A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 404 The Nose Was Knocked Crooked
Standing condescendingly in front of Yu Chi, who was alone with the Black Iron Tower, and roaring loudly, it was indeed a bit scary and full of menace.

"Duke E, did you drink too much before the banquet started?"

Wu Huaiyu is not afraid of Yu Chigong.

Lao Hei did make great contributions in the Xuanwu Gate Palace Change. Afterwards, Li Shimin also said that he and Changsun Wuji were ranked first in meritorious service, but look at his current official title, Governor of Xiangzhou, changed from Wu Guogong to E Guogong , away from the center of Chang'an.

After the palace change, he was the general of Youwuhou and the prince Zuowei. The emperor not only rewarded him with [-] pieces of silk, but also rewarded Lao Hei with all the money of Qi Wang Yuanji, including the entire mansion.

At that time, Yuchi Gong was in the limelight, even completely overshadowing the reputation of Qin Qiong, Hou Junji and others.

But this guy is too conceited, he likes to expose other people's shortcomings, regardless of the occasion, even regardless of the identity of the other party, when he was in Beijing, he would hate whoever he saw, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, grandson Wuji, Gao Shilian, Yu Wenshi and so on These prime ministers,

It doesn't matter whether the other party is the old Prime Minister Wu De or an old colleague of the Qin Palace, he will not give half of the face.

Even from June of the ninth year of Wude to the beginning of the year when he was released as the governor of Xiangzhou, Yu Chigong fought for merit and a seat in the palace for more than half a year, rolling up his sleeves several times. Guys don't have long memories.

Originally, with Lao Hei's background and achievements, he had a good chance to be Minister of the Ministry of War, and even had the chance to worship Prime Minister. After all, Qin Qiong had been recuperating from illness before, Hou Junji and his seniority were too low, and Changsun Wuji and the others were civil servants.

He was too inflated, and in a short period of time, he offended everyone who could be offended in the court, and even scolded the prime minister for beating up the servant.

It was for his own good that Li Shimin asked him to go to Xiangzhou to be the governor.

But this guy actually fell ill again, this is not a small occasion palace banquet, this is New Year's Eve New Year's Eve palace banquet.

The position of Wu Huaiyu was mentioned by the emperor just now. If you scold Huaiyu like this now, where will the emperor be placed?

"Get up!" Yu Chigong was still confused.

Wu Huaiyu laughed and said, "Captain Yuchi is drunk, please go down to the bar first to wake up."

Seeing that he was not moving, Yuchi Gong stretched out his big hand to grab Wu Huaiyu's neck.

This is too much.

Wu Huaiyu turned his head to avoid it, and quickly stood up.

"Yuchi Gong, I'll help you go down to the bar to wake up."

"Bah, you deserve to call me by my first name." Yu Chigong stretched out his hand again after speaking.

Now Qin Qiong next to him couldn't stand it any longer, got up and strode over, grabbed Yu Chigong's arm, "Jing Dexiu, don't be presumptuous, this is Yuqian."

However, Yu Chigong's eyes were red, he didn't care about the crime, even Qin Qiong wanted to fight together, Huaiyu smelled very strong alcohol, this guy really drank a lot in advance.

He could even smell it, it seemed to be shochu.

Could it be that this guy accidentally mistook baijiu for Tang people's sake?

He also quickly dissuaded, "Father, don't fight here, let's grab him and drag him down."

"it is good."

On the other side, Yu Chigong went crazy, cursing and beating him, Wu Huaiyu and Qin Shubao couldn't restrain him for a while, he was indeed the number one thug under Li Shimin's command.

He has the ability to capture a horse with his bare hands, and Li Yuanji was once a relatively good master of a horse, but he had no choice but to attack Yu Chigong who was unarmed with a horse. Instead, he took the horse with a few tricks.

This guy is in his prime at this time, quite strong and able to fight.

Although they were all unarmed, Huaiyu and the others really couldn't stop them with three or two moves.

"enough!"

Wei Zheng got up and scolded, and stepped forward to grab Yu Chigong.

It's a pity that he underestimated the lawlessness of Old Hei. He offended all the prime ministers a year ago, not to mention the day when the Xuanwu Gate Palace changed. chaos.Moreover, this guy also killed Yuan Ji with his hands, and afterwards even lifted the heads of both Jian Jiancheng and Yuan Ji, scaring the palace soldiers at the Xuanwu Gate to collapse.

Anyone who is generally sane can't do these things.

Forcing the emperor, beheading the king of Qi, raising the crown prince and the head of the king of Qi to retreat from the enemy.

This is someone who didn't think about the future at all.

Just like who he met later.

When he ranted against the prime ministers before, Wei Zheng was still just the head of Prince Zhan's mansion, but now he dared to push him beyond his limits. Yuchi Gong threw his hand and punched Wei Zheng in the face, and the dignified prime minister Wei Zheng immediately His face was covered in blood as if a dyeing workshop had been opened.

At this time, Li Daozong, the king of Rencheng who was not far away, also hurried up to help stop him, but Yu Chigong, who had beaten Wei Zheng, punched King Rencheng in the face again.

This punch directly hit one eye, and Li Daozong fell to the ground with a scream. Not only was his brow bone cracked, and blood gushed out, but his eyeball turned blood red and was also injured.

"Father, don't be polite to him, beat him up." Seeing this, Wu Huaiyu knew that there was nothing he could do about it, so he decided to take it down first and then talk about it.

With a roar, Qin Qiong grabbed Yu Chigong's arm, and Wu Huaiyu immediately rushed to lock his other arm.

The two of them grabbed his arms, cut him behind his back with all his strength, and at this time Cheng Yaojin and Fan Xing also arrived, and they were not polite to this former official of the Qin Palace, kicking him hard and making him kneel He fell to the ground, and then pressed on him again, pinning him to the ground and not being able to move.

Cheng Yaojin also tore off Yu Chigong's belt and used it to bind Lao Hei's hands.

Qiu Xinggong and Qiu Xingjian brothers also ran over. They were relatively low-ranking, far away, and came late. When they arrived, they were also rude and just punched and kicked.

Old Hei was roaring and cursing drunkenly.

"It's nothing if there are too many people bullying the few people. If you have the ability to fight one-on-one, come on, one-on-one."

"My son from the Wu family, let go of grandpa if you have the ability, and fight with grandpa one-on-one, and retreat to the back if you don't have the ability, what right do you have to sit in front!"

This sudden turn of events didn't take much time.

It took only a short time for Yuchi Laohei to provoke him, and then he was beaten up by Qianfan, but it was still amazing.

Li Shimin was originally toasting with his elder brother, grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, and even planned to recite a poem to suit the occasion.

As a result, trouble suddenly broke out below.

When the emperor came over, the scene was ugly.

Prime Minister Wei Zheng's face was covered with blood, the bridge of his nose was broken, and his nose was crooked.Li Daozong, the king of Rencheng, was even more miserable, his left eye brow was opened wide, not only his face was bloody, even the floor in the hall was bleeding a lot, his left eye was also blood red.

"Your Majesty, I can't see anything in my left eye." Li Daozong complained to the emperor.

"Huaiyu," Li Shimin called to Wu Huaiyu, who was still locking Yu Chigong's arm, "you hurry up and show King Ren Cheng your eyes."

"Where is the Qianniu guard?" Li Shimin looked at Yu Chigong who was still struggling and clamoring on the ground, with a heartache on his face. This Yu Chigong was not a first-time offender, and he used to like to fight for merit, and even used his mouth and hands.

After going out for a year, there was no improvement at all, and it was so big when I came back.

disappoint others.

King Ren Cheng was even more angry and panicked.

He is still so young, if he is blinded in one eye, and people call him the one-eyed king in the future, then his mother will be so angry.

"Your Majesty, please make the decision for your younger brother!" Li Daozong was very angry, because this was not the first time he was beaten by Yuchi Gong. He was provoked and punched by Yuchi Gong at the banquet of the ninth year of Wude. The beating was not light, almost hurting the eye.

This time the incident was not caused by him, Wu Huaiyu was the one who provoked Yu Chigong, but when he came to break the fight, he was punched again, and it was his eyes again.

He seriously suspected that Yu Chigong did it on purpose, just to blind him.

"Prepare yourselves, take Yuchi Gong out of the lock immediately, and fork it out,"

"imprison!"

"Hang him up, pour some cold water on him, let him sober up!"

Li Shimin was so angry that he wanted to step forward and kick Yu Chigong a few times. At this time, Yu Chigong was full of alcohol and didn't know how serious the matter was. He even shouted to Li Shimin, "Your Majesty, what merits does Wu Huaiyu have to surpass my ministers?" , what qualifications does he have to sit in the front, but I have made great contributions to His Majesty, but I can only sit in the back?"

"To shut up!"

Li Shimin was furious.

Yu Chigong refused to shut up, and kept shouting.

"I have followed Your Majesty to fight in all directions. After many battles, all I have left on my body are traces of blades and arrows. Now that the world is stable, Your Majesty is going to banish me to Jianghan?"

He struggled to get up.

"Let him go." Li Shimin ordered coldly.

The generals let go of Yu Chigong, he got up, stood there, and immediately began to tear off the purple robe on his body, tearing off one by one, revealing the scars on his body.

It's really shocking.

Seeing these scars, Li Shimin's anger subsided a bit, and he sighed, "Put on your clothes, I have never doubted your credit, but you are not the only one who deserves the credit, and you can't just take credit for it, arrogant and conceited." big."

"Wu Huaiyu came to the front, it was my will. Before June of the ninth year of Wude, he did not have as much credit as you. But in the past two years, he has been conquest of Longyou, defending Chang'an, and offered advice and suggestions. After that, Ping Luoyi rebelled and the governor Lingwu Shuofang, to pacify Liang Shidu, to kill Wujunlang,
After returning to Beijing, he held several positions and offered good strategies many times.

Moreover, he is more humble than you, and he is still my son and daughter, so why not let him come forward? "

"What about you, how many practical things have you done in Xiangzhou in the past year? I heard that in Xiangyang, you either drank a lot, or often went hunting. You didn't care about the affairs of the governor's mansion. Are you competent as a governor?"

"I used to read Han Shu and found that Han Gaozu's heroes were rarely able to protect themselves. I often blamed Han Gaozu for being ruthless.

But you are important to me when I promote you, high-ranking officials and nobles, and rewards, but how do you behave?
Constantly violated the laws of the country without any scruples.

Only then did I realize that the killing of Han Xin and Peng Yue was not entirely Han Zugao's fault.

The prime ministers often advise me that the most important thing in governing the country is to reward and punish.Those who have merit will be rewarded, and those who have done wrong will be punished, but extra favors should not be given too much.

You should drink less, be more strict with yourself, and don't do things you regret later. "

"Take him down."

Li Shimin's face was dark, very scary.

Those words were addressed to Yu Chigong, but in fact, they were also addressed to all the ministers in the palace, and they were also intended as a warning to future generations. They were very clear, don’t think that meritorious deeds can lead to mischief, and it’s not like I won’t kill meritorious officials.

Wu Huaiyu helped Li Daozong check quickly, and then made a simple treatment.

"Your Majesty, King Ren Cheng is seriously injured, especially his left eye, which may become blind."

"We must keep King Ren Cheng's eyes, at all costs."

"I will do my best, but I am not sure."

"Give Wei Xiang some medical treatment." Li Shimin looked at Wei Zheng's appearance and said helplessly.

Wei Zheng was also miserable, with a broken bridge of the nose. Fortunately, it was not too difficult. It can be recovered, but it may not be 100% recovered, and the nose may not be so straight in the future.

Li Shimin asked Li Daozong and Wei Zheng to be helped down for treatment and recuperation.

"The party continues,"

"Play music, dance!"

Li Shimin returned to the throne with a blank face, and gave orders with a dark face.

The palace music was played again, but the atmosphere in the palace had changed drastically. The banquet lasted for a long time, but the atmosphere was always depressed.

At the end of the banquet, the emperor issued a decree.

"Destroy Yuchi Gong's official position and title, expel him as a citizen, hang him in prison for one night, and then order him to go home and reflect."

The result of this disposal seems to be beyond everyone's expectations. After all, although Yu Chigong has been too inflated for more than a year, the credit he has made is indeed too great. As long as he does not rebel, basically the emperor will always remember the old love of the credit. .

This time he went too far, was confiscated and dismissed, but there was no other penalty. Everyone even believed that this anti-high-ranking official at home would last for two or three years, maybe a year or a half, and he would probably come back again.

But this guy is really strong, who the hell is the first, and it only took more than a year to confuse himself with this virtue?

Look at Qin Qiong, even if he goes to the countryside to recuperate for a year, he can be the prime minister when he comes back.
As long as Yu Chigong is smarter, not to mention overtaking Qin Qiong, at least he must overshadow Hou Junji, Zhou Shaofan, Cheng Yaojin and others, right?
Not to mention that Wu Huaiyu is backward, and still use the palace to compete with Wu Huaiyu for a seat?

Sure enough, he was brave and foolish.

But today all this happened because of Wu Huaiyu, but there was nothing wrong with him, the emperor even comforted Wu Huaiyu later, he really deserves to be regarded as his own son by the emperor.
