Chapter 1281 Dangerous

  You understand my scheming, and I understand your reservedness.

  Qin Lang and Cheng Qian have been teachers and students for more than 20 years, and they have known each other for a long time. The reason why Qin Lang resigned at this time is that he is very clear about Cheng Qian's background.

  Instead of waiting until the emperor got impatient to make insinuations, why not propose it on his own initiative.

  However, he also grasped the sense of propriety. At this time, he could not resign nakedly, otherwise the emperor would not be able to agree, and on the contrary, it would give outsiders a sense that he deliberately forced the palace.

  At the palace banquet that day, the new emperor did not directly agree after all.

  Some things, even if you know it clearly, you still have to do superficial work.

  The palace banquet is over, and Qin Lang can finally go home. During this period of time, he has been staying in the palace, which is actually very boring.

  A few days ago, the wives, concubines and children have arrived in Luoyang, and they have not had time to meet.

  Starting today, the prime ministers no longer need to stay in Emiya Province. Everyone waved goodbye in front of the palace gate and went back to their respective homes.

  The left servant shot at Cui Dunli but got into Qin Lang's carriage, saying he would take a ride.

  For this cheap uncle, the relationship between the two is not that close, but they are relatives after all. Although the personal relationship these years is not good, the alliance of interests has been forged long ago.

  Cui Dunli is also very clear that it took him 20 years to go from the Zhongshu Sheren who stood in the wrong team to the Zuo Pushe today. In fact, it was all due to Qin Lang and his son, especially Qin Lang who helped him the most. Without Qin Lang, he might be just like Zheng Xuanli.

At that time, Zheng Xuanli was the concubine's elder brother, a minister of the sixth-rank sect, a noble official with no bright future, but later he was in the wrong team in the Xuanwu sect, and later he deeply offended Qin Lang, so all these years Zheng Xuanli's official career was bleak, and even the entire Zheng family in Xingyang fell into decline.

  If Zheng Shisanniang really entered the Qin family back then, Zheng Xuanli and the Zheng family would not be like this now. I am afraid that Zheng Xuanli will be the prime minister instead of becoming an official due to illness and living at home early.

   "What is the meaning of Saburo asking the saint to resign tonight?"

  Cui Dunli sat in the spacious four-wheeled carriage, still a bit puzzled. Like many officials, he thought Qin Lang's resignation tonight was a bit strange.

   It stands to reason that Qin Lang is only thirty-eight years old now. At this age, he has already become the prime minister of the empire, and he can even surpass the eldest grandson Wuji of the country's uncle. This is absolutely unprecedented.

  The position of chief assistant set by the special emperor's edict, the new emperor can't change it, Qin Lang should be happy and cherish it, why did he suddenly come to such a position now.

"It's not interesting. It was a transition before. Now that the sage has finally ascended the throne, some things should naturally return to the right track. The Zhongshu Province now has a Zhongshu order, and there are also two Zhongshu servants. There are no shortages, so there is no need for additional Get a book inspection order, let alone set up an additional Zhizhong book to save trouble."

  Cui Dunli obviously didn't believe Qin Lang's words.

  He turned to talk about another thing.

   "I heard some news that the saint is very dissatisfied with the Su family and does not intend to make the Su family his queen."

The Su family is the crown princess, and now the crown prince succeeds to the throne as the emperor, and the crown princess should be the queen. Of course, this is a normal situation. In fact, the crown princess may not always be the queen, just like the prince. Not all may become emperors in the end.

   But if there is an accident, it is a very rare special case.

  Under normal circumstances, after the emperor succeeds to the throne, he usually has to wait until after the Yuan Dynasty is formally changed to enshrine the empress and prince.

   "The sage intends to confer the title of imperial concubine on Liangdi and the title of Zhaoyi on Liangyuan." Cui Dunli told another piece of news.

  Qin Lang glanced at him.

  Cui Dunli was obviously very happy, because Qin Liangdi was his niece, and although Qin Liangyuan was not a descendant of his younger sister Cui's family, she wanted to call him uncle just like Qin Lang.

   "Sanlang, does the sage want to make Liang Di his queen?"

  Qin Lang frowned.

   This is not a good thing.

  Given the current status of the Qin family in the court, if the two younger sisters were named concubines or one concubine and one concubine, this would of course be icing on the cake, but if the younger sister Qin Shu was named, it would not be a good thing.

  Especially because the emperor still has a consort, Mrs. Su, there.

  Ordinary emperors would not be willing to have too strong descendants. Although Li Shimin’s elder brother, Sun Wuji, and uncle Gao Shilian were all in the court, Li Shimin belonged to the kind of emperor who created the world after all, and of course he could control it. Besides, when Li Shimin came to the throne of God, no matter whether it was the eldest grandson's family or the Gao family, although it was a famous and noble family, it did not have too much momentum and influence in the court.

  And what about Qin Lang today?

  The Qin family is the first in the military, Qin Lang is now the chief assistant of Gu Ming, and Cui Dunli is the Boling Cui family of five surnames and seven families. Both prestige and status are also very high.

  The new emperor has just succeeded to the throne, so how can he not be jealous of such a strong descendant?

  Cui Dunli didn't seem to think about it, his mind was full of another kind of 'opportunity' at this moment. '

   "I heard that the sage dotes on Lu Wang Li Xian very much, and he dotes on Lu Wang more than the eldest prince Qin Wang and the second prince Qi Wang. You said that the sage wanted to make Liang Di his queen, so wouldn't Lu Wang become the prince?"

  Qin Lang glanced at Cui Dunli coldly.

  The carriage was driving slowly on the street, surrounded by 120 guards outside. Although the sound insulation effect of the carriage was good, but Cui Dunli's words still made Qin Lang very worried.

  He said so, it means he thinks so.

If the new emperor is young or has no foundation in the past, the new emperor who has just succeeded may in order to gain the support of veterans and important officials and powerful factions, then canonize the Qin family with more background as the queen, and make the son of the Qin family the crown prince. It is normal operation.

However, Li Yin has been the crown prince for more than 20 years. Although there was a time of reserve crisis, Li Shimin cleared his hand to help him completely remove all obstacles to the succession before his death. Now Li Yin, the throne is very stable .

Under such circumstances, a fateful elder like Qin Lang actually hinders the newly succeeded emperor from taking power. Chengqian is eager to find a way to weaken Qin Lang, so why would he make Qin Lang's younger sister the queen and make Qin Lang the queen? Lang's nephew came for such a thing as the prince?

With Qin Lang's status, the prestige and financial resources of the Qin family, and the establishment of the Qin family as the queen and King Lu as the crown prince, then Chengqian will be emptied, and the Qin family will take advantage of the opportunity to become infinitely bigger, but any wiser emperor , it is impossible for this kind of thing to happen, especially when the emperor has just succeeded to the throne and is in urgent need of holding the imperial power in his hands.

  The imperial power and power are inherently contradictory, how can it be possible to cultivate a super perverted descendant and power minister at this time?

  Cui Dunli only wanted his niece to be the queen, which would be beneficial to the Cui family, and what he thought about was that his grandson would become the prince in the future, and the future of the Cui family would be even brighter.

  But I don’t want to think about it, this kind of colorful mushroom is absolutely deadly.

  Cui Dunli over there is even dreaming that the Qin sisters will have one queen and one concubine in the future, and even mentioned some historical allusions like this.

  For example, sisters Zhao Feiyan and Zhao Hede in the Western Han Dynasty, a queen and a Zhaoyi. The Yang sisters of Emperor Wu of the Western Jin Dynasty also became Empress Yang and Empress Yang,

  Sisters Feng Run and Feng Qing of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty also became queens successively. There are many such things.

  Even the Emperor Zhenguan of this dynasty had concubines Yang and Concubine Yang in the palace, as well as the Weiss sisters and so on. Concubine Wei's cousin was also named Zhaoyi. There are even at least four Yangs in the palace, one Concubine Yang, one Concubine Yang, and one Concubine Cao Yang, and so on.

   Facing this uncle who was a little too excited, Qin Lang had no choice but to warn him.

"Uncle, is it really wishful thinking? How do you know that this is not a deadly trap? Now, our Qin and Cui families may look like a raging fire to outsiders, but there are also undercurrents surging underneath, hidden dangers everywhere, and we step by step You can't make a mistake, otherwise..."

But Cui Dunli said, "It is said that one dynasty is the emperor and one courtier, but San Lang, you are the teacher of the new emperor, and you are related by in-laws. No matter in the eyes of the former emperor or the new emperor, you are more important than the eldest grandson and the new emperor." People who are close to you, not to mention your achievements are well known. The new emperor does not rely on you, who does he rely on? Saburo, when the sage is about to rely on you, you have to take up this burden instead of always thinking about it. Enjoy the blessings. Luzon is just an overseas territory, so why worry too much about it?"

   "You should pay more attention to government affairs. If you can help Concubine Liang become a queen and King Lu become a prince, then in the future, you will be able to support the elders of the three dynasties, and the Qin family will be more prosperous for a hundred years."

  Qin Lang couldn't listen to such words at all.

   Only see the benefits, but really don't see the dangers?

  Chengqian is also thirty years old, is he an ordinary incompetent emperor? This is a ruthless man who once sneaked to the frontier in person, was good at commanding the battlefield, fought tough battles and broke his leg because of it.

   Is it true that the emperor is so easy to fool and even control?

  Whoever dares to think this way is looking for his own death, and he will die miserably.

   "Uncle, extremes lead to opposites, so don't do things too wishfully."

Qin Shu is just the Crown Prince Liang Di, so it is only natural for her to be a noble concubine, but if it is said to be a concubine, I am afraid that some people in the court will object to this matter. If the emperor takes the opportunity to mess with Qin Lang, both the Qin family and the Cui family will probably be punished. Put it in together, and there will be no redemption.

  Qin Lang has reason to suspect that the new emperor is deliberately testing the Qin family and the Cui family. If Qin Lang can be sensible and not so greedy, and understand the boundaries of advancing and retreating, then there will be no peace for the time being. If it was like Cui Dunli, Li Yin would have to think about ways to suppress them first.

   Power cannot be shared, let alone imperial power.

  Establishing the crown prince first, this kind of thing is absolutely unacceptable.

   "When the late emperor was around, he liked the King of Qin very much. Although he didn't decide on the name of grandson, he already decided on the status of his eldest son." Qin Lang reminded Cui Dunli.

  But Cui Dunli replied, "Although the King of Qin was adopted by the Su Clan, if the Su Clan can't make him a queen, then the King of Qin is nothing more than a concubine, how can he be compared with a legitimate son?"

  Qin Lang still shook his head.

  Cui Dunli dissatisfied, "I remember more than 20 years ago, Saburo, you were only sixteen years old. You were so young and energetic at that time, and you worked hard to make decisions for the late emperor. Are you old now?"

"It's not that I'm getting old, it's that Uncle, after more than twenty years, you're still so confused. Back then you couldn't see the current situation clearly when you were a prince, and now you still can't see the current situation clearly. You only see what you want to see. Wishful thinking there, but don’t know it, has gone astray and is very dangerous.”

   "The appointment of the crown prince, this is a matter of the heavenly family, how can it be controlled by the ministers? Uncle, go back and think about it carefully. Don't get involved in these things indiscriminately, and don't bring disaster to the Cui family."
