Chapter 1464: Chang'an Emperor VS Luzon Taishi
Chapter 1464 Chang'an Emperor VS Luzon Taishi
Qin Jun walked in wearing a long sword.
"Father, the envoys from Luoyang have sent the emperor's edict to you."
Qin Lang looked up from a pile of notes, and saw that the eyes of the eldest son who was already sixty-eight years old were a little red, his back was still so straight, and his beard was always trimmed, so he looked majestic.
This blood lion of the Qin family is old. The golden lion of the Qin family suddenly thought that the eldest son was actually older than himself.
"It's been hard work for you during this time, and you should also pay attention to rest. After all, we are both in their seventies and eighties."
"I hope that I can do a good job of enfeoffment for my father. This is a matter of our Qin family for generations to come."
Qin Lang just chuckled, "There is no such thing as eternal generations, even the five surnames and seven clans dare not say that. Most of the five surnames and seven families can only be traced back to the end of Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, which is only four to five hundred years old. It took a few years, and it began to recover. When our Qin family compiled the ancestral tree and family biography, it can be traced back to the three generations of ancient times, but what is the significance of that."
"Even if you plan for the next three to five hundred years, that's not bad." Qin Jun said.
"Have you met the messenger?" Qin Lang asked.
Qin Lang wanted to re-adjust the enfeoffment system in Luzon. Although Luzon is now an autonomous foreign territory, such major events naturally had to be done without the emperor's approval, especially when it involved the same status as Luzon. The three kingdoms of Dongsheng, Nanfang and Xinpenglai.
Qin Jun looked at his father, he was eighty-five soon, but he looked younger than himself, always so energetic, he didn't take pills and didn't believe in magicians, but his body was always so strong, and he was rarely seen sick , this may be related to his father's emphasis on the combination of work and rest, and to keeping exercising all year round.
In particular, he can control desires and know how to restrain himself. Whether it is diet or lust, he can control them.
Moreover, my father seems to be able to maintain an optimistic attitude no matter what time he is, especially in his later years.
"It is Gao Yanshou and Yang Zhenliang who came to proclaim the decree. Gao Yanshou is the adopted son of Xuanhui envoy Gao Fu, and Yang Zhenliang is the adopted son of Gao Yanshou. Now he also holds an important position in the palace. Zipaoyu brought them."
Qin Lang smiled, "Gao Fu's dog slave is still alive, but Yang Sixuan's dog slave has been very powerful in recent years."
"Those are just the emperor's two dogs, and without the support of their father, they would not be where they are today."
Gao Fu was arranged by Qin Lang to enter the palace back then. He made his fortune by assisting Qin Jun to support Gaozong. At the critical moment, he betrayed him and raised Gao Fu. Afterwards, he was appreciated by the Queen of Heaven and held power in the palace for more than 30 years. Now he is in a semi-retired state, but a bunch of his adopted sons have also occupied high positions in the inner court.
As for Yang Sixuan, the most powerful **** in the palace today, it was because of the appreciation of the Queen Mother Qin that he had the opportunity to lead the army in the palace. When he went to Lingnan to quell the chaos in the first battle, he also rushed to Lu Song to meet Qin Lang first. Then he asked for a few letters from Qin Lang, and with them, he met with several high-ranking officials and generals in Lingnan, especially contacting Feng and Xian, the local tyrants. Put down the rebellion and make meritorious deeds.
Afterwards, Yang Sixu went out several times to seek rebellion against the rebels. Basically, he had to pay homage to the Qin family first, followed the path of the Qin family, and borrowed from the Qin family's alumni and even their children's local relationships, in order to successfully quell the rebellion again and again.
Even though Yang Sixuan, like Gao Fu, is now a duke of the state and worshiped as a second-rank general, but in front of the Qin family, these two people are still extremely respectful.
Without it, in the palace they have to rely on several Queen Mothers of Qin, and outside the palace, they have to rely on the power of the Qin family, otherwise their position as eunuchs will not be stable.
How many people in the government and the opposition do not like the eunuchs. Without the powerful Qin family as an alliance, it would have been unstable for a long time.
The two sent their adoptive sons to Luzon, which is enough to show that they still respect Qin Taishi very much.
"What did you say?"
"The Son of Heaven never refuses to do what his father asks."
Lu Song is an outer kingdom, so are Dongsheng, Nanshan, and Xinpenglai. Even these three kingdoms were originally entrusted by Qin Lang to the emperor for his second son and grandson. Now they want to change it, but the emperor is not impatient at all. , how you want to change, as the grand master wishes, all are allowed.
"The emperor agreed a little too happily." Qin Lang said.
Qin Jun said calmly, "I heard that the new emperor is smarter than Zhongzong, and he seems to want to make a difference."
"hehe."
Qin Lang just smiled, "Who doesn't want to? Emperor Zhongzong wanted to do something back then, but why was he addicted to wine and **** in the end? It's not that he didn't want to do it, but he couldn't do it. It has been nearly 70 years, and various forces are intertwined and extremely complicated. It is not easy for the emperor to do what he wants to do? Zhongzong has been in power for more than 30 years, and he has not really controlled the court for 18 years after taking office. Now the young emperor talks about this It's too early."
"However, I have seen the performance of the emperor since he succeeded to the throne, but he is still very organized and even a mansion."
Qin Lang waved his hand, "A smart emperor treats everyone well, that means he knows how to advance and retreat, and compromises. I'm afraid that if he meets that kind of incompetent but conceited emperor, if he insists on twisting his nerve to the end, in the end, everyone will die." happy."
Zhongzong Li Ye was very smart before. After he tried everything, he found that he was unable to change the court, so in the end he stopped tossing, compromised, and went back to the harem to enjoy himself. He died at a young age.
Qin Lang doesn't think that the young emperor Li Hao can be better than his father. He is still young and he still has time to struggle. Fate, can break the curse of the Li family's emperor's short life, maybe he can do something in the future, but Qin Lang definitely can't see that situation anymore.
Now that the emperor has granted his request, let's continue to finish this matter.
"They want to come to see Grandpa, see you?"
"Since we have come all the way, we must see each other. We in Luzon also respect etiquette." Qin Lang said with a smile.
·······
Clear the way with the whip.
Drums and music blared, "The king is coming!"
In the Knights' Academy, all the elders of the Qin family stood up to greet him.
Qin Lang specially put on silk armor today. This is an improved military uniform from Luzon. It is light and breathable but colorful, and the simple tailoring reveals the majesty of a general.
The shoulders of the silk armor are also fixed with general stars, six gold stars, which is Datang's unique Tiance general rank.
Lang will have one star, Zhonglang will have two stars, the generals of the northern and southern government guards will have three stars, the great general will have four stars, and the top general will have five stars.
There are also six golden general stars on the collar of the silk armor.
Qin Lang had many medals pinned to his chest, these were honors bestowed by several emperors.
There is an identity armband on the arm of the silk armor, with Qin Lang's official and military rank on it.
Behind Qin Lang are his eldest sons, General Zuo Yulin, Five Star General, King Dongsheng Qin Jun, and a group of Qin family children behind him.
The elders stood up to greet him.
Today, they also put on silk armor on purpose. These silk armor look straight and mighty, especially those who are shining with stars, at least three-star generals. They also have many medals on their chests, most of them are Qin Lang. Awarded in the name of the King of Luzon, in recognition of their contributions to Luzon.
"I'm very happy to see that you old guys are still here. I'm afraid I won't see a few old faces."
Old Huang, who was over a hundred years old, took the lead to greet us, "Sanlang treated us old fellows so well, how could we be willing to leave early!"
Huang Biao, Wei Chang, Cui Yixuan, Xu Jingzong, Li Yifu, Qin Yong, Qin Yong, Qin Cunxiao, Qin Cunyi, etc., are basically gray-haired old men. These people are also veterans of Qin Lang's pioneering of Lu Song , and now they are all consultants of Qin Lang's advisory group.
Although the old ones seem to be dying, they are all young in their 60s and 70s, and those in their 100s are five or six. Those in their 80s and 90s are the main force, but these people have great energy in Luzon .
Behind everyone, there is a huge family power.
Just like Qin Lang's thirteen adoptive sons, they used to be in charge of the four yamen and the thirteen army. Although they have retreated to the second line now, they should not be underestimated.
"Sit down!"
Qin Lang patted his righteous son Qin Cunxiao, "Why are your backs bent? I haven't seen you for more than half a year. I feel that you have aged a lot."
"Grandpa, I'm almost seventy-seven this year. If it weren't for the health-preserving prescriptions that Grandpa gave me, I guess I would have gone to **** to see my old brothers."
Qin Lang smiled, "Maybe I can see your Turkic father when I get to the Nine Springs."
"Even if he is waiting for me, I will not recognize him. I, Qin Cunxiao, have only one father in this life, and that is the grand master. That Turkic slave is not my father, but my enemy. He went south with the Turkic army to plunder Hedong, I raped my mother, and finally abandoned her. My mother was insulted and suffered so much, and finally gave birth to me, but she still starved to death at the foot of Beiman Mountain. Some sacrifices in front of the tomb also starved to death long ago, and at that time, there was only one wild **** named Datou missing in the world. It was because I met the Grand Master that I got a new life!"
Speaking of these, Qin Cunxiao was still very excited.
When Qin Lang met this kid in front of the tombs of Luo Shixin and Pei Xingyan, he was still called Li Datou. Qin Lang saved him and named him Li Cunxiao, letting him inherit his mother's surname. No other ideas.
But this kid is indeed a person who knows how to repay his kindness. Qin Lang helped him to study and practice martial arts. Later, he worked hard to become a captain in the Forbidden Army. He was young and promising, and he had a bright future. Come over here.
Most of Qin Lang's other adopted sons are poor people in troubled times with similar backgrounds as Cun Xiao, war orphans or starving people, etc. Qin Lang is not like other aristocrats adopting sons, he just treats them as trusted servants and raises them. Like parents and children, send them to study and practice martial arts, and even pave the way for them to enter official careers.
But in the end, they all chose to go south to vote for Qin Lang, to assist Qin Lang in developing Wu'an, conquering Luzon, and establishing a solid foundation in Nanyang.
Qin Lang also conferred titles and allocated land for them in Luzon.
Now, it's time to give them back further.
