A knife in love

Chapter 3538

Songshan Yilu said this, glanced at Li Qiufeng, paused for a moment, and then continued: "After becoming the patriarch of the Songshan family, the old man has been living in seclusion in the mountains, like a wild crane in the clouds, and his life is so uncomfortable. Interfering with worldly affairs. Only 24 years ago, the old patriarch of the Matsuda family died of a sudden illness. Before his death, he did not designate the next generation of patriarch. In order to compete for the position of patriarch, several sons of the Matsuda family fought each other with their own troops, and they were about to fight. Hearing the news, the court officials and the big names from all over the world were overjoyed, and sent many spies to sneak into the territory of the Songtian family, inciting several young masters to raise troops to snatch the throne of the patriarch. The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind. If several sons fight, the great cause of the Songtian family will be ruined. Seeing that the wife of the old patriarch of the Songtian family is in danger of extinction, she personally came to the secluded place of the Songshan family and begged the old man Come out to help. The old man couldn't bear to see the Songtian family's hundreds of years of foundation destroyed, so he agreed to Madam's request and led the people out of the mountain to help Madam quell the civil strife in the Songtian family."

Li Qiufeng listened to Songshan Yilu briefly mentioning the matter of quelling the civil strife in the Songtian family, and thought to himself that several sons were vying for the position of patriarch, and they had soldiers and horses in their hands. This internal strife is no small matter.This old guy doesn't know what kind of conspiracy and tricks he used to prevent this battle from being fought, which is really admirable.

When Li Qiufeng was thinking about it, he only heard Songshan Yilu go on to say: "After the young masters stopped fighting, the old man saw that the crisis had been resolved, and was planning to lead the people back to the mountains. Madam begged the old man to stay and help the Songtian family to tide over the difficulties. At that time, although the sons no longer fought against each other, they still did not give up on the position of patriarch, and hidden dangers still existed. Madam thought that a person who could convince all the sons, retainers, and officials to be the patriarch was necessary to keep Matsuda The power of the family will not be in danger of extinction. Although the old man does not want to participate in the dispute over the inheritance of the Songtian family, the Songshan family and the Songtian family have always been on good terms. It can be said that all generations of in-laws are prosperous and both are prosperous. The Songtian family is facing difficulties. Naturally, the Songshan family can't just sit idly by. Missing this place, the old man had to stay and discuss with his wife, princes, retainers and others day and night. Everyone agrees that although the youngest son of the old patriarch is young, he is smart and wise, and is quite worthy of his father. Feng, if he becomes the patriarch, he will definitely be able to lead the Songtian family to attack the city and conquer the territory in the future, and achieve a great cause, so everyone voted for the young son to inherit the great cause and become the patriarch of the Songtian family."

Songshan Yilu said this, pondered for a moment, and then continued: "Since the Songtian family has elected a new patriarch, it stands to reason that the old man should return to the hermitage of the Songshan family. It's just that my wife and the sons and retainers of the Songtian family think that Although the patriarch Xinli is clever and clever, he is still young after all, so he has to be escorted by the old man to be at ease. The old man refused repeatedly, but his wife and the other princes repeatedly asked him to stay in Songtian's house to assist the government. He was helpless. Under the circumstances, the old man had no choice but to reluctantly stay and assist the young master in handling government affairs. Over the years, the old man has worked hard and managed to live up to the ancestors of the Songshan family and the Songtian family, and helped the Songtian family to overcome difficulties. Although the Songtian family did not go south in a large scale these years However, the northern part of Fusang Kingdom has been completely owned by the Matsuda family, and they have also occupied the inexhaustible cornucopia of Matsuda Rock Island, which is considered a small income."

Li Qiufeng listened to Songshan Yilu's words, his heart was clear, and he thought to himself that if this old guy talked in front of me, I probably wouldn't suspect that he had other plans, and I would admire him very much.It's just that during this trip to Fusang, I had nothing to do in the big boat and read many books, among which there is a record about Huo Guangli's young master, which is somewhat similar to this old guy.In the past, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was seriously ill. Knowing that the time would not be long, he wanted to make his son Liu Fuling the crown prince, but Liu Fuling was only a seven-year-old boy, unable to govern at all. It is impossible to make a big mess.Therefore, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty thought again and again, and issued an edict to make Liu Fuling the crown prince. At the same time, he promoted the general Huo Guang, the chariot general Jin Rixun, the left general Shangguan Jie, and the censor Sang Hongyang as auxiliary ministers to assist the government together.Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty chose Huo Guang and others to assist the prince. The design was extremely ingenious, allowing these four people to constrain each other and restrain each other, which can not only subdue the ministers, but any one of them cannot monopolize the government. Although Huo Guang and others are ambitious people, But he didn't dare to have the slightest disagreement.After the death of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the prince Liu Fuling came to the throne, that is, Emperor Han Zhao.Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty trusted Huo Guang the most among several auxiliary ministers, making Huo Guang's status surpass that of Jin Ridun, Shangguan Jie and Sang Hongyang.Jin Rixun was a Hun, and he was highly valued by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Taking into account his own status, he was always cautious, and did not dare to have the slightest intention of plotting anything wrong.He believed that Huo Guang must be reused, so he married Huo Guang and married Huo Guang.Even though he was also an auxiliary minister, Jin Ridun never dared to stand side by side with Huo Guang in the court, so Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty trusted Huo Guang, and Jin Ridun was not dissatisfied in the slightest.

However, Shangguan Jie and Sang Hongyang were extremely dissatisfied with Huo Guang, thinking that they were both auxiliary ministers and could never tolerate Huo Guang being above them.The two colluded secretly, repeatedly made things difficult for Huo Guang, and often sneered at Huo Guang in the court, which was very rude.It's just that Huo Guangcheng's mansion is very deep, he tolerated in every possible way, and refused to turn against the two of them.Shangguan Jie and Sang Hongyang were still unwilling to see that Huo Guang refused to accept the offer, and secretly ordered the courtiers to write a letter to slander Huo Guang, saying that he had always had different ambitions and might have an attempt to usurp the throne.The two originally thought that if Huo Guang was given such a big hat, the emperor would be furious, and maybe Huo Guang would be exterminated immediately. Unexpectedly, Emperor Han Zhao relied heavily on Huo Guang and didn't believe the rumors at all. The minister killed him and ordered a strict investigation into the matter.Shangguan Jie and Sang Hongyang were shocked when they heard the news, knowing that if this matter was leaked, not only would they lose their official positions, but they might also be in danger of their wealth and life.Both of them are ruthless and merciless people, they will never stand still and plan to rebel and kill Huo Guang.Unexpectedly, before they could do anything, the news leaked out. Emperor Han Zhao was furious and ordered Huo Guang to deal with the case.Huo Guang knew that Shangguan Jie and Sang Hongyang regarded him as a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh, and wanted to get rid of him quickly. Naturally, he would not be merciful, and sent troops to arrest and kill people in the capital, and finally caught Shangguan Jie and Sang Hongyang then killed the two of them, their families and accomplices.From then on, Huo Guang monopolized the power with unparalleled prestige.
