Chu Liang came to ask for help. As a die-hard confidant of King Qin Li Shimin, Chu Liang's life was much worse than Fang Xuanling's.
After all, Fang Xuanling is from Chang'an and has settled in Chang'an for many years, while Chu Liang is from Qiantang, his ancestral home is Henan, and he is now nearly sixty years old.
He had a very rich experience. He was a minister of the Southern Dynasty. After entering the Sui Dynasty, he successively held the positions of Bachelor of the East Palace, Doctor of Taichang, etc. Later, he was implicated in Yang Xuangan's rebellion and was demoted to the position of Sihu of Donghai County.
Later, he served as the Minister of Huangmen from Xue Ju. After Xue Rengao was defeated, he came to Tang Dynasty and was gradually reused by Li Shimin. He was regarded as a backbone figure in the palace of Qin. After the defeat, he was captured and returned to Chang'an.
Chu Liang was a man of outstanding literary prowess and was an out-and-out Jiangnan talent. However, he was really unaccustomed to the climate in Guanxi and never became a high-ranking official, so Xue Liang used him. Unfortunately, Xue Liang could only be regarded as a rebel, and he named him
Few people will recognize the official position. Once defeated, most people will have to start all over again.
Many years have passed, and after being captured one after another, almost nothing has been accomplished. In addition, living in Chang'an, life is not easy. Now one can imagine the embarrassment of Chu Liang and his son.
By the way, most of the staff of King Qin Li Shimin have been released. They are not involved in military power, and they are all protected by people. Li Po went through their names with familiar or unfamiliar names, and they were all temporarily released.
They are just not allowed to leave Chang'an City.
In fact, most of them will be reactivated in the near future. These things will have to be completed after Li Po becomes emperor, and we don't have time to think about it carefully now.
Fang Xuanling, for example, would definitely be employed. Fang Mou Du Duan was so famous. Li Po didn't remember many people. He almost caught every one and used them all.
The same goes for Chu Liang and his son. Naturally, someone would tell Li Po about his origins. Li Po accepted the inheritance of Qin King Li Shimin very happily.
It's just that Chu Liang can't seem to wait for that day. Two or three years ago, he and Yu Wenshiji participated in the murder of Dugu Huai'en, which caused a huge uproar at the time.
Dugu Huaien is the leader of the Dugu clan in Kansai. Needless to say, the status of the Dugu clan in Kansai. Once someone like Dugu Huaien is killed without permission, one can imagine the reaction of the Dugu clan.
Already.
At that time, under the instigation of Prince Li Jiancheng's party members, the King of Qin Li Shimin was almost pulled out to show to the public. Everyone in the Prince of Qin's palace was demoted from Chang'an, including Xiao Yu, just because he said a few good words for the King of Qin.
In this matter, Qin King Li Shimin was very responsible and took over everything, so that Chu Liang, Yu Wenshi, and others did not suffer.
The turmoil finally subsided due to the compromise of all parties and the threat of foreign enemies, but the hatred has not been wiped out. Even if the Dugu family has gone downhill, it is still one of the most prominent families in Chang'an. It cannot be settled like this.
Already.
If the King of Qin continues to be in power, the people around him will be fine, but once he is in trouble, people from the Dugu family will come to seek revenge in minutes.
The current leader of the Dugu clan is Dugu Xiude, a prodigal son who ran back from Luoyang, the eastern capital. He has no great abilities. The reason why he can assume the position of leader of the Dugu clan is because of Li Yuan's full support.
No matter the children of the Dugu family, or their in-laws, disciples, and friends, they all dislike him. Under such circumstances, the influence of the Dugu family is actually shrinking rapidly, and the decline is getting faster and faster.
But for Chu Liang, no matter how declining the Dugu family was, they were still a behemoth. When Yu Wenshiji sent him a message saying that the Dugu family was going to cause trouble for him, their father and son were very frightened, even if they came to look for him.
Fang Xuanling discussed countermeasures.
"Dugu Shi, this is impossible to guard against."
When it comes to entertaining guests, Mrs. Lu has never embarrassed Fang Xuanling. Even though her family is not very well-off, she still prepares a few dishes and a jar of wine. Chu Liang and his son eat and drink very sweetly. I think they are eating chaff these days.
Swallow vegetables.
After hearing their purpose, Fang Xuanling also felt very troubled.
In a family like the Dugu family, not to mention relatives, there are countless disciples and old officials. If you want to trouble Yuwenshi, you will probably have to take care of the Yuwen clan, but if you want to punish Chu Liang and his son, it is really easy.
As soon as Chu Liang and his son heard the news, they ran to Fang Xuanling for help. They had no idea who was going to cause trouble and where they were coming from. They didn't know the root cause. Even if Fang Xuanling was very clever, he couldn't figure it out
What a great idea.
Chu Liang has gray hair and a haggard face that makes people look pitiful. He is an authentic scholar, proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, especially calligraphy. His notes are often praised by Qin King Li Shimin. When he was in the Sui East Palace, it is said that Yang Guang
He was very jealous of his literary talent. Later he was demoted to Sima of Donghai County because of this.
I don’t know whether this statement is true or not. Anyway, Yang Guang offended people all over the world, and everyone poured dirty water on him, which became a kind of political correctness.
At this moment, Chu Liang had a look of unlucky expression on his face, "We had no personal grudges against him when he punished Du Gu Gu, but he wanted to collude with foreign enemies and carry out his treasonous act... We only made this move because of the emergency.
…”
Fang Xuanling glanced at him and said, "What's the use of explaining to me? If I were here, I would definitely advise King Qin to just take down Dugu Huai'en, but you are helping King Qin to kill people. Today
The misfortune is not unjust, right?
I am also wondering, is Chu Liang saying that everyone made a plan that day, how come I am the only one who is in trouble today? Besides complaining, he wants everyone to help him escape?
If so, you've come to the wrong place.
Chu Suiliang, who was next to him, was young and quick-thinking. He could tell something was wrong as soon as he heard it, and immediately interjected: "It's useless to complain. My nephew and his father came here to ask for advice from my uncle... My uncle has always been involved in world affairs.
He is very insightful and resourceful. Is there any good strategy for my nephew and his father to avoid disaster?
If it fails, my nephew will not complain...I will act with a clear conscience on that day...The King of Qin treats us well, so what does it matter if he sacrifices his life?"
This was said more beautifully, and Chu Liang nodded repeatedly beside him, admiring his son's character very much.
Fang Xuanling pondered for a long time. He himself had not found a place yet, and he could hardly even eat, but he still had to help this and that. He felt very uncomfortable.
In fact, Fang Xuanling is really not that kind of person with a warm heart. It's just that when he was serving in the Prince of Qin's palace, he got to know many people because of his responsibilities and the selection of talents.
Now it has become a problem. Without the name of Prince Qin's Palace, what can be done?
"Why don't you leave the capital for a while?"
Chu Liang doesn't care, but Chu Suiliang is not happy. He is an ambitious young man. How can the scenery of Chang'an be comparable to the outside world? Even if he receives an official position in Chang'an and then works outside, it will be much better than leaving Beijing at this time.
.
But he couldn't say that, he just said before his father again: "Dugu is so powerful, where can I support him?"
Fang Xuanling was so smart and well-informed, but he just pretended not to know and said with a smile: "It is true that the Dugu family is quite famous in Guanxi, but in Jin..."
Having said this, Fang Xuanling shook his head, "Jinyang is also a big city. The King of Han went south to Chang'an, and there were many followers. From my point of view, Jinyang is inevitably empty. If someone goes the opposite way, maybe he can find another way?"
Chu Suiliang really didn't expect that Fang Xuanling would give their father and son such an idea.
The father and son looked at each other. Chu Suiliang wanted to refute, but he hesitated. People gave you ideas, but you refused them one after another, so you can't blame them for not helping.
But Chu Liang was moved. He thought about it and said: "Jinyang is the place where the king of Han prospered, and the scenery is also unusual. Liang has wanted to go there for a while, but the road is far away and no one recommends him..."
Fang Xuanling blinked her eyes and felt completely bad. When you, Chu Liang, were in Prince Qin's palace, you made good friends with Yu Wenshiji, Ouyang Xun, Yu Shinan, etc., and often called you brothers. Why did you only focus on me when you were in trouble?
He wanted to refuse, but it was him who gave the idea, so he held his breath and said: "I learned from others a few days ago that Xue Shou and Xue Bobao are serving as Zhongshu General Secretary in Jinyang. I have some friendship with him. If Chu If my brother is interested in a career, I can write a letter of recommendation... In fact, with my great talent, where can I not show my ambition?"
…………………………
Chu Liang and his son had enough to eat and drink, asked for letters of recommendation, and left. If they really wanted to go to Jinyang, they might not stop in the city anymore and go straight to the road to avoid being blocked by the Dugu family.
Back at the back, Mrs. Lu asked a few more worried questions. Fang Xuanling felt bored, so she went back to the house to take a nap after a few words, but there was definitely a lot going on today.
In the evening, someone came to visit again. The visitor was sent by Dou Cong, the general of Youtun Guard, who wanted to recruit him into the shogunate. His tone was very arrogant, which made Fang Xuanling quite unhappy. Even the guard station You were occupied by someone, but you came here to show off. You are considered a nobody... so you declined the visitor politely.
From this, he thought of Dou Gui again. Fang Xuanling had only met Dou Gui a few times. It was hard to say what he was like. It was just that Dou Gui was rumored to be a murderer. The clan members and close associates around him were often blamed, often with swords in his hands. No mercy at all.
He is quite capable of running the army, and he and Dou Cong are both backbone figures in the Dou family. However, Dou Gui was seriously injured some time ago. It is said that he almost lost his life. I don't know if he is better now?
The Fufeng Dou family is actually a famous clan of foreign relatives. The clan members are all handsome and have been married to the royal families of the past dynasties, which has made them more and more powerful.
I heard that the Dou family is now looking for a suitable person in the clan and wants to marry the sister of the King of Han. I don’t know if it’s true or not. It’s just that Dou gave birth to Princess Xiangyang, the second daughter of Li Yuan. I don’t know how to deal with it now?
When Fang Xuanling thought of this, she maliciously speculated on how the Dou family would break up the couple, and Dou Guang, the son of Dou, was still far away in Shu. What was he thinking at this time?
Then he remembered that Dou Dan had served with Li Yuanji in Jinyang, and had been to Yunnei before. He seemed to have some friendship with the current King of Han?
As the Sima of the Prince of Qin's Palace, Fang Xuanling's information and familiarity with the hero spectrum are unmatched by others. Nowadays, it is really not easy for Man Chang'an to find such a person.
