Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 85
The division of Webster's houses is mainly the sons after Wen Huigong Wei Xu.Kui Gongfang is the eldest son of Wei Xu, the descendant of Wei Kui, a hermit in the Northern Dynasties.Although this branch is the long house, its status is not as good as that of Xun Gongfang.Wei Ting, who is currently playing for the East Palace, was born in the royal family.

Xun Gongfang, the second son of Wei Xu, after Xiao Wei Kuan.Wei Xiaokuan was a famous general in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and he was granted the title of Duke Xun, so he became the big family member of Jingzhao Wei's family.At the same time, the title of Duke Xun was also passed down to successive generations of the Wei family.

As for the Gugongfang, Qiangongfang, Shungongfang, etc. are all side branches, the population is not prosperous, and the talents are not prosperous.

Let's just talk about the direct descendants of Xun Gongfang. Among Wei Xiaokuan's sons, the third son, Mr. Wei, is the most prominent. He used to be Jing Zhaoyin, so he is the head of the family.

After Mr. Wei, was the eldest son Wei Yuancheng, but it was a pity that he married the wrong daughter and died of depression under the influence of the traitor Li Zixiong.

The person who took over was his brother Wei Quanbo.

Wei Kuangbo performed well in the Sui Dynasty and was reused by Emperor Sui Yang, but died of illness in Jiangdu not long ago.

Therefore, the eldest son Wei Yuanzhao was the head of the family, and Li Yuan named him Duke Xun.

Wei Siqi is the second son of Wei Kuangbo.

After learning about Webster's history, Li Zhiyun just wanted to sigh with emotion, it's really complicated.

Of course, the history of Lao Li's family is more complicated than this.

"Si Qi doesn't need to be too polite."

Li Zhiyun helped Wei Siqi up, and said kindly: "From now on, I hope Siqi will mention me more."

"Don't dare." Wei Siqi hesitated a little, looking quite embarrassed.

There is no way, the clothes he put on when he went out today have been mended several times, they are tattered, and there is no trace of the demeanor of a child of an aristocratic family.

Li Zhiyun noticed this, frowned and said, "Duke Xun treats the children of the clan so harshly?"

"Your Highness, calm down." Wei Siqi explained: "The Patriarch did not treat his subordinates harshly."

Du Ruhui explained from the side: "Your Majesty, Si Qi is the teacher of Wei Xue. There are many children in the ethnology who are young and lonely, and Si Qi is usually helping."

So that's the case, Li Zhiyun was still wondering if this was Wei Siqi's unique hobby of dressing, so it turned out to be the case.

"This king can't give you anything here, but I will never let you starve and freeze." Li Zhiyun patted him on the shoulder and said, "The position of master of the palace has been vacant for a long time, please Siqi not to be disgusted."

"Don't dare, I am willing to serve His Highness."

Li Zhiyun laughed, and said: "Keming, call Xue Shou, Yuan Jing, Chu Suiliang, Chu Liang and others. This king wants to take over Siqi."

"As ordered!"

Wei Siqi sighed silently in his heart, he originally only wanted to find an official position to support his family, but he did not expect the King of Chu to value him so much.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

"Since we have entered the Chu Palace, we will be a family in the future, so there is no need to express our thanks."

In addition to being close to Wei Siqi, Li Zhiyun also wanted to take this opportunity to let his staff get to know each other well, so as to avoid friction in the future.Yuwen Rutong and Yuan Shoucheng were also called to have dinner together, and several generals were also present.

During the banquet, there is no need to talk about pushing cups and changing cups.Both Xue Shou and Xue Yuanjing are well-educated people, after some conversation, Wei Siqi immediately put away the smallness in his heart.He originally thought that the Chu Palace was short of talents, and Du Ruhui came to him to help him, but the current situation was completely different from what he thought.

As for Xue Shou, he felt a little strange. He sometimes looked at Wei Siqi, and sometimes at the King of Chu, and his thoughts could not be restrained.

At the end of the year, Sheng Yan sent a good news from Yiyang. He successfully ambushed and killed the traitor Li Mi in Xiong'er Mountain.

Li Yuan was very happy, and immediately made Master Sheng Yan the Duke of Ge Guo, appointed General Wuwei, and continued to command troops to guard Yiyang.

Along with the good news, Li Mi's head was also introduced to the capital.

"Father, my son thought that the news of Li Mi's death should be covered up, and sent someone to recruit Xu Shiji into Chang'an. Only in this way can we ensure that the Central Plains will never recover." Li Jiancheng said.

Li Yuan knocked on the box, which contained Li Mi's head, and pondered: "I'm afraid this kind of news can't be covered up."

Li Shimin said: "Father, since Li Mi has been killed, why not let someone take Li Mi's head to Liyang, so as to deter the remnants of Wagang."

Li Shimin dismissed the eldest brother's practice of deceiving his ears and stealing his bell, and killed them all. This approach is useless at all, it is better to directly frighten Xiaoxiao.

Li Yuanji snorted coldly and said: "In my opinion, the Wagang bandits are not worthy of trust. It is better to avoid future troubles forever. Not only Li Mi deserves to die, but other Wagang generals deserve to die."

As expected of you, Li Yuanji, only you can say this kind of reckless and vicious thoughts so easily.

"Fourth brother, we have already killed Li Mi. If we kill all the old Wagang troops who surrendered, Wagang will live forever with our Tang Dynasty. Once the remnants of Wagang unite with Wang Shichong, Luoyang's territory will expand to Qingzhou." Li Shimin said: "At that time, I will go out from the Tang Dynasty, and the enemy's strength will be extremely strong."

Li Yuanji rolled his eyes, and elbowed Li Zhiyun, a melon eater.

"Zhiyun, what do you think?"

My fourth brother, my name is Li Zhiyun, not Li Yuanfang, don't keep asking me what I think, I just want to be a quiet and handsome man.

"Father, why don't you send Li Mi's body to Liyang and hand it over to Xu Shiji. If this person really surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, he will bury Li Mi properly and dismiss the old Wagang tribe. If this person harbors a grudge, he will definitely take advantage of it." Opportunity to rebel."

"Zhiyun's words are justified. The emperor and the sons and ministers seconded it." King Qin said.

Li Yuan glanced at the fifth child unexpectedly, he found that this son seemed very stupid in political struggle, but he was very good in judging war.

"Okay, let Xu Shiji choose by himself." Li Yuan ordered: "Pass down the order and order Shandong Dao to appease the ambassador, and Huaian Wang Li Shentong will follow up on this matter."

Around October, Li Yuan granted Li Shentong the title of King of Huai'an and Ambassador of Shandong Province.But Li Shentong has been dawdling and not taking up the post, because Shandong Dao is empty talk, and now the territory of Shandong Dao is in the hands of the rebels, what can he do.

Later, unable to stand Lao Li's urging, Li Shentong took Cui Mingan to Xiangzhou helplessly.

After talking about the business, the father and son talked about the New Year.

"You have already opened the mansion. This year's Shou Sui, you will stay in the mansion and don't come. You will enter the palace again when the first day comes to celebrate."

"Yes." All four sons agreed.

Li Yuan looked at Li Zhiyun and asked, "Are you studying recently?"

Li Zhiyun was a little confused when he asked this question, what book did he study after he graduated?

"Here I am."

"what book?"

"Long Shi asked my ministers to read more Analects."

Li Yuan snorted coldly, "Confucianism."

He changed his tone and said: "Since you are the prince and the prince of the Tang Dynasty, how can you not know the history and the words of the Spring and Autumn Period, you must read it."

"My son, please remember." Li Zhiyun was a little puzzled, he was not Guan Erye, what age did he study.Besides, Chunqiu is hard to understand.

Back in the mansion, Li Zhiyun immediately told Du Ruhui about this matter.

"My lord, the history written in the Spring and Autumn Period is a metaphor for people. The sage wants the king to pay more attention to court affairs."

Li Zhiyun was stunned, and said with a smile: "Looks like last time the Wude Palace pretended to be stupid, and the emperor was a little unhappy. Forget it, then please ask Keming to explain the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn to me."

"Of order." Du Ruhui agreed with a smile.
