In a remote corner under the corner of Mount Tai in Qilu, a thatched house is located under the corner of Mount Tai, in this green green environment, this thatched house and Mount Tai seem incompatible. www.biquge.info In this thatched house, in the middle of a thatched house, a large group of people knelt in front of the two tablets and kowtowed. The two tablets are divided into one large and one small - the big tablet reads: The Spirit Seat of Cao Gong Meng Decao, King of Wei Wu, and the small tablet reads: The Spirit Seat of Xiahou Yuan, the Great Wei General. (There are records in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", saying that Cao Cao's father Cao Song was originally surnamed Xiahou, and was later adopted as an adopted son by the Eastern Han Dynasty eunuch Cao Teng, so the Cao family and the Xiahou family were of the same clan, and then, Sima Yan usurped the Cao Wei regime and slaughtered the Cao Wei clan and the Xiahou clan, and Cao Cao saw that Sima Yi was cunning when he was the king of Wei, and deliberately established seventy-two doubtful tombs in the Central Plains, and secretly built his mausoleum under the corner of Mount Tai, leaving his last words, warning future generations to guard against Sima Yi, if the mandate of heaven belongs to Sima Yi's descendants.) , then let the children and grandchildren escape next to their own mausoleum, according to the pattern of the water to protect the family bloodline. Cao Cao's grandson Cao Yi followed the last words of his ancestors and Xiahou Qiu's grandson Xiahou Qiu and granddaughter Xiahou Yuanfang fled to the foot of Qilu Taishan to avoid trouble. Because Cao Cao is the monarch, Xiahoudun is a courtier, therefore, Cao Cao is the big spiritual position, Xiahoudun is the small spiritual position, in the Wuhu Chaohua and the Northern Wei Dynasty Sinicization, Cao Yi's great-grandsons Cao Ping and Cao Luo began to appear, creating the foundation of the Cao family and the Xiahou family in Qilu. However, due to the relationship between Cao Dan, Mrs. Cao and Dou Jiande, Li Shimin and Li Yuanji wantonly confiscated the properties of the Cao family and the Xiahou family in the name of the rebels' families. ）

"Cao Yuanting, the grandson of the eleventh grandson of the eleventh grandson of King Wu of Wei of Great Wei, Xiahou Dun. Today, I specially took the descendants of the Cao family and the Xiahou family to worship the ancestors, and asked the ancestors to bless our group of descendants to reproduce and increase their heirs. After Tim Fuga! Then, a man dressed in a gorgeous Taoist costume shouted loudly:

"Bye!" Everyone present knelt down with Cao Yuanting to pay homage. After the salute. Cao Yuanting was helped up and sat down by his own children and grandchildren.

"Everyone, since Li Shimin and Li Yuanji fought together against Qilu Doubao, our Cao family because of Cao Dan's bastard, the descendants of our Cao family and Xiahou clan and the hard-earned foundation of our ancestors have been looted by Li Tang's rebels, and the brothers and sisters in the clan have begun to evolve into the deeds of the original ancestors. Everyone present bowed to Cao Yuanting and said:

"Please show the Great Patriarch." Cao Yuanting himself had great authority in the entire clan.

"Since you let the old man make a decision, the old man thinks, it's still the same sentence, let's step on the bow and count the boat, Cao Yezhen."

"Great Patriarch! Ye Zhen is here! "Cao Ye Zhenyan is Cao Yuanting's son, and he has been doing some confidential things for Cao Yuanting.

"Your sister is Heng Guangyuan's concubine, and the Heng family's industry in Qilu has also been affected a lot recently, so you go to sea by sea and land, go to Liaodong first, pass through Youzhou, go to Chang'an in person, go to see Heng Guangyuan, you must tell Heng Guangyuan about our situation, and it is best to have a relationship with His Royal Highness the Prince."

"Yes, Ye Zhen obeys!"

"Where is Xiahou Muyan?"

"Great Patriarch!"

"You have some trade routes in the Jianghuai area, go to Jianghuai, tell Fugongtuo, I hope His Majesty Fugongtuo can send troops to Qilu, but don't easily agree to any conditions of Fugongtuo, and don't arbitrarily prescribe any conditions, everything is waiting for my orders."

"Yes! Mu Yan obeyed. ”

"Where is Cao Pingzhong?"

"Great Patriarch, Ping Zhong is here."

"You have a friendship with the old generals of King Dou on weekdays, and you also have some friendship with Liu Heimin at the beginning, you secretly go to Beizhou to explore Liu Heimin's tone, when the time comes, if Liu Heimin is willing to raise the banner, you will immediately agitate, when Liu Heimin wants to raise troops, you will come back immediately, and say that you want to help Liu Heimin raise food and grass materials, you must remember that you must not show your face to Liu Heimin, understand?"

"Yes! Hei Zhong understood. ”

"Alright, now that everyone has accepted the task, let's go about our own business now!" Everyone saluted Cao Yuanting and said goodbye, Cao Yuanting nodded, everyone left, only Cao Yezhen stayed.

"Hmmm! Ye Zhen! Is there something you can do? ”

"Father, all your arrangements are very proper, but there is one thing that Ye Zhen doesn't understand, please ask the great patriarch to solve your doubts." Cao Yuanting motioned to Cao Yezhen to speak:

"Father, why did you only let us look for Heng Guangyuan? Aren't we also related to Langya Wang, Qingyang Lu, and Boling Cui? Why don't we go to them and contact the prince together and appeal for us before the Son of Heaven? Cao Yuanting shook his head:

"Ye Zhen! You are still too young, you must know that the confrontation between the Eastern Wei and Western Wei, and the later confrontation between the Northern Zhou and Northern Qi dynasties, speaking of which, this is the struggle between our Guandong clan and the Guanlong clan, and now, Li Tang's foundation is in the Guanlong area, so even if we go to appeal to Emperor Li Tang with the Langya Wang clan, the Qingyang Lu clan, and the Boling Cui clan, you must know that Li Shimin and Li Yuanji are princes, and I am afraid that not only will they not be flattered, but on the contrary, they will be beaten, so we can only secretly contact the prince. ”

"However, Li Jiancheng is just a prince after all!" Cao Yuanting smiled:

"Humph! Hum! Hum! Ye Zhen! You still don't understand, first of all, Li Jiancheng is different from Li Shimin, through the rumors from Heng Guangyuan, it is proved that Li Jiancheng is far more broad-minded than Li Shimin, second, it is precisely because Li Jiancheng is the crown prince, so Li Jiancheng is different from Li Yuan, Li Yuan is the founder of Li Tang, when he first ascended the throne, he relied on the support of the Guanlong family to sit firmly, but Li Jiancheng is different, if his father's estimate is good, the king who will dominate the world in the future will definitely be Li Jiancheng. And as the king of the world, he can't just rely on the Guan Longshi clan, didn't Yang Guang do this at the beginning? Wooing the Jiangnan clan and the Guandong clan to confront the Guanlong clan, but unfortunately, Yang Guang was too hasty, and he finally retreated in Jiangnan, so he lost the world. So, now as a father, he is gambling again. ”

"Oh! I understand that my father meant to let Liu Heimin and Jiang Huai fight Li Shimin there, and then drive Li Shimin and Li Yuanji out of Qilu, and then Li Shimin will come forward, and we will help from them, so as to clean up the mess. Cao Yuanting nodded:

"Ye Zhen! You're finally enlightened, so don't go about it! Cao Yezhen nodded.

Chang'an, Renshou Palace, Li Yuan also had a headache, because Cui Junmian, the patriarch of the Cui clan in Boling, and Lu Siwei, the patriarch of the Lu clan in Qingyang, knelt in front of Renshou Palace together, and the two of them cried loudly with a big injustice written in blood, and a large group of officials who knew and were related to the two of them surrounded Cui Junmian and Lu Siwei, and talked about it.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has been wronged! Weichen and Weichen's family have been returning cautiously in Chang'an since Li Tangding established Guanzhong, Weichen and Dou Jiande have no contact, but Weichen's ancestral grave has been dug up, this is Weichen's blood book, please the emperor is the master of Weichen! Your Majesty. Your Majesty! Li Yuan heard the shouts of Cui Junmeng and Lu Siwei, and his heart was irritable, but he couldn't do that about Lu Siwei and Cui Junmian? The reason is very simple - although Cui Junmian was born in the Boling Cui clan, he has been stationed on the northwest border during the former Sui Dynasty, and has many marriages with the Guanlong clan, and the Boling Cui clan is not easy to mess with, and there are many talents in his family. It was one of the first Central Plains scholars to be recognized by the Northern Wei regime during the Sinicization period of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and was related to the children of the former Northern Wei royal family such as the Yuan family and the Changsun family. At the time of the former Sui Dynasty, Li Yuan's aunt Empress Dugu personally went to ask for marriage for Yang Jun, the king of Qin, in order to marry the Boling Cui family. This shows the weight of the Bolingcui clan. And Lu Sidao is not easy to mess with, his brother Lu Sidao is a famous poet during the confrontation between the North and the South. Word line. A native of Fanyang (now Zhuo County, Hebei). During the Northern Qi Dynasty, he was a waiter at the Yellow Gate. During the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the official Zhiyi was the same as the three divisions, and moved to Wuyang Taishou. After entering the Sui Dynasty, the official finally scattered and rode the squire. He was 52 years old. Lu Sidao was a student of Xing Shao, one of the "Three Talents of the Northern Dynasties". During the Tianbao period of the Northern Qi Dynasty, it was famous for its articles. After the death of Emperor Wenxuan of the Northern Qi Dynasty, the scribes of the dynasty each composed 10 elegiac songs, and chose to make good use of them. Wei Shui, Zu Xiaozheng and others only got one or two songs, and only Lu Sidao got 8 songs, so they were called "Eight Mi Lu Lang" at the time. He was the leader of the literary world at that time, and now there are still many people in the middle of the world who respect Lu Sidao very much, and now the ancestral grave of the Lu family in Qingyang has been dug up by the Tang army, and the world's scholars have not scolded Li Yuan as the Qin Shi Huang who burned books and pit Confucianism. Although it is still a nine-product zhongzheng system, anyone who is good at reading books and writing poems. Li Yuan was extremely irritable when he thought of this. immediately sent someone to invite the crown prince Li Jiancheng.

"Hey! Is the prince here!? ”

"Your Majesty, the Father-in-law of the Remnant Moon has gone to invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I believe it will come soon. ”

"Hey! Fast! I'm sending someone to urge you, what's the mess out there now? Send someone to urge again, go and please! Hurry up! The imperial eunuch who was waiting for Li Yuan immediately went down and was about to go to the East Palace to deliver the edict, when he only heard a shout outside:

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!" When Li Yuan heard that Li Jiancheng was coming, he immediately settled down.

"Ahh It's done! You're finally here, quick, sit down with His Royal Highness the Prince! Serve tea! After Li Jiancheng sat down, Li Yuan directly pointed to the messy scene outside and said to Li Jiancheng:

"It's done! You see, you see! Your second brother Shimin and fourth brother Yuanji are in trouble again. "When Li Jiancheng first arrived at Renshou Palace, he was stopped by Cui Junmian and Lu Siwei.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince, Weichen has been wronged! Please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be the master of Weichen! Li Jiancheng immediately helped Cui Junmian and Lu Siwei up.

"Don't do this, two adults! How good it is for me to do what you have done! ”

"Your Highness, the loss of our two family property is small, but the remains of our ancestors are in the wilderness, and it is really unfilial to our descendants! Please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be the master of Weichen! ”

"Two adults, please rest assured, this palace will definitely make decisions for you." Li Jiancheng said to himself in his heart - hey! Yuanji, this kid, had already told him, don't rob money and kidnap folk women, now it's okay, follow Li Shimin, not to mention the powerful property of the Qilu Hebei clan, and dig other people's ancestral graves. Now the son of the family sued his father, and now he can only appease the emotions of these two people first, even after seeing Li Yuan, the palace can only defend Li Shimin and Li Yuanji. Li Jiancheng looked at Li Yuan:

"Father! The second brother is brave and good at fighting, the fourth brother is still young, besides, Dou Jiande raised troops, Dou Bao rebelled again, it is difficult to ensure that it has nothing to do with these Qilu clans, in order to quell the rebellion as soon as possible, the actions of the second brother and the fourth brother are a little intense, but Erchen feels that this matter is not a fault of any fighting! ”

"Their fault is not great! Look at it, look outside, what's going on. Li Jiancheng didn't reply, just lowered his head, Li Yuan probably felt that his speech was a little serious, and his tone softened a little:

"It's done! I'll leave this matter to you, you can deal with it! Li Jiancheng bowed his head and walked out of Li Yuan's dormitory.
