Chapter 64 Kite

In the suburbs, a large number of soldiers were riding horses. These big men who had just learned how to ride horses were careful.

On the top of the mound, Li Li looked at the appearance of these people and remembered the scene when he first learned to ride a horse.

Next to it, laughter was heard one after another, and his wives, concubines and children were flying kites, which were in the shape of a classic swallow.

Li Li looked at the kite and suddenly thought of the current situation.

During the summer and autumn, Emperor Gao Yang of Qi repelled the Liang State's attack on Henan, and then returned to the court, and then mobilized troops to enter Bingzhou.

The Zhou army, which invaded the border of Bingzhou, had already made slow progress. When Qi reinforcements arrived, they had to retreat.

In this way, Qi State resolved the offensives between Liang and Zhou and regained its strength.

Then, Gao Yang remembered the royal family of the Wei Kingdom that had fallen, and remembered that these people were still living a delicious and delicious life in Yecheng.

He asked his brother-in-law, Yuan Shao, a member of the Wei royal family,: "Why could Emperor Guangwu of Han revival?"

Yuan Shao replied: "Because the surname Liu has not been killed."

Gao Yang felt that this made sense, so he raised his butcher's knife.

Ten years after the change of Qi and Wei, the royal families of the Wei Kingdom ushered in the doomsday. No matter how old or young, they were pulled out to behead their heads, killing more than 700 people, and their bodies were thrown into the Zhang River outside Yecheng.

It is said that from that day on, the fish caught from the Zhangshui have people's nails and hair in their stomachs, so no one in Yecheng dares to eat the fish in the Zhangshui.

Gao Yang also used tricks to kill people, gathering the imprisoned Yuan family's children on the Golden Phoenix Platform, one of the three platforms in Yecheng, and asked them to tie themselves under a special large kite and then jump down.

If you say something in advance, you will live if you jump down and never die.

This is probably the most "formal" human flight experiment, with the purpose of killing people in various ways.

But there was a person who flew up with the help of a kite and landed safely.

Then he was locked in prison and starved to death.

Yuan Shao, who thought he was the son-in-law of the Gao family and was trusted by Gao Yang, was locked in a dungeon by his wife and brother and starved to death.

After the nest was destroyed, there was no egg. When Gao Yang decided to slaughter all the royal families of the previous dynasty, Yuan Shao, who thought he could survive, still could not escape the disaster.

Li Li heard Zu Yi mention Yuan Shao, and his life was quite tortuous.

Thirty years ago, Erzhu Rong, a powerful minister of Wei, led his army to the capital Luoyang, and was in a raging momentum. Yuan Shao, the father of Yuan Shao, felt that something big was going to happen, so he sent Yuan Shao to his confidant's home to hide.

Sure enough, Erzhu Rong massacred the royal family and officials who lived in Luoyang, tricked the powerful people, including the Empress Dowager, to the edge of the Yellow River, sent cavalry to trample on them, and then threw them into the river to feed fish and turtles.

This is the change of Heyin that shocked the world.

Yuan Shao escaped by chance, but after this trouble, the royal family was completely destroyed, the government was controlled by powerful ministers, and the emperor became a puppet.

After the destruction of the Erzhu clan, Gao Huan, a new powerful minister, supported the new puppet emperor Yuan Xiu and married his daughter Gao to Yuan Xiu as the queen.

Yuan Xiu was dissatisfied with Gao Huan's control of the government and fled west to Guanzhong. Therefore, Wei divided the east and west, and Empress Gao became a widow and remarried Yuan Shao.

Yuanshao became the son-in-law of the Gao family. After Qi received Wei Chan, he was still treated as a courtesy. He served as the Grand Marshal, the Minister of State, the Minister of State, and was promoted to the Grand Tutor, and was once honored.

But in fact, it was just a pet dog raised by Gao's family. Gao Yang even asked Yuan Shao to shave off his beard, apply makeup, and wear women's clothes to accompany him.

Li Li felt very curious and wanted to know what Yuan Shao had when Gao Yang asked Yuan Shao with bad intentions, "Why could Emperor Guangwu of Han revival?"

The laughter and joy brought his thoughts back to reality.

It is October now, and the weather is getting colder. Xuzhou has ushered in a bumper autumn before. Military and civilians from all over the country have obtained labor income for more than half a year. It is really a celebration.

If nothing unexpected happens, wars may not break out between Liang and Qi next year, then Xuzhou will usher in another year of peace, and by then, the military farming will be able to achieve "turning losses into profits."

And his civil and military team has also been trained.

I don’t know what Poyang King Xiao Si thinks, but Li Li will make his thoughts arouse Xiao Si’s “resonance” anyway.

The country was rotting day by day, and the huge copper mines were silently waiting for people to mine, and he didn't want to wait any longer.

While Li Li was thinking, several cavalry galloped over. He looked closely and found that it was his own guard. It seemed that he had brought emergency news.

......

In the afternoon, at the official residence, Li Li was listening to Zu Wei's analysis of the current situation, and Zhang Ying was present.

Not long ago, Fei Ge sent a letter to spread a message from Yecheng to Hanshan, and to Li Li: Emperor Gao Yang of Qi was demoted.

The news came so suddenly that Li Li couldn't believe it: Gao Yang was about the same age as him, so why did he die suddenly?

Gao Yang, who was in the grand year, seemed to be flying high, flying happily. Suddenly, the thread broke and fell to the ground.

The news is right, because the bad news quickly spread, and everyone in Yecheng was already known.

"Master Qi has been drinking all year round and taking pills. I think his body has been hollowed out, so it is not surprising that he died young."

Zu Qi said slowly that he served the Gao family father and son for many years and knew very well about the affairs of Qi, especially Gao Yang's daily diet, which was a "witness".

"If nothing unexpected happens, after the crown prince Gao Yin ascended the throne, he will be deposed soon, because he and his son will not be able to suppress the situation at all."

"Empress Li... Empress Li is weak and has no opinion when encountering things. Her prince Gao Yin is also cowardly and young."

"Tai Lou...the Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother of Jinyang did not support Li as the queen back then. Now, how can we tolerate her and her son taking charge of the overall situation?"

"You must know that the Empress Dowager and his legitimate son are still there. The nobles of Jinyang will definitely think of supporting the emperor's uncle and taking over them and driving away all the Han officials who were assisting in the government."

Zu Yi said something, and Li Li frowned: "Then, the young emperor will be finished soon?"

"This is inevitable." Zu Yi did not hesitate at all, he was full of confidence in his judgment:

"The nobles of Jinyang and the officials of Yecheng are incompatible. Now the young emperor has ascended the throne, and the empress dowager is still famous. It is a matter of time to change the day and the day."

"Then... Yang... Yang Yan and others who are assisting in the administration can't stand it?" Li Li felt incredible.

"Do they have soldiers?" Zu Yi asked back, and Li Li coughed dryly: "Imperial Guard, just control the imperial guards. You can't raise an army to rebel, right? Isn't that giving outsiders an opportunity to take advantage of?"

"June, the official said just now that Empress Dowager Li is weak and has no opinion when encountering things. How can she compete with the Empress Dowager who is in the palace?"

"What should I dare to face the Empress Dowager and several uncles?"

"Do they dare to attack the Empress Dowager? What's the use if they don't dare, what's the point?"

Li Li always felt that the situation was not without room for recovery for Empress Dowager Li and the Young Emperor: "Empress Dowager Li can start first, put people under house arrest and isolate them from inside and outside..."

"Isn't Yang Yan, who is a regent, a capable minister? He will never wait to die..."

"June and Empress Li are weak."

Zu Qi reminded him again, and Li Li sighed: "If as you said, Empress Dowager Li is weak and can't stand things. At the critical moment, she will lose her chain."

Zhang Ying thought about it carefully and asked, "Then, if this is true, can you take advantage of the situation and robbery?"

Zu Qi shook his head: "It is difficult. If the young emperor is seized, it means that the nobles of Jinyang support the emperor's uncle to seize the throne. Then, in the face of the Liang army's attack, they will do their best."

"And Jiankang may not allow the king to send troops. After all, Henan is defeated in the front and the army is unknown. After all, Qi State is in a new state. It is unreasonable to send troops to attack at this time, but instead he will give people a handle and be impeached by those Qingliu."

"In other words, you have to wait until the emperor takes over the throne of nephew to find an excuse?" Zhang Ying murmured, Zu Feng refused to comment: "The key is whether Jiankang is willing to give the lord a chance to make new contributions."

"Don't think about it, of course they don't want to." Li Li smiled. "Maintaining the status quo is probably the idea of ​​the court. Otherwise, once the war begins, the vulgar warriors will make military achievements again."

"But this is an opportunity." Zu Qi began to instigate Li Li. As the end of the year approached, he returned to Hanshan to report his work. When he encountered this, he happened to give Li Li advice.

Li Li has been preparing for the past few years. Now the situation has been opened. Zu Qi believes that the other party should have something to do.

Otherwise, what will I do if I defect to you?

It just so happened that Zhang Ying was there, and Zu Wei said, "Your Majesty can't always stay in Huaibei, and it's useless time..."
