Obviously, she did not understand the meaning of Li Chengqian's words.
Isn't Yin Hongzhi a minister of the imperial court?
Li Chengqian shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Yin Hongzhi and the Li family have a blood feud."
"A bloody feud?"
Yuan Yuan was even more puzzled.
Li Chengqian was not stingy and started to tell them one by one.
Speaking of Yin Hongzhi, we have to talk about the love and hatred between the Yin family and the Li family.
Let’s not talk about the Li family for now, we have already talked about it before.
Here we mainly talk about the Yin family.
The Yin family has always been a powerful and powerful family.
We must carefully trace the root cause.
The rise of the Yin family can probably be traced back to the Northern Wei Dynasty hundreds of years ago.
Since the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Yin family has been a famous family.
Later, Yin Hongzhi's grandfather Yin Shou joined Yang Jian's army.
During his tenure, he led the Yin family to expand territory for Yang Jian and put down the rebellion.
After Yang Jian gained control of the world, he was granted the title of Duke of Zhao, the Shangzhu Kingdom of the Sui Dynasty, making the Yin family extremely popular.
When Yin Hongzhi's father Yin Shishi arrived, although his family was slightly deserted compared to his ancestors.
But Yin Shishi himself is still the royal family's only favorite minister.
When he was weak, Yin Shishi was granted the title of Hussar General. When Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty came to the throne, he was worshiped as the Grand Administrator of Zhangye.
He first personally led the troops to resist repeated invasions by Tuyuhun and Dangxiang Qiang.
During the Liaodong Campaign, he stayed behind in Zhuo County to eliminate bandits and ensure the safety of the logistics line.
Afterwards, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty gave him the title of Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and the rank of General Zuo Yiwei.
When Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty visited the east, he was assigned to stay in Xijing to assist the acting king Yang You.
And the hatred between the Yin family and the Li family started because of this...
Li Chengqian slowly narrated: "At that time, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty asked Yin Shishi to stay behind as one of the reasons."
"What's more important is to let him keep an eye on the influential Li family in the Longyou area."
"At that time, my grandfather was guarding Taiyuan to prevent the Turks from the Northern Desert from moving south." >
"It was at this time that the imperial court issued a decree."
"Instruct my uncle, my father, and my third uncle to go to Chang'an to accept the official position of Yin Feng."
Speaking of this, Li Chengqian laughed.
"Although he is Yin Feng in name."
"But everyone can see that he clearly asked my grandfather to send his three most powerful sons as hostages."
"At that time, anti-Sui teams rose up in large numbers."
"Wars are also raging in the Central Plains, and peasant rebels from all over the country are attacking the foundation of the imperial court one after another."
"My father advised my grandfather to raise an army and respond, but my grandfather refused many times in the face of foreign enemies."
"But in order not to be suspected by the court, my grandfather still sent my uncle Li Jiancheng and my fifth uncle Li Zhiyun to Chang'an."
"But no one expected that just half a month later, the Northern Desert Turks would suddenly move south."
Li Chengqian looked forward with deep eyes and said, "My grandfather lost that battle."
"Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was furious and directly ordered the arrest of my grandfather and the prefect Wang Rengong."
"When my father saw that things were going badly, he immediately left for Longyou to recruit troops and be prepared to rebel at any time."
"But not long after, Emperor Sui Yang sent his envoy Chiyi to pardon my grandfather and Wang Rengong."
"But after experiencing this accident, my grandfather's heart was already cold. At the same time, he also had a rift with the court and began to secretly plan."
Li Chengqian turned to look at Yuan Yuan and said, "Do you know what happened after that?"
Yuan Yuan nodded noncommittally: "The next step is the familiar Jinyang Army."
"Yes, but also no."
Li Chengqian shook his head and smiled: "What kind of person is my grandfather? How could he raise an army against the Sui Dynasty just because a few palace maids slept in the palace?"
"He could have killed all those who knew the inside story."
"After that, who knows what he did?
What?"
Li Chengqian took a long breath and said: "The world only knows one thing, but they don't know the truth about Jinyang's uprising at all."
"Then what happened before Jinyang raised troops?"
Yuan Yuan tilted her head and asked, "Could it be that this is where the hatred between the Yin family and the Li family comes from?" .??.
"Um."
Li Chengqian nodded.
"Actually, when my grandfather was secretly planning."
"My uncle Li Jiancheng, who was in Chang'an City, had a premonition that something big was about to happen."
"So I immediately took my fifth uncle and fled back to Taiyuan."
"But on the way, we were intercepted by the Yinshi Master."
"My uncle was brave, able to fight his way out of the siege, and luckily escaped. However, my fifth uncle was young and unfortunately was arrested by the Yin Shishi."
"Master Yinshi ignored my grandfather's negotiations and pleas and immediately took him to the streets of Chang'an City and beheaded him, hoping to scare the heroes of Longyou."
Li Chengqian suddenly clenched his fist: "That year, my fifth uncle was only fourteen years old..."
He couldn't imagine whether Yin Shishi's IQ was high or low.
Using one person's life to frighten the crowd will often have the opposite effect.
Especially at this critical moment, offending Li Yuan with blood debt.
Isn’t this clear enough to force Li Yuan to rebel?
When Li Yuan learned that his son was dead, he was furious. He personally led 30,000 soldiers to swear an oath, and then divided his troops into two groups and went straight to Chang'an City.
This is the whole process of Jinyang's army.
It was also the beginning of the blood debt between the Li family and the Yin family.
"At that time, the three sons of the Li family were more capable of fighting than the other."
"My uncle Jiancheng is good at planning, my father Shimin is good at shooting, and my third uncle Yuanji is good at close combat."
"Whenever we attack a city, the three brothers must take the lead."
"In less than half a month, we crossed the Wei River and approached Chang'an."
"Master Yinshi is dizzy with anxiety."
When he said this, Li Chengqian's eyes also flashed with a little fire. "In order to suppress the morale of our Li Group."
"He directly asked people to dig up the ancestral graves of our Li family..."
Li Chengqian clenched his fists involuntarily: "But again, using this method to shock a person will often have the opposite effect."
"Later facts also confirmed this statement."
"If we say at the beginning, the hatred was only for our eldest son, the Li family."
"So after the Li family's ancestral graves were dug up, the entire Li family group has already had a blood feud with the imperial court."
"Li Shentong, Li Xiaogong, Li Daozong, Chai Shao, Duan Lun and a series of people related to the Li family have joined the battle with their relatives."
"Under such circumstances, Chang'an City was in turmoil, but it was captured in less than half a month."
"After my grandfather entered the city, the first order he issued was to capture the Yinshi Master and kill his three relatives!"
Li Chengqian raised the corners of his mouth and said with a sinister look: "Master Yin Shi's two decisions caused the death of hundreds of relatives."
"But in the end, my grandpa Huang still softened his heart."
"Let Master Yin Shi's youngest son Yin Hongzhi and young daughter Yin Yue'e go."
"After my grandfather became the emperor, he gave Yin Yue'e to my father who had made great achievements in the war. She became his concubine and gave birth to my fifth brother Li You the following year."
"On the eve of the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Yin Hongzhi was awarded the title of King Qin's Horse Wash."
"Because of his meritorious service in exposing Prince Yin's conspiracy to build the Kunming Pool, and because Yin Yue'e was favored by the concubine Yin, Li Shimin immediately appointed him as the Minister of Civil Affairs after he became emperor."
"After the Battle of Bei Mo, Yin Hongzhi ascended to the position of Yushi Zhongcheng. He was so honored and favored that many nobles began to interact with him."
"In the court, even my uncle Changsun Wuji has to be afraid of him."
Li Chengqian looked up to the sky and exhaled a long breath: "I thought he forgot, he changed."
"But now it seems."
"I'm afraid he has never forgotten it."
"From the beginning, he has been planning to overturn the world and destroy the Tang Dynasty..."
