Chapter 061: Guan Long's Scheme
Daxing City Affairs Workshop!
A luxurious carriage from far and near, two tall horses pulling the cart, both of which are snow-white, look very miraculous. This is true of all horses pulling carts. One can imagine how noble the owner's family on this carriage is.
The carriage stopped in front of Dou Mansion, and the curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing a man with a white beard, revealing a serious and capable face.
The middle-aged man glanced at the ancient plaque and asked people to send a name card to show their identity.
The name of the post is written in Duguquan!
Dugu Cheng is the head of the Dugu family, Yang Guang's own uncle, he has always lived in the depths, but the "nephew Yang Guang" opened all the righteous warehouses in Guanzhong and the official warehouses to release grain completely disrupted his steps, so that his long-planned plan was in danger of failure, which made Dugu Cheng anxious, and now he can only discuss with Dou Wei, the head of the Dou family, how to deal with it.
The Dou family is not one of the Eight Pillar Kingdoms, but it has produced many talents and gradually became one of the important families of Guanlong's magnates, because Li Yuan's wife Dou is the daughter of the Dou family, so the Dou family is also one of Li Yuan's most important supporters.
When the Dou Mansion family received the name post, they didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, so they invited Dugu into the reception room of the mansion on the one hand, and went to inform the head of the family on the other hand.
The sound of feet sounded, and a white-haired old man in his seventies walked in through the side door with a rattan cane.
The white-haired old man was dressed in a simple scribe's suit, with a goat's beard with white flowers, and his half-opened eyes occasionally flashed with the light that had gone through vicissitudes.
He is Dou Wei, the head of the Dou family.
Dou Wei is more than sixty years old, older than Dugu Zhen, but a generation lower, most of the Dou family is known for their martial arts and bravery, but Dou Wei is beautiful and knowledgeable.
The two exchanged a few words, and Dou Wei directly picked out the topic, "Dugu family master, we are not outsiders, don't beat around the bush...... Let me guess, but for Yang Tong? ”
Dugu said in a deep voice: "The master of the Dou family, since the Wei Dynasty, the royal family and our Guanlong magnates have an unknown relationship, we need the royal family to get what we want, and the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty need the support of our Guanlong magnates to reach the top, when a certain family reaches the top, the relationship between the two will be shattered." The royal family is afraid of us, and we are also afraid of being eaten. ”
"When the first emperor was alive, he did not dare to act excessively, so as not to cause turmoil in the country, and the two sides have always been in a balance point. But since the accession of the Holy One today, this equilibrium no longer exists. I have to say that the Holy Emperor is far superior to the first emperor, and he does not directly confront us, but in the name of national righteousness, he uses foreign wars to weaken our military power. If the Holy One stops to govern the country and settle the people, we will be eaten up by Him one by one. Originally, we supported Li Yuan to fight against him, and helped him step by step to his current position, and he did not disappoint us. But recently, the birth of a person has laid a great foundation for a good situation. ”
Dugu lowered his head and groaned, thinking about something, and only said after a while: "This tiger in Jizhou has done more thoroughly than any emperor, directly abandoning the family lords and the leaders of the scholars, and pleasing a plate of scattered Han Shi for their own use, these people have no foundation, they can only follow him all the way, therefore, Jizhou's career is thriving." And Taiyuan, who is adjacent to the tiger, began to be cautious and afraid! His delay in moving made the hearts of all ethnic groups in Guanzhong impetuous, and once the hearts of these people were scattered, they could not be reunited. ”
"Yes, it's him, Yang Tong, Yang Renjin!" Dou Wei said this, a very ordinary name, but he was as heavy as a thousand catties in his mouth at this time: "This Yang Dong is less than sixteen years old, but he is a rare genius, his wisdom, his bravery, his strategy, his vision!" Surpassed everyone. His righteous learning allows all the children of the poor family in the world to study, his scholarship inspires all students to work hard, coupled with the imperial examination system, so that in less than ten years, the Han scholars can occupy the court, and since then the advantages of our family gate valve have disappeared, only three major policies, can break the thousands of years no dynasty can do things! ”
What is even more terrifying is that the turbulent rebellion has become his invincible sword, and he uses these rebels as the vanguard of his reform, and then purge the family one by one on the grounds of rectifying the rule of officials. The old family gate valve fell one by one, and the new family gate valve could not afford to produce because of the new land policy and the new tax system, and since then, there has been no big family and gate valve that has affected the imperial power. ”
"He is hegemonic to the Jizhou family and benevolent to the people! The foreign race is even more bloody killing, and now there are no external forces in Liaodong that threaten him. Once the military strength of Jizhou is restored! This tiger will sweep the world with the momentum of a flood beast, and the first to bear the brunt must be Liu Wuzhou of Hedong Province, once he takes the three counties of Mayi, Yanmen, and Loufu, Li Yuan will be surrounded by him, and Li Yuan will be quickly defeated even if he has an incident at that time. Uncle Shi...... We have tigers on the outside and instability on the inside. If we don't attack again, we will be fish to be slaughtered. ”
Speaking of this, Dou Weishuang mentioned the danger faced by the Guanlong magnates, "Sui and Yang generations, the intention of wanting to eliminate our Guanlong family has been like Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows it. Yang Guang and Yang Yong have been abolished, and there are only three emperors and grandsons who have made a difference! And the acting king Yang Yu is under our noses, and he can't afford to turn up much wind and waves, and Yan Wang Yang Yu was forced to be anxious by Wagang, so there is nothing to worry about. The only commendable one is Yang Tong, with his ability and means, as long as the military strength is restored! will go south to the east of the river with the prestige of Taotian, and then wave his army into the pass to meet the acting king. At that point, we don't even have a chance to fight back. ”
"Yang Qi in the Central Plains is too busy to take care of himself, and Yang Tong is recovering; And in the south of the Yangtze River, Xiao Mo swept the entire south, and the saint regarded the south as his foundation, and if something happened in the south, he couldn't take care of the north anyway. The royal family and the forces loyal to them were divided into several large pieces. Now is definitely the best opportunity for Li Yuan to make a move, and Li Yuan's strength is less than that of the first emperor in the era of Zhou, no matter how deep he hides, for us, he is a paper kite, unable to escape our traction. Once he's in charge, our chance will come. ”
Dugu said in a deep voice: "The old man is not so confused that he can't distinguish between right and wrong, and I don't know the current situation, but the nephew of the old man Taiyuan seems to be scared......"
Dou Wei smiled faintly: "As Uncle Shi said, Li Yuan is indeed afraid, he is afraid that we will abandon him, so he has not moved." So, we should give him faith. ”
"How?" Dugu asked.
Dou Wei spit out a name from his mouth: "I heard that Uncle Shi's family is a beautiful woman in the world, so I took the liberty to remind me." ”
"Master Dou, why do I think you're waiting for me." Dugu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "But I don't know what the head of the Dou family is talking about is the son of the Li family?" ”
Dou Wei said: "Li Yuan's second son, Li Shimin"
Dugu was stunned for a moment, and said: "I also heard that this son has a 'dragon and phoenix posture and a watch of the sky', but it is impossible for my family Mingxiu to be a flat wife and a concubine......"
"Naturally not!" Dou Wei said firmly.
"Didn't he marry the youngest daughter of Changsun Sheng?"
Dou Wei smiled indifferently: "After many years of marriage, the women of the eldest grandson's family have nothing to do. ”
There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great!
There is nothing more tragic in this day and age than not being able to have children. According to the law, it is possible to divorce his wife if he has nothing to do, and it is also reasonable for Li Shimin to divorce his wife and remarry because the eldest grandson has nothing to do.
"Hehe, Li Yuan's family will step on low and climb high." Dugu smiled slightly.
This eldest grandson is the daughter of eldest grandson Sheng.
Changsun Sheng was an excellent diplomat and a marksman, who had been managing Turkic affairs on behalf of the imperial court for more than 20 years, and the powerful Turkic Khanate was divided into two by him, but he died in the fifth year of the Great Cause.
And the eldest grandson is the daughter of the wife of the eldest grandson Sheng, he was originally married to give birth to three sons and four daughters for him, and later the yuan partner died, married the daughter of Gao Mao, the king of Le'an of Northern Qi, and gave birth to a boy and a girl.
When the eldest Sun Sheng remarried Gao, it was the marriage of Guan Long and the Northern Qi Emperor. It's just that as soon as he died, the adult son of the family couldn't tolerate this stepmother and half-siblings, so he rushed back to the Gao family.
The uncle of the eldest grandson, Gao Shi Lianyuan, was an official in Honglu Temple and was also very talented.
It's a pity that Yang Xuangan rebelled, and Hu Sizheng, the squire of the military department, defected, and Gao Shilian and Hu Sizheng were in-laws, so he was implicated and was demoted to the next county in Jiaozhi County as the chief bookkeeper.
Li Yuan, this person!
The wife who married Li Jiancheng before was a Taiyuan Wang woman with one of the five surnames and seven hopes, and then chose a wife for the second child, of course, she also wanted to choose the daughter of a famous family, so that she could marry and help. At first, I thought about Princess Shang, but later I couldn't, so I was optimistic about this eldest grandson's family.
When the Gao family was degraded, Li Yuan hesitated again.
Originally, the eldest grandson was driven out by the eldest grandson family, and later his maternal uncle Gao Shilian was far away from Jiaozhi.
In Li Yuan's opinion, this pro is of little value.
But because the family affair has been contracted, I have to let the second son Li Shimin marry the eldest grandson! But the specifications are not much better than marrying a flat wife!
Dugu Quan, the old fox, could see at that time that Li Yuan was not satisfied with this family business.
Now Li Yuan has fallen in love with Dugu's concubine and his granddaughter, which can really be described as extremely greedy.
Seeing that Dugu Cheng did not explicitly refuse, Dou Wei immediately took advantage of the victory to pursue: "It doesn't matter whether Li Yuan is stepping low and climbing high, the important thing is that the time given to us is running out, and if we miss this God-given opportunity, there will be no next time." ”
"Your analysis is correct, it coincides with old decay, and the current situation is indeed a crisis! It is indeed the most suitable person to be able to let the weak Li Yuan make a case on our behalf, and the old man agreed."
After the decision, Dugu Cheng continued, "In extraordinary times, the old man can not care about the red tape of the three books and six ceremonies, and can keep everything simple!" ”
Compared to the interests of the family, a woman is insignificant enough.
Dou Wei smiled and said, "Call Li Gongzi." ”
