Chapter 344 The remnants of the Wang family leave Luoyang

Xie Yi and Quan Wanji met, and were in a small pavilion by Daming Lake. Taking advantage of the sunshine and the weather was not particularly cold, drinking tea by the lake and basking in the sun is a very good choice. ⊙,

This move also has the meaning of openness and integrity. This is Quan Wanji's meaning. Perhaps the Chief of the Quan also discovered that His Highness King Qi was dissatisfied with him and stared at his actions in secret. Quan Wanji felt that he was loyal and could be seen by heaven and earth, and had no desire to hide it at all.

Since Quan Wanji is this idea, Xie Yi naturally would not object. He was not here to do something shameful, he was just chatting with Quan Changshi.

As the chief of the King of Jin, meeting with his colleagues, there is nothing wrong with it. Of course, this move will inevitably arouse suspicion of the King of Qi. Xie Yi is not worried about this, but he does not want to overstimulate the King of Qi for the time being to avoid unnecessary trouble.

In history, King Li You of Qi seemed to have rebelled in the 17th year of Zhenguan, but now it is only the end of the 15th year of Zhenguan, and the time deviation is a bit large. This is why Xie Yi is a little confused and it is difficult to predict how things will develop.

For the first time, Xie Yi's ability to develop his own ability to predict the future weakens, and even gradually disappears. With the continuous development of the butterfly effect, the deviation of the historical trajectory has become increasingly large, so large that it is difficult to grasp and difficult to follow.

The reason why I met Quan Wanji today is mainly to understand how big the conflict between Quan Changshi and King Li You of Qi is, or how intensified it.

In the original history, the important reason for the rebellion of King Li You of Qi was to fall out with Quan Wanji, so when the timeline lost its reference significance, these signs became crucial.

After chatting by the lake for a while, the meeting ended. Perhaps in the eyes of some people, such conversations are a bit confined to the situation and a bit too simple.

But in Xie Yi's opinion, this should be the case. As an "instructor minister", some words cannot be told to others casually. They have something to hide from their father-in-law Xu Xiaode, and even more so to Quan Wanji.

Fortunately, during this meeting, I have already learned all the information I should know, which is enough.

The contradiction has not yet intensified. In Quan Wanji's eyes, King Qi Li You is just a child who has not grown up, and is a little extreme and disobedient. His strategy is still to teach and guide him step by step, but the effect seems to be minimal, especially the way of education is too direct.

Perhaps Li Shimin was forced to accept the direct advice and gave the court officials a wrong signal. He believed that this was the way to be a minister, and he hoped that he would face a wise monarch.

Zhang Xuansu, Kong Yingda and Yu Zhining taught Li Chengqian in the East Palace, and Quan Wanji treated Li You in the Qi Palace. Unfortunately, Li Chengqian and Li You did not inherit the genes of Li Shimin's humbly accepting advice, nor did his father's broad mind.

Having never studied educational psychology, coupled with the habits he developed over the years, Zhang Xuansu, Quan Wanji and others did not realize their mistakes at all. Instead, they made a point of direct advice, hoping that the prince would reflect on himself in time and embark on the right path.

In Xie Yi's opinion, to a certain extent, these tutors are too selfish. Perhaps what they value most is to achieve their reputation rather than how to teach a prince well. They don't seem to have any concepts of teaching according to their aptitude and proper methods, so that the situation will only get worse and worse.

Quan Wanji is in this state in the Qi Palace now. When the conflict with King Li You of Qi is irreconcilable one day, he will turn against each other. At that time, Li You will be almost done to rebel.

At the current pace, this day is not far away.

There was a steady stream of news coming from Yebei. Recently, some people entered the Qi Palace again. It seemed that they were just a few warriors. They were taken out by Li You to ride horses and were just the closest guards.

But in fact, this is not the case. The situation is much more serious than this. Yebei collected a lot of information. Kan Ling also sent a lot of information from Chang'an. As well as the news sent by Li Shimin, Xie Yi gradually discovered some incredible things.

According to Kan Ling, these people may be similar to those of themselves, Xiao Yuexian, and they are all rebellious against the king at the end of the Sui Dynasty. As for who they were, Kan Ling was not sure, because before that, they were all in a well and water that did not interfere with the river. Sometimes they cooperated with each other tacitly, but did not ask about the other party’s where they came from.

Kan Ling didn't know, but Li Shimin knew that when a secret document was sent from Chang'an, Xie Yi could finally be sure that the most powerful person in this era was always the royal family. After holding the highest power in the world and mobilizing the most resources, it became easy for the court to master any information.

Even if it is something very secret, even if there is no accurate answer, it will never be ignorant. The memorials from Chang'an are clearly written. This group of people may be related to Luoyang and the people named Wang, and they will ask themselves to verify it.

Luoyang, surnamed Wang, was a remnant of the former Sui Dynasty.

The overlap of these keywords is about to emerge. Who else is besides Wang Shichong?

In the former Sui Dynasty, Wang Shichong occupied Luoyang and supported Emperor Yang Guang of Sui Yang as Emperor Tai's brother. He held a puppet and took control of Luoyang's power.

Because of the orthodox emperor grandson in hand and the foundation of the Tongdu Dayi such as Luoyang, which is strong in the city and deep in the pond, Wang Shichong once had a very powerful force. He occupied a large area of ​​land in the Central Plains, and finally he once called himself emperor and his country was called Zheng.

However, in the era of heroes competing for the sake of the separatist side, the separatist side could be the princes, but whether it could last for a long time depends on the development of the situation. When Li Yuan occupied Guanzhong with the support of the Guanlong nobles and established the Tang Dynasty, he naturally turned his attention to the world outside Tongguan.

When the Tang army left Tongguan, the first thing they faced was Wang Shichong from Luoyang. As long as they defeated Wang Shichong and captured Luoyang, the great cause of Tang to unify the world would be half successful. And the one who led the Tang army at that time was not someone else, but King Li Shimin of Qin.

However, Luoyang's city is tall and its defense is strong, so it is not easy to conquer it. The Tang army besieged Luoyang for several months and never broke the city. During this period, Li Yuan in Chang'an was shaken several times and wanted to withdraw his troops. However, Li Shimin insisted that Luoyang was just an isolated city. If he did not take the opportunity to capture it, it would be difficult to make plans in the future. Did the Tang Dynasty confront the east like the Northern Zhou Dynasty in the past?

At the same time, Feng Deyi, a military officer, went to Chang'an to meet Li Yuan to explain the current situation and strive for support. In the end, he besieged to the point where the city of Luoyang was in short supply, grain prices soared, and almost collapsed.

At that time, Wang Shichong himself was powerless to fight back against the Tang army, but put all his hopes on Dou Jiande, hoping that this friend could come to rescue him in time.

Dou Jiande was trying his best at the time, hoping that Li Shimin and Wang Shichong would fight to the death first, and he would attack himself when both sides were defeated. Then he would reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Unfortunately, things went against my wishes. Just two days before Dou Jiande's army arrived, a defender of Hulao Pass, the most important pass around Luoyang, rebelled and cooperated with the Tang army to seize Hulao Pass.

Hulao Pass is a barrier around Luoyang. Since ancient times, military strategists have been fighting for, and if they cannot pass this place, they cannot reach the city of Luoyang. After Dou Jiande's army arrived, he could only sigh and watched the city of Luoyang break up, and the Tang army grew stronger. No one could stop the unification of the Tang Dynasty. Dou Jiande was also captured alive by Li Shimin under Hulao Pass.

As for Wang Shichong, he was taken to Chang'an. Li Yuan originally wanted to kill him, but because Li Shimin promised not to kill Wang Shichong first, Li Yuan couldn't embarrass his son who had just made a military achievements and agreed, and just exiled Wang Shichong to Sichuan.

However, when walking in Yongzhou, someone suddenly came to pass the imperial edict. Wang Shichong hurriedly came out to receive the imperial edict, but the person who sent the edict suddenly drew his sword and killed it. It was later confirmed that the person who killed people was Dugu Xiude. His father Dugu Ji was once a general under Wang Shichong. He once wanted to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, but Wang Shichong learned that he was killed.

Dugu Xiude's move was to avenge his father. At that time, Dugu Xiude must have received some punishment, but the degree of punishment was not very serious. It was a bit like punishing three drinks of wine. Anyway, his career continued to develop as usual.

So this matter is intriguing. Who wants Wang Shichong's life to come out, but no one dares to say anything more.

The nature of this matter is that Dugu Xiude avenges his father. There is no other explanation, that's all.

But the Wang family certainly would not think so. Wang Shichong's son Wang Xuanying and his brother Wang Shiwei and others intended to rebel during the exile, but they ended up hitting stones with eggs. They were all killed.

This is the argument to the outside world, but there seems to be an exception. According to the high-level confidential archives of the Tang Dynasty royal family, Wang Jundu, one of Wang Shichong's nephews, was not on the death list.

A hero's nephew, the famous old general in Luoyang City, did not die. Instead, the golden cicada escaped. What a terrible thing it should be?

Xie Yi thought to himself that the royal family must have been secretly pursuing Wang Jundu for many years, but unfortunately there has been no progress. There are signs that the ghosts and monsters in Qizhou are easy to be related to.

Wang Shichong occupied Luoyang for many years, and there were many remnants of the Central Plains generation, and they might have been taken over by Wang Jundu for himself. These people only have the only thing to take revenge in their hearts. I guess they are trying their best to take advantage of the opportunity, and they will take advantage of the opportunity to find ways to subvert the Tang Dynasty or cause trouble.

The special origin of King Li You of Qi and Yin Hongzhi is probably a chance to take advantage of Wang Jundu? Xie Yi even had a bold guess. In the original history, would Li You's reprimand be the result of Wang Jundu's trespassing behind the scenes?

There was no one caught or conclusive evidence, so it was hard to say. The message from Li Shimin only provided some information, and the final result still needs to be verified by yourself.

According to Chang'an information, a very important basis for determining Wang Jundu himself is his eyes. Wang Shichong is not from the Central Plains, and his ancestors come from the Western Regions. Even though he intermarried with the Han people, some obvious Western Regions characteristics of his family have not changed, such as the eyes of the Wang family are brown.

The Tang Dynasty was an open country. Nowadays, people from all countries and tribes all went in and out of the Tang Dynasty. It was impossible to find a person based on this feature. But if the place was reduced to Qizhou and there were many other reference factors, would it be easier?

Even though Li Shimin did not give it very clearly, Xie Yi knew that one of the important tasks he was in Qizhou was to find out Wang Jundu.

Another thing is that Li Shimin probably wanted to stop Wang Jundu from damaging Qizhou, especially infiltrating the Qi Palace.

But can this matter be stopped? Should it be stopped?

Xie Yi couldn't help but hesitate about this. The rebellion of King Li You of Qi was a landmark event. It was the reason why Li Chengqian's rebellion was implicated and Li Tai was driven out of Chang'an.

Without this fuse, will everything that follows still happen as usual? Will all your hopes and arrangements become flowers in the mirror and moon in the water?

At this time, Xie Yi must consider that it is difficult to have some selfish intentions in such a major matter that concerns his family and life. After all, now he is taking the family and his relationship with the Eastern Palace is extremely dissatisfied, which is a major issue that must be considered in the future.

What should we do?

Xie Yi didn't know that he didn't want to be entangled between morality and safety, so let it go!

Maybe I was thinking too much at all. The most important thing at the moment is to beware of any collusion between Wang Jundu and the Qi Palace. No matter what, I cannot be trapped in Qizhou.

There are still beautiful wife and beloved children waiting for me in Chang'an, and Xu Hui and his father-in-law Xu Xiaode in Qizhou City. In any case, we must first protect our own people's safety.

As for those who are around, they don’t have much to worry about. After all, Li You rebelled and did not jump up by himself. At most, he was just a bystander, watching things happen silently without stopping them.

To a large extent, I just took advantage of the situation. After all, Emperor Gaozong of Tang was Li Zhi. Is there anything wrong with this? Why should I feel guilty?

Thinking of this, Xie Yi felt much more relaxed and subconsciously smiled.

Seeing this, Xu Hui asked with a smile: "Why is Xie Lang laughing?"

"I miss you, I remember you like a kitten last night." Xie Yi smiled and joked. Xu Hui was very clingy when sleeping at night, like a likable kitten, very funny.

Xu Hui was slightly shy and said softly: "I was timid when I was young. At first I was my mother hugged her to sleep, but later I was a wet nurse or even a maid. I haven't changed any of them for many years..."

"It's okay, no need to change it. Just stick to your husband in the future." Xie Yi reached out and shaved his hands gently on Xu Hui's nose, and smiled, "It would be even better if the clingy kitten took the initiative."

When Xu Hui heard this, her face turned red. Although she was already a married woman, she was still young after all, and the girl was shy and could not change for a while.

After a while, the sound of the mosquito was so small that it said, "It's getting late, I'm waiting for my husband to sleep..."

Xie Yi glanced at the sunset that had completely disappeared in the sky, the starlight was faintly visible, nodded slightly, and turned around and picked up Xu Hui with a princess hug.
