Li Shun was born in the Li family in Zhao County, and his family had a collection of ten thousand volumes of books. The world was so chaotic when the Five Husbands were in chaos. The Li family abandoned other family wealth and wanted to save these books, so people at that time had a very high evaluation of his family.
Li Shun's father was a well-known capable official. He served as an official under Murong Chui, and later served in Wei State, which was very common in that era.
Li Shun himself has no military exploits, but he has extensive knowledge and strong memory, understands the languages of various countries, and because Cui Hao's younger brother married Li Shun's sister, the two families have mutual in-laws and support each other, and this is how Tuoba Tao was awarded reuse.
He is personable, fluent in conversation, and very handsome in appearance, so although his skills in "power and conspiracy" are not full, it is not boring to be an envoy.
When the accident happened to Tuoba Fan, because the customer was following Li Shun's path, he was interrogated by Su and Jun for a long time, and he was a man with his tail between his legs for a while. Fortunately, he was relatively low-key, and he didn't have any bad deeds on weekdays, isn't it? Tuoba Tao even spared Tuoba Fan for some important court official, so naturally he wouldn't kill him with a single stick, so he would be reactivated.
It's just that Li Shun knew in his heart that it would not be so easy to return to the political center.
As for why Li Shun helped Bei Liang, it was related to Cui Hao.
The Li family and the Cui family have always had an old relationship. Cui Hao's father and Li Shun's father have a deep friendship, so the two families have in-laws.
Li Shun's talent is already considered a rare genius among Han people of the same age, but he is pitiful that a more talented person appeared in the family's family:
—Cui Hao.
From his childhood, Cui Hao was the child of "other people's family".
Li Shunbo has a strong memory, but Cui Hao never forgets it; Li Shun is proficient in literature and history, and Cui Hao was already ten years old because of his outstanding political acumen; Li Shun is handsome, but Cui Hao has made countless people crazy and fight for him since he was a child. These were men and women;
In terms of origin, it is not an exaggeration for the Cui family to say that he has been a minister for many generations. His ancestor was Cao Wei Sikong Cui Lin, and his father was Sikong of the Wei State. His children had gone into office one after another, and his mother was the eldest daughter of the Lu family.
And although Li Shun was born in the Li family in Zhao County, with the same five surnames, his family was not as prominent as the Cui family, and he had even fewer children and his mother's family was incomparable.
The Li family has a collection of ten thousand volumes of books. Cui Hao often went to the Li family to borrow books when he was young. He stayed for a day, so the Li family cared more about Cui Hao than their own child Li Shun. The beaten son is different.
But Li Shun didn't think so. He always thought that his parents liked Cui Hao more than himself, and compared himself with Cui Hao everywhere, so what book Cui Hao read, he read it, hoping to surpass him.
It is precisely because of this that he gained a reputation as "knowledgeable and erudite", but Cui Hao is "mysterious like yin and yang, and the words of a hundred schools of thought are all related to comprehensive research, and the study of essence and reason is beyond the reach of people of the time."
Cui Hao knew that he was going to serve in the Wei Kingdom to assist the Xianbei monarch, so he was very proficient in Xianbei dialect, Xiongnu dialect, Lushui nonsense, Rouran dialect, and Qiang dialect. Therefore, he also learned Lu Shui nonsense, Xianbei dialect and Rouran dialect, and had the capital to be an envoy.
But Li Shun can learn everything from Cui Hao, only Cui Hao's mind can't learn it, and it can be seen from the distance between the two as adults.
Cui Hao was too outstanding and arrogant since he was a child, so his popularity was extremely poor. When Li Shun was young, he first imitated Cui Hao, but later found that the gap between himself and him was getting bigger and bigger, and he became the group of people who hated him.
But because the relationship between the two families is good, the politeness on the bright side is still to be done, so that later he hated it to death, and he even had a polite greeting on his face. Cui Hao is not a fool, his relationship is poor because there are no geniuses worth making friends around him, not because he really does not understand the world. After being overcast a few times, Cui Hao alienated Li Shun, but Cui Hao's younger brother and Li Shun. Relationship got better.

Therefore, although the Cui family and the Li family are relatives by marriage, Li Shun is close to Cui Hao's younger brother.
That time, when a disciple who sent Wu Shi San to Di Yefei entered the mansion, Li Shun recommended him to Cui Hao's younger brother, and then Cui Hao's younger brother gave it to his elder brother. There will be mistakes.
The grown-up Li Shun is more prudent and stoic than before, but his jealousy and resentment towards Cui Hao is getting deeper and deeper every day, but he knows that Tuoba Tao trusts Cui Hao, and it is useless to slander him, so he is seldom in it. In public, Cui Hao is not, and he will never act lightly. Almost no one knows his careful thoughts.
But secretly, whether Cui Hao was dismissed from office by Xianbei nobles when he was impeached, or the later incident of the disciples, there are actually his shadows.
As long as Cui Hao is not happy, he is happy.
Anything that Cui Hao agrees to, he opposes.
Whatever Cui Hao objected to, he facilitated it.
Li Shun's thoughtfulness could be concealed from Tuoba Tao, but he could not conceal from Cui Hao, who knew him well, so he was more afraid of him.
In the Xianbei-dominated court, Cui Hao belonged to the active "main war faction". He knew that the biggest disadvantage of the Northern Wei Dynasty lies in the shallow foundation. Only by continuous victories can people gather people and financial resources. Therefore, since Tuoba Tao came to power, every war was initiated by him.
Now that the Xia Kingdom has been destroyed, Rouran has succumbed, and the Western Qin Dynasty has also been sacrificed. Although Beiliang and Beiyan had already claimed the title, Cui Hao still believed that it would be more appropriate to directly incorporate them into the territory instead of getting two vassal states.
On the other hand, Li Shun and the other ministers belonged to the "Main Peace faction" and believed that the current country was already large enough, and that managing the country in Anbang was the top priority.
Even so, Li Shun still has the arrogance of a "big country messenger" in his heart. Whenever he is on the mission, although he is more than modest, his attitude is very tough. Liang Guo is very respectful to him. Accompanied by beautiful women, and gifted with gifts before leaving, he gained respect that he could not get anywhere else.
Whether it was for this kind of satisfaction, or to hinder Cui Hao's strategy of "going west to the north", Li Shun didn't want Bei Liang to die like this.
But he himself knew that with the current speed of Wei State's expansion, it would be a matter of time before the annexation of Bei Liang. Juqu Mengxun was old and frail, but his two eldest sons died unexpectedly. He originally had some hope for Juqu Muqian, but now it seems that he is also an embroidered pillow.
Cui Hao and Tuoba Tao also saw Bei Liang's unsustainable situation, so they sent envoys this time. First, to see how Juqu Mengxun's body was, and second, to find out Bei Liang's situation and find a suitable one. The opportunity to cut Liang, the third is to secretly send Yuan Po Qiang to find the former subordinates of King Nanliang, and secretly form an alliance to wait for future opportunities.
It can be said that what kind of information Hua Mulan feeds back is the basis for whether Bei Liang can continue to exist. As for the "princess who welcomes relatives", it is secondary.
Li Shun was bribed by Beiliang with a lot of money. Naturally, he tried his best to prevent Beiliang's demise, but he had no way to make Juqu Mengxun's health better, and secondly, he couldn't make Beiliang prosperous in an instant to the point where Wei Kingdom was jealous. At this point, there is no way to stop Yuan Po Qiang from completing his mission, there is only one way left:
- Let this mission not reach Beiliang.
He is Wei Chen after all, even if he wants to destroy such a mission, he can't leave a handle to cause trouble for himself, and can only find another way. Stable, of course, we can only go back to China first.
Therefore, Juqu Muqian repeatedly pretended to be sick, or delayed the time, or deliberately released the news that Juqu Mengxun was seriously ill, causing Juqu Muqian to run away and deceive Hua Mulan from chasing, all of which were only part of these strategies.
It's a pity that God didn't help him, the plan not only failed, but also made Hua Mulan gain a thousand Lushuihu people in vain, Juqu Mujian could never contact him again, and I don't know if Juqu Mujian was also a "scheme". There is a plan", nominally to use his hand to get rid of Hua Mulan, but in fact he has other plans.
What he is most afraid of now is that as soon as Hua Mulan arrives in Beiliang, he will find that Juqu Mengxun is not seriously ill at all. And Juqu Mengxun, in order to make Wei dare not send troops easily, even if he is sick, he will pretend not to be sick, and he will not tell the lie for him.
He was betrayed by Juqu Mujian, and he became not a person inside or outside, and he had to help Bei Liang if he didn't.
In this case, he can only go all the way down to the bottom. Fortunately, the journey is still long, and he and the envoys of Bei Liang have the opportunity to slowly figure it out.
The most important thing is to separate the cronies around Mulan first, and wait for the opportunity to find an opportunity to deal with her.
***
Just when Li Shun was taking it for granted, Zheng Zong had already brought the large bag of gold objects to his tent and spread them all on Yuan Fang's bed.
Yuan Fang has countless things to do every day, and he carries thousands of people's schedules on his back. In the past, He Mulan did these things himself, but now he has become him, so when he returned to the camp, he had already It's the middle of the month.
Yuan Fang was sleepy and stupefied at first, but just as he lay down on the bed, he immediately felt that the unspeakable man on his back suddenly jumped up.
"What the hell! It's hurting people! This is it!"
Bullying the meat he raised in the past few months is all exhausted, right!
His bones hurt!
When he was fully awake and looked on the bed, he was shocked to death.
"I remember that I didn't steal Hua Mulan's stuff..." Yuan Fang rubbed his eyes, "Why are there so many golden objects here?"
"I earned it!"
Following Zheng Zong's triumphant words, a big head stretched out in front of Yuan Fang.
"How about it, I'm amazing!"
"what happened?"
Yuan Fang picked up one at random. "It's official? It's so well made..."
"I don't know that, Li Shun gave it to me."
Zheng Zong sold Li Shun directly.
"He asked me to be a god, secretly revealing the whereabouts of General Hua, and he also asked me to think of a way to make the Hu Ben army and the Lu Shuihu people quarrel. …”
Yuan Fang froze suddenly, regretting giving away his egret letter.
"Why did he find you?"
Zheng Zong touched his face.
"Well... that makes me a little angry."
He rolled his eyes and said viciously in Yuan Fang's impatient eyes.
"Probably I don't look like a good person!"
