Chapter 476: Spirit
Qin Qiong and Cheng Biting Jin are brothers and sisters, they are good buddies who are too iron to be iron, and the old brothers have never worried about the affairs of their juniors, in the past, the Qin brothers and the Cheng brothers were all the same as their fathers, they were people with muscles in their heads. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin chatted, all expressed worry, since ancient times, it is to fight the country immediately, and the country will be governed by horses, after the peace of the world, there are very few places for military generals to be used, and when the time comes, the one who eats well is definitely the talent who governs the world, and the transformation of the second generation of Wuxun is imminent, otherwise, it will only decline from generation to generation, and it will eventually fade out of the vision of the world. As the founders of the family, the two were deeply worried.
Qin Feng's change made Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin see a turning point.
As long as Qin Feng walks smoothly and steadily, the Qin family will definitely go to glory in his hands.
It is not to grow the ambition of others and extinguish one's own prestige. Lao Cheng knew that his group of sons were not as good as Qin Feng when they were tied up, although their generation could still maintain a good relationship, the two brothers had also discussed, and finally decided to push Qin Feng as the leader of the two families.
But what about later?
No one can predict what will happen next.
Therefore, how to kiss and kiss is something that Cheng Yanjin has been thinking about.
Now is the time to do so. Therefore, as soon as the Qin couple spoke, Cheng Yanjin responded without hesitation.
The Cui family is a person of great status, her brother is one of the stewards of the Cui family in Qinghe, and as a person from a family, his vision is undoubtedly very long-term. She saw the current affairs clearly, and also knew that Qin Feng was a promising person, and she was very much in agreement with Cheng Yanjin's decision.
Seeing that Qin Feng not only married Changle, the most prestigious princess of the Tang Dynasty, to his family, but also now even Yuzhang, whose status is second only to Changle, has also been chased, and what is even more surprising is that Li Shimin actually agreed, this favor is absolutely unique in the world.
When she knew again that Qin Feng had married three girls at one time this time, she was amazed at Qin Feng's ability, and she also discussed the wedding with Mrs. Qin with high interest. This nephew wants to marry one of the highest-ranking women in the Tang Dynasty, and will marry her two righteous daughters on the same day, which also makes her as a stepmother feel that she has a lot of face, the old Cheng family is not short of money, and the wedding should be quite grand, even if it cannot be compared with the royal family, it must be done beautifully, making people feel that the Cheng family attaches great importance to these two righteous daughters.
This ancient custom is already complicated, and the wedding with the royal princess at the same time cannot tolerate the slightest sloppiness, neither more than the royal family, but also not too far behind, how to grasp one of the degrees is particularly critical.
Although the topics are all about getting married, it will still take a month or two to get married. So at this meeting, Mrs. Qin and Cui's only finalized the general direction, and as for the details, they could only discuss them slowly. However, Mrs. Qin has the experience of marrying Princess Changle, so she will not make mistakes in her busyness. The elders began to get busy for Qin Feng's marriage. And the party, Qin Feng is extremely leisurely.
Now he has no actual military position, and secondly, his official secretary will take office after the year, so now he is in a blank area in his position, and his small life is very leisurely, of course, he is also happy to enjoy this kind of day, and his wife lives a leisurely and comfortable life, since marrying Changle into the door, he has not let go of everything for a moment, and now he is finally able to find time to partner his wife.
Qin Feng is idle, but some people are very dissatisfied and very unpleasant.
Who?
Naturally, Li Shimin, who was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground and did not have a moment of idleness.
On this day, Qin Feng was summoned by Li Shimin.
In the Ganlu Palace, Li Shimin's face was filled with a cheerful smile, and it could be seen that the supreme ruler of the Tang Empire was in a very good mood.
Without any extra gossip, Li Shimin said: "Empress Xiao, she is Yang Guang's queen, and she is still my elder, and she has been displaced for many years, which is quite pitiful. I intend to give her a house to live out in her old age. But most of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are opposed, and I want to hear your opinion. ”
"Ugh!" Qin Feng's face was stunned.
There is a reason for this.
Qin Feng understood that Ye Shi was not all lies, it turned out that they were based on Li Shimin's courtesy to Empress Xiao.
It is true that Li Shimin is a wise man, but he is a pervert, there is no doubt about it. Maybe he is just like Cao Cao, he has some special life habits, a heavier appetite or something, and he can still accept it.
But now Qin Feng is 100% sure that the so-called things about Li Shimin and Naxiao are false.
Empress Xiao has reached a certain age, and the years have left indelible traces on her body, the boring skin on her face has deep wrinkles, and her head is full of gray-white sideburns, and she can no longer find a pure black one. It's not that he discriminates against the elderly, but he really doesn't believe that Li Shimin, who is in his prime, and gathers handsome, status, and power, will fall in love with an old man......
When Empress Xiao followed Yang Guang in her early years, she naturally wanted to do everything for glory and wealth, but after Yang Guang died, she lived a life under the fence. In ancient times, there were all kinds of expensive skin care products and various anti-aging hormones, which can delay the aging of human skin. In this era, no matter how well maintained people are, they can't resist the traces of time. What's more, Empress Xiao has been living under the fence and far away from the harsh grassland for nearly ten years.
Today's Empress Xiao is a very ordinary and ordinary old man.
"Wrong?" Qin Feng shook his head categorically! If you agree, maybe the bad people will say that when they returned to the Central Plains after welcoming Xiao, they were entangled with her.
"She's my aunt, can't I do my filial piety?" Li Shimin's expression was a little unhappy.
"The rumors are terrible."
"Huh? Where did the rumors come from? ”
"This ......" Qin Feng was speechless, not knowing where to start.
"Say!"
"Okay." Qin Feng said helplessly: "Father-in-law, your intentions are good, I'm afraid that someone will say behind your back that you have bad intentions towards Empress Xiao." It is true that Empress Xiao is a virtuous concubine, but she was famous for her beauty back then, although she was old and decrepit, and she was no different from an ordinary old woman. But the people are ignorant, and what they remember is always her good name and beautiful name. I don't care how old she is now, and I don't care if she's old. You are right to give her a house to support the elderly, but if someone says behind her back that you have ill intentions towards her and plan to come to his golden house to hide Jiaojiao, do you say that you are wronged? Hehe, what Empress Xiao is like, you know, civil and military officials also know, but the little people who like to mess around on the street don't know it. You can't kill everybody, can you? Even if you go on a killing spree, it won't help, it will only confirm your name as a golden house! If the neighbors tell the story that the emperor and Empress Xiao had to tell, hehe, it would be funny. ”
Li Shimin was dumbfounded, he thought carefully about the meaning of Qin Feng's words, the more he thought about it, the more terrifying it became, when he thought of the people who were good at exaggerating, and thought of the people saying that he was in love with an old lady, and Li Shimin, who had never been afraid of heaven and earth, was also in cold sweat and his face was like earth at this moment.
After being stunned for a long time, Li Shimin wiped a cold sweat and said very happily: "I understand." It's not that the ministers of civil and military affairs can't see through it, it's not that they don't think of what you think, but they don't dare to state the causes and consequences as directly and clearly as you, and I almost made them miserable. ”
Qin Feng said: "You don't plan to disobey people and forcibly place Empress Xiao, right?" ”
Li Shimin nodded indifferently and said, "I think there is no right or wrong to respect the old and practice filial piety, and I don't want to pay attention to the opinions of the ministers. It's good to wake you up. ”
"Father-in-law, please forgive the son-in-law for being blunt, according to the judgment of the son-in-law, this Empress Xiao has already come to his senses. Now she is no longer a queen, she is just an old lady who has enjoyed all the glory and wealth and has been tortured. In fact, for her now, as long as she can watch her grandson grow up, it is the greatest happiness. ”
Li Shimin didn't give Qin Feng a clear answer, and his fingers kept tapping on the table, one at a time, very regular.
Qin Feng knew that this was a habit of his own thinking, so he didn't bother but waited quietly on the side.
"Your idea is very good, and you are right, for an old man, the greatest happiness is to watch the younger generations grow up. But Yang Zhengdao's origin is extraordinary after all, if this makes Empress Xiao become an ambitious person, wouldn't I be asking for trouble! Li Shimin considered the right direction, but he has gone astray and walked into a dead end.
Qin Feng can understand Li Shimin's concerns, in the final analysis, this world should belong to the Yang family and Yang Zhengdao. Although the Sui Dynasty was destroyed by the second dynasty, they were loyal to the Sui Dynasty, and there were still many people who were dissatisfied with the Tang Dynasty, but these people were hidden relatively deep and undetectable. As a country established from the ruins, what Datang needs now is a peaceful environment without war to recuperate, the current Datang can not be chaotic, civil strife will only cheapen the surrounding alien races in vain, so Li Shimin is afraid of trouble, and he is even more afraid that Yang Zhengdao will summon the old department to be enemies of Datang in the name of the descendants of the previous dynasty, and destroy the situation that has been managed with great difficulty.
Qin Feng smiled knowingly and asked bluntly, "Father-in-law, are you afraid?" ”
Li Shimin was shocked, staring at Qin Feng in a daze, and sighed for a long time: "Only you, this kid, dare to talk to me like this." Fear? It can also be said that it is not, what I am afraid of is not death or accompanying the entire Li family, but I am afraid that the Tang Dynasty, which has finally calmed down, will be destroyed again, and I am even more worried that the eternal regrets of the Wuhu chaos will be staged again on the land of the Central Plains. ”
"I think my father-in-law has walked into the obstacle he has set up!"
Qin Feng said with a smile: "Actually, father-in-law, you didn't understand the essential difference between the end of Sui and my Tang Dynasty. The son-in-law said something that his father-in-law might not like to hear, and now the world is abusing Yang Guang and degrading Yang Guang as worthless. But in fact, Yang Guang is not useless. He is not bad, but he has not seen the essence of the world. After the great turmoil of the previous dynasty, the people were determined. Emperor Wen Yang Jian was extremely good at accumulating money, and although the treasury was abundant, it was a typical example of the country's wealth and the weakness of the people. In the face of such a situation, as the king of a country, the first thing to do is to make the people rich. But Yang Guang was too ambitious and ambitious, so he directly named his year 'Great Cause', intending to achieve a great cause. It's a pity that they are so ambitious, not only do they not govern the country well, but also make the people rich. On the contrary, the continuous squeezing of the people's power directly led to the demise of the Great Sui Dynasty. In the end, the Sui Dynasty had lost the hearts of the people, and it was really strange that it would not die. ”
Li Shimin listened carefully, and agreed with Qin Feng's words, he said: "What you said is true, Yang Guang is indeed a great person, but he is too anxious, and his impatience has caused the world to twist into a rope to deal with him. If he recuperates and destroys the family one by one, then the world will have nothing to do with me. Yang Guang put his own ideas above all else, regarded the lives of the people as grass and mustard for his own ambition, and regarded the people of the world as tools for his great achievements, enslaving them infinitely. The boat is also the people's water, and the water can carry the boat and capsize the boat. As the emperor, Yang Guang stood above tens of thousands of people, thinking that he could dominate everything, but he didn't know that it was precisely because of the presence of thousands of people that he could become the king of a country. If you don't get the support of the people, you will eventually be overthrown by the people. ”
In all fairness, Yang Guang does have extraordinary intelligence and courage, and everything he does is a great cause that is meritorious in the present and beneficial in the future.
It's a pity that he didn't see the nature of the world clearly and didn't pay attention to the demands of ordinary people.
This was a crucial point in the fall of the Sui Dynasty, and there was no doubt about the conquest of Goguryeo.
The people were already struggling to make a living, and Yang Guang set his sights on expanding the territory to fight Goguryeo...... The Sui Dynasty was in panic, and in the face of Yang Guang's toss, it was haunted.
"Isn't that exactly what it is? Since the father-in-law understands this, what is he afraid of? Qin Feng smiled: "The status of the Sui Dynasty in the minds of the people today is the same mentality as the New Han Dynasty when it looked at the violent Qin. Now, every decision you make is a feat for the benefit of the country and the people, do you think the people will be stupid to support the tyranny? Without the support of the people, even if you give Yang Zhengdao a lot of money, grain, grass, and weapons to encourage him to rebel, he will not be able to rebel. Because he has no soldiers. If there are no soldiers, why should he fight the world. ”
Li Shimin's brows stretched, as if avoiding the clouds and mist to see the blue sky, and said with a smile: "You're right! I swept the world, but today I care about this impossible thing, I really shouldn't be! Besides, you're right, the people have a scale in their hearts, and they still know who is good and who is bad! In that case, I will not break up the poor pair of grandchildren. The founding kings of all dynasties, or the second emperors, always slaughtered the descendants of the previous dynasties in order to avoid trouble, but in my opinion, this is a move that the new dynasty is not confident in, and at the same time, it also means that these founding kings have no room for people. I still have to break this strange circle today, as long as Yang Zhengdao grows up to be a good person, and has good character and talent, what does it matter if I use him again? ”
Li Shimin is full of confidence at the moment, and he has the courage to guide the country!
