Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 354 Pei Ju is thinking about Guanlong's tangle
Pei House.

Pei Xuanji offered tea to his father, and obediently knelt on one side, ready to listen to his father's teachings.

"Yeah, the wind you mentioned refers to the crown prince and the king of Chu?"

Pei Ju glanced at his son appreciatively, took a sip of tea, and said, "Not bad."

Pei Xuanji pondered and asked: "Yeah, what do you mean, the king of Chu will fight with the crown prince?"

"Well." Pei Ju said: "The sage canonized the king of Chu as a general, obviously to let the king of Chu replace the king of Qin and check and balance the prince. In the future, the prince will assist the government, the king of Chu will be in charge of the army, and the sage will be in the middle to balance the two. Controlling power. Originally, this should be the matter of the King of Qin and the prince, but the death of the King of Qin is unclear, and now it is the turn of the King of Chu."

Pei Xuanji thought for a while and said, "Aye, the King of Qin has ambitions. My child knows this, but the King of Chu has always been indifferent to the world. How could he compete with the crown prince?"

Pei Ju said: "Stupid boy, the King of Chu was not noticed before, and he didn't have much power in his hands. Even if he had ambitions, he was powerless, but now with the support of saints, who can guarantee that the King of Chu will not be ambitious.

Not everyone can give up the emperor's throne calmly.What's more, even if the king of Chu is unwilling to fight, the sage will force the king of Chu to fight the prince.

Furthermore, the fact that the King of Chu has been able to persevere in Chang'an to this day is enough to show that this son is extraordinary.When Wang Mang was humble and humble, the King of Chu was by no means as honest as he appeared on the surface. "

"But the King of Chu is just a concubine, the saint will not make him the crown prince." Pei Xuanji said.

"Hehe." Pei Ju said: "You forgot that the King of Chu has military power in his hands."

"What Aye means is that the King of Chu might rebel in the future?" Pei Xuanji asked in shock.

Pei Ju said: "It doesn't have to be the king of Chu, it is also possible for the king of Qi. The king of Qin has always been rigorous, marching and fighting, and he pays attention to making decisions before moving, but this time he was cut off by the Turks. At that time, King Qi and Liu Wenjing were in good Yang, if there is nothing in it, I don't believe it.

King Qi has always been cruel and ambitious. It seems that he supports the prince, but he himself is obsessed with power. It may be said that King Qi will be the one who will rebel in the future. "

"Hiss." Pei Xuanji sucked in a breath of cold air, "I thought that after the death of King Qin, the crown prince's position would be completely stable, but now after listening to Aye's analysis, I feel that there is a lot of fog."

Pei Ju sighed: "The sons of the sage are not ordinary people. Needless to say, the crown prince and the king of Qin are outstanding people. Although the king of Qi is cruel, he also has merit. Since the sage came to the throne, the king of Chu has never suffered a loss.

More importantly, this son is no less talented than King Qin in marching and fighting.This time the crown prince was banned from participating in the government affairs, and the king of Chu performed beyond the old man's expectations in the court. He was not like a yellow-mouthed child. "

Pei Xuanji asked: "In this case, Aye, where is my Pei family going?"

Pei Ju said: "The Eastern Palace has the upper hand now, and we feel that we have made a decision. Now we go to seek refuge with the crown prince, but it's just icing on the cake. We can't compete with the Wang family, the Lu family, and the Zheng family. If this is the case, it is better to wait and see."

"But what if Donggong wins over Aye?"

"Hehe, refuse." Pei Ju took a sip of tea.

Pei Xuanji couldn't help asking: "Aye, you don't like the prince?"

boom.

Putting down the teacup, Pei Ju said lightly: "It's not that I don't like the prince, but I can't see through the king of Chu. In the past, King Qin was alive, and King Chu was not eye-catching enough, so that we all ignored him, but since the king of Chu canonized the god Since I was General Ce, I suddenly discovered that the King of Chu is by no means as simple as it appears on the surface.

In the Shence Mansion, there are reckless heroes and children from aristocratic families.Although he does not have the support of the Guanlong family or the Shandong family, his power should not be underestimated.Yang Gongren has a very good relationship with the King of Chu, and they are relatives because of Princess Chu.Once the king of Chu rises, Yang Gongren will definitely support it.In addition, the side concubine of King Chu is the former Princess Huaiyang of the Sui Dynasty.In this way, the Hongnong Yang family, former ministers of the Sui Dynasty, will definitely help.

Not easy. "

Pei Xuanji asked, "Aye, is he going to support King Chu?"

Pei Ju was silent for a while, then said, "Don't worry, let's take a look."

Do you support King Chu?

He really thought about this point.Going to the East Palace is the icing on the cake, but going to the Shence Mansion is a timely gift.

Once King Chu succeeds, Wenxi Pei will return to the top.

But the problem is that there are not many aristocratic families supporting King Chu, which makes him hesitate a bit.

The Pei family is hesitating, and the attitudes of the Guanlong family are also polarized.

Doufu.

Because Dou Wei's health was getting worse and worse, several heads of the Guanlong family gathered in the Dou Mansion in the name of visiting to discuss the next step of the Guanlong family.

King Qin is dead, they have to think about themselves.

There are really not many families in the Guanlong family that have weight in the Tang Dynasty. After hundreds of years of prosperity and decline, several families have gone into decline.

Their main composition is the descendants of the twelve generals of the Eight Pillar Kingdom in the Western Wei Dynasty.

For example, the few remaining Yuwen clan members of Yuwentai's lineage are not well-known in the court, and Yuwen Rutong, Yuwenkai's son, is now a member of the king of Chu and is very popular.As for Yuwen Shiji, that is Yuwenshu's son. Yuwenshu's original surname is Poyetou, and he has nothing to do with Yuwen's family. It can only be said that he is related to the Guanlong family.

What's more, Yu Wenshu was once a running dog of Emperor Sui Yang, and was kicked out by the Guanlong family long ago.

Another example is the lineage of Yuan Xin, which is rarely seen among the clansmen in the Tang court.For example, Yuan Renji and Yuan Renhui did not come to the Dou Mansion this time.Because the Yuan family experienced the end of the Sui Dynasty, many important clan members were either killed or injured, and the whole family was in a weak state.

Yu Shiqian, the head of the Yu clan, the Duke of Yan, has come over.

For another example, the Zhao family and the Hou Mochen family have all declined, and their reputation has not been obvious.

Another example is that the descendant of Li Bi in the Eight Pillars Kingdom is Li Mi. He has already died, and the whole family has become a second- and third-tier family of the Guanlong Group.

The subsequent twelve great generals, such as the Doulu family, the Wang family, the Han family, the Liang family, the Helan family, etc., basically belonged to the Guanlong family in the third and fourth tiers.

If you want to make a rough classification of the current Guanlong family, then the first class is undoubtedly the Dou family, the Dugu family, and the Yu family.

The next best are Jingzhao Webster, Zhao, Li, and Changsun.

The first class again is Shuangkaifu, the descendant family of the twenty-four generals.

Although the Guanlong Group has suffered and lost a large part of their strength through decades of political struggles, mutinies, rebellions, and wars, their unity is undoubtedly terrifying.

At present, those who can make decisions for the Guanlong family are mainly the Dou family, the Dugu family, and the Yu family.As for other families, either there are few people in the court, or their own children are mediocre.

In the inner room, Dou Kang, Dugu Sheng, and Yu Shiqian are arguing fiercely about the future of the Guanlong family.In the outer room, dozens of heads of the Guanlong family gathered together to discuss in low voices.

In the past, they supported Li Shimin under the leadership of the Dou family and the Dugu family, thinking that the Guanlong family would return to the top in the future.

But they never expected that Li Shimin died, and now they are confused and at a loss.

Li Yuan's attitude towards them is very clear, suppress!

Therefore, they no longer put their hopes on Li Yuan, what's more, Li Yuan is in his fifties, how many years can he live?

Only the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty is the object of their bets.

But the problem is, after King Qin's death, no one can fight against the prince anymore, it seems that they can only rely on the prince.

However, when they supported King Qin before, they often fought against the prince.

Right now, these Guanlong Patriarchs are all confused.

On the one hand, they worried that it would be useless to support Li Jiancheng, and on the other hand, they worried that if they did not support Li Jiancheng, they would deal with them when Li Jiancheng ascended the throne in the future.

Tangled ah.
