Jiangmen Tianjiao: Reborn with funny ancestors

The emperor died and the news of King Kang's rebellion quickly spread to Beijing.

No matter how King Kang tried to hide it, anyone with a little bit of judgment would be able to deduce that he was not in the right position.

Li Bochang of Jiaozhou met with a crony sent by King Kang, who presented a secret letter written by King Kang to Li Bochang.

After seeing this, Li Bochang's face turned as black as a drop of ink. He talked secretly with the visitor for a while while burning incense, and then arranged for the visitor to stay in his mansion.

In the evening, Li Kuang returned from his inspection and saw his father sitting alone in the study. He stepped into the study. There was no light in the room and it was very dark. Li Bochang was sitting in the shadows, and Li Kuang heard his heavy breathing.

"Dad, what happened?"

Li Bochang seemed to be awakened, and roared in a hoarse voice: "Shameless!"

Li Kuang intuitively felt that this was definitely not scolding him, so he walked to the desk, opened the lampshade, and lit the wick inside.

The big flame began to jump and gradually became brighter, and Li Kuang put the lampshade back.

He lit other lights in the study one after another, and Li Bochang subconsciously blocked the light with his hands.

"Fourth, is that you?"

Li Bochang was rarely so distracted. Li Kuang realized that something big was going to happen, but he didn't ask. He sat quietly opposite the desk, waiting for Li Bochang to say it himself.

Li Bochang looked at Li Kuang carefully. He had four sons, and Li Kuang was his youngest son.

Seeing his son's increasingly mature face, Li Bochang's annoyance subsided slightly.

As a father, Li Bochang is very pleased that his son has grown up and can now take charge of his own business.

Since Li Kuang returned to Jiaozhou, the war situation in Jiaozhou has undergone some subtle changes.

It snows every year in Jiaozhou, and people in the city love to play in the ice in winter.

Li Kuang collected ice skates from ordinary people and wealthy households at a high price, and asked a blacksmith to make a batch of them, basically collecting 10,000 pairs of ice skates.

Li Kuang selected 10,000 people from the Jiaozhou soldiers. These 10,000 people knew how to play ice. After a few days of training, they were able to move freely on the ice and wield swords in battle.

There was a heavy snowfall a few days ago. Li Kuang led 50,000 soldiers in Jiaozhou and took advantage of the snow to attack the Dongyi military camp at night.

Ten thousand soldiers on ice skates, wearing white robes, lay in ambush in the snow.

The Dongyi troops who were chasing them were killed and caught off guard.

This night attack was quite successful, and the Dongyi people suffered heavy losses. Shangguan Lie had to order to retreat twenty miles to camp.

The Jiaozhou city wall was also doused with water, and it solidified into a thick ice wall overnight.

Except for the city gate, it is already very difficult to attack the city elsewhere.

If he hadn't known that Li Guo was about to be in chaos, Shangguan Lie might have ordered the withdrawal.

The eastern front finally achieved a staged victory. Li Bochang was about to make an appointment with the Quyangguan garrison and Linhai garrison to launch a counterattack when he received a letter from King Kang.

Li Bochang became furious when he thought of the contents of King Kang's letter.

"Fourth, I remember you asked me last year, which one is more important, loyalty to the emperor or patriotism?"

Li Kuang nodded, "Yes, why did dad suddenly think of this?"

This question was actually asked by Chu Tianjiao to Li Kuang, and Li Kuang already had the answer in his mind.

"Fourth, let me tell you, the country is more important than the king. Do you think so too?"

Li Kuang was a little excited. When he asked this question, his father scolded him. Unexpectedly, his father's answer was the same as his.

But what Li Bochang said next confused Li Kuang.

"Fourth, I know you think so too, but no matter what, we should protect ourselves and our families first, are you right?"

Li Kuang was stunned. His father's words sounded right, but they seemed wrong. If he had to protect himself first in everything, then what would a soldier's sacrifice for justice mean?

"Dad, what trouble have you encountered?"

Li Kuang felt that his father would not tell him this without any purpose, and there must be other deep meanings behind it, so he simply asked directly.

Li Bochang took out King Kang's letter from his arms and handed it to Li Kuang.

“Lao Si, King Kang wrote a letter asking me to cooperate with him in the rebellion.

According to time calculation, King Kang should have taken control of Shangjing City at this time. "

After Li Kuang read the letter, he roared: "Is King Kang crazy? Let our Li family army return to defend the capital at this time? Isn't this handing over Jiaozhou to the Dongyi people?"

There was sarcasm in Li Bochang's voice, "Isn't he just crazy? He wants us to stop the Chu family's army from marching north to King Qin, so that we and the Chu family's army can fight each other, but the enemy will be the winner!"

Li Kuang didn't know the relationship between his father and King Kang, so he said firmly: "Father, you must not do it! Even if King Kang ascends the throne, we cannot obey the imperial edict!"

Li Bochang's expression darkened, he leaned back in his chair, struggled for a while and then said: "Fourth, there are some things you may not know.

Our Li family was actually supported by King Kang. "

The light on the desk jumped, and a cold wind seemed to blow in from the crack in the door. Li Kuang felt chilled inexplicably.

"How could it be? Aren't our Li families always loyal to His Majesty?"

Li Bochang had to choose a path for the future of the Li family today. He had been fighting between heaven and man all afternoon. At this time, he needed Li Kuang's advice and judgment, and finally told Li Kuang the biggest secret of the Li family.

"Fourth old man, when the old Marquis Liyang led troops to invade Dongyi, he captured Shangguan Qi, the first emperor of Dongyi, alive.

After Shangguan Qi was escorted back to Shangjing, he was imprisoned in Liyuan.

Do you know who the general is guarding Liyuan? "

Li Kuang shook his head.

Li Bochang said: "That's your grandfather Li Daishan."

This didn't surprise Li Kuang too much. Although he didn't know about this past, he knew that his grandfather was indeed a general of the Forbidden Army.

Li Bochang continued: "Do you know how Shangguan Qi died?"

Li Kuang seemed to have heard something and guessed: "Dead by suicide?"

Li Bochang shook his head, "No, Shangguan Qi was accidentally encountered by Wu Ning Bo Zheng Batian on the way to escape, and was captured and brought back to Shangjing, where he was strangled to death by your grandfather."

Li Kuang guessed that there must be a hidden secret in this, and his expression became serious.

Li Bochang seemed reluctant to mention this past incident.

This was a shame and a hidden danger for the Li family, but he had to tell Li Kuang.

"To put it simply, King Kang reached some kind of agreement with the Dongyi people to help rescue the captured Dongyi first emperor Shangguan Qi.

Your grandfather was bewitched by King Kang. He first opened the door for Shangguan Qi, let Shangguan Qi go, and disguised himself as Dongyi Xizuo to attack Liyuan.

Unexpectedly, Shangguan Qi was captured again.

Your grandfather was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so he simply strangled Shangguan Qi to death.

King Kang helped cover up this matter. He even hid it from the Dongyi people for your grandfather in order to fear that the Dongyi people would settle the score with your grandfather.

Over the years, in order to extinguish the anger of the Dongyi people, King Kang has been cooperating with the Dongyi people, but he has not exposed our Li family.

Your father and I were also introduced to His Majesty by King Kang. "

Li Kuang was greatly shocked when he heard this episode of family shame.

He had always thought that although the Li family had different concepts from the Chu family, they were also loyal and patriotic. Only then did he realize that the rise of the Li family was inherently disgraceful.

Li Kuang's eyes turned red, like a wounded little animal. He asked in a deep voice, "Dad, when you tell me this, you don't mean to really listen to King Kang, do you?"

Li Bochang said sadly: "Over the years, I have tried my best to distance myself from the relationship with King Kang.

Ruiniang next to me was sent by King Kang to monitor me. She has been subdued by me. King Kang has no other reason for me to use except your grandfather.

But if King Kang reveals this matter, not only will the Li family be charged with treason, but the Dongyi people will also fight us to death.

What should I do about your father? "

Li Kuang said stubbornly: "Dad, my grandfather did something wrong at the beginning, are we going to make the same mistake again and again?

Dad, even if you kill me, I will not help others.

If you want to lead the troops back to Beijing, I will defend Jiaozhou alone.

I would rather die under the knife of the Dongyi people than give up Jiaozhou to the Dongyi people! "

Li Bochang had already guessed that his son might make such a decision, and he sighed: "Fourth, don't get excited, we have the advantage in the Jiaozhou battle now, and I don't want to withdraw our troops.

But if I don't withdraw my troops and King Kang announces your grandfather's affairs to the world, the Li family will be charged with treason. "

"Dad, withdrawing our troops at this time is true treason!"

Li Bochang covered his head and murmured: "Let dad think about it again, think about it again!"
