Chapter 1257: Exchanging a son for a nephew

Li Yuanfang gritted his teeth, stood up, hugged his fist to Yuwen, and said loudly: "Marshal Yuwen, Yuan Fang is grateful to you for your adoption and promotion over the years, but this matter is a family matter of my Li family, Yuan Fang is deeply ashamed, if the marshal is your kindness to Yuan Fang, and expose the scars in Yuan Fang's heart like this, although Yuan Fang is a junior, he also has his own dignity, so he can only leave." ”

Yuwen Shu laughed: "Yes, yes, young people have the momentum and blood of young people." I summoned you here today not to talk about anything else, but some old things related to your Li family, and I want to tell you about them. ”

Yuwen said this, and said to a few maids and guards standing on the side: "Wait and retreat first, Yuan Fang is not an outsider, the old man has something to discuss with him, you close the gate, stay outside the courtyard, and don't allow idlers to approach." ”

Several guards and maidservants withdrew from the hall, and the already empty hall seemed even more empty, Li Yuanfang Qi said: "Marshal Yuwen, how did you know about the affairs of our Li family?" ”

Yuwenshu said coldly: "The relationship between the old man and Li Hun, you should know, my Yuwenshu's wife Li is Li Hun's sibling sister, and my third son Yu Wenshi and, and the daughter born to the supreme beloved daughter Princess Nanyang, is married to Li Hun's son Li Min as his wife, our two families, can be described as close to each other, and even the old man doesn't want to hide it from you today, when your Li family lost the title of Duke of Shenguo, it was also the result of the conspiracy between the old man and Li Hun. ”

Li Yuanfang was so shocked that he took two steps back, he lost his father since he was a child, and he lost his title, which can be described as helpless, if it were not for Yu Wenshu's acceptance. I'm afraid that he will be dead for a long time. Regarding the matter of his uncle Li Hun taking away his family's title. He has always been indignant, but he is helpless, but today he found out that all this was actually a conspiracy between Li Hun and Yu Wenshu, how could he not be indignant?

Li Yuanfang froze and said in a deep voice to Yuwenshu: "Marshal Yuwen, may I ask what is going on?" Yuan Fang only remembers that when I was eight years old, my home was raided by thieves. My parents were killed by thieves, and later after investigation, the person who killed my father was Li Qutan, a relative of the same clan, and then after the court discussion, on the grounds that I was too young, and the family had a scandal of cannibalism, my father's title of Duke of Shenguo was transferred to Li Hun, the cousin of General Zuo Wuwei at the time. ”

Yu Wenshu sighed: "This matter is also when the old man used to be friends with Li Hun. Listen to himself when he is drunk. Afterwards, the old man also secretly investigated, and these things can be said to be true, and there is no lie. Originally, these secrets should not be told by the old man, but the old man has been in poor spirits since he was dismissed, a few days ago the old man's long-time colleague General Yu Zhongwen Yu, also because he was imprisoned for his crimes, was seized of military power, although the Supreme opened the net and released him, but he couldn't swallow this breath, and soon died of depression. ”

"In the general's mood, the old man is empathetic, since the beginning of winter, I only feel that the spirit is worse day by day, and I often feel in a trance, producing some hallucinations. In the matter of taking away your family's title back then, although the old man was not the mastermind, he also played a disgraceful role, so he felt that the gods were at a loss afterwards, and in order to pursue inner peace, he has been raising you as his own son and nephew, just to atone for his sins. Now that you have grown up and have a military position, the old man just wants to tell you the truth about this matter before he dies, so that you don't forget the hatred and grievances of the family! ”

Li Yuanfang's teeth were gritted, his hands had been tightly clenched into two fists, his bones were ringing, his eyes were wide open, and he said in a deep voice: "Yuanfang listens to the teachings of the marshal!" ”

Yuwenshu nodded, and said slowly: "Things have to start with your great-grandfather, Li Mushi, the founding general of the Western Wei Dynasty, Li Mu is at home, is the third son, has two brothers Li Xian and Li Yuan, and Li Mu is the most promising, followed Yuwentai into the Guanzhong, fought in the south and the north, and made many military exploits, and afterwards gave him one of the twelve Wei generals who founded the Western Wei Dynasty, he has more than a dozen sons, not from one wife, and there will be contradictions when there are many sons. ”

"Li Hun is the concubine born to Li Mu's stepwife, his status is not high, and he has not been favored by Li Mu since he was a child, after the death of Yuwentai, the powerful minister Yuwen Hu dictatorship, Li Mu's second brother Li Yuan's son Li Zhi, because of the secret discussion of the coup d'Γ©tat with Dugu Xin and Zhao Gui, the two founding pillars, killed Yuwen Hu, the matter was revealed, Li Yuan's father and son were destroyed, and Li Mu was spared because he had persuaded Li Yuan not to be led away by his son."

Li Yuan's family was wiped out, and his youngest son, that is, Li Zhi's younger brother Li Ji, was also sentenced to the execution ground, and Li Yuan's family was about to die, and Li Mu was persuaded by his eldest son Li Dan, in order to survive the incense of his brother's family, Shangshu Yuwen Protection, and was willing to use his two sons to die on behalf of Li Ji. This practice shocked the world, and even the ruthless Yuwen Hu was moved by Li Mu's family affection, thus pardoning Li Ji's capital crime. left a vein of incense for Li Yuan's family. ”

Li Yuanfang was dumbfounded when he heard this, he didn't know anything about these ancestral things because he lost his father since he was a child, he hooked the corners of his mouth and said, "Does great-grandfather really want to exchange two sons for a nephew?" Didn't the son who was changed hate him to death? ”

Yu Wenshu smiled slightly: "Yes, at that time, Li Mu wanted to hand over the two sons, one of them was Li Hun, and the other was Li Hun's sibling brother Li Xiong, maybe Li Mu felt that these two children were still young, and it was not a pity to die, plus he had more sons, and two less was the same as two less kittens and puppies, it was not a pity." But he didn't expect that Li Hun and Li Xiong, who would hate him for the rest of their lives, let alone the eldest son Li Dian who came up with this idea, that is, your grandfather! ”

Li Yuanfang gritted his teeth: "No wonder Li Hun and Li Xiong have always hated our family so much, it turns out that this beam was formed from here." However, as soon as he thought about it, his grandfather made such a proposal back then, and he was Li Hun, and he couldn't stand it, and if he wanted to say that this Liang Zi was knotted, it was more due to his own family, so he had to keep his mouth shut.

Yu Wenshu nodded and said: "So these paternal grievances have continued to your descendants, your grandfather Li Dian died of illness before Li Mu, so after Li Mu's death, his title of Duke of Shenguo was passed on to you Ah Da Li Yun, the original grievances between Li Hun and Li Dian have been added to the interests of this title, which can be said to be a deeper layer."
