Jingwen took Dugu Xin to the inn where the Zhou family lived just now, and Cheng Lin also took the initiative to come over to help. After all, Cheng Lin will be the "eldest sister" in the family in the future, so she naturally wants to help Duguxin, the "little sister" who entered the door later. Although their ages are just the opposite, they are beaten by iron according to the ancient pioneers. Jingwen also divided the inheritance rights of wealth in the future in advance, so there was no need for them to fight for wealth. This is the benefit of being said in advance, at least there is a lot less focus on the fight. And this Dugu family, a kind of Cheng dù is the epitome of the traditional inheritance system, so it is very headache.

And Cheng Lin also introduced the information of this Dugu Kaiyuan, and found that this Dugu Kaiyuan may not be a major minister in the future. Dugu Kaiyuan actually had a certain status as early as the Sui Dynasty and was the Chaosan doctor of the Sui Dynasty. Later, he became a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, and in the later part of Li Yuan's reign, he held several positions, but they were all important positions in Sanpin, and the highest was even the general of Zuowei. The status of the left guard and the right guard is different, the left and right guards are the highest status in the Tang Dynasty and the head of the guards. The manpower of General Zuo Wei can be said to be several times more than that of other Wei generals, and in terms of real power, it can be said that it is not necessarily lower than that of some generals with inferior status. The general is more of a name than a real power.

But after the change of Xuanwu Gate, this Dugu Kaiyuan became the head of the palace and an official position responsible for protecting the palace. Although it seems that he is close to the emperor, it does not mean that the real power has increased. Many times, the position around the emperor is a kind of transfer of officials, just a transition. If someone from another position is the head of this palace, then I'm afraid it will be a precursor to promotion and reuse. But if you move from the Left Guard General to this position, it means that the emperor will deprive you of your military power and put you under his nose to supervise you! Sometimes, it is good to work next to the emperor, and it means that the future is immeasurable. But there are times. It can't be counted like that, it's like moving from a position of real power to a position of servant, can this be called promotion? Therefore, Dugu Kaiyuan is sad.

In fact, that's exactly what it is. It didn't take long for Dugu Kaiyuan to be the head of Miyagi, and he was kicked to Zuowu Houwei as a general, and he was also an inspector with the word "school inspector". This means that the emperor reserves the rank for you, and you can go to the old age by yourself, and you don't have to worry about things. Li Shimin's meaning is to let him be in Zuowu Houwei. Give full play to the residual heat, and then "recuperate" for a few years. As for the specific number of years of recuperation, it depends on the situation. Therefore, Jing Wencai is not afraid of this kind of person who fails in the struggle in the officialdom, because once a son of heaven and a courtier, he is Li Yuan's person, and Li Shimin naturally cannot be reused.

When Jingwen Dugu Xin Zhou and Cheng Lin came to the inn, that Dugu Kaiyuan was still waiting here, obviously he thought they would come back.

"Brother and sister, hurry up and give me the token of the head of the family. Your lineage is extinct, and the second brother has also passed away, so naturally you can't continue to hold the position of the head of the family. Dugu Kaiyuan said.

"No! This is something my husband left me, and I can't give it to you! Zhou said.

And Dugu Kaiyuan said unceremoniously: "Brother and sister." If you don't give it, then don't blame me for doing it. ”

And Jingwen immediately spoke: "Dugu Kaiyuan, what do you mean by bullying a woman like this?" ”

"Jingwen?" Dugu Kaiyuan muttered.

Dugu Kaiyuan didn't expect it. Jingwen actually came, and obviously stood on Zhou's side. Dugu Kaiyuan knew that Jingwen was not easy to mess with, and he had too many unclear relationships with the emperor. If in the words of the afterlife. Li Shimin can be said to love and hate Jingwen, and the relationship is similar to that of a friend. Of course, Jingwen definitely can't have any abnormal relationship with Li Shimin, but it's certain that they have a good relationship. Now Dugu Kaiyuan is a person who has been excluded from the core position, and naturally he doesn't want to offend Jingwen, the emperor's favorite minister. Moreover, the Dugu family has also declined, and it is no longer the Eight Pillars of the Guanlong Group.

"Jingwen, why are you here? This is a family affair of our Dugu family, and it is not something that you can meddle in as an outsider. Dugu Kaiyuan said.

Dugu Kaiyuan sacrificed a big killer, that is, Jingwen is an outsider and cannot interfere in the affairs of their Dugu family. This is quite taboo even after more than a thousand years, and it is not easy to meddle in other people's family affairs, otherwise there will be no saying that it is difficult for a clean official to judge family affairs. Now that Jingwen has made it clear that he wants to intervene, then Dugu Kaiyuan said that Jingwen is an outsider, and if Jingwen intervenes, then I'm afraid it will not be easy for others to solve it. A few years ago, when the Cui family wanted to give Jingwen because of foreign aid, didn't they also want to marry a concubine to Jingwen, so that Jingwen could have some qualifications to intervene? This is enough to show that the ancient clan concept is very strict, and it is not so easy for outsiders to interfere, and there must be a certain degree of kinship.

"Miss Duguxin is my woman, why can't I ask?" Jingwen asked rhetorically.

"Isn't your fiancée the daughter of General Cheng Biting Jin?" Dugu Kaiyuan asked.

Jingwen said: "Who said that a man can only have one wife, can't I take a concubine?" ”

"You actually let the daughter of our Dugu family be a concubine?" Dugu Kaiyuan said angrily.

Dugu Kaiyuan felt a feeling of being insulted, no matter how Dugu Xin was, even if Dugu Kaiyuan wanted to be the head of the Dugu family, he couldn't erase his identity as the head of the family. And Dugu Xin is also destined to be the daughter of the Dugu family. In the Gaomen family, not only sons have the difference between sons and daughters, but also daughters. The identity of the concubine is also different, and the future husband is also a descendant of the same high family. And even if you want to win over some ordinary talents, you are just willing to pay for your concubine, which is the difference.

Dugu Kaiyuan obviously heard that the daughter of the Dugu family actually became Jingwen's concubine, and of course he was angry. Even if the Dugu family declines, even if you take a step back and marry Jingwen, it is also appropriate to be a wife. But it was just a concubine, which made Dugu Kaiyuan feel insulted, and even Dugu's family was disgraced.

"It's Empress Xiao who calls the shots!" Duguxin said.

Dugu Kaiyuan heard that it was Empress Xiao who was in charge, and he sighed helplessly and said, "Since it is Empress Xiao who is in charge, I can't say anything." ”

The Dugu family has a close relationship with the Yang family of the former Sui Dynasty, and they are still relatives. Since it was the queen of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty who was in charge, Dugu Kaiyuan didn't say anything. But now that there is no problem with this marriage, Dugu Kaiyuan will be in trouble, which is equivalent to giving Jingwen a reason to interfere. (To be continued......)
