A cup of tea and a whole life behind the curtain.
The moon is late and people are idle, and eternal love and hatred come into my dreams.
...
Liu Quansheng was very obedient to barbaric growth, and he had always paid close attention to Liu Yi's studies. Today, for the first time, he devoted all his resources to teaching Liu Yi.
"When the late emperor was here, the family was relatively peaceful at first. Although it was already strong, it was still in disarray. When Emperor Shenwu dies and the new emperor succeeds, things will become interesting!"
Liu Quansheng looked back on the past and had a profound aftertaste. As one of the few surviving participants of those events, he was immersed in the scene and said softly, "Back then, the second prince was born suddenly, and the family automatically divided into two factions, surrounding the eldest prince and the second prince. They fought openly and secretly with each other for the position of crown prince. They all wanted to make a contribution to the dragon and take their family further. At that time, it was really a fight between gods and gods. When people talk about this period of history, they generally refer to that period as 'two sons seizing the throne'. "
"'Two sons seize the legitimate sons'? Why haven't I heard of it?" Liu Yi asked curiously.
Liu Quansheng raised his head and looked at the moon, sighing with emotion, "The emperor's secrets are royal secrets, who dares to say more?"
Liu Yi chuckled and did not answer.
Liu Quansheng said calmly, "More than ten years ago, the two aristocratic families gathered almost half of the world's soldiers and horses to fight in Chang'an, Gyeonggi Province. In the end, the family that supported the eldest prince's faction outsmarted Liuzhou Long, where the second prince's mother was. The Zhang family in Nanbadu was overthrown and the whole clan was wiped out. The party of the two princes fell apart. Some died and some fled. The struggle for the throne is over. This incident is known in history as the 'Sky Demon Case'."
Liu Yi asked curiously, "Since this is a battle in Kyoto, why is it called the 'Sky Demon Case'?"
A white mist appeared in Liu Quansheng's clear eyes, and he said in an extremely gentle voice, "My child, when the day comes when you become an extremely human minister, maybe you will know why." 33
Liu Yi continued to ask, "Does it mean that if you become a white body, you don't need to know?"
Liu Quansheng's voice suddenly turned cold, "If you are white, then you don't need to know."
Liu Yi pouted.
Liu Quansheng turned around and smiled, "Let's talk about something far away, let's talk about something closer. Ever since the Grand Prince's Party became the dominant family, the families that originally supported the Grand Prince have dispersed and started fighting dogs for their own interests."
Liu Yi said softly, "It is human nature to pursue fame and fortune."
Liu Quansheng said softly, "Hmm", drank by himself, and continued, "Today, the most famous families include the Quzhou Gang led by the Quzhou Jiang family, the Liuzhou Alliance composed of the four major families of Gu, Lu, Zhang and Zhu, and the four major families of Gongke, Moqing, etc. Of course, there is also a loose alliance composed of eight declining aristocratic families in Quzhou, such as the Huan, Xie, Xun, and Wang families. Those who cling to the royal family, such as the Fan family of Zhangwu, the Le family of Cangshui, Families such as the Lychee Liu family, the Laiyi Guo family, the Dunhuang Li family, the Xie family, the Lu family, the Ran family, the Huan family, and the Xun family surrounding the Empress Dowager and the Empress, as well as the Sun family of Sun Jiang, which formed its own sect, The Zhou family of Si Feng, the Yuchi family of Xian Deng, etc., after all calculations, there are only more than thirty people with great ability! These families have minions all over the place, either supporting their own troops, occupying key points, or serving as political parties. , how difficult it is for our emperor to be the emperor can be seen just from the number of family members."
Liu Yi was shocked when he heard Liu Quansheng's words.
Liu Quansheng narrowed his eyes and looked at Liu Yi, "The aristocratic families among them overlap with each other, are intertwined with each other, are connected with each other and are hostile to each other. The network of relationships that can't be explained clearly cannot be explained by the words "do things in detail". !”
This was the first time that Liu Yi heard someone systematically describe the distribution and current situation of the world's aristocratic families. After listening, Liu Yi was dumbfounded and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
It seems that His Majesty really chose the worst piece of stewed beef for himself, but even with such a piece of worst stewed beef, it was still so difficult to chew.
The troubles of the family are deep-rooted, and once they are removed, they will hurt themselves sevenfold!
Seeing that Liu Yi was silent, Liu Quansheng turned his head and looked out the window. The moonlight was shining on the branches. Sai Red Rabbit was lying unscrupulously in the stable and sleeping soundly. Two pastoral dogs were lying on Sai Red Rabbit's belly. From time to time, he could hear a few snores. .
How wonderful it would be if the world could be as peaceful as Zigui's school!
The night was silent with thoughts, and Liu Quansheng began to speak earnestly again, "Yi'er, you have just taken the first step towards Pingtian's great cause. If you want to ride the long wind and break thousands of miles of waves, this first step must be solid. My son! Do you really think that you have taken the first step? Is it so easy to form an army?"
Liu Yi's mind turned around, he looked at the edict in his hand, thought about it carefully, then looked at Liu Quansheng with a silly smile, disdainful in his heart, but said verbally, "Dad, after you said this, this edict seems to be a piece of paper." ah!"
Liu Quansheng nodded and said helplessly, "Yes, your Majesty only gave you the organizational structure and food and grass. However, the generals, soldiers and horses, equipment, land reclamation, and money and silver all need to be prepared by my son. As for you, can you prepare it? How far it goes is up to my son."
"Isn't your Majesty afraid that the Pingtian Army will become a private army in the future?" Liu Yi asked, suspicious.
"Don't be afraid!" Liu Quansheng's eyes were deep and firm, "Because this army is supported by you... and your father is behind it, haha! Don't forget, my son, that your father is your Majesty's biggest supporter."
Liu Yi realized what he was feeling, and immediately acted shamelessly, grinning and saying, "Huh? Since Dad is behind the Pingtian Army, shouldn't it be Dad who is helping him with the preparations?"
"You kid, when did you learn to beat the enemy with a rake! Fang Yi, Miao Yiming, Zhou Fu, and this edict, dad has already helped you enough!"
Liu Quansheng's eyes were soft and he said warmly, "Have you ever seen an eagle that will always rest next to your parents? You must learn to fly out on your own and soar into the sky."
"Hey!" Liu Yi smiled ruthlessly, grabbed Liu Quansheng's sleeve, and said sweetly, "Today, my father will see you!"
Liu Quansheng touched Liu Yi's forehead with his backhand, sighed with emotion, and said sadly, "Teacher, you have learned all the bad temper of the street people!"
"Hehehehe! What's wrong? Wasn't my great ancestor once a gangster in the market?" Liu Yi pestered Liu Quansheng, "Dad, tell me, after the founding of the army, what is the next step for Pingtian? "
Liu Quansheng reacted very quickly and immediately asked, "How does my son want to go?"
"Put your own bowl in hand and do your own thing! Mom passed away early and dad refused to help, so what can I do?" Liu Yi pretended to be aggrieved, still thinking about Liu Quan's emotional help.
"Haha! The trick of going up to the house and taking out the ladder is a trick your father often played when he was young. You should stop playing it in front of him." Liu Quansheng patted Liu Yi's forehead, "Yier, tell me your story first. I plan to help my father as a consultant."
"If you go up to fight with your enemies and attack with your troops, it's better not to use soldiers!" Liu Yi chuckled and said, "Old Zhao Yao is a man of his word. I'm going to Xuanhuai County now. Will bow his head. On the way home, I will give the Huang family, who have always been honest, a beating. In this way, Huaxing County will be settled."
Liu Yi talked about his idea, and seeing that Liu Quansheng agreed very much, he continued, "At this time, the Pingtian Army is completed, and the general will send troops to move troops and occupy key positions to prevent unexpected events."
"An accident?" Liu Quansheng's eyes narrowed. "What accident? Whose accident?"
"Don't ask questions knowingly." Liu Yi's voice turned low, with a sense of determination, "The best plan is for the five counties to succeed in Pingtian. The worst plan is for Jiang Feng to lead his troops north to stop Pingtian's great cause. If Hirata's army fights with him, it will be a dead end."
"Haha, my son, this doesn't mean that the fish is dead and the net is broken, this is called the overwhelming force of the mountain, no, it's the mantis trying to use its arms as a chariot!"
Liu Quansheng smiled and shook his head helplessly, saying, "The Jiang family has two dogs, two wolves, an eagle, and a snake. Although the Liu family in Lingyuan was eradicated by your father and me, there are still one dog, two wolves, one eagle, and one snake." Snake, Jiang Feng is a human owl general. The head of the Jiang family, Jiang Xingze, who is by his side, is known as "Little Zhuge". Huanyuefu and Ji Lefeng are all masters. There is also a snake that I still don't know what it is. When I meet When they unite, your chicken-like Hirata army has almost no power to fight back, and it just disintegrates in an instant."
"Dad!" Liu Yi yelled, "Although Chu Ba was a powerful man, he was defeated by the Wu River and committed suicide; although the King of Han was weak, he actually had thousands of miles of empire. Why do you want to embolden other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige!"
"Of course not. Dad just wants to tell you that you need to be patient before the time comes." Liu Yi stroked Liu Yi's back and whispered softly, "Dad will never do anything that you are not sure of. There is no father in the world. I will let my children die in vain. Five years, five years from now, my son's Pingtian Army will definitely compete with Jiang Feng for supremacy in Quzhou. Dad is putting the words here today. In five years, I will keep my promise and bet on a sugar haws. Anything? Hahaha .”
Maybe Liu Yi was a little confused at this time due to the fatigue of traveling and traveling, and seemed to have misunderstood the meaning of Liu Quansheng's words. He was frightened at this moment and asked hurriedly, "Dad, after Jiang Feng is pacified, you, you, you want to make yourself king? This is not possible. Ah dad, look at it..."
Liu Quansheng stared wide-eyed at Liu Yi's one-man show. The more he watched, the more funny he became, so he simply cooperated with Liu Yi and nodded in agreement. It wasn't until Liu Yi's mouth went dry that he felt that he was being teased by his father and was speechless.
Seeing his son being silly, Liu Quansheng laughed loudly and kicked Xia Qing, who was snoring. Xia Qing turned over and still snored.
Liu Quansheng took a sip of warm tea and said with a smile, "If your father and I wanted to make plans for the country, why would we go to such great lengths? With the relationship between me and His Majesty back then, it would not be a problem to be crowned King of Lingyuan."
After admitting that he had misunderstood his father, Liu Yi tested him in a low voice. "Dad, what's next? Us?"
"Let's settle down for a while and sort out what we have gained this time. Scholars who have entered the country cannot be obtained by traveling thousands of miles. They need to continue to accumulate and comprehend until they realize their own truth. Although the world does not judge heroes by their realm, but this After all, realm is something you need to protect yourself, and you still have to have it." Liu Quansheng yawned, and then said, "By the way, think about it again, how on earth should you build the Pingtian Army? Lingyuan and even Huaxing County are yours. How will the place be managed in the future?"
"What should I do?" Liu Yi continued to ask.
Liu Quan was angry and calmed down, "Check and photograph outside, with the four words "tidy and serious", and keep it inside, with the four words "the master is not suitable". That's all!"
"What about Jiang Feng?" Liu Yi seemed to understand, but asked again.
"Let him go! People in the world are determined. There are many people who can accompany the family to sing and sing every night and exploit the countryside. However, there are fewer and fewer people who are willing to risk their lives to accompany the family." Liu Quansheng rubbed his head and said with a smile, "Since ancient times, conspiracies have never been as good as conspiracy. Your Majesty is an expert in weighing up conspiracy. As soon as the "Five Grain Civil Order" comes out, if the world's families don't move, their roots will be cut off. If they move, they will be accused of treason, hehe! If you are not a sage, you are a beast."
"How to handle myself?"
"Hold the fortified city!"
"Good! The Pingtian Army plus Uncle Deng's Huaxing Armed Forces, as well as the Xuanjia Guards who have always been good at guarding, can defend a Lingyuan City. It will not be a problem." Liu Yi understood at once, his eyes were shining, "When the time comes, I will be waiting for Jiang A thorn in the flesh, if he dares to continue going north to surrender to Da Qin, we will work with Bozhou to ambush him on all sides."
"My son is smart!" Liu Quansheng looked admiring and added, "Also! Yi'er, send Buddha to the West. Although you got back the harp worm, do you know how the harp worm works?"
"Son, I don't know!" Liu Yi scratched his head in embarrassment.
"How long has it been since you last studied?" Liu Quansheng looked at Liu Yi intently.
"Returning to my father, I brought in candles late at night and reflected on the writing. My son is never tired." Liu Yi answered seriously.
"Okay!" Liu Quansheng pointed to the bookshelf not far away, "Old Zhao Yao, finish reading these before his birthday!"
"Ah!" Liu Yi looked at the stacked bookshelves with a surprised look on his face, but he agreed.
"Dad, at the beginning, you had clearly promised Yi'er to stay in the South Tower forever, but why did you change your mind and ask Yi'er to become an official?" Liu Yi planned to ask the last question.
"What do you mean I want you to become an official? Isn't it your own wish?" Liu Quansheng laughed, "Turn off the lights and go to bed!"
"From the beginning, I have been led by my father! Hey, in the past, Zhou Gong washed his hair three times and vomited food three times after one meal. It seems that from now on, I will also be polite to the corporal! Human relations in the past are very troublesome. My parents are old. Go, we should strengthen ourselves!" Liu Yi pursed his lips, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
"Brother, I'm not stupid!" In her dream, Xia Qing talked in her sleep.
Some people died, but not completely...
