1511. The choice of Shusun Tong
Among the two princes with the deepest backgrounds in Qi State, Qi Xiaobai didn't value any of them, because none of them met the emperor's standards.
Among the rest of Qi Xiaobai's children, there is actually one who meets the emperor's standards, but this person does not compete for the throne, and he is also very indifferent to the throne.
Qi Xiaobai looked at his uncle and grandson Tong in front of him and said, "Don't say anything modest, among my many sons, who do you want to teach the most?" ”
"I'll let you teach," Qi Xiaobai looked at his uncle and asked.
Uncle Sun Tong was stunned, he felt that Qi Xiaobai was asking him to choose the prince, usually the prince who has a special teacher will become the prince.
"This ......" Shusun Tong didn't know how to choose at this time, this is completely a side, once the wrong choice, then it may be a catastrophe.
Qi Xiaobai looked at his uncle and said, "I have so many children, don't you have one who is optimistic?" ”
"Your Majesty, you are embarrassed by the old minister, once I choose, the battle for the prince in the future fails, so old, I'm afraid the late season will not be guaranteed!" Shusun Tong looked at Qi Xiaobai and said.
Qi Xiaobai looked at his uncle and said, "You are not confident in yourself!" ”
"You elected my officials, and they also formed a faction, they are all headed by your uncle Sun Tong, don't you want to get involved in this prince dispute?" Qi Xiaobai looked at his uncle and asked.
Shusun Tong is in the court, and it can be regarded as a faction, and the members of his faction are from the Jixia School Palace faction, and most of them are from the Jixia School Palace, or they are the talents that Shusun Tong has collected in the people.
These people are only three or two in the middle and high levels of the DPRK, but there are many people at the bottom, and it can be said that it is also a huge factional organization.
Shusun Tong's faction is different from Guan Zhong and Tian Ji's faction, he is naturally formed, because there are too many students, they are afraid of being bullied, so they have to huddle together to keep warm, and this faction is gradually formed.
"Your Majesty, the minister will only be on the side of the victor!" Shusun Tong looked at Qi Xiaobai and said.
He rejected Qi Xiaobai's proposal, among these princes, he did favor a few, but he did not intend to stand on either side, because the final battle had not yet begun, and he didn't know who the final winner was.
Not only did he die alone, but many of his students were probably going to die too, so he chose to stand in line when the outcome of the victory gradually appeared, or when he became a landslide victory.
Qi Xiaobai was not surprised when he heard Shusun Tong's words, but felt that this was very Shusun Tong, because Shusun Tong was such a person, always on the side of the winner.
Whoever is the victor is my close ally.
"Do you know that the benefits you get from this choice are not very high!" Qi Xiaobai looked at his uncle and said.
"Your Majesty, the benefits are proportional to the risks, the interests are not high, which means that the risks are not high, the interests are high, the risks will be high, and the old man cannot take the lives of his students to make this bet!"
"A few years ago, people said that Your Majesty was going to raise Gu, but today Your Majesty is looking for old decay, is it really planning to raise Gu?" Shusun Tong looked at Qi Xiaobai and asked.
"Tiger poison doesn't eat children, how can I do such a thing?"
"I just want to choose the most suitable prince!" Qi Xiaobai looked at his uncle and said.
The emperor's heart is very complicated, and Shusun Tong, like Zhang Tianshang, is very good at figuring out his thoughts, but in the face of Qi Xiaobai, he can't understand it at all.
"Your Majesty, are you telling the old minister about this today?"
"If so, the old minister has no intention of assisting that prince's preparations!" Shusun Tong lowered his head and said to Qi Xiaobai.
Qi Xiaobai looked at his uncle and said, "It's not all about this, I want you to go to Xiang's house!" ”
Uncle Sun Tong was stunned for a moment, then looked at Qi Xiaobai and said, "Your Majesty, please make it clear!" ”
"The State of Qi is going to send troops to Qin Chu and complete the great cause of unifying the world!"
"And the Xiang family is in an important position in Qin Chu, if they can get their support, the battle against Qin and Chu will definitely go smoothly!" Qi Xiaobai looked at his uncle and said.
"Okay, I understand, Your Majesty, the minister will definitely do his best to complete this task!" Shusun Tong said to Qi Xiaobai, although Shusun Tong had a lot of questions about this matter, but he didn't ask, he knew that Qi Xiaobai arranged him, and there must be his reasons.
Qi Xiaobai would not harm him, so he chose to go to the Xiang family to lobby, of course, when he went to the Xiang family, he must first check all the information of the Xiang family and the relationship between Qin and Chu.
Before this, he only knew the Xiang family one-sidedly, and he didn't know much about the depth of the Xiang family.
This is also Qi Xiaobai's appreciation of Shusun Tong, no matter what happens, Shusun Tong will accept it, there will be no objections, even if he is not competent, he will try first and sit down hard.
Of course, if it is something that Shusun Tong really can't accomplish, Shusun Tong will also say important points, and then deny the work.
As for the affairs of the Xiang family, although Shusun Tong has some doubts, he thinks that he can still be competent, after all, he is suitable for lobbying and other things.
Of course, Shusun Tong also knew that this matter was very risky, after all, if he went to the Xiang family, if he did not lobby well, he was likely to be cut down by the Xiang family, or arrested and given to Qin Chu.
"If you can succeed, I will allocate 30 million gold to the Jixia School Palace, and at the same time give you 1 million gold personally!" Qi Xiaobai looked at his uncle and said.
Shusun Tong has been doing his best to develop the Jixia School Palace, and it is also with his efforts that the Jixia School Palace has a lot of funds, so that the development of the School Palace is very smooth and very good.
Of course, Shusun Tong did this, and it was also something that a generation of Confucianism and a generation of saints pursued, that is, to teach more people.
In Qi Xiaobai's eyes, he is the most outstanding educator, the most outstanding educator in Qi State, although in the Confucian style, it is not very good, but in Qi Xiaobai's eyes, he is the most qualified Confucian.
After Shusun Tong heard it, he then clenched his fists and said, "Your Majesty Xie!" ”
"Uncle Sun Tong, in fact, I really hope that you can teach me a son!" Qi Xiaobai looked at his uncle and said.
Qi Xiaobai values Shusun Tong's education level, and he believes that if Shusun Tong really teaches a person from the heart, this person may become the most qualified prince in Qi Xiaobai's eyes.
"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't want to get involved, but if His Majesty's son doesn't choose a separate teacher, the minister is willing to teach them all!" Qi Xiaobai looked at his uncle and said.
Qi Xiaobai smiled, whether it was Qi Zhen or Qi Fei, they all came from Shusun Tong at first, but later they chose a separate teacher.
And the rest of Qi Xiaobai's children, they don't have teachers, and they are still under the teaching of Shusun Tong.
"I see!" Qi Xiaobai looked at his uncle and said.
