Chapter 39 Conversation
Li Yu poured himself a cup of tea and drank it, looked at him and smiled, "It's the iron law of our generals' family to make orders like a mountain. If you die, you have to be beaten with a stick before you can collect your body. Rules are rules. If you make a mistake, you have to be punished." Ready to kill."
The voice is not loud, the tone is domineering and unreasonable, but there is iron-blooded cruelty in the eyes.
Du Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, "This is the rule of the capital."
"Civilian officials pay attention to etiquette, military commanders pay attention to military orders like mountains, and they all pay attention to rules. For all first-class top families, the rules of the family must not be wrong. It is better to sacrifice a certain clan member than to tarnish the family style."
Li Yu raised his chin and pursed his lips in a flamboyant smile, "If Miss Lin is a child of my Li family, there will only be one end, sudden death."
Du Yu nodded, "I will also be beaten in my house and be married off by force."
Du Yu is also a person who has studied in a private school seriously. Although he is in business, he has seen the world, not to mention that his family is very close to Linqi. know the rules.
"I'm laughing at you, Miss Lin's family has been exterminated. We must take her to settle her future. This is our responsibility."
Li Yu also spoke frankly and responsibly.
Du Yu's eyes showed admiration. The daughter of General Li acted like a man, with a responsible style, a view of the overall situation and a tolerant heart. The daughter of a family is really extraordinary.
If I were Gu Lei, I would look down on Miss Lin, cowardly and incompetent, selfish and ignorant.
"Is the capital very tragic? I've heard it all over, but the details are not clear."
Mentioning the tragic situation in the capital, Du Yu's face was also a little gloomy. The new emperor's position may be tricky.
Li Yu turned the cup in his hand and didn't answer him for a while.
Du Yu is handsome, elegant and personable. If you don't know the details, you might think that he is also a scholar.
"Miss Li, we are on the same boat. I really want to know the specific situation, so that I can judge which way the Du family should go in the future. I am a merchant and will not hinder you."
Du Yu's voice was not in a hurry.
"It's not that I can't say it. I'm just considering whether it will hurt you if I say it. If you know too many secrets, you will die quickly."
Li Yu put down his teacup and looked at him calmly.
Du Yu personally poured tea for her, "Miss Li, my father and you saved my life. Without you father and daughter, my body would be completely cold. I sincerely want to cooperate with you and the Li family for a long time. I have money and you have contacts, I hope you can give Du a chance."
As the head of the Du family, how could he not understand what the Li family meant by building a ladder?
Outsiders know that the Du family is experiencing some ups and downs, but in fact the situation in the Du family is worse than outsiders expected.
Not only is the general soldier greedy for money, but also merchants from other families frequently try to take advantage of the opportunity to swallow up the Du family. The large amount of wealth and the large amount of money in the shop and estate are too tempting.
Father died, and the forces that were able to protect the Du family in the past were also purged by the new emperor. The rest did not care about the Du family at all, and the one who came here on his own initiative also had a purpose, asking for money.
The Du family became fat overnight, and everyone wanted to swallow him.
Li Yu smiled, propped his chin with his hand, looked at him and teased, "Actually, I also want money, the purpose is the same as theirs, there is no difference."
After speaking, he winked at him.
Du Yu's eyes were calm, no one can touch anyone, and no one can touch anyone to death. There is still some common sense in this.
Li Yu straightened his body and snorted, "It's nothing. The current dog emperor is the eldest prince. He won the throne by usurping power and forcing the palace to launch a coup. After he ascended the throne, he killed all the princes, even the minors. Those who escaped are almost dead now."
"It's cruel enough."
Du Yu gasped, this is not giving any way out.
"Not only that, all those who opposed him were liquidated and retaliated against. The prime minister was killed by his family, and his head was cut off and hung on the city gate."
"Hiss! It's so tragic... My God."
Du Yu took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and guessed that the capital was bleeding like a river by imagination.
It seemed that someone had strangled his neck, unable to breathe, and his heart was heavy like a boulder.
Li Yu lowered his head slightly and turned the teacup with his hands, his brows and eyes drooped, and his slender eyelashes covered the churning emotions in his eyes.
"A few years before his death, the first emperor tried his best to suppress my family and the Gu family and other first-class families, and took back his military power. My father was recalled to the capital by several imperial orders, and he was restrained in the capital and could not move."
"The old emperor was suspicious of you and suppressed you regardless of friendship. This is the reason why the new emperor was able to seize the throne."
Du Yu leaned on the cushion, closed her eyes slightly, and slowly let out a mouthful of turbid air: "Every drink and peck is destiny."
"Yeah, it's God's will. Two years ago, my grandfather felt something was wrong, so someone quietly bought the hilltop from my grandfather's family as a backup, and bought the farm and shop in advance. The Gu family and my family have been life and death friends for many years. And then I made some arrangements.”
"Originally, we just left more roads to prevent future troubles. I didn't expect that the new emperor could not wait to wash the capital with blood as soon as he ascended the throne. As a result, we didn't have time to make complete preparations. When we got the news, we hurriedly sent the clansmen out of the city. My second uncle and aunt died tragically during the process of protecting the clansmen. Brother Zhong was also killed or injured."
Li Yu took a deep breath and continued, "Gu Lei's father, Gu Xin's father, and Grandpa Gu's brothers were all in the same room. Almost all of them were killed in battle. The bodies of my second uncle, uncle Gu third uncle and other important officials in the court were hanged On the gate tower..."
"Enough, stop talking!"
Du Yu suddenly roared, his chest heaved violently, he clenched his fists, his face was flushed, and the veins on his neck burst out.
The Gu and Li families are first-class families with illustrious military exploits and a reputation that spread far and wide. Grandpa Gu was also a powerful general back then.
Brother Li of this generation of the Li family is the most powerful and the most outstanding military general of the dynasty, and even became a famous general. The boss of Li is a tiger, and he is called Li Huo.
Not only the common people worship General Li, but even the emperor and the common people of the enemy country are afraid of Li Huhu.
Nevertheless, the few years before the death of the first emperor was the period when Boss Li was most famous. He was almost invincible, and the common people hailed him as the God of War.
The late emperor began to be afraid of the Li family and the Gu family. The two families had several generations of life-and-death acquaintances, and they had a close relationship in private. From the time Gu Lei's father got married, the late emperor tried to suppress them step by step, making people breathless.
In the end, he insisted on taking back the military power of Boss Li. This is the truth that the Li family had to flee.
Military power cannot be handed over. The lives of hundreds of people in the whole family are in the hands of the late emperor. In a family where relatives are married, the lives of the nine clans are in jeopardy. Boss Li has no choice.
He was ordered to come back and hand over his military power, and chose to kneel at the feet of the emperor, leaving a chance to breathe.
The prime minister cried and said on the day he returned to court, the tiger was crushed, and disaster was imminent for me.
Sure enough, the first emperor passed away suddenly without leaving an imperial decree. In fact, he was poisoned to death slowly.
The late emperor made wrong decisions in his later years, which led to a series of consequences. The tragedy broke out overnight, blood flowed into rivers from the officials in the capital, and corpses littered the fields.
