454, the battle of the Dugu family (I)
Princess Changle and Li Xueyan could only leave Jingwen's house in the end, and Princess Changle was obviously a little reluctant, because she had to return to the closed palace again. Although the palace is not closed, it is for adults. But these underage princesses and princes may not be able to come out casually. The underage princess emperor, it is very difficult to come out, and there is almost no chance. And the only time a princess can leave the palace forever is when she gets married. Now that Princess Changle has returned to the palace, she is obviously a little reluctant to live outside the palace.
"Husband, I'll go home and tell my mother first, and I'll come over after settling down with my mother." Duguxin said.
Hearing Dugu Xin call her husband, Jing Wen knew that Du Gu Xin had also accepted her fate, and had decided to be her own woman with peace of mind and protect Jing Wen's safety. However, this can only come over after settling her mother, which is also human nature! Dugu Xin has been protecting Jingwen all this time, and since they came back from the Turks, they have not been able to settle their mother, and now it is also time to go back and settle down. And Jingwen was also very happy, and with a stroke of the pen, he took out a lot of money and gave Duguxin's mother to buy real estate and some servants, which was regarded as a dowry given by Jingwen.
However, just as Jingwen and Duguxin were about to go to see their mother-in-law, their mother-in-law Zhou actually took the initiative to come.
"Mother?" Duguxin asked.
"Daughter, I heard that you have been here in Jingwen Langzhong recently, so I came!" Zhou said.
"Mother, why are you here? Aren't you at the inn? Duguxin asked.
Zhou shook his head and said, "Your uncle brought someone over and asked Weiniang to hand over the patriarch's token." But this patriarch's token is the foundation of your father's lineage, and it can't be given to him. Therefore, I can only come to you as a mother. You're your father's only daughter, so you must keep the patriarch's token! ”
And after Zhou's explanation, Jingwen understood the reason. That is, Dugu Xin's father, Dugu Yu, was killed by Yu Wenhua during the Jiangdu Incident, and many people in Dugu's family were not able to escape the poisonous hands, so they died a lot. Right now. The person that the Dugu family can find is the Dugu Xin lineage, that is, the only person left in the main line. However, in Duguxin's vein, there is no longer a man, only Duguxin's daughter. However, in ancient times, a daughter had no right to inherit, even if he was a concubine.
At this time, Dugu Xin's uncle, who was her father's cousin, also came to find his mother Zhou. Originally, they were all family. It's good to be able to survive. Because the people of the Dugu family have died a lot after the Jiangdu Incident, not to mention how many people survived, and even if they survived, they were scattered all over the country and struggled to survive. And now I have met a relative, and the relationship is still very close, of course, I am very happy. But the current situation is that the other party asked the Zhou family to hand over the token symbolizing the lineage of the head of the family, that is, the bow and arrow of Dugu Xin, which made the Zhou family unacceptable.
This family token represents a symbol of the family's lineage, how can it be given to others? Now that her husband is dead. Then you have to help your husband maintain the family. Although this family has been shattered, it can be regarded as a family. And if you hand over the family's tokens, then I'm afraid that your own vein will be regarded as a side branch. But if Duguxin's uncle holds the family token, it seems that he is also a little unjustifiable. Because he is a concubine, not a concubine. Therefore, now the main vein is extinct, and the branch vein is not the son-in-law. It doesn't seem like it fits at either end. According to the ancient method of inheritance of the eldest son, I am afraid that the concubine has no inheritance right at all!
"Mother-in-law, who is this uncle of your family? What identity? Jingwen asked.
Anyway, since Duguxin is her own woman. Of course, Jingwen has to defend his own woman. If this Dugu Xin's uncle is a soft persimmon, then Jingwen will pinch him to death directly, what are you afraid of. Anyway, Jingwen's current strength can't just look at the level. Jingwen's influence is many times greater than that of people of the same level, so Jingwen is confident that he will pinch to death some third- and fourth-grade officials who do not have real power.
"Uncle Dugu is far away, it seems to be General Zuo Wuhou." Zhou said.
Jing Wen's face was wrong, because this General Zuo Wuhou was a real power position, which could be said to be equivalent to the third grade. Moreover, Wu Houwei is responsible for the security of Chang'an, although the combat effectiveness of the soldiers is not large, but the matter is important. When the Xuanwumen mutiny, if these Wuhou guards were not neutral, Li Shimin might not have been able to succeed. Moreover, after the completion of Li Shi's militia mutiny, he first let his cronies Wei Chigong and the eldest grandson Wuji control Wuhou Wei, which is enough to show the importance of Wu Hou Wei. Wu Hou Wei can be said to be a force that can really have actual military power, and that power is much greater than the empty position of the other twelve guards. The combat effectiveness of the Wuhou Wei soldiers is relatively weak, but the real power is very heavy, and non-emperor's cronies cannot serve as it. Now since the other party is the general of Zuowu Houwei, it is not a soft persimmon! At least, it's not someone who Jingwen can pinch to death if he wants to.
"Husband, things are not so bad. Dugu Kaiyuan, the general of Wuhou Wei, has the word "school". Cheng Lin said.
"Damn, it turned out to be a school inspector, scared me to death! Let's go, let's go pinch him to death right away! Jingwen said.
Jingwen has been in the Tang Dynasty for a long time, so he naturally knows what the inspector is. Many people's official positions have the word "inspection" in front of them, and the addition of the word "inspection" is worthless. The so-called inspection means that although you are in that official position, you cannot be responsible for the right of that official position, and it is only an honorary position. This only represents the nature of honor, and has no other practical rights. And in a famous "Detective Di Renjie" in later generations, the Li Yuanfang in it is not the general of Qianniuwei, although it seems to be a very high level, but he can't really interfere in the affairs of Qianniuwei, just an honorary position. In the final analysis, he is just Di Renjie's senior thug. Therefore, don't look at the high level of the school inspector, but in fact, there is no use for fart, Jingwen is not afraid of him at all. Therefore, hearing that this Dugu Kaiyuan was a school inspector, Jingwen could have the confidence to pinch him to death. This kind of person, it is easy to pinch him to death, don't be afraid. The inspector is either an honorary official position, or the emperor is unhappy with you, and he is secretly demoted to you.
And Jingwen has never heard of this Dugu Kaiyuan in several key official positions. At least the Twelve Wei Generals, the Jiedu envoys of the New Army, and the three provinces and six departments do not have this Dugu Kaiyuan name, so Jing Wen naturally does not worry about what real power he will threaten him.
