Wang Pu was dragged home by his eldest brother Wang and lost his temper. He overturned all the tables, chairs and furnishings in the lobby. The servants did not dare to come near, so Wang sent him away, leaving him alone to move.
He took a chair and sat next to him, watching Wang Pu going crazy.
Finally, everything that could be overturned was overturned, and everything that could be smashed was smashed. Wang Pu's strength was almost exhausted, and he sat down on the ground, turned his head away from Wang, hugged his arms and sulked.
The king was not surprised by such childish behavior. Because of the big age difference, the king always treated this younger brother as his son, but because they were brothers, the king did not discipline him like a son, so he
Wang Pu developed his current character. Thinking of this, Wang felt filled with guilt.
After Wang Pu finished venting and his mood stabilized a little, Wang opened his mouth and said: "Since you were a child, you have to do whatever I don't let you do. Why can't you just listen to my elder brother? This Li Mu, who has
He is a great talent, very sharp, and very difficult to mess with. Even I don't dare to test it easily. When you are right, you must think deeply and carefully before you dare to speak. What you did today is really reckless!"
Hearing that his elder brother was still blaming himself, Wang Pu couldn't bear it anymore and said: "Brother, I remember that you are not a person who is afraid of trouble. Even when faced with Li Jicheng and others, you can still talk without fear. Why?
How can he be so cautious when dealing with a younger generation? He just deceived Shengting and relied on His Majesty's favor to become arrogant and domineering! What did I do wrong today? He has made rude remarks many times and has repeatedly treated the powerful family.
Criticism, as a descendant of the Taiyuan Wang family, if I don’t stand up and reclaim this place, the family will be completely disgraced!"
"Stupid!" Wang scolded: "You idiot! You are so self-righteous! If Li Mu was really like what you said, how could he be alive today? Your Majesty is a wise king of the world, with a keen eye for talents. He has shown many favors to Li Mu.
There is no luck in getting in, that is someone's ability. Horseshoes, printing, Zhenguan plow, which one can you make? Do you know that just like the Zhenguan plow, the rich and powerful families in this world must hold it?
Him, coax him! What do you know?!"
Wang Pu wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Wang: "Besides, it's just that you provoke him. What about the wealthy people in Longxi... You know who he is talking about, so you dare to talk nonsense?"
"No matter who he is! Even the Li Clan of Longxi cannot treat me, the Wang family of Taiyuan, as a beast!"
Wang corrected him: "They didn't say that the Wang family of Taiyuan is a beast. He only said that you are a beast compared to the rich man in Longxi."
Wang Pu stared: "Brother, why should I care about these words? Don't they all mean the same thing? Isn't it possible that he said that the younger brother is a cow and a horse, and the eldest brother is not angry?"
"I'm not angry." To Wang Pu's surprise, he didn't expect Wang to say that. He was stunned and couldn't speak. Wang continued: "Use your good head and think about it. What can you come up with?"
Who could be the person who gave one thousand taels of gold and pushed it to build a high-rise building in Chongrenfang, the villa of the Prince of Jiangxia? He said you were a bully and wronged you?"
Wang Pu was stunned for a moment, then murmured: "No, it's impossible!"
Wang helplessly sighed: "I thought it was impossible at first, but if you know how close the relationship between Li Mu and the Supreme Emperor is, you will know that nothing is impossible. Fortunately, I covered your mouth in time today, otherwise you would have said it out loud.
What are the consequences? Although the Supreme Emperor has abdicated, his influence in the government and the public is still there. Will it be difficult to punish you? Besides, can Your Majesty tolerate you? Although you are a descendant of the Wang family in Taiyuan, you must also know that this world belongs to Li Tang!
The five surnames and seven hopes united are not enough to compete with the imperial power, so what do you think?"
As he spoke, the king sighed again: "Aristocratic families have always been a worry for emperors throughout the ages. Anyone who is an emperor wants to suppress the wealthy families and win over the aristocratic families. I am cautious in the court, walking on thin ice, maintaining relationships in every possible way, for fear of giving someone a handle.
It would be better for you to find the problem yourself. Don't you see that His Majesty is conniving with Li Mu just to use his hand to bring trouble to the wealthy family. If you have a conflict with him, even if the truth is on your side, Your Majesty will not stand if the trouble gets bigger.
On your side, isn’t it stupid to ask for trouble?”
Although Wang Pu was a playboy, he was from a big family like the Wang family in Taiyuan, so he still had some knowledge. After listening to Wang's words, he also understood the stakes and murmured: "Then there will never be a chance to recover from this situation."
coming!"
"You are still trying to find trouble. Today you made him lose three thousand guan. With that kid's temper, how can he let it go?" Wang thought for a moment and said, "That's all. You will resign and return to Taiyuan tomorrow.
Anyway, you can’t teach anything in the Imperial College.”
"I won't leave!" Wang Pu said with a blushing face: "I have already lost my face once. If I leave in despair again, wouldn't I admit that I, the Wang family of Taiyuan, are afraid of him? I, Wang Pu, can die, but I can't lose my face.
Brother, I will never go back to Taiyuan. At worst, I just need to avoid him. How can he still find the Imperial College?"
"You..." Wang saw that his brother was resolute. After all, he was not his son, so he could not discipline him harshly. He thought in his heart that with Li Mu's relationship with Kong Yingda, it was unlikely that he would go to the Imperial Academy. As long as Wang Pu stopped messing with him,
It should be fine.
"Well, in that case, you can be honest for two days, take leave to rest at home, and then go to the Imperial College in two days."
Wang Pu was listless, his head drooped, and he said: "Listen to brother."
Wang sighed and left. Wang Pu got up from the ground, asked his servants to clean up, and went to the study to write a letter. As a tyrant in Taiyuan, how could he give in so easily. The ruffian still had three friends, Wang Pu
He was from a famous family, had his own property, and had money. After staying in Chang'an for two years, he also made many bad friends. He wrote invitations and invited his friends, intending to brainstorm and come up with a way to deal with Li Mu.
.If this bad breath does not come out, he will not be able to live in peace for a day.
After writing the invitation, Wang Pu thought of the horse called 'Iron Mountain' again. It was indeed a good horse, but five thousand guan... was probably enough to make Li Mu feel distressed, but it did give the owner an advantage.
Qian Guan, enough for him to leave Chang'an, find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, become a small rich man, and live a happy life.
Wang Pu thought well. If this horse really belonged to the owner he met today, he might really take the money and fly away. But unfortunately, he is not the real owner of this horse.
The real owner of 'Tieshan' is named Dieluo Zhi, and he is also a Turk. The horse owner participating in the competition today is called Anilo, who is Dieluozhi's uncle. And Dieluozhi is Jieli's son.
He is also his only remaining son. Jieli's other sons all died in the great battle when Li Jing raided the Turkic camp.
The Turks have a strict status hierarchy, which is reflected in their basic necessities, food, clothing, housing and transportation. Dieluo Zhi's mother was just a dowry maid. Once when Jieli was drunk, he met her in a daze and gave birth to Dieluozhi. Although he was Jieli's
Son, but compared with other sons whose mothers have noble family backgrounds, the status of Dieluo Zhi is very low, only slightly higher than that of Jie Li's personal soldiers. If Jie Li's other heirs had not died, it would have been a disaster.
I remember having such a son.
After Jieli was captured and brought to Chang'an, because Li Shimin promised to return his family to him, Dieluozhi, his mother, and Jieli's other concubines were selected from the prisoners of war and sent to the government to grant them fields in the suburbs.
The palace of General Youwei built for Jieli. Jieli had been a khan for half his life, and he never considered how much or how little money he spent. After all, the monthly salary given by the government was considerable. Under Jieli's lavishness, it didn't take long.
We are stretched thin and have to save money.
In Jieli's mansion, the old Turkic routine is still followed, and everyone is provided with supplies according to their rank. As Jieli's only heir, Dieluozhi's life is pretty good. But his biological mother's status is low, so life is difficult, with food and clothing.
The cost is the same as that of a servant, not even a bite of meat can be eaten.
Dieluozhi also had no money left to give to his mother. In desperation, he thought of the horse that Jieli had given him. So he took the horse to Chang'an West City, intending to sell the horse in exchange for money to improve his mother's life. Unexpectedly, he found the horse in Chang'an.
In the West City, I met my uncle Anilao, whom I had not seen for many years. Anilao saw that Dieluozhi wanted to sell the horse, and saw that the horse was born well. He happened to know the news that the horse race was going to be held, so he suggested that Dieluozhi might as well participate in the competition. Maybe
Being able to get a bonus, even for third place, you can also get a hundred coins, which is much more cost-effective than selling a horse. Dieluo Zhi agreed. No one expected that this horse was so ambitious. Not only did he win the first place, he also won five hundred coins.
Guan, and also sold 5,000 guan, making a profit of 5,500 guan!
Moreover, 5,000 guan is still 500 taels of gold. If you exchange it for copper coins, you can get 20% more!
It's not that Anilao didn't think about taking the money and running away, but he also thought about it. He was not young, and he didn't have any relatives. Now he finally found his sister and nephew, and as soon as he left, he left them in his heart for the rest of his life.
Liao Da, I still took the money to find Duo Luo Zhi.
Dieluozhi had never thought that a horse could be exchanged for so much money. When he saw the box full of gold, he was so frightened that he could not close his mouth! He knew very well that the entire palace of General Youwei did not have so much money. He hurriedly
After covering the box, he took Anilao to a secluded place.
"Uncle, this money...can't be exposed!"
Anilao looked at his nephew in confusion and said, "Why? Aren't you in a hurry for money?"
"Uncle, if my father sees it, will this money still be mine?" Jieli has been deprived of his title of khan and made a right-wing general, so Laizhi is only called 'father': "Uncle, there is no one anymore.
The Turks are here, and under the rule of the Emperor of Tang Dynasty, we can no longer think about things as we did before."
Anilao nodded and said: "Then what should we do?"
Dieluozhi thought for a while and said: "Uncle, just leave me a hundred guans. If anyone asks, I will tell you that it is the proceeds from selling horses. You can use the other money to buy a place not far from the racecourse."
House, put away the rest first. I will have the opportunity to go to Chang'an City in a few days, and I must pay a personal visit to the Zhuluhou!"
