In Chang'an, a team of majestic cars parked in front of the Grand Tutor's Mansion, and one person walked from the mansion surrounded by left and right. It was Yang Jian, the emperor of the Sui Kingdom. He left the palace this time to visit the seriously ill Grand Tutor Li Mu.

The Grand Tutor Li Mu has been ill for more than a month in bed and is about to run out of oil, so Yang Jian is here to meet him for the last time. At age, Li Mu is his father and the most powerful person to support him as the emperor.

It is precisely because of his merits that Li Mu was extremely minister, with more than 100 children in his family serving as officials in the court. Even babies who were still in their infancy were all granted etiquette and were extremely noble in the same family.

Li Ya, the son of Li Mu, sent the emperor away and turned back to the dormitory. When he saw his pale father, he couldn't help but feel sad.

"Is Your Majesty gone?" Li Mu asked, his breath weak.

"Father, Your Majesty has returned to the palace."

"Take him here."

Li Ya nodded and turned around and left. After a while, she walked in with a person. The man covered his face and couldn't see his true face. He came to Li Mu's couch and then knelt down: "Father."

"I am no longer your father, nor you, nor my son."

"Father!"

The man kept kowtowing, and Li Ya stood aside and looked sad, without dissuading her.

Li Mu had more than a dozen sons, the eldest son, the second son died early, and several sons died in the king's affairs. Li Ya was the oldest among the sons, and the one who knelt in front of him was Li Mu's unfilial son, Li Rong.

Not long ago, Li Rong asked for an official position for his youngest son, but the emperor agreed, but Li Mu became angry and believed that Li Rong's behavior was a shameful family and accused of threatening the court. He submitted a letter asking the emperor to take it back and succeed.

The emperor went to mediate many times, but Li Mu refused and finally drove Li Rong out of the house, and the father and son were ruthless.

After kowtowing a lot, Li Rong's forehead was bruised. Seeing that his younger brother was a little fluttering, Li Ya quickly stepped forward to help him, and then looked at Li Mu: "Father, Jiulang is leaving, let him look at his father again."

He choked and almost burst into tears. Li Mu lay on the couch and turned his face sideways, quietly looking at his two sons, especially Li Rong, who had been expelled from the house by himself.

"According to what I said that day, Jiulang Li Rong is no longer a member of my Li family."

"Children at home are not allowed to interact with Li Rong anymore. No matter how difficult the Li Rong family lives in the future, no one is allowed to help him."

Speaking of this, Li Mu started coughing violently. Seeing this, Li Ya stepped forward to help her father rub his back. After a moment, the coughing was relieved slightly. Li Mu continued: "Similarly, if the Li family is defeated in the future and the family is destroyed, it will have nothing to do with you, Li Rong!"

Li Rong was just crying. At this point, he could only part ways with the family as he had agreed before. After kowtowing to his father a few times, he covered his face and followed Li Ya away.

The last meeting between father and son made Li Mu exhaust most of his energy, and there was not much time left in the world.

He was rich and rich in his family, and he had no regrets. The only thing he could do was to use another method to leave blood for Li just in case.

After seventy-seven years of life, Li Mu experienced too many things, and it doesn’t matter whether right or wrong is right or wrong. Only by allowing the blood of the family to pass on is the most important thing.

More than fifty years ago, a large-scale rebellion broke out in the Guanlong area of ​​Wei State. The imperial court sent troops to Guanzhong to suppress the rebellion. One of the generals was named Yuwen Tai, who was twenty years old at the time. At the age of twenty, he was the personal soldiers in his tent.

Li Mu and his two brothers made many military achievements, became Yuwen Tai's Yuan Cong, and went through ups and downs together.

In the battle between the East and West Wei, the Battle of Mangshan, and in the chaos, Li Mu quickly rescued the fate of the three brothers of Yuwen Tai who were caught in an arrow and fell off his horse, and was closely tied to the Yuwen family.

Yuwen Tai was seriously ill but his son was young, so Yuwen Tai asked his nephew Yuwen Hu to assist his son and protect the Yuwen family's country. As a result, this person killed two cousins ​​in succession. As Yuwen Tai's Yuan Cong, how could the Li brothers ignore it?

Li Sanlang and Li Yuan were forced to commit suicide because of his son's plan to overthrow Yuwen Hu, and his son was almost killed by Yuwen Hu. In the end, Li Erlang and Li Mu were willing to exchange his own son for his life and leave blood for his younger brother Li Yuan.

The followers of the Yuwen family were divided into internal struggles between the Emperor Party and the Jin Wang Party. In order to protect the throne of Yuwen Tai's son, the Li brothers shed too much blood. Among the followers of the Jin Wang, there were two brothers Yuchi Jiong and Yuchi Gang, which made Li Mu grit his teeth.

As a bastard, Bo Juluo, as an accomplice of Yuwen Hu, are you worthy of your uncle?

So in May of the second year of the Elephant, when Yuchi Jiong was preparing to raise an army to rebel Yang in Yecheng and invited Li Mu to work together, Li Mu arrested the envoy and sent it to Chang'an without hesitation.

They have done their best to the Yuwen family's unworthy descendants. Yuwen Tai's unscrupulous descendants have nothing to do with him. Li Mu. The Li family has shed too much blood for Yuwen family and don't want to make trouble anymore.

Yang Jian and Yuchi Jiong, Li Mu would never choose Yuchi Jiong, so he stood on Yang Jian's side. Even if the other party later usurped the throne in the Sui Dynasty, it didn't matter to Li Mu. The future of the Li clan was the focus of his consideration.

He had hundreds of children as officials and wealthy families, and he was worthy of his ancestors.

Thinking of this, the strength in his body gradually dissipated, and Li Mu felt that his body was getting colder. The deadline was approaching, and he had no regrets. He was just a little guilty towards his ninth son Li Rong. In order to preserve the bloodline of the family, he could only feel wronged by his son.

The situation in the Sui Kingdom has stabilized, and there will be no problem, so Li Mu feels that his descendants should be able to enjoy wealth and honor. Of course, what will happen when the new emperor succeeds to the throne in a few years is no longer related to his business.

It should have let go, but the current situation is a bit subtle. Zhou State has been honest for two years. Others don’t know what others think, but Li Mu always feels uneasy. He thinks something must have happened.

What else can happen? It is just that the Zhou army has tried its best to attack. Yuchi Jiong from Yecheng is a few years older than him. It seems that he has not had a few years of life. With Li Mu's understanding of Yuchi Jiong, it is not difficult to guess that this old rival is going to fight hard.

The Sui Kingdom should be able to survive. After it is over, it is Yang Jian’s turn to exert force, but what if it can’t survive? So Li Mu has to find a way.

If the Sui Kingdom is still there, then the Li family will still be rich and Li Rong, who was kicked out of the house, can only survive hard. No one in the Li family will recognize him as his family anymore, and no one will help him even if he begs along the streets at the end of his journey.

If the Zhou army invaded Chang'an and Yuchi Jiong would not let go of the descendants of Li Mu who were "resisting the rebels" during the liquidation, then the Li Rong family would have the opportunity to survive the great purge and leave a trace of blood.

This is the way for the family to survive in troubled times.

A helpless choice, but no matter what, the family blood must be passed down. Even if it is to bet on multiple sides, there have been countless examples of this over the past few hundred years.
