After confirming that the Queen of Gaochang in front of her was still sane, Xu Jingzong was shocked and secretly cursed, is this woman crazy?
Do you know that now that the dynasty has changed, is it okay to ask me, an old man from the previous dynasty, to tell stories about the previous dynasty in private, and if it gets spread?
Xu Jingzong was filled with regret, he shouldn't have seen her...
But he said, "Your Highness joined the Tang Dynasty last year, right? Didn't anyone mention the past affairs of the previous dynasty to Your Highness on the way? Why did you come to ask me when you arrived in Fufeng?"
Xu Jingzong looked at the haggard "outsider", and his expression was no longer as respectful as before. When it came to his own official career, the status of Queen Gaochang was not enough to make him bow his head.
Yuwen Yubo: "I know you don't want to mention the past dynasty, so I don't ask so many questions. Huh, there are no good people in the Yang family, and I don't know how many people in the Yuwen family have been killed...
I just want to ask you, is my aunt Yuwen Eying still there?"
Xu Jingzong was shocked again. He naturally knew who Yuwen Eying was, but... that was already a relatively long memory.
Yuwen Eying was the daughter of Emperor Xuan Yun of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and Queen Yang Lihua, and the niece of Emperor Yang Guang. Yang Lihua was the only daughter who later married the Li family of Longxi and married Li Min, the son of Li Chong, the general manager of Youzhou.
It is said that the scene when choosing a son-in-law was much bigger than that of Li Yuan who was chosen by Queping.
Thinking back carefully, Xu Jingzong suddenly remembered that he had heard a rumor that the biological mother of Princess Huarong who went to Gaochang to get married was actually Princess Yuwen Eying of Qinghe in the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
Most of the Northern Zhou royal family was actually killed when Emperor Wen Yang Jian first came to power. In order to show that he was not so ruthless, Yang Jian used some tricks to let some people from the Yuwen clan enter the genealogy of the Northern Zhou royal family and change the genealogy of the Yuwen royal family.
The mess.
Yuwen Yubo's actual name was Li Yubo, but he was adopted into the branch of King Ying Yuwenheng of the Northern Zhou Dynasty when he was a child, and changed his surname to Yuwen, so Yuwen Yubo was born.
Yuwen Yubo was actually the great-uncle and granddaughter of Yang Emperor Yang Guang. When he was selecting a clan daughter, for some reason he was selected by Yang Guang as his adopted daughter, given the title of Princess Huarong, and married to Qu Boya.
It can be said that the royal family of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Li family of Longxi and the Yang family of Hongnong had an in-law relationship that was constantly being resolved and often messed up. There was family affection, but more importantly, there were countless blood feuds.
When Yuwen Yubo asked about his aunt at this time, he was actually asking if his biological mother was okay.
Xu Jingzong felt as if the secrets of generations of royal family were rushing towards him, making him feel as if he was drowning and suffocating.
Yuwen Eying... died a long time ago, and her end was extremely miserable.
In the eleventh year of the Great Cause, Yang Guang was already in a state of embarrassment. The entire Sui Dynasty was in war, and the people were in dire straits. Some alchemists said that the Li family was in the ascendant. Yang Guang was frightened and suspected the then general Zuo Guanglu.
On the head of doctor Li Min.
Li Min was good at literature and martial arts. He was the representative of the Li family in Longxi at that time. He was even more famous than Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Dynasty. He was also the consort of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. If he had lived longer, he would probably have nothing to do with Li Yuan later.
It was precisely because he was so outstanding that he caught Yang Guang's attention.
At that time, the situation was chaotic. Li Min was executed by the whole family, and Yu Wenying ordered him to die. Hundreds of people in his family were all killed.
At that time, Xu Jingzong only heard that Yu Wenshu reported Li Min's rebellion, but what Yang Guang got in front of Yang Guang was Yu Wen Eying's confession. In fact, there was no solid evidence at all. Yang Guang killed Li Min based only on Yu Wen Eying's handwriting.
Min, Li Hun and others were all at home.
Later, someone followed the "rules" and said that it was Yu Wenshu who framed Li Min.
But everyone knew at the time that this was obviously a crazy move made by Yang Guang after he felt that he was at the end of his rope. The Li family in Longxi suddenly lost a big branch, which frightened everyone with the surname Li in Guanxi, and also forged countless deep hatreds.
Yang Jian died so cleanly in the end, and the Li family in Longxi made a lot of contributions.
Even if Xu Jingzong has now stepped into the ranks of local ministers, he will never dare to participate in such things. For more than ten or twenty-four years, the Yuwen family, the Yang family, and the Li family went back and forth like a revolving door to fight, and finally led to the death of three people.
The big valve is completely gone.
Almost all members of the once-prominent Yuwen royal family died. The main branch of the Yang family suffered the same fate. Later, the Li family in Longxi fell apart under the leadership of Li Yuan and was severely weakened.
…………
How should we describe the earth-shaking personnel changes?
Yuwen Yubo felt a little uncertain when he saw that he didn't speak for a long time, "Did something happen to my aunt? Even if you tell me, I'm not a child, can I still cry and make trouble here?"
Xu Jingzong looked helpless and moderated his tone and said, "I dare not hide it from you. The great cause was started in the eleventh or twelfth year. Yu Wenshu, the general of the Shangzhu Kingdom, reported to the imperial court that General Li Min of Zuotunwei was planning a rebellion.
What he holds in his hand is the confession written by Princess Qinghe. The couple... Li Min executed everyone in his family, and Princess Qinghe ordered them to die. No one was heard to have survived... This is the result. I don't know the details.
Please express your condolences, Your Highness."
Yuwen Yubo lowered his head, his yellow hair hanging down, and he couldn't see her expression clearly. After a long time, she raised her head, her eyes were already red, and she said to herself: "So, I am the only one left in the family.
One already?”
Xu Jingzong was also silent. As the food and drinks were served one after another, he waved his hand and turned away.
"It's an old story more than ten years ago. I'm afraid not many people remember it now, and even if they remember it, they won't mention it easily anymore.
A few years ago, His Majesty ordered his secretary to supervise Wen Yanhong, author Lang Yu Shinan and others to revise the history of the Sui Dynasty and rectify the names of previous Sui people. I remember that Li Min was one of them.
Now that His Highness is back, I think it would be best not to pursue the past..."
Yuwen Yubo glanced at him. She was a coward and couldn't blame herself for living until now. She picked up the wine glass and took a big sip. The wine was not very strong and could not extinguish the pain in her heart.
"Yang Guang killed my aunt's family. Isn't he already dead?"
The corner of Xu Jingzong's mouth twitched, "Yang Emperor died in the Jiangdu Rebellion... Well, anyway, His Highness went to Chang'an to look for people and inquired a little, and he could know the whole story. I will tell His Highness the story of my early years here without having to ask any questions.
Already."
Yuwen Yubo nodded. Gaochang had been isolated from the Central Plains for nearly twenty years. The next time he heard about the Central Plains, he learned from the Turks that the Central Plains had already changed.
Yuwen Yubo heard some rumors, but he was not too shocked. It had not been many years since the Yuwen family took over the throne from the Yuan family. Later, the Yang family drove the Yuwen family away again. The Yang family did not sit firmly, and they changed
There is nothing surprising about someone named Li.
…………
She drank the wine one sip after another, and when the glass was empty, she poured the wine herself, silently listening to Xu Jingzong's narration.
They are all very official statements. From the beginning of Yang Guang's three conquests of Goguryeo, to the wars at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and then to the early establishment of the Tang Dynasty, the situation changed and dynasties changed in the past ten or twenty years.
Xu Jingzong came one by one. He was eloquent and clear. He missed every major event in his early years, but he would never stop at the details.
When Xu Jingzong finished speaking with a dry mouth, he licked his lips with some unfinished thoughts. The magnificent and chaotic times of the late Sui Dynasty were the most favorite world for aspiring men. Even in it, he had no regrets and no regrets. Xu Jingzong was no exception.
.
Of course, if you cherish your life as much as he does, you would never want to do it again.
Finally, he concluded that Mingjun arose from the land of Jin, took Tang as his name, and brought the heroes to his knees, bringing peace to the world... If he had pen and ink at this time, he thought he would be able to write a great article.
Yuwen Yubo had already eaten half full and drank a lot of wine. His face was red. Seeing that he stopped chattering, he said, "Are you done? After you are done, you can have a few drinks with me."
So many people have died, but you are so enthusiastic and gossiping, it seems that you are not a kind person... Come, pay respect to those who have died, and those of us who are alive, have a drink."
After talking for a long time, it turned out that she didn't listen carefully at all. Maybe she only cared about her family, and what did the others do to her?
Xu Jingzong held his breath and drank a drink with her.
Yuwen Yubo took a breath of wine and said with admiration: "The wine here is still delicious. The wine in the Western Regions is only for mothers to drink, and it has no taste.
You can bring me some altars when we set out, and when I get to Chang'an and see the emperor, I can say a few good words to you."
Xu Jingzong's heart trembled for a few times, and he said in his heart, "I thank you. As long as you don't say that I didn't treat you well, that's all. Don't say anything else, okay?"
He felt that if this woman continued to speak so disagreeably when she saw the emperor, she would probably have her head chopped off...
"It's just a small matter. Going east from Fufeng is the boundary of Jingzhao. If your Highness needs anything, just ask the local ministers for it. They will not dare to refuse."
Yuwen Yubo looked like a drunkard, pouring himself a glass of wine. He was already a bit drunk at this time. "The emperor's surname is Li. According to what you said, he is from Fufeng. Is he related to the Li family in Longxi?"
Xu Jingzong thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty's ancestor is the Han general Li Guang. From here on, there is no doubt that your Majesty's family belongs to the Li family of Longxi.
But His Majesty has never spoken of his origin, so no one mentioned it.
However, the empress does come from the Sanyuan Li family lineage, and she is also a branch of the Longxi Li family..."
Yuwen Yubo laughed and took another sip. The sadness she showed before could no longer be found on her body.
"Isn't that still a relative of ours? I see you have a lot of ideas. Let me ask you, if I ask the emperor for the throne of Gaochang, can he agree to it?"
Xu Jingzong took a long drink in silence. This woman was a little crazy, but speaking of it, the small country of Gaochang was nothing. Which princess's fiefdom was not bigger than it?
Xu Jingzong thought for a moment and then asked: "The King of Gaochang is now..."
Yuwen Yubo: "Qu Wentai is the eldest son of Qu Boya. His mother is a Uighur. If he had not colluded with the Uighurs, I would have been the king of Gaochang.
Yang Er really deserves to die. If it weren't for him... I had Da Sui as my backer, would Ju Wentai still be alive today?
I left him in Dunhuang and came to the Tang Dynasty first for this reason. The generals in Gaochang Kingdom all obeyed me. Even those Huihe bastards were against me and they listened to the Turk king. I had no choice but to remarry them.
…”
Having said this, Yuwen Yubo became so angry that he picked up the wine glass and threw it to the ground...
