More than ten years ago, when Huangfu Yu stopped his wife and remarried, he had not yet usurped the throne, so he was naturally restricted from doing many things. For example, if he wants to get rid of the Wei family, he must have an order from the Emperor Qianming or the Empress Dowager to do it. The queen mother was very dissatisfied with him for divorce of Gaozu's designated wife and marrying Xiahou, Emperor Qianming was famous for his filial piety, so naturally he would not disobey his mother and help his younger brother make this decree.

In desperation, Huangfu Yu could only force the Wei family to become a monk and marry the Xiahou family first. When he became the emperor and corrected the name of the Xiahou clan, he didn't know whether he forgot it or did it intentionally, and he didn't make a special order to sort out the affairs of the Wei family. As a result, even the title of the eldest prince has become a problem left over from history.

In this regard, the Xiahou valve did not fail to notice, but this was the emperor's family matter, and before the prince was a minor, they could only let it go......

Sure enough, the original emperor did not forget the events of the year at all, but wanted to leave this old account for today, and calculate it carefully with Xiahou Valve.

As a result, Xiahou was speechless when he was squeezed by Lu Xin, but it was even more impossible to apologize to the emperor, so he lost his own face and was secondary, wouldn't he confirm the status of the eldest son of the eldest prince?

He could only blush, stiffen his neck, and pretended to be dumb in embarrassment.

The initial emperor was happy to see his brother-in-law make a fool of himself, and while touching his chin comfortably, he admired Xiahou's embarrassment.

"Okay, in front of Your Majesty, what kind of noisy and shouting is it?" Xiahou Ba had no choice but to stand up and relieve his son and said: "Since no one can convince anyone, then step back for the time being, write their respective opinions into a notebook, and send a hundred officials to see what the ministers' public opinions are?" ”

"Can ......" The initial emperor bowed slightly, forcing Xiahou Ba to admit that his eldest son was controversial, and this counterattack was considered to have achieved its goal. Seeing that there was no point in arguing any longer, he nodded and said: "Let's postpone the matter of sealing the king and the feudal domain, it's better to wait until we figure out who is the national capital, and then make a plan, what does the old lady think?" ”

"Your Majesty is wise......" Xiahou Ba lowered his head and gritted his teeth.

"I'm outnumbered, so let's be here today." The Initial Emperor waved his hand.

"Retreat." Du Hui sang loudly, and all the officials sent His Majesty in unison.

。

Cui Pingzhi helped Cui Yan, and when he came out of Yingtianmen, he saw the old lady with a black face, and Xie Xun and others hurriedly got into the carriage, obviously there was something important to discuss.

"I thought the old lady would greet my father with me." Cui Pingzhi helped Cui Yan into the carriage.

"How so? We have already made it clear in the morning, this time Cui Valve will not mix, and he will not participate in the distribution of spoils in the future. Cui Yan calmly watched Xiahouba's carriage gradually move away.

"It seems that my father is really not optimistic about the old lady." Cui Pingzhi tasted the meaning of his father's words, and it was obvious that if he was optimistic about the prospects of Xiahou Valve, Cui Valve would definitely follow suit to avoid being marginalized in the future.

"Hmph," Cui Yan couldn't help sneering: "Today, the old lady came with great momentum, and in order to return for a complete victory, she specially told me to shut up first." I did, but what happened? Haven't you been put on a dog to gnaw mud? ”

"Yes, I didn't expect this Lu Xin to really be able to fight, it has a bit of a tongue war group of Confucianism." Cui Pingzhi couldn't help but praise: "He actually turned out the old yellow calendar from the pile of old papers, and he just helped the eldest prince to take advantage of it." ”

"Don't you see? This was all planned by His Majesty, I'm afraid that I have been dragging it out to deal with Wei Niangniang's affairs back then, just waiting for today. Cui Yan smiled casually and said: "Your Majesty's game of chess has been laid out for a long time, and the old lady has already entered the game, so it depends on how he turns the tables." ”

"So my father is optimistic about Your Majesty?" Cui Pingzhi's expression moved when he heard this.

"It's also not optimistic." Cui Yan said slowly: "Your Majesty is congenitally deficient, and he is too much inferior to Taishi in terms of hard power, so he is taking a risk." If you win, you can completely turn the game around, but if you lose, you will lose everything. We don't need to follow him to bet on his net worth to gamble on this, just watch the show honestly on the side. ”

"If Your Majesty wins, I'm afraid Lu Valve will replace our Cui family." Cui Ping's way out of the hidden worries in his heart. Among the seven valves, the land valve and the Cui valve are the most similar, and there is also the possibility of replacing each other. Now it is the Cui valve on the top, and the land valve is standing aside. But in the future, if the land valve is allowed to go up, Cui Valve will have to stand aside.

"Lu Valve's luck has arrived, like the rising sun, look at Lu Xin and Lu Yun's father and son, how many times in a year? Which time is not bad for good luck? That's a testament to their luck. Cui Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Originally, the old man wanted to touch their fortune, but people are not as good as heaven, and they actually let the demon girl of Taiping Dao stir up the yellow, it can be seen that this game, luck is not in my valve, if we come hard, I am afraid that it will become a delicious meal on someone's plate." ”

"What if that is...... I mean, if the emperor wins, we'll see the land valve replace this one? Cui Ping's heart is unwilling.

"I'm not afraid if it's really replaced, you see that the land valve has been dormant for so many years, and it hasn't lost anything, isn't it still the right time to turn over?"

Cui Yanyun said lightly: "It's still the same sentence, no matter who sits in the country, they need scholars to govern the world." We can't lose the tradition of poetry and books, so we are not afraid that there will be no chance to rise again. ”

"Yes." Seeing that his father had already made up his mind, Cui Pingzhi had no choice but to accept the reality and said: "I will talk to the children of the valve one by one, so that they can put away their temperament and study more, and cause less trouble outside." ”

"Well, it's a bit of a futuristic valve owner." Cui Yan patted his son's shoulder with a smile and said, "The future descendants of the Cui family will thank my father and son for their decision today." ”

"Yes." Cui Pingzhi nodded excitedly and said: "Father is far-sighted, Ze is descendant, and the child still has to study hard." ”

"In addition, in the future, our father and son will divide the labor. The old man put on an old face, and Xiahou was a false and wronged snake. If you want to have a lot of dealings with Lu Xin, you might as well say something that is not satisfied with my neutrality. In the future, if the emperor really wins, the father will naturally take responsibility and step down, and you can seek more benefits for your own lord as an ally of Lu Xin. ”

Cui Yan taught his son earnestly.

"No wonder," Cui Pingzhi suddenly realized: "No wonder my father has always refused to let go of Ning'er's marriage, it turned out to be hanging this thread." ”

"Not bad." Cui Yan smiled a little helplessly: "If you can't marry a family, you can't become an enemy, now I'd rather let the Lu family bear me than let my Cui family lose the Lu family." ”

"It's just like this, it's hard for the eldest brother's family." Cui Pingzhi couldn't help but whisper.

"The old man turned a blind eye to his business, and he had to repay the favor." Cui Yan sighed a little helplessly: "Look at it, your eldest brother is finally a line, who knows which one will catch the fish in the end?" ”
