Chapter 363: The Battle Before the War (5)
After hearing what happened to the Wu family, the eldest grandson Wuji sighed in his heart - this is the mansion of the eldest grandson Sheng, when the eldest grandson was alive, Wang Shichong was only a small official, and the Taiyuan Wang family was also a second-rate family, but now he couldn't imagine that Wang Shichong's miscellaneous hu dared to bully the eldest grandson family so much after sitting in the Luoyang court. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Changsun Wuji thought while carefully observing the other people in the Changsun Mansion, and did not see the eldest Sun Wuxian in the Changsun Mansion, so he asked the second brother Changsun Wuao:
"Second brother, where's the third?" After the eldest grandson Wuji was kicked out of the house by the Wu family and the eldest grandson Wuxian, he drove the eldest grandson Wuxian and the Wu family out of the circle of relatives in his heart. When Eldest Sun Wuao heard Eldest Sun Wuji talk about Eldest Sun Wuxian, he immediately sighed and said:
"Hey! He...... "Seeing the appearance of the eldest grandson Wuxian sighing arrogantly, the eldest grandson Wuji wanted to know what the eldest grandson Wuxian was doing now. The eldest grandson Wuao sighed again, and said to the eldest grandson Wuji:
"Fourth brother, you have been working hard all the way, and it is also very hard, go first to rest for a while, I will let the next person prepare the meal, and we will talk while eating." Eldest Sun Wuji nodded and walked in, and Eldest Sun Wuao said to the people in the Eldest Sun Mansion:
"Give it all to me, be strict-mouthed, you must not say anything about the fourth son's return, otherwise, you will all have to die." The subordinates present are all old men from the original Changsun Mansion, and many of them are still the old soldiers of Changsun Sheng, plus Wang Shichong's rampant conquest in Luoyang, which is unpopular, so naturally he will not tell the matter of Changsun Wuji's return.
"Come on! Fourth brother, have a drink. "It is said that it is a wine banquet, but there are only a few vegetarian dishes and a pot of old wine, but the eldest grandson Wuji knows that it is these wine and dishes, and the eldest grandson Wuao must have put a lot of thought into it.
"Ahh Second brother, don't be polite. By the way, second brother, what's going on with the third brother? The eldest grandson Wuao continued to sigh and said slowly, slowly to the eldest grandson Wuji - it turned out that since Wang Shichong became the Taiwei Zheng Wang, due to several killings of Luoyang noble officials, many Guanlong Guandong clans were dissatisfied with Wang Shichong, and often discussed behind their backs:
"Hey! Did you hear that? That Rongyang Zheng family was slaughtered by Wang Shichong. ”
"Yes! I also heard about it, you said that the Zheng family did not end up like this when it was in the former Sui, but now it is good, the family of more than 800 years has declined like this. ”
"Ugh! When I arrived, I heard that the Zheng family was involved in Guanzhong. ”
"Implicated, where is the world family not implicated, and the Lu family, the Gongsun family, and the Pei family, aren't they all family members? Hum! The world is a family, in my opinion, this Wang Shichong must be a rabbit tail that can't grow. ”
"Ugh! I said, isn't Wang Shichong from the Taiyuan Wang family? Why do you think he hates the officials of the clan so much? ”
"Needless to say, isn't it because he's from a miscellaneous background! At the beginning, his mother married the Taiyuan Wang family, and only then pretended to be surnamed Wang, where there is the cultivation style of our Central Plains family! ”
"Huh! This miscellaneous beard! It was so murderous to our Luoyang clan. Speaking of which, the family of the world is originally a family, and the people he killed are all our relatives! It's really a ...... to step on a horse."
"Hey! You also said that he is a miscellaneous beard, and he is not from our Central Plains, what are you fighting with him! Come on, drink ......" These discussions reached Wang Shichong's ears through some officials and children of the Wang family who were close to the children of the Taiyuan Wang family, and Wang Shichong was furious:
"Humph! It's really the opposite, these bastards are really cheap bones. If you don't kill a few more people and don't know what they are doing, labor and management want to see, what are they in their heads? Come on...... "Wang Shichong was about to give an order to arrest and kill all those who spread the word that Wang Shichong was a miscellaneous beard, but before the order could be spoken, Wang Shiyun and Wang Renze persuaded him:
"Please calm the king's anger......"
"Shiyun, Renze, what are you kneeling here for, and it's none of your business, what are you kneeling down for? Don't hurry up and pass on the order of the lonely king. Kill all these rebellious ministers and thieves to the lonely king, and go quickly. Wang Shiyun and Wang Ren persuaded bitterly:
"King! Quit the wrath of the thunder! ”
"Yes! King, there is a sentence these people are right, the world is a family, the major families are relatives, now we have killed Lu Chu, Yuan Wendu, Pei Renji, Pei Xingyan, Yuwen Rutong, and slaughtered the Zheng family, these are all deep-rooted families in Luoyang, killing them, has caused many clan children to be dissatisfied with us, the foundation of our Taiyuan Wang clan is in the Hedong area, but due to Li Yuan and Liu Wuzhou, our Taiyuan Wang family's property in Hedong has been completely lost (Wang Wei is also a side branch of the Taiyuan Wang familyAfter Li Yuan killed Wang Wei, the Taiyuan Wang clan was afraid of being implicated by Wang Wei, and gave a large number of gold and silver industries to Li Yuan as a military expense, and when Li Yuan left Hedong and Liu Wuzhou rose in Mayi, the Taiyuan Wang clan originally wanted to take refuge, who knew that Liu Wuzhou refused to accept it in the name of Taiyuan Wang's gift to Li Yuan's military quartermaster's salary, and in the name of Wang Shichong's Taiyuan Wang's family, the Taiyuan Wang's industry in Hedong was wiped out. Therefore, the Taiyuan Wang clan began to decline, which also made the Taiyuan Wang clan in Luoyang bet their treasures on Wang Shichong's body even more, hoping that Wang Shichong could replace Yang Tong and become the emperor, so that they could also turn over. )”
"Shiyun, Renze, what do you say?"
"The king, now there are only some people who used to be high-ranking families, but have slowly declined in recent years, but they have some connections in front of the world's families as signboards." After listening to Wang Shiyun's words, Wang Shichong nodded:
"Shiyun, Renze, what you said is very reasonable, but where can such a family go to find it?" Wang Shiyun and Wang Ren glanced at each other:
"King! Now in this Luoyang area, there is just a suitable candidate! ”
"Who?"
"The family of the former Sui Huaiyang Taishou and the right Xiaowei general Changsun Sheng is just being used by us!"
"Changsun Sheng......" Hearing this familiar name, Wang Shichong's thoughts seemed to return to his youth, when Wang Shichong was still a teenager, Changsun Sheng's deeds reached Wang Shichong's ears - from the time of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, he began to envoy the Turks, and several times he went to the Turks, and encountered many difficult and dangerous things, but they were all resolved by Changsun Sheng, and the most divine legend is Changsun Sheng's archery, which can shoot the highest eagle flying in the sky. Even Wang Shichong once said to himself that he was not the eldest grandson, and he was also a military general. Later, after Wang Shichong heard the news of Changsun Sheng's death, he once sighed lightly: "It's a pity that I, Wang Shichong, can't get to know a hero like Changsun Sheng!" Later, after Wang Shichong was brought to Luoyang, he also went to Changsun Sheng's purpose to offer condolences. Wang Shichong paced back and forth, and after about a quarter of an hour, Wang Shichong said slowly:
"Hmmm! The eldest grandson Sheng's daughter, the eldest grandson Wuji, is Li Yuan's daughter-in-law, and the fourth son, the eldest grandson, Wuji, is the brother-in-law of Li Yuan's second son, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and the eldest grandson Shunde, who immediately voted after Li Yuan settled in the Dingguan Pass, according to common sense, they are all the rebels of our Great Sui, if I treat the eldest grandson family leniently now, is it a little ......" Wang Shiyun and Wang Ren began to persuade again:
"King, that Changsun Sheng is dead, the prestige of the eldest grandson family is not as good as before, besides, after the death of Changsun Sheng, Changsun Wuji was driven out of the house by his mother Wu and brother Changsun Wuxian. Besides, Changsun Sheng was the god of the Great Sui Army back then, and many soldiers in the army used to be admirers of Changsun Sheng, but now our army is unstable. Just borrow Changsun Sheng's signboard to stabilize the army's heart! ”
"Great King, those who want to become emperors must first have the mind of the emperor, it is precisely because the eldest grandson Wuji and the eldest grandson Wuji, and the eldest grandson Shunde are on Li Tang's side, so we have to reuse the eldest grandson family, so that it can show Your Majesty's mind even more." Under the persuasion of Wang Shiyun and Wang Renze, Wang Shichong finally made up his mind and agreed to be kind to the eldest grandson and the eldest grandson Wuxian. The next day, Wang Shichong expressed the nominal son of heaven Yang Tong, saying that although the eldest grandson Wuji has become a rebel of the imperial court, the eldest grandson Wuao and the eldest grandson Wuxian are still loyal to the imperial court and should be rewarded. Wang Shichong immediately canonized the eldest grandson Wuao as a bachelor of Hanlin in the name of Yang Tong, and the eldest grandson Wuxian was named the general of Luoyang because of some martial arts. However, as Luoyang's military posture against Li Tang became more and more defeated, the life of the eldest grandson family became more and more difficult. The eldest grandson Wuao is just a scholar, and he has no use value in itself, and the eldest grandson Wuxian, as a military general, has a lower and lower official position, and in the end he only mixes up with the imperial horse supervisor. From a janitor to a horseman, and the eldest grandson family was completely lost, it evolved that the Wang clan forcibly seized the original mansion of the eldest grandson and robbed the Wu family's industrial land, and the wizard was also injured by the Wang family's own soldiers.
"Ugh! By the way, the concubine was injured, didn't the third child make a little move. The eldest grandson Wuji asked the eldest grandson Wuao:
"Humph! Moves, since the third child was named the general of the prison gate, he has long regarded himself as Wang Shichong's dog, His Majesty all day and night, before and after His Majesty, later, he fell out of favor with Wang Shichong, and ran to Wang Xuanying, Wang Xuanshu, Wang Xuanqiong, and the three brothers to hug their thighs, but none of the three brothers looked up to him, and in the end, he had to drink with his father's old department and colleagues all day long, and then gamble with his subordinates. The old lady was so badly injured that she came back to take a look and never came back, hey! Forget it, don't mention him, come to Wuji, let's drink. "The eldest grandson Wuao was about to pour wine for the eldest grandson Wuji, but he saw what the eldest grandson Wuji was thinking?
"Fourth brother, what are you thinking?"
"Second brother, what does the third brother have to do with this Luoyang army?"
"He! Although it is not very grown, but among the soldiers and horses from all walks of life in Luoyang, there are a lot of fox friends and dog friends, uh! Fourth brother, do you want to ......?"
