Chapter 153 Prince
Qin Lang looked at Qin Qiong. At this time, Qin Qiong was actually only in his early forties. For a general, this should be in the golden stage. After all, Li Jing is almost sixty, and he is still young and strong. But Qin Qiong said that he was injured countless times, which is also true. The difference between Qin Qiong and Li Jing is that Li Jing has always been a commanding general.
And Qin Qiong fought all the way from a small soldier. He participated in the conquest of Goguryeo, experienced several years of fighting against thieves in Shandong, and then went to the melee of the heroes at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and then to the beginning of the Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin fought, if the opponent dared to show off his troops to Li Shimin, Qin Qiong would definitely kill the enemy and lead the army.
The price of the brave army and the famous general of the country is that when Qin Qiong took off his armor, his body was covered with scars and his blood was lost.
Of course, Qin Lang believes that Qin Qiong's body is just beginning to go downhill.
"How did Grandpa plan?"
Qin Qiong held Luo Shixin and Dou Hongxian's son Luo Tong with one hand, and Pei Xingyan's brother Pei Xingjian with the other. Qin Qiong had mixed feelings. When he first met Luo Shixin in Qi County, he was the leader of Ding Youfu's soldiers temporarily recruited by Qi County Prime Minister Zhang Xutuo, and Luo Shixin was a middle-aged man in uniform who was conscripted to serve in front of Zhang Xutuo.
Qin Qiong at that time was not much older than Qin Lang now, and Luo Shixin was only fourteen years old. When Luo Shixin first joined the army, he was bullied by some idiots. Qin Qiong passed by to fight for him, and the two became friends. It was only later that Qin Qiong found out that although Luo Shixin was short and thin, he had a lot of strength, and he could even pull two fighting cattle apart.
Actually, even if Qin Qiong didn't step forward to help that day, Yi Shixin's ability could completely overthrow those idiots. It turned out to be the same later. Luo Shixin asked for a battle, wearing several layers of armor, jumped on his horse and shot into the bandits, beheaded several thieves in a row, cut off his ears and returned, which shocked Zhang Shuai.
From then on, Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin, a pair of young people, began to emerge under Zhang Shuai's command. They became partners, either as a forward or as a rear guard. They were extremely brave, and gradually became two generals under Zhang Shuai's command.
Qin Qiong looked at Taipinglang who was carved out of the same mold as Luo Shixin, and sighed to his son, "Sanlang, I know what I am capable of. When I was young, I was brave enough to charge into battle with my blood, but now it is different. Grandpa I am old, and the world is peaceful. A general like me should put Nanshan swords and guns into the warehouse. If he is lucky enough to survive a hundred battles, he should enjoy a few years of peace. It's enough to meddle in the scramble."
"Compared to you Uncle Luo and Uncle Pei, it is enough for me to live to see the world return to peace, not to mention that I still have such a good status now."
Qin Qiong has self-knowledge, the emperor let him be the shepherd of Yongzhou, and also let him participate in politics, this is to look at him as an old man, but how easy it is to be a prime minister to participate in politics, now his son has become the emperor's son-in-law, and he is also a prince at such a young age , He also became the town governor, in charge of a key yamen.
Others say that the Qin family is a family of three men, and both father and son are Ziyu, but Qin Qiong is a little worried.
Mu Xiuyu will be destroyed by Lin Feng, the excessive favor of the Qin family makes him often worried. After thinking about it, Qin Qiong still decided to resign on the grounds of illness, and retired by himself, which can be regarded as giving way to his son. In this way, the Qin family will no longer be a thorn in the eyes of others.
It can even prevent today's kindness from becoming the suspicion and worry of powerful officials in the future.
"Sanlang, I will ask His Majesty in a few days to see if you can be removed from the post of governor."
"What?"
"Sanlang, this town Fusi yamen is not a place to stay for a long time. You and I know what this yamen does. After all, this is a secret yamen, mainly doing those dirty things. You are still young, and you are deeply trapped here. Now, it will be difficult to figure it out in the future. If you want to go far and stand firmly, you still have to stay away from the Zhen Fusi."
Qin Qiong's words are also old-fashioned words. The purpose of the establishment of the Zhenfu Department is to target the remnants of the abolition of the princeling. Even if the abolition of the princeling is no longer a confidant of His Majesty, then this yamen will not be removed easily, and he may become the emperor in the future. A yamen that is inconvenient to disclose private matters.
Qin Lang came from a good family background, his roots are good and he is the emperor's son-in-law. With Qin Qiong paving the way for him, his future is boundless. If he stays in the Zhenfu Division, Qin Lang will be labeled with a bad label in the future. It is difficult to go further up the hall.
Even a yamen like Zhenfusi will inevitably offend many people, and in the future when Baoqi Qin Lang loses power, many people will step on him and be liquidated.
"When the world is peaceful, you will eventually stop martial arts and cultivate literature, so it is better to read more books. You didn't read much before. I think you can calm down and read books for a few years. There is a saying that is good, accumulate a lot!"
Qin Qiong has already begun to plan for his son and for the Qin family, planning a long-term future.
Just like what the Cui family once said to him, when the country was founded, the generals were honorable, but when it was time for peace, the civil servants were inevitably honorable, so if the Qin family wanted to be long-term and prosperous, they had to go to the Boling Cui family. Way, so that the family business can prosper.
Chongxian Hall, also known as Prince Academy, is a newly established academy after Li Shimin succeeded to the throne. It is based on royal family members, empress dowagers, empress dowager relatives, prime ministers and scattered officials. Work from the third grade, the son of Zhongshu Huangmen Shilang.
At the same time, the Chongxian Hall is also the place where the secret books in the palace are managed. This is a large royal library and a royal aristocratic school.
Before this, in the fourth year of Wude, the imperial court set up Xiuwenguan in Menxia Province. Later, Li Shimin changed its name to Hongwenguan, which was mainly a place for princes to study.
Since the emperor succeeded to the throne, the queen and prince have not been formally canonized, but everyone knows that the eldest son Chengqian must be the prince. This Chongxian Pavilion was actually prepared by Li Shimin for Prince Chengqian, and those who were selected to study in it would also be for Chengqian, or in other words, to select the future crown prince team for him.
"What?" Qin Lang asked in surprise.
Qin Qiong looked at his son suspiciously, "I said that I plan to let these children go to the Chongxian Hall to study and study for the prince. The prince is the prince, and the future emperor, it will be beneficial for them to accompany the prince as a child." Speaking of this , Qin Qiong is also a bit selfish, the eldest son and the second son died early, Saburo is a man of integrity, but the other children are still young, especially the son Goro who is too spoiled, he hopes that this child will be sent to the Prince's Hall to study, so that he can understand sooner. Reasonable, even if the ability is not good in the future, but with the love of serving the prince, the future can be stable.
"I heard from your majesty that, like the four princes of Shangshan in the Han Dynasty, set up four guests of the prince in the East Palace, to serve as attendants to advise and praise the etiquette. I think it would be good for you to be the prince's guest if you become the governor."
Qin Lang frowned.
Looking at it now, no one can shake the position of the eight-year-old Chengqian Crown Prince. No one would object to this cute and smart Zhongshan King being canonized as the prince. Judging from the ending after being abolished as a commoner, it is not a good thing to vote in the East Palace now.
Qin Lang thought for a while, and carefully said to his father, "Grandpa, I thought it would be good to see off Xingjian and Tong'er and the others to study in the Imperial College, and Shiro and Goro don't have to go to Hongwen and Chongxian to study. In his teens, how can he remonstrate with a good prince? This must be a minister with high morals and high prestige."
Qin Qiong looked at his son suspiciously. This son was too smart. Before the palace change, he was actively running around, even under his banner. This made him think that his son had grown up and was keen on fame and fortune, but now he felt that Not really. Right now he seems a little unwilling to enter the East Palace, and he doesn't even want his brothers to go to the East Palace.
"Why did you say that?"
Qin Lang saw that there was no one around, so he whispered, "My lord, your majesty is less than thirty years old, and the spring and autumn are at their peak, while Chengqian is only eight years old. Looking at the history books, the more capable emperors are, the more powerful the crown prince will be." Well, like Han Gaozu, Emperor Wu of Han, or Emperor Wu of Wei, Emperor Wu of Zhou in modern times, etc., no one knows what will happen in a few decades, so I think there is no need for our family to rush to the East Palace Take care of your boat, we will be His Majesty's heroes."
Now Qin Qiong frowned even tighter.
"These are unfounded guesses."
"Grandpa, with the current status of our family, do you think it is still necessary to bet like this again? To put it bluntly, our family just needs to follow His Majesty closely and don't care about other things. Then in the future, whoever will be the prince will be the crown prince." Emperor, will our family still be affected?"
"Why get involved too deeply?"
"I always feel that you are not optimistic about Chengqian. Why, I have seen this child several times. He is smart, cute, and talented. He is very popular with His Majesty and Queen."
Qin Lang certainly cannot say that in history, Cheng Qian would rebel, and it was very serious, which eventually led to his being deposed and exiled to death. Not to mention, there will be fierce battles for the position of prince in the future, and countless people will be involved in it in the future, and will eventually die because of this, such as Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji, etc., these first-class families Yi's wealthy families are eventually swallowed by this vortex.
How nice it is for Li Jicheng to learn from others.
It's just that Qin Qiong didn't seem to listen today, and instead persuaded his son, "Chengqian is the eldest son of your majesty, and the crown prince is the foundation of the country. If the position of the crown prince is shaken, the Tang Dynasty will also be in the future." Shaken. Saburo, our father and son, as ministers and confidants of His Majesty, must find a way to keep the foundation of the country from being shaken, this is also to be loyal to His Majesty and protect His Majesty's country and society."
Qin Lang didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Sanlang, if you know something, you must help the prince."
Qin Lang felt the pressure was great, so what if I knew the history, the last time I bet on Li Shimin, I knew he would win, but if he was to be forced to bet on Chengqian, Qin Lang felt very embarrassed, this prince dispute is not easy, the water is deep Really, what ability do you have that can change your fate against the sky?
