Chapter 191: The First Day of the First Month
On the second day of the New Year, the heavy snow in Chang'an City was still falling, and there was no intention of stopping.
Outside Chang'an City, there was a master and a servant driving a carriage, as if they were coming from a long distance.
"Master, are we really going to participate in this incident?"
Su Qin smiled, lifted the curtain, and looked at Bai Shui who was rushing outside, "Bai Shui, we are here for the New Year, and we came from King Cheng's side, but we didn't come here to see the scenery." What happened in Chang'an City has caught many vassal kings off guard. They all want to find out the direction of Chang'an City as soon as possible, so that they can figure out what to do next. ”
The white sailor waved his braid and waved the old horse against the wind and snow, "Master, didn't Mr. Zhang write to say that he planned this matter?"
Su Qin tapped Bai Shui's head with his hand. You really believe what Zhang Yi said, it is impossible for him to manipulate such a big situation far away in Liangzhou, so in this matter, someone else is in charge of the overall situation. "
Bai Shui nodded, as if he understood, "Master, then what are we going to do on this trip?"
"Meet the man who stirred the muddy waters. ”
Bai Shui seemed to think of something, "Oh! So the master knows who is presiding over this incident in Chang'an City?"
Su Qin smiled and said, "Sort of." ”
"Can you tell me who it is, sir? ”
Su Qin sold a pass and did not answer Bai Shui's question, "When you get to Chang'an City, you will meet you." ”
Bai Shui sighed softly, and then stopped asking, and rushed to the car with peace of mind, striving to enter Chang'an City before noon.
Daming, Liangzhou.
Compared with the emperor who sat in Chang'an City, the people of Liangzhou are familiar with King Liang, yes, King Liang, not King Liang.
Why is the vassal king of Liangzhou the king of Liangzhou, this has to start from when Taizu divided the vassal kings.
King Liang's name is Wei Mu, he started very late, when Taizu was about to wipe out most of the Spring and Autumn Kingdoms, King Liang officially entered everyone's sight. The most famous battle was to lead more than a thousand cavalry alone, day and night, raided the Shu State at that time, and captured all their Shu people and brought them to Chang'an City. For a long time before, he had been feeding horses to Taizu
At that time, the generals knew that he was named King Liang, and they were dissatisfied, these old people who had been with him since Taizu started were just a general, why could he directly become a vassal king if he destroyed a Xishu?
So at that time, when the feudal king was divided, those generals fought in front of Taizu. Taizu had no choice but to change King Liang to King Liang, which was also considered an insult to Wei Mu, and then those generals pinched their noses and agreed to this, but why Taizu would protect Wei Mu like this has become a secret in everyone's hearts, no one knows, can only guess by themselves. said that Wei Mu was the illegitimate son of Taizu, and that Wei Mu was Taizu's own brother, and said everything at that time, but neither Taizu nor Wei Mu came out to explain, and let the rumors spread.
After Wei Mu became a vassal domain, the rumors automatically disappeared.
Daming, Liangzhou.
After so many years of development, the northern border is divided into three states, Liangzhou, Youzhou, and Qingzhou. These three states are large
The land directly bordering the Ming and Northern Qi was also the most harassed by the cavalry of the Northern Qi Dynasty, among which Youzhou, which did not have the King of Qi in charge, was the most painful, but Liangzhou, which had the King of Liang, did not dare to harass it too much.
As we all know, King Liang had no children under his knees, and in his early years, he had a daughter who was gifted and familiar with the art of war, but she died at the age of eighteen, which made King Liang at that time white-headed in an instant.
Fortunately, after King Liang grieved for a while, he came out and accepted the son of an old brother who died on the battlefield, that is, the white-clothed Zhao An who was talked about.
In the early years, this person was not famous and unknown, and it was not until he was accepted as a righteous son by King Liang that he officially entered people's field of vision?
Daming, at the junction of Liangzhou and Tingzhou, there is a team of people and horses, walking slowly.
All the guards were well-equipped forbidden troops, escorting a carriage and heading towards Liangzhou. A short walk is to walk out of the territory of Tingzhou and officially enter Liangzhou.
The closer to Liangzhou, the more the eyelids of the waiter who sat in the carriage jumped, the waiter was an old man who had been in the palace for a long time, and he came to Liangzhou this time to preach the decree, but he wanted to make a good contribution before he was about to get off the position, and then with the credit, even if he had no children and no daughters, he could enjoy his old age in peace, so as not to leave his current position and be bullied. In contrast, Yan Zhiwei was much more relaxed, with his hands on his lap, Yan Zhiwei glanced at the restless waiter beside him, and asked, "Gonggong Zhao, are you okay?"
Gonggong Zhao, who had the holy decree in his sleeve, was obviously not good, but he could only bite the bullet and say, "Lord Yan, our family is fine." ”
Yan Zhiwei obviously didn't believe it, touched his beard, looked at Zhao Gonggong's trembling legs, and said with a smile: "Zhao Gonggong, aren't you nervous?"
Gonggong Zhao shook his head, "Don't be nervous, our family is also a person who has seen the world, and a decree can scare me, but Lord Yan, you, the minister, will not have a good time on this trip." ”
Yan Zhiwei laughed, "Gonggong Zhao is still in the mood to worry about the old man, so it's better to think about it, when King Liang receives the holy decree, can you live." ”
"Yan Zhiwei, you!" Zhao Gonggong was obviously angry, but in the face of Yan Zhiwei, he was also helpless, everyone in the Ming Dynasty knew that Yan Zhiwei's son-in-law was Zheng Huaixian, Zheng Huaixian, who was one of ten people in the world. In fact, according to reason, in the eyes of those qi practitioners, Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, each family will have at least two or three saints, but Confucianism only has one Zheng Huaixian, and the Taoist Dazhen is all the great heavenly master Huang Wen with the foreign surname, and the old heavenly master who ascended before is not counted, plus the old Taoist chief of Wudang Mountain, Mr. Big, it is four saints. As for the Buddhist family, for so many years, there are only two people who have quit dusting and the old host of the Big Buddha Temple.
Although this is not in line with common sense, the people in the three religions also acquiesced to this fact, because all this was done by the fortune teller, so the people of the three religions saw Jia Zhen, the Buddhists were fine, but they just ignored it, as for Confucianism and Taoism, it was a beating when they encountered it, which was the only point of agreement between them.
Therefore, at that time, Zheng Huai first chased after Jia Zhen and ran for a long time.
Yan Zhiwei knew that these things were all told to him by Zheng Huaixian, and Yan Zhiwei only listened to them at that time, but recalled
Zheng Huaixian left Chang'an City for the last time and said to himself, "It is understandable that the emperor wants to cut the domain, but have you ever thought about why he didn't touch the strongest Yan King, or the most mysterious King Cheng, to touch this King Liang, not to mention that you don't know the relationship between King Liang and their Li family, it is not an exaggeration for King Liang to be said to be a relative of the emperor." ”
Yan Zhiwei sighed slightly, as an old man above the court, he knew more or less about the turmoil of sealing the king back then. The most critical reason why Taizu wanted to crown Wei Mu as the king is that Wei Mu is the son of Taizu's uncle, which even those generals above the court do not know, Yan Zhiwei knows this reason because he was the only one Yan Zhiwei stood up and said something for Wei Mu at that time, "The people themselves led a thousand cavalry to destroy Xishu, and if you have the ability, you will also go and destroy other countries with a thousand cavalry." ”
Yan Zhiwei remembered it very clearly, because of this sentence, when Wei Mu left Luoyang, he only looked for him Yan Zhiwei to drink, and the rest of the people didn't even look at it.
The closer the carriage got to Liangzhou, Yan Zhiwei's mind kept thinking about the wine jar in the middle of the night, not going to the main gate of his house, and climbing over the wall to find Wei Mu who was drinking.
Zhao Gonggong doesn't ask for anything now, why do you want Liang Wang Yinzi to go again, and now Zhao Gonggong doesn't even dare to think about it. Because on the border between Tingzhou and Liangzhou, a cavalry army appeared, and on the horizon in the distance, it was dense and endless.
Zhao Gonggong touched the holy decree in his sleeve, subconsciously swallowed his saliva, opened the curtain, and Zhao Gonggong saw very clearly, this is the famous Liangzhou cavalry that shocked the world.
Yan Zhiwei touched his beard and just smiled faintly, the relationship between the imperial court and any vassal king is not good, no exceptions.
In the Liangzhou cavalry, there was a white-robed general, holding a Fang Tian painting halberd, a white horse between his legs, and the white horse walked out quickly and ran towards the forbidden army.
Everyone in the forbidden army instantly drew their swords, clenched the weapons in their hands, and just watched the white-robed general come over.
This white-robed general is Zhao An, the righteous son of King Liang, who has frightened Northern Qi after the death of King Qi in the past ten years.
Zhao An rode a white horse and came to the front of the forbidden army, ignoring these forbidden soldiers who looked very nervous, turned the snow in his hand, put it in front of him, and said slowly: "Under Zhao An, Lord Yan Zhiwei is there?"
Yan Zhiwei, who was sitting in the carriage, laughed, got up and walked out of the carriage, lifted the curtain, and looked at Zhao An standing in front of the team. ”
Hearing that it was Yan Zhiwei, Zhao An nodded and said, "Lord Yan, my father-in-law is invited." ”
In the carriage, when Gonggong Zhao, who was in charge of delivering the decree, heard that Yan Zhiwei was going to be invited away by King Liang, he panicked at that time, hurriedly ran out, and said loudly: "Lord Yan, no, you are leaving, I can't pass on this holy decree." ”
Yan Zhiwei smiled, just looked at Zhao An, touched his beard and didn't speak. Zhao An didn't speak, squinted, and didn't know if the eunuch who was looking at this edict was Yan Zhiwei.
Without waiting for the old eunuch to say anything, the Liangzhou cavalry not far away began to charge and came this way.
The hands of the commander of the forbidden army began to tremble, and his people might not even be able to stop the first charge of the Liangzhou cavalry, let alone protect Gonggong Zhao and Lord Yan Zhiwei.
