Chapter 361: The Battle Before the War (3)
"Hahaha! Joyfully! Douluda-sama is really a quick talker! This palace is actually very simple, Lord Douluda has now become the palace eunuch, this palace just hopes that you can help this palace do one thing, please. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Wang Xuanying said while signaling that the guards let Dou Luda go, and also moved a chair for Dou Luda to sit down.
"His Royal Highness the Prince! If you want the minister to be the eyeliner of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and monitor the saint? I'm sorry, His Royal Highness the Prince, I will ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to put the minister to death, anyway, these two things, no matter which thing the virtuous minister chooses, he will be executed, it is better for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to give the minister a happy time now! After Dou Luda finished speaking, he directly tore the clothes on his chest, looking righteous and looking at death as if he were at home:
"Please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to give the minister a good time! The minister is waiting here! With that, Douluda closed his eyes, as if waiting for that moment to come. Wang Xuanying knew that Douluda was playing impatient and sprinkling, but Wang Xuanying was not a good stubble.
"Alright! Since the Douluda people regard death as home, but this palace will not cheapen you like this. Someone! stripped the Doulu people naked, found a pair of broken shoes, hung them on the neck of Lord Doulu, and paraded the streets, saying that this person raped the show girl in the East Palace, and the crime was unforgivable, so he was immediately escorted to the execution ground Ling Chi, and before the execution, he paraded the streets for three days. As soon as he heard that Wang Xuanying was going to parade him in the street, Dou Luda was immediately shocked - not only was he indiscriminately charged with raping a show girl in the East Palace, but he also had to be paraded in the street. As a child of a family of the world, Dou Luda has always felt that he is more noble than the ordinary people, if he is charged with rape, and also parade through the streets, the whole Luoyang City is well known, Dou Luda believes that whether it is a relative who stays in the yang world or a parent who has died in the underworld, he will be disgraced, and he will not be buried in the ancestral grave after death, and will be buried in the mass grave. Douluda is scary to think about.
"His Royal Highness the Prince! Promise you that it is! Please let Weichen go! Dou Luda thought that Wang Xuan should be the eyeliner of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and monitor Wang Shichong's movements, who knows that it is another matter.
"Douluda! Tell me about the situation in Luoyang, what will it become in the future? ”
"His Royal Highness the Prince! Weichen thought that our dynasty would be eternal, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would become a generation of Ming monarchs in the future. Dou Luda didn't know what Wang Xuanying was thinking in his heart, so he falsely perfunctory Wang Xuanying.
"Huh! For thousands of generations, this palace will become a generation of Ming monarchs in the future. Hahaha! This is the funniest joke Hongu has ever heard! As soon as he heard Wang Xuanying say this, Dou Luda's heart began to have some clarity.
"Then His Highness means ......"
"Huh! The father is old, and it is no longer suitable to stay on the throne, and the palace wants to ......" Wang Xuanying has not finished speaking, and Dou Luda immediately knelt down:
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, do you want to assassinate the king? Yes! Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you ......"
"Smack!" Wang Xuanying gave Dou Luda a slap:
"Lord Douluda! Your imagination is just too rich. It's not this thing that this palace wants you to do, you're so cowardly, even if this palace really wants to do it, it won't ask you to be an ally. ”
"Then His Highness means ......"
"There is a letter in this palace, to let Lord Douluda help this palace to send to Chang'an, after sending the letter to Chang'an, your character will be completed, and other things will be done by this palace, and it will be done in the future, this woman is yours, when the time comes, you can let her be your wife, and be your concubine and slave! I don't care. Thinking of this, Douluda asked himself:
"Will His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really succeed?" And after Li Shimin returned to Chang'an, after listening to Li Yuan say the news from Douluda in Luoyang, coupled with the news from Du Zhenglun from Luoyang, he immediately discussed with the eldest grandson Wuji:
"Auxiliary! Through the news from Luoyang and the news from Douluda that Wang Xuanying transmitted, this king feels that this Luoyang is captured and is just around the corner! The eldest grandson Wuji is not as optimistic as Li Shimin.
"Your Highness! I think that although Luoyang is now full of holes, there is a saying among the people, called a hundred-legged insect, dead but not stiff. The Danyang infantry under Wang Shichong in Luoyang won the world, Wang Shichong relied on these Danyang infantry to sweep the south of the Yangtze River, and even Li Mi and Dou Jiande did not take advantage of the Danyang infantry back then. In addition, after Li Mi's death, the old Wagang department was all in service for Wang Shichong, and we had to guard against it! Li Shimin smiled and said:
"Auxiliary! Didn't Zhenglun write to say that Wagang's old subordinates, such as Cheng Yanjin, Qin Shubao and others, were very dissatisfied with Wang Shichong and his relatives? The eldest grandson Wuji said with a serious face:
"Lord Wang, I have carefully analyzed, the main dissatisfaction with Wang Shichong's father and son is the surrender of the generals in the former Sui army, such as Cheng Biting Jin, Qin Shubao, Niu Jinda and others, these people have followed Zhang Xutuo to exterminate Li Mi, and finally Zhang Xutuo was defeated and died, Qin Shubao, Cheng Biting Jin, Niu Jinda and others surrendered to Li Mi, and later, Li Mi was defeated by Wang Shichong, Qin Shubao, Cheng Biting Jin, Niu Jinda and others surrendered to Wang Shichong, so, in the eyes of Wang Shichong and others, Qin Shubao, Cheng Biting Jin, Niu Jinda and others are a group of capricious villains, even a beast that is not as good as a dog, so it is not surprising that he used an excuse to bully Qin Shubao, Cheng Biting Jin, Niu Jinda and others. However, there is still Shan Xiongxin in Luoyang, this person is quite prestigious among the old generals of Wagang, and he was known as Li Mi's right-hand man with the white-clothed Divine Arrow King Bodang! Moreover, at the beginning, Li Mi attacked Luoyang several times, and Shan Xiongxin was one of the main generals! "Eldest Sun Wuji's words, it was Li Shimin who slowly calmed down. The eldest grandson Wuji continued:
"Shan Xiongxin is not only brave, Wang Shichong has been loyal to Wang Shichong since he married his own daughter to Shan Xiongxin, and his subordinate soldiers and horses are all trained by Shan Xiongxin himself, and his combat effectiveness is fierce and difficult to fight!" Li Shimin nodded as he listened. The eldest grandson Wuji continued:
"In addition to Shan Xiongxin, there is another person we must deal with."
"Who is it?" Li Shimin asked:
"This person is Wang Shichong's nephew, Wang Renze."
"Wang Ren is ......"
"It is indeed Wang Renze, this person is a rare talent in the Wang family, he is cunning and difficult to deal with, so if you want to capture Luoyang, you must first eradicate Shan Xiongxin and Wang Renze, if these two people are not removed, we will pay a great price if we attack Luoyang. And Luoyang will be used as a base for His Royal Highness to compete with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the future, and there must not be too much loss. ”
"Then what do you mean......" Eldest Sun Wuji knelt in front of Li Shimin and said:
"Your Highness, the battle of Luoyang is very important, and the ministers want to ask His Highness for their lives, and the ministers will go to Luoyang."
"What? Auxiliary, you want to go back to Luoyang, no! The eldest grandson Wuji firmly pleaded with Li Shimin:
"Your Highness, this trip to Luoyang is the most suitable for me to go to Wuji, there are several reasons: on the one hand, to inquire about the situation in Luoyang, second, to help His Highness to find out whether Du Zhenglun's news is true, and third, if these soldiers can be brought over, they will become a solid foundation for His Highness to compete for the crown in the future." Li Shimin was moved and knelt down and hugged the eldest grandson Wuji.
The eldest grandson Wuji returned to his residence in the Qin Palace, and the eldest grandson Wuji then came to the residence of the eldest grandson Wuji:
"Brother!"
"Oh! It's my sister! Yo! Cheng Qian also came. ”
"Uncle!"
"Ugh! Come, Cheng Qian, give my uncle a hug. ”
"Uncle! Remember! Cheng Qian wants to eat Luoyang's famous pollen cake, and his uncle must bring it to Cheng Qian after he comes back from Luoyang! ”
"Good! Cheng Qian rest assured, when my uncle and I come back from Luoyang, I will definitely bring pollen cake to Cheng Qian. The eldest grandson Wuji put Li Chengqian off the shoulders of the eldest grandson Wuji.
"Cheng Qian, you have grown so big and fat, and you are not afraid of tiring your uncle." After putting Li Chengqian off the shoulders of the eldest grandson Wuji, the eldest grandson Wuji said to the eldest grandson Wuji again:
"Brother! You are going out again this time, without your sister not around, you must take good care of yourself, these clothes and silver taels, you take them with you. There are also these dry foods, all of which are made by my own hands, Xiaomei, you can eat well on the road. The eldest grandson Wuji saw these clothes, dry food and silver taels, and his eyes were full of tears.
"Thank you, sister!" The eldest grandson said:
"After arriving in Luoyang, we must go back to sweep our father's tomb and weed! Remember to pay more tribute to your father, burn some paper money, and explain to your father the reason why our unfilial sons and daughters have not been able to do their filial piety for their father all these years! Eldest Sun Wujian remembered the kindness of Eldest Sun Sheng to himself, and unconsciously cried again. The eldest grandson Wuji comforted softly:
"Little sister, don't cry, after my brother arrives in Luoyang, he must go to visit our father." Different from the eldest grandson Wuji, what the eldest grandson Wuji thought about was missing his father Changsun Sheng, and what the eldest grandson Wuji thought in his heart was that when the eldest grandson Sheng had just died, the Wu family and his son Changsun Wuxian drove the Gao family and the eldest grandson Wuji, and the eldest grandson Wuji's mother, son, brother and sister out of the house.
"Sister, I've already made it clear enough, it's useless to talk nonsense, you still know each other, don't let me order you to drive you away." Mrs. Gao is five years younger than Mrs. Wu, but because she is Mrs. Zhengmu, the Wu family still calls Mrs. Gao her sister.
"Sister! The old man just died, and the bones are not cold, you have to split up now, I'm afraid it's not appropriate! ”
"What's inappropriate, as the saying goes, the big people divide the family, the tree is big and divided, and it doesn't matter what the timing, besides, you know the situation of the eldest grandson's family now, the family is so little bit of income, and it can't support so many idlers." When the eldest grandson Wuji heard this, his face immediately couldn't hold back.
"Who do you say is an idler?" The eldest grandson Wuji replied angrily.
"It's the other way around, it's the other way around, who are you talking to, someone! Drag this disobedient and unfilial thing down to me and hit fifty boards! As soon as the words were finished, there were two subordinates who viciously wanted to fight the eldest grandson Wuji, because Yang Guang took the throne after the construction of a large number of buildings, poor soldiers, civil and military officials are often in arrears, and Yang Guang also increased taxes, making all industries in all parts of the country depressed, the income of the major families under the name of the industry greatly reduced, although the Wu family is a common people, but her maiden brother is engaged in the official salt trade, the family is rich, many expenses in the house are paid by their Wu family, and Mrs. Gao is born in the Northern Qi clan, the family education is very good, often followed Changsun Sheng into the palace to participate in court activities, so the trivial matters of the family were handed over to the Wu family, and all the subordinates were in charge with family law and money.
"Bastard thing! Don't look at who you are! Don't think that I'm going to bully when the master leaves, but Wuji has seen the emperor and the queen mother when he enters the palace. I'm going to see what happens to you guys who don't have long sights. When the eldest grandson Shunde heard this, he quickly stopped his subordinates.
"Wait! Brother and sister, no matter how you say it, Wuji is also Ji Sheng's youngest son, a young man! It's inevitable to be open-mouthed, and you, as an elder, should also take responsibility! The eldest grandson Wuao also persuaded from the side.
"Erniang! The fourth brother is young and ignorant, and he hopes that the second mother will forgive his sins! "The eldest grandson Wuao was given an official position by Emperor Wen because of his brother's exploits, plus his mother died early, and Mrs. Gao raised her when she didn't enter the door, so there are still some feelings for each other. Under the persuasion of the eldest grandson Shunde and the eldest grandson Wuao, the Wu family also knew that the board could not hit the eldest grandson Wuji's body, so they got off the donkey.
"Alright! I don't care about young people. But today the elders of the family are here, what should I do, please say a word! ”
"Brother and Sister Gao, I also know the environment of this family, and I also know the difficulties of Brother and Sister Wu, so I ......"
"Alright! Since my sister has made everything clear, then I don't have much reason to stay here, yes, but it's getting late today, and besides, Ji Sheng has just died, so I'm afraid that we will leave for fear of attracting criticism, so I asked my sister to let our mother and son stay for another three days, and we will move out immediately after Ji Sheng is buried. "Having said that, as long as the Wu clan can leave, it is okay to wait for another three days.
"Good! This is what my sister said, three days later, please let my sister be conscious, don't make my sister difficult to be! Wuxian, let's go! Wu proudly left the main hall with Ziji's son, the eldest grandson Shunde left quietly with a red face, and the eldest grandson came to Mrs. Gao without pride.
"Auntie, fourth brother, I ......" Eldest Sun Wuji looked at him coldly, his eyes were like knives, Eldest Sun Wuji hugged Ziji's mother tightly, his face was full of tears, and Mrs. Gao comforted Eldest Sun Wuao.
"No pride, don't blame yourself, you are a good boy, my aunt knows!"
"Auntie, I thank you!" The eldest grandson Wuao knelt in front of Mrs. Gao and kowtowed heavily. Three days later, Changsun Sheng's coffin was buried, and Mrs. Gao took her children to board the carriage that left Changsun Mansion. Eldest Sun Wuji rode on the war horse left by Changsun Sheng. He said hatefully in his heart to the gate of the house:
'Eldest grandson Wuxian, Wu, one day, my eldest grandson Wuji must come back in a grand manner, and I want to grasp the power, I must grasp the power, I want to let the whole world decide their life and death by me, and I must not let anyone trample me under my feet. ’
