After traveling through time, I was spotted by the new emperor
Chapter 59 I am ready to recommend myself
Qi Guangren asked Chen Shusheng, "Brother-in-law, what do you mean?"
"Prince Qi has a broad mind and a broad heart. His heart is with the world, with the four seas, and with the people, not just one family or clan.
I have a feeling that he will break the current monopoly of the aristocratic families.
Therefore, as long as someone is capable and truly willing to work with Prince Qi, Prince Qi will not mind his background and will definitely make use of him."
This sentence shocked everyone in the room!
If Ye Wuwei were here, he would definitely praise Chen Shusheng: "Are you the reincarnation of Mr. Zhuge? You can predict the future!"
General Qi hurriedly stopped Chen Shusheng: "Don't talk nonsense!"
Chen Shusheng said calmly, "If you don't believe me, just wait and see."
Hu Zhiwei asked, "If what you said is true, what do you think Prince Qi would do?"
“I couldn’t have guessed that.
But if Prince Qi needs me, I am willing to follow his lead and obey his orders."
After Chen Shusheng finished saying this, Qi Guangren hurriedly pulled him.
Chen Shusheng understood what Qi Guangren meant:
Most of the people present are from aristocratic families. Don't say anything that goes against the interests of the aristocratic families in front of them to avoid offending them.
But Chen Shusheng just wanted to say it.
The Chen family is also a noble family, but after Chen Shusheng traveled to many places and saw the sufferings of the people, he was very dissatisfied with the world.
He felt that the world shouldn't be like this!
A good world should not be one where a very small number of people wear light clothes and ride fat, and eat delicious food, while the vast majority of people can't even afford to eat, wear rags and have to sell their children.
He was sad and angry, but he was powerless to change!
If Prince Qi is willing to change all these injustices and make the Qi Dynasty prosperous and strong, and the people live in peace and happiness, he is willing to follow him for the rest of his life.
Even if he ends up being torn to pieces like some ancient reformer.
After Chen Shusheng finished speaking, the people present began to talk, and some even insulted Chen Shusheng.
He accused Chen Shusheng of having bad intentions and only wanted to create chaos in the world...
Seeing that the situation was not right, General Qi hurriedly said:
"Let's stop here for today. Everyone, go back first. We can discuss anything else next time."
Everyone left one after another, and only Chen Shusheng was kept behind by General Qi.
General Qi asked Chen Shusheng, "What did you mean by what you just said?"
"General, you are the head of the Qi family. I don't believe that you don't know what the current situation in the world is like."
"Of course I understand that. What I'm asking is what you meant by what you said just now?"
"Are you asking about Prince Qi's willingness to reform and my willingness to serve him?"
General Qi didn't say anything, but this was what he asked.
"General, I have been to many places over the years, and the people's lives are really hard.
The root cause of all this is that wealth is controlled by the aristocratic families."
"Don't forget, you are also a member of a noble family, and you also enjoy the wealth and glory that the noble family brings you."
“Yes, I am also one of those who stepped on the bodies of the people and sucked their blood, but this is wrong!
If this continues, the people will rebel and the Qi Dynasty will fall."
General Qi sneered:
"Don't make yourself sound so noble, as if you're the only one who cares about the world and we're all just a bunch of termites."
Qi Guangren was afraid that his brother-in-law would say something "horrifying" again, so he tried to reconcile:
"Father, that's not what my brother-in-law meant."
General Qi calmed down and looked at Chen Shusheng: "How can you be sure that Prince Qi will change the system after he takes power?"
“Since Prince Qi governed Andu into a city completely different from Chamdo, it shows that he disagreed with Chamdo’s governance model.
If he had the opportunity to change, what do you think he would do?"
General Qi fell silent.
Qi Guangren glanced at Chen Shusheng and tried to persuade General Qi:
"Father, I think what my brother-in-law said makes sense. If Prince Qi changes the system in the future, don't object. Just pretend you didn't hear anything."
General Qi looked at Qi Guangren and asked, "Do you also think that aristocratic families should not exist?"
Qi Guangren considered it for a moment and said tactfully:
“Before the Qi Dynasty, the imperial power and the aristocratic families jointly ruled. I think that with Prince Qi’s temperament, he would not allow the aristocratic families to dictate to him, nor would he allow the aristocratic families to endanger the imperial power.
Although the Qi family is a noble family, they are also members of the royal family. There is no need for us to oppose Prince Qi like the Zhuang and Yuwen families did.
In that case, King Qi would not take drastic measures against the Qi family.
Don’t forget the Embroidered Uniform Guard from two years ago.”
Qi Guangren's words touched General Qi, especially the last sentence which gave him a shock!
More than two years ago, the emperor sent half of the Embroidered Uniform Guard to the north, originally intending to frame Qi Wushuang for colluding with the Ati people, but the Embroidered Uniform Guard never returned.
However, the other half of the Embroidered Uniform Guard who stayed in Changdu City encountered troubles one after another, all of which were shameful scandals. The commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard was even blocked in the bed of Concubine Yuwen's cousin's wife.
Prime Minister Yuwen had no choice but to ask the emperor to disband the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and in the end, the Embroidered Uniform Guard was disbanded.
The Embroidered Uniform Guard is an organization that directly obeys the emperor's orders and is the emperor's sharp knife. If the Embroidered Uniform Guard were still there, perhaps the emperor would not have been assassinated this time.
Those people from the Embroidered Uniform Guard were not easy to deal with, but they were all dealt with by Qi Wushuang using various not-so-bright means.
Even if the Embroidered Uniform Guard's work was not done by Qi Wushuang himself, he has many capable people under him!
Thinking of this, General Qi became more alert:
"Forget it, I'm old now, and from now on the court will be ruled by you young people!
After I have taken care of the Emperor's funeral, I will resign from Prince Qi."
Chen Shusheng glanced at Qi Guangren. His brother-in-law was also a talented person who knew how to speak into people's hearts.
After leaving the meeting room, Qi Guangren asked Chen Shusheng, "Are you really planning to surrender to Prince Qi?"
Hearing Qi Guangren ask this, Chen Shusheng understood that he was also sure that Prince Qi would reform the system after ascending the throne.
"Yes, I plan to go to Prince Qi's mansion to recommend myself tomorrow."
Qi Guangren knew Chen Shusheng's temper. Once he made a decision, no one could change it.
Just like how he has insisted on not taking up an official position over the years because he disagrees with the emperor.
Qi Guangren was silent for a while and said:
"I have a special status and cannot do the same as you. But I will do my best to mediate for you if there is anything in the future."
"Your words are enough."
Chen Shusheng understood Qi Guangren's difficulties.
He is the son of General Qi and the next head of the Qi family. The Qi family represents not only the Qi family, but also many small and medium-sized families that are affiliated with the Qi family.
What Qi Wushuang will do next will be detrimental to all the aristocratic families. Qi Guangren really can't express his opposition to the aristocratic families so early.
……
**
Ye Wuwei didn't know that Qi Yuchang had already pointed his butcher knife at him, nor did he know that Qi Dynasty was about to produce a man with ambitions comparable to Shang Yang. He thought of taking advantage of his free time in the next few days to visit Ye Lingling and the others.
After getting up, Ye Wuwei went out to a breakfast shop not far away to have breakfast, and then went to the Amway store.
When he arrived near the Anli store, Ye Wuwei saw from afar seven or eight people gathered around the store.
Could something have happened?
