In front of the convoy, there was also a team of light cavalry guarding the way. The Qinghai horses were magnificent, and the knights on the horses were all tall and strong. They rode their horses like flying.
Everyone on the road gave way.
Wu Huaiyu and the others drank hot tea and snacks in a roadside tent and were about to hit the road.
"Let them go first, we will wait."
Wu Huaiyu waved his hand to stop Chen Sheng who was about to step forward to scold him. The capital and capital under the Emperor's feet would not fight for this moment.
"Who is so rude? They are running rampant on the official road. Can't you see that we are already on the road and are about to set off? What if we bump into someone?" Zhao Xin looked over and observed.
Wu Huaiyu was quite calm.
In Chang'an, the most important thing is the powerful, and there is also no shortage of slaves who can rely on others' power.
"It seems to be the Qiu family."
"Qiu family?" Wu Huaiyu was a little surprised now. Did the Qiu family deliberately collide like this?
Wu Huaiyu asked his team to suspend their departure and retreat to the roadside to let the Qiu family's horses pass first. Who knew that the knight who was opening the way felt that they were an eyesore and an obstruction and were too close to the road.
While the horse was galloping over at an unstoppable speed, he actually whipped out his riding crop and whipped it toward the roadside, shouting loudly, "Get out of the way."
Wu Huaiyu sneered.
"The Qiu family is so majestic."
Chen Sheng, Zhao Xin and others heard the sound and immediately stepped forward.
Chen Sheng raised his spear and rolled up the riding whip. With a fierce force, the knight was pulled off the horse. On the other hand, Zhao Xin directly cut off the horse's hoof with a knife, and the knight fell off the horse.
For a moment, people fell on their backs.
The Qiu family's motorcade stopped.
The Qu servants from the Qiu family of the brigade surrounded him with great momentum, shouting loudly.
A man in his thirties came out of a carriage behind him. He was wearing a small silk robe and a silverbait bag tied around his waist. He saw two people who had been trampled on the soles of their feet, and one whose heads had been chopped off.
two trail horses.
The man was furious.
He stepped forward.
Then I saw an acquaintance, Wu Huaiyu.
"Qiu Yingqi met with Duke Yi. I don't know what Duke Yi meant. Why did he beat me, Buqu, and kill my Qiu family horses?"
Wu Huaiyu had no impression of the man in front of him.
"Who are you?"
"Mr. Yi Guo is really a noble man who forgets things. You have also worked as an errand in the Left and Right Mansion before, and you are always prepared. I just don't share the same shift with Duke Yi."
"I don't remember, who are you?"
"The Zuo Tun Guards Longquan Prefecture commanded the army, Shangzhu Kingdom, and the founder of Linji County Qiu Yingqi."
"Qiu Yingqi? Who are you, Qiu Xinggong, your father?"
Qiu Yingqi had blue veins popping out and his face was red. He glared at Wu Huaiyu fiercely, "That's my second uncle. My father's master is a traitor. He is in Shangzhu Kingdom. The Duke of Xicheng County is currently the governor of Jizhou."
"Oh, it turns out he is Qiu Xingze's son. I thought Qiu Xinggong had such an older son."
These words made Qiu Yingqi even more angry. He pointed at Bu Qu who was stepped on and said, "Please give me an explanation from Duke Yi Guo."
Qiu Yingqi is the eldest grandson of the Qiu family. In comparison, although Qiu Xinggong had a good career before, he was actually the son of a concubine and had never had a good relationship with his eldest half-son Qiu Xingze. Qiu Yingqi and Qiu Xingze
Xing Gong, the uncle and nephew, are only about ten years apart in age, and they were often bullied by this uncle since childhood.
Qiu Yingqi is also a leader among the younger generation of the Qiu family. He joined the army with his father when he was a teenager, and then followed his father and uncle to serve in the Qin Palace.
After the incident, Qianniu was given the power to prepare himself, and now he is also the leader of the army, stationed in Gyeongju.
"Excuse me, you came just in time. I was just about to ask you for an explanation. My father-in-law came to Beijing today, and his family was here to greet him. He stopped to drink a cup of hot tea and was about to set off. As a result, your servants ran rampant. There must be some trouble on the way.
First come, first served, and some people are still bumping into each other like this on the road, how come these slaves don’t understand the rules?"
"Besides, I didn't want to fight with you for this moment, so I went out of my way to get out of the way. However, you, a slave, dared to whip us with your whip. How arrogant is this?"
Chen Sheng stood up and said, "General Qiu, what you are clashing with is the Shangzhu Kingdom of the imperial dynasty. Doctor Jin Ziguanglu, the governor of Xiazhou, the governor and prince Xian Ma, and Duke Yi, have you seen that Jingjie? The emperor's imperial gift, you also
Dare to collide?"
"This is the following offense!" Xin Zhao said while finishing his attack.
Qiu Yingqi also has the honor of Shangzhu Kingdom. In fact, the Qiu family has four honors of Shangzhu Kingdom. Qiu He, Qiu Shili, Qiu Xinggong and Qiu Yingqi all have the honor of Shangzhu Kingdom. Qiu He’s Shangzhu Kingdom belongs to him.
It was given as a gift when returning to the state, but Qiu Shiliye San's Shangzhu Kingdom was indeed accumulated through battles with Li Shimin.
Of course, Qiu Yingqi's Shangzhu Kingdom was added after Xuanwumen, and some special bonus points are included, but like Wu Huaiyu's Shangzhu Kingdom, its gold content is also acceptable.
However, he was just a county magistrate. Even if he had the word "founding the country", he could not compare with Wu Huaiyu, a prince with 400 households.
Even his grandfather Qiu He was not included in the actual seal list. When the actual seal list came out, his uncle Qiu Shili boasted of his hard work and merit, and he was a confidant of the Qin Palace. He competed with Li Shentong and others in the palace for credit, but in the end he still failed to win.
to a real seal.
Not to mention Qiu Xinggong, who has been impeached many times.
Qiu Yingqi, a small town in Linji County, is incomparable to Wu Huaiyu, the popular Duke of Yi. As for their official positions, one is the governor and the other is just the commander of the army.
Even if his Qiu family is full of in-laws, Sun Wuji, the eldest servant of the right servant She, marries his cousin, and Gao Shilian marries his aunt, now Wu Huaiyu says that he is guilty of the following, and he cannot afford it.
Qiu Yingqi is twenty-nine years old this year. At this age, he is already the founding county magistrate, the commander of the army, and the king of Qin's palace. With a background like Qianniu Beishen, his future can be said to be bright.
He is also very impressive among famous families.
But compared with Wu Huaiyu, it is far behind.
Qiu He lived through five dynasties, what about the important ministers in three dynasties?
"Xiaoqiu, I've heard that your Qiu family has always been a bit domineering. I didn't believe it before, but now my father-in-law believes it. This little slave even dares to challenge the king."
Qiu Yingqi looked ugly. The twenty-nine-year-old was called Xiaoqiu by the nineteen-year-old, but he still had to bow his head and apologize.
"It's all because the lower officials failed to control them well. These slaves are indifferent. Please ask Duke Yi to hand them over to the lower officials so that they can be taught a lesson."
"General Qiu's words are really light. It is a serious crime to attack the Duke." Chen Sheng said unceremoniously.
Qiu Yingqi ignored Chen Sheng and said to Huaiyu, "Duke Yi was resting by the roadside and did not hold any ceremony. These blind slaves were in a hurry. The collision was not intentional. Please forgive me.
two."
This matter can be light or serious.
If a dignified prince and an important official of the imperial court collided with each other on horseback, it would certainly be a serious crime. However, if he insisted that he did not know his identity and did not show any courtesy, then it would not be considered an intentional collision.
Although Qiu Yingqi apologized, he was still very unruly.
Wu Huaiyu chuckled.
"Since General Qiu can't discipline his slaves well, I will discipline them for you. Someone comes and pulls these two slaves of the Qiu family to the middle of the road. Each cane has forty spines."
Qiu Yingqi gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Please ask Duke Yi to let my slaves come and beat these forty people."
Wu Huaiyu ignored him.
The Wu family troops came up, pulled the two slaves begging for mercy to the middle of the road, took off their coats, exposed their backs, and started beating them with sticks in front of everyone.
Qiu Ying was shaking with anger.
Wu Huaiyu didn't give him any face.
This place is close to Gyeonggi Province and originally by the Wei Bridge. There are many people coming and going, and soon there are many people watching the excitement and eating melons.
The whole story was quickly spread to everyone.
Duke Yi Guo Wu Huaiyu crossed the bridge first and was resting here. Just as he was about to set out on the road, Qiu Yingqi came across the bridge. The Qiu family ran rampant and the Wu family made way for them. They even whipped people on the roadside to hit them.
, too obstructive.
Now I hit a brick wall.
"Now there's something good to watch."
"No, this Qiu Yingqi is the great uncle of the emperor's uncle,"
"I didn't expect that Duke Yi would not give any face to the Qiu family."
"You don't know that when Duke Yi was in Lingzhou, he had a conflict with Qiu Xinggong. Qiu Xinggong was deprived of his title and dismissed from office, and he was also impeached by Duke Yi."
"Is it because Qiu Xinggong ate heart and liver on the street in Lingzhou?"
"Yes, that's about it."
"I heard that the person who was eaten was the Young Master of the Han family. It seems that now there is a girl in the Han family who is the concubine of Duke Yi."
······
It's not a big deal to watch the excitement, and it's not too lively for you and me to say anything.
The vendors who set up stalls selling roasted sweet potatoes, fried potatoes, steamed corn, and fried peanuts by the bridge all gathered around and took the opportunity to shout.
Snapped!
Snap, snap, snap.
One stick after another, Wu Huaiyu said that there was no discount for forty sticks. Although the person holding the stick was not a questioner in the yamen and had no ancestral skills, every stick was real. After a while,
The two very arrogant slaves were beaten to pieces and they both passed out.
Even if he fainted, he still had to finish forty strokes.
After forty strokes, Wu Huaiyu waved his hand.
"General Qiu, take your slave back and discipline him well."
Qiu Yingqi looked at the two slaves who were like dead dogs, his eyes were red, not heartache, but anger. He was angry that Wu Huaiyu didn't give him face.
The stick hit the two slaves on the back, but it actually hit his martial arts master Qiu Jia's face.
Qiu Yingqi crossed his hands at Wu Huaiyu, then turned angrily and came to the front of the two slaves.
The two men woke up and crawled towards Qiu Yingqi.
Qiu Yingqi looked at these two slaves with disgust.
Draw your sword and slash.
Two heads roll.
This sudden scene caught people off guard.
After beheading two minions himself, Qiu Yingqi kicked the two heads to Huaiyu's feet and said, "Mr. Yi Guo, I guarantee that these two minions will not collide with you again in the future."
After saying that, Qiu Yingqi turned around and left.
The Qiu family team slowed down and passed by slowly.
This move was unexpected.
"This bitch slave is so bold. If he dares to make such a noise, he should be beaten too." Hou San cursed at the side.
"Impeach him." Chen Sheng looked at the Qiu family's motorcade and said.
Wu Huaiyu just laughed. When he learned from Gao Huitong that the Qiu family was actually conspiring to impeach him for treason, he and the Qiu family had already started a war. In other words, he couldn't bear Qiu Xinggong's presence in Lingzhou from the beginning.
The war started against the Han family.
The Qiu family suffered a big loss at first, but they had no intention of admitting defeat.
If that's the case, then there's no need to hesitate, just go head-on.
It's hard to say whether what happened today was just the Qiu family's slaves accidentally colliding with each other, or whether they collided deliberately. But since we encountered it, we can't be cowardly, just think it was the Qiu family's intentional collision.
Qiu and his fifteenth son, formerly five county princes and ten county princes, plus his own country's prince. Due to the last incident, the ten county princes were taken away, and the five county princes became four county princes.
Now he dares to stir up trouble. It seems that this time he will cut down two more of his four pillars.
"This matter is probably not over yet. Qiu Yingqi's father, Qiu Shili, is no better than his brother Qiu Xinggong. He has always been a domineering person. When he was competing for merit in the palace, he made a lot of noise." Chen Sheng said.
"Soldiers are coming to block it, and water is coming and the soil is flooding. The battle has not yet been fought. We cannot show weakness first."
Wu Huaiyu admired Qiu He very much. After going through dynasties, he was still an important minister in three dynasties, especially Jiaozhi who was able to stabilize Tiannan at the end of the Sui Dynasty. He finally led the country to return to the Tang Dynasty and made great contributions. However, I will not offend others unless they offend me.
If you do it, of course you can’t be timid.
The Wu family of today is no longer the Wu family of the past, and the Qiu family's attacks are also different from Wei Zheng's impeachment in the past.
