Li Chun's mind settled for a while, and Du Huangshang persuaded again: "The officers and soldiers of the Sixth Army serve as internal officials, all because they are profitable, and now Weifu is from the prince, they are crabs who have been tied hand and foot, and they can't do anything if they want to." On the contrary, Nanya's Weiyuan Army and Jin Wuwei should get their hands as soon as possible to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos. ”

Li Chun said: "But I don't know what the old gentleman means by making trouble?" ”

Du Huangshang said: "Does the king know the origin of Brown Jinwu?" ”

Li Chun groaned: "In the past, the soldiers were in turmoil, the Emperor Daxing took refuge in Fengtian, the courtiers and the forbidden army were scattered, and there were only dozens of servants with him. There is a Chang'an scoundrel nicknamed 'Golden Eye', and he led thirty children to escort Luan, and he never gave up on life and death. Zhu Wei besieged Fengtian, the grain and grass in the city were exhausted, and the inner servants were unable to cook without rice, and died in shame and anger. Golden Eye heard the news, went out of the city on a rainy night, chiseled ice and fished, and found a fresh fish for the Daxing Emperor, but on the way back to the city, one of his arms was cut off by the rebels. The emperor felt his loyalty and bestowed him with an official title, but he could not succeed and left adrift. It makes me miss my heavens. ”

Du Huangshang said: "Golden Eye was originally a famous gambler in the capital, with hundreds of righteous sons under his hands, known as the 'Four Seas Society', who ran rampant in the capital and was tired of being suppressed by Jingzhao Mansion. Before the change of Jingshi, Jingzhao Mansion asked for a secret decree and wanted to arrest him together with Jin Wuwei and Weiyuanjun. He escaped with the help of escorting, and the Jingzhao Mansion could no longer control him. In the following ten years, his power in the city grew stronger and stronger, and there were no less than thousands of disciples and grandchildren, who responded to every call, and he was really famous. Famous ministers Li Mi and Lu Zhen knew the danger, and repeatedly persuaded Emperor Daxing to restrain him, but the emperor was benevolent and unwilling to add meritorious deeds.

The golden eye is also interesting, and took the initiative to surrender to Jingzhao Mansion, claiming that he would cut off his wings and return to his hometown to retire, without asking about mundane matters. Therefore, he escaped again. In the seventeenth year of Zhenyuan, the golden eye was critically ill, and the court discussed taking the opportunity to ban the Four Seas Society, and on the same day, thousands of Jingzhaoluo soldiers, hundreds of Jinwu and Weiyuan soldiers were mobilized, and 3,000 forbidden troops were seconded from the Shenwu Army, preparing to complete their work in one battle.

At this time, Pei Yanling made a note to the Son of Heaven on his behalf, and the golden eye confessed his loyalty in the table, saying that the Four Seas Society was set up for mutual assistance and self-reliance, although his disciples and grandchildren had been traitors and criminals, but none of them were rebellious ministers, he said that he was a stolen rag, absorbing all the dirty and smelly water for the imperial court, polluting his body, but benefiting the imperial court and the people, if the imperial court gave an order, the Four Seas Society could be dissolved immediately, but the rabble absorbed by him would be spread all over the world from now on, polluting the audio-visual.

Li Chun shook his head and said, "This is obviously full of threats. ”

Du Huangshang said: "But this is not unreasonable, sure enough, the Four Seas Association was banned, and the thousands of chickens and dogs were unrestrained, but it was also a trouble." Emperor Daxing deliberated again and decided to pardon him again. But he must be loyal to the court, listen to the dispatch of the court at any time, contribute to the court, and educate the world by the court. ”

Li Chun nodded and said, "This is a last resort. But how did the name of Brown Gold Wu come about? ”

Du Huangshang said: "In the tenth year of Zhenyuan, the golden eye died of illness, and his righteous son Xiang Zhongguo became the head of the Sihai Society, and the Sihai Society became an errand official who did not take the imperial court under his leadership, and really did several good things. On the Shangyuan Festival in a certain year, the gangsters fought outside the Xiangguo Temple, Jin Wu could not help it, and Xiang Zhongguo led the eighty brown shirt children to quell the chaos, and the Son of Heaven was overjoyed and gave the name Brown Jinwu.

In the thirteenth year of Zhenyuan, there was a great drought in the Central Plains, and Xuzhou was unable to get through, and the nine Zhaowu families took the opportunity to coerce the imperial court to grant them the privilege of Xijing silk horse trade. The silk horse trade of the imperial court was intended to facilitate the consolidation of allies, so how could it be a fake trader? Therefore, their unreasonable demands were rejected, and the nine Zhaowu families joined forces to raise the price of grain in order to force the imperial court to comply. As a result, thousands of dollars of rice were eaten, which caused public resentment to boil and the supply of the government was interrupted. The court used both soft and hard, and after all, it couldn't help him. Later, it was also to come forward to Zhongguo to make the surname Zhaowu Jiu give in. ”

Li Chun said: "It is rumored that the serial extermination of the Zhu family in Huazhou was done by someone instructed by Xiang Zhongguo. ”

Du Huangshang smiled and said: "That is a personal grudge between them, and it has nothing to do with the imperial court." ”

Li Chun didn't ask any more questions.

Zhaowu nine surnames are originally Yue's people, the former residence of Zhaowu City in the north of Qilian Mountain, because it was broken by the Huns, the west is over the green ridge, the branch is divided into kings, there are Kang, An, Cao, Shi, Mi, Shi, He, Mu and other nine surnames, all of them are Zhaowu, so it is called Zhaowu nine surnames.

The nine surnames of Zhaowu are good at businessmen, and trade with China is very early, and the foreign businessmen in China in the Tang Dynasty have the most people with the surname Zhaowujiu, among which the Kangguo people and Shiguo people are the mainstay.

The Tang Dynasty has always been generous to foreign immigrants, and the nine surnames of Zhaowu are all in one mind, and they have made progress, and have done a great deal of business, taking advantage of the political chaos in the middle of the construction period, taking the opportunity to control the supply of rice and grain in almost all important towns in the Heluo area, and becoming a major hidden danger of the imperial court.

When the famous minister Li Mi Fuguo was in power, he pushed the garrison to camp in the western part of Beijing, so as to reduce the supply of rice and grain to Caoyun by the officials and troops in Xijing, so as to break the monopoly of the nine surnames of Zhaowu on grain, and when the time was ripe, eradicate this cancer that threatened the economic lifeline of the hinterland of Guanzhong. This matter was too short because Li Miwei's time was too short, and he was perfunctory and responsible, and finally failed.

"After eating the lesson of Brown Jinwu, the surname Zhaowu Jiu is very deferential to the imperial court, and he no longer dares to think about it."

"Despite this, the thousands of rabble lurking in the capital is a scourge after all. Especially at this time. ”

The nine surnames of Zhaowu took the opportunity to make trouble, so that the entire court was helpless, but was leveled by Xiang Zhongguo, doesn't this mean that if it is against Zhongguo and the court, the court will have no ability to parry? Li Chun frowned, very worried.

Du Huangshang said: "Yes, yes." Since the Son of Heaven was seriously ill the year before last, there was a clear decree in the forbidden place to restrain them from acting rashly. Last year, he asked Xiang Zhongguo to send his disciples and grandchildren, chickens and dogs out of Chang'an, and they were not allowed to enter the city. Xiang Zhongguo is also honest, and he really restricts his disciples and grandchildren not to enter the city and not to cause trouble. This year, the wife in Chang'an City was peaceful, the road was not forgotten, and the house was not closed at night, and there were some scenes of the well-off era in ancient times.

"Therefore, a few days ago, Jingzhao Yin Li Shizuo asked the Four Seas Society to help investigate the culprit who murdered the prince, and the ban was approved. On that day, the old minister asked the prime minister to submit a non-approval fold on his behalf, but no one paid attention to it. Jing Zhaoyin gave an order, and thousands of brown gold went into the city and scattered in various squares, what they wanted, but no one knew wow. ”

Li Chun said worriedly: "This is indeed a trouble. ”

Du Huangshang said: "In order to prevent them from being used by traitors, we must take the two armies of Weiyuan and Jinwu in our hands as soon as possible, plus the soldiers of Jingzhao Mansion, forgive them and they will not be able to turn over any big flowers." ”

It was precisely because of this calculation that Li Chun took the risk of handing over the golden dragon pestle to Qingmo, and he brought it to Tutu Chengxuan to take the command of the Weiyuan army as soon as possible. Du Huangsheng opposed the people who handed over the golden dragon pestle to Li Mao, and Ziqing and Li Chun and his party had common interests in supporting the crown prince to ascend the throne, and they could work together, but now that the overall situation has been decided, it is difficult to ensure that Li Mao will not take the opportunity to make some small moves.

After all, Ziqing, like the three towns of Hebei, is self-righteous and disobedient to the imperial court.

This is just like the newlyweds, the honeymoon is over, and the noise is inevitable.

Li Chun didn't listen to Du Huangsheng's advice, he still chose to trust Li Mao, he had his own plans. (Dissertation College)
