Chapter 1282: Return to Old Luo
Nowadays, some of the arrogant and illegal buildings and decorations in Yebei Palace have been demolished, and it looks much simpler, but the remaining palaces and pavilions still look majestic.
After everyone took their seats in the hall, Li Licheng looked at everyone and sighed and said: "I heard about the disaster in Heyin before, and I couldn't help but reminisce about the past. Although I didn't personally experience this disaster, I heard that my relatives talked about this old incident for a long time, every word with blood and tears. It makes people filled with righteous indignation and unable to calm down. They wish they could kill the Erzhu clan again, crushing their bones and raising ashes to comfort their ancestors!"
At this moment, everyone was still immersed in the bloody scenes before. When they heard what Li Licheng said, they couldn't help but feel a little dazed for a while. After a while, they remembered that when it came to the disaster in Heyin, the Li family in Longxi could also be called It was one of the families that suffered the most heavy losses at that time.
Unlike other famous clans in the world, the Li family in Longxi still had mulberry families in the countryside to hide in. Except for a few of their clan who were officials outside, most of the others settled in Heluo and served as officials in the court. After a disaster, at that time, in Almost all the adult males in Gyeonggi Province were slaughtered, and only a few survived.
Although Li Licheng only used this matter as a reason for the next conversation, when he thought about the tragic situation of the entire Longxi Li family during the Heyin Disaster, he couldn't help but his eyes turned red and his heart surged.
But he quickly controlled his emotions, and then continued to say in a deep voice: "You must know what Gu's life experience is. During the Taihe period of the old Wei Dynasty, Xiaowen's class was designated as a family name, and the imperial family was designated as a county. Gu's great-grandfather Wen Mu Gong It is also related to the planning and customs that have led to the disaster of Heyin mentioned by the punisher. This is the case where Yuan evil Er Zhurong was punished and executed, and my father also contributed to it..."
After hearing this, everyone present's expressions changed slightly. Although everyone is a descendant of a family who relies on the shadow of their fathers and ancestors to live their lives, it must be said that Li Licheng is also among the top leaders. The two things he said alone surpass their ancestors in the court. A lot.
During the Taihe period, the ban determined the levels of county surnames and established a hierarchy of gentry. Li Licheng's great-grandfather Li Chong played a huge role in this. Some famous gentry families in the world still benefited from the prestige resources passed down from generation to generation that they can now enjoy. No one can argue with Li Chong's promotion.
After the Heyin Incident, Er Zhurong became the powerful minister of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Soon after, he suppressed the rebellion in six towns in Hebei. His reputation was at the height of his popularity. Although many families had a blood feud with him, they had nothing to do with Er Zhurong. Li Licheng's father, Li Yu, actively contacted the knights and heroes, and finally assisted Emperor Xiaozhuang to kill Er Zhurong in one fell swoop, avenging the blood revenge of many family members who died in the Heyin Incident.
It can be said that as long as these two deeds are shown, Li Licheng is completely politically correct among the family. No one is embarrassed to glare and argue with him, and most of them are unwilling to antagonize him.
"There is no need to repeat the stories of our ancestors. After all, we need to base ourselves on the present and make our own achievements, so that we can live up to our ancestors and ourselves!"
Speaking of this, Li Licheng said in a deep voice: "The former's life experience was wandering in Kansai. At the age when he could not stand on his own, all he saw was strangers. Fortunately, a few years later, he met the current supreme leader in Kansai. From then on, he has been very good at dealing with people. The talents relied on each other and echoed each other, soaring upward in the world. To this day, fame hangs in the universe, and benevolence and righteousness spread throughout the world. Although I am not talented, I still dance in the sky with my tail. "
When everyone heard this, they were both fascinated and confused. They were full of admiration and curiosity about the great rise of the Supreme Belt Tribe, but they also didn't understand what Li Licheng meant by saying this. Was it just to show off?
"What I said today was inspired by my feelings. If you have any doubts, you may wish to answer me first. You, the leaders of famous families, stand out like a forest. When encountering danger, you should not lose sight of coping strategies, and you should also do your best to achieve success. The road runs smoothly and is not blocked, but now that the east and west are one and the two are compared, why are your achievements not as good as those of the two relatives living in Kansai? "
Li Licheng was still telling the story in a nostalgic way before, but soon his words changed, his heroic attitude was revealed, and he asked unceremoniously why these Guandong aristocrats were so inactive?
He had the courage to go deep into the enemy's nest in his early years, but now he returns to his hometown as a victor and conqueror, and naturally he is even more heroic. When Li Zongkan was about to cause trouble in Heyin before his death, he did not directly refute it, but raised a thought-provoking question. You guys are used to sticking together, but after so many years, why are you not as good as me and today? Is there any big news about the achievements caused by the Supreme in Kansai?
This question can be said to be full of ridicule, and it also made many people in the DPRK frown and look angry. However, the bloody scene of rolling heads just now is still very vivid in their minds and has not faded. They were also all for a while. Dare to be angry but dare not speak.
"Today's execution of the Li family in Zhao County is indeed shocking and outrageous. However, if one knew the crimes he committed, would anyone with any sense in the world dare to say that he was innocent? How can the sufferings of the Heyin tribe in the past be compared to those of Zhao today? The Li family in the county has the same crime? The matter is completely different, but he actually made threatening remarks to intimidate the people. With just this word, Li Zongkan will be punished!"
Li Licheng's face was completely downcast at this moment, and he said angrily: "The Li family of Zhaojun was a member of the Qi clan after the thieves Qi. At that time, they were only complacent and did not hear about the benefits of Youze and the clan. How can we covet his honor and favor?" I just hate his short-sightedness! If he could attract the help of other tribes, how could he easily overthrow the current affairs of Tianbao for Jinyang warriors? When Li Zuxun was killed by the Gao clan's madmen in Jinyang, would his tribe have ever lamented Heyin? Disaster strikes again?
Now that our royal army has been here for a long time and has repeatedly issued benevolent orders, these people have turned a deaf ear to it, and are still stubbornly staying in their hometowns, refusing to come over. What is their intention? The bandits in Dingzhou have exposed the ugly side of their clan. They follow the old relationship of relatives, love the bandits and pamper the flatterers, and sell their feelings in exchange for their lives. They are extremely ugly! The Supreme has said before that there are many of my old friends in Guandong, and I really can't bear to harm them. What I hate is that the Li family of Zhaojun blocked the way for the wise men in Guandong to come over. This crime cannot be redeemed by death! Even so, at that time, only the main culprit was executed and one family was imprisoned, and the rest were not implicated. Unexpectedly, the Li family of Zhaojun was ashamed of this, and evil thoughts grew. Taking advantage of this time when the bandits were roaming around, they still wanted to go to the hometown and plot a big evil. Fortunately, they were extinguished before the evil deeds were too big. If the chaos in Hebei reappears, can you people still leisurely go up to the tower to watch the execution? All those who have old ties with them will be implicated and go to the river bank to be beheaded! "
Li Licheng said this in a stern voice, and everyone was sweating profusely. Perhaps this tactic of sowing discord was not clever, but coupled with absolute strength, it had a strong deterrent effect.
"Please, may I ask your Majesty, will the crimes of the Zhaojun Li family stop at the present and not be investigated further?"
After a long while, someone stood up and spoke, but was worried that this might seem a little guilty, so he quickly added: "In the early years, the Zhaojun Li family relied on its status as a relative of the thief Qi and forced the current people to follow their family. Today, it is hard to tell whether it is true or false. If this is also a crime, I am afraid that many current people in the world will no longer be innocent! ”
It is true that people feel sorry for their own kind. The suffering of the Zhaojun Li family will inevitably make other clans in Hebei feel worried and insecure. But sometimes the pressure reaches a critical point, and people's empathy will turn into separation. They will cut off from the Zhaojun Li family in their hearts, find differences and hatreds between each other, and distance themselves from each other.
As for empathizing with everything and constantly adding pressure to oneself, that is a pathological condition that only a few people have, worrying about nothing and worrying about nothing.
Before Li Zongkan died Those words certainly made people think, but after listening to Li Licheng's words, the people of Yecheng were deeply touched. They no longer regarded this matter as cruel and tyrannical, but felt that the death of the Zhaojun Li family was justified. At present, the only thing they were a little worried about was whether this matter would stop here or continue to spread.
"When I left the capital to bid farewell to the Supreme, the Supreme gave me a few words, saying that those who have made contributions must be rewarded, those who have committed crimes must be punished, and that he should be benevolent and lead the people, and that he should be compassionate to the old people. He also said that if you can keep these four things, Hebei will surely be governed for a long time! ”
After the threats, Li Licheng put on his previous friendly expression, smiling at everyone and said.
When everyone heard this "out of affection for the old", they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the current supreme ruler was not a harsh and heartless person. However, when they were thinking, they forgot that the old friend Zhaojun Li, who should have been sympathized with, had already been punished for his crimes.
"Before, the situation was turbulent and the world was perverse, and the supreme ruler was exiled to Guanxi. Although he succeeded, Guanxi was in the west after all. After the world is settled, the emperor will definitely return to the old Luotianfu. At that time, he will also need the assistance of the wise men to proclaim the government to the world. A few days ago, Minister Cui came here to announce the order of the court to seek talents and encourage tribute. I believe you have heard about it. Today, we are gathered here, and I also hope that you can respond enthusiastically and send tribute scholars to the court! "
Next, Li Licheng expressed to everyone the court's eager attitude of seeking talents, and drew a big pie that he would return to Heluo in the future. Of course, this is not a big pie. When the time is ripe in the future, this will definitely happen.
But in order to make the time ripe as soon as possible, the cooperation of these Hebei clans is indispensable, so Li Licheng smiled and said: "A man born in the world, who doesn't have lofty ambitions? But who would be willing to be a thief who steals food from the countryside if he can be a generous and timely person? In the past, the thieves were violent and detained the wise men of various clans here and were unwilling to open their hearts and employ them. Now that the benevolent king has come to the world and is about to return to heaven, why don't you rush to the emperor's house and enrich the imperial garden? "
Li Licheng's words were indeed very inciting and inflammatory. Everyone was very moved after hearing this. In the past, Gao Huan forced the people of Luoyang to move to Yecheng, Hebei. Before, Yecheng was the capital of Northern Qi, but now even Northern Qi has been destroyed. Yecheng is not very attractive to them. If they can take the opportunity to return to Heluo, then whether it is to settle down or to participate in the imperial court selection in the future, they will undoubtedly be one step ahead!
