Chapter 44: Changsun Strategy

In the Duke of Qi’s Mansion, Changsun Zongheng was lying on the rattan chair in the study with a frown slightly.

A middle-aged man next to him, wearing a white squid and black horned belt, glared at Changsun Fuliang, who was kneeling in front of him, and said, "Rebellious, if you hurt the boy from the Pei family today, this matter would be a matter of being pushed into a fire pit!"

While scolding, he glanced slightly at the old man on the rattan chair.

Although I am already a Jiashan Bo and one of the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, I still have to be respectful in front of my father. The reason why the Changsun family can become the leader of the eight major families is the old man on the rattan chair who closed his eyes and rested.

Sun Zongheng, the chief minister of Qi, was a minister of the dragon and a veteran of the three dynasties. Although he has resigned from the position of Minister of Personnel and is at home with a free position, he has served as the chief officer of the exam many times, and his disciples are all over the Chu Dynasty!

In terms of talent alone, Changsun Zongheng is definitely not outstanding among counselors and generals, good ministers and virtuous ministers. However, judging from his relationship with Taizu, he was once the confidant of Taizu. Due to his special trust from Taizu, Changsun Zongheng not only played a special role at the beginning of the founding of the country, but also was entrusted to assist Emperor Wen and became a special figure in the political history of Chuchu. It was also with the favor of the emperors of the two dynasties that he gradually promoted the Changsun family to the head of the eight major families!

However, after Emperor Wen died of sudden illness, Emperor Wu began to gradually withdraw from politics ascended the throne. Because of this, Shangguan Hong became more powerful than this without this restriction.

There is a pair of words hanging on the study, with dragons flying and phoenix dancing.

"Smart and insightful, elegant and martial arts!"

This is the handwritten letter from Taizu, which was given to Changsun Zongheng.

...

..

"Ji'er, Fu Liang is young and has little conflict with others. He is just a young man's character and is competitive." The old man on the rattan chair slowly opened his eyes, his voice a little hoarse: "But Fu Liang, you are now the prince of my Changsun family. You must have a rule in your behavior. Today's affairs are fine. How can grandpa teach you since he was a child! He relies on his power and strategy to measure things. With his personal courage, you will only fight and make a fuss with the boy of the Hou family."

As he said that, he sat up and smiled and said, "If you want to eat meat, can you still have to kill it with your own hands!"

When Changsun Fuliang, who was kneeling on the ground, heard this, his whole body trembled and his eyes were full of fierceness: "Grandpa, grandson can save you!"

"Yeah, you go down first!"

Changsun Ji, who was slightly worried in his eyes, watched his son go out, and then he wondered: "Father, if you teach him like this, you may not be able to be kind to the Pei Mansion! Now my Changsun Mansion is keeping a low profile. Isn't it my father's strategy?"

"Pei Family! Even though Pei Shuye is extremely brave, he is just a martial arts! No matter how holy and honored he is, it is difficult to make up for the fact that he is from a poor family. Although he went to marry a Wang family, did the Wang family provide him with help? This court dispute has fallen to Shangguan Hong! He himself ended up in an inappropriate end. If he had not held heavy troops, there would be no discussion today!"

"Shangguan Hong acted too arrogantly, and the young emperor was in love with the mountains and valleys. He was afraid that he had forgotten the ancestor of the Hou (River Crab) Palace, so he was so easy to get along!" Changsun Zongheng, who seemed to be weak and sick, suddenly stood up, and the momentum he exuded made Changsun Ji feel a little tight.

You will never see through this father's behavior. The Changsun family was in full swing, but he retreated bravely. He pretended to be sick and resigned from a series of real powers such as the Minister of Personnel, and instead became a leisurely duke at home. This behavior seemed to have been discussed with the Ning family.

"The head of the eight major families, do you think such a name is so glorious! Little did you know that when the late emperor, I had already regarded my Changsun family as a rock in the water. That's why he valued Shangguan Hong and used martial arts to suppress literature! Otherwise, as a father, he would not even be able to reach the position of the Three Dukes?" Changsun Zongheng sneered and sat at the desk: "How could he see this situation today if the late emperor and the genius genius."

In addition to the constant border wars, the imperial court has also launched a large-scale suppression of the foreign sects. It is no wonder that although the literary style is prosperous, the martial style is still the ambition of many princes and princes!

My father was a minister of dragons throughout his life. However, he was burdened by the reputation of the head of the eight major families, which led to his resignation beyond the Three Dukes. Now, the Duke of Qi is all keeping his low profile, which makes some people feel that the Changsun family is difficult to maintain a reputation!

"Father, today I went to Liangyi Palace and saw Taifu Zhong!"

"As the Emperor's Master, what's so strange about you when you see it?"

Changsun Ji lowered his voice: "The little yellow gate outside told me that Taifu Zhong did not give a lecture to the emperor today. And he vaguely heard that Tai Shi Shangguan was mentioned inside!"

"Oh?" Changsun Zongheng's expression calmed down and he pondered for a long time: "You should act according to the opportunity! This world is the emperor's world after all. But - the Empress Dowager does not move, so don't follow him. Although Zhong Xiufu is the Grand Tutor, he is just a corrupt scholar after all!"

"The child understands, he dares not move easily!"

According to legend, when Zhong Xiufu went out with a relative, he met a fortune teller. The prime minister said, "This child has a noble prime minister, but he will suffer from water disasters. Be careful!" As a result, he had not walked a few miles. When he crossed the bridge, the horse was shocked and Xiufu fell into the water and died almost. So his relatives thought that the prime minister's words were correct, so he valued him very much. He paid him a fee to concentrate on studying! He was promoted to the head of the Ministry of Rites and was promoted to the Minister of Rites. After Emperor Wu ascended the throne, he was granted the title of Marquis of Neixiang, and together with Shangguan Hong and Hou Xianzhi, he was named the Three Dukes, and was famous all over the world.

However, the aristocratic families are quite prejudiced. Although Zhong Xiufu is a model for scholars all over the world, he is never valued by aristocratic families.

...

Regarding the situation in the court, Changsun Chong suddenly looked at him: "Today, the illegitimate son of the Pei family is probably going to be famous! Poetry over Dao Lin Gong, and his martial arts practice is better than a rebellious son... I heard that he is still a disciple of the Taixue School! Is the Taixue Palace going to be born again?"

The Qilin son of his family was compared by a poor illegitimate child, and Changsun Chong couldn't help feeling a little depressed.

"Don't care, don't ask! Just wait and see what's going on."

Changsun Zongheng's heart was also filled with mist. The birth of the Imperial Academy is afraid that the sect and court will cause chaos. This illegitimate son of the Pei family is really a disaster. For the sake of the present, I can only wait and see what the changes will happen!

—

It was dark outside, but the hall was filled with lights and lights. Pei Donglai and Pei Duoduo sat on both sides of the old lady. Many maids served this place, which was considered to be three generations of deskmates.

After a meal, it was considered harmonious. The two ladies were filial to the old lady, and the old lady loved the two younger generations.

However, Pei Donglai had some resistance in his heart, so he hurriedly finished eating and went back to Yunxuan.

...

"Young Master, the eldest lady is welcome."

Putting down the classics in his hand, Pei Donglai said 'oh'.
