Chapter 408: Sowing good causes yesterday, reaping good results today
Jixianfang.
Duke Bian's Mansion.
With a worried look on his eyebrows, Quan Xiancheng walked quickly to the inner house, bowed respectfully outside the door, and shouted into the house: "Father!"
A slightly hoarse voice came from inside: "Come in."
Quan Xiancheng bowed respectfully again, then walked into the house and looked at the man who sat up on the couch. His father was Mo Lizhi, the former Goryeo prince, and now the Duke of Bian of the Tang Dynasty, Quan Nanzi.
Seeing his father's old, sick and weak state, Quan Xiancheng showed a sad expression and hurriedly kowtowed: "It will be a death penalty for the child to disturb his father's rest!"
Mr. Quan snorted and said in a firm tone: "It's just an illness. There are many good doctors in the Tang Dynasty. Your father and I will not fall down so easily. Don't act like a child. Why are you here? Tell me.
!”
Quan Xiancheng suppressed his distracting thoughts and reported: "It's General Jin Renshou of Silla. He was taken away from the mansion by the internal guards during the banquet today. Also taken away was the British Duke Xu Jingye."
Boy Quan's face changed slightly: "Which of the inner guards is coming forward?"
Quan Xiancheng said sincerely: "It's Li Yuanfang."
Mr. Quan's expression became serious: "That's no wonder. What this Li Ge leader does are all big things. I'm afraid Jin Renwen's real intentions are evil, rather than slander and persecution... You are nervous and come here because you are afraid.
Is my family implicated?"
Quan Xiancheng is indeed worried: "Father, we have always had close contact with the Jin Mansion. Today there are five guests invited by it. The internal security investigation is no better than others. Once important matters of various countries are involved, they can report to us and other government officials."
The British man who started the attack was the grandson of General Li, and he was taken away. We have to guard against him!"
Mr. Quan said slowly: "As long as you have a clear conscience, you don't have to worry about the internal guards attacking you. The key is whether there is anyone in the house who is secretly communicating with the thieves?"
Quan Xiancheng's eyes flashed and he lowered his head subconsciously.
Mr. Quan looked at him with sharp eyes: "It seems that you also know that some people are restless. Why didn't you start early to eliminate the rebellion in the Tang Dynasty? Have you forgotten the cousin name given to you by your father?"
Of course Quan Xiancheng knew that the epithet "Xiancheng" used by him and his queen was very meaningful.
Well, it was actually a very straightforward expression of loyalty to the Tang Dynasty.
We, the Quan clan, sincerely dedicated Goryeo to the Tang Dynasty and announced the transformation of the king into Liaodong.
But precisely because of this, Quan Xiancheng felt rebellious in his heart. He was from the most prominent family in Goryeo, and his prestige was even greater than that of the royal family. Why should he show his loyalty to the Tang Dynasty that destroyed Goryeo?
Boy Quan could guess his son's reaction without looking at his face, and said calmly: "If nothing happens if Jin Ren asks, I won't tell you anything next, because you didn't need to know that originally, but now
It’s no longer possible to say no.”
"Do you think our clan is in this situation because of the Tang Dynasty? You are wrong, this is the root of the disaster that has been laid for a long time!"
"Your grandfather held five golden knives and killed the ministers and my king. This has indeed created the power of our clan, but it has also left endless consequences. I was touring various places, and your uncle suddenly launched an attack in the royal city. Do you think it was just his ambition?
"
"He is just a fool who was taken advantage of by the enemy. The people behind the instigation are the royal family who want to take revenge on our clan, and the ministers who regard us as a thorn in their side. Too many people want to see my Yuan family fight within themselves and die!"
"Your grandfather actually had some premonitions. In the last few years when he was seriously ill, he asked me to pay more attention to Tubo. He said that my family and the Gar family of Tubo are quite similar. We can learn from the Gar family.
Countermeasures...but we didn’t expect that something would happen to us faster than they did.”
"Fortunately, before he passed away, my father also left a plan. He told me that if my family was in danger of being destroyed, they would go south and surrender to the Tang Dynasty, and lead Tang soldiers to attack the royal family, and use the territory of Goryeo to ensure the survival of my family..."
Quan Xiancheng was dumbfounded: "But we are the people of Korea, how can we invite foreign enemies to invade our country?"
Mr. Quan sneered: "If we were really loyal to the king and served the country, all of our clan would have committed suicide long ago. You are the descendant of the regicide, why are you still sitting here alive? Because we were disloyal in the first place!"
"Since our clan is just for its own power, why should we care about those false reputations? If our clan is not in power, what does the survival of Goryeo have to do with us?"
Quan Xiancheng's mind was in confusion, and he saw his father's palm reaching over and pressing it on his head: "Xiancheng, those people's provocative words have ulterior motives. They themselves are obviously not loyal to Goryeo, but they deliberately provoke you.
The anger is just to replace it!"
Quan Xiancheng gritted his teeth and said, "But some of what they said is not wrong. People in the Tang Dynasty looked down on us. I was studying in the second hall and was discriminated against. I was called a Korean slave..."
Mr. Quan said calmly: "Then let me ask you, when you were studying in the second hall, were any of the Han students insulted?"
Quan Xiancheng was stunned, and under his father's gaze, he had to answer: "Yes."
Mr. Quan said: "It seems that you know it in your heart. You are just using the easiest way to find the reason."
"Do you think you are being insulted simply because you were born in Goryeo? Or is it because your family is not as powerful as theirs, your civil and military talents are not as good as theirs, and you do not have as many friends as they..."
"If you don't think about the latter ones, because they require your own efforts to change, but instead dwell on the former ones, you can logically attribute all your failures to your background."
Quan Xiancheng closed his mouth.
Mr. Quan said: "We are now Tang people. You speak better Tang dialect than I do. When it comes to your son and your grandson, it will get better and better. After a few generations, we will be completely integrated into the Tang Dynasty.
There is no distinction between them. Would it be possible for other Han students to fall into despair if they were called "farmer slaves"?"
"As for hostility, it is unavoidable. As long as you do not stand with the other party, the other party will find ways to find fault with you. The saint will bring hundreds of officials to Luoyang, just to prevent Guan Long's family from benefiting.
Saints have to do this, what else do you want?"
"Son, what you have to do is to learn and be taught, read and write, and make friends with students who are currently in power. When a group of people gather around our Quan family, you can find opportunities to silence those who insult you forever.
Instead of being brooding about one’s origins and even having some thoughts that shouldn’t be had!”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I am the Duke of the Tang Dynasty. This is why you can study in the Second Hall. In the future, you will also inherit this title. Without it, we will become
If you are a slave to the subjugation of your country, you are nothing."
Quan Xiancheng's face changed several times and he fell down: "Father, I understand!"
Mr. Quan sighed: "You won't fully understand it if you haven't experienced it personally. That's why I want to live and wait until you truly understand it before meeting your grandfather. Now tell me, how many clansmen do you know?"
Do you have any dealings with Jin Renwen?"
Quan Xiancheng said: "I'm not sure, but the third room is very close to General Jin...Jin Renwen. I once saw them having a private meeting!"
Mr. Quan sneered: "It's not surprising. After I came to the Tang Dynasty, although I was no longer as powerful as before, my enjoyment of life was even greater than that of Goryeo. They were not as good as everything else. Of course, they had to have evil intentions. They just united.
Silla, it’s really a disgrace to our clan!”
Hearing that this man was extremely disdainful of Silla, Quan Xiancheng asked for advice: "Father, now and then, Silla used to be weak, but now it is the last country in Liaodong. It seems that the Tang Dynasty can't help them. Why are you doing that?
Do you look down on Jin Renwen?"
Mr. Quan laughed: "Silla took advantage of the Tang Dynasty and indeed destroyed Goryeo and Baekje, but have you ever thought about why they were the weakest among the Three Kingdoms in the past?"
Quan Xiancheng shook his head.
Mr. Quan said: "It is precisely because the people above and below all respect the bones!"
"But the holy bones have been extinct. Jin Chunqiu and his son succeeded to the throne with the blood of the real bones. There are doubts among the nobles. In addition, they took advantage of the power of the Tang Dynasty, but now they see the power of the imperial power.
Temptation, active promotion of royal dictatorship, suppression and deprivation of the power of the nobility."
"Look, the imperial power of the Tang Dynasty is not something every small country can learn from. Especially Silla, which is numb and unwilling to adapt. If Jin Chunqiu and Jin Famin act like this, they will inevitably encounter the fiercest resistance and domestic turmoil.
, even more beautiful than Goryeo!"
If Li Yan were to listen in, he would also appreciate his vision. Sure enough, they are both descendants of Miao from the Three Koreas, so they understand each other.
Historically, when the Kim family was in power, they used the power of the Tang Dynasty to destroy Baekje and Goryeo, and unified the Liaodong Peninsula. Therefore, they had a high prestige. When they were alive, they could naturally control the royal power and suppress the power of the nobles. When Kim Fa-min died, the nobles
The class immediately began to resist, and even directly broke out in rebellion.
This country was also very lucky. It happened to be during the Wu-Zhou period in the Tang Dynasty. Dealing with Tubo and Post-Turkic countries was a headache. Even the Khitan tribe dared to resist. Obviously, they did not have the energy to take care of Silla. Without external pressure,
After that, the civil unrest gradually subsided, and it returned to the old way of the nobles restraining the royal power.
If it was the early Gojong Dynasty and Silla was in such trouble, it would definitely have followed the footsteps of Goryeo and Baekje and been completely wiped out.
Mr. Quan didn't know the history, but he was sincerely envious: "In comparison, the beauty of the Tang Dynasty system is that even ordinary people can get official positions, and even those with brown hair can find a way to get a job. What's more, the imperial examination system has obscured their reputation.
Just to further achieve fairness, in the future, as long as your descendants are talented, they can all be able to join the officialdom fairly, how wonderful this is!"
Quan Xiancheng nodded unconsciously: "The name-blinding system in the imperial examination is good for us. Alas, I should have stopped Sanfang a long time ago. Now that their incident has happened, will it implicate us?"
"Perhaps you don't know yet. We just received a greeting from Duke Zhou's palace and will be visiting the palace. The internal guards are already targeting us."
Mr. Izumi's words made his son change his temper, and he asked another seemingly unrelated question: "I asked you to get acquainted with Yugoro of the Yu family. How did you do?"
Quan Xiancheng was puzzled, but hurriedly said: "I followed my father's instructions and had close contact with him, and I still get some dividends from his slave meeting place."
Mr. Quan became nervous for the first time: "I didn't ask before because I was afraid that you would show clues and be noticed by the other party. After your observation during this period, after the Gong family incident, did the family property really come back to Bianzhou?"
Quan Xiancheng said: "I really brought them back. I also went to Bianzhou to see them. They have become a prominent family in that place again. Most of their assets in Luoyang were sold to the Xie Chamber of Commerce in Jiangnan, and a small number were unable to do so."
Those that were sold in time were used by Yugoro to open a slave meeting place, and the family's vitality was preserved."
Quan Nanzhang breathed a sigh of relief: "The saint is benevolent and the inner guards don't rush to kill them all. It's a blessing for us!"
Quan Xiancheng came to his senses and said, "My father's purpose is to let me use the Gong family as a lesson to guide my clan's path?"
Mr. Izumi said: "Of course, I don't believe what is being said in the market. That Gonggoro might just be a puppet pushed out by the inner guards. If the Gong clan is implicated in annihilating the clan, and the situation within the clan becomes serious, he might really be forced to fight to the death.
situation……"
"Fortunately, the saints and inner guards have the guts of Rong Gong, so they can make up their mind to sort out the thieves in the clan. This will also help you to take charge of the family in the future. There are too many clan members of the Quan clan now. Kill more, there is no need
Bad."
When Quan Xiancheng heard this man's indifference when he talked about killing his family, he couldn't help but hold his breath and his hands and feet became cold: "Yes..."
Mr. Quan glanced at him and said calmly: "Our clan broke out from the killings. Only if you pass this test can you be the future head of my Quan family! If you are not willing to do this, someone will be willing!"
"
Quan Xiancheng's face changed: "My child will not be confused if he is willing!"
Mr. Quan then lay down again and waved his hand: "Go to the inner guard to look for Li Yuanfang. Yugoro is following him. I'm not worried about the other leaders, so go ahead!"
