Chapter 612 The reason
"You guys chat first, I'll go to Zhang Luo for lunch." Cui smiled at Lin Xuan.
"Then I'm sorry for Auntie Cheng. The last time I tasted Auntie Cheng's handicraft, I couldn't forget it all the time, so I was too embarrassed to come." Lin Xuan said with a smile.
"You child, you can really talk."
Everyone likes to hear good words. Although Mrs. Cui knew that what Lin Xuan said was kind words, it was very pleasant to hear. Mrs. Cui left happily.
"sit down."
After Cheng Yaojin called Lin Xuan to sit down, he asked someone to bring tea, and sent all the servants away, before he said: "The old man invited you here today, do you know why?"
"Uncle Cheng is supposed to be doing brother Mo's business?" Lin Xuan said.
Cheng Yaojin shook his head and said: "He is the old man's cub. I know how capable he is. As the saying goes, if virtue is not worthy, there will be disasters. Anyway, with the title of the old man, I can't starve him."
Lin Xuan was taken aback, he thought Cheng Yaojin wanted him to take care of Cheng Chumo, but Cheng Yaojin had no such plan at all.
However, Lin Xuan still admires Cheng Yaojin's vision.
If Cheng Chumo didn't have Cheng Yaojin as his father, it would be good if he could be a general at most. To be honest, he is indeed a bit of a father and son.
Cheng Chumokong had Cheng Yaojin's hot temper, but he didn't inherit Cheng Yaojin's wisdom.
Historically, Cheng Chumo did not do much to inherit the title.
And because Cheng Chuliang is the son-in-law, he is doing well.
But Cheng Yaojin's most capable son is the youngest Cheng Chubi.
Cheng Chubi was the third child, he did not have the title of title, and the princess was not married, but in the end he was named Duke of the county.
The title of title is the easiest to obtain when the country is founded. After the world is stable, the emperor will limit the number of titles. Cheng Chubi's ability to become a county prince shows his ability.
But in the eyes of their parents, their children are the best. Lin Xuan never expected Cheng Yaojin to be so rational.
"Then Uncle Cheng called me here, do you have any orders?" Lin Xuan asked.
"The old man came to you to cherish that kid." Cheng Yaojin said.
Lin Xuan was stunned for a moment, he didn't understand that Cheng Yaojin was looking for him because of Qin Huaidao.
But Lin Xuan didn't rush to ask, and quietly waited for Cheng Yaojin's next words.
"Huai Dao can make meritorious deeds, but the contribution should not be too great. This is not a good thing for him, understand?" Cheng Yaojin looked at Lin Xuan with burning eyes and said.
Lin Xuan pondered. If he didn't know the relationship between Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin's words could be regarded as Qin Huaidao who wanted to suppress him.
But with the relationship between Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong, it is impossible to suppress Qin Huaidao.
Then the problem lies with Li Shimin.
Qin Qiong did not participate in the Xuanwu Gate Change. After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he became ill again. Apart from going to court occasionally and bearing the name of a general, he had no real power at all.
After the historical Qin Qiong died, Qin Huaidao did not inherit the title of Duke Yi, which shows that Li Shimin had resentment towards Qin Qiong.
If Qin Huaidao really made great contributions and gained a firm foothold in the army, coupled with Qin Qiong's prestige, if Li Shimin refuses to let him take the title at that time, there must be some people who are dissatisfied.
And Li Shimin definitely didn't want Qin Huaidao to attack him, and he might use some means at that time.
Many people may think that Li Shimin, as an emperor through the ages and one of the few emperors in history who did not attack the founding heroes, how could he be so stingy.
However, according to some things recorded in the history books, Li Shimin is indeed a narrow-minded person.
Not to mention that Qin Huaidao was not allowed to inherit the title. After Wei Zheng's death, Li Shimin had Wei Zheng's tombstone pushed down, and also canceled the marriage between Wei Zheng's son and the princess.
The reason is that Hou Junji rebelled, and Wei Zheng once recommended Hou Junji.
This reason is a bit ridiculous. Wei Zheng was originally Li Jiancheng's man, and he surrendered after Li Jiancheng's death.
As for Hou Junji, when Li Shimin was still the King of Qin, he had already taken refuge in him.
After the Xuanwu Gate incident, Hou Junji became the duke of the state. Does Wei Zheng need to recommend him?
The so-called recommendation is nothing more than when Wei Zheng helped Hou Junji say a few words when there was a war and the leader was not determined.
In the Zhenguan Dynasty, Wei Zheng was not the only one who had problems with the recommended person, why was Wei Zheng the only one who was held accountable?Still dead many years later.
The fundamental reason is that when Wei Zheng was alive, he always hated Li Shimin, and Li Shimin had long hated him.
However, Wei Zheng is famous for his direct remonstrance, and Li Shimin also needs to speak out widely. Coupled with the constant persuasion of Empress Changsun, Wei Zheng can live to the end.
However, Wei Zheng is dead, so Li Shimin can't argue with a dead person.
But before Wei Zheng died, he copied the quotations of admonishing Li Shimin during his lifetime to the historian Chu Suiliang.
This touched Li Shimin's nerves.
It is not difficult to see from Li Shimin's wanton smearing of Li Jiancheng that Li Shimin is very concerned about the evaluation of future generations.
If all the things Wei Zheng remonstrated were recorded in the history books, it would undoubtedly have a great impact on his reputation.
After Li Shimin found out, he wished he could drag Wei Zheng out and flog the corpse, but because of this, how would others think of him if he pursued a dead person?
Soon after Wei Zheng's death, Li Chengqian rebelled.
And Wei Zheng once recommended Hou Junji and Du Zhenglun to Li Shimin, which gave Li Shimin an excuse to get angry, directly pushed to Wei Zheng's tombstone, and canceled the marriage between Wei Zheng's son and the princess.
Based on all these, Li Shimin is actually very vengeful.
Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong also understood this, so Cheng Yaojin told Lin Xuan about it.
If Qin Huaidao had not inherited the title of Lord Yi, Li Shimin's anger would naturally disappear, and he would not do anything to Qin Huaidao.
If Li Shimin had no choice but to let Qin Huaidao take over the title, he would not be able to vent his anger, so naturally he would always be thinking about it.
And being remembered by an emperor is not a good thing.
These are just Lin Xuan's guesses, but they are not without basis.
Most of the sons-in-law of the civil servants and generals who founded the country were promoted to son-in-law. It is said that the children of Li Jing and Qin Qiong should also be promoted to the princess due to the merits of Li Jing and Qin Qiong, but they were not.
Li Jing's credit is too great, Li Shimin needs to downplay Li Jing's influence, so naturally he will no longer honor the princess.
And Qin Qiong was hated by Li Shimin.
In fact, there is another way to solve this problem, and that is to ask Qin Huaidao not to join the army.
But obviously, this is impossible.
Qin Qiong was hated for not standing firmly on Li Shimin's side at the beginning. Now that he does not allow his son to serve the court, will Li Shimin feel that the Qin family is dissatisfied with him, or has a different heart?
Many things are very complicated, and all aspects must be considered.
Lin Xuan was also very puzzled before. Through his contact, Qin Huaidao was familiar with military books and very calm. As long as such a person has been tempered, it is impossible for such a person to have such a low sense of existence in history. The original problem lies here.
Thinking of Qin Huaidao's desire to make contributions, Lin Xuan guessed that Qin Huaidao might not know this yet.
Perhaps doing so is cruel to Qin Huaidao, but it is the best choice.
"Uncle Cheng, I understand." Lin Xuan said solemnly.
This kind of thing is actually very easy to operate. He is the chief general, and he cannot be bypassed when reporting the credit. It is only necessary to write Qin Huaidao's name later when reporting.
