Chapter 670 The King of Taiyuan
Wu Youren said he wanted to make sworn brothers with Du Da's chin. Du Da's chin whispered and stood there on the spot. His expression made Wu Youren very satisfied.
Wu Youren thought to himself: "Look, this is the case with these low-born people. As long as the superiors give them a little benefit, they will be unparalleled. If a background like him can become sworn brothers with me, it will be a smoke from his ancestral tomb. You must know that the last brother who was sworn with me is Yang Ze, the king of Yan!"
Du Da's chin thought to himself: "This old bastard actually wants to cheat me and become a sworn brother with me. Isn't this trying to kill me? I don't want to die on the same year, month and day as him. That's a big loss!"
Their ideas were completely different. Wu Youren thought that being sworn with Du Da’s chin was to make friends with him, but Du Da’s chin thought that he had suffered a great loss.
Seeing that Du's chin was stunned for a long time, Wu Youren had to say - You-You-Xiao-Shunting - Updated - Newest - Quickest - said: "Guard Du, think about it, you and I are all working by your side, you are protecting Your Highness inside, I am giving advice to Your Highness outside, if you and I become brothers, and if you and I complement each other inside and outside, you will be twice the result with half the effort. This is a great thing!"
Wu Youren didn't talk much about friendship with Du Da Chin. They really had no friendship, so what he said was in favor of interests. He thought Du Da Chin was thinking of getting promoted and getting rich at this time, so it would be better to talk about interests than to talk about friendship.
Du Daqin thought, "I work for the prince to get rid of him, so we will become enemies in the future. Well, that's okay. It's not the first time I've been lying to someone. Just beg me. If you want to be a clerk, I won't be merciful when I chop your head up in the future."
Thinking of this, Du Daqin said shyly: "The villain really never expected that he could become brothers with Lord Wu. The villain is really a high-spirited!"
Wu Youren laughed and said, "Brother Du must have a bright future in the future. How can we make a high-level move? Come on, let's become sworn brothers here!"
It sounds nice to say, but Wu Youren thought to himself: "Oh, Du Da Chin, your ugly face is really ugly than a ghost. He is even shy, but it's really disgusting to me!"
He looked down on Du Daqin, but now he has been demoted. Not only will he leave the imperial center of Chang'an, but he is afraid that he will be farther away from the prince in the future when he arrives in Taiyuan, so he urgently needs an inner supporter. Prince Li Chongjiu has no confidant yet, so he wants to win over his help, but he can't find an inner supporter, and he can only find a Du Daqin. Swedishness is the best way to win over. No big son has to go out. Just say a few oaths casually, and even if this person gets the hand, it's not worth it, so why not do it!
The two of them didn’t think the house was simple. It didn’t matter if there was no incense or candle, and it didn’t matter if they couldn’t chop the chicken head and burn yellow paper. Anyway, everyone values loyalty and situation. Anyway, they just kneel together and say a few oaths that are not painful!
The two knelt side by side on the ground, and after saying a few oaths to the courtyard, they kowtowed three times. Wu Youren became Brother Wu, and Du’s chin became Brother Du. The two of them clasped their fists and saluted each other, both of whom were so excited that they could have a brother of a different surname. They were so excited that they shook their hands, and they were almost filled with tears.
At this time, the door of the house creaked open, and two black charcoal heads stretched in, as if they wanted to say something. However, seeing the situation in the house, the two black charcoal heads quickly retracted back to the door, and the door was closed.
Outside the door, two black charcoal heads looked at me, and I looked at you, and one black charcoal head said, "I read that right, I saw them kneeling on the ground, holding their hands together, very ambiguous. What are they going to do, why don't they go on the bed?"
His words were seriously ambiguity and tended to be dirty, but he was originally a rascal, and it was not uncommon to have such dirty thoughts. On the contrary, if he had any noble thoughts, it would be questionable, and he would be suspected of being possessed by a ghost!
Another black charcoal head said, "You read it wrong..."
"Oh, maybe, I just took a look, it was very likely that I had read it wrong." The black charcoal head of the previous nodded quickly.
Another black charcoal head continued, "I clearly saw that they were hugging each other, but I didn't see it if I kissed them!"
The yard was not very big. As soon as they spoke, many black charcoal heads heard it. They talked a lot and gathered around together, talking all over, all about Wu Youren and Du’s big chin. Are they dressed in dishevel, kissing, and rolling around on the ground, etc.
These people are all bastards. Even if they become heroes, they claim to themselves, and their faces are covered with dust. They are just as idle and uncomfortable as they say something strange. Fortunately, they are very quiet when they speak, so they didn't let Wu Youren and Du Daqi inside hear it, otherwise they would have to be madly angry.
In the room, the two of them supported each other and stood up. Wu Youren said, "Brother Du, you have to feel wronged here for another day. I will not be able to enter the palace again today. I can only go to the East Palace tomorrow and explain this to His Royal Highness the Prince. When I come to pick you up tomorrow, we will enter the palace together."
Du Da's chin nodded repeatedly. He was a little anxious. It would be great if he could enter the palace today. However, Wu Youren had just been demoted. Although he didn't tell him the specific situation, of course he could find out, so it would be fine if he didn't ask. However, depending on the situation, Wu Youren really couldn't bring him into the palace today.
After the two said a few more words, Wu Youren said goodbye and went out. After leaving the house, he saw the black charcoal heads all over the yard and said, "Why haven't you washed the bottom of the pot on your face? Do you want to keep it for the New Year? A group of…"
Wu Youren looked down on people of low origins. If he hadn't had the need, he wouldn't have a good color on Du's chin, let alone sworn brothers. When he saw the group of black charcoal heads in the yard, he would have said, "A group of ordinary men are in a bad mood. He urgently needs a place to vent, and cursing is of course a good way to vent.
But suddenly he thought again that these people were going to be guards for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Maybe they would be able to gain the trust of Prince Li Chongjiu more than him in the future, so they must not be offended. Anyway, he was just praying to Du Daqiu's chin. It would be a bit of a difficult thing to say a few nice words to these exact black charcoal heads.
"A group of very cautious righteous men. When the situation improves in a few days, the official will definitely serve as a drink and repay your brothers for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Wu Youren changed his words in time and bowed to the heroes with his fists, very polite and polite demeanor.
The heroes rushed to give the gift and sent Wu Youren out of the yard. After closing the yard, the heroes talked a lot and asked Du Daqian if Wu Youren liked men with black hair, just like the prince liked men with big beards?
The man who Li Chongjiu likes bearded has spread among the heroes, and now they are beginning to doubt Wu Youren's special hobbies again.
Du Da's chin waved his hand and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Why do you do these useless nonsense? Get me a basin of water. I clean my face and go to see the Grand Marshal and ask us what we should do next!"
Hearing that Du Daqin was about to see the Grand Marshal, the heroes calmed down and invoked him a wash water. Du Daqin dismounted and washed his face and went out. The heroes also started washing their faces. Basins of black water fell to the gate, and the black water flowed to the door of the neighbor's house, but the neighbors didn't even dare to ask. What a large group of ferocious men, they were still dark and could not even hide. Who dared to ask?
After retiring from the court, Yang Ze returned to the Ministry of War, took his entourage around, and immediately took his entourage out of the city and returned to the barracks. The emperor asked him to go to war. Before leaving, he had to take all the military powers in the capital. To put it bluntly, he would clean up all the local officials who were dissatisfied with him. In fact, there was no need for the army. Wang Peilun needed to hand over the list, and then the Bohai warriors and Zhenxi soldiers came to the door to clean up the local officials according to the list. Even if the matter was settled, as for the vacant official positions, naturally someone would take over. Now Shen Deyin has attracted many officials and stood in Yang Ze's team.
When Yang Ze returned to the barracks, Tan Zhengwen told him that the "fixion" of Liang Dazhong had been made. Yang Ze did not ask much, but gave it to Tan Zhengwen. He immediately recruited generals to ask about the customs and customs in Taiyuan.
The emperor issued an order to ask Yang Ze to suddenly realize that the news had reached the barracks. Before Yang Ze came back, the generals knew that the generals leading the troops were not those generals who entered the Tiance Army, and they were not so easy to fool.
When the generals heard that Yang Ze did not ask about the sudden situation, they asked about the situation in Taiyuan. They knew that Yang Ze was going to stumbling on the prince, otherwise why would he care about the customs and culture in Taiyuan? To put it bluntly, isn’t he just caring about the Li royal family there?
Yang Ze had a rough understanding of the members of the royal family in Taiyuan, but he still wanted to hear the views of the generals, and maybe he could hear some inside information that he could not find out!
The generals did not disappoint him and told him about the forces of the Li royal family in Taiyuan, such as titles and fiefdoms, as well as the personalities of the royal family. Yang Ze did not need to ask about the personalities of the royal family, but he wanted to know the personalities of the royal family.
There are two princes in Taiyuan, and they are both iron hat kings, and they are the kind of kings who do not need to be demoted. There are several types of titles in the Dafang Empire. The first type is the title that does not need to be demoted. For example, if the first generation is the prince, then the second generation's heirs are still the prince, and the third generation is the same.
The second type is downgrading. For example, the first generation is a prince, the second generation is a duke, and the third generation is a marquis. If the downgrading generation after generation, the family will become the same as the common people.
The third type is to only enthrone one generation. For example, a minister is very capable of doing things, so the emperor appointed him as Duke Qin. However, this Duke can only be included in this generation. If the minister dies, it cannot be passed on to the next generation.
Of course, all ministers or people in the royal family want the first type of title, but this kind of title is the least, but Taiyuan is just the opposite. Almost all people with titles belong to the Li family royal family, and all titles are all worn with iron hats. In other words, the Li family royal relatives here do not need to be demoted, but there are two princes, two dukes, and three marquises in Taiyuan. As for the Earl, Viscount, Baron, etc., there are a lot of them.
Of course, the most important ones are two princes, one is the title of prince, named King Cheng, and the other is the title of prince, named Jingde. King Cheng's title was left by Emperor Taizong of this dynasty, while Prince Jingde's title was left by Emperor Taizong's uncle.
When Emperor Taizong was alive, his brothers were not harmonious, and finally turned against each other and became enemies. Taizong gave all his brothers, but only the younger brother died early and when he died, the relationship between the younger brothers was quite good, so Taizong appointed his younger brother's descendants to Taiyuan and gave the name of the title of the word "cheng".
As for the first generation of Prince Jingde, he was a meritorious official who helped Emperor Taizong to conquer the country. He was a great meritorious official. He was also named the king and enjoyed his life in the prosperous place of Taiyuan.
The current King Cheng and Prince Jingde are both old men. Their personalities are almost the same. They both have the same temperament. They are of the kind of temperament that they must be dizzy if they have anything to do. To be cowardly, it can be said to be weird. If Li Yan is compared with them, then Li Yan will be a bold person.
It is precisely because of their cowardly nature that they were both slapped in the left face, but they still had to turn their right face over and make people beat them. If others were not satisfied with the beat, they would even send their butts and let others kick them. After being kicked, they might even praise them, which was so comfortable!
Such a cowardly and slutty person, even Empress Dugu didn't have the nerve to deal with them back then. Seeing that they were obedient, they ignored them. Therefore, these two princes not only lived well, but even died later than Empress Dugu. When the locals in Taiyuan mentioned them, they all used the description of turtles for thousands of years. As long as they shrank, they would live a long life.
As for the other dukes and marquis, and a group of little lords, they all have the same temperament. Anyway, there is no one who dares to stand out. In the eyes of Queen Dugu, they are all a group of cowards and unwilling people to pay attention to.
After the generals told the situation that they knew, Yang Ze frowned. This was similar to what he thought, but the key to the problem was that when Queen Dugu was alive, these people were all quite cowardly, but now that Queen Dugu died, will they continue to cowardly?
Yang Ze said: "The two princes must have sons, right? Are there any of their sons like a little?"
The generals shook their heads together. The sons of these two princes were also very useless, and one general said, "The descendants of these two princes are even more useless than them. Moreover, they seem to regard uselessness as family precepts. Not only are they useless to ask for their descendants, but they even beat their sons with a little bit of backbone to death. The two princes once beat one son to death."
Yang Ze's eyes lit up instantly and he said, "Is it because of this that the late emperor thinks they are loyal? They are very... very loyal to the late emperor, but they are cruel enough to their own family."
The generals hesitated, but they didn't know the specific reason. Moreover, when Empress Dugu was in power, it was a taboo to talk about the Li royal family. Everyone was not interested. If the sentence was not discussed well and the empress knew it, it would be a fatal matter.
Yang Ze asked again: "How can we prove that those two princes with some backbone were really beaten to death?" r1152
