Chapter 3 Follow-up of the parties

Wang Pu was dragged home by his elder brother Wang Gui, and he got angry. He overturned the tables, chairs and ornaments in the lobby. The servants did not dare to approach and asked Wang Gui to send him away. He was the only one who moved a chair and sat next to him and watched Wang Pu go crazy.

Finally, all those who could be overturned were overturned, and all those who could be smashed were smashed. Wang Pu almost used up his strength, sat on the ground, turned his head and did not look at Wang Gui, and sulked with his arms around.

Wang Gui is not surprised by such a childish behavior. This young brother, because he is too different from age to age, Wang Gui has always treated him as his son, but because the two are brothers, Wang Gui doesn't seem to discipline him like his son, so he developed Wang Pu's current character. Thinking of this, Wang Gui felt guilty.

After Wang Pu vented and his emotions stabilized, Wang Gui spoke, "You have to do everything you don't want you to do since you were a child. Why can't you listen to your elder brother? This Li Mu is very talented and has a sharp edge, which is very difficult to mess with. Even if I am, I dare not test it easily. When you answer the preface, you must think carefully and think carefully before you dare to speak. What you are doing today is really reckless!"

When Wang Pu heard that his elder brother was still criticizing him, he couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Brother, I remember you are not a person who is afraid of things. Even when facing Li Jicheng Yaojin and others, you can talk freely and not afraid. Why do you have such a cautious attitude to treat a younger generation? It's just that he blinded the Shengting and relied on His Majesty's favor and arrogant! What did I do wrong today? He has spoken rudely many times and repeatedly criticized the aristocratic families. As a child of the Wang family in Taiyuan, if I don't stand up and find this place, the aristocratic families will be completely lost!"

"Silly!" Wang Gui cursed: "You fool! You are self-righteous! If Li Mu was really just like you said, how could he live to this day? Your Majesty is a wise king of the world, with a wise eye to know talent. None of his gratitude to Li Mu was lucky to enter, that was his ability. Horseshoe, printing, and Zhenguan Plough, which one can do? Do you know that just like Zhenguan Plough, the aristocratic families in the world must hold him and coax him! What do you know?!"

Wang Pu was about to speak, but was interrupted by Wang Gui: "Besides, it would be fine if you mess with him, but why would you mention the wealthy people in Longxi... Do you know who he is talking about, so you dare to talk nonsense?"

"No matter who he is! Even the Li family in Longxi cannot regard my Taiyuan Wang family as a cow and horse!"

Wang Gui corrected: "They didn't say that the Wang family in Taiyuan was a cow and horse, but he only said that you were a cow and horse compared to the wealthy rich in Longxi."

Wang Pu stared at him: "Why bother to care about this word? Don't they all mean the same thing? Did he say that my younger brother is a cow and my older brother is not angry?"

"I'm not angry." To Wang Pu's surprise, he didn't expect Wang Gui to say this. He was stunned and opened his mouth and couldn't speak. Wang Gui continued: "When you use your good head, you can take out a thousand taels of gold and push the tall buildings to the Prince of Jiangxia in Chongrenfang. Who can be the person who said you are a cow and horse, and you are wronged?"

Wang Pu was stunned for a moment, murmured: "No, it's impossible!"

Wang Gui sighed helplessly: "I felt it was impossible at first, but if you knew how close Li Mu and the Supreme Emperor were, you would know that there was nothing impossible. Fortunately, I covered your mouth in time today, otherwise what would happen if you said it? Although the Supreme Emperor has abdicated, the influence in the court and the public is still there. Will you be troublesome to rectify you? Besides, can Your Majesty tolerate you? Although you are a child of the Wang family in Taiyuan, you must also know that the world belongs to Li Tang! The five surnames and seven hopes are united, and it is not enough to compete with the imperial power. What are you doing?"

As he said that, Wang Gui sighed again: "The family of aristocratic families have been the heart-wrenching of emperors for generations. All those who are emperors want to suppress the family and join the family. I was careful in the court, walking on thin ice, maintaining them in every way, for fear of giving them a handle. But you are good, go find trouble yourself. Can't you see that Your Majesty indulges Li Mu just wants to borrow his hand and knock on the family of aristocratic families. If you have a conflict with him, even if the reason is on your side, Your Majesty will not stand on your side and ask for trouble. Wouldn't it be stupid?"

Although Wang Pu was a playboy, he still had some knowledge in his family like the Wang family in Taiyuan. After hearing what Wang Gui said, he also understood the pros and cons and murmured: "Then, will there never be a chance to find this scene!"

"You are still thinking about finding a place. Today you asked him to pay 3,000 yuan. With that boy's temper, how could he give up with you!" Wang Gui thought for a while and said, "Forget it, you will resign from your post tomorrow and return to Taiyuan. Anyway, you can't teach anything in the Imperial College."

"I won't leave!" Wang Pu said with a blushing face: "I have lost my face once. If I leave in shame, wouldn't I admit that my Taiyuan Wang family is afraid of him. I, Wang Pu, can't afford to lose this person. Brother, I will never go back to Taiyuan. At worst, I just hide from him. Can he find the Imperial College?"

"You..." Wang Gui saw that his brothers were determined and that he was not his son, so he could not make up his mind to discipline him. He thought to himself that with the relationship between Li Mu and Kong Yingda, he would not be likely to go to the Imperial College. As long as Wang Pu no longer messed with him, there should be no trouble.

"Well, since that's the case, you'll be honest for two days, take leave and rest at home, and then go to the Imperial College in two days."

Wang Pu was listless, drooped his head and said, "Listen to my brother."

Wang Gui sighed and left. Wang Pu got up from the ground, called his servants to clean up, and then went to the study to write a letter. As a tyrant in Taiyuan, how could he surrender so easily? The rogue still had three friends, Wang Pu came from a famous family and had his own family property. He had money. He stayed in Chang'an for two years and made many friends. He wrote invitations and invited friends, intending to gather ideas and think of a way to cure Li Mu. If he didn't exhale, he would be unable to live a peaceful life for a day.

After writing the invitation, Wang Pu remembered the horse called "Tieshan". It was indeed a good horse, but five thousand guan... It was probably enough for Li Mu to feel distressed, but it was cheaper for the owner, five thousand guan, which was enough for him to leave Chang'an and find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to be a little rich man, and be free forever.

Wang Pu thought well. If this horse was really from the owner he saw today, he might have really taken the money to fly away. But unfortunately, he was not the real owner of this horse.

The real owner of "Iron Mountain" is called Dielaozhi, and is also a Turkic person. The horse owner who participated in the competition today is called Anilo, who is the uncle of Dielaozhi. Dielaozhi is Jie Li's son. He is also his only remaining son at present. Jie Li's other sons died in the battle Li Jing raided the Turkic camp.

The Turks had a strict status and all the food, clothing, housing and transportation were reflected. Dielaozhi's mother was just a dowry maid. Once Jie Li was drunk and was confused and gave birth to Dielaozhi. Although he was Jie Li's son, compared with other mothers' noble sons, Dielaozhi's status was very low, which was slightly higher than Jie Li's personal soldiers. If Jie Li's other descendants had not died, it would have been a long way to remember that there was such a son.

After Jie Li was captured and arrived in Chang'an, Li Shimin promised to return his family to him, Dielozhi, his mother, and Jie Li's other concubines, so he was selected from the prisoners of war and sent to the palace of the General of the Right Guard who was given land to Jie Ligai in the suburbs. Jie Li was a khan for half his life, and he never considered too much or too little. After all, the monthly salary given by the government was significant. With Jie Li's big hands, he was short of money and had to save money.

Jie Li's mansion still followed the old Turkic routines, and everyone was provided by level. Diluozhi, as Jie Li's only offspring, was still alive. However, his biological mother had a humble status and had a difficult life. Her food, clothing and expenses were the same as those of her servants, and she could not even eat a bite of meat.

Dielaozhi didn't have any remaining money to give his mother. In desperation, he thought of the horse that Jie Li gave him. So he led the horse to the West City of Chang'an, intending to sell the horse to exchange for money to improve his mother's life. Unexpectedly, he met his uncle Anilo, whom he hadn't seen for many years in the West City. Anilo saw Dielaozhi want to sell horses, and saw that the horse was born well. He happened to learn that the horse was going to be held. He suggested that Dielaozhi might as well participate in the competition. Maybe he could get a prize, even the third place could get a hundred coins, which was much more cost-effective than selling a horse. Dielaozhi agreed. No one expected that the horse was so successful. Not only did he win 500 coins in the first place, he also sold 500 coins, and made a profit of 5500 coins in the first place!

Moreover, 5,000 jin of gold is still 500 taels of gold. If you exchange it for copper coins, you can exchange it for 20% more!

Anilo had thought of running away with the money, but he thought again that he was not young and had no relatives. Now he finally found his sister and nephew. Once he left, he left a knot in his heart for the rest of his life, and he still used the money to find a pile of money.

Dieluozhi never thought that a horse could exchange for so much money. Seeing the box of gold, he was so scared that his mouth couldn't close! He knew very well that the entire General's Mansion of Right Guard did not have so much money. He quickly covered the box and pulled Anilo to find a secluded place.

"Uncle, this money... cannot be exposed!"

Anilo looked at his nephew in confusion and said, "Why? Are you in a hurry to use money?"

"Uncle, if my father sees it, will the money still belong to me?" Jie Li had been deprived of the Khan title and was named General of the Right Guard. Therefore, Dielaozhi only called "father": "Uncle, there are no Turks now. Under the rule of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, we cannot think about things as before."

Anilo nodded and said, "What should I do?"
