Chapter 199: Yang Wu's Anger
Half of Yang Wu's current status comes from his father's prestige, and the other half is his own campaign this year, with the support of Li Shenfu, Zhou Ben and other generals, and he has sufficient confidence. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In contrast, the confidence of those noble generals is not so sufficient, so this time after Yang Wu was canonized as Jieduliu, even if the generals from all over the country held important positions, they also sent their sons to Guangling to celebrate, just in time for tonight's party.
By the time the feast was only a quarter of an hour, the sons of the families had almost arrived. Although these sons are all members of the Huainan Xungui family, the fathers behind them also have different identity backgrounds, so after coming to the Zhou family, they gradually divided into several small circles.
First of all, it is naturally a series headed by Li Chengding and Zhou Ye, and there is no doubt that this department fully supports Yang Wu; The second is headed by Tao Jingzhao, the son of Tao Ya, and Liu Wei's son Liu Cheng, the characteristic of this faction is that the parents behind him often serve as local assassins, and they have little friendship with Yang Wu, so they came the most tonight, gathered together and chatted quietly, and the topic was mainly the upcoming battle to rescue Qingzhou Wang Shifan and the battle of Duhong in the west; The third group is headed by Li Chan, the son of Li Chenghe, and these people get together to talk about some interesting stories about the wind and snow or Guangling.
When Yang Wu said goodbye to Zhou Mengjie and came to the banquet hall, he saw these three small circles talking to each other.
"I'm sorry to be late, you guys are chatting so happily, I don't know what you're talking about?" Yang Wu said with a smile.
"It's not too late, it's not too late, I've seen His Royal Highness the Prince!" Everyone hurriedly got up and saluted.
These people are more familiar with Yang Wu except those who live in Guangling, and the rest of Yang Wu, whose parents served as assassins in other places, do not know much about them, but fortunately, Li Chengding is on the side and introduces Yang Wu to everyone present one by one, which also avoids his embarrassment.
"This is Tao Jingzhao, the son of Shezhou Tao Envoy......"
"This is Wang Chongwen, the son of General Wang Juan......"
"This is Chai Kehong, the son of Gwangju Thorn Shi Chai......"
"This is ......"
When he came to a young nobleman, Li Chengding smiled and said: "Shizi, you don't know anyone else, you should know this one, right?" Xu Zhihe, the son of Suzhou Xu Zhijun, almost became your younger brother. ”
Hearing the name Xu Zhihe, Yang Wu couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, in history, he finally usurped the throne and established himself and established the Southern Tang Dynasty.
In fact, by this time, his foundation was already solid, and he naturally would no longer be afraid of Xu Wen as he did at the beginning. Moreover, recalling history, Xu Wen and Zhang Hao launched a mutiny, which was certainly caused by their personal ambitions, but Yang Wu's own death also played a great role.
At the beginning, Yang Wu connived at his cronies to suppress the heroes, and he liked to hunt and did not do his job; Once, when he was out on horseback alone, his entourage was running along the road, and he did not know where he had gone. Xu Wen went to admonish, but Yang Wu was furious and said, "You think I have no talent, why don't you kill myself as a festival envoy!" Zhang Hao and Xu Wen were very afraid, so they secretly rebelled.
And Xu Wen in this life is still loyal to Yang Xingmi so far, he was sent by Yang Wu to Suzhou to be an assassin, I heard that the local governance is good, the impact of last year's war has been completely eliminated, and Suzhou has a prosperous image. Therefore, Yang Wu naturally will not deliberately target him again.
However, he can be relieved of Xu Wen, but he can't be with Xu Zhihe.
Xu Zhihe's nickname is Peng Nu, and his father Li Rong was nowhere to be found in the war, so he has been wandering in Haozhou and Sizhou since he was a child.
Later, when he was six years old, in the second year of Qianning (895 AD), Yang Xingmi attacked Haozhou, obtained Peng Nu, and adopted him as an adopted son.
Later, Yang Xingmi's sons could not accommodate Peng Nu, so Yang Xingmi had to hand over Peng Nu to his subordinate Xu Wen to raise and name Xu Zhihe.
For this record, Yang Wu didn't believe it very much, Xu Zhihe was only six or seven years old at that time, but Yang Wu was only ten years old at that time, and his younger brothers were not born yet, so where can they talk about not tolerating Xu Zhihe, at most, it was just children fighting together.
At least Yang Wu has no impression of Xu Zhihe from the memories he got from his predecessor.
In any case, there is no doubt that Yang Xingmi has the grace of adoption for Xu Zhihe, but how did he treat the Yang clan after Xu Zhihe usurped the throne?
In history, in 937 A.D., Yang Pu, the king of Wu, ceded the throne to Xu Zhihe. Soon, all the descendants of the Yang family were imprisoned in the Yongning Palace in Hailing (later Taizhou), and they were forbidden to go out of the palace gate for half a step. For the next eighteen years, the descendants of the Yang family were only allowed to marry each other in the palace. If there is a boy in the palace who grows up to five years old, he will be named an official, and then he will be given death and buried in the wasteland outside the palace.
However, even if the Yang family is already so miserable, Xu Zhihe's descendants are still unwilling to let go of the Yang family.
In the third year of Zhou Xiande (956 AD), Chai Rong of Zhou Shizong conquered Huainan on the grounds of appeasing the descendants of the Yang family under the edict. When Li Jing, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, heard about it, he was shocked and hurriedly sent Yin Tingfan, the envoy of the garden, to move the Yang clan from Hailing to Runzhou. But when crossing the river, Yin Tingfan was worried that the Yang clan would make trouble, so he killed all the Yang clansmen. Li Jing was furious when he found out, and in order to appease the people's anger, he ordered Yin Tingfan to be killed and his clan exterminated. However, all this is just for the world to see, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that the mastermind behind all this is Li Jing himself.
With Yang Xingmi's merits and kindness to Xu Zhihe, in the end, his descendants ended up like this, which made Yang Wu hate Xu Zhihe in his heart when he thought about it.
The usurpers in history are generally very wary of the royal family of the previous dynasty, but even for the sake of their own descendants will not be treated in the same way, they generally do not do too much when treating the royal family of the previous dynasty, such as Cao Pi usurping the Han Dynasty, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was named the Duke of Shanyang, and finally got a good death; There are also people like Zhao Kuangyin who treat Chai Rong's descendants more politely.
It is rare for Xu Zhihe and his descendants to treat the Yang family like this. So Li Yu was poisoned by Zhao Kuangyi with a glass of poisonous wine, and in Yang Wu's opinion, there was nothing worthy of sympathy.
On the side, seeing Yang Wu looking at Xu Zhihe with a disgusted expression, Li Chengding said with some doubts: "Shizi, what's wrong?" Is there something uncomfortable? ”
"Ah, nothing!" Yang Wu reacted at this time, and saw Xu Zhihe looking at him with a puzzled expression, and hurriedly said: "Well, Xu Gongzi, I'm really sorry, I was a little uncomfortable just now, but it's okay now!" ”
On the other side, Xu Zhihe felt Yang Wu's strong hostility, and said: "The prince is polite, and he is ashamed." ”
His face didn't show it at all, but he secretly thought to himself: "Why is the prince so hostile to me? Could it be that I have offended him in some way? ”
Yang Wu didn't want to say more to him, nodded to him and turned to Li Chengding: "Brother-in-law, you continue to introduce me." ”
Li Chengding also felt Yang Wu's hostility towards Xu Zhihe, but this was not the time to ask the doubts in his heart, he said with a smile: "Okay, let's continue, the banquet is about to start, and if you can't even name it when you drink it, then you will have to pay a few more glasses of wine." ”
