The divisions of the Wei clan are mainly based on the sons of Wen Hui Gong Wei Xu. Ku Gongfang is the eldest son of Wei Xu and the successor of the hermit Wei Ku of the Northern Dynasties. Although this branch is the eldest clan, its status is not as good as that of Xun Gongfang. Currently, he serves in the East Palace.
Wei Ting was born in Kuangfang.
Xun Gongfang, that is, after Wei Xu's second son Xiao Wei Kuan. Wei Xiaokuan was a famous general in the Northern Zhou Dynasty and was granted the title of Duke of Xun Guo. Therefore, he became the direct eldest family member of Jingzhao Wei. At the same time, the title of Duke of Xun was also passed down to successive Wei families.
host.
As for Gugongfang, Qianggongfang, Shunggongfang, etc., they are all side branches. They are not prosperous in terms of people and talents.
Speaking of the direct lineage of Xun Gongfang, among Wei Xiaokuan's sons, the third son, Mr. Wei, is the most outstanding. He was once Jing Zhaoyin, so he is the head of the family.
After President Wei, there was Wei Yuancheng, the eldest son. Unfortunately, he married the wrong daughter and died of depression due to the influence of the traitor Li Zixiong.
The person who took over was his younger brother Wei Kuangbo.
Wei Kuangbo performed well in the Sui Dynasty and was highly valued by Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. However, he died of illness in Jiangdu not long ago.
Therefore, the third oldest Wei Yuanzhao became the head of the family, and Li Yuan named him Duke Xunguo.
Wei Siqi is the second son of Wei Kuangbo.
After learning about Webster's history, Li Zhiyun just wanted to sigh, it's so complicated.
Of course, the history of Lao Li's family is more complicated than this.
"No need to be polite, Si Qi."
Li Zhiyun helped Wei Siqi up and said kindly: "From now on, I hope Siqi will give me more advice."
"I don't dare." Wei Siqi was a little embarrassed, looking quite embarrassed.
There was nothing he could do about it. The clothes he put on when he went out today had been mended several times and were in tatters. There was no trace of the style of a child of aristocratic family.
Li Zhiyun noticed this and frowned: "Duke Xun Guo actually treated the children of the clan so harshly?"
"Your Highness, calm down." Wei Siqi explained: "The master of the family did not treat his subordinates harshly."
Du Ruhui explained from the side: "Your Majesty, Siqi is the teacher of Wei Xue. There are many children in Wei Xue who are few and orphans. Usually Siqi helps them."
It turns out that's the case. Li Zhiyun was wondering if this was Wei Siqi's unique dressing hobby, but it turns out that's what happened.
"I can't give you anything here, but I will never let you starve or freeze." Li Zhiyun patted him on the shoulder and said, "The position of the Royal Registrar has been vacant for a long time. Please don't dislike it, Siqi."
"I dare not, but I am willing to serve His Highness."
Li Zhiyun laughed and said: "Ke Ming, call Xue Shou, Yuan Jing, Chu Suiliang, Chu Liang and others. I want to support Siqi."
"As you command!"
Wei Siqi sighed silently in his heart. He originally only wanted to find an official position to support his family, but he did not expect that the King of Chu would value him so much.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
"Now that we have entered Prince Chu's Mansion, we will be a family from now on, and there is no need to say thank you at every turn."
In addition to being acquainted with Wei Siqi, Li Zhiyun also wanted to take this opportunity to let his staff get acquainted with each other in order to avoid friction in the future. Yuwen Rutong and Yuan Shoucheng were also invited to have dinner together, and several military generals were also present.
During the banquet, there was no need to say much about changing cups and cups. Xue Shou and Xue Yuanjing were both well-educated people. After a conversation, Wei Siqi immediately put away his contempt for others. He originally thought that the Prince of Chu's palace was short of talents, and Du Ruhui was looking for him.
He came to top the tank, but the current situation was completely different from what he thought.
As for Xue Shouze, he felt a little strange. He sometimes looked at Wei Siqi, sometimes at the King of Chu, and he couldn't help but let his thoughts fly.
At the end of the year, Sheng Yan received good news from Yiyang. He successfully ambushed the traitor Li Mi in Xiong'er Mountain, and his aide Wang Bodang was also killed by thousands of arrows.
Li Yuan was very happy. He immediately named Master Sheng Yan the Duke of Ge and granted him the title of General Wuwei. He continued to lead his troops to guard Yiyang.
Along with the good news, Li Mi's head was also brought to the capital.
"My father and my sons thought that the news of Li Mi's death should be covered up, so they sent people to recruit Xu Shiji into Chang'an. Only in this way can we ensure that the Central Plains will not rise again." Li Jiancheng said.
Li Yuan knocked on the box, which contained Li Mi's head, and muttered: "I'm afraid this kind of news cannot be concealed."
Li Shimin said: "Father, since we have already killed Li Mi, we might as well have someone take Li Mi's head to Liyang to frighten the remnants of Wagang."
Li Shimin dismissed his eldest brother's behavior and killed everyone. This method was completely useless. It would be better to directly shock Xiaoxiao.
Li Yuanji snorted coldly: "In my opinion, the bandits and bandits of Wagang are not worthy of trust. It is better to avoid future troubles forever. Not only Li Mi deserves to die, but all the other Wagang surrendered generals also deserve to die."
As expected of you, Li Yuanji, only you can express such reckless and vicious thoughts so easily.
"Fourth brother, we have killed Li Mi. If we continue to kill all the old Wagang troops who surrendered, Wagang will fight with us in the Tang Dynasty. Once the remnants of Wagang unite with Wang Shichong, Luoyang's territory will expand to Qingzhou." Li Shimin said:
"When the time comes when the Tang Dynasty comes east, the enemy will be extremely powerful."
Li Yuanji rolled his eyes and touched the melon-eater Li Zhiyun with his elbow.
"Zhiyun, what do you think?"
My fourth brother, my name is Li Zhiyun, not Li Yuanfang. Don’t always ask me what I think. I just want to be a quiet, handsome man.
"Father, why don't you send Li Mi's body to Liyang and hand it over to Xu Shiji. If this person sincerely surrenders to the Tang Dynasty, he will bury Li Mi properly and dismiss the old Wagang tribe. If this person harbors hatred, he will definitely use this to
Opportunity rebels in one fell swoop.”
"What Zhiyun said makes sense, and my father and son agree with me." King Qin said.
Li Yuan unexpectedly glanced at Lao Wu. He found that this son seemed very stupid in political struggles, but he was very good in judgment on war.
"Okay, let Xu Shiji make his own choice." Li Yuan ordered: "Pass the order and order Shandong Road to appease the ambassador, and Huai'an King Li Shentong to follow up on this matter."
Around October, Li Yuan named Li Shentong the King of Huai'an, and the Shandong Road pacification ambassador. But Li Shentong has been dragging his feet and not taking up the post, because Shandong Road is just empty talk, and now the territory of Shandong Road is in the hands of the rebels.
What can he do?
Later, unable to resist Lao Li's urging, Li Shentong and Cui Mingan had no choice but to go to Xiangzhou.
After talking about business, the father and son started talking about the New Year.
"You have already opened your mansion. For this year's New Year's Eve, you will stay in your mansion and don't need to come. You can enter the palace again when the first day of the New Year comes to greet you."
"Yes." All four sons responded.
Li Yuan looked at Li Zhiyun and asked, "Are you studying these days?"
Li Zhiyun was a little confused when he asked this question. What else should he study after he graduated?
"Here I am."
"What book?"
"The long history asked his sons and ministers to read the Analects of Confucius more."
Li Yuan snorted coldly, "Confucianism."
He changed his tone and said: "As a prince and the prince of the Tang Dynasty, how can you not know the history of Qing Dynasty and the words of Spring and Autumn Period? You must read it."
"Your Majesty, please keep this in mind." Li Zhiyun was a little confused. He was not the Second Master Guan, so why did he read Spring and Autumn? Besides, Spring and Autumn were not easy to understand.
Back at home, Li Zhiyun immediately told Du Ruhui about the incident.
"Your Majesty, writing history in the Spring and Autumn Ming Dynasties is a metaphor for people and saints. This is to ask Your Majesty to pay more attention to court affairs."
Li Zhiyun suddenly realized and said with a smile: "It seems that the last time Wude Dian acted stupid, my father was a little unhappy. Forget it, then please Ke Ming explain to me the principles of the Spring and Autumn Period."
