Chapter 89 Changes in Chang'an (5)
Li Youliang drank too much horse urine, and regardless of the occasion, he began to angrily complain about Li Yuan, vomiting out all the grievances he had accumulated for many days. He spoke like a victim, completely forgetting that when Li Yuan rebelled and entered Guanzhong, the Li family was jumping up and down.
Ugly.
Without Li Yuan, Li Youliang would be nothing.
Li Youliang was overjoyed, and Changsun Chang on the side also found an opportunity to drive a wedge between the two.
Li Youliang was not very clear-headed yet, so after listening to Chang Sun Chang's words, he said, "What good ideas does Xiu Ming have?"
Even though he asked this question, Li Youliang didn't expect to get any help from Changsun Chang. In this situation, unless a magic weapon descends from heaven, even the gods can't save it.
Changsun Chang then said: "Speaking of the defeat of the King of Tang, it is the King of Tang's business, but it may not involve the Duke."
Li Youliang burst into laughter upon hearing this.
"Xiu Ming, why are you so naive? Yang Xuangan rebelled, and Yang Guang killed all the men of the Yang family. Li Shude and I are the same father, and we are generals under Li Shude. Do you think Huang Mingyuan will spare us?
?”
Although Huang Mingyuan was an enemy, Li Yuan never called him by his first name, and Li Tang mostly addressed him as Duke Wei.
As for Li Youliang, he really didn't have any awe in his heart, and he would call Huang Mingyuan by his first name. However, Li Youliang was right. Others might be spared, but the Li family would definitely not even think about it.
The whole family of rebels was punished. This was to serve as a warning to others. No one could say no.
Changsun Chang heard this and also smiled and said: "The Duke knew this but didn't know why. He didn't know that the Duke knew about the affairs of Sheyanghou, Pinggaohou and Taohou during the conflict between Chu and Han."
Li Youliang was a libertine, and it may be clear to talk about romantic affairs, but this ancient history book is completely unreasonable.
"What do you know or don't you know? What do these three people do?"
Changsun Chang said: "When Chu and Han were fighting, these three people were in the same situation as the prince."
Li Youliang was stunned and became interested.
"This is serious, please tell me immediately."
Changsun Chang continued: "In the past, the Chu and Han Dynasties fought, and Liu Bang and Xiang Yu fought for the world. Xiang Yu was defeated by Liu Bang, retreated steadily, his power was scattered, his clan collapsed, and he was on the verge of defeat.
This Marquis of Sheyang was Xiang Bo who was at the Hongmen Banquet, Xiang Yu's uncle.
Xiang Yu Gaixia was defeated, and the Han army surrounded Pengcheng, the capital of Western Chu. The entire Xiang clan was facing annihilation. At this time, Xiang Bo assessed the situation and led the Xiang clan in Pengcheng to surrender, avoiding the massacre by the Han army.
Opportunity. In order to win people's hearts, Liu Bang pardoned all the Xiang clan's relatives in Western Chu, gave them the surname Liu, and made Xiang Bo a prince and granted him the title of Sheyang County. Nine years later, Xiang Bo was
Died of illness and died of illness.
This Pinggaohou was named Xiang Tuo, and he was the son of Xiang Yu's cousin. He once served as the Prime Minister of Wei, the Zhuguo of Western Chu, and the governor of Dang County. He surrendered with Xiang Bo and was finally named Pinggaohou. By the time of his great-grandson,
This title is still passed down.
As for Tao Hou, he is even more powerful.
Taohou Xiang Xiang surrendered to Liu Bang in Dingtao and was granted the title of Lieutenant. After he surrendered to Liu Bang, he lived for thirty-five years.
There are not many stories about Xiang Xiang, but his son is very powerful. His legitimate son Xiang She, during the reign of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, served as a servant, a censor, and a prime minister. His title was also passed down to his great-grandson.
Xiang She was able to become prime minister because the Liu family remembered Xiang Xiang's surrender.
As for the other descendants of the Xiang family, countless people obtained high positions and titles after surrendering to Liu Bang..."
Li Youliang actually didn't understand so many official positions and characters, but he still understood the general meaning. Several relatives of Xiang Yu surrendered to Liu Bang and then gained important positions.
Li Youliang was cruel, but not stupid. He quickly realized what Changsun Chang meant.
"Xiu Ming, that's not right. You want me to be Xiang Bo."
Changsun Chang did not panic after hearing this. He also smiled and said: "The Duke is joking, how dare Chang. The incident about the three people of Marquis Sheyang in the past is just a story, and Duke Bo can just laugh."
Today, the land in Guanzhong is as safe as a mountain, and the old stories of Chu and Han are nothing but jokes."
Li Youliang was also sober at this time. He thought, regardless of Changsun Chang's intentions, this is still a way.
As mentioned before, Li Youliang lacked a sense of awe. He was used to following gangsters, libertines, and knights. His father and several brothers died early, and there was no one to teach him. Therefore, Li Youliang became
, extraordinarily self-centered, sensitive and cruel, suspicious, and will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, without any sense of the overall situation or rules.
At this time, Li Youliang was not angrily scolding eldest Sun Chang, or even pretending to be so. Instead, he asked with a playful smile: "Xiu Ming, I remember that your third brother Sun Jisheng and Huang Mingyuan are related to each other. I heard that eldest grandson Jisheng's daughter married Huang Mingyuan.
The eldest son, Huang Mingyuan and his son will become emperors in the future. Your eldest grandson's family may not have a queen.
If you don't want to break up the relationship in advance, it's better to follow Li Shude and worry about it."
Changsun Chang quickly leaned forward and said: "The Duke's words are serious. To eat the emperor's salary is to be loyal to the emperor. The matter between the Changsun family and Duke Wei is a personal relationship. Serving the king of Tang is a public matter. Public and private affairs cannot be confused."
"Xiu Ming, why bother to lie to me? This is not you. Don't worry, I won't tell Li Shude."
Li Youliang's understanding smile made it difficult for Changsun Chang to say anything more.
At this time, Li Youliang suddenly asked again: "I have an irreversible friendship with Xiu Ming, and I know that Xiu Ming will not harm me. In the current situation in Guanzhong, if the tree falls and the hozens disperse, I have to fend for myself. If the time comes,
We have to rely on Xiu Mingduo to take care of Duke Wei."
"Your Majesty, you are really exaggerating. How can I talk to you about each other?"
Li Youliang smiled and didn't say much.
"Xiu Ming, tell me the truth. If I really defect to Duke Wei, how will Duke Wei deal with me and the Li family?"
Changsun Chang was silent for a while, and then said: "Since the Duke trusts Chang, Chang will speak frankly to the Duke. If the city of Chang'an is destroyed, everything will stop. Even if there is a battle in Chang'an, there will be no room for change. Notes
, that is, Duke Wei wanted to be open to the Li family network, but after all, he was far away in Hebei and beyond his reach.
There are more than 100,000 troops in this pass, and every one of them is not working hard to achieve meritorious deeds.
A county prince's head, no matter what, can be exchanged for a lot of merit. At that time, even if the county prince wants to surrender, no one will make him surrender.
If someone dies in the chaos of the army, even Duke Wei can't blame him."
When Li Youliang heard this, his back felt a little chilly.
"Unless the Duke is like Xiang Bo and offers the city before the Sui army attacks the city, so as not to give the Sui army a chance to take action. And the Duke of Wei has a good reputation. If the Duke of Wei offers the city, the Duke of Wei will have to buy horse bones for thousands of gold.
Give the Duke a heavy reward."
Li Youliang nodded.
