Li Siyuan sent a jade plaque, Cao Yanjiao was very happy, and Cao Yanjiao's promised noon toast, as she said, it was enough, and nothing needed to happen again. So Li Siyuan is confident.

Early the next morning, Li Keyong, the king of Jin, heard that Li Siyuan, the great Taibao, had fallen in love with a stunning woman named Cao Yanjiao, of course he was happy, and agreed to go to Huyanqi Mansion to propose marriage.

I saw this powerful King of Jin, wearing a purple robe, a thirteen gold and jade belt around his waist, pressing a knife in his hand, riding a green horse, and a sixty-four pound iron spear hanging on the silk ring of the victory hook, a tiger body as long as seven feet and seven inches, bright armor, a military uniform, and a majestic style.

Li Ke used a purple robe to decorate a dragon stag, a falcon rank Ruicao was embroidered on the front chest and back, and a goose ribbon was embroidered on his shoulders. One eye has been blind, slightly closed, one eye is like a tiger, and the cold light is shining.

The one who opens the road in front of him, the left and right Wu Wei Wei is decorated with the tiger, and the left and right leopard Taowei is decorated with the leopard. Behind the formation, the left and right eagles and guards are decorated with eagles, the left and right jade guards are decorated with falcons, and the left and right Jinwuwei are decorated with antibodies.

The great Taibao Li Siyuan also has his own military uniforms and guards, following his father's honor guard.

General Zuo Wu Weiwei had already galloped to Huyan Mansion on horseback and told him that the King of Jin had arrived. Hu Yanqi brought his wife eldest grandson Die and son Hu Yanyu, daughter Hu Yan Ronghua, righteous brother Cao Bo, righteous daughter Cao Yanjiao and the old and young of the mansion, Hula Lala greeted on the street outside the mansion.

From a distance, the excitement was crowded, the spectators were discussing, and some people whispered: "What is the most powerful King of Jin in Taiyuan Mansion visiting the Huyan family with the most money today?"

Someone had already gotten the gossip and said: "Didn't you see that there was a Chengdu fairy in Huyan Mansion, who hooked the soul of the Great Taibao, and the king of Jin Bacheng came to propose marriage." ”

Some people even saw it really: "Don't we all know the people in the Huyan family, and the girl I don't know is from Chengdu." Look at it, oh yo, that beauty. No wonder Li Siyuan fell in love, and Lao Tzu also fell in love, but unfortunately there was no such blessing. ”

Someone said in more detail: "Cut, it takes a few lifetimes for people to cultivate, but it can't be achieved in our lifetime." I heard that this girl's grandfather is Cao Li, the king of sticks, in the early years of Wuling King Song Gongya, Julu Gongchai Dayuan pacified the Rongzhou military rebellion, Cao Li was killed in battle and was named the Marquis of Shu, and his wife was named the king of Chengdu Mansion, so he settled in Chengdu. ”

It happened that Cao Bo walked up to this person, and when he heard that this person actually knew the origin of his father Shuhou, he was shocked, he must be a master. Seeing that he was more than 20 years older than himself, his heart trembled, could it be that he had an old relationship with his parents?

Cao Bo, a tea seller, hurriedly went over and hugged his fists to salute: "Xiao Ke Cao Bo, may I ask my uncle's surname, where is your mansion?

This person's beard is all white, but his expression is bright, and when he saw Cao Bo clasping his fists, he also saluted back: "Eh, I'm smiling, the little old man's golden knife Yang Jianbo, and Ling Zun is the fourteenth wing of Pingnan, I am the starling brother, and Ling Zun is the eleventh brother." King Wuling, Julu Gong took Xiao Lao'er and Ling Zun to quell the chaos, after the war, I was named the Marquis of New Qin, and settled in Xinqin County, Linzhou. ”

As he spoke, Yang Jianbo couldn't help tears rolling down. This is too thunderous, so shocked that Cao Bo knelt directly with his legs straight, and kowtowed again and again: "The eighth uncle is a thousand years old, and the little nephew is late to see him, and he hopes to forgive his sins." ”

Yang Jianbo hurriedly picked up the child, looked left and right, wiped a handful of tears, and said with a smile: "Hey, it's good, you have cultivated such a good girl, and the widow is happy for your father Shuhou." ”

As he spoke, he pulled out a big boy from behind him and pointed at Cao Bo: "Gun'er, meet Uncle Cao." This is the son of your eleventh master. Cao Bo, Gun'er is the eldest son of your brother Shihou. ”

When Cao Bo heard the word Shihou, he was immediately stunned, and he bared his teeth and didn't dare to speak for a long time.

Yang Jianbo looked at his expression, smiled slightly, hugged his fists and said: "Bo'er, you want to meet the King of Jin, the widow will say goodbye first, and have the opportunity to be a guest in my new Qinhou Mansion." Usually in Xinqin County, today I went to Taiyuan to visit relatives and happened to meet. ”

When Cao Bo looked at Uncle Ba again, he had already disappeared into the crowd with Yang Gon in his hand. Why was Cao Bo surprised by the word Shihou?

This Yang Shihou is amazing, he is one of the best generals under the account of Zhu Wen, the king of Liang, but it turned out to be the son of the eighth uncle. King Liang and King Jin are rivals in life and death, if this is discovered by King Jin, how can it be obtained?

He was still stunned, and his daughter Cao Yanjiao pulled his shirt violently and shouted: "Dad, Dad, how can King Chitose of Jin talk to you?"

"Ahh ”

Li Keyong, the king of Jin, laughed loudly: "Isn't that the golden sword Yang Jianbo?

Oh my God, I dare to love Li Ke who knows everything, Cao Bo couldn't help blurting out: "That is to say, Chitose knows that the teacher is thick?"

Li Keyong laughed loudly: "They are all famous generals of the Tang Dynasty, why don't you know? What's the matter, are you worried that the widow and Zhu Wen are against each other, and you don't dare to say that you have a family relationship with the Marquis of the New Qin Golden Dao?" It's okay, the eldest husband is his own master, and the situation has reached this step, no wonder." ”

Cao Bo saw that King Li Ke of Jin was so open-minded, and he suddenly relaxed a lot. But after thinking about it, the matter of the little girl's banquet was about to be finalized, and she didn't dare to make any mistakes. So he swallowed his father Cao Li and Yang Jianbo, who were once the sworn brothers of the Fourteenth Wing of Pingnan, back into his stomach.

He greeted: "I have heard that the king of Jin has a heart of the four seas, a martial arts strategy, and there is no hero in the world. Let's go, Leping Hou Huyan Mansion is talking. ”

Li Ke, the king of Jin, pulled up Cao Bo, laughed heartily twice and went straight to the Leping Marquis Mansion. At noon that day, it happened that Hu Yanzhang, the Marquis of Leping, and his eldest son Hu Yanyi, the second son Hu Yanyan, the eldest grandson Hu Yanxiao, and Hu Yanfeng, the son and great-grandson of Hu Yanxuan, were all in the house.

Le Pinghou and Hu Yanzhang also knew about Cao Yanjiao. Although Hu Yanzhang has never been married to Yang Jianbo and Cao Li, he has always been very close to the Fourteenth Wing of Pingnan and regards these children as his own. Today, Yanjiao is engaged, so she naturally pushes away all affairs and accompanies King Jin.

During the banquet, the two sides talked very happily, and Cao Yanjiao got behind her sister Huyan Ronghua from time to time, and secretly glanced at Li Siyuan. Today, according to custom, Li Siyuan is a prospective son-in-law who is questioned by his father-in-law, so he naturally accompanies him in the last seat with his back to the door of the hall, where does he know that the girl is peeking at herself.

However, Li Keyong, the king of Jin, saw Cao Yanjiao's shadow, and with his experience and vision, he could see at a glance how powerful this Cao Yanjiao was. There is nothing to say about the beauty of the show, just looking at the charm of the eyes, you know that the family martial arts cultivation is very high. Looking at his father Cao Bore, his eyes are like electricity, and his voice is like a bell, and he must be the queen of the fierce general.

The great Taibao Li Siyuan passed the three exam questions of the future father-in-law Cao Bo, and Li Keyong was also satisfied. After two decisions, Hu Yanyi will be the matchmaker and choose a day to get married.

After being lively for a while and eating some wine, Li Keyong still couldn't help but ask about Cao Bo's family background: "Although Brother Cao is from Chengdu, why does he have a Lingnan accent?"

Cao Bo no longer hides anything, the princely general's family originally paid attention to the right family, and our Shu Marquis and Miao descendants are not inferior to whoever is who.

Simple said: "The ancestor is a native of Zhouluo, Baizhou, Lingnan Province, in the twelfth year of Xuanzong Dazhong, my father Cao Li followed the Wuling King Song Gongya, Julu Gongchai Dayuan to pacify the Rongzhou military rebellion, because the iron rod weighed seventy-three pounds, was selected as the stick king. Unfortunately, the seven-step snake who died in Laizheng was posthumously named the Marquis of Shu by Xuanzong, and his grandparents and mother led the family to move to Chengdu and settled there. ”

Cao Bo said that in the second year of Dazhong (858), Rongzhou put down the rebellion, and of course produced a large number of capable generals.

Li Keyong was shocked and hurriedly asked: "Since we talked about Song Gongya, the king of Wuling, and Julu Gongchai Dayuan, they are not only the sworn brothers of the Fourteenth Wing of Pingnan, but also the sons of the Chongxin Nine Envoys Juguo Gongchai Department and Youhou Song Kai. Chen Pingyan, the widow's third wife, is the granddaughter of Chen Rui, the fourth brother of the Chongxin Nine Envoys. ”

When Hu Yanzhang, the Marquis of Leping, heard this, he immediately laughed: "This is interesting, Chitose can be known, but the wife of the Nine Envoys of Chongxin, the great-granddaughter of Li Bu, the Eagle of Lishan, and the granddaughter of Li Zhan, the Marquis of Nanzhao Sixiang, the Marquis of Fati, and the granddaughter of Li Zhan, Marquis of Huguan." It's all a family. ”

Cao Bo heard what they said, and sighed: "No wonder there is a folk proverb that says: The world's giant businessmen have a family, and all the princes in the world are related." This is really not bad, the people have a lawsuit with these people, where can they say it clearly?"

Li Keyong, the king of Jin, suddenly sank his face and sighed faintly: "Eh, listen to this, Brother Tai is really the home of giant businessmen, and he can also think about the people." Who would think that today? ”

said a lot, but in the end, the fourteen wings of Pingnan were pulled to the bottom. In the end, when Cao Yanjiao got married, Li Keyong personally ordered the generals, invited the new Qin Marquis and the golden knife Yang Jianbo, and asked him to also come to see off his relatives, and they all went to the Jin Palace.

As for Yang Shihou, the son of Yang Jianbo, the golden knife, Li Keyong sighed: "If you ask the pig to get this strong general, you can only call it the will of heaven, I hope that the golden knife marquis can be optimistic about Linzhou for the widow." ”

Li Ke, the king of Jin, called Zhu Wen, the king of Liang, a pig. Zhu Wen called Li Keyong a one-eyed dragon.

After Cao Yan took his daughter Cao Yanjiao and met his mother Zhang Qidie, in less than half a year, Cao Yanjiao married Li Siyuan and became Li Siyuan's second wife.

In the decades that Li Siyuan fought with his father Li Keyong and Zhuangzong Li Cunxuan, Cao Yanjiao not only handled housekeeping very effectively, but also handled the war with perseverance and decisiveness. Let's take an example to see how Cao Yanjiao assists her husband Li Siyuan.

In the first year of Tongguang in the Later Tang Dynasty (923), Zhuangzong Li Cunqiao destroyed the Later Liang and established the Later Tang Dynasty. Li Siyuan was named the head of the Later Tang Dynasty and the Han Dynasty and the Inner and Outer Mabu Army, and Cao Yanjiao was named the Lady of Chu.

Two years later, in February, Wei Bo's army rebelled, and Zhuangzong sent Li Siyuan to fight against him. As a result, the pro-soldiers mutinied and coerced Li Siyuan to attack Bianliang instead.

This is a long story, and the reason why these soldiers mutinied is related to Li Cunmiao, the greedy emperor.

When it comes to Li Cunqing's courage and invincibility, Emperor Zhu Wen of the Later Liang Dynasty was amazed: "If you give birth to a son, the Li family will not die! ”

Li Cunmiao's small character Yazi means that Li Keyong is not as good as his son, so Li Cunmiao is Li Yazi. Liang Taizu Zhu Wen means that, if you give birth to a child, you should be like this kid, Li Ke can't die! My children are pigs and dogs."

When the historian recorded, he changed the ordinary speech to the word of literary crepe, and it became that sentence.

In later generations, the founding leader of the peasant family praised: "Giving birth to a son should be like Li Yazi." "Born from Zhu Wen's words.

During the reign of Li Cunqiao, he merged the Qi country, destroyed the former Shu, and obtained the land of Fengxiang, Hanzhong and Liangchuan, shaking the southern secession of the countries. History said: "In the field of five generations, there is no one who is prosperous here." ”

However, as a generation of emperors, Li Cunmiao is very greedy for money, which is rare in history. Why is it rare? Look at it, the whole world is yours, and you can use as much as you want. Then you still collect money from your own palace treasury, isn't it a bit logically confusing? Don't you believe that the world is yours at all?

With such a comical logic, he implemented a policy of expropriation and extortion, specially set up rent envoys, and scraped the land within the rule of the Later Tang Dynasty, and the giant merchants and dealers were reduced to abject poverty. The subordinate countries, prefectures and counties below were miserable, the people were miserable, the feudal towns were resentful, the soldiers were separated, and the rebels were everywhere.

The gods were extremely shocked, and the gods went out one after another, and the grievances of the peddlers were countless, which will be described in detail later.

Finally, in April of the fourth year of Tongguang (926), when the emperor was a little more than three years old, the capital Luoyang broke out in the Xingjiaomen Rebellion and died. Later, Tang Jiangshan was transferred to Li Siyuan.

At that time, the commander of the forbidden army made Guo Congqian's uncle Guo Chongtao and his adoptive father Li Cunyi, but such a great hero was unjustly killed by Zhuang Zongshuji, Guo Congqian launched a mutiny, entered the palace, and burned Xingjiaomen.

Tang Zhuangzong, such a world-recognized fierce general, lost all his popularity after being emperor for more than three years. Xiao Guo Congqian launched a rebellion, and most of his close ministers actually chose to escape, and only a dozen people including Wang Quanbin, a military captain, were forbidden to resist.

In the melee, Zhuangzong Li Cunqiao relied on his might, although he was not killed on the spot by the rebels, but there were only a few people around him, and Guo Congqian's side actually killed more and more. The enemy's arrows were like flying locusts, and Zhuang Zong was shot by random arrows and was dying.

Wang Quanbin was covered in wounds, and braved arrows to help Zhuangzong Li Cunqiao to the Jiangxiao Palace, until he died and mourned. In the end, a servant picked up some discarded musical instruments, put them on Zhuang Zong's body and set them on fire, and burned his body. This incident is known in history as the change of Xingjiaomen.

In fact, the reason why Xiao Guo Congqian was so bold and dared to launch the Xingjiaomen change was because Cao Yanjiao killed the guardian army. What's going on here?
