Immediately, he said solemnly to Huangfusong and his son, "Perhaps you have never heard of it until now. The inner courtyard of the imperial palace has been empty since two years ago, just like an empty temple. As early as the Chang'an Rebellion Li Li robbed most of the concubines and maidservants in the inner courtyard of the palace. Even Tang Ji, the concubine of the deposed emperor Liu Bian, was forcibly accepted by Li Li as a concubine. It is said that Tang Ji gave birth to Li Li last year. one girl.

Later, when Li Li led his troops into the palace, he dismissed thousands of eunuchs and concubines, and rewarded all the concubines and beauties of the inner court to his subordinates and generals as wives.Afterwards, apart from the Habayashi guards stationed in the palace, there were only less than 2000 people inside and outside the palace.

The reason why no one knew about the mass dismissal was because Li Li chose to carry it out in the chaos. After the chaos subsided, he would put all the blame on the rebel army, but he could stay out of it.Therefore, the total number of maidservants dismissed by Li Jue this time is only more than a thousand, so it is natural that they can be done quietly and quietly. "

"Young Emperor's Concubine Hongnong was taken as a concubine by Li Lina and gave birth to a son. Is this really true?" Zhu Jun tugged on Dong Cheng's shoulder with a surprised expression and asked anxiously.

"Cough, cough, cough!" The tight neckline made Dong Cheng breathless, and he couldn't help coughing. Zhu Jun hesitated a little after seeing this, and then let go.

"Cough! Everything Dong said is true, and there is absolutely no falsehood. In the second year after moving the capital to Chang'an, His Majesty took Tang Ji back to the palace and worshiped her as Princess Hongnong. Unexpectedly, during the chaos in Chang'an, Li Li Kui led the troops into the palace at night. He accidentally saw Tang Ji's beauty and became malicious. He stayed in the inner courtyard of the palace that night and took Tang Ji away the next day. Afterwards, the world only knew that Li Li married Na Na again. There are several concubines, but they don't know that Tang Ji is among them, and now Tang Ji has given birth to Li Li, and it's really raw rice for cooking! Sigh!"

After patiently explaining, Dong Cheng let out a long sigh, which made the hearts of the four people in the hall sink, and then five streams of anger surged up, sharing the same hatred with the enemy, and the strong anger filled the entire inner hall.

Thanks to: Book Friends Binghuoji, Human Wall Monthly Pass support, thank you!

The night was deep, and the courtyard was quiet.

The willows in the corner of the backyard floated gently as the breeze blew by.

The young leaves that just grew on the branch swayed with the wind, containing infinite vitality, as if they couldn't wait to grow up.

Two lanterns swayed left and right in the breeze, and the dim light illuminated the bluestone road leading to the study.

Amidst the sound of "creaking", a young man in a brocade robe walked quickly through the Qingshi Road, opened the door and walked into the study.

"Send them all away? Did Gong Wei say anything when he went out?"

The light flickered and fluttered in the breeze when the door was opened, Huang Fusong, who was sitting beside the table, stretched out his hand to block the oil lamp, and asked softly.

The brocade robed man closed the door casually, walked lightly to the left side of the table and sat down, respectfully said: "Father is like a god, uncle told the child in private before leaving, Dong Cheng and others have great plans, let father be careful and act carefully. Involve the whole family."

"Oh?" A trace of surprise flashed across Huangfusong's slightly tired cheeks. After a little hesitation, Gu Zi nodded slightly, and the suspicious eyes were relieved.

He casually took the teacup handed over by Huangfu Li (that is, the man in the brocade robe), Huangfusong took a sip of the tea to moisten his throat, then put down the teacup, stroked his long gray beard habitually, squinted his eyes, which were also gray And the sparse eyebrows drooped slightly, obviously thinking about something.

Huangfu Li raised his head and drank a cup of warm tea. He thought his father (actually his uncle) would say something, but he didn't expect his father to be lost in thought.This made him anxious.To be honest, he was very dissatisfied with the way the Huangfu family handled things and the family situation in the past two years, and he also had some criticisms of Huangfu Song in private.

In Huangfu Li's eyes.Now Li Jue, Li Ru, Li Xuan and others who are active in the court are all opportunistic nouveau riche, just snobbery, and these people are not worth showing off in front of the Huangfu family.The same is true for Li Li, the current hussar general who is in full swing. He stole Dong Zhuo's shadow at a mere age, and after Dong Zhuo was assassinated, he took control of the Xiliang Army in one fell swoop.

And all this started from the marriage of Li and Dong.At that time, Li Li came to prominence.At best, he was the prefect of Wuwei who lived in a remote corner of Liangzhou, but by chance, he took advantage of returning to Beijing to report on his duties to deliberately climb up on Miss Dong's family, while Li Li himself put on a reluctant and hypocritical face.then.Li Li took the opportunity to marry two wives and three concubines, not only marrying Dong Zhuo's most beloved and gentle and beautiful youngest daughter, Dong Wan, through the three engagements, and then transformed himself.Become the hottest and powerful general in the Xiliang Army.

Dong Zhuo was assassinated and killed.Wang Yun seized Chang'an and took control of the temple. Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhang Ji and other generals all supported themselves, while Wuwei Li Li took advantage of the vacancy and regained the remaining forces left by Dong Zhuo in one fell swoop. Dong Yue, Dong Huang After the Dong family almost completely attached to Li Li's command, Xu Rong, Hu Zhen, Yang Ding and other fringe forces also joined Li Li one after another, which made Li Li's mighty army grow rapidly.Then he has the strength to compete with veteran generals such as Li Jue and Guo Si.

Facts have proved that the Chang'an Rebellion.In one fell swoop, the once mighty Dong Zhuo's hegemony was overthrown, the most influential and powerful group of veterans among the veterans of the three dynasties was destroyed, and a large number of old Xiliang generals were severely hit.Li Li of Wuwei, on the other hand, was reaping the benefits. He seemed to be the biggest winner in the Chang'an Rebellion. He won a lot of money and won control of the Xiliang Army in one fell swoop.Li Li, who won the military power of the Xiliang Army, reorganized the Xiliang Army after changing hands, eliminated dissidents, completely replaced the old generals of Xiliang with the generals under the Wuwei Army, and then sent his troops to pacify the two states of Yongliang and Liangzhou, thereby consolidating his position as the commander-in-chief.

In the following two years, the whole territory of Xiliang implemented the strategy of recuperation, protecting the environment and the people, vigorously developing farming, persuading farming and mulberry classes, introducing merchants to Chang'an, encouraging caravans to go to the Western Regions to circulate goods, and opening up the Western Regions trade routes.Over the past two years, the difficult situation in the entire Xiliang territory has been substantially improved, and most people are self-sufficient, and filling their stomachs is not a problem.For this reason, General Wei Li Li's name resounded throughout the land of Xiliang, deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, which greatly consolidated Li Li's dominance over Xiliang.

In fact, in the eyes of the Huangfu family, Li Li's so-called rest and recuperation strategy is nothing more than a trick to buy people's hearts and minds. The Xiliang Army has completely become a powerful force loyal to itself.On this point, many people may not understand the truth and the essence of the matter, but the Huangfu family, who were the founders of the Xiliang Army, saw all this clearly and clearly.

Yes, the judges are right, the Huangfu family is one of the three founders of the Xiliang Army that is currently crowning the world. To be precise, Huangfu Song is actually the most qualified and prestigious to be in charge of the Xiliang Army man of.The founders of the Xiliang Army were the "Three Mings of Liangzhou", namely: Huangfu Gui, styled Weiming; Zhang Huan, styled Ranming; Duan Jiong, styled Jiming.Although the three famous Liangzhou Sanmings had different political opinions, they all dedicated their lives to quelling the Qiang chaos, thus laying the foundation for the Xiliang Army.And Huangfu rule is Huangfusong's uncle, which laid a solid foundation for Huangfusong to take charge of the Xiliang army to quell the kingdom's rebellion. Unfortunately, the military power of the Xiliang army was finally stolen by Dong Zhuo, thus achieving the glorious era of Dong Zhuoquan's power.

Because of this, as early as the death of Emperor Ling, when the world was in chaos, Emperor Ling ordered Dong Zhuo to hand over the Xiliang Army to Huangfusong when he was in danger, but Dong Zhuo refused to obey the order.At that time, Huangfu Li once advised Huangfu Song, saying: "This dynasty is out of power, and the world is hanging upside down. The only ones who can be safe and stable are adults and Dong Zhuoer."

Afterwards, Dong Zhuo led troops to occupy Luoyang, and Huangfu Song led [-] troops to garrison Fufeng County at the right time. Huangfu Li believed that Dong Zhuo was guilty of treason and treachery, and urged Huangfu Song to launch an army crusade.Huangfusong said: "Although Dong Zhuo is guilty of disobedience, I am also responsible for punishing him. It is better to play it upright and let the court handle the matter." At the same time, Dong Zhuo called Huangfusong to be the captain of the city gate, looking for opportunities kill him.Huangfu Song was summoned to join the army, and Chief Shi Liang Yan advised him to raise troops against Dong Zhuo and echoed Yuan Shao.Huangfusong refused to listen, so he led his troops back to Luoyang. From then on, all Xiliang troops fell into Dong Zhuo's hands, making Dong Zhuo no longer scruples, more unscrupulous and reckless.

This is how Dong Zhuo occupied the Xiliang army in the past.Because of a mistake in Huangfusong's mind, he missed the Xiliang army since then, so that Dong Zhuo became a knife and he was reduced to a fish.

During the Chang'an Rebellion, Wang Yun ordered Huangfusong to be the General of Zhengxi, responsible for slaughtering Dong Zhuo's family and other evils, but Huangfusong did not actually execute it, because most of Dong Zhuo's family members had been rescued.Later, someone recommended to Wang Yun that Huangfusong should lead Dong Zhuo's old troops, so that the world could be settled. Unfortunately, Wang Yun thought that Huangfusong let Dong Zhuo's family members go without permission, and felt resentful towards them, so he refused to accept the advice.Therefore, Huangfusong once again lost the opportunity to lead the Xiliang army, so that he never had the opportunity to take control of the Xiliang army.

In fact, it was a fatal mistake for Wang Yun to refuse Huangfusong to lead Dong Zhuo's old ministry, which directly led to the shattering of his long-cherished wish to rejuvenate the Han Dynasty, and eventually cost his life for it.As everyone knows, most of Dong Zhuo's old troops at that time were generals brought together by Huangfusong, or generals recruited by him into the Xiliang Army.For example, Li Jue, who was also from Beidi County, was originally a small school under Huangfu Song's tent; the same was true for Guo Si, Fan Chou and others, and Duan Yao was Duan Jiong's grandson, and he was a family friend with Huangfu's family.In addition, generals such as Hu Zhen and Yang Ding were all generals under Huangfusong's command, but they were attached to the past when Dong Zhuo took over the Xiliang Army.

Therefore, if Wang Yun had agreed to the advice of his colleagues and let Huangfusong lead Dong Zhuo's old army, the world would have been a different situation that day, and perhaps ZTE's Han Dynasty would not have been empty talk.As a result, Li Li did not lose the opportunity to annex the Xiliang Army at all, and many things could not be discussed afterwards.

Huangfusong missed the opportunity to take over the Xiliang Army three times, which directly created the current troubled times.Now, he is getting old and approaching his twilight, he no longer has the ambitions of the past, and he has no mentality to change the court, and he is even more powerless to deal with the chaotic situation in the world.However, the Xiliang army has undergone repeated changes under Li Li's hands. Many old Xiliang generals have passed away one after another or lost their military power. Now all the generals in charge of the army have been replaced by trusted generals trained and appointed by Li Li. The military operation is like an iron barrel, unbreakable.

Looking back at dusk, there is a lot of smog, and the calendar is like smoke.

In just a few years, the Xiliang Army has developed to the situation it is today. The old Xiliang Army has long since changed, and the old scene is gone.Seeing that the Han Dynasty was dying day by day, and the royal family was being bullied, it would be self-deception to say that the Huangfu family had no feelings for it.It can only be said that they are too regretful now, they have nothing to do except sigh and lament, they have more than enough heart but not enough energy.

Huangfusong can face this calmly, because for a person like him who is over sixty years old, he has long been used to the ups and downs of the world, and he knows that the change of dynasties is the general trend, and it cannot be changed by manpower.But for Huangfu Li who repeatedly tried to persuade Huangfu Song to set things right but failed, the situation in front of him was unacceptable, and he suffered a lot in his heart. He often sighed: "I regret it!"

As the night deepened, bursts of coldness invisibly invaded the study, causing Huangfusong to gather his collar, cover his mouth and cough lightly.And these few coughs made him quietly come back to his senses, let go of the smoky past, and return to reality.

After drinking the hot tea from Huangfu Li again, Huangfusong smiled slowly and said: "When people get old, they can't help recalling the past, and they often sit for a long time, with countless thoughts wandering in their minds. People and things. It seems that the time of being a father is numbered, and I can't see you two brothers making contributions!"

"Father, don't say that. The child will feel uncomfortable when he hears it." While speaking, Huangfu Li turned his head and raised his sleeve to wipe away the mist from the corner of his eyes.

Chapter 803

"Father, don't say that, the child will feel uncomfortable when he hears it."

While speaking, Huangfu Li turned his head and raised his sleeve to wipe away the mist from the corner of his eyes.

Huangfusong smiled with relief, and said calmly: "Birth, old age, sickness and death are determined by destiny, Li'er doesn't need to be like this. Before Dong Cheng didn't speak clearly, he only said that my Huangfu family and Gongwei each recruited [-] soldiers, but he didn't reveal what the plan was. Therefore, Weifu only promised him two thousand soldiers, but your Uncle Gongwei did not refuse, and raised three thousand according to his promise. So far, I, Huangfusong, have done my best for His Majesty. I have a clear conscience towards the ancient kings, and I have devoted my allegiance to the great man."

After a pause, Huangfusong breathed a sigh of relief, stared at Huangfu Li, and after a long silence, said quietly: "Father knows that you have always been displeased with what Uncle Li Jue and his nephew are doing, and think that everything they have today Originally, it should belong to our Huangfu family. Is my father right?"

Huangfu Li was shocked when he heard this, and looked at Huangfusong with wide eyes, and was about to speak, but he didn't know what to say.Because Huangfusong saw through all his thoughts and said what he had been brooding on his heart all along, since that was the case, what else could he say.

Seeing Huangfu Li's expression, Huangfu Song shook his head slightly, and sighed softly: "Hey, it seems that the father is right! Li'er, your elder brother has always been weak, and I treat you like my own. I hope you can bear the burden in the future." Take on the important task of the entire Huangfu family and continue the lifeline of the family. However, if you have always held a hostile attitude towards the Li family, then as a father, you can assert at this moment that the Huangfu family will definitely be ruined in your hands, and you will implicate all the clansmen on the road to hell. The way back. Even completely destroyed."

Huangfu Li was horrified when he heard the words, and said in shock, "Why? My son doesn't understand what my father said, why does my son implicate the whole family. Is it because I don't want to be with Li Wenchang?"

"Association? Hehehe, you actually want to say that you are in the same boat?" Huangfusong shook his head and smiled lightly.

Huangfu Li was stunned when he heard the sound, looking at Huangfu Song's kindly smiling face, he didn't seem to blame him, so he just nodded in acquiescence.

Seeing this, Huangfusong nodded slightly, and said slowly: "You dare to admit it. It shows that you have the courage to face failure, which makes my father very pleased. The current situation in Chang'an City is self-evident. The uncle and nephew of the Li family The two reached a consensus and cooperated with each other tacitly. Li Jue ruled the house, was in charge of the capital, and controlled the government. He mediated with all the officials of the Manchu Dynasty. He has always been able to do a job well and has the upper hand. However, his nephew Li Li is the real overlord of Xiliang. But he has been fighting outside with a powerful army. Li Jue, Li Ru, and Li Xuan were all in charge of the government affairs, and he didn't even ask questions unless it was too difficult.

Perhaps ordinary people can't see the mystery hidden here, and mistakenly think that Li Li is lazy and unwilling to take charge of the government, but they don't know that this is the most brilliant point of this son.It can be said to be a good man.The three Lis (Li Jue, Li Ru, and Li Xuan) were in charge of the government, restricting and restraining each other.The safest.But Li Liqi can stay out of the matter, rarely appear in the court, almost never participates in court battles, smiles three-thirds of everyone, is modest and polite, and makes all the veterans itch their teeth, but there is nothing they can do.

At the same time, Li Li was able to free up his hands to concentrate on the war and focus on military affairs.In just a few years, Li Li's son has risen from a mere military marquis to a lieutenant, prefect, general Xiaoqi, general Wei, and now the general Hussar.The Xiliang Army under his command fought from the frontiers of the Western Regions to the Saibei Grassland, and then moved from the grassland to the Central Plains.

With such an outstanding achievement, if I ask myself for my father, I will also sigh.As early as two years ago, my father was also hostile to the Li family's uncle and nephew. I regretted that I didn't listen to your advice and take over the Xiliang army as soon as possible.But in the past two years, being a father has gradually changed his original intention, and occasionally even rejoiced at the original decision. The Xiliang Army in Li Li's hands is far more useful than in my Huangfusong's hands.Now the whole area of ​​Xiliang is peaceful. There has been no war for three years. "

"Ah!" Huangfu Li was shocked when he heard the words, looked at Huangfu Song in disbelief, and said in surprise, "Why does father think so? As father said, Li Li does have the ability to lead troops in battle. He has repeatedly made military exploits, and his achievements are brilliant, but this does not mean that he has the ability to govern the world?"

After a pause, Huangfu Li seemed to have been suppressed for a long time, and he couldn't vomit quickly, but this time he wanted to say all the words that had been accumulated in his heart for a long time.

"The reason why my son has a bad feeling towards the uncles and nephews of the Li family is not because they are in high positions, but because they have evil intentions and try to take over the Han Dynasty. Although they acted pervertedly before, they still had some fears, and to some extent they still had scruples about the majesty of the emperor. , dare not openly bully His Majesty. Now it is better, not only forcibly occupying the concubines and maidservants in the inner court of the palace as concubines, but also wantonly withholding the royal family's supplies, so that His Majesty is too hungry to go to court. This is the current emperor of my majestic Han Dynasty, Could it be that old thief Li Jue is going to starve to death His Majesty?"

"Huhuhu, this is just the reckless behavior of the old thief Li Jue. Let's see what the little thief Li Li did. Relying on his high achievements, the little thief arbitrarily occupied Tang Ji, the widow of the young emperor Liu Bianzhi, trampled on the etiquette of the great man, and was lustful. By nature, he married three wives and eight concubines one after another, and regardless of his background, all those with good looks were included in the family court, he was a womanizer through and through!

Last year, when Li Li returned from a trip in the south of the Yangtze River, he wanted to drive into the city in a luan, and even took His Majesty to greet him at the gate of the city.Afterwards, the son actually abandoned the emperor, and swaggered through the city alone in a Luanjia, until he stopped in front of the imperial palace.With such behavior, no one knows his wolfish ambitions, no one knows that he wants to take the Han Dynasty and replace it, in an attempt to seize the Han Dynasty.

Now, Hangu has fought hard for several months, defeating the nine princes of the Central Plains in one fell swoop, Li Thief will return to the court triumphantly with his victorious army, and then he does not know how to bully His Majesty.What's more, this time Li Thief fought against the allied armies of the lords with his own strength and overwhelmed the heroes with his own strength.If this is the case, my Huangfu family has been favored by the emperor for a long time. If the Han family dies, what face will my Huangfu family have to survive in the world? "
