Chapter 1508: Shame on 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 the Nanzhao Kingdom, 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 a stronger talent 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 eldest 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.

Although Chang Sunze originally led troops outside, he did not have much prestige in the army. The army is different from other places. If you have no military exploits, no matter who you are from, you will 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 like what 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 house is over.

The Changsun family is a combination of civil and military. Although the civil officials are a little weaker, this is what the emperor wants to see. In addition, with the son born by Changsun Yunyi, the entire Changsun family can be said to have no regrets. So when Changsun Ze said this, Changsun Wuji refused without hesitation.

Now let Changsun Chong go back to the battlefield, which is equivalent to giving a chance to the reserve players and letting the main force watch from below. How can this work? As the head of a large family, you must never allow such a thing to happen. If you let such a thing happen, it means that you have failed in your duty.

So in this case, you can only let Changsun Ze continue to go to the Western Regions, and follow Li Xiang together. No matter what they become, based on my great kindness to Li Xiang, I believe that Li Xiang can also let Changsun Ze come back well.

Of course, the one who felt guilty was his eldest son. Although he was not very good in the early years, he had done a very good job in recent years. Unfortunately, just when he was ready to work hard, the imperial court issued an order, and the task of the Imperial City Office was handed in in advance, and he was temporarily sent to the West Camp to train new soldiers...
