On the night Cui Jue returned, for many people, it was destined to be a sleepless night. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion.

Lin Yu made tea and brought it over, held a cup for her mother-in-law and husband sitting on the couch, and then walked to Xiao Changyuan and stood behind.

The eldest prince of Shoushan mainly talks about things with his son, but he does not avoid her.

The eldest princess of Shoushan took a small sip of tea and asked her son, "You said that the emperor didn't see Ning Guogong's father and son today?"

Xiao Changyuan replied to her: "No." ”

The eldest princess put down the tea bowl in her hand, frowned and pondered for a while, and said: "It seems that the emperor's patience with the Cui family is getting smaller and smaller, and I am afraid that he is planning to do something to the Cui family." As he spoke, his face shrank slightly, and he frowned again, and said, "It's okay to save the people of the Cui family from thinking that the world has become her Cui family." ”

The eldest princess of Shoushan is also surnamed Yuwen, and the words that Cui Mian said to the eldest princess of Xunyang have already spread on the street, and the eldest princess of Shoushan naturally does not know, and she is naturally very angry.

And what makes her new student dissatisfied is not only these, the Cui family has been rampant and domineering outside the country over the years, and she has heard a lot of them even if she hasn't seen them with her own eyes.

Xiao Changyuan said: "The emperor just wants to temporarily suppress the momentum of the Cui family, I am afraid that the emperor will have to wait a little longer to deal with the Cui family, and now it is not the right time and place." ”

If you want to solve the Cui family, it is not as simple as listing a few crimes for him to convict the Cui family, the first thing to solve is the Cui family's power and military power in Liaodong.

The Cui family's power in Liaodong is deep-rooted, if the military power is not recovered, at this time, the Cui family will be moved, and the Cui family dog will jump under the wall and lead the 200,000 soldiers in Liaodong to rise up, which will be a disaster for the imperial court.

The emperor also has military power in his hands, and the emperor may not be able to defeat the Cui family. However, the internal war of the Great Zhou will inevitably lead to attrition and displacement of the people. Especially now that the border outsiders are also eyeing the Great Zhou, as soon as a war starts, the emperor will send troops to suppress it, and the border pass troops will become weaker, which is also very likely to cause the foreign Yi to attack.

The eldest princess of Shoushan is not an ordinary woman in the house, and naturally she can figure out some of them, so she nodded in agreement, but she didn't say anything.

Xiao Changyuan said to the eldest princess of Shoushan again: "Mother, the emperor summoned his son to talk a few words, it seems that the emperor wants to change the border guard, and wants his son to be in charge of this matter." ”

The eldest princess of Shoushan said: "Changing the guard is a good way to weaken the Cui family's military power. ”

Why can the Cui family hold the military power of Liaodong, because the Cui family has military talismans, and because the soldiers in the northwest are all cultivated by the Cui family, if the prestige in the northwest army is chaotic, I am afraid that the emperor is not as good as the Cui family.

But the eldest princess of Shoushan still frowned, and hesitated: "It's just responsible for changing the guard, I'm afraid it will offend a lot of people." "First of all, the Cui family, I'm afraid they won't let go of their son.

The eldest princess of Shoushan thought about it clearly, but she was also a mother, and the first thing she thought about was her son's life

Xiao Changyuan smiled and said to his mother: "Mother, the son is a man after all. ”

The eldest princess of Shoushan understands what her son means, he is a man, he must take responsibility, be loyal to the country, and glorify the lintel.

The eldest princess of Shoushan hesitated for a moment, and finally waved her hand, and said: "That's it, that's it, since the emperor asked you to do it, then you do it, the Xiao family is also a loyal martyr, since you are a descendant of the Xiao family, you should not insult the lintel of the Xiao family." He added, "I'm old, and I like to worry about a lot of things, so you don't have to worry about me." ”

Xiao Changyuan is not smiling at outsiders, but he is very gentle to his mother, and said with a smile: "Where is my mother old, my mother is still very young." ”

The eldest princess of Shoushan naturally knew that her son was coaxing her to be happy, so she smiled and took a sip of tea, remembered something, "Huh", and said, "Next month is the emperor's birthday festival, right?"

Xiao Changyuan nodded and said, "Yes." ”

The eldest princess of Shoushan sighed and said, "When the time comes, the kings of various feudal domains will enter Beijing, and I am afraid that Gyeonggi will be lively again." ”

At this time, there are also Zhou Bi's father and son who are in the Zhou family.

Zhou Geng heard that Cui Jue's father and son were given a horse by the emperor outside the Xuanqing Palace today, and said to his father with some schadenfreude in his father's study: "It seems that the emperor is ready to attack the Cui family." As soon as the Cui family father and son returned to Beijing after winning the battle, the emperor deliberately embarrassed the father and son, and made the father and son kneel in the Xuanqing Hall for a long time, and they were almost not afraid of tearing their faces with the Cui family.

Zhou Bi was more stable than Zhou Geng, and at this time he also had a little smile on his face, and said: "I'm afraid it's not so fast, but the emperor really doesn't have much patience with the Cui family." ”

Zhou Geng said again: "The emperor and the Cui family are in trouble, this is just the opportunity for our Zhou family." ”

Zhou Bi didn't say anything, but there was a little smug on his face.

Indeed, he is the general of Zuo Wuhou who is in charge of the 200,000 forbidden army in Gyeonggi, and no matter who the Cui family and the emperor want to attack whom, they can't bypass him, they must win her over first.

Zhou Geng sat down on the chair, looked at his father, and asked with a smile: "Father, are you optimistic about the Cui family, or are you optimistic about the emperor? If it is you, which side will you put the treasure on? The Cui family has military power, the queen mother, and the king of Qi, who was born from the first emperor, and the emperor is not weak......

Zhou Bi glanced at him and warned: "What is betting on treasure or not, since I am the emperor's courtier, I am naturally loyal to the emperor and orthodox." ”

Zhou Geng hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, my father is a loyal and virtuous minister, and he naturally only has loyalty in his heart." ”

But in my heart, I don't think much of Zhou Bi's righteousness is awe-inspiring, and my father is just an opportunist. This kind of high-sounding words, just talk to outsiders, why pretend in front of him.

Zhou Bi rubbed a wrench on his thumb, and what he was thinking about at this time was indeed how to use the contradiction between the emperor and the Cui family to benefit himself and the Zhou family. He, the general of Zuo Wuhou, was the most favored person by the first emperor when he was the first emperor, but the current emperor doesn't seem to be interested in him.

After a while, Zhou Bi's hand on the wrench suddenly stopped, and as if he remembered something, he asked again: "Ah Yun hasn't come back yet, I haven't seen him go back to the house in the past few days." ”

Zhou Yun snorted when he heard this, and said, "I see that he is very happy to guard the door, and he is about to forget the door." ”

Zhou Yun never likes and looks down on this younger brother, his children are indecisive, but such a person who is inferior to him everywhere makes his father like him even more.

Zhou Bi turned his head and glared at Zhou Geng warningly, but Zhou Geng had to shut up when he heard it.

Zhou Bi asked again, "Where's Arlinn, and what have you been doing lately?"

Zhou Geng said: "What can you do, you are probably losing your temper with that one called tourmaline again." ”
