Chapter 191: Changes in the Eldest Grandson's Family (2)

Among the many famous ministers in the Tang Dynasty, the eldest grandson Wuji is definitely an alternative figure - in terms of merit, he actually does not have much outstanding among the ministers, neither the conquest of Li Jing and other famous generals, nor the advice of Wei Zheng and others, in terms of talent, he does not have the ability of Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others to cut off Ruliu, nor Yu Shinan, Kong Yingda, who are rich in learning and five cars, and have good poetry and writing, as for the appearance, it is not even more suave, chubby, round, if you take off the court clothes, it is simply like an ordinary businessman, butIn addition to being the elder brother of the Empress Changsun, the main thing is the position of the eldest grandson Wuji - the eldest grandson Wuji has never been a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, but Li Shimin's personal courtier, and this article has determined his unparalleled status in Li Shimin's mind.

The eldest grandson Wuji's ability is not amazing, but he is definitely not a superficial mediocrity, on the contrary, in terms of the ability to be an official, there is really no one in the Manchu Dynasty who can compare with him, especially in speculating on the holy will, if the eldest grandson Wuji thinks that he is the second, no one dares to call himself the first, saying that he is a roundworm in Li Shimin's stomach is not too much, only he can understand the holy will, so he can cater to it, this is the key to his unsinkable sea - the era of imperial power, especially the years when the strong emperor is in power, can understand the holy will, Fang is an undefeated guarantee, the eldest grandson Wuji thinks so and does this, and this is the reason why he can always get Li Shimin's favor.

Today's court situation is chaotic and unclear, the disputes among the ministers are gradually rising, the harem is becoming more and more intense, the prelude to the princes seizing the heirs has been opened, the dark tide is surging up and down the Beijing Division, and the holy will is unknown, no one can see through the fog shrouded in the sky over the imperial city, and the eldest grandson Wuji can also not grasp the overall situation, but there is one thing he is very clear, that is, the candidate for the prince in Li Shimin's mind will definitely not be Li Tai, the king of Wei, of course, as far as the original intention of the eldest grandson Wuji is concerned, he will never support the domineering and arrogant Li Tai to enter the East Palace, therefore, Although Li Tai said it wildly when he visited, the eldest grandson Wuji didn't take it to heart at all, but the old and sophisticated eldest grandson Wuji would never refute Li Tai's face in person, and they talked very happily with each other, however, when it was found that the eldest grandson Chengliang had signs of falling to Li Tai, the king of Wei, the eldest grandson Wuji finally couldn't help but interrupt - the eldest grandson Wuji has a lot of sons, although they are all cautious people, but they are not very talented, only the eldest grandson Chengliang can be regarded as a handsome talent, It can be said that the eldest grandson Wuji has put the hope of inheriting the glory of the eldest grandson family on the body of the eldest grandson Chengliang, and because of this, the eldest grandson Wuji must not allow the eldest grandson Chengliang to take a wrong step in such a major matter as the establishment of the prince.

"Zi Zhanxian's nephew is here." As soon as Li Tai, the king of Wei, left, the old and sophisticated eldest grandson Wuji ignored the dissatisfaction in the eyes of Chairman Sun Chengliang, and greeted Cui Ze very kindly, with an amiable smile on his fat face.

"The student has seen Master Situ." Although Cui Ze often comes to the eldest grandson's mansion and has a close relationship with the eldest grandson Chengliang, he rarely sees Lord Situ who is cautious in his words and deeds.

"Hehe, Zi Zhan is still so polite, back then, your uncle and the old man were equal friends, forgive the old man for his big up, Zi Zhan can just call the old man a uncle." The eldest grandson Wuji shook his hand with a smile, and said politely, without waiting for Cui Ze to speak, his voice suddenly changed, and he asked with a smile: "Zi Zhan, Chongwen Pavilion is now being ordered to revise "Law Shu", how is the progress?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji asked about the progress of "Law Shu", but in fact, he was issuing an expulsion order, Cui Ze was a smart person, how could he not hear the meaning inside, and understood that the eldest grandson Wuji had something to discuss with the eldest grandson Chengliang, so he didn't dare to stay longer, so he respectfully bowed his hand and said: "Returning to Lord Situ, now that the matter of "Law Shu" has been revised and half of the Tai Ban, there are a lot of trivial matters, and the student is fortunate to be able to enter the Chongwen Museum, and he does not dare to have the grace of the saint, and the student has retired. ”

"Well, Zizhan is young and promising, and he can be diligent in government, and his future prospects should be limitless, and he is looking forward to it." The eldest grandson Wuji nodded appreciatively, waved his hand lightly, praised Cui Ze, and then Cui Ze retreated.

"Father, child, ......" The eldest grandson Chengliang, who was standing silently all the time, saw his father driving Cui Ze away, and immediately became a little dissatisfied in his heart, and when Cui Ze left, he immediately spoke and tried to explain the first and second, but he never thought that the eldest grandson Wuji didn't give him a chance to speak at all, pulled down his face, waved his hand, interrupted the eldest grandson Chengliang's words, and said calmly: "Go to the study if you have something." As soon as the words fell, regardless of the expression of the eldest grandson Chengliang, he stepped into the second door by himself.

"Alas!" Seeing that his own Lao Tzu behaved like this, the eldest grandson Chengliang stomped his feet angrily, and helplessly followed behind the eldest grandson Wuji, and the father and son walked into the inner courtyard study without saying a word.

"Say whatever you want." The eldest grandson Wuji, who was sitting at the top, was silent for a while, and then he glanced at the eldest grandson Chengliang, who was standing with his hands down, and said slowly.

The eldest grandson Chengliang looked up at the eldest grandson Wuji, sighed slightly, sorted out his thoughts and said: "Father, the child thinks that the current situation in the court is chaotic, the attitude of the Son of Heaven is ambiguous, the princes are vying for the throne, the harem is in chaos, and my eldest grandson's family cannot stay out of the matter. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji raised his eyebrows, and asked quietly: "Oh? Let's go? How do you plan to act? ”

The eldest grandson Chengliang showed a ruthless look on his face, and said with a cheek: "Father Mingjian, the child thinks that the rebellion in the inner court seems to be provoked by King Wu and his family on the surface, but in fact, there must be Li Zhen, a dog thief, behind him, and his intention is just to push Concubine De to the throne of the queen, so as to seek the identity of the son-in-law, so as to pave the way for him to enter the East Palace, Sima Zhao's heart is known to everyone!" If he is allowed to succeed, the Tang Dynasty will be chaotic, and my eldest grandson's family will have no peace, so the child thinks that my eldest grandson's family should expose the sinister intentions of this thief to His Majesty, and he must not let his treacherous plot succeed, secondly, the child thinks that His Royal Highness King Wei has both ability and political integrity, and has the support of important ministers, plus it is a blood relative of my eldest grandson's family, and his ascendancy should continue the glory of my eldest grandson's family. ”

"Childish!" The eldest grandson Wuji was furious, slapped the coffee table beside him, Huo Ran got up, paced back and forth in the study for a few steps, looked at the eldest grandson Chengliang angrily and lovingly for a while, sighed and said: "Liang'er, for my father to know that you hate His Royal Highness King Yue deeply, but you must not be lost by hatred. ”

The eldest grandson Chengliang was not intimidated by the fierce color of the eldest grandson Wuji, and said in a loud voice: "Father, the child has never been blinded, and the two facts of the establishment and the establishment of the prince are one, and now His Royal Highness the King of Wei has the general momentum, as a son-in-law, and won the hearts of the people, should be the best candidate for the East Palace, if my eldest grandson family can come forward to support the King of Wei, it will definitely enter the East Palace, once this is the case, the so-called battle after the establishment will inevitably disintegrate, once His Royal Highness the King of Wei ascends the throne in the future, my eldest grandson family will have the merit of the dragon, and he can ensure the glory and wealth of the family." ”

I have to say that the eldest grandson Chengliang is very politically minded, and this analysis is also the first thing to say - now there are many important ministers standing behind Li Tai, the king of Wei: Du Zhenglun, Qin Wenwen, Wei Ting, Wang Qi, etc., which one is not a person in a high position, and then counting the ministers such as Fang Xuanling and Yan Lide who have an ambiguous attitude, more than half of the important ministers of the court are among them, and their power is higher than that of the other princes, and it is even more rare that Li Tai is also very favored by Li Shimin, if there is really any deficiency, That is, there are fewer people in the army who support Li Tai's ascension, but this is not too much of an obstacle, after all, under the Tang military system, the generals actually do not grasp much military power, and the right to speak in the court is far less high than that of civilian officials.

Although the eldest grandson Wuji is not famous for his talents, he has been in the court for many years, and he has already become a fine character, how can he not know what these things the eldest grandson Chengliang said, but the eldest grandson Wuji, whether it is out of holy will or private will, does not want to make Li Tai the prince, at least at the moment, there is no such plan, the reason is very simple - regardless of the holy will, as far as Li Tai's domineering and arrogant appearance, the eldest grandson Wuji is not very pleasing to the eye, besides, now Li Tai is surrounded by important ministers, There are not many eldest grandson families, and there are not many young grandson families, how can you really get the merit of the dragon when you go to Li Tai to hold stinky feet? What's more, according to the eldest grandson Wuji's view, Li Shimin has no intention of making Li Tai the prince at all, but vaguely has the intention of establishing the king of Jin, otherwise he would not have made a decree to let the king of Jin ask himself again and again, but the eldest grandson Wuji is not sure that Li Shimin will definitely make Li Zhi the prince, without him, Li Zhi is too cowardly and incompetent, how can such a character enter the eyes of the incomparably wise Li Shimin, of course, if Li Zhi can really be put on the throne, the eldest grandson Wuji is very happy- This is not from the dragon's power but the power of the sky, a sky, an earth, the gap can not be calculated, and furthermore, it is precisely because of Li Zhi's incompetence that he is the favorite of the phase, and the left and right are just easy to control.

"Liang'er, now that you have entered the Chongwen Pavilion, you can be regarded as half of the officialdom, you should be cautious in your words and deeds, the affairs of the heavenly family are not the courtiers can interfere with, and you can figure out the holy will in vain, once you lose, it will definitely affect the family, you must not be careless, listen to the father's words, good students participate in the revision of the "Law Shu", do not have to pay attention to the court situation, and have his own ideas for his father." Although the eldest grandson Wuji saw farther than the eldest grandson Chengliang, he was not very confident, and some things were just speculation, even in the face of his beloved youngest son, he didn't dare to find out, so in desperation, he had to persuade patiently and politely.

The eldest grandson Chengliang has always been very assertive, at this time, in the face of his own Lao Tzu's warm persuasion, he didn't think much of it in his heart, and said with a stiff neck: "Father, now Li Zhen, the evil thief, is the first to stir up civil strife in the palace, and the court is behind the right and wrong, and the heart of the great position has been revealed, plus this thief steals a high position in the military department, and has authority in his hands, once the dog jumps off the wall, it is bound to cause a monstrous disaster. Father, if you are constantly interrupted, you will be in trouble, and you must not guard against it. ”

"That's enough, my father said that this matter is not something you can participate in, if you dare to do anything, don't blame your father for not being merciful, and don't retreat!" Seeing that the eldest grandson Chengliang did not listen to persuasion, the eldest grandson Wuji was irritable in his heart, his fat face shook, he slapped the table, and reprimanded him unceremoniously.

"The child is gone." The eldest grandson Chengliang saw that he couldn't persuade his father, so he didn't say much, bowed down, exited the study, and did not go back to his own courtyard, and walked out of the house gate with his head in anger, but he never thought that he had just walked out of the door, and suddenly heard a cordial greeting: "Sixth cousin, where are you in a hurry?" Hurriedly looked up, but it was Li Zhi, the king of Jin, who had arrived.

As soon as he saw that Li Zhi had arrived, the eldest grandson Chengliang couldn't help frowning - the eldest grandson Chengliang's vision has always been very high, and he doesn't look down on Li Zhi, the king of Jin, on weekdays, in his opinion, Li Zhiwen is not a martial artist, greedy and lustful is a good hand, it is really a waste, it is not worth socializing at all, if it is in the past, although the eldest grandson Chengliang looks down on Li Zhi, but the etiquette on the big face is still good, but at this time, the eldest grandson Chengliang is very upset, how can he have the heart to greet a waste more, and smiled reluctantly, He arched his hand and said: "I have seen Your Highness, my father is in the house, there is something else, I am one step ahead, Your Highness, please take care of yourself." As soon as the words fell, he didn't give Li Zhi a chance to speak, and strode away, leaving Li Zhi standing at the door, looking at the back of the eldest grandson Chengliang, gritting his teeth, and his face immediately turned red.

"Your Highness, please inside, the master is already waiting for you at the second gate." Just as Li Zhi was in the moment, Sun Ce, the head of the eldest grandson's mansion, hurriedly arrived, bowed down and said something with a flattering smile on his face.

"Oh." Li Zhi retracted his eyes, replied noncommittally, dragged his feet and walked into the gate of the Guogong Mansion with the housekeeper, not counting a few steps, just turned a wall, and saw the eldest grandson Wuji standing in front of the second gate with a smile on his face, waiting, hurriedly walking a few steps, rushing forward, and bowing his hand very respectfully: "The pheasant slave has seen my uncle." ”

Li Zhi's ability in talent and learning is weaker, but it is rare that this kid's mouth is very sweet, and the shelf is extremely low - the eldest grandson Wuji is an elder, but Li Zhi's position is there, even if he is called uncle, it is no problem, but it is different to call himself a pheasant slave and not call himself Xiao Wang or this king - Li Tai is the nephew of the eldest grandson Wuji like Li Zhi, but Li Tai saw the eldest grandson Wuji claiming to be the king, obviously not as good as Li Zhi can please people, no, as soon as the eldest grandson Wuji saw Li Zhi, The smile on his face was obviously a little more sincere from his heart, and he shook his hand and said, "Your Highness is polite, come, go, sit down in the house and say." ”

"Uncle first, please." Li Zhi waved his hand politely and respectfully, signaling the eldest grandson Wuji to invite first, and the respectful gesture made the eldest grandson Wuji even more satisfied, nodded with a smile, and didn't say anything more, half a step ahead of Li Zhi, welcomed Li Zhi into the hall of the second door, and after the guest and host sat down, the people could serve the new tea brewed, and the eldest grandson Wuji looked at Li Zhi who was respectfully sitting sideways on the chair, and asked seemingly casually: "Your Highness, what can you say about the saint?" ”

Li Zhi naturally understood what the eldest grandson Wuji said was asking whether Li Zhi came here on the orders of the emperor, and was stunned for a moment, then he shook his head lightly and said: "Uncle, my nephew has never entered the palace since he went down to the court, and my father has no other explanation. ”

There was chaos in the palace, this eldest grandson Wuji had already learned, not only his own ears and eyes in the palace sent back the news, but Li Tai also said when he came to visit, but the eldest grandson Wuji didn't care much about the chaos in the palace, and he didn't plan to meddle in the miscellaneous affairs of the harem.

"Uncle, you know, the starling has always been in charge of the fold of Wuju, but now the father has handed over this fold to the nephew, the nephew is worried about whether the starling will ...... him" Li Zhi stopped when he said this, and some of the sons looked at the eldest grandson Wuji pitifully, his eyes were full of expectation, and his little appearance was like a frightened little elk.

The martial arts excerpt that asked Li Zhi to come forward to support Li Zhen was indeed arranged by Li Shimin, and Li Zhi was informed through the mouth of the eldest grandson Wuji, but there was no detailed explanation, no other explanation, and he did not even say that he wanted to hand over the martial arts excerpt to Li Zhi, and those changes later were that the eldest grandson Wuji himself did not expect it, and he didn't think about it originally, at this time, when he heard Li Zhi talk about it, the eldest grandson Wuji's heart fluttered, and he seemed to understand something, and he forgot to reply for a while, and was stunned.

"Uncle, uncle." Seeing that the eldest grandson Wuji had not spoken for a long time, the worried look on Li Zhi's face immediately became thick, and he whispered twice, finally waking the eldest grandson Wuji back from his fugue state.

"Ah, oh, it's okay, hehe, it's okay, the old man is old, and he is always distracted by things, hehe, what His Highness asked before was ......" The eldest grandson Wuji asked casually with a slight embarrassed smile on his fat face.

Li Zhi had no choice but to repeat the question, this time the eldest grandson Wuji did not let Li Zhi wait for a long time, Li Zhi's voice just fell, the eldest grandson Wuji immediately smiled and said: "It's okay, although Your Highness can rest assured, His Royal Highness Yue Wang is a person who understands the general situation, and will not embarrass His Highness, His Royal Highness just rest assured to do it, this first article is to first sort out the relevant matters by the Ministry of Rites and send it to the Zhongshu Province, and transfer it to the Holy Authority for review. As for the trivial matters in the back, it will be handed over to Shangshu Province to manage, and it will be almost sorted out in the first half of the year, if His Royal Highness does not understand something, he can come to the old man at any time. ”

"Thank you uncle, nephew will start to do it, uncle, you are busy, nephew is leaving." Li Zhi is not a fool, what to do is actually not unknown, the purpose of this is to put it bluntly, it is actually the same as Li Tai, at this time, seeing that the eldest grandson Wuji promised to help, he was full of joy, and then looked at the eldest grandson Wuji with a trace of tiredness on his face, and he did not dare to delay any longer, and he got up and was about to leave.

The eldest grandson Wuji had been busy all day, and he was already a little tired, plus the shocking conclusion he had just reached had to be carefully scrutinized, and he didn't leave Li Zhi long, so he got up with a smile and said: "Okay, Your Highness can let it go, just take care of your body, remember not to overwork, come, send it to Your Highness." ”

"Uncle, you stay, and your nephew will go." As soon as the words fell, he saluted respectfully, retreated and went out, accompanied by the housekeeper of the eldest grandson's mansion, went out of the gate, and returned to the house without mentioning it.

Looking at Li Zhi's distant back, the eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but squint his eyes, with a thoughtful look on his face......
