Chapter 258 Youzhou Tongfu
And what he could think of, how could Li Shimin not think of?
Li Shimin's furrowed brows at this moment already spoke volumes.
The main reason is that Li Jiancheng was reincarnated and used a secret technique from another race, leaving him with only one life.
If we start counting from the time of their death.
If Li Jiancheng were heading to Linyu Pass, he would probably have already arrived there by now.
Once Li Jiancheng opens the gates and allows the alien races to invade, then for them...
This is absolutely terrible news.
at the same time.
Youzhou Tongfu.
Just as Li Shimin had predicted, Li Jiancheng, after his reincarnation, had already arrived in Tongfu, Youzhou, where Li Yi was.
Li Yi only learned of his master Li Jiancheng's arrival after being informed by his servants.
They rushed into the lobby in a hurry.
Upon entering the hall, one could see Li Jiancheng sitting in the main seat with a gloomy face.
"Your Highness."
Li Yi stepped forward and bowed to Li Jiancheng.
"No need for such formalities."
Li Jiancheng's expression improved considerably after seeing Li Yi.
He was fairly satisfied with his capable subordinate.
"Your Highness, do you... only have one life left?"
Li Yi tentatively spoke to Li Jiancheng.
He had known for a long time that Li Jiancheng had colluded with foreign tribes, plotted a rebellion, and killed Prince Qin, Li Shimin.
But for him...
Even if you've already followed along and suddenly realize your mistake and stop following, will Li Shimin think that way?
will not.
Clearly, he has no choice but to continue down this dark path.
I pray that Li Jiancheng will succeed.
Otherwise, colluding with foreign tribes has always been a crime that could lead to the extermination of nine generations of one's family.
If he fails, the consequence for him and his entire family will be beheading.
Once successful, they will enjoy endless wealth and honor, and the glory of being a benefactor to the emperor.
Given such benefits.
Even Li Yi had no choice but to follow Li Jiancheng completely.
Furthermore, he and Li Shimin had long been enemies, and the latter would never tolerate him.
Li Jiancheng had said this before.
He once practiced a secret technique of mountains and seas, and had three chances to reincarnate.
In other words, it means having three lives.
However, each time someone is killed, they can be reborn, but once the number exceeds three times, they can be reborn.
They will be annihilated and never be reborn.
Li Jiancheng had already said at that time that he would come to Youzhou when he was reincarnated for the third time.
When things reached that point, it became a situation where the two of them had no choice but to rise up in rebellion.
At that moment, Li Jiancheng arrived at his side.
Clearly, he only had one life left.
"Um."
Li Jiancheng nodded, his expression somewhat gloomy.
"Has Prince Qi, Li Yuanji, come over recently?"
Li Yuanji, like him, cultivated the secret arts of mountains and seas.
However, Li Jiancheng gave the other party a damaged version.
Li Jiancheng had three lives, while Li Yuanji only had two.
However, not long ago, Li Shimin beheaded one of them at Xuanwu Gate. Now, the two are practically inseparable, each with only one life left.
"Never."
Li Yi shook her head.
Where could he go?
Li Jiancheng frowned. Could it be that he went to Li Yuan's side?
Li Yuan and Li Yi were both governors of Youzhou.
Li Yuan was even a member of the Li Tang imperial family and the Prince of Lujiang.
In terms of the preciousness of her status alone, Li Yuan surpasses Li Yi.
"Your Highness, could it be that Prince Qi went to Li Yuan's side?"
Li Yi asked tentatively.
He was Li Jiancheng's confidant, while Li Yuan was the confidant of Prince Qi, Li Yuanji.
Both of them served as governors of Youzhou.
It's just that one person is in charge of the outer town, and the other is in charge of the inner town.
"Perhaps."
Li Jiancheng waved his hand, clearly unwilling to say more.
Li Yuanji was not unaware of his plan.
Although Li Jiancheng doesn't know where the other party is hiding, he is certain that the other party is still alive, just like him.
As long as you're alive, there's no problem.
"It's time to raise an army in a few days."
Li Jiancheng spoke slowly.
"So fast?"
Upon hearing this, Li Yi was immediately startled.
According to his calculations, it might be some time before the uprising began, but he never expected that Li Jiancheng would want to start a rebellion so soon.
wrong.
It shouldn't be called a rebellion.
Instead, they wanted to reclaim what belonged to them.
Li Jiancheng was the eldest son of the legitimate wife, and the throne should rightfully belong to him.
If it weren't for the fact that Li Shimin posed such a great threat...
Why would Li Jiancheng risk engaging in communication with those foreign tribes?
"it is good."
Li Yi nodded emphatically, her heart pounding wildly.
Next.
The time has come to see who will prevail.
Whether it leads to great wealth and honor or a descent into hell, the answer will soon be revealed.
"Oh, right, when the time comes, turn on the switch and let the alien race in."
Li Jiancheng sat in the main seat and seemed to have thought of something, then spoke to Li Yi.
"switch?"
Upon hearing this, Li Yi was stunned for a moment, and then hesitated.
"Your Highness, opening the gates to release foreign races is a matter of utmost importance. Shouldn't we reconsider?"
Li Yi spoke with some concern.
Although he knew that Li Jiancheng had always had close exchanges with the ethnic minorities from the mountains and seas beyond the Great Wall, these were ultimately just exchanges.
But if Li Jiancheng were to open the gates and allow those alien races to invade, he would truly become a sinner for all time.
It means that the people suffer and society is in turmoil.
Even if Li Jiancheng successfully ascended the throne, historical records would still document his tyranny and his collusion with foreign tribes to harm the people.
Li Yi was eager to contribute to the cause of the emperor's success.
However, there are still some disagreements about this matter.
"What, you're not listening to me anymore?"
Upon hearing Li Yi's words, Li Jiancheng narrowed his eyes, a hint of coldness flashing within them.
He clearly hadn't expected this from his trusted confidant.
They actually contradicted me to my face.
"Your Highness, please forgive me, but this matter is indeed of utmost importance. Have you considered how the historical records will describe you if you were to actually open the gates?"
Li Yi forced herself to speak again.
I want to try and persuade the other party.
"It's alright."
Li Jiancheng waved his hand, then chuckled.
"History? Have you ever heard that history is written by the victors?"
"Once I ascend the throne, will those historians dare to record anything?"
Upon hearing this, Li Yi wavered somewhat, but her conscience still made her hesitate.
Since ancient times.
The practice of opening up the gates and allowing foreign invasions to occur only once before, during the Northern and Southern Dynasties period.
At that time, the entire land of China was filled with cries of agony, the people were living in misery, and countless people were used as food by foreign invaders.
Such a tragic scene is clearly recorded in history books, and the generals who opened the gates were even nailed to the pillar of shame.
Li Yi was still somewhat unwilling about this matter.
In his view.
Rebellion is considered a minor matter.
The two sides simply had different stances, each supporting their own prince to ascend the throne and thus gain merit in the process.
But once the switch is turned on and alien invasions are allowed, things completely change.
What was once considered a minor affair for the Royal Group has now become a heinous crime.
Li Jiancheng spoke lightly; he ascended the throne and became emperor, so the historians naturally dared not record it.
But what about Li Yi?
