Chapter 235: Descendants of the previous royal family

The new construction and journey to the west of Longwei Mansion were helped by Fan Zigai, the left-behind Dongdu, in terms of material and financial resources. One is to follow the favor of the water, and the other is to reward the meritorious soldiers. It is natural. The third is to find the property of the family searched after the destruction of the party is an astonishing number. No matter how many requests the Longwei Mansion requires, it is a drop in the bucket and is not worth mentioning.

The Longwei Mansion is just a show, but in fact, it is the Longwei Mansion's team. Even with Li Shimin's personal guard and Su Dingfang's Hebei Township Warriors, plus the grooms, coachmen and other servants recruited from Hexi, there were only more than 400 people, and even four brigades could not be raised. Fortunately, all of them were knights and the marching speed was good, but because of Fan Zigai's "generous and generous", there were more than 100 carriages in Longwei Mansion, which seriously dragged down the speed of travel.

At noon, Longwei Mansion crossed the valley water and entered the Cijian area. A few dozen miles ahead was the steep and narrow Cijian Road. Fang Xiaoer, who was exploring the way first, reported that Cijian Road was filled with the baggage troops of the Xijing army, and it is estimated that it will not be able to pass tonight.

The Xijing army began to evacuate from the Dongdu on the ninth day of the first lunar month and returned to Xijing. Considering the achievements made by the Xijing army in the suppression of the rebellion and the huge losses they paid for, all parties gave enough sympathy and acquiesced to take away a large amount of spoils. The Longwei Mansion and the Xijing army were only one day away, and the two sides would definitely meet tomorrow. Jialan followed the etiquette and went to see Wei Wensheng, Li Dan, Wei Jin and other powerful people in Xijing, but Jialan did not want to go because he killed Wei Fusi.

Wei Fusi is an important figure in the Wei family in Jingzhao, Guanzhong. His father was Wei Shikang, the important minister of the three dynasties. Wei Shikang was the nephew of Wei Xiaokuan. In modern Guanlong history, Wei Xiaokuan had a very high historical status. In the Wei family, the second status and power behind Wei Xiaokuan was Wei Shikang. Wei Shikang had three sons, among which the second son Wei Fusi was the most talented and had the most smooth career. He was the best among the young and middle-aged generation of Wei.

.As the gradual disappearance of the older generation of Wei, Wei Fusi's importance in the family became more and more prominent, and he was the target of the family's focus of training. However, unfortunately, he and his younger brother Wei Fujiao died in this storm, which gave Jingzhao Wei a heavy blow. What's especially fatal is that Wei Fusi died on the charge of betraying the party's leader, which was equivalent to pushing Wei to the forefront of the liquidation storm, making Wei unbearable.

The Wei family is too powerful, and many talents have emerged in the past century. In the Western Wei, Northern Zhou and the three dynasties of the Empire are the mainstays. Guanzhong's local Han nobles are the leader of the Wei family. The political stance of such a huge wealthy family will inevitably affect the direction of the empire's national policy. After becoming the throne of the Shang Dynasty, the pace of reform was accelerated, and inevitably infringed on the interests of the aristocratic group, especially the interests of the Guanlong aristocratic group. Therefore, the local aristocratic group headed by the Wei family moved further and further away from the reformists of the Shang Dynasty. The storm set off by Yang Xuangan brought the imperial reformists and conservatives.

He was pushed to the decisive battlefield. Although the local nobles in Guanzhong did not support him because of fierce conflicts in interests with Yang Xuangan, their political ideas would not change. They would continue to fight with the reformists of the empire after Yang Xuangan, the conservative faction. Therefore, in the next liquidation storm, the reformists who were in charge of the liquidation will find ways to lead the storm to Guanlong and to the local aristocratic group in Guanzhong. Wei Fusi, as the leader of the liquidation party, became the best gap for the reformists to tear open the frontal defense of the local aristocratic group in Guanzhong.

In this case, it is conceivable that Wei Shi's hatred towards Jialan is even possible, and it is impossible for Wei Shi to kill Jialan in extreme anger to vent his anger.

In the afternoon, Longwei Mansion arrived at Cijian City and set up camp outside the city.

Jialan and Fu Duanyi went west to discuss whether to visit the powerful people of Xijing after passing Cijian Road tomorrow. Jialan was determined to go west and had no intention of returning to Central Earth, so he didn't care about etiquette at all, and just wanted to avoid trouble. Of course, he supported him, but Fu Duanyi was cautious because Jialan's identity was revealed to the world and was different from the past. Even if Wei hated Jialan to the core, he would not dare to attack. After all, there was an old lady Gao in the Sima family in Wencheng, and a Duke of Guan Yang Gongren in the capital, let alone the emperor, Pei Shiju and Xue Shixiong were both the benefactors of Jialan. Therefore, in Fu Duanyi's view, Jialan avoided him, not only arrogant and rude, but also lost the face of the family and benefactors.

What the wealthy families care about is a face. At that time, the Yang family and the Sima family turned against each other, so that Mrs. Gao, Wencheng, lost her beloved son, and King Guande lost her beloved daughter. It was all because of that "face".

Unexpectedly, Fu Duanyi's words touched the pain of Galan. He suffered a lot since he was a child. He has been struggling on the brink of life and death since he joined the army. He has been slashed with all kinds of merits and great achievements with his own sword. Like ordinary people, he is born with envy, jealousy and hatred for wealthy families. The change of identity did not bring him any sense of glory. On the contrary, he fell into the whirlpool of hatred and made his psychology increasingly distorted. So he was eager to escape. He already understood his mother and knew why his mother made him swear that he would not set foot in Middle Earth for the rest of his life, because he did not belong to Middle Earth at all, nor to wealthy families. He was just a pitiful and humble official slave.

Jialan's face was gloomy and she interrupted Fu Duanyi's advice without hesitation, "Why should we bow down? We don't have that face, we have nothing to give."

Fu Duanyi smiled bitterly and shook his head. He laughed when he headed west and pulled Fu Duanyi out of the tent. The nickname of the tent was loud, the hooves were like thunder, and the cheers were even more loud. People in the northwest were in high spirits and overenerable, so they started playing polo on the grass outside the camp, and the atmosphere was as warm as a festival.

Galan sat silently, holding a flute in his hand, fiddling with it, but not in the mood to play. It has been a long time since he and his brothers in the northwest have not sang loudly in the past few months. The reason is that he has come to a strange place, a dangerous place surrounded by wolves, and a battlefield full of blood and killing. Everyone has their eyes open when they sleep, so how can they have time to sing and dance for fun?

Blizzard lay behind him, as if he felt his master's melancholy and resentful emotions. His violent eyes narrowed slightly. Suddenly, his eyes suddenly widened and he roared in a low voice outside the tent.

When Galan knew that someone was coming, she reached out and touched the long hair on Blizzard's neck, indicating that it would not be restless.

Li Shimin walked in after the curtain was lifted, and followed him was a middle-aged man in his forties, thin and upright shape. He looked gentle and cautious, and even gave people a feeling of timidity. However, after looking closely, it was not difficult to find that there was a sense of perseverance and tenacity between his eyebrows, which made people restrain their contempt and treat each other solemnly.

When Galan knew that the visitor was Gao Shilian, she stood up immediately. Last night, she didn't meet because she was busy handling official business and did not meet. Galan didn't care. He had no memory of Gao Shilian, and all his impressions came from Li Shimin's brief introduction. Until this morning when he said goodbye to Xue Deyin, Xue Deyin specifically instructed him that he knew that he and Gao Shilian were actually related.

Gao Shilian's grandfather was Gao Yue, the king of Qinghe, Northern Qi, and Gao Yue was the cousin of Gao Huan, the Emperor Shenwu of Northern Qi, while Jialan's grandmother, Mrs. Gao, was Gao Huan's daughter. Therefore, according to seniority, Gao Shilian was Jialan's cousin. According to Xue Deyin, when Mrs. Gao was in Xijing, she had close contacts with Gao Shilian and took good care of her. It was precisely because of this that Gao Shilian studied under Mrs. Gao's son-in-law Xue Daoheng and formed a friend of his age. Since Gao Shilian had this relationship with the Sima family in Wencheng, it was no wonder that Li Shimin dared to beg Jialan to help.

Li Shimin was quite familiar with it, so he called out "Brother Jialan..." and introduced Gao Shilian to himself.

Galan changed into a smiling face, rushed forward and greeted him respectfully.

After sitting down, without waiting for Galan to speak, Gao Shilian took the initiative to start with the relationship between the two families. No matter what Galan had for Sima's relationship, the blood of the former royal family of the Gao family of the Bohai royal family always flowed on Galan. This affection could not be eliminated, which gave Gao Shilian the opportunity to quickly get close to Galan in terms of emotions. Gao Shilian looked taciturn, but once the conversation was opened, it was really endless and interesting.

Soon the sky was getting dusk, and Jialan was in good mood and served the food. She invited Fu Duanyi to travel west and accompanied a group of Northwest Wolf brothers to introduce to everyone the descendants of the royal family of the previous dynasty.

After drinking, Jialan and Gao Shilian talked happily, and they became closer to each other psychologically, and they spoke casually.

"General, since Your Majesty has authorized you to establish the Longwei Mansion, why don't you take advantage of the convenient conditions of the Dongdu to recruit Ruishi on the spot so as to quickly complete the construction of the Longwei Mansion?"

Galan looked at him meaningfully, smiled faintly, and did not answer. Gao Shilian had something to say, but Galan had his own plans, so there was no need to tell his cheap relative Gao Shilian who had met for the first time. Unexpectedly, Gao Shilian pretended not to know and continued to tangle on this topic.

Jialan knew that Gao Shilian had a purpose, so he simply "sealed" him to death with one sentence, "Who do you think someone is? Your Majesty authorized someone to establish the Longwei Mansion, and someone could be arrogant and arrogant to lead the army of a mansion? He wanted to live a few more years, but he still didn't know that he was so stupid and ignorant that he was seeking death."

Gao Shilian was blushing and very embarrassed. Jialan scolded and became angry. Gao Shilian said it was just uninteresting. It was beyond Galan's expectation. Gao Shilian was old and thick-skinned, but he was just uninterested. Although he immediately changed the subject, what he said made Jialan even more angry.

"I guess that the Kansai people will definitely not let you go." Gao Shilian said slowly while drinking wine, "I heard from Erlang that Su Hexiang of Su's family has a vow to you, and this is your weakness."

Jialan had a smile on her face, but her heart was cold, and her eyes showed a little bit of sinisterness.

"General, you will arrive in Mianchi tomorrow, you must deal with it carefully."

Galan sneered, "What to deal with?"

"Guanlong is a whole." Gao Shilian said with a pun, "Guanzhong and Longyou are like left and right hands. Do you think you should be careful when dealing with it?"

Galan woke up suddenly, speechless.
