Counting up, Li Yanqing hasn't seen Dou Wei for almost ten years. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

When Dou Wei was a don't drive in Luoyang, Li Yanqing was still living in Zhuyuan. After the rebellion of the white-clothed Maitreya, the eldest grandson Sheng died, and Dou Wei was transferred to Sili Tai'an Don't drive. Speaking of Qing, he escorted the eldest grandson Wujian to Mount Emei to find Sun Simiao to heal Wuji's qi disease.

The two have not seen each other since......

However, Yanqing's gratitude to Dou Wei has never decreased.

Cui Daolin designed to frame him back then, if it weren't for Dou Wei's departure, I'm afraid that he would have become a dry bone in the grave. The Dou family has the grace of sheltering Li Xiaoji, and also has the grace of saving life and appreciation for Li Yanqing. If you count the messy relationships, Li Yanqing regards Dou Wei as an elder. This kind of respect, even higher than Pei Shiju and others, and even higher than the respect for Li Yuan, has never changed.

Therefore, Yan Qing didn't even go home to rest, and went directly to the post house to visit Dou Wei.

Xu Jingzong and other Gong County officials, although they felt strange in their hearts, no one stepped forward to ask. After the gentry dispersed, Xu Jingzong accompanied Li Yanqing and came to the post office.

Gongxian County is divided into two cities, the old and the new, and the pattern is not the same.

The old city is boxy, there is only one city gate, one longitudinal one, one street horizontally, and the Gongxian County is divided into four pieces.

The county government is located in the center, and the four squares are the commercial square, the civilian square, the school field and the gentleman's square. The new city is more than half larger than the old city, with three vertical roads and three horizontal streets, and a total of nine squares. Its scale and prosperity are far greater than the old city, but everyone knows that the real center of Gong County is still located in the old city. There is a county office, a school, and Li Yanqing's mansion.

The post station is located on the side of the county government, only one kilometer away from the Li Mansion.

When Li Yanqing arrived at the post station, the post officer of the post station had already received the news and went out to greet him.

Yanqing signaled that the post officials did not need to be polite, and asked the officials to wait outside the post house. He took Xu Jingzong and Zu Shou and walked into the post house, and under the guidance of the post officer, he came to the door of a small courtyard with reading power. Outside the gate of the small courtyard, there were dozens of black-clothed guards guarding them, and when they saw Li Yanqing's arrival, they suddenly showed nervousness. However, when the post officer stepped forward to report, those Qianniuwei suddenly showed respect.

A Qianniu Wei stepped forward quickly and intervened in the salute, "Humble Wang Mingwei, see King Li Jun." ”

Xu Jingzong and the others couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, and looked at Li Yanqing in surprise, and suddenly felt inexplicably surprised in their hearts.

The title of the king of this county began in the Wei and Jin dynasties. At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the prince and the emperor could be crowned king, but there was no rank. From the time of Emperor Wu of the Western Jin Dynasty, the princes were divided into two types, namely princes and county kings. The prince is the prince and the brother of the emperor; The king of the county was originally the title of the son of the crown prince, and later it was mostly used to divide the feudal envoys and other military ministers. However, in the Sui and Tang dynasties, the prince basically belonged to the clan patent, and he could not obtain the title of prince unless he had a great achievement. For example, Luo Yi was named the king of Yanjun because he gave up Youzhou and gave him the surname Li.

And the difference between the prince and the prince lies in the number of words.

The one-word king is the prince, such as Li Shimin, Li Xuanba, Li Yuanji, and Li Xiaoji; The two-character king is the king of the county, like Li Daoxuan and Li Shentong......

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty customized: only the emperor's uncle, brother and prince can be the prince, and the rest of the clan is the county king.

Zheng Qiao's "Tongzhi - Career Official Strategy" said that the king was ranked above the Great Sima, and if he was not a prince, he was below the three dukes. Among the princes of the Sui and Tang dynasties, the county kings were ranked second, and their official rank was from the first rank.

Could it be that Li Yanqing is the Li Tang clan?

Although Yan Qing proclaimed the world, he attached himself to Li Tang.

However, his background has not been disclosed. There are many reasons for this, but the most important thing is that at that time, Li Yuan had many concerns in his heart.

Now, the overall situation of the Central Plains has been decided, and Li Tang can sit firmly in half of the country.

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Yuan decided to disclose Li Yanqing's identity. It's just that Yanqing can't inherit the throne of Li Xiaoji, because according to the etiquette system, although the emperor's uncle and brother can be the king of one word, they are not hereditary. In other words, Li Xiaoji was crowned King Yong, but Li Yanqing could not inherit the throne and must be rewarded separately. This is also to leave room for rewards for the next generation of kings.

Xu Jingzong and the others were secretly surprised, and looked at Li Yanqing curiously.

But seeing that Yan Qing's face was calm, he didn't seem to be surprised by the title of this Qianniuwei.

I was suddenly pleasantly surprised: if the lord was from the Li Tang clan, wouldn't it be for these people who would have a stronger future in the future?

After all, Li Yanqing announced that he would join Li Tang, and the incident happened suddenly. It seems that Xue Shui, Du Ruhui, and the eldest grandson Wuji, these henchmen and humerus, naturally know the mystery, but although Xu Jingzong returned to Yanqing earlier, he is not the most core staff, so he doesn't know much about Li Yanqing's identity. Yan Qing was attached to Li Tang, and the fluctuations in the hearts of Xu Jingzong and others were undoubtedly the greatest. Yanqing is attached to Li Tang, and he belongs to Erchen. What does the future hold? Unknown. Xu Jingzong, who was branded as Li Yanqing's staff, was naturally even more confused.

However, if Li Yanqing is crowned the king of the county......

Regardless of whether he is a clan or not, at least for a period of time, the status of Xu Jingzong and others is relatively stable.

During this time, he can observe the situation and then seek relative development. Of course, if Yanqing is a clan, then it is naturally the best for them.

"Dou Gongke?"

"Dou Juncheng is studying in the study, and he also said that if the king of the county arrives, he doesn't need to pass through, just go in."

Li Yanqing nodded, motioned for Xu Jing Ancestor Shou to wait outside the courtyard, and then walked into the small courtyard. The officer's courtyard is very secluded. Seeing that this is about to turn from winter to spring, the wisteria flowers on the courtyard wall have begun to bloom with a hint of green color. In the courtyard, a small building, two floors above and below. The downstairs is divided into two bedrooms, a hall, and the upper floor is the study. The window of the study is ajar, and the figure can be faintly seen shaking. On the porch downstairs, there were four charming maids, one by one, with their eyebrows curled slightly, secretly looking at Yanqing.

"Uncle Dou, Li Yanqing asks to see you."

Yan Qing did not go upstairs immediately, but downstairs, and said loudly.

"Shigu, look at it, did the old man say something wrong? Yan Qing is still the Yan Qing of the year, whether it is the goose boy or the king of Henan, he will not change...... Hehe, this bet, you lost! ”

As he spoke, the window was pushed open, and he saw Dou Wei standing behind the window, waving his hand to greet Li Yanqing.

I haven't seen him for ten years, and Dou Wei looks much older. The wrinkles in the eyebrows were becoming more and more obvious, and the hair had turned gray.

When Li Yanqing saw Dou Wei, he couldn't help but smile.

Downstairs, he waved to Dou Wei, and then strode into the small building.

As he walked, he was still wondering in his heart: Shi Gu? Could it be Yan Zhou? He's here too?

After going down the stairs and ascending to the second floor, Li Yanqing saw two people sitting in the study. are all acquaintances, one is Dou Wei, and the other is Yan Shigu.

These two people were the first two celebrities he came into contact with.

No matter how nervous he and Yan Shigu were at the beginning, it is undeniable that without Yan Shigu, there would be no Li Yanqing's later achievements.

As for the gambling contract more than ten years ago?

Yan Qing has long been out of his mind. To be honest, the two of them wrote the Three Kingdoms together, one from an academic point of view, and the other in the form of a novel, which completely belonged to two levels. Who wins and who loses? It's hard to tell. If only in terms of the breadth of acceptance, Li Yanqing wins; But from an academic point of view, it is undoubtedly Yan Shigu who is superior. Therefore, no one can judge the victory or defeat of the two.

"Gong Dou, Mr. Yan."

Li Yanqing gave a deep salute, and Dou Wei accepted it calmly.

Yan Shigu hurriedly got up, "The king of the county came to the door, and the lower officials did not come out to greet him, which is already a great crime of disrespect, how dare you receive such a big gift from the king of the county again?" ”

The king of the county?

To be honest, when Wang Mingwei called Li Yanqing the king of the county outside the door, Yanqing was not unsurprised in his heart.

Because according to the rules, Wang Mingwei can call him the son. As a prince, Li Xiaoji has only one son, how can one family produce two kings?

Regardless of the fact that although the rank of this prince and the prince of the county are different, the quality of this surname is basically the same.

Could it be that because he swept Hebei, he was rewarded in advance? This...... Seems a little out of place!

"Mr. Yan should not be polite, if you hadn't taken care of it secretly, Li Yanqingyan would have been able to have the achievements he has today? Shiji and Hongyi both said that most of the books they lent me at the beginning were secretly given by my husband. Although Yan Qing and Mr. Yan have no name as master and apprentice, they dare not forget the grace of this art.

Sir, please take a seat......"

If you talk about fame, Li Yanqing may not lose to Yan Shigu now, or even slightly higher.

But in this attitude, I am still very apologetic. It made Yan Shigu's heart happy. It is often said that three years old looks old, although Li Yanqing has achieved fame, but he is not as carried away as most of his peers. Only with such virtue can he have the achievements he has today.

Yan Shigu and Li Yanqing were polite, and the guests were seated.

Of course, although this is Gong County, it is Li Yanqing's territory. But in this small inn, Li Yanqing is a guest.

Dou Wei smiled with great satisfaction, and was very happy for Li Yanqing's apologetic attitude.

Back then, he looked at Li Yuan and Li Xiaoji's face and helped Yanqing. It's just that I didn't expect that ten years later, the boy with a hanging bun in the past has now grown strong. This also made him feel a lot of emotion in his heart, if the Zen master had more interaction with this young man back then, maybe it would be a different scene today.

Zen Master, whose full name is Dou Zen Master, is the only grandson of Dou Wei.

Since he was a child, he has lived in Chang'an with his father, and he is quite condescending, which makes Dou Wei very dissatisfied.

There are three generations of children of the Dou family, and there are not many people who are coming out now. In addition to Dou Dan, the son of Dou Kang, it seems that Dou Fengjie, the son of Dou Rail, is the most outstanding. But back then, what was the situation of Dou Fengjie? Dou Wei knew it. Even Dou Rail has become extraordinary because of Li Yanqing. He is dominant in Minshu, controls Chengdu, and has become one of the pillars of the Dou family. And all these changes seem to have started with Dou Fengjie and Yanqing's acquaintance. As soon as he thought of this, Dou Wei regretted it a little, and he still underestimated Li Yanqing at the beginning.

"Yangzhen, for ten years, I never thought that you would achieve such a thing."

Dou Wei said with emotion: "I heard that the situation in Hebei has basically been calmed down, thanks to your merits, the emperor is also very happy when he hears it." ”

Li Yanqing said: "The battle situation in Hebei is not my own work.

Long live today, the command is appropriate, and the soldiers are desperate to serve their lives. If it weren't for the emperor's uncle echoing in Henan, he would contain the soldiers and horses of Qinghe; If it weren't for General Xue's timely attack, he would have shocked Hebei Xiaoxiao; If it weren't for the Yanjun Wang Du Yi Shui pinching attack, which made Dou reverse the abdomen and back to the enemy, Yan Qingyan would have been able to win? ”

Dou Wei laughed when he heard this, "Victory is not arrogant or defeated, this is the style of a general."

Yang Zhen, to be honest, before I came, I was worried that you were too arrogant. Now, I don't need to be reminded that you're better than I thought you were. ”

Yan Shigu also said: "When I heard that Dou Jiande's 180,000 troops entered Yecheng in Chang'an, I was really worried. I thought there would be a fierce battle, but I didn't expect the king of the county to win so easily. Back then, Shiji once told me that the king of the county could conspire with him, but I didn't believe it. Now it seems that the world performance is true. The 180,000 army was wiped out while talking and laughing, and the king of the county had the style of Zhou Lang of the Three Kingdoms. ”

In the eyes of literati such as Yan Shigu, pure military generals are not valued.

Cultivating both civil and military, and having an elegant demeanor, can be regarded as a famous general. Since he made a bet with Yanqing, he has studied the Three Kingdoms, so he has the most respect for Zhou Yu, a famous general of Sun Wu.

Li Yanqing was polite again and again, and in his heart, he was more or less complacent.

After greetings, Yan Qing asked suspiciously: "Duke Dou, dare to ask the emperor to send you to Gong County this time, do you have any orders?"

Also, the title of the king of the county? What's going on? The kid pondered for a long time and couldn't think of going out, so he asked Dou Gong to speak up. ”

Dou Wei and Yan Shigu couldn't help but twitch slightly.

"Yangzhen, you are really good at cultivating.

I thought you had heard the wind, but I didn't expect ...... However, it is amazing that you have been able to endure it until now, no wonder you have achieved what you have today. ”

Dou Wei said and glanced at Yan Shigu.

Yan Shigu nodded with a wry smile, got up and walked aside, took out a yellow satin brocade box from a sealed box, and slowly opened it.

After Li Yuan sat firmly in Guanzhong, he promulgated the statute.

Various ceremonial systems were also adjusted, especially the colors of the royal family.

Li Tang Shangtu, so yellow and red, for the royal family. The yellow robe added to the body in later generations is actually a habit that began to form from Li Tang, especially referring to the royal family.

Yan Shigu took out a pair of scrolls from the brocade box and held them in his hand.

"Li Yanqing, take the order."

"Ah, Minister Li Yanqing, knock on the holy decree."

“…… Today, there are Li children's Yanqing, children are smart, and they are famous in Shilin. Defend Xingyang alone and protect the Central Plains from the invasion of war. He also made military exploits, beheaded Li Mi, rejected Wang Shichong, broke Dou Jiande and swept Hebei...... Today, the Li family is awarded the king of Henan Province, and the three divisions of Shangkai Fuyi are ...... Zhao Li Yanqing immediately went to Chang'an ......"

The king of Henan does not refer to the vast area south of the Yellow River.

Rather, it refers to Luoyang as the center, and the territory of Henan County during the reign of Emperor Yang of Sui. In other words, from now on, Li Yanqing has his own fiefdom, covering the entire thirteen counties of Henan County except Luoyang. In the sequence of county kings, it is probably second only to Fufeng and Feng Yi. However, since Li Tang did not have the title of king of these two places, Li Yanqing could be regarded as the first among the county kings.

Li Yanqing felt very strange in his heart, but he still respectfully received the order.

"Minister, thank you Lord Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

He respectfully received the holy decree from Yan Shigu's hand, but the doubts in his heart were even heavier.

After thanking Dou Wei and Yan Shigu, Li Yanqing asked suspiciously, "Dou Gong, what's going on?" Why did the emperor suddenly crown me the king of Henan?

This doesn't seem to fit in with etiquette. ”

"This ......"

Dou Wei's cheeks twitched twice, his mouth opened, and he suddenly said, "Yan Shilang, let's talk about it." ”

The bitterness on Yan Shigu's face was even stronger, and he cursed secretly in his heart. This has already been said on the road, I will pass on the decree, and you will tell the truth...... Now it is good that I should be the wicked man.

If it were a different person, Yan Shigu and Dou Wei would not care too much.

But the young man in front of him is not only the king of the county, but also famous, both civil and military, and at the same time a ruthless master.

The reason why Li Yuan asked Dou Wei and Yan Shigu to come together was probably also due to this reason.

The sense of foreboding in Li Yanqing's heart became stronger and stronger, and the smile on his face disappeared. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and asked softly tentatively: "Dou Gong, Yan Shilang, is there something that is not easy to speak?" It's okay, you just have to say it. ”

"This ...... Li Wangye...... I would like to ask you to mourn this matter. ”

Yan Shi Ai Ai in the ancient period.

Li Yanqing sighed in his heart, and couldn't help but widen his eyes, looked at Yan Shigu, then looked at Dou Wei, and said in a trembling voice: "Yan Shilang, what do you mean by this?" ”

Dou Wei took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, "Yanqing, your father is the king...... When he was old last year, Liu Wuzhou, Song Jingang's soldiers invaded Shaanzhou, and King Yong was appointed as the head of the march in Shaanzhou...... Song Jingang broke through Jiexiu, and King Yong was ambushed during the rescue...... Last year, it's gone! ”

The death of the emperor is called collapse.

And the prince and the emperor's uncle and brother are all called stingers.

That is, Lee Hyo-gi ...... He's dead!

When Li Yanqing heard this, his head buzzed, he took a step forward, grabbed Yan Shigu's arm, opened his mouth, and before the words came out, he felt that the sky was spinning. His chest couldn't help but feel tight, his eyes widened, and suddenly a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he fell to the ground......
