The rain finally fell, first a few scattered raindrops ticked on the ground, splashing bursts of fine dust, and then, a thick lightning bolt pierced the dark and dreary sky, a thunderclap exploded, the downpour rainfell from the sky, the bean-sized raindrops hit the tile surface heavily, and a dense "crackling" sound broke out, and the air was full of a slightly fishy freshness, which swept away the boredom of the Beijing division without rain for days.

"Is it raining? Maybe this rain is long overdue! Hearing the thunderous explosion, the eldest grandson Chengliang, who had been sitting silently, let out a sigh, picked up the wine bottle in front of him with one hand, and drank the full bottle of wine in one breath, and then paused the wine bottle heavily on the small man, looked sideways at the window, and muttered in his mouth.

Hearing the eldest grandson Chengliang's chattering sound as if talking to himself, Cui Ze secretly breathed a sigh of relief, without him, since he called the eldest grandson Chengliang to find it, saying that he was going to drink, and now it has been a whole hour, the eldest grandson Chengliang has never said a word, he has not even moved, he has not drunk wine, and he has not said a word and blindly sat there in a daze, so the look of losing his soul makes people feel pity when he looks at it, although Cui Ze knows very well what the eldest grandson Chengliang is worried about, but Cui Ze, who is a child of the family, did not say a word to persuade him, After all, there are some things that outsiders can't persuade, even if they are close friends, so Cui Ze didn't speak, just raised the wine bottle indifferently, took a sip gently, and looked at the eldest grandson Chengliang silently.

"Zi Zhan, I really envy your Cui family, they are also from the same family, but you can choose your own master, but ...... Alas! This is also a misfortune! The eldest grandson Chengliang sighed, shook his head with a wry smile, and couldn't say any more.

Cui Ze was born in the Cui family of Qinghe, is one of the eight hopes, a famous family, the children of his family into the court as officials, although they are not a prominent official position, but the victory is in a large number, not to mention the local officials in various states, there are more than 20 court officials alone, the interesting thing is: these children of the Cui family actually belong to different camps, except for the Yue King Li Zhen There are no one at the end of the princes, all the princes have the children of the Cui family around, the eldest grandson Chengliang said this is what he said, of course, such things seem strange, in fact, it is very simple, Left and right is just the survival of the great family - not putting all the eggs in one basket is the only way to ensure the safety of the family!

"Brother Cheng Liang, why did he say this, could it be Lord Situ ......" Although Cui Ze had already guessed that the eldest grandson Cheng Liang must have had a conflict over which prince he supported, he still pretended not to know and asked tentatively.

"Well, don't mention it!" The eldest grandson Chengliang sighed distressedly, picked up the wine jug, filled the wine bottle in front of himself and Cui Ze, picked up the wine bottle, looked at Cui Ze and said, "Come, drink, a certain Xitu is drunk today, and Zi Zhan Keken accompanies him?" ”

"Brother Cheng Liang, why are you suffering, although you can relieve a thousand sorrows when you get drunk, but you don't know that you have to worry more and more after waking up, if you don't think that the little brother is shallow and deep, and let the little brother try to see if he can unlock the block in Brother Cheng Liang's heart?" Cui Ze smiled indifferently, also picked up the wine bottle, and said gently.

"Good! Readily! The eldest grandson Chengliang raised his head and drank all the wine in the bottle, lit up the bottom of the bottle and said: "A certain Su Zhi Zi Zhan can make a good decision, so today I will ask Zi Zhan to make a discussion for a certain one!" ”

Cui Ze smiled, drank all the wine in the bottle, and didn't speak, just sat upright, looking at the eldest grandson Chengliang with a listening posture.

"Brother Zizhan, in your opinion, who can rise to the top in today's court situation?" The eldest grandson Chengliang took a deep breath, looked at Cui Ze with blazing eyes, and asked with a hint of excitement.

Eldest Sun Chengliang's question is not easy to answer, if he opens his mouth casually, and one accidentally leaks out, it is a fatal thing, it is still a trivial matter if his career is not guaranteed, if he is unlucky, he is afraid that his life may not be guaranteed, Cui Ze is a smart person, how can he not see this, and he was silent for a while.

"That's it, Zizhan doesn't want to say it, and he doesn't force it." Seeing that Cui Ze didn't speak for a long time, the eldest grandson Chengliang was suddenly a little deflated, and hung his head and said a word, his face full of loss.

Cui Ze naturally heard that the eldest grandson Chengliang's words were to capture the old man, but he still said very sincerely: "Brother Cheng Liang misunderstood, it's not that the younger brother doesn't want to say it, this matter is a long story, if Brother Cheng Liang wants to hear it, the younger brother will tell it out." ”

"Zizhan, please speak, listen to it." As soon as he heard Cui Ze's willingness to speak, the eldest grandson Chengliang immediately raised his head and looked at Cui Ze with a look of anticipation.

Cui Ze pondered for a while, and said slowly: "Although the situation in the court is chaotic now, it is actually clear, all kinds of chaos are just tricks, the root cause is in the position of the East Palace, from the saint to the princes, everyone is the candidate for the prince who has been vacant for more than a month, but there is a plan here." Cui Ze said this, paused, organized the language, and then continued: "Since ancient times, the establishment of a grandson is the foundation of etiquette, as far as the identity is concerned, now the eldest son is abolished, the rest of the sons are nothing more than the King of Wei, the King of Jin The two royal highnesses, the King of Jin is cowardly and incompetent, not the hope of the king, the King of Wei is deeply relevant, and he has the grace of the saint, he should be the best candidate for the prince, and it should be a logical thing for him to enter the East Palace. The two kings of Yue have become a joint force, even if the saint has the heart to establish the king of Wei, there will be a feeling of throwing a rat taboo, this is the reason why the position of the East Palace has been hanging for a long time, what does Brother Cheng Liang think? ”

"Yes, what Zi Zhan said is very true, and a certain person also thinks so, but what he doesn't understand is: His Royal Highness the King of Wei is obviously in the upper hand now, why not seize the initiative and launch the ministers to write to the public first, but to make the two kings of Wu and Yue stir up trouble in the court. The eldest grandson Chengliang thought about it carefully, nodded and agreed, but raised the doubts again.

As soon as he heard the words of the eldest grandson Chengliang, the corners of Cui Ze's mouth curved, and he immediately laughed, laughing so that the eldest grandson Chengliang was a little confused, and looked at Cui Ze in a daze, his face full of inquiry.

"Brother Cheng Liang asked well, the reason why the King of Wei did not take the lead is actually for three reasons, one is the holy will, if the saint has the heart to set up the King of Wei as the prince, he will make a will early in the morning, and he will not cause so many incidents, according to a certain point of view, the Holy Lord will not automatically choose the King of Wei, there are two reasons: one is that the King of Wei is slightly narrow-minded and has no room for people, and the other is that there are better candidates among the kings, for the sake of the foundation of the Tang Dynasty, His Majesty has to think more......" As soon as Cui Ze's words were said here, the face of the eldest grandson Chengliang immediately changed color, Clenched his fists tightly, his eyes sprayed with anger and hatred interrupted: "Zi Zhan is talking about that dog thief!" ”

The eldest grandson Chengliang's hatred for Li Zhen, the king of Yue, gave Cui Ze a headache, but he couldn't persuade him, so he had no choice but to shake his head and smile bitterly: "Yes, that person is indeed His Royal Highness the King of Yue, without talent and martial arts, His Royal Highness the King of Yue is not only second to none among the princes, but also the Tang Dynasty can't find a few characters who can compete with it, regardless of whether the saint wants to make him the prince, but it is not the king of Yue who will ascend the throne in the future, this Tang Dynasty will definitely have a catastrophe, this article is not only clear to the saint, but also the king of Wei must have a number in his heart, therefore, The reason why King Wei delayed the launch, in addition to the holy will, the main thing is that King Wei wanted to take advantage of this good opportunity to completely abolish the kings of Wu and Yue. ”

"Huh? What did Zi Zhan mean by this? Why can't I understand? The eldest grandson Chengliang saw that Cui Ze suddenly led the topic to himself, and he was stunned, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a while, and he thought silently for a while, but he didn't come up with a solution, so he had to ask.

"Huh." Cui Ze smiled incomprehensibly, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Brother Cheng Liang really doesn't understand?" ”

The eldest grandson Chengliang glanced at Cui Ze angrily, and said curtly; "I don't understand, Zi Zhan still said it clearly, and he really didn't have the intention to guess the word puzzle."

"Okay, then let's just say it, the third reason why His Royal Highness King Wei didn't launch in advance is because of Lord Situ!" Cui Ze smiled, looked at the eldest grandson Chengliang with blazing eyes, and revealed the mystery word by word.

"This, how is this possible?" The eldest grandson Chengliang knows his own affairs - the eldest grandson Wuji has been a prime minister for many years, and he is very favored by Li Shimin, and his power in the opposition is also quite huge, but after all, he is not a minister of power, and in terms of official position, it is still worse than Fang Xuanling, who is the prime minister, and the eldest grandson Wuji is very little in charge of politics, and he is really good in terms of political achievements, so that the eldest grandson Chengliang, who is the son of man, feels that his own son is really a useless good man, and does not regard the eldest grandson Wuji as a powerful force that can determine the movement of the court, As if the eldest grandson's family is the key to deciding to establish a prince, I can't help but be surprised, but it's unbelievable, of course, this is also normal - the father always knows his son very well, but the son often doesn't understand his father in general, this is the same in ancient and modern times, not to mention that the eldest grandson Wuji is cautious by nature and never easily confesses to others, even for his own sons, the eldest grandson Chengliang does not understand the energy of the eldest grandson Wuji is inevitable.

"What's impossible?" Cui Ze didn't care about the surprise of the eldest grandson Chengliang at all, swept his eyes at the dumbfounded eldest grandson Chengliang, and said with a smile: "Lord Situ has always been very little in charge of government, and he rarely speaks out at the court meeting. ”

"That's not true, but ......" The eldest grandson Chengliang thought about it carefully, and suddenly found that what Cui Ze said was true, but he was still not sure in his heart.

Cui Ze didn't wait for the eldest grandson Chengliang to finish speaking, and said: "Hehe, Brother Chengliang doesn't have to, what he said is true, when today's son is the most trusted is Lord Situ, I am only afraid that Ling Zun's words will be far heavier than the words of other ministers, this is an indisputable fact, the reason why His Royal Highness King Wei does not dare to move lightly is because he is afraid that Lord Ling Zun will speak out!" ”

"Perhaps." The eldest grandson Chengliang thought about it, but couldn't find a reason to refute it, so he could only nod his head, which was considered to agree with Cui Ze's idea, and after being silent for a while, he continued to ask: "Zi Zhan, in your opinion, who will my father support?" ”

"Brother Cheng Liang still hasn't figured out the key to the matter, the key is not who Lord Ling Zun will support, but who the Holy Lord will support." Seeing that the eldest grandson Chengliang had gotten into a dead end again, Cui Ze shook his head helplessly and said with a wry smile.

As soon as he heard Cui Ze say this, he seemed to have gone around the problem again, and suddenly made the eldest grandson Chengliang fall into the clouds, stunned for a long time, and didn't understand what this meant, so he had no choice but to arch his hand and said: "Zi Zhan, you just spare so-and-so, this is really in the clouds, so please say it directly." ”

"The reason why Ling Zun can be accurate in every performance is that what is said in those recitals is all the things that the saint thinks in his heart, so if the holy will is not clear, Ling Zun will never move lightly, does Brother Cheng Liang think so?" Cui Ze saw that the eldest Sun Chengliang was a little anxious, so he stopped selling Guanzi, and pointed out the key to the matter with a smile.

"Yes, that's how it should be!" The eldest grandson Chengliang let out a sigh and said: "As far as Zi Zhan can see, since the Holy Lord will not choose His Royal Highness King Wei, could it be that he must be the dog thief?" ”

"Brother Cheng Liang misheard, he just said that the saint would not take the initiative to appoint the king of Wei as the prince, how could he ever say that the saint would not establish the king of Wei? Of course, if the time continues like this, His Royal Highness the King of Wei's chances will become smaller and smaller, unless he ......" Cui Ze stopped again when he said this, as if he had any scruples.

"Unless what? Zi Zhan, you and I are like brothers, what can't be said explicitly, do you have to die as a brother in a hurry? Seeing that Cui Ze didn't speak, the eldest grandson Chengliang suddenly shouted angrily.

"Alas, it's okay, it's okay, but Brother Cheng Liang must not spread it, otherwise I'm afraid that there will be no foothold in this Jingshi land." Cui Ze was forced to sigh helplessly.

Eldest Sun Chengliang was in a hurry, raised his hand and said, "Brother Zizhan, even if you say it, you can swear to the sky and never say anything to anyone." ”

Cui Ze nodded with a wry smile and said: "Okay, then so-and-so made it clear, His Royal Highness the King of Wei wants to enter the East Palace, and even the key to clearing the kings of Wu and Yue is on Lord Ling Zun, as long as Lord Ling Zun is willing to lead the way to promote His Royal Highness the King of Wei, the courtiers will definitely think that it is the holy will, and they will definitely flock to it, and at that time, the Holy Lord can only conform to the general trend and establish His Royal Highness the King of Wei as the prince, and then considering the experience of the 'Xuanwumen Change' back then, the Holy Lord will definitely not tolerate the increasing expansion of the power of the princes, so that not only Wu, Yue Shuangwang, I am afraid that the rest of the kings will be injured a lot, and there is almost no hope of recovery! And this is the root cause of why the King of Wei appears in your mansion today. ”

"I see!" When the eldest grandson Chengliang heard this, he could be regarded as seeing the situation in Jingshi more clearly, but when he thought of Li Zhen's hatred for taking his wife, his eyes immediately flashed with stars, and after a while of panting, he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, gritted his teeth and said: "In this way, in addition to King Wei, it is very likely that the saint will choose that dog thief, hmph, although he is not talented, he can't make that insidious and cunning person usurp the throne, what should I do, and ask Brother Zizhan to plan one or two for my brother." ”

Cui Ze's face changed, and he shook his head and said, "Brother Chengliang, why are you doing this, Lord Lingzun will not agree, if it is ......"

"It's okay, if you have a certain punishment, you will never be implicated in Brother Zi Zhan, for the sake of you and I know each other, please ask Zi Zhan to bother more." The eldest grandson, Cheng Liang, stood up and bowed long.

"This ......" Cui Ze saw the eldest grandson Chengliang behaving like this, he immediately couldn't sit still, and he got up busy, trying to help the eldest grandson Chengliang, but he couldn't help him up after being helped, and the eldest grandson Chengliang stubbornly bowed and said: "Zi Zhan, if you don't say it, you can't afford it, if you want to kneel and beg each other, just kneel." As soon as the words fell, he was about to kneel on the ground, so shocked that Cui Ze hurriedly went to support the eldest Sun Chengliang, and said: "Brother Chengliang doesn't have to be like this, just say it, alas, what's the trouble?" Even if this matter is done, Ling Zun may not let go of his brother Tai if he is afraid, if so, the foolish brother really can't bear it. ”

"Whether it is for the country and the people, or for a certain person, there is no complaint or regret about what punishment should be given, Brother Zizhan, please say it clearly!" The eldest grandson Chengliang said very resolutely.

"Anyway, this matter must be cooperated by His Royal Highness King Wei, Brother Cheng Liang may wish to communicate with His Royal Highness King Wei for one or two first, and then ......, so that it can be done in one fell swoop, and the rest of the things can only be handled by Brother Cheng Liang." Cui Ze was forced to be helpless, so he had to lean down in the ear of the eldest grandson Chengliang and whispered.

"Okay, without further ado, I'll start to do it." The eldest grandson Chengliang thought about it, and after a few beats, Huo Ran got up, arched his hand at Cui Ze, said no more, turned around, and didn't care about the rain outside, and rushed into the rain curtain in a big stride, looking impatient. Looking at the back of the eldest grandson Chengliang leaving, Cui Ze's face showed a subtle smile, and that smile was full of intriguing meaning......

When there is no rain for a long time, it is a rare good thing to have a downpour, not only those farmers who rely on the sky to eat no longer have to worry about the lack of rain and affect the harvest, but the ordinary people can also be freed from the heat of many days without rain, and enjoy a rare moment of coolness in summer, but for Li Zhen, who is excited to invite beauties to travel together, it is a big thing to spoil the scenery. It's just that you can't travel, it's not bad to be able to have a warm encounter with your beloved beauty, but the rain is too heavy, and the guards all hid back in the house, and they were stunned to crowd the originally spacious post station courtyard, this time it's okay, don't say anything about Wen Cun, I just want to whisper to Pei Yan and can't find a good place, which makes Li Zhen's heart itch and scratch, but she is helpless, she can only stare dryly, that aggrieved look, it makes Pei Yan laugh non-stop, and it is easy to stay up until the rain stops, and it will be dark this day, It was about to be the time to close the city gate, and the helpless Li Zhen could only come on the spot, and ended up disappointed, not to mention how uncomfortable the depression in her heart was.

It's uncomfortable to be uncomfortable, but the situation has been unpredictable recently, and Li Zhen doesn't dare to stay up all night, besides, there is etiquette there, if it really makes people participate in a book that does not abide by the etiquette system, then the fun is not small, therefore, even if Li Zhen is reluctant, he can only go back to the house in a huff, but he never thought that he just walked into his own study, and before he could speak, he saw Na Long come forward with a trace of excitement on his face, handed a roll of paper to Li Zhen, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, it has begun!" ”

"Oh?" When Li Zhen heard this, she hurriedly reached out and took the paper roll, and when she took a closer look, she immediately showed a strange look on her face......
