Cui Chongyi smiled sadly and said to Jiang Yu: "What was it for me at the time, I was indifferent to seeing my aunt being humiliated, and I knew it in my heart. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Cui Chongyi sighed for a long time, and said: "The Cui family is the founder of the country, but since the first emperor held the military power, and with the identity of his relatives, he has always been good at government affairs, forming parties for personal gain, and cronyism. The Cui family has been arrogant and arrogant over the years, not to mention that the clansmen in the clan have acted recklessly, and even the subordinates of the Cui family have fattened up their courage and dared to forcibly seize and bully men to dominate the world. More than three years ago, the Cui family had a son who was in charge, and that person was good at Longyang, and robbed a child who was only thirteen or fourteen years old in the restaurant who served tea and water, and later played people to death in bed. The steward actually relied on the identity of the Cui family's servant to order Jingzhao Mansion Yin to suppress this matter, not only that, but also caused the death and injury of the family that the boy sued, and the family was ruined. And the Cui family still connived at this matter and did not restrain and discipline the clansmen and domestic slaves. I don't even know how many of these things the Cui family has done. The Cui family is unpopular outside, and the emperor is jealous inside, and sooner or later there will be a catastrophe of extinction. ”

Cui Chongyi paused, his eyes darkened, and continued: "But even if it is such a Cui family, not all of them are bad people. Most of the women and children in the clan have not done bad things, and they don't even agree with many of the Cui family's behaviors, but because they were born into the Cui family, they have to be implicated by the Cui family. For example, my eldest aunt, Duchess Ning Guo, she is a good woman with a good heart, but she can't persuade her powerful husband and ambitious son, so she eats fasting and recites Buddha every day, and prays to the Bodhisattva for forgiveness of the sins of the Cui family. ”

Jiang Yu was silent and asked, "So in exchange for helping the emperor explore the Cui family's information, you want the emperor to spare the Cui family's women and children in the future?"

Cui Chongyi nodded and said, "Whether you believe it or not, I help the emperor, not just to leave a way back for myself and my aunt." I was thinking that some of the men of the Cui family were at fault outside, but many of the Cui family's clansmen were innocent. When the Cui family was in trouble, I didn't dare to ask the emperor to spare the adult men of the Cui family, but I always hoped to spare those innocent women and children. ”

Jiang Yu sighed and asked again: "Then have you ever thought that if one day the Cui family knows that you are helping the emperor do things, they will not spare you and your aunt." ”

Cui Chongyi smiled and sighed: "Then what can be done, there must always be sacrifices to be a man." What's more, if I don't do anything, he won't be able to escape the catastrophe of the Cui family in the future. She took a deep breath as she spoke, and said, "If I am lucky enough to live until the day when the emperor's major affairs are settled, I will beg the emperor to let me out of the palace, and then open a lock shop outside with my aunt incognito." My aunt always said that the most alive time in her life was the years when she lived with her grandfather and her brother in the lock shop, and I wanted to fulfill my aunt's wish. ”

Jiang Yu shook her hand, smiled at her, and said, "You will definitely be able to achieve your wish." If the emperor refuses to let you out of the palace, I will help you. ”

Cui Chongyi teased her and said, "Help me dig a tunnel?"

Jiang Yu shrugged his shoulders and said, "What's not to do." Saying that, he had some resentment, and said: "If you hadn't sued when I was in the cold palace, maybe I would have dug the tunnel." ”

Cui Chongyi was still very grateful for Jiang Yu's sincerity, smiled at her, and shook her hand back.

After all, the topic just now was a little too heavy, and the atmosphere was not very good. Jiang Yu then smiled and changed the topic: "You said that this eldest princess of Xunyang, sometimes I really can't guess her thoughts. She knew that there was no way to reconcile with Cui Mian, but now she had to make a big deal and looked like she was going to tear her face with the Cui family, and she was not afraid that the Cui family would retaliate against her afterwards. ”

At least Jiang Yu thinks that it is not a good time for the eldest princess of Xunyang to make trouble at this time, after all, Empress Dowager Cui is her mother-in-law, and it is still easy to take care of her. Her biological mother was born in the palace again, she is not reliable from a powerful foreign family, and her relationship with the emperor is not even close, if Yu Wenhong is afraid that the Cui family does not plan to stand up for her this time, she will not only make a fuss about this scene, but also offend the Cui family as a whole.

Cui Chongyi said: "The eldest princess is a smart person, and a smart person knows when to help herself get justice." As he spoke, he smiled again and said, "You are in the deep palace, and I am afraid that you don't know very well about the affairs of the foreign court." Last month, when Goguryeo invaded the border in Liaodong, my great-uncle Cui Jue, the prince of Ningguo, as the general of the town guarding Liaodong, led his troops to resist the enemy, not only won a complete victory, but also forced Goguryeo to take the initiative to cede territory. The eldest uncle won the battle, and the emperor naturally wanted to give him a bounty for adding officials to the knighthood, but the Cui family has two titles, and the eldest uncle is already the general of the Pillar State who holds the military power, and if he is further sealed, he can only be crowned a king with a different surname. But do you think the emperor will be willing?

The eldest princess of Xunyang has picked the right time, at this time, the emperor will definitely make a big fuss, and the emperor will not necessarily help her reconcile now, but the emperor will definitely suppress the credit of the Cui family with Cui Mian angrily beating the golden branch. The eldest princess deliberately made this incident, she was helping the emperor, and she was also deliberately getting close to the emperor's brother and sister. ”

sighed again and said: "The good news of Liaodong has not yet reached the capital, but it is also soon." The eldest uncle is now returning to Beijing as a teacher, and when he comes back, waiting for the Cui family will not only be the one who beats the princess, I am afraid there will be a big mess. Starting with Cui Mian beating the eldest princess, there will be many people who want to impeach the Cui family with the emperor's thoughts. ”

Jiang Yu: "......" It seems that there are no fools in this palace, and she is probably the most stupid.

Cui Chongyi looked at the sky outside, stood up on the table again, and said, "Okay, it's not too early at this time, I also have to go back to Ning'an Palace." This Jing'an Palace is probably already noisy, and I'm afraid that someone will come to invite the eldest princess over in a while. ”

Jiang Yu said: "I'll send you out." ”

Cui Chongyi waved his hand and said, "No need, it's not that I don't know the way." ”

As soon as Cui Chongyi left, Jiang Yu just turned back to the inner hall, and the eldest princess of Xunyang also walked out of the side hall.

Probably after a night's rest, her spirit was much better, her hair and clothes had been rearranged, but the injuries on her face were still very obvious. Like Cui Chongyi, she thought that Jing'an Palace would soon send someone to invite her, so she smiled and said to Jiang Yu: "Sister-in-law, the Queen Mother and the imperial brother should let people invite their sisters to Jing'an Palace. ”

Jiang Yu was already mentally prepared, but he didn't say anything, and said: "Then the palace asks people to carry the palace chariot, and you sit in the palace chariot to go over." ”

Princess Xunyang nodded with a smile and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law." ”
