A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 380 There are no finished eggs under the nest

"It's been cold recently, old injuries have flared up, and I can't sleep at night. Help me take a look."

After going down to court, Qin Qiong asked Huaiyu to sit in his carriage and asked him to help him feel the pulse and prescribe a prescription.The two of them went out of the palace gate and got into Qin Qiong's carriage.

"What happened?"

Although Qin Qiong is the Minister of the Ministry of War, the director of the Donggong soldiers and horses, and the general of the left guard, participates in political affairs, and enters the political affairs hall as a prime minister, but although Qin Qiong goes to court and enters the political affairs hall every day, he rarely expresses his opinions, and is even criticized by some officials. He ridiculed him as a sick prime minister, saying that Qin Qiong was as fierce as a tiger on the battlefield back then, but now he is a sick cat. He dozed off when he came to the political affairs hall to discuss matters. No matter what was discussed, he would say that he would do what everyone said.

Today's personnel transfer in the court is very unusual.

But Qin Qiong, as the prime minister, didn't even hear any rumors.

"Did Father recently hear that there is a woman surnamed Yuan in Chang'an?"

Qin Qiong shook his head. He rarely visits friends now, and he doesn't open the door to welcome guests. Except for going to court, he spends the rest of his time studying behind closed doors at home, and rarely pays attention to gossip and gossip.

"There is a sorceress surnamed Yuan in Chang'an. Recently, she spread a prophecy that the sun will appear, which heralds the heroine's prosperity. This prophecy is actually that she spent money to buy the servant of Li Chunfeng, a doctor of history from the Taishi Bureau, and stole the content of Li Chunfeng's secret melody for the emperor.
The complete prophecy in Li Chunfeng's Mizuo is the eleven characters passed down by the emperor for three generations, Li Xing in the Wu Dynasty, and the heroine Chang. "

Qin Qiong's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Dr. Li Chunfeng and Qu Yili, how bold is An Gan? Who is this acting as a pawn to attack the Wu family?"

Based on intuition, Qin Qiong concluded that this incident was by no means the result of simple stargazing and fortune-telling. It must be someone who wants to engage in martial arts.

Li Chunfeng is just a tool.

Huaiyu smiled helplessly, he had the same intuition as Qin Qiong, this matter is not simple, someone must be messing with the Wu family.

But he couldn't figure out why Li Chunfeng wanted to stand out.

Huaiyu also told Qin Qiong that the eleven characters came from the secret record.

Qin Qiong doesn't care about secrets or secrets. The general who has survived the battle is not only brave, but also very lucky. What's more, he has a keen intuition. This kind of intuition can turn danger into good luck on the battlefield.

"I've seen the secret note before, and it's full of awkward words and sentences, which are harder to guess than lantern riddles. Li Chunfeng obviously has ulterior motives when he picks out such a sentence,"

Qin Qiong comforted Huaiyu, "Although His Majesty dismissed your four part-time jobs today, you should not have any thoughts. I will help you investigate this matter."

In this incident, not only was his adopted son Wu Huaiyu dismissed from four part-time jobs, but his old brother Li Junxian was already in a huge crisis, and it was not a good thing to be transferred to Huazhou Governor.

Huaiyu remained calm.

Because just based on these words now, Wu Huaiyu will not be in any danger. After all, he is still young. The prophecy corresponds to him, but it also planted a thorn.

This thorn is a huge hidden danger. It is fine now, but it does not mean that it will be fine in the future, unless the thorn is pulled out.

Qin Qiong held the hand warmer with both hands, his brows were furrowed, he felt that a storm was coming.

"The most important thing right now is not to be in a hurry, not to mess up the position first, we have to be steady, and only then will we have a chance to find the other party's flaws."

"Ah."

He felt Qin Qiong's pulse in the carriage, and prescribed a new medical prescription for him, and the two of them returned to Yongxingfang together.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the house, the door of Wei's house next door opened, and Old Wei came out.

"My family's newly brewed wine is ready, come and taste it."

Huaiyu responded with a smile, and went to the door with Wei Zheng.

Mrs. Pei brought a jug of freshly baked wine, the wine was clear.

A plate of fried peanuts, a plate of white cut lamb,
The two drank early in the morning.

Today is ten days off,
Old Wei poured wine for Huaiyu and comforted him.

He didn't say much, the rumors in Chang'an City are always the fastest, even what happened in the Golden Palace in the morning could spread to every corner of Chang'an before noon.

As the prime minister, Wei Zheng is still the secretary and supervisor, and Li Chunfeng is his subordinate, so he also knows some inside information about this incident.

But his attitude towards that prophecy is disdainful, that is nonsense,

If Wu Huaiyu is a founding father with great achievements, it is possible for you to say that he has some ambitions, just like Luo Yi's rebellion. Nobility is due to the king, and now the king's nobility has appeared, and he will be promoted to the throne in ten days.

Luo Yi's qualifications, ambitions, and these prophecies are indeed different.

Another example is that people like Li Xiaochang talk about fate to each other, and if they are stabbed out, it is a dead word.

But if someone wants to say that Wu Huaiyu is going to rebel, or even say that Li Xing, the heroine of the Wu Dynasty, is Chang, isn't that just nonsense?
It was rare that old man Wei could comfort others so thoughtfully. Huaiyu also let go of drinking at Wei's house, and returned home only half drunk.

A drunk to relieve a thousand sorrows.

No headaches for now at least.

When he woke up, his eldest brother Wu Huaiyi had already returned to Beijing from Hexi, and he returned to Beijing with the warrior Xun.

"I heard that rumor."

Wu Huaiyi handed Huaiyu a cup of hot tea, worried. He had worked in Guazhou Governor's Mansion Sima Ren for a year.

This time when he entered Beijing Chaoji, he had heard that he was going to be promoted to governor, but now when he entered Beijing, he heard such a thing.

Huaiyu took a few sips of tea to clear his mind, "Brother, you don't have to worry too much,"

"Fourth Uncle said let's go over to have dinner at night and get together with the Jing people."

"tonight?"

Huaiyu originally thought this was not a good time, but thinking about not doing anything wrong and not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, when encountering such a big event, the family members should indeed discuss the countermeasures together.

Get up and wash up, go to invite Lao Wu, and then the family goes to Zhou Guogong's warrior mansion.

Wu Shike brought three sons, his wife and Cheng Fan's two daughters-in-law, and his concubines also accompanied him. As for the other concubines, they stayed at home.

They also specially picked up Ma Zhou and Wu Yu'e couple.

When the family arrived at Duke Zhou's mansion, Si Nongqing, Warrior Ling, and Lizhou Governor, Warrior Yi also arrived. Warrior Rang was paralyzed at home, and his sons Wu Huaiyun, Wu Huailiang, and Wu Weiliang also came.

Samurai Xun's four younger brothers and four families, and Wu Shike's family also came from three cousins. In addition, there were also several families from other Wu families in Bingzhou. There were quite a lot of people.

But today, none of the members of the Wu Clan looked happy, and everyone looked solemn.

A word of prophecy may bring disaster to the Wu family.

Today's martial arts family can be regarded as a rising upstart, Zhou Guogong warrior Xun, Yi Guogong Wu Huaiyu, uncles and nephews are all meritorious officials of six hundred households,
Both Samurai Leng and Samurai Yi are falsely named county magistrates, and one Secretary of Agriculture and one Governor.

Wu Huaiyi also has the noble of Daling County, and he is also the Sima of the Dudufu. Although Wu Shike is only a sixth-rank and seventh-rank officer, there are still many children of the Wu family who are officials, from sixth to ninth rank, there are twenty or thirty.

It can't compare to those old aristocrats and old clans, but among the emerging nobles, it is also a very remarkable existence.

But now, a word of prophecy puts the family in danger of being destroyed.

Under the cover of the nest, there is no complete egg.

In this era, the relationship between bloodline families cannot be separated.

The women played in the backyard with their children, and the men drank tea in the front hall.

Samurai Xun and Huaiyu meet and embrace each other.

Then he sighed directly: "I have just written a resignation letter to the saint, please resign from the post of governor of Liangzhou, I am getting old, and my body can't bear the wind and sand in the northwest."

"Uncle, don't worry too much about the rumors. Someone must be attacking our Wu family behind the scenes. I've already started to investigate."

The warrior Xun smiled and said, "I just sat in the study and thought about it for a long time. I thought that when I was in the previous dynasty, I was just a merchant who sold wood. Although I had accumulated some wealth, I was still just a humble merchant. , Starting from the dragon, he was actually listed as a hero in the founding of the country.

I am also getting old and old, and now I want to enjoy a few years of happiness with peace of mind, "

"Our Wu family also has Huaiyu Huaiyi Huailiang Junya Junwei waiting for you young and handsome people. I can rest assured that there are successors."

In fact, the samurai Xun was only in his early fifties and was still very young. When he was 40 years old, he met Li Yuan, an angel invested, and bet all his wealth on Li Yuan. Only two years later, he became one of the heroes of Yuanmou in Taiyuan, and he was named Yingguo in Jin Dynasty male.

Since then, in the Wude Dynasty, he has always been the emperor's confidant and held important positions.In the new dynasty of the Emperor Zhenguan, he also quickly gained the emperor's approval, from Yangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion Chief Shi, to Yongzhou Biejia, to Huangmen Servant, and then served as Liangzhou Governor.

It is a time when the official career is proud, and it is indeed a pity to resign now.

But Lao Wu has a unique vision. When his father was the prime minister of the Eastern Capital, the samurai Xun relied on this relationship to quickly make a deal. While building the Eastern Capital, he started a timber business and made a lot of money. Later, he saw the chaos of the world. After that, he spent money to buy an official position as the captain of Yingyang Mansion.

In the end, Li Yuan was chosen to stay in Taiyuan, and he gave up his family to help, in exchange for incomparable wealth.

Now he saw the crisis and decided to resign.

Just like when Li Shimin first came to the throne, the warrior Xun also took the initiative to ask him to go out.

The two brothers, Samurai Yi and Samurai Ling, both expressed their age and wanted to submit their resignations.

"We are all old, we are getting old, and we just resigned to enjoy the blessings at home. Huaiyu and you are still young, so work hard."

The three brothers had a solid idea. Instead of letting the emperor be suspicious of dismissing the official and seizing the title, they should take the initiative to resign, so that at least the emperor can let them understand current affairs.

Of course, this is not a retreat. When this gust of wind passes, there may be a chance to make a comeback.

To be in their position, one must not only be able to see the direction of the wind, but also be able to endure loneliness.

The Wu family felt a little sad when they ate this family dinner.

Everyone even prepared for the worst.

After dinner.

Samurai Xun took the lead in donating [-] mu of free land to the Wu family, another [-] mu as a school field, [-] mu as a cemetery, and some money and food for the family's free warehouse.

There are also school fields and cemeteries in these free warehouses and fields, which were specially protected in ancient times. Donations from the clan were dedicated to the relief of the orphans, widows, old, weak and disabled. Confiscating the property, these properties will not be confiscated.

After the warrior Xun took the lead, members of the Wu clan also donated land, food and money one after another. Wu Huaiyu also donated [-] mu this time, and also donated a batch of money and food.

This can also be called a transfer of property, but it is legal.

Nominally, after donating money and food from the field, it is for exclusive use and no longer belongs to the donor.The imperial court encourages righteous property in this race, because he has assumed part of the imperial court's responsibilities.

It is very unusual for members of the Wu clan to donate thousands of acres of land at once, and they are also prepared for the unexpected.

If something happens, at least some money can be saved for the continuation of the incense.
