Chapter two hundred and forty-two melancholy Wei Fusi
Li Mi returned to his military tent, calmed down, then sorted out her chaotic thoughts, and then wrote a secret letter to Yang Xuangan.
The most urgent thing at present that seriously endangers the safety of this group is the person at the core level at stake. That person not only participated in Yang Xuangan's secret planning, but also one of the core planners. He knew all the secrets of this group. Once he exposed and confessed, the political group led by Yang Xuangan would be devastating.
There are only a few people in the whole East who know that person's secret. What is incredible is that Li Fengyun actually knows this secret. Moreover, he is not a simple doubt about that person, and seems to have important evidence, which shows that Li Fengyun can obtain secrets from the central core level, but Li Fengyun's value is very limited at present. If he really has connections with a political boss at the central core level, what motive does that boss provide him with such an important secret?
Li Mi believes that the current political situation in China and Turkey has reached a critical moment, and the reformists and conservatives are at the peak of the showdown, which is related to life and death, and no one can afford to lose. Therefore, that person actually treasons with the enemy and treason, and sacrifices the interests of the country and the nation, and is determined to destroy the Eastern Expedition and defeat the reformists with radical and extraordinary means. The Guanlong local aristocratic group, which also holds a conservative stance, is also risking the civil war and actively planning the position of the crown prince. They are of course doing everything they can to achieve this goal. Although Li Fengyun's value seems very limited at present, once it is used properly, it can still play an important role. Therefore, Su Wei, as the leader of the Guanlong local aristocratic group and one of the central bosses, is indeed possible to do some extraordinary things at extraordinary moments.
That person won the trust of the emperor and the favor of the reformists, and was able to enter the central decision-making level. However, Duan Wenzhen, the Minister of War, had a deep prejudice against him and strongly opposed him to enter the decision-making level. Nayan Su Wei did not like him, and once expressed his dissatisfaction with him in public, and even once doubted his loyalty to the emperor. Now that Duan Wenzhen is dead, it no longer poses a threat to that person, but Su Wei is still in a high position and has great power. If Su Wei suspects or is convinced that the person is traitor and has obtained the exact evidence, then he will be dead, and the political power behind him will definitely be destroyed, so Su Wei poses too great a threat to that person.
However, Li Mi believed that with that person's means, even if he did something to collude with the enemy and sell his country on the battlefield of the Eastern Expedition, he would definitely do it secretly. With the efforts of the Goguryeo people, Su Wei should not be able to seize his handle and should still be in a state of doubt. In addition, based on the interests of the Guanlong noble group, in order to push King Yang Nan of Qi to the position of crown prince at the minimum cost, they also hope that the Eastern Expedition failed, and that the emperor and the central government would fall into a political crisis due to the failure of the Eastern Expedition, and eventually had to compromise and concessions with them. Therefore, even if Su Wei suspected that the person collude with the enemy and the country, he would definitely not attack that person without evidence or insufficient evidence. On the contrary, he was very likely to use his suspicion to put pressure on the person and his forces behind, which made the person and his forces behind panic, forcing them not to dare to stop or destroy the King of Qi's battle for the position of crown prince.
Li Fengyun's role may be like this. Su Wei achieved this through him, but Li Fengyun obviously did not have the "consciousness" to be a chess piece. He had too great ambitions and tried to disrupt the situation in Henan, "the fisherman gained profits" on the battlefield of Tongji Canal and strengthen himself.
This involves an important issue. How can a thief and the central priest have something to do with each other? Is there indeed a connection between Li Fengyun and Su Wei?
Li Mi's complex deduction full of rich imagination immediately played a role. The Yulin incident in Daye and Gao Ying's death became the key points that link all clues. To prove the correctness of this deduction, it is necessary to use Yang Xuangan's power to re-invest Li Fengyun, and the direction of the investigation changed from Yuwen Shu to Gao Ying, so the chance of getting the truth was greatly increased.
In the letter, Li Mi asked Yang Xuangan to investigate Li Fengyun immediately from a new direction. Only by finding out Li Fengyun's true identity can he prove whether his deduction is correct. Whether his deduction is correct is not only related to the life and death of the person in the center, but also to the future fate of Yang Xuangan and his political forces, and also to determine their decisions on the battlefield of Tongjiqu. This decision directly affects the future development of the political situation in Dongdu and even the domestic situation, and to affect whether their shocking plan to destroy the emperor and reform that they have secretly planned for many years can continue to be implemented.
Li Fengyun only wanted to stabilize Li Mi for the time being. As for what Li Mi thought and how he deduced, he didn't care. He only cared about whether the alliance could use Li Mi's protection to continue to plunder the Tongji Canal. But now King Yang Nan of Qi was eyeing him, and the danger of the rebel army continuing to make profits from the Tongji Canal was getting greater and greater, which forced him to give priority to the safety of the alliance. At this moment, Wei Fusi appeared quietly in the alliance's camp as a comforting envoy.
Wei Fusi was an important figure in the Wei family. He once served as the Neishisheshe, and was ranked at the center. He was noble in the capital of the East. Of course, Xiao Yi knew him, so Xiao Yi was very surprised when he saw him and told Li Fengyun immediately. Wei Fusi is now a guilty person and should be confined to the Xijing mansion to think about his mistakes. But what is incredible is that he actually risked his head beheading and hid beside the King of Qi to make suggestions for the King of Qi. Now he has come forward in negotiations in person, regardless of the possible series of evil consequences after the identity is exposed. It can be seen that Wei Fusi has absolute confidence in achieving this goal. It can be seen that the King of Qi has "unequal thoughts" about the alliance, which is good news for Li Fengyun.
Li Fengyun immediately adjusted the negotiation agenda and had a secret talk with Wei Fusi alone.
Wei Fusi, who was over fifty years old, had a sense of dignity and majesty of a superior person in his every move, giving people an invisible pressure. However, his haggard and tired expression, excessive melancholy eyes and gray hair all clearly showed the drastic changes in his mentality after being punished for the crime of the King of Qi's defiance of virtue. He was unwilling to fall, and he wanted to make a comeback and fight back fiercely to those political enemies who had attacked him.
Li Fengyun smiled with a respectful attitude. After a few greetings, he began to test, but Wei Fusi's words made him feel Leng Sen's sharp sword.
"Do you know someone?" Wei Fusi asked.
"Ming Gong is well-known in the world, who doesn't know?" Li Fengyun smiled and bowed, "It is rumored that Ming Gong has gone west to Louguandao to recuperate, but he unexpectedly met in Tongji Canal."
Wei Fusi waved his hand and interrupted Li Fengyun's words, "You went west to the Central Plains, plundered Tongji Canal, endangered the Eastern Capital, and affected the Eastern Expedition. It is indeed a good game, but now the King of Qi has left the capital to suppress the rebellion, why haven't you evacuated? What is your purpose? Is the King of Qi or the Eastern Expedition?"
"If someone said that his purpose was just to plunder Tongji Canal to strengthen himself, would Ming Gong believe it?"
Wei Fusi smiled and looked at Li Fengyun meaningfully, shook his head, "If you are an ordinary thief, and you will rush into the Central Plains without knowing how to rob Tongjiqu and strengthen yourself, this excuse is indeed good, but Tongjiqu is too involved. It is like a hornet's nest. No one dares to stab anyone, whoever stabs him will die, but you stab him, why? Is it to die? Since someone is here, he is sincere, the sincerity of the King of Qi. Therefore, we might as well be honest, cooperate if we can cooperate, and we can't cooperate if we can meet each other. There is no need to lie to deceive each other, which is of no use and meaningless."
Li Fengyun nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and asked, "In the view of Ming Gong, will it be beneficial for the King of Qi to compete for the crown prince if he accepts the counsel of King of Qi?"
Wei Fusi frowned slightly, the melancholy in his eyes became stronger, and he obviously had no absolute confidence in this matter. Later, he spoke, "What can you think about the current situation?"
"In a certain opinion, although the victory or defeat of the Eastern Expedition will directly affect the political situation of the Eastern Capital, the domestic situation and the increasingly deteriorating north-south relationship, it is impossible for the King of Qi to use this to threaten the Holy Lord and the Central Committee and force them to compromise and retreat, thereby paving the way to take over the Eastern Palace."
Li Fengyun's tone was very firm, while Wei Fusi asked without hesitation, "What is the basis?"
"Is the core contradiction in the court reform or conservative?" Li Fengyun said, "This contradiction is the driving force for the development of China-Turkey political situation. It directly determines the future fate of China-Turkey and the fate of King Qi."
Wei Fusi's eyes showed a hint of spirit, and he was even more curious about Li Fengyun, and his attention to him increased rapidly. This person was not an ordinary person. He had such a deep understanding of the political situation in Zhongtu, which shows that he knew the political affairs of Dongdu very well, and thus he was definitely not an unknown person.
"Can you see the future fate of King Qi?" Wei Fusi asked half-truely.
"If the King of Qi continues to join forces with conservative forces, continues to form alliances with conservative forces to provoke the dispute over the imperial rule, continues to run contrary to the emperor's ruling philosophy, and continues to hinder and oppose the reform policies implemented by the central government, he will not only be farther and farther away from the crown prince, but also have life worries." Li Fengyun said seriously, "It is certain that even if the King of Qi made great contributions to the suppression of rebellion on the battlefield of Tongjiqu, and even if the emperor suffered a severe blow in the battlefield of the Eastern Expedition, these will not help the King of Qi to win the crown prince. On the contrary, when the King of Qi's threat to the emperor, when the conservative forces headed by Qi's king will have more and more obstacles to reform, the King of Qi is close to the death period."
Wei Fusi remained silent. Li Fengyun was talking about the facts. Although there was a sense of alarmist statement, Wei Fusi knew very well that the fundamental reason why the Holy Lord was able to defeat the crown prince Yang Yong and inherit the imperial throne was that Yang Yong was not keen on reform, but the Holy Lord was determined to change. The real reason why the Holy Lord delayed making the King of Qi the crown prince today was also this. The King of Qi was like the crown prince Yang Yong of the year. Not only did he not support reform, but he formed an alliance with conservative forces to hinder the reform. This obviously touched the bottom line of the Holy Lord. Therefore, from the political standpoint of the Holy Lord, the King of Qi was definitely not a suitable heir to the imperial throne.
However, politics emphasizes compromise, which is why Wei Fusi decided to take a risk. If the Holy Lord was defeated in the battlefield of the Eastern Expedition, the reformists were severely damaged, if the King of Qi had strong strength and the conservative forces controlled the Eastern Capital, then in order to avoid the outbreak of civil war, for the long-term stability of the Yang family's reign, and for the peace and stability of Middle-earth, the emperor and the reformists had to compromise.
"Do you think the Holy Lord will definitely win the Eastern Expedition?"
Wei Fusi instinctively refused to accept Li Fengyun's view. He believed that Li Fengyun was pessimistic about King Qi because he firmly believed that the Holy Lord could win the Eastern Expedition.
"I think that the defeat in the Eastern Expedition has been decided."
Li Fengyun's words are not astonishing as hell.
