The old man was very happy.

I was shocked to hear that the system had implanted seven Li surnamed generals, including Li Cunxiao and Li Jing, into the Longxi Li family's side branch, and wanted them to come and join him.

Li Xiang was also filled with infinite pride.

Li Cunxiao was the first general of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. In the thousands of years of Chinese history, he was a super general who could rank in the top three.

But he was a man who could compete with the Overlord of Chu, Xiang Yu.

Now that he was implanted as a member of the Li family, he wanted to come and join him, and he was a die-hard loyalist, which made Li Xiang very excited. His right-hand man is here!

Li Jing, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, fought for the Tang Dynasty for decades, destroyed Xiaoliang, defeated Fugongju, destroyed the Eastern Turks, and pacified Tuyuhun. He left many military strategies and even had the talent of a prime minister. He was a great figure who was both a general and a prime minister. He was also loyal to Li Xiang and was loyal to him! He would also be his right-hand man!

Although Li Siye, Li Xiaogong, Li Daozong, Li Guangbi, and Li Sheng were not as good as Li Cunxiao and Li Jing, they were all outstanding talents.

After implanting seven generals with the surname Li, Li Xiang immediately felt that his talents were bursting out.

Apart from these, it was time for three million five-zhu coins and the [Top-grade Jade Liquid Wine Recipe].

At this time, the Li family was establishing a family and needed a lot of money.

Top-grade Jade Liquid Wine is a good wine after system improvement. Li Xiang felt that it should be promising.

Does winemaking consume grain?

Then go for the high-end route!

Earn money from the noble families, take grain from their granaries, and sell it to them.

This will form a virtuous cycle.

In troubled times, grain is especially precious, and even equal to human life.

Li Xiang knows this.

However, the grain of the common people and the grain of the noble families should be distinguished.

Because, the rich have wine and meat, and there are frozen bones on the road.

Even if the grain of the noble families is moldy and rotten, it will not be in the hands of the common people.

Therefore, Li Xiang decided to use the grain in the warehouse of the noble families to make wine to strengthen his family, Li Xiang, but Li Xiang didn't feel bad.

Moreover, the effect of the best jade liquid wine is more than that.

Hearing the system's explanation, this best jade liquid wine also has a strong effect of expelling cold. After a mouthful of it, the whole body is steaming and ecstatic. It makes Li Xiang want to promote the jade liquid wine to the border and even to the foreign races.

After traveling for more than half a year and a winter, Li Xiang felt that the winter in the Han Dynasty was really cold. The weather was cold, and the people lacked thick clothes. It was not uncommon for people to freeze to death.

If this was the case in Liangzhou and Longxi, wouldn't it be even more so for the Qiang, Xianbei, Xiongnu, Wuhuan and other tribes on the grasslands, which were even colder?

If the Jade Liquid Wine, which had a strong effect of dispelling cold and made one feel hot and ecstatic, was sold, it would definitely be snatched. Wouldn't it be possible to use the Jade Liquid Wine to plunder a large number of excellent horses, oxen and fat sheep from other ethnic groups on the grasslands?

Li Xiang was able to smile a little crookedly after obtaining seven famous generals from the Li family, including Li Cunxiao and Li Jing, three million coins, and the good wine [Top Jade Liquid Wine] after the system was improved. His mind was full of imagination.

The Longxi Li family should prosper!

...

The assassination of the queen and the eldest prince caused an uproar in Luoyang.

The court judge and Luoyang ordered a city-wide search for the assassin.

In addition, the people of the court and the Luoyang magistrate stepped up the interrogation of the assassins who were seriously injured by Li Xiang but not dead.

Liu Hong and Queen He Lian did not wait for long before the identity of the assassin surfaced.

After learning the identity of the assassin, Liu Hong was furious and Queen He Lian was furious.

...

The next day.

Luoyang, the imperial palace, Chengde Hall.

Magnificent and majestic.

Liu Hong sat on the dragon throne with a gloomy face, and Queen He Lian sat beside him with a cold face.

Below, Sikong Yuan Feng, Taifu Yuan Wei, Henan Yin He Jin, Da Si Nong Cao Song and other civil and military officials gathered.

The harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, but today the court discussed the assassination of the queen, so the queen also came to the hall.

Similarly, Li Xiang was also arranged at the end of the civil and military officials, wearing a casual uniform, which was extremely dazzling.

The civil and military officials could not help but look at Li Xiang frequently.

Coming to the court for the first time, Li Xiang quietly looked around the hall and the civil and military officials.

Liu Hong's face was gloomy, which made the atmosphere of the whole court depressing.

"The current queen and the eldest prince were assassinated in Luoyang City. They were so audacious and guilty. How are the investigations of the court judge and the Luoyang magistrate? Where is the assassin? Has the assassin been caught?"

Liu Hong's angry voice was so loud that all the civil and military officials could not help but twitch their eyelids and lowered their heads.

Although Liu Hong was incompetent, he had to admit that when the emperor was angry, it was like an earthquake.

The court judge and the Luoyang magistrate trembled.

After looking at each other, they walked out under the gaze of the civil and military officials.

The court judge was a middle-aged man, and he bowed to Liu Hong and said:

"Your Majesty, the court judge's office interrogated the assassins overnight and has found out the identities of the people who assassinated the queen and the eldest prince. The leading assassin is none other than Wang Yue, the imperial guard of the imperial palace. The assassins and swordsmen who were killed were all Wang Yue's disciples. As for Wang Yue, we have not caught him yet!"

The words of the court judge resounded, and the civil and military officials who had bowed their heads all looked up in shock, looking at each other, with disbelief on their faces.

What did they hear?

The person who assassinated the queen and the eldest prince was Wang Yue, the imperial guard of the imperial palace?

Liu Hong was not surprised to hear that the leading assassin was Wang Yue. Obviously, he knew it before going to court. What made Liu Hong angry was that Wang Yue had not been caught yet.

"Waste, a bunch of waste, Wang Yue is injured but not caught yet!"

"My Tiger Guards General personally assassinated the Queen and the eldest prince, what a great job."

Liu Hong was shocked and angry, and cursed.

When Queen He Lian heard that the assassin was Tiger Guards General, she was also trembling with anger.

Luoyang Ling Zhou Yi wiped the cold sweat from his head, hesitated slightly, and said to Liu Hong:

"Your Majesty, although we have not captured Wang Yue, there should be another hidden story!"

"Wang Yue seems to be related to Wang Bao, the General of the Five Officials. I searched several letters in Wang Yue's mansion. They are the correspondence between Wang Yue and Wang Bao. In the letters, Wang Yue called Wang Bao... cousin!"

Luoyang Ling Zhou Yi's hesitant voice sounded, and the court was silent.

The angry Liu Hong and all the civil and military officials calmed down and looked at Zhou Yi. What did they hear?

Wang Yue called Wang Bao...cousin!

Queen He Lian's beautiful eyes suddenly widened as she looked at Zhou Yi.

Li Xiang also looked Zhou Yi up and down, but Li Xiang's focus was different from others.

Luoyang Ling Zhou Yi?

If Li Xiang remembered correctly, this guy seemed to be Zhou Yu's father!

Zhou Yi looked young in his twenties, so Zhou Yu was still a child?

Then Zhou Yu should still be in Luoyang at this time?

Li Xiang's eyes flickered.

But he had some thoughts about Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu should not be very old now, at most only a few years old. If he had a relationship with Zhou Yu in advance, then wouldn't the future beautiful Zhou Lang be reserved by him, Li Xiang, in advance?

But, what kind of relationship should he have with Zhou Yu?

"Wang Bao is Wang Yue's cousin? Zhou Yi, are you sure?"

After coming to his senses, Liu Hong on the dragon throne was even more shocked and angry, and said loudly to Zhou Yi, the governor of Luoyang, with an unbelievable acceptance.

Zhou Yi bowed his hands and said solemnly:

"Your Majesty, every word I said is true. This Wang Yue is indeed Wang Bao's cousin. Although Wang Bao's words are euphemistic in the letter, it is not difficult to see that it was Wang Bao who instructed Wang Yue to assassinate the queen and the eldest prince!"

"Here are the letters!"

As Zhou Yi said this, he took out several letters, and Zhang Rang hurriedly presented them to Liu Hong. After reading them, Liu Hong trembled all over and sat down on the dragon throne.

"Wang Bao actually wanted to assassinate the queen and Bian'er?"

Looking at Liu Hong's appearance, the civil and military officials below knew that this was true, and they were in an uproar and understood the reason for this matter.

This is a palace secret.

Handan, Hebei is rich in beauties.

Concubine Wang was from Handan, Hebei. She was smart, talented, and graceful. She was loved by Liu Hong when she entered the palace. She was promoted from a maid to a beauty.

Liu Hong loved Concubine Wang very much, but was envied by Queen He Lian.

According to rumors, after Concubine Wang gave birth to a son, the second prince Liu Xie, who was just one year old, Queen He Lian was worried that Concubine Wang would endanger her position. After Concubine Wang gave birth to the second prince Liu Xie, she poisoned Concubine Wang.

That was the fourth year of Guanghe, last year!

Wang Bao, the General of the Five Officials, was none other than Concubine Wang's biological father.

If Wang Yue's assassination of the queen and the eldest prince was really assigned by Wang Bao, then everything could be explained.

Queen He Lian and He Jin were both angry, but they seemed to be a little guilty.

However, Queen He Lian still said to Liu Hong:

"Your Majesty, Wang Bao actually wants to kill me and Bian'er. Please, Your Majesty, make a decision for me and Bian'er!"

Listening to Queen He Lian's words, Liu Hong glared at her, but in the end, his face changed for a while, and Liu Hong still said coldly:

"Wang Bao and Wang Yue should never have wanted to kill the queen of a dynasty. My prince deserves death. The court officer, arrest Wang Bao and the Wang family, and arrest Wang Yue!"

"Yes!"

The court officer immediately bowed his hands after hearing this.

Standing behind the civil and military officials, Li Xiang watched what happened in the court.

Seeing that Liu Hong finally chose to attack the Wang family, Li Xiang couldn't help but have a much better impression of Liu Hong.

.

It is undeniable that Liu Hong was incompetent and appointed eunuchs.

However, he was able to take back power from a puppet young emperor, and those ambitious and powerful officials dared to act recklessly until after his death, which shows that Liu Hong was not completely useless.

Queen He Lian felt better when she saw Liu Hong decided to arrest Wang Bao and Wang Yue, but she still said to Liu Hong:

"Your Majesty, since the assassin has been found, you should also reward the meritorious ministers. If it weren't for Li Xiang, I'm afraid that I and the eldest prince would have been killed!"

"Wang Yue is on the run. I heard that Wang Yue is a martial arts master. He once killed the leader of the Qiang people alone in Helan Mountain and took the head of the leader. He became famous all over the world. Wang Yue also served as the Lieutenant General of the Tiger Guards and is familiar with the palace. I am worried that he will be furious and assassinate again."

"Therefore, I ask Your Majesty to let Li Xiang serve as the Lieutenant General of the Imperial Guards to guard the palace!"

"Li Xiang has the merit of saving the emperor. His martial arts are stronger than Wang Yue. He is also the descendant of the former Flying General Li Guang. He should be the Lieutenant General of the Imperial Guards!"

Queen He Lian's voice resounded, and all the civil and military officials were shocked.

What Li Xiang did the Queen want to appoint as the Lieutenant General of the Imperial Guard?

Is this Li Xiang the descendant of Li Guang, the Flying General of the Former Han Dynasty?

All the civil and military officials looked at Li Xiang, who was standing in the back row. He was tall, strong and handsome.

All the civil and military officials looked at Li Xiang, who looked very handsome. After just a moment of silence, they became agitated.

"This young man is actually the descendant of Li Guang! He is really handsome!"

"He saved the Queen and the eldest prince. The Longxi Li family has a successor!"

"Lieutenant General of the Imperial Guard, this man looks like he will soar to the sky!"

"After so many years, has someone from the Li family finally appeared in the court?"

...

In Chengde Hall, as the Queen talked about Li Xiang's contribution to saving the emperor and his origins, the civil and military officials immediately talked about it.

However, most of these discussions were sighs and sighs, and there were not many objections.

In fact, all the civil and military officials had a good impression of Li Guang.

Especially the military generals, who looked at Li Xiang with a friendly look.

Most of them grew up with the deeds and stories of Wei Qing, Huo Qubing and Li Guang.

They admired Wei Qing, Huo Qubing and Li Guang, so they naturally had no ill feelings towards Li Xiang.

They were even very pleased to see Li Guang's descendants appear in the court again.

Queen He Lian breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that all the civil and military officials were very kind to Li Xiang.

There was a reason why she tried her best to help Li Xiang become the Lieutenant General of the Imperial Guard.

On the one hand, it was because of Li Xiang's life-saving grace.

On the other hand, it was because of her good impression of Li Xiang. Li Xiang was a strong martial artist and a commoner. His future was limitless, so he could naturally be won over.

Another reason was that she was really frightened by Wang Yue's assassination and was afraid that Wang Yue would assassinate her again in the future.

She was more relieved that Li Xiang was a strong martial artist and could guard the palace.

Just when all the civil and military officials had no ill will towards Li Xiang and the queen breathed a sigh of relief, Cao Song, one of the Nine Ministers, frowned and looked at Li Xiang.

He had heard of Li Xiang.

When Li Xiang first came to Luoyang, he snatched the most beautiful woman in Hongxinglou from Cao Song's son Cao Cao, which caused a sensation in Luoyang and naturally reached his ears. Moreover, the Cao family was not very happy.

After taking a look at Li Xiang, Cao Song stepped forward and said with his hands clasped:

"Your Majesty, I think it is inappropriate. Although Li Xiang has the merit of saving the emperor and is from the Longxi Li family, he is just a commoner. If he is promoted rashly to the position of Lieutenant General of the Imperial Guard, it will inevitably make the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Guard and the officials dissatisfied."

Cao Song suddenly stood up and refuted. All the civil and military officials who had a good impression of Li Xiang were stunned. The next moment, they all kept silent and looked at Cao Song and Li Xiang with a strange look.

When the queen heard Cao Song stand up to object, she stared at Cao Song with her beautiful eyes, and Li Xiang narrowed his eyes.
