Chapter 670: The Vassal King of Taiyuan
Wu Youren said that he wanted to stammer with Du Da Chin as a brother, Du Da chin sighed, stunned on the spot, his expression made Wu Youren very satisfied.
Wu Youren thought to himself: "Look, these low-born people are like this, as long as the superior gives them a little benefit, they will be incomparably moved, like his background, if he can become a sworn brother with me, it is really his ancestral tomb is smoking, you must know that the last brother who swore with me, but Yang Ze, the king of Yan!" β
Du Da's chin was thought: "This old bastard actually wants to pit me, wants to worship me or something, isn't this trying to kill me, I don't want to die on the same day, the same month, and the same year, that's too much of a loss!" β
Their thoughts are completely different, Wu Youren thinks that stammering with Du Da Chin is a waist bending to make friends, but Du Da Chin thinks that he has suffered a big loss.
Seeing that Du Da's jaw was stunned for a little too long, Wu Youren had no choice but to say: "Du Guard, you think, you and I are both doing things by His Royal Highness the Prince's side, you protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince inside, and I will give advice to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince outside, you and I will become brothers, and complement each other internally and externally, you can get twice the result with half the effort, this is a great thing!" β
Wu Youren didn't have much friendship with Du Da Chin, and they really didn't have any friendship at all, so what he said was biased towards interests, and he thought that Du Da Chin was thinking about getting promoted and making a fortune at this time, so it was better to talk about friendship than interests.
Du Da chin thought to himself: "Lao Tzu works for the prince in order to get rid of him, so we will become enemies in the future." Well, that's okay, anyway, it's not the first time that Lao Tzu has deceived people, just worship it, anyway, in the future, Lao Tzu will cut off your head, and there will be no mercy. β
Thinking of this, Du Da chin said shyly: "The villain really never imagined that he could become a brother with Lord Wu, the villain is really high!" β
Wu Youren laughed. Said: "Brother Du must have a long future in the future, talk about Gao Pan, come, let's worship here as brothers!" β
said it nicely, but Wu Youren thought in his heart: "Oh, Du Dachin, your ugly face is really ugly than a ghost, and you are still shy, but it really makes me sick!" β
He looked down on Du Da chin, but now he was demoted because of his demotion to the official. Not only does he have to leave the center of the court in Chang'an, but he is afraid that when he arrives in Taiyuan in the future, he will be far away from the prince, so he urgently needs an internal response, and the prince Li Chongjiu does not have any henchmen now, so he wants to win over helpers, and he can't find an internal response, and he can only be Du Da chin, and this kind of thing is the best way to win over. An eldest son doesn't have to come out, as long as he says a few oaths casually, then this person can be regarded as a hand, and it will be beneficial and not costly. Why not!
The two of them don't think that the house is shabby, it doesn't matter if there is no incense and candles, it doesn't matter if you can't cut the head of a chicken and burn yellow paper, anyway, everyone is righteous. Don't reshape shì, anyway, kneel together, and say two painless vows!
Two people knelt side by side on the ground. And to Tianjing, after each said a few oaths, they kowtowed three times, Wu Youren became Brother Wu, and Du Da Chin became Brother Du, the two of them hugged each other and saluted, both excited to have a brother with a different surname, too excited, the two of them shook hands, and they almost burst into tears.
At this time, the door of the house creaked open, and two black charcoal heads stretched in, as if they wanted to say something, and the situation in the house was visible, and the two black charcoal heads quickly retracted back to the door, and the door was closed.
Outside the door, two black charcoal heads, you look at me, I look at you, one black charcoal head said: "I'm not mistaken, I see them kneeling on the ground, holding their hands together, very ambiguous, what are they going to do, why don't they go to bed?" β
There is a strict ambiguity in his words, and he has a tendency to be dirty, but he is a ruffian, and it is not unusual to have such a dirty tendency, on the contrary, if he has any lofty ideas, it is doubtful, and he will be suspected of being possessed by a ghost!
Another black charcoal head said, "You read the wrong ......"
"Oh, maybe, I just glanced at it, and most likely I was wrong." The previous black charcoal head nodded hurriedly.
Another black charcoal head continued: "I obviously saw that the two of them were hugging each other, but I didn't see it if they kissed or not!" β
The yard is not very big, as soon as they spoke, many black charcoal heads heard it, they talked a lot, gathered around together, and talked nonsense, all talking about Wu Youren and Du Da chin, whether they were disheveled, whether they kissed, whether they were hugging each other and rolling around on the ground or something!
These people are all bastards, even if they are heroes, they call themselves, and their faces are smeared with ashes from the bottom of the pot, and when they are idle and uncomfortable, they say some strange things, of course, it is not unusual, fortunately, their voices are very small when they speak, and they don't let Wu Youren and Du Da chin inside hear it, otherwise the two of them would have to go crazy.
In the house, the two people helped each other to get up, Wu Youren said: "Brother Du, you have to be wronged here for another day, it is not good for my brother to enter the palace again today, so I can only go to the East Palace tomorrow, explain the matter to His Royal Highness the Prince, and I will pick you up tomorrow, and the two of us will enter the palace together." β
Du Da chin nodded again and again, he was a little anxious, it would be good if he could enter the palace today, but Wu Youren had just been demoted, although he didn't tell him the specific situation, of course he would definitely be able to inquire about it, so he didn't ask, but depending on the situation, Wu Youren really couldn't take him into the palace today.
The two said a few more words, Wu Youren said goodbye and went out, out of the house, he saw the black charcoal head all over the yard, and said: "Why don't you wash the ashes on the bottom of the pot on your face, do you want to keep it for the New Year?" A group of ......"
Wu Youren looks down on people from low backgrounds, if he doesn't have the need, he won't have a good color on Du Da's chin at all, let alone bow down. Seeing the group of black charcoal heads in the yard, he originally said, a group of horsemen, he is in a bad mood, and he urgently needs a place to vent, of course, scolding is a good way to vent.
But suddenly he thought that these people were going to be guards for His Royal Highness the Prince, and maybe they could get the trust of the crown prince Li Chongjiu in the future, so they must not be offended, anyway, he bowed to Du Da chin, so it was not difficult to say a few nice words to these identical black charcoal heads.
"A group of very cautious righteous people, wait for a few days to get better. The official is going to set up wine, and I will reward all the brothers for His Royal Highness the Prince! Wu Youren changed his words in time, and arched at the heroes with his fists, very polite and virtuous corporal.
The heroes hurriedly returned the salute and sent Wu Youren out of the courtyard. After closing the courtyard door, the heroes talked a lot, and they all asked Du Da chin, does Wu Youren like black men, just like the prince likes bearded men?
About Li Chongjiu's liking for bearded men has long been spread among the heroes. Now they are beginning to suspect Wu Youren's special hobby again.
Du Da chin waved his hand and said: "Don't talk nonsense, what are you doing with this useless, bring me a basin of water, I will wash my face, I want to see Lord Taiwei, and ask us what to do next!" β
Hearing that Du Da was going to see Lord Taiwei, the heroes quieted down and called him face wash, and Du Da got off the horse and washed his face and went out. The heroes also began to wash their faces, and all the pots of black water were poured at the gate, and the black water flowed to the door of the neighbor's house, but the neighbor didn't even dare to ask. There is a large group of fierce and vicious men, and they are still dark, and they can't hide, who dares to ask.
After the retreat from the dynasty. Yang Ze returned to the military headquarters, turned around, and immediately took his entourage out of the city. Returned to the barracks, the emperor asked him to go on the expedition, before leaving, of course, he had to capture all the military power in the Gyeonggi area, to put it bluntly, he cleaned up all the magistrates who disobeyed him, this is not practical for the army, only Wang Peilun handed over the list, and then the Bohai warriors and Zhenxi soldiers came to the door, and cleaned up those magistrates according to the list, even if the matter is settled, as for the vacant official positions, naturally someone will go up, and now Shen Deyin has attracted a lot of officials, all of whom are standing in Yang Ze's team.
Yang Ze returned to the barracks, Tan Zhengwen told him that he had made the "fiefdom" field for Liang Dazhong, and Yang Ze didn't ask much, and handed it over to Tan Zhengwen to do, and he immediately recruited the generals in the army and asked them about the customs and customs in Taiyuan.
The emperor ordered Yang Ze to go to Tujue, the news has reached the barracks, and before Yang Ze has returned, the generals all know that the generals who lead the troops are not those generals who have entered the Tiance army, but they are not so easy to fool.
As soon as the generals heard that Yang Ze didn't ask about the situation of Tujue, but asked about the situation in Taiyuan, they knew that Yang Ze was going to stumble on the crown prince, otherwise why do you care about the customs and customs of Taiyuan, to put it bluntly, don't you care about the Li royal family there.
Yang Ze already had a general understanding of the royal family members in Taiyuan, but he still wanted to hear the opinions of the generals, and maybe he could hear some inside stories that he couldn't inquire!
The generals did not disappoint him, and told him about the power of the Li royal family in Taiyuan, such as the title and fief, as well as the character of the people in the royal family, Yang Ze did not need to ask about the title and fief, but the character of the people in the royal family, he wanted to know.
There are two princes in Taiyuan, and they are both iron hat kings, the kind of princes who don't need to be demoted. There are several titles in the Dafang Empire, the first is a title that does not need to be demoted, for example, if the first generation is the prince, then the heir of the second generation is still the prince, and the third generation is the same.
The second is downgraded, for example, the first generation is the prince, the second generation is the prince, and the heir of the third generation is the marquis.
The third is to only seal one generation, for example, there is a minister who is very powerful, so the emperor named him the prince of Qinguo, but this prince can only be owned by the minister's generation, and if the minister dies, it cannot be passed on to the next generation.
All ministers or people in the royal family, of course, want the first kind of title, but this kind of title is the least, but Taiyuan is just the opposite, almost all the people with titles are from the Li royal family, and all the titles are all wearing iron hats, that is to say, the Li family here does not need to be demoted, but in Taiyuan, there are two princes, two princes, and three marquises, as for the earl, viscount, baron or something, there are a lot of them.
Of course, the most important thing is the two princes, one is the title of the prince, named King Cheng, and the other is the title of the prince of the county, named King Jingde, the title of King Cheng was left by the younger brother of Emperor Taizong of this dynasty, and the title of King Jingde was left by Emperor Taizong's uncle.
When Emperor Taizong was alive, the brothers were not harmonious, and finally turned against each other, Taizong clicked all the brothers, but only the younger brother died early, and when he died, the relationship between the brothers was still very good, so Taizong sealed the descendants of the younger brother to Taiyuan and gave a sincere word as the title name.
As for the first generation of King Jingdejun, he was a hero who helped Emperor Taizong fight the country, and he was a great meritorious man, so he was also crowned king, and he also enjoyed happiness in the prosperous place of Taiyuan.
The current King Cheng and King Jingde are both old men, the personalities of the two are almost identical, they both belong to the kind of character that must not have anything to do, they will faint if there is something, if you want to say that Cheng DΓΉ is a nest, it can be said that it is wonderful, if Li Yan is compared with them, then Li Yan is simply a bold character.
It's because of their temperament that they are both slapped on the left cheek, but they still have to put the right side of their face over and then let people beat them, if others haven't enjoyed it, then they will send their butts up and let others kick them, and after the kick, maybe they will praise it, so comfortable!
Such a columsy and cheap person, even the Dugu Empress was not embarrassed to clean them up, and when she saw that they were obedient, she didn't pay attention to them anymore, so these two princes not only lived well, but even died later than the Dugu Empress.
As for the other princes and marquises, there are also a group of little lords, all of whom are almost of this temperament, anyway, there is no one who dares to stand out, in the eyes of Empress Dugu, they are all a group of wretched guys who are not worth paying attention to.
After the generals told what they knew, Yang Ze frowned, which was similar to what he guessed, but the crux of the matter was that when Empress Dugu was alive, this group of people was quite a nest, but now that Empress Dugu is dead, will they go down again?
Yang Ze said: "The two princes must have sons, right?" Is there any like one of their sons? β
The generals shook their heads together, the sons of these two princes were the same as them, and they were also very wasteful, and one of the generals said: "The descendants of these two princes are even more useless than them, and they seem to regard uselessness as a family motto, not only are they useless to their descendants, but they even beat their sons to death with a little backbone, and the two princes once killed a son each." β
Yang Ze's eyes lit up instantly, and he said, "Is it because of this that the first emperor thinks that they are loyal?" They were very ...... to the first emperor is very loyal, but he is ruthless enough to his family. β
The generals hesitated, but they didn't know what the specific reason was, and when Empress Dugu was in power, it was taboo to talk about the Li royal family, and everyone was not interested in it.
Yang Ze asked again: "Then how can it be proved that those two princes who have a little backbone were really killed?" (To be continued......)
