A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 479 Another Traveler

Yun Dingxing used to be the immediate boss of today's son Li Shimin who had just debuted. When Yang Guangyan's family was besieged, he called soldiers from all over the world to serve the king.

At that time, Yun Dingxing, the general of Zuo Tunwei, led the army to Qin Wang, and Li Shimin, who was only 16 years old, took the initiative to follow the Qin King to rescue his cousin Yang Guang, and even offered a bluff to retreat the Turks.

However, Yun Dingxing's family background is not very high. It is said that his ancestors belonged to the Helian family, which belonged to Xianbei, and later changed his surname to Yun.Yun Dingxing's ancestors were also officials and generals, but when Yun Dingxing was in trouble, his family was in decline, and he was also reduced to a craftsman. With his exquisite craftsmanship, he later became a famous businessman.

This person is the best at drilling, and later by giving his beautiful daughter to Sui Crown Prince Yang Yong, he suddenly became a nobleman.Although Yun is the daughter of business and industry, she is good-looking and will come to trouble. Yang Yong is very fond of her. Yun gave birth to three sons for Yang Yong.

Although both Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo were very dissatisfied with this and scolded the crown prince and Yun Dingxing, since they had three grandchildren, they couldn't always stay outside. He was granted the title of Zhaoxun.

Yun Dingxing became the prince's father-in-law, and he didn't do any serious business. He went to the East Palace every day, just changing tricks to give the prince some strange and obscene things, and taking the prince to have fun.

Yang Yong, the crown prince, was not able to sit still in the end. He was picked off by his younger brother Yang Guang, and Yun Dingxing was also expelled from his job as a young man. Get out a lot of treasures and treasures from the palace.

He gave these good things to the new crown prince Yang Guang's confidant Yu Wenshu. Yu Wenshu was the most greedy for money. Back then, the grand master Li Mu's descendants competed for family property, and Li Hun competed with his nephews for family property. , killed one, and then he asked his elder brother Yu Wenshu for help, promising to help seize the title and family property, and then earn half of the income from fiefdoms and food towns.

But later, after Li Hun won the title property, he refused to give it after only two years. Yu Wenshu directly overthrew his brother-in-law Li Hun and grand master Li Mu.

That's an old money fan who doesn't care about anything for money.

Through Yu Wenshu's relationship, Yun Dingxing became the person in front of Yang Guang again. In order to gain trust, he even took the initiative to find Yu Wenshu, saying that the three grandsons and Yang Yong's other sons were useless, why not persuade him? kill it.

In the end, Yang Guang killed all of Yang Yong's sons, and Yun Dingxing was responsible for it. He also poisoned his three relatives and nephews.

Although he was born in industry and commerce, Yun Dingxing not only knows how to drill camps, but also is very good at management, especially the production and management of military logistics ordnance. In Yang Guang's reign, Yun Dingxing was very favored and trusted.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Yun Dingxing was in Luoyang, and he also took the lead in persuading Wang Shichong, the Zen throne of the Emperor Taizhu.

After Li Shimin captured Luoyang, Yun Dingxing immediately took the initiative to greet and surrender. Many generals and high-ranking officials in Luoyang were executed by Li Yuan, but Yun Dingxing was recommended by Li Shimin. Duke County.

Later, he worked as a Shaofu Supervisor and Wei Weiqing, and now he is an old man, but his children and grandchildren are also doing well. General Wei was granted the title of Duke of Shunyang County, and his third son, Shitai, served as the governor and Duke of Shunyi County.

Among the grandsons, three have already become governors.

This person Yun Dingxing is actually a history of grassroots counterattacks. Since he was a child, his family has fallen into a lowly industry, but he succeeded in sending his daughter to the prince's side to be a housewife, and he was able to rise to the position.Even if the crown prince was abolished later, this guy could immediately and decisively give the money in his hand to the new crown prince's confidant, so as to be promoted.

Later, he even killed his son-in-law's sons with a heart of stone, and even poisoned three nephews with his own hands.

However, this person does not rely entirely on flattery, he is also very capable of doing practical things, and he can become a general all the way.

And when the end of the Sui Dynasty was in turmoil, he was also able to take the lead decisively to force the palace, persuade the Emperor Taizhu to take the throne, and make himself the Taiwei of the new dynasty.

Even if the Zheng Kingdom of the Wang family is destroyed, he can immediately defect to the Tang Dynasty and become a general. You must know that Su Wei, Wang Shichong's grand master at that time, was the four most important ministers of the Sui Dynasty. After the death, Su Wei, who was in his 80s, ran to see Li Shimin regardless of his face, but was dismissed by Li Shimin and drove him away. Later, he secretly went to Chang'an to ask for an interview, but he was still not allowed.

Regardless of fame or ability, Su Wei is definitely far above Yun Dingxing.

Wu Huaiyu felt that Yun Dingxing looked like a protagonist of a time traveler. In his life, he had been Yang Yong's father-in-law, Yang Guang's confidant minister, Li Shimin's old boss, and Wang Shi's wife. Wei, and later voted for Tang and became the general of Youwuwei, and finally he was able to serve as Wei Weiqing at the age of 70 before he became an official.

After chatting with Po Kang for a while, Wu Huaiyu got some more secret information.

The Yun family can do so well now, a family of four county dukes, and even grandchildren have three governors, three sons, two generals and one governor, which is very unreasonable.
But only because Yun Dingxing and his children and grandchildren participated in the Xuanwu Gate Incident in the ninth year of Wude.

This old guy who is very good at speculating, has already retired at an early age, still took the initiative to participate in this fateful bet, returned it to Stud, and finally made the right bet.

The current fortune of the Yun family is not because of the love they had back then, but because they gave their all-out support when Li Shimin needed it the most, betting the fate of the entire family.

Naturally, Li Shimin had to repay him by granting the titles of his three sons as county princes, two generals and one governor, and his three grandsons successively as governors, and the rest of his grandsons also became officials.

It has to be said that Yun Dingxing's vision is indeed very good.

Moreover, this guy is in his eighties now, but he is still in good health. Wu Huaiyu is just curious. With Yun Dingxing's status, he really wants to see him and just send a post. Why does he have to go through Mrs. Kang?

Sima Guang said that a person who is full of talent and virtue is called a sage, a person who has both talent and virtue is a fool, a gentleman who is superior in virtue is called a gentleman, and a person who is superior in talent and virtue is called a villain.

Yun Dingxing is a complete villain, his talent far exceeds his virtue.

Kang Po talked about Yun Dingxing's admiration for him, saying that he was good at both literature and martial arts. He was not only good at making utensils, but also good at music. Back then, his daughter learned music from him, and she was fascinated by it. Yong.

Yun Dingxing can always do things in a new way, and even made many inventions and creations, which became popular in Kyoto. Moreover, he is remarkable in managing the army, fighting wars, governing instruments, and managing.

His problems are mainly to please and seduce the lord to seduce the prince, to kill his grandson by falling into a well, and to cling to the powerful and powerful.

In Sima Guang's eyes, those who have no virtue, the more talented they are, the more villainous they are.

According to this standard, Yun Dingxing is a villain.

As Wu Huaiyu listened, he felt a little sympathy with Yun Dingxing.

This guy feels a lot like a time traveler.

In Po Kang's eyes, Wu Huaiyu and Yun Dingxing belong to the same category of people.

Yun Dingxing asked Mrs. Kang to introduce Wu Huaiyu because Mrs. Kang had a good relationship with Yun Dingxing in the past. During the Sui Dynasty, Mrs. Kang was attached to Yun Dingxing, otherwise he would not be able to become a rich man in Hebei. Instead of relying on the upstart Prime Minister Pei Ji, Zhenguan is now attached to Wu Huaiyu.

"Yun Dingxing is your old master?"

"Yes." Kang Po said frankly, "When we met, Duke Yun was a well-known artisan, and I was a small merchant who had just started to run a business."

"Duke Yun is over 80 years old, and he is not at home to enjoy his old age. What do you want to talk about with my younger generation?"

Kang Po is a middleman, and she also knows that this job is very taboo. Since she has voted for the new owner, she can no longer have any ties with the old owner.

But the Yun family is still prosperous now, and Yun Dingxing is still alive. He personally summoned him to talk to him and made this request, which he couldn't refuse.

"Mr. Yun is still in good health, and he pays close attention to current affairs. He appreciates the many policies that Prime Minister Wu has implemented since he took charge of the finances. He also agrees with Prime Minister Wu's plan to tear down walls and build markets. He said I want to give Wu Xiang some advice."

Suggestions?
Wu Huaiyu didn't believe it.

"Come on, what does he want?"

Kang Po hesitated for a moment, but still said truthfully, "Mr. Yun said that he is willing to help Mr. Wu with all his strength, and he just wants to get acquainted with Mr. Wu."

Well, it sounds like Yun Dingxing is watching himself dying in his 80s, and wants to find a backer for the Yun family.It is estimated that he also knows that the things he did in the past are disgraceful. Although he belongs to the four counties, he has a bad reputation in the aristocratic circle.

If he dies, many people may think of stepping on the Yun family, or even borrowing the Yun family's position.

Wu Huaiyu is young, but he has the emperor's heart, and the official worships the prime minister, but his foundation is not deep, and the foundation is shallow. If the Wu family and the Yun family form an alliance, it is a group to keep warm and help each other.

After all, the Yun family is quite prosperous now. Although Wu Huaiyu is in the limelight, but his foundation is weak, the alliance between the two families is still good.

Wu Huaiyu instinctively didn't want to pay attention to Yun Dingxing, this man's morals were too bad, and he was over 80 years old, he might die at any time.

But Po Kang gave him something, which was Yun Dingxing's suggestions on the transformation of Chang'an Market, many of which were indeed targeted, and he gave some solutions to some problems that might arise.

I have to say that this old man is really good, and the plans he gave are divided into three strategies, each with its own target, very sophisticated.

Yun Dingxing even said that the Yun family is willing to let the commercial firm under his family's control take the lead in participating in the transformation of the market.

For example, bidding for land, building shops, renovating streets, street canals, street trees, etc., willing to take the lead and even advance money to contract.

Yun Dingxing is quite sincere, he is willing to fully support Wu Huaiyu's Chang'an market plan, all he wants is an alliance between the Wu and Yun families, so that Mr. Wu can take care of the Yun family in the future.

Not demanding, full of sincerity.

This is hard to refuse.

"Reply to Duke Yun for me, please arrange a time, when the time comes, I will pay a visit and we will talk about it in detail."

Po Kang breathed a sigh of relief at this reply, and then quickly expressed her loyalty, saying that Duke Yun personally asked him to introduce him this time, and after hearing this, he also felt that it would be helpful to Mr. Wu, so he boldly agreed to mention it.

"This is not an example." Wu Huaiyu only said four words.

Kang Po is like an amnesty.

"This market renovation, Kang Yuan's family has billions of dollars, and he can also participate in it. You should know that this project has a very good prospect. It is close to the water and the building is the first to get the moon. Don't miss it."

"Prime Minister Wu speaks, and I, Kang Po, will fully participate."

"Wailiufang in the three cities of Chang'an is trying to demolish the walls of the square and change it to a commercial street. You will be fully responsible for the truth. Do it well."

"Please rest assured, Prime Minister Wu, I will never let you down."

Huaiyu waved her hand, and Po Kang hurriedly bowed and exited.

Both Yun Dingxing and Kang Po are very talented people. Although their conduct is questionable, what he needs now is someone who can do things.

Perhaps in the eyes of the emperor, Wu Huaiyu also has many problems, but he is also more capable of doing things. Therefore, the emperor ignored his background, age, etc., and used him so much, right?

Jane is in the heart of the emperor.

These four characters are still very stressful. He must do well to live up to the emperor's heart.

The fact that Cai Shengde is a villain is not the most important thing to him, but whether he can do good things is the number one priority.
