Extra story about the royal city and the commander-in-chief
In the first month of the fourth year of Kaixi's reign, Wu Zong's first wife, who had been crying for half a year in Yanjing's Ciyuan Hall, passed away at the age of forty-eight. Everyone in the Yan Palace knew that the Queen Mother had always been in good health. She was now popular, and she was probably angry with her mother-in-law.
Sad.
According to official history, when Empress Dowager Wu was dying, she covered her face with a veil and cried to the visiting emperor: "Three generations of the Wu family have bathed in the country's grace, and the Ai family was personally selected by the ancestor of the family as the grandson concubine.
It has been many years. Now that there is such a rebellion in the family, why do you have the dignity to go to see Wuzong and the ancestors? If the emperor still recognizes me as my adoptive mother, just bury me outside the Huangling Mausoleum."
Today, I am the son of King Wu, the second son of Xuanzong. Since there is no direct descendant, I have Empress Wuzong as my parents. Although my political level is poor, my character is not bad. Of course, I can't do this. I should guard the funeral of my adoptive mother. Still.
He was buried in the same mausoleum as Wuzong Zhao Zhi.
When they arrived in the underworld, although Wu Shao cried and didn't want to go to the royal city, she and Li Fengniang fought for power to depose the emperor and established two emperors in a row. This was an interference in a major historical process. Even if she didn't go, she had to go to examine her merits and demerits.
As soon as Wu Shao saw her husband Zhao Zhi and his father-in-law Zhao Chang, he knelt down to plead guilty and said: "Wu Xi claimed to be the false king of Shu. But the truth is clear. Just last year, he was killed only forty-one days after becoming king, and his death was reported to nine sides."
.But no matter what, I failed to restrain my mother's family and deserved death. I really didn't dare to ask my ancestors for forgiveness and was willing to accept any punishment. However, the two princes Zhao Wei and Zhao Yuan died young. It was really not human power to intervene. Although I
She is not their biological mother, but she is also very sad."
There is an unwritten rule in the royal city. Whenever a descendant or daughter-in-law who has not done well comes, they will regret and beg for mercy. Unless they are like Zhao Ji and his son, they will usually be forgiven.
The Eastern Han Dynasty was one of the hardest hit areas where relatives interfered with politics. Seeing Wu Shao crying sincerely and full of regrets, Liu Zhuang sighed: "Forget it, her biggest mistake was not restraining her mother's family. She did a good job in other matters. The palace wife
It is indeed difficult for people to control the generals who are thousands of miles away. Not everyone is Empress Lu or Deng, so you should be satisfied!"
Zhao Zhi was really angry when he first found out about it, but he calmed down after more than half a year. His wife was definitely not helping her family to rebel. After their two sons died in infancy, they both wrote letters to say goodbye. They said that their aunt was very good to them. Even Li Fengniang
None of the eldest sons she gave birth to were abused. As for supporting the emperor, she has made great achievements in stabilizing the court. To be honest, it is a common problem among women. They trust their parents and want to give them something good, and in the end they raise a white-eyed wolf.
, pissed myself off to death.
Zhao Kuangyin said: "Wu..., Zhao Zhi's wife, don't cry. No one will beat you. But because of your selfishness, you caused instability in Sichuan and Shu and the people and soldiers died tragically. You must not go unpunished. Zhao Shu, from now on your wife
Stop carrying water, this...Wu will pick it for two months, and then they will take turns." Gao Taotao's repeal of the new law was much more sinful than Wu Shao's.
Naturally, others did not dare to have any objections. Zhao Zhi asked his wife at night, "Where is Hepu? She was only three years old when I left. How about Pingxia, the daughter of yours?" These are his only two daughters.
Wu Shao was exhausted, so he still replied: "Princess Hepu is older, and the queen mother (Han Yuanniang) wants to marry her to the Han family, but I remember that you have always wanted to marry Xin Zhengxi (Xin Qiji), so marry her to
Xin Dalang. Ping Xia had a bigger idea. He liked the sunset over the long river. It happened that the descendants of the Li Jin Wang family had a child who was promoted by the Tea Horse Master of the Western Regions. I found out about his good character, so I made the decision to get engaged. They also got married a few years ago. Now.
You are already a mother, so the officials should not worry too much."
"Okay, it's just that you only have one biological daughter, Pingxia, and you didn't expect to be willing to marry her so far away."
Wu Shao sighed: "The son of parents is always far -reaching." In fact, he thought that the Wu family could be sheltered in the western strength. Now don't say it.
But the problem is here in Wangcheng. Seeing that the problem has been completely solved and no one is shouting to kill Wu Shao anymore, the situation of her grandfather Wu Jie's brothers is very different.
To be precise, Wu Jie and Wu Lin lived in dire straits and were hunted down every day.
The persons pursued include but are not limited to Han Shizhong, Yue Yun, Li Yanxian, Zhang Jun, Wang Yan, Qu Duan, Yang Zongmin and Yang Yizhong's ancestors and grandsons, Wang Zhen's father and son, and the Zhong brothers, not to mention Wu Jie.
The gang from Yan Lou's room came and they were probably beaten to death.
What's even more outrageous is that Li Gang, Zongze and others in Xianggong Town, as well as Lin Jingmo and Hu Quan outside the town, are all tacitly providing information to the beating group. This is not a dead horse in Kansai Plains. It's really impossible to hide even if you want to.
open.
As for why Wu Jie was treated like this, of course it was because Wu Xi rebelled! Qu Duan, on behalf of all the Jianyan commanders, scolded: "Wu Da, Wu Er, you two have a son with no butthole. How can the officials treat you?"
Thank you for your kindness. In the early years, you lost a lot of battles but your brothers were all military governors. Later, you were granted the title of king and established a temple. If your son failed to become a prince-in-law, your granddaughter would be the queen, and you would be a general for generations. In this way, your little brat actually colluded with the Mongols to rebel and claimed to be the king of Shu.
, when you captured me back then, you never imagined that we would be here today, a pair of rebellious ancestors."
Wu Da and Wu Jie's yellow face turned red with anger, but they couldn't refute it at all. What to refute? What they said was the truth. If it was combined with the old events, how could it be a slap in the face?
However, Wu Lin still had some spirit of resistance and retorted in the fortress of several buildings, "It's a fact that you were disobedient back then. My brother was never disloyal to the official family from birth to death. If that beast Wu Xi hadn't gone to hell,
Well, I will fry him first and then steam him, and give it to you to relieve your anger. But what has happened is, what is the use of making things difficult for us?"
This didn't sound good. Wu Jie slapped him in the face and cursed: "Shut up." Sure enough, the next second, Han Shizhong took aim and shot an arrow. Yue Yun used a spear even more ruthlessly. This time it was his turn.
Zhang Jun pretended and said: "If it takes seven or eight generations like the Zhe family to get a Zhe, then you can still say that it has nothing to do with your descendants, but Wu Xi is your grandson and his nephew. If the family doesn't teach you, you will deserve to die.
Even the Yangjian Zhu Clan can't escape you. You betrayed the country and almost ruined the situation that our generation and Xiao Xinxin Qiji's generation worked hard to fix, so why do you think we can't embarrass you?"
As you said, you have been operating in the east since the beginning and later developed sea trade. The hard work of establishing the foundation of the northwest Shu region seems to have nothing to do with you, right? Yang Yizhong, who has a flexible mind, thinks so, but they are unanimously open to the outside world.
At that time, no one would expose him.
And to go a bit further, Zhang Jun was also born in the Western Army and was the heir of a different surname to the Zhong Family Army.
Wu Gong still saw something wrong and said quickly: "Senior generals, we also hate this Wu Xi's rebellion. I won't talk about it here. When he claimed to be the puppet king, he sent someone to tell his aunt Zhao, who was very angry.
He was disowned. His aunt Liu cried day and night and cursed, so Wu Xi helped her out. Wu Xi made Wu Zun, the descendant of the clan, the ruler of Xingyuan, and Wu Zun went to Jingxiang to appeal all night. More
Needless to say, the Empress Dowager died in anger because of this. Our family has also been in trouble for eight lifetimes to have such a thing, and the resentment in my heart is even greater than that of everyone else."
This was more pleasant to hear. At least Li Yanxian and others raised their weapons and temporarily stopped the attack. Not only was Wu Gong's words reasonable, but the key point was that he himself was once the deputy capital commander in the official system, and he bravely moved forward in the battle with Xiliao.
He died in battle. After the victory, it was found that he was the highest-ranking soldier of the Song Dynasty who died. At that time, Emperor Wu Zong Zhao Zhi personally wrote a memorial tablet for him. Xin Qiji also wrote a poem in memory of him. He sighed after hearing this and finally put down his divine arm
bow.
Yue Yun shouted: "King Han Hui (Wu Jie) and Wu Wulie (Wu Gong) are not the direct ancestors of Wu Xi's traitor, and their responsibilities are limited. As long as Wu Lin is handed over, we will no longer be in trouble.
." This was a trick adopted by his biological father, Yue Fei, who couldn't get out of Xianggong Town. It caused internal division.
After all, Wu Jie couldn't bear it. The Wu family has always been known for its unity and friendship, and Wu Lin followed him all his life. He had to hand this over because everyone thought it was your descendant who caused trouble in the official family, so they didn't come to meet him (in fact, no one
Let Yang Yizhong be responsible for carrying the letter and speculate like this!), modern commanders did not tear Wu Lin into pieces, but to be honest, Wu Xi was still very young when Wu Lin died, and he was also very unjust.
Just when he was about to intercede, Wu Lin, probably because he had been scolded too much for being rebellious recently, actually said, "You are so hard on each other, aren't you afraid that one day your descendants will become scum, and you will be slapped in the face?"
Wu Gong collapsed and said: "Second uncle, what are you talking about!"
Wu Jie carried his son and younger brother away with one hand and said, "Everyone, please help yourself. Wu Lin, father and son, don't care."
