Zhou destroyed Qi, Luoyang became the "Tokyo" of Zhou, when Emperor Yu Wenyun Xuan, Luoyang Palace was built in Luoyang, and the six prefectures of Tokyo and Luozhou were placed in charge, and the seven governors of Heyang, You, Henan, Xiang, Bo, Qing and Xu were all under the jurisdiction of the six prefectures of Tokyo.
When Yang Jian was the assistant to the government, and his son Yang Yong was the governor of Luozhou and the Tokyo Otsuka Jae, the importance of Luoyang can be seen.
Now that the Zhou State has recovered Luozhou, Prime Minister Lieutenant Chi Hui is stationed here, waiting for the official army to recover the land east of the river, and by the way to deal with some tricky affairs, which can only be decided by him now.
In the Luozhou Governor's Mansion, Wei Chi Hui was meeting guests, and the guests were a little special, it was his nephew Wei Chi An.
Wei Chi Hui's younger brother Wei Chi Gang went before him, his eldest son Yu Chi Yun is no longer alive, the second son Wei Chi Qin is the governor of Qingzhou, and the third son Wei Chi An is a descendant, inheriting the title of Wu Guogong of Yu Chi Gang.
After Wei Chi Hui raised troops against Yang in the second year of the elephant, Wei Chi'an, who was stranded in Chang'an, took refuge in Yang Jian, and later became a courtier of the Sui State.
Now that the world has changed, the Zhou army has come back, Yuwenliang has invaded Chang'an, and Wei Chi'an's family has been put to an end, but his identity is special, and only Prime Minister Wei Chi Hui can make a decision.
"Forced by the situation, uncle doesn't blame you, Da Lang's sons were imprisoned in Chang'an, and they were more or less taken care of by you."
Wei Chi said slowly, looking at his nephew's appearance, he seemed to see his younger brother Yu Chi Gang, after all, Yu Chi An was his brother's sister-in-law, and he didn't make any big mistakes, so...
"Your family has a good life, don't think so much, but this matter can't be let go gently, otherwise your uncle will not be able to convince the public, and the title of Duke of Wu will be given to your fourth brother Ajing."
"Thank you uncle for not killing."
Wei Chi couldn't help kowtowing, his uncle's disposition was completely expected, his second brother Wei Chi Qin and fourth brother Wei Chi Jing have been following his uncle Wei Chi Jing, they are all their own family, and sooner or later there will be a day when they will rise again.
"Uncle, it's not easy for Sanniang, my nephew begs my uncle to be gracious, so that she can have something to rely on."
"Sanniang, alas..."
Yu Chi Zhen was a little sad, his daughter Yu Chi Sanniang, married Yang Cheng, the second lang of Yang Zhong, the Duke of Suiguo, and later Yang Cheng followed the army to crusade against Qi and died on the battlefield, Yu Chi Sanniang became a surviving person, guarding his son Yang Zhiji to live.
Yang Cheng is the second brother of the usurper traitor Yang Jian, and it is said that he should settle the account, but...
"Uncle, Yang Cheng has always been at odds with Yang Jian, in the past when Emperor Wu was in power, the two had a lot of trouble, and Yang Cheng was killed in battle when he was in Pingqi, what can she do if things are like this?"
Wei Chi'an cautiously persuaded that some of his family's words were more convenient, and his own virtue was at a loss, so he could only pull the Yang family's daughter-in-law, Wei Chi Sanniang, together, so that the world's criticism would be less.
Seeing that Wei Chi was groaning, he continued: "Anyway, Ayi's sons were not castrated by Yang Jian, so they were left behind..."
Wei Chi sighed: "But if you let Yang Zhiji go, what about Yang Zhan?" ”
"Yang Sanlang is deeply trusted by Emperor Wu, and he has always had trouble with Yang Jian, and this uncle also knows it, not to mention his wife Yuwen... Uh, I think Qi Guogong will think the same way, right? ”
The more people who are forgiven, the more conspicuous the matter of Wei Chi'an being forgiven, of course, he is not untargeted, the problem of Yang Zhiji and Yang Zhan's family is indeed debatable.
The three brothers Yang Jian, Yang Quan, and Yang Zan originally had an awkward relationship with each other, and even their respective wives Dugu, Yuchi, and Yuwen were making trouble with each other, in fact, this was also the embodiment of the internal contradictions of the Zhou State back then.
In the past, King Yuwen of Jin forced Dugu Xin to death, and the Yuwen family and the Dugu family had a knot, and the Yuwen family split into the Jin King Party and the Imperial Party, and the Wei Chi family and the Yuwen family, who were biased towards the Jin King Party, had a knot.
The so-called three women in one play, the four brothers of the Yang family, Da Lang, Erlang, and San Lang married women from the Dugu family, the Yuchi family, and the Yuwen family respectively, what is strange about the in-laws tossing?
Yang Jian usurped the throne, Yang Zhiji, Yang Quan's orphan, and Yang Zhan's family all became clans, but Yang Zhan continued to have trouble with Yang Jian for his wife Yuwen's family, and Yang Zhiji has been cautious, for fear that he will not be able to keep his mother Yu Chi's family, and these two families are estranged from Yang Jian.
Kill, no problem, but there are some benefits if you don't kill, what reflects the magnanimity of the imperial court, it is inevitable, let the women of the Yuchi family and the Yuwen family protect their respective families, so they are all happy, right?
Wei Chi Yu closed his eyes and rubbed his temples, and did not make a decision, Yu Chi An retired, it was not good to say that it was too much, and after a while, three young people walked in and saluted Yu Chi Yu.
"Grandfather."
"Sit, sit, don't be restrained."
Opening his eyes, Wei Chi Zhen looked at his eldest grandson, his eldest son Yu Chiyi, was arrested when the elephant rebelled against Yang in the second year, and was beheaded in Chang'an, and his three young sons have been locked up since then.
thought that he would be castrated by Yang Jian, but when Yu Wenliang attacked Chang'an and rescued these three, he found that there was no such thing, so that his eldest son's incense was saved.
"Are you used to living in Luoyang?"
Wei Chi asked kindly, and the three young men nodded, looking a little restrained, perhaps because they had been locked up for too long, and they were a little submissive.
"Don't be afraid, with your grandfather and a few of your uncles, you'll be fine."
People like nostalgia when they are old, and they are easy to be sad when they are nostalgic, Wei Chi Yu looked at his eldest grandson and remembered a lot of past events.
His wife Yuan, the princess of Jinming of Wei, gave birth to three sons, for Wei Chiyi, Wei Chikuan, and Wei Chishun.
And the three sons of the Yuan family, only Yu Chiyi's descendants are sons, Yu Chi Kuan died early, Yu Chi Shun now only has two daughters, and now the eldest grandson is safe and sound, and the incense is not broken, which can be regarded as an explanation to his wife.
Not only that, but the three eldest grandsons are here, so the incense of Yu Chikuan and Yu Chishun will also be lost.
At that time, his uncle Yuwentai raised troops against Gao Huan, Gao Huan put the Yuwentai people who were stranded in Jinyang and had no time to run, Yuwentai's nephew Yuwen Shifei was killed, and his son Yuwenzhou was castrated.
Now Yang Jian somehow didn't do anything to Wei Chiyi's son, so that Wei Chiyi, as a grandfather, was a little hesitant.
There was a carriage parked outside the mansion, and a gorgeously dressed young woman got out of the carriage and slowly walked into the mansion.
"How, have you arrived?"
The woman asked anxiously, Cui Da nodded and said that he had brought it, and he would meet the prime minister in a while.
"Cui Neishi, I have to help my brother say a few good words in a while!"
"Don't worry, madam, brother and sister are also relatives of Da Li, they are all the bloodline of the Boling Cui clan, so they naturally want to help each other."
Cui Da led the woman to walk in the corridor, turned a few corners, but saw a guard walking in front of him with two middle-aged men, about to come to the hall where the prime minister was meeting guests.
"Brother!"
The woman shouted anxiously, but was stopped by Cui Da in a low voice: "Don't worry, madam, Da Da will go over." ”
The wife of the Duke of Wei'an County, Chi Dan, was surnamed Cui, and her two brothers, Cui Hongdu and Cui Hongsheng, were formerly courtiers of the Sui State and were brought here after the recent surrender to be disposed of by Wei Chi Hui.
There are Cui Hongdu, Cui Hongsheng brothers, etc., and one of their younger sisters is the wife of Chi Dan, the son of Chi Hui, the prime minister of Zhou State.
Cui Xian, one of the three rooms of the Cui family in Boling, is now the head of the family Cui Dalian, and as the confidant of Prime Minister Wei Chi Yuan, he naturally wants to lend a helping hand to his relatives.
In the second year of the elephant, Wei Chi raised troops against Yang, Yang Jian sent a large army to attack outside Yecheng, and Cui Hongdu, the head of the march, was also among them, as a result, the imperial army was defeated, and Cui Hongdu and his younger brother Cui Hongsheng were only spared.
If it was just out of helplessness before, it was still excusable, but the Cui Hongdu brothers continued to be Sui ministers for a few years, and now surrender is another way of saying it, but Cui Da doesn't think there is anything wrong.
Everyone is a descendant of the Boling Cui family, one of the three rooms is valued by the prime minister, and the second room is the prime minister's in-laws, and the prince of Wei'an County is now clearly about inheriting the mantle of the prime minister, what can't be said?
Yu Wenliang can pretend to be magnanimous and win people's hearts, so why can't the prime minister? (To be continued.) )
