Chapter 37: The Character of the Twilight
When the third prince heard that he was in Jiayintang, he knew that his sixth brother's heart for fame and fortune was still endless, and he couldn't really abandon the world, so he was more at ease, took the hand of the fifth prince, looked downstairs hand in hand, and said as he walked: "Among the few of us, the smartest is the eldest brother, in addition to the eldest brother, the sixth brother is outstanding." As long as the sixth brother is willing to go out to help us, why can't we overthrow the eldest brother and them again."
The two brothers talked as they walked, and they saw Wen Dui arguing with Lord Xu on the palace road from a distance.
Lao Wu hesitated: "Lord Wen is also here, why don't we go and say hello?" ”
The third child was quick to think about it, knowing that the fifth child meant to win over Wen Duan before the eldest prince, and the third child thought about it, thinking that although his faction had brought down Chaoyunguan and made Wen Duan steal the Danshu Iron Scroll in order to save the person he liked, if it weren't for his own faction, the woman Wen Du liked would always be in Chaoyunguan and retreat to clear his heart. This is what he did, but it has fulfilled Wen Dui, this matter, he has already organized a dinner, and he has talked with Wen Du many times, and Wen Du has also promised many times that he is not the right person, and he will never mention the matter of Chaoyunguan in the past, and he and the three princes have always maintained a harmonious attitude.
And Wen Du also said to himself that Wen Du wants to be a direct minister, and he will not engage in those dirty methods, so for the faction of the three princes, that is, if there is something to say, discuss it if it can be discussed, how many princes fight for each other, they can't hinder the peace of the people below, and they will be peaceful if they have nothing to do.
Moreover, after the fall of Chaoyunguan, the eldest prince said that he was degrading Xiangshangcheng, but in fact he was suspected by Emperor Duan and had lost all his grace.
All the affairs that the eldest prince once handled were handed over to the subordinates of the third prince and the fifth prince.
Shangrou City once became the world of the Three Princes and the Five Princes.
In order to marry the Xiao family, Wen Duan was equivalent to fighting against the three princes and the five princes with his own strength, and Emperor Duan's attitude determined Wen Dui's life and death, but Wen Duan's bet was right, although Duan Huang was suspicious of Chao Yunguan to help the eldest prince eradicate the seven princes, but Duan Huang was unwilling to sit back and watch the power of the three princes and the five princes grow stronger and stronger, and force the palace by seizing power, so Duan Huang gave Wen Duan absolute power.
Not only for Wen Dui's judgment and vision in the court, but also for Wen Dui's courage.
Therefore, Emperor Duan handed over the power of Wenchen to Wen Dui, even if among the Wenchen, there were subordinates of the three princes who quietly engaged in some dirty things, Wen Duan was also iron-faced and selfless, and directly retreated.
made the three princes lose face, but it also invisibly improved the authority of the Duan Emperor.
After realizing that Wen Du represented Emperor Duan's beating on him, the three princes and others kept showing favor to Wen Dui, hoping to join forces with Wen Du to dominate the world.
But Wen Du achieved absolute loyalty to Emperor Duan, however, in order to leave a way back for himself, Wen Duan also had a lot of dealings with the subordinates of the three princes, and even directly stated with the three princes and the five princes: He is the person of the Duan Emperor, and he will never be able to surrender to the three princes when he is under the hands of Duan Huang. But in any case, when he and the three princes and others are doing things, they will definitely not deliberately suppress them in order to curry favor with Emperor Duan. Therefore, when Wen Duan was the head of the Wenchen, the lives of the three princes, the five princes and their subordinates were relatively peaceful.
Wen Du did do the right thing and not the right person, and it would not be like when the former courtiers were fighting among themselves, whether it was good or evil, as long as it was not my faction, they would directly find a reason to abolish it.
Wen Du is like a person who has no selfishness, no selfishness, no joy and anger, he only cares about whether the court affairs are completed, whether they are completed well, and if they are completed well, he will promote and reward without reservation, and if they are not done well, he will blame mercilessly.
Whether it is his subordinate who completed the matter, or the subordinate of the third prince, or the subordinate left by the eldest prince, or the subordinate of the second prince who does not belong to any faction and struggles alone.
He only looked at how well the court affairs were completed, and did not ask the other party's origin, which prince was behind it. If it is two princes who fight among themselves and mess things up, Wen Du must hurry up, find out the prince who caused sabotage, and then impeach him without hesitation.
Under his integrity, there was very little infighting almost above the court, and the court was once peaceful.
This is also the reason why Wen Du is quiet, but he can make his subordinates respect him no matter which faction.
The third prince remembered Wen Duan's actions for many years, although he and he were not close friends, but they also had the feelings of colleagues accumulated for more than ten years. In the past ten years, although there have been negotiations between each other, they are essentially merciful, and Qiu has not committed any crimes.
Now that the eldest prince has returned to Shangrou City, he went up to greet him with a smile, but it seems that he has a plan, so the third prince pondered for a moment and said to the fifth prince: "Hurry up to say hello?" Aren't you afraid that people will laugh at you? You are a dignified son, he is a courtier, he has to greet you first, how can you rush to say hello? He greets you, and you greet you with a smile and a grin, but it is not decent.
The fifth prince nodded: "Yes." The eldest brother has just come back, and we have lost our former style, and it is really a shame to be in a hurry to tie up with others. ”
Wen Du and Lord Xu saw the five princes and the third prince from a distance, Wen Duan took the lead in kneeling down to the two princes to say goodbye, and Lord Xu saw that Wen Du knelt down to the two princes, so he had to kneel down and say goodbye.
When the third prince saw Wen Dui, he hurriedly smiled and asked Wen Duan to get up, "This palace remembers that today is the memorial ceremony of Wen Xu's biological mother, and Lord Wen will not go back to accompany him?" ”
Wen Du smiled and replied, "The minister is not in a hurry. When it is time to give the old lady a sacrifice, it is estimated that there will be an hour and a half left, and it will be too late to rush back. ”
When the fifth prince heard this, he felt more and more that his brothers were not in harmony, although Wen Xu was a concubine, but his biological mother's participation ceremony, even if Wen Duan could not accompany him, but at least he had to stay in the mansion, the palace held a sacrifice ceremony, and he, the eldest of the concubines, was in the palace and had a relationship with Lord Xu, who was not related to him.
The fifth prince smiled and said, "I heard that Wen Xu and Lord Wen Duan had a big fight back then. Even the children of the Wenfu who are rectifying with family style, elegant and humble, and friends and subordinates are inevitably disrespectful, not to mention the princes in our palace, the relationship between them is even more cruel. ”
The fifth prince said that he was about to post a big discussion about their incompatibility with the eldest prince, Wen Du knew what it meant, and was too lazy to listen, so he hurriedly said: "The princes are always the masters, no matter how disobedient our ministers are, they are also small family fights, how dare they compare with the relationship between the princes." The five princes are really elevating their ministers. ”
The third prince saw that Wen Dui's words were too lazy to mess with his own people, so he pulled the sleeve of the fifth prince and said to Wen Dui: "We still have to visit the sixth brother, if you have anything to say, we will talk about it next time." ”
