Chapter 55: Lonely to support
"In a word, the position of the Great Elder can only be you, for Ling Zun's sake, you also have to take over this errand, just treat it as helping the orphan."
A word for help, so that the subordinates are speechless.
To be a great elder, a high and powerful position, a man of his word, and even unite all the clan relatives and abolish the emperor of the dynasty.
In such a position, everything you say and do needs to be cautious, and if you do one thing wrong or say the wrong thing, it is not trivial.
"Your Highness's words made the ministers panic."
Qin Chuan: "You don't have any worries, as this great elder, you can ignore what is going on outside the window, you don't need to say anything, you don't need to do anything." As long as you take this errand, Lone will be relieved. ”
Don't say anything, don't do anything, in fact, this is already the task given to him by Qin Chuan.
As long as there is such an obedient person sitting in that position, not being tempted by anyone's words, and not helping people rebel, even if he has helped Qin Chuan a lot.
After thinking about it, Qin asked: "Your Highness, the ministers are soft-spoken, but I am afraid that the people of the clan will not accept the ministers. ”
"So, Lone brought a silver ticket, in the clan, no one is not greedy, this Lone has known for a long time. One man gives a hundred thousand taels of silver, and in your name they must listen to you. ”
"This ...... Isn't that right? ”
"These are extraordinary times, and no means are too much. Choose a day or not to hit the day, just today, you go to the sect immediately, take over as the Great Elder, and let Gu help you as the queen of the palace. The two of us, are you still afraid that you won't be able to deter those old guys? ”
……
Evening.
In the inner court of the sect, a group of clan relatives sat inside, facing Qin Buyi's spiritual seat, discussing the candidate for the next Great Elder.
They waited for the filial piety of Gao Liuyue to leave, and then they discussed.
It is impossible to have a woman present at such an important meeting.
"Let's talk about it, who is the right person to take over as this Great Elder?"
Someone mentioned it first, but no one dared to answer.
Now is the period of right and wrong, before the imperial power is settled, the position of the great elder may be co-opted by Qin Chuan and Zhou Dewei back and forth, and he is in a dilemma and thankless.
It doesn't matter who is in charge, everyone will be roasted on the fire, or be an ordinary clansman, the wind can't blow, the rain can't be drenched, and he is happy and free. They all watched each other, and the fool took the errand.
But...... Whoever wants to take it, it's not so easy, you have to give everyone some benefits, otherwise why should I praise you.
"Why, everyone is so modest, is no one willing?"
Another person said: "The great elders of the clan have always been people with both talent and virtue, and they are passed down by the previous great elders. Qin Buzhi was brutally killed, Qin Shang and Qin Hui were trapped in the Zongren Mansion again, and we are now no one in charge. ”
"In my opinion, this matter should be decided after the new emperor ascends the throne."
"That's not possible, the first great elder of my dynasty was appointed by Emperor Taizu, and his old man said that all the great elders in the future cannot be decided by the emperor, just because they are worried that they will encounter a faint monarch who has no way to contain it. What's more, the dispute between Qin Chuan and Qin Yue is already on the same footing, in case they have a bigger fight, someone in our clan has to stand up and stop it. ”
At the door of the hall, Qin Chuan and Qin Wen had already arrived.
No one reported it, Qin Chuan didn't let people report it, he wanted to hear what these guys were talking about.
Someone spotted two figures in the doorway.
"Qin Chuan...... The prince and Qin asked that person...... Did Qin ask? ”
"Oh, they are all wearing filial piety clothes, it's Qin Wen, I know him."
Qin Chuan, with the sword of the Son of Heaven, strode in from outside the door, and when he arrived at the spiritual seat, he first gave Qin Bu a stick of incense, and then turned around: "Fellow clansmen, it's time to see the ceremony." ”
The people kneeling down didn't understand what Qin Chuan meant.
He came over with the sword of the Son of Heaven, did he want to kill anyone, with this sword of Emperor Taizu, no one dared to be presumptuous.
"Are you deliberating on the selection of the Great Elder?"
"Very good, Lone has already chosen a capable person for you who can lead the clan, and that is him."
The crowd looked towards the door.
Qin asked?
Isn't this Qin Buyi's son, he hasn't asked about the clan for a few years, and he wants to be a great elder as soon as he comes, so it's so cheap?
An old guy said: "Your Highness, the clan is not under the jurisdiction of the emperor, not to mention that you have not yet ascended the throne, you cannot control the affairs within the clan, and the position of the great elder should be selected by the clan." ”
"Is this your rule?"
"I ......"
Qin Chuan glanced at the middle-aged person and sat down directly: "The laws of this dynasty, Gu knows a little bit, in the rules of the clan, there is no such thing as everyone picking out the great elder together, and Emperor Taizu has never set such rules." How? Do you have your own rules? ”
Another younger clan relative replied: "Your Highness, Emperor Taizu once said that the ruler of the clan cannot be determined by the emperor, so you have no right to interfere in this matter. ”
"Bastard! - Then Emperor Taizu also said that things are in a hurry, why can't you remember? Just remember half the words? Today, I mourn the former Great Elder, and at the same time appoint a new Great Elder. ”
The implication is that the clan and the imperial power are all in one, whether such rights are too heavy.
If Qin Chuan ascends the throne as emperor, there will be no one in the world who can use family law to contain him.
When gains and losses appear, there will be rebellions and rebellions.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, let's say that you have not ascended the throne now, even if you do, you have no right to intervene in the affairs of the clan."
The laws of Great Xia are the same as those of the pre-Qin period, and the elders of the clan can directly depose the emperor.
This system is indeed very collapsed, so whatever the emperor does, he has to go through the permission of the clan?
How can the imperial power still be concentrated.
It is certainly no problem to meet a reasonable great elder, but if he encounters a fool and is taken advantage of, won't the emperor become a puppet!
Qin Wen walked over here: "Everyone, among you, there are my brothers and uncles, since you all think that I am not qualified for this position, please ask you to choose the candidate for the Great Elder now, who is willing?" ”
Good fellow, the snake hits seven inches!
is worthy of being Qin Buyi's son, and has the demeanor of his old man.
This time, Qin Chuan just needs to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and steal the fun, and Qin Wen can do it himself.
He asked this sharply enough, and he didn't want him to be it, so he stood up and did it himself.
Whoever is in charge is in a dilemma.
Qin Chuan: "You all heard his words, it was Qin Wen who recommended Lone, and if you objected, you said your own personal choice, if you can't give a candidate, Lone will decide him now." ”
After being silent for a long time, a person said, "To be a great elder, you have to be capable. ”
