"Thank you, Brother Qingyang, for taking care of my brother in Lingnan. He expressed great respect and gratitude to you in his letter."
Under the tree-shaded corridor of Wude Hall, Uncle Changsun Guo, who was wearing a purple silk gown, said, "This man is still fat, and he still holds the false title of Kaifu Yitong Sansi without any actual duties.
It's not a good feeling to be kept on the cold bench by the emperor.
However, he was not really marginalized. The eldest son Guojiu was still a confidant of the emperor and his power remained undiminished. Especially after his uncle Gao Shilian returned to the court and became prime minister last year, many people felt that eldest grandson Guojiu would also soon
He returned to the prime minister, but he didn't expect that one and a half years later, the eldest grandson still had no actual job.
"Da Lang, the eldest grandson, has performed very well since he became the governor of Qinzhou. He is worthy of being the darling of your eldest grandson family. He comes from a noble family and does not have the air of a playboy. He has real talents and is also humble and willing to work. Qinzhou is also a remote place in Lingnan.
The situation was complicated, but he was able to clarify the situation in a short time and start work quickly.
Whether it was appeasing the Han chiefs, the local commanders, or the barbarians, they all did an outstanding job. They stationed garrison troops, recruited new government troops, cultivated military villages, immigrated to the border areas, and implemented two taxes.
Around this year, there was a big rebellion in Xizhu. I only gave him an order. Without soldiers or guns, Changsun Dalang was able to quickly mobilize and organize the Qinzhou native regiment, and quickly put down the rebellion in Shangsizhou next door, and captured the thieves and the king.
Use both suppression and appeasement to quickly put down the rebellion.
Such a great talent deserves to be reused by the imperial court."
After saying this, Changsun Wuji laughed and was very happy.
Changsun Chong is his eldest son, and was also chosen as his son-in-law by the emperor's brother-in-law. He is the eldest daughter of Emperor Shang. Last year, the emperor prepared a dowry for his eldest daughter Princess Changle County that was twice that of his younger sister Princess Yongjia. Wei Zheng and others also admonished him.
It was unpleasant.
It can be said that Changsun Chong was really born with the Golden Soup Key in his mouth, and every step was very well arranged.
Before he went to Lingnan, he was already a fourth-rank Shaoqing. Wu Huaiyu took the initiative to show his kindness and proposed to Changsun Wuji to arrange for his eldest son to rush to Lingnan for gold plating. At first, Changsun Wuji was still a little hesitant. After all, Lingnan was a ghost place, and his eldest son
But there can't be any mistakes.
Finally, I asked my sister, Empress Changsun, who supported her nephew to go to Lingnan to gain experience, and Wu Huaiyu was indeed good, and the one he arranged for him was actually the governor of Qinzhou.
Changsun Chong does have some abilities, but after all, the son of a noble family has never been a governor before. Although the Changsun family sent many aides and disciples to assist, Changsun Chong was able to perform so well in Lingnan, let alone Wu Huaiyu.
full support.
After all, Changsun Chong is now indeed plated with gold, and has won many praises from the local government and the court, but these are all due to Wu Huaiyu's face, and the full support of the Changsun family, and even the support of the emperor and empress.
This is a great favor,
"When is the eldest grandson Dalang planning to get married?" Huaiyu asked.
The princess's dowry is almost ready, and this matter will definitely not be delayed forever, although Princess Changle is actually not very old.
By calculation, Princess Changle should be only twelve years old this year.
"I will serve for another two years and the prince will serve his full term. When the time comes, he will be promoted and transferred back to the court, just in time to get married." Huaiyu said with a smile. In two years, the princess will not be more than fourteen years old.
Changsun Wuji stroked his beard and said, "I'm not in a hurry, but the queen said she wants to see the princess get married as soon as possible, and the wedding is scheduled for next year."
Huaiyu was surprised.
However, he thought that Queen Changsun seemed to have married Li Shimin at the age of thirteen, and Li Shimin was only sixteen at that time.
Nowadays, the imperial court encourages people to marry early and have children early. Generally, women marry at fifteen, and thirteen is a bit early. However, those famous families have their own way of doing things. If they marry at thirteen, they may not consummate the marriage immediately. If they marry early, there are actually more profound consequences.
In terms of level of meaning, after all, marriages from famous families are often political marriages.
Of course, it is also possible that the queen felt that her condition was too serious and she was afraid that she could not afford to wait, so she hoped to see her daughter get married.
Huaiyu thought of another thing. The queen had decided that Princess Changle would get married next year. The prince was the eldest brother of the eldest lord, so he shouldn't get married later than his sister.
Could it be that the emperor has already planned for the prince to get married this year or next year? But didn’t I hear before that it would be arranged three years later?
"It's so hot out here,"
Changsun Wuji was obese and could not tolerate heat. Even though he was under the shade of the tree, he still broke out in sweat.
"Your Majesty will go to Jiucheng Palace, will you go?" the uncle asked him.
Huaiyu shook his head. He came back from Lingnan and was used to the hot weather. Moreover, he maintained a good figure. He was young, but in his twenties. He had been exercising for a long time. He also liked to swim every day in Lingnan. He was not afraid of being in good health.
Hot, "I won't stay in Chang'an for too long. I mainly want to treat the Queen. This time I will go to Jiucheng Palace in Qizhou with her. But when the Queen's condition stabilizes, I will return to Lingnan."
"Do you really want to go back to Lingnan?"
"Well, there's such a big deal over there in Lingnan that I really can't leave."
Changsun Wuji smiled, but did not persuade. In fact, Wu Huaiyu also knew in his heart that although he and Changsun Wuji were relatives or allies, they were representatives of their respective hills and not from the same hilltop.
Now in the court, the big shots don't want Wu Huaiyu to return to the political hall and become prime minister, and they all intend to keep him in a local position. Even the emperor has shown his intention to keep him in a local position.
Of course Changsun Wuji also had this attitude,
Wu Huaiyu actually had no choice, so of course he had to offer some conditions in exchange.
His conditions were not excessive. He stayed in Lingnan and the warrior Xun entered the court. When he arrived in Chang'an, he found that the situation was not bad, so he made up his mind to promote the warrior Xun to become the prime minister.
Previously, Wu Huaiyu had helped Changsun Wuji with Gao Shilian's return to the court. Although it was an exchange of interests, now he had to return Wu Huaiyu's favor, or in other words, this was an exchange in itself.
"Have you really thought about it?"
"Well, I'm still young. I'm just a little worried about Dong Gong. I wish I could take more care of you if I'm around."
Changsun Wuji sighed, "It seems that my uncle has neglected his duty. I failed to do my duty to cause such a big mess this time."
"Actually, I can't worry about the prince, otherwise I would also ask for his release." Changsun Wuji's words were half-truth and half-lie. He was not willing to be released, but the emperor's brother-in-law had been teasing him for the past six years of Zhenguan.
Changsun Wuji was a little desperate.
He doesn't want to think about servants, ministers, servants, etc. At least, let him have a smooth relationship with Zhongshu's disciples or participate in political affairs.
But the emperor refused to give it.
Although the envoy's eldest son, Sun Wuji, was often summoned by the emperor to the palace to participate in court discussions, and could even accompany him from time to time to consult on military aircraft, but after all, his reputation was not justified.
And if you don't supervise a yamen, you're just an ordinary person after all.
Come on, he is not as free and easy as Wu Huaiyu after all.
He was actually quite happy about Wu Huaiyu's resignation as prime minister. I wonder if he would have a chance after Wu Huaiyu resigned.
He will support the warrior Yu to become prime minister, but he will not give up on himself to become prime minister again.
