Chastity Layman

As soon as Qin Jun, the newly promoted Duke of Qi and governor of Songzhou, was looking up, he happened to see the former Duke of Qi, Qin Xun, who looked very lonely and exhausted, and five other uncles, who also participated in the court meeting today.

"uncle!"

Qin Jun rushed forward and crossed his hands to salute his uncles.

The fourth son, Qin Li, Qin Huaidao, smiled and patted Qin Jun on the shoulder, "Congratulations, boy, your grandfather's title is passed to you, and you will be considered a successor."

Huai Dao was tall and burly, with a full beard and a purple robe, but he couldn't wear it anymore. He started a family of Qianniu, and with the kindness of his father and brother, his official career has actually been quite smooth these years, especially when he accompanied his elder brother Qin Lang in Songzhou to defeat Tubo. Mianzhou Sishi joined the army, served in the army for many years, and later fought in Liaodong. He is now the official governor of Xiazhou.

Today the palace was seized by the emperor's decree, Licheng county magistrate and Shifeng Songzhou prefecture Jiaochuan county magistrate, but they also acted indifferent.

Compared with the old fifth Qin Xun who was crying and mourning like a concubine, he was much more free and easy.

The old Liu Shandao also smiled and said, "Without an official and no title, he is just a rich man with peace of mind. I heard that the third brother did a good job in Luzon. After sending Wu Niang and the others to Fangzhou to settle down, I will Then I went to Luzon by sea."

Shandao also started his career with military exploits. He defeated Tubo, conquered Western Turks, fought Liaodong and flattened Korea. , with the title of Duke of Guangning County on his head. Originally, he was granted the title of Duke of Guangning County, but he was granted the title of Duke of Guangning County because of his military exploits.

Can also be calm.

The fourth son, Huaidao, married the daughter of the great ancestor Changsha Princess and the son-in-law Feng Shaoshi, and the sixth son married the eldest daughter of Ying Guogong, the warrior Xun.

On the contrary, Qin Jun's seventh uncle actually married Yu Chigong's granddaughter, the daughter of the current Duke of E, Chi Baolin. It is said that Yuchi Baolin was playing with Qin Langcheng at the beginning, who knew that he married his daughter to Qin Lang's younger brother became Qin Lang's elder instead.

But Yuchi Baolin is not as good as Qin Lang, Cheng Chumo, or even Niu Jianhu. His father lost power in the Zhenguan Dynasty and kept practicing alchemy behind closed doors, but his life was still relatively long. However, he survived the Zhenguan Dynasty firmly, and continued to be strong in the Kaiyuan Dynasty for several years, until he died a few years ago, and lived a full seventy-four years old.

Yuchi Baolin has such a father, and he doesn't have much help in his official career, especially his father returned to Tang later, and he was very domineering and offended many people in his early years, so Yuchi Baolin's messing around is just a mess Shaoqing. When his father died, he inherited the dukedom of E State, and by marrying his daughter to Qin Qiong's son and Xu Jingzong's son, he established a relationship, and then he got the official positions of General Youwei and Wei Weiqing.

Lao Qi married Bao Lin's daughter. Although her father-in-law's official career is average, after all, her sister is a noble concubine, her brothers are either grand masters or governors, and her brother-in-law is Xu Jingzong's son, so she is also the governor of Mianzhou now, and she is also a purple robe. body.

The eighth and the ninth are also married to famous families, and now they are either fourth-rank generals or fifth-rank writers. In fact, the future is bright.

This time the emperor suddenly said that the concubine Qin and concubine Qin Shu in the palace were engaged in witchcraft, so he convicted the two sisters, and even the three princes and princesses they gave birth to were all deposed as common people, and exiled in Fangzhou, Shannan .

He also implicated his mother and brother.

Compared with the open-mindedness of the fourth and sixth children, the two actually felt a little depressed.

The title of county duke and Shifeng county magistrate on him were also taken away.

If you lose your nationality and serve as a citizen, you will lose your official career in the future. Do you really want to move to Luzon?

"A dog-like thing, what are you happy about?"

The old fifth, Qin Xun, was extremely unhappy. Seeing the attitude of the brothers and nephews, he got angry and cursed directly.

He has been doted on by the Cui family since he was a child, and he feels that he is superior to others, and he usually treats his concubine brothers a bit superior. Now that he has just been confiscated and dismissed from office, he is even more angry. .

"Fifth, what are you talking about?" Fourth child said dissatisfiedly, "This is not a family, so you can't let yourself be prestige."

The fifth child gritted his teeth, his face was ugly.

"How did you talk to the Patriarch?"

"Hey, we have already separated and established our own family. You closed the door and came to be your patriarch. What are you playing with us? Back then when Grandpa died of illness in Songzhou, you two couldn't wait to get married. Separating the family means driving us out. It was the third brother who presided over justice and divided the family for us. We reserved some property for the four of us. We have lived our own lives these years without disturbing each other. Now you have lost your position and seized the title , feel unhappy, why are you throwing fire at us?"

The fourth child and the sixth child are about the same age as the fifth child. At the beginning, they were often angry with Cui and the fifth child in the mansion, but after Qin Qiong's death, they also separated for more than 20 years. At that time, they were still teenagers. It was not easy to separate the family and set up a new family right after the father died. Fortunately, the third brother helped to take care of him.

These years, with the help of their elder brothers and their own efforts, they were able to have this purple robe. In terms of ability, they are much better than Qin Xun who was born in the first place.

Qin Xun married the eldest grandson Wuji's concubine at the beginning, and he also took concubine daughters of five surnames and seven famous families as concubines. The eldest grandson Wuji was his father-in-law, Cui Dunli was his uncle, plus Qin Lang, Laiji and other elder brothers, who And such a good relationship as Qin Xun? But he just couldn't support him. He was given the position of Guanglu Qing more than ten years ago, and he was awarded the rank of third-rank doctor Yinqing Guanglu early, but after more than ten years, he is still a doctor Yinqing Guanglu. It's almost turned around, and I haven't made any achievements.

In this respect, it is not even as good as the three generations of the Qin family.

For example, Huai Dao Shan Dao and their sons, the older ones, have already won the Jinshi through the imperial examination, served as county magistrates, joined the army, or started their careers through the three guards of the door, and became school lieutenants or joined the army.

Although they couldn't compare with Qin Lang's sons, the few who performed well had already joined the army as county magistrates or prefectures.

There are several Jinshi.

As for Qin Xun's branch, I have no ability, just lie on the merit book of my father and brother, and my son has no ability, but enjoy the great resources, and have a bunch of children and grandchildren, without any future. Yes, there isn't a single Jinshi, not even a Juren, and they all rely on their family background to become an official, and no one has made any achievements.

Once the eldest grandson Wuji fell, Qin Xun didn't know how to work hard. Now that he has been completely stripped of his title, he blames his brother.

How can the fourth child get used to him.

The sixth child was more direct, raising his fist as big as a sand bowl, and the fifth child turned pale with fright, and quickly shut up.

Only then did he realize that these guys had indeed gone out to establish their own family long ago, and because of this, the seven sons handed down by Qin Qiong had long been divided into the seven sons. Qi Gongfang, but now the title of Qi Guogong has been transferred to Qin Jun, the eldest son of the third Qin Lang.

Qin Xun looked at Jun's nephew Qin Jun, his eyes were not friendly, and he didn't dare to speak harshly to the fourth and sixth children, so he relied on his elders to teach Qin Jun a lesson.

But Qin Jun just heheed twice, then ignored the uncle, and left with Qin Li and the others, leaving him standing there alone.

"A dog has no respect, but a mere bastard born of a prostitute dares to do so!"

But no one paid any attention to him.

At this time, a few thousand bulls came forward, their eyes were not friendly, but they were like a prisoner, asking him to go to the palace gate first to cancel all the procedures for entering and leaving the palace, such as the goldfish bag and goldfish amulet, and hand over the official seal and other related things .

Qin Xun felt greatly humiliated, but dared not make a sound.

far away.

The envoy Xuanfu of Guangnan Road, the governor of Zhennan Metropolitan Government, the governor of Jiaozhou, and the envoy of Jing Haijun, Cheng Chumo, were watching this scene. Next to him were the governor of Guangzhou Metropolitan Government, the governor of Guangzhou, Niu Jianwu, envoy of Zhenhai Navy, etc. .

"Why!"

Who would have thought that the prosperous Qin family would also suffer from this disaster, and what was even more unexpected was that the sons of King Zhongwu of Qi were so unbearable, but it was a pity for the sons of King Zhongwu.

"Da Lang is quite a talent."

Wei Weiqing, General Youwei, Chi Baolin, the Duke of E, stroked their beards, "Young and promising, there is a bit of Qin Sanlang in his body."

Niu Er, who was forced to change his name from Jianhu to Jianwu because of the current emperor's taboo, also nodded.

Thinking back to the Wude dynasty, they, the second generation of military exploits in Shandong, were actually somewhat inferior among the descendants of the honored relatives in Chang'an. Although the fathers also had Dukes of Guogong and County, others looked down on them at all.

At the beginning, the most proud descendants of Xun Qi in Chang'an were the prince, Qi Wang, Chai Shao, Li Shentong, Luo Yi, Pei Ji and other families, and the descendants of Yang Peiwei and Du's families, none of them were more proud than them.

Therefore, the children of military exploits who were born in a powerful family in Shandong were even more united. Among them, the children of Qin Chengniu's family, who also came from Wagang, had a closer relationship.

Times have changed, decades later, these people are almost old, and looking back, they have become the top nobles of the Tang Dynasty, Chai Lingwu, Fang Yiai, Du He, Zhao Jie and others have long been The bones are all shattered.

Needless to say, Qin Lang is now entrusted overseas, is a prince, and is a first-rank grand master. Cheng Chumo also relied on the merits of conquering the southern barbarians with Qin Lang and opening the sea, and was promoted to the town of Guangnan. The Southern Border Pillar Kingdom of the Tang Dynasty.

As for Niu Jianwu, he has led the navy for many years, conquered Liaodong and conquered North Korea, and made many meritorious deeds. Now he has become a town official and is based in Guangzhou.

"You said, this fire will not burn any longer?"

Yuchi Baolin asked.

Yuchi's family had already become a fringe family among the honored officials. He relied on his daughters to have many children and married with dignitaries in the court everywhere, so he improved a little, but if the Qin family was to be completely liquidated like the eldest grandson's family, then he Yuchi's family may also suffer disaster.

For the Yuchi family who had just improved, this was tantamount to a catastrophe.
