A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 405 Student Li Tai
"Wei Gong has a look."

Huaiyu handed Wei Zheng a bronze mirror, Wei Zheng took the mirror and looked at it carefully, his face was swollen badly, but the bridge of his nose was no longer crooked, it was straight.

Seeing from the side, Mrs. Pei's heart ached, even the New Year's Eve couldn't help cursing Yuchi Jingde.

"Take down the statue of Yuchi on the gate, and never hang that black slave again. This kind of person is also worthy of being a door god, god damn it."

Made Mrs. Pei shed tears of distress.

Wei Zheng also sighed in pain, what a disaster.

The majestic prime minister, at the New Year's Eve palace banquet, had the bridge of his nose broken by a martial artist. It was an anecdote all over the world, but Yu Chigong, who committed such a serious crime, ended up losing his title and dismissing his position as a citizen, and reflecting on himself at home.

Wei Zheng had never been so aggrieved before.

"Get me pen and ink, I want to write an impeachment memorial." Wei Zheng couldn't help but get angry.

Usually, his tongue is like a sword, and his pen and paper are like a knife. If he encounters something wrong, he will definitely advise and impeach him. Today, he has suffered this crime and humiliation, so he can let it go.

"Wei Gong, you should rest at home and recuperate. Don't get angry and worry about it, so as not to affect your recovery."

"Erlang, why do you think there is such an arrogant and domineering person like Yuchi in this world? Why does Your Majesty still want to cover this kind of person? Wouldn't it be even more lawless to support generals?"

Wu Huaiyu picked up a pen and prescribed some medicines for Wei Zheng to treat and recuperate him.

In fact, if someone like Yu Chigong was placed under the hands of other dynasties, especially Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang, he would have died a hundred times earlier.

But Li Shimin is a very nostalgic emperor, especially now that he has just ascended the throne, he is more tolerant of those old and trusted officials, just like Qiu Xinggong, that kid has done a lot of bad things, his brother Qiu Xingze has also fought for merit in the palace, Just a few words of reprimand, and a short relegation will be enough.

Gao Shilian secretly withheld the secret performance presented to the emperor, and even watched it privately. This is also a capital offense, and it is only demoted.

In fact, from the perspective of a courtier, especially a hero, I still like such an emperor, and no one wants their emperor to be Liu Bang or Zhu Yuanzhang.

Li Yuan and Li Shimin are famous for their lenient treatment of heroes, so everyone is naturally willing to follow them.

New Year's Eve, originally happy.

It turned out to be really unlucky to encounter such an event.

"Master, the son of Yuchi's family is here, and he said that he was ordered by his father to accompany him for his crimes."

Yuchi Baolin, Yuchi Baoqi, and Yuchi Baohuan brothers came to apologize, and brought several large carts of money and silk gifts. Yuchi Gong felt very uncomfortable because of the inferior seats in the hall last night, and then drank the pot on his own Alcohol, that is shochu, very strong.

This guy got drunk, went crazy with the help of wine, and made a big fuss in the Golden Palace.

I was dragged to the prison and hanged for a night last night.
Sober up today and let me go home,

Only then did Yu Chigong regret it, the duke of this country was also taken away, the real seals of [-] households were also taken away, even the post of governor of Xiangzhou was taken away, and he was even expelled from the country as a citizen.

Now I know that I am afraid, and I know that I regret it.

But it's too late,

But what should be remedied has to be remedied. While picking up a pen, he wrote an indemnity letter to the emperor in person, and at the same time asked his son to send gifts to make amends.

Lao Hei is very rich, and he is generous in showing his sincerity.

He directly sent thousands of dollars worth of money, gold and silver to make amends. He even knew that Wei Zheng liked books, so he specially took a thousand volumes of those books that Yuanji had collected in the mansion and gave them to Wei Zheng as an apology. Those were all worth a thousand dollars.

The third brother Yuchi Baoqi was also very sincere, and knelt down at the gate of Wei Zheng's mansion when he came.

"I don't see it, and I don't care about those things in his house. Let him go back and forth."

Wei Zheng is in a very bad mood now, originally Wei Zheng is not a very generous person.

Having the bridge of his nose broken by others, the prime minister loses all face. From now on, people will be ridiculed all the time in the court, and in the future, when he insults the emperor, it will lose a little bit of power.

"Wei Xiang, I think that Yu Chigong was really wrong about this matter, but he did it after he was drunk, and it wasn't entirely his intention, and he also hurt Wei Gong by mistake, not for Wei Gong.

Your prime minister is capable of boating, so don't worry too much about him, he can't go out now, let the third son come to make an apology, you just accept the apology, accept the apology, and let this matter pass like this, after all, that black charcoal is also big Tang Gongchen, "

Wei Zheng was very annoyed.

"Besides, Wei Gong suffered such a big blow, and the bridge of his nose was broken, so he can't suffer in vain, can he? It's not too much to charge for some soup and medicine.

If Duke Wei didn't accept it, wouldn't that mean appeasing him?Duke Wei accepted these money and silk books as a matter of course.

It is also a good deed to take out some to buy food and give porridge to the refugee camp, or to send pens and food to some orphans, widows, disabled, old and weak in Chang'an.

Of course, when the young lady in the prime minister's mansion gets married in the future, she will also have to buy a dowry, and there are many places to spend money. "

Having said that, although Wei Zheng still said no, he didn't insist so much anymore. Mrs. Pei felt that the money should be collected, or else the suffering of a broken nose would be in vain.

"Yes, he has to pay the price," Huaiyu successfully persuaded the two to accept the large sum of compensation, and then asked Wei Zheng to ask the three Yuchi brothers to come in for a meeting and accept their apology in person.

Yuchi Baolin was a little embarrassed when she saw Huaiyu. He was a colleague with Huaiyu in the Shenji Camp before, but now he is still only a sixth rank, Wu Huaiyu is now above his father.

And today I have to apologize to Wu Huaiyu.

"Forget it, you don't have to go to my house to apologize. It's the same if you say it here. I also know that your father messed up after being drunk, so I won't pursue it."

Said not to pursue it, but Wu Huaiyu was not polite about the compensation that Yuchi's family gave him.

Yu Chigong's compensation to Wu Huaiyu was ten slaves and ten fine horses, which together were worth several hundred guan.

Wu Huaiyu accepted it with a smile.

Just like he accepted the apology from Chai Shao, Qiu He, and Du Jingtong before, it was nothing to be polite, even though he had nothing to lose last night, Yu Chigong didn't touch him, but let him lock his arms and beat him He punched him twice, but at a palace banquet, or a special holiday palace banquet like New Year's Eve, it is extremely disrespectful to dare to treat him like that.

He must be made to pay the price, otherwise others would think that Wu Huaiyu is dead and anyone can bully him.

If you don't let Yuchi Gong pay some price today, then tomorrow Wei Du and Cui Zheng may get the wrong signal, and you will have to shoot back and forth again.

"When my father is able to go out, he will definitely come to apologize in person."

Wu Huaiyu waved his hand and told them to go back. Although the three Yuchi brothers were about the same age as him, they were no longer in the same class.

I hope Yuchi Gong will learn a lesson this time, otherwise he is really hopeless.

After comforting Wei Zheng a few words and telling him to rest at home, Huaiyu went out to go home.

It's the first day of the first lunar month, and I'm actually busy.

He got up before dawn, went to Zhengdan Grand Court Meeting first, worked hard for a long time, and came back to comfort Wei Zheng, and even visited Li Daozong at Rencheng Prince's Mansion before coming to Wei's house.

At any rate, they met once in Lingzhou before, and they even gave him a few big copper seas, which gave him a lot of money-making business.

I gave Li Daozong a re-examination. Although his left eye was saved, his vision will be severely damaged in the future. Half of his vision will not be preserved, and he will even have many problems such as frequent tears. A little skin trauma, but the damage to the eyeball is irreversible.

Li Daozong, who has always been good-tempered, was very angry, but the emperor had already dealt with it, and he couldn't help it.

But this girder is completely closed,
Among the virtuous kings recognized in the court, there are only two who can make Li Daozong an enemy, the eldest grandson Wuji, and Yu Chigong.

When changing his dressing, Li Daozong kept muttering that it must be Changsun Wuji who ordered Yu Chigong to deliberately kill him, or blind him in one eye.

Huaiyu was a little embarrassed to hear that, after all, Changsun Wuji was married to his son and daughter, and both of them married Qiu Xinggong's daughter as concubine and brother-in-law.

The three Yuchi brothers went to Rencheng Prince's Mansion to make an apology, but were directly beaten out by the guards of the Palace with sticks, and the apology was confiscated. Although Li Daozong was rich, he was also very good at collecting money, no less than Yuchi's old black family.

This matter is endless, and it cannot be solved with a little money.

doorstep.

Pang Xiaotai, who claimed to be a running dog, had been waiting for him a long time ago, and when he saw Huaiyu, he came to see him.

"Why don't you sit in the mansion?"

"Knowing that Duke Yi hasn't returned yet, I'll wait here."

On the first day of the new year, there are many people paying New Year's greetings.

The students accepted by Wu Huaiyu came very early, brothers Xu Ang and Xu Jing, Shang Guanyi of Li Yifu, Pei Xingjian, Master Xu Yu, and Hao Chujun all came early to pay New Year's greetings.

The students of Huaiyu are actually quite interesting. Needless to say, Xu Ang and Xu Jing, Xu Jingzong's son, Pei's request to let his son be a teacher, is mainly because of Wu Huaiyu's power and reputation, and Wu Huaiyu is not easy to refuse, after all Old Xu is also a good friend elsewhere.

As for Li Yifu and Shangguanyi, let alone Li Yifu and Shangguanyi, one is his secret agent, and the other impresses him with a smile. Their apprenticeship must also be because of Wu Huaiyu's current power and connections, fame, etc., to pave the way for their official career. Wu Huaiyu accepted them all. It is because they are young and talented, and secondly, they also know that they have been prime ministers in history. This is a dual choice, and accepting a student of the future prime minister is also a good relationship.

As for Pei Xingjian, it was Qin Qiongcheng who begged for money, and the posthumous son of their old boss Pei Renji had to be taken care of.

Master Xu Yu and He Chujun are quite special, both of them are from Anlu, which is Fan Xuanfu's hometown, and they even have a story with Fan's family.

Master Xu Yu is the youngest son of Li Yuan's old classmate Xu Shao, and He Chujun is Xu Shao's grandson. What's more interesting is that the Anlu Xu family is a branch of the Xu family in Gaoyang, and they are also of the same family as Xu Jingzong.

In the early years of the Sui Dynasty, before Fan Fang was convicted and demoted to slavery,
There are two famous families in Anlu, the Xu family is married to the Fan family, and Xu Shao ordered Fan Xuanfu, Fan Fang's granddaughter, for one of his grandsons, but later Fan Fang was convicted and made a slave, and Xu Shao's grandson also died of illness.

When Xu Shao led the land back to the Tang Dynasty and became the Duke of the county, Fan Fang and his father rebelled from the slaves of the Li family and the Conglong. Then get engaged to Fan Xuanfu.

Who knew that Mr. Hao drowned and died, and coincidentally, Xu Shao also died of illness soon in the army, and even Mr. Hao’s father, Hao Xianggui, died young, and then Fan Fang was involved in a rebellion case and was killed. , Fan Xing was also deprived of his title and his nationality as a matter of the people.

Therefore, Fan Xuanfu has since been rumored to be Kefu's life.

Master Xu Yu and He Chujun belong to the relationship between uncle and nephew. Master Xu Yu's nephew was once engaged to Fan Xuanfu, and He Chujun's elder brother was also engaged to Fan Xuanfu, but they both died young, and they were said to be dead. up.

The Xu family and the Hao family are well-known local families in Anlu, but after the death of Xu Shao and Hao Xianggui, they are not as good as before, but the Fan family has survived several disasters and become more prosperous.

Even Fan Xuanfu, who was rumored to have killed his third fiancée, is now happily married and wealthy.

Both the Xu and Hao families wanted to revive their family. They found Fan Xing, Li Jing, and Li Hongjie. These are the old stories of the two families. Xu Shao's old subordinate also took Xu Shao's daughter as a concubine, which is also considered half of Xu's family.

Not to mention Li Jing, Li Yuan asked Xu Shao to kill Li Jing when the Southern Expedition was not effective. It was Li Hongjie who asked Xu Shao to intercede.

Xu and Hao's family sent two very talented people in the family to be students under Huaiyu's family. They were more interested in his political resources and reputation. After all, He Chujun is actually 20 years old. A bit older, but his uncle Xu Yushi is ten years younger than him.

Several families came to ask each other, but Wu Huaiyu couldn't refuse. After asking Fan Xuanfu, she felt that she owed these two families in the past. It is a little compensation for the two.

Wu Huaiyu got to know them carefully later, and also met these two people. They were indeed quite talented.

Then he remembered that these two people, like Li Yifu and Shangguanyi, also became prime ministers later.

Master Xu Yu's granddaughter is also Li Bai's wife. It is said that Li Bai married into the Xu family in Anlu and received a lot of support from the Xu family.

Even Pei Xingjian, who is only nine years old now, is actually very famous in history. He has both civil and military skills. He learned the art of war from Su Dingfang. The official worshiped the prime minister, but he was also promoted to be the minister of the Ministry of Rites and the general of the right guard.

Now Pei Xingjian has become Huaiyu's disciple, studying literature and martial arts.

Among these seven students are the two sons of the future prime minister Xu Jingzong, who will not achieve much in the future. Of course, if Xu Jingzong hadn't competed with his eldest son for a woman and insisted on reporting his son to Lingnan, in fact Xu Ang is also very capable. As a prince, if he had the support of Xu Jingzong, there would be a great chance of paying homage to him in the future. It can only be said that Xu Jingzong and his father are too wonderful.

"Happy New Year, teacher."

Wu Huaiyu gave each of these seven students ten lucky money.

Pang Xiaotai stood next to Wu Huaiyu like an idiot, and to the seven Yi Guogong disciples, he was very flattering and gave each of them a Hepu pearl. Although it was not a big pearl, it was worth two gold.

"Ah Lang, the crown prince sent someone to pay New Year's greetings."

Chengqian can also be regarded as Wu Huaiyu's student. He was in the East Palace today to receive an audience from the officials of the East Palace. He didn't have time to come, but he also sent someone to give New Year greetings to his favorite Teacher Wu.

After a while, Wei Wang Li Tai came to pay New Year's greetings in person.

When the little fat man came in, he met Huaiyu as a student, called out to the teacher, and gave him an exquisite gift, which was very rich.

Strictly speaking, Fatty is not a student of Huaiyu, because Fatty is not studying in Chongxian Hall, he is studying in Hongwen Hall, and Wu Huaiyu is only a bachelor of Chongwen Hall.

But the little fat man insisted that Huaiyu was a teacher on the grounds that he had studied with the crown prince in the Chongxian Hall for a period of time and listened to Huaiyu's teachings, and that he was a teacher for a day and a teacher for life. , so that Xu Ang and other students who have the name of Huaiyu's disciples are a little ashamed.

Huaiyu didn't know who was teaching him around the little fat man, but at least this little fat man was very talented and good at socializing.

At such a young age, he hasn't even opened the mansion yet, so he came to pay New Year's greetings to the teacher, so he can't complain about it, right?

It is said that he makes friends with ministers, he is so big, besides, is it not natural for him to pay New Year's greetings to his teacher?

But the little fat man is indeed too young. Although he is a bit old-fashioned, everyone can see that little thoughtfulness. Wu Huaiyu is young but has a high position and authority.

You can't say that this kid is only seven or eight years old and has the ambition to fight for the heirloom, but it is indeed extraordinary.

In short, the little fat man is very scheming.

But since they are all here, they can't drive people away.

Nine students, one crown prince and one king of Wei, there will be four chancellors in the future, and the parents of the students will also have a chancellor. This lineup of students is a bit luxurious.

Chatting with Little Fatty and the others, Little Fatty knew him very well, and he got acquainted with the seven brothers from the same sect very quickly. Take the time to say a few words to him, and take care of everything.

While talking, the steward reported that Brother Laiheng came to pay New Year's greetings to Brother Yoshi.

Well, there are two future prime ministers, these two brothers will also worship the prime minister in the future, one is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, the other is the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the other is the third rank of the Zhongshu School, but these two brothers have firmly opposed the abolition of the king in history. Wu, and Wu Zetian were deadly enemies, so they were both relegated later, and Laiji was relegated to the governor of Tingzhou in the Western Regions, and finally died in Xizhou.

But now, my son of the Wu family has become a righteous brother because he and his brother worshiped Qin Qiong as a righteous father. Brother Laiji Laiheng has a very good relationship with the Wu family, and even knows the warrior Xun well.

The two brothers also met Wu Erniang more than once, and Wu Erniang called them uncles, and the two brothers often hugged Wu Erniang on their laps,
This is completely wrong with the history that the Lai family brothers resolutely opposed the Wu family, and then the Wu family severely suppressed the two brothers.

But now, although it feels that the general history has not changed much, it seems that there are some differences in some subtleties.

Butterfly wings flap slowly,

The wind is rising.

Little fat Li Tai is very polite to everyone. He knows that the Laiji brothers were born as Jinshi. Now that they are young, they have quickly become the sixth grade. Secretary Lang, direct bachelor of Hongwenguan,
Speaking of which, Lai Heng is also the serious teacher of Little Fatty.

The official positions of the two brothers are very important. Since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, they have generally been the only way for the children of famous gentry to pass through their official careers.

Li Tai was also extra polite to the two of them.

Wu Huaiyu is also quite strange. Since Cheng Qian was so unbearable later in history, the little fat man was so favored and capable, and there were so many supporters, how did Li Zhi take advantage of it in the end?

The reason Li Shimin gave was that he didn't want the descendants of the Li family to think that the position of prince could be managed, but now Wu Huaiyu felt that it was more likely that the little fat man had somehow failed to win the support of the most important people, such as his own Uncle and eldest grandson Wuji,
Why this happened, he still doesn't know.
