Li Mi pondered and tried her best to deduce Li Fengyun's secret.

Now Li Fengyun has made clear his attitude. He does not want to defeat King Yang Nan of Qi. He supports King Yang of Qi to take over the Eastern Palace, which complicates the situation. Once King Yang of Qi really wins the crown prince, the secret plan of a group of like-minded people led by Yang Xuangan will be difficult to achieve. However, Li Fengyun's statement contains mystery.

Li Fengyun raised the flag to rebel completely cut off his own way of life. He, the emperor and the King of Qi, are both enemies of life and death. Since they are enemies of life and death, the goal of his rebellion must be to overthrow the Yang family. Only by overthrowing the Yang family and changing the world can he fight a way of life. In this case, why should he support King of Qi Yang Nan to enter the Eastern Palace and become the crown prince of Middle-earth? Isn’t this a contradiction and a distortion?

Based on some of the secrets revealed by Li Fengyun just now, his identity must be extraordinary. This can explain why he is quite familiar with the political situation in Dongdu and the domestic and international situation. He and Yuwen Shu also have a deep hatred for Yuwen Shu. Based on these two points, we can infer that Li Fengyun is most likely the descendant of a political enemy defeated by Yuwen Shu. In this way, only by accurately deducing Li Fengyun's origin can we guess why he is not speaking to the heart? What is the purpose of his not speaking to the heart?

If Li Fengyun was born with a noble family, if the figure of the Dingzhu of his family was Yuwen Shu's political enemy, the target of the emperor's attack, and was eventually killed by the emperor's order, and Li Fengyun was "magically" appearing on the desert border and becoming a famous thief in recent years, then the Yulin incident that occurred in the third year of Daye would be the key.

In the third year of Daye, the emperor inspected the northern border, and the northern chiefs rushed to the palace to meet. This was a glorious moment that demonstrated the strength of China and the Turkish country. However, at this glorious moment, the domestic political struggle became fierce and quickly evolved into a huge political storm. This political storm began with the Yuwen brothers smuggling, and ended with the three founding fathers Gao Ying, Yuwen Bi and He Ruobi.

Among the three founding fathers, Gao Ying was the first hero of the founding country and had great achievements. Gao Ying was in charge of the government for nearly 20 years as the chief minister. Such wise ministers and generals such as Su Wei, Yang Su, He Ruobi, and Han Qinhu were all recommended by Gao Ying. The Holy Lord pacified Jiangzuo that year, and the first auxiliary minister was Gao Ying. However, such a figure that has been recorded in history fell in the battle for the imperial rule. Gao Ying's daughter was the prince's good wife (second only to the crown prince's concubine of the crown prince), and Yang Yong's daughter Princess Daning married Gao Ying's third son Gao Biaoren. Although this relationship was a bit chaotic, the marriage of the generations of officials was originally chaotic, and the political marriage of wealthy families did not take into account ethics at all. The prince Yang Yong had a powerful backstage, which should have an absolute advantage in the battle for the imperial rule. However, success and failure were Gao Ying, and the world was impermanent, so what could he do.

Gao Ying was from Bohai, Hebei. The Gao family of Bohai was once the royal family of the Gao family of Shandong. After Gao Qi was destroyed by the Northern Zhou Dynasty of Yuwen, the family of the Gao family of Bohai was no longer brilliant. Gao Ying's house was a bit far from Gao Qi's royal family and had no much to do with the Gao family of the country's devastated. However, Gao Ying's house rose strongly in the great cause of Sino-Turkish unification, so although the Gao family of Bohai was no longer brilliant, it was still a first-class family in Shandong.

When Middle-earth was unified, the children of Shandong wealthy families in Guanlong returned one after another. They urgently needed the support of the power of our family to compete with the emerging aristocratic groups in Guanlong with military merits. The five major Shandong families headed by Cui, the first-class Shandong families headed by Gao, and many other Shandong nobles who regarded themselves as the righteous Central China and the politically attacked and contained by the Guanlong noble group because they were defeated in the war of unification. They also urgently needed to take advantage of the power of Shandong children in Guanlong to make a comeback, control the authority of Middle-earth, and become the master of Middle-earth again.

Gao Ying's father Gao Bin was originally a close relative of Dugu Xin, one of the Eight Pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty. The late emperor's father Yang Zhong was a general under Dugu Xin. Therefore, the late emperor and Gao Ying were both from the Guanlong Wuchuan political group with the Dugu family as the core force. The late emperor was founded by Zen, and its core force was the Wuchuan political group. However, with the unification of Middle-earth, the political territory of Middle-earth also changed, and the Wuchuan political group, which originally integrated the Han and Capitols, also evolved rapidly.

Historically, as the Northern Wei split into the East and West, the Western Wei was replaced by the Yuwen family and the Northern Zhou family, and the Northern Zhou was abdicated to the Great Sui Dynasty. Every time the dynasty changes, the Wuchuan political group would be divided and reorganized. This time, the biggest change was that the Yang family became the royal family, the most noble and powerful political force. Other Shandong nobles such as Gao Ying returned to the church and also separated from the Wuchuan political group. But this was not the biggest change. The biggest change was that with the unification of Middle-earth, the political power of Middle-earth expanded on a large scale. In addition to the Guanlong local aristocratic group, the Heluo noble group, and the Wuchuan noble group headed by the eight nobles, the Wuchuan noble group with the Han and Lu surnames, the Shandong noble group and the Jiangzuo noble group were also added. The two noble groups had a long history, profound cultural heritage, and extremely strong strength. They entered the political center and directly threatened the dominance of the Guanlong political group.

Gao Ying naturally became the leader of the Shandong aristocratic group. He and Wuchuan aristocrats gradually drifted away from the late emperor and the Wenxian empress. What was particularly serious was that by the end of Kaihuang, the ruling philosophy of the late emperor conflicted with Gao Ying's reform ideas. The reform pace of the late emperor became faster and faster, while Gao Ying gradually became the spokesperson of the conservative power.

Gao Ying had too high reputation, too great power, and too strong political power. Once the crown prince Yang Yong ascended the throne, the conservative forces headed by Gao Ying would inevitably control the government, the Shandong aristocratic group would definitely make a comeback, and the governance concept of the late emperor would definitely be difficult to inherit, and reforms would inevitably deviate from the established track. Therefore, the late emperor, the Empress Wenxian, and the Guanlong political group who supported them began to use the battle for the imperial reign as the battlefield and launched a fierce offensive against the conservative forces headed by Gao Ying. When Gao Ying fell, the crown prince Yang Yong also fell.

After the Holy Lord ascended the throne, reform accelerated, and the interests of the entire aristocratic bureaucratic group were damaged. The Holy Lord violated the interests of the entire ruling class, and of course there were more and more opponents. The rebellion of King Yang Liang of Han, which broke out at the beginning of the Holy Lord ascended the throne, forced the Holy Lord to compromise with many political forces in times of crisis, including the re-appointment of Gao Ying. As a result, the conservative power in the court increased greatly, and the resistance to reform became greater and greater, and the Holy Lord had to kill him.

The Yulin political storm in the third year of Daye is essentially a peak showdown between the reformists and the conservatives. Although it also involves the contradictions between the Shandong people and the Guanlong people, these contradictions are not the main cause of the storm. The real core factor is that the supreme rulers have completely different attitudes towards the redistribution of power and wealth, which is related to the fate of Middle-earth and the survival of the country. We must fight for victory or defeat, make a decision, and never stop until death.

Gao Ying died, his descendants were compatible, and his descendants were imprisoned in his career. With his death, the largest conservative force in Zhongtu was destroyed, and the biggest obstacle to reform collapsed. The Holy Lord finally ushered in his own era in politics.

Gao Ying was the biggest political enemy of the emperor and Yuwen Shu. Gao Ying was killed by the emperor's order. Gao Ying was from Shandong. Gao Ying was a high noble. Gao Ying had dominated the government for twenty years. Gao Ying died in Yulin in Daye for three years. Gao Ying's descendants were all connected to the frontier. All of these are in line with Li Mi's deduction of Li Fengyun's mysterious identity. If the deduction is correct, then Li Fengyun is very likely to be Gao Ying's descendants, and of course, he may also be Gao Ying's confidant subordinates or family generals.

As for Yuwen Bi and He Ruobi who died with Gao Ying were both Xianbei people and belonged to the aristocratic group of surnames. If Li Fengyun was their descendant, he would not have received support from Shandong aristocrats even if he rebelled. In today's era, rebels without the support of the nobles would not be able to survive, let alone form a scale for political forces.

Li Fengyun sat quietly and waited patiently for Li Mi's thoughts.

The power of the alliance is too weak now, and we must use this opportunity to plunder Tongjiqu to the greatest extent. Li Mi and the huge forces behind him can just protect the alliance, so we must try our best to delay the decisive battle with King Yang Nan of Qi to July or even later. But Yang Xuangan behind Li Mi is obviously still optimistic about the Eastern Expedition. In order to take the initiative in the future political situation, he must destroy King Yang Nan of Qi as soon as possible. For this reason, he must ensure control of the battlefield of Tongjiqu and the control of Li Fengyun and the Rebel Alliance. He will never tolerate Li Fengyun and the alliance destroying his overall planning.

In Yang Xuangan's plan, Li Mi is the key. Yang Xuangan uses Li Mi to remotely control the Tongji Canal battlefield. Therefore, if you want to influence Yang Xuangan's decision, you must first convince Li Mi. However, Li Mi is too smart and wise. If Li Fengyun wants to achieve his goal, eat and drink enough, and then escape from the attack of tigers and wolves, it is too difficult.

Li Mi finally looked up, and an uncontrollable excitement appeared in her eyes, "What does it have to do with Bohai Gong (Gao Ying)?"

Li Fengyun was surprised. He did not expect that Li Mi was still wandering around the hypothetical misunderstandings and did not really understand what he said. He deliberately made a statement supporting King Yang Nan of Qi, in order to mislead Li Mi's judgment of the situation so that he no longer rushes to force himself to fight against King Qi, and at the same time continued to maintain cooperation between the two sides so that the alliance could make profits. As a result, Li Mi was indeed misled by himself, but the misleading direction was wrong.

Li Mi was too smart and even tied himself up with Gao Ying, but it was related to the core secrets of the Eastern Expedition. Even the Minister of Rites Yang Xuangan didn't know the secrets. He was a thief who was thousands of miles away from the center. This made Li Mi exhaust his wisdom and deduce the whole story.

How could he have something to do with Gao Ying?

Li Fengyun suddenly thought of something, his expression changed slightly, and his eyes showed a look of surprise. Could it be that person... was actually related to Gao Ying? With Li Mi's wisdom, his understanding of the wealthy families in the Central Plains, and his familiarity with the political secrets of the high-level Eastern Expedition, his deduction results should have a certain basis, rather than pure nonsense.

Li Fengyun's sudden loss of composure fell into Li Mi's eyes, but he was sure of the facts. If Li Fengyun had a close relationship with Gao Ying, he would certainly be determined to avenge Gao Ying, and the highest goal of revenge was naturally to destroy the Yang family's reign. The Yang family could be established, and the Yang family could unify the Central Plains. Gao Ying made an important contribution, but the rabbit died and the dog cooked. Gao Ying's ending was like many heroes in history, and he was killed by the king like a dog. How could he not avenge this?

Gao Ying and Su Wei are close friends and like-minded political allies. Now Gao Ying is gone. Su Wei is the leader of the conservative forces in the court. At the same time, Su Wei is the Dingzhu of the local aristocratic group in Guanlong. Of course, he must support Wei's family and support King Yang Nan of Qi to enter the Eastern Palace.

All the details are connected together, and the fog shrouded on Li Fengyun gradually dissipated. Behind Li Fengyun not only has the support of Shandong wealthy families, but also the shadows about the local political leaders in Long. Everyone has their own masters, their own goals, and use them with their own goals. Whoever can laugh to the end depends on their personal ability. Although Li Fengyun is weak today, he can only survive in the cracks of various forces, but he has his own goals. He is never willing to be controlled by others and is unwilling to sacrifice his life to make wedding dresses for others in vain.

Li Fengyun instantly returned to peace. Since Li Mi had his own answer, and his answer was good or bad for him, of course he had to make good use of it.

Li Fengyun neither denies nor acknowledges, but continues his own topic, "There is no crown prince in China, which does not mean there is no dispute over the imperial unity. On the contrary, the dispute over the imperial unity is more intense because it gives more people the opportunity to fall in love with it."

Based on his own deduced answers, Li Mi quickly sorted out the complex relationship between various forces, and then asked a question, "Is the power behind you sure to send King Qi to the Eastern Palace?"

The implication is that since we can create a "deviant" case to attack the King of Qi, of course we have a way to continue to attack him.

Li Fengyun smiled disapprovingly and said, "Do you know that the power of the old Duke of Yue Yang Su has become an obstacle to the acceleration of reform. After the victory of the Eastern Expedition, reform will inevitably accelerate, and all obstacles that affect the acceleration of reform will be ruthlessly eradicated."

Li Mi remained silent, "The crisis is right in front of us. We all saw it and were trying our best to resolve it. So I arrived at Tongji Canal and cooperated with you. But beyond my expectations, you have too many secrets, which has seriously affected our overall planning."

Li Fengyun shook his hand repeatedly, "Wrong, you didn't hear someone clearly. What he said is that Middle-earth urgently needs a crown prince."

Li Mi frowned slightly, thinking, "If the Eastern Expedition is victorious and the emperor's authority increases greatly, who dares to seek the position of crown prince?"

"What if the Eastern Expedition is defeated?"

"Is the Eastern Expedition defeated?" Li Mi thought for a moment and shook her head, "It's impossible."

"There are traitors around the Holy Lord and there are traitors in the center." Li Fengyun sneered, "Don't you know about this matter."

Li Mi looked expressionless and looked calm, but a hint of panic flashed through her eyes and a shocking waves surged in her heart. He knew such a secret? What kind of monster is this? Su Wei must have doubts. At the beginning, Duan Wenzhen bluntly advised the Holy Lord that he should not be used, but the Holy Lord believed in his loyalty and was unmoved and continued to entrust the important task. If the Eastern Expedition was defeated, it would be almost certain to be related to that person, but Li Fengyun suddenly mentioned what that person meant? Could he have the handle of the man cooperating with the enemy? He even had already found out about the secret plan of the Duke of Xiao Yue?

The more Li Mi thought about it, the more he became, and he couldn't sit still. He thought he had probably seen Li Fengyun clearly, but in a blink of an eye, his eyes were covered by the fog and he was lost again.

"It's better to wait for a decisive battle with King Qi." Li Fengyun said in a pun, "Perhaps you can seize a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and once you seize this opportunity, all your crises will be solved."
