Chapter 1147: son of heaven
Chapter 1147 One Day Son of Heaven
"got windy!"
Yelang County Duke Xie Longyu's voice was hoarse with exhaustion, "Has Facheng come back?"
Standing behind him were several men in green clothes, all of whom were descendants of the Xie family in Juzhou. In the third year of Wude, Xie Longyu was the first leader in central Guizhou who sent his sons into the court and returned them with soil. He was enfeoffed as the governor of Zangzhou and the Duke of Yelang County, and his children were appointed as the governors of Chongzhou, Yingzhou, Juzhou, Zhuangzhou, and Yanzhou.
In the third year of Zhenguan, Xie Longyu personally led each branch of the Xie family in central Guizhou to Chang'an to meet the emperor, and was also rewarded generously.
The Xie family in central Guizhou, the Tian family in the north of Wujiang River, and the Zhao family in the west are all Han Chinese noble families who have migrated south since the Western Han Dynasty in central Guizhou. After thousands of years of development, they have grown in power.
"Did the families of Dongxie in Yingzhou, Nanxie in Zhuangzhou, and Xixie in Yanzhou reply?"
In central Guizhou, although the Tang Dynasty government has been implementing land reform for several years, Xie Yuanshen, the leader of the Eastern Xie, Xie Qiang, the leader of the Southern Xie, and Xie Shan, the leader of the Western Xie, have also been transferred away from their original places, but the Xie family is still in the middle of Guizhou. The authority in the central region is still there, and if they stomp their feet, the entire central Guizhou region will still be shaken three times.
Among all the branches of the Xie Clan, Xie Longyu, Duke of Yelang County, is the head of the family. Although the Xie Clan has many branches, they all obey Xie Longyu's orders.
Xie Facheng came in wearing Mingguang armor, young and heroic, this is Xie Longyu's son, and also the future patriarch of the Xie family.
In the third year of Wude, Xie Facheng went to Chang'an with an envoy to meet Tang Gaozu, and then stayed in Chang'an. In the third year of Zhenguan, his father Xie Longyu led all Xie to Beijing to meet the emperor and then returned. the taste of.
He always walks so upright, this is the habit he left behind from Ren Yiwei in the left back. Compared with his brothers who act impatiently, Xie Facheng always speaks in a calm and orderly manner. Can easily persuade others.
"Have you met King Qi?"
Xie Facheng smiled and said, "Well, that's just a dandy who treated the rebellion as a playing game, and looked condescending when he saw me, so he 'very generously' rewarded me as a general of Shangzhu Kingdom and Zuowei, and also gave me the title As for me, Duke Ke, I just fooled him a few words, and he really thought that Mrs. Xie wanted to support him."
"A hopeless fool!" He commented on Li You.
A few of Xie Zi’s young disciples laughed and said, “Fifth brother, don’t you feel tempted? It’s so easy to get this high-ranking official!”
Xie Facheng smiled and said, "It's a worthless thing, and it's too much to count. After I promised him that the Xie family would call up all the troops to respond to him, he even said that he would give me Bozhou in the north as the land of the world. , let me seal Yongzhen forever."
"Why didn't he give you Yizhou or Kunzhou?" Xie Longyu turned and sat down.
"He sealed the Kunzhou promise to you, father."
Everyone burst into laughter, no one would take these rewards seriously, if these rewards were sealed by the emperor in Luoyang, then everyone would be so excited that they would not be able to sleep, Xie Longyu would take out fine wine and let everyone drink for three days and three nights.
But that's just a stupid hairless kid saying it.
"Have you heard about the court's movements?"
"I heard that the emperor has issued an imperial edict to confer the title of Qin Taibao as the general manager of rebellion and anti-rebellion and the governor of Zhennan, Zhang Shigui as the deputy commander of the march, Liu Dewei, the minister of the Ministry of punishment, temporarily acting as the governor of Dongning, and all the soldiers in central Guizhou and surrounding areas. Ma, and under the control of Qin Taibao, the Taibao is coming!"
Hearing that it was Qin Lang who commanded the army to quell the chaos, everyone in the Xie clan gasped in surprise.
"It seems that this farce will be settled soon." Someone said.
Xie Longyu glanced at the son and shook his head, "Don't you really want to wait until Wei Guogong personally comes to clean up this mess? Then don't we people look very useless? Then you won't be afraid that Wei Guogong will take the opportunity to clean up us too ?”
"I can't wait anymore, it's time to do it."
Xie Facheng nodded. In fact, the major families in central Guizhou have not had a good time in the past few years. Under the powerful and high-pressure deterrence of the imperial court, each family can only compromise and surrender. It was forced to agree to reform the land and return it to the local people.
Rudong Xie Yuanshen was originally the governor of Yingzhou, and was later played by Qin Lang as the governor of Weining. Xie Yuanshen, who originally followed Zhang Shigui in the conquest of Dongcuan, led the army, but in the end he didn't dare to fart, so he could only accept it honestly.
The other branches of the Tian family, the Zhao family, and the Xie family all had similar results, so they had to compromise and surrender.
For example, Xie Longyu was originally the governor of Zangzhou, but he was also transferred last time and was awarded the title of governor of Juzhou, but this Juzhou is also the residence of the Dongning Governor's Mansion, so his governor of Juzhou actually has a lot of water, but Xie Longyu still Gotta thank you.
Fortunately, the imperial court's reform of the land in central Guizhou in the past few years did not mean that they would not leave them a way to survive. Roads were built, commerce became more prosperous, mines, tea farms, pastures, etc. sprang up, and the income of various tycoons such as Shi Xiezhao increased greatly.
On the other hand, although the positions of hereditary local leaders have changed in the past, after all, the imperial court has also changed places for them. He also got a world title, although this world title is far inferior to the local emperors like them before, but it was granted by the imperial court after all, so there is still some guarantee.
The strength is not as good as others, so he can only passively accept these changes. It's just that he dreams back at midnight, and he will be somewhat unwilling.
As the first leader who voluntarily joined the Tang Dynasty, Xie Longyu had a keen eye. He was not deceived by Li You's words, but instead sent his son to lie to Li You. Why?
Of course not for those false and useless official promises, but just to avoid getting into trouble in this farce. It would be even better if I could make some minor contributions.
"I don't want to be meritorious, but I want to have no faults."
The power of the Tang Dynasty is at its peak, and the Cuan family in the west is so arrogant. Although the history is far inferior to the few big families in central Guizhou, the Cuan family was far above them in terms of strength.
But now?
Yunnan has changed.
Dong Cuan was uprooted, and even the Wuman tribes in the Wumeng Mountains were subdued by the imperial court. As for Xi Cuan, they had already been dismantled and scattered. Yes, most of them have now been moved to the Erhai Lake area to suppress Heman. As for the Dianchi Lake area, the former headquarters of the Cuan family, it is now under the rule of the Zhengzhou of the Tang Dynasty.
There are precedents like the Cuan family, and the experience of the dog-licking Nanzhao king who once knelt and licked the Tang Dynasty but failed to save his head. The old Xie Longyu does not want to repeat the same mistakes.
"Do you know who will succeed Li You and be granted the title of Dongning Mansion?"
"I heard it is Cao Wang Li Ming."
The old patriarch pondered for a long time, but in the end he could only sigh. Li You rebelled. It seems that the sky in central Guizhou will not change, but it will give the court more reasons to strengthen its control over central Guizhou.
Especially this time, Qin Lang was the one who quelled the rebellion. He just passed by in the middle of Guizhou, and tossed the deep-rooted tyrants in the middle of Guizhou.
For example, Xie Yuanshen of Yingzhou was transferred to be the governor of Weining, and the governor's mansion of Weining was newly established. It was originally the Wuman land to which Dongcuan in Yunnan belonged. Taking advantage of the trend, Xie Yuanshen was appointed as the governor.
Then he promoted Yingzhou to the lower governor's mansion, and then appointed the general Yuan Zhulin he brought as the governor, and kept the soldiers and horses. Through this exchange method, Qin Lang turned Guizhou upside down.
Although the territorial management of each family is hundreds or even thousands of years old, after such a transfer, it still has a great impact.
"Do you want to notify the Zhao family and the Tian family?"
"You can't tell them. These guys are more treacherous than the other. Do you think they will do stupid things? Only Li You is really stupid, and none of the others are stupid. We have to hurry up, or else, I'm afraid they will do something stupid first." gone."
Xie Longyu still has some advantages over the other families, because he is the governor of Juzhou now, and he is in Guirenfeng City Walled City in Guishan at the moment, only five miles away from the city.
And around Juzhou, there are also various branches of the Xie clan. Although the leaders of the Xie clan have been transferred to other places in recent years, either to the old place of the Cuan clan in Yunnan, or to the Zhao clan's territory in the west, or It is on the territory of the Si family in the north, but the base camps have been operating for thousands of years, and they still have strong strength.
"It is not necessary to kill Li You, the son only needs to bring a team of servants to take him down!" Xie Facheng said.
In the end, the old leader just sneered twice.
Xie Facheng came to his senses immediately, taking down Li You so easily would not show how powerful they are, let alone their credit.
Xie Shi had to make a big move.
It's just that he is a little worried, whether it will be too big to do so, and it will be bad if it causes a bad misunderstanding.
······
Dongning Governor's Mansion.
Li You was still drinking, drunk and dreaming.
Yan Hongliang hugged a beautiful woman in one arm, held a wine glass in the other, and said arrogantly, "Qin Lang claimed to be the **** of war, but he didn't meet me, so don't worry about it, I'm holding the wine glass in my right hand, and I'm holding a knife in my left hand to kill him .”
Yin Hongzhi also said, "The imperial court has long aroused people's resentment towards the tyrants in central Guizhou for reforming the land and returning them to foreign countries. We raised our arms and raised our arms, and now everyone responds. The Tian family in the north, the Xie family in the middle east, The Zhao clan in the southwest have all sent people to support the king, we have hundreds of thousands of people, and with the danger of mountains and rivers in central Guizhou, we can completely keep Qin Lang out of the door."
Li You laughed loudly when he heard this, and he was very proud with his arms around the princess.
Drunk to some extent, Li You said, "Since the emperor does not recognize my son, then I don't need to leave any room for it. You say, I just ascend the throne and call myself emperor."
"Lao Tzu also calls himself the Son of Heaven, the founding of the country and the change of Yuan!"
The false kings Yin Hongzhi and Yan Hongliang applauded in unison. Anyway, they also knew that they had embarked on a road of no return, and they knew in their hearts that it was a dead end. Everything now is just the last madness.
It's ridiculous, but Li You is really arrogant and stupid.
"Okay, then respect the emperor of Luoyang as the supreme emperor, and I will be the emperor!" Li You slammed the table and roared with a ferocious face.
