A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 372

Yongxingfang.

The grandson's house.

Wu Huaiyu brought Master Duan over to see Changsun Wuji. This house was the former residence of Changsun Wuji's father, Changsun Sheng. After his father died, Changsun Wuji, mother and son were driven out by Changsun Anye.

Changsun Wuji has five brothers, the eldest Wunai is more capable, but unfortunately he refused to attach himself to the king of Han, Yang Liang rebelled and was killed, and he was named the Duke of Qingdu County. long.

The eldest son, Anye, was also called Wuxian, a wine-loving rascal, and the eldest son Sheng's family business was inherited by him.

Changsun Sheng has four brothers. His ancestor was the king of Shangdang in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Later, his family was named Duke of Pingyuan, but Changsun Sheng was not the eldest son, so the family title had nothing to do with him. To the Great General.

After Li Shimin proclaimed himself emperor, he specially bestowed upon his father-in-law the titles of Sikong, Shangzhuguo, and Qiguogong, with posthumous titles. It is said that Li Shimin originally wanted to follow the example of Duguxin and Dou Yi, the fathers of the two empresses of the Tang Dynasty, to bestow the title of grandson. Sheng belonged to King Qi, but was dissuaded by Empress Changsun.

Empress Changsun has always been humble.

Changsun Sheng's father's Duke of Pingyuan is now inherited by Changsun Wuji's uncle, Changsun Chang. At the beginning, he led his children to welcome Li Yuan into the pass in Xinfeng.

But like the elder Sun Shunde, he is now dismissed from his post for accepting bribes.

The eldest grandson Anye was previously knighted as the Duke of Changning County, and later he was granted the title of Duke of Qingdu County. However, now the eldest grandson Anye is sent to the south of Lingnan, and his wife, concubine and children are also sent to the south of the Yangtze River. Mowgli,
The eldest grandson Wuji asked the emperor to give all these family properties and titles to the fifth younger brother eldest grandson Wuyi.

The eldest grandson Wuyi has no outstanding abilities, but he is also the uncle of the country after all. Although he is not the same mother as the queen, he also has the same father. Wuyi and his brother-in-law Zhang Wenjin are both generals of the Qin Palace. .

Li Shimin accepted Changsun Wuji's request, and transferred Changsun Sheng's house in Yongxingfang and Changsun Anye's family property to Changsun Wuyi, and asked Changsun Wuyi to descend to the throne and change his title to Duke of Pixian County.

At this time, not only the eldest grandson Wuji, but also his fifth younger brother eldest grandson Wuyi, and their brother-in-law Zhang Wenjin lived in the house.

The queen's half-sister's husband, Zhang Wenjin, is now one of the six leaders of the East Palace, Zuo Siyu. Like An Yuanshou's family, he is from a well-known wealthy family in Wuwei County, Liangzhou, Hexi, but he is worse than them, but Zhang Wenjin is not only Li Shimin's My cousin's husband, his grandmother is the daughter of Li Hu, his mother is the daughter of Dou Rongding of the Fufeng Dou family and Princess Wan'an, the sister of Sui Wendi Yang Jian, and his father Zhang Bian was also the Shangzhu Kingdom and General of the Sui Dynasty.

Zhang Zong and Zhang Wenjin are not only brother-in-law to Li Shimin, but also uncle and cousin.

When Master Duan was put in a sack and thrown in front of them, Changsun Wuji was amazed at Wu Huaiyu's efficiency.

In just one day, Wu Huaiyu captured him.

Huaiyu gave Changsun Wuji a gold carved pillow letter, which contained the belt of seven treasures given by Li Shimin.

Looking at the lost and recovered belt of seven treasures, Changsun Wuji was very excited.

The sack was opened, Master Duan was stuffed with rags, he was not half as handsome as a Chang'an bandit commander, begging for mercy incessantly.

once,

Master Duan followed the Chai family brothers, and he was considered acquainted with Changsun Wuji, and even Li Shimin knew him quite well before, but he crossed the line this time.

Zhang Wenjin said bluntly, "I picked all his tendons and tendons, then broke his back, cut off his tongue and poked his eyes, deafened his ears, and threw him to the suburbs to fend for himself."

This brother-in-law of the emperor is very ruthless.

Wu Huaiyu met him several times in the East Palace, and knew some rumors about Zhang Wenjin. This guy was capable of literary and martial arts. He was a county magistrate in the Sui Dynasty, and a county magistrate. The cavalry general then moved to the left guard Zhonglang general, and then the deputy general of the Canqi army,
Afterwards, he joined Qin Wangfu and became the third chief of the left. He was known as the brave champion of the three armies.

But it is said that this one is more ruthless.

Look at what he said, it's as easy as talking about eating lobsters, cutting shrimp heads and picking shrimp threads.

Changsun Wuji tore off the rag from Master Duan's mouth.

"Master Duan, do you have any last words to confess?"

"Uncle Guo, please spare my dog's life."

"Why didn't you think about today when you showed your knife with me?"

"Wuyi, pull his tongue out." Changsun Wuji snorted coldly.

The eldest grandson Lao Wu immediately took out a needle awl from his belt, pierced Duan Shizi's tongue and pulled it out, and Changsun Wuji pulled out an exquisite gem-studded knife from his gold jade belt,

Duan Shizi struggled, but Zhang Wenjin held him tightly and couldn't move.

Seeing the knife slowly approaching, Master Duan's eyes were filled with despair.

Wu Huaiyu stood aside and watched the lynching scene, but did not stop it.

There should have been a public trial and conviction, but Sun Wuji definitely refused to do so. After all, it would be embarrassing to spread the word, and the theft of the emperor's gifts is not a big or small crime.

Of course, Mr. Duan is not innocent, this kind of person deserves to die.

There is no need to talk about legal justice with him, he is not worthy.

With the screams, Master Duan's tongue was cut off by Changsun Wuji's iron-like sword. He threw the tongue aside, whistled, and suddenly a black dog rushed out and swallowed the tongue .

The eldest grandson Wuji and the others did not spare Master Duan lightly,

Cut off the tongue, poke the eyes, pierc the ears, even cut off the nose, cut off the scalp, pick out the tendons and tendons of the hands and feet, break the limbs and backbone,
Wu Huaiyu believed that if it wasn't for their lack of skinning skills, these three people would really have skinned Master Duan.

Changsun Wuji's craftsmanship is average.

After a while, Master Duan was out of breath. He planned to throw him in the suburbs, but he was already dead after a while.

"Let someone throw the mass graves."

Changsun Wuji was a little out of breath, even a little disappointed.

It's like crushing a bedbug, insignificant, but disgusting on the soles of your shoes.

Go back to the hall, wash your face and wipe your hands,
Make tea around the stove.

The snow fell again and again, and a layer of white quickly formed on the ground.

Changsun Wuji was very grateful for Wu Huaiyu's help. In order to express his gratitude, Changsun Wuji proposed to marry the two families.

The eldest grandson Wuji had many sons and daughters, and he offered to marry his seventh daughter to Wu Huaiyu's second son, Wu Chengye.

Wu Chengye's mother is Gao Hui'an, his father was the leader of the uprising at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and he once claimed to be the king of Ji, and his sister is Gao Huitong, the emperor's swordsman.

It is also a branch of the Bohai Gao family.

The eldest grandson Wuji's mother was born in the Gao family in Bohai, and when they were kicked out of the house by the eldest grandson Anye, they were brought up with the help of their uncle Gao Shilian.

Changsun Qiniang is the daughter of Changsun Wuji's concubine and concubine. Her mother is from the mighty Zhang family, and she is Zhang Wenjin's half-sister.

Zhang Wenjin married Changsun Wuji's half-sister, and later Changsun Wuji took Zhang Wenjin's concubine sister as his concubine, and became more intimate.

Now he proposed that the eldest grandson marry the Wu family, which actually also attracted the Zhang family of Wuwei, and the three families got married.

"Thanks to the eldest grandson for his love."

Wu Huaiyu didn't refuse, and there was no reason for him to refuse.

Such a famous family as the Changsun family actually pays much attention to marriage. For example, Changsun Wuji has four sisters and five brothers. His three sisters are all half-brothers, and they married into the Taiyuan Wang family, the Hedong Liu family, and the Hedong Liu family respectively. There are also the three famous families of the Zhang family in Wuwei, and the sister of the same mother married into the Li family of Longxi, and now she is the queen of the Tang Dynasty.

The four sat there, all satisfied with the marriage.

Sun Wuji, the eldest son of Zhao Guogong, the third division of Kaifu Yitong, Wu Huaiyu, the Duke of Yi Guo, the doctor of Jin Ziguanglu, Zhang Wenjin, the general of Yunhui, the Duke of Hebei County, and Sun Wuyi, the eldest son of Pixian County, the general of Yunhui.

The eldest grandson Wuji's seventh daughter betrothed to Wu Huaiyu's second son, and the eldest grandson Wuyi expressed that he would marry his eighth daughter in marriage according to the tradition of a famous family.

And Zhang Wenjin is the eldest grandson Qiniang's uncle.

The relationship between the three families quickly drew closer.

The marriages of these famous nobles are very intertwined. For example, Zhang Wenjin's grandmother is Li Yuan's aunt, and Zhang Wenjin and Li Shimin are distant cousins, but they married the eldest Sun Sheng's daughter together and became brother-in-law. His uncle Dou Kang.

Zhang Wenjin's mother is Li Shimin's aunt.

Kiss more kiss, more kiss.

For another example, Changsun Wuji had a half-sister who married Wang Shao of the Taiyuan Wang family, and Li Shimin had an aunt who also married the Taiyuan Wang family.

Although this kind of marriage between famous nobles is common, it is actually very particular, and its effect is also very remarkable.

For example, Li Yuan was able to rise up late among the heroes at the end of the Sui Dynasty, but he was able to quickly enter the pass and wipe out the heroes in one fell swoop. It was related to the many relatives of the Li family. Shi, Zheng Shi, Changsun Shi, etc.,

Li Yuan led his troops into Guanzhong, and was greeted by countless nobles from famous families along the way, even such big men as Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, Yuwen Shiji, Yang Gongren, etc., all came to join him.

A hero from a small landlord background like Dou Jiande captured the local officials of the Sui Dynasty, and they would rather die than surrender.But Wang Shichong, who was born as an adopted son of a barbarian, had insufficient foundation. After he occupied Luoyang, countless capable ministers and generals all abandoned him one after another, and ran to vote for Li Yuan.

Li Mi was also born in the nobles of Guanlong, and with this status, he used his identity as a white wolf to seize the foundation of Li Zhairang in Wagang and served as the leader of the Central Plains Rebel Army.

Another example is Xiao Xian in Nanliang, because he was the royal family of the Liang Dynasty, he was actively supported by the heroes of Jianghan at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and quickly occupied the southeast half of the sky.

The background of the Wu family is far inferior to that of the Changsun family, especially Wu Huaiyu, who has not produced a fifth-rank in the last four generations, and even in the four generations, only his father was a small military officer. It takes five generations to have the county Duke Sanjue .

In fact, such a family is not even considered as a poor family, but only those who have held official positions for generations in the samurai clan are considered as a poor family.

Now he has to become the duke of the state, but there is still a long way to go if he wants to become a high-ranking person. The eldest grandson Wuji is willing to marry his concubine daughter to his son. In addition, the samurai family and the samurai brothers are doing well.

Under the witness of Zhang Wenjin, Changsun Wuji and Wu Huaiyu wrote a marriage letter, and Changsun Wuyi also signed it. The seventh daughter of Changsun Wuji betrothed to Wu Huaiyu's second son, and the eighth daughter of Changsun Wuyi will marry in the future.

Quadruplicate, one copy for each person, kept separately.

Putting away the engagement letter, the eldest grandson Wuji, who was as fat as a bear, embraced Wu Huaiyu enthusiastically, and laughed and called his father-in-law.

Wu Huaiyu now has three sons and two daughters, and a few more are in the womb. Now the eldest son, Chengsi, is married at the fingertips of the emperor.

Huailiang, the third half-brother, was engaged to the female scholar Wang Xue of the Hedong Wang family, and the fourth younger sister, who was half-brother, was engaged to the second son of Wei Zheng.

If you add that the eldest sister married Ma Zhou, the eldest brother married Cheng Yaojin's daughter, and he married Fan Xing's daughter, the marriage of the Wu family would be quite fierce.
