After listening to what Cen Wenwen said, Cui Gan and Lu Chengqing were overjoyed, they didn't expect that Cen Wenwen and Xiao Yu came to them today for this matter -- the Southern Shi clan, one of the three major political forces in the world, took refuge in and supported His Royal Highness King Wei.

If the Southern Shi clan can also support His Royal Highness the King of Wei, then the Shandong Hao clan and the Southern Shi clan will join forces to overthrow the crown prince Chengqian, who is only supported by the Guanlong aristocratic group, and His Royal Highness the King of Wei will ascend to the position of the prince, then the success will inevitably increase greatly.

Cui Gan happily said to Cen Wenwen: "Since Lord Cen and Lord Xiao and the Southern Scholars under your command are willing to support His Royal Highness the King of Wei, then this is something that His Royal Highness the King of Wei and we cannot ask for." His Royal Highness King Wei and we are also very much welcome to Lord Cen, Lord Xiao, and the Southern Shi clan under your leadership to join. ”

"So good, so good." Cen Wenwen said, but his brows couldn't help frowning, he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything, just looked embarrassed.

Cui Gan said to Cen Wenwen with concern: "Lord Cen , do you have anything to say?" Then speak up. Now we all support His Royal Highness King Wei, and we can be regarded as a family, if we have anything to say, we can speak freely. ”

Hearing Cui Gan say this, Cen Wenwen said: "Since my southern scholar clan is willing to follow His Royal Highness the King of Wei, from today onwards, my southern scholar clan will naturally fully support His Royal Highness the King of Wei to ascend to the throne, but we hope that after His Royal Highness the King of Wei ascends to the throne, the head of the hundred officials of the Tang Dynasty Shangshu left servant, my southern scholar clan naturally does not dare to ask for extravagance, but this Shangshu right servant shoots the position, we hope that His Royal Highness the King of Wei can appoint the officials of my southern scholar clan, and among the middle book, the door, and the six departments, there must also be an official of my southern scholar clan to serve as the main post or deputy position." In addition, we in the south also hope that after His Royal Highness King Wei ascends to the throne again, he will be able to ensure that His Royal Highness the King of Shu will be prosperous and rich for a lifetime, and be a prince of peace. After all, His Royal Highness the King of Shu was the object of my southern clan's support before, and he was our old master. And we and the southern warriors under our command are not ruthless and unrighteous people. ”

Cen Wenwen's words made Cui Gan and Lu Chengqing frown.

As long as the southern scholars give up supporting Li Ke, the king of Shu, and instead support His Royal Highness the King of Wei, then Li Ke, the king of Shu, will be completely abolished without any threat. His Royal Highness the King of Wei ascended the throne, and Li Ke, the King of Shu, is a wasted person, and the King of Wei will naturally give him glory and wealth while closely monitoring the King of Shu in secret, so that he can enjoy peace in peace, which is no problem. But after Cen Wenwen let His Royal Highness King Wei ascend to the throne. The reuse of officials from the southern scholar clan gave Cui Gan and Lu Chengqing a headache. As we all know, the Central Committee of the Tang Dynasty implements the "Three Provinces and Six Ministries System", and there are so many positions in the three provinces and six ministries, Cui Gan and Lu Chengqing are also selected in their hearts, most of them are from the wealthy clan in Shandong. Cui Gan and Lu Chengqing both felt that Cen Wenwen's requirements were too strict and difficult for them to accept.

Cen Wenwen stood up and smiled slightly: "Master Cui, Master Lu." Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, this Guanlong aristocratic group, whether it is following Emperor Taishang Taiyuan to raise troops, or assisting the current son to launch the Xuanwumen Change. Achieving a great position is a great achievement. The Guanlong aristocratic group took the lead twice, took the advantage, and won the absolute trust of the Emperor Taishang and the current son. has obtained extremely rich political returns, and now it is still far more than your Shandong Hao clan and our southern Shi clan, and has become the first of the three major political forces in the world.

Now the situation in my Tang court. Just like the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, the Guanlong aristocratic group was the Cao Wei regime, your Shandong Hao clan was the Shu Han regime, and the weakest Shi clan in my south was the Sun Wu regime. If my Southern Shi clan joins forces with your Shandong Hao clan, our strength will surpass that of the Guanlong aristocratic group and be in a strategic advantage; And if my southern scholar clan and your Shandong Hao clan are at odds, or if they go their own way, then we can only be broken by the Guanlong aristocratic group and annexed one by one. Two paths, two different results, the text hopes that Lord Cui and Lord Lu will consider it carefully. ”

Cen Wenwen's words shocked Cui Gan and Lu Chengqing, they knew that what Cen Wenwen said was the truth, and the Guanlong nobles had made two correct choices after supporting the Taishang Emperor Li Yuan to raise troops in Taiyuan and assisting the current son to launch the Xuanwumen Rebellion, and they had made two correct choices, and they had become the head of the three major political forces in the entire world. As long as the Guanlong aristocratic group assists the crown prince Chengqian to succeed in ascending to the throne, the strength of the Guanlong aristocratic group will inevitably skyrocket again, overpowering the alliance of the Shandong Hao clan and the southern Shi clan. At that time, even if the Shandong Hao clan and the Southern Shi clan unite, it will be too late, and they will not be able to fight the Guanlong aristocratic group. What's more, the head of the Guanlong aristocracy is the eldest grandson Wuji - that ruthless and vicious person, for the sake of the stability of the power of the Guanlong aristocratic group, and for his eldest grandson Wuji himself to hold power, he will inevitably exterminate the Shandong Hao clan and the southern Shi clan and eradicate it by the root. Shandong wealthy family, which has been inherited for thousands of years, Cui Gan and Lu Chengqing are not willing to give up the family inheritance in their own hands.

Cui Gan and Lu Chengqing gritted their teeth and made up their minds: "Okay, when His Royal Highness King Wei ascends to the throne, I will do what Lord Cen and Lord Xiao requested." Now we are still working together to bring down the crown prince Chengqian, and we can no longer give the Guanlong aristocratic group a chance to develop and grow. ”

Cen Wenwen and Xiao Yu said with a smile: "With the words of Lord Cui and Master Lu, we will be relieved." From today on, my southern scholar clan and your Shandong Hao clan will join forces to overthrow the crown prince Chengqian, and work together to assist His Royal Highness King Wei to ascend the throne. ”

Soon, Cen Wenwen and Xiao Yu said goodbye and left.

In the hall, only Cui Gan and Lu Chengqing were left.

Lu Chengqing asked Cui Gan: "Lord Cui, do you think what Cen Wenwen and Xiao Yu said will be deceitful?" Do they have any plans in the south? ”

Cui Gan said with a smile: "Lord Lu, Li Ke, the king of Shu, is smart and heroic, but his identity has always been a concubine, how can he compare to my Royal Highness the King of Wei?" Even if the crown prince Chengqian falls, it will be His Royal Highness the turn of King Wei, why can't it be his turn to be the king of Shu? Besides, the Southern Shi clan is the former Sui Dynasty, and the forces that suddenly emerged are all composed of the descendants of the Southern Song, Qi, Liang, Chen royal family, and important ministers, how can it compare to the strength of the Shandong Hao clan that I have inherited for thousands of years? Li Ke, the king of Shu, and the Southern Shi clan are so strong, what kind of climate can they become? Cen Wenwen and Xiao Yu are also smart, knowing that the King of Shu will not be able to achieve great things, so they took the initiative to take refuge in His Royal Highness the King of Wei.
