Chapter 1508: Ashamed of the eldest son

"I think you don't want to work in a casual position with your face. At such a young age, you have to face these dignitaries in Chang'an City, and your ideas will soon be polished."

After hearing Li Xiang's words, Changsun Ze knew that he would definitely be able to go to the battlefield in the Western Regions, but if this was the case, I'm afraid his eldest brother would be in danger. The Imperial City Si Yamen was specifically responsible for detecting intelligence, which was among the top three in the Tang Dynasty. Changsun Chong has been working here for two years in the yamen. If he is really allowed to go to the Western Regions, eldest brother...

"Your Highness, I would also like to ask, will there be any changes on Big Brother's side?"

Hearing Changsun Ze's words, Li Xiang knew that this guy had a conscience. In Nanzhao, that incident was clearly Changsun Chong's fault and had nothing to do with this guy. Later, he was causing mischief in Chang'an City. Changsun Wuji left Li Xiang's relationship and sent him to Nanzhao.

Unexpectedly, after a period of training, this boy showed that he was even more talented than his brother, so Li Xiang also began to train him. It was precisely because of this relationship that Li Shimin saw the potential of the two brothers and could not let him It is also the established policy of the Tang Dynasty that two brothers live together. No matter whose family you are from, if you two brothers have too much power together, you may break up the empire.

Just look at Brother Cheng Chumo and you will know that although they are both in the Western Regions, Li Chengyi and Xiao Shougui are not free, especially the most powerful artillery unit, which has always been controlled by Li Chengyi. In his hand, it was because this guy was a member of the royal family. Although Cheng Yaojin was trustworthy by Li Shimin, compared with Li Chengyi, Li Shimin obviously still believed in this member of the royal family.

Not letting one of Cheng Yaojin's sons come back was the greatest care for their family. If it hadn't been for the fact that Li Xiang's first wife was Cheng Luan, I'm afraid such a situation would not have happened, so the two brothers also It is very clear that you must not make a mistake. If you make a mistake, you may be transferred back at any time.

"I can't do anything about your elder brother. You also grew up in Chang'an City. There are many things that you may understand better than me. The court pays attention to a balance. Both of you brothers are in important positions, so it will hinder If it affects the development of others, not to mention that your father is still the chief minister, my grandfather will also have other considerations. These things are beyond our control now, and it is impossible to even say a word. "

What Li Xiang said was true, and Changsun Ze nodded helplessly. He felt a little aggrieved. They were obviously working for the imperial court, so why don't you believe us? We are the first cousin family of the entire Tang Dynasty, and we are truly tied to the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin also understands this truth. Changsun Wuji has been involved in all major events in the past. Li Shimin also believes in his brother-in-law very much. But then again, no matter how much he believes in his brother-in-law, in the final analysis, you They are still relatives, which is different from the real royal family.

Originally, although Changsun Ze was leading troops outside, he did not have much prestige in the army. The army was different from other places. If you had no military exploits, no matter who you came from, you would not be in the army. Even if you win people's hearts, it's impossible for anyone to truly sacrifice their lives for you.

But if you have both family background and ability, and at the same time have fatal military exploits, then some things are different. Take the current Changsun Ze as an example, he is the most powerful among the second generation. , just as Li Xiang said, if he fights again in New Moon and returns to the court, he will be able to be on an equal footing with Su Dingfang.

Changsun Ze felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't say much. He understood that this was all the arrangement of the court. If it were placed in Li Shimin's position, Changsun Chong might have been transferred away long ago. Changsun Ze also thought At the expense of his own future, he allowed his brother to continue in this position. At the same time, he also wrote to his family to communicate, but Changsun Wuji did not agree.

Changsun Wuji has his own considerations. Now that Changsun Wuji is older, although he is still the chief minister, it may not be possible in two years. Li Shimin is no longer paying close attention to matters in the court. Most of them Everything has been handed over to Li Chengqian, who also has his own team, and it is impossible for Changsun Wuji to continue to be in charge.

Therefore, Changsun Wuji also has to find some way out for the Changsun family. Now that you can retire properly, you must not be obsessed with power. If you are disgusted by the people above, then I am afraid you will not be able to escape intact. No, not even the emperor's brother-in-law.

Comparing his two sons, Changsun Chong has been back from the front line for a long time. If he is sent to the battlefield again to establish military exploits, he may not be able to come back for a long time. If something goes wrong, Then the good reputation accumulated before is gone, so it is better to become a civil servant directly.

As for Changsun Ze, this kid has made a name for himself on the battlefield. As long as he goes to the New Western Region and endures another battle, and makes some achievements in the war against the Arab Empire, he will have his own general after returning to the capital. The government is over.

The Changsun family can be regarded as both civilized and military. Although the civil servants are a little weaker, this is what the emperor wants to see. Coupled with the son born by Changsun Yunyi, the entire Changsun family can be said to have no regrets, so when the Changsun When Ze told this matter, Changsun Wuji refused without hesitation.

Letting Changsun Chong return to the battlefield now is equivalent to giving the reserve players a chance and letting the main force watch from below. How can this be done? As the head of a big family, he would never allow such a thing to happen. If he allowed such a thing to happen, it would represent his dereliction of duty.

So in this case, the only choice is to let Changsun Ze continue to the Western Regions, and still follow Li Xiang. No matter what they become, relying on his great kindness to Li Xiang, I believe that this guy Li Xiang can also Let Changsun Ze come back well.

Of course, the one who feels guilty is his eldest son. Although he was inconsistent in the early years, he has done very well in these years. Unfortunately, just when he was about to work hard, the imperial court's order also came down. The official of the Imperial City Si Yamen I paid it in advance and went to the West Camp to train new recruits... (End of this chapter)
