Cui Xin was not politically sensitive, but he was born in the Cui family of Qinghe and was very familiar with the in-law relationships, grudges and grudges among the world's leading families. He knew very well that Chen Shuda would not be able to join the East Palace.
If Prince Li Jiancheng ascends the throne in the future, Chen Shuda may swallow his anger and not rebel...but more likely he will resign.
The reason is very simple, because of one person, Prince Li Jiancheng's first confidant, Prince Zhongyun Wang Gui.
"Wang Shujie?" Li Shan felt puzzled, "Does Duke Jiang Guo have a grudge against the Wang family of Taiyuan?"
"It's not that there is any grudge. Jiang Guogong's wife is from the Langya Wang family. The Langya Wang family and the Taiyuan Wang family are from the same clan, and they are both descendants of Wang Jian of the Qin Dynasty." Cui Xin explained in detail: "In the last years of the Qin Dynasty, Wang Li died in battle, and his descendants
Moving, one group moved to Langya, and the other group moved to Taiyuan."
"Furthermore, Duke Jiang's eldest daughter-in-law is from the Taiyuan Wang family, and the eldest daughter also married into the Taiyuan Wang family."
"The one who has a grudge against Duke Jiang is not the Wang family of Taiyuan, but the prince Zhongyun Wang Gui." Cui Xin felt that he could finally despise his son-in-law in a certain aspect, and he was so excited when he said, "Wang Gui was born in a branch of the Wang family in Qi County, Taiyuan.
, Karasuma Wang clan.”
"Wang Gui's great-grandfather was Wang Shennian. He first served in the Northern Wei Dynasty and became the prefect of Yingchuan. Later he transferred to Nanliang and was given the title of Marquis of Nancheng County. His second son was the famous Wang Sengbian."
Li Shan, who listened patiently, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is this the Wang Sengbian who put down Hou Jing's rebellion?"
"That's right." Cui Xin nodded and said: "Hou Jing is also a surrendered general. I heard that when he first entered Nanliang, he wanted to marry Wang Xie but was rejected. Later, because Emperor Wu of Liang wanted to send him back to the clan Xiao Yuanming, Hou Jing rebelled and conquered
Jiankang, chaos in Jiangnan."
Cui Xin seemed to admire Wang Sengbian quite a bit and talked happily for a while before returning to the topic, "Later Wang Sengbian put down Hou Jing's rebellion, and due to the situation, he established Xiao Yuanming as emperor, and broke with Chen Baxian."
Li Shanzhen became impatient and said: "Then Chen Ba first attacked Jiankang, captured and killed Wang Sengbian, and usurped the throne with Jian Chen proclaiming himself emperor."
"Yes, Wang Sengbian's three sons all fled the south of the Yangtze River. After moving north, the eldest son Wang Yi died early. The third son Wang Gui was involved in the rebellion of the former Sui and Han king Yang Liang and was defeated and committed suicide. Wang Gui was Wang Yi's eldest son and lost his father in his early years.
He was raised by his second uncle Wang Li, and he shares the same love as father and son."
Cui Xin said leisurely: "Emperor Sui Yang, who was the king of Jin in the former Sui Dynasty, went south to destroy Chen. Wang Kun asked himself to be the vanguard and entered Jiankang. He hated Chen Ba for his early death. He dug up graves and whipped corpses, bruised bones and raised ashes, and drank water into his belly.
To avenge my late father."
Li Shan really didn't know about this. He grinned and said, "This...this..."
"With such deep hatred, Duke Jiang Guo is a descendant of Chen Guo's clan. How can he not hate Wang Gui deeply?" Cui Xin said with a smile: "If the prince ascends the throne, Wang Gui will be the prime minister and assistant. Could it be that Duke Jiang Guo surrenders to his enemies?"
Li Shan tilted his head and calculated silently, "It seems to have happened decades ago..."
"Such a great feud will be remembered for ten lifetimes!" Cui Xin exclaimed, "On that day, the king dug the grave, burned the bones into ashes, scattered them into the pond, and drank it with more than a thousand monks from the king's old clan. The whole world was in uproar."
"I see, that's it..." Li Shan looked a little strange.
Is Wang Yu making a big fuss?
Well, it's quite big. After all, he was Chen Baxian, the founding monarch of Nanchen!
But it seems that there is still a slight gap with the Heyin Incident!
This kind of hatred will not be forgotten for ten lifetimes, but what about that kind of hatred?
Twentieth life?
I need to pay special attention to this aspect. The concepts of later generations are completely different from this era. Er Zhu Yichen is still in trouble by being sealed.
Li Shan made up his mind and must not let his life experience leak out, otherwise something big would really happen!
After getting up and leaving, Li Shan found a room and lay down, thinking in his mind. At present, in addition to his mother and uncle, the people who knew the inside story were Er Zhu Yichen and Zhu Wei. Uncle Zhu who was in Dongshan Temple before was also an insider, but he died in the battle.
The Battle of Guji Town.
But it seems that my mother didn't know that Cui Xin's great-grandfather died in the Heyin Incident. After all, it was a hundred years ago... Well, she probably didn't know, otherwise she wouldn't be so enthusiastic about this marriage.
But Li Shan thought about it and felt that he might not be sure. Today's powerful families are all in the north. Although the Wang family of Langya and the Xie family of Chenjun have not yet flown into the common people's homes, they have already withered. With his identity, the head wife must come from the north.
Diwangmen... As for these families, their ancestors basically died in the Heyin Incident.
"Brother Huairen." Zhang Wenguan poked his head in.
"Why don't you go to sleep?" Li Shan responded casually, thinking that on New Year's Eve, brothers Zhang Wenguan and Zhang Wenxi spent New Year's Eve at home. He even asked his mother specifically. It is said that the Zhang family in Wucheng also participated.
Zhang Wenguan approached with a smile and knelt down on the couch, "Do you really use your little brother to take care of documents?"
"I need the approval of Uncle Shi and Brother Wenxi." Li Shan smiled and said, "Does Zhigui really only want to take the Ming Jing subject?"
"Yeah, but in recent years, I'm afraid it's been difficult to take the exam, and it's difficult to take the Jinshi exam. There are many children from Beizhou going to the Ming Dynasty." Zhang Wenguan geared up, "Then tomorrow I will go to Xihe County Duke to take orders."
Li Shan was a little absent-minded and only murmured a few words. Zhang Wenguan looked at his friend's expression and suddenly said softly: "When we set off the day before yesterday, I heard that Prince Yan County might return to the court."
"Luo Yi?" Li Shan was excited in his heart. He had indeed guessed it right. This battle would not be over for a while. Commander Li Ke was in the army. Li Shimin packed Wang Junkuo into the Beiya Forbidden Army. It was really for Luo Yi.
Rubbing his chin hard, Li Shan fell into a long silence. He once suggested to Li Shimin that instead of letting Luo Yi lead his troops to stay in Longzhou for a long time, it would be better to let him return to the court, which would be easier to control.
But at this moment, Li Shan began to wonder, was it Prince Li Jiancheng's idea to transfer Luo Yi back to the court, or was it Pei Shiju's idea?
Although the current situation is still very chaotic, Li Shan feels that he can see some clues even from Yuanzhou, and Pei Shiju, the prime minister who visits the imperial city every day, should see it more clearly. The situation has actually become clearer.
There are signs that Li Yuan did not make a decision not because of hesitation, but because he chose a good excuse and a good time.
On the one hand, we can't clearly analyze the matter clearly in the edict of the deposed prince... I, the eldest son, am really not a son of man. He actually sat back and watched me at a critical moment while my brother was besieged.
It would be a big shame, it would be embarrassing in front of the whole world, it would be embarrassing in front of those noble families, and it would be humiliated to future generations.
On the other hand, as the eldest son, Prince Li Jiancheng has been in charge of the East Palace for eight years, and his own power cannot be underestimated. It is definitely not something Li Yuan can easily handle.
Li Shan was still deep in thought, and Zhang Wenguan looked carefully, wondering whether brother Huai had any private contact with the King of Qin... Knowing that Luo Yi had been frowning and thinking hard after returning to the court, if he was really not involved in the legitimate affairs, then what would happen?
