The envoy Zheng was the elder brother of Emperor Zheng, Wang Shichong, Taifu, and Shangshuling, and Wang Shiyun, King of Qi. The deputy envoy was General Zuo Yuwei, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, and Yun Dingxing, the doctor of Yinqing Guanglu.
The envoys of Liang were the Minister of Internal Affairs, General Zuo Wuwei, and Cen Wenwen, the official of Guanglu. The deputy envoys were General Youyiwei and the King of Chu Zheng Wenxiu.
As a result, the envoys from the three countries gathered in Jin, which was completely different from the previous situation.
Li Po was overjoyed when he heard that the other two envoys had arrived...
Of course, what he was happy about was not that everyone came to congratulate him on becoming king, nor that he was respected or anything like that, but that envoys from the other two families came together, clearly intending to reconcile.
This is different from Dou Jiande sending people over. Wang Shichong and Xiao Mian are both in the territory of Li Tang. Their arrival will directly affect Li Po's future strategy. Even if they don't come, Li Po originally planned to
After he became king, he sent an envoy to Wang Shichong to make an appointment with him to attack the Tang Dynasty.
In Li Po's consciousness, he could never give Li Tang a chance to breathe. The 800-mile Qinchuan River, backed by Bashu, was the real homeland of the pre-Qin Dynasty. The Western Wei Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty grew based on it, and finally the Sui Dynasty unified the world.
Li Tang is even more dangerous. Each person's foothold is not stable, and it is easy for Li Tang to defeat them one by one. Xue Ju is a typical example. If Xue Ju had not been defeated, Li Shimin would not have been able to escape, let alone gather a large army to confront Li Po.
.
This sense of historical destiny will not have much impact on others, but it is different for Li Po. Li Tang has the aura of destiny, so why not take advantage of his fledgling period to work harder now?
Press him to death. Maybe by the time you turn around, he will be too strong to knock him down.
It can be said that the envoys from Xiao Mian and Wang Shichong came just in time, and Dou Jiande's side was a welcome addition. If Du Fuwei's people also came, it would be perfect.
Therefore, the attitude towards receiving these two envoys was completely different from the attitude towards Dou Jiande's previous visit.
Immediately, Li Po ordered Wen Yanbo and Bu Qun to put down everything at hand and go south to Jiexiu to welcome the envoy. The standards were obviously improved a lot and they were very solemn.
Afterwards, Chen Xiaoyi was recruited, and Su Dan discussed it with Yu Wenxin and others who had just rushed back to Jinyang. The most important thing was to find out the origin of the two envoys.
Needless to say, Wang Shiyun, Wang Shichong's elder brother, is said to be very talented and has a very good reputation in Henan in recent years. However, Chen Xiaoyi also said that Wang Shiyun was not well-known before. He was valued as a brother and suddenly rose to a high position, but he could win
If a person is convinced, he must be superior to others.
In other words, I have never met this person before. He should have some talent, but he is quite old and I have never heard of him before. Even if he has talent, it is limited.
Literati speak so tactfully, they sit quietly and often think about their own mistakes, and the principle of not criticizing others in small talk has been engraved in their bones. Sometimes, even if they are commenting on their enemies, they are unwilling to use bad words behind their backs.
It is a bit inconsistent with the custom of people opening their mouths as much as they want since the late Jin Dynasty. In fact, this is the orthodox Han thought.
Of course, no one would care about this at this time. For example, Su Dan clearly sneered at Wang Shiyun, and also dug up the old background of the Wang family in Baicheng. Well, Kansai people are so straightforward.
Speaking of which, the Wang family lineage is indeed strange enough. Wang Shichong is a descendant of the Hu people from the Western Regions, and he is also a dragster. Everyone knows this.
But the more secretive news is that Wang Shichong's father did not die when his mother remarried, but followed his remarried wife to the Wang family in Baicheng.
Then... the whole family changed their surnames, so outsiders couldn't tell whether Wang Shiyun, Wang Shiwei, etc. were really related by blood to Wang Shichong.
Such a rhythm cannot be accepted by even the powerful Guanxi clan. If the Wang family in Bacheng had not been very knowledgeable, otherwise, would Wang Shichong still want to take the lead? Go to hell...
Wang Shichong himself was good at maneuvering, and finally occupied the position of Jiangdu Palace Supervisor, which was already very impressive. However, his brothers were not as capable as him, so they were probably dragged down by him, so they became subordinates one after another and did not catch up with the times.
As everyone knows, it was not until Wang Shichong took advantage of the chaos in the world to invade Luoyang that all the brothers became prominent.
Wang Shiyun had done some research, and Li Po had a rough impression. His life experience was quite... miserable, but he could be famous in Henan. He should not be a stupid person.
The deputy envoy sent by Wang Shichong...well, everyone agrees that that guy is a sycophant and a shameless person.
Li Po was shocked at that time. It seemed that...except for Zhu Can from Jianghuai, Zhang Jincheng from Shandong, and Yu Wenji who killed Yang Guang, he had never heard of anyone who could be reviled by thousands of people.
How did this person get to such an extent? And he is still alive and kicking, and his life is not bad.
Then Li Po also knew that the coming general was a very special being among the generals of the Wei family from the founding of the Emperor to the Daye years.
This man has no achievements. Among the famous generals of the Wei family during the Daye years, he was the latest to get the official position. He was also the weakest. To what extent was he weak? Well, it can only be said that he was completely weak.
The career path this person took was very similar to that of some later people. However, from the founding of the Emperor to the Daye years, such a person was rare. It was like a little sheep suddenly appearing among the wolves when they were surrounded by wolves.
ridiculous.
This guy was deeply loved because his daughter married Prince Yang Yong and gave birth to three sons to Yang Yong, so Yun Dingxing became prominent as the father-in-law.
To be honest, Yun Dingxing really didn't do anything outrageous, but entering and leaving the East Palace was like entering a private house, which made the censor feel very high.
It is said that he received many rewards in the East Palace. After Yang Yong was deposed, he used these rewards to bribe Yu Wenshu and regained his position in the court.
Then he did something that the courtiers hated deeply. With the help of Yu Wenshu, he presented many wonderful things to Yang Guang, which made Yang Guang very happy. It's nothing for you to change the family, but the way you changed is so disgusting, which makes Yang Guang very happy.
Everyone can't stand it anymore.
As a result, this person's reputation was so bad that even Yu Wenshu, who recommended him, regretted it and became increasingly estranged from him. It can be seen that this person's reputation at that time was already bad to a certain extent.
But if you want to say that he has no talent, that's not true. He made great contributions to various projects during the Daye period. Later, he replaced He Chou as Minister of Industry and General Zuotunwei. This can also be seen from this.
Yang Guang was so kind to him.
From this trajectory, we can actually see that although this person has no great evil, he is a standard flatterer. He avoided other paths and created an alternative scenery during the Daye Years.
Just like Chen Xiaoyi and others, they all hate this person extremely, but over and over again, just a few words, that is to say, there is only disgust, no hatred, unlike those other people.
Li Po's eyes lit up as he listened. Damn it, this man actually served as the Young Master's Supervisor for a long time and even became the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. Even if such a person is more shameless, what's the point?
?
If Chen Xiaoyi and others knew what he was thinking at this time, they would definitely be terrified. Thinking about the situation of being together with this person, they would probably have to go out and vomit first.
But the fact is that Yun Dingxing is living a good life whether in Chang'an or Luoyang. Even if everyone doesn't want to interact with him, no one wants to specifically embarrass him.
Wang Shichong sent Yun Dingxing to Jin because he realized that this man was not very capable and could be used in his place. He had met Empress Xiao again, and he was a kind man who liked people.
Li Ding'an was so happy that he sent Queen Xiao back to Luoyang in a daze.
Li Po was indeed very happy, but the situation was very different. Before he even saw Yun Dingxing, he already had the idea of using him for his own purposes.
Moreover, he also despised Wang Shichong. If you don't keep such a talent at home and let him run around, you are really ignorant.
But he didn't know whether detaining Wang Shichong's envoy would make Wang Shichong go crazy. That arrogant and damned guy should be very sensitive.
Of course, as long as he is willing, he can have many ideas on some things. Just rolling his eyes, he felt that a person with such a bad reputation and a person who likes to flatter others must not have hard bones...
...just arrange it a little so that everyone’s faces don’t look too ugly, that’s all.
It's just Dr. Yin Qing Guanglu, General Zuo Yuwei, and Minister of the Ministry of Industry. Let me go. This guy's official position is quite high. Does Wang Shichong value his talent or his words? But you have to meet this man to know.
.
After talking about Wang Shichong's envoy, he turned to Xiao Mian again.
Cen Wenwen, this man was an old minister of the Western Liang Dynasty, and he and Xiao Mian seemed to be a perfect match. Moreover, this man was young and really occupied a place in the Jiangnan literary world.
For such a messenger, Chen Xiaoyi shook his head and sighed. He probably felt a little ashamed of himself. Su Dan also said less, and Yu Wenxin must have had bad things to say. People in Kansai have never looked down on the elegant Jiangnan talents.
This person immediately passed over Li Po's mind. He was too young, and even if he had some literary reputation, he would not be a qualified messenger. To deal with such a person, let the Wang family of Jinyang come forward.
Of course, there are all smart people here, and everyone can guess the main intention of Xiao Mian's visit, which is nothing more than to welcome Empress Xiao back.
But that is absolutely impossible to happen, so receiving Xiao Mian's envoy requires more skills. If Xiao Mian is not attacking Shuzhong, otherwise, the treatment his envoy will receive will not be the same as Dou Jiande's.
There will be a big difference.
The deputy envoy sent by Xiao Mian was King Zheng Wenxiu of Chu, who was granted the title of king with a different surname. Upon hearing this, Li Po was the first to feel that Xiao Mian's foundation was very weak. Otherwise, how could he confer such a mess of kings with different surnames?
No matter how you look at it, they look similar to the rebels. These guys with royal titles are also bold. Their hats are so big that they are not afraid of their heads falling off...
