Chapter 6 The princes of the imperial capital of the year
Chapter 605 Chapter 6 The princes of the imperial capital of the year
Donghu.
Winter snow continues.
At noon, looking out from the window, the gray sky, and the occasional foraging birds, were all desolate and desolate.
Su Yuwu was busy with several important military affairs, and felt a little tired, so he ordered his guards to make a strong tea to relieve his fatigue.
Slowly sip tea, close your eyes and listen to the rustling of snow outside the house. A few years ago, when he was the fifth son of the Qingzhou Su family who was pampered under the knees of the elders, he would have felt that there was a cold and lonely artistic conception.
If you are in a good mood, you will also call people to prepare the four treasures of the study, burn cold incense charcoal, open the window, draw a red plum, and inscribe a few sour poems;
A few years earlier, when the colorful feather parrot given by his grandmother was still there, he should have stood in front of the shelf and patiently taught it to talk......
Earlier...... His heart tingled slightly, it was when he was not living alone and was still being raised by his mother.
His mother, Wei Zhengyin, is very concerned about the current weather, it is said that it is because his uncle Wei Zhenghong, who he has never seen, is most afraid of this kind of rain and snow. Wei Zhengyin listened to the worries of his grandmother, Mrs. Song, and over time, he always had to say a few words when he saw similar weather......
But at the moment, these thoughts are only fleeting.
In his heart, Pan Huan has nothing to do with the artistic conception: it has been snowing for several days, and the winter clothes of the soldiers guarding the front are still half missing; It's been almost a year since the last time the Rong people attacked aggressively, and will the Rong people who tasted the sweetness last year come again recently; Baggage is always intermittent...... According to the news sent by his father, it was not only because of his uncle Su Xiuming's deliberate embarrassment, but also because of the current situation, the Su family did not plan to spend too much energy on Donghu, in the end, this is the place of the Liu family......
But regardless of the words of the Liu family, Donghu is really lost, and the Rong people are driven straight down, so can they rely on a Yanzhou to defend Gyeonggi?
The Su family's territory in the Central Plains was occupied in the name of the loyal ministers of the Wei family in the past two years.
The barrier of the imperial capital is also the barrier of the land currently occupied by the Su family in the Central Plains.
Otherwise, why did the Shen family leave the imperial capital last year, and the Su family not only stayed to continue to defend the royal family, but even sent troops north to support the Liu family? The Su family is not an elite soldier, and there are many heavy loads, so they panic!
But Su Yuwu knew that Su Xiuming didn't do this purely because she couldn't get along with Sanfang - the people who were called kings, although they were a little hindered by the distance from the imperial capital, and they couldn't get in touch with the imperial capital for the time being, but the two places in Youzhou and Panzhou were already fighting hard and made it clear that they didn't want the imperial capital to have a good year.
Since these parties dare to openly oppose the imperial court, even if it is just a court that exists in name only, it can be seen that they have saved some belongings.
If we join forces......
It is no wonder that Su Xiuming wants to recall Su Yuwu, mainly because of the army commanded by Su Yuwu.
In fact, Donghu was not the host of Su Yuwu here, he was too young, even Su Xiuwei was not at ease - although his cousin Shen Zangfeng was two years older than him and had already taken over Ming Peitang. But everyone knew that it was because all the elders of the Shen family's sect died.
and Su Yuwu, whose father and uncle are still alive, is not qualified to lead the army alone.
But after the Rong people withdrew at the end of last year, the Liu family insisted that the Qingzhou army stay behind to assist in the guard. For this, the Liu family paid a lot of price - at that time, the Su family was seeking to capture Panzhou and Jinzhou, so although they promised to leave the army, they then transferred several generals and deputy generals back, but sent a mediocre master to the future.
This Su Yuwu's predecessor is a child of the Quyin Min family, but his mother was born in a side branch of the Su family in Qingzhou, and it is half of the Su family. Speaking carefully, Su Yuwu wanted to call him a cousin.
To be honest, this person has no talent, but he is loyal to Su Xiuming, so the Rong people retreated, and Su Xiuming needed several love generals who originally led the army to return to the imperial capital to come in handy, so let him come over and make up the numbers.
And Su Yuwu came with him as his deputy.
said that he was a deputy, this Min Qin person was as his name suggested, after he took office, he grabbed everything, and if he couldn't catch it, he gave it to his staff, and Su Yuwu was completely idle.
This was also expected by him.
But what he didn't expect was that Min Qinzhi was diligent in seizing power, and he was also keen on women-a few months after he arrived, he took a fancy to two beautiful dancers at a banquet hosted by the Liu family, and motioned to the Liu family to give them to him on the spot.
That's not all, this person has not married since his wife died two years ago, and after asking for those two dancing girls, he was actually moved by the Liu family, and followed the acceptance of a side branch daughter of the Donghu Liu family as a continuation.
The Liu family did this in the hope that the Qingzhou army could continue to stay in Donghu to help defend the territory. So Su Yuwu didn't care about it at first.
As a result, the daughter of the Liu family who was selected by the Liu family to give Min Qinzhi was used to being pampered by her parents when she was a child, although she was a sideshower, her heart was three points higher than that of the daughter of the sect.
She is conceited and beautiful and young - otherwise the lustful Min Qinzhi would not agree to this family affair - because of the family, she has been very aggrieved to marry Min Qinzhi, who is almost old enough to be her grandfather, but this old guy accepted a lot of beautiful women before marrying her, and after getting married, he didn't forget these vixens!
The more Liu thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, and within three months of passing the door, he quarreled with Min Qinzhi four or five times about the matter of the concubine, and even twice Min Qinzhi personally went to Yue's house to pick her up - at first, Min Qinzhi still thought that the old husband and young wife coaxed her, and later after many times, he took the responsibility of Su Xiuming's advice not to let Su Yuwu have the responsibility of touching military power, and he was always disturbed by his wife, and he was also annoyed.
So Liu ran back to his parents' house for the third time, and he didn't pick it up in a fit of anger!
In the end, Liu's mother's family saw that it was wrong, scolded their daughter, and the father-in-law personally came to Min Qinzhi to say that it was good to say that it was bad to say, and Min Qinzhi went to pick up someone and let Liu get off the stage. However, he also made an agreement with the Liu family in front of the Yue family for three chapters, that is, the next time the Liu family made a noise for the concubine and ran back to his parents' house, then he only had a letter of resignation.
Anyway, he is also at this age, and his children and grandchildren are all older, so he doesn't need his stepmother to raise and teach. Moreover, since the Yue family is willing to take out the young, beautiful and pampered concubine to make a continuation for a person who is almost an old man, it is obviously a very distant branch, and there is no way to disobey the order of this sect. Such a Yue family, of course, will not be of much help to Min Qinzhi's future.
Min Qinzhi married her purely because of Liu's beauty, and with his status under Su Xiuming, it is not impossible to marry a lady with a similar status elsewhere after retiring Liu - what is he afraid of?
He is not afraid, of course the Yue family is afraid. Liu's parents had to tell their daughter to endure it......
But as I said earlier, this Liu family is very favored, and he listened to her husband's ruthless words less than a year after leaving the cabinet, how can you bear it? She can't bear it, and the unlucky one is naturally Min Qinzhi.
Therefore, a few days after Min Qinzhi took back Liu's, he was put down by a bowl of tea with a worry crane!
…… Of course, externally, Min Qinzhi was killed by a concubine who was recruited from the common people shortly before his death - the concubine was a spy bought by the Rong people, but it is a pity that Min Qinzhi was deceived by her touching cry and accepted it without careful investigation.
Why is this happening, of course, it is impossible to rely on the Liu family to cover up......
Su Yuwu opened his eyes, looked at the heavy snow outside the glass window, and smiled faintly: "Old Wei Yuanhou is far-sighted, Liu Shili has met us in the imperial capital in the past few years, why didn't we get to know him?" ”
The Liu family, who poisoned her husband with her own hands and is now dressed as a filial wife, is not a pawn that Liu Xixun has planted from the beginning. Liu Xixun has been in the imperial capital for many years, and only half of the road paved for him by the old Marquis Weiyuan died, and the rest of the road is extremely difficult for him to walk, and his hand is not so long.
However, after the Liu family was threatened by Min Qinzhi and dared to be jealous, he would divorce her and go back, but Liu Xixun immediately took action and sent the worry crane to her!
Otherwise, Liu's family doesn't know the sex of this daughter. Son, who would dare to give her such a thing as a worrying crane?
is just the grievance of a distant sister, of course Liu Xixun will not bother with this.
But coupled with an alliance that he helped Su Yuwu gain military power, and Su Yuwu helped him suppress the current Weiyuan Marquis Liu Bozhao, Liu Xixun was very interested - like Shen Zangfeng and Su Yuwu, Liu Xixun, who had the advantage that the entire Liu family tacitly knew that he was the next lord chosen by the old Weiyuan Marquis, and his biggest weakness was also young.
Because of his youth and his long years in the imperial capital, he didn't have many allies inside or outside the clan.
Speaking of which, Liu Xixun's personal relationship with Shen Zangfeng is actually better than that with Su Yuwu, but Shen Zangfeng returned to Xiliang, far away from water can not quench his thirst, in the end, he also knew Su Yuwu in the imperial capital in the past few years - the two of them took what they needed, and they were both happy.
So the two sides joined forces, and Min Qinzhi's death was concealed. Because this person has always been lustful, even Su Xiuming didn't doubt it, but only sighed that Min Qinzhi was too careless, and he was actually mixed up by Rong people to the pillow.
"General, General Deng asks to see!" The sound of the guard's announcement temporarily interrupted Su Yuwu's thoughts, he put down the tea bowl, and said with his head bowed: "Please!" ”
After a while, Deng Zongqi, dressed in military uniform, strode in, compared to last year, when he broke through from the imperial capital, Deng Zongqi's whole person looked much darker and thinner, but he looked more sophisticated.
However, due to the sleepless days of sleeplessness, this kind of toughness is clearly exhausted.
Seeing this, Su Yuwu hurriedly ordered his guards to get a ginseng tea, and while letting him sit down and talk, he asked with concern: "Why is Xiangzhi so tired?" Didn't I say that the arrow wound you suffered last time was healed, and now you have to live well, so what is there to do with your guards and deputies? ”
His words were definitely from the bottom of his heart, although the two had no personal relationship before, and when Emperor Huanzong went to the border to make meritorious contributions before, the two of them didn't even go to one place. But Deng Zongqi was cultivated by him as the right and left arm who would seize power with his uncle in the future, so he was naturally afraid that he would make a mistake.
Speaking of Deng Zongqi, Su Yuwu also felt that it was a fluke. He originally thought that since Deng Zongqi had the experience of making contributions in Xiliang, even if he didn't defect to his cousin, he would be like Gu Xinian, Pei Xin and others, collecting old troops and recruiting private soldiers, and forming an army of his own. With the support and support of Taishi Huo Zhaoyu, he sought a career in the troubled times.
I never thought that he would run to Donghu.
In fact, Deng Zongqi originally wanted to defect to the Liu family - everyone speculated that the fall of the imperial capital caused him great stimulation, and it was rumored that Deng Zongqi seemed to have said that he would not destroy the Rong people and would not return to the Deng family - Deng Zongqi had never seen Liu Bozhao, but he had been a colleague with Liu Xixun for a long time, and of course he was looking for Liu Xixun when he arrived in Donghu.
But although Liu Xixun can still protect himself at the moment, he is also forced to be restrained by Liu Bozhao's faction. He knew that Deng Zongqi was quite talented, and the two had been friends for many years, so they came to defect on purpose, and they were unwilling to live up to this trust. Considering that Deng Zongqi would definitely be bound by Liu Bozhao's faction if he followed him, he recommended Su Yuwu - at least Su Yuwu still had his father, and his situation in the Su family was much better than Liu Xixun's.
For Su Yuwu, who colluded with Liu Xixun and easily killed Min Qinzhi, and Su Xiuming was trying his best to clean up Wen Lingzi and couldn't spare his hands to manage Donghu's side, so he grabbed an opportunity to gather military power, although he had the opportunity and name to seize power, it was impossible for him to control more than 100,000 people alone.
Deng Zongqi, a subordinate who has been well educated since childhood, has experience in the army, and has a calm temperament and is easy to get along with, is simply hard to buy!
So looking at Deng Zongqi's tired appearance at this moment, Su Yuwu was even more distressed than being tired like this!
After some chatter, he remembered and said in surprise: "Didn't you say two days ago that you were going to the front to see the uneven winter clothes?" Why did you come back suddenly, isn't there something going on ahead? ”
"What the general said is extremely true, Zong Qi did find something." Deng Zongqi took a sip of the tea handed by the guard, refreshed himself slightly, and said impatiently, "Although it is only a clue, it should be seventy percent credible - it is the staff member who left the third prince of the Narong people in the royal tent and did not follow him to the Wei realm!"
