Chapter 202: Brother Yang Guang
Seeing the county lord of Xiangyang walk out of the backyard gate, Li Shimin explained to Qin Lan, "You go and tell Lu Zheng and let him arrange the calf cart, and Sanniang and I are going to Tonghua Li Xiao Mansion."
Qin Lan promised to go to find Lu Zheng, Li Shimin pulled Guanyin back to the room, and he took advantage of this gap to talk to Guanyin about Xiao Yu first.
------
Guanyin asked Li Shimin, "Why do you want us to persuade Uncle Xiao Yu?"
Li Shimin smiled, "Isn't this Yang Guang killed? He had to go to Jiangdu to find his sister Empress Xiao, and he didn't even do what Grandpa arranged for him."
Guanyin said disapprerovingly, "If he goes, let him go, is it possible that without him, there will be no one to do things for Grandpa?"
Li Shimin disagreed, "You said it lightly, Uncle Xiao Yu is not an ordinary person, and he can't be replaced by just someone."
------
Guanyin asked curiously, "What's so special about him?"
Li Shimin laughed and said, "Very special, really different from ordinary people, he is very talented and has a lot of problems. A man with whom no one wants to associate with him."
"Let's talk about his talent first, Uncle Xiao Yu is a genius and full of wealth. It depends on military generals to fight the world, and literati to govern the world, and Uncle Xiao Yu is an indispensable person to govern the world."
------
Guanyin listened to Li Shimin's introduction, and became more and more curious, "With such a capable person, why is no one willing to associate with him?" What's wrong with him?"
Li Shimin said, "His problem is that he likes to find faults, and his eyes can't rub into the sand. When he sees something wrong with others, he has to point it out."
Guanyin pondered for a moment and said, "Such people are really annoying, everyone is obedient, who wants others to find fault with themselves all day long?"
------
Li Shimin smiled, "Grandpa likes such people."
Guanyin pursed her lips and smiled, "This shows that Grandpa is not an ordinary person, how can ordinary people endure a person who picks faults."
Li Shimin smiled and nodded, "That's really the case, it shows that Grandpa has a big belly."
"When I was in Chang'an before, because Uncle Xiao Yu was paranoid, no one had anything to do with him, but Grandpa treated him as a treasure, regarded him as a confidant, and respected him very much."
"This time, as soon as Chang'an was defeated, Grandpa asked me to bring his handwritten letter to Hechi to invite him back, and when he arrived in Chang'an, he was named the Duke of Song Guogong, and he was the secretary of the Ministry of Worship, and all important government affairs were handed over to him to take care of."
Hearing Li Shimin say this, Guanyin became more and more interested in Xiao Yu and wanted to know what kind of person he was.
------
Xiao Yu, the word Shiwen, the seventh son of Emperor Xiao Yue of the Ming Emperor of Western Liang, and the younger brother of Yang Guang's wife Empress Xiao.
In the seventh year of the emperor's reign, after the Sui destroyed the Western Liang, Xiao Yu entered the Sui with his brother Xiao Cong, and then settled in Chang'an. Xiao Yu was 12 years old that year, Yang Guang was six years older than him, he watched Xiao Yu grow up, and he had a deep relationship with Xiao Yu and had a good relationship.
After Xiao Yu grew up, he was full of learning, and Yang Guang appointed him as the squire of the internal history. Queen Dugu also loves Xiao Yu very much, and married her maiden niece Dugu to Xiao Yu as his wife.
Therefore, Xiao Yu's wife is Li Yuan's cousin.
Therefore, Li Shimin called Xiao Yu his uncle.
------
The relationship between this seems to be a bit messy, so let's sort it out again.
Li Yuan's eldest aunt was the Empress of the Great Zhou, and the seventh aunt was the Empress of the Great Sui.
Xiao Yu's wife is the niece of Empress Da Zhou, Empress Da Sui and Li Yuan's mother.
Xiao Yu is the son of Emperor Xiliang, the younger brother of Yang Guang's wife, Empress Xiao, and his wife is the niece of Li Yuan's mother.
------
Although this Xiao Yu is talented, he has an upright and strong temperament, and he is very dissatisfied with Yang Guang's arrogance and unreasonableness, and has repeatedly advised Yang Guang. He also looked at the traitorous ministers around Yang Guang unpleasantly, and often argued with them in front of Yang Guang.
Yang Guang was greatly annoyed with Xiao Yu, and after the siege of Yanmen was lifted, he demoted him to the county guard of Hechi.
Others respect Xiao Yu and stay away, but Li Yuan respects him very much, the relationship between the two is very good, and they are very close, no matter what Xiao Yu says unpleasantly, Li Yuan can accept it with an open mind.
------
Xiao Yu's mansion is in Kaihua, in the east of Tongyili, where the Tang Wangfu is located, there is a square away, and Tonghua Li is in the middle.
There are two mansions in the southeast of Kaihuali, one in the west is Yang Guang's hidden residence, which is where Yang Guang lived when he was the king of Jin, and the east is Xiao Yu's mansion.
Guanyin came to the Xiao Mansion with Li Shimin with great curiosity, she wanted to see what kind of person Xiao Yu was in person.
------
Xiao Yu and Mrs. Dugu saw Li Shimin and Guanyin coming to visit, and directly let the two of them go to the upper room.
The four of them sat on the Luohan bed, Xiao Yu and Mrs. Dugu sat side by side in the east, and Li Shimin and Guanyin sat in the west across several cases.
The slaves and maidservants put on the table seasonal fresh fruits, yellow apricots and cherries, and poured a glass of buttermilk for each of them.
Mrs. Dugu is straightforward and cheerful, she smiled and talked to Li Shimin and Guanyin, pulling a homely routine.
Xiao Yu sat upright, posing as an elder.
------
Mrs. Dugu held the food box and asked Li Shimin and Guanyin to eat cherries, she looked at Guanyin with a slight smile and boasted, "Erlang Lady is so good-looking, the last time I saw you, it was when you got married, I went to drink wedding wine and looked at it from a distance."
As she spoke, she let the food box in front of Guanyin, Guanyin stretched out her slender hand and pinched two, Mrs. Dugu looked at Guanyin, pursed her lips and smiled, "At that time, you were young, and you didn't look like it had grown yet, but now you are getting more and more watery."
------
Guanyin was a little embarrassed by Mrs. Dugu's praise, and the cherries she took out were not eaten immediately, and she pinched the slender fruit stalk in her right hand and put it in the palm of her left palm, and said, "I should have come to visit my aunt and uncle a long time ago, we went to Hedong a few days after we got married, and then returned to Chang'an once, and I was keeping filial piety for my mother, and I haven't seen my aunt and uncle, I hope you can forgive me."
Mrs. Dugu said with a smile, "It is said that Erlang Niang is a talented woman, and it is true that when I saw it today, a talented woman can speak."
Guanyin said modestly, "Where can my niece be called a talented girl, she just recognizes a few more words, and compared with my uncle's talent, it is simply not worth mentioning."
-----
Mrs. Dugu glanced sideways at Xiao Yu, who was still sitting upright, and said, "Your uncle has read a lot of books, I think he is too stubborn, and he doesn't offend people by talking, except for me who treats him as a god and Buddha every day, no one wants to associate with him."
Li Shimin answered, "I think my aunt is not right, my father respects my uncle very much, and now I can't leave him for a moment."
------
At this time, Xiao Yu finally spoke, and he said to Mrs. Dugu, "Loyalty is against the ear, the truth is ugly, if my brother-in-law had listened to me earlier, he would not have come to this day." He demoted me from Chang'an, but now those who speak sweet words in front of him all day long have killed him."
After saying that, he straightened his face again, as if he was thinking about something.
Li Shimin said, "To govern the country, what is most lacking is people like my uncle, so as soon as I arrived in Chang'an, my father asked me to invite my uncle."
------
Mrs. Dugu saw that a few people only cared about talking, and Guanyin still held the two cherries in her hands, knowing that she was afraid of being rude in front of the elders, so she also picked up a cherry and put it in her mouth, and let Guanyin and Li Shimin eat while eating.
Only then did Guanyin gently open her cherry lips, put a bright red cherry in her mouth, and chewed it slowly.
Mrs. Dugu took two more cherries and handed them to Xiao Yu, saying, "You can also eat a few, don't sit with an old face, and let the children look restrained."
Xiao Yu took the cherry, and there was a slight smile on her face.
------
After eating the cherry, Mrs. Dugu stuffed a yellow apricot into Guanyin's hand, and then picked up one and stuffed it to Xiao Yu, instructing, "Erlang and Awen are not outsiders, don't keep holding a shelf."
Guanyin watched Mrs. Dugu count Xiao Yu, like a child in her own family, no matter what Mrs. Dugu said, Xiao Yu was not the slightest bit sad, but a pair of loving old husbands and wives.
------
After Mrs. Dugu's busy work, the atmosphere in which several people spoke was much more relaxed.
She turned her face to look at Xiao Yu, who was eating yellow apricots, and turned her face to Guanyin and said, "Your uncle is like this, he always holds a shelf in front of people, but when he saw Erlang sending your father's letter that day, he was as happy as a child, and he couldn't wait to rush from Hechi to Chang'an immediately."
"Looking at his excited appearance, outsiders really can't guess that he is going to follow your father to make a rebellion against his brother-in-law."
------
Xiao Yu put the nucleus in his hand on a few cases, and defended himself, "Where can my brother-in-law compare with Shude? A prosperous and prosperous Great Sui was lost in his hands. For example, today, there are many people who call the emperor and the king, and if it is not for the Shude Dingding Pass, our relatives will be destroyed in the hands of our brothers-in-law."
Li Yuan, the word Shude, because he and Xiao Yu have been friends for many years, Xiao Yu is commensurate with Li Yuan, and Li Yuan calls Xiao Yu Xiao Lang.
Mrs. Dugu muttered, "Since you know everything, you still put down your business and don't do anything, you have to go to Jiangdu to find your sister."
Xiao Yu said gloomily, "Now that my brother-in-law has been killed, how can I rest assured that my sister-in-law?"
Mrs. Dugu continued to nag, "Things have come to this point, and it won't help you to go."
------
Li Shimin was afraid that Mrs. Dugu and Xiao Yu would have a dispute over going to see Empress Xiao, so he comforted Xiao Yu and said, "I think that if my uncle goes to Jiangdu, it will be unfavorable to the queen."
Xiao Yu looked at Li Shimin with concern and asked, "Why is it unfavorable?"
------
Li Shimin analyzed for Xiao Yu, "Now that the army is in chaos, let's not talk about whether my uncle can reach Jiangdu for the time being. Even if you can go to Jiangdu, can you bring the queen back?"
"Yu Wenhua and in the name of Empress Xiao, Yang Hao was appointed emperor to show the legitimacy of the emperor he appointed. He wants to take advantage of Empress Xiao, so Empress Xiao's situation is not dangerous now."
"If my uncle has to take Empress Xiao away, how can Yu Wenhua let Empress Xiao be controlled by others? At that time, not only will Empress Xiao be put in danger, but her uncle may also be gone and never returned."
------
Xiao Yu listened to Li Shimin's analysis and was silent, he was concerned about Empress Xiao's affairs, and the authorities were confused, but now he suddenly realized after listening to Li Shimin's persuasion.
Xiao Yu sighed angrily, "My sister loves me very much, but now I can't do anything about her trouble."
He turned to Li Shimin and said, "Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh. In just a few decades, I have experienced the overthrow of the dynasty again."
Li Shimin listened to Xiao Yu's words, as if he was lamenting the difficulty of governing the country, and seemed to be reminding Li Shimin.
------
At noon, Xiao Yu and Mrs. Dugu set up a family banquet to entertain Li Shimin and Guanyin.
During the banquet, Mrs. Dugu once again talked about Li Shimin sending a letter to ask Xiao Yu to return to Chang'an a few years ago.
She told Guanyin, don't look at your uncle slowly, he is a quick temper when he does things.
