Chapter VI Invitations
He thought that his father would be worried about his country because of his high temple status, and the booklet he gave him must be about the future of the country, the ban on religion and Western learning, and other important things, and he was worried about the future of the country.
But after only a few glances, Liu Yu found that he really overestimated his father's consciousness.
These pieces of paper turned out to be "The Record of the Attack of the Marquis of Wuding in the Former Ming Dynasty", that is, the Guo Ying family who shot Chen Youliang in "The Biography of the Martyrs".
After looking at it roughly, Liu Yu also understood what his father meant, and some words were not too embarrassed to say in person after all.
Guo Ying's Wuding Marquis inherited very bumpy, there have been accidents, in order to attack the lord, cousins and brothers dismantle each other and complain: some report that the elder brother is an adulterous son and his own father is a green hat, and some report that the younger brother is not filial.
In order to attack the lord, it is also a fight.
In order to attack the lord, the brothers killed each other, and in the end, no one reaped any benefits.
There are words in the words, and it is obvious that this is for Liu Yu.
Liu Yu has excellent grades in the Wude Palace, and he has been smart since he was a child, but his eldest brother is far behind.
But the raid on the lord must be the eldest brother, Liu Yu will be divided in the future, maybe his father also has the intention of marrying himself and the royal family, he is afraid that he will learn from the Ming Guo family before the princess to ask for a lord?
In the end, this means that in the future, don't learn from the former dynasty Wudinghou's house, and it will not benefit anyone if it becomes like that.
Liu Yu smiled, thinking that he also pity the hearts of parents in the world, the palms and backs of his hands are full of meat, and some words are really not good to say in person, making them into the form of playing dumb riddles like this.
However, it can be seen that his father is still full of expectations for him.
At the end of the booklet, there is still a part of the content, and my father carefully drew a few black lines on it with a pen: Guo Yingzhi's sixth son attacked a six-grade Chengde Lang. The son of the sixth son, his father was only six grades, but relying on his military exploits, he was named Dingxiangbo, and he became a pillar of honor after the civil fort.
After the restoration of Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, Guo Dengjin said: The subjects of the four seas of the world now miss the sainthood, more than hunger and thirst, and do not have a very open grace, why should they move the heart of the world to comfort their joy and encouragement? ”
In other words, he asked Ming Yingzong to win the hearts of the people and re-knight those nobles who were dismissed. This side branch, who had no role at all at the beginning, relied on himself to become the shade umbrella of the nobles after all, and saved his family.
Seeing this, Liu Yu understood that his father was actually full of expectations for himself.
I was very happy to have a good evaluation in the Wude Palace, but for some reasons, or for the sake of family harmony, I couldn't praise myself with great fanfare, and I was afraid that the eldest son would not be happy.
Brothers are in harmony as long as they do not divide the family property, but once it comes to the family property title, I am afraid it will not stop.
praised the younger son, what did the eldest son think? Do you think that this is the father's intention to let his younger son become a knight?
Don't praise it, I'm sorry for my youngest son, and it seems that Liu Sheng has also made up his mind about the eldest son, and he doesn't want to make trouble at home.
Is this the way I hope I will follow before I set Xiangbo Guoden? With his own ability, he didn't attack the knighthood, and he was stunned to get a new title?
"Looking forward to Jackie Chan, his heart is sighing. It's just father, father, how can it be so easy? ”
With a long sigh, Liu Yu knew very well what this "Wude Palace" was.
It is not only the knife of the imperial power, but also the butt wiping paper of the imperial power, which is nothing more than a bargaining chip used to bargain with the gentry and Confucian students in Jiangnan.
To the imperial power, the gentry were bastards, and the nobles were not good birds. To fight the world, you can use the nobles, and the world is stable, but you still have to rely on the gentry to defend the military with literature.
It was extremely difficult for Dashun to open the country, and there was no slaughter of heroes after the founding of the country.
Not only because of the courage of Li Laiheng, the king of Xiaochuang, but also because of the ...... Li Laiheng is Li Guo's righteous son, Li Guo is Li Zicheng's nephew, and military generals such as Yuan Zongdi, Liu Tichun, Dang Shousu and others, after the world is calmed, they are all old, and they are all the grandfathers of King Xiaochuang.
Li Laiheng had the children's army in his hands, and they were all grown up at that time, and they were not afraid at all.
Time is a more terrible weapon for killing people than steel knives and iron swords.
It's good to survive to death, why bother with the notoriety of slaughtering heroes?
Xiao Chuang Wang, who is in his thirties, is he afraid that his grandfathers in his sixties will die of themselves?
For various reasons, Dashun was able to use the three methods of Wude Palace to confront the gentry with strong nobles.
But because of this, the nobles of Dashun are much stronger than those of the former Ming, and the means of the emperor are more needed for balanced control, and they are often suppressed.
Liu Yu was aggrieved and aggrieved in his identity as the prince of Yiguo, even if he won the first place in Wude Palace and won the name of the leader, can the emperor really reuse it?
Can you really let another powerful minister come out of the family of the Dang Dynasty Yiguo?
The feudal patriarchy is cold, and after these few pieces of paper, Liu Yu feels a trace of father-son affection.
I haven't seen the eldest brother or second brother yet, and I don't know what the attitude of the eldest brother who is going to attack the knighthood in the future is towards him?
Thinking about the current era, Dashun has fallen behind, and it seems that he can't wait for death, so he has to climb up.
If those who should climb up don't climb up, then those who shouldn't climb up climb up, but how?
He threw away the pen and paper, stood up and spun around the ground several times, like a cat with its tail bitten off, and the clogs made a trampling sound on the ground.
Yuyan frowned, and didn't know what was wrong with Liu Yu, so she called quietly.
"Third Master, what's wrong? But what's on your mind? ”
As he spoke, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside.
Without waiting for Liu Yu to react, Yuyan had already left the house, came back after a while, and said with a smile: "The third master has something on his mind today, so he just borrowed wine to kill his sorrows." It's okay to talk to a friend. ”
"No, the second son of Qi Guogong sent someone to invite, saying that he got some crabs from Yangcheng Lake, as well as some fresh things such as chicken heads and water chestnuts. He also said that the Fujian Festival made the envoy send some fresh peace and throw it away, so that you can go over to eat wine. ”
Liu Yu was upset, so he came to a sentence without a head.
"The second child of the Duke of Qi is also heartless. Eat and wait for death......"
Swift covered her mouth and sneered, saying that the third master was really weird today. Although I didn't know what Liu Yu was thinking and was uneasy, I also knew that this meal was definitely going to go.
She brushed off her fan and went to prepare her clothes early.
This is not to go out to drink flower wine, but to go to the mansion of the Duke of Qi, even if the tiger is fierce now, he can't just wear a gauze shirt.
After a while, I found an embroidered robe made of pale cyan satin material and replaced it with a somewhat alcoholic gauze shirt.
I was afraid that I would eat and drink until night, so I prepared a cloak of camel hair, and let the personal servant carry it and put it in the car to prepare.
Although Liu Yu scolded others for eating and waiting for death without a head, he also knew that he would not be able to drink this meal.
The Qi Guogong family, like his own family, is the top family of Dashun, and he and the second child of the Qi Guogong family have always been friends, and they are also friends, not fox friends and dog friends.
The surname of the Duke of Qi is Tian, and the second child is called Tian Ping, and he is not the kind of person who eats and drinks nonsense.
I came to invite myself over today, I should have something, I don't know what it is, and I don't know if it has anything to do with my future.
On second thought, my father said that the imperial court had the intention of banning religion, which originated from the twists and turns of the Fujian Jiedu envoy. And Tian Ping invited himself over, and also said that it was some food sent by the Fujian Jiedu envoy, is it related?
The more I think about it, the more likely this is that Tian Ping's Liu Yu still understands it, and he won't look for himself just because he eats and drinks.
Tian Pingzu's name is Tian Jianxiu, a strange figure in the camp of the peasant army.
Zang was a hero, Liu Tichun, who saved Sun and abided by the law, deserved the word "chivalry", and took out all his family foundation to support the high merit of Yongli as a forbidden army to suppress the warlords, and he also launched a counterattack during the Kangxi period to prove that the Ming Dynasty still has a living person in the mainland, and the king of Xiaochuang can carry a "brave" word, and this Tian Jianxiu, there is only one "benevolence" left, and it is also the benevolence of women, the benevolence of small benevolence and small righteousness.
After a stone of the year, Dolgon floated. The soldiers are divided into two routes, preparing to destroy Dashun all the way and Nanming all the way, and the troops have already been divided.
As a result, Tian Jianxiu fought a "Battle of Huaiqing", proving that Dashun was the trouble of the Manchu Dynasty. Dolgon woke up like a dream, and ordered Duoduo to return to the division to destroy Nanming. Nanming's side also happened to be "Lianyu Pingkou", thinking that Wu Sangui had made great contributions in leading the Qing soldiers into the customs, and was named the Duke of Jiguo, with a reward of 50,000 taels of silver and 100,000 stones of rice. The only one who took advantage of the situation to fight back with a little courage was the original Kou Gaojie, who had cuckolded Li Zicheng.
Subsequently, the Battle of Tongguan Dashun failed, Li Zicheng thought that he would continue to retreat south, stretch the battle line, and prepare to take advantage of the opportunity of the extension of the Manchu attack line to counterattack, so that Tian Jianxiu could burn all the grain in Xi'an, or distribute it to the people, in short, the Manchu Qing could not get it.
As a result, Tian Jianxiu's "benevolence" was very popular.
Thinking that if it was distributed to the people, the Manchus would definitely loot the people and the people suffer.
If it is burned, the Manchus have no food, and they will definitely loot the people, and the people will still suffer.
It is better to leave the warehouse directly to the Manchus, so that they will not attack the people, and the people will not suffer......
So this "benevolent" general found some wood and lit a fire at random, and told Li Zicheng that I burned it. As a result, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was full of food and drink, chasing after Dashun's ass and beating him, breaking Liu Zongmin and others.
Fortunately, after Jiugong Mountain, Li Guo was in power, and the battle of Jingzhou was very powerful, and he knew that he could not be the leader, so he pushed Li Guo to take power, and finally made a Duke of Qi.
But the meaning of this Qi State official seal is profound, and I don't know if it is Li Laiheng's meaning or Li Guo's last life.
The former Ming Dynasty never had a formal Duke of Qi, because the Yuan Dynasty had three special Duke of Qi - one was Zhang Hongfan, the Duke of Qi who "destroyed the Song Dynasty here"; the other is the posthumously gifted Confucian Zhu Xi; and Confucius's uncle Liang Su.
Therefore, Tian Jianxiu's Duke of Qi was very awkward in the late Ming Dynasty, when Yan Shenggong shaved his hair and shaved his hair, and his thinking about protecting the country or protecting the world was extremely radical.
Even, a little disgusting.
Even Zhang Nai, who didn't protect Li Zicheng well, had a better title than Tian Jianxiu.
The fault is not in Qi, the fault is in the people who have sealed the Duke of Qi, there are about some white iron innocent casting ministers.
This also leads to the difference between the Tian family and other nobles, such as Liu Yu's father is cautious, but after the Tian family sees the show, they have a little bit of "shame and courage", and treat future generations very strictly.
Four generations have died on the battlefield, and it seems that they are desperately trying to prove that their families are not so unbearable.
Tian Ping and Liu Yu are classmates of Wude Palace, and their results are quite good.
It's just that Liu Yu is obsessed with Western learning, and he is okay with archery and horse riding, Tian Ping is worse for some reasons, but the foundation of the subset of classics and history is higher than Liu Yu.
Liu Yu pondered that Tian Ping should have something to do with him, so he urged the swift twice.
Swift replied, hurriedly served Liu Yu to change clothes, shallot-like fingers gently swept over Liu Yu's neck, Swift retreated quietly, blushing with shame.
The swift couldn't go out, so she asked the maid to go to the small door near the inner door with the clothes she had worn when she came back from eating and drinking at night, and called the little maid who was waiting outside.
Ready to stop, he went out, and the carriage and horse sent by Tian Ping had been waiting outside the door for a long time.
Seeing Liu Yu coming, the little guy hurriedly opened the car door, and took a stepping stool to let Liu Yu get into the car.
The Mansion of Qi is not far from Liu Yu's house, but it is not close.
Near the Crescent River, not far from the Wanping County Yamen, this is not the Wanping County of the 77 Incident, the Wanping County Yamen was later moved to Lugou Bridge, and the Wanping County Yamen at this time was under the outer wall of the Forbidden City.
Next to the yamen of Wanping County is the prison cell of Wanping County, and the people who approve the death penalty every year after the autumn are beheaded from here, which is the case since the pre-Ming Dynasty, and it is said that the yin and bad luck are here.
and Liu Yu's former Ming Huanyi Bureau in front of their house, and called the two places with the heaviest yin at the foot of the imperial city.
Wanping this place is tight, Chongzhen eleven years, Chongzhen Emperor built Wanping City. The west gate is called Yongchang Gate, and the east gate is called Shunzhi Gate. As soon as the city was completed, the subsequent events were fulfilled, and there was a Yongchang Emperor from the west and a Shunzhi Emperor from the east.
Coupled with the rumors of the heavy yin atmosphere of the county yamen, it added a bit of the artistic conception of chaos and strange gods.
But Tian Jianxiu was so angry because of the matter of sealing the "Qi" Guogong that he chose this place to build a mansion.
The noble circle knew that Tian Jianxiu was angry back then, but they didn't persuade him, Liu Tichun and Yuan Zongdi were dissatisfied with Tian Jianxiu's "little benevolence and righteousness", and even Zhang Nai handed over the jade seal of the Ming Dynasty to Li Guo, who was transferred from Shaanxi, instead of Tian Jianxiu who was together.
When the carriage arrived at the Mansion of Qi State, a small servant had already gone inside to report it, so he opened the corner door, and Tian Ping greeted him at the inner gate.
The two are of similar age, and Tian Ping is also sixteen or seventeen years old.
There is no shortage of food and drink in the Guogong Mansion, Tian Ping is also tall and big, slightly fat, but not so outrageous, very strong.
Wearing a cyan gauze shirt, he pretended to play a paper fan in his hand, and his slightly chubby face was covered with beads of sweat.
"Brother Shouchang, since you are here, you must forgive your sins first."
The wine hasn't been drunk yet, and the meal hasn't been eaten yet, Tian Ping first came to forgive the sin, which made Liu Yu confused. Fortunately, he also knows that "Shou Chang" is his own expression, so that the other party will call him Shou Chang and think that he is calling someone else.
Before he came, he had a preoccupation in his heart.
Seeing Tian Ping, it was not good to keep a sullen face, so he had to laugh and say, "What kind of sin do you forgive?" When you drink on weekdays, you are in high spirits, and you have been naked, and it was not called forgiveness at that time, but what sin is forgiven today? ”
This Tian Ping is a lover of personality, and when he drank too much, he did all kinds of things.
Recalling the tone of his own speech and the way his acquaintances ridiculed him in the past, Liu Yu skillfully imitated his usual tone.
Hearing Liu Yu say this, Tian Ping laughed, took Liu Yu's hand and entered the door together.
As soon as he entered the door, Tian Ping smiled and said, "Brother Shouchang, today, I did invite you to have a drink." That's true. But before eating, there is another thing. Folk sayings: If you want to eat and drink, you must work hard first...... Hehe, today I have to ask Brother Shouchang to sell hard first. ”
Liu Yuyun, who said this, said strangely: "What the hell is mysterious?" ”
"Brother Shouchang is good at learning from the West on weekdays, and everyone in the capital knows it. This is what this is about today. ”
As soon as he heard this, Liu Yu seemed to understand something in his heart, and it was really related to the letter of the Fujian Jiedu envoy, this Tian Ping also likes to play dumb riddles, and what did he say about the peace and throw sent by the Fujian Jiedu envoy......
What is peace throwing? Liu Yu didn't know, but he noticed the five words "Fujian Festival Envoy".
He also remained silent, deliberately shook his hand, and said with a wry smile: "Hugh Tixi learns two words." I was just lectured by my father today. Learn from the West and learn from the West, I'm not shallow! ”
As soon as Tian Ping heard Liu Yu say this, he lowered his voice and said, "But is it because of the Fujian Festival that today's court will be broken?" ”
The news in the Mansion of the State of Qi is well-informed, but it is impossible to know what happened in the Liu Mansion just now, obviously because of Liu Sheng's cautious personality on weekdays, I guessed it here.
Liu Yu nodded, Tian Ping patted his thigh and said, "Ah!" My father guessed! Sure enough, Yi Guogong's caution is really ......"
Liu Yu quipped: "Brother, this is also yours." You just say that you have something to find me, but what do you say to eat and drink? That's a big mistake. ”
When Tian Ping heard this, he waved his fan and said with a smile: "At this time, you need to blame Brother Shouchang for only reading those Western studies on weekdays, and he doesn't know the realm of hearing strings and knowing elegance." I said that I would like to invite you to eat and drink, and I said that the Fujian Festival envoy handed over some peace and threw it. The peaceful throw is the peaceful pomelo, but there is an allusion in it. ”
"Fujian people say: taste the fruits in Fujian, lychee for beauty, Fu orange for celebrities, if peaceful throwing, then chivalrous also. What is a knight? Jia Shoudao said: Ten years of sharpening a sword, the frost blade has never been tried. ”
"Brother Shouchang has studied Western studies for ten years, isn't it a sword in ten years? This time I invite you to taste Fujian pomelo and throw it peacefully, which is to use your ability in the past ten years. ”
"Today, I will show you, and my friends have something difficult to say. Naturally, he threw the invitation of a chivalrous guest with peace, what's wrong? It's because you don't read much and don't understand the meaning, but you blame me. ”
Liu Yu laughed, can't he mix in the circle if he doesn't have a cultural level?
I also thought, what kind of Fujian Jiedu envoy did this, it wouldn't be instigated by your family, right? Why don't you give a gift to your family, haven't you heard of giving a gift to my family?
Chida Ping is also joking, and he also knows that I am afraid that this matter will not be small. Sure enough, Tian Ping restrained his smile and said, "Today's matter, in fact, I just passed on a word." Actually, it was my father who sought you out and asked you to do something. ”
"Qi Guogong looking for me?"
Tian Ping's father is the Qi Guogong of this generation, the relationship between the two families is good, and the previous generation also has in-laws, Liu Yu never expected that it was Tian Ping's father who was looking for him.
"What the hell is going on?"
"Let's go, you'll know when you go. Good things are not only related to the future of Brother Shouchang, but also related to the things in the court today. There is no better candidate than you. ”
