Chapter 1393 Loyalty to the Qin Family
"What are you talking about? Could it be that my Qin family won a lot of polo and made everyone angry?"
Qin Lang said with a smile, he was not shocked by Cui Yixuan's pretentious shocking words, it is really too much shock for later generations.
The afternoon sun shines on the body through the glass ceiling, which makes people feel warm. Sitting in this sunny courtyard, you only need to wear a spring shirt.
Cui Yixuan didn't come in and took off his outer coat before he came in, and he also felt a little hot at this time. Seeing Qin Lang's smile, he continued to stand and said, "The grand master should know that I am not talking about polo."
"hehe."
Of course Qin Lang also knew the meaning of Cui Yixuan's words, but he didn't want to pick up on it.
"Does the Grand Master want to be Huo Guang of the Han Dynasty?" Cui Yixuan had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to ask.
"I'm not interested in being someone else, I'm just myself."
"But now the Taishi's situation is already Huo Guangyi. The Taishi is well-read and knowledgeable. He has written books and made books. He has published military books and written history books. You should know the fate of the Huo family."
"Grand Master, no matter how powerful Huo Guang was in life, if he decides the government by himself, he will not be able to escape the punishment of his family after his death. Besides, it has only been a few years since Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang and others have been punished?"
The power minister is the ultimate, not as good as Huo Guang.
But Huo Guang was also a rare power minister who died well, but Liu Bing had been enduring it all the time, and only after Huo Guang died did he start to liquidate the Huo family.
General Sima, Huo Guang was once above the emperor.
After the death of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Huo Guang was entrusted by Emperor Wu to assist the government and became the chief auxiliary power of Liu Fuling, Emperor Zhaodi of the Han Dynasty. This is the same as the 21st year of Zhenguan at the foot of Mount Tai. , is also the chief assistant.
In Emperor Zhao's reign of the Han Dynasty, Huo Guang killed the other four Gu Ming ministers who were also assisting the government, and he was able to monopolize power. Under his auspices, the Han Dynasty was able to recover from the mess left by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and opened the Zhaoxuan ZTE. great situation.
Eight-year-old Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, who succeeded to the throne at the age of 13, died of illness at the age of 21. He never even had a real chance to govern himself, which allowed Huo Guang to continue to rule the Han Dynasty.
Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty had no son, and Huo Guang welcomed Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to ascend the throne, King Liu He of Sun Changyi, but only twenty-seven days later, he abolished the new emperor he had appointed in the name of adultery and immorality, and replaced him with the great-grandson of Emperor Wu, Liu He, who was already ill. For the later Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty.
Huo Guang, like Yi Yin of the Shang Dynasty, practiced abolishing and establishing, so later generations called Yihuo together.
When Emperor Xuan of the Han came to the throne, Huo Guang also said that he would return to power as the emperor, but the young Emperor Xuan knew that Liu He was abolished, but he didn’t respect this powerful minister, so he didn’t accept it. The decision-making of the court affairs still went through Huo Guang’s interrogation before reporting to the emperor.
Later, the Huo family wanted to make Huo Guang's daughter the queen. Emperor Xuan was afraid of Huo Guang, so he found a reason to make his wife Xu the queen. Huo Guang didn't object on the surface, but he opposed the customary conferment on the grounds that the father of Queen Xu had been tortured. It is Liehou.
Then Huo Guang's successor resented the emperor for not making his own daughter the queen, bribed the imperial doctor to kill Empress Xu with poison, and finally forced Emperor Xuan to make Huo the queen.
Cui Yixuan, who is in his seventies, is a son of five surnames. He is familiar with history books. Of course, he is very clear about these histories. He was even an active participant in the abolition of Qin Liwei back then.
Cui Yixuan was very clear about the deep fear of the Supreme Emperor Li Yin towards Qin Lang.
Although the current emperor, Li Zhao, is Qin Lang's son-in-law and nephew, this will not change the emperor's fear of powerful officials. Now that Li Zhao has just been supported by the Qin family, he still needs Qin Lang to stabilize the throne for the time being, but when Li Zhao is stabilized What about after gaining power?
Just like after Li Yin succeeded to the throne, didn't he first drive away the chief assistant Qin Lang who was supported by Dingce, and then spent ten years trying his best to almost wipe out the remaining grandson Wuji and other elders?
Qin Lang has a bad relationship with Li Yin?
He is Li Yin's teacher, and the two married each other's younger sister. This is a close relationship, not to mention the Zhenguan Dynasty. Qin Lang was a firm leader of the princeling party. Without Qin Lang, Li Yin would have been killed Abandoned.
But in the end, imperial power cannot be shared, and the emperor cannot tolerate powerful officials.
"Why doesn't Grand Master think about Yu Wenhu and Yu Wenyong anymore?"
Before Yuwentai, the power minister of the Western Wei Dynasty, was dying, and his sons were young, he handed over the power to his nephew Yuwenhu, and asked him to assist his son. Yuwenhu fought with Yuwentai for many years and was well-known and famous. , for the Yuwen family, that is also very attentive.
Forcing Emperor Gong of the Western Wei Dynasty to abdicate to his nephew Yu Wenjue, and established the Yuwen family's Northern Zhou Dynasty.
At that time, not only was the north and the south facing each other, but the north was also divided into Northern Qi and Northern Zhou. Even after Yu Wentai's death, the princes were young.
In this situation, Yuwenhu's domineering dictatorship killed Emperor Xiaomin Yuwenjue, the abolished Emperor Tuobakuo, and Ming Emperor Yuwenyu, and smashed the two pillar states of Zhao Gui, the Duke of Chu, and Duguxin, the Duke of Wei. The opposition forces headed by Yuwen family stabilized the Northern Zhou regime.
Later, Yu Wenyong, the fourth son of Yu Wentai, was supported as emperor.
But in the end, Yu Wenhu was still tolerated by Yu Wenyong for many years, and finally found an opportunity to recruit him into the palace, and personally led a group of guards to kill him.
Even if Yu Wenhu is a hero of the Yuwen family, but for Yu Wenyong brothers, they cannot tolerate this cousin controlling the government and coercing the imperial power.
So the brothers wanted to get rid of Yu Wenhu no matter who became the emperor, but the first two brothers were too poor, and Yu Wenyong could bear it.
Cui Yixuan persuaded Qin Lang.
"The Grand Master must not learn from Huo Guang, and don't be a Yuwen Hu. If you want to, you can be Sima Yi and Yang Jian! Otherwise, even if the Grand Master can die well, I am afraid that the descendants and grandchildren will not be spared."
"I have no intention of being in charge of the government. It may take half a year or three months, and I will return to Luzon. This time, I may never return to Luoyang in this life. After two or three years of assistance, he will also return to the South China Sea." Qin Lang asked Cui Yixuan, "You said, my father and son are like this, so the Son of Heaven is not at ease?"
"Grand Master, you supported the Supreme Emperor, but how long have you been the chief assistant? You were forced to leave the court, and you have never set foot in the Central Plains for more than ten years, let alone return to Luoyang, but did the Supreme Emperor trust you before? Is the Supreme Emperor still Attacking the Qin family? If it wasn't for the sudden accident of the Supreme Emperor, which allowed Qin Jun to take the opportunity to embrace the present, the Qin family might still be on the fire at this time, and it can be expected that one day, the saint will take Qin Gong in the court. The final liquidation is after the disciples have been cleared or won over one by one."
"I know that the grand master has been managing Luzon all these years. I heard that Luzon is the strongest in Nanyang now, but no matter how strong it is, it is only compared to Linyi and the Japanese feudal clans. Thirty years later, Lu Song will not be able to compete with the Great Tang. As long as the Grand Master has no support in the court, this will eventually be a battle to eliminate the vassal and suppress the rebellion. At that time, Lu Song will become a piece of scorched earth, and the Qin family will It will also be completely erased, even if you sail to Xiyi, but is this result what the Grand Master wants?"
"Sit down, take off your coat, it's warm here, you're sweating profusely." Qin Lang smiled.
What Cui Yixuan said is a possibility, but Qin Lang is not without a backup, just like before Li Yin tentatively attacked the Qin family, Qin Lang immediately responded. After seeing the powerful strength of the Qin family, the emperor had to stop immediately and adjust his strategy.
Datang conquered North Korea, Huyue, and even Mobei and the Western Regions. This is true, but Qin Lang still has the confidence.
"Mr. Cui, you are not the first person to come and say these things to me, and you certainly won't be the last one, but no matter who they are, I have clearly rejected them."
"Why?"
"Don't tell me the grand master dare not gamble?"
"Hehe, it's not easy for the Tang Dynasty to exist today. The prosperity of the Zhenguan Kaiyuan for more than 30 years has allowed a whole generation to stay away from the troubled times and become a real human being. I don't want to fight. The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty also has my share of credit, too. My blood."
"The grand master is poor. You don't want to fight, but others are not afraid of fighting. If you don't take the opportunity today, you will regret it later, and it will affect the family."
"Mr. Cui, I know that you have been kicked out of the court, and you want to do something to restore your status and power, preserve the Qinghe Cui family, and even pave a way for your brothers, nephews, grandchildren, and grandchildren, but the road you want to take now No way."
Cui Yixuan was in a daze. He carefully analyzed at home, and after careful consideration, he came to Qin Lang to persuade him to join him. He believed that Qin Lang had this reputation and strength. If he was willing, the possibility of success would be great.
Now Cui Yixuan has become a dog in the water. Not only will he be dismissed from the prime minister, he will even be exiled from the frontier and become a citizen, and even the official career of his family brothers and nephews will be implicated. It's his south house, and it can't collapse because of him.
If you can't be a minister of the Tang Dynasty, then change the dynasty and support Qin Lang as the emperor, and their Cui family will also lose their contribution to the founding of the country by supporting Conglong.
He has always believed that Qin Lang is definitely not the kind of person who doesn't care about power, otherwise Qin Lang would not rush to Luoyang from the South China Sea. Although Qin Lang resigned from many part-time jobs and repeatedly claimed that he would return to Luzon soon, but he Do not believe.
Because if he were Qin Lang, even if he had no intention of usurping the throne for the time being, who would easily give up the monopoly power that he had obtained?
"I don't want war, let alone destruction."
"Teacher, the throne is only one step away from you. As long as you reach out, the throne will be yours." Cui Yixuan felt heartbroken, as if he had lost his throne.
He didn't feel sorry for Qin Lang, but was angry that Qin Lang refused to usurp the throne, angry that Cui Yixuan couldn't be a hero, angry that the Cui family couldn't stand up.
"Cui Gong, this world is not full of you and your Cui family. In the eyes of your five surnames, it doesn't matter who is the emperor, no matter whether he is a barbarian or a barbarian, no matter whether he is a warlord or a scholar, or even a rebel. Thieves, it doesn’t matter, anyway, you support whoever becomes the emperor, you only have your own eyes, only your own family interests, and you don’t care about the world, the common people, or the country or nation.”
Qin Lang expressed Cui Yixuan's true thoughts in one sentence.
"The Great Tang established the country for nearly fifty years, bringing the world into unity and the people's well-being. The world is grateful to the Emperor Tang. There are many people who are loyal to the Li family, including me, Qin Lang, and the Qin family."
"The Qin family in Lusong is the ruler of the sage ancestors, and they will be loyal to the Tang Dynasty. If there are rebellious officials and thieves who dare to plot wrongdoing and steal the country to usurp the throne, the Qin family in Lusong will be the first to raise their flags and fight against the king!"
Hearing the loud words, Cui Yixuan was full of disbelief.
"I, Qin Lang, will never be Yi Yin and Huo Guang, let alone Yu Wenhu and Yang Jian."
Qin Lang served tea to see off the guests, and Cui Yixuan left Shanglin Garden in a daze.
"Cui Gong wait a moment, this is a painting given to Cui Gong by the grand master, let Cui Gong take it back and hang it at home, and enjoy it with his children."
Cui Yixuan opened it, but it was the Duke of Zhou who was responsible for the princes of the Cheng Dynasty. This picture has a lot of background. The Duke of Zhou ruled for the young King Cheng.
