0708 The city is full of noise, a haggard family

In the city of Shendu, the atmosphere of friendship between scholars and scholars has been turbulent recently. Both the aristocratic and the people have fought for their own demands, but not everyone is involved, and there are still some exceptions after all.

There is a large mansion in the north of Sigongfang in the Shendu City, with a width of nearly 30 acres, occupying half of the land. Such a mansion is the highest in the entire Shendu City, and it is probably only the lords and families of the clans can enjoy it. It should be noted that even the generals of the Northern Yaya, like Li Duozuo, the Right Yulin General in the Beiqu, are not as grand as this house.

The owner of this mansion is indeed quite good, and he is the king of Tuyuhun and the king of Qinghai Murong Zhong. Although Tuyuhun no longer exists now, it was also a domineering Western border at its peak, unlike the general Hu chiefs of the foreign country.

What's more, in addition to the identity of King Tuyuhun, Murong Zhong also has another identity, that is, the grandson of Emperor Taizong, his mother, Princess Xiping, was adopted by Emperor Taizong, and his wife was also the lord of Jincheng County, a member of the Li Tang royal family. Moreover, his subordinates still had tens of thousands of tents of people. The Murong family was the governor of Anlezhou for generations, and among the various prefectures of the surviving states, the scale was second only to several Eastern Turkic survivors between Hequ and Tiela.

Therefore, when Murong Zhong entered the court, the saints sent fifth-rank magistrates to welcome him in Luobeiyuan and held banquets in the Great House. The courtesy was very generous and the specifications were not inferior to the blood relatives of the ancestral families of the returned court.

But after a moment of noise, the Qinghai king soon fell into a situation where no one cares about it. After all, the situation in the Korean Kingdom is changing rapidly, and no one has the spare energy to pay attention to a foreign king who has no power and is in a down-and-out position. Except for the Honglu Temple who sends people to the yard for a few days to greet people on a few days, and Guanglu Temple occasionally gives wine, drinks and food, almost no one remembers that there is such a foreign king living in the city.

Others may have ignored it, but Murong Zhong himself obviously will not forget his existence, and he has been feeling quite anxious since he entered the court.

The reason is also very simple, that is, although his power is gone, his enemies cannot be underestimated, and can even be said to be so powerful that it is hopeless.

After entering the court, the court originally gave the title to Guirenfang, but Murong Zhong realized that Guirenfang was far away from the Danei Imperial City, and there were many Donghu Yi people and heroes in the neighborhood. Among them, there were inevitably assassins and others who were hiding, worried that safety could not be guaranteed. So he fostered his mother Xiping Princess Dachang, and he spent a lot of money to buy a mansion in Sigongfang, Luobei.

Because the Luobei fangs are surrounded by imperial cities, many imperial guards have bought property here, such as the house of Li Duozuo, who lives in the same fang. The Qinghua fang on his left is also located in the Zuo Jinwu Guard official hall, so the safety of the fang residence is naturally guaranteed. It was after moving into Sigongfang that Murong Zhong finally took the initiative to sleep and no longer worried about being assassinated by a forced man in his sleep.

But even so, Murong Zhong did not dare to go out to walk in the streets and markets. He only had children and confidants to go out for socializing. He was extremely careful.

On this day, Murong Zhong summoned his son Murong Xuanchang in the hall and asked, "Yesterday, the son of Grand Prince Li's son was crowned a guest in the residence. Why did you just leave for a short while?"

Nowadays, the most prominent cousins ​​of the Li Tang royal family are the prime minister Li Sixun and the right guard Li Jin, the cousin. Therefore, the Shiliu called Li Sixun the Grand Prince Li and Li Jin the General Li. Moreover, it is said that both of them will be awarded the title of king soon, which will naturally become even more popular.

Before he succeeded to the King of Qinghai, Murong Zhong had been a proton in the Shendu City for a long time and often stayed at the Bellman. He was not unfamiliar with various ways of human relationships within the capital. Now, he is naturally more concerned about this in the country.

The prime minister Li Sixun is now very popular, and Murong Zhong does not expect him to speak out and help him fight the threat from Xijing. However, if he can become a guest, Shi Liu will be more polite in dealing with the Tuyuhun problem after seeing him, and will not be merciless.

Murong Xuanchang was about twenty years old. After hearing this, he looked angry and said in a muffled voice: "The family is arrogant and arrogant. He thought I was so polite. He actually placed me on the left side of the hall. Leaving me there was only ridiculous, so he just left!"

After hearing this, Murong Zhong said angrily: "Silly slave! Is face important or life important? The power of Li Xianggong suddenly rose and had no long friendship with my family, so it is inevitable that his family will be close and close. As long as you get along with each other in daily life, you will still be worried that you will not be able to enter the church in the future?"

Speaking of this, he instructed his family: "Another batch of money and goods are paid in the account, which must be better than the previous gifts and will be given in additional submissions. At present, Grand Prince Li has not yet been granted a formal title. Once he is crowned as a king, it may be even more difficult to see if he wants to come to the door."

After hearing this, his family crawled on the ground with a bitter face and said, "King, since he entered the capital, he has forced money and goods. Now there is really not much left in the account warehouse..."

When Murong Zhong heard this, he was shocked. Now that his power is gone, he buys peace all by money. He hurriedly said, "Get the plan book and see!"

When the retainers brought the account books, Murong Zhong looked at it in a hurry, and his face became even more ugly. When he entered the court, he knew that personnel were difficult, so he brought a lot of goods. As the king of a country, he must have a huge amount of goods. But he did not expect that more than half of the goods he carried in less than a year had been used. Although this Shendu City temporarily guaranteed his safety, it was also a veritable gold-selling cave!

"Where does this monthly expense go from over a thousand yuan?"

After reviewing the account book, Murong Zhong asked, pointing at one of the money flowing to him.

The retainers entered the front and then replied: "It was given to Fangzhong Street Shop. If the money was not used, the Wuhou would not inspect Nanqu..."

"The housekeepers are cunning! The little ghosts on the street dare to insult me!"

When Murong Zhong heard this, his face changed drastically and he slapped the table and cursed.

"Aye, is it right or wrong for us to enter the capital? Nowadays, everyone in the world knows that King Yong holds a grudge against my family, and all the things they come and go rely on this to force them. They are not really trying to keep my family safe, but just use the power of King Yong to blackmail them. What kind of face will it be if they squeeze my family dry up? It's really worrying!"

Seeing that his father looked extremely angry, Murong Xuanchang couldn't help but say, "If I had known that this was the case in the city, it would be better to stay in Hequ at that time. Aye was the imperial court. Even if Qi Bi Ming relied on his power, how arrogant King Yong would be, would he really dare to murder my family?"

"King Yong sent power to abuse people. He summoned me back to Longbian, intending to destroy the lives of my father and son in Tubo. Moreover, King Yong was arrogant and unlawful and was already suspicious of the court. If I recruited my troops to serve, I would not have any good ending. If the court vented its anger and deprived him of his life, he would be even more unable to make a living!"

Murong Zhong was a young man and lived in two capitals for most of his life. He had no great feelings for the so-called homeland and old troops. During the Chuigong period, his father died and his subordinates took charge of his post. He also felt that Anlezhou was far inferior to the two capitals, so he did not want to go to Longbian to fight for life and death with Tubo.

At that time, he was forced by Qi Bi Ming's crazy words and was already indignant. In addition, the imperial envoys summoned him and simply abandoned his troops and returned to China. But even he did not expect that the situation was so difficult after entering the capital. Especially King Yong was almost defeated by Longbian, and after the division of Xingtai, the power became stronger, and even the court gradually became difficult to control. He offended King Yong so hard that he was even more worried and fearful.

Although he said this, Murong Zhong felt a little regretful in his heart, and understood that what his son said was the truth. King Yong was powerful and the court had to give up even the land of Shaanxi. Although Murong Zhong returned to the country, his subordinates remained in Anlezhou. If they were digested by Xingtai, the court realized that he, the King of Qinghai, was just a good person, and would not be able to protect him.

What's more, the situation in the Shendu City is changing rapidly. Today's great people don't know whether they will take power tomorrow. Even if he uses money to buy his life, as long as King Yong does not fall, this is a bottomless pit. Once the savings are exhausted, they may turn around and be thrown out to calm King Yong's anger.

"Only if the power does not exist, people will be despised! Li Duozuo, a northern sect, is just a lowly genius, but because of the gathering of his subordinates, even though he was imprisoned for preventing King Yong from gathering the soldiers of the Daibei Army, he is now in charge of the imperial guards of the Northern Yas, and no one dares to humiliate..."

"It's time to come, and it's useless to think too much. I have violated the mission of King Yong, and he will definitely not let me go. I will recruit the Jiaren from Nan City to the residence tomorrow to sell some goods, take advantage of the recent situation of Shendu, and work hard to find a real guard..."

Murong Zhong was still calculating, but suddenly his family came to report that a distinguished guest was visiting. When he saw the post, he frowned and said, "King Yulin? My family has no contact with him, so he suddenly came to the door... King Yulin returned from Xijing. Has he received some instructions from King Yong?"

His fear of King Yong has penetrated into his bones. He can't help but think about everything, and subconsciously dare not meet him. But King Yulin Li Qianli is a close relative of the Zong family after all. Even though he is not strong and now he takes the initiative to come out, he dares not turn people out, so he can only bite the bullet and go out to greet him.

Murong Zhong expected that Li Qianli was coming for King Yong. He took the post of the Shaofu Supervisor as his envoy, and after returning to the capital, he was deprived of his post. The current turmoil in Shendu City had nothing to do with him.

Everyone knows what he did in Wuzhou. Not only did he have no injustice to appeal, but he would have a basket of bad foundations that might be held accountable, so he naturally cared about King Yong's explanation. Only hiding King Yong is a good plan to protect himself. What's more, visiting Murong Zhong was a pleasant thing to pretend to be a tiger's power and blackmail to make money.

A sect king came to visit, and the family of the King of Qinghai did not dare to neglect him. He first invited King Yu Lin to the front hall, and then came in to report.

Li Qianli walked with his hands behind his back, observing the majestic residence, and was very envious. He was a great king of Tang Dynasty. When it comes to daily life, he was not as good as such a dying king who was dying. It was really unhappy.

"I don't know that King Yulin's arrival in the residence was a mistake and was really rude!"

Soon, Murong Zhong and his son hurried into the front hall from the house. Murong Zhong, who was far away, held his fists and apologized, with an extremely enthusiastic attitude.
