Now, Qin Chuan just wanted to determine the candidate for the Great Elder of the Sect from Liu Zhongping's mouth.

This matter must be settled before the vassal king enters the capital, and the entire clan must be supported.

Otherwise, if the vassal kings enter Beijing, will they recommend themselves and become the great elders first, you know, these princes are all brought into Beijing with soldiers.

At that time, it will be difficult to say whether the words of Qin Chuan, a prince, will work.

"Gong Liu, Lone knows your concerns, and you are worried that someone will criticize you. Now, there are only you and Lone two people here, out of the mouth of the public and into the ears of Sichuan, can you teach? ”

Liu Zhongping pondered: "Your Highness, this ...... It's really hard to say. ”

"Liu Gong, this is a lonely begging ......"

This?!

Liu Zhongping broke out in a cold sweat behind his back, and he immediately bowed: "How can Your Highness be like this, how can the minister be worthy." Ministers, ministers...... Since His Royal Highness was not ashamed to ask, the minister recommended one. ”

"Who?"

"Qin ...... Ask. ”

Qin Wen is Qin Buyi's son and his only son.

In terms of conduct and ethics, Qin Wen inherited his father, Qin Wen, who was in his forties, was familiar with the laws of Great Xia, and had only one seriously ill wife in the family, and he had never taken a concubine, so from this point of view, his virtue was not under Qin Buzhi.

Moreover, Qin Wen once participated in the revision of the punishment of Great Xia, and during the reign of the first emperor, he released a governor and served as the chief soldier of the river, which can be regarded as a person who is both civil and military.

Qin Chuan: "Qin Wen is Lone's cousin, what position does he have now?" ”

"Your Highness, Qin Wen is now at home, three years ago, after his wife fell ill, he resigned and stopped working. If His Highness wishes, the minister may go to see him. ”

"No, the position of the Great Elder is extraordinary, and I have to go in person. In fact, the focus is on how to make the people of the clan defend him and push him up as soon as possible. ”

The clan and the imperial power complement each other, and the vassal king must be famous if he wants to do it.

Qin Chuan: "Lone thought of a clever plan, so he borrowed Zhou Dewei's method and gave them a lot of money to get through the difficulties first." ”

"Your Highness, why did you get so much money?"

The bank had just begun to be rectified, and Liu Zhongping thought that the imperial court had no money now, and the household department could not come up with extra money to serve so many people in the clan.

How did he know that Qin Chuan had stolen Zhou Dewei's 80 million taels of family wealth.

Part of it was used for bank construction, and part of it was given to Yang Qianxue, and the rest of the money on hand was 60 million taels.

With such a large amount of wealth, it is difficult to spend it in a short period of time.

Qin Chuan said confidently: "Don't worry, the most important thing that Lone lacks now is money." ”

Following.

Qin Chuan came to visit and arrived at Qin Buyi's house.

Qin Buyi's mourning hall is located in the inner court of the sect, and his home is also overwhelmed with white sails.

According to the etiquette system, on the first day, the son should go to the clan to guard filial piety, and then he must be at home, guarding his father's coffin.

When entering the courtyard gate, Xiao Jin shouted: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived in ......"

And all the people of the house came out and knelt down to greet them.

Qin Buyi's wife died early, just a son and a daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law was sick in bed, so only Qin Wen knelt down to greet her.

"Your Majesty Qin asked, lead the house slaves in the house, and knock on His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Qin Chuan stepped forward and helped him up: "The festival mourns and changes, Gu has to keep filial piety for the first emperor for a while, and he can't keep filial piety to his uncle anymore, brother, don't blame Gu." ”

"Your Highness...... How dare you! Your Highness, please. ”

This was not the place to talk, and the two went to the backyard and into a closed house.

In this life, Qin Buji has amassed less than 30,000 taels of silver, and in the entire clan, he is considered a clear stream.

The old man has worked hard for half his life for the sake of the clan and the royal family, and he is not busy doing business on his own.

Qin Chuan put down the silver tickets he brought: "You take these silver tickets." ”

The first silver ticket on the top is 100,000 taels of silver!

The rest of the book doesn't need to be seen.

Qin Wen was frightened into a cold sweat: "Your Highness, what are you?" ”

"Lone knows that your family is poor, and there are so many people in the house, and when my uncle is alive, there is still a lot to eat, and now ...... The savings in the house are dwindling day by day, and soon you will have no money here. Your lady is still seriously ill and needs money, isn't she? ”

"That's not so much, Your Highness, my father taught his ministers before his death that you must never take money that is not clear. Even if the minister is short of money, he can't ask for it. Moreover, His Highness's road to the throne is full of difficulties, and now is the time for you to use your money. ”

Qin Chuan said happily: "It seems that you have also learned a lot about the affairs of the court in the mansion. What do you think is the biggest problem of loneliness at the moment? ”

"This ......"

"It doesn't matter, we are brothers of the same clan and clan, why bother to divide ourselves."

Qin Wen sighed deeply and poured tea for Qin Chuan: "Your Highness, before and after ascending the throne, the biggest obstacle is Zhou Dewei. This man is scheming and unpredictable, and it is harder to grasp him than to ascend to the sky. Your Highness has heard of some of the actions of His Highness in recent days, and you are trying to cut off his wings. ”

"Oh, that's right. But Lone came today, not to listen to you sit and discuss, the opportunity is that Lone came here to ask you if you would like to take over the position of Great Elder, that is, Ling Zun's position. ”

Great Elder!

Qin Wen's brain was hot, and he couldn't touch the north: "Your Highness is joking, right?" ”

"Lone came to your house from the palace, just to make a joke?"

"But...... The minister has not been involved in the affairs of the court and the clan for several years, and now in the clan, there are many uncles of the minister, and the minister is only a junior, and no one recommends him, how can he be able to occupy this important position? What's more, the inheritance of the great elder of the clan does not say that the father passed it on to the son, which is not in line with the ancestral etiquette. ”

In the ancestral rituals of the Great Xia Dynasty, it is not written that the father cannot pass on the matter to his son as a great elder.

It's just that no one has done this before.

Qin Chuan took a sip of tea: "Among the clan, the only person who is trusted by Gu is Ling Zun. Now that he is driving to the west, he can't find anyone to rely on, you are his only son, and your conduct and ethics are famous, you don't deserve to be the great elder, do you want to let others be? Once the vassal king entered the capital, the clan did not have a person at the helm, and the situation was difficult to control. ”

"Vassal King? What does Your Highness mean by this? How did the vassal king enter Beijing? ”

The news of Empress Liu Ning's death has been tightly sealed, so the 'chain reaction' that can be generated, Qin Wen can't guess it.

The fewer people who know about Liu Ning's death, the better.

Qin Chuan only said: "This is the news that the people sent out by Gu sent out to find out, so don't dig into it." ”
