Chapter 217 Unlocking Pingyang

After obtaining Hou Jie's confirmation, Luo Shixin and Dou Pingrong also breathed a sigh of relief.

Even Luo Shixin was a little nervous when he asked Situ Shao to stare at him. He was not afraid of Situ Shao, but Situ Shao took advantage of his absence to attack Fu Bo, Pei Xingjian and other people he cared about. He was a little chilling when he was away. Therefore, no matter what, he had to lure Situ Shao out and remove him.

Kill Situ's Suspension, the southbound trip was successfully concluded.

Luo Shixin, Hou Jie, Dou Pingrong and his group got off the boat at the next port, cremated Situ's body on the spot, and parted ways with each other.

Dou Pingrong planned to settle in Jingzhou, so she left her contact information and took the lead.

Hou Jie was invited by Luo Shixin and had agreed to be his disciple, so he was with him. As for other people in the martial arts world, they also returned home with smiles. They were originally coming to help with the boxing from the bearded guest and Pei Qingyi, but they met Luo Shixin and received his guidance, which led to their strength. Everyone was satisfied with the gains of this trip.

Luo Shixin and Hou Jie went north directly, rushed to Fangcheng with a fast horse and light cavalry.

In the great victory in Jiangnan, Li Xiaogong, Li Jing and the seven generals were in charge of each other. They were all local generals, unlike Luo Shixin, who were like returning to Beijing. Generals like them were not allowed to enter Beijing without being summoned, and they all returned to their territory. As for the rewards of merit, the court would issue them with the situation of imperial edicts based on their merits. Because of this, Li Jing had to return to Guiyang territory and wait for the imperial edicts. He did a whole set of operas, in order to cover up his ears. Pei Qingyi went to Lingnan with Li Jing, pretending to join the master, so that Situ Shu had no chance to find.

Pingyang and his group were too large to participate in the removal of Situ's wounds. So the two made an appointment to meet in Fangcheng.

Fangcheng is located in the southwest of Henan Province. It is located in the key point of leaving the northeast of the Nanyang Basin, the northeast corner of the Nanyang Basin, the eastern foot of Funiu Mountain, and the upper reaches of the Tangbai River. It is adjacent to Wugang and Biyang County in the east, Sheqi County in the south, and Wancheng District in the south. It is connected to Nanzhao County in the west, Lushan County in the north, and Ye County in the north, which is the northern gate of Nanyang City.

Because of its excellent geographical location, even though he was destroyed by the cannibal demon Zhu Can in the past, after years of development, he gradually became angry and had a lot of business trips. It was very prosperous.

Luo Shixin and Hou Jie entered the city and met Wu Bao at the city gate.

"Brother Wu!" Luo Shixin shouted: "I've been waiting for a long time!"

Wu Bao quickly walked up and said, "It's not long before, we came three days ago. The lady is resting at Wolong Inn. I'll take you to find her."

Luo Shixin nodded and said yes, then smiled and said, "Wolong Inn, this name has gained prestige."

Wu Bao smiled and said, "A hundred years old shop, Zhuge Liang, from Nanyang, is a hundred miles apart from Fangcheng. The shopkeeper told Zhuge Liang all the way to go together. He took a Wolong Inn. Not to mention, the business is good. He just made the name for this. Many people are willing to stay in the store. Even the wife is not immune to the vulgarity. I think it is interesting, so I chose Wolong Inn."

After walking three streets, I saw a big sign with four characters in Wolong Inn from a distance. There was a feather fan at the bottom of the character "Stand" and the costume was a bit more flavorful.

When he walked into the inn, Wu Bao led Luo Shixin directly to the second floor. When he rented the house, Pingyang had already rented his share. As before, he was next door.

He knocked on Pingyang's door, and Pingyang welcomed Luo Shixin into the room with a bit of a strong smile.

"There is a deputy commander and the general made plans together. I think even if Situ Shao had ten lives, it would not be enough to die." She did not ask Situ Shao how it was, but she could see the result answer from Luo Shixin's expression.

Along the way, Luo Shixin and Ping Yang had a closer relationship. He found a stool and sat down, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"See someone!" Pingyang sat down opposite Luo Shixin, and was seen. The anger on his face was no longer hidden. His fists clenched and hit him heavily.

Luo Shixinqi said: "Who can make the princess angry and her face turned blue?"

"Liu Can!" Pingyang said a person's name.

Luo Shixin was confused and said, "Who is Liu Can?"

"I am a villain, one of the culprits who instigated my fourth brother to learn bad things. When my father asked my fourth brother to guard Taiyuan, he encouraged me to do everything evil, which made the public resentment so that I lost Taiyuan, the place where the Tang Dynasty was Longxing. They fled to Chang'an and still thought they were in Taiyuan. They did evil and raped and killed my maid. At that time, Chai Shao advised me to calm down, but I was in a bad mood. I broke into the Qi Palace and killed the two who raped and killed my maid. Liu Can went out to do anything and escaped. Later, the fourth brother sent Liu Can's head to my mansion, and the matter was settled. Unexpectedly, Liu Can was still alive, and his pseudonym was Liu Chen and became the local prefect in Fangcheng."

Luo Shixin knew that Pingyang was willing to cover up his compatriots and brothers, but he also heard it. Just as he thought, Li Yuanji was arrogant and domineering, with bad character, and met a father who protected his calf. He directly made him, a sixteen-year-old bad guy who knew nothing, serves as Duke Qi, and commands the military affairs of the fifteen counties of Bingzhou, and is the general of Zhenbei, and the marshal of the Taiyuan Road.

At that time, Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng were running Guanzhong, and Li Shimin led the Western Qin Dynasty. Li Yuanji, who was in Taiyuan, met Liu Can and several confidants with inappropriate minds, which caused chaos in Taiyuan, causing the Li family's nest to be Liu Wuzhou.

Li Yuanji and his confidant were used to being arrogant, so they came to Chang'an, and did not change their style and bullied Pingyang.

Pingyang broke into Li Yuanji's mansion directly and chopped off his confidant's head in front of Li Yuanji, which scared Li Yuanji to death.

In order to calm down Pingyang's anger, Li Yuanji killed Liu Can, but he did some tricks and played the trick of replacing the pillars.

"There is a minister of the King of Qi in the official positions of the Daoxingtai Shangtai of Xiangzhou. He was appointed by him for military and political affairs in Nanyang. It would be a matter of one sentence to arrange a prefect? ​​What's more, the current system of the court is so chaotic that no one notices the actions of the King of Qi." Luo Shixin did not give Pingyang any face, and his dislike for Li Yuanji was reflected on his face.

Pingyang also knew that Luo Shixin's upright style could not have any good feelings for Li Yuanji, and he didn't care. He was just a little embarrassed. Li Yuanji was also the younger brother of her mother. She could scold and beat him, but could she still kill him?

This is also the reason why she was angry. Li Yuanji pretended to be a fool, but she realized it later and could not do anything now.

Li Yuanji has long been different from the past. He has been with Li Shimin for many years. With Li Yuan's protection, his power is far from comparable to Pingyang, who has been away from the court for many years.

There was a ridiculous unspoken rule in the Tang Dynasty. Li Yuan was a big court, the crown prince and the king of Qin were a small court, and Li Yuanji was a smaller court. They lacked communication with each other, and some contradictory instructions often arose.

For example, Li Yuan had an old friend on a whim today and appointed an old friend as the prefect of Xingyang. Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin and Li Yuanji knew that the prefect of Xingyang was vacant and ordered his confidants to fill this position. Because Li Yuan's ignorance and protection of the calf, Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin and Li Yuanji had independent power, resulting in the situation of four orders being issued together.

This made local officials very confused. Looking at the four different instructions, should we listen to Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, or Li Yuanji?

According to common sense, the order issued by Li Yuan was called an imperial edict, and the order of the crown prince was called an imperial edict. Li Shimin and Li Yuanji were second, and their orders were the teaching orders. The imperial edicts were naturally greater than the imperial edict, and the imperial edict was naturally better than the teaching orders.

However, this situation did not exist during the Wude period, because Li Yuan was too protective of his three sons and treated his three sons equally, forming a situation of division of imperial power.

Li Shimin and Li Yuanji's teachings could even be compared with Li Yuan's decree. So much so that local officials formed a tacit understanding, no matter who gave the order, they would listen to whom they arrived first. Li Yuanji's teachings were first passed on, so the later arrival of the crown prince's decree and even the emperor's decree symbolized by supreme power were all nonsense.

Faced with this situation, Li Yuan could not have known it, but he ignored it.

It has to be said that Li Yuan is a contradictory body. It is true that he is talented and powerful. As the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan's achievements and abilities are beyond doubt. However, it is not a waste of time to say that he is stupid and incompetent. Compared with the founding emperors with many talented and powerful strategies, he does have shortcomings in many places: he likes fishing and is keen on being a hand-off manager, and distributes power to his three sons because of excessive protection of the calf, causing chaos in the court system and even affecting the prestige of the emperor.

So no matter what later generations think about Li Shimin's launch of the Xuanwu Sect Incident, it is a commendation or a criticism, but one thing is recognized.

The source of the tragedy of Xuanwu Gate lies in Li Yuan. His excessive protection of the calf caused various problems, which led to the tragic change of Xuanwu Gate.

Luo Shixin saw that Pingyang was in a bad mood and didn't know how to persuade him. Seeing that there were two powerful bows hanging in the house, he immediately said, "I think this city's economy is pretty good. If Liu Can was taught a lesson because of the incident that year, he could make a mistake. After all, it would be difficult to pursue the past. If he still did not repent, it would not be difficult to catch him. Even if he had the protection of the King of Qi? Get all his iron evidence and leave it to His Majesty for handling. With your and my strength, I am afraid that a prefect cannot be cured? Since I have come out, I don't have to hurry back. Although it is winter, the weather has not turned cold yet, and it is just the last day of the best hunting season. Near Funiu Mountain north of this city is a natural hunting place. It is better to let go of all unpleasant things and have fun, so that the princess can see my archery skills."
