Chapter 260 Volume 3 Changsun Wuji’s sophistication
Next, Fang Xuanling and others discussed the marriage in detail.
In fact, this is just a process, after all, everyone has discussed it early in the morning.
What we just did was just a test or two.
With the previous temptation, everyone also had a preliminary understanding of the Ming Dynasty Royal Court.
After all, except for a few people present, everyone knew little about the Ming Dynasty.
However, a major matter like marriage cannot be settled in just a few words.
We have to talk for some time.
This is normal and is just a matter of process.
Whether it is a prince's wedding or a marriage between two countries, there are extremely complicated etiquette procedures.
This is inevitable.
These have little to do with Changle. When it comes time to talk about these details, the eldest grandson will naturally rush out.
The biggest role of Changle's trip was to show the importance of the Ming Dynasty, nothing more.
Of course, what Chang Le said before made everyone stunned for a moment. This was not something a child should say. The key point was that they really couldn't find a reason to refute it.
Because I don’t understand it, it’s hard to make a judgment.
In the afternoon, Changle and everyone left the palace.
As the eldest princess of the Ming Dynasty, she could not stay in the palace.
Honglu Temple has specially arranged accommodation, but after leaving the palace, Changle can still return to the palace, but when she returns to the palace again, she becomes the princess of the Tang Dynasty again.
This operation, well, even if Cheng Yaojin is not here, if he were here, he would be familiar with this operation!
This is what Li Chengqian did back then...
But today, Changle did not turn around and go back to the palace, because there were people from the Wu family waiting outside the palace, who had specially sent her a message.
Obviously, Li Yuan had already passed the news to the Wu family.
"Your Highness, what are Duke Ying and the Supreme Emperor going to do?" Changsun Chong was also a little confused.
Changle shook his head, how did she know about this?
There must be a plot, but she couldn't figure out how.
After all, she is just a child.
At this moment, Changsun Wuji and others also came out. When he saw Changle and others, Changsun Wuji first saluted and said, "I have met Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess."
Seeing this scene, Changle smiled and said: "Changle has met uncle."
The meaning of these words is to tell Changsun Wuji that at this moment, I am the princess of the Tang Dynasty.
Changsun Wuji was such a shrewd person. He understood this as soon as he heard this. After chatting with Changle for a few words, he glared at Changsun Chong and shouted angrily: "You traitor, get over here quickly!
Just now in the court, you were a foreign minister, what are you now?"
Changsun Chong was helpless. Is his father really confused or pretending to be confused? But he had no choice but to walk to Changsun Wuji's side and bowed to salute.
When Changsun Wuji saw this, he said to Changle: "Your Highness is laughing, I will deal with this traitor first today..."
"Uncle, please." After Chang Le said, he looked at Changsun Chong again and said with a smile, "Cousin, don't make uncle angry, but if you don't understand something, you might as well ask uncle for advice."
Changsun Chong is also a good person. As soon as Changle finished speaking, he understood what he meant, but when he saw Changsun Wuji's destructive look, he had a headache. He couldn't really get beaten, right?
It would be really embarrassing to go home and get beaten.
After all, he is also the Minister of Rites now.
Soon, the two left, and a group of civil and military ministers also watched the excitement.
After returning home, Changsun Chong felt a little uneasy. No matter what position he held now, it was still not good enough compared with his father.
"Come to the study with me." Changsun Wuji said with a straight face.
The servants in the house don't know what's going on. Logically speaking, it should be a happy event for the young man to come back.
However, Changsun Wuji's performance made them dare not make mistakes.
Arriving at the study, Changsun Chong said with a bitter look on his face: "Aye, in the court..."
"Okay, okay." Before he could finish his words, Changsun Wuji waved his hand and said, "My father knows what you are thinking. Please tell me what the situation is like in the Ming Dynasty's court now."
Upon hearing what Changsun Wuji said, Changsun Chong breathed a sigh of relief, "Good guy, you scared me to death."
But when faced with Changsun Wuji's problem, Changsun Chong picked out some things that everyone knew and said some things.
"That's all?" Changsun Wuji asked doubtfully.
Changsun Chong nodded: "That's all I can say."
Changsun Wuji smiled when he heard this, and that was all he could say: "Yes, you have indeed grown up a lot. My father no longer asks you about the situation in the Ming Dynasty. You can tell me about the situation in the Ming Dynasty."
How far can you go?"
"It's hard to say." Changsun Chong said, "It depends on how far His Highness wants to go."
Changsun Wuji was not in a hurry to interrupt and began to think deeply.
In the court, he actually did it on purpose.
If Changsun Chong wants to go further in the Ming court, he must have a clear stand. Others will not help him give Changsun Chong this opportunity, so he can only bite the bullet by himself.
The effect was pretty good. When they returned to the Ming Dynasty, Changsun Chong's performance in the main hall would definitely reach Li Chengqian's ears. This position would no longer exist.
As for him being embarrassed in court and being fined, it doesn't matter.
How many people who play politics care about face?
Purpose is more important than anything else!
"For you, this is indeed an opportunity." Changsun Wuji said, "The future of the Ming Dynasty Royal Court is actually immeasurable. As long as you don't fall behind in this process and keep up, my Changsun family will
There is undoubtedly one more way.”
Changsun Chong was a little curious and said, "Aye also thinks highly of the Ming Dynasty?"
"Haha, you think the Ming Dynasty is too simple." Changsun Wuji said, "Why do you think the court always turns a blind eye to the affairs of the Ming Dynasty?"
"Isn't it because of Your Highness?" Changsun Chong asked doubtfully.
Changsun Wuji shook his head and said: "If it is Your Majesty, then of course there is no problem. But the civil and military forces of the entire dynasty are like this, don't you see something?
Despite the fierceness of those people in the Cui family, they actually didn't really exert any effort. Except for a little fussing about the market, if you look at other times, what did they do?
It is no exaggeration to say that these big families accounted for at least 20% of the entire Tang Dynasty's food. If they really wanted to do it, you can rest assured that not a single grain of food would leave the Tang Dynasty.
But what about the facts? Nowadays, a steady stream of food is entering the Ming Dynasty’s court every day. Do you know what this means?”
Changsun Chong still didn't understand and said: "What Aye means is that those noble families are also supporting the Ming Dynasty? It doesn't make sense. Why would they do this?"
"This is where they are smart." Changsun Wuji said, "It can be said that all the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty, except for a few individuals, all had this idea."
"Why?" Changsun Chong said, "It doesn't make sense."
Changsun Wuji smiled and said: "You are still too young...Who is the king of the Ming Dynasty? He is the prince of the Tang Dynasty!
Does that mean that all the achievements achieved by the Ming Dynasty’s imperial court were achieved by the Tang Dynasty?
Our Majesty is the emperor on horseback, he can fight, he is good at fighting and he dares to fight!
But the world has just reached peace, and besides those warriors, who wants to fight?
Especially those wealthy scholar families, what benefit would fighting have to them?
The merits are not as much as those of those warriors, and the sacrifices are not necessarily less than those of those warriors. Why do they fight?
In the end, it will only make the status of those warriors higher and higher, and what good will it do to them?"
"What does that have to do with the Ming Dynasty?" Changsun Chong still didn't understand.
"Why doesn't it matter?" Changsun Wuji said, "What if the Ming Dynasty had to fight the battle? What loss would it cause them? Nothing, nothing!
At best, some food was paid, but the food was not taken out for nothing.
In the end, when the prince returns to Chang'an, whose land belongs to the Ming Dynasty?
You, you are still too young and have not seen the deeper things here. Do you think that is all what I said? Think about it carefully, there are more interests at stake.
Whether they are civil servants or military generals, they all have their own demands.
How many of the civil and military officials in the dynasty are fools?"
Changsun Chong was stunned. He really had never thought about this.
Now when I hear my father say this, I always feel like I have been tricked. The entire Tang Dynasty is giving them the green light, and in their eyes, the Ming Dynasty Royal Court is just a bridgehead for the Tang Dynasty to the outside world.
