The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1910
Dou Xiaoguo listened quietly, but since he disappeared after chasing those thieves, what does it have to do with his becoming an official in the court?
Dou Xiaoguo thought so, and asked the same question.

"After learning that you disappeared because of chasing those thieves, His Majesty praised you, saying that you have courage and strategy, and said on the spot that you will leave the position of Minister of Rites to you. You are not joking." Dou Yan said: "So , your official position is considered stable."

"But why would your majesty do this? Even if my nephew went after those people, it wouldn't be worth being your majesty, right?" Dou Xiaoguo was still puzzled.

"Think about it, who are those people kidnapping, the eldest lady of the Xuan family, the daughter of Xuan Shijing, Duke of Qi, and now Xuan Shijing is helping His Majesty handle the case of the bank. What's the matter? Can't the court even protect the family members of ministers who are on business abroad? What's more, Xuan Shijing has a very good personal relationship with His Majesty, and is His Majesty's brother-in-law. But speaking of it, she was also His Majesty's niece. What's more, what they wanted to tie up at that time was not only the eldest lady of the Xuan family, but also the eldest son of the Xuan family. That was the real child of Princess Jinyang, the Supreme Emperor Your granddaughter." Dou Yan said: "Furthermore, you saved the eldest son of the Xuan family who is very important to the Xuan family, and the eldest son of the Xuan family is so involved with the royal family. , Of course your cousin wants to show merit for you in the court, so, combining these reasons, His Majesty will grant you an official position."

"So that's the case." Dou Xiaoguo nodded thoughtfully: "But, uncle, my nephew doesn't want to be an official yet."

Hearing this, Dou Yan sighed: "Nephew, I'm afraid you can't help this matter. Once His Majesty came to speak eloquently, and the words have already been said, it is impossible for His Majesty to take them back immediately. The two Come on, uncle will not hide it from you. Speaking of it, our Dou family has also encountered some things recently, and we have to stabilize our family's seat in the court. If you can enter the court, it will be a great deal for our Dou family. Speaking of it, it must be a good thing, and, just because you saved the two children of the Xuan family, the relationship between our Dou family and the Xuan family will also usher in a new opportunity, so to speak, do you understand? ?”

Dou Xiaoguo knew about the affairs between their Dou family and the Xuan family. Apart from himself and An An, there was also the death of Dou Kui, which had something to do with the Xuan family. In addition, the death of Dou Shanglie was caused by Duke Xuanshi of Qi. The case that Jing helped solve, speaking of which, the Dou family should also accept this favor.

Now, he accidentally saved the two children of the Xuan family.

To be honest, the grievances and grievances between the Dou family and the Xuan family have long been unclear, but it seems that the Xuan family doesn't take it very seriously, but the Dou family does remember it.

Also, because the Xuan family has never suffered any disadvantages when facing the Dou family, and the ones who suffer are always the Dou family.

"So, between the Dou family and the Xuan family, is it time to get rid of the past?" Dou Xiaoguo asked.

Dou Yan nodded: "That's right, uncle, let me tell you the truth. Now Xuan Shijing is investigating the bank's case, and it has really been investigated to a certain extent. Our Dou family is also involved in it. But this time, if We have made good friends with the Xuan family, and when we are found out, firstly, we have already made up for the shortfall in the bank, and secondly, with this friendship, our Dou family can sit back and relax. , His Majesty has already given a hint that he can not pursue the matter of the Dou family's involvement in the bank, and give the Dou family a way out.

Otherwise, if His Majesty pursues it, I am afraid that the Zheng family today will be the Dou family tomorrow. "

Dou Xiaoguo listened to his uncle talking about this matter, but his intuition told him that this matter was not as simple as his uncle said.

Now that His Majesty is so cautious about the matter of the bank, how could he let the Dou family go because of his kindness to the Xuan family?
Just like a steelyard, Dou Xiaoguo felt that his own weight could not even weigh the weighing pan.

"But what else do you not understand?" Dou Yan looked at his nephew and asked.

"The matter involving the bank has been dealt with at the present position, and the Zheng family has been dealt with. Now that Duke Xuan has gone to Dengzhou to investigate the Wang family, it can be seen that His Majesty is determined to this matter. How does Uncle feel that His Majesty will only let it go?" The Dou family?" Dou Xiaoguo asked.

"In today's world, the five surnames and seven clans are the most famous families in the world. Since the Tang Dynasty, even after the Wude and Zhenguan dynasties, the five surnames and seven clans are no longer the grand occasion of the past, but a lean camel is bigger than a horse. As for who is a camel and who is a horse, Xiaoguo, you know it yourself. Now it is said that it is to investigate the bank, but who is the most threatening after the bank is investigated? Five surnames and seven sects, it is said to be an investigation of the bank, in fact, it is to weaken the five Aristocratic families surnamed Qizong, by the way, those unclean officials below will also be implicated. Since the beginning of the Yonghui Dynasty, His Majesty has made a big move. Obviously, His Majesty is not thinking about it for a day or two. Even this As for the matter, the Supreme Emperor also participated in it at the beginning, or in other words, it was originally decided by the Supreme Emperor."

"If we weaken the aristocratic family, our Dou family should also belong to this category, although our Dou family is not a five-surname and seven-family clan." Dou Xiaoguo said.

"That's right, our Dou family is a dignitary, and of course it belongs to the family, but don't forget that Queen Taimu is from our Dou family, and the Supreme Emperor is the child of Queen Taimu." Dou Yan said: "Plus Our Dou family still has marriage with the royal family."

Speaking of it, the Dou family is not as crazy as the five surnames and seven families. The children of the five surnames are internally digested in their circle, and they even look down on those from the royal family. If the prince of the royal family wants to marry the five surnames, the family dares reject.

The Dou family is an aristocratic family, but Sheng is listening to the emperor.

"However, the five surnames and the seven sects are still giants nowadays, especially when they are determined to unite." Dou Yan said: "Your Majesty is afraid that once they unite to deal with the Xuan family, the Xuan family will be isolated and helpless. Therefore, what Your Majesty means is to make the Dou family stand on the side of the Xuan family."

"Our Dou family wants to deal with the five surnames and seven sects together with the Xuan family? But this is not a safe thing, if one fails, it will set us on fire." Dou Xiaoguo said.

"That's right, but right now, we have no choice." Dou Yan said, "The chance of getting burned is always lower than the chance of playing with fire and setting ourselves on fire. Besides, it is the Xuan family who are leading the way, not our Dou family. But once we If you don't obey His Majesty's wishes, then our Dou family will be classified by His Majesty as the Zheng family, Xiaoguo, the aristocratic family, is not what it used to be, and so is the royal family."
