[Plane] History of the struggle of the lords

Before the arrival of Yangchun, the cold winter has passed.

Thirty-nine days in Dadu have passed, and the dripping water drops after the ice edges under the eaves tiles melted reflect the warm sunlight, revealing a different kind of light.

Although the surroundings are barren, there is a dead tree with proudly stretched branches in the courtyard that has sprouted new shoots, and the tender yellow-green clusters on the top, blooming tiny dust-like flowers.On the wet bluestone road, you can vaguely distinguish the stamen petals that have been trampled on and are still tough. The sparse and sticky seeping into the soil beside the stone slabs has become nourishment, making the weeds that should not have emerged so early be abnormal on both sides of the road. Lush heads held high.

I don't know what kind of flower it is, but this tree is the only vibrant color after Wen Le wakes up.At this moment, he was clutching a thin cloak, sitting cross-legged on the only dry boulder under the bushes, looking up at the life that was blooming but as light as a feather at the top of the branch.

As an authentic southerner and a native of the extreme southern region, it was the first time for Wen Le to see such a magnificent snow scene.Snowflakes fell from the haze-shrouded sky one after another, and without knowing where it started, a thick layer was accumulated in an instant.In those few days, the sound of bamboo brushing and sweeping snow in the courtyard was endless, making him unable to sleep late at night due to the noise.Fortunately, he was injured, and the doctor mixed two qian keels into the medicine prescribed to make him sleep peacefully. Slowly, he was not so tired that he couldn't even get out of bed.

The damp and cold air he smelled at the end of his nose made him more energetic, and he pondered a little sadly why he came to this weird place for no reason.

It was just driving a car and circling ups and downs in the mountains, as if the eyes were dark, and when I woke up again, I had a dream for a thousand years, breaking into this era that was not even recorded in the history books.

In the 36th year of the Dali Dynasty, the first emperor passed away within half a year, and the crown prince died suddenly in Jinling. The second prince, Prince Xiao of Dadu, ascended the throne, changed his name to Yuande, and pardoned the world.

And the place where he was located was the residence of the Prince Taifu, the imperial censor Wen Deping.His identity is one of the grandsons of this great official - Wen Xianle, the only son of the concubine's third master's first wife, the second young master of the third bedroom.

After a few months, he has figured out his current situation.The old man of the Wen family had been bedridden since the news of the prince's sudden death came back to Dadu, and passed away two or three days after the new emperor ascended the throne.Of the remaining three-family children and grandchildren, two concubines and one concubine, only the third-family concubine has the highest official rank.Wen Xianle's father, Wen Qi, was then the envoy of the Huaihe River and the Huaihe River to transport salt.Although the remaining two lords have been fighting for the position of civil servants for many years, they have not entered the cabinet.Eldest Master Wen Zhi is one of the editors of the Hanlin Academy, while the Second Master is slightly better. His son inherited his father's career as a censor, but he is only a fourth-rank supervisory censor. Prestige is incomparable.

Prince Xindi Xiao is brave and good at fighting. At the age of 12, he followed the emperor to fight in the battlefield and conquered the vast land in the northwest.Although his superior position is expected by some people, but after all, the name is not right, and most people who really know the inside story keep it secret.

At this moment, there is a strange atmosphere in Dadu.Although the court has shown a new look, the capable and veteran officials can't see the encouragement and joy.In the past, the prince's gang had no leader, and they were in a mess. Everyone was in danger, for fear that the new emperor with a bad reputation would use the knife. When the old emperor was in power, the arrogant prince did not give his younger brothers much face.

Among them, the one with the most dangerous position is the Wen family. The Wen family has four generals, all of whom serve in the court.Because of Mrs. Wen's background as the prince's Taifu, most people also acquiesced that this family is the prince's servants.At the beginning, when the crown prince had many conflicts with Prince Xiao, the family also confronted the princes' Qing Kemen against each other.

As soon as the prince was killed, the old man wisely let go.The funeral was done carefully and sadly in the filial piety of the old emperor and the crown prince. The cries of a family of old and young women resounded throughout the sky, which made the new emperor, who couldn't wait to do it, feel devastated.After all, the Wen family was an old official, and the old man had been helping the old emperor wholeheartedly before he ascended the throne, so he was so clean that he was a bit pedantic.However, in the Dali Dynasty, he also enjoyed a great reputation because of this, and was hailed by the people as the "iron face and blue sky" - from the princes and county kings to the traffickers and pawns, as long as he had evidence, he would dare to participate.

The left and right arms that Prince Xiao used to rely on so much were folded under his three-inch tongue.This is also one of the battles where the two sides formed a bridge, and now it has become a reminder for the Wen family.

The death of Mrs. Wen made the Wen family temporarily safe, but the new emperor, whose daughter-in-law became a wife for many years, naturally couldn't easily let go of his old enemy who was now under his control.

Before the old man's filial piety period had passed, he pointed the finger at another pillar of the Wen family following the old man—the third master of the Wen family, Wen Qi.

Before the prince's sudden death, he was appointed by the old emperor to inspect the salt administration in Lianghuai.Hearing the sad news of the late emperor's death, he immediately set off to drive towards Dadu, but in the end he was a step behind and died in Jinling.

What kind of relationship is there, anyone with a discerning eye can see clearly.However, the new emperor listed 38 crimes, intending to frame Wen Qi as a chaotic man, disasters abound, people's livelihood changes, and misery is unspeakable.Even the death of the crown prince had something to do with him.

The Wen family has been in business for many years, and the emaciated camels are bigger than horses, so news from the palace has been spread.In this way, everyone in the Wen family was naturally in a state of panic, just waiting for the day when the head would fall to the ground.

However, at this moment, things changed suddenly.

The third master of the Wen family handed a memorial to Dadu, expressing his admiration and loyalty to the late emperor and prince.Another example is to count the various feats of Mr. Wen since the founding of the country to show the hard work and noble character of the Wen family.

When the new emperor heard it in the court hall, he was furious and wished to kill the family immediately, but he changed the subject and talked about his wife, children and mother.

When there was an uproar in the court, there was news from Lianghuai.It turned out that Wen Qi had calculated the date correctly, and before the memorial was handed over to the holy case, he cut himself off with three feet of white silk in his mansion in Huainan.There are also two copies of the book, one is for the widow, wife, children and mother, who claim to be unkind and unfilial, and were born in vain.

A letter to the new emperor, only saying that he was wholeheartedly loyal to the late emperor, and only willing to devote himself to the late emperor until his death.However, the late emperor died in the end. He realized that he had no interest in life, so he decided to kill himself. He only hoped that the body could be buried with the late emperor's belongings, and that he could still do his best for his confidant in the ground.

After the news spread, the whole country was shocked!

Not to mention the Dali dynasty, even the previous dynasties, when counted in detail, have already abolished the express regulations on burial.Wen Qi is the first courtier in hundreds of years who is willing to hang himself for the old master!

It would be fine if he was unknown, but he was still the most in-demand poor master in the ruling and opposition parties, managing the salt administration of Lianghuai.Beckoning easily, there are countless wealth and glory in front of you.The wife in the family is gentle and virtuous, the children under her knees are filial to her knees, and there are some elder brothers who can shelter from the wind and rain...

Such a winner in life followed the late emperor without hesitation!

Naturally, some lamented Wen Qi's ignorance of good and bad, but most people still followed the crowd and praised him for his sincerity, loyalty, and courage, which is the first loyalty since the founding of the country!

In addition, he is not too corrupt as an official, and he is also smooth and alert on weekdays.All of a sudden, before the new emperor could react, the government and the public began to praise Mr. Wen and Mrs. Wen's father and son for their great integrity. Such sincerity to the late emperor could turn green in three years.

Even though the new emperor drank his blood with hatred, he couldn't blatantly seek trouble for Wen's family at this moment.

After all, filial piety is pressing, if he pursues him closely, he will inevitably fall into the trap and gain the reputation of punishing veterans and avenging private revenge.

The Wen family, not only cannot get rid of it, but also have to take good care of it, to show the kindness of the emperor.

The new emperor was also unwilling to benefit the Wen family too much, so the two masters were clearly in the court, but they were deliberately ignored.On the contrary, the second young master of the Wen family, who was born in the inner house and had never seen anyone, was entrusted with a decree to take his descendant, and became the first first-class loyal Viscount since the founding of the Dali.Two hundred miles of land will be rewarded, 410 taels of silver and three hundred dendrobium of Lumi will be offered every year.The second is the countless other jewels and silks that were rewarded to the Wen family.

The development of this matter is deeply surprising. Throughout the ages, titles have represented extremely rich wealth and a future full of security.

However, this may not be a good thing for the already wealthy second young master of the Wen family.

In particular, the fief assigned to him by the new emperor is still the most desolate Fuchun in the south of Dali, which is known as the beginning of poverty and evil!

Although Fuchun is facing the sea, it still has a large plain. According to theory, it should be a rich place with rich oil and water.However, throughout the ages, there has never been an emperor who really took this place into his pocket.Don't say that people's hearts are complicated, just water and soil, there is a lot to do.The side of Fuchun surrounded by mountains has been shrouded in miasma all year round. Although there are treasures in the mountains, few people can escape under the miasma.After hundreds of years, there are not many people who are just under the miasma, let alone live in Fuchun.

There are three kinds of Fuchun, bandits, poor peasants, and beggars.

There are three sceneries in Fuchun, poor mountains, bad water, and unruly people.

Such a place is almost a blemish on the territory of Dali.

The new emperor's move is really arousing criticism.However, the title and salary are real benefits, which are embarrassing and impossible to talk about.

However, the second young master of the third bedroom of the Wen family, who is located in the center of the storm, has already had a new bottle of wine, and the outside is different from the inside.

Wen Le thought to himself, the former second young master probably committed suicide in despair after hearing about the territory he was going to serve.Otherwise, it would not be his turn to occupy the magpie's nest and live again.

However, after hearing all the rumors about Fuchun in Dadu, he couldn't tell whether he was lucky or unlucky.

Especially this Second Young Master Wen is not a free body who can feed the whole family by himself.He has a widowed mother and a concubine brother, and a concubine brother and an only son.This conferment of knighthood is equivalent to the separation of the Wen family.Going to the fief, of course, must take brothers, mothers and children with them.

A piece of wasteland full of miasma, the emperor's favor, I am afraid that there are not enough people who dislike the death of Wen's family, and I wish the whole family could be buried in the ground.

No wonder he is called Prince Xiao, Prince Xiao, he only knows how to fight, he is a stupid tall man with a muddy head, and he can't even hide his bad thoughts. Apart from being brave, I'm afraid there is no other title that is close to him.

He sat on the big rock for half a quarter of an hour before he heard a faint rustling outside the courtyard, and immediately knew that someone was coming.

Sure enough, a girl in light yellow clothes walked into the breathing room courtyard.The girl was dressed in a very strange way, her hair was covered with blue hair and covered her ears with bubbles, and her face was painted white with something, and the bright red on her mouth was only half daubed carefully. From a distance, it seems that her mouth is only as big as three small circles. Her eyebrows are shaved thin and high, and then painted into a thin black line with a pen, the end drooping slightly, almost into the temple hair.

This is Chen Xiang, the big maid who has been serving by his side since he woke up. The women here are so strange, not only her, but the other maids in this courtyard also like to make their faces like this. Le sometimes looks inadvertently, and even feels that he has bumped into a room full of ghosts.

Chen Xiang is said to be only 16 years old, with a slender figure and a standard back killer.She came in from the courtyard with small steps, carrying a steaming copper basin, and when she saw Wen Le sitting on the stone, she raised her eyebrows—her eyebrows were drawn too high, and it seemed as if they were all raised like.

"My lord!" Because the title has been sealed, people in Wen's residence can't call him young master at will, they can only call him respectfully, "Why are you here to blow the wind outside again!"

Seeing her pale face with ferocious eyes, Wen Le felt a sudden fear in his heart, and stood back from the stone to the ground with a wheel.

Looking down at his tall belly, he felt helpless again.

No wonder the new emperor gave him titles and fiefdoms so reassuringly, and didn't even want hostages to stay in Dadu.With the playful character of the second young master of the Wen family, it's really hard to make people wary of him.

No one in Dadu knows that Er Young Master Wen's greatest pleasure since he was a child is nothing more than eating and drinking.Because he likes desert food, he dared to go to General Hushi's mansion to beg for a cook. For a jar of fine wine from the Western Regions, he took it upon himself to accept nearly 10 taels of filial piety for Mr. Wen, and was beaten up afterwards. All kinds of things are too numerous to describe.

Not to mention that, just looking at his first choice after knowing the setbacks are coming is to let go, you can also see that his character is soft and sticky.

Even the whole Wen family didn't show much respect to the second young master, they dared to sweep snow in the yard and make noise when he was fast asleep.

It's really that this person...is too easy to bully, so he accepts it.

He sighed, slowly took a step ahead of Chen Xiang, and stepped into the room, feeling a little frustrated.

That's all, anyway, he lived his whole life in vain. He took such a huge advantage, so naturally he shouldn't shirk his obligation.

What Wen Ershao couldn't do was that he would have to work one by one in the future.
