The north wind has risen, and the cold wind is howling.

Wei Zheng stayed in the warm room and was brewing home brew, he lifted the straw futon on the wine basin, looked to see the fermentation of glutinous rice, and stretched out a finger to poke into the dimple in the center of the basin to pick up some liquor, check the concentration, and finally put his finger in his mouth and sucked.

Licking his lips, Wei Zheng was satisfied.

After continuous improvement, the taste of Wei's wine is getting better and better.

His wife, Pei, came in from outside, "Someone from the Shuai Mansion said that the Shuai had summoned you to discuss matters." ”

Pei was born in Hedong, but he also had to flee his hometown with his family because of the war and banditry, and finally came to Liaodong. She was born in the Pei clan in Hedong, and she is also a famous family, but her family is only a side branch of the Pei family, and in troubled times, the Pei family in Hedong can't protect these branches.

After coming to Liaodong, the family business in the Central Plains was even abandoned.

Fortunately, the father of the Pei family is a son of a famous family, although he has no money and no wealth now, he has studied and practiced martial arts for many years, and he still has a lot of skills. Therefore, he was finally recruited by Luo Cheng's Shuai Mansion and became a petty official of the Shuai Mansion.

After Luo Cheng heard that he had a daughter who was a girl with a good character, he acted as a matchmaker for Wei Zheng and promised this woman to Wei Zheng. Wei Zheng is in his thirties, but because he has been a Taoist priest for more than ten years, he is still an old bachelor.

Previously, Luo Cheng asked the soldiers to accept Goguryeo concubines, and although Wei Zheng accepted the Goguryeo women he gave him, he did not accept any of them, but only became slaves and maids in the family.

However, Wei Zheng was very satisfied with Pei's family, he accepted Luo Cheng's introduction and went on a blind date with Pei's family, and found that this woman from a famous family, now because she came to Liaodong, can also adapt to the new situation, dress simply, only wear cloth, and I heard that she also began to weave cloth by herself.

So I had a good impression of it, and after talking about it again, I found that this girl actually knew a lot about poetry, scriptures and history, so this thing was done.

There was no big deal, just a simple wedding, and the husband and wife respected each other like guests after marriage.

"Help me look at these wines, now is the critical time for fermentation, you have to watch the time to open the lid to dissipate heat, and it can't be cold yet. If the fermentation is enough, you should immediately put it into the water and change it into the barrel to make the wine a second time, and you can't make a mistake at all, because if you make a mistake, the taste of the wine will not be right. Wei Zheng confessed to his wife.

Pei Shi followed Wei Zheng and also learned a lot of Wei's home brewing methods, so he smiled, "Don't worry, hurry up to Shuai's Mansion, don't let Dashuai wait in a hurry." ”

Wei Zheng took off his robe, took the official uniform handed over by his wife, and said, "I guess it's a good thing." ”

"How do you know it's a good thing?"

Wei Zheng smiled.

After changing into official clothes, Wei Zheng rode to the Shuai Mansion.

As soon as I saw Luo Cheng, I saw that there was a spring breeze on his face.

"Dashuai, I watched the stars at night, and found that the emperor star had fallen, and Zhou Xing had risen and fallen, could it be that there was any news from Jiangdu?"

Luo Cheng laughed.

"You old Wei Dao, you can really talk about it."

"This is not, it is really the fall of the emperor star, the ups and downs of Zhou Xing, this is a big celestial phenomenon."

Hou Mo Chenyi, the staff officer of the Marshal Mansion's march, said in amazement, "I didn't expect Wei Changshi to be so good, it really made you guess right, the emperor collapsed." ”

"How did it collapse?"

"Killed by Yu Culture!"

Wei Zheng listened, stroked his beard, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that person to end up like this, but for us, this is also a good thing." ”

Hou Mo Chen Yi nodded, "Yes, it is a good thing for us to collapse, and it will save us a lot of trouble in the future." ”

Now on the side of Liaodong, they support Yang Xuan, the king of Liao, as the son of heaven, and then respect Yang Guang as the emperor, they did not rebel, and they are still the court of the Great Sui.

It's just that the son replaces the father, and the Great Sui is still the Great Sui.

Luo Cheng and the others are still the courtiers of the Great Sui.

The banner is naturally that the son reorganizes the mountains and rivers for his father, crusades against rebellions, and stabilizes the world.

But in any case, since there is no rebellion, since he is still under the banner of the Sui family, then Yang Guang is alive, after all, he has a great influence on the Liaodong court, especially that emperor is not in Liaodong, but in Jiangdu There is another court.

Now that he is dead, there is no one to suppress the Liaodong Imperial Court anymore.

"Then we can send a national funeral, and then play the name of crusading against the rebellion of killing the king, and at the same time, I believe that once the emperor dies, some of the court officials and soldiers who are still holding on to the emperor will fall to us." Wei Zhengdao.

While pouring tea for Wei Zheng, Luo Cheng told the latest situation in the Central Plains to this confidant and strategist.

"After Yu Wenhua and the killing of the monarch, he became the emperor of Daxu for a day, and then he was killed by Li Yuan, Chen Ling, Shen Guang and others who broke through Jiangdu."

"And this?" Wei Zheng was very surprised at this time, since Yu Wenhua dared to kill the king, there was no reason why he was not sure at all, and he would only be the emperor for one day? It's too grassy.

Luo Cheng also couldn't help shaking his head.

Li Yuan still refused to belong after all, and finally went against him.

"And now?"

So Hou Mochen told Wei Zheng that now Empress Xiao has become the regent empress dowager, and Li Yuanlai and Hu'er and other six people have become auxiliary ministers and worship the prime minister. However, Li Yuan had already led his army north, leaving Chen Ling to stay in Jiangdu.

"Li Yuan left Jiangdu?"

"Well, they have crossed the Huai River, and they have made peace with the Lai Hu'er Association in Pengcheng, and they have replenished a lot of grain and grass soldiers from Pengcheng, and they are heading north along the canal. It seems that he wants to return to Xijing by taking the road from Li Mi, but for the time being, I don't know if Li Mi will give way. ”

"But what is more interesting is that the Empress Dowager Xiao and Li Yuan of Jiangdu set up Yang Yu in Guanzhong as the emperor, but Wang Shichong of Luoyang, who was worshiped by them as the auxiliary prime minister, was not convinced, but supported Yang Tong, the king of Yue, as the emperor, and the year name Huangtai, and now Luoyang claims that Li Yuan is holding the empress dowager hostage and plotting against him, so he is designated as a rebel, and Li Yuan is to be attached to the Luoyang court and return the empress dowager."

Wei Zheng couldn't help but smile and said, "There is an emperor in Xijing Daxing, an emperor in Luoyang, the eastern capital, and then we have an emperor in Liaodong?" This Yang family is divided into three, this is a good thing, whether it is the Son of Heaven in the Eastern Capital or the Son of Daxing, they are all the nephews of our Son of Heaven in Liaodong, and they are in civil strife, which is beneficial to us. ”

Luo Cheng said disappreciably, "There are enough sons of heaven in the world now." ”

However, Luo Cheng also admitted that with the killing of Yang Guang, it also means the end of an era.

The last bit of majesty of the Great Sui Imperial Court has also been torn apart by Yu Wenhua and others, and now there is no orthodoxy, only the strong are respected.

"Emperor Taizongwu? Is this excessive? Wei Zheng heard the nickname and temple number given to Yang Guang by the Jiangdu Imperial Court, and couldn't help pouting.

Luo Cheng nodded, "It's really too much, we can't use this." ”

So Wei Zheng and Luo Cheng discussed it together.

"Emperor Shenzongming!"

In the end, Luo Cheng made a decision, Emperor Ming, Ming praised and depreciated, Yang Guang could neither be virtuous nor far-sighted, let alone follow the Quartet and think far.

As for the temple number of Shenzong, it is definitely not as good as benevolence, filial piety, civil and military, tossing the country into this, although it has not died when it dies, it is not much better, and it is not bad to give a temple number of Shenzong, if it is not for the death of the country, even the temple number is not qualified to have.

"Then respect Empress Xiao as the Queen Mother."

As for the two sons of heaven in Luoyang and Daxing, they were naturally not recognized and were characterized as pseudo-emperors and anti-kings, and even Li Yuan was characterized as a rebel by Luo Cheng.

Since you refuse to join and cooperate, you are an enemy, and there is nothing to be polite about.
