Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 181 The Strongest Line

Hearing this, Li Xian remembered something, blushed a little, and said.

"My father guarded the place back then, and when Emperor Taizong raised his troops, he followed him to calm the situation, so he was granted the title of Marquis of Fengcheng."

So, in fact, he surrendered to the general, no wonder Li Xian was a little embarrassed.

Zhu Qiyu understood.

The so-called three lines, in fact, a more appropriate name, should be the line of Yan Wangfu, the line of Jing Nan's generals, and the line of Beizheng heroes.

The lineage of Prince Yan's Mansion is the headquarters of Emperor Taizong, so it is naturally the most loyal and trusted, and the real death is not imminent.

The one represented by Li Xian's father, Li Bin, was a general who had helped Emperor Taizong or directly attached himself to Emperor Taizong after the start of the Jingnan Campaign.

These people also made meritorious service in the battle of Jingnan, but they are not in the same line as the Yan Palace.

After all, they came here as a surrender. As the lineage of Prince Yan's Mansion who followed Taizong from the beginning, it is normal to look down on them.

So this group of people gathered together as it should.

As for the final hero of the Northern Expedition, there should be some overlap with the first two, but most of them are rising stars.

If it was later, they might have to choose to belong to the same line as Ren Xuanxun's relatives.

But the Northern Expedition was led by Emperor Taizong himself, and the structure of the capital's honorary family at that time was not fully established.

Therefore, they also forcibly took part of their power from the lineage of King Yan's Mansion and General Jing Nan's lineage, and became the third lineage.

Regardless of Li Xian's little blushing, Zhu Qiyu asked.

"In this way, the lineage of the nobles in Beijing should be the strongest in the lineage of King Yan's Mansion, followed by the lineage of Jingnan, and the weakest lineage of the heroes of the Northern Expedition, but is that so?"

This is actually easy to understand.

The lineage of Prince Yan's Mansion is all old ministers, and they have a deep love for each other, so they must be very united. They are also the first batch to be bestowed, and they can divide a large plate.

So the power must be the strongest.

Jing Nan's lineage was next, and they were sealed at about the same time as Yan Wangfu's lineage.

But after all, they are surrendered generals, and they don't have a deep relationship with each other. Compared with the lineage of the Yan Palace, they are not so trusted by Emperor Taizong.

So in terms of power, it may be slightly second.

As for the last hero of the Northern Expedition, it was purely because he was awarded the title a little late, almost forcibly torn out of power from the mouths of the first two lines, naturally the weakest.

However, to Zhu Qiyu's surprise, Li Xian shook his head, smiled wryly, and said.

"Your Majesty, on the contrary, the most powerful force in the court today is the Beizheng lineage, followed by the Yanwangfu lineage, and finally the veterans, the Jingnan lineage."

Zhu Qiyu frowned and asked.

"Why is that?"

So Li Xian explained.

"During Taizong's time, as His Majesty said, the lineage of Prince Yan's Mansion was the strongest, followed by the lineage of Jingnan, and the weakest lineage of Beizheng."

"However, although the Beizheng lineage is weak, there are many brave generals among them, and most of them are in their prime of life. Therefore, since Renxuan, the Beizheng lineage has been reused and its power has suddenly become stronger."

"At the time of orthodoxy, the Beizheng lineage was extremely powerful, overwhelming the lineage of the Yan Palace, and became the talker among the honored relatives."

Zhu Qiyu nodded, indeed he took it for granted.

The reason why Beizheng's lineage is weak is because they were awarded late, but they also have an advantage, that is, they are young.

The Taizong era lasted more than 20 years, and the last time he was conferred a title was Anshun Bo Xuegui in the 20th year of Yongle.

When the lineage of King Yan's Mansion and Jing Nan's descendant lineage are already old, they are in their prime of life.

And the second-generation relatives in the capital are mostly pampered, and they are not particularly good at martial arts. They can only serve in the five-army governor's mansion, and few of them can lead troops into battle.

Therefore, the center of gravity that the imperial court relied on naturally shifted accordingly.

But the next moment, Li Xian spoke with a bit of pain (xing) regret (zai) unwilling (le) unwillingness (huo).

"Even so, the Northern Expedition lineage is also the lineage that suffered the most losses in this civil engineering battle."

"Because of being brave and good at fighting, most of the Northern Expedition line in Beijing went out with the army and died for the country in this civil engineering battle."

"Today's Beizheng lineage relies more on the support of the newly promoted relatives in these years, that is, the relatives after Renxuan."

Zhu Qiyu pondered for a moment and asked.

"So, in recent years, most of the newly conferred honors belong to the Beizheng lineage?"

Li Xian nodded and said.

"Over the past few years, the Yanwang Mansion has controlled the five armies' governor's mansion, and has a strong influence in the central capital, while the Northern Expedition lineage has fought everywhere. Most of the new entourages in the capital have obeyed orders under his tent, so most of them have been collected. Go north."

Zhu Qiyu glanced at Li Xian, and he suddenly understood why the old man had been timid and unwilling to participate too deeply in the government affairs.

Feelings are used to being suppressed, and I can't cheer up.

And strictly speaking, Li Xian wasn't alone, the entire line of Jing Nan's descendants didn't have much sense of existence among the honored relatives.

After all, in terms of seniority and trustworthiness, it is not as good as the lineage of Prince Yan's Mansion.

In terms of bravery and military exploits, they can't compete with the Beizheng lineage.

One of them controls the five-army governor's mansion, and the other fights everywhere to expand his power.

This group of generals who are difficult to surrender, can't just hide in the capital and live their lives honestly holding the hereditary coupons.

However, just as Zhu Qiyu was thinking, he frowned suddenly and asked.

"You just said that in recent years, the Beizheng lineage has been the most powerful, but why has the British Duke Zhang Fu been the one talking about the lineage of the relatives?"

Li Xian smiled wryly and said.

"This is also the cleverness of the Beizheng lineage. Your Majesty doesn't know. Among the honorable relatives, there are two people with extremely special status. They are both old ministers of the Yan Palace and Beizheng meritorious officials. One of them is It is the British Duke Zhang Fu."

Zhu Qiyu frowned, thought about Zhang Fu's experience, and then understood.

Zhang Fu is the son of Rong Guogong Zhang Yu, a serious former official of the Yan Palace.

In the original Yanwang Mansion, Zhang Yu was good at planning and Zhu Neng was good at fighting. The two were trusted by Emperor Taizong as his right and left arms, and they were deeply trusted.

Zhang Fu grew up in the Yan Palace since he was a child, and he is very familiar with the relatives of this lineage.

But at the same time, Zhang Fu himself is an extremely competitive person.

His title of title was not inherited from Zhang Yu, but was awarded by his military exploits in the Southern Conquest of Jiaozhi.

The so-called Beizheng lineage is just a general term, and it refers to the relatives who were enshrined in other battles in the Taizong Dynasty except Jingnan, which naturally includes the Jiaozhi lineage.

This led to Zhang Fu's extremely special status.

He was born in Prince Yan's mansion, but he followed Emperor Taizong in the southern and northern expeditions, and he participated in several northern expeditions.

Therefore, he is in the same vein as the Beizheng hero, and has a deep friendship.

As a result, with the tacit consent of both parties, he finally became the speaker of the honor.

After thinking about this, Zhu Qiyu thought of another person who had a very similar experience to Zhang Fu.

"Then Li Qing said that the special person other than Duke Ying is..."

"Ningyang Marquis Chen Mao!"
