After Yang Guang's review of the army ended, Wang Junlin didn't want to stay in Huaiyuan Town for a moment, because he almost knew the end of the million-strong army here, if no accident happened, or if Yang Guang didn't wake up halfway, the ending here was doomed, and now the only one who could change the overall situation might be him.

But before leaving, he wanted to see someone, and that was Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang.

Because of Li Xuanba's relationship, for more than a year, Wang Junlin and Li Yuan have maintained a good correspondence contact, and they also have gifts for each other during the New Year's holidays.

Wang Junlin even knew that Li Yuan had not had a good life for more than a year, which could be described as twists and turns.

Originally, Li Yuangui was the Duke of Tang Guo, and it was one of the most prominent branches of the Li family in Longxi, which can be said to be the world instead of Ying, Li Yuan's grandfather used to be the governor of Shangzhu and Anzhou, Li Yuan was originally the same as Wang Junlin, he was a county guard, and Yang Guang was a cousin, and Li Yuan was also very good at being a person, and he was capable, and he was trusted by Yang Guang, and the relationship between them was also very close.

But just half a year ago, a rumor suddenly came out of nowhere, to be precise, it was a nursery rhyme: the law exists, the morality is there, the white flag of heaven goes out of the East China Sea, peach and plum, Mo Langyu, Huang Que flies around the mountain, Wan Zhuan Garden, Peach Garden, Wan Zhuan belongs to the clan. Peach and plum, magpie around Yangshan, like a flower forest. Mo Langyu, who said yes. Plum plant, Hong Tai around Yang Mountain. Jiangnan Yang flail tree, Jiangbei Li stubble. Yang Flails Fei Mian He Shiyang, Li Stubble Fruit Naturally.

Who is Yang Guang, he is extremely suspicious, and someone is secretly fueling the troubles, so for more than a year, Yang Guang has tried his best to fight the Li family.

The officials of the Li clan in Longxi were dismissed one after another, and the forces in the army were almost eliminated, and as one of the most important branches of the Li clan in Longxi, Li Yuan, who was the Taishou of a county, was not spared, and was directly demoted to a six-rank petty official by Yang Guang at once.

Fortunately, Li Yuan is a very good official and a person, and he has a wide range of contacts in the DPRK and China, and spent a lot of money to dredge up the relationship, and went to Luoyang to find Yang Guang to cry again, Yang Guang gradually regained his trust in him, and it took a few months to gradually restore his official character.

Li Yuan seized the opportunity of this expedition to Goguryeo, and tried to find a way to be responsible for the dispatch of the army's grain and grass, and because he was indeed very capable, good at employing people, and there were many capable officials under his hands, Yang Guang was very satisfied with the army's grain and grass in an orderly manner.

As soon as this nursery rhyme appeared, Wang Junlin ordered it to go down, and the intelligence organizations belonging to the Blue Guard Mansion and the Martial Arts Guild secretly investigated, and finally the spearhead was pointed at the Hongnong Yang family, and it made logical sense for Wang Junlin.

Hongnong Yang's Yang Su and Yang Xuangan's father and son have been planning rebellion for many years, and Wang Junlin knows about this matter, and Yang Guang has always been on guard against Hongnong Yang's family.

Wang Junlin knew that this nursery rhyme was conceived by Yang Su, who faked his death, and wanted to divert Yang Guang's attention, and Hongnong Yang and Longxi Li had a deep grudge, and just used this nursery rhyme to hit the Longxi Li family, but Tang Guogong Li Yuan was affected, but unfortunately in the original history, this nursery rhyme finally became a fact, and the Great Sui World was really obtained by Li Yuan's father and son, which also made this nursery rhyme spread through the ages.

Without waiting for Wang Junlin to take the initiative to visit, a guard came in to report that Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Guo, wanted to see him.

Wang Junlin hurriedly walked out and personally welcomed Li Yuan in, and after the two greeted politely, Li Yuan thanked Wang Junlin for taking care of Li Xuanba, Wang Junlin said a few words modestly, and the two fell silent.

After a moment of silence, the two of them met their eyes again, and sighed at the same time.

When Wang Junlin saw Li Yuan's appearance, he thought to himself that this historical Tang Gaozu was really an understanding person, and I am afraid that his understanding of the current situation of the Great Sui is not much worse than that of him, a person who is a later generation.

In Li Yuan's heart, Wang Junlin is the most powerful kind of person in the world, a real hero, and his mind is naturally high, so he has nothing to say, at this time, seeing Wang Junlin's expression, he suddenly understood that the general trend of the world Wang Junlin is also in his heart, so Li Yuan shook his head and smiled bitterly, as if he had a thousand words and didn't know where to start.

After pondering for a moment, Li Yuan asked in a low voice: "Qin Angong, do you know that since the Wei and Jin dynasties, the government of all dynasties has been controlled by some big families. It is always very difficult for people who have no roots and no foundation to get ahead? ”

Wang Junlin didn't expect Li Yuan to start with this sentence, he just nodded and didn't answer.

Li Yuan sighed and continued: "The so-called wealthy families refer to those who have been excellent members of the family and have protégés from the old Manchu Dynasty. Shandong has five surnames: Wang, Cui, Lu, Li, and Zheng, while Guanzhong has six surnames: Wei, Pei, Liu, Xue, Yang, and Du. Coupled with the current Yuwen family, the remaining Xie family, Wang family, Chen family, etc., there are only 20 in total. The world takes pride in associating with them, and these families often collude with each other to gain power. The emperors of all dynasties know that the family is not the blessing of the society, but the emperors of the past dynasties have no way to solve it, and now His Majesty seems to be strong and arbitrary, but in fact, the Great Sui is still the family in power!"

With Li Yuan's cautious behavior, he talked to this extent, and even said big rebellious words, obviously he was ready to have a heart-to-heart conversation with Wang Junlin, and Wang Junlin even faintly guessed that Li Yuan was here today.

"And those who are elected to be officials are either the sons of this family or the nephews of that family. These fellows are not good at governing the place, but they are the one who brings harm to the people. But the emperor can't do anything about them, because he often moves his whole body with one hair. Li Yuan shook his head, saying that he was very dissatisfied with the current situation, but in fact, he was also a member of the family.

"The Great Sui Dynasty is about to be hollowed out by these guys, but the emperor doesn't know it yet. His Majesty the Emperor likes to hear praise and show off his martial prowess. Just like this expedition to Liao, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have been planning under the leadership of His Majesty for more than two years, but in fact, no one has opened their eyes to pay attention to the terrain of Liaodong, and no one has thought about what kind of consequences it will bring to the Great Sui if they are defeated. ”

Wang Junlin's expression was calm, he still just nodded, he knew that Li Yuan was testing himself by saying these words, so he motioned for Li Yuan to continue.

And Li Yuan saw that Wang Junlin's expression did not change in the slightest, and he immediately understood in his heart that he had not guessed wrong, and the situation and internal problems of the Great Sui in the other party's heart were like a mirror, perhaps more profound than what he knew.

Now that the words have been said here, Li Yuan naturally wanted to finish his words, so he continued: "The wealthy family uses all their minds on how to benefit the family, and there is no court and His Majesty in their eyes, let alone the people and the country, and they don't pay attention to morality."

Speaking of this, Li Yuan shook his head, his face full of helplessness.
