"Zhao Renju in Dali Temple is very old and can't stand alone... It's also because there are many vacancies in the court that you have this god-given opportunity to take charge of Dali Temple. In two years, you will only have official qualifications. How can you be given such an important task?"
Did it fall on you?"
Although the eldest grandson, Shunde, was a little pretentious in front of his nephew, and it was inevitable to be tempted, he had a unique vision and the last sentence hit the mark solidly.
Changsun Wuji nodded in agreement, but he knew all this and did not need others to be his teacher. He thought a little irritably that his uncle always pretended to be profound every time he saw him.
The reason, Changsun Wuji naturally knows, is that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, but the waves in front are unwilling to give way to the waves behind. In addition, there are old grievances that have not been resolved, so he is always on guard against himself.
Changsun Wuji had a bright mind, so he always behaved stupidly in front of Changsun Shunde, and he was respectful and never expressed his dissatisfaction with Changsun.
It really corresponds to what I said later, life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills.
At this time, he smiled slightly and said: "It seems that my nephew would like to thank the two ministers Zheng and Li for making it possible."
The eldest grandson Shunde who was joking and disturbing also smiled. He stroked his beard and looked at his nephew with a softer look. He felt regretful countless times in his heart, but it was a pity that this was not his eldest grandson Shunde's son.
"You don't need to be grateful to those two, but you should pay more attention to the other person."
Again, Changsun Wuji pricked up his ears and listened helplessly.
"Dai Zhou, Dai Xuanyin, you should recognize it, right?"
Dai Zhou... How could Changsun Wuji not realize that he was a scholar from the Prince of Qin's palace who joined the army? His family background was a bit poor, but his talents left people speechless.
"How could I not recognize my former colleagues? Why did my uncle mention him? He seems to have been serving as Minister Zuocheng, right? To avoid suspicion, my nephew has not seen them for some time."
Changsun Shunde said: "Dai Zhou and others are all talented and have good reputations. You don't have to worry too much about interacting with them in the future. Three years have passed and the overall situation has been decided. There will be no recurrence.
For example, Xiao Shiwen is in charge of Zhongshu, Fang Qiao has joined Yuen Long's family, Dou Guang is in charge of Sinong Temple, Dou Gui brothers are guarding the capital, one is in charge of the post of minister of the Ministry of War, and Yu Shinan is the editor-in-chief. These people were either relatives of the time, or they were
All the old people in Tiance Mansion have to be reused, so why are you so stupid to still be afraid of others?"
Changsun Wuji listened attentively and nodded repeatedly, but thought in his heart, how can it be the same? My sister is the Princess of Qin, and Li Erlang and I are also close friends. We even scolded the emperor in person. If we associate with those people, we will be afraid of others and ourselves.
Very inappropriate.
In his opinion, Changsun Shunde's shortcoming lies in this. He is too utilitarian and spares no effort to unite his cronies. Although he cannot see anything now, it may become the source of disaster in the future.
Having too many cronies is bound to be taboo for the king at the top, but it may be affected by everyone at the bottom. He understood this truth at a young age. Back then, he kept a distance from everyone in the palace of Prince Qin, and today he will not deliberately associate with old people.
, Otherwise, how could the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple fall into his hands now?
The eldest grandson Shunde has become a man of old age, but he does not understand these things as much as his nephew. It can only be said that it is due to his temperament, and there is no other reason.
It's just that when Changsun Shunde mentioned Dai Zhou, Changsun Wuji was really a little confused.
After thinking about that person's appearance, he realized that he had not interacted with him for more than three years and was a little blurry. This was also due to Dai Zhou's lack of presence in Tiance Mansion.
After thinking for a while, he said hesitantly: "Dai Xuanyin is Li Gang's disciple?"
Sun Shunde, the eldest son, glanced at his nephew approvingly and said: "The way to be an official is to have a sharp ear and a clear eye. You must know all the clues in your mind. Otherwise, how can you succeed in succeeding others?"
So that you know, Dai Xuanyin has been transferred to the Ministry of Punishment. I heard that he was recommended by Wen Pushe himself. He is familiar with criminal law, strong and outspoken, and is a disciple of Li Gang. Where do you think he will serve next?"
Changsun Wuji finally frowned deeply, "Uncle, are you saying that this is the candidate for Dali Temple? Not necessarily? Dai Xuanyin's qualifications..."
Speaking of this, he remained silent. His qualifications were also very shallow and could not be compared to Dai Xuanyin. After all, Dai Xuanyin was a former Sui minister and had rich experience as an official.
In the former Sui Dynasty, he served in Menxia Province, and later in Luoyang Weijishizhong, and also served in Wang Shichong's Taiwei Mansion, and later left Hulao.
Although his official position has never been high, he cannot find fault with his official qualifications.
Changsun Shunde followed the lead and said, "Have you forgotten that before Dai Zhou was elected in the Sui Dynasty and Ming Dynasty, his official position has not been revealed, why do you need me to tell you?
Nowadays, the imperial examination is about to take place. It is only a matter of time before brothers like Fang Qiao, Dai Zhou, Sun Fujia, and Du Zhengzang will be put into important positions. The events of the Sui Dynasty have become a thing of the past, and no one will deliberately exclude them anymore."
Changsun Wuji was convinced this time and added, "It can also serve as an example to others, so why not do it?"
Sun Shunde, the eldest son, looked at his nephew with joy, raised his glass and said: "This is exactly the reason, so it is not surprising that Wen Dalin recommended Dai Zhou to the Supreme Being, first to serve in the Ministry of Punishment, and then to Dali Temple.
You are still relatively inexperienced, so it is reasonable for Wen Pu to stop you..."
Changsun Wuji raised his glass and drank. He understood clearly the implication of his uncle's words. Wen Yanbo was already the chief minister of the dynasty and had won the emperor's trust. He could not hold any grudges for this matter.
This clearly shows Changsun Shunde's fear of Wen Yanbo, otherwise he would not have given such a clear warning to him.
Changsun Wuji shook his head secretly. This was looking down on him, and his words were somewhat provocative. What was this uncle thinking about all day long?
With the founding of the Tang Dynasty and the annihilation of all the princes in the world, it was the time when Junjie took the lead to sort out the mess. It would not be too late to fight for power and gain and intrigue in a few more years.
I regret that when Tang Gongqiang came to an end, this uncle was the first to surrender. If he had any ambition, he would not do this. If this man only wanted power and position, he would be nothing more than a powerful minister, and he would only leave a stigma behind him.
With this thought in his mind, a look of reluctance appeared on his face. He picked up the wine cup and took a big sip, saying: "I see, my nephew knows, but the Supreme Lord has not summoned me so far, but I still remember that time outside the city.
Things?"
Changsun Shunde nodded, shook his head and said: "You don't have to think too much. It should be the Supreme Lord who approved you as the Young Minister of Dali Temple. You did a good job in Chang'an's appointment. Even if the Supreme Lord still cares about the old things,
I have no doubts about your talent..."
Changsun Wuji nodded, thinking that this was because you couldn't figure out what was going on. It seemed that it was a good thing for Dai Zhou or anyone else to serve in Dali Temple.
He is indeed incapable of taking charge of a place like Dali Temple. It would be much better if there were capable ministers in charge, and he would no longer have to worry about who recommended him.
It won't be too late for him to realize his ambitions after he has established his position in Dali Temple.
……………………
The official business of the uncle and nephew ends here. Many things are tacitly understood. This is the normal way for officials to get along with each other. They cannot talk everything in words, and they will not leave any room for commitments. Even most of the monarchs, ministers, fathers and sons do not
In this case, what is needed is a city.
The struggle for power, position and interests is looming, half in the open and half under the table. Smart people will naturally make choices, but it is useless no matter how clear the words of the stupid are.
Changsun Shunde also mentioned Wang Gui and others, who were also qualified candidates to succeed Li Gang as the minister of Dali Temple, and asked Changsun Wuji to pay more attention.
Official families have this convenience. The elders can teach by words and deeds. Children of nobles who grow up in this environment are very sensitive to politics, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
After half-drinking, Changsun Shunde was in a very happy mood. He believed that the Changsun family had taken another step forward. Under his leadership, they would definitely prosper in the future and would not be left behind by those great nobles in Kansai.
On the other hand, Changsun Wuji felt that what he gained was not of much use. While this uncle was complacent, he always felt that there was a dark energy lingering around him. He secretly felt worried that it was time to stay away from the Changsun family.
He had always admired his uncle Gao Shilian as a person, and he didn't know when his uncle would be able to calm down and start talking, and he would definitely not be so pretentious.
The eldest grandson Shunde didn't know that his nephew had such a low opinion of him in his heart. He was still thinking about his own affairs. When he was drunk, he casually asked: "How is my niece doing recently? I haven't seen her since you left the house.
Are you still reminiscing about old things when you come to visit me in Fuzhong?
I'm not telling you, as the elder brother, you should give me some advice. She can't just die alone when she's still young, right?"
Changsun Wuji was startled and couldn't help but cursed in his heart, did your calculations hit your niece?
But she didn't show anything on her face, she just said like a common gossip, "Uncle Lao is thinking about me. My nephew thanked her in advance. She is fine now. I had someone accompany her to a hotel outside the city a while ago."
Went to another hospital to relax.
She misses her hometown of Luoyang very much and wants to go back to see it. In fact, her nephew, brother and sister were all born in Chang'an, but they just stayed in Luoyang longer. How can it be considered her hometown?
My nephew thought that the weather would be warmer next year, so he asked someone to send her back to have a look... Alas, after this war, what will be left in Luoyang? I have given up on going back to take a look."
Changsun Shunde frowned and reprimanded: "She is ignorant, why do you follow her nonsense? How can she leave Chang'an lightly with her status? You have just entered Dali Temple, and if someone impeaches you for this, how should you tell the difference?"
In my opinion, there are two ways for her to choose. One is to pay a visit to Mrs. Chu's house. If she can ask for a long-term residence in Mrs. Chu's house, that would be the best, and it can also put the past events behind her.
You and her are in a perfect situation.
Otherwise, then..."
At this point, he paused, thought for a moment, and then continued: "There are still vacancies in the palace. Uncle Wei can take care of it. Simply send her to the palace to accompany her, which will also make the Supreme Lord feel at ease with the Changsun family."
