Chapter 1394 Cheng Chumo(1/2)

evening.

Cheng Chumo brought his brothers and nephews to the house, and made the public reason that two families who are good at family members had a meal together.

"I don't know that guy is so bold. I apologize to you, Saburo, I really don't know his purpose at all in advance."

In the study, Cheng Chumo took the initiative to apologize to Qin Lang.

"Is the polo game exciting today? Did you play two shots?"

Large tracts of pine wood in the fireplace were burning, and orange flames were rising.

Qin Lang held a glass of wine in his hand and changed the topic with a smile.

Cheng Chumo seemed a little restless and wanted to speak but stopped.

"You don't want to persuade me to usurp the throne, do you?"

Cheng Chu said nothing.

"I really think so?"

Cheng Chumo took a big sip of wine and said, "Actually, I have indeed thought about this. When the Supreme Emperor was in power, he was indeed absurd and full of tyrant spirit. To be honest, I was thinking more than once at that time, could we just watch him mess around with the world like this, and watch him sanction our country's fathers bit by bit?"

"I thought of resisting."

"So later Dalang came to me and said he wanted to enter the palace, and I agreed without hesitation."

There were only two people in the study, and there were attendants from Luzon outside the door guarding them.

Qin Lang thought of the Supreme Emperor who looked a bit pitiful in a wheelchair. Li Yin did disappoint many people and accumulated a lot of resentment.

"He has now abdicated as the Supreme Emperor. Sitting in a wheelchair in Shangyang Palace, he can live for another three or five years at most." Qin Lang said.

"Sanlang really has no intention..."

Qin Lang smiled, "Isn't this situation very good now? Everyone is happy. The foolish monarch abdicated, and the virtuous young emperor reigned. He killed the powerful eunuchs and traitors, and drove away the treacherous villains. Everything is renewed, and the Tang Dynasty has restored a peaceful scene."

"No one wants a civil war, let alone a war, right?"

When Cheng Chumo heard this, he nodded with some complexity. When the Supreme Emperor was in power, he acted without any scruples and recklessly. Ministers and ministers like Cheng Chumo also accumulated a lot of dissatisfaction.

If Qin Lang raised his troops to rebel at that time, he might really be able to respond.

But now that person has abdicated as the Supreme Emperor.

Everything is back on track.

Cheng Chumo was also the Prince of Dong'a, who was granted the title of the new emperor, and was the Privy Councilor. How could he lose money when the emperor treats him like this?

Qin Lang looked at his expression and understood it completely.

Rebellion also requires timing, and the usurpation of the throne must have a broad environment.

It is even more important to be indifferent to the people.

What's more, Qin Lang really doesn't want to rebel. If Li Yin blindly acted against Luzon and insisted on forcing him to attack, Qin Lang would have to be forced to take action, but he would try his best to counterattack him, and even force the emperor to compromise through other strategies. He would not want to start a war unless he had to.

Nowadays, there is no reason to usurp the throne.

The emperor was his nephew and son-in-law, and the newly enthroned prince was his grandson. The political structure of the Longshuo Dynasty was shaped by Qin Lang, which was a very beneficial beginning for the Qin family.

Some of the words Cui Yixuan said are indeed reasonable, but they are not completely correct.

As long as Qin Lang is not like Huo Guang, he must control the government until he dies, and even force the emperor to force him to force him. For example, if he does not make his daughter the queen, he will not let Queen Xu's father be granted a marquis, and even in the end he will directly poison Empress Xu to death, and then force the emperor to make his daughter the queen. This practice, let alone the emperor cannot bear it, even ordinary men cannot bear it.

As for Changsun Wuji's death, it is actually inseparable from the word "power". Changsun refused to delegate power. What Li Yin wanted was the power of the emperor's dictatorship, rather than Changsun Wuji's gang of veterans, but instead overpowered the prime minister's power to the emperor's power and rejected the emperor's authority at all times. Can Li Yin tolerate it?

Furthermore, it was indeed very smooth for Qin Jun to support Li Xian, but the most important factors were: first, he was to support the prince, or to support the oldest prince without the prince.

Second, Emperor Li Yin was critically ill at that time and was even completely paralyzed. Except for his eyes that could move, he could neither say nor write, and the eunuchs were doing things, which was actually a rebellion.

It was in these circumstances that Qin Jun and Cheng Chumo and other ministers made such smooth progress. This was not the rebellion of the Qin family, but the legal inheritance of the imperial power in the face of a critical situation.

The Xuanwu Gate Palace Change was also very short, and the Xuanwu Gate Palace Change planned by the Su family failed. The biggest reason for their failure was that their behavior was essentially a rebellion, because they were against the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

So when the emperor stood at Xuanwu Gate, the generals who had committed edicts and deceived the soldiers almost immediately turned against each other.

The emperor is still there, who dares to rebel?

After all, the Tang Dynasty was established for only a few decades. At this time, the Kaiyuan period of Zhenguan was prosperous for more than 30 years. The Tang Dynasty's prestige was at its peak and was deeply loved by the people. Even if the emperor was doing things a little randomly, it was mostly those who were unhappy in the court who were the elders and ministers in the court. The real people at the bottom were not much affected.

Since the Kaiyuan Dynasty, the emperor has given high rewards to the army and soldiers, and they have very much supported the emperor.

Qin Jun and the others succeeded, and they were pursuing the banner of entering the palace to quell the rebellion, saying that the eunuch in the palace conspired with Wei Xiao and others to murder the emperor, so that it was so smooth.

The success of the palace transformation actually shows that the authority of the Tang Dynasty is still there, rather than saying that the Qin family is really invincible.

Cheng Chumo Niu Jianwu, Qu Tuquan, Yuchi Baolin and other honorary generals fought side by side with Qin Jun, but they were more united under the banner of "Salvation of the King and Resistance Against the King".

Qin Lang will not expand, and will not mistakenly think that the Qin family can already replace the Emperor and Tang Li family.

Just like the failed palace revolution of the Su family, there were many nobles involved in the imperial family, and even several royal families, but they were defeated so quickly.

Just like the hesitant expression that Cheng Chumo did not hide from Qin Lang at the moment, he might have really considered the anti-spoiled monarch Li Yin before, because the emperor acted too much and even influenced the interests of the Cheng family.

In the case of endangering oneself, it is certainly possible to reverse it.

But now it's different.

Now, the court and the emperor have not only not endangered the interests of the Cheng family, but even the new emperor has given the Cheng family greater power and interests. Therefore, Cheng Chumo has become a royalist party.

This is a very normal situation.

All Cheng Chumo, who has the closest relationship with Qin Lang, has this attitude. It is conceivable that if Qin Lang really plans to go further and learn from Yang Jian to usurp the throne and plan for the dynasty, I am afraid the consequences will be very serious.

The Li family in Tiantang still represents the interests of most nobles and nobles in the world, and even has extremely high prestige and people's hearts among the people.

So how did the Qin family compete with the royal family?

Yuwen Hu was still the guardian of the Yuwen family back then, but the major generals and generals of the Northern Zhou Dynasty still opposed him to usurp the throne and become the emperor, because the more domineering and powerful Yuwen Hu was not in everyone's interests. Instead, the son of a young and unprestigious Yuwen Tai could become the emperor, which would make everyone more at ease and his own interests more stable and safe.

Then why did Yang Jian successfully usurp the throne of the Yuwen family in the end?

First, after the Yuwen family killed the powerful minister Yuwen Hu, they were extremely cautious about the royal family, so it was difficult for the Yuwen family to have a truly powerful and prestigious royal family.

Secondly, after Yuwen Yong's death, his son was useless and he had been struggling for many years, which had already made the people dissatisfied. The Yuwen family lost the people's hearts, and even made the Guanlong nobles unanimously dissatisfied.

Furthermore, Yang Jian himself was the son of the twelve generals Yang Zhong, and married the daughter of Dugu Xin, one of the eight pillar countries. Then the Yang family had a very good relationship with the Li Hu family of the eight pillar countries through marriage. Yang Jian was the father of the Queen Mother Yang and the grandfather of the little emperor.

In addition to the support of some gentry tyrants such as Zheng Yi of the Zheng family in Xingyang at that time, as well as Gao Bing, the old retainer of his father-in-law Dugu Xin, allowed Yang Jian to become the prime minister step by step and be able to monopolize the government.

Therefore, the people of the Yuwen family were not in love, the emperor was young, and the royal family was powerless. However, the Guanlong Group, the core of the ruling class of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, had a good relationship with Yang Jian. Yang Jian even won over the five surnames and seven families of Guandong. After Yang Jian guaranteed sufficient interests to the Guanlong nobles, everything was natural for usurping Zhou and establishing Sui Dynasty.

Although there were still important officials and generals in Hebei, Shuzhong and other places in the end, they could not change this general trend.

Later generations said that Yang Jian's country was the most relaxed, but that was the right time, place and people, and various favorable conditions were brought together.

If there are no conditions, it would be too difficult for you to go against the will of heaven.

A hero like Liu Bei is difficult to achieve hegemony, and a ruthless person like Cao Cao is still one step away.

Time and momentum, it is impossible to be different.

If it was the chaotic era of the end of the Sui Dynasty, if Qin Lang had such power and such an interest alliance, he would of course take that step without hesitation.

But the current situation is completely the opposite.

The Tang Dynasty was at its peak.

The new emperor is also known as virtuous.

Qin Langzhen insisted on rebelling, how many people could support him and follow him?

For personal ambition, bet on everything regardless of everything, that is, gambling, or betting hard even though you know you will lose, that is stupid.

There are many powerful officials in history, but more people fail to rebellion.

All of them misjudged the situation.

"Chumo, my grandfather and I were on duty for the palace gate for the Saint Ancestor. The saint Ancestor praised us as the gods of the Tang Dynasty. My grandfather has now become the parallel Wushu in the Wu Temple. The national sacrificial rituals regard him as the Emperor of Qin. What else do you think I am not satisfied with? Do you have to be that traitor?"

Cheng Chumo's face turned red.

He could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Sanlang is really loyal to the emperor and patriotism, and this is a blessing for the country."

He thought for a while, "I am an old man Cui Yixuan, it's a good thing that my mother trusts him so much. He actually wants to harm Sanlang and my Cheng family! It's so damn, I'll kill him."

"Forget it, after all, is he your uncle?"

"But my mother is just a branch of the southern ancestral house of the Cui family in Qinghe. Besides, Miss Cui is not my biological mother. I can do it because of the righteous dear." Cheng Chumo showed murderous aura on his face.

"Forget it, Cui Yixuan is over seventy after all."

"They can't be so cheap, they must be punished."

Qin Lang thought for a while, "Cui Yixuan is over 70 years old, so he will be expelled from the people and exiled to Luzon. Just leave it to the Qin family for the care of his three sons who are governors. As for his three sons who are capable, it is a pity that they simply exiled to Luzon even the Qilin grandchildren of his Cui family."

"As for the rest of the Cui family, there is no need to be involved."

"Isn't it too cheap? If you don't kill a good person to warn you, I'm afraid there will be many thieves who will do it." Cheng Chumo said.

"Then confiscate all the property of Cui Yixuan and his son, and add one more, Luzon will be passed away forever, and will never return if you are pardoned!"
