Chapter 144: Travel to Liangzhou (1)(2/2)
After the crowd greeted each other, Luo Xiaoyao looked at Zhe Yuxun, "Where are the two benefactors going?"
"Liu hasn't gone to the prefecture for a long time to meet Lord Taishan..."
"Brother-in-law..."
Before Liu Jiye finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhe Yuxun. Luo Xiaoyao thought, "Is there any inconvenience between Liu Engong?"
Before Liu Jiye could answer, Zhe Yuxun said, "My uncle is in danger, Yuxun takes his brother-in-law to rescue him..."
The uncle in Zhe Yuxun's mouth was undoubtedly Zhe Deshou, and Luo Xiaoyao was shocked, "Oh? What's wrong with Brother Zhe?"
"When my uncle went to visit the admired person... I was unfortunately captured."
Luo Xiaoyao heard Zhe Deshou say that day that there was a woman who admired her, but he didn't know what she was. He heard this and said, "Can you tell me the details?"
Zhe Yuxun looked at Liu Jiye with a wry smile on his face and said to Luo Xiaoyao: "There is a fort six miles ahead, which is where the troops under his brother-in-law's jurisdiction are stationed. You can sit at the fort and Rong Yuxun tells you..."
When Luo Xiaoyao heard this, he turned his head and looked at Mu Daocheng behind him. But when he saw Mu Daocheng nodding, he said to Zhe Yuxun: "Okay, please Zhe Engong lead the way..."
After a while, everyone came to a yard of earthen houses in the fort. After greeting everyone, Zhe Yuxun told him to take the blame.
"My uncle has a woman whom he admires, named Li Minxue. She is the daughter of Li Jinchuan, the governor of Yinzhou. She is also the niece of Li Yiyin, the governor of Dingnan Army. She is the niece of Li Yiyin's army... It is because of Li Yiyin's opposition that he failed to get along with his uncle."
"But she and her uncle have a deep affection. One doesn't want to marry another, and the other doesn't want him to marry. Every year on the full moon in the middle of the autumn, my uncle will go to Yinzhou to meet her secretly."
"The uncle went to Jiangling Prefecture to assassinate the Liao envoy two years ago, but he missed the meeting time. Last year, because his grandfather was seriously ill, he went to Shanzhou to accompany him and missed the day of meeting again."
"My month ago, my uncle and I returned from Bianjing and settled in an inn in Suizhou. But I found that the proprietress in the inn was a familiar person and recognized her as a maid next to Miss Li's."
"My uncle asked about Miss Li's recent situation... I realized that in the late autumn of the previous year, Miss Li married Gezhi, a noble family member in Liangzhou, under the pressure of her parents..."
"Ah?!" Lin Wanzhen was surprised and wondered, "Why is this? I think the daughter of the Li family should be separated from Brother Zhe for a certain period of time... Could it be that his parents had never forced her to marry another before?"
"Li Jinchuan and his wife had forced her to marry someone else before, but the Li family refused to die. But this time, her mother forced her to die. With her father's persuasion, the Li family agreed with hatred..."
"The land of Liangzhou was called the Central Plains court ruler after the Huang Peril chaos, but the real power was in the hands of the local powerful and powerful tribes. These powerful people recommended their leaders and asked to grant official positions in the court. However, there were Tubo, Uighurs, Dangxiang and other tribes living together. If it were not for the prestigious people, it would be difficult to convince the public."
"In the second year of Guangshun, there were civil strife in Liangzhou. Seeing that the situation was difficult to control, the former Jiedushi asked Emperor Taizu to send generals and officials to take over as Jiedu, hoping to use the power of the Central Plains court to suppress the chaos."
"But Shen Shihou, the governor of Hexi, had no ability to appease conflicts among all ethnic groups, and was unfair to deal with things, which aroused opposition from the heroes of Liangzhou and fled back to Kaifeng the year before yesterday. At that time, the emperor used troops to the Northern Han Dynasty, but there was no capable person to use it, so he had to put the matter of Liangzhou first, and wait for them to choose local prestigious people as the leaders, and then he would like to appease the commission."
"However, when Li Yiyin saw the civil strife in Liangzhou, he thought he wanted to take the opportunity to take over the power of Liangzhou, but he sent Miss Li to the Tubo tyrant to the Gezhi. Miss Li naturally refused, but his father said that Liangzhou was named the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it was like a self-established dynasty. He often had strong soldiers to harasse the border of Xiazhou. If she was willing to marry Gezhi, it would make one side stable."
