Chapter 125: Brotherly Love
Du Fuwei said, he was reminded by Zhao Mingyuan and soon discovered that his good brother Fu Gongyou was indeed a man in the Demon Gate as Zhao Mingyuan said.
But what if it's a person in the Demon Gate?
Who doesn't know that Zhao Mingyuan is also very close to the Demon Gate now, and may even have secretly formed an alliance.
After all, Zhao Mingyuan and the Holy Maiden of the Demon Gate live in the same car, and the beauty service is even more envious of others, and this news is no secret.
What's more, among the princes of the world, how many people dare to say that they have nothing to do with the Demon Gate?
Du Fuwei poured himself a large glass of wine, and then said: "As long as he still treats me as a brother, he has not done anything to be sorry for me." Even if he is from the Demon Gate, so what? ”
It seems that Du Fuwei is still very open-minded, perhaps it should be said that he attaches too much importance to this brotherhood.
In fact, Du Fuwei and Fu Gongyi are indeed brothers.
According to historical records, Du Fuwei and Fu Gongqi are both from Zhangqiu County, Qi County, and they are both from poor families, and they have been good brothers who wear a pair of pants since they were children.
At that time, Du Fuwei was frustrated, and his family was poor and could not live, so he could only steal for a living.
Fu Gongyi's aunt's family is a sheep herding business, and the family is relatively wealthy, so Fu Gongyi stole sheep many times to give to Du Fuwei.
Later, the matter was discovered by Fu Gongyi's aunt, so she reported the theft to the government.
The county magistrate sent someone to arrest them, and Du Fuwei and Fu Gongqi, who learned the news in advance, had to go out together to escape for their lives, and gathered a group of people to gather in the Wuthean Mountains.
Although Du Fuwei was only 16 years old at that time, he was very big brother.
Every time he went out to raid, he paid great attention to the safety of his brothers, taking the lead when he charged, and personally retreating behind the palace, and everyone was impressed by the charisma of his leader, and they jointly promoted Du Fuwei as the main one.
From the beginning when the two fled together in embarrassment, until now the two founded the Jianghuai Army, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers, dominating the Jianghuai area.
In the past ten years, in Du Fuwei's heart, the two are really friends of life and death, like brothers, how can they be limited by the identity of the mere demon gate.
However, although it has not yet happened, in history, Du Fuwei was indeed killed by Fu Gongyi.
In real history, there was no Zhao Mingyuan, let alone Shuanglong to compete with Li Shimin, Li Shimin led his troops to sweep the world, almost invincible.
Therefore, Du Fuwei surrendered to Li Valve early, which should be said to be really unique.
He even sent troops to help Li Shimin attack Wang Shichong, and contributed a lot.
However, it can be seen that Du Fuwei has no ambitions in the world, and his uprising is only forced by the situation, and what he wants to do is to protect one side in the troubled times like Zhai Rang.
As Liu Heimin was defeated by the Li Tang Dynasty, Du Fuwei knew that if he didn't know each other, he would be the next one, so he went to the court to meet Li Yuan and expressed his absolute surrender to Li Yuan.
In this regard, Li Yuan did not treat him badly on the surface, gave him the surname Li, and worshiped the prince Taibao and the Taishang Book Order, stayed in Beijing, and was located on the king of Qi Yuanji, in order to show his favor.
This means that Du Fuwei's status is only below Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, and above Li Yuanji.
It's a pity that Du Fuwei lived in Chang'an for less than a year, that is, seven years of martial arts, and died violently.
As for how he died, the official history said that he was a good immortal for many years, and the bait mica was poisoned.
In other words, Du Fuwei wanted to live forever, and ate too much mica, so he died of poison.
In fact, judging from the fact that Li Yuan never let go of an anti-king, his death was not so simple.
It is estimated that he was killed by poisoning, or committed suicide by poisoning.
After all, his status is only below Li Shimin, and Li Shimin is a general of Tiance, and the danger is too high.
In fact, according to research, Du Fuwei's death stemmed from Fu Gongyou's rebellion.
After Du Fuwei entered the court, his old friend Fu Gongyou rebelled in his name, and his other subordinates were convinced of this.
This move naturally aroused the suspicion of Li Yuan's father and son.
His own old department, Du Fuwei's days in Chang'an can naturally be imagined.
In February of the seventh year of Wude (624), Du Fuwei died violently in Chang'an, and the cause of death is unknown.
According to the "New Tang Dynasty Book", it is recorded that Du Fuwei is a good elixir, and he died of mica poisoning by mistake, but he is afraid that there is poisoning, but it is difficult to say how to poison.
At that time, the Tang Dynasty had almost unified the whole of China, and the Tang army was strong and brave, where was what Fu Gongqi could resist.
As a result, he suffered defeat and surrendered in March of the seventh year of Wude (625), and was subsequently sentenced to death.
After Fu Gongyou was put down in rebellion, Li Xiaogong found a forged letter from Fu Gongyou and Du Fuwei's rebellion in Fu Gongyou's camp tent and reported it to Li Yuan.
By this time, Duvowe was dead.
So, Li Yuan took the opportunity to deprive Du Fuwei of his official title and his family membership, took back the surname Li, and demoted him to a commoner.
It can be seen that surrender will not end well.
Until the first year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin ascended the throne and knew that he had been wronged, so he reinstated his official title, buried him with the etiquette of a prince, and gave all the confiscated family property to his son, and let his son inherit his title.
Of course, that is recorded in the history books, and in this world of Tang Shuanglong, it is naturally more different.
However, even in the Datang Shuanglong World, Du Fuwei's fate is not much better.
It's just that the difference is that he was not stabbed in the back by Fu Gongyou, but by Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, two cheap sons.
Presumably, after Kou Zhong completely relinquished his power and surrendered the world, this cheap father, who trusted his two godsons very much, could only reluctantly kneel to the Li family.
The end result is probably no different.
It's just that maybe his friendship with Fu Gongyou has really not changed for a lifetime.
After all, the two met when they were young and had a deep love, but they couldn't fake it.
Therefore, even if Fu Gongyou may indeed have a ghost in his heart, Zhao Mingyuan is no longer able to question their brotherhood.
After all, their brotherhood for more than ten years, where can Zhao Mingyuan, an outsider, question?
In Du Fuwei's mouth, in the face of his doubts, Fu Gongyou directly admitted it.
even said that he has always been his good brother and has never done anything to be sorry for him.
He also said that the reason why he joined the Demon Gate was also to use the power of the Demon Gate to help Du Fuwei's career.
After all, today, if there is no support from one party, I am afraid that it will be swallowed by life long ago. Only with adequate support can we achieve great things.
And Du Fuwei was born in poverty, and it was impossible for him to gain the support of the family gate valve and the Baidao forces.
Therefore, Fu Gongyou had to seek the power of the Demon Gate.
In this regard, Zhao Mingyuan couldn't help but be silent.
In a way, this is indeed true.
In this world, the forces of all parties are intertwined, and there is no place for the poor to get ahead, and it is not impossible for Fu Gongyou to speak.
Even, Du Fuwei also said that he had encountered danger several times in the process of rising. In the end, they all turned evil into good fortune like divine help, and the death was auspicious.
Now, the truth has been revealed, and it turns out that it was Fu Gongyou who obtained support through mediation in the Demon Gate, which allowed him to tide over the difficulties.
Could it be that things are really as Fu Gongyou said, he really cares about brotherhood and never harms Du Fuwei?
Even Zhao Mingyuan couldn't help but wonder.
After all, Zhao Mingyuan recalled the original fate trajectory of the Tang Shuanglong, and it seemed that there was indeed no direct evidence to explain Fu Gongyou's intention to harm Du Fuwei.
Zhao Mingyuan couldn't make up his mind, so he simply didn't care.
Anyway, you don't have to blame people for things that haven't happened, just be vigilant.
Maybe they can really be good brothers for life.
After going around in a big circle, Du Fuwei poured out the brotherhood between them before getting down to business.
Du Fuwei said that Fu Gongyou did have the heart to surrender, but the demon gate behind him seemed to have other intentions.
Therefore, Fu Gongyou can't be the master.
The Demon Gate did not make any specific requests, and it seemed that Zhao Mingyuan needed to negotiate in person.
Heh, the Demon Gate originally had a special contact with Zhao Mingyuan. But this time, he didn't mention it to Zhao Mingyuan, but asked Du Fuwei to come and tell him.
Obviously, this will not be a good thing. I'm afraid I want to put forward some conditions.
Of course, Zhao Mingyuan did not give Du Fuwei a face.
After all, people come to surrender with good intentions, but they are just helping their brothers pass on a word, and it is not a big crime.
So, Zhao Mingyuan left Du Fuwei for good hospitality, and sent someone to inform the Demon Gate.
Although he didn't know what the Demon Gate was going to do, Zhao Mingyuan didn't get used to their plans.
Not only did he not prepare to go in person, but he summoned the Demon Gate and asked them to take the initiative to come and negotiate on their own territory.
Although with Zhao Mingyuan's current strength, there is nothing else in the Demon Gate that can threaten him.
But Wan Wan's plot was a wake-up call for him, and Zhao Mingyuan was not careless, and he was not prepared to take risks lightly.
Moreover, now Zhao Mingyuan is strong, and the other party is weak. But the demon gate still dares to ask again, how can this kind of thing be used to it?
If Zhao Mingyuan retreats this time, I am afraid that the Demon Gate will gain more inches, and there will be more and more such things.
Therefore, Zhao Mingyuan did not back down in the slightest this time.
In fact, after conquering Luoyang, Zhao Mingyuan's strength and fame have swelled dramatically, and if he forms an alliance with the Song Valve and sweeps Jiangnan, half of the country will be in hand.
Then the demon gate will have no effect on him.
Maybe the Demon Gate also took this into account, and was afraid that Zhao Mingyuan would regret it in the future, so he wanted to reap some benefits in the end.
After receiving Zhao Mingyuan's reply, seeing his reaction like this, everyone in the Demon Gate was extremely angry.
But there is one thing that Zhao Mingyuan is not mistaken, that is, the situation has indeed changed now, and Zhao Mingyuan, whose strength has risen sharply, occupies a dominant position in cooperation.
Therefore, even if the Demon Gate was extremely dissatisfied with Zhao Mingyuan's attitude, he had to take the initiative to come to Zhao Mingyuan's building ship to seek cooperation.
This is naturally because the Demon Gate wants to get more support from Zhao Mingyuan.
After all, Zhao Mingyuan has not yet unified Jiangnan, and the ownership of the world has not yet been determined. Therefore, the Demon Gate still has a few chips to bargain with Zhao Mingyuan.
If Zhao Mingyuan rules Jiangnan soon, then the Demon Gate will really have no place in front of Zhao Mingyuan, and he can only be slaughtered.
