Memoirs of the Heavenly Khan

Chapter 140: Can’t Let Him Go On

Li Shuang looked at Li Shengui in front of him, and the other party's pair of innocent big eyes were also looking at him.

"Why were you driven out of Luoyang?"

Li Shengui sighed.

"That day in the palace, I asked my sworn brother how great he was, and the little emperor suddenly asked, 'How great is he?'"

"I said you're not inferior to me!"

"and then?"

"That little emperor was a real thief. He quickly said, 'Since you're so capable, it would be better to let you quell the rebellion in Hedong.' Then he asked me to do it. When Yuan Yong and his gang heard this, they all said that I should be the one to do it."

"And then you came?"

Li Shengui nodded.

"The main thing is that I don't want to stay in Luoyang anymore!"

"Why?"

Li Shengui looked around and saw that there was no one around. He whispered:

"To be honest, this bed is not comfortable to sleep on!"

After listening to this, Li Shuang understood and wanted to change his taste.

"There are a few Bodhisattvas in the city, they are quite good."

Li Shengui was delighted when he heard this, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he remembered the important matter.

"We'll talk about Bodhisattva Man later. This time, I brought not only a thousand pieces of music, but also half of my family's wealth!"

You definitely didn’t come here for tourism since you have so much property!
"Why do you bring so much money?"

Li Shengui sighed.

"The situation in Luoyang City is becoming increasingly chaotic. Judging from the current situation, the young emperor and his mother will inevitably come to blows sooner or later. I'm in the middle, which is very disadvantageous. If the young emperor wins in the end, I might even have to go to Xiao Yan for help."

Li Shuang was a little surprised when he heard this.

"Do you have connections with Xiao Yan?"

"It's not that there is, it has always been. My wife's brother, Yuan Hao, the King of Beihai, has always had exchanges with the South."

Li Shuang didn't believe that with Li Shengui's ability, he could get such confidential information from Yuan Hao.

"How did you know?"

"I heard what Hu Xuanhui said, and then I caught the adulterer and took the double. In the end, they had to take me."

"..."

Li Shuang couldn't help but sigh that Li Shengui was quite lucky.

"Then why did you bring the money here instead of sending it south?"

"My father told me that it would be best to go to Guanzhong, and if that doesn't work, go south. This time I came here to settle some businesses in Changchun."

"That's unfortunate for you. If you go to Chang'an to start a business now, you'll probably lose everything you put in."

Li Shengui was a little confused.

"Yongzhou has always been quite peaceful. No matter how powerful the bandits are, they can't break through Chang'an City, right?"

"Xiao Baoyin is going to rebel!"

Li Shengui was a little frightened after hearing this.

"He's crazy?"

Li Shengui's reaction surprised Li Shuang a little, but his next words made Li Shuang even more helpless.

"Even if you rebel, he shouldn't rebel!"

"..."

"How did he become the King of Qi? He relied on the grace of the Yuan family, and his wife was the sister of the previous emperor. Is there anything wrong with him rebelling?"

After not seeing each other for a long time, Li Shuang found that Li Shengui's level had improved a lot.

"Qingchen, it's been a long time since we last met. You're becoming smarter and smarter."

Li Shengui touched his head, looking a little shy.

"It's mainly because every time I go to the Fengyi County Lord's Mansion, she always likes to talk to me about these things. As time goes by, I get used to it."

Li Shuang sighed in his heart.

This kind of thing can also improve wisdom and strategy!

"What do you want now?"

"What else can I do? I'll just stay in Anyi for now. At worst, I can buy some property and some land here."

Then, Li Shengui asked:

"Is the rebellion in Hedong not a big deal?"

"That's nothing!"

Li Shengui nodded and prepared to leave. "Qingchen, where are you going?"

"Go and see those Bodhisattva Barbarians!"
-
Luoyang Imperial Palace.

The current emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty sat on his dragon throne, but he did not look happy at all.

"Your Majesty, today's government affairs have concluded here. I will be returning home first!"

"Take care, mother!"

Queen Hu slowly walked out of the hall. Yuan Xu, who was behind her, looked at her and cursed her harshly.

"This whore!"

Whenever Yuan Xu thought of Li Shengui's appearance in front of him, the anger in his heart could not help but rise.

Yuan Ziyou, the Minister of the Court, who was standing aside at this time, heard this and quickly reminded:

"Your Majesty, you can't do this. The Queen Mother has many eyes and ears in the palace."

"so what?"

Although he was very dissatisfied, Yuan Xu still lowered his voice.

"She found excuses to kill and transfer those around me. Am I still the emperor?"

Yuan Ziyou was not as anxious as Yuan Xu.

He was well-versed in history books and naturally knew that this was just a daily routine for the royal family.

As the emperor grew older, he could no longer tolerate the empress dowager's autocracy.

What’s more, Empress Hu is still so authoritarian!

"Your Majesty, remember to be patient!"

"endure?"

Yuan Xu snorted coldly.

"This whore is usually nowhere to be seen, but now that Li Shengui is gone, she's been coming more often. Does she still have me in her heart?"

Yuan Ziyou saw it.

The longer Yuan Ziyou stayed with the little emperor, the more disappointed he became.

This emperor is irritable, narrow-minded, and does things without thinking. He has no hope of being a good ruler!
Unfortunately, he was the emperor, but he was living in such a turbulent time.

"Go tell Li Shuang that if he is truly a loyal minister of the Great Wei, he should kill Li Shengui for me. If he does, I will make him a Duke!"

When Yuan Ziyou heard this, he immediately advised:

"Your Majesty, no!"

"Why not?"

"If Li Shengui dies, the Queen Mother will surely be alerted, which could be detrimental to the situation! Furthermore, Li Shuang's intentions are still unknown, and alerting him would be disastrous."

"What about that?"

"I will go to the Prime Minister to discuss countermeasures!"
-
Prime Minister's House.

The palace's intention was conveyed to the prime minister's residence, and the young emperor and Yuan Yong hit it off.

They all have a consensus.

We can’t let Li Shengui sleep like this anymore!
The Queen Mother now almost obeys his every word.

After letting him stay with the Queen Mother for a few days, Yuan Yong was worried that his position as Prime Minister would be lost.

Li Shengui is gone now, but he will come back one day.

It would be best if he could not come back!
"Ziyou, what do you think we should do?"

Before Yuan Ziyou came here, he already had a plan in mind.

"Now that bandits are everywhere in the world, it's not difficult to get him to leave Luoyang, but it's very difficult not to come back! My nephew thinks it would be best to let him go to the border to lead the troops. That way, the Queen Mother will have nothing to say."

Go to Jing and Xu to resist Southern Liang, or go to Hebei to pacify the Six Garrisons?
Yuan Yong thought for a moment and said:

"Given Li Shengui's current status, whether he goes to Hebei, Xu, or Jing, he will command a large army. If something unexpected happens in Luoyang, it will be detrimental to the court."

Before Yuan Yi fell, Yuan Yong stood on the side of Empress Hu and the young emperor.

But now, he has to choose between Queen Hu and the little emperor, so Yuan Yong will definitely choose the little emperor.

"My nephew wants him to go to Guanzhong to quell the rebellion!"

Yuan Yong's eyes lit up and he said:
"You mean to let him take over Yuan Hao's position?"

"Exactly!"

Yuan Ziyou bowed and said:

"What Xiao Baoyin did in Guanzhong was done out of necessity. However, if he has rebellious intentions, we must be on guard. It would be better to let Li Shengui go."

"That's it!"
