Chapter 31: The Three Great Families
Qin Mushan sat at the table, his brows furrowed, and he picked up the pen and wrote the words. The incense burner next to the case was burning with soothing incense, but it did not play a soothing role. Walking in alone, Qin Mushan didn't raise his head and said, "Yunqi, let's see how this letter is." ”
The man approached quietly, stood behind Qin Mushan, and looked at it carefully. After a while, he spoke: "The flood in Muyi County has been eliminated, and Qin Hai and Qin Shilang have made great contributions...... Lord Qin, you are really subtle. ”
Only then did Qin Mushan notice that the people behind him were different. He turned around vigilantly and bumped into a pair of deep eyes, it was Xiao Heng.
Xiao Heng shouted, "Hello Lord Qin", but there was no respect in his tone. Qin Mushan also reacted, tugged at the corners of his mouth and said, "I don't know that His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince has arrived, and the ministers have missed the distance, and I hope His Royal Highness will forgive his sins." ”
Xiao Heng was too lazy to do these boring etiquette, and said: "My reputation is now spreading, and my wanted notice is posted at the gate of the city, doesn't Lord Qin want to promote his son, and now that he sees me, why don't you arrest me to the emperor?" There is also more than a history of squire turning into assassination. ”
Seeing this, Qin Mushan knew that Xiao Heng knew about what he had posted on both ends, gritted his teeth, and no longer pretended to be a snake: "The new dynasty doesn't mention the old things, and the new emperor ascends the throne, and he wants to go to it." As for His Royal Highness, I will treat it as if His Royal Highness has never come, and it can be regarded as fulfilling the friendship of the former queen. ”
Xiao Heng smiled sarcastically: "Do you really think that the emperor can continue to reuse the Qin family?" Not to mention reuse, it is still unknown whether the Qin family will survive or not. ”
Qin Mushan's face changed. He has been in the officialdom for so many years, and he also knows that the emperor wants to weaken the Qin family, but he still has a little luck. Xiao Heng saw it and said, "The head of the Qin family still has to think about it, the current emperor has a strange temperament, and the first queen has not lived, the Qin family?" Scold. ”
"The head of the Qin family won't even understand some small truths, right? Is it to watch the ancestral foundation flow into the East China Sea, or to make a Bo Bo and soar? ”
He had a smile on his face, and he didn't want to wait for an answer, he sat down on the Taishi chair leisurely, and looked at Qin Mushan with a smile.
Qin Mushan still refuted: "The emperor is fair in his dealings with people, and he will not cut my Qin family casually." What proof do you have? ”
Xiao Heng was silent. Just when Qin Mushan thought that he had nothing to say, he suddenly spoke: "The Qin family master should know it in his heart. "Otherwise, why did you take the risk and write such a letter directly, didn't you just want to take the opportunity to remind the emperor that the Qin family is gracious?
It's not that he doesn't know, he just doesn't believe it, he doesn't believe that the emperor is so ruthless.
Also, the Qin family has worked diligently all their lives, and they think of themselves as high, and they have never thought that there will be a day when they will fall into the dust.
This time it was Qin Mushan's turn to be silent, he lowered his head and didn't move for a while before he spoke: "Your Highness, what do you want my Qin family to help?" ”
Xiao Heng hooked the corners of his mouth: "When you can use your Qin family, I will tell you." ”
He picked up the copy on the desk and threw it aside: "Burn it." ”
Burn it, and those delusions.
In the future, the Qin family will be loyal to Xiao Heng.
Qin Mushan didn't say anything, and sent Xiao Heng to the door before asking, "Does the Fifth Highness want to live in the Qin Mansion?" ”
Xiao Heng shook his head: "If you live in your Qin family, if you can't do it, you will hand me over to the emperor with your backhand, and you won't be guilty of the crime of raiding the house." What you want to do in the future, I will let Yunhuai tell you, if it is a big matter, I will discuss it with you. Now you can help me keep an eye on the court, and let me know as soon as there is any change. ”
Qin Mushan should go down.
The Qin family is now a dying tree, and the leaves will scatter its branches but it is still struggling to support it, and it is the only use of the Qin family now to go to other official families through these branches. Xiao Heng went through the official families that he still remembered in his heart, and separated them one by one from those who could win over and those who held military power.
General Qi who is in charge of the Southeast Navy, Zhao Shicheng, the head of the Criminal Department, the Li family in Yangzhou, the Sun family in Zhengzhou, and the Mu family in the capital.
Originally, under the nose of the Son of Heaven, it was impossible to call the word Beijing, but these three major families were really powerful, and over time they were crowned with this title. The three major families, the Qi family, the Mu family, and the Guan family, are like pythons hovering at the feet of the real dragon, supporting most of the week.
The Qi family has always wanted to insert a foot in front of the Son of Heaven, and for so many years, when the Qi family has also made a lot of contributions, the three emperors have turned a blind eye and indulged them arrogantly. This time he bumped into his second brother, which can be regarded as hitting an iron plate and being cut hard, but fortunately, it is also a family of hundreds of years, and the century-old foundation is buried under the foundation, and it will not die for a while.
The Mu family is a Buddhist family, but in fact, only those who are in it know that the ruthlessness and complexity of the Mu family are complicated. However, the current head of the family, Mu Zongxin, is really a Buddhist, so he hasn't done anything too ruthless in the past few decades, holding part of the military power and having enough power, it is his best choice for Xiao Heng.
As for this Guan family, in fact, they can't enter these three major families, and the Qin family is a big cut better than the Guan family when it is not at its peak. Why this Guan family is on the list depends on its character. The Guan family has been a family for a hundred years, helping the founding emperor to fight the rebellion, guarding the Great Zhou for generations, and now the Guan Lao General is in the northwest of the town, and the eldest son of the Guan family guards the northeast, and the two sons are talented and serve the country, loyal and good for generations, and never have half a bad heart. Speaking of the Guan family, everyone is appreciative and grateful, and the emperor has to give three points of thin noodles for the peace of the frontier, and it is not surprising that he deserves to be the three major families.
The most suitable choice should be the Mu family, but this Mu family is not favored or decayed now, it is still difficult to say whether he can grit his teeth and gamble like Qin Mushan, I am afraid that it will be wasted.
Xiao Heng didn't flinch at all, but this kind of challenge is interesting.
Second brother, let's see who kills the deer.
