Chapter 201: The Great Flood Washed the Dragon King Temple (Part II)
"Originally, there were some suspicions of family ugliness when this matter was spoken, but since you are already with us, there is no problem in saying it. What's more, this is not a secret, many people in the clan and outside the clan know it, and the only ones who don't know are probably those real ordinary people. Cui Xiuxiu said.
Next, Cui Xiuxiu explained the origin of this matter. It turns out that the situation is similar to the plot of some bloody TV series, that is, the issue of fighting for the inheritance of the patriarch. The eldest and the second are competing for inheritance, while the third is weaker, but they also want to compete for inheritance. However, the strength of the third child is relatively weak, so it is impossible to compete with the eldest and second under normal circumstances, and now it is a bad thing for the third child. The third child pondered and pondered, that is, to find a way to attract foreign aid!
And the object of foreign aid must not be other big families. Because other big families abide by one rule, that is, they do not interfere in each other's internal affairs, so other families will not easily interfere in the internal affairs of the Cui family. Although there are many marriages in their major families, in the final analysis, the marriage is to protect their own family, not so that others can meddle in their own family's internal affairs. Therefore, although there is a marriage, those families on the "mother's" side are not suitable to be invited as foreign aid. If you invite your mother's side to be a foreign aid today, then they will invite you next time, which is a break in the rules.
And the third child turned his attention to the imperial court, that is, Li Shimin's side. The Cui family is a big family spanning several dynasties, and it has its own inheritance system, and it is difficult for the national court to interfere at all. They were the only ones who interfered with the imperial court, but they had never heard of the imperial court interfering with them. And this time, the third child also wanted to risk the disapproval of the world, and actually wanted to invite the court as foreign aid, and then support himself to seize the position of the head of the family. In this way, there is actually support.
This third child also secretly contacted the emperor Li Shimin, and the emperor Li Shimin also wished that there was an opportunity to meddle in those big families. Although this third child knew that he was luring the wolf into the house, he was facing the attraction of power. He still chose to compromise. If the struggle fails, it is definitely bad luck. Between himself and his family's interests and power, he chose himself and power, and put the family's interests in second place for the time being. So even if he knew that cooperating with the imperial court was luring wolves into the house, he chose to cooperate.
"Got it? My father is the third son, and since I am my father's daughter, I naturally want to help my father seize the position of head of the family. Cui Xiuxiu asked.
Chen Fei immediately asked, "Why did you choose me to help?" ”
Chen Fei couldn't understand why Li Shimin chose to send himself to help. There should be many people who can do this kind of thing, why do you have to ask Chen Fei, a person who is not very familiar with this kind of conspiracy, to do this kind of thing. Isn't this hurting Chen Fei? Chen Fei is not good at doing this kind of internal power struggle, who chose Chen Fei to do this kind of thing?
"It's my father who took a fancy to you and chose you to come over to help me!" Cui Xiuxiu said.
"Cui San? After all, who is this Cui San? Chen Fei asked.
Cui Xiuxiu said: "It's your old boss, who is now Shuozhou Thorn History." ”
"It turned out to be Cui Fu's assassination history!" Chen Fei figured it out.
It turned out that this Cui San was Chen Fei's previous boss Cui Fu, and this Cui Fu had been Chen Fei's boss for several months, but Chen Fei had no friendship with him. Chen Fei and Cui Fu are both business-related contacts, but in fact, they haven't met too much. Chen Fei was only after Cui Fu took office. went to see Cui Fu, and after that, they all just exchanged through official documents. But why did Cui Fu fall in love with Chen Fei, a person who had only met once, Chen Fei thought that he had not left any too special impression on Cui Fu. Why did Cui Fu choose herself?
"Since my father chose you, and my father told me how to arrange things for you. So, you're going to listen to me for the time being. Cui Xiuxiu said.
Chen Fei asked again; "Then Cui Fu just went to Shuozhou to do the history of assassination? Isn't he busy fighting for the position of head of the family here? ”
"My father entrusted me with everything, and let me take full responsibility." Cui Xiuxiu said.
Chen Fei was a little surprised, because Cui Xiuxiu actually got all the entrustment from Cui Fu, which was really amazing. Cui Fu trusts his daughter so much, so it seems that Chen Fei still has to be careful. This Cui Xiuxiu is only sixteen or seventeen years old, and he can take on such an important matter. Chen Fei really didn't know whether to say that she was too powerful or that he was too incompetent. actually has to obey the command of a woman younger than himself.
Chen Fei then asked: "In that case, is that Cui Yan your person?" Do you want me to let him go? ”
"No, I don't. You can clean up Cui Yan for me, don't be polite. As long as you don't die, then just clean up! Cui Xiuxiu said.
Chen Fei once again had to admit that this woman was so ruthless that she was able to let Chen Fei clean up that Cui Yan ruthlessly. However, Chen Fei also figured it out that the cooperation between Cui Fu and Li Shimin this time could not be made public. Once the cooperation between Cui Fu and Li Shimin is made public, I am afraid it will be fatal to Cui Fu. At that time, the Cui family will not support this person who colluded with the imperial court to be the head of the family, after all, the Cui family has always been outside the entire social system and is very detached. If you cooperate with the imperial court, you will be pulling yourself into the water, so the people of the Cui family cannot tolerate their transcendent status being broken, so if anyone colludes with the imperial court, it will definitely lose the hearts of the people within the Cui family.
And Chen Fei was sent here, and no one knew that he was cooperating with Cui Fu. If Chen Fei hit Cui Fu's subordinates hard again at this time, then I'm afraid no one would be able to know Chen Fei's purpose at all. After all, no one thought that Chen Fei and Cui Fu were actually wearing a pair of pants. This Cui Yan, that is, a victim, is used as a trick for Chen Fei and Cui Fu's daughter Cui Xiuxiu to cooperate. Anyway, Chen Fei cleaned up Cui Yan ruthlessly, so in the eyes of many people, Chen Fei and Cui Fu's family had a contradiction, and it was impossible to come together. But no one knew that this was just a trick by Chen Fei and Cui Xiuxiu, and that Cui Yan was also a victim.
"But, what role do I play in this 'big play'?" Chen Fei took the initiative to ask. (To be continued)
