Crown Tang emperor

However, he was also a little curious in his heart, what kind of reaction would Yang Zhiyi have when facing the young king being so aggressive?Dare to be furious at his father-in-law's funeral, and scold the young king for taking his wife's hatred?

But Yang Juren also had to admit that although the young king was arrogant, he was also really smart. He chose such an opportunity to openly bring his niece to the door to let the Dugu family know that this lady is a child of the royal family.If Yang Zhiyi dared to make another attack, he would offend not only the young king, but also his father-in-law's family.

The carriage moved forward slowly, and there were many visitors on the road who recognized the young king and came forward to salute one after another. When they saw the pretty girl in the same carriage with the young king, they were also curious.

Among them was Shiliu who attended the banquet at the palace last night. Taking advantage of the occasion when he came forward to pay respects, he couldn't help but asked the young king with a smile: "Daughter of Luoyang, do you seem to be here?"

After Li Tong heard the words, he also smiled and nodded slightly.

When the others saw this, they naturally couldn't help whispering and asking, and after they knew what was going on, they all followed the carriage with great interest, looking at the young king and the young girl in the carriage.The young girl is in an unusual posture, and being so tolerated by the king shows the depth of love.

Although in this funeral occasion, it is not solemn to discuss the fact of such romantic charm.But Dugu Qingyun died naturally at nearly ninety years old, and the glory and glory benefited his descendants, it was a real happy funeral, even the Dugu family members rarely looked overly sad, and the other guests were naturally relaxed.

The carriage arrived in front of Dugu's mansion, and a group of Dugu's relatives and disciples were waiting here, including his son-in-law Yang Zhiyi.

Yang Zhiyi was also standing in the crowd completely naked, when he saw the carriage approaching from a distance, he followed the crowd to greet him.

He is not too tall, so he didn't see the situation on the carriage at the first time. After seeing the young king getting off the carriage, the carriage did not stop, but turned around the main entrance and drove towards the side door, only then did he know that the young king brought his family members to the scene. Quite curiously, they turned their heads to look, but after seeing clearly the appearance of the person in the car, they felt a bang in their minds, and they froze in place.

The focus of everyone's attention was on the young king, and naturally no one cared about Yang Zhiyi's abnormality, they all stepped forward to salute the young king, and there was no lack of sincere gratitude in their expressions.

In a family like the Dugu family, the amount of Ai Rong was actually estimated. Now Dugu Qingyun Ai Rong is obviously more than half a standard higher than the normal rituals. Apart from being pleasantly surprised, it is natural to inquire about the reason.After inquiring, I found out that the Emperor of God appreciated the writings of King Hedong, and Aiwu and Wuxia gave more rewards to Dugu's family.

Now the King of Hedong even came to express his condolences in person, there is no reason why the Dugu family would not welcome them.Except for the ordinary children, although the sons of Dugu Qingyun under the mourning tent could not welcome them out in person, they all paid homage to the direction in which the young king walked.

Ordinary hangers-on naturally don't need to do this, but the young king helped them to show their deceased father, which is considered a kindness, and worshiping before the spirit is also a manifestation of filial piety.

Li Tong was surrounded by the crowd and walked into Dugu's mansion, and performed a half-worship in front of the tent, while Yang Juren, who came with him, worshiped in front of the spirit and recited the sacrificial text.

Leaving aside the situation, Yang Zhiyi was still dazed at the moment, and after seeing Yang Juren, his heart was so angry that his body trembled slightly with anger, and his teeth were even clenched.

"What's wrong with Ah Lang? It's inevitable that people will be tired after attending a funeral all day long, but this king is not an ordinary guest, and the Yimen is even more honored. We are honoring the king's kindness, so don't be rude!"

Someone finally noticed Yang Zhiyi's strange behavior, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, but what he said made Yang Zhiyi even more ashamed, but he was startled, and nodded quickly: "It's because of sadness, I'm in a trance, Brother, please rest assured that you will not be rude to others."

Even so, Yang Zhiyi clenched his fists so tightly that his nails and even his palms were scratched.Seeing that the lady of the Tang family who has always been obsessed with him came with the young king and became a family member of the King of Hedong, he was already shocked and angry, but he didn't think too deeply for a while.

But now seeing that Yang Juren has actually become the king of Hedong, he felt even more ashamed, and he was sure that the young king came here to demonstrate to him!

After the condolences were over, Li Tong was led under the tent in front of the porch. Dugu Qingyun's son, Dugu Yuanli, entered from behind the tent, and then thanked the young king: "I have been loyal and diligent all my life, fortunately, thanks to the Lord's grace, I can be blessed." Lu Shuangzhi. It is a pity that the children and grandchildren are so humble that they can use the great king's wonderful pen to publicize their deeds. The family receives this kind of favor, and the common etiquette is not enough to express!"

Dugu Qingyun died at the age of 89, which is regarded as a long life in later generations, and it is even rarer nowadays.As his heir, Dugu Yuanli is also over 60 years old, with gray beard and gray hair, and he looks haggard because of the funeral. Naturally, Li Tong didn't accept his big gift and hurriedly avoided the meeting.

Dugu Yuanli asked his son to come forward to thank him again, so much so that he held Li Tong's feet and kissed the toes of his boots.Li Tong was caught off guard and was almost knocked down. He couldn't complain about the way the Tang people expressed their enthusiasm, so he only saluted Dugu Yuanli: "Xiang Gonggong is from the old man, the name is the old man, and the honor is in the public opinion. Little Wang regrets that he can't pay his respects." The demeanor of a stranger is an elegy for being taught. Apart from sadness, the only one who is a little thin is to send off a hero. I dare not boast and receive a heavy gift! The general is also used as a national weapon, please be careful and mourn."

At such an old age, Dugu Yuanli is not just a dandy enjoying his father's shade, but also serves in the military mansion, and is also the chief of the march that followed Xue Huaiyi to attack the Turks earlier.Seeing that the young king is modest and polite, he has a very good impression of the young king. He respects filial piety and cannot entertain guests, only his nephews must be courteous.

Seeing that the Dugu family was still so enthusiastic during the funeral, Li Tong was embarrassed to just sit and leave, so he simply sat down and met some popular guests at the funeral.

In the official residence of Lintai the day before yesterday, Yuan Xingchong revealed that the Dugu family used to be a slave household. In fact, the Dugu family's in-laws are the Yuan clan of Henan, and they are still the Yuan clan that can be directly traced back to the Northern Wei Dynasty. Compared with Yuan Xingchong One is even more prominent.It can be seen from this that the Dugu family is really a model of counterattack.

So Li Tong naturally got acquainted with several people from the Yuan family, especially when he heard one introduce himself as Yuan Heng and Li Zhen, he couldn't help laughing to himself that this name is really good.Of course, what interests him the most is Yuan Huaijing, the father-in-law mentioned by Kaiyuan's famous minister Zhang.

Chapter 0190 God Emperor power law, the blood of the young king

Standing in the crowd, Yang Zhiyi couldn't tell what it was like seeing the King of Hedong being sought after by all the stars.

Naturally, he didn't dare to step forward to question the King of Hedong, so he could only frequently look at Yang Juren who was standing beside the young king's seat, and signaled Yang Juren to get out and go to a remote place to ask what happened.

Yang Juren naturally noticed Yang Zhiyi's fierce eyes, but he didn't dare to look at him, let alone leave the King's side.He knew that Yang Zhiyi had offended Yang Zhiyi this time, so he could only hold the young king tightly.

Seeing that Yang Juren turned a blind eye to him, Yang Zhiyi felt depressed again, so he simply exited the tent and went straight to the inner hall.

But just as Yang Zhiyi walked out of the mourning hall in front and turned into the courtyard behind the middle hall, he saw his wife Dugu Shi standing alone at the corner of the corridor, staring at him viciously.

Seeing Madam's expression like this, Yang Zhiyi couldn't help but panic, he forced himself to calm down and asked, "Why is the lady here..."

"Where is Fulang going?"

Dugu interrupted Yang Zhiyi's words with a rather cold tone.

"I, I... There is a lot of noise in the vestibule, I'm really tired, I just want to take a nap."

Yang Zhiyi lowered his head to avoid his wife's threatening gaze.

"Aye abandoned his life, and his husband and concubines have been working here for many days, all my filial piety."

After hearing the words, Dugu's tone softened a little, he stepped forward and raised his hand to support Yang Zhi's elbow, and then led him to the back corridor, leading Yang Zhiyi to a remote and uninhabited room, and brought him After sending him into the room, he said: "My husband is resting here, so I won't bother you."

Yang Zhiyi watched his wife leave, waited in the room for a while, then stood up, stepped forward and opened the door, but saw his wife was still standing silently outside the door, his expression suddenly changed: "I, I Yes, lady, you..."

"What does Fulang need? Or do you want to see someone?"

Dugu's eye circles were already red and swollen, but now they widened, and her originally graceful face looked a bit ferocious. She stepped into the room, staring at Yang Zhiyi, and her tone was even more stern: "Old The concubine didn't want to ask more about the dirty things in the past. In a doctor's house, it is common for wives and concubines to be juxtaposed. It is already unfortunate to force others to laugh at others. Today, the husband is still entangled in the past when the funeral ceremony is held at the gate of the court? Where is the concubine?"

Seeing his wife pointing it out directly, Yang Zhiyi didn't evade any more, and said angrily: "As the lady said, it's normal for a married couple and concubines. That daughter of the Tang family who escaped from the previous appointment has already made me laugh. I don't know how to seduce the young king. , you have the guts to come into my eyes again, with such humiliation, what are you, me, and you going to do?"

Before he finished speaking, Yang Zhiyi's face changed drastically, because he saw his wife had already pulled out a dangling short blade from her bosom, his face paled with fright, and his body swayed back a few steps.

Dugu held a dagger in his hand, and his face was filled with grief: "Isn't this humiliation my husband's own fault? It's a scandal that even lowly pawns can't do the family's evil! King Dongdong is kind to my father and brother. Second, it is even more courteous. A concubine can't correct her husband at home, and can't fulfill her filial piety when she returns to the court. "

Speaking ruthless words in his mouth, Dugu had already raised the short blade and stabbed it into the palm of his hand, blood dripped down immediately.

As soon as Yang Zhi saw this, he became flustered, hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed his wife's wrist, and growled in a low voice: "You woman is crazy! I am humiliated, so why are you beautiful? If I laugh in front of my face, I can't bear it." Come down, what face do you have to show up again!"

When Dugu heard the words, he stabbed Yang Zhiyi backhand with the dagger: "I'm a poor concubine, I'd rather bear the crime of killing my husband than guard against an ugly person!"

But after all, she is weak as a woman, so how can she wrestle better than her own husband? Yang Zhi twisted his backhand and snatched the short knife from the woman's hand: "You are a vicious woman! I respect my father-in-law's heroic spirit, and I will bear with you once today." , to fulfill your filial piety. But if you miss today, if you dare to ask me about this again, don’t blame the two families for losing their friendship!”

After finishing speaking, Yang Zhiyi put away the short blade and strode away from the courtyard.After all, he still didn't dare to make a scene in the Dugu family's house, but he really didn't want to stay here any longer, so he simply turned out the side door and asked his family to bring a mount and hit a horse to return to his home.

After returning to Zunxian Square, Yang Zhiyi didn't go home, but went straight to Yang Juren's house, but he saw that the door of Yang Juren's house was closed.

"Why did Bu Que go home?"

A member of the Yang family passed by on the street. Seeing Yang Zhiyi standing in front of Yang Juren's house, he asked curiously and then explained: "Qigong's family is not at home, they are all in Dongfang Hedong Wangdi. I don't know where I got the good luck. But he made fun of the clansmen..."

The people of the tribe babbled and narrated what happened the day before yesterday. Yang Zhi felt even more irritable after listening to it, and went straight to his brother Yang Zhirou's house without responding to the tribe's questioning.

"Is my husband at home?"

After getting off his horse and entering, Yang Zhiyi asked the family members who hurried up to greet him, and when he learned that his elder brother was waiting for guests in the middle hall, he waited angrily in the middle hall.

In the middle hall of Yang's family, Yang Zhirou was dressed in Yanju clothes, and was chatting and laughing with the two or three guests in the hall. Seeing Yang Zhiyi coming to the hall in a panic, his face suddenly sank: "Can the dust outside the door diffuse into the auditorium casually? Get out and change." Come again!"

Yang Zhi was stunned when he heard the words, he waited to see that the people sitting in the hall were Suzheng official Li Sizhen and several high-ranking officials from the Southern Province, they knew they were impolite, so they hurriedly pleaded guilty and withdrew.

"The form of the old "Vientiane" is elegant, but the words are repetitive, and the talent is dull, which is not like the words of the young man. Instead, there are a few miscellaneous songs, which are fresh and lively, and they are witty and elegant..."

Yang Zhirou was still chatting with Li Sizhen and others, and when she saw Yang Zhiyi came back again, she asked again: "I'm not helping my father-in-law, why are you back? Do you need help? I'm sorry for the loss of the national pillar, His Majesty the Emperor." It also hurts my heart, I have blessed many people, and I have loved you a lot, you relatives and disciples who help you should also be careful and calm, don't let people laugh and be rude."

Seeing a few guests in the hall, Yang Zhiyi didn't dare to say even if he was full of complaints, he just dealt with it in a muffled voice.

Seeing this, Yang Zhirou didn't ask any more questions, and started chatting with Li Sizhen and the others again: "This great king is really amazing. Gao Denglintai was originally quite controversial, but the frequent writing of wonderful pens has gradually made people lose sight of it." There is no room for criticism."

After Li Sizhen heard the words, he also sighed and said with a smile: "The old laws of Qi and Liang have been obsessed with the world for a long time, and various literatures have their own works that have faded away, but they dare not praise the past. The article "Luoyang Daughter's Journey" by the King of Hedong is very unrestrained. Within the Lianjue, the idea is beyond the poems, the writing is full of beauty, but there is no pretense, it can be said that it has a natural physique, and it is a rare masterpiece in recent years..."

Yang Zhi had always been full of resentment towards the King of Hedong, and now he heard his brothers gossip that he was still the same person, he felt even more irritable, but he still couldn't help asking: "What is "Luoyang Daughter's Journey"? And I have never been in the library, and I was lucky to be caught by relatives, so I can be such a great critic of you?"

Yang Zhirou was a little displeased when he heard the words, because the guests were present, he just pointed to Yang Zhiyi and sighed: "What you are talking about with Xiantai and others is exactly your kind of ignorant and nonsense! If the level of talent and ambition is only about young age, why should the court care about it?" Let’s set up a law for selecting scholars? In Taiwan province, each of the [-] ministers chooses the old man, so can the government be well-organized and the people harmonious? Evil theory! You, shut up!”

Several people in the hall laughed when they heard this, and one of them couldn't bear to see Yang Zhiyi embarrassed, so he explained to him with a smile: "I don't know Bu Que, that's why I saw this. In fact, before hearing the news, who would I can assure you that this great king really has extraordinary literary talent. What I said today was a new poem written by the king at the palace gathering last night..."

While speaking, the man recited the song "Luoyang Daughter's Journey".But it's okay not to explain, after the explanation, Yang Zhiyi's face turned red immediately, his chest heaved violently, he suddenly stood up from the table, stomped his feet angrily and left.

Seeing this scene, all the guests including Yang Zhirou were stunned for a moment, and the atmosphere became extremely awkward for a moment.

As soon as Yang Zhi returned to his residence, he was so angry that his head was a little dizzy. Everything he could grab in the room was smashed vigorously, and the whole room was filled with crackling noises.

After Yang Zhirou comforted the guests and sent the gifts out of the house, he returned to the back house, stood outside the door and heard Yang Zhiyi's smashing and roaring inside, and became even more angry, shouting angrily: "Give me the He caught it! Where did he have the guts to ruin my appearance so much!"

Two strong slaves rushed into the room without turning their heels, and Yang Zhiyi, who was in a panic, was caught with his arms turned and brought down the corridor. Looking at his brother who was also furious, Yang Zhiyi shouted: "Brother, you are so elegant! Do you know?" , that kid has bullied my family even..."

"Where did you provoke the epileptic? What are you talking about!"

Seeing him like this, Yang Zhirou stepped forward and slapped him twice.

After being beaten twice, Yang Zhiyi seemed to calm down a little bit, and bitterly told the whole story.

"Is there such a thing?"

Yang Zhirou also frowned after hearing the words, Nianxu was silent for a moment, then pointed at Yang Zhiyi and said angrily: "Ju Ren is originally from the family, I have always told you not to have close relationships with him, you listened again How much? Now that you are harmed by him, you didn't cause it yourself?"

"Brother, I will accept whatever punishment I have. But, but the young king bullied me and humiliated me, I really can't swallow it!"

"Is it bad breath, or is it hard to give up?"

Yang Zhirou looked at his brother with an irritable expression on his face: "So you ignored your father-in-law's funeral and took the house home? Not to mention that this is a scandal that cannot be taken by force, because of a trivial matter, you hate me as a respectful relative, you At this age, you have grown up on a dog? Is it worth losing your modesty for doing things like a mere plaything? "

"But the young king insulted me..."

"Where do you deserve people not to dare to insult you? The young king respects my family status and is at ease. He treats his relatives with courtesy, expresses his leisure with poems, accepts my disciples as scum, cuts off the source of your accusations, and lays out everything first. How often do you bark?"

Yang Zhirou looked at Yang Zhiyi who still looked ashamed and annoyed, and sighed: "But there are one or two people who appreciate it, but you are in such a miserable state, if I were a woman, I wouldn't feel attached to you! Go back and change your clothes, and I will send you to your husband's house."

Yang Zhiyi was still a little bit reluctant, but seeing that his elder brother was really angry, he didn't dare to be stubborn anymore, so he could only go back to the room with a dejected face and put on the plain linen robe he just took off.

Yang Zhirou stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, twirling his beard with his hands, and his expression was somewhat complicated: "You are strange, you are strange, a child who has been imprisoned for a long time, how did he learn so many tricks of power? The blood is taught, and the children are not old enough. Kind of like that, the grandson is so excited!"

Chapter 0191

Prime Minister Yang Zhirou came to the door, the Dugu family also did not dare to neglect, just like the King of Hedong, they sent their children to lead a car out of the square to welcome them, while the others waited in front of the mansion.

Seeing this, Li Tong went out together. Seeing Yang Juren's worried face behind him, he said with a smile: "The prime minister has the capacity to tolerate others. The relationship between the secretary and Mr. Yang is the same, as long as the etiquette is thorough." , why be afraid of others."

Hearing this, Yang Juren forced a smile on his face: "My servant Jing Cong, don't worry about anything else."

While speaking, Yang Zhirou's carriage had already arrived in front of the Dugu family's house. After the carriage stopped, he pushed Yang Zhiyi who was walking beside the carriage, and reprimanded him: "Quickly enter the door and wait for it. Don't tire your brother to be proud." The name."

When he said this, it seemed that Yang Zhiyi forced his elder brother to come to express his condolences in order to save face for his father-in-law's family.

The Dugu family naturally did not know the inside story, and did not suspect Yang Zhiyi's departure.Li Tong saw this scene in his eyes, and looked at the two brothers meaningfully. Yang Zhiyi lowered his head and didn't look at him at all, while Yang Zhirou smiled and nodded at him.

After expressing condolences, Yang Zhirou was also welcomed into the court under the curtain, and sat at the guest table with the young king. He put his hands together and greeted the young king slightly: "The words are hurtful, and the words are written in haste, so that the king can laugh."

"The meaning is strong and affectionate, so there is no need for grammatical pretense."

Li Tong replied with a smile, and he couldn't help but feel that Yang Zhirou was able to get into the position of prime minister, and his self-cultivation was not bad.

However, as soon as this thought flashed through, Yang Zhirou started to get angry, he pointed to Yang Juren who was standing behind the young king's seat, and said with a half-smile: "There are many people in my family, I am also a state affairs, and I occasionally take care of you less. A bit succinct and often self-ashamed. People in the past may not know it, but they can still pretend to be self-decorating. Today, the king picks up his talents and uses them to fill the palace, but it makes me dare not look at the United States and the country.”

When Yang Juren heard this, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, he stepped forward and stood between the two seats, he was embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.

After hearing the words, other people under the tent looked at Yang Zhirou and King Hedong curiously.Before Yang Zhirou didn't come, they still had a lot of polite greetings to Yang Juren, now it seems that Yang Zhirou seems to be a little dissatisfied with the young king because of this.

"Master Gao is in charge of the southern province, and his wishes are all important matters. The relationship between people and relationships in the door pavilion is also not dare to take the liberty to disturb."

Li Tong raised his finger and pointed at Yang Juren, and replied with a smile: "Xiao Wang is backward in humanity, has experienced a lot of hardships, and owes his predecessors not to make troubles in personnel matters, so he does not reveal his superficiality in dealing with others, and how dare he boast of his wisdom. A few days ago, a new child was recruited in the house, and after inquiring, I found out that I have such a relationship with the noble family. The relationship was urgent, and I forced Yang Lingyi to invite me to be a guest. I was greedy for the reputation of this famous family, and I was too timid to analyze it."

Hearing this, Yang Zhirou was silent for a while, then looked at Yang Juren again and said: "Your Majesty Yashang, you also have to appreciate this intention, work diligently, don't let me down, don't let my family reputation down."

Yang Juren first glanced at the young king, and when he saw the young king nodded slightly, he went to Yang Zhirou's table and said respectfully: "Your Excellency's admonishment, Ju Ren will remember it deeply."

Skipping this matter aside, Yang Zhirou turned to talk about other things, and the atmosphere under the tent also eased.

While chatting casually with people, Li Tong couldn't help feeling that Yang Zhirou was really as good as his name said, and he was kind of gentle in doing things for others, and he didn't have the toughness to stick to the end, or he just regarded it as an insignificant little thing, Not seriously pursued.

In fact, by bringing Yang Juren into his residence and taking part in an occasion like today, Li Tong himself was diverting the conflict, actively creating a way for the Yang family to make things difficult for him, focusing on Yang Juren, and thus taking away the young lady of the Tang family. Come out without being discussed.

Hongnong Yang's famous family in the country is not a family without a name. As a patriarch, Yang Zhirou has a certain degree of restraint on the behavior of the clan members.Without his permission, it would be wrong for Yang Juren to submit to the government.After all, it's not the beginning of the country anymore, Wang Guoguanzuo is really not a decent job.

But having said that, a person who can be a prime minister under his grandmother is too strong and prone to danger.Most of the people who can get along well from beginning to end are not sharp-edged characters.

Li Tong had made a lot of preparations for the Yang family's possible troubles, but seeing that Yang Zhirou seemed to have no intention of continuing to pursue the troubles, he felt that one thing more was better than one thing less, and he didn't feel any sense of loss.

After all, in the political system of the Tang Dynasty, the power of the prime minister should not be underestimated.Don't look at his grandma killing the prime minister, it seems quite easy to pick up the knife one by one, but Li Tong still hasn't reached that level after all.

If he really wanted to have any serious feud with a prime minister, it would not be as simple as getting rid of Qiu Shenji. What he had to face was definitely not an individual, and he had to be ready to be beaten by the crowd every minute.

Sitting at Dugu's house until the evening, Li Tong got up to say goodbye, and made an appointment to set up a road sacrifice when Dugu Qingyun returned to Guanzhong for burial in the future.

Dugu's family is very friendly to him, and this is also the actual development of contacts. Just now under the curtain, listening to Yang Zhirou chatting with Dugu Yuanli, the words imply that they want to wait for an opportunity to win lonely Yuanli back.

After all, Dugu Yuanli is not young anymore, if he really wants to mourn for three years, unless he can live as long as his father, his political life will basically be over.

Dugu's family is a real Xunwu family, and most of the children work in the northern and southern yamen.According to Li Tong's current range of communication, the possibility of contacting such a family is extremely slim.Now that there is such an opportunity, there is no reason to miss it. Even if it is useless now, it will always be used in the future. It is worth maintaining the relationship.

Yang Zhirou also got up to leave together, and after leaving Daodefang, invited the young king to return to the house with the car, and Li Tong did not refuse.

After the two important guests left, the other guests also left one after another, including Yuan Huaijing, the Dugu family's in-law.

Returning to his own mansion, Yuan Huaijing ordered his family: "Go and invite Zhang Lang to your home."

Half an hour later, a rather burly young man in his early twenties was brought in by his family. It was Yuan Huaijing's son-in-law Zhang Shuo.
