After rebirth, I made the princes cry

Sikong Beichen thought so too, so he trusted Bai Chuanjun's judgment.

Xinyuehu's mother clan, the Jian clan of Wujun, even the eldest clan leader, Jian Bin's father, was only of the fourth rank of Zhongzheng. He was awarded the eighth rank of official position. He was not really an important person above the court. Without it, the Zhongzheng rating is very likely to fall below the fifth rank, and then there is no qualification for officialdom at all. In short, although the Jian family of Wu County is also considered a family and is a native family of Jiangdong, Xinyuehu and Sikong Beichen are not much different. , all have the "innate deficiency" of not having the mother clan to rely on.

In fact, middle-class families like Jian and Qiao cannot influence the imperial power and rule the world together with the Sikong royal family by themselves. These families can only hope to improve their power and family status by relying on powerful families, and have the ability to intervene. For the energy of political affairs, the family that Wujun Jian is attached to is Jiangdong Gu. However, such an attachment relationship cannot be very strong, and it is far from the closeness of both prosperity and loss.

And Jun's father's concern for Xinyuehu must also be based on one premise, that is, Xinyuehu must not have any ambition to seize the throne.

Therefore, Xinyuehu could not join the battle to seize the throne. His ambition could only be realized through Li Zuo Sikong Beichen's accession to the throne.

Compared with the previous life, Xinyuehu has now lost the arm of Shang Cailiang, and has no strength to seize the throne.

"He wanted to marry Yingshu as his concubine, but it was still for the purpose of self-preservation." Sikong Beichen felt that the idea was finally clear: "Even for him, going to Cailiang is far less powerful than the Linyi Wang family."

"Concubine Shu is indeed better than the Liang family, and the Duke of Linyi helps His Highness. Even if His Highness is wary of Lord Xinsu, the realization of the grand plan of monarchy cannot be achieved without the help of the Duke of Linyi, and His Highness You can't bear to let Concubine Shu fall into misery, right?" Mr. Bai Chuan lowered his eyelids.

"Jun Qing, please stop teasing me. I know that I was misled by my children's affair and did a lot of stupid things."

"But she is not too confused. At least her vision is not bad. Concubine Shu is not a beauty, and she does have the talents and virtues to be a mother to the world. But what are your highness's plans now? Mr. Xinsu is not Pei Yu. In the future, your highness will still Do you want to force Mr. Xinsu to reconcile? Even if Mr. Xinsu is willing to reconcile, it is indeed unethical to accept his younger brother's wife as a concubine."

"Does Mr. Baichuan think that Emperor Father will really allow Yingshu to be crowned Consort Xinsu?"

"If you are not a concubine of the heart, you are also a concubine of the ghost. In short, you cannot be Liangdi of the East Palace." Lord Baichuan said: "If your highness does not let go of your obsession with Wang Wuniang, it will even touch your majesty's heart. What your majesty is most concerned about is the relationship between the princes. Siblings are fighting each other. If the prince is the future master and already has in-laws from the Lu and Liang clans, and he is greedy for Wang Wuniang purely because of the personal relationship between his children, then in the future, he will definitely spoil his concubine and destroy his wife. Your Majesty will even be suspicious, because Because of Wang Wuniang, there has been a rift between His Highness and the Fourth and Fifth Highnesses. How can the imperial power be consolidated if they cannot work together?

Not to mention that with the change of the current situation, I am afraid that even the second and third princes will regard Wang Wuniang as a "wonder". Even I regret it now. If I had known this, I should not have been troublesome in the first place. "

"Even if Junqing doesn't intervene, she can't actually change the final consequences. Because Wang Pei is a reborn person, she will not enter the palace, and the scandal with Pei Yu will still be publicized." Sikong Beichen He said seriously: "Don't worry, Mr. Jun, I won't be confused again. In fact, I also understand in my heart that there are too many reborn people in the world. Yingshu... Now that she has entered the palace, I am afraid that I can no longer force many things."

"Then it is feasible for His Highness to intercede for the Queen now." Mr. Baichuan finally returned to the subject: "The situation in the Northern Han Dynasty has changed. Since the current King of Han intends to reconcile with our court, let's see what he does. , if Han and Yu can really reach an alliance, His Majesty will not go on a personal expedition, and there is even hope of regaining China. At that time, there will still be a chaos in the court, and the situation will change again."

Sikong Beichen frowned and said nothing.

"Has Your Highness never understood why there was such a quarrel?"

Sikong Beichen said quickly: "I really don't understand. I hope you can give me some advice."

Baichuan Jun thought for a while and then said: "In fact, many clans in the south of the Yangtze River were not convinced by Dayu's rule. Soochow was destroyed. Although the royal family named Jiang was completely defeated and the clans of Soochow no longer followed Jiang, but here They decided that they must have the final say on local and territorial boundaries.

When Wang Lan helped His Majesty move south to avoid disaster, the He, Zhang, Lu, and Gu clans even refused to visit His Majesty at his residence. Wang Lan initially wanted to marry Zhang from Jiangdong and asked for the marriage of his second son, Wang Dai, the legitimate daughter of the Zhang family. As a wife, she was humiliated by Zhang Xu in front of her and was called a "Jin Ren". "

"This...Linyi Wang family is a famous family..."

"This has nothing to do with family status. Originally during the Three Kingdoms period, the northerners first mocked the southerners as 'raccoon slaves'. Did your Highness think this was a verbal dispute between the common people? No, this was a dispute between the northern nobles and the southern nobles. It is called "篾人", so the southerners also call the northerners "缧人".

In addition, due to the great chaos in China at that time, the Sikong royal family killed each other, which also caused many southerners to suffer. For example, I, the Gu family, had a general who was summoned to Luoyang by King Qin, but was slandered and killed. Therefore, Lord Penglai later ridiculed Xiyu. The emperor's overestimation of his capabilities was not without reason.

In short, the powerful families in Jiangnan at that time actually did not trust the Sikong royal family, nor did they trust that His Majesty could be a powerful person to protect Jiangnan from war and chaos. Therefore, they naturally did not have a good look towards Linyi Duke, who was assisting His Majesty in trying to gain a foothold in Jiangnan. . "

Sikong Beichen was studying history, but he didn't know much about the things "nearly before his eyes". This is not surprising to him, because these things were not yet written into history books, and Sikong Tong did not talk about them, including Wang Lan. Things changed as time went by. , he rarely mentioned it.

"Later, my father still established a firm foundation in Jiangnan."

"This is all thanks to Duke Linyi." Baichuan Jun said: "I am a rebellious son of the Gu family. Although I know that your majesty is kind and virtuous, which is very different from other Sikong royal families at that time, I can't help your majesty in his difficult situation. No matter how much cold treatment and ridicule he received, Duke Linyi took it calmly. When there were several fights in Jiangnan, it was thanks to his advice that the disputes were settled, and he gradually gained the respect of the Jiangnan family.

Moreover, as the war in the north intensified, the south of the Yangtze River was expected to be affected as well. It was necessary to appoint a powerful person to ensure peace in this area. First, the two surnames Gu and Lu reached a consensus, and later the two surnames He and Zhang were also persuaded.

With the fall of Luoyang, the chaos in the north has become uncontrollable. If you don't support His Majesty's efforts to rebuild the country, and the Yi and Di invade, it will be a disaster. But as many northern families move south, the financial rights of the southerners will inevitably be damaged. Then For a period of time, the conflicts between the northerners and the southerners were also very intense, and the friction is still ongoing today.

The reason why the southerners are willing to tolerate it is because the capital of the country is still in Soochow, the southerners are the main ones, and the northerners are always the guests, and conquering China has always been the expectation of the northerners. They will never forget Luoyang, Chang'an, or Chang'an. Thousands of years of foundation and the vast land of China are what they dream about, but most southerners don't think so.

After the decline of the Soochow royal family, the political center was Luoyang. Although the south of the Yangtze River was rich, it was ridiculed as a land of southern barbarians. Therefore, how did the southerners accept that after conquering China, they were once again abandoned by the royal family and the northerners, and forever became the eyes of the northerners? A good-for-nothing 'raccoon slave'? That's why I said that if His Majesty is determined to make the Northern Expedition, there will be another quarrel in the court. Under such a situation, His Majesty must not put his children's personal relationship first. "
