Li Hongbi was satisfied.
Getting ready to go back and catch up on some sleep.
Li Jinglong spent the whole night last night.
He also spent the whole night last night.
It was not until the sweet potato seeds were planted in the greenhouse that I finally felt at ease.
But just as he was about to catch up on his sleep, the concierge suddenly informed him that Xu Qin was here.
Hearing this, Li Hongbi slapped his forehead, smiled helplessly and shook his head.
Yes, I can't rest, I can only work for a while.
Li Jinglong was immediately surprised when he heard the name "Xu Qin".
"Son, why did you get involved with Xu Qin?"
Li Hongbi glanced at the old dude in surprise and said, "What? Is there any problem?"
Li Jinglong's expression became strange, and after hesitating for a moment, he spoke.
"If you can avoid involving Duke Wei's family, you'd better try not to involve them."
"This matter is not as simple as you think!"
As soon as these words came out, Li Hongbi's heart suddenly trembled.
"Tell me quickly, what's going on?"
Li Jinglong sighed after hearing this.
"After His Majesty the Emperor entered Jinling, all the civil and military officials in Jinling City who were willing to surrender surrendered. Those who were unwilling to surrender either committed suicide or took advantage of the chaos to escape from Jinling City."
"Only Xu Huizu knelt in front of the tomb of his father, General Xu Da, and refused to greet His Majesty the Emperor. He was arrested and imprisoned by the Yan Army officers for interrogation."
"His Majesty the Emperor personally summoned Xu Huizu to inquire and give him face-to-face instructions. He hoped that Xu Huizu could take the lead in supporting him to ascend the throne and proclaim himself the emperor. After all, the prestige of King Xu Da of Zhongshan is far beyond ordinary honors. Moreover, His Majesty grew up with Xu Huizu when he was young. They are said to be as close as brothers. It is not an exaggeration at all, the two parties are related by marriage, so everyone feels that Xu Huizu will definitely not disobey His Majesty."
"However, Xu Huizu did just that. He said nothing, looked at him coldly, and never supported His Majesty in proclaiming himself emperor. Those minions wanted to force him, so Xu Huizu wrote a sentence: "The descendants of King Zhongshan who founded the country are exempt from death." His Majesty the Emperor was so angry that he wanted to kill him on the spot."
"After that, His Majesty ordered Xu Huizu to return to his private residence, stripped him of his salary and title, and imprisoned him to this day. Everyone in the Duke of Wei also suffered along with him!"
After hearing this, Li Hongbi couldn't help but praise: "You are truly a righteous man!"
Li Jinglong: "???"
What?
What's going on?
My son, do you have a problem with your stance?
"Ahem, son, you can't get involved blindly!"
"Don't worry!" Li Hongbi smiled helplessly, "I know this well."
"After all, this old Xu family is the descendant of King Xu Da of Zhongshan, and is also the natal family of the Queen. No matter how harshly His Majesty the Emperor criticizes, he won't really let them starve to death, right?"
"I just brought little Xu Qin to the palace, and in the name of visiting the queen's condition, I mentioned it again."
To be honest, Li Hongbi still had a good impression of the Duke of Wei.
After all, what passionate man wouldn’t admire and respect famous generals like Xu Dana!
Xu Da had many achievements in his life, one of which was the recovery of the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun!
After Shi Jingtang, the founding emperor of the later Jin Dynasty, rebelled against the Tang Dynasty and became independent, he ceded the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to the Khitan, which expanded the territory of the Liao Kingdom to the Great Wall. Several dynasties in the Central Plains were not able to completely regain this strategic area, and the Yanyun Ten The strategic significance of the six states made the Northern Song Dynasty regime in the Central Plains feel threatened for more than 160 years!
Until Xu Da was born, it took just over a year to capture most of the Mongolian and Yuan capitals. At this point, the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun was taken back by the Han regime, ending hundreds of years of iron-heeled rule by the northern nomadic regime!
For this reason alone, Li Hongbi couldn't just watch Xu Da's descendants suffer!
Since I can help, I still want to help.
Soon Li Hongbi came to the front hall. As soon as Xiao Xu Qin saw him, he immediately bowed and saluted.
Seeing this, Li Hongbi smiled, then took his hand, got into the carriage together, and headed straight to the palace.
Inside the carriage, Xu Qin was a little restless.
"how?"
"Aren't you used to sitting?"
Li Hongbi asked with a pleasant smile.
Xu Qin nodded subconsciously. In fact, he kept his head lowered and was extremely shy.
"Little Xu Qin, what kind of person do you want to be in the future?"
In order to ease the awkward atmosphere, Li Hongbi took the initiative to speak and brought up a topic.
Xu Qin was startled when he heard this, subconsciously looked up at Li Hongbi, and then shook his head.
"I...I don't know..."
"My father didn't let me practice martial arts or learn the art of war."
"He said that my old Xu family... will never touch the military power again in this life!"
As soon as these words came out, Li Hongbi was stunned and felt a lot of discomfort in his heart.
Xu Huizu, the eldest son of Zhongshan King Xu Da.
There are actually two people who truly inherited the mantle of General Xu Da.
One is called Zhu Di, and the other is Xu Huizu!
The reason why Xu Huizu is not famous in history is because he met Zhu Yunwen, a stupid monarch!
When the Dog Emperor rebelled against Jingnan, Zhu Yunwen thought that the Xu family was unreliable because of the in-law relationship between the Duke of Wei and Zhu Di. He was suspicious of Xu Huizu and abandoned them. Instead, he reused the old dandy Li Jinglong.
In the end, Li Jinglong's two defeats completely ruined the main elite of the Jianwen Dynasty, and the offensive and defensive momentum was completely reversed.
Zhu Yunwen was forced to have no choice but to activate Xu Huizu and give him a partial force to go to the battlefield.
On the contrary, this partial division led by Xu Huizu, a remnant army composed mainly of the old, weak, sick and disabled, repeatedly caused big trouble to the Yan army going south, and for a time the Yan army did not dare to act rashly.
As a result, at this time, Zhu Yunwen began to act like a monster again. He believed the slander of the "Jianwen Three Idiots" and felt that he was good again. Yan Jun was no more than that. He could win even if he sent a dog over, so he forcibly recalled Xu Huizu. He conquered the capital and cut off other people's military power.
Then the Yan army marched straight in, bypassing the last main force of the Southern Army stationed in Huai'an, making a surprise attack on Yangzhou, breaking through the Yangtze River defense line, and marching directly towards the imperial capital of Jinling!
Even when Zhu Di was about to break through the imperial capital of Jinling and everyone had given up on Zhu Yunwen and was preparing to establish a new emperor, only Xu Huizu was still leading the troops to fight. Even if Zhu Di entered the city, he would rather die than surrender.
Zhu Yunwen, a scholar-emperor who knows nothing about people, plus a Jianwen court who talks about military affairs on paper, how can he be undefeated?
Li Jinglong, who he thought was loyal, stabbed him in the back decisively at the last moment, became a leader and stabbed him severely.
He thought Xu Huizu had evil intentions, but at the last moment he fought tooth and nail to be loyal to him. Even now, he has not bowed his head to the Dog Emperor and would rather be stripped of his rank and imprisoned!
It's sad, ridiculous, and ironic to the extreme.
It's no wonder that Xu Huizu would be disappointed with Lao Zhu's family.
No one can tolerate such disgusting things!
Li Hongbi reached out and touched little Xu Qin's head, and said warmly: "If you are willing, come to the Imperial College tomorrow and become my disciple, okay?"
Hearing this, Xu Qin suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with tears.
Because of his father's insistence, the Duke of Wei's palace suffered a great disaster. Those so-called relatives and friends in the past all shunned him, let alone lend a helping hand to them. Some people even took advantage of him!
However, the Prince Hongbi in front of him was willing to reach out to him at this moment, and he was even willing to accept him as his disciple!
Only when the world is cold and cold can we know the warmth and coldness of people's hearts.
Xu Qin knelt down on the ground with tears streaming down his face and kowtowed respectfully to Li Hongbi.
"Disciple Xu Qin, pay homage to my mentor!"
Li Hongbi smiled and helped him up.
"good!"
"If the disciple has something to do, the teacher will do his best!"
"Even if I break the sky today, as my teacher, I will still complain to the Duke of Wei!"
The descendants of Zhongshan King Xu Da should not suffer like this.
A loyal and brave person like Xu Huizu should not end in despair because of this.
When Tie Xuan died, Li Hongbi couldn't do anything, and he didn't dare to do anything.
But now, the situation is different. I have two trump cards in my hand. Why are I afraid that you are just a dog emperor?
