Chapter 381 Brotherly Love
Du Fuwei said that he soon discovered after Zhao Mingyuan's reminder that his good brother Fu Gongyou was indeed a member of the Demon Sect as Zhao Mingyuan said.

However, so what if he is from the Demon Sect?

Who doesn't know that Zhao Mingyuan is now very close to the Demon Sect, and may even have formed a secret alliance.

After all, it is no secret that Zhao Mingyuan and the Demon Sect Saint Huanwen live in the same car, and are served by beautiful women who make others envious.

What's more, among the princes in the world, how many people dare to say that they have nothing to do with the Demon Sect?
Du Fuwei drank a large glass of wine and continued: "As long as he still regards me as his brother and has done nothing to regret me. Even if he is a member of the Demon Sect, so what?"

It seems that Du Fuwei is still very open-minded. Perhaps it should be said that he attaches too much importance to this brotherhood.

In fact, Du Fuwei and Fu Gong'er are indeed brothers.

According to historical records, Du Fuwei and Fugong'er were both from Zhangqiu County, Qi County, and both came from poor families. The two had been good brothers wearing the same pair of trousers since they were children.

At that time, Du Fuwei was frustrated and his family was too poor to make a living, so he could only make a living by stealing.

Fugong'er's aunt's family was a sheep herder and her family was relatively wealthy, so Fugong'er stole sheep many times and gave them to Du Fuwei.

Later, Fugong Er's aunt discovered this and reported their theft to the government.

The county magistrate then sent someone to arrest them, but Du Fuwei and Fu Gong'er, who had learned the news in advance, had to go out to escape together and gathered a group of people to gather in Xiaoshan Forest.

Although Du Fuwei was only 16 years old at the time, he was very much like a big brother.

Every time he went out to rob, he paid great attention to protecting the safety of his brothers. He took the lead when charging and stood behind when retreating. Everyone was impressed by his leadership charm and voted Du Fuwei as the leader.

From the time when the two of them fled together in embarrassment, until now the two of them founded the Jianghuai Army, with tens of thousands of troops, dominating the Jianghuai area.

For more than ten years, in Du Fuwei's mind, the two of them were truly life-and-death friends, as close as brothers, and how could they be restricted by their mere status as a demon sect.

However, although it has not happened yet, in history, Du Fuwei was indeed killed by Fu Gonger.

In real history, there was no Zhao Mingyuan, let alone Shuanglong competing with Li Shimin. Li Shimin led his troops to sweep across the world and was almost unbeatable.

Therefore, Du Fuwei surrendered to the Li clan early, which should be said to be truly unique.

He even sent troops to help Li Shimin attack Wang Shichong and contributed a lot.

However, it can be seen from this that Du Fuwei has no worldly ambitions. His uprising was only forced by the situation. His purpose was the same as Zhai Rang's, which was to preserve one side in troubled times.

As Liu Heitai was defeated by the Li Tang Dynasty, Du Fuwei knew that he would be next if he didn't know the truth, so he went to the court to pay homage to Li Yuan and expressed his absolute surrender to Li Yuan.

In this regard, Li Yuan did not treat him badly on the surface. He gave him the surname Li, ordered him to serve as the crown prince, Taibao and Taishishu Ling, and stayed in the capital, where he was placed on the throne of Qi Wang Yuanji to show his favor.

This means that Du Fuwei's status is only lower than Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, but also higher than Li Yuanji.

It is a pity that Du Fuwei lived in Chang'an for less than a year, that is, the seventh year of Wude, before he died suddenly.

As for how he died, official history says that he was good at immortal magic and was poisoned by mica.

In other words, Du Fuwei wanted to live forever, so he ate too much mica and died from the poison.

In fact, judging from the fact that Li Yuan never let go of an anti-king, his death was not that simple.

He was probably killed by poison, or committed suicide by taking poison.

After all, his status is only lower than that of Li Shimin. Li Shimin is also a general of Tiance. This risk is too high.

In fact, according to research, Du Fuwei's death resulted from Fu Gongyou's rebellion.

After Du Fuwei entered the court, his old friend Fu Gongyou used his name to plot rebellion, and his other subordinates were convinced of this.

This move naturally aroused the suspicion of Li Yuan and his son.

It is natural to imagine Du Fuwei's days in Chang'an, his old department.

In February of the seventh year of Wude (624), Du Fuwei died suddenly in Chang'an. The cause of death is unknown.

According to the "New Tang Book", Du Fuwei was fond of immortality medicine and died of mica poisoning by mistake. It is possible that he was poisoned, but it is difficult to say how he was poisoned.

At that time, the Tang Dynasty had almost unified the entire China. The Tang army was strong and brave, and there was nothing that Fugong Er could resist.

As a result, he suffered consecutive defeats, and was finally defeated and surrendered in March of the seventh year of Taketoku (625), and was subsequently sentenced to death.

After Fugongyou was suppressed, Li Xiaogong found a forged letter from Fugongyou in Fugongyou's camp, indicating that he had an affair with Du Fuwei and reported it to Li Yuan.

At this time, Du Fuwei was dead.

Therefore, Li Yuan took the opportunity to deprive Du Fuwei of his official title and family members, took back the surname Li, and demoted him to a commoner.

It can be seen that surrendering will not end well.

It was not until the first year of Zhenguan that Li Shimin came to power. Knowing that he had been wronged, he restored his title and was buried with the etiquette of a prince. All the confiscated property was given to his son, and he also allowed his son to inherit his title.

Of course, those are records in history books, and in the world of Tang Dynasty Shuanglong, it is naturally even more different.

However, even in the Double Dragon World of the Tang Dynasty, Du Fuwei's end was not much better.

The only difference is that he was not stabbed in the back by Fugong You, but tricked by two cheap sons, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling.

Presumably after Kou Zhong completely relinquished his power and surrendered the world, this cheap father who had great trust in his two godsons had no choice but to kneel down to the Li family.

The end result is probably no different.However, maybe the friendship between him and Fu Gongyou really hasn't changed in his life.

After all, the two had a deep friendship when they met when they were young, but they couldn't fake it.

Therefore, even if Fu Gongyou may indeed have evil intentions, Zhao Mingyuan can no longer question their brotherhood.

After all, how could an outsider like Zhao Mingyuan question their more than ten years of brotherhood?

In Du Fuwei's mouth, in the face of his doubts, Fu Gongyou admitted it directly.

He also said that he has always been his good brother and has never done anything to feel sorry for him.

He also said that the reason why he joined the Demon Sect was to use the power of the Demon Sect to help Du Fuwei's career.

After all, in today's world, if there is no support from one force, I am afraid that it will be swallowed up long ago.Only with sufficient support can we achieve great things.

As Du Fuwei was born into a poor family, it was impossible for him to gain support from aristocratic families and white Taoist forces.

Therefore, Fu Gongyou had to seek the power of the Demon Sect.

Zhao Mingyuan couldn't help but be silent about this.

To some extent, this is indeed true.

In this world, the various forces are intertwined, and there is no way for a humble family to stand out, and Fu Gongyou's words are not impossible.

Du Fuwei even said that he encountered dangers several times during his rise.In the end, as if with the help of God, all the disasters turned into good fortune, and the disaster was auspicious.

Now, the truth is revealed. It turns out that it was Fu Gongyou who gained support through mediation in the Demon Sect that allowed him to overcome the difficulties.

Is it really what Fu Gongyou said, that he really cared about the brotherhood and never harmed Du Fuwei?
Even Zhao Mingyuan couldn't help but become confused.

After all, when Zhao Mingyuan recalled the original fate of Shuanglong in the Tang Dynasty, there seemed to be no direct evidence to prove that Fu Gongyou intended to harm Du Fuwei.

Zhao Mingyuan couldn't make up his mind, so he simply ignored it.

Anyway, there is no need to blame others for things that have never happened. Just stay vigilant.

Maybe they can really remain good brothers for a lifetime.

After going around in a big circle, Du Fuwei talked about the brotherhood between them, and then got down to business.

Du Fuwei said that Fu Gongyou did have the intention to surrender, but the demon sect behind him seemed to have other intentions.

Therefore, Fu Gongyou cannot be the master.

The Demon Sect did not put forward any specific requirements. It seemed that Zhao Mingyuan needed to go to negotiate in person.

Ha, the Demon Sect already has a special contact method with Zhao Mingyuan.But this time, he didn't mention it to Zhao Mingyuan. Instead, he asked Du Fuwei to come and tell him.

Obviously, this won't be a good thing.I'm afraid he wants to raise some conditions again.

Of course, Zhao Mingyuan did not give Du Fuwei a look.

After all, people came to surrender with good intentions, just to spread a message to their brothers, and it was not a serious crime.

Therefore, Zhao Mingyuan left Du Fuwei to entertain him, and sent someone to notify the Demon Sect.

Although he didn't know what trouble the Demon Sect was going to cause, Zhao Mingyuan had no intention of coddling them.

Not only are they not planning to go there in person, but they are summoning the demon sect to come and negotiate on their own territory.

Although with Zhao Mingyuan's current strength, there is nothing the Demon Sect can do to threaten him.

But Huanwan's plot was a wake-up call for him, and Zhao Mingyuan was not careless and was not prepared to venture into danger lightly.

Moreover, Zhao Mingyuan is now strong, while the other party is weak.The Demon Sect still dares to make demands again. How can we get used to this kind of thing?

If Zhao Mingyuan gives in this time, I'm afraid the Demon Sect will push even further, and this kind of thing will happen more and more.

Therefore, Zhao Mingyuan did not give in at all this time.

In fact, after conquering Luoyang, Zhao Mingyuan's strength and reputation increased rapidly. If he formed an alliance with the Song clan again and wiped out Jiangnan, he would have half of the country in his hands.

The Demon Sect has no influence on him.

Maybe the Demon Sect was taking this into consideration, fearing that Zhao Mingyuan would regret it in the future, so they wanted to get some benefits in the end.

After receiving Zhao Mingyuan's reply and seeing his reaction, everyone in the Demon Sect was extremely angry.

But there is one thing that Zhao Mingyuan is not wrong about, that is, the situation has indeed changed now, and Zhao Mingyuan, who has greatly increased his strength, occupies an advantageous position in the cooperation.

Therefore, even though the Demon Sect was extremely dissatisfied with Zhao Mingyuan's attitude, they had no choice but to take the initiative to come to Zhao Mingyuan's ship to seek cooperation.

This is naturally because the Demon Sect wants to gain more support from Zhao Mingyuan.

After all, Zhao Mingyuan has not yet unified Jiangnan, and the ownership of the world has not yet been determined.Therefore, Momen still has some leverage to bargain with Zhao Mingyuan.

If Zhao Mingyuan unified Jiangnan soon, the Demon Sect would really have no place in front of Zhao Mingyuan and would have no choice but to be slaughtered by him.
