Chastity Layman 2

Chapter 391 I want to keep my descendants long

Qin Qiong came to visit in person and asked Sun Wuji, the eldest son of Zhao Guogong, to be the matchmaker of the sixth son and write a marriage letter to the Wu family for Qin Gui.

This surprised Granduncle Sun Wuji a little bit.

In the early years, the samurai Xun was quite popular and favored, but now he has just been relegated to the governor of Lizhou and has lost his power. Now that the Qin family is popular, why does the Qin family want to marry the Wu family at this juncture?

"A samurai is just a merchant, and a daughter of the Wu family may not be a good match!" Changsun Wuji was very considerate of Qin Qiong. It is not a good thing for the Qin family to join the Wu family in this era. It will only be a burden. The current Qin family What is needed is to marry a famous family, so as to enhance the Qin family's reputation.

"Mr. Zhao doesn't know. In fact, this marriage was agreed between me and Mr. Ying at the royal court banquet in the seventh year of Wude."

"Oh, but you didn't make a marriage contract at that time, did you?"

"Also please help grandson!" Qin Qiong smiled and crossed his hands.

Seeing this, Changsun Wuji couldn't help admiring Qin Qiong's character. Most people put more icing on the cake than give charcoal in the snow. However, the Qin family didn't mention the engagement letter when the Wu family gained power. Now that the Wu family has lost power, they have to It's really rare to write a marriage letter.

"Shubao, your upright temper is really rare."

"It's just being human."

The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Qin Qiong, and the more he looked at him, the more he admired him. He is still so young, but he has retired bravely. Now he is willing to retire, does not love power, does not interfere in the government, but his son is promising again, and now he is paying homage to the prime minister for the second time , as the prince's teacher.

Because the nephew inherited Qian, the interests of the eldest grandson's family and the Qin's family are the same.

At this time, Changsun Wuji suddenly had an idea, why not marry the Qin family, in this way, the Qin family and Changsun's family would be more firmly united and escort Chengqian together.

"Shubao, your Goro probably hasn't said goodbye yet, right?"

Qin Qiong froze for a moment.

"Not yet."

"Uncle Bao, there are several daughters in my family, and the three daughters of the first order have not yet been married. Why don't I call you over to have a look? If you like it, how about telling Wulang?"

This really surprised Qin Qiong. Changsun Wuji is the number one confidant of Emperor Zhenguan. Although he does not hold the position of prime minister now, he only serves as Jing Zhaoyin, but in fact, this man is forbidden to enter and leave the palace casually, and the emperor does not care about military and state affairs. It must be discussed with it.

Changsun Wuji was able to say that he called out his daughter-in-law and let Qin Qiong choose one for his son-in-law, that would be a great shame.

It would be nice to give it to the prostitute, but can you choose?
"Don't dare, grandson grandson, this is a serious word. My family Wulang is stubborn, and I'm afraid he won't be worthy of the daughter of the grandson family."

"Shubao even likes the daughter of the warrior Xun, but he looks down on my eldest grandson's daughter?" Changsun Wuji pretended to be displeased.

"That's not what it means, it's because I feel that the family is not worthy."

"How can you be unworthy? Shubao, your family is also a thousand-year-old family. The first ancestor was a disciple of Confucius. It lasted for thousands of years. How many high-ranking officials and ministers have been born, just say your father and son, they all worship together. My eldest grandson's family is from Henan. But you also know that your ancestors are Xianbei people, the clan of the Northern Wei Dynasty, who moved to the Central Plains from Daibei. Hundreds of years ago, they were even called Hulu barbarians."

Qin Qiong didn't know how to answer these words.

"Unless you, Shubao, look down on my grandson's family, otherwise, I think it's a good marriage between our two families."

Qin Qiong couldn't help but cry and laugh.

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "I will accept your uncle's request here to propose a marriage letter to the Wu family for your Liulang, and I will enter the palace tomorrow to ask His Majesty to be a matchmaker for our two families. I'm going to call out my daughters who are born in the first place, you can choose whatever you want!"

"Don't dare to dare, please ask the eldest grandson Wuzhi."

·······
When Qin Lang heard the result, he was very surprised.

Ask Changsun Wuji to be a matchmaker, but Changsun Wuji insists on marrying the Qin family?

"The eldest grandson and the fifth child?"

"I've seen that kid before. He's very good. He's well-educated and well-educated. He's three years older than the fifth child."

Qin Lang nodded, meaning he was only six years old?At the age of six, can you tell that you are knowledgeable?But the point is not here, what he wondered was why did Changsun Wuji think so highly of the Qin family?

The eldest grandson's family is one of the core families of the Guanlong Group. They are still the clan of the Northern Wei Dynasty, with a common surname of Xianbei.

"Is it settled?"

"It has been decided, His Majesty has already decreed."

Qin Lang smiled, "Alright."

In this way, the alliance between the Qin family and the eldest grandson's family was established, and it was determined by the emperor's own decree. Since the emperor was willing to decree, it meant that the emperor did not object to the alliance between the Qin family and the eldest grandson's family.It is estimated that the emperor also saw the relationship between the two families towards Chengqian.

Once this alliance is formed, the two families will become stronger supporters of Chengqian in the future.

But Qin Qiong, who formed this alliance, didn't seem very happy, and he was even more worried.

"I'm worried!" he said to his son. "The status of the Qin family has improved too fast, and it's too ostentatious now."

Qin Qiong felt that Qin Jiade was not worthy.

But Qin Lang didn't think so, many aristocratic families, didn't they also go from the new rich to the powerful, or even from the poor to the powerful.

The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the back waves will always overturn the front waves. This is a historical necessity. Facing this moment, there is nothing to be afraid of.

What's more, now is the time when the old and new dynasties are handing over. The Tang Dynasty overthrew the Sui Dynasty, and Li Shimin's Zhenguan Dynasty replaced the Wude Dynasty. If you don't seize the best opportunity for Gong's rise now, you will miss this wave, and it will be difficult to think about it later.

Countless old nobles will step on them firmly.

Li Shimin is one of the few emperors in history who did not kill heroes. He would not kill them unless he had to. Unlike Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang, they have no reason to make a big case to fill a few sacks. The thorns on the rod are easy to pass.

Therefore, the Zhenguan Dynasty is more beneficial to the upstarts. As long as they don't die, they have a great chance of rising.But there are also big pits to be careful, and this big pit is the battle for heirs.

Historically, this battle for heirs has pitted too many heroes of Zhenguan, such as Hou Junji, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, these top honors, it can be said that they all fell on it.

But now the Qin family was forced to be tied to Chengqian's boat again, and they couldn't get off the boat anymore.

No matter what, Qin Lang has to keep Chengqian, otherwise Chengqian will fall, and the Qin family will also fall.

Qin Lang wants to protect Qian, and Changsun Wuji also wants to protect Qian.

In the Taiji Palace, Li Shimin also tried to find ways to help the crown prince to succeed.

This time, it was caused by an undercurrent of Li Ke being the governor of Guangzhou, which made Li Shimin even more uneasy.The princes are still young, but behind these young princes, interest groups have already begun to form.

In the Hall of Liangyi.

Li Shimin is hosting a banquet for two old ministers, Song Guogong Xiao Yu and Jiang Guogong Chen Shuda.

These two were both prime ministers of the Wude and Zhenguan dynasties, and they both had another identity, that is, they were princes when they were young, Xiao Yu was the prince of Xiliang, and Chen Shuda was the prince of Nanchen, and they still have another identity now , is the emperor's in-laws, and the sons of the two were married to princesses by Li Shimin.

A pot of Guogong wine, a plate of cold-cut five-spice stewed beef, a plate of fried broad beans, a plate of cold cucumber, usually mixed with three shreds, and a plate of drunk green shrimp.

After a few glasses of wine.

Li Shimin talked more and more.

"I want my descendants to last forever, and the country will be safe forever. What's the reason?"

As soon as this sentence came out, the two sons-in-law and family members were a little surprised, how could they suddenly say this.

Both of them are smart people. Although the emperor's sentence is not long, there are two important points. One is the longevity of the descendants, and the other is the eternal safety of the country.

These two points just show that now the emperor is worried that his descendants will not last long, and the country will not be safe forever.

The focus is still on the children and grandchildren. The emperor is worried about the children and grandchildren, but the princes are still young, and the eldest prince Chengqian is only ten years old.

What caused the emperor to start worrying about this?
In connection with some disputes in the court just now, both of them immediately understood the reason for the emperor's doubts.

"Xiao Qing?"

Xiao Yu himself used to be the prince of the former dynasty, so of course he has a certain deep understanding of this topic, so when faced with the emperor's question, he just thought about it and answered, "If the ministers see the long-term status of the previous generation, it is better to entrust the princes to think that The solidity of the rock. Qin merged with the six countries, dismissed the marquis and set up guards, and died in the second generation. The Han Dynasty ruled the world, and the prefectures participated in the construction, and it took more than 400 years. The Wei and Jin abolished it, and it cannot be permanent. The feudal law is true. Comply with it!"

"Chen Qing?"

"Your Majesty, the brother of the prince of the Han Dynasty, guarded the country for 400 years, Wei and Jin abolished it, and the feudal system is valid!" Chen Shuda and Xiao Yu rarely have the same attitude.

Li Shimin sighed and said, "Zhou Feng's children, for more than [-] years, Qin dismissed the princes, and the second generation died. In the past, Empress Lu wanted to power the Liu family, and finally depended on the clan Liu's kings to be safe. Feudal relatives and virtuous, should be descendants for a long time." way."

The emperor's attitude was obvious. Although the princes were young, he had indeed seen some bad signs and began to seek solutions.

Li Shimin himself proclaimed himself emperor through a mutiny, so he was very sensitive to these matters. In addition, he had a good memory of the demise of the previous dynasty, and often compared the affairs of the Yang family and his son.

Yang Guang's self-willedness and excessive suspicion led to chaos in the powerful Sui Dynasty. Yang Guang also seized the throne by framing the prince Yang Yong. When the five-person Yang Guang was in power, the Sui Dynasty did not have a reliable clan as the Ping Fan.

However, Yang Guang had few sons, the prince died early, and his second son was deposed by him for being fatuous and placed under house arrest. In the end, Yang Guang could only let his young grandsons stay in Chang'an and Luoyang. , They stayed behind in the eastern capital of Xijing, but they couldn't do anything at all. Seeing that Yang Guang could only be killed by powerful officials in Jiangdu.

Li Shimin always felt that this was an important lesson from the defeat of the Sui Dynasty.

Recently, after reading the history books carefully, Li Shimin wanted to find some solutions from the historical records, but what he found was that Cao Wei was too harsh on the clan, which led to the Sima family finally usurping Cao Wei's country.

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, all countries were extremely guarded against the clan, and it was difficult for the clan to defend the country. Therefore, during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the regime always perished quickly, especially when it was usurped by powerful officials.

It can be seen from the past that it was 800 years for Zhou to entrust his children, and it was 400 years for Han to enfeoff the country.

Li Shimin wanted Guozuo to last for a long time, and felt that the enfeoffment of the Zhou and Han dynasties was worth learning.

He didn't want his princes to be trapped in Chang'an fighting for the crown prince, nor did he want future generations to be in such a predicament.

If the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan had assigned him feudal titles and established the country earlier, perhaps there would have been no Xuanwu Sect mutiny later.

"Xiao Qing, Chen Qing, how do you think my Tang Dynasty should be divided? What kind of system should I establish so that the country can last forever and the descendants will last forever?"
