Chapter 1287 Different ways do not conspire
Elder Sun Wuji had just returned to the mansion when he saw a group of daughters talking to their wives and children at home.
"Why are you all here?"
"It was invited by Shuniang. She said that she might leave Dongdu in a few days, so I invited all of us sisters to come back for a reunion today." The person who replied was married to the Duke of Qi, the son of Qin Qiong, King Zhongwu of Qi, and newly conferred the title of honor. Sun Xuan, the daughter of Lu Qing and Qin Xun.
The eldest grandson Wuji had twelve sons, but there were more than twenty daughters, which is considered a lot of sons and daughters, and he contributed a lot to the prosperity of the eldest grandson family.
Nowadays, many of these children are adults, and most of the daughters are married into the royal family or the family of the prime minister. Only two of them married into the Qin family. The eldest grandson Shu married Qin Lang, and the eldest grandson Xuan married Qin Xun.
Facing the daughters, Changsun Wuji's expression improved a lot, showing a rare kindness.
Chang Sunxuan asked her father, "Why is it okay? Shuniang's husband is about to resign from Luoyang? Shuniang married the princess to the Qin family and stayed in Lingnan for several years. Now she finally returned to Beijing. Why did she have to leave again? Grandpa, is there some misunderstanding here, can you help intercede with the emperor's cousin and tell Ah Shu's husband not to leave?"
Eldest Sun Wuji didn't know what to say to his daughter, but seeing his daughter Shuniang seemed to be looking forward to it, knowing that her daughter didn't really want to leave Luoyang either.
sighed.
"This matter is a bit complicated."
Elder Sun Xuan asked, "Is it true that my uncle wants to resign himself?"
The two sisters of the Changsun family married two brothers of the Qin family, and the eldest Sun Xuan could call Qin Lang brother-in-law or uncle.
"It's a long story, but Shuniang can stay in Luoyang, and doesn't have to go with Qin Lang. He has to go to Chang'an first, and he may return to Lingnan after next spring."
Chang Sun Shu thought for a while, "If this is the case, then my daughter will stay with her natal family until next spring, and then go south."
"Ms. Shu, you can stay in Luoyang. Even if uncle returns to Lingnan temporarily, he can always find a way to come back. Maybe things will change next year, so there is no need to leave. You are at home, and you can easily follow around. Running around is not."
In fact, Chang Sun Xuan was also a little selfish. He knew that Qin Langdian had resigned, and even resigned the official Guangluqing that her husband Qin Xun had just conferred.
She wanted to ask her father what was going on with this matter, and even more wanted to know whether Qin Lang's sudden resignation had offended the emperor's cousin and whether it would affect her husband.
The mother-in-law Cui and her husband Qin Xun both wanted to know these, and asked her to ask.
Changsun Wuji is very regretful now, why was he careless, he didn't find out early that the emperor's real intention was to drive Qin Lang away, otherwise he would never have let the emperor succeed so easily.
No, this matter cannot be left alone.
"You guys talk, I'll talk to Saburo!"
Just getting ready to go out.
The envoy sent by the emperor to announce the edict has arrived.
The servant in the palace came in with an imperial edict and smiled, and congratulated him as soon as he saw him.
Changsun Wuji waited for the edict to be read out, but there was no joy.
Review the school's ministerial order, and preside over the Zhongshu and the sect's two provinces? What does this mean? Shouldn't he be in charge of the three provinces alone?
Is he going to replace Qin Lang as the chief assistant?
Just as Qin Lang was crowned King of Lusong County, and then he kicked Qin Lang out of the court, he turned around and conferred on him the titles of inspecting the school and presiding over Zhongshu's subordinates?
In the eyes of outsiders, it is undoubtedly his eldest grandson Wuji who pushed Qin Lang out of the court center and snatched the position of chief assistant?
Then the emperor granted official titles to all four sons of Changsun Wuji, and even his eldest grandson, Changsun Yan, who was only sixteen years old, was also named Duke of Jincheng County.
Three county officials and one county official.
Chang Sun Chong conferred the title of Doctor Jin Ziguanglu on the third rank, and the secretary supervised the third rank.
And another generous gift of 100,000 coins!
Isn’t this f*cking like yellow mud falling off the crotch, it’s either **** or shit, can’t tell at all?
Changsun Wuji's face was dark, and he was not at all happy. This made the congratulatory servant a little confused, and finally he had to shut his mouth embarrassingly.
Fortunately, Changsun Xuan is a very shrewd woman, so she quickly asked the housekeeper to prepare a thank you gift for the servant who came to pass the decree and all the attendants. She learned from her mother-in-law Cui very well in this respect.
"Grandpa, this is a good thing, why isn't Grandpa happy?" Zhang Sunxuan asked her father after sending away the envoy.
Changsun Wuji thought to himself, can I be happy?
He turned around and went to the study to write the decree of refusing the reward.
After a while, he asked someone to submit the will, and then rushed to Qin Lang's mansion by himself, wanting to explain it to Qin Lang.
Facing the sudden visit of eldest grandson Wuji, Qin Lang didn't seem surprised.
At this time, there was still a lot of traffic outside the Qin family on Cherry Island. Even if Qin Lang resigned, there were still many people who wanted to visit the Grand Master.
Everyone felt that with Qin Lang's meritorious status, the Qin family was a top wealthy family.
Some people even think that Qin Lang's resignation was just a show, a fake resignation. When he goes to Chang'an to finish the funeral of the late emperor, he will definitely return to the court, and he will still be the chief assistant.
At this time, hurry up to run around, maybe you can still have the benefit of burning a cold stove. Although Qin Lang is not a cold stove, he must try it if he has the opportunity.
It's just that Qin Lang refused to receive guests.
Facing the old man barging in with a dark face, Qin Lang could only greet him with a smile.
"What are you doing, your housekeeper won't even let me in!"
"I'm packing my bags, so the house is a little messy."
"Do you really want to go?"
Qin Lang chuckled.
He had already taken off his crown and hung his seal so rudely in the palace, and the emperor had no intention of keeping him, so he accepted his resignation, although it was not completely accepted.
However, it was changed to Pingzhang's military and state affairs, serving as the etiquette envoy of the mountain mausoleum, escorting the late emperor's coffin to Zhaoling in Chang'an for burial, and directly stating that there was no need to go to the capital to Pingzhang's political affairs, which actually showed the emperor's attitude.
Can't wait.
I'm afraid Qin Lang will go back on his word.
Qin Lang naturally didn't intend to go back on his word and procrastinate. In his opinion, this result is actually not bad.
Everyone saved some sympathy.
It's better than the ugly and embarrassing in the end, and if it is really embarrassing, Qin Lang knows that it will not be ugly at that time, but a terrible thing.
Changsun Wuji poured himself a cup of tea, and then slowly said the order he had just received when he went to see the emperor and returned home.
"It is only natural for the eldest grandson to assist the government as uncle Yuan."
Changsun Wuji sighed, "I misunderstood you before, and I didn't expect that the emperor would act so radically."
Qin Lang doesn't think that the sword is slanted. This can only be said to be the emperor's original character. It was like this when he was still called Cheng Qian. It's just that Jian Guo has been suppressing his temper for a few years, and now he finally doesn't have to pretend anymore. Just let go of your nature.
"Actually, grandson don't have to worry too much. One emperor and one courtier, grandson and I can be said to be veterans of three dynasties, but since we are veterans, we have to accept the fact that there are newcomers. The younger the emperor, the less Those who are willing to be dictated in front of the old minister, don't you think it was the same when the first emperor first came to the throne?"
After Li Shimin seized the throne, how many veteran prime ministers of the Wude Dynasty were able to sit firmly in the new dynasty?
Think about Pei Ji's refusal to abdicate, what will happen in the end?
Think about Feng Delun again.
Even Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, Yang Gongren, Yuwen Shi and these people, in fact, they can only be said to have been tossed and tossed by the emperor in the Zhenguan Dynasty.
Qin Lang didn't want to be ignorant of the times, still less willing to be tossed about, and even less willing to die in the end and his family to be destroyed.
Li Shimin still behaves according to the rules, unless it is absolutely necessary, but Cheng Qian is by no means a person of rules.
"One emperor, one courtier." Changsun Wuji read this sentence with a complicated expression.
But he gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not the kind of person who loves power, but if I let go now, how can I rest assured? It's not easy for me to assist the late emperor for decades to create this prosperous world. The late emperor entrusted us, we have to do our duty with all our heart?"
Qin Lang feels that Changsun Wuji has always been a power-loving person, and usually likes to hold power, so this is not entirely true. Although he has feelings for Li Shimin and has a public heart and patriotism, he must also have a selfish desire not to part with power.
For men, power is a poison, an addiction.
Even Qin Lang himself is not that kind of unrestrained person. The reason why he was willing to withdraw from the center and leave the court was only because he saw a greater danger.
Furthermore, after all, he still has a piece of private land in Luzon, where there is more room for him to develop. On that private land, he can develop and create according to his own ideas.
It's not like in this Luoyang court, it is difficult to get the support of a sage like Li Shimin if you want to play, let alone, in the current environment, no matter how hard you work, it may not be good.
Trying too hard, it may make Li Yin worry that this is trying to steal power and manipulate the country.
Qin Lang didn't intend to persuade Changsun Wuji. In essence, they are two kinds of people. Although they formed a political alliance in the past, and even became Weng's son-in-law, they have been attacking and defending the alliance for more than 20 years.
But it also drifted away early.
Now they have come to a fork in the road.
Qin Lang chooses to go to the left, but Changsun Wuji must go to the right.
Qin Lang knew very well that there were dangerous tigers, leopards and wolves on the road to the right, but he didn't intend to remind him, because the reminder at this time would not have the slightest effect, and might misunderstand Changsun Wuji.
Just like before, the emperor easily let Changsun Wuji misunderstand that he wanted to steal power and take over power, and immediately slapped him badly.
Some things and some people, don't give up if you don't hit the south wall.
The future of Changsun Wuji's family is not good according to Changsun Wuji's choice. It may go down the old road of history. This is not a historical inertia, but due to Changsun Wuji's character. Contradictions with the elders, when these contradictions accumulate, they will explode.
In history, how many power officials can die well?
In the final analysis, power harms people, and they all want to fight for power.
Even a sage like Li Shimin wants to kill Pei Ji, let alone Cheng Qian?
It is impossible for Changsun Wuji not to see through and not think of these things, but sometimes the poison of power is addictive and makes people unable to give up.
Different road non-phase plan.
Even the son-in-law Weng will eventually part ways.
But before leaving, Qin Lang still has something to say to his eldest grandson Wuji, or some business to do!
