Chapter 1223 Troubled

PreviousBack to directoryNext
Changsun Shunde is a powerful person? A bit...

But Changsun Wuji, who has been an official for a long time, does not think so. A powerful person cannot cover everything.

There are too many people who want to see them, so how can they do it if you don't pick and choose? Only those who are worthy of seeing will be met, and those who are not worthy of seeing will not be ignored. Someone will run and serve them.

Changsun Shunde has already passed the stage of making friends and supporting each other as much as possible, and Changsun Wuji is also making great strides on this road.

It's just that as a relative, Changsun Shunde's ruthlessness is obvious. If Changsun Wuji is of no use, he will be abandoned like a pair of worn shoes.

The reason why I protected the brothers and sisters before was just because I didn't want to be caught by others, and also to prevent them from living outside and talking nonsense.

Changsun Shunde's character and Changsun Wuji were already very clear. If the emperor really wanted his life, the first person to sacrifice his family would not be anyone else.

Changsun... the young Changsun Wuji muttered in his heart, bringing out traces of hatred.

He has not forgotten the humiliation of a family of three being kicked out of the house that autumn. The face of the eldest grandson Anye is still as clear in his memory as yesterday.

Changsun Wuji's father, Changsun Sheng, was a famous former Sui Dynasty official and had five sons.

He gave birth to his wife Chi Qian, and gave birth to his eldest grandson Anye, and his eldest grandson Anshi's brother. A concubine also gave birth to two bastards.

Changsun Wuji's mother, Mrs. Gao, was Xuxian and gave birth to Changsun Wuji's brother and sister.

Similar to the warrior Yun, conflicts arose in the family. Once the eldest son Sun Sheng died, the eldest son Anye's brothers drove their stepmother and younger siblings out of the house.

The feud between wealthy families continues to this day.

The brothers Changsun Anye have now followed Wang Shiyun to Chang'an, and they are in trouble.

Especially Changsun Anshi, he was Wang Shichong's internal historian and had a lot of connections. After arriving in Chang'an, he stayed behind closed doors and the court no longer took care of him.

Not long ago, Liang Guo's internal history ordered Xiao Lang to be executed... Thinking of this, a sneer appeared at the corner of Changsun Wuji's mouth. Changsun Anshi was smarter than Xiao Lang, but the end may not be that good. Wait until he frees up his hands.

Then take good care of them.

As for Changsun Anye, that man is already dead. He has been immersed in wine and sex for a long time, and he should be dead soon. This makes Changsun Wuji feel extremely boring.

Changsun Wuji took a few sips of tea and looked up at his uncle. If Changsun Shunde hadn't been protecting him, the two beasts he could have killed during his tenure in Chang'an would have been worse than death.

……………………

The food and drinks came one after another. Sun Shunde, the eldest son, was the first to raise his glass and said with a smile: "It has been a few days since you have been appointed as the new Shaoqing of Dali Temple. My uncle hasn't given you a congratulations yet. Come, have a drink with me. I hope you will serve as the new Shaoqing of Dali Temple."

You can make a difference."

Changsun Wuji respectfully toasted to accompany him and said a few words of humility.

After finishing the cup and taking two bites of the food, Changsun Wuji looked suspicious and asked softly: "Uncle, my nephew is unclear about something. I hope my uncle can clarify his confusion."

Changsun Shunde nodded and said confidently: "I know what you want to ask even if you don't tell me. Who recommended you to serve in Dali Temple, right?"

Changsun Wuji nodded. He had no clue about this matter and it had been bothering him for many days.

There are usually traces of promotion in the officialdom. Most of them are earned by oneself, or they are promoted based on merit. This time he was relatively sudden. It was not until he was transferred from Shangshu Province to the Ministry of Personnel that Changsun Shunde learned about it and told Changsun Wuji.

.

If this kind of sudden promotion is not understood clearly, it will be a sleepless night for people in the officialdom.

"My nephew has only been appointed to the Chang'an Order for more than a year. He is the Young Minister of Dali Temple... My nephew has never thought that he could be promoted so quickly. He also wants to work in Zhongshu or Liubu after he leaves office. Even if he is promoted to a foreign company, it is reasonable.

But unexpectedly, it was Dali Temple. Please ask my uncle for advice, otherwise my nephew will have trouble sleeping and eating."

It's okay if you have trouble sleeping and eating, but it would be strange if you feel at ease.

The eldest grandson, Shunde, took a few bites of the food in his spare time, and then said slowly, "That's not what you should be worried about. It's been a while since you were transferred, and you've also been at Dali Temple for a few days."

, the Supreme Being has not yet asked you to come to see him, do you know why?"

Looking at his uncle who was trying to keep him secret all the way, Changsun Wuji could no longer complain, because what Changsun Shunde said was right, this was what he was afraid of.

The eldest grandson, Shunde, looked at his young and powerful nephew in silence, with a look of fear finally showing on his face. He raised his glass with satisfaction and invited him to have another drink.

"Zheng Shanguo resigned for some reasons, and Li Gang, the minister of Dali Temple, took up the post of Minister of Rites, and then Liu Jie, the imperial censor, was appointed as Minister of Rites. Both of them have good names and are upright people. It is self-evident that the court wants to rectify the Ministry of Rites..."

Changsun Wuji didn't think this was nonsense, and followed Changsun Shunde's words and said, "Yes, I'm afraid Du Zhili's life will be difficult."

Du Yan, Du Zhili, was born in the Du family in Jingzhao. He was one of the former Sui officials who ran back to Chang'an from Wang Shichong to seek refuge with Li Yuan, and was the uncle of Du Ruhui.

This man once served the King of Qin Li Shimin together with Changsun Wuji. He was one of the officials in the King of Qin's palace. He was very swinging between the prince and the King of Qin. He was demoted twice for crimes in a few years. He also had a different relationship with his nephew Du Ruhui.

Due to a small grudge, everyone else looked down upon him, including Changsun Wuji.

Now the Minister of Rites, Changsun Wuji also sneered at him, so he called him by his first name.

His sarcastic words made the eldest grandson Shunde laugh, and he scolded him casually: "You are now the young minister of Dali Temple, so you can't be so arrogant. Do you know that you should be more respectful when you see Du Shilang in the future?"

Changsun Wuji disagreed in his heart, but said respectfully, "What my uncle is blaming is that my nephew was rude."

Since losing his backer, he has little knowledge of the affairs in the DPRK, but there are still traces of some things to follow.

Du Yan and Feng Deyi had been at odds for a long time. When the King of Qin and the Crown Prince were fighting fiercely, Feng Deyi had secretly informed the King of Qin that Du Yan was having an affair with the Crown Prince and he should be more careful.

It goes without saying that Li Shimin did things well. After hearing this, he did not blame Du Yan, but instead transferred him to serve in the Tiance Mansion, trusting him even more.

Du Yan was very grateful to the King of Qin for this. Later, when someone came to lobby, he would not listen... Later, some rumors spread to Li Shimin's ears, and his subordinates all had doubts. Only Li Shimin did not believe that Du Yan would betray his trust and leave him.

And go.

As a result, Feng Deyi and Du Yan became enemies.

Nowadays, Deyi has been granted the title of servant, and Du Yan has served in the Ministry of Rites. They are far away from each other, so they can only put their grudges aside for the time being.

But all court officials are like this. They hold the idea that it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. If he finds an opportunity, he will definitely give it to the other party without hesitation.

And in this way, Du Yan is naturally the target of Changsun Shun's attraction, but I don't know how far they have gone...
