Chai Zhewei knew why the Chai family stood among the honored ministers of Zhenguan. Even though he was fearful of the enemy and war, and lost soldiers and generals, he still had not shaken the foundation of the family business. The reason was that he had a mother who did not give up.

Princess Pingyang Zhao's achievements, even after her death, she still has shade to protect her descendants...

But no matter how big the lingering shadow is, it is not endless. With no achievements for many years and repeated big mistakes recently, the foundation of the family is already shaky. If there is no such insurance as Princess Baling, it is still unclear what the end will be today. unknown.

In this case, the atmosphere within the family becomes more and more important. It is necessary to create an image of family harmony and brotherhood.To the outside world, a once-prominent family that is a bit down and out, even though it is gradually weakening, can still maintain the principles of harmony and friendship, which will give people an excellent impression.

It is true that the ability is insufficient, and the power is indeed limited, but it has never fallen into the demeanor of aristocratic families. This kind of family is the most loved by rulers, and is also most respected and accepted by Confucianism who flaunt normative morality.

But once there is a scandal of brothers fighting against each other and sibling conflicts, and the consistent image collapses suddenly, then it will completely degenerate...

So there are some things that Chai Zhewei must clarify with Chai Lingwu in person to avoid disagreements afterwards.

……

Yuwen Shiji in a cloak stepped into the barracks, and the Chai brothers hurriedly stood up to greet him. Chai Zhewei took two steps forward and held Yuwen Shiji's hand, with a look of concern on his face: "How old is Duke Ying?" I have grown up, but now I have to work hard for the future of my children and the rise and fall of the family, it is really incompetent for us juniors, shame, shame!"

Yuwen Shiji was not too polite, and with the support of Chai Zhewei, he took the upper seat, patted the back of Chai Zhewei's hand, and said with emotion: "When the Guanlong lineage lives and dies, it is natural that men, women, old and young have their own responsibilities. In this way, we can find a way out in this chaotic world, continue the family, so that future generations will not fall into the dust. Not to mention just working hard, if this old bone is still useful, even if it is broken to pieces Take it personally!"

The Chai brothers were both shocked and ashamed, they repeatedly praised the Yuwen scholars and their youth and strength, their minds like the sea, they are indeed the jade pillars of the Guanlongmen Clan, and the golden beams that support the sea.

In fact, the family of the Chai family, which originated in Jinzhou, is a descendant of Guanlong whose roots are Zhengmiaohong. Chai Zhewei's great-grandfather, Chai Lie, served as a general of hussars and champion uncle in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and married the daughter of the Didao Li family in Longxi. Grandfather Chai Shen was the Duke of Julu County in the Sui Dynasty, and his father Chai Shao was accompanied by Prince Yuande of the Sui Dynasty when he was young, and married the daughter of Tang Guogong Li Yuan...

But although the Chai family has received countless honors from Princess Pingyang, the marriage between Chai Shao and Princess Pingyang is not considered happy, especially since Li Yuan raised troops in Jinyang, Princess Pingyang stayed in Chang'an to recruit troops to support the family, but Chai Shao fled to Jinyang privately It started when Princess Pingyang died at the age of 30, and there was no reason why her husband and wife lived in disharmony and died of depression. Therefore, although His Majesty Li Er still honored and favored the Chai family, estrangement inevitably grew, and Chai Shao spent a lot of time. Frightened and frightened, I dare not disobey the slightest bit, lest His Majesty Li Er will take the opportunity to cause trouble and poison him to go underground to accompany Princess Pingyang...

At that time, Guan Long was very powerful, and Changsun Wuji was so powerful that he almost rivaled the imperial power, which aroused the dissatisfaction and suspicion of His Majesty Li Er. Although the power struggle seemed invisible on the surface, it was actually in full swing. How could Chai Shao not perceive it?
In order to prevent His Majesty Li Er from using him as a chicken cub to scare monkeys, since the death of Princess Pingyang, Chai Shao closed his door for a long time to thank guests, and almost cut off contact with the rest of the Guanlongmen Clan, and all kinds of interests were completely settled. net.

When Chai Shao passed away, Guan Long's struggle with the imperial power was almost on the surface, and naturally he would not take the initiative to post to Guan Long...

The Chai family has long become a Guanlong family that is not a Guanlong clan.

So even if Chai Zhewei looked sincere and showed emotion at this moment, Yuwen Shiji would not think that the Chai family planned to fall back into Guan Long's embrace.

It's all just superficial effort, the intention hidden in the depths, or the interests...

The two brothers of the Chai family accompanied Yuwen Shiji to the seat. In order to avoid people's eyes and ears, Chai Lingwu boiled water and made tea himself.

After Yuwen Shiji drank a cup of tea, Chai Zhewei got straight to the point and asked: "Duke Ying came here at this time, I wonder if he has taught you something? Our Guanlong lineage is now withered, and you are always the only remaining leader. As ordered, I will never refuse."

Put yourself on the side of the Guanlong clan, get close emotionally, advance and attack, and retreat and defend.

Yuwen Shiji didn't seem to see Chai Zhewei's careful thinking, or maybe he didn't care about it. Seeing Chai Zhewei's directness, he didn't hide it, and said bluntly: "I don't know what Xian Kunzhong thinks about the current situation. What is the future of the family?"

Chai Lingwu glanced at his elder brother and remained silent.

Generally, he doesn't intervene in this kind of situation. First, this is the power of the elder brother as the eldest son. Second, although the elder brother does not have great ability, he has a lot of cleverness. Although sometimes he suffers big losses by playing tricks... …

Chai Zhewei pondered for a while, and said: "How dare we, my servants, talk about the dispute between Your Majesty and King Jin for the throne? On the left and right are the sons of Emperor Taizong. Whoever sits in the world is justified, and it is better to stand alone than to mix indiscriminately and cause death." Stay on the sidelines to maintain the stability of the country, and it will not be too late to welcome the holy driver when the truth comes to light."

This is a very clear attitude. It sounds like you don't want to help each other, but in fact you can help anyone.

After all, it depends on the price...

Yuwen Shiji understood and sighed: "Although this is the case, we Guanlongmen clan followed the late emperor to conquer the world. We have always been loyal to the late emperor and never disobeyed the emperor's orders. Although the late emperor did not depose the prince due to time constraints, but There is an edict passed down to the king of Jin, which is orthodox, and the subjects of the world should respect it. Now the crown prince has stolen the throne, persecuted his brothers, and the king of Jin had to flee to Beijing. Fortunately, loyal people gathered to help, according to Tongguan. Righteousness, we shall follow to the death!"

This is the correctness of pronouncing the king's seizure of the throne, so the name is correct, otherwise what the king of Jin did would be rebellion and rebellion. This is an indispensable step, so Chai Zhewei did not convene to speak, and remained silent.

Yuwen Shiji didn't expect Chai Zhewei to make a foolish and direct statement, so he continued: "Emperor Taizong not long after he came to the throne, he wanted to follow the old example of Emperor Gao of the Han Dynasty and share wealth and feudal world with his illustrious generals and clan, but he didn't. It can be done. The King of Jin is loyal and filial, and he has never forgotten this. If he ascends the throne as the emperor in the future, he will surely fulfill the long-cherished wish of Emperor Taizong. Your father is promoted to Qiao Guogong because of his meritorious service. The merits are in the country. Now you inherit the title and you can get the real title Let the land of Qiao be passed down from generation to generation, who in the world would dare to underestimate the Chai family?"

Chai Lingwu's heart trembled when he heard it, although he dared not speak, he kept winking at his elder brother, telling him that enough is enough, this is already an excellent condition, don't let it be broken...

There are two Qiao states. The earliest was Zhou Zhaogong Ji Shi, who shared the same name with Zhou Gongdan in the early Zhou Dynasty. He had a son, Sheng, who was named Qiao in the land of Shu. Sheng established Qiao State here and was named Qiaohou , and his descendants took the name of the country as their surname, called Qiao's.Chai Shao's Qiao Guogong was sealed here and enjoyed the local tax supply.

The other is at the end of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Wei Wu analyzed Peiguo and established Qiao County, where the government was located. In the third year of Wei Huangchu, Cao Lin was named King Qiao and led the three counties; Sima Xun, the son of Sima Jin, the younger brother Wei Zhonglang, was King Qiao; during the Daye period of the Sui Dynasty, it was renamed Qiao County.Xu Shao, another Duke of Qiao in the Tang Dynasty, was named here.

Qiao State has two, so Qiao State Duke also has two...

The land of Qiao State sealed by the Chai family is in the middle of Shu. It seems a bit remote, but in fact, since the end of the Sui Dynasty, the population of the Central Plains has dropped sharply since the end of the Sui Dynasty. People who avoid disasters, so they are extremely prosperous.

Even in the future, even if the imperial power changes and the wars are chaotic, it will be difficult to affect the land of Shu. To be able to get a fiefdom in Shu and pass it down from generation to generation, it is almost a dream to wake up with a smile, okay?
Under the scrutiny of his brothers and Yuwen Shiji, Chai Lingwu hesitated for a while, then sighed, and said with some shame: "The young hero of the family is praised by everyone at that time; Husband...but my brothers are limited in talent and extremely stupid, not to mention inheriting the past and opening up the future, and now they can't even keep the ancestral family business. Even if the land of Qiao Kingdom is sealed off, how many years can we last? Besides, although my brothers Brotherly love is deep, but who knows what the next generation will look like? The two of them are in the same land, and it is inevitable that they will quarrel with each other and fight for power and profit. He's a sinner of the family, how can he have the face to meet Yan Jiaci? Well, let's not talk about it."

Chai Lingwu was speechless, brother, you are too pushy, right?
One feudal country is not enough, so you plan to have two, right?

Yuwen Shiji almost laughed angrily. He stared at Chai Zhewei and saw the shameless expression on his face lamenting misfortune. His face is as wicked as when his father left Princess Pingyang in Guanzhong and ran back to Jinyang by himself...

Taking a deep breath, Yu Wenshi took a sip of tea to calm down, thought for a while, nodded and said: "My nephew is honest and honest, and he has indeed inherited the demeanor of his ancestors. He is able to look far ahead and love brothers and sisters. He is also a model for the children of Guanlong. The old man will tell His Highness King Jin about it, and with His Highness King Jin's tolerance, I think it will not disappoint my nephew."

Chai Zhewei had a bright smile on his face: "Then I would like to thank you, Duke Ying, and the younger generation will wait for the good news again."

Then you have to hurry up, anyway, I won't foolishly promise you anything without a promise...

Yuwen Shiji didn't even think about finalizing the matter today, left and right are just bargaining, there is still time.

So he didn't stay for too long, drank a pot of tea, chatted about some old things from that year, and then got up to leave.

The Chai brothers got up and sent him into the dark night, then returned to the barracks.

Chai Lingwu rubbed his hands excitedly, and called out in a low voice, "Will King Jin really agree to give our family another kingdom?"

At the beginning, Fang Jun was promoted to the Duke of Yue by Emperor Taizong because of his meritorious service, which made the Fang family a duke of two countries, glorious and arrogant, and many people envied and hated him.But now the Chai family is about to usher in the splendor of a duke of two kingdoms, and these are two feudal kingdoms, which are completely different from the symbolic dukes of the Fang family and his son!

The Chai family is about to rise completely!

In addition to the ecstasy, it is inevitable to worry about gains and losses: "Will His Royal Highness King Jin agree? After all, there are two feudal kingdoms!"

Chai Zhewei was very calm, full of confidence in his own strategy: "Don't say that two countries are sealed off, eight or ten are also willing to be willing, even if the whole country is sealed off, so what? Between victory and defeat, life and death are at stake. , even if it hurts, it has to be after winning the throne and sitting on the throne."
