Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

At this moment, the twelve ladies of the Cui family are boating on the Tongji Canal more than 100 miles away.

Cui's ship is heading south, just like the last time it went south from Baima, with the goal of finding the Wagang people. However, before arriving in Songcheng last time, the Twelve Ladies received an alarm from Xu Shixian, and then reached out to help the Wagang people, and then hurriedly turned north to avoid falling into a bigger storm again after falling into the White Horse Storm.

As it turned out, the Twelve Ladies judged correctly. Soon after she entered Xingyang County, she continued to receive news that there was a rebellion in Qianjun, and some traitors raised troops to rebel, attacked the city, burned and plundered, and did all kinds of evil, not only interrupted the canal channel, plundered the heavy fleet on the canal, but also completely annihilated the troops of the four regiments of Yongcheng Yingyang Mansion, cut off the head of Fei Huai, the general of Yingyanglang, and two Yingyanglang generals were missing.

The Twelve Ladies were shocked and very surprised, because she hadn't heard anything about the white prisoner Li Fengyun. According to Xu Shixian's report, Han Xiangguo sent a Jianghuai Shuikou named Lu Xingxing to rebel, and Zhai Rang's side was the white prisoner Li Fengyun, but the news from Qian County said that the thief Shuai was a local nobleman named Han Yao, who was Sima of the Yingyang Mansion in Yongcheng.

The next news shocked the twelve ladies even more. The famous general of Middle Earth, General Zuo Xiaowei, the inspector Peng Cheng Taishou Dong Chun, and the Wu Benlang general of Zuo Xiaowei's mansion, Liang Dezhong, two veterans of the Weifu army, personally commanded the Xuzhou Zhuying Yang to chase and intercept the traitors, but let the gang of traitors escape from the encirclement, and swaggered across Surabaya under Pengcheng City, fled into Lu County, and hid in Mengshan. This result is incredible, and the series of political influences produced by this unbelievable result are even more jaw-dropping.

Realizing that she had misestimated the shape of the two sides of the Tongji Canal, the Twelve Ladies underestimated the fog behind the Dongjun and Qianjun storms, and even more severely underestimated the impact of the storm on the situation in Henan, Xuzhou, and Qilu, and if these effects were placed in the context of the Eastern Crusade in Middle-earth, the destructive power it could produce would be even more incalculable.

The Twelfth Lady had a sense of panic that the mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings, so she hurriedly crossed the river, rushed into Hebei along the waterway of the North Canal (Yongji Canal), and found her father in Xindu County.

The father of the twelve ladies is called Cui Hongsheng, Dr. Jin Ziguanglu, Huang Taigong, the big member of the third grade, and the rank is the same as that of the six Shangshu, Jiuqing, and the general of the Twelve Weifu, and is now the Taishou of Xindu County. Since the death of his elder brother Cui Hongdu, Cui Hongsheng has become the head of the Boling Cui clan, controlling both the fate of the family and the fate of Middle-earth.

Cui Yuanjun was very happy when he suddenly heard that his beloved daughter was coming, but behind the smile, it was difficult to hide his melancholy.

Since the death of the third son of the first emperor, Yang Junxu, the third son of the first emperor, the Cui family has been severely damaged, and its vitality has not recovered. Princess Qin was the younger sister of Cui Hongdu, a powerful minister of the dynasty, who was accused of poisoning the King of Qin, and the King of Qin was ordered to return to Huangquan at the age of thirty, so she was deposed and given death by the first emperor. At the same time, Cui Hongsheng's daughter, the princess of Henan, was also deposed. Yang Zhao, the king of Henan, was the eldest son of Jinshang, who died only a year after he entered the East Palace.

The glory of the Cui family and the two concubines collapsed in an instant, Cui Hongdu, Cui Hongsheng and other brothers were all dismissed, and the powerful political alliance formed by Yang Jun, the king of Qin, and the Cui family, the first wealthy family in Shandong, collapsed.

Also in this year, a lot of big things happened. At the end of summer, Yang Jun, the king of Qin, died of illness. On the ninth day of the tenth month of winter, the crown prince Yang Yong was deposed. On the same day, Shi Wansui, a famous general in Middle-earth and one of the famous commanders of the Weifu Army, was violently killed by the first emperor in the court. In November, Jinshang, who was the king of Jin at the time, was canonized as the crown prince and entered the East Palace.

This series of political storms all stemmed from the fierce battle for imperial domination, and the final winner was Jinshang. Four years later, Jin ascended the throne, and the king of Henan was the crown prince, and there was no crown princess. Yang Liang, the fifth son of Emperor Shixian, raised troops to rebel, and attacked the eastern capital with the eagles of the four major regions of Dai, Jin, You, and Hebei, and the supporters behind them were Shandong people. In order to win over and divide the Shandong aristocratic group, coupled with many other political factors, Jinshang decided to reinstate the Cui family as the crown princess in order to rebuild the political alliance with the Cui family, the first wealthy family in Shandong.

However, to Imashang's surprise, Cui Hongdu, the head of the Cui family, said that he couldn't afford it and refused to accept the order. However, since the emperor and the imperial family gave the Cui family enough face and tactfully apologized for what the first emperor had done, there was no need for the Cui family to do anything absolutely and break with Jinshang, so the Cui family resolutely decided to support Jinshang. The Cui family is one of the five top wealthy families in Shandong, and has a supreme position in the Shandong aristocratic group, and the decisions made by the Cui family are naturally supported by most of the wealthy families in Shandong. Then the situation was subverted, and Yang Liang, the king of the Han Dynasty, who had been triumphant, suddenly rebelled and left, and the army was defeated like a mountain, and he was defeated.

Jinshang fulfilled his promise, and the Cui family re-entered the core of power, but unfortunately the crown prince died, and the Cui family's daughter reinstated the crown princess was terminated.

If Cui Hongdu did not refuse the emperor's holy decree, and Cui Hongsheng's daughter became the crown princess again, then the fate would also be cruel to Cui's daughter, the prince died, he was widowed at a young age, and he did not have a son and a half daughter, and he did not even have a sustenance, which can be described as a miserable life, but compared to the current situation of Cui's daughter, Cui Hongsheng would rather her daughter have a miserable life, but she is sitting in the palace crying, she is a member of the royal family, and Cui's can still touch the light of the emperor's relatives, instead of being like now, seemingly free, but in fact imprisoned in an invisible and untouchable cageand wash his face with tears in the dark.

Cui Hongsheng did not resent his brother, if it was him, under the circumstances, he would also refuse the emperor's decree. At that time, the Shandong aristocratic group was making a big gamble, and if they won, they could defeat the Guanlong people, seize the ruling power of Middle Earth, and completely change the fate of the Shandong people. Cui is just one of the bigwigs in the Shandong aristocratic group, with the authority of one word, but no strength of one word. The Cui family made a decision to support the emperor, but they were not sure that they could convince other wealthy families to make most of the nobles in Shandong accept their decision, so they had to make two preparations. If Yang Liang, the king of Han, wins, what should the Cui family do? Conversely, if the emperor wins, how should the Cui clan respond?

If the emperor wins, the Cui family will definitely not be able to escape, and the Cui family will have to be re-established, the Cui family will have face, power and authority can be rebuilt overnight, and the damaged vitality can also be quickly restored.

However, the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, the emperor won, but the prince died, and Cui's wishful thinking failed, but Cui's daughter suffered.

The daughter of a wealthy family is one of the resources of the government, and the marriage of the government is a traditional means of forming an alliance with the government, and the daughter of the Cui family naturally wants to marry at a young age, but the nobles follow the tradition of "marriage at the door", especially the wealthy, marrying is a loss of face, and it is a loss of face for the marriage eunuchs, and they will be laughed at, which is one of them. Second, Cui's daughter was the daughter-in-law of Jinshang, and was later deposed by the first emperor, but the king of Henan never set up a concubine again, which of course has the reason for the king of Henan, there must also be the reason for the first emperor and the present, if the first emperor and the prince at the time must give the king of Henan a concubine, how can the king of Henan resist? It can be seen that both the first emperor and the present are aware of the huge strength of the Cui clan in Middle-earth and its huge influence on the rise and fall of the dynasty, so they have laid the groundwork, and once there is a need for the Cui clan, they will use the "re-establishment" to rebuild the political alliance between the two sides.

This "restoration" did not succeed, but the political alliance was rebuilt, and the Cui family daughter was no longer a deposed sinner, but a nobleman who wanted to be "reinstated" as the crown princess. Such a prominent status is unattainable in the eyes of the emperor and the imperial family, or in the eyes of the Cui family, or in the eyes of other wealthy families.

From the emperor's point of view, this is his daughter-in-law, especially after the death of his son, the emperor has special and complex feelings for this fateful daughter-in-law, in a sense, he transformed his guilt and longing for his son into love for his daughter-in-law. Of course, he has no reason to prevent Cui's daughter from remarrying, but from his own emotions, he has a reason to interfere in Cui's daughter's marriage, who Cui's daughter marries, he has to make the final decision, as long as he opposes it, no one wants to marry Cui's daughter.

So it's a dead end. The emperor was unwilling to marry a widowed daughter-in-law to a person he didn't like, and the Cui family couldn't marry his daughter with a prominent status, and the wealthy family with the Cui family considered the emperor's emotions and did not dare to marry the Cui family's daughter, so as not to offend the emperor and kill himself. Cui's daughter became a special being, and politics and tradition imprisoned her and ruthlessly destroyed her life.

The twelve ladies of the Cui family are "sick", crazy, Dongdu is a big cage for her, and Cui's house is a small cage, in the heavy cage, she can't breathe and is on the verge of death. In desperation, Cui Hongsheng obeyed the advice of Xue Yi, the Taoist White Horse Master, and asked his daughter to leave the Eastern Capital, stay away from Fan Cage, and travel to famous mountains and rivers to relieve her mood and treat heart disease.

However, the Cui family represents the cultural heritage of the Middle Earth, representing power and wealth, and the children of the Cui family are in the spotlight wherever they go, especially such prominent figures as Cui's daughter, whose every move is under the attention of those who have a heart, how can they travel quietly through the famous mountains and rivers like a cultivator? Soon, Cui's daughter returned to the cage unconsciously, but this time she took the initiative, she was full of passion, she wanted to rewrite her life, wanted to change her fate, and wanted to live like a normal person with taste and color.

The change in her daughter made Cui Hongsheng both happy and worried. The good thing is that the daughter finally escaped from the psychological cage, and the worry is that the daughter has the emperor and the Cui family's two big backers, and the hidden power in her hands is very strong. So he had to take precautions, and even sent his cronies to monitor Cui Jiu and his henchmen around the clock, however, after all, something happened, the Dongjun White Horse case and the crisis in Xuzhou caused by the rebellion in Qian County, there are Cui's daughters behind them, fortunately, her daughter is smart, has a sense of the overall situation, and always puts Cui's interests first, so that even if Cui's is involved, they all retreat, and they do not leave any handle for political opponents. Especially what makes Cui Hongsheng happy, his daughter seems to be sensible, when the Eastern Crusade is about to begin, the rebellion in the north and south of the river is repeated, the wind and rain are shaking, and the situation in Shandong is becoming increasingly severe, the daughter returned to her side and listened to the teachings, which is a good sign, a sign that is beneficial to Cui's future.
