With the family strategy, Gao Shilian and his son and Changsun Wuji were finally convinced and agreed to follow Wu Xin.
On the same day, Wu Xin sent someone to the patron palace. This small favor was just a matter of Yang Lin's words. Gao Shilian soon changed from the chief bookkeeper of Zhuyuan County to the magistrate of Jurong County and the chief of the armed guards, Zhengqi.
If you have a good grade, you will be promoted directly to the fifth level.
Even Changsun Wuji became Cao Shenjun of Jiangdu County and was granted a seventh-rank official position. Gao Shilian's eldest son, Gao Xingxing and Gaoqixing, was granted the title of Chief Shi of Jiangdu County and Lord Bo of Jurong County, sharing eighty-nine.
Official position.
For such a matter, the document was issued directly from the Ministry of Personnel, and Gao Shilian could only accept it. He could not go to the Ministry of Personnel to bargain.
This is because there are people in the court who are easy to do things. Ordinary officials are promoted once every three years, but it is difficult to be promoted to the seventh rank every ten or eight years.
Duke Wu and the patron king spoke together, but they just said that the official position of the seventh rank was easily given by the Ministry of Personnel. Even the official position of the fifth and sixth rank, as long as there was a little connection, it was not a big problem.
In addition, because the Gao Mansion had been sold, the Gao family and the Changsun family still moved into the Wu Guogong Mansion due to Changsun Wugou's entanglement.
Wu Xin generously set aside three or four courtyards to accommodate the Gao family's retainers, guards, attendants, etc., waiting to follow Xin Wuwei south to Jiangdu. However, since Wu Xin had already arrived in Xidu, he naturally had to wait for the Civil and Military Saint Emperor
When Yang Guang returns to the capital, he should not come as soon as he comes or leave as soon as he comes.
In the following days, Wu Xin stayed at Duke Wu's Mansion and did not go out. Except for the patron king Yang Lin, who came once in person and declined all visitors, Empress Dowager Dugu and Empress Xiao did not summon them again. Others did not dare to easily provoke Duke Wu's Mansion.
, even Silver Demon Pei Yuanqing is still at home and hasn’t gone out yet!
"Peach and plum, conquer the world!"
"Li should be the emperor!"
"Red beans give birth to the southern country, and phoenixes return to peaches and plums!"
"Seven women and three queens, Jinpi Jialuo; solitude is noble, peaches and plums are respected!"
Just as Duke Wu returned to his retreat and kept a low profile, a wave of prophecies and rumors suddenly broke out in the Western Capital, causing countless people to talk about it. It seemed that overnight, everyone knew about it.
Compared with the prophecies made in the previous dynasty and some time ago, this time it is directly directed at Li Tang and the Dugu family, which couldn't be more clear!
Dugu Xin, the great Sima of the former dynasty and the great general of all the kingdoms, was posthumously named Zhao Guogong, Grand Master, and Shangzhu Kingdom. He is the father of the current Queen Mother, so he is naturally extremely famous and prestigious.
Dugu Xin's eldest daughter, Dugu Jinluo, was the wife of Yu Wenyu, Emperor Shizong of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and was posthumously named Empress Mingjing.
The seventh daughter of Dugu Xin, who is now the Queen Mother of Lonely, is known as the Queen of Documents.
Originally, the world did not know who the so-called "seven women and three empresses" were referring to, and why there was such a saying. On the contrary, they were even more curious.
With the four words "Jinpi Jia Luo", people's imagination is unlimited, and they soon thought of Dugu Xin's four daughters...Dugu Pi Luo.
More importantly, Dugu Piluo was the wife of the former Duke of Tang Li Bing and the mother of Li Yuan, the current Duke of Tang. If Dugu Piluo was also granted the title of queen, there was only one possibility: Li Tang sought the throne and proclaimed himself the emperor of the world, and Dugu Piluo could only
Was posthumously named queen.
Coupled with the saying "Red beans are born in the southern country, and phoenixes return to peaches and plums"...
Countless people have their imaginations wide open and have their own imaginations.
Everyone knows that the Sui Empire was trying to seize the foundation of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and to claim respect from the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and then destroy the Southern Chen Dynasty and unify the world.
The opposite of the North is, of course, the South.
Soon, some people thought that Hongdou refers to the wife of Tang Guogong Li Yuan... Dou, and Dou and Dou have the same pronunciation.
As for the meaning of "Phoenix returning to peaches and plums", countless wise people are competing to speculate and analyze. The benevolent sees benevolence, and the wise see wisdom. What is certain is... peaches and plums are plums, and they are Li Tang!
…
The third day after the banquet in the forbidden palace.
The Wang family and the Yuwen family were, after all, top-notch wealthy families with unparalleled wealth and profound social background. After all, they did not dare to provoke the angry backer king and the crazy Duke Wu, so the two families got together and sent the bet to Duke Wu's mansion as promised.
One hundred million gold coins, six divine weapons, ten heaven-level tomes, the original originals!
Five times!
The two tribes have countless assets, but they don't have 500 million gold coins in cash. In addition, there are thirty magic weapons and fifty heaven-level tomes. Even if they share it, the two tribes can't come up with it.
In this way, we can only use various properties, shops, etc. as mortgage, only a little more. Calculated according to the market price, it is about six times the bet of Wu Guogong, with each of the two tribes paying half.
"Except for the three major capitals, the rest of the properties, shops, etc., including these ancient paintings and treasures, are all entrusted to the Penglai Chamber of Commerce for auction. Don't rush, sell them slowly to give the two communities a chance to redeem them..."
The representatives of the two clans sent a lot of property with dark faces and quickly left. Wu Xin thought about it and gave instructions to the left and right.
In troubled times, the most valuable thing is of course the fixed property. Whoever grabs it will get it, and they can't run away even if they want!
"Master Wuji!"
"Master Wuji!"
At this moment, there was a burst of rapid footsteps and shouts outside the hall.
"call……"
Changsun Wuji looked angry and rushed into the hall like a whirlwind. Looking at dozens of boxes of gold and silver jewelry, ancient paintings and magic weapons, he couldn't help but be startled. The visual impact was really quite big.
"Brother Wuji, why are you so anxious and angry? Calm down! Calm down!"
Wu Xin looked at Changsun Wuji in confusion and asked with a smile. Based on Wu Xin's understanding of Changsun Wuji, he has a calm and calm personality. This shouldn't be the case!
"Could it be..."
Just as he asked, seeing Chang Sun Wuji hesitant to speak, Wu Xin suddenly thought, waved his hands to the bodyguards and some people present who were chasing after him, and said, "Let's handle it like this, you guys retreat first!"
"yes!"
Judging from Changsun Wuji's behavior, it was obvious that the person who came here was evil. This was the lord's uncle, and it was not their turn to intervene. Besides, the family scandal was not allowed to be publicized, so it was best not to know what was going on.
Most of the people present voluntarily left, and those who were qualified to stay were only Hong Bo, Wen Renzhong and a few others.
"Mr. Mingji is staying too!" Wu Xin suddenly shouted, which made Mr. Mingji stop in confusion and feel an inexplicable warmth in his heart. This is closeness and trust!
After a while...
Everyone retreated, and even the guards outside the hall consciously stayed away from each other.
Wu Xin still kept a smile and asked: "Tell me! What made you so glum!"
Hongbo, Mr. Mingji and others were also puzzled, curious and concerned. They really didn't know what could make the calm and calm Changsun Wuji behave like this and dare to attack the meeting hall.
"The so-called 'prophecy' that is so widely spread in the Western Capital is your doing? Why do you do this? Aren't Duke Wu and Duke of Tang very close to each other, and there are rumors of collusion with each other? You have shown favor to Li Tang many times, and in the East
You have created opportunities for Li Tang to atone for his sins and become a blessing in disguise. Why do you want to deal with Li Tang again? Shimin is still serving under you!"
Changsun Wuji gritted his teeth, his eyes showing anger, confusion, disappointment, etc., and looked directly at Wu Xin and asked.
"So that's what happened! I thought something big had happened!"
Wu Xin suddenly realized it, and responded with a sigh of relief, with a calm expression on his face. He naturally raised his cup and took a few sips, and then asked: "Why do you say it was me? Are you so sure?"
Wu Xin had been planning this matter for a long time. He had previously used the help of the Demon Sect to make many twists and turns so that no one could trace him.
This time, the surrendered barbarian high priest used spiritual magic to influence some people and spread it. No one else in the mansion knew about it at all. It was impossible to trace it to the Duke of Wu's mansion. How did Changsun Wuji know?! (To be continued~^~.
