MTL - Chastity Layman-Chapter 1448 Qin Lang

  Chapter 1448 Qin Lang

   Luzon.

  Xuanwu Lake, Long Island in the middle of the lake, royal manor.

   "Your Highness, news from Luoyang."

  Thirty-six-year-old Qin Yao, the Duke of Wu'an County, stepped forward and reported to his great-grandfather King Qin Lang of Lu Song who was bending over to weed in a vegetable patch.

  Qin Lang was still concentrating on pulling weeds, without raising his head, knowing that it was Xiaozhong's son, "It's good news to hear your voice."

   "His Royal Highness, the imperial court has suppressed the rebellion of Li Kun and Xu Jingye, and the three states of Yangrun and Chu have been suppressed."

  Qin Lang stopped his hands, grabbed a handful of weeds, and sighed, "Tell me the process briefly."

  Qin Yao was a little excited and told about the swift and thunderous counter-insurgency process of his father Qin Xiaozhong and General Hei Chi Changzhi of Zuo Shenji.

"Your father didn't stay in vain for the thirteen years in the river. He knew that the suppression of the rebellion must be swift and violent, so as not to allow the rebels more time to consolidate and stabilize, especially the three-axe is the most important, directly destroying the morale of the rebels. Army spirit, cut through the mess with a sharp knife, good job."

  Qin Yao took out another letter, but it was from his father to Qin Lang.

   "Read it." Qin Lang didn't answer.

  Qin Xiaozhong's letter mainly wanted to ask Qin Lang to come forward to protect Li Siwen and Liu Yansi, and also wanted to recommend Hei Chi Chang Zhi as the deputy envoy of Jiedu of Hezhong Town and envoy of Huoxun Town.

   "Do you know what happened to Li Siwen and Liu Yansi?" Qin Lang asked.

"Li Siwen is Xu Jingye's uncle. He is related to our Qin family by marriage. He was supported by his great-grandfather before. He was recommended by the Privy Council to serve as a co-signer of the Privy Council. Jiangning, Runzhou."

  After Xu Jingye was demoted to the south of the Yangtze River, he gathered with a group of aristocrats in Yangzhou who were demoted from Luoyang, and finally got together with Li Kun. When the emperor who was only in his thirties died of illness, they decided to raise troops. Xu Jingye sent his son to Jiangning to contact his uncle, hoping to bring Li Siwen along.

After all, Li Siwen is Qin Lang's son-in-law. He also served as a military envoy and served as a privy secretary. He has good experience in commanding troops and fighting, and his reputation is much higher than him. , Dajia are also closely related.

But Li Siwen lived a leisurely retirement life in Jiangning, very comfortable. He is Qin Lang's son-in-law, Li Ji's son, and once served as the chief general in the frontier. How can you watch the nonsense of the playboys Li Jingye and Li Jingyou brothers?

So not only immediately refused to participate in the uprising, but also turned around and quickly reported this important information to the Luoyang court. Later, Xu Jingye led troops across the river to attack Runzhou. can hold on.

  Li Siwen escaped from Dantu, ran back to Jiangning City, spent tens of thousands of money, recruited people, organized a group to practice village courage, and resolutely resisted his nephew's rebels.

Xu Jingye led his troops to attack Jiangning, but he couldn't attack several times. At this time, Qin Xiaozhong and Hei Chi Changzhi acted quickly and broke Xuyi, and then broke Yangzhou. Xu Jingye wasted too much time under Jiangning city, and finally withdrew to Runzhou. He also intended to go to Pyongyang by sea, but was eventually beheaded by his subordinates.

  Li Siwen's stance in this rebellion is still very firm, and he should even be credited, but he is Xu Jingye's uncle after all. Now after this rebellion, the Xu family has been implicated by the imperial court, and the country's surname has been taken away from the original surname, and all the officials and titles have been taken away.

  His family is the Duke of Shu, the Duke of England, and several Dukes of counties and counties.

   Now Li Siwen is also facing a crime.

  Qin Xiaozhong wanted to protect Li Siwen, because Li Siwen married Qin Lang's daughter and had always been very close to the Qin family.

Qin Lang threw away the weeds in his hands, turned around and sat in the cornfield, "Thinking that when Xu Shiji surrendered with Liyang and ten counties in Henan, Gaozu was overjoyed when he heard the news in Chang'an, and specially ordered Xu Shiji to be the governor of Liyang. Dukes of Shangzhu State and Lai State, Xunjia Youwuhou General, changed their titles to Cao Guogong, specially granted the Li family, five thousand acres of fertile land, the first district of Jiajia in Chang'an, and granted his father Xu Gai the title of Jiyin King. Xu Gai I resigned from the title of King, but changed to Shu Guogong, appointed Sanqi Changshi, and Lingzhou Inspector!"

   Speaking of this past event, Qin Lang sighed a little.

  Thinking back in the past, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Luo Shixin, Pei Xingyan and Shan Xiongxin were also known as the generals of the Five Tigers of Wagang, and Xu Shiji was the third leader of Wagang. Qin Qiong was even the one who was forced to surrender with Pei Renji after Zhang Xutuo died in the battle of Dahai Temple at the hands of the Wagang Army, which was quite different from Xu Shiji's identity as the entrepreneurial leader of Wagang.

  Qin Qiong was at best the ace sales manager recruited in the middle, and Xu Shiji was the co-founder or general manager of Wagang Group at that time.

Of course, because the old chairman recruited Li Mi to go up the mountain, and then abdicated to let the virtuous, and then was killed by Li Mi, so after Li Mi became the new chairman, the status of the two former founders, Xu Shiji and Shan Xiongxin, declined, Qin Qiong and other non-Wagang veterans On the contrary, his status has been promoted, and he is in charge of the hussars in the tent who are Li Mi's most elite confidants.

But later Li Mi defeated Wang Shichong, and ran to vote for Li Yuan regardless of the persuasion of his subordinates. It was Xu Shiji who guarded Liyang at that time who gathered the old Wagang tribe to secure the territory, and successfully brought most of Wagang's foundation to Li Yuan, so Xu Shiji returned. After Tang Dynasty, the treatment he received was much better than that of Li Mi.

  Li Mi ran to vote for Li Yuan alone. Shan Xiongxin, Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, Pei Xingyan, Cheng Yaojin, and other fierce generals all belonged to Wang Shichong at that time.

On the contrary, Xu Shiji brought the land of ten counties, and countless people joined him, so the treatment Xu Shiji received at that time was the same treatment as those anti-kings who belonged to the separatist side, and he directly enjoyed the treatment of being a king. It was for Xu Shiji's father to be crowned king, and to be duke of the state.

  Although Xu Gai refused, the imperial court granted Xu Gai Shu Guogong, Xu Shiji Cao Guogong, and gave Li the surname afterwards.

  During the Wude Dynasty, Li Shiji and his son had a very high status, ranking alongside Luo Yi.

   It's just that Zhenguan Dynasty didn't take a good position, and has been suppressed since then.

   But after all, he was also a hero who made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty at the beginning of the founding of the country, so after Li Gai died, he was still bestowed by the court as the king of Jiyin County.

  Although there were no kings during his lifetime, there were actually not many people in the Tang Dynasty who were able to posthumously posthumously king titles after death.

  After the death of Xu Gai, the Duke of Shu State was also ordered by his second son Li Bi to inherit the title of Duke of Shu. After Li Ji's death, because his eldest son died before him, the Duke of England was inherited by his eldest grandson Li Jingye.

"In any case, Li Ji still made great achievements in founding the Tang Dynasty. The Kaiyuan Dynasty was also a veteran who took care of his life and assisted the government. Even if he retired from illness later, the credit cannot be erased. The court cannot rebel because of unfilial sons and grandchildren. All their achievements will be wiped out, let alone such unfilial descendants as Li Jingye, and Li Siwen who are unyielding and loyal to the imperial court? We have to treat them differently!"

"Reply a letter to your father for me, saying that I suggest that the court should treat them differently. The brothers Li Jingye and Li Jingyou rebelled and rebelled. Natural crimes are unforgivable. They should be given their surnames and official titles. If they die, they will be ashamed. They should be expelled." Out of the Li Ji family."

   "However, the imperial court should not pursue the late Li Gai, Li Ji, Li Zhen, etc. too much. It is good to pursue the responsibility appropriately. It can take away the posthumous title of county king from Li Gai and Li Ji, and return to the Duke of the country."

  Qin Lang suggested that Li Gai and Li Ji's surname bestowed on the country should still be retained, and the titles of Shu Guogong and British Duke should also be retained.

The title of Duke of Shu is still held by Li Bi. As for the title of Duke of England, it can be inherited by Li Siwen, the second son of Li Ji. Li Jingye and Li Jingyou brothers expelled the Li family tree and restored Xu's original surname. Their wives, concubines and children are all long-lived In Nanping, property registration was not confiscated.

Li Ji was eighty-six years old last year, and his second brother Li Bi was also eighty years old at the time, but he lived a very long life. Now he is 106 years old and is still alive. Although he is already confused at this age, it is also good to be confused , at least now it is more convenient for Qin Lang to help him exonerate him. After all, what kind of rebellion can he participate in for an old birthday man who is over a hundred years old?

And he is still the patriarch of the Li family in name, which is also a reason to preserve the Li family. The patriarch did not lead the clan to rebel, but the young and unfilial descendants of the clan, Xu Jingye and his brothers. If you didn’t participate, are you still resolutely reporting and resisting?

   "Great-grandfather, isn't this treatment too light?"

Qin Lang just sighed, "Our Qin family, like the Li family, is a family of great meritorious service in the Tang Dynasty. If the Li family is implicated and liquidated by the whole family because of Sun Mou, then we will not worry about our future? Who can guarantee the future? When the family grows, won't there be one or two unfilial descendants?"

  Qin Lang is not only thinking about the old friendship, but also taking care of the entire military meritorious group, and is also thinking about his own future. If the handling of Li Jingye's rebellion is a good start, it will be good for all the meritorious nobles.

  This is not only a favor, but also insurance.

  Qin Lang is already eighty-four years old. Although his body is quite healthy, he still has a few more years to live. Now, if he makes more good friends and doesn't send out any favors, he will make more friends for the Qin family.

Not to mention, if this matter can only deal with brothers Li Jingye, save Shu Guogong Li Bi, and allow Li Siwen to inherit the British dukedom, then this will also provide insurance for the Qin family in the future, and even for others. The meritorious nobles are all covered by an insurance policy. The family business that has been hard-earned for generations does not need to worry that it will be ruined because of an unfilial son, which will implicate the entire family.

  Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there have been too many heroic families who have fallen all the way, and no one wants their own family to fall in the future.

  Liu Yansi is the cousin of Liu Shenli, who was originally the governor of Runzhou. After the city of Runzhou was broken, he was captured and refused to surrender.

Liu Shenli is also from Wagang. His father, Liu Dewei, was a general of the imperial army of the Sui Dynasty. He followed Pei Renji to conquer the Jianghuai rebellious army. , and later returned to Tang.

  Liu Dewei made Pengcheng County Duke, married Pingshou County Lord, inspected Dali Shaoqing, and served as Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment during Zhenguan. And his son Liu Shenli was the magistrate of Sanyuan County at the beginning of Zhenguan. At that time, Qin Lang had a Zhuangzi property in Sanyuan County, so he had a good relationship with Liu Shenli and got very close.

  After Qin Qiong and his son gained power in the Zhenguan Dynasty, Liu Dewei and Liu Shenli and his son became closer to him. Liu Shenli is also an old birthday star, and he is still going strong until now.

   "Although Liu Yansi lost the city, the rebellion broke out and there were no soldiers in Runzhou. The fall was not the responsibility of the governor. Moreover, after he was captured, he would rather die than surrender. He was loyal and unyielding. The court rewarded him instead of punishing him."

   "I suggest that Li Siwen inherit the title of Duke of England and prosecute the governor of Yangzhou, and Liu Yansi should return to the prefect of Runzhou, so that the two can help restore local stability."
