Chapter 1283: The Emperor's Madness
Chapter 1283 The Emperor's Crazy Temptation
In Qin Lang's study.
Ambergris is curling up, and the refreshing fragrance permeates, but it doesn't feel too much but very elegant.
Qin Lang hugged Li Zhe, the seventh prince who was a little over half a year old, while the new emperor was holding Qin Lun, the 21st son of the Qin family. Instead, he teased the two little guys very happily, giggling and scratching with their little hands.
The two hugged the child, but they didn't speak in a hurry.
Qin Lang was speculating in his heart what the emperor was thinking at this time. He came to the door with such great fanfare today, and he brought several carts of gold, silver and treasures worth hundreds of thousands of guan. This is not a matter of money or not, but the first time the new emperor left Luoyang Palace and came to the courtier's house after succeeding to the throne.
It is said to visit relatives, but the big and small concubines of Qin should go back to the East Mansion if they want to visit their relatives. Although the father is gone, the mother is still there. How can the mother not come back, but come to the elder brother first.
It was clear that today he came here for Qin Lang.
And the imperial edict to seal the king really caught people off guard. For such a big matter, the emperor didn't even disclose the slightest word to the ministers in the Zhengshitang beforehand. This kind of behavior is completely different from the previous government affairs that were all discussed with the Zhengshitang and handed over to the two auxiliary political elders for resolution.
"Your Majesty, as the ceremonial envoy of the mountain mausoleum, I am going to send the late emperor's coffin to Zhaoling in Chang'an for burial after July 7."
The new emperor put a piece of pendant jade in Qin Eryilang's hands to play with. This is the second son born to the Qin family by Princess Taiping, and he still looks a bit like the new emperor. The child is also bold and strong, which is very attractive to Li Yin likes it.
He pondered, "But the imperial court cannot do without the Grand Master's assistant and presidency."
Qin Lang didn't understand when he heard this, it didn't mean to refuse at all, otherwise he didn't answer like this, he immediately tested the emperor's eagerness to take himself back to the second line.
Not even trying to hide it.
It seems that the gap between the new emperor and himself is not so easy to eliminate, and the relationship between the two will not be restored. The new emperor is very afraid of himself.
This month, the new emperor has shown him various favors and rewards, which are obviously respected and favored, but in fact he wants to push himself away step by step.
Since the new emperor doesn't want him to stay in the court, then Qin Lang doesn't need to make fun of himself, otherwise he will really annoy Li Yin, a bastard, and he can really do anything.
Li Shimin has been suppressing him all these years, and he has been restraining his temper, but now that the old emperor is dead, who in this world can suppress him?
"Eldest grandson has been in the court for a long time, and he has acted steadily. It is enough to have him in the court."
"Besides, the three provinces, six departments, nine temples, twelve guards, and other hundred divisions and yamen also have their own officials in charge and perform their duties."
Li Yin hypocritically persuaded him to stay, "The Grand Master is Gu Ming's first assistant. Let's pick two other prime ministers from the Zhengshitang."
"Let the minister go, this is the duty of the minister, and the minister and the saint are also the king, minister and son-in-law, and now I want to send this last journey."
"After the funeral is over, the grand master will return to the court and continue to preside over the government. I cannot do without the grand master, and the court cannot do without the grand master."
Qin Lang smiled.
"In this world, apart from saints, everyone can't do without. There is no second day, but the prime minister of the imperial court can be selected from among hundreds of officials. In fact, to be honest, my health has not been very good in recent years. In the early years, he went to the east and west, and left behind many old diseases, but now when the rainy weather comes, his whole body hurts, and sometimes he can't even walk."
Qin Lang was talking nonsense in a serious manner, but the new emperor knew it well but didn't break it.
So in this study, the two of them hugged a baby and chatted slowly there.
"After the funeral is over, I may spend a year in Chang'an. After the spring is warm and the flowers bloom, I will return to Luzon, Hainan. The warm weather there is also good for recuperating the body."
The emperor's gaze was like lightning, staring straight at Qin Lang.
Qin Lang responded with a smile without fear.
"If the grand master feels unwell, he can stay in Luoyang to recuperate. He can come to the capital hall once every three to five days to calm the state affairs, the imperial court and the military affairs. I can also send someone to the government to ask questions at any time."
Qin Lang shook his head.
The words have come to this point, who doesn't know that Li Yin is just being polite in words.
"I don't eat vegetarian food anymore, besides, I have gradually gotten used to the sunshine, beach and summer in Luzon over the years."
Li Yin held Qin Lun in his arms, "The grand master also knows that I have always had a bad relationship with the Su family, and that the Su family has not come out. Now Li Xiang, the king of Qin, who is adopted by him, was originally born by the Pei family. The Pei family is humble and guilty of crimes." To be given death, I have been thinking about one thing these days."
"In my current harem, the noble and most virtuous person is my younger sister Qin Shu. She has given birth to three sons for me in recent years. I want to make her a queen and her fourth son, King Wei Li Xian. For the prince."
After finishing speaking, the emperor fixed his eyes on Qin Lang, not letting go of any slight reaction on his face.
What disappointed the emperor was that Qin Lang was not a little excited when he heard such important news, and his reaction was too flat.
"Your Majesty, although Qin Shu is the same father and sister of the minister, and Li Xian is the nephew of the minister, but the minister is still the chief assistant prime minister of the Political Affairs Hall, and he still has to appeal to the emperor selflessly. This matter is definitely not feasible."
"The Su family is the first wife of a sage, and has no fault, how can he be deposed?"
Li Yin just said, "There is no one from the Su family."
"Saints, in the past dynasties, there are actually not many queens who have never emerged."
But Li Yin continued, "But I and the Su family have never been on good terms. You also know that this marriage was just imposed on me by the late emperor. Back then, I wanted to reconcile with the Su family. The teacher persuaded me to put the overall situation first. You also said at the beginning that after I succeed to the throne, I can do whatever I want."
"Your Majesty, the establishment of a queen is not only a matter of the emperor's family, but also a matter of the state."
"I make my sister emperor, isn't this a good thing for Yu Qing and the Qin family?"
"Because Qin Shu is involved, the minister must object. The minister's sister is only the crown prince Liangyuan. The crown princess is in the front. When will she be the queen?"
The emperor said again, "Li Xiang is not as intelligent as Li Xian, and I want to make Li Xian the crown prince."
"Your Majesty, the crown prince is the foundation of the country, and it is not feasible to abolish the elders and establish the younger ones."
But Li Yin said, "Establishing a son is not based on virtue, and establishing a son is not based on virtue. As long as I make Qin Shu the queen, then Li Xian will naturally be the most valuable."
He even mentioned the matter of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty.
When Emperor Guangwu was studying Taixue in Luoyang, seeing the majesty of the Jinwu Guard, he once said that an official should be a Jinwu, and a wife should be a Yin Lihua.
At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, although Liu Xiu’s family was a royal family, but because of the enfeoffment system, when Liu Xiu brothers arrived, the family was just a commoner.
The Yin Lihua family was a wealthy family in Xinye, Nanyang, where Liu Xiu's family was located at that time, occupying more than 700 hectares of land, and the servants of chariots and horses can be compared with the feudal princes and kings. For the young Liu Xiu, the greatest wish in this life is to be able to become the Zhijinwu, and then marry the number one Bai Fumei Yin Lihua in her hometown.
Then life is at its peak.
Later, the Liu brothers rose up and joined the uprising army against Wang Mang. Liu Xiu, who was enshrined in the rebel army, never forgot Yin Lihua, and married Yin Lihua, who was ten years younger than herself.
Later, when Liu Xiu was running Hebei, in order to get the support of Liu Yang, the king of Zhending who had 100,000 soldiers, he married Liu Yang's niece Guo Shengtong.
After Liu Xiu proclaimed himself emperor, he took over his sisters and his original wife Yin Lihua, but finally made Guo Shengtong the queen, and made Guo Shengtong's son Liu Qiang the prince.
Emperor Li Yin used Liu Xiu, Yin Lihua, and Guo Shengtong as an example, but Qin Lang didn't think it was a good example.
Because although Liu Xiu and Guo Shengtong once loved each other, it was a political marriage of red fruit. At the beginning, Liu Yang forced Liu Xiu, and Liu Xiu had no choice but to accept this political marriage, but Liu Yang was still murdered for rebellion. up.
Although Guo Shengtong was not implicated in his uncle's rebellion on the surface, he was eventually deposed by Liu Xiu for other reasons after 16 years in the throne, and even the prince born to Guo was also abolished.
Yin Lihua, the first wife, finally became the queen, and later her son Liu Zhuang succeeded to the throne as Emperor Ming of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Taking this as an example is too unlucky.
Emperor is implying what?
There have indeed been many incidents in the history of the prince's first wife not being the queen. There are really many. However, Qin Lang felt that it was not a good thing that this matter involved the Qin family.
The most important thing is that Qin Lang's status in the court is too high now, and Qin Shu's mother's uncle Cui Dunli is now Zuo Pushe. It can be said that he is a bit stronger than the brother and uncle of Empress Sun who were in the same court.
What's more, the head of the family, Empress Sun, was engaged to Li Shimin when she was young, and she married into the Li family for more than ten years.
Qin Shu is just the Crown Prince Liangdi, and the concubine has already reached her peak, unless the Crown Princess died early, but the reality is that she didn't, the Su Clan would not like the Crown Prince, after all, she was still a living person there.
There is no family, but they also took over Qin Wang Li Xiang and Qi Wang Li Jue.
Qin Lang resolutely opposed making Qin Shu the crown prince and Li Xian the crown prince. This was not just for the sake of reputation and to avoid suspicion, but also to avoid disaster.
A firm attitude.
He is not Cui Dunli, who is obsessed with interests, and he is not Qin Xun, who is nothing at all in Zuo Weiyi's mansion.
Qin Lang decided that this was not a pie at all, but a trap, a hole deliberately dug by the emperor. If Qin Lang couldn't help but jump into it, the whole family might be put into it.
Qin Lang has long seen the ruthless vigor of this little brat.
This made him make up his mind more and more, and he started writing the memorial in a while, and hurriedly escorted Li Shimin's coffin to Zhaoling in Chang'an for burial, and returned to Luzon after the new year.
This Central Plains cannot stay for a day, maybe one day it will be cheated by Li Yin.
At this moment, the Seventh Prince Li Zhe might be hungry, and started crying, Qin Lang hurriedly got up, "The Seventh Prince is hungry, I will leave."
Li Yin smiled, and got up with the baby in his arms, "Let me carry it to the noble concubine, and Qin Lun will give it back to you. This kid has a close relationship with me, and I like it. Let him be named Wei Guogong today."
"Your Majesty, absolutely not, how can you be honored without merit."
Li Yin laughed loudly, and walked out with his son in his arms, "The grand master's meritorious service is enough."
