The Change of Xuanwu Gate Chapter 269: Dialogue with Uncle and Nephew
The three sons ordered the country. In the Chuyi Mansion, Shiyi's face was full of sorrow! The news of this agreement soon reached the Huanyi Mansion, but there was no joy on Huanyi's face.
"Father, after the Turks are defeated, there should be no problem in becoming a vassal of the Tang Dynasty and creating a country for father and son. Why is father so nervous?" His son Dou Kuan asked in surprise.
"I'm afraid there is something mysterious in this. Huanyi sighed and said: "It is very difficult to ask the other party to compensate. And it is not an easy task to ask the other party to have a son to serve as his father. If the other party agrees, it will be fine.
If I don't agree, I'm afraid the ministers in the court will say something wrong with me. They will say that I am not doing things well, etc. Not only will they remove me from my job, but they will also end my position as doctor. This is probably the most important thing.
.Hey, what a pity. Master Changsun has already left the capital at this time. Otherwise, if Master Changsun was in the court, there would not be such a difficulty, and these people would not catch me by my hair.
"Father, why don't you send someone to send a message to Lord Changsun, asking him to take a turn among them?" Huankuan said cautiously. "The ministers in the court are determined to drive me away! Although Lord Changsun has some mediation, maybe
This matter can be solved, but after all, it is not a long-term solution. Only by successfully completing the tasks assigned by His Majesty can we gain a foothold in the court, and then we can slowly plan for it. All these things must be done by Lord Changsun. I can make my father be here out of thin air.
I have lost some impression in front of Lord Changsun, so how can I follow the King of Yue in the future? However, it is better to let Lord Changsun know about the affairs in the court." Huanyi thought for a while, and wrote a letter and ordered someone to pass it on to Changsun.
Wuji talked about recent events in the DPRK. The letter did not mention the difficulties he had encountered, etc. It was no different from an ordinary letter.
"Father, what should we do next?" After Shikuan sent the letter, his face was solemn. He couldn't help but asked cautiously, but there was some worry in his words.
"Haha, don't worry. Since His Majesty said you don't care about the false reputation of this country of father and son, then continue to follow the method as your father thought, continue to close the door and let that Bo Tie go. Only in this way can we
Taking the initiative, he severely cut down Bo Tie's arrogance, and a smile appeared on Mon Yi's face.
"What my father said was very serious and Huan Kuan nodded. But his heart was not as relaxed as his father's. The affairs of the imperial court were not something that a businessman could get involved in. Shiyi himself was inherently deficient, and now even more so after such a
It was a big errand, and he didn't know how many people were jealous. How could these people let his father pocket this good thing? There was no telling how much thought was hidden in it! At the very least, he thought that someone was in charge of the court.
In the hall, the proposal of a country for father and son was in itself a ploy to force his father.
"Okay, okay, don't think about it. Your Majesty is a wise man. Otherwise, there will be no last words. Seeing his son being so nervous, Huanyi couldn't help laughing and said: "The country of father and son has such a false reputation.
Your Majesty will not like it. What he wants is war horses, gold and silver treasures, and time. As for the other things, they are all empty. Only the scholars in the dynasty like them. Your Majesty conquered the world from horses.
.What he thinks in his heart is beyond what those scholars can guess.
My son doesn't have to worry, don't worry, but Huanyi waved his hand with a smile, not taking Dou Kuan's worries to heart at all.
"What, do you mean to show your love or to close the door tightly without any action?" In Wang Jia's mansion, Wang Fa looked at the middle-aged man in front of him in surprise, with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Replying to the master, it is indeed true. A look of jealousy appeared on the middle-aged man's face, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Even those officials from the Ministry of Rites who participated in the peace talks came to discuss the peace talks, but he blocked them back. Master, what do you say?
Is this Shi Yi too courageous? Isn't he afraid that he will not be able to complete the mission assigned by His Majesty?"
"I didn't expect this meaning to be a person. I'm not in a hurry at this time." Wang Jia also showed a hint of admiration on his face, but soon he snorted coldly: "Anyway, His Majesty has spoken today.
The country of father and son has also been mentioned in the court. Hum, even if His Majesty does not care about this country of father and son, the important ministers in the court do care about this country of father and son. Being an official for thousands of miles is just for the sake of fame. Even if these people are
In this text, they also want to leave a name in history. Once the Tang Dynasty makes a contract with the Turks, Jali Khan will respect His Majesty as his father. This kind of thing, hehe. I don’t believe that they don’t want this reputation in this text. Those ministers
If they can allow a businessman to establish himself in the court, they will be anxious. Don’t worry! Go and tell Bo Tie that only by talking to me can the Turks get the maximum benefits at the minimum cost. Otherwise, let him wait for the Turks.
Bleeding profusely."
"Yes, I will go and tell Bo Tie now. The middle-aged man nodded repeatedly.
,
"Is this from your master?" In Shengzhou City, Changsun Wuji frowned, holding a few pieces of letter paper in his hand, but his eyes were looking at the servants of the Shifu in front of him. On his side, the Yue King Lu Chenglie stood on his side.
, and looked at Changsun Wuji curiously. What he didn't understand was why his uncle, who had always been very powerful, was nervous sometimes. Is this Shiyi really so serious about playing tricks? He is just a little doctor, so what?
When I was young, the most important thing was to manage the affairs of Shengzhou well. Can a small Huanyi be compared with Shengzhou?
The servants of Zhenghuan Mansion quickly clicked...
"Well, what's up? I already know. Changsun Wuji thought for a moment, took out a token from his arms, threw it to the visitor, and said: "Tell your master, let's talk about the ones that build the tower from Chang'an to Yumen Pass.
There are still some Turkic soldiers who have not yet all set off.
With this small token, he can lead people to the Bashang military camp.
"This?" The servant of Shifu took the token and couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on his face, but he didn't dare to neglect it. He lowered his head and quickly responded. Then he slowly retreated and hurried towards Chang'an.
And go.
"His Royal Highness the King of Yue, please read this letter. After the servants left, Changsun Wuji handed the letter in his hand to Lu Chenglie with a trace of kindness on his face. This Lu Chenglie inherited Lu Zhaoci's bravery and the same
Inheriting the beauty of his eldest grandson Wugou at a young age, he was extraordinarily handsome and extremely intelligent.
"The country of father and son? I'm afraid my father won't benefit the Turks because of this!" Lu Chenglie read the letter in his hand, with a sneer on his young face.
"What about these ministers?" Changsun Wuji nodded secretly, with a hint of relief on his face. But he still continued to ask. At this time, it was no longer the conversation between his uncle and his nephew. There was something in his words.
A hint of research.
"I'm afraid these people don't want Shi Yi, a businessman, to gain a foothold in the court! They do this on purpose." Lu Chenglie thought for a moment. Fang said, "This is causing trouble to Dou Yi! He really has no sense of the overall situation, huh, it's really abominable.
"Your Highness is right. These people have their own motives. They can't bear to see a low-status businessman standing above the court, so they set the tone for this peace negotiation. If the intention is fulfilled, There is still a little room left, but if there is even a little bit that makes them dissatisfied, then all the credit of Huanyi will be completely wiped out. Hey, even if the task is completed, I am afraid these people will still find faults in the eggs. Dou Yi may not be able to escape being disgraced this time."
"That's a good thing. It saves my uncle from embarrassment. King Lu Chenglie of Yue couldn't help but said: "My uncle supports this, Huanyi. I'm afraid someone in the court has already criticized it. Look at this time, even Mr. Cui also spoke out to help Wei Ting. , It can be seen that these people adopt the same method on the same matter, and there is no need for my uncle to offend all the officials in the court for the sake of justice."
"Is that what you think?" Changsun Wuji couldn't help but say
"It doesn't matter what Chenglie thinks, the key is what the father thinks." Lu Chenglie thought about it. Fang said.
"Yes, yes. Changsun Wuji nodded repeatedly, with a look of relief on his face, and said with a smile: "You have such an idea. It is already very good. It is much better than your brothers.
"That's because my uncle's teachings are meritorious," Lu Chenglie said quickly.
"Actually, His Majesty's appointment of Shi Yi is also inconclusive." Changsun Wuji pointed to the pieces of letter paper on the cases and said: "It can be seen from the information obtained here that His Majesty is also thinking in his heart. Hesitating, should I use this Dou Yi or not?"
"Uncle, how do you say this?" Lu Chenglie asked in surprise.
"What businessmen have is money. Once these people enter the officialdom, they will either become more greedy than before. This is something your Majesty does not want to see. There is also a kind of people who have nothing to pursue in terms of money, so What they are playing with is power. Before Zhenguan, there was no doubt that the status of merchants was low. Look at scholars, farmers, industry and merchants. Look at this arrangement. It can be seen that this arrangement is ordinary. A small subordinate official has no place at all in the court. He is not an official, but in front of those businessmen, he seems to be the prime minister of the dynasty. He is so aloof and cautious, just like when a big businessman like Monyi sees the officials in the West Market, he is also Don't dare to neglect. They are inferior by nature. Your Highness, what do you think these people will do once they have power in their hands? Changsun Wuji sighed.
"Of course, we have to find a way to climb up." Lu Chenglie said without thinking. "Yes, Changsun Wuji nodded. There was a trace of sadness on his face, and he said: "When a person has a lot of money and power, After that, he will no longer be satisfied with a minister. He will have ambitions. These businessmen are greedy people by nature, and they will only continue to take advantage of all the benefits in the world. They will not be satisfied with a minister.
"What do you mean, uncle?" Lu Chenglie's expression changed.
"Hey, your Majesty originally wanted to improve the status of merchants so that those wealthy families would turn their attention to business and ease the process of land annexation. That's why the tariffs were reduced and reduced, and that's why Changsun Shiyi entered the court. A smile appeared on Wuji's face and he said with a smile.
"What about your father's move?" Lu Chenglie was slightly nervous.
"His Majesty has obviously discovered the danger of increasing businessmen." Changsun Wuji explained: "Emperors in the past dynasties focused on agriculture and suppressed business. It's not that they didn't see the role that business played in the development of the empire.
It's not really about discriminating against businessmen. This is because agriculture is the foundation of a country. If there is food in the country, there will be no panic. Once the army has food, the army will be dispatched. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that there is a large amount of food in Taicang.
This is also the main reason why the two emperors of the former Sui Dynasty built granaries all over the country; the second, and most important, is to consolidate their rule. These people have money. And there is Heyi. As long as there is a little ambition, add!
When the time is right, you can recruit troops. If Mozhou is disrespectful to ridicule Sichuan, didn't your Majesty just ordered people to gather a lot of money, plus the official position of the general, so that the Tang Dynasty can be created today? Your Majesty has discovered it.
problem, that’s why they acquiesced to those people’s proposal of a country of fathers and sons.
"Uncle, what should we do?" Lu Chenglie asked slightly nervously with a strange look on his face.
"Does Your Majesty know about the Warriors' Works?" Changsun Wuji asked with a smile: "He was Li Yuan's money bag back then, running around for Li Yuan. It can be said that Li Yuan was able to become emperor later. Apart from His Majesty's martial arts, the Warriors' Works
His merits are also very obvious, so he later became the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, but what happened later? He went to a place like Bashu. It was because he was so rich and powerful that even Li Yuan was very afraid of him.
Yes, that's why he was made the governor. What's going on now? The same is true for Shi Yi. Even though he is a small doctor, once he is qualified to enter the officialdom, he will soon be able to enter the imperial court.
Among the ranks of the main officials, even I cannot stop his progress. Your Majesty knows that there are some mysteries in this country of fathers and sons, but he still adopts a vague attitude towards the suggestions of Wei Ting and others.
It’s not that Your Majesty doesn’t know the secret, on the contrary. It’s precisely because Your Majesty understands it that it will give the ministers an excuse to remove Dou Yi from his official position in the future.”
"Then what my father did was not to burn bridges by crossing the river?" Lu Chenglie said in surprise. This pair of uncle and nephew were discussing the current Emperor Zhenguan in a place far away from Chang'an City.
"Chenglie, you have to know that no one's words in this world can be easily believed, and the most unbelievable thing among them is that the emperor Changsun Wuji was not afraid of violating taboos at all, but looked at Lu Chenglie with a solemn face and said: "The so-called golden words refer to
The most important thing is when it is beneficial to Your Majesty and the country. That is a golden saying. In comparison, if the situation is not good for Your Majesty and the country, the emperor is the one who likes to fall out. You must pay attention to this.
Lu Chenglie on the other side opened his eyes wide when he heard this and looked at his uncle in great surprise. He didn't expect that his uncle would actually say such a thing. This was simply treason, even if Changsun Wuji was deeply favored by his father.
, but once such words reach the ears of Emperor Zhenguan, he will definitely be dismissed from his official position. If it reaches the ears of political opponents, it will probably be even worse. These people will definitely add insult to injury.
"Haha, are you shocked by what your uncle said?" Changsun Wuji couldn't help but reveal a smile when he saw Lu Chenglie looking like this. He shook his head and said, "I am strong today, and my complexion is not as good as before."
I don’t know how long I can sit in the position of Emperor. On the contrary, my uncle is older than Your Majesty. If nothing happens, he will definitely leave before Your Majesty in the future. By then, there will be only one person left in the court.
At this time, if I don’t pass on what my uncle has learned in his life to you, how will you be able to serve among the princes in the future?
"Uncle, you think too much." Lu Chenglie smiled nonchalantly: "In front of me, there are the eldest brother, the second brother, and the prince brother. If there is really going to be a seizure of the throne, the throne of the emperor will also be
It's not Cheng Lie's turn to take the blame. What's more, Cheng Lie is not expected to be an emperor. In the future, he can just be a Prince of Taiping. Whoever wants to be the emperor can take the throne. Cheng Lie doesn't want to be the emperor anyway.
of
"Hey, sometimes, some things are not just what you want." Changsun Wuji showed a high and unpredictable smile on his face. He said lightly: "Sometimes, it's just because of you.
I don’t want it, so it’s your turn. Today, there are only two people who can actually inherit the throne. One is the current crown prince, and the other is His Royal Highness the King of Yue. The rest are either making up the numbers or hiding from others.
That's all, or some people just overestimate their abilities.
"Uncle, where did you say that?" Sheng Chenglie's eyes were as big as bells. He was obviously shocked by Changsun Xiaowuji's words. But he had never thought about the looming heir apparent in the court.
In the dispute, the one who has the greatest chance of winning is actually himself. But he knows Changsun Wuji’s intelligence. Since he said this, there must be some truth to it.
"Your Majesty, does he know who your Majesty likes the most in the harem?" Changsun Wuji said with a smile: "There are two people that your Majesty likes the most. One is the current queen. Your Majesty and the queen agree with each other. This is an indisputable fact.
Even if you know clearly that the Queen Empress is standing behind the Cui family, you still make her the Queen. Of course, this has a lot to do with the Queen's important situation. Next is your mother. This is the first and second. In the prince's
Behind the scenes, there is a powerful Guandong family. Although His Majesty is from a family, he does not have much sense of belonging to the family. He is trying every possible means to weaken the influence of the family on the government. Presumably, if the court does not have foreign wars in the near future, His Majesty's energy will be reduced.
Most of them must be focused on weakening the family, and behind you, Your Highness, I am the only one, the Changsun family. The Changsun family only has me, Changsun Wuji, in the court. If the Changsun family rises, I am afraid there will be more.
It's been a long wait. In comparison, choosing His Highness as the heir can inherit His Majesty's thoughts and continue to weaken the family; thirdly, the Prince is cowardly by nature and is not suitable to be a king. This is the most important thing."
