426.Chapter 426
Qin Wan didn't show any displeasure, but he felt a little sorry in his heart - although Chen Xuan was also a smart person, his reaction and insight were a little slower.
Perhaps, the ability can be slightly worse, but loyalty cannot be exchanged.
With the intention of cultivating Chen Xuan, Qin Wan said lightly: "That's because you missed a type of person. β
Chen Xuan was a little frightened, so he heard Pei Xi say very casually: "King Lu, he is suspicious and conceited, he is indecisive when he should be ruthless, and he is too vicious when he should be peaceful." The person who can make him obey must be the one whose interests are absolutely consistent with him for a long time, who can be controlled by him in a great way, and who have some special bond with each other. Not only that, but this person should be very young, have great ability, and have a high spirit, so he will take the initiative to get involved in this matter. β
That's right, initiative.
Originally, this matter had nothing to do with King Lu at all.
During the reign of the first emperor, even if the family was not breathless, it also continued the bad scenery of Taizu and Taizong. For their deformed beings, three generations of high-ranking officials who have not entered the center are in themselves a thing that can make their mouths bubble and their hearts burn. If Qin Wan continues this policy for a few more decades, the family will have a lot of power left, but it will no longer be able to withstand any storms.
At this time, the family desperately demanded that their family could regain their power - they thought that Qin Wan was a female streamer, and they were easy to coax and bully, so they gathered together to seek benefits for their own family, on the condition that they help Qin Wan's regent gain a foothold. If Qin Wan doesn't have the same heart with them, the future days, although he didn't say it explicitly, he knows that it will be difficult.
I also know with my toes, this is a pie painted in front of you, once the family returns to the mainstream position in the political arena, let alone Qin Wan, it is difficult to say how much power the royal family can have. But for many people, the future is far less important than the present, and when people encounter this kind of choice, there is a good chance that they will choose to compromise.
But Qin Wan didn't.
The family didn't know that they had hit the iron plate, they united to force Qin Wan, there must always be a family with enough weight to take the lead, these families studied and pondered, and finally got into Jiang Quan's door, and the reason was also very easy to find - Princess Jiangdu wants to be regent, she needs her own people, Wenchen, let's not mention it, who does she need to think about the general? Definitely one Zhao Su and two Xiao Yu! Goguryeo's wolf ambition, we all know that if Princess Jiangdu is determined to send Xiao Yu to a high position, a war that lasts for a year or two or even less, but only a few months, can make Xiao Yu climb up quickly. is like Su Rui in the past, in his thirties, a very popular minister.
Jiang Quan was not afraid of Xiao Yu, but he did care about this possibility, and he didn't want to see a poor boy for him stepping on his son to climb up. Even if the biological father of this so-called "poor boy" is his brother-in-law's biggest benefactor in his career promotion, it can't be.
For the sake of his family, for his son, and even for himself, he came out of this.
Of course, Qin Wan would not make it clear that the carriage and horse refused, but the family's behavior undoubtedly made her deeply disgusted. However, she has long understood that the family looks like a behemoth, and in fact it is just that. There are still people with different ideas in a family, let alone three or five families, or even a dozen or so families? So this time, she ostensibly negotiated with the family, and after making a difficult choice, she initially agreed to the family's proposal. After all, her ability is limited, and she can't arrange such a good position for the time being, so she can only promote the younger generation of the family first.
Young people, no matter how well you do, as long as you are a civil official and have no qualifications, you will be brought down in a few years, and it will be a matter of one sentence. The generals are even simpler, the South Mansion suppresses your promotion, and the North Mansion ...... If you dare to go to the border and make a fortune there, then don't come back.
Then, Qin Wan pointed the finger at the Jiang family.
No matter how great the power of the family is, it is not so big that any one of them can coerce Cheng DΓΉ of the royal family, since you want to unite, I don't have the energy to deal with all of you, so I will concentrate my forces to deal with your "alliance leader"! I don't believe it, if you do this three or five times, who of you will dare to take the lead.
From the very beginning, Qin Wan didn't plan to force Jiang Luo to stand in line - she was not stupid, Jiang Luo was okay with her senses, and she didn't particularly hate it, and she couldn't accept her meddling in the government, could she push Jiang Luo out? But King Lu made a move and instigated Qin Jing's fool, Qin Jing felt that the Jiang family was so powerful when he heard it, and he encircled Jiang Quan, didn't he entrap Jiang Luo together? immediately sent someone to Jiang's family to hire him, which turned what was originally a simple plan to kill two birds with one stone into a game between the two sides, prompting Jiang Luo to choose one of the two factions to take sides.
This kind of drastic method of becoming a benevolent person if it does not succeed is not supported by enough status, talent, wisdom and courage, and it is impossible to do this step. Therefore, the direction of Chen Xuan's investigation was wrong from the beginning, or rather, it was dark under the light. As Pei Xi said, King Lu's temperament, if you want him to believe in an outsider, it is more difficult than ascending to the sky, but what if the person who gives advice is his son-in-law?
The interests are the same, the blood is connected, and there is a natural father-son righteousness, which is the reason why King Lu's style of acting is very different from before - no matter how pertinent the strategist's construction is, King Lu can't believe it all, and he will always change one or two by himself, this change itself has a strong breath of King Lu himself, but this time, it is very different.
When Chen Xuan heard Qin Wan and Pei Xi say this, he immediately understood, and couldn't help but change color: "The eldest son and second son of King Lu are not successful, and the third son is thirteen years old, and ...... is thirteen years old" If it is really a plan made by the son of King Lu, the most likely is undoubtedly this one, who has such a ability at the age of thirteen, which cannot be underestimated.
"His advantage is that he is a clan, and he is still a man, and my advantage is ......" Qin Wan smiled coldly, opened a fold that had been shelved for several days, and although his tone was shallow, he did not have the slightest contempt for the young opponent, "It is that I have enough power." β
Then, use it against you.
But seeing that she picked up the pen and wrote a heavy "quasi" word on the fold, as if a piece weighed more than a thousand jun, pushing the Lu Wangfu into a more dangerous situation.
The next thing has nothing to do with her, and the real headache is the King of Shu.
The Great Xia clan said a lot and said a lot, and said a little, and now there are only five people who have won the princely throne - the younger brother of the Son of Heaven, King Lu, the third son King Chu and the fourth son King Fu, and the new Son of Heaven, Jiaen, who was able to take the throne of Shu and King Qi at the same level. Of course, everyone knows that this is because King Han's only son is still young, and when he reaches the age of fifteen or the year of the weak crown, with the emperor's leniency, the throne of King Han will fall to him tenth, instead of being demoted to become the king of the county.
As the king of Shu is Zongzheng Siqing, his own affairs must be the first to be sorted out, although he has many children, only the eldest son has a title. Seeing that the first emperor has been gone for more than half a year, Princess Jiangdu has gradually mastered the government, and the emperor doesn't care about these affairs. The king of Shu was also obedient, and understood that he had not done enough before, but now he showed his heart to the side and showed his loyalty to his niece very simply, and then tentatively made a report, and asked the prince to be sealed first.
Qin Wan agreed to the king of Shu, but told the king of Shu that she couldn't be the master of this matter, and she had to ask the emperor for an idea. This is already the meaning of being willing to speak for him, but it will only take a few days. After all, the emperor has recently been addicted to the Taoist scriptures, and the queen is sick again, who knows if they are willing to pay attention to these things? Of course, the King of Shu went home with great gratitude, and the reason why Qin Wan delayed for a few days was of course not only for this matter, but also for the better.
The king of Shu, who was full of joy and waiting for his sons to have titles, was stunned when he heard the decree sent by Qin Wan to make jade and gold books and cast treasure seals - Qin Wan not only registered the prince of Shu, but also gave the other sons of the king of Shu the duke of the county, and the three sons of the king of Lu did not fall behind, and were named the duke of Shouchun County, the Duke of Hengyang County and the Duke of Linzi County respectively.
Those who don't know will feel that the grace of heaven is immense, the emperor and the princess Jiangdu are really worthy of their reputation, whether they are brothers or cousins, they are the same kindness, and the title is not stingy at all. My brother is like this, what more can my husband ask for? To put it mildly, the first emperor was very stingy with the title. Even according to the laws of Great Xia, the prince and his son-in-law must have the title of county duke. However, the first emperor had a hard temper and had heavy expectations for his grandson, even if he was a grandson, he would not give the title lightly in advance, and often did routine work when he reached the weak crown. Unlike now, King Lu's three sons-in-law, the eldest son is only eighteen years old, and the third son is only thirteen years old, and he is already a county prince, how enviable?
The King of Shu knew what had happened in the past few days, and he had also wondered who had done it several times. Now that he knows about this matter, he chuckles in his heart, and understands the affairs of Qin Jing and the Jiang family, King Lu must have intervened, and he couldn't help but complain to his son: "Tell me about these people, they have a good life, what are you tossing around?" β
Although Princess Jiangdu is a woman, she is not a fuel-efficient lamp, look at how people deal with you - how ugly the suppression is, I will praise you, hold you high, the three sons are county princes before they reach the age, the younger they are, the thicker the fief. As for what you think, how you fight internally, does this have anything to do with Princess Jiangdu? Could it be that your brothers are not united and have a disagreement, and your King Lu himself did not teach his son well, so you have to blame others for giving you too much?
The King of Shu is not a gentleman, he has a big family, many brothers, and he has gone through ups and downs, he knows too well what is going on here - the eldest son, it is always different, if only the eldest son of King Lu is given a knighthood today, it is nothing. However, he was given a knighthood with his brothers, but his fiefdom was not as good as his younger brother. In this case, he won't care much about what the Duke of Jiangdu is going to do, he will only wonder if his father and his younger brothers want to take the throne of the world, so let's pave the way first, put the three brothers on the same starting line, and then slowly figure it out
