Chapter 443: Li Jiancheng Travels to the North of Qilu (6)
Li Jiancheng walked out of the house lightly, and as soon as he came out, he saw Cao Anbao standing at the door with a smile. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Li Jiancheng quickly helped Cao Anbao up, and now Cao Anbao is also Li Jiancheng's father-in-law. How could Li Jiancheng watch his father-in-law kneel on the ground? Li Jiancheng saw that Cao Anbao had some dew on his body, and he could see that Cao Anbao must have been here for a long time.
"Ahh Your Royal Highness the Prince, how about resting last night!? ”
"Ahh Good! Good! Very good! Li Jiancheng replied with some embarrassment, and Cao Anbao also saw Li Jiancheng's embarrassment, and hurriedly changed the topic:
"Okay, Your Highness the Prince, let's not talk about it. Now let's talk about our topic from yesterday! Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, do you know why Han Baohu was able to cross the Yangtze River and why Yang Guang wanted to build the Grand Canal in the first place? ”
"Hmmm! Ask grandpa for advice. Li Jiancheng's grandfather shouted Cao Anbao's heart was overjoyed. However, Cao Anbao still modestly shirked it.
"Ahh Little old man doesn't dare to be it! Li Jiancheng knew Cao Anbao's thoughts in his heart, but he still touted it.
"Grandpa, you deserve it. When! Cao Dan was said by Li Jiancheng a few times, and his old face turned red. I know I can't pretend like this. Immediately explained to Li Jiancheng the reason why Han Baohu's southern crossing was smooth.
"At the beginning, since Sima Yi's son Sima Ling was in Langya, Langya Wang was the chief staff of King Langya, and Wang Dao and Wang Dun were even more humble to Sima Ling's grandson Sima Rui. Later, Wang Dun and Wang Dao went to Jiankang with Sima Rui to start the Kang Wang family, but there were still a large number of people from the Langya Wang family who stayed in Langya. Moreover, the Southern Dynasties went through the Eastern Jin Dynasty and then the Song, Qi, Liang, and Chen. The Langya Wang clan slowly declined. Whether it was the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Northern Qi Dynasty, or the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Langya Wang clan did not decline, but slowly returned to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and derived the family house of the Taiyuan Wang clan. Does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know what the reason is? Li Jiancheng shook his head.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, when Sima Rui, the king of Langya, led the Central Plains clan to the south, it was from Langya to the past, and it was a secret road that made thousands of people arrive safely all the way to Jiankang, and later, with the assistance of Wang Dao and Wang Dun, created the foundation of the Southern Dynasty, Wang Dao was named prime minister, Wang Dun was named a general, in charge of the military and political power of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the members of the Langya Wang family who came to Jiankang were also in high positions, and in the court of the Jiankang Southern Dynasty, the limelight of the children of the Langya Wang family was unshaken. However, there were rumors that the king and the horse were in the world, and Sima Rui felt that the imperial power was declining, and three-quarters of the officials in the government and the opposition were from the Wang family or related to the Wang family. The fall of power caused Sima Rui to be extremely dissatisfied, and he cited Liu Kui, Diao Xie, Dai Yuan, etc. as confidants in an attempt to suppress the power of the Wang family. Eventually, the Wangdun Rebellion was triggered. After the accession of Emperor Ming of the Jin Dynasty, the rebellion of Wang Dun was completely pacified, and since then, from the beginning of Emperor Ming of Jin Dynasty to the Chen Dynasty of the Southern Dynasty, the Jiankang Wang clan gradually declined, which led to Liu Yuxi's "Wuyi Lane". "I heard Cao Anbao mention "Wuyi Lane". Li Jiancheng whispered softly:
"The wild grass and flowers by the Vermilion Bird Bridge, the sunset at the mouth of Wuyi Alley. In the old days, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people. It's just that this palace doesn't know what this has to do with the Langya Wang family? And why was the Langya Wang clan repeatedly used in the Northern Dynasty, and the Langya Wang clan was not wiped out by the Southern Dynasty? ”
"Your Royal Highness, it's not that the Southern Dynasty was unwilling to exterminate the Langya Wang Clan, it's just that the Southern Dynasty and the Langya Wang Clan had a tacit understanding. At the beginning, the leader of the Langya Wang's stay, Wang Dun and Wang Dao's cousin Wang Yi negotiated with Tao Kan, the commander of the Southern Dynasty, and forced each other in the name of telling the northern court the secret road to the south, and the Southern Dynasty also took care of its own frequent internal strife and it was difficult to attack the north by force, so it let go of the Langya Wang, and also reached an agreement with the Langya Wang, so that the Langya Wang's family could pay attention to the movements of the northern court at any time, communicate the north-south trade routes, and be responsible for responding to the Northern Expedition of the Southern Dynasty army. Later, after the unification of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the northern court failed to invade the south many times, and it was the Langya Wang clan who came forward to let the two sides withdraw their troops. With all two faces. Li Jiancheng nodded while listening - this Langya Wang clan is really powerful, and his hands and feet are all over the sky! Cao Anbao continued:
"Your Royal Highness, later the northern court was divided into Northern Qi and Northern Zhou, and the Langya Wang clan sent its side branch Wang Qiong to take the four sons Wang Zunye, Wang Guangye, Wang Yanye, Wang Ji and Yu Taiyuan to gain a foothold, and slowly became the Taiyuan clan of the Langya Wang clan. And it was agreed that the two sides exchanged messages. Hearing this, Li Jiancheng was secretly surprised - this Langya Wang clan turned out to be a family with two ends of the head and a rat, and several parties to please him!
"So what does this have to do with Yang Guang's excavation of the canal?"
"At the beginning of the Chen Dynasty, Chen Shubao was in power, only close to his usual Donggong Xingchen, for the Southern Dynasty clan and Langya Wang clan did not treat favorably, Langya Wang has long been dissatisfied, plus the Great Sui has been established, the unification of the north and the south is also the general trend, so when Han Baohu attacked Chen, Wang Qingzhi, the patriarch of the Langya Wang clan, informed Han Baohu of the secret way, and Han Baohu was able to attack Jiankang proudly without the Chen army's precautions, and achieved a great cause. However, Yang Guangwei was narrow-minded and unwilling to be constrained by the Langya Wang, so when he was the king of Jin and the general manager of Yangzhou, he first attracted the Zhang family and the Xiao family in the south of the Yangtze River, and supported them to compete with the Langya Wang, and then after ascending the throne, the Grand Canal was excavated, on the one hand, it made the north-south traffic more convenient, and secondly, it also lifted the dependence of the Langya Wang family on the secret road. ”
"Hmmm! Originally, the palace just thought that the Grand Canal was just to make the north-south traffic more convenient, and to make it more convenient for the south to pay taxes and grain to and from Chang'an, but there was such a reason. Now Fu Gongtuo knows the convenience of the canal, so he is more defensive on the canal. However, I just don't know if this auxiliary public extension can know about the secret passage? ”
"Your Highness, rest assured, the little old man dares to guarantee this matter with the head of the Xiang, and Fu Gongtuo definitely doesn't know about it! Moreover, Wang Qingzhi has already sent a letter, hoping that His Royal Highness will come to Langya as soon as possible and visit the style of Langya Mountain. Li Jiancheng looked at Cao Anbao:
"Grandpa! You're so nice! I heard Li Jiancheng call himself grandfather again. Cao Anbao's face was like a flower. After staying in Mount Tai for about ten days, Li Jiancheng was about to leave for other places. But this time, Li Jiancheng went with a purpose.
"Grandpa! I'm leaving. ”
"Yu Yan! Being by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not like being by his grandfather's side, you must be cautious in your words and deeds! ”
"Yes, grandpa, definitely." Cao Anbao looked at Li Jiancheng again, his eyes full of pleading:
"His Royal Highness the Prince, Yu Yan will have His Royal Highness Prince Lao to take care of her." Li Jiancheng nodded in the car:
"Grandpa, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Yu Yan." Li Jiancheng said while smiling evilly at Cao Yuyan, who was a little embarrassed by Li Jiancheng's eyes. On the way to Langya, Li Jiancheng was not lonely, because he was accompanied by Cao Yuyan in the car.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, this is delicious. Try this! ”
"Hmmm! It's so sweet! ”
"His Royal Highness the Prince, look over there, the scenery over there is good." …… Li Jiancheng started his luxurious and lewd life in the company of Cao Yuyan, whether he was in the car or getting out of the car, he was always with Cao Yuyan, of course, Li Jiancheng's hands and mouth were not idle. It took a total of 12 days to walk and stop and stop. When he came to Langya County, Wang Fangzhi, the patriarch of the Langya Wang clan, was already waiting on the official road to greet him.
"Weichen, the former Qizhou Thorn History Mansion Sima joined the army Wang Fangzhi heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was paraded in Qilu, and specially led a total of 271 people, including men, women, and children of the Langya Wang family, to welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here, and I would like to wish His Royal Highness the Prince a thousand years of life and a thousand years of life." After Li Jiancheng heard Wang Fangzhi's voice, he immediately walked out of Cao Yuyan's gentle township, got out of the car and helped Wang Fangzhi up:
"Oops! Mr. Wang, please get up. Squires flat. ”
"His Royal Highness Prince Xie!" After Wang Fangzhi got up, he carefully observed Li Jiancheng. - Sure enough, it is the posture of the dragon and phoenix, the table of the bright moon, but when Cao Yuyan came out of Li Jiancheng's car, Wang Fangzhi's expression when he looked at Li Jiancheng was a little vivid - there was contempt, strangeness, and disappointment. Of course, Wang Fangzhi said in his heart - 'Isn't that Cao Yuyan, the precious granddaughter of Old Man Cao?' This Li Jiancheng looked like he got up from a woman, could it be that what Old Man Cao said was a bit exaggerated, shouldn't it!? In the past, I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never been a good woman, except for the crown princess Zheng Wanzhen and the side concubine, the former Sui Dynasty princess Yang Yan, there are no other concubines in the family, even when they are out on the expedition, there has never been a matter of looking for flowers and asking willows, now, how did it become like this? Thinking of this, Wang Fangzhi's heart was a little heartbroken, because when Wang Fangzhi saw Cao Yuyan, he touched the past that Wang Fangzhi was most reluctant to recall - in the former Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian had just been enthroned by Chan and canonized Yang Yong as the crown prince, and the patriarch of the Langya Wang clan at that time, Wang Fangzhi's father wanted to take revenge on Chen Shubao, the monarch of Southern Chen, so Wang Fangzhi was sent to the family mission and escorted his own sister, Wang Ying, the first beauty of the Langya Wang family, to Yang Yong's prince's East Palace. became the favorite concubine of the crown prince second only to the prince Liangdi Yun Zhaoxun, and later, after Wang Ying gave birth to Yang Yong, the king of Gaoyang, and Yang Shao, the king of Jian'an, the entire Langya Wang family was immersed in joy, and dreamed of returning to the beginning, the glory of the Langya Wang family in the south of the Yangtze River. But the sky does not obey people's wishes, Yang Yong fell out of favor with Queen Dugu, coupled with the rise of Yang Guang, after Yang Yong was deposed, Langya Wang fell into a panic again, and then, Yang Guang ascended the throne, in order to retaliate, but also to get rid of the Langya Wang's containment, overhaul the canal, Langya Wang's in order to save his life, took the initiative to Yang Guang to offer a huge amount of money, and finally preserved the family bloodline. However, this incident also deeply hurt Wang Fangzhi's heart, Wang Fangzhi looked at Li Jiancheng and said secretly:
"Li Jiancheng, the crown prince is the most precious treasure in the world, I won't sacrifice the fate of my family's women to please you like Qiansui."
