. Li Kening shook his head. Then he looked at the supervisor Zhang Chengye, who sighed softly.
King Jin narrowed his eyes and asked again: "Where is An Shi? Has he come back?"
Li Cunxu said: "I caught a cold on the road, and I was afraid that it would spread to my father, so I didn't dare to come to see him. It will take about a day or two to get better." Guo Chongtao's body and bones were not as good as those of Li Cunxu. Although the freezing in early spring was thawing, the chill did not subside. During the acute period along the way,
But it was cold.
King Jin hummed and said: "An Shi is a thousand-mile horse, and he has been suppressed by Gu for a long time. It's not that Gu doesn't want to use him, but Gu wants to leave you with someone who can use him..."
These words revealed his old age. Li Cunxu couldn't help being shocked and said: "Father..."
King Jin waved his hand: "Gu knows about Gu's illness. Needless to say, Gu won't be able to endure it for too long, but Gu will definitely be able to hold on until you personally bring the heads of those traitorous sons to Gu! What sense of justice is that?
Sons, they are all ungrateful things! You should not accept any of them, you must not accept them! You made a mistake back then, Gu thought you were filial, and Jun Li's death was all Gu's fault. In fact, they are all the same, they should all be killed.
!They all should be killed!..."
As Prince Jin spoke, his voice gradually became lower and he slowly fell asleep. The maid helped Prince Jin lie down again, and then everyone gently exited the dormitory.
As soon as he came out, Li Cunxu grabbed Li Kening and Zhang Chengye and kept asking: "Uncle, Supervisor, what is going on?"
The two sighed in unison and explained to Li Cunxu in detail.
Like Lu Long, many messengers came from Hedong. The purpose of the messengers was very simple, which was to promise Li Sizhao, Li Siyuan, Zhou Dewei and others to be crowned kings, and to invite them to participate in the Eastern Metropolis League on April 1st. The handling methods of the three people were similar to that of Lu
There was not much difference on Long's side, and he immediately reported the matter to the King of Jin. Among them, Li Sizhao and Zhou Dewei were beheaded by the envoys, while Li Siyuan was directly relieved by the envoys, without taking the matter seriously at all.
It stands to reason that Xuanwu's alienation plan against Hedong ended in failure. Unfortunately, the King of Jin was not the King of Yan, and the Hedong Army was not the Lulong Army. The subsequent evolution of events was beyond everyone's imagination.
As early as during the reign of Emperor Xizong, when Li Keyong was still young, his father Li Guochang attacked Dangxiang and was attacked by the Tuyuhun people. After receiving the news, Li Keyong immediately led his troops from his hometown Yunzhou to respond, but
When they came back, they found that Yunzhou was closed tightly and they were betrayed by the people of Yunzhou.
In the first year of Guangming Dynasty, Li Keyong resisted the enemy in the Xiongwu Army, but was betrayed by his uncle. As a last resort, he had to go into exile in Dattar.
In the fourth year of Zhonghe, Li Keyong personally led the cavalry to rescue Zhu Quanzhong. After the victory, Zhu Quanzhong hosted a banquet for Li Keyong. As everyone knew, Li Keyong suffered another shameful betrayal.
In the first year of Jingfu, the adopted son Li Cunxiao rebelled in Xingzhou. No matter who was right or wrong, the damage to Li Keyong was huge. General Kang Junli even died innocently because of this. This incident caused Hedong to lose two immortals.
The talented general made Li Keyong unable to catch his breath for many years.
In the fourth year of Qianning, Liu Rengong declared that he was not at odds with Hedong. Li Keyong, who single-handedly helped Liu Rengong ascend to the throne of Lulong Jiedushi, became furious and sent troops to attack Youzhou. As a result, he was defeated in Ansai.
The above are all casual stories about betrayal. Li Keyong, who has experienced so many betrayals, has developed the habit of being suspicious. After knowing that Li Sizhao, Li Siyuan and Zhou Dewei had received the promise of Liang Wang to establish a country, Li Keyong
He became very suspicious, so he ordered three generals to attack Jiangzhou to test his mind.
Unfortunately, Li Sizhao, Li Siyuan and Zhou Dewei all thought that the King of Jin was really going to attack Jiangzhou, so they wrote in defense, saying that the winter snow had not yet melted, making it difficult to attack the city, and asked for a delay before proceeding. The three of them did not know that this was a test, and they unanimously refused to send troops.
, so King Jin became more suspicious, and he asked, how long should it be delayed?
The three of them said that it would be at least after spring, and it would probably be April anyway. So Li Keyong sneered, you bunch of traitors, do you want to go to Dongdu to participate in the alliance?
This kind of thing, once the estrangement arises, is not so easy to resolve. In order to protect themselves, the three people immediately gathered their soldiers and horses around them to wait and see the situation - no one wanted to die inexplicably like Li Cunxiao and Kang Junli back then.
Under the knife. When the King of Jin convened an emergency military meeting for the first time, the three of them refused with the same excuse. The King of Jin fainted in anger on the spot.
Later, under the guidance of Zhang Chengye and Li Kening, the King of Jin realized his problem, so he sincerely wanted to summon the Hedong generals to have an open heart talk, but this time it was even worse. Except for Li Sizhao, Li Siyuan and Zhou Dewei were not there.
Besides, the other adopted sons did not dare to come. There were rumors in the army that King Jin wanted to regain military power!
This time, King Jin's syncope caused eye problems, and he finally became ill.
After Li Cunxu heard the whole story, he realized that the current situation in Hedong was so difficult. He asked, "Is it possible for a certain editor to discuss it with the Taibao family in detail and ask them to return to Jinzhou?"
Li Kening and Zhang Chengye both shook their heads, but still said they could give it a try and treat the dead horse as a live doctor.
Li Cunxu's letter obviously had no effect. The eunuchs responded politely, but they said that their "father" was not in a normal state and they really did not dare to come back. They could only wait for his "father" to get better. They knew clearly.
After a while, I will go back to Jinzhou to apologize.
Such an answer undoubtedly disappointed and depressed Li Cunxu. He understood that his father's prestige and reputation in the military still existed, and these people did not dare to openly rebel at this time, but once his father really passed away, no matter what
Neither his uncle Li Kening nor himself are enough to make people surrender. Hedong will inevitably be divided by then, and the world-famous Hedong Army will really perish.
The only solution now is to pray to God to open his eyes so that my father's eye disease will get better soon!
It's a pity that Li Cunxu didn't know that there is a Murphy's law in later generations: if there is a possibility that things will go bad, no matter how small the possibility is, it will always happen.
On the night of March 15th, Li Cunxu was urgently summoned to the Jin King's dormitory. Also summoned at the same time were Li Kening, Zhang Chengye, Meng Zhixiang, Guo Chongtao and others.
Prince Jin's expression was even more haggard, and could almost be described as dying. Under the dim candlelight, everyone had a bad premonition.
The King of Jin pointed at Li Cunxu and said, among Gu's sons, Yazi is the oldest and the most promising, but unfortunately he is still too young and lacks prestige. Originally, Gu wanted to wait a few more years until Yazi grew up.
Having experienced many things in the army, I can build up the strength of the army. Unfortunately, Gu's destiny has come, and he can't wait any longer, so he can only leave this mess to Yazi.
He said to Li Kening, from now on, I will entrust Yazi to you, and I hope you will help him well. If this son is useless, you don't have to be polite, just ask him to let him go.
Li Kening knelt down and knelt, crying profusely.
The King of Jin said to Zhang Chengye again, "Zhang Jianjun, you have been by Gu's side for almost twenty years. In view of Gu's kindness towards you, please bear with Yazi. If there is anything wrong with you, please tolerate it."
.If Yazi does something bad, he must be severely reprimanded and he will not be allowed to make mistakes.
Zhang Chengye's eyes were red and he was choked and speechless.
He said to his niece-in-law Meng Zhixiang, from now on, you will be the envoy of the Zhongmen and the Marquis of Yu, and please assist Yazi well and help him control the army.
The King of Jin also said to Guo Chongtao, I admire your talent very much. Let Yazi consider your official position. Please treat him like your own son and nephew from now on, so that he can become the real lord of Hedong.
.
Finally, the King of Jin told Li Cunxu that after Gu was gone, he could lead his army back to Jinyang. If things went wrong, he could ask the King of Yan for help.
Amid the whimpering, Li Keyong, a great hero of the generation, passed away in Jinzhou at the age of 49.
Li Cunxu, who was only 20 years old, was promoted to the throne of the Jin Dynasty. He told Li Kening, who was now the most prestigious in the army, that his nephew was young and did not know how to govern. Although his father had ordered him to do so, he was afraid that he would not be able to hold a big position.
.My uncle has great virtues. My father has entrusted me with government affairs many times. Now my nephew wants to entrust his uncle with the military government. We will wait until my nephew can take charge of the government."
Li Kening said with emotion: "My brother left his life and it belongs to me. Who dares to change it?"
On March 20th, Li Cunxu officially ascended the throne as King of Jin. At the same time, he retreated from Jinyang and wrote a book to ask Lu Long for help.
