Chapter 945 Wei Party and Wu Party
Silang and Liulang heard that brother was back, so they rushed over to see him. These two brothers had more correspondence with Qin Lang when they were in love. Because of their status as bastards, their father was not in Beijing, and the Cui family was far away from them. Qin Lang always thought about his brothers.
I often send things to my brothers, and I will never forget them on my birthday.
"Brother, the way back is so fast this time."
The two brothers are actually about the same age as the fifth child. The fourth child and fifth child are also thirteen in the same year, and the sixth child is twelve this year. But when the two brothers stood together with the fifth child, there was a big difference immediately. The fourth child and the sixth child looked very strong, as if they were the younger Qin Lang.
Although the fifth child is as tall as the brothers, he has lost a lot of weight. The fifth child listened to Cui's teachings and rarely touched bow horses, but although the fourth and sixth child were studying in the Imperial College, they established their own polo team in the prison. Their mounts and equipment were all supported by Qin Lang. The two brothers had superb polo skills, and the team they led even won the third place in the Guozijian Polo Competition this year.
However, the two brothers don't like poetry and classics a little bit. Their cultural achievements are very average.
"Silang Liulang sit down quickly, what are you doing yelling." Cui was dissatisfied.
The two brothers became much more honest all of a sudden.
Qin Lang didn't say anything when he saw this.
After chatting about homework for a while, Mrs. Cui drove the fourth and sixth back home, forcing the fifth to stay longer.
"Sanlang don't pass by Pingkangfang tonight, it's raining heavily outside, why don't you just stay and rest for the night, I'll let Wulang accompany you." Cui Shi said.
Qin Lang said with a smile, "Fifth Brother studies hard, so I won't bother you. Fifth Brother should also go to rest early. After a few days, I'll come and get close to Fifth Brother. Tonight I will be with you Let's sleep together."
Qin Qiong nodded, "Well, we have rarely seen each other these past few years. I was in Songzhou and you were in Beijing, but I went back to Beijing and you went to Lingnan. Recently I have always suffered from insomnia, so you just happened to chat with me. "
The two of you have really had a lot of heart-to-heart talks over the past ten years.
Cui Shi also wanted Qin Lang to get closer to his son, but Qin Qiong frowned, so Cui Shi had no choice but to smile and take Wu Lang down.
The Duke of Qi's mansion is very large, with more than 200 mu of land, which is extremely rare in Chang'an, the capital.
In fact, there are only a dozen nobles with such a large mansion in Beijing, such as Yu Chigong, who relied on the Xuanwu Gate to save him, so Li Shimin directly rewarded him with the mansion and property of King Yuanji of Qi afterwards. , making him directly one of the top richest people in Chang'an.
Of course, Qin Lang's Duke of Wei's mansion is on par with Qi's mansion.
Although Qin Lang separated and went out early, Qin Qiong kept his original yard for his son. The house was fully furnished, and even the necessary servants were never missing. They still cleaned it every day, and it was very clean and tidy.
Qin Qiong deliberately brought Qin Lang back here to sleep.
The two fathers fell asleep on their feet, and lay on the same couch.
"Cui Shi is actually not a bad person. Although he is not close to Shiro and Liulang, it is not bad, so don't worry about it." Qin Qiong opened his mouth, but instead spoke good things for Cui Shi.
Qin Lang rested his head on his arms, the room was very warm, and the bedding was also high-end, with a velvet quilt and a bearskin back cushion.
The pillows are fluffy, and the room is fragrant.
"I know, it's just that the eldest lady seems to want the old five to learn essays. Xiwen is nothing, but she doesn't let bow and horse practice at all, which is a bit too much. Look at his body, as thin as a bamboo pole. They are all read as weak scholars, and if this continues, they will be powerless. Even the children of five surnames and seven families do not have such a reading method, who is not a gentleman with six arts, and both civil and martial arts? "
Qin Qiong sighed, "I stayed in Songzhou before, and I didn't take it into account. Although I have been in Beijing for two years this time, the fifth child has already become like this. I asked him to practice bow and horse, but he has no foundation at all. It can't be done, and Cui Shi is not willing, I am tired of messing around, so let him."
Qin Lang didn't talk about it any more. The two of them were silent for a long time, and they both had thousands of words to say, but they didn't know where to start.
"There are rumors in Beijing that you are very domineering in the south of the Five Ridges, that you have fornicated the queen of Linyi, and even forcibly snatched the daughter-in-law of Cuan Hongda in Yunnan?"
"Does Grandpa believe it?"
"I remember that you took the risk to take in Mrs. Zheng." Qin Qiong said bluntly.
Qin Lang could not help but blush, when he was young and frivolous, he did things without thinking, all on the spur of the moment. Thinking of Zheng Shisanniang, he couldn't help feeling sad, this woman is very special, who would have thought that after entering the palace, she would die so early.
"Young people are romantic and lustful, I can understand, but there are some things that have to be done within limits, and you can't cross the line. Although my Qin family is not as famous as the five surnames and seven families, it has been passed down for hundreds of years, and the family rules are strict. You can't be young If you are proud, you will forget about it.”
Qin Lang was silent for a while.
"Grandfather has been in Beijing for the past two years, how do you think the prince is doing?"
Qin Qiong froze for a moment.
"The prince has grown up." After a long time, that was all he said.
"Well, I grew up and messed up."
Qin Qiong said, "It's actually not bad. After all, the prince is also a human being, and he also has emotions and desires. In recent years, the sage has given more and more power to the East Palace. The prince often supervises the country and regents, and the Yongzhou mansion is also led by the prince himself. "
Chengqian has more power in his hands and has done a lot of things. Of course, there may be some things that are not good enough. Even today, not everything is done perfectly right.
"The sixth prince, Qi Wang Li Yin, is called domineering, doing evil, and not listening to instructions." Qin Qiong talked about the sixth prince who was about the same age as the fourth and third brothers, and couldn't help shaking his head. The one who is now famous in Chang'an City naughty.
Li Shimin scolded him more than once for being inferior to a beast.
In contrast, although Cheng Qian disappointed many people, it was just that his expectations were too high, and there was a sudden gap.
"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Qin Lang said, freezing three feet doesn't happen in a day.
There is also an old saying among the people that one meal can spoil a cub, and one meal can spoil a pig.
"Grandfather has been in Beijing for the past two years and has often accompanied the saint. What does the saint think of Wei Wangtai?"
Qin Qiong didn't expect Qin Lang to ask this question.
"This isn't something you should be thinking about."
"Grandfather, I know you always just want to be a pure minister, but in fact, after entering this center of power, no one can easily stay out of it. Too many people are involved in Prince Chengqian, and our Qin family especially involves Extremely deep, you also know that the people have long regarded me and my eldest grandson as the leaders of the princelings. If you don’t want to participate in it, grandpa, you will still be regarded as princelings.”
"What exactly are you trying to say?"
Qin Qiong asked his son.
"I just want to know the current attitude of the next sage, how much disappointment he has accumulated towards the crown prince, whether his favor towards Wei Wangtai is just because the father loves his son, or whether he intends to train another crown prince's replacement, or just wants to use Wei Wangtai to stimulate and beat him The next prince."
Qin Qiong said with certainty, "The Holy Majesty is indeed a little disappointed with the prince now, but it is too early to say about abolishing the establishment."
Qin Lang nodded. This is about the same as he expected. Li Shimin's love for Li Tai may be due to the fact that Li Tai is more capable of doing things and acting to please Li Shimin. Li Tai adopted his brother as his heir, which may also be a debt, so I want to make up for it as much as possible. Moreover, it does not rule out that he intends to deliberately use Li Tai to beat Chengqian.
Let Chengqian increase his sense of crisis a little, don't think that he is the eldest son, and his position as the crown prince will not change.
The emperor has the mind of an emperor, and he considers issues from different angles, so naturally he draws different conclusions.
But now the emperor's behavior sent a bad signal. Cheng Qian was indeed beaten, but it seemed that he was stimulated too much, causing his emotions to lose control.
As for Li Tai, he was even more irritated.
"Grandpa, do you know that there is a Wei royal party quietly appearing now?"
"Wei Wangdang?" Qin Qiong was surprised, he had not heard the word Wei Wangdang in Beijing for two years.
"No one in Chang'an has openly called out the Wei Wang Party, but in fact Wei Wang Li Tai is running such a crony party and has attracted many people."
The signal sent by the emperor not only stimulated Chengqian and Li Taida, but actually misled many people. Many people who were originally from Wei Wangfu, or relatives of Wei Wang Li Tai, etc., began to have different thoughts.
Of course, there are also many speculators in the court, thinking that they saw an opportunity, so they moved their minds.
From the merit of the dragon, that is the top level of credit, who wouldn't want to get one?
Look at the four nobles of the Zhenguan Dynasty today, the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, the governors of all generations, and the princes of the state. Most of these people are the heroes of the Xuanwu Gate, and most of them are from the original Qin Palace. People and horses.
In the Wude Dynasty, these people could only be regarded as political marginal figures, far from entering the power center, let alone the core of the Eastern Palace.
According to normal circumstances, these people in Qin Palace, whether it is Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, or Changsun Wuji, etc., will not have much chance to make their mark in this life, let alone be the top of the hundred officials.
But with the support of the Xuanwu Gate on the fourth day of June, all these people followed Li Shimin to heaven, and they were once rich.
This is the strength of the second place.
A little farther away is Yang Guang's success in seizing his heir in the Sui Dynasty, and Li Shimin's change in the Xuanwu Gate is more recent. They all successfully overthrew the eldest son of the crown prince, Yang Suyu Wenshu, Fang Xuanling's eldest grandson Wuji, etc. , are all stimulating those with ambitions.
If Wei Wang Li Tai can be sent to the throne of the emperor, then they will naturally be great heroes of the new dynasty in the future.
"Now Chang'an has not only the Wei Wangdang, but also the Wu Wangdang. Grandpa, the current situation is not peaceful." Qin Lang sighed.
"Wu Wangdang?" Qin Lang was even more surprised. He had been in Chang'an for two years, but he didn't know as much as his son who lived in Lingnan.
There is the Wei Wangdang, and of course there is the Wu Wangdang. They all appeared after Chengqian made repeated mistakes and disappointed the emperor.
"Even if there are these so-called Wei Wangdang and Wu Wangdang, they will never shake the crown prince's position as the crown prince." Qin Qiong said.
"Grandpa, you are very wrong when you say that. Do you know who the core of the Wei Wangdang and Wu Wangdang are?"
After seeing Wei Chang, Qin Lang came to see Qin Lang overnight because he was very shocked.
Because he learned from Wei Chang that Wei Wang Li Tai actually received the secret support of Shangshu Zuo Servant Fang Xuanling, and the Wu Wang Party even had the support of two prime ministers, the Hongnong Yang family and the Lanling Xiao family.
What shocked him the most was Fang Xuanling, who actually supported Li Tai.
This **** thing gets complicated!
