Chapter 362 Father and Son
"Li Langjun finished chatting with the county magistrate?"

"Well, General Liu Bai is switching defenses?"

"Yes, what is this? It smells so good."

"Snake soup, will Liu Bai eat it?"

"Can I eat it?!"

"Of course you can."

"Great! Thank you Li Langjun!"

"You're welcome, just leave the plate, I'll pick it up tomorrow...By the way, what does Liu Bai think of my skills?"

"Of course there is nothing to say..."

Li Zhaocheng was quite satisfied after hearing Liu Jinsuo's praise.

Looking back, when his family was in trouble, he was adopted by Li Yong. At first, he always felt that he should do something under the fence, so he often went to the kitchen to help.

Later, Li Yong told him not to cook, but to study hard, but Li Zhaocheng really liked cooking.

Along the way, he was thinking about which dish to make tomorrow, and when he returned home, he saw Li Yong still waiting in the hall.

"Father, I have met my second brother."

"What can you see?"

"It is confirmed that he is suffering from soul-loss disease."

Li Yong asked: "Why assert?"

Li Zhaocheng said without hesitation: "Because there is only one possibility. Father thinks about it, is it possible that he can still deny this son?"

~~
Li Xia thought he would be very busy when he returned to Qingfu County.

More than [-] people have to move from Syria to resettle, open up wasteland and expand the city; Qingfu Army needs to expand and reorganize; Weining is building a city, and needs contact support...

Busy is indeed busy, but after a few days, he found that it was not as expected.

Fang Yankai and Li Yong are fully capable of governing a county. After accepting Li Xia's plan, many things can be handled in an orderly manner.The father and son of the Han family are also talented, and they are more and more handy in doing things.

Although Li Xia was not idle, she had no excuse to avoid Li Yong.

He is not an avoidant character, he still meets Li Yong.

"Recently, I have chatted with brother Zhaocheng a few times, and I feel that there may be some misunderstanding between us." Li Xia was quite frank, and said, "I don't want to give you false hopes and be disappointed in the end. Let's be honest, I didn't gain or lose. Soul disease. It is indeed not your son."

Li Yong looked directly at Li Xia, not avoiding his gaze, but avoiding the topic.

"Zhaocheng is nineteen this year, and you haven't got a character yet, but you already have... Feiyu." Li Yong shook his head and said, "I wanted to get the word 'Chengyu' when you were crowned, but I missed it."

"Feiyu is pretty good too. The name and characters are just code names."

Li Xia tapped on the table lightly, pondered, and said, "Before we went to Dali, there were some things we didn't discuss clearly. I heard that you did a lot when I came back this time...Thank you."

Li Yong waved his hand and said, "It's nothing more than a little effort."

The two were awkwardly silent for a long time.

Li Xia didn't have much to talk about, and finally asked, "What are your plans for the matter between the Li family and Zhao Yu?"

"Do you remember this?"

"I don't remember, I found it. But there are still some specific inside stories I don't know yet." Li Xia said, "Although I am not your son, if you trust me, you can tell me clearly and do your best to help you."

Li Yong leaned back in his chair and asked, "Why do you want to ask these questions now?"

Li Xia said calmly: "My idea of ​​solving the problem is different from yours. You think of taking advantage of Wu Qian's power, but I think that in this troubled world, military power is king. You should be safe and sound if you stay in Qingfu."

"Then why are you asking again today?"

"I don't know what to talk about."

Li Yong thought about it, but he didn't hide anything, he just spoke up.

"Big sister did let Huang Dingxi take abortion pills back then, which nearly killed Zhao Yu. Who would have thought that Zhao Yu would become the heir of the emperor, and the Li family would also be in great trouble. Until five years ago, another case occurred in Lin'an City...you Do you remember 'Wei Zi Yao Huang'?"

Li Xia shook her head and said, "I don't remember."

Li Yongdao: "The elder sister of the official family, Si Junzi, married Wei Jun and gave birth to a son named 'Wei Guansun'. Mrs. Cixian loved this grandson very much. One day, she chatted with the official family in the palace and wanted to meet him. grandson.

However, when people with foreign surnames enter the harem, they must hang a waist badge, and only the children of the clan are exempt.The officials thought it was cumbersome, so they named Wei Guansun "Zhao Mengguan" on the occasion, and called the son of the official family to enter the palace to face the saint.

Not long after the incident, there were rumors of "Prince Wei" and "Wei Ziyao Huang" in Lin'an, which means that "Wei Zi" was born noble, and his birth mother was the princess. "Yao Huang" alludes to Zhao Yu, whose biological mother, Huang, was born as a slave, saying that the official family intends to pass it on to her nephew. "

At the end of Li Yong's words, he added: "Just when the rumors were in full swing, Wei Guansun drowned in the Yaopu pond in Zhao Yurui's residence."

Li Xia frowned.

He has been to the Rongwang Mansion, and he has also passed by the Yao Garden.

At that time in Lin'an, if it wasn't for his vigilance and luck, he might have become a dead bone under the lotus pond.

Li Yong said again: "At that time, Wu Qian was the right chancellor. When he heard about this major case, he was shocked and begged the officials to investigate thoroughly. In the end, the officials only concluded that the child Wei Guansun jumped into the pool and drowned in a mischievous manner, and closed the case hastily.

But Wu Qian has found out that on the day Wei Guansun drowned, he and Zhao Yu were swimming in the lotus pond.No matter who is the mastermind, Zhao Yu must know that the heir of a country's emperor is not only mentally handicapped, but also so cruel that Wu Qian decided not to allow him to inherit the throne.

Zhao Yu was sheltered by the officials, so Wu Qian had no choice but to investigate and find me, asking me to testify that Zhao Yu was not the biological child of Zhao Yurui.This matter... I had already declined.After that, Wu Qian resigned from the prime minister, and nothing happened. "

Li Xia asked, "What about after that?"

"It wasn't until April last year, when you beat Sun Tianji to death and went to jail, that I realized that the loyal party was also investigating me, and disaster was imminent and inevitable.

I have resigned from office for many years, and no one can protect me.I had no choice but to burn the house down, get away with feigning death, contact Wu Qian's people, and agree to his request, on the condition that he will protect you well...including saving you from prison. "

Li Xia was silent for a moment, and asked, "Isn't Zhao Yu your son?"

Li Yong shook his head and said, "There is no personal relationship between me and Huang Dingxi."

"Then why did Wu Qian ask you to testify?"

"Huang Dingxi used to be my personal maid for a while, and then...became the eldest sister's dowry maid."

"Is there another possibility?" Li Xia said: "Huang Dingxi is pregnant with the child of a member of the Li family. Zhao Yurui wanted to drug this child, but it was born anyway. Zhao Yurui looked at the official's family The princes died one after another, and they wanted to let Zhao Yu take the throne, so they silenced the Li family."

Li Yong shook his head again, and said: "Uncle has always been careful in his work, if so, he would never dare to let Huang Dingxi marry as a dowry. Besides, if Zhao Yu was not Zhao Yurui's biological son, how dare Zhao Yurui do such a bad thing to the Zhao family?"

"What are you going to do next?"

"Wu Qian's heart is very firm." Li Yong said: "He once said that if there is another fatuous emperor like Qinzong, the consequences will be far worse than Jingkang's disaster. Zhao Yu... is farther away than Qinzong."

Li Xia didn't quite understand what stupid things Song Qinzong did during the Jingkang Incident, so he couldn't feel the deep fear in Wu Qian's words.

Li Yong patted his knees, with a dazed expression on his face, and said: "I have Wu Qian to protect me and survive, and this matter cannot be avoided. He is already seeking to regain his phase, and when that time... entrusted by others, he will die." matter."

Li Xia said: "I was not saved by Wu Qian."

"You are in Lin'an, and you have been greatly favored by Mr. Mengchuang, haven't you?"

"You know?"

Li Yong nodded and sighed: "You and I have received favors from others, and we must repay them; we must also repay the blood feud of my uncle's family. Zhao Yurui and his son forced me to come here, and the only way is to fight back."

Li Xia said: "If you go, you will definitely die."

Li Yong hesitated for a moment, and said: "I can probably guess what you are going to do now. I will do my best to help Wu Qian as much as I can before he recovers. In the future, take care of your elder brother and aunt... Regardless of whether you are my son or not, you must be able to do it."

"Maybe when the time comes, you don't necessarily need to do that."

Li Yong said: "If you are willing to listen to my advice, I will also say that what you have done is really not right."

"What did you see?"

"I don't know how far you are going to go, but how can I not see it if you use national power to support private soldiers?"

"It is clear?"

Li Yong said: "You and I were persecuted by Zhao's clan. Fang Yankai and others didn't know about it. They only thought that you aspired to be Shu Shuai, but I knew about it."

With a probing tone, he asked again: "Do you want to support yourself and bring down Zhao Xuan?"

Li Xia didn't answer.

Li Yong asked, "Do you know Wu Xi?"

"I don't know."

"Seven of the famous anti-gold generals in the Gaozong Dynasty were posthumously crowned kings, Qi Wang Han Shizhong, Fu Wang Liu Guangshi, Xun Wang Zhang Jun, Hubei King Yuefei, He Wang Yang Yizhong, Fu Wang Wu Jie, and Xin Wang Wu Lin.

Among them, Wu Jie and Wu Lin are brothers, and they manage Heshangyuan, Raofengguan, Xianrenguan and other places, defeating the Jin army repeatedly, defending Qinlong and Bashu.

The grandson of Wu Lin is Wu Xi, who was the deputy envoy of Xuanfu in Sichuan, and concurrently served as the envoy of Shaanxi and Hedong.In the third year of Kaixi, Wu Xi proclaimed himself King of Shu, rebelled against Song and surrendered to Jin, and ceded the four prefectures of Jie, Cheng, He, and Feng to the Kingdom of Jin, with Tieshan as the border.

Only 41 days after becoming king, Wu Xi was killed by the army.The third generation of the Wu family made meritorious service in the western frontier for 80 years.Moreover, the imperial court became more and more distrustful of the leading generals in Sichuan and Shaanxi, and they were held hostage by many parties. "

"So today's officials don't trust Yu Jie at all? Fear that Yu Jie will follow in Wu Xi's footsteps?"

Li Yong said: "It's not just Yu Jie who doesn't trust him. Even if it is Pu Zezhi who is in Sichuan and Shu, the imperial court may not trust him."

"Pu Shuai?"

"As the commander-in-chief of Shu, if there is any trouble, he will be relegated. Pu Zezhi cannot be your backer. There will never be any private soldiers in Shu."

Li Yong said, his expression became more and more pessimistic, and he sighed: "In the future, you will be condemned and escape to Dali. Don't you want to marry a Dali woman?"
