Chapter 80: I would rather kill the wrong than let go
"We have done our homework in advance!" Li Shimin's face showed a serious look and said slowly: "When using troops, we should be like Chen Ying, how can we be an unknown person?"
Changsun Wugui said carefully: "The seven sects and five hopes of Shandong nobles have joined the world with the Wenzong, and all other major families are like this, Guanlong generals... Could it be that Chen Ying did not have the surname Chen, but the surname Hou Mo Chen?"
"Hou Mochen?" Li Shimin frowned.
Hou Mochen is a rare three-character compound surname in Chinese history. Hou Mochen was one of the eight pillar states of the Western Wei Dynasty. After Hou Mochen Chong, he has been a general for generations. Historical records record the demise of the Sui Dynasty, which was probably because Yang Guang was incompetent and incompetent, was very arrogant, was very happy with merits, and consumed people's efforts. This is just a historical book, not the truth of history. In fact, after Yang Guang ascended the throne, the political reforms implemented by the system of titles and officials were in a state of breaking the "Guanzhong-based policy" implemented since Yuwen Tai of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Through restrictions, it weakened the powerful power and influence of the Guanlong Group, and rectified the government, strengthened centralization, and expanded the social foundation of rule.
In this way, the interests of the Guanzhong nobles were damaged. Therefore, the Guanzhong nobles, who had always been the main idea of family, country and world, stopped doing it. Yang Xuangan began to stand up and rebelled first. Although Yang Xuangan finally failed, an extremely abnormal phenomenon occurred. Almost all aristocratic families participated in the rebellion openly or secretly, and then Li Mi openly walked to the front. Then Li Yuan, supported by the Li clan of Longxi, Li clan of Zhaojun, Cui clan of Qinghe, and Li Yuan, supported by the Wen clan of Taiyuan, brought flags to rebel, Yu Wen clan of Taiyuan, and Wang Shichong supported by the Zheng clan of Xingyang, also went to the front.
When Li Yuan was in the beginning of his rebellion, he secretly investigated outstanding figures and spheres of influence from various clans. Before reaching a reconciliation, Li Yuan was always dormant and waited for the opportunity. Li Shimin searched all his memories, but could not find any news about Chen Ying. Li Shimin murmured: "Is Guanyin maid saying that this Chen Ying should be the more surname Hou Mo Chen, and his name is Ying?"
Changsun Wugui said: "It is not impossible that this is possible. After Chen Yingshanwu and the Eight Pillar Kingdom, the major families gradually declined, especially the Houmo Chen family was the weakest."
Li Shimin nodded. Hou Mo Chenrui, the eldest son of Hou Mo Chen Chong, was exiled by Yang Guang to Lingnan in the early days of Daye, and died in Lingnan. The second son Hou Mo Chenying was the prefect of the South China Sea and comforted Lingnan. However, at this time, Hou Mo Chen was the most relaxed family before Li Yuan started his army. The other families had exhausted all their strength, and only the long-declined Mo Hou Chen led him by gently.
Li Shimin and Changsun Wugui never thought that Chen Ying was a real poor family, because the inertial thinking of poor families being unable to have noble children made Li Shimin naturally believe that Chen Ying must be a noble family.
There is a saying that "The dragon gives birth to the dragon, the phoenix gives birth to the phoenix, and the son of a mouse is born to dig holes." This sentence is a proverb, and it is actually a tradition in China. Especially in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, this cognition reached its peak. In the Southern and Northern Dynasties, strangers met and spoke first sentences usually said: "Brother, Taigao? Where is the county?" In ancient times, it was not ashamed to fight for his father, but rather proud.
In this era, although the aristocratic politics is already at a twilight pace, it is the mainstream of this era. As for the heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the demon king Cheng Yaojin is well-known.
However, Cheng Yaojin's father was named Cheng Lou, Jeju Dazhong. It can be understood as the provincial organization minister. His grandfather Cheng Zhe and Sima of Jinzhou. It can be said that Cheng Yaojin was a provincial senior official within three generations.
Then let’s talk about Qin Qiong, Qin Qiong’s great-grandfather Qin Xiaoda, was the county magistrate of Guangnian of Wei (the seventh rank), and his grandfather Qin Fangtai was Wang You of Guangning, Northern Qi (the fifth rank), and his father Qin Ai’s courtesy name was Ji Yang, and he became an official in the twentieth rank of Guangning King Lushi (the sixth rank). Although Qin Qiong’s family was not as good as Cheng Yaojin Gao, Qin Qiong was also considered to be a middle-middle-middle-ranking fifth rank in the era of the ninth rank of Zhongzheng.
Finally, let me mention another sect god, Yu Chi Gong, his great-grandfather Yu Chi Benzhen, the general of the Later Wei Zhonglang, the champion general, the founding duke of Yuyang County. His grandfather Yu Chi Mengdu, the left-handed doctor of Qi, the Jin Zi Guanglu Dafu, and the governor of Jizhou, the father Yu Chi Jia, the Sui Yi Tongsan (third rank), the military affairs of the six states including Youzhou, You, Tan, Gui, Yi, Ping, Yan, etc., Youzhou Governor, and Chang Ning'an Gong. It can be said that among Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, and Yuchi Gong, Yuchi Gong has the highest family status, and is considered the second-class in the middle class.
In fact, this traditional cognition is very reasonable. It is not impossible for poor families to produce talents. However, what kind of environment can create what kind of talents, especially the most professional knowledge such as military, law, art, Confucianism, medicine, craftsmanship, etc., and only with strong talent, extremely high qualities, and the environment of hearing and witnessing can an expert be formed in this aspect.
Chen Ying's battle in Jingyang showed his strong ability to defend the city, and used the battle to pacify the people and make changes to the people. He supported the four battles of the Turks in Lingzhou and proved his field ability to fight against the Turks. Chen Ying's facts proved that he was not worthy of being a false reputation.
Changsun Wugui said: "In order to win, this son is willing to try his own risks. His approach is bold and reckless. He is delicate in his mind and is definitely not limited by a mere Jingzhao Su family. If he spends a little time, he will be the number one person."
"If you can't use it for me, you will definitely kill it!" Li Shimin said with a gloomy face: "Lei Yongji!"
Lei Yongji walked out of the hall after a while and bowed and clasped his fists: "Please tell me your superiors!"
Li Shimin said decisively: "From now on, I will investigate Chen Ying for this king, and check the details of this Chen Ying, check his father, mother, wife, check his master, Kaimeng master, and check the people around him. As long as they have names and surnames, as long as they are related to this person, check one, and they would rather kill the wrong one, and not let go.
Lei Yongji said solemnly: "See the order, let's do it!"
"No, you can do it yourself!" Li Shimin said: "I'm not at ease with the others!"
Lei Yongji was about to turn around, but at this moment, Changsun Wugui screamed loudly, "Ah...ah..."
Li Shimin turned his head and saw that he didn't know when it started. Changsun Wugui's face was covered with sweat, and there were wet marks on his lower body.
Although Li Shimin had not had time to be a father, even if he saw Changsun Wugui's appearance, he could imagine it even without his head and knees. This was "the amniotic fluid was broken!" Li Shimin saw Lei Yongji stunned on the spot, and was angry and didn't even hit him. He roared at him, "Why are you standing there? Call the imperial doctor!"
At this time, an older palace maid came from a background and said, "Your Highness, don't call me an imperial physician."
The palace maid came to Changsun Wugui and ordered: "Gun, boil hot water quickly."
"Your Highness, please remove it!"
Li Shimin walked outside Chengqian Palace and listened to Changsun Wugui's heart-wrenching shouts in Chengqian Palace. Li Shimin felt like a cat was scratched.
