Chapter 405: Calculation (3)
At the post station outside Yongzhou City in the south of Chang'an City, a large group of people dressed as officials and a large group of prisoner-like people were resting at the post station there:
"Hey! It's hot weather! ”
"Yes! It's hot! ”
"Ugh! This bad man! Can you give saliva to drink? ”
"What kind of water do you drink when you step on a horse? Uncle, I haven't drunk it yet! Get lost! ”
"Yes, yes, yes! I'm out, get out! "This group of people is Wang Shichong and his clan who were escorted to Bashu. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info is now being escorted to Bashu by the officials of Chang'an Mansion.
"Damn, it's really been eight lifetimes of blood mold, and labor and management have this errand, hum! Otherwise, I said, these traitors should all be slaughtered, and the provincial Lao Tzu would have to take such a long detour. ”
"Ugh! Be quiet! Not! ......" Another official stopped him and looked over to Wang Shichong, who glared at Wang Shichong and his clan.
"Look at what! Get out of the way of labor! When Wang Shishi heard the reprimand of the servant, he immediately retracted his head. When the officials didn't notice this, Wang Shishi quietly said to Wang Shichong:
"Fifth brother, I always feel that something is wrong! You say, will Li Yuan have any moths at that time! Wang Shichong patted his tired shoulder:
"Big brother, don't think about it, let's have a good rest! I have to hurry tomorrow! "These days, these officials have tortured them along the way. However, Wang Shichong felt that if this was really the case, he would be at ease. Because Wang Shichong believes that, on the one hand, he himself is a prisoner, and he has no money to honor them, and it is fair for these servants to torture him; On the other hand, if these officials would treat themselves kindly, then Wang Shichong would still think that Li Yuan had some conspiracy. In the evening, a group of black-clothed men came to the post station, and the official on duty shouted:
"Who?"
"Be quiet, what?"
"Ahh It's Lord Dugu! "The person who came was Dugu Xiude:
"Are all the people in there?"
"Yes, adults, all of them are in it, not a single one of them has run, they are sleeping dead, these days, the little ones are trying to torture them, and now, these people are exhausted. It's definitely not a lot of effort. Dugu Xiude nodded, took out a package from his body, and the official almost fell when he mentioned it:
"Yo! Thank you, Lord Dugu. Dugu Xiude nodded and covered his face. With a wave of his hand behind him, a group of people entered. It didn't take long for the screams to be heard in the station.
The next day, news came from the Yongzhou Post Station that Wang Shichong and his relatives were hacked and killed in the Yongzhou Post Station, and the heads were taken away by the murderer, and the death was terrifying. Li Yuan was furious, and directly called Li Jiancheng over and reprimanded:
"Bastard, prince, you are in charge of public security in Guanzhong, but you didn't expect such a vicious case to happen, is this how you do things for me? Examine! Check it out to me! We must find out about this matter. After Li Jiancheng was reprimanded by Li Yuan, he returned to his uterus sickly. Who knew that as soon as he entered the East Palace, he heard Zheng Wanzhen and Yang Yan report:
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, you're back."
"What's going on?" Zheng Wanzhen anxiously reported to Li Jiancheng:
"Your Highness, today my father brought Xiao Tao, as well as Dugu Xiude, and Master Yang of Master Yang and his only son Yang Yuzhi, they are all here." After hearing Zheng Wanzhen's report, and then looking at Zheng Wanzhen and Yang Yan's expressions, Li Jiancheng vaguely felt that it was related to Wang Shichong's death. Li Jiancheng came to the living room, and Yang Shidao and Zheng Yuanxiu immediately knelt in front of Li Jiancheng:
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the little dog is ignorant, please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to say a word or two for the little dog in front of the Holy One."
"Yes! His Royal Highness the Prince, please His Royal Highness the Prince, look at the old minister, and there is only such a single seedling as Yuzhi, and ask His Royal Highness the Prince to see that Yuzhi and His Royal Highness King Qi's daughter Shouchun County Lord will become a husband and wife, save the child! Dugu Xiude looked at Zheng Yuanxiu and Yang Shidao coldly, recalling the scene when the eldest grandson Wuji had a conversation with him:
"Lord Eldest Sun, my father died in the hands of Wang Shichong, I must avenge this revenge!"
"Lord Dugu is not impatient, as the saying goes, the hatred of killing one's father and digging the ancestral grave is the most intolerable thing in the world. I understand the feeling of adult below. However, at the beginning, His Royal Highness the King of Qin promised Wang Shichong that he would not be held accountable for the crimes he had committed before and would try his best to preserve his surrender in Kaicheng and not resist. If you let our King Qin go back on our word, I'm afraid something is wrong with this matter! "The eldest grandson Wuji has something to say in his heart yet-when Dugu Xiude first took refuge in Li Tang, he cried loudly to Li Yuan:
"Your Majesty, the father of the minister died a miserable death! I ask Your Majesty to send troops quickly to eradicate Wang Shichong in Luoyang, and the minister will cut Wang Shichong with a thousand knives, dig out his heart, and pay tribute in front of the spiritual seat of his father. ”
"Xiude! I understand your feelings, and you can rest assured that when the time comes, I will mobilize a large army and sweep Luoyang. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Dugu Xiude waited, and waited until Li Shimin led the army to conquer Luoyang, and Dugu Xiude directly found Li Shimin:
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin, the last general Dugu Xiude came to report." Li Shimin saw Dugu Xiude draped all over his body:
"Ahh Xiude, why are you here. ”
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin, the last general heard that His Royal Highness the King of Qin ordered the army of Qi to go to Luoyang, and the last general asked for his life, participated, and asked His Royal Highness the King of Qin to complete it." Li Shimin said with a smile:
"Xiude, you are still young and inexperienced in the killing field! Let's go back first! ”
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin, I ......" Li Shimin stopped talking, and the guards pulled Dugu Xiu out of Li Shimin's military camp.
"What a nuisance!" The eldest grandson Wuji asked Li Shimin:
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin, the humble ministers see that this Dugu cultivation is also a piece of filial piety, otherwise, the King of Qin will agree!"
"Humph! It's not that the king doesn't want to help him, but because the father doesn't want the people of the Dugu family to participate in all the affairs of the army, since the Dugu Huai'en rebellion happened, there is a shadow in the father's heart, and the king has no choice! Eldest Sun Wuji nodded. Dugu Xiude saw that the eldest grandson Wuji did not speak:
"Lord Eldest Sun, Lord Eldest Sun ......"
"Hmmm! Lord Dugu, what's wrong? ”
"Lord Eldest Sun, what are you thinking?"
"Oh! Nothing, Lord Dugu, if you want to take revenge, it's not that you can't, it's just that you have to pull a few more people! The eldest grandson Wuji muttered beside Dugu Xiude's ear, and Dugu Xiude nodded. In Qinmian Building, the most prosperous restaurant in Chang'an, a group of young people are drinking and having fun there. A young man put a singer and dancer on his lap, and forced the singer and dancer to drink:
"Come on! Have a drink! Come! ”
"My lord, don't!"
"Ugh! My lord, the slave family can't drink anymore! ”
"It doesn't matter! You're drunk, uncle, I'll wait for you! When the man finishes speaking, he will kiss him with his mouth. Suddenly, the sound of a glass falling to the ground and shattering was stopped.
"Hmmm! Brother Xiude, it's hard for everyone to be so happy, how can you start your temper. It was Dugu Xiude who lost his temper, and a slightly older boy waved his hand to the singer and dancer in the house:
"Go down, go down!" The singer and dancer present knew that something was going to happen, and immediately walked away with interest.
"Brother Xiude, everyone is a brother, if there is anything uncomfortable in your heart, just say it!" Dugu Xiude continued to pour himself a cup:
"Humph! At the beginning, I personally went to beg Li Shimin, hoping that he could let me join the army, conquer Luoyang, and avenge my father, but Li Shimin insisted on refusing, and later, Li Shimin pacified Luoyang, not only did not kill Wang Shichong, but also escorted Wang Shichong back from Luoyang. The gentleman who put the singer and dancer on his lap laughed and said:
"Hahaha! What should I do? Isn't it just such a small thing? Brother Dugu, don't worry, don't be sad about this matter, since Brother Dugu Xiude wants to avenge his father, then do it if you want to do it! What is it like to be dejected here! Zheng Yuanxiu's concubine originally gave birth to three sons to Zheng Yuanxiu, but two were either sick or died early, and only one was left, so he was very pampered, plus Zheng Tao's brother-in-law is Li Jiancheng, so Zheng Tao has become the number one gentleman in Chang'an City.
"Ahh Brother Zheng Tao's words are wrong, then Wang Shichong has been pardoned by the emperor and sent to Bashu, if we do this, this is directly slapping the emperor in the face! The person who spoke was called Yang Yuzhi, the grandson of Yang Xiong, the former Sui Guan King, and the son of Yang Zhengdao - Yang Xiong. Because of its nobility, it is favored by Gao Gong, Yu Qingze, and Su Wei. Later, because he won the hearts of the people, he was jealous of Emperor Wen of Sui, and Emperor Wen of Sui seized his military power and appointed him as Sikong. In the nineteenth year of Kaihuang, he was renamed King of Qingzhang, and in the first year of Renshou, he was renamed King Ande. After Yang Guang ascended the throne, he successively served as the crown prince and the prince, the assassin of Huaizhou, and Jing Zhaoyin, etc., and changed the title of King Guan. In the eighth year of the Great Cause, Emperor Yang of Sui went east to Goguryeo, and Yang Xiong went out with the army. On March 10 of the same year, Yang Xiong died in the army at the age of 73. After the death of Yang Shidao in the Sui Dynasty, when he lived in Luoyang and Wang Shichong assisted Luoyang, Yang Shidao saw that Wang Shichong had the intention of usurping the throne, so he quickly fled to Chang'an, worshiped Yitong and Ma Duwei, and married Li Yuan's fifth daughter, Princess Guiyang, as his wife. And Yang Yuzhi is the son of Yang Shidao and Princess Guiyang. Because of their family backgrounds, these three people often correspond.
"What is Brother Yang talking about, don't look at what the three of us are family affairs! Dugu brother, a member of the family of Empress Yuanzhen's mother. Brother Yang, what about you! My mother is the fifth daughter of the emperor, and she will still be the son-in-law of the prince of Qi in the future, and the king of Qi and my brother-in-law also have a close relationship, and there is a high roof when the sky falls. Besides, avenging the father is a matter of course. I don't believe that the emperor will do anything to us for the sake of a Wang Shichong! Dugu Xiude nodded, his eyes kept staring at Yang Yuzhi, but Yang Yuzhi didn't speak.
"Hey! Brother Dugu Xiude, Brother Yang is a little scared, this matter, the younger brother will do it with you! Yang Yuzhi heard the contempt in Zheng Tao's words, and gritted his teeth:
"Alright! I did it. Zheng Tao and Dugu Xiude both had smiles on their faces, but Zheng Tao and Dugu Xiude's smiles were different.
