Chastity Layman

Luzon.

San Francisco.

The angel came from Luoyang, and Qin Lang set up a table and burned incense to welcome the imperial decree.

Baima Xuanxiang.

The emperor added Qin Lang and Zhongshu Ling, Zhishangshu, the affairs of the two provinces under the door, and the state affairs of the Pingzhang Army, and added real food seals to 5,000 households.

Jin named Qin Lang King of Qi.

The eldest son, Qin Yu, is the son of King Qi, the second son, Qin Lun, is the Duke of Lusong, and the eldest son, Qin Jun, is the Duke of Wei.

Eight hundred Yulin cavalry were sent south to guard Qin Lang with halberds and went north to rule.

"Congratulations to Grand Master, congratulations to Grand Master."

The angel who came to proclaim the decree was an eunuch, not low in rank, fifth rank, and only in his forties, but Qin Lang was not familiar with him. Seeing the eunuch's flattering tone, Qin Lang was not at all excited The color of joy.

Since leaving Luoyang, Qin Lang has never set foot in the Central Plains for more than ten years. Every time the emperor came to summon him to the court, he refused to go with various reasons.

The eldest son Qin Jun first went to Luoyang and served as a general in Yulin Zhonglang for three years. Later, the eldest son and the second son also went to the court to study, and now the second son is still studying in Luoyang Chongxian Hall.

The monarch and his ministers did not meet each other, but they lived in peace all the time.

Qin Lang has basically stayed in Luzon these years, occasionally returning to Taiping, Wu'an, and sometimes secretly going to Tangjin in the Wa country or Tangcheng in Linyi. The Luzon Islands used troops to conquer the natives. Busy with maritime trade, busy with establishing colonial strongholds one after another along the coast of trade routes.

It's not that Qin Lang is ignorant of these things that have happened in the court over the past few years. On the contrary, he knows very well that he has very detailed information channels and can almost always grasp the latest trends in the court at the first time, but he never asks.

Even though the abolition of Su and Liqin has been going on for ten years, Qin Lang has not participated in it. Every year, he gives a symbolic memorial to the emperor, admonishing the emperor not to abolish the empress.

Others are too lazy to participate.

He is more sober than an insider like Changsun Wuji, and he has already seen through Li Yin's intention to abolish Su Liqin. It is by no means a shocking love affair with Concubine Qin, it is purely political manipulation.

Now that Changsun Wuji's party has been purged, Qin Lang will not be happy about it.

He would not naively think that after his grandson Wuji was purged, his younger sister Concubine Qin Gui would really be made queen, and his nephew Li Xian would be made prince, that would be too naive.

After overthrowing Changsun Wuji, now the court is composed of the ministers of the political affairs hall with Xu Jingzong and others as their prime ministers, and the military generals headed by Li Jicheng Yaojin. Although they are two-way people, their relationship is actually very complicated. , all have a deep relationship with Qin Lang and his son, and they are all based on the Wagang family.

In the final analysis, they were all from the Shandong Department of Qin Wangfu, which can also be called the military upstart faction, and Changsun Wuji and the others belonged to the Guanlong faction.

Now the Guanlong faction has been overthrown by the military merit faction, and there are now two troops in the military merit faction.

Li Jicheng Yaojin and his group are of course pure military upstarts. People like Xu Jingzong, Cui Dunli and Li Yifu can be called the common landlord faction in the upstart faction. Referred to as military generals and civil servants.

Both sides have such a close relationship with the Qin family, can Li Yin be willing to make Qin Guifei the queen and Li Xian the prince?

In that case, the power behind the new queen and new prince would be too strong, so strong that even the emperor would be afraid, so Qin Lang clearly realized that the emperor's decree was not a good thing.

It's more like a reminder.

If he enters the capital, he will first become the blame man, and take the blame for Li Yin and the others to liquidate Changsun Wuji and the others.

When this pot is finished, maybe Li Yin will start to kill the donkey, and when the time comes, there will be some kind of rebellion case, and Qin Lang will be included in it, and Qin Lang will be taken away in one wave. The Qin family cleans up together.

Wu'an and Luzon will be taken back directly at that time, and Luzon can become a state governed by economics and control, and the land will be returned to the people.

This possibility is extremely high, anyway, based on Li Yin's urination, there are nine out of ten things.

King Qi, hum.

Even if he is a prince, Qin Lang doesn't care too much. What Qin Lang cares about is the control of Lu Song. Whether it is Lu Song's governor or Lu Song's county king, it is enough.

He is not the surname of the country, so he got the title of King Qi before his death. Does this mean that his life is too long?

"Angel, please sit down."

Qin Lang invited the envoy to sit down in the living room, and asked someone to bring coconuts and so on.

Qin Lang was very polite to this eunuch.

"I am grateful for the gift of the saint, but I cannot accept it..."

"To be honest, I can't enter the court to assist the government now. I have been unwell all these years, and now I stay on this island all year round, and I rarely even leave this city."

·······

Qin Lang asked the envoy to return to Luo with his memorial of Xie En's refusal, but he would not move no matter how much the envoy persuaded him.

Although the emissary brought eight hundred halberd-wielding men from the Yulin Army this time, Qin Lang's status is at that level, even if he refuses to be named King of Qi, Pingzhang Army State Affairs and Zhongshuling, and Zhishangshu, and the two ministers under his sect , but this is still Lusong County King, Wei Guogong, Grand Master, and Kaifu Yitong.

What's more, it is now spread all over the East that Qin Guifei will soon be established as the queen, Jin Wang Li Xian will be established as the prince, and the Qin family will go further, unparalleled in the world.

Qin Lang refused to lead the decree to enter the court, although the eunuch begged hard, there was no other way, he didn't dare to command the eight hundred halberd-wielding feathers to force Qin Lang back to Luoyang.

Even if he dared to order, Habayashiro would not listen.

Seeing the envoy helplessly lead the people away by boat, Wei Chang, Ah Huang and others stood beside Qin Lang, "You really don't want to enter the court?"

"Didn't you already refuse?"

Ah Huang said with a smile, "According to the usual practice, you must have three resignations to accept."

Qin Lang just shook his head.

"This is the king of Qi."

"It's just a false name!"

The envoy returned to the north, but the person did not return to Luo, so Jizuo sent it back first.

In Luoyang Palace, Li Yin saw the envoy's detailed report, and seemed to have expected Qin Lang's refusal to enter the court, and was not too surprised, nor dissatisfied.

On the same day, Li Yin summoned Qin Lun, the second son of Qin Lang in Luo, to meet him, and formally conferred the title of Duke of Lusong County, and gave him the post of General of Zuowei Zhonglang.

A son of a nobleman who was only in his teens was crowned king directly, which aroused the amazement of the whole court.

And the next morning at the court, Li Yin even announced that he would give Qin Lang the chancellor's decree and Zhongshu decree, as well as his subordinates, and then send envoys to Lu Song to welcome Qin Lang into the court.

Not surprisingly, the second envoy also responded soon, and Grand Master Qin Lang refused to enter the court on the grounds of illness and discomfort, and refused to accept even a gift.

Li Yin sent envoys to call Qin Lang in Lu Song for the third time.

This time, the Taishi Jiapingzhangjun State Affairs, Inspection and School Shangshuling, Zhizhongshu, and the affairs of the two provinces under his sect, and also Prince Zhan's affairs, were granted the title of King Qi.

But as always, Qin Lang still didn't accept it.

"It seems that Qin Lang really has no intention of returning to court."

Li Yin played chess with Li Yifu in the study, but he was a little absent-minded.

"Grand Master Qin has always been cautious and cautious. In the Zhenguan Dynasty, he retreated bravely several times. At the beginning of Kaiyuan, he also took the initiative to go back because of the merits of establishing a policy again. He stayed in Luzon for more than ten years. It is really unusual." Li Yifu still admires Qin Lang very much, not to mention the kindness of Qin Qiong and Qin Lang's father and son to support him at the beginning, but to say that the calmness and composure shown by Qin Lang is indeed something he cannot do.

"Since Qin Lang refuses to enter the court, then the case of Wuji should not be delayed any longer, let's settle it."

"I understand." Li Yifu hurriedly received the order.

The case has dragged on for more than half a year.

Originally, he wanted to wait for Qin Lang to enter the court, and Qin Lang would be responsible for closing the case, but now it seems that Qin Lang did not enter the court at all, and he had to bear the blame himself.

But being able to take the blame for the emperor is naturally a great achievement. He doesn't have so many scruples like Qin Lang. After all, Li Yi's mansion is shallow. Being a prime minister depends entirely on being able to figure out the holy will and being able to take the initiative to solve problems for the emperor.

Who does he not take the blame for?

Chu Suiliang was exiled in Lingnan, and died of illness in Aizhou before the court's final disposition. Before he died, he sent a letter of love to Li Yin, telling him that he had served Gaozu and Shengzu for a long time, and he also firmly supported the current emperor's successor. Wait, it's a pity that Li Yin glanced at the love letter and threw it aside.

He didn't even intend to let the dead Chu Suiliang go.

Li Yifu quickly worked with Xu Jingzong and others to formulate the final disposition of the parties involved in the Changsun Wuji rebellion case, deprive Chu Suiliang of all his official titles, and at the same time expel his brothers and grandchildren as citizens, exile him in Aizhou, and never return to the Central Plains.

His sons, Chu Yanfu and Chu Yanchong, had just been escorted out of Luoyang, when they were both killed by Yi Cheng at the post station on the way.

The censor went to Zhenzhou, where Han Yuan was demoted, to escort him back to Beijing, and ordered the local officials to confiscate his home. On the way, the censor received a new order to execute Han Yuan on the spot, but when he arrived in Zhenzhou, he found that Han Yuan had died of illness. In Zhenzhou, the censor ordered the coffin to be opened for an autopsy, and finally all the close relatives of the Han family were exiled to Lingnan.

Yu Zhining was also designated as the eldest grandson Wuji's party. Fortunately, he and the eldest grandson were not that close at ordinary times, but their positions were not clear at ordinary times, which was disliked by Li Yin, so he was previously demoted as the governor of Huazhou, and now he was demoted to Lingnan Ai State Sima.

Among the crowd, he was the one who ended up better, at least he saved the family.

Liu Shi was directly executed in Xiangzhou, where he was demoted, and all his close relatives were exiled to Lingnan, and his family property was confiscated.

Because Liu Shi was the brother-in-law of the emperor Xu Wang Li Zhi, Li Zhi was also implicated. Li Zhi and his son were executed on the spot, buried with the official ceremony, and the country was eliminated.

Li Yifu sent Yuan Gongyu, a member of Zhongshushe, to Qianzhou to force Changsun Wuji to hang himself to death.

After the death of Changsun Wuji, his son, Changsun Chong, and clan brother, Sun Quan, were originally the emperor's brother-in-law, but they were not considered for family affection, and were exiled to Lingnan. Flow Lingnan.

Even Gao's family was implicated. Gao Shilian's descendants were all expelled from their nationality and lived in the south of the Five Ridges, and all their property was confiscated.

Changsun Quan's nephew Zhao Manchi, a famous general in the peninsula war, was also implicated and executed.

The Changsun family, the Gao family, the Chu family, the Liu family, and the Han family, the emperor copied the five major families, and countless officials were implicated. Surprised, he asked Li Yifu, who reported it, if he had made a mistake.

After getting a definite answer, Li Yin narrowed his eyes, "The moth of the country!"

"Li Aiqing has worked hard!"

Li Yi's mansion was Jin Shizhong, the censor of the school, and the prince Zuo Shuzi, and became the Marquis of Guangping County.

Zhongshu ordered Xu Jingzong, Jinjue Xu Guogong, and added the prince and grand teacher.

Cui Dunli still shoots for the left servant, and adds the prince and Taifu.

Laiji shoots for the right servant, and adds the prince and Taibao.

Xin Mao will be the Minister of Zhongshu and the right concubine of the prince.

Ren Yaxiang was the Minister of the Ministry of War, and Lu Chengqing was the Minister of the Ministry of Households.

Cui Yixuan was the doctor of the censor, Hou Shanye was the minister of Dali Temple, Wang Dejian was the secretary of the Ministry of punishment, and Yuan Gongyu was promoted to the censor Zhongcheng.
