Where have you seen it?
Li Yue quickly recalled in his mind that his former servant did not look like this.
Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed in Li Yue's mind. Isn't this his own face?
No, my face is not so weathered, and I don't have this kind of bearing.
Could it be...
Li Yue suddenly thought of a possibility and quickly took the portrait to ask the old people in the village.
"This is Governor Li!" The old people burst into tears, crying uncontrollably.
Li Yue asked his bodyguard to hold the scroll, and he performed the same movements as the portrait, "Look, do I look somewhat similar to Governor Li?"
I was both excited and looking forward to it.
It turns out that the original owner of this body is Li Ju's son.
The fallen leaves have returned to their roots, without any life experience. Subconsciously, I am a piece of floating catkins of this era. I don’t know where it will be blown by the wind. I always feel an inexplicable sense of isolation from this era.
Over the past six months, Li Yue has completely integrated his memory and fully accepted his new identity psychologically.
Several old people opened their cloudy eyes, looking at the portrait for a while and then at Li Yue. They were not sure and said: "They are somewhat similar, but the face is a little thinner, the eyes are a little smaller, the nose is a little bigger, and the mouth is upturned. Some, the ears are a bit square..."
"Old man, are there ears on this portrait?"
The old man came closer and asked, "Yes, why does this portrait have no ears?"
Li Yue was speechless for a while. It had been twenty years since Li Ju refused to defend Xingyang. As these people, they didn't have much contact with them, so they might not remember them.
Originally, the portrait focused more on spirit than form, and the appearance drawn with the brush must be quite distorted from the real person.
Li Yue blasted them away and let Cui Jin judge.
"Seven points similar in spirit, six points similar in appearance!"
At this time, Liang Xiao came to report on military affairs. When he saw the portrait and then looked at Li Yue, he was suddenly stunned, his eyes became confused, and he said without thinking, "Captain Li!"
He was not yelling at the portrait, but at Li Yue.
Liang Xiao was in his thirties and should have met Li Ju when he was a boy.
With his shout, Li Yue knew for sure that this was the case.
Li was born, literate, and served by old servants. He wandered around Xingyang. His surname, age, appearance, and experience all matched.
"It turns out that the general is the son of Governor Li!" Liang Xiao was even more excited than Li Yue.
Li Yue was expecting it at first, but after confirmation, that was all.
There was not much affection between father and son, but twenty years have passed, and time has passed. The tribesmen back then have long since disappeared. I am afraid that not many people on Xuanyuan Mountain remember Li Ju.
This level of identity is actually of little use. It just allows Li Yue to find a sense of belonging.
I'm afraid as soon as the identity of Li Ju's son is revealed, the Jie people will come with a knife...
The southern court was more afraid of the refugee commander than it trusted him.
Even people like Zu Ti, who was heading north from the Yangtze River, were afraid of him, let alone Li Ju.
Li Yue looked at the father he had never met in the portrait, and his mind went up and down. "This matter should not be made public, so as not to be tabooed by others."
"Follow the order!" Liang Xiao cupped his hands, his eyes more eager than before.
Cui Jin was also filled with joy, "It turns out that the general is Queen Zhongliang."
This may sound harsh. Li Ju is a loyal minister, but Li Yue never wants to be a loyal minister and filial son of the Sima family.
Liang Xiaoneng snorted, "Zhongliang? The death of Governor Li back then was inseparable from the imperial court!"
Li Yue was stunned, "Is there some inside story?"
Liang Xiaodao: "Back then, the governor pretended to surrender to Liu Yao and joined forces with the Huns to attack Shisheng in Luoyang. Guo Mo sent out troops without authorization and was defeated by Shi Chong. He did not inform the governor, abandoned his wife and son, and led his troops to run south from Mi County. This led to Li's death. The commander-in-chief's troops were disheartened, and none of his troops were willing to attack Luoyang and surrendered to Shile. Seeing that the situation was over, Commander-in-Chief Li had no choice but to lead his troops south to Jingxiang, but he fell off a cliff in Luyang and died."
He deliberately emphasized the words "falling off a cliff and dying".
Li Yue said: "You mean, Governor Li... it was not an accident that my father fell off the cliff and died?"
Liang Xiao sneered: "How could Captain Li, a veteran of many battles, fall off the cliff easily? Moreover, none of the guards around him fell off the cliff. Only Governor Li fell off the cliff. Isn't it strange... My father Liang Zhi was in the army. middle."
"So, who plotted to kill my father?" Li Yue didn't expect that there were so many secrets involved.
Before Li Ju surrendered, Zhao Liu Yao was definitely a stain in the eyes of the Jiangdong court.
They won't care if you are scheming.
"My father never said anything, and he didn't mention anyone until his death."
"who?"
"Zhongshu ordered Yu Liang."
Yu Liang was so famous that he had always been quite prejudiced against the refugee commanders from the north and south. He was the one who forced the Su Jun and Zu Yue rebellions.
Although Su Jun was unruly at that time, he only wanted officials and money, and had no objection. He also made great efforts to put down the Wangdun Rebellion. As soon as Yu Liang came to power, he would seize his military power without caring about anything. Su Jun also tried several times He sent people to plead for mercy, but they were all turned away by Yu Liang...
Zu Yue resisted Shihu in Shouchun, but Yu Liang not only refused to support him, but also built a wall behind to block Zu Yue and the important town of Shouchun.
In addition, he later led troops to kill Guo Mo who surrendered...
It was as if all the refugee commanders had a grudge against him.
Cui Jin thought for a while and then said: "Yu Liang was well-known when he was young. He was compared to Xiahou Xuan and Chen Qun. He was a lonely and important minister for Emperor Ming of Jin Dynasty. However, after he came into power, he excluded dissidents, punished severely, excluded Tao Kan, and was good at When he killed the clan, Governor Li defected to Jingzhou Governor Tao Kan, and became more powerful than a tiger, so he was naturally not tolerated by Yu Liang..."
Jiangdong's bad debt sounds really tiring.
There is another famous allusion about Yu Liang ostracizing Tao Kan. Su Jun and Zu Yue rebelled, and Jiankang was in danger. The army of the Three Wus wanted to rescue, but Yu Liang refused. Tao Kan wanted to send troops to rescue, but Yu Liang wrote: I am worried about the west. Frontier (Tao Kan) is too far ahead of Liyang (Su Jun), and no single step can cross the Leichi.
This is an allusion to not overstepping the limit.
"Dudu Tao guarded Jingxiang for more than ten years, gathering tens of thousands of elite soldiers and generals for the future Northern Expedition. Unfortunately, it was not a holiday, and before this day came, Hou Yuliang took over Jingxiang, with an army of 100,000, and insisted on stationing troops in the north of the Yangtze River. In Zhu City, Shi Hu personally led 70,000 cavalry to attack, but Yu Liang hid in Shi City and did not dare to cross the river. He sat and watched Zhu City being captured. Generals Mao Bao, Fan Jun and others drowned and died. Six thousand elite soldiers were not spared. Seven thousand families from Jiangbei were taken captive to Hebei... The good situation of the Northern Expedition was in vain." Cui Jin looked sad and angry.
Li Yue also felt sad for a while.
The so-called famous people are good at fighting internally and outside fighting outside. They have many tricks to deal with their own people, and they are unable to deal with the Capricorn people.
The more the conversation continued, the more Li Yue felt sad for the Jiangdong court.
They are unable to regain the mountains and rivers, and they do not allow others to regain them. If anyone has this intention, they will try every means to hold them back and play tricks on them.
After everyone retreated, Li Yue felt uneasy.
Fate is really strange sometimes, and it just created a connection with Li Ju, but Li Yue felt vaguely that the pressure was even greater.
There is no need to think about revenge for the time being. Seven or eight years after Yu Liang's death, the Yu family prospered as officials in Jiangdong. They were one of the top noble families and were intertwined with other noble families.
To be an enemy of the Yu family is to be an enemy of the entire Jiangdong.
unless……
Li Yue looked at the bright moon outside the window and laughed to himself.
