From An Zhai's words, Hu Xiaotian had already seen that he and Xue Zhenhai had completely different views on Shangguan Tianhuo and his son. He secretly thought that he was someone to win over. After a hundred years of development, the Beggar Gang has now been reduced to a north-south division. In fact
has become the lowest moment in the history of the Beggar Gang. The reason is related to the emergence of traitors within the Beggar Gang, and it is also closely related to the unfavorable transition between the old and new members of the Beggar Gang. Looking inside the Beggar Gang, those in power are still a group of old people.
There are no outstanding leaders emerging from the younger generation. Such a large gang cannot guarantee its continued power by relying on only one or two people. This is true for the world, and it is also true for temples.
The crisis of the Beggar Clan cannot be fundamentally solved by relying only on these old people. It is necessary to support some new forces. People like Zhu Ba, Meng Guangxiong, Xie Tianqiong, and An Zhai are the future hopes of the Beggar Clan, and only they can all become independent.
Only then can the Beggar Gang complete the transition from the old to the old and return to glory. Only then can a powerful Beggar Gang be able to give itself the greatest help. From this point of view, the Beggar Gang relies on Hu Xiaotian far more than Hu Xiaotian does on the Beggar.
Gang, at least so far, the help Hu Xiaotian has given to Beggar Gang far exceeds what Beggar Gang has done for him.
Although Xue Zhenhai, a veteran of the Beggar Clan, has received a lot of kindness from Hu Xiaotian, deep down in his heart he is still careful to draw a clear line with him and try to avoid getting involved in political battles. This is obviously selfish.
An Zhai understood the situation very clearly. If the Beggar Gang wants to reunify, it cannot do without Hu Xiaotian's help. It is never possible to truly sever the relationship between the world and the temple. The hope of the Beggar Gang's revival lies in Hu Xiaotian. Hu Xiaotian is right.
Wrong, if you want to solve the split of the Beggar Clan, you must destroy the foundation of the split. It is not as simple as killing Shangguan Tianhuo and his son, but eradicating the instigators behind it.
The Duke of Jing, Li Mingfu, stood quietly in the ancestral hall. He heard the light footsteps behind him, and without turning around, he already recognized that the person was Li Chenzhou. His eyebrows were furrowed. The expression on his face looked a little gloomy.
Li Chenzhou shook off the snowflakes on his body outside the ancestral hall door, then rubbed the soles of his shoes on the cotton mat outside the door, and then carefully stepped across the threshold.
The candles in the ancestral hall were dim and the smoke was lingering. There must be a very important reason why the uncle called him to the ancestral hall on such a windy and snowy night.
Li Chenzhou looked at his uncle's slightly hunched back, and couldn't help but lament that his uncle was getting old too. His uncle inherited the position of Duke of Jing from his grandfather, but he didn't have his grandfather's ability. After his grandfather passed away, his uncle had been carefully serving the court and acting as Li.
As the guardian of the family, he did live up to his grandfather's expectations and did this well. Seeing his uncle, Li Chenzhou couldn't help but think of his father. Back then, his father left his hometown incognito and shouldered the mission to go to Dakang, and went through a lot of hardships.
He had just reached the position of Grand Master of Dakang, but he had made too many sacrifices for Dakang's father, and even his own brothers had sacrificed their lives.
Thinking of his half-brother Wen Boyuan, Li Chenzhou felt heartache. Pisces Jade Pendant was finally reunited, but he and his brother never got to know each other.
Li Mingfu's cough interrupted Li Chenzhou's thoughts and brought him back to reality. Li Chenzhou said respectfully: "Uncle!"
Li Mingfu did not respond, but said solemnly: "Place incense for your grandpa!"
Li Chenzhou nodded respectfully, walked forward, lit the incense, and knelt down in front of his grandfather's memorial tablet. Next to his grandfather's memorial tablet was his father's memorial tablet. Before Li Chenzhou saw Wen Boyuan's body, and before he saw the Pisces jade pendant, he always
He thought his father was dead long ago, but it was at that moment that he realized that his father was always alive. The Li family was a loyal man. He dedicated himself to Dayong and died. Grandpa never had the chance to meet his father until his death.
Li Chenzhou didn't know if his uncle knew the inside story. He thought that his uncle might not know. The most important thing in his heart was Dayong, and then the Li family.
After Li Chenzhou knelt down, he respectfully inserted the incense into the incense burner. He wanted to get up, but heard Li Mingfu say: "Kneel down!" Although his voice was not very harsh, it was full of irresistible power. Li Chenzhou had been raised by him since he was a child.
Li Mingfu is not only his uncle, but also bears the responsibility of his father. It can be said that Li Chenzhou's achievements today are largely due to his uncle, who loves him even more than his own children.
Li Mingfu looked at the memorial tablet of his father Li Xuangan and said: "My Li family is full of loyal and loyal people. We have been highly valued by the emperors of Dayong and have been kind to three generations. Your grandfather has made great contributions to the rise and prosperity of Dayong. The late emperor felt his merits.
He was granted the title of Duke of Jingguo. After his death, the late emperor granted him the title of hereditary duke. The court's kindness to our Li family will never be fully repaid."
Li Chenzhou said: "Chen Zhou understands!"
Li Mingfu shook his head and said, "If you understand why you would do such a thing?"
Li Chenzhou said: "Chen Zhou doesn't understand what uncle is referring to?"
A wry smile appeared on Li Mingfu's lips and he said: "Among the descendants of the Li family, you are the well-deserved number one in terms of intelligence and martial arts. My uncle has no ability. The only thing he can do is to be loyal to the court and protect the Li family.
You children have raised me up, and I am naturally stupid and cannot take on the important task of shining the lintel of the Li family." He cast his eyes on his brother's memorial tablet and said: "If your father is alive, he may have this ability."
Li Mingfu's words made Li Chenzhou more and more convinced that he didn't know anything about it, but his father was still alive and well, but he had changed his identity. Now he had become Dakang Taishi Wen Chenghuan. Thinking of his father's contribution, Li Chenzhou felt a wave of pain in his heart.
Sad, what did my father gain from leaving his hometown for decades? Since my grandfather passed away, the power of the Li family has been greatly reduced. The uncle only has a false name but no real power.
Li Mingfu said: "We, the Li family, must never let the court down under any circumstances!"
Li Chenzhou said: "Uncle, Chenzhou doesn't understand what you mean."
Li Mingfu nodded and said: "Forget it, since you are pretending to be confused with me, I might as well make it clear to you. The emperor's assassination has passed. Why did you cause such a big disturbance?"
"In order to thoroughly investigate the murderer, eliminate hidden dangers, and prevent the same thing from happening again." Li Chenzhou answered without hesitation.
Li Mingfu said: "All thirteen murderers have been caught, nine of them are dead, and the surviving three no longer pose a threat, and they have no mastermind at all."
Li Chenzhou said: "Just because they don't want to say it doesn't necessarily mean they don't have it!"
Li Mingfu said: "Why do you want to continue to ferment this matter? More than 300 people have been implicated. Do you think you have done it perfectly? Do you think you can hide it from the eyes of all the courtiers?"
Li Chenzhou said loudly: "Chen Zhou is loyal to the emperor. It is a lesson from heaven. If this matter had not been personally instructed by the emperor, Shen Zhou would not have dared to do this!" He thought to himself, what must his uncle have heard? He doubted his own motives.
This was the real reason why he recruited Xue Ye to the ancestral hall.
Li Mingfu said: "I know my son better than my father. Although I am not your father, I have raised you since you were a child. I can see a little bit of what you are thinking." He stared at Li Chenzhou with a pair of deep eyes, trying to pry into it.
Break his heart.
Li Chenzhou did not show any panic or anxiety, his expression did not change at all, Wuwei and Li Mingfu looked at each other.
Li Mingfu said: "After the emperor ascended the throne, he showed great favor to you and trusted you far more than other ministers. I left the court just because I didn't want others to say that our Li family is monopolistic. I thought you would assist the emperor to stabilize the domestic situation and let Dayong rule.
You got out of the slump in the shortest possible time and led your subjects to get back on their feet, but what did you do? What ideas did you give the emperor?" At this point, Li Mingfu suddenly became excited. He pointed at Li Chenzhou's nose and shouted: "
Were you behind the turmoil in the Bohai Kingdom? You want to use the Jubaozhai incident to kill two birds with one stone and remove King Yan and the eldest princess, right?"
Li Chenzhou said nothing because he knew that his uncle had not finished speaking. Even though his uncle was not the most outstanding person in the Li family, the political understanding of the Li family was still far beyond that of ordinary people. There were some things that he could hide from other ministers.
But uncle.
Li Mingfu said: "Even if King Yan is greedy for money, and even if the eldest princess violates the rules and interferes in the government affairs, the two of them are not worthy of death. They were the ones who established the emperor as the throne in the first place. Why do you propose to remove them in front of the emperor?"
Li Chenzhou shook his head: "Chen Zhou has never done this."
Li Mingfu nodded and said: "If you don't admit it, I'll pretend that you haven't done it. It was the emperor's own idea. But now that the emperor's foundation is not stable, why don't you advise him to stop fighting in the court and be eager to eradicate the royal clan?
Not only will it chill the royal family, but it will also make the ministers panic. What benefit will this have to Dayong's court? The Black Hu people's army is still outside the pass. To fight against the outside world, we must first pacify the inside. You are known as a talented person who knows the world, how can you even do this?
Don’t you understand simple truths?”
Li Chenzhou said: "Uncle insists on saying that these things are related to me, and Shen Zhou can't help it, but you probably don't know that King Yan has used Jubaozhai to deplete the treasury over the years, and how much money from Dayong has quietly flowed into his pocket.
Do you think King Yan is just greedy for money? Do you know who the late emperor was most taboo on back then?"
Li Mingfu said: "Even if he is ambitious, he has already given Jubaozhai to the emperor. Now he is far away from the court and has no power at all. Do you have to put him to death before you are willing to do it?"
Li Chenzhou looked at his uncle quietly and said, "Uncle, did Empress Dowager Chiang tell you these things?"
Li Mingfu did not admit or deny it. He said sincerely: "The reason why Dakang is in its current situation is because of the continuous civil strife in the royal family. It was not easy for Dayong to surpass Dakang and become the overlord of the Central Plains. If he wants to maintain his status as the overlord, he must develop based on it.
, unite internally instead of being busy with intrigues and eradicating dissidents early on!"
