After leaving the palace, surrounded by guards, Li Chun rode his horse leisurely, feeling that the trip was really worthwhile.
The Empress is quite amiable, and the stories she tells are also very interesting. The most important thing is that they are different from those in books and feel very real.
From Dugu Xin talking about the three daughters of the Dugu family, to the Eight Pillar Kingdom of the Western Wei Dynasty, and the twelve generals, the majesty and achievements of those people seemed to appear in Li Li's mind in the empress' soft words.
In front of spring.
There is also the Queen of Literature Dugu Jialuo. Although the Queen of Literature has been dead for many years, Li Chun seems to be able to clearly see her shadow in Queen Xiao's words.
That is a legendary woman, just like... Princess Yicheng from the north...
These characters are no longer alive, but each of their names seems to be of great importance, because they are the founders of the Kansai clan. They have prosperous descendants, and in these more than a hundred years, they have composed
I don’t know how many touching stories...
Undoubtedly, this period of turbulent times belongs to them, to these families, and they have gradually brought an end to the chaotic period of the Five Hus in China, although most of them have the blood of the Hu people.
Along the way, Li Chunchang thought a lot, and felt that the stories told by the Queen were quite exciting, and he could listen to them more often in the future.
Of course, Li Bi and Master Wang must also know these stories, but they will not be so patient to explain them to her. Well, if the elder brother hears these, he will definitely have a different opinion, and it will definitely sound interesting.
Son, you might as well find an opportunity to talk to him.
When he returned to the mansion, Li Chun did not forget to check in with his sister-in-law and get everything cleaned up.
Li Bi still didn't take it seriously. After hearing this, he just warned Li Chun not to go to the palace during this period to avoid causing trouble.
At this time, Empress Xiao was pacing uneasily in the Xuanwu Hall.
Yes, after meeting Li Chun, she regretted it a little. This kind of spying on secrets inherently carries risks. The peaceful days now are hard to come by, but if it causes trouble, it will really be more gain than loss.
Her situation actually determines her current mood of worrying about gains and losses.
Now she is eighty-nine percent sure that the origins of these two siblings are quite strange.
Because Li Chun's unfamiliarity with Kansai was very obvious, even if he was still young when he left, he should have remembered it...
Furthermore, Li Chun said that they traveled south from the north to Mayi in the winter of the sixth year of Daye. It was clear that she had a deep memory of that journey.
This can also be explained by the fact that the two brothers and sisters went north to find their relatives but failed, but she did not mention a word about the journey north, which should have been a more difficult journey.
The income is quite good, but definitely not too much. The girl is very clever and always forgets the past. Her Kansai accent is also very pure, and Empress Xiao will not ask directly.
So the guess is still a guess, but there are many flaws. Empress Xiao is almost certain that the fact that the brother and sister were born in Fufeng is a fabrication.
In other words, the more she meets Li Chun, the more she will gain, and perhaps she will be infinitely closer to the guessed fact in her mind. But if she wants to finally get a well-prepared answer, she will not find it in Li Chun.
, it had to be narrated by Li Ding'an himself.
According to Empress Xiao's understanding of Dayechu, before and after the defeat of Han King Yang Liang, he should have sent his trusted aides to escort his young son north, and he would certainly not have stayed in Daizhou. So where did he go?
Yunzhong... must be Yunzhong. At that time, Yunzhong was almost neither owned by the Sui nor the Turks. It was a vast land with few people and strong winds. It was a good refuge.
Well, the game has almost reached a dead end here. It has been many years and there is no way to find any personal or physical evidence. To ask Li Ding'an about such things... That is just a joke. I've eaten it.
Many empresses who have suffered a lot would not do such stupid things out of curiosity.
Therefore, although the story Li Po fabricated when he came south from the grassland had many flaws, it was very useful and deceived many people. When the war broke out, no one could expose it.
And with his current status, no one would explore the secrets of his life except Empress Xiao. Even if he said in a big way that he was from Siberia, no one would argue with him.
If he reaches a higher position one day, he won't have to worry about it, because someone will come to fabricate a more prominent family background for him.
Just like when Li Yuan became emperor, he immediately became a descendant of Lao Tzu.
I wonder who would be so unlucky as to confront Li Yuan? It’s wrong. How can you be a descendant of me? It’s not right at all... Well, when Li Yuan hears this, he will definitely send you to find me and ask him face to face...
…
Just like now, not even Queen Xiao dared to explore Li Po's origins in person, let alone anyone else.
…………………………
At this time, Li Po didn't know that the women at home, who looked quite smart, were getting confused and were about to give away his little tail to others. He was meeting someone at the moment.
Yang Gongren, Dou Jiande's official minister, finally left everyone else with him and came to see Li Po.
Yang Gongren had become lean and lean from starvation in Wei County, which was incompatible with the physique of a man from Guanxi. Moreover, he was not young anymore, and he was tired from all the journey, and his spirit seemed to be quite sluggish.
Accompanying him was naturally Yang Xu, the secretary of the general manager's office. The two were brothers and had not seen each other for several years. It felt like they had been separated from each other for a few years. It was similar to Li Po's malicious guess. Neither of them expected to meet in Jin.
, and each one is worse than the other.
It is estimated that if Yang Xiong knew that his son was so unsatisfactory underground, he would jump out in anger, stuff the two brothers back into their mother's womb, and rebuild them again.
In fact, their generation cannot be compared with Yang Xiong. Among the brothers, the most talented was the second son Yang Lin. However, he died of fear due to involvement in Xuangan affairs, so his reputation was not known in the world.
The other brothers were scattered in all directions. Yang Gongren was unlucky all the way and finally came to Jin. Yang Xu probably got into trouble with his brother and became a prisoner.
The other brothers all served in Li Tang, and the most outstanding one was their youngest brother Yang Shidao. After escaping from Luoyang and returning to Chang'an, he was named Shang Yitong by Li Yuan and married Li Yuan's widowed daughter Princess Guiyang.
Prince Consort Commandery.
He is similar to Yu Wenshiji. He comes from a famous family, has both civil and military skills. He is also a rare talent among the noble families in Kansai, and is on the road to becoming a general and becoming a prime minister.
At this time, Li Po also felt it was strange. He had never heard of the Hongnong Yang family before, but now people from the Yang family appeared in front of him one after another.
Yang Xu had been working by his side for a short time, but Li Pozhen didn't see much of what he was doing. He was very well behaved, and he would do whatever you asked him to do. It's hard to say how outstanding he was, but it wasn't easy to find faults.
In Li Po's view, Yang Xu was rigorous in doing things, which was his advantage. His disadvantage was that he was a bit more aristocratic, and his talents were only mediocre. Compared with the reputation of the Hongnong Yang family, the gap was not small.
But his brother was different. He had rich service experience, which was enough to make Li Po's eyes shine.
It is indeed different from his younger brother. When Fang met, Yang Gongren's attitude was very low. He did not mention the big gift, but said that Hongnong Yang Lun was paying homage to His Highness the King of Han, which made Yang Xu who came with him quite embarrassed.
The eagerness to surrender was so urgent that it seemed like groveling, but it was also something Li Po was happy to see, because the performance of Hongnong Yang's son was enough to show that he had taken another solid step forward.
Li Po did not show any contempt. Although this was a standard bereaved dog, it was similar to He Chou, Wang Rengong, Chen Xiaoyi, etc., and they were all valuable properties left over from the Daye years.
Such veteran officials with rich political experience are becoming less and less in today's world. The only thing that makes Li Po a little uncomfortable is that this person carries the blood of the Yang family, a relative of the former Sui Dynasty.
Woolen cloth?
Despite his busy schedule, Li Po still entertained the Yang brothers for a meal. This was not because Li Po was so hospitable, but because he valued Yang Gongren and needed to have a conversation to find out this person's background.
So Li Po asked during the dinner, "Wang Bo is here with Yang Shilang... Speaking of which, this person has a good reputation. I originally intended to get rid of him to show my intention to fight against the chaos, but... Yang Shilang is a great talent, but...
Do you have any good words for me?"
Yang Gongren was silent for a long time, thinking in his heart, if you went to Hebei and killed Song Jingang, Luo Yi and others, you wouldn't have to use Wang Bo's head to show your intention to "fight the chaos", right?
Therefore, it was difficult for Li Po to answer this question, and the question he asked was not whether Wang Bo should die.
Yang Gongren understood the key points here very well. One was whether it was appropriate for Wang Bo to die here, and the second was probably how to use this matter to make Dou Jiande feel the majesty of Jin.
The young Lord of the Jin Dynasty really made Yang Gongren feel refreshed. Otherwise, he was very similar to Chen Xiaoyi and others. People who have governed a place and made great achievements usually don't see how sharp their fighting skills are.
, what is the military exploits like, what they see is something deeper.
Along the way, Liu Bin was greatly shocked by the stability of Jin. For Yang Gongren, this was the only way to bring peace to the world. A mess like that in Hebei was simply worthless in Yang Gongren's eyes.
Therefore, whether it is the frantic Yang Guang in the palace of Jiangdu, the regicide of Yu Wenji and his self-reliance, or the Dou Jiande of Hebei, to Yang Gongren they are just the same clowns who behave like monkeys.
At this time, the prince of Jin in front of him had already given Yang Gongren a good impression before meeting him. Otherwise, he would not have behaved so humblely. You must know that when he was in Wei County, he would rather
They are hungry and full, but they don't want to contribute to Dou Jiande.
Even Pei Juke felt that this man was about to starve to death...
