Volume 3 Xuanwu Gate Chapter 98 The reaction of the Dugu family
If you want to say why Li Shimin came in person with the dignity of King Qin, it was because things had changed.
When he learned that Mingyu was kidnapped, Li Shimin was furious and sent someone to give an ultimatum to the Dugu family, and he must send Mingyu back safely before dawn, otherwise he would personally lead the troops to the Dugu family to ask for someone.
Things have developed to the point where they are no longer simply fighting and kidnapping, but a battlefield where various forces are competing behind the scenes.
What's more, at this time, the Qin Wangfu and the Dugu family have completely torn their faces, in terms of the status of the two of them, it is like sailing against the current and retreating if they do not advance, whoever takes a step back is admitting defeat and planting a heel, and then wants to re-establish their prestige, but it will be extremely difficult.
Besides, the Dugu family, since Dugu Wudu received the name of King Qin, he flipped the table angrily on the spot.
"Li Shimin's child! What is he going to do! Threaten me? When I'm Dugu Wu, I'm afraid of you? It's too much of a deception! Dugu Wudu was so angry that his eyebrows exploded, roaring like thunder, and his voice shook the room with an echo.
There were also several of his own brothers and many nephews and grandchildren present in the house, and they all shivered and did not dare to breathe.
"Evil obstacles! It's all my fault that I spoil you on weekdays! Dugu Wudu got angry when he saw Dugu Jie, kicked him to the sky, and roared, "Didn't I tell you, don't mess with the Qin Wangfu now!" When he falls, he will naturally clean up as much as he wants! It's good that you're so breathless! Even the means of tying people have been used! You hate me for being alone enough to make enemies! β
Dugu Jie was still wrapped in a white cloth on his head at this time, but he knew that his grandfather Dugu Wudu's hot temper was kicked on his head, and he didn't dare to get up, so he knelt on the ground, crying and saying with a sad face, "Grandfather Rongyu, no, I didn't do it!" Although that bastard cut off one of my ears and caused me to have incomplete facial features, this hatred and hatred are not shared! But I really didn't do it! I found a few rangers, said hello to a familiar gang, and sent someone to keep an eye on that kid. However, before they could do anything, they were preemptively launched! This really has nothing to do with me! β
"Bastard! You said you didn't do it! But Chang'an is going crazy, and it is rumored that you did it! I believe you, is King Qin willing to believe it! Dugu Wudu was furious, and kicked Dugu Jie a few times.
"Daddy! That's a mistake! If you say this, wouldn't it be the majesty of King Changqin and destroy the spirit of our Dugu family! Dad, why do you have to care so much about the King of Qin? Are you afraid that he won't be able to settle accounts after the fall? Father and son are connected, Dugu Jie's Dugu Lun saw that his son was beaten miserably, he couldn't bear it, and refuted it.
Dugu Wudu is also a arrogant character, the most unprovoked, he slapped him when he heard this, and said angrily, "Fart!" Dare to talk to you like that! He, Li Shimin, is a piece of bullshit! I'm afraid of him? Hum! Standing up is not virtuous, father and son are regular, young and old are orderly, this is the rule set by the ancestors for thousands of years! Otherwise, the etiquette will collapse, and the world will be in chaos! He, Li Shimin, is just wishful thinking, and he never wants to sit in that position in his life! Don't look at his current scenery, it's just His Majesty who brought him out to beat the prince! The emperor is getting older, but the crown prince is already full-fledged. In addition, with our full support, Li Shimin is now just a grasshopper after the autumn, and he can't turn the sky upside down. At that time, we don't need to do anything, the prince will clean him up! β
Dugu Lun covered his flushed cheeks and echoed, "That's it!" So why are you so scrupled about King Qin! If you offend, you will offend the king, anyway, he will finish sooner or later! β
A group of small characters in the Dugu family looked unwilling, and interjected: "Big brother is right! If you want me to say, just tell the truth to the king of Qin! Believe it or not! If you don't give up and don't know how to lift, then our Dugu family has a reason, and we can't say that we have to fight hard!! β
"That's right! Why did he say that we had kidnapped his people! What a certificate! β
"Our Dugu family has been in Guanzhong for hundreds of years, with big roots and deep roots, and protΓ©gΓ©s are all over the world. So how many years has Li Shimin been in power? How dare you not take our Dugu family in your eyes? Besides, the Guan Long family has always been in the same spirit, and with the support of the prince, it is even more victorious and undefeated! If you want me to say why do you need to take care of Li Shimin, just show the carriage and horse to fight him! β
"Li Shimin is a fart! There is an emperor and a prince in this Tang Dynasty, where is his turn to speak! β
"Oh!" The more Dugu Wudu listened, the more angry he became, and he was so disappointed in the stupidity of these people, so he couldn't see things clearly, how could he be in charge of the Dugu family in the future? Angry in his heart, he kicked Dugu Lun on his heel again, and said angrily, "No matter how miserable he is in the future, that will be in the future!" Right now, the King of Qin is still the King of Qin! It's the emperor's son! If he doesn't fall now, we can't completely tear our faces with him! Otherwise, what do you make the emperor think? What do people in the world think? Said that the Dugu family was arrogant and domineering and humiliated the prince? said that the Dugu family has a heart of disobedience and does not take the prince in his eyes? The more Dugu Wudu spoke, the more angry he became, and he punched and kicked Dugu Lun Dugu Jie's father and son.
"Big brother! Big brother is angry! In my opinion, since it has been confirmed that Xiaojie did not do this, the top priority now is to find out who is behind the scenes! Frame my Dugu family like this, and push us out to fight with the Qin Wangfu. Although our Dugu family is not afraid of King Qin, there is no need to be a gunman! Seeing that the head of the family, Dugu Wudu, was furious and unsettled, the brains of the Dugu family, Dugu Kaiyuan hurriedly came over to persuade him.
"Hmmm! It's still reasonable to say Kaiyuan! Dugu Wudu nodded, took a deep breath, eased his emotions a little, and said, "That's right!" Command! Examine! Check it out for me! Who the hell is it! I want to see which bastard dares to frame our Dugu family! β
Dugu Kaiyuan hurriedly responded: "I'll send someone to check now!" Do you want to use shadows? β
"Yes, it's going to be used on the blade just now!" After that, Dugu Wudu waved his hand and said to everyone, "You all go down, be honest with me recently, don't cause trouble!" β
Everyone in the Dugu family gave a salute and respectfully retired, and only Dugu Wudu was left sitting there in the house, his face gloomy and uncertain.
At this time, the old housekeeper walked in quietly, and said in a low voice in Dugu Wudu's ear, "The master of the house, the Huang Nei servant of the Middle Palace is here." He said that there was a lot of trouble in this matter, and Princess Qin entered the palace to cry to His Majesty. That kid's identity is quite unusual, and His Majesty cares about it very much. Send him to the house to spread the word that if it is really what we did, let him go. β
Hearing that someone from the Middle Palace was coming, Dugu Wudu's face changed slightly. Although he is arrogant and domineering, he is arrogant and unscrupulous, and sometimes even the emperor has to be suspicious of him.
But he is not stupid, he has a sense of proportion in his heart, in the trivial things that are not elegant, with the power of the Dugu family, it doesn't hurt to be arrogant and domineering, but if it really comes to the important matter, he has to bow his head to the emperor.
It is true that his Dugu family is powerful, and it is also true that Tang Emperor Li Yuan also wants to give a few thin noodles, but although the Dugu family is known as the leader of the Guanlong nobles, after all, it is only claimed that among the Guanlong nobles, the most powerful is naturally the Li family in Longxi, otherwise it would not be Li Yuan's turn to be the emperor.
At this time, Dugu Wudu was a little nervous and asked, "Where is the person?" β
The old butler replied respectfully, "Just wait in the side room." β
"Well, you go first, and I'll be there later." Dugu Wu nodded.
The old housekeeper bowed slightly and respectfully retired.
Dugu Wu thought about it again and again, stopped the old housekeeper in a loud voice, and said, "Wait, go, send the pair of white jade glass cups in my study to Huang Nei, and let him wait a little longer." He said that I was sending someone to investigate, and that he would give him a satisfactory answer within half an hour! β
"Yes." The butler said yes, then turned and went out.
The Dugu family, who used all their strength, was really amazingly efficient, and in less than half an hour, Dugu hurried back with his footsteps and truthfully informed the results of the investigation.
Dugu Wudu's eyes narrowed, and two cold lights were released, "It turned out to be him!" Damn, I underestimated him! Okay, I'll tell Huang the result. β
Dugu Kaiyuan asked, "Huang Neishi?" Someone from the middle palace? β
Dugu Wudu nodded and told him about King Qin's troubles in front of the emperor.
Dugu Kaiyuan pondered for a moment and said, "The original plan of the eldest brother is not wrong. But this is not good for our Dugu family. In my opinion, if this is not the case, the results of the investigation will be truthfully informed to the Qin Wangfu, and let the two kings fight, let's stay out of the matter and just sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. Over there in the middle palace, the eldest brother only said that he could find out who kidnapped that kidnap and prove the innocence of my Dugu family. As for the behind-the-scenes instructions, let His Majesty check it himself, and the effect will be the best! In this way, we can kill three birds with one stone, which not only provokes the battle between the King of Qin and the King of Qi, but also arouses His Majesty's dissatisfaction with that one, and by the way, we can also get rid of us and stabilize the status of the crown prince, which is the best policy! β
Dugu Wudu laughed after hearing this, and said, "Okay! Do as you say! β
Dugu Kaiyuan continued, "There are also those Jianghu rangers found by Xiaojie, after all, it is a disaster, since my Dugu family wants to stay out of the matter, I can't keep them and give people a tongue." Lest you get the time to be confused. β
"You look at this matter, you have to do it neatly, leaving no traces!" Dugu Wudu's voice was cold, and he commanded. "Also, King Qin's side, in order to show our sincerity, you go in person."
"Yes, don't worry, big brother, I can save it!" Dugu Kaiyuan hugged his fists and turned around to leave.
"Wait!" Dugu Wudu's eyes rolled, he thought for a moment, and said, "Don't go!" I personally wrote a letter to explain the situation to the King of Qin! Well, who should be sent? Just send Dugu Kai to go! In the current eventful season, no one can say what the outcome will be in the future. Let's be cautious and don't make too much of a bad deal with King Qin. Eggs can't be put in one basket, plan ahead, be prepared! β
"It's still the eldest brother who is far-sighted! In this way, my lonely family can prosper forever! Dugu Kaiyuan complimented him and left.
