"My father was very worried." Cui Pingzhi nodded slightly, but he didn't agree a little: "If Xiahou dominates the world in the future, won't you clean us up?" ”

"Do you think we helped him win the world, will Xiahouba not clean us up?" Although Cui Yan had never communicated with Pei Qiu about this, the thoughts of the two lords actually coincided. But this is not unusual, the two valves, one article and one martial arts, are both under the Xiahou valve, above thousands of families, and the situation is similar, so they will naturally have the same feelings.

Both families are soberly aware that once the Xiahou valve sits firmly in the country and receives the authority of civil and military affairs in his own body, it is the top priority of the old lady. This is a matter of whether the Xiahou family can sit firmly in the country, or die in the third generation like the Huangfu family, so it will never be a little forgiven because of how much the contribution of the two families is. As long as you figure this out, it's easy to understand what the two owners are thinking.

It's just that Pei Valve has a male soldier in his hand, and he is unwilling to be manipulated by others, so he naturally wants to fight. Cui Valve does not have military power in his hands, so he naturally has to adopt more flexible means to deal with the great changes in the future.

There is another point that Cui Yan did not say to his son, that is, he is really not very optimistic about Xiahou Valve. Because Xiahou Valve's movements were too slow, he obviously had the strength to change the day, but he had been greedy and insufficient, and he wanted to get the entire Daxuan intact. In the eyes of onlookers, this is a bit too child's play.

Even when Sima Zhao's heart was known to passers-by, the Sima family had already monopolized power and military power, and could manipulate the emperor's life and death at will. The power of the Xiahou valve is far less than that of the Sima family back then, but the idea of usurping the throne is known to everyone, which is simply stupid!

You must know that plotting to usurp the throne is gambling with the lives of the whole clan, of course, the sooner you start, the safer. As long as you don't do it for a day, you may be overturned by your opponent. That initial emperor is not a little emperor who is manipulated by his Xiahou family, he may let go at any time and kill Xiahou by surprise.

If Cui Yan is replaced to call the shots for Xiahou Valve, he will definitely launch a coup d'état as soon as the Bailiuzhuang incident and the attempt against the jade seal fails, and he will never give the initial emperor a chance to react. But Cui Yan didn't know if Xiahou was too confident, or if someone else was doing it, so that they were reluctant to do it after their intentions were exposed.

This made Lao Lingjun, who was accustomed to seeing the rise and fall of the dynasty, gradually shake his confidence in the Xiahou valve, and finally made up his mind to keep his distance from them......

。

While the father and son were talking, they heard the noise of people outside the car, and knew that the carriage had entered Peifang, so they tacitly stopped the conversation.

After a while, the carriage stopped in front of the gate of Yangshouyuan, and Pei Jiao personally raised the curtain of the carriage and greeted Lao Lingjun with a smile on his face.

Cui Yan was naturally full of spring breeze, and smiled towards Pei Jiao: "Why do you greet him?" That's so kind. ”

"Oh, old Lingjun, old brother, old in-laws, this is too out-of-the-box." Pei Jiao smiled and helped Cui Yan out of the car, Mrs. Cui lost her father since she was a child, and Pei Jiao raised her, so she said this.

"Hehe, Yangshouyuan, it's really magnificent." Cui Yan looked at the plaque of Yangshouyuan, and then looked at the pair of big bronze lions that showed off their might, and said secretly in his heart: "It seems that Pei Valve has no intention of raising obscurity, and now the excitement is getting bigger and bigger......

"How to say that my brother is also a hard worker, and the whole valve agrees that we must build a garden for him to live for the elderly, so as to fulfill our wishes. Please. Pei Jiao laughed heartily, not caring about the eyes of others at all, and entered hand in hand with Cui Yan.

The two passed through the hall, and naturally countless guests came out to greet them, Cui Yan waved his hand kindly and said: "I'm just like you, I'm here to celebrate my birthday, don't be polite, go back." ”

Driving away the guests who came up, Cui Yan asked with a smile: "Where is the old birthday star?"

"The valve owner is in the longevity hall, talking to the old lady and a few old brothers." Pei Jiao said with a smile: "Otherwise, I will personally greet Lao Lingjun." ”

"Oh? The old lady arrived first? Cui Yan was stunned, the appearance of big names has always been exquisite, and the higher the status, the more important the finale. As Shang Shuling, who is second only to Xiahou Ba among today's guests, he went out at the end of the day and arrived at Yangshouyuan at noon, which was already early and not late, which was very face-saving. It is said that Xiahou Ba should have just gone out at this time, so it was just in time for the mid-morning banquet.

Why did you come half an hour early? This made Cui Yan a little embarrassed.

"It's a little early, but it's the front and back feet." Pei Jiao glanced at Cui Yan sympathetically, knowing that this was the old lady deliberately making him make a fool of himself. Although Pei Jiao had a good personal relationship with Cui Yan, it was not his turn to talk much.

While talking, the two arrived in front of Yangshoutang.

Before he entered the door, he heard Xiahou Ba's loud laughter like a bell.

"Hahaha, you're too late, what should you do?"

Cui Yan scolded secretly, did you deliberately come early and complain about me? With an apologetic look on his face, he stepped up his steps into the hall, and smiled at Pei Qiu and Xiahou Ba: "Old Shouxing and old lady forgive me, people are old, this body is not sure, I want to come early and come early, but I was dizzy when I went out, and I was frightened by those boys, so I was let out after a toss......"

"You old man always has a saying, but now it's going to heaven." Without waiting for Pei Qiu to speak, Xiahou Ba laughed and said, "You can't escape these three cups of punishment wine!" ”

"Ha, okay......" Cui Yan accepted his fate with a wry smile.

Pei Qiu was a little unhappy in his heart, he had actually seen Xiahou Ba unhappy a long time ago, otherwise Pei Qiu would not have the idea of standing on his own. , I didn't expect that on my once-in-a-lifetime birthday, Xiahouba would take the opportunity to do things, isn't this adding to his own blockage?

Suppressing his unhappiness, Pei Qiu stepped forward with a smile, took Cui Yan's hand, and let him opposite Xiahouba and said, "It's good that my brother can come, and if he can come, it will give me face for the Pei family!" ”

Let Pei Qiu insert this bar, Xiahou Ba had to stop for the time being, otherwise he really couldn't swallow this breath - it can be said that the old lady was already very dissatisfied with Cui Yan. Before the two robbed each other, he held a grudge, and this time Cui Valve openly mixed up with the land valve and the guard valve he wanted to deal with, what did he want to do? Is there still a master in his eyes? Or is he Cui Yan's wings stiff and he plans to do it against himself?

。

Cui Yan pretended not to see Xiahou Ba Tieqing's face, and greeted Xie Xun, Lu Shang, Wei Kang, Zuo Yanqing, and the great elders of each valve one by one, and then sat down in his seat.

At this time, only Mei Yi has not yet arrived, but it is estimated that if she does not come at this time, she will not come again. However, Pei Qiu didn't mind, that old lady was as hot as fire, and she had already cut off contact with them in the past ten years. If she really came, she would still be scared, would the old lady tear up with Xiahouba on the spot......

Seeing that the distinguished guests had arrived, Pei Qiu nodded slightly, Pei Jiao understood, and walked quickly to the door of Yangshoutang, ready to ring the cloud board for the opening ceremony.

Who knew that at this time, Pei Yukou, who was left at the door by Pei Jiao to greet the guests, ran in with a look of urgency, and whispered to his father: "Don't open the banquet yet, Your Majesty has arrived!" ”
