Chapter 1453 Qin Lang's Prophecy
"Go to New Yangzhou with your father this time and work hard. I know you are capable, but you are still a little impatient. You must know how to restrain yourself. A man must be stable, he must be able to stretch and bend, and he must pay attention to methods when doing things." Qin Lang He patted the fourth grandson on the shoulder, "I also hope that you can become the governor of New Yangzhou in the future, and even one day be the governor of the river, or enter the court as the governor."
"Qin Rui, if you are capable enough in the future, you can consider a new route to a new world. When you get old and become an official, if you have an adventurous spirit, you can take some people to the new world and become a king there!"
Qin Rui smiled and said, "Okay, in the future, after I retire from the position of prime minister, if I am still strong, I will organize a fleet, go to the new world, establish a kingdom, and become a king."
"It's okay to be a king, but you must remember that you are still the Qin family, and you are still a subject of Datang. The kingdom of the new world is also a vassal of Datang."
Qin Rui looked at Qin Lang, surprised by his serious expression, he thought it was just a joke.
"Qin Yao, you can also consider it. The route of this new world will be controlled by our Qin family. The descendants of the Qin family who want to develop in the new world have the opportunity."
Qin Yao was not interested, and said truthfully, "If I really want to go out, maybe I will consider going to the depths of the East China Sea to find an archipelago to develop, or go to the east of the sea. I heard that Baishan Heishui is a vast land and has great potential. Even Liugui Yasha and others A world of ice and snow is better than the wildness of the new world, right?"
"Hehe, then everyone can do whatever they want."
Qin Chang eagerly put a bunch of corn that Qin Lang had just baked into his mouth.
"so spicy!"
Tang people are relatively weak against spicy food. As the saying goes, it is called onion spicy mouth, garlic spicy heart, and leeks are spicy.
The chili from the New World, although Qin Lang has tasted it is not a very spicy one, but it is also hotter than ordinary green peppers.
In addition to shabu-shabu, cumin, oil and pepper noodles, Qin Lang also specially sprinkled the homemade chili noodles on the roasted corn kernels, although he only put a little bit on purpose.
But the six-year-old Qin Chang still had tears and snot coming down his nose.
"Is it so spicy?"
Qin Rui didn't believe it. He felt that his son was hypocritical, so he picked up a skewer himself, and put the whole skewer into his mouth in one bite. After chewing twice, something went wrong immediately.
My forehead started to sweat, my face was flushed, and my eyes even widened. Then I started to inhale and exhale non-stop, but I was still unwilling to spit out the corn kernels.
"Aye, it's so spicy." Qin Chang stuck out his tongue and said to his father.
Qin Rui was still holding on there, "Hiss, it's okay, hiss, um, it tastes good, this corn is really good when roasted, it has a glutinous sweet feeling, hiss, soft and sweet, really good, Especially the craftsmanship of Gao Zu, it is really amazing, it is worthy of the chefs in restaurants and restaurants all over the world that they respect the existence of the God of Cooking, it is true that they enshrine Gao Zu as the God of Cooking, hiss..."
Qin Lang couldn't help laughing when he saw how strong he said, taking a few breaths. Qin Lang is eighty-four years old, and now he is not only enshrined as a military **** by the court, but also the king of heaven in the national ancestral hall. Not to mention all kinds of offerings, such as the King of Medicine, the God of Wealth, and the Door God. In many places, Qin Lang is enshrined as the City God.
The imperial court also invited Qin Lang into the Wu Temple as the Second Sage of the Wu Temple.
Many industries worship Qin Lang, and he is no stranger to it.
Qin Rui, on the other hand, has a really hard mouth, "Have a cup of coconut milk, the chili in this new world is hotter than dogwood and fuliu vine, and as for onion, garlic and leek, it's even worse. You have to get used to it slowly. , you will feel that the spiciness of this chili is authentic."
Qin Rui, who felt his mouth was hot and swollen, quickly took the cup and gulped down the coconut juice, "So this thing is called chili? It's really spicy enough."
Pepper, originally meant to refer to Chinese prickly ash, spicy. Qin Lang got this pepper back and forth from the New World. After Qin Rui felt its power, he felt that the name of this pepper was perfect. It really started spicy and then numb.
After drinking a large glass of juice, I still feel my mouth is spicy and spicy, so I quickly grabbed a few skewers of baked potato chips and ate them. This one has no chili, so it tastes crunchy.
Over there, Qin Yao saw that his son was so hot that the chili noodles were so hot that his lips turned red, so he only tried a little bit and then stopped trying. Instead, he took a roasted sweet potato to try.
"When you come to Beijing this time, bring some freshly harvested corn, potatoes, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, peppers, pumpkins, sunflowers, etc. to Beijing as tribute to the palace, and also bring them to Qin Lun and Xiaozhong who are in Beijing to try something new."
Qin Rui drank another large glass of coconut juice, and finally felt that his mouth was not so hot. "Isn't Gao Zu afraid that the saint will shout someone poisoned after tasting this chili pepper?"
"What nonsense!" Qin Yao scolded.
Qin Lang just laughed, "That should be reminded in advance."
"Isn't Gao Zu afraid that the imperial court will ask for the charts of the new world?"
Qin Lang didn't take it seriously, "Why? It took my Qin family fifty years and tens of millions of dollars to discover it. It is my Qin family's precious private property. Why should the court ask for it?"
Qin Rui couldn't answer these words. The current emperor is in his twenties and has just succeeded to the throne. It can be said that he has no prestige. He would never dare to **** the private property of Grand Master Qin Lang like this.
After all, Grand Master Qin is the elder of the Six Dynasties. On the other hand, the emperor is Qin Lang's great-grandson-in-law, and the empress dowager, empress dowager, and empress in the palace are all daughters of the Qin family.
After a special New World barbecue, Qin Rui bid farewell and left.
"Gaozu, you have to take care of your health."
"Don't worry, my bones are still strong. Look at the old Matou Ahuang. He is more than a hundred years old, and he is living well? Old guys like us in Luzon have a long life, seventy or eighty years old It's very common, there are still five old guys who are over one hundred years old, I don't think I will be worse than Lao Huang, Cui Yixuan, and Wei Chang, right?"
"Gaozu, you are the sky of our Qin family. As long as you are alive, the sky of our Qin family will be stable."
Qin Lang laughed, "Human, sooner or later there will be death. The current situation of the Qin family can be said to be against the sky. As long as this momentum continues, the Qin family will still be able to maintain a stable life for two or three hundred years." .”
The throne of the Li family has been passed down to the sixth generation, and the Qin family has seven generations from Qin Qiong to Qin Chang. Starting from Li Chengqian's queen Qin Shu, there are six emperors in the Li family, and the Qin family has four queens. The emperors are all nephews of the Qin family, and now the prince is the son of Queen Qin.
Therefore, there is a high probability that the crown prince's concubine will also be a daughter of the Qin family in the future.
Will this situation change for a while? As long as Qin Lang is still alive, it is impossible to change. This will form a very terrible situation. The Li family will be the emperor for generations, and the queens will come from the Qin family for generations.
Just like the previous Turkic khans were all from the Ashina family, and Ke Dun was from the Ashida family, or that the emperors of the Liao Kingdom all married the Xiao family in history. Once this kind of thing forms a stable tradition, It is not easy to change.
After all, in the future of the dynasty, there is a high probability that the emperor will not be as good as one generation after another, and he will be more and more constrained. Li Ye ascended the throne at the age of three, and sixteen pro-governments. By the age of fifty, then he may have been in power for forty or fifty years, or even more than thirty years, and he may form a strong emperor's authority and break through some constraints.
But he died when he was only in his thirties, which was better than his father's sudden death within a year of his succession, but it was far inferior to Cheng Qian who had only been emperor for fifteen years, let alone the holy ancestor and the great ancestor.
Qin Lang knew a little about the new emperor who had just succeeded to the throne. This great-grandson-in-law was praised by the government and the public as a benevolent, filial, gentle and respectful person. Wide and breakable.
Although these are words of praise, as an emperor who grew up in the deep palace, he has no experience outside. Although he was taught by a famous Confucian minister, he only learned things on paper. Compared with Li Shimin Such a young man raised troops, fought south and north, and even experienced complicated power struggles, and finally became the emperor who seized the throne, or Li Yuan did this as a relative of the Sui Dynasty, a core family of Guanlong nobles, and lost his father when he was young, and was suppressed when he was young , the middle-aged was suspected by Yang Guang again, learned to keep a low profile, and finally was able to take the opportunity to rise up during the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, quickly broke into the empty Guanzhong, and finally robbed the old fox of his cousin, or the old fox who was caught by Li Shimin when he was a prince like Chengqian. All kinds of polishing, training, and the emperor who even went to the Longyou battlefield to lead troops to fight, the new emperor Li Hao has many congenital deficiencies.
Not to mention that there is a powerful military group in the court that controls the government, it is too difficult for Li Hao to really take power.
The future court situation is very likely to be ruled by the emperor, the prime minister, and the Xunqi group.
The emperor couldn't get rid of them, he didn't have the ability, nor the courage.
Even if he is a descendant of a sage, he lacks enough experience and is still a mortal after all. Even if Li Hao has a long life, lives to be sixty years old, and can be in power for thirty or forty years, he may not be able to change the current court structure.
After a powerful interest group is stabilized, it will be difficult to break their power monopoly. In the future, there is a high probability that it will continue to move forward. There will definitely be a game struggle between the imperial power and the honor group, but the emperor is difficult to suppress, let alone Said it was wiped out.
The secular feudal system implemented by Li Shimin back then, after several emperors, has completely gone out of shape by now.
The system of feudal feudalism has further fueled the power of the Hunqi group, and they are no longer under the control of the emperor.
But this is not all a bad thing, because the fundamental interests of these world-appointed aristocratic groups are tied to Datang.
In the present and in the future, they will live together with Datang, and they will prosper and suffer together, and everyone will gather together under the banner of Datang to fight together and be glorious together.
Even in all directions, they will stick to the borders for the Tang Dynasty, and even continue to open up and suppress those border barbarians. This is a balanced power structure formed after several dynasties and decades, and it cannot be easily broken.
And this stable power structure may not be a good thing for the emperor, but for Datang, it is the key to maintaining its strength and stability.
Everyone is enjoying the dividends brought about by Datang’s expansion of territory, business and trade.
This is true of the Qin family in Lu Song Dynasty, the Li family of Huang Tang Dynasty, and countless nobles and nobles, even scholars who came from the imperial examination.
At this stage, Datang will not involve.
The powerful military aristocratic group and the emerging imperial examination scholar group can check and balance each other, and the relatively weak imperial power can instead achieve a more balanced government.
Maybe after a hundred years, many hidden dangers will erupt, such as the border towns are strong, the forbidden army is corrupt, and when the time comes, there may be a frontier army rebellion, or a separatist regime, or it may be that the border relatives are running the fief Over the years, after the great increase in power, some ambitious people refused to accept the central government, directly rebelled, or proclaimed themselves emperor.
These are very likely things, but maybe in the next hundred years, there will be a powerful king or prime minister in the court to lead a new round of reforms, check for omissions and fill vacancies, and take precautions.
Or, when the time comes, it will really be the moment when the conflict is fierce, but if it really happens, it can only be said that it has reached the cycle again, and it is time to break and stand.
After all, the long-term division must be united, and the long-term division must be divided. Everything is a natural law of history. It is nothing more than breaking the power structure, reshuffling the cards, redistributing power, and forming a new power structure.
Perhaps by then, the Lu Song Qin family might be able to win the Central Plains and become the new co-lord of the world.
Or, at that time, the descendants of the Qin family will be incompetent. When they compete in the Central Plains, they will be defeated by other heroes, return to Luzon, or even be wiped out.
Qin Lang can no longer control those things.
What he can plan is the things before his death and the short thirty to fifty years after his death. As for the more distant one or two hundred years, who cares.
After Qin Rui, grandson and grandson left, Qin Lang sat drinking tea alone.
"What is Saburo thinking?"
Wei Chang, who was over a hundred years old, came with Song Jiang, who was over ninety years old.
"I'm thinking about this world. In the future, there may be a chaotic situation where feudal vassals and towns are separated, eunuchs monopolize power, and even border princes stand on their own." Qin Lang said.
He has officially retired more than ten years ago, and is no longer the leader of Jianghu, but Song Jiang who came to Luzon for retirement, and is now also a member of Qin Lang's advisory group.
Song Jiang had been in the Central Plains for a long time, and even though he had been in Luzon for more than ten years, he was always in awe of Qin Lang, and said somewhat restrainedly, "It's unlikely that the emperor and Tang Dynasty are at the height of their power now, isn't it?"
Qin Lang smiled, "It may be thirty or fifty years if it is fast, and seven or eighty years if it is slow, these situations will definitely appear one by one. Of course, even if these situations occur, all parties will hinder each other. It is not difficult to maintain a century-old world."
It was Wei Chang who smiled and said, "According to Sanlang's words, the Great Tang Dynasty will last for at most two hundred years?"
"Two or three hundred years." Qin Lang said flatly.
Wei Chang was not at all surprised by these rebellious words. This centenarian old man was born in the Western Wei Dynasty. He went through the Western Wei Dynasty, Northern Zhou Dynasty, Sui Dynasty, and Tang Dynasty. Yang Guang's Xiaoguo Military Academy Lieutenant, and then returned to Chang'an as a bad commander. Later, he followed Qin Lang and earned a fortune in the next life. Now there are many descendants and flourishing branches. The Wei family also has Chang'an, Luoyang, Yangzhou, Guangzhou, and Jiaozhou. , Luzon six.
With more than a hundred descendants, a wealth of wealth, a county duke on his head, a knight of Luzon, and a family elder, this life can be said to be very fulfilling.
"Two hundred years later, the Qin family in Lusong will replace Li Tang!" Wei Chang declared.
Qin Lang just said indifferently, "Two hundred years later, the Qin family in Lusong must be the overlord of Nanyang."
Song Jiang and Song Fugui feel that an old man is about to stop, unable to keep up with the rhythm. Even though he had been in charge of Jianghu in the Central Plains for more than 50 years, these words still scared him.
But in the end, I still bite the bullet and pat my chest to express my opinion, "I, Song Jiang and the Song family can be rich today, thanks to the gift of Qin Gong. No matter what happens to the Qin family in the future, the Song family will definitely advance and retreat together, go through fire and water, and will not hesitate."
"Don't be so cautious. Who cares about the future. Let's talk about the present. Qin Yao and Qin Rui are going to Luoyang, and then they will go to Xinyangzhou at the mouth of the Xindu River. They will stay for at least ten years. The two of you used to They are all engaged in intelligence, Lao Song is also engaged in logistics, you send some people to go to Beijing with them, and then go to New Yangzhou together."
"New Yangzhou is a good place. We should also increase investment in the future and make more arrangements there. You can arrange this."
Wei Chang immediately said, "My family still has some useless grandchildren, I'll let them all follow."
Song Jiang also said that he would send his children there.
"The potential of New Yangzhou is limitless. If you choose a few children to go there now, you won't lose money." Qin Lang said, "Forget about it, today I harvested some crops brought back from the New World, and I'm doing barbecue. Come and taste it, too!"
