Chapter 558 The old story of the eldest grandson's family [the eighth consecutive day
"Please be sure to request a visit to the senior officials of the Tang Dynasty. We Goguryeo will not wait here to wait for death."
Yeon Gaesomun asked Brother Cui, the envoy.
"Your idea is not wrong. It's just that when we came to Datang this time, we were restricted in every way, and we made mistakes every step of the way. Now Datang regards us as enemies, and envoys from various countries are unwilling to have any dealings with us. If this deadlock is not broken,
, our great Goguryeo will be surrounded by enemies on all sides, making every move difficult!"
The Goguryeo envoy analyzed the situation at hand very accurately.
"This deadlock must be broken!" Yeon Gaesumun said again.
"Let's try again." The Goguryeo envoy Bojuyuan Gaesumun wrote three letters, one to the Choi family of Qingha and the Choi family of Boling, and one to Wang Jishan. He wanted to think that they were both related to the Choi family.
Break this deadlock.
The letter was sent quickly.
This time, the letter to the Cui family in Qinghe was not to Cui Junsu, but to his father, the head of the Cui family. The head of the family is the head of the family, and the head of the clan is the head of the clan. Cui Junsu is in charge of a big family at home, and every family in the direct lineage of the Cui family respects him.
But his father was in charge of the entire Cui family, which included branches, side branches, and even other surnames that had taken refuge in the Cui family.
The letter to Wang Jishan cannot be exchanged. Wang Jishan is both the head of the family and the clan leader.
On the contrary, I wrote two letters from the Boling Cui family, and one of them was actually addressed to Cui Dunli. However, Cui Dunli was not the head of the family, nor the clan leader, but Cui Dunli was the chief historian of the Prince of Qin's palace.
"This is not something that a father can do!" Patriarch Lao Cui handed the letter to Cui Junsu.
"My son can't control this." Cui Junsu said helplessly after reading the letter.
"Then go find someone who can take charge. There are already 20,000 people in the Cui clan who are preparing to open a field in Liaodong. How to open it and where to open it. The final decision-making power still lies with the current emperor, and the allocation from the emperor comes from the King of Qin.
Our Shandong family is not the only one who is eyeing Liaodong for its conspiracy."
After Patriarch Lao Cui finished speaking, he asked the old servant to take the two young servants to carry their baskets and prepare to go out.
"Where is father going?"
"I'm making an appointment to play cards. It's in the Leminyuan Bar Street. I heard there is a bar full of Western style. Lao Lu has already booked a box." After Patriarch Lao Cui finished speaking, he ignored Cui Junsu and asked someone to prepare the carriage and went out.
.
Seeing the two young servants struggling, Cui Junsu thought to himself that they had brought enough gambling money.
Cui Junsu changed his clothes and went out. His target was the mansion of General Tiance.
When Cui Junsu arrived at Admiral Tiance's Mansion, Cui Dunli was standing at the door of the carriage from the Wang family in Taiyuan, as if he had predicted their arrival.
What Cui Junsu didn't know was that the Boling Cui family's approach was the same as Qinghe's, and the old patriarch also handed the letter directly to Cui Dunli.
"I don't know, who else will come?" Wang Jishan asked with a smile.
"There are already guests in the mansion. The eldest grandson family has been sent from Daibei. The Pei family and Wei family have been sent from Guanzhong. The Zhu family from the southeast and the Xiao family from Jiangsu and Zhejiang." Cui Dunli had a smile on his face.
It can be said that at that time, all the top aristocratic families in the Tang Dynasty were already focusing on the Tiance Admiral's Mansion.
Wang Jishan asked, "Who is coming from Changsun's family?"
Cui Dunli shook his head gently: "They couldn't have chosen well. Dai Bei should have asked the Lu family to come as a representative, and the last one should have been the Yuwen family, but they chose the eldest grandson Wuxian. Someone has heard that the eldest grandson
Wuji is on his way here."
Changsun Wuji, because his sister is the queen and he holds a high position, has always kept a certain distance from the Qin Palace.
But this time, he couldn't care less.
He must come.
Cui Junsu sighed: "There is no one in the eldest son of the Changsun family. Although Sunzi Yu, the eldest son of the second room, is a commoner, he is now the head of the Changsun clan. But all this happened after the founding of the Tang Dynasty and before.
Mrs. Gao and her two children were kicked out of Changsun's family, but it was these two children who made Changsun's second wife prosper."
"Your Highness is a man of temperament." Cui Dunli said again.
"You guys enter the house first, I'm waiting here for my eldest grandson Pushe!" After Wang Jishan finished speaking, he actually sat in the concierge.
But before Liang Cui could enter the house, a carriage rushed over. Before the carriage could stop, Changsun Wuji jumped out of the carriage. He saw the three people at the door, but he didn't even care about etiquette.
He lowered his head and rushed in.
"Are you going to vent your anger or take revenge?" Wang Jishan sat aside and yelled at Changsun Wuji.
Changsun Wuji looked pale, clenched his fists, and was stopped at the door by Cui Dunli.
"The fight between the legitimate sons and daughters of the family has been a story for hundreds of years. It's the same story in our Wang family. The fights inside and outside are bloody. Listen to me, Old Wang, you have to fight back home. You are not fighting here.
It’s a place, don’t forget that this is the residence of General Tiance. Even if you argue like this in Prince Qin Village, I won’t stop you, but the residence of General Tiance cannot!”
Wang Jishan really persuaded Changsun Wuji when he talked about the difference between Tiance Admiral's Mansion and Qin Wangzhuang.
"No argument, how about someone entering the house and asking Wu Lang to buy someone a drink?" Changsun Wuji said through gritted teeth. He really hated it in his heart. He could tolerate anyone in the Changsun family, but he couldn't bear this Changsun Wuxian, because he was
He, the third brother, kicked out his mother and his brother and sister.
Uncle Gao Jian took them in.
It can be said that Gao Jian is equivalent to half of Changsun Wuji's father.
"You are still named Changsun!" Wang Jishan persuaded again.
"Yes, if you really hate it, why didn't you change your surname to Gao back then? The surname Gao is also from a rich family, so this is a family matter of your eldest grandson's family. The King of Qin is a man of temper when you make trouble. After he knows what happened back then,
Even if he doesn't stand up for you, he will stand up for his imperial sister-in-law. Immediately afterwards, it is related to the interests of the entire Tang Dynasty, the interests of twenty-three great families, hundreds of third-class nobles and above, thousands of nobles, hundreds of
It’s for the benefit of the common people.”
Cui Junsu also opened his mouth to persuade.
"Alas..." Changsun Wuji let out a long sigh and said: "Actually, we brothers and sisters have nothing to argue with. One is a very popular minister, the other is the mother of the country. The other brother is an official, and his political achievements are not good.
Jia. But he is a bit stupid. I want to send him to Prince Qin’s palace to study for two years, hoping to make some progress."
Changsun Wuji told the truth. His relationship with Changsun's family has become very weak.
The Changsun family can be considered a very wealthy family. During the Sui Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, they were known as the Twelve Generals of the Eight Pillar Kingdom. However, after the Tang Dynasty, apart from Changsun Wuji, only two of the Changsun family had official positions of the third rank, and many
He is an official of fourth or lower rank. Far inferior to the previous dynasty.
The reason for this is naturally Changsun Wuji. In a word, he doesn't want to help Changsun's family at all.
In the residence of Admiral Tiance, Li Yuanxing and several guests were sitting around a large round table. There were many scattered fruit shells on the table, as well as many dried fruits, such as peanuts, walnuts, chestnuts, etc.
No plates were used, just scattered on the table.
Wang Jishan and others entered the room, and Li Yuanxing raised his hands happily: "Xiang Wei is really in a good mood today. I'm afraid that like me, the whole family went to Le Min Garden, and there wasn't even a cook at night!"
"Le Min Garden is an excellent place. I heard that Princess Hengyang submitted a letter requesting that Le Min Garden be open to men on single days and to women on even days. Otherwise, the number of people entering the park should be limited." Wang Jishan bowed his hands to those present, and everyone
In return, Wang Jishan smiled and sat down at the table.
Cui Junsu and Changsun Wuji entered the house.
There was something obviously wrong with the eyes of Changsun Wuji and Changsun Wuxian. Both of them looked very hostile.
Does Li Yuanxing really not know?
The historical records are very clear. Li Yuanxing has read the history of the Tang Dynasty. How could he not know about the Changsun family? He just pretended not to know.
Cui Dunli was the last one to come in. When he entered the room, he said: "Princess Hengyang wanted to eat roasted chestnuts. She lined up to buy them herself. But she queued for a quarter of an hour. When she arrived, the store didn't even have half a chestnut. I wanted to see it.
For singing and dancing, you can’t even buy the cheapest seat, so that’s why I submitted it!”
"It's a good thing. Let people who are used to reaching out and getting something get used to the feeling of not getting it. This is also a kind of tempering of the mind. Tell the stewards of the paradise residents that everything must be done according to the rules, and no one can break the rules. Happy
The Minyuan is a place where the royal family and the common people have fun together, especially those dandies in Chang'an who are just waiting to die. If they dare to cause trouble, they should be mentally prepared to be slapped!"
Hearing what Li Yuanxing said, Cui Dunli just smiled.
Li Yuanxing's explanation no longer needs to be given to Leminyuan specifically, and no one dares to cause trouble.
"Coming, coming!" Wei Zheng trotted in from outside, holding a basket in his hand. Seeing a few more people in the room, he bowed to each other and put the basket on the table: "This is someone's bet, and there will be another one."
How about the wheel?”
Wei Zheng took the wine out of the basket.
Wei Zheng explained what kind of game Li Yuanxing was playing, but it was very simple. Everyone put a few peanuts in their tea cups, and then they took turns guessing a number, which could only be bigger, not smaller. Wei Zheng guessed three
When it came to eighteen pills, Wei Ting, who was sitting next to him, didn't believe it. Everyone opened the tea cups and found that the number was less than thirty-eight pills. Wei Zheng lost.
Then Wei Zheng ran errands to get wine from the warehouse at the back.
The teacups are placed, the peanuts are distributed, and a new round begins again.
Wei Zheng lost, so he called first.
"Twenty pills!" Wei Zheng was heartbroken. Li Yuanxing called first in the last round and only called two pills for the first time. When he opened his mouth, he called twenty pills. It was really like a quick decision to win or lose in a game.
"Twenty-one!" Changsun Wuji calmly called out a number.
Everyone was chatting and shouting numbers. This was just a game. It was originally a game that Li Yuanxing used to lighten the atmosphere. There are all big shots here. Whoever loses has to run errands. The stakes are bigger than the money.
"By the way, tens of thousands of kilograms of pearls are planted a year. I wonder if I can get some money in the Western Regions. I am a little poor recently. I have to bulldoze four squares to build a new house, and I am also planning to start digging holes for my brother's new palace.
The most troublesome thing is that there is not enough money to build the Luoyang road, because it is two feet wider than the original design, which consumes a lot of money."
Li Yuanxing is calling for poverty.
However, Wei Zheng's hand shook and he not only knocked over his own tea bowl, but also knocked over all those belonging to his subordinate, Sun Wuji, and his superior, Cui Dunli. Now this round of guessing the peanuts game could no longer continue.
ps:
If I can't sleep, I get up and read another chapter.
ha.
I want to ask why I can't sleep.
That hateful little yellow man ran and ran, but in the end he overplayed and couldn't sleep.
