"Your Majesty, Duke Lu and Duke Chu request an audience."
Just as Li Er was eagerly waiting for Zhou Yu's introduction, a young eunuch hurried over.
After hearing the report, Li Er was stunned at first, but then his face turned gloomy.
Wei Zheng and his gang knew that he had hosted a banquet for Zhou Yu at the Princess's Courtyard.
Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong came here at this time, most likely because they were bewitched by those guys.
As soon as he thought of this, he said with a sullen look, "I am entertaining guests in the harem. Please ask them to come back another day."
After saying that, he turned and looked at Zhou Yu.
However, after receiving the order, the young eunuch did not respond. Instead, he stammered, "Your Majesty, I have already tried to persuade them before I came. But... but the two dukes not only refused to leave, but also said that Your Majesty was only concerned with enjoying the food alone and had no regard for the old friendship of the Qin Palace..."
Upon hearing this, Li Er immediately puffed his beard and glared, "Asshole, I am not the kind of person who only cares about food and drink."
Young eunuch: ...
Inner OS: Your Majesty, do you want to listen to what you are saying?
certainly.
He only dared to think about this in his heart and absolutely dared not say it out loud.
"Sizi, who are Duke Lu and Duke Chu?"
Just as Li Er was puffing his beard and glaring, Zhou Yu was also whispering to the little princess.
Actually, it’s no wonder he doesn’t understand.
The titles of these nobles in the Tang Dynasty were not always fixed.
Unless you are very familiar with the history of the Tang Dynasty, it will be difficult to match it up for a while.
"Duke Lu is Uncle Cheng, and Duke Chu is Uncle Yuchi."
The little princess raised her head and answered as if it was a matter of course.
"Uncle Cheng?"
"Uncle Yuchi?"
"Could it be Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong?"
After hearing the little princess's answer, Zhou Yu immediately had a guess.
Upon hearing this, the little princess tilted her head and asked with a puzzled look, "Yes, yes, do you know them too, little one?"
know?
That's very familiar.
Which gamer doesn’t know Cheng Yaojin’s three-axe skills?
Splitting the head, picking teeth, and picking ears.
After three moves, even if the opponent doesn't die, he will lose half his life.
In addition, all the cows in the Cheng family have unique skills.
Death from old age, illness, falling, suicide for love...
Those cows can do any imaginable way to die.
As for the Duke of Chu, Yuchi Gong, he is even more famous.
One of the two door gods in the New Year pictures is Yuchi Gong.
Of course, Yuchi Gong is more famous for his poor parenting skills.
His son Yuchi Baolin bullied men and women and forced good women into prostitution, which brought shame to the door god.
"Young Master, do you know Duke Lu and Duke Chu?"
Li Shimin was originally puffing his beard and glaring, but when he heard what his little daughter said, he couldn't help but look at Zhou Yu with a puzzled look.
"Ahem, I've only heard of the two Dukes, but I don't know them personally."
Zhou Yu shook his head to deny it, but his face was full of admiration.
When Li Er heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched.
He remembered clearly the expression Zhou Yu had on his face just now.
There was only astonishment on his face, not a trace of admiration.
Now seeing Zhou Yu like this, how could he not feel jealous?
"These two brainless guys must have been bewitched by that idiot Wei Zheng."
Li Er first curled his lips in disdain, and then expressed his guess.
"Well……"
Zhou Yu was speechless when he heard this.
Wei Zheng, that big troll, is really on the verge of death.
However, the excuse he made for the two guys outside actually hit the mark on Li Er's pulse.
It seems that Li Er is also famous for his greed.
"Young Master, would you like to meet the two Dukes?"
Compared with Li Er's constant denigration, Empress Changsun was much more observant.
Seeing the expectation on Zhou Yu's face, she immediately asked.
"Your Majesty, I have long admired the two Dukes. Especially Duke Chu. I grew up looking at his portrait."
When Empress Changsun asked about it, Zhou Yu did not hide it.
If I could really see him, it would be worth the trip.
"Growing up looking at the portrait of Yuchi Laohei?"
Upon hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Li were filled with disbelief.
Even the little princess in his arms tilted her head with a curious look on her face.
Seeing this, Zhou Yu immediately explained: "In our place, we put up New Year pictures on the doors during the Spring Festival, and Qin Shubao and Yuchi Jingde are the door gods in the New Year pictures."
"Why?"
The little princess became even more curious, her face full of confusion.
Mr. and Mrs. Li also looked incredulous.
"Well……"
Hearing the little princess's question, Zhou Yu couldn't help but scratch his head embarrassedly.
In fact, there are two main theories about how Qin Qiong and Yuchi Jingde became door gods.
The first theory is related to Li Er's Xuanwu Gate Incident.
Legend has it that after Li Er seized the throne, he dreamed that Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji turned into evil spirits and came to take his life, causing him to be unable to sleep at night.
In order to protect himself, he ordered Yuchi Gong and Qin Qiong to guard outside the bedroom door.
These two were direct participants in the Xuanwu Gate Incident. Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were afraid of them, so Li Er could rest easy from then on.
Later, because they could not guard the palace all the time, they painted their images and posted them on the palace gates.
This practice was later widely imitated by the people, making Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong household names.
Since this legend involves the Xuanwu Gate Incident, there is also the theory of ghosts.
