Chapter 43 Du Fuwei, King of Wu
After retreating from the court, Li Yuan returned to Taiji Palace angrily, and said angrily: "I can't bear the heavy responsibility, I can't bear the heavy responsibility." I personally cooperated secretly, but the matter still made him mess up. It's just that it can't be compared to the people of the world, but this time it was planted in Qing'er's hands, so that Qing'er took his sore spot, and he could only obediently comply. Could it be that my crown prince is so unbearable, is he really inappropriate as Li Xuan said? Am I really wrong? ”
Wang De, the chief eunuch, saw that Li Yuan was in a bad mood, so he took out a notebook, walked to Li Yuan's approach, and said: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, I have just received the notebook, my Tang Dynasty Wu King Du Fuwei has entered Beijing." ”
Hearing the words of Du Fuwei, the king of Wu of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan's mood gradually improved. The three leaders of the world's righteous army, Li Mi, the Duke of Wei in Wagangshan, Dou Jiande, the King of Xia in Hebei, and Du Fuwei, the King of Jianghuai Chu, are now captured or surrendered, and they are all under the Tang Dynasty, and the unification of the world is just around the corner.
Thinking of Du Fuwei, Li Yuan felt that this person was interesting. Li Mi, the Duke of Wei in Wagang Mountain, fought with Wang Shichong of Luoyang, suffered a fiasco, and his generals either surrendered or rebelled, and he was alone, and he had to take refuge in the Tang Dynasty when he was desperate; And Dou Jiande, the king of Hebei Xia, also led his 400,000 elites to fight a decisive battle with the Tang Dynasty in front of the Tiger Prison Pass, but the army was defeated like a mountain, and he was captured in a fiasco. And Jianghuai Chu King Du Fuwei owned the rich land of Jianghuai 36 counties, hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, but never fought a battle with the Tang Dynasty, and from the second year of Wude, the Tang Dynasty crusaded against the separatist forces that occupied the Jiangdu - Li Zitong, Du Fuwei not only sent troops and food, but also personally led the troops to capture Li Zitong and sacrifice to the Tang Dynasty. In the second year of Wude, when the Tang Dynasty was founded less than two years ago, Liu Wuzhou attacked Jinyang, the land of Longxing, in the north, and Dou Jiande of Hebei Province and Wang Shichong of Luoyang in the east pressed step by step, repeatedly attacking the land of the south of the Tang River, resulting in the entire Tang Dynasty, the city outside the Hangu Pass was lost, and the entire Shanxi nest Jinyang land, the city was even lost, only one place in the Guanzhong, but to face two heavy enemies, it can really be described as embattled, life and death are unknown, but at this time, one of the three major rebel leaders in the world, Du Fuwei, who had hundreds of thousands of soldiers, took refuge in the weak Li Tang, which can be described as unique and unexpected. And now, the 200,000 troops of the Tang Dynasty are just putting on a posture of crossing the river, and Du Fuwei, who has hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers in Jianghuai, his advisers like rain, and fierce generals like clouds, actually surrendered without a fight, and in the face of the extremely harsh conditions of the Tang Dynasty to recruit him into Beijing, he agreed without resistance. Li Yuan was very curious, what kind of character is this? Li Yuan decided to meet the new King Wu of the Tang Dynasty.
Du Fuwei was led into the Taiji Palace by Wang De.
Du Fuwei was about forty-seven or eight years old, with a simple appearance and fine eyes. Wearing the Datang big red Yipin King suit, his body is filled with a domineering spirit that has been formed for a long time. Although he was the only one standing in the main hall, he seemed to be followed by hundreds of civil and military officials and golden armor guards, and everyone was like stars and moons to set off him. He seems to be a natural overlord, and he is extremely dazzling and eye-catching wherever he goes.
Li Yuan looked at Du Fuwei and sighed: "What a hero." Du Fuwei lives up to his name. ”
And Du Fuwei also looked at Li Yuan, Li Yuan was the same age as himself, but his appearance was a little older, wearing a golden dragon robe, gray hair, and a generous face, but sitting on the dragon chair, he was not angry and arrogant, very natural, which made people look at it and was very comfortable, as if he was the most favored king of God in this world. The dragon chair, except for him, no one else is suitable and good-looking for him to sit on.
After Du Fuwei stood still in the main hall, he bowed to Li Yuan and said, "Du Fuwei greets Your Majesty." ”
Li Yuan smiled slightly and said: "I have heard the name of Brother Wu for a long time, and when I saw it today, it really deserves its reputation." ”
Du Fuwei said respectfully: "Your Majesty has praised it. A little bit of false fame, all of them are raised by friends in the rivers and lakes, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning. ”
Li Yuan asked: "Brother Wu Wang, who is in Jianghuai and has hundreds of thousands of troops, how can he decide to submit to my Tang Dynasty?" This is my long-standing doubt, and I hope that Brother Wu Wang can solve my doubts. ”
Du Fuwei replied: "Since the Tang Dynasty occupied Guanzhong, it has laid the foundation for the unification of the world. The "ghost talent" Li Xiaoji is unparalleled in resourcefulness, His Royal Highness the King of Qin is good at military affairs, and he has the full support of the Guanlong aristocratic group. With all due respect, if the Guanlong aristocratic group rules the world, it may not be as good as the Shandong Hao clan and the Southern clan, but if the times are troubled, the Shandong Hao clan and the Southern clan will not be the opponent of the Guanlong aristocratic group. The Guanlong aristocratic group dares to fight to the death, endures hard fighting, everyone is proud of joining the army, ranks the seats according to the size of the military merit, has the highest military literacy, and military merit is the most closely related to the interests of the family. Your Majesty's help from the military nobles of Guanlong can be described as a wonderful move, and it is also a guarantee of strength that can unify the world. In the second year of Wude, although the situation in the Tang Dynasty was critical, the minister felt that the foundation of the Tang Dynasty was solid, and the more critical the situation, the easier it was for the potential of the Guanlong aristocratic group to be stimulated. As expected, it took only three years, under the command of His Royal Highness the King of Qin, the Tang Dynasty successively defeated Liu Wuzhou, the Khan of Dingyang, Wang Shichong, the King of Zheng, and Dou Jiande, the King of Xia, and dominated the world. And the minister started from the end of the day, and only hoped to return to his hometown with glory and wealth in his life, but he was helplessly forced by current affairs, so that he did. Therefore, where the Tang army goes, the ministers can only protect themselves and return to obedience. I hope that Your Majesty can remember the old age, protect me for the rest of my life, and enjoy wealth and prosperity. ”
When Li Yuan heard what Du Fuwei said, he smiled and said, "Brother Wu Wang, please rest assured, I will definitely meet some requests." ”
Du Fuwei was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
Soon, Du Fuwei left the Taiji Palace. At the gate of the palace, Du Fuwei said with emotion: "Your Majesty is a generous and generous person, and I will have no worries for the rest of my life." ”
In the Taiji Palace, Li Yuan watched Du Fuwei leave, and sighed: "Du Fuwei has the strength and talent of an emperor, but he has no ambition of an emperor. It's a pity. ”
The Nighthawk Commander suddenly walked out from behind the pillar and asked Li Yuan, "Your Majesty, what about the surveillance of King Wu?" ”
Li Yuan groaned and said, "Loose on the outside and tight on the inside. In the case that he can't be perceived, the monitoring intensity should be the same as that of Wei Gong Li Mi and Zheng Wang Shichong. After all, he is a generation of heroes, and what he says, you can listen to it, but you must not believe it all. I want to keep track of his every move. ”
"My subordinates understand." As he spoke, the Nighthawk saluted and vanished in an instant, as if it had never appeared.
