Chapter 134: Cui Pingguo
Liu's family, Old Man Liu's room, Dragon Emperor City and Liu Pojun sat on the fire kang, Old Man Liu is a hot temper, born with a fire life, instead of living in a hard bed, it is better to let his son build a hard but hot fire kang to live.
Old Man Long looked at Liu Pojun's old face, this was the first time that the old man felt that Liu Pojun, who had not been tired after a long battle, was old...... Liu Pojun looked at the Dragon Emperor City, the corners of his mouth cracked, and he scolded with a smile, "Old Dragon Horseman, you have been looking at Lao Tzu's face, how are there flowers on it?"
Dragon Emperor City burst out laughing, shook his head with a smile, and then asked, "Old Liutou, what did you ask me to come to your house for?"
Liu Pojun heard the question of the Dragon Emperor City, but did not agree, but walked down the kang and picked up a small table made of wood from the ground, threw it on the kang with a "plop", and then walked out of the door under the puzzled eyes of the old man Long, and after a while, Liu Pojun came back, carrying a wine jar in his hand, which was sealed with mud and died, and he couldn't smell the smell of wine at all. Old man Liu took this jar of wine and walked to the side of the kang, sat on it, and patted the mud seal. The mud seal was lifted, but there was still no smell of wine wafting out, and it turned out that there was still a layer of oilcloth wrapped in the mud seal.
Dragon Emperor City raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "Lao Liu, you want to drink with me at noon, the time is wrong, right?"
Liu Pojun tore open the oilcloth with a big grin, and the aroma of wine wafted out, and the intoxicating aroma of wine also made Dragon Emperor City lose his mind for a moment. I only heard Liu Pojun say lightly, "What about having a drink, it should be regarded as respecting the old Cui!"
Dragon Emperor City's body trembled......
There were three wine glasses on the table, all of which were full of fine wine, but there were only two wine glasses sitting in front of the person, who had just drunk a few glasses, and the old man Long came up with wine, and said slightly drunk, "You old boy can really hide it, you must have put this jar of wine in the ground for fifty years!"
"Haha!" Liu Pojun drank all the wine in the wine glass and chuckled, "After defeating Lu Lu's house back then, you and I met for the first time!"
Lu Lu, the first prince of the Fire War Empire, was once also the god of war in the famous mainland, when he led the fire war army to fight Li Tang as the commander, Dragon Emperor City and Liu Pojun were just two small soldiers with a little fame, and later Lu Lu died of illness.
"Yes...... Dragon Emperor City poured himself a glass of wine, and said with some nostalgia, "At that time, I accepted the title of the Emperor Taisheng here in the capital, you kid wouldn't have been buried at that time!"
Liu Pojun's face became more smiling, and he seemed to say to himself, "Back then, during the evening celebration banquet, I brought a lot of wine, all of which were unopened, and a large group of you poured two jars per person, and only the old man was clever, picked two big jars, one jar drank, and the other jar was when I pretended to go to the toilet, I found a big tree, touched some mud, and then buried it in the ground." Later, when I picked a house, the old man chose this house because of this jar of wine, haha, witty!"
"Awesome!" After listening to the story told by Liu Pojun, Old Man Long also clapped his hands, laughed, and took a sip of wine, the old man frowned, and complained, "When you drink, don't you prepare to order peanuts or something?"
Liu Pojun raised his eyelids and looked at Dragon Emperor City, looking like he had already guessed it, and then walked out of the door with a smile on his face, and after a while, Liu Pojun came in with a small plate, and Dragon Emperor City's eyes widened, "Damn, is there really one?"
The peanuts were arranged by Liu Pojun early, and they were kept in the kitchen, just waiting for the Dragon Emperor City to ask for it......
The two of them were drinking wine and eating peanuts while talking about the mountains, and half of the jar of wine was killed in a few moments, both of them were drunk, and the topic of talking and laughing between the two was slowly decreasing, Dragon Emperor City and Liu Pojun were actually not drunk. Dragon Emperor City also knew in his heart what Liu Pojun called himself here for, but he didn't ask, and Liu Pojun didn't say anything, the two of them just pretended to be confused.
After a long time, Liu Pojun looked sideways at the wine glass, which was never less or more, and said thoughtfully, "Old Long, it is said that Lao Cui has been gone for five years!"
A wry smile appeared on Dragon Emperor Cheng's face, and he raised the wine glass to his mouth but didn't drink it, "You didn't count yesterday, it's been six years!
"It's also ......" Liu Pojun also smiled bitterly, drank all the wine in the wine glass, and after a long time, the peanuts on the plate had been eaten by two people, and there was still the last one left, Liu Pojun quickly picked it up and stuffed it into his mouth.
"The fourteenth lang of the Liu family, four deaths and ten hesitations!" Liu Pojun sighed.
Dragon Emperor City said leisurely on the side, "Hesitating, what's hesitating?"
Liu Pojun looked at the Dragon Emperor City and saw that the Dragon Emperor City was looking at him with deep meaning, "What are you hesitating about?"
"What is there to be afraid of?"
"What do you say are you afraid of?" Liu Pojun's eyes were also full of deep meaning, although this was a question about the Dragon Emperor City, but Liu Pojun did not give the Dragon Emperor City time to answer, and said to himself, "The birds are all gone, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooking!" We have to admit that we are bows, we are a good bow of the royal family, whether it is you Dragon Emperor City or me Liu Pojun, or ...... Old Cui ......"
"You're drunk!" Dragon Emperor City stopped drinking Liu Pojun with a slightly affirmative tone, but Liu Pojun slapped the table and slapped most of the full wine glass, "Lao Tzu is not drunk! Dragon Emperor City, you pat your chest and say, isn't there anything wrong with Lao Cui's affairs? Isn't there anything greasy about those two Yuanmeng trips south eight years ago, six years ago?"
Liu Pojun's voice sounded like a bell, penetrating into the ears of the Dragon Emperor City, the expression of the Dragon Emperor City also froze, and the movement of holding the wine glass became slow, Liu Pojun continued, "The three marshals of Li Tang and Tang? Hehe, it has long existed in name only! Marshal of the Dragon Soul Dragon Emperor City, Marshal of the Broken Army Liu Pojun, Marshal of the Ping Kingdom Cui Pingguo, what a big name......
Looking at the self-deprecating look on Liu Pojun's face, the color in Dragon Emperor City's eyes dimmed, although he knew what Liu Pojun was going to say early on, but when he said it and listened to it in his ears, why was it so harsh?
"Ten years ago, Yuanmeng went south for the first time, and the iron cavalry galloped in the Litang frontier, and your eldest son Long Aotian and second son Long Zhentian rushed to the provinces of Beicang to pacify the Yuanmeng army in Beicang, and stayed in Beicang for a year. Nine years ago, Yuan and Mongolia surrendered and signed an alliance with our country to jointly crusade against the Fire War Empire, carve up the provinces within the Fire War, and return to the Dynasty with the Dragon Aotian Dragon Earthquake Division. Eight years ago, Yuanmeng went south for the second time, and your eldest son, second son, and third son, went to Beicang with my third son and three grandsons, and in only one month, they defeated Yuanmeng......"
Speaking of this, Liu Pojun paused for a moment and glanced at the Dragon Emperor City, although the Dragon Emperor City's expression was natural, but the wine glass in his hand was slightly shocked, which told the excitement in the heart of the Dragon Emperor City.
"At that time, I felt that something was wrong, how could Yuan Meng be repulsed so easily? And why did Yuan Meng go south for the second time? Why did he break the situation that was beneficial to both sides and go south?" Liu Pojun had a sneer on his face, "When the news of a complete victory came from the capital, Yuan Meng's side suddenly turned the tide, and Li Tang's army was completely annihilated, and the entire army of 1.8 million was annihilated!"
"Long Aotian, Long Zhentian, Liu Chaozhu, Liu Jianti, Liu Jianshen, Liu Jianmeng fell ......"
Liu Pojun was talking about the events of the year as if no one was around, and Dragon Emperor City also listened quietly.
"What is unbelievable is that when Yuanmeng broke 1.8 million, it strangely returned to Yuanmeng, and no land was occupied, not to mention one or two provinces, even the most ordinary counties and counties were not occupied, as if they were a bunch of ghosts, just to kill 1.8 million...... Or is it just to kill some people......" Liu Pojun paused with a little meaning, "nothing happened for a year, seven years ago, the stars fell, my second son returned to Beijing, less than half a year, Yuanmeng went south for the third time, the first emperor was already dying, issued the last holy call, to my second son to guard the north cang, not to let a Yuanmeng people come in, just this order, my second son has been in Yuanmeng for six years! has been in Yuanmeng, six years has not come back!"
Speaking of this, Liu Pojun's voice became calm, "Five years ago, the first emperor died, and the whole country mourned. Lao Cui's youngest grandson was accused of insulting the name of the first emperor and was arrested, so I don't have to say what happened next!"
Liu Pojun's voice stopped abruptly, and Dragon Emperor City nodded, he also knew what was going on.
Who is Lao Cui?
Cui Pingguo, Marshal Pingguo, one of the three lifelong marshals of Li Tangguo, the same as the Dragon Emperor City and Liu Pojun, joined the army as a teenager during the reign of Emperor Taisheng, and Liu Pojun of the Dragon Emperor City was a person of the same era.
The Cui family is also a big family in the capital, but Cui Pingguo is different from Liu Pojun in the Dragon Emperor City, Cui Pingguo became a civilian after retiring and became a civilian official, and there is no one in the family who continues to become a general and marshal.
Just as Liu Pojun said, after the death of the first emperor five years ago, someone in the capital accused one of Cui Pingguo's grandsons of saying bad things about the first emperor, and that grandson was arrested and put in prison on the same day and tortured. The government is also like a chicken blood, crazy to check the background of Cui Pingguo's grandson.
The government has also become iron-faced and selfless, not talking about personal feelings, no matter who pleads, the officials in the government are still iron-faced and selfless, not only did not release the grandson, but also added many crimes: bullying men and women, not giving money for meals, and being domineering...... even arrested several of Cui Pingguo's sons and nephews and his eldest son, all of whom were corrupt and perverted the law in the name of corruption.
The old man fell ill at once.
The Cui family fell into a stage of panic, and this was the case when Cui Pingguo did not fall ill, let alone after he fell ill? No matter who the Cui family was, they were all holding their tails for fear of being arrested, but even so, the number of people in the Cui family was getting smaller and smaller day by day, and there were more and more people in the yamen prison.
Cui Pingguo was also placed under house arrest, and after a short time, Cui Pingguo died in the prison-like Cui family compound.
