By May, Huang Mingyuan was focused on planning to open a new subject to get scholars, but unexpectedly something happened that disrupted the court's attention. On May 10th, Shen Guogong Li Jun passed away.
Originally, this could only be a piece of news, but it soon turned into a storm.
If Li Jun died normally, this matter would not matter. However, Li Jun was assassinated by thieves who broke into the house, which caused a great stir inside and outside the court.
Although Shen Guogong Li Jun was not an important minister, and he only had the empty post of a right-guard general who inspected the school, his status was too special.
As the head of the Shen Kingdom Palace, he has an identity and status that is not weaker than that of the prime minister.
When the Duke of Shen was at his most prominent, his power overshadowed both the government and the public. Duke Li Muguan of Shen State worshiped the Grand Master, and all his descendants, even those who were still in their infancy, worshiped him as Yitong. There were more than a hundred of his descendants in his family holding elephant scepters and serving as officials. The Duke of Shen's Mansion had the Alchemy Certificate, and Li Mu's wealth was unparalleled at the time. Even Yang Jian could only treat him generously.
As the grandson of Li Mu, Li Jun is naturally the leader of the Guanlong family, and he has a very important voice within the Guanlong family.
Although after Li Mu's death, Yang Jian and Yang Guang's father and son continued to weaken the power and status of the Li family, the Duke of Shen still had a transcendent status in the Sui Dynasty. Therefore, the death of the current generation Shen Guogong is enough to cause a great disturbance inside and outside the court.
Huang Mingyuan knew that Li Jun died in the middle of the night and almost before dawn. Lu Zhen didn't care that Huang Mingyuan was resting and woke Huang Mingyuan up.
Because of the hostile relationship between the Li family and Huang Mingyuan, Lu Zhen arranged for a large number of Beidou personnel to lurk in the Li family.
Hearing that Li Jun died suddenly, Huang Mingyuan was still in a daze. Historically, Li Jun died in the fourth year of Renshou. Later, he was fine, and Huang Mingyuan thought it would never happen again. Unexpectedly, although his butterfly wings extended Li Jun's life by two years, he still died unexpectedly.
Everyone in the Li family had a bad relationship with Huang Mingyuan in most of the previous affairs, and they all gritted their teeth when mentioning Huang Mingyuan. Only Li Jun took the initiative to show goodwill to Huang Mingyuan and actively repaired the relationship between the Li family and Huang Mingyuan. Therefore, in the past two years, Huang Mingyuan and Li Jun had a good relationship and had contact with each other.
Today Li Jun died suddenly, and Huang Mingyuan was really unexpected.
Although Lu Zhen reported that it was still unclear who the assassin was, Huang Mingyuan¡¯s first reaction was Li Hun. After all, it was Li Hun who assassinated Li Yun in history.
Li Jun¡¯s death seemed to have no impact on him. How could he still express his condolences at night, so Huang Mingyuan went back to rest. But lying on the bed, Huang Mingyuan kept thinking about the impact of Li Jun's death, and he was tossing and turning and unable to sleep.
Li Jun is not only himself, but also represents the accumulation of strength of the Li family for more than half a century, with huge energy. After Li Jun's death, whoever becomes the successor of the Li family's power will immediately become a very important figure in the court.
Thinking of this, Huang Mingyuan was tossing and turning and had difficulty falling asleep, so he urgently called Chen Yuan to come and inquire.
Chen Yuan¡¯s family has been living in the Huang Mansion, so Chen Yuan arrived not long after. He was shocked when he heard Huang Mingyuan talking about the death of Shen Guogong Li Jun. To kill a high-status prince in such a direct way is probably not the case in the entire Sui Dynasty.
Chen Yuan said: "My lord, Li Jun's death is very strange."
Huang Mingyuan nodded and said: "I originally thought it was an internal strife within the Li family, but now it seems that it may not be just that."
Chen Yuan hurriedly asked: "Why does the Lord think it is an internal strife in the Li family?"
Huang Mingyuan said: "I know a little bit about the Li family's affairs. Li Jun is a very scheming person and has a long-term vision. He is very aware of the current situation of the Li family, so he hopes to make things worse through reforms within the family. The defeated Li family was reborn. Externally, he united all the Guanlong families, and at the same time turned many enemies into friends, including me. Internally, he continued to promote talents with low family backgrounds, and at the same time strictly enforced clan rules and restrained the clan members. In the past two years, Although the Li family is not as high-profile as before, it has added a lot of strength through innovation. Of course, Li Jun's reforms have violated the rights of many members of the family. His cousin Li Qutan once publicly accused Li Jun's behavior of Due to the chaos in the government, many well-known people in the Li family united to resist Li Jun. However, in the past two years, Li Jun has formed alliances within the family, severely suppressing the status of a group of family elders, and reducing the family status to Most of the rights were taken into his own hands.
I used to think that someone in his family was dissatisfied with Li Jun's actions, so he took the opportunity to assassinate Li Jun, but after thinking about it carefully, I always felt that it was not the case. Assassinating a prince is no small matter.We are not afraid that the court will find the murderer. Besides, what if Li Jun is killed? Can the Li family still decide on the candidate for the new Duke? "
Chen Yuan nodded and asked, "How do you want to deal with this matter, my lord?"
Huang Mingyuan thought for a while and said: "I haven't decided whether to intervene in this matter. The Li family has a lot to do with me. If I take action, there will be advantages and disadvantages."
At this time, Chen Yuan quickly said: "My lord, please don't interfere in the end."
"Why is this?"
Chen Yuan said: "According to my lord's analysis, I am worried that this matter has something to do with the emperor." Huang Mingyuan just thought that this was a bit ridiculous. Historically, it was a matter that Li Hun and Yu Wenshu discussed. Then he suddenly discovered that what Chen Yuan said was not necessarily true. It doesn't make sense.
"If it was Li Hun alone, no matter how crazy he was, how could he dare to assassinate the head of the family openly, and then successfully obtain the title of Duke of Shen?
Li Hun must have received a promise or support before he dared to do such a thing.
Huang Mingyuan suddenly felt that this matter had something to do with Yang Guang.
At this time, Chen Yuan said again: "My lord, Li Jun's approach may be beneficial to the Li family, but for the emperor, he does not want another Li family to have a grand master. The stronger the cohesion of the Guanlong family, the more uneasy the emperor will be. , only a divided Guanlong family and a divided and increasingly declining Li family are what the emperor wants to see."
Huang Mingyuan didn't speak, but he already agreed with Chen Yuan's statement.
At the fifth watch of the day, it was almost morning time, Lu Zhen suddenly led someone to Huang Mingyuan, it was Li Jie who had not seen him for a long time.
After Li Jie heard that Li Jun was dead, he was very frightened. After all, he had seen Li Jun tonight, so he didn't have to be regarded as the murderer. After thinking about it, Li Jiesi decided to go to Huang Mingyuan for help.
When he saw Huang Mingyuan, Li Jie did not hide anything and told him one by one the obscure things he had done for Li Jun when he met with Li Jun today.
After hearing this, Huang Mingyuan didn't say much, but in his heart he felt that Li Jun was too conceited. He was afraid that his every move had been monitored, and even the servants around him might be bribed. How could he not die in this case? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
