Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 355
It is the Dou family, the Dugu family, and the not weak Yu family that determine the future direction of the Guanlong family.

But the problem is that the three of them have different opinions and are polarized.

Dou Kang believed that the relationship between the Guanlong family and Li Jiancheng should be eased in time, and he did.

Yu Shiqian strongly opposed it, because the Yu family had supported Li Shimin very early on, and Yu Zhining was Li Shimin's confidant. He usually fought with the prince to the death.

The most important thing is that the life and death of Yu Zhining, who is very important to Yu Shiqian, is now uncertain, and the suspect who caused Yu Zhining's life and death to be uncertain is Li Jiancheng!
He suspected that Li Jiancheng was responsible for King Qin's death.

The court said that Yu Zhining was captured by the Turks, and his life and death were uncertain, but the question is, can Yu Zhining come back alive after falling into the hands of the Turks?
Yu Shiqian didn't believe it at all, he even thought that Yu Zhining was dead.

As for Dugu Sheng's attitude is to wait and see, no one supports, no one opposes.He upholds Duguzhen's last words and never bets lightly.

It's better to do nothing than to do something wrong.

None of the three could convince anyone.

Dou Kang is now the Patriarch of the Dou Family, and when Dou Wei dies, he will be the Patriarch of the Dou Clan, so his words are quite tough.

"Brother Yu, if you continue to fight against the crown prince, the Guanlong family will surely suffer catastrophe when the crown prince ascends the throne in the future!"

Yu Shiqian sneered, "Brother Dou, are you joking? Could it be that Li Jiancheng dared to imitate Emperor Sui Yang?"

"You!" Dou Kang was furious, "How can the two be compared! Brother Yu, the crown prince is now using the Shandong family, do you think the Guanlong family will be overwhelmed by the Shandong family in the future!"

"If he was a wise king, he would not be so stupid!" Yu Shiqian retorted.

Dugu Sheng also opened his mouth appropriately and said: "I think what brother Yu said is reasonable. If Li Jiancheng ascends the throne in the future and reuses the Shandong aristocratic family, he will definitely be harmed by him. This was the case in the Gaoqi puppet dynasty in the past. It is a foregone conclusion that the Great Tang will rule the world. The aristocratic family will definitely enter the imperial court, and he will definitely not only reuse the Shandong aristocratic family. Brother Dou, you are a little too worried."

Dou Kang said: "It's not that I'm too worried, but that's the fact. Even if Li Jiancheng won't only use the Shandong family, it is inevitable that we Guanlong people will be suppressed by him. We supported the King of Qin before, and we have been tabooed by the prince. , if we don’t change the court in time now, are we waiting for him to suppress us?”

Hearing this, Yu Shiqian sneered, even though he was from an aristocratic family, he also looked down on Dou's behavior, he had no integrity at all.

"Brother Dou is thinking of changing the court before King Qin's body is cold and buried. You are making Li Jiancheng despise us!"

"That's right." Dugu Sheng said, "The more we impatiently lean towards him, the more he will look down on us. Besides, the Great Tang is based in Guanlong. Is it possible that Li Jiancheng will dare to move the capital to Luoyang in the future? Unless he wants to do it The second Sui Yang Emperor!"

"You!" Dou Kang was so angry that he was going to die. His persuasion was not just for the Dou family, but for the entire Guanlong family. He never thought that Yu Shiqian and Dugu Sheng would be so short-sighted.What time is this, and you're still putting on airs!

"You mean to resist the prince to the end?"

Yu Shiqian sneered and said: "There is no need to resist. Among the Shandong aristocratic families, the two Cui surnames also did not support Li Jiancheng very much. If he ascends the throne, my Yu family's children will not be able to serve in the Tang Dynasty, what's the problem!"

Dou Kang got up and walked back and forth a few steps, saying: "Do you think I'm only for the Dou family? I'm for the entire Guanlong family!"

Dugu Sheng said: "Thank you Brother Dou for your kindness, Dugu doesn't need it."

He was not stupid, and Dou Kang impatiently pulled the Guanlong man towards the crown prince, no doubt to give Dou family confidence, and even to obtain Li Jiancheng's forgiveness by using this as a qualification for promotion.

Why?
You were the ones who fought Li Jiancheng the hardest back then, but now you want the entire Guanlong family to buy it for you?
joke!

The three of them have their own opinions, Dugu Sheng wanted to wait and see, Yu Shiqian disagreed to lean on the prince, Dou Kang wanted all the Guanlong family to lean on the prince immediately.

Opinions are not unified, and no one can convince anyone.

So, broke up unhappy.

Dou Kang was so angry that he went into the inner room to see Dou Wei.

"Seeing you look like this, is this a failure?" Dou Wei looked at him with a slightly distracted gaze.

Dou Kangqi said: "A group of short-sighted people, now that the crown prince's position is stable, no one can threaten him anymore, if they don't get closer to the crown prince at this time, is it really necessary for the Guanlong family to survive Li Jiancheng's reign?"

Dou Wei was silent for a while, before he said slowly: "In the past, Dugu Zhen and I supported the King of Qin as the heir. Although the two sides agreed, they had different ideas. Dugu Zhen believes that we can support the King of Qin, but we cannot be tied to the King of Qin. Together. But I feel that only if we have the same interests as King Qin can we revitalize the Guanlong family in the future.

Therefore, Dugu Zhen didn't ask many Dugu's children to help King Qin, but only provided money and food.And I let the leader of the family serve the king of Qin.

This time, King Qin fell, and the crown prince became powerful.The Dugu clan didn't offend the prince much, so they can naturally sit on the dry shore. As for the Yu clan, since the establishment of the Tang dynasty, they haven't interfered too much in government affairs, so they can naturally get out of it.

Only I, the Dou family, are deeply tabooed by the prince. "

Dou Kang deeply agreed, and said: "In this case, we have to rely on the prince by ourselves."

Dou Wei said: "It's not exactly the case."

"What do you mean by that?" Dou Kang was puzzled.

Dou Wei thoughtfully said: "Now the crown prince is not threatened by the king of Qin, and his position is indeed stable, but the turmoil in the court has not stopped. Li Yuan canonized the king of Chu as a general, obviously to check and balance the crown prince, but in fact he is also cultivating the ambition of the king of Chu.

In the future, if the king of Chu makes a dangerous move to kill the crown prince King Qi, it is unknown whether he will forcibly ascend the throne. "

"This..." Dou Kang said in shock: "The king of Chu dare not do this."

"Hehe." Dou Wei sneered: "In the past, the King of Chu naturally didn't dare to do this, and maybe he didn't even think about it. But I don't believe that the King of Chu didn't have suspicions about the death of King Qin. Coupled with Li Yuan's intentional support, what do you think?" Will the king of Chu change?"

Dou Kang stopped talking, people's ambitions are slowly growing.

After a while, he asked, "So what should we do?"

"Don't do anything, just watch. Before the last moment, don't bet lightly, otherwise, if things change, Dou will be hit again."

"But the prince's side"

Dou Wei thought for a while, and said: "In the future, if the crown prince returns to the court, the Dou family can just avoid him and let their brothers fight on their own. Whoever wins, we support whoever wins."

Dou Kang pursed his lips, and said stubbornly: "But I still feel that we need to ease the relationship with the prince. I think Chu Wang and Qi Wang can't make things happen."

Speaking of this, Dou Wei said wearily: "Forget it, you can do it, but you have to be careful, don't do it like we did to King Qin."

"Yes."

After Dugu Sheng returned from the Dou Mansion, after thinking about it, he still felt that this matter should be dealt with safely and should not be taken lightly.

So, he summoned Dugu Ji and Dugu Wudu to discuss.

indoor.

"Brothers, that's the way it is. What should I do, Dugu?" Dugu Sheng conveyed Dou's and Yu's attitudes to them, waiting for their answers.

After Dugu Zhen's death, Dugu Clan's power was mainly controlled by Dugu Sheng, Dugu Wudu, and Dugu Ji.

Among them, as the head of the family, Dugu Sheng naturally holds the greatest power, but when it comes to the future of the Dugu Clan, he does not dare to neglect, and he should listen more to the opinions of Dugu Wudu and Dugu Ji.

After all, he hasn't been in control of Dugu's family for a long time, so he can't do what Dugu Zhen promises.
