Tibet
Chapter 468 Seeing the Gloves Again
Dugu Lie walked a few steps with his hands behind his back: "I have discussed it with your second uncle Dugu. Although according to the rules of the Dugu family, outsiders are not allowed to participate in secrets, including son-in-law, but you are special and due to the current situation, we decided I’d better tell you.”
Li Ye immediately made a gesture of listening.
Dugu Lie smiled and continued: "The Dugu family had a very powerful branch in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, which belonged to our own army. Later, it was taken away by Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty. During the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, we used those who were loyal to us to The descendants of his tribe re-established an army of 50,000 people.
Not only us, but also other Guanlong nobles. Later, we supported Li's Tang Dynasty and handed over all the tribes to Emperor Taizong, with a total of more than 200,000. These elite tribes also became Li Tang's capital to conquer the world. "
After the establishment of Li Tang, these tribes were also disbanded, but the Dugu family still had thousands of loyal generals. Later, the court continued to suppress them, and the number continued to decrease. By the time of Wu Zetian, there were only a thousand generals left in the family. They all hid in various manors. Later, when the emperor launched an innate coup, with the full support of the Guanlong nobles, the emperor was able to defeat Princess Taiping, ascend the throne as emperor, and move the capital back to Chang'an.
We have also reached an agreement with the Emperor that we can form warrior groups, but we cannot form armies. Therefore, each family of the Guanlong noble family has formed its own warrior group, but the scale is very small, with only a few hundred people. The largest ones are the Dugu family and the Yuan family. The Dugu family has a warrior group of two thousand people, distributed in various manors. They marry wives and have children, and they have been the generals of the Dugu family for generations."
Li Ye interrupted and said with a smile: "Dugu Ying, the deputy governor of Hezhong, is one of them?"
Dugu Lie nodded, "He is one of the Thirteen Dugu Taibao. They are all distributed in the various armies stationed in Guanzhong. Their positions are not low, and they are considered the best in the warrior group.
But what I want to tell you is another special team called Hidden Wings. There are more than two hundred people, all of whom are highly skilled in martial arts. They are responsible for collecting intelligence, protecting important figures in the Dugu family, and monitoring changes in the court situation. There are even some in the palace. They were Liefeng's disciples. At that time, Xinyue lived in the palace, and they were responsible for protecting Xinyue's safety. "
"This Hidden Wing team is controlled by Uncle Dugu?"
"That's right!"
Dugu Lie didn't tell Li Ye without any principles, he just told Li Ye that the Dugu family had such a hidden wing team, but the real core content, such as how the hidden wings operate, how they are distributed, and the list Or important leaders, etc., he will not tell them. Only the core members of the Dugu family know these key contents.
Li Ye, like Dugu Lie's other sons except the eldest son, only knew a rough idea.
Of course, this is already an exception. Among all the sons-in-law of the Dugu family, Li Ye is probably the only one who knows this secret.
Li Ye smiled and said: "Now I know why Uncle Dugu knows all the major events in the world without leaving home!"
"Haha! Thank you for the compliment from your wise nephew!"
Li Ye turned around and saw Dugu Ming appearing in the hall at some unknown time. Dugu Ming stepped forward and said with a smile: "Your future father-in-law actually leaked my secret!"
Li Ye hurriedly saluted, and Dugu Ming sat down and said with a smile: "My dear nephew, tell us about the Prince Consort Case! I always feel that this case is a bit strange."
Dugu Lie smiled and said: "My nephew just said that the murderer behind the scenes is Qing Wang Li Cong!"
Dugu Ming pondered for a moment and asked: "If it is really Li Cong, it has been more than ten days, but the emperor has made no movement. Why?"
Li Ye said calmly: "Because the player playing chess is the emperor, and Li Cong is just a chess piece."
Dugu Ming gave a thumbs up, "Master! This is a master. Standing at the top and seeing the overall situation. I thought about it for ten days before I figured it out. I didn't expect my nephew to have seen through it long ago."
Dugu Lie suddenly understood. He was surprised and asked: "Could it be that the Emperor is behind the case of Prince Consort Zhang Bian?"
"Uncle, it doesn't matter whether you are the emperor or not. Each of us is the emperor's pawn. The big tree of the prince has grown too lush, so the emperor naturally needs to cut back some branches.
On the contrary, once these princes become too powerful, accidents will happen. In fact, it is the same for me. If I don't give away three million gold coins, then I won't even think about returning to the river this time. The value of my promotion and existence lies here. . "
Dugu Lie nodded, "I understand, our Dugu family is actually just a pawn on the emperor's chessboard."
Dugu Ming asked again: "An Lushan is planning to attack the Wang family recently. What do you think of this matter?"
Li Ye was stunned for a moment and asked after a while: "Is it possible that the Wang brothers are backed by the Dugu family?"
Dugu Ming glanced at his brother, Dugu Lie nodded, and then Dugu Ming slowly said: "The Wang brothers are just the facade of the Dugu family. There is no such thing as getting rich overnight. Everything Wang Yuanbao manages is owned by the Dugu family. industry.
The predecessor of Baoji Cabinet Shop was Hong'an Cabinet Shop of the Dugu family. It was founded by our great-grandfather Dugu Hong'an. Wang Yuanbao's father was called Dugu Bao and he was the big manager of the Dugu family's industry. My father allowed him to go out independently and restore his surname of Wang. Yuanbao inherited his father's business and continued to run the Dugu family's industry. "
Dugu Lie also smiled and said: "This is actually what you call chess theory. We are the emperor's chess pieces, and the people below are our chess pieces. It's the same thing!"
Li Ye was speechless for a long time. He always thought that Wang Yuanbao, a strange man among the people with no power and power, could actually become the richest man in the Tang Dynasty. For a long time, he was just a white glove of the Dugu family.
"I always thought that the backstage of the Wang family was from Prince Ning's family."
"The relationship between the emperor and us is very deep. Princess Ning is the daughter of Dugu. Many of Prince Ning's properties are run in partnership with us. In the end, they were all bought to us at a cheap price. Therefore, it is normal to claim that Prince Ning's family is the backstage."
Li Ye hesitated and said, "I have a brother named Zhang Ping, who is Wang Xuanhai's adopted son. Could it be that it was also arranged by Uncle Dugu?"
Dugu Ming smiled and said nothing. Li Ye wanted to give him a slap in the face. He felt strange. Wang Xuanhai had children and several cousins. Why would he hand over the property to Zhang Ping to manage his adopted son? It's beyond the level of blood, and Zhang Ping didn't change his surname. It turned out to be arranged by the Dugu family.
Li Ye quickly bowed deeply and said, "Thank you Uncle Dugu for your respect for my brother!"
Dugu Ming waved his hand and said: "Let's go back to the beginning. An Lushan wants to seek the wealth and industry of the Wang brothers. What does the wise nephew think?"
Li Ye smiled and said: "If I guess correctly, the Mo family that was exterminated by An Qingxu was actually the chief steward of the Hou Mochen family. Those five martial arts schools were the property of the Hou Mochen family. The An family discovered this, so In the past ten days, they suddenly became quiet and did not make any move. I am right!"
Dugu Ming nodded, "That's right. When An Qingxu's subordinates wanted to transfer the Mo family's martial arts gym to the county government, they discovered that the real owners of the five martial arts gyms were the Hou Mochen family. The land in Chang'an is so precious, without a strong background. How is it possible to open a martial arts gym?"
After pondering for a while, Li Ye said again: "But I need to remind Uncle Dugu. When I investigated the case this time, I discovered that Prince Qing and An Lushan have a deep relationship. The two parties have formed an alliance. The Dugu family must be careful and try not to have any conflicts with An Lushan." The mountain turned upside down."
Dugu Ming and Dugu Lie looked at each other, and Dugu Lie said in a deep voice: "Thank you for the reminder, nephew. That makes sense. Why did An Lushan fall out with Wei Jiansu at the beginning of last year and stand on the opposite side of the prince's faction? In fact, it is a vote for several princes. Only by falling out with the prince can he form an alliance with the princes."
"So I want to remind my uncle that once An Lushan continues to seek the property of the Wang brothers, it will not only be An Lushan's problem, but also the princes will work with him."
Dugu Ming nodded, "That's why I came here today. An Lushan has already taken action."
