"Yuchi Gong's father, Yuchi Jia, was the most valued nephew of Grand Master Yuchi at that time. Unfortunately, he died young!" Changsun Wugao explained simply.
Wu Xin suddenly understood and finally understood a little bit.
Regardless of the Jingzhao Wei family, it is still a top-notch noble family, full of important ministers and famous people. Since Wei Xiaokuan's nephew, there have been no outstanding talents. Even if there are, they are women. It is a typical situation where yin is strong and yang is weak, and there is no one to follow.
Yuchi Gong's father, Yuchijia, was a talented man. He served as Yitong of the Great Sui Dynasty, governor of Fenzhou, governor of Youzhou, military officer of Youzhou, Tan, Gui, Yi, Ping, Yan and other six states, governor of Youzhou, governor of Changning and many other important positions.
Zhongjue, who rose to fame, was the pillar of the Yuchi family after Yuchijia, but he died young, leaving Yuchigong and his son to live a hard life. In the end, Yuchigong, who came from a distinguished family, was reduced to a blacksmith, which is an unimaginable misery.
And know!
Looking at it from another perspective, the Yuchi family's miserable life was closely related to Yuchi Jiong's defeat, and it was naturally related to Wei Xiaokuan, who forced Yuchi Jiong to death.
According to Wu Xin's inference, Yuchi Gong's rapid rise after the battle in Dongdu may be due to Wei Xiaokuan's assistance, support and compensation behind the scenes, not just his own talent and ability.
In addition, Wei Xiaokuan returned to the army in triumph, resigned that month, and died of illness the next month. This was too coincidental and sudden, and obviously unreasonable.
What’s even more strange is that during that period, several of Wei Xiaokuan’s talented nephews and famous figures such as Mr. Wei, Wei Shou, Wei Ji, and Wei Jin died or retired and quickly disappeared from the stage of history. This should not be a coincidence, but
Wei Xiaokuan's plan was that Wei Xiaokuan saw the wolfish ambition of the late emperor Yang Jian, so he planned a retreat in advance to save his descendants.
Now that Wu Xin is also a great monk of Danxin, all kinds of intricate connections, information, inferences and speculations are pouring out, but Wu Xin is grateful.
Luoyang, the eastern capital, already has hidden dragons and crouching tigers. There are several forces comparable to the super power Chunyang Palace, such as the Barbarians, White Horse Temple, Shaolin Temple, etc.
Daxing (Chang'an), the western capital, is even better than Luoyang, the eastern capital, and it has hidden many hidden giants.
As far as Guang Wuxin knew, there were several top geniuses who were rumored to be dead but survived. Not counting Anguo Temple, Luohan Temple, Zoroastrian Cult, Ghost King Sect and other top powers.
A simple figure shows that there are more than 200 large and small Buddhist temples in Chang'an, the western capital. There are more than 50 Buddhist temples with more than 3,000 disciples, and nearly 20 with more than 10,000 disciples. The Buddhist sect alone is involved in the Sui Dynasty.
How much military strength and energy does the empire have!
Xidu is simply a huge pit.
No wonder the civil and military emperor Yang Guang didn't like to stay in Chang'an, the western capital. He always ran around in the name of parade and stayed away for a long time.
The water in Xidu is too deep. You can throw a piece of brick out and hit anyone at will. The personal connections can be linked to the Jinluan Palace and lead to a bunch of first-class or super powers. No one is easy to mess with. This emperor is not happy to be the emperor, so he might as well
Out of sight, out of mind!
"Maybe... I shouldn't have come!"
Wu Xin's thoughts were complicated and he immediately sent someone back to call Yu Chigong.
Thinking of this, Wu Xin suddenly thought that if the patron king and the acting king welcomed him so grandly, wouldn't they be trying to use themselves as a shield to attract the attention of many forces? After all, the current Sui Empire really can't stand the trouble!
Originally, Wu Xin's purpose in coming to the Western Capital was very simple. With the help of a large army and unparalleled achievements, he wanted to get more benefits and try to maximize the potential of the Sui Empire.
In addition, what I most want to do is take away Changsun Wuji, his cheap brother-in-law, a top adviser who is famous throughout the ages. In case Li Tang returns, he will not be fooled by Li Shimin. This is the time for Changsun Wuji to step onto the stage of history!
With Gao Shilian's current situation, it would be impossible if Changsun Wuji didn't come out to do things. He couldn't let Gao Mu, biological mother and other women raise him as a grown man!
…
Wei Mansion.
It is located within the aristocratic family area of Xidu, covering an area of more than ten miles, with a grand and obvious main entrance.
In today's Wei Mansion, there are no outstanding male pillars. The women are extremely outstanding, specializing in beauties. There are quite a few of them, including various empresses, princesses, noble ladies, etc., like a huge net hidden under the water.
, firmly guarding Webster.
This is also one of the main reasons why Jingzhao Weishi is ranked among the top famous families. It is not just the blessing of Wei Xiaokuan, Mr. Wei, Wei Shou and other elders who have passed away.
Before Wu Xin arrived, he was naturally paid a visit and given generous gifts. I don't know if it counts as a betrothal gift or a door-to-door gift.
Webster, whose behavior was mainly low-key, did not show off. The patriarch of this generation personally led dozens of elders, deacons, etc. to the door to greet him.
Of course, there is also the factor that Duke Wu was too powerful and notorious, and Webster did not want to provoke him.
If they stage a show and Duke Wu makes a big fuss in the Wei Mansion, he will burst into tears.
Everyone knows that Wei Gui, the daughter of Wei Dynasty, was snatched away by Duke Wu as the daughter-in-law of the famous general Li Zixiong.
The so-called marriage proposal is just to give face to Duke Wu. It doesn't matter whether Wei Shi agrees or not. Anyway, Duke Wu will not let her go, and Wei Gui can't go back!
When they are afraid of each other and give in to each other, the host and guest naturally get along very happily.
"Princess, Concubine Wei has arrived..."
As soon as Wu Xin and others took their seats, a loud shout echoed from the Wei Mansion suddenly came from the vestibule. Everyone in the Wei Mansion, who had just sat down and had not had a tea break, quickly stood up and walked out to greet them.
The Crown Princess, Concubine Wei, is the mother of the acting king Yang You!
This is a rather low-key, but extremely shrewd woman.
Just looking at the performance of the acting king Yang You, the concubine Wei who gave birth to him and raised him should not be underestimated.
"Is this Wu Gu? The name of Guanyin Maid is well-deserved. She is indeed a natural beauty, elegant and refined!"
After a grand greeting, Concubine Wei's reaction was normal, but she looked at her eldest grandson Wugou and greeted her first with great enthusiasm, prompting her eldest grandson to return the greeting quickly.
"I just happened to go home to visit my relatives, and I didn't expect to run into Duke Wu and Guanyin. This is fate! I didn't bring any greeting gifts with me, so I must not refuse them, otherwise I will meet others. Guier has been spoiled since she was a child, and she is a bit unruly and willful.
, Wu Guo, please forgive me, just teach me!"
However, Concubine Wei directly took off the jade bracelet from her wrist and forced it into Changsun Wugou's hand, unable to tolerate Changsun Wugou's refusal.
Concubine Wei is about twenty-five or sixty years old in appearance, which is when a woman is in her prime and radiant. Being an imperial concubine, her appearance is naturally one of a kind, and more importantly, her temperament, graceful, elegant, dignified, delicate, and friendly.
She has a strong sense of motherhood.
Wei Gui secretly curled his lips, because Wei Gui had been sent to the Demon Sect for training since he was a child, and he had forgotten how many years he had not seen this cheap cousin. He made it sound as if the two of them were very familiar.
In another situation, Wei Gui was sure that Concubine Wei would not even be able to recognize who she was!
"It is a blessing for Gui'er to be attracted by Duke Wu! She has been causing trouble recently, and the situation is unstable. Everyone else in the palace has their own plans, and they probably won't be able to spare the time. If Duke Wu doesn't mind, how about I be the witness?
"
Without even entering the meeting hall of the Wei Mansion, Concubine Wei could not wait to speak to Wu Xin in the courtyard.
Obviously, beneath his graceful elegance, dignity and super friendly nature, he hides an extremely strong character. He didn't even ask about the attitudes of Wei Fu, Wei Gui, Wu Xin, etc., and just made the decision directly.
In addition, Concubine Wei was definitely not having a good time in the palace, so she was more anxious to win over Duke Wu, a rising ally, than her ten-year-old son.
"Your Majesty, your words are serious, it is my honor!"
Wu Xin changed his mind and took advantage of the situation.
Concubine Wei needed him as an ally, and so did Wu Xin.
Apart from anything else, as Eunuch Jianmei mentioned before, Wu Xin also wanted to get information from Concubine Wei and discuss countermeasures, but there was no more suitable candidate. (~^~)
