"Your Majesty, please step over the corpse of your minister." Cui Zhenyi said in a deep voice.

Zhou Heng said: "If my father-in-law was alive, he would not say such a thing." ”

Cui Zhenyi was choked and staggered, almost unable to stand, took a few deep breaths, evened out his breath, and then said: "The emperor has tormented the old minister." ”

Does this mean that he is not Cui Keyin's biological father, but he is separated by a layer, so he doesn't think about him? How could he do that! Why didn't he think about how much pressure he had taken on as a relative? Today, the ministers quarreled in the Chongzheng Hall for a day, Zhou Heng did not say a word, let the ministers quarrel upside down, after the dispersal of the dynasty, the ministers gathered next to the Jinshui Bridge to discuss, many people blamed him in and out of words, and some people said something in a weird way: "The emperor has always obeyed the queen's words, and the idea of persuading the emperor to stop the royal conquest fell on Cui Ge Lao." ”

It seems that the queen instigated the emperor to drive the expedition in person, who did he tell his grievances? If you really want to blame, blame his mother, who promised this family business, so that he is not a person inside and outside now.

Cui Zhenyi didn't dare to blame the emperor, so he had to blame Mrs. Zhang for coming. Mrs. Zhang was chanting in the Buddhist hall, and suddenly snorted twice, and said strangely: "Is it windy outside?" Why is it a little cold? ”

Cui Keyin didn't know about his strange thoughts, let alone that Old Madam Zhang had suffered a self-inflicted disaster, so she persuaded: "Uncle might as well listen to the emperor's thoughts before making a decision." Forcing each other to death like this is not the style of our Cui family. ”

The Cui family is a family that has been inherited for thousands of years, and it pays attention to seeking stability and family inheritance. This is the demeanor of the Cui family.

"!" Cui Zhenyi glanced at Zhou Heng. sighed: "Niangniang was favored in the past, and now she lets the emperor mess around." The courtiers were ashamed of His Holiness, and would only say that Niangniang confused the emperor, so that the emperor drove the imperial expedition in person. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Zhou Heng again. This should have been avoided by Zhou Heng, but now he had no choice but to say it in front of Zhou Heng, and he was worried that Zhou Heng would overreact, so he kept looking at him.

Zhou Heng did not react. It's like you didn't hear it.

Cui Keyin said: "People's words are terrifying. If I don't want to be favored. Presumably, the courtiers will despise me and try to send their daughter to the palace to replace me. Now that the emperor and I are husband and wife, they have no chance, and it is not surprising that they say some ugly things. Why does the eldest uncle bother with human words? ”

Do you want me to let my husband out? Share it with the women. Does Bo have a reputation for being virtuous?

Cui Zhenyi was anxious. said: "Niangniang also knows that people's words are terrifying, why not listen to the invitation of the ministers and persuade the emperor?" ”

Even if it's a gesture. Let everyone understand that this is the emperor's own idea, and it is okay to have nothing to do with the queen.

Cui Keyin said: "Uncle is this asking me to embarrass the emperor against my will?" The ministers keep saying that they are loyal to the monarch and patriotic, but which one is not out of selfishness? The first emperor drove the expedition in person, and sixty-six ministers accompanied the expedition, of which six Shangshu were all accompanied. Most of them died in Fort Sheephorn. The ministers used the example of the previous emperor to persuade them, didn't they worry that they would follow in the footsteps of those sixty-six ministers and die on the battlefield one day? ”

This is the selfishness of the ministers, and it can't be declared or put on the table, but Cui Keyin Chiguoguo tore this veil open.

What he said was for the sake of the emperor, but he was actually worried that he would have to drive with him, and he would die unclear in the end.

The difference between accompanying the expedition and leading the army as a supervisor is that as a supervising army, the power is in his hands, his life is in his own hands, and the army is all in charge of the war. The commander of the army must also obey the orders of the overseer. And when he went out with the car, his life was in the hands of the emperor, and he couldn't be the master.

It is too unsafe to put your life in the hands of a twenty-year-old young man.

Not all courtiers understood Zhou Heng's deployment like Tang Tianzheng, Cui Zhenyi, and Gu Wei, and knew that Zhou Kang's rebellion was under Zhou Heng's step-by-step guidance, and Zhou Heng had already made careful arrangements.

Therefore, these three will jump out to fight for the power of the prison army as soon as possible, instead of everyone jumping out to fight for the power of the prison army.

They only knew that Emperor Zhi'an died in Giethoorn, and now Zhou Heng was going to Luoyang to die, and he had to drag them to accompany them to the funeral. This is going to kill them.

People's hearts are tortuous, Cui Zhenyi is in the game, and it is difficult to distinguish it. As a representative of the queen's family, he was under great pressure, and there was no room for him to calm down and think carefully about the true thoughts of his colleagues. Now that this veil was torn by Cui Keyin, he stayed for a long time, and said, "What about Niangniang's thoughts?" ”

Or Cui Keyin said it sharply, but it was the truth. If this is the case, he should also plan for himself and strive for the best interests of the Cui family.

Cui Keyin said: "Uncle might as well sit down and listen to the emperor's details." ”

Cui Zhenyi thanked him, sat down at Jindun, and arched his hand: "Please make it clear to the emperor." ”

Zhou Heng smiled slightly and said, "Although the Son of Heaven has no selfish affairs, Cui Qing is indeed my relative. ”

Above the court, in front of the ministers, Zhou Heng was naturally called "Cui Qing", and only in Anhua Palace, when he was alone with Cui Keyin, did he call him "big uncle" along with Cui Keyin.

Cui Zhenyi suddenly heard Zhou Heng talk to him about his relatives, and hurriedly stood up and said, "The minister doesn't dare to trespass." ”

Speaking as a vulgar word, the emperor also has a few poor relatives, that is a common saying, but it can't be taken seriously. If it does, it won't be far from death. No matter how the dynasty changes, the Cui family has stood tall for thousands of years, and has its own way of life.

Zhou Heng motioned for Cui Zhenyi to sit down and said: "The king of Chu is rebelling, although there are good generals in the court, what kind of war can be endured, and the people are not happy." I went to Luoyang to quell the rebellion, and the capital was handed over to Cui Qing. ”

He is a relative, he can dictate power, but he cannot usurp the throne, he is really a good candidate.

Cui Zhenyi was taken aback and lost his voice: "The emperor can't!" His mind was spinning, and he was thinking of a set of arguments to refuse.

Zhou Heng said with a smile: "Uncle Yi only needs to help me guard the capital and not let Xiao Xiaoxiao make trouble, and I will handle the government affairs by myself." ”

Cui Keyin also said: "Won't the eldest uncle help with this?" ”

No wonder it is said that girls are outgoing, and when a woman marries, her husband sings with her wife, and her husband is embarrassed by her uncle. Cui Zhenyi muttered in his heart, and the sweat on his forehead came down.

Cui Keyin handed over the handkerchief and said, "Uncle might as well think about it." Apart from you, who else can the emperor entrust the capital to? ”

That's just as well. The niece of the in-law is the queen, and if she doesn't help her, who will help her? Cui Zhenyi took Cui Keyin's handkerchief and wiped his sweat, and said, "I'm afraid that the ministers will not be able to do it." ”

Zhou Heng said: "I still have the ability to know people well. ”

Cui Zhenyi was overjoyed, it was not easy to get such a high evaluation from the emperor.

At that moment, the two of them talked about the layout of the defense of the capital after Zhou Heng's personal conquest, who was available and who could be defended. Cui Zhenyi realized that the imperial drive was a decision made by Zhou Heng after careful consideration, and thought that Jiang was dragging his unhealed body with an arrow wound in the rain at the gate of the palace to ask to see him, and he couldn't help but scold himself: "Stupid!"
