Chapter 1328 Two Saints Stand Together
The emperor personally poured tea for the two prime ministers.
Both Xu Jingzong and Li Yi's mansion were a little apprehensive. Today, no one dares to underestimate the emperor. He has supervised the country for nearly ten years and has been on the throne for almost fifteen years. Now everyone has truly seen the true nature of this emperor. Seriously, if you really get angry, it's really thunder from heaven.
Especially for Xu Jingzong, the veteran of the two dynasties, he can more clearly feel the difference between the holy ancestor and the present. Although Li Shimin is also an emperor who likes to play tricks, he would toss and beat the prime ministers at every turn, but the emperor always left room for his actions except for a few years before his death.
But the current one is different, he has one intestine leading to the end, and he is a person who will never die, just like Changsun Wuji and others, who are demoted again and again, and finally given death, even implicating the whole family, even the in-laws .
Such an emperor makes people fear and even frighten.
The emperor took a sip of his tea, his eyes were a little empty, as if he had fallen into some kind of contemplation.
Both Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu lowered their heads, not daring to disturb the emperor by making any noise.
"Tell me, what is the grand master doing now?"
The emperor withdrew his gaze and asked a question suddenly.
Li Yifu lowered his head, what is Qin Lang doing now?
At this time, it was already early winter in Luoyang, and the civil and military officials from all over the courts had basically entered Beijing, and they were making work reports in various yamen, and were being assessed by the department.
Qin Lang was supposed to be included in the Beijing court. He is the king of Qi, the only prince with a different surname in the Tang Dynasty because of his meritorious service, and he is in charge of Luzon Mansion, the largest foreign land in the Tang Dynasty. He and Lu Song Mansion are now under the names of his two sons-in-law, but who doesn't know that Qin Lang is the real head of the family.
Besides, Qin Lang also has the ranks of Taishi, Kaifu Yitong and the third division, as well as the title of Hongwenguan University Bachelor and a part-time national history.
But in previous years, Qin Lang did not enter the capital. Ever since he made a decision to support the current enthronement in Luoyang, and then resigned to leave the capital, he never crossed Wuling again.
This matter was originally a tacit understanding between Qin Lang and the emperor, and it has always been like this.
It is said that there is no snow in Luzon all year round, there is no distinction between spring, summer, autumn and winter, only dry and rainy seasons, or a short cool season. At this time, the first snow has already fallen in Luoyang, but Luzon should have just entered the most comfortable cool season of the year.
Maybe Qin Lang was swimming on the beach in San Francisco Bay, Luzon, drinking coconut juice?
"Do you want to call Qin Grand Master into the Beijing court?" Li Yifu asked tentatively.
The emperor chuckled.
Call him to Beijing, will he come?
If you don’t come, wouldn’t the imperial edict appear useless, what will the imperial court do then?
Unless Li Yin really made up his mind to completely turn his back on him, there was no need to summon Qin Lang to the capital, and even such an edict might cause Qin Lang's misunderstanding.
Li Yin also had complicated feelings towards Qin Lang.
But if he said that he would attack Qin Lang now, it would be impossible. The Emperor Li Yin, who had always been fearless, actually still had a trace of jealousy and fear towards Qin Lang in his heart.
Facing this teacher, he always felt that all his thoughts would be understood.
Such an opponent is powerless.
"I remember that Queen Linyi is the confidante of Grand Master Qin, how many children did they have?"
"Indeed, when Linyi was in civil turmoil, the princess fled outside, and later she was rescued by Qin Taishi, and the two had a relationship. Later, Princess Linyi got the help of my Tang Dynasty to restore the country, and was canonized as the king of Linyi by the late emperor. ·····Tai Shi and Queen Linyi have one son and three daughters together. His son is named Fan Ren, who first married the former king and princess of Chenla. , the second prince of Chenla Kingdom defeated his elder brother, Prince Chenla, and other brothers as the new king, and was canonized by the Tang Dynasty. After the king succeeds to the throne, the eldest daughter, the princess, will be married to Fan Ren..."
Li Yin played with the teacup in his hand, "I heard that among the three daughters of King Linyi, one married the prince of the King of the Mountain Empire, and now her husband has inherited the throne. His husband also became the king of Qiantuoli, and the other married the prince of Langyaxiu, and his husband also became the king of Langyaxiu?"
"That's true. The youngest daughter of King Linyi married Prince Langyaxiu, and her husband became the queen. She also officially donated Puluozhong, the island at the southeastern tip of her country, to Grand Master Qin. The total size of the island is not as large as that of Luoyang County, but it is located in an important strait leading to the Xiyi Seaway. It turns out that Langyaxiu and the Qiantuoli Kingdom on the opposite side of the strait have been competing for the island for a long time.
A king of Gantuoli once gave this island to one of his princes, and asked him to establish a feudal kingdom on the island, named Lion Castle.
Later, Lang Yaxiu took possession of the island and gave it to Grand Master Qin.
Qin Taishi expanded the port here and built a free trade port. Now it has become an important supply port and transit trade port on the Tang Ship to Xiyi Sea Route.
Because King Gantuoli is also the son-in-law of Qin Taishi, he gave this disputed island to Qin Taishi, and finally agreed, and Luzon, Linyi, Gantuoli, Shandi and even Chenla Kingdom all signed together gift agreement.
The Qin family named the port Lion Harbor. "
Hearing this, Li Yin stopped playing with the cup, and then continued.
"Grand Master Qin is really amazing."
The Qin family is really great. Before the Tang Dynasty, the Qin family could only be regarded as a member of the noble family, and it was never even considered a top-notch family. Although the Qin family has a long history, it only produced a few eunuchs. Just some petty officers.
But the Qin family is indeed very powerful in Tang Dynasty.
For example, now, there are two sisters in the palace, the imperial concubine and the concubine Shu. Qin Qiong pursues the title of king of Qi, and Qin Lang is also the king of Qi now. The righteous brother Qin Guozhong is the king of Huaihua County, Li Sheer is the king of Guide County, and Qin Qiong's son is the Duke of Qi.
This is not counting the Qin family's prefects and county magistrates, false feudal lords and uncles. After counting it, it is definitely the most powerful family in the court today.
Five surnames and seven families in Shandong or six surnames in Guanlong, naturally have a deeper foundation in terms of family reputation, but in terms of power in the court, they are definitely far inferior to the Qin family.
Which family can produce four princes, two dukes, and a bunch of county dukes, and Hou Bo?
Which family can have two concubines at the same time?
Who can own several pieces of secular land?
Only the Qin family.
The housewives of Qin Qiong are all queens of Linyi.
Li Yifu thought for a while and then said, "According to what I heard, Taishi Qin has had close contacts with the country of Wa in recent years. He signed a 21 agreement with the country of Wa earlier, and obtained 50,000 mu of land in Zhuzi of the country of Wa to build Tangjin free trade. In recent years, Hong Kong has penetrated into almost all aspects of the government and the people of the country of Wa, and the Qin family has a very strong influence in the country of Wa."
"Prince Zhongda, the eldest brother who just succeeded the King of Japan this year, has a very close relationship with the Qin family. He had proposed to marry Qin Lang's daughter several times before, but Qin Lang refused. In the end, Qin Lang offered his righteous brother Qin Yong's daughter Adopted as a righteous daughter, she married Prince Zhongda as his successor. After the death of Prince Zhong’s mother Wa Queen this year, he used the name of Crown Prince to rule Linchao and asked me to be conferred by the Tang Dynasty. Officially succeeded to the throne, after succeeding to the throne, the Qin family was made the queen. She did not make her brother, Prince Dahai, who had been helping her in power for many years, as the king's younger brother according to her mother's last wish, nor did she make her eldest son, Prince Otomo, the eldest son. The youngest son of the Qin family, Prince Tangjin, was established as the prince's son..."
Li Yin also has an impression of this Prince Zhongda, because this person took the power of the Wa Kingdom before he succeeded to the throne. But after he launched the Otomi Change, after killing the power ministers Suga Rulu, Suga Eizo and his son, he pushed his uncle Qingwangzi to succeed him, and himself ascended to the position of prince, but in fact he still used his uncle as a puppet.
After the death of his uncle, the eldest brother of the crown prince still did not succeed to the throne immediately, but continued to embrace his mother to ascend the throne of Wawang for the second time, but the real power was still in the hands of the crown prince.
It was not until six years later that the Queen died of illness, and Brother Zhong did not succeed to the throne until he was officially conferred by the Tang Dynasty.
Brother Zhong has cooperated with the Qin family for almost twenty years.
It is said that Brother Zhong often went to Luzon to visit Qin Lang, and every time he met, he would kneel down and worship Qin Lang. Before asking Qin Lang's adoptive daughter to be his wife, Brother Zhong even knelt down and called Qin Lang an adult, and Qin Lang's adoptive father.
Although Qin Lang never accepted it, Brother Zhong's respect for Qin Lang came from the bottom of his heart.
The close relationship between Qin and Wo is mutually beneficial to both of them. Brother Zhong has received a lot of financial support from Qin Lang, from loans to cooperative mining, port construction, workshops, and even political and military staff in all aspects. guide.
The comprehensive reform of the Wa country almost all feels that the Qin family is crossing the river. All aspects are now imitating the Qin family and Lu Song.
Brother Zhong even sent the Japanese army south several times to join the Luzon Qin army's conquest of the islands. The reward given by the Qin family was to provide more loans to the Wa country, sell them more weapons, and even send a staff team of officers to assist the Wa country in launching three conquests against the northern Ainu people and achieved great victories.
After every victory in the conquest of Yezo, the Qin family gets slaves, and the Wa country gets land, and then allocates some ports and mines to the Qin family, and the two sides benefit from each other.
Even the Qin family helped Brother Zhong defeat many forces against him, including several of his elder brothers, as well as some ambitious local powerful nobles, and assisted Brother Zhong to bring the imperial court of the Wa Dynasty to a centralized position.
In the past twenty years, the Qin family has obtained innumerable benefits from the Wa country. After losing the mineral raw materials in the Central Plains, the Qin family can still obtain tens of millions of catties of Japanese copper, as well as a large amount of silver and sulfur from the Wa country every year. wait.
And now the Wa country has also become an important cocoon supplier for the Qin family. Although the silk weaving industry in the Tangjin Freeport of the Qin family's Wa country is not as good as Suhang Lake and other places, its scale is also very considerable.
What's more, the country of Wa has also become an important sales area for the Qin family's important salt, sugar, tea, paper, glass and porcelain. At the same time, Tangjin has also become an important transit port for the Qin family's trade to the Korean Peninsula and even the Bohai Sea region.
Luzon and Wa are now tied very tightly.
It is as strong as the alliance between Luzon and Linyi now.
Li Yin remembered these names in his heart. Wa, Linyi, Zhenla, Qian Tuoli, Langyaxiu, Shandi, these countries in the sea or along the coast, have actually reached a close alliance with the Qin family in Lusong.
Things were even more headache than Li Yin expected.
In these years, Qin Lang really has not been idle in the South China Sea. No wonder even Luoyang has started to sing his name as a sage of the South China Sea.
It’s just that there are only two days in this day, and there is only one saint in the world. Luoyang has a Tang Dynasty saint, so how can it accommodate the next South China Sea saint?
Qin Lang wants the two saints to stand side by side?
Li Yin's eyes narrowed, with a fierce look in his eyes, his expression became more and more ugly!
