"And Fu Dayong is also a smart person. He probably also knew that his honor and disgrace were only between the emperor's thoughts. In order to avoid this hanging fate, when the Cen family selected him, he also firmly tied himself to the Cen family's chariot. For the sake of the second prince and the fifth prince, the Cen family will never let the emperor easily take away the military power of the Marquis of Pingnan. ”

"The relationship between them forms a delicate balance."

She looked at the three elders and saw that all three of them were shocked and lost in thought, and knew that they had listened.

She continued: "But this balance will eventually be broken. As the emperor gets older and the princes get older, the battle for the heir is about to heat up. At that time, the first thing to bear the brunt of is the binding of the Cen family and the Fu family. The crown prince must be on guard against the second prince, and he is even more regarded as a thorn in the side of Pingnanhou. If the third prince and the fourth prince want to kill the first two brothers, they may have to make a fuss between the crown prince and Ping Nanhou, provoke their contradictions, and then borrow a knife to kill people. ”

The old lady shuddered.

What she fears most in her life is the battle for succession.

Zhao Yuanxun's political acumen is stronger than that of the old lady and the Zhu family, and he has already thought deeply along Zhao Ruxi's train of thought.

He asked: "But Pingnanhou has a heavy army, so it's not easy to start, right?" ”

"Why is it so hard to start? It's so easy to get started. Zhao Ruxi said, "How can the army be monolithic?" The generals under the Marquis of Pingnan must have come from various factions and want to replace them. When the foreign enemy comes, as long as they move their hands and feet behind their backs and cut off their back roads, Pingnanhou and his son will be a dead end. ”

This time it was Zhao Yuanxun's turn to shudder.

"So marrying Fu Yunkai, not only will you not enjoy the glory and wealth, but you are likely to be sold by your family or become a widow." Zhao Ruxi said, "Once I become a widow, with the foolish nature of Mrs. Pingnanhou, do you think my life will be better?" Not to mention his confused brother and Zhao Ruyu, who has a lot of eyes. ”

"Forget it, forget it." Zhu's face turned pale with fright, "Let's live quietly and don't get involved in these court disputes." What glory and wealth? It's not like we've never seen each other. But what's the use? My daughter, I only want to be safe, and I don't want anything else. ”

She turned her head to look at Zhao Yuanxun: "Ming'er, you will refuse this family business." ”

Zhao Yuanxun nodded: "Okay." ”

After thinking about it, he asked again: "Sister Xi, why do you say that the Fu family can solve this situation if they marry you?" ”

"Because I worshipped Mr. Deadwood as my teacher. Mr. Deadwood is a Qingliu celebrity, a figure respected by civil officials, and he also has a half-teacher friendship with the emperor. With my master's short-term temperament, once I marry Fu Yunkai, how can he not protect him desperately? My three senior brothers will definitely not watch me end miserably. As long as Fu Yunkai marries me, it is equivalent to winning the support of Qingliu celebrities and civil officials. This is a layer of security. In the face of my master, the emperor is not too much to the Fu family, so he has to take care of it a little. This is another layer of protection. ”

In addition, Fu Dayong, as a poor man, was born to stand on the opposite side of the family. The family got rid of him quickly. But if his son marries the daughter of our Suiping Bofu and the apprentice of Mr. Deadwood, it can be regarded as a marriage with our Zhao family and my master's Kang family. This is a release of goodwill to the family and the ministers, and to ease the contradictions. ”

"Of course, if they marry the daughter of the family, they can also achieve this effect, and the effect is even better. But in this way, it will anger the generals and be spurned by the generals. even slapped the emperor in the face. ”

The three elders suddenly realized.

They Suiping Bofu was born as a military general and belonged to the military general camp. Fu Yunkai married Zhao Ruxi, which is equivalent to marrying the daughter of a military general. Zhao Ruxi is still the apprentice of Mr. Deadwood and the younger sister of Wu Huaisi and others. married her, not only did not offend the generals, did not slap the emperor's face, but also curried favor with Qingliu, civil officials, and families. It's really a lucrative deal.

Zhao Ruxi raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Yuanxun: "So he said that I won't marry, not because of how good I am, but because I was born in a family of military generals and worshipped Qingliu celebrities as teachers, I am the only one." ”

Zhao Yuanxun and Zhu were stunned by this analysis.

"How-how is that?" Zhu Shi muttered and looked at her husband, "Why is this person's mind so filthy and so deep?" I will never agree to this family business. ”

The corners of Zhao Ruxi's mouth hooked.

Maybe Fu Yunkai has some considerations when mentioning this family business, but he doesn't think about it so deeply.

If their father and son really had such a deep understanding of the situation, they would not have ended up like that in their previous life. A general who can fight a war is not necessarily a shrewd politician.

But that didn't stop her from taking things seriously.

She didn't say it seriously, but analyzed the three elders more deeply, she was worried that they would be deceived in the future and accidentally stepped into a minefield.

By taking advantage of Fu Yunkai's proposal to get married, he not only analyzed the situation for them and gave them a preventive shot, but also established his glorious image of "far-sightedness" and "vicious vision", and further grasped the right to speak in Suipingbo's Mansion, which is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.

As for Zhao Yuanxun's bad impression of Fu Yunkai, it was also in her arms. lest they should always want to marry her to this man.

Regardless of whether this person is good or bad, anyway, she is only fourteen years old now, and she is only a junior high school student in modern times, so it is impossible to consider getting married. Now that this person is coming to propose marriage as a high-quality stock, and the three elders are ready to move, then don't blame her for smearing.

Besides, Fu Yunkai is not wronged. He only saw her and wanted to marry her, did he really fancy her personally? Her face wasn't that big. He just took a fancy to her having Mr. Deadwood, the master, and Wu Huaisi and other three senior brothers.

For this kind of family affair with political calculations, does she still have to be grateful to Fu Yunkai?

As for saying in front of Xiao Lingyan that she wanted to marry Fu Yunkai as a widow, it was just a joke.

marrying with the purpose of "looking forward to your death", she really doesn't have such a black heart. Besides, with Xiao Lingyan here, there is a high chance that Fu Yunkai will not die, at least not in the war two years later. She has confidence in Xiao Lingyan, who is a guy with a powerful brain.

Therefore, Fu Yunkai can marry whoever he wants, don't make up your mind about her.

Zhao Ruxi saw that Zhao Yuanxun also nodded solemnly, and agreed with Zhu's statement, and then she said: "So grandmother, father, don't think about my family affairs casually." Our Suiping Bofu is finally separated from the court now, so don't mix it up anymore, so as not to accidentally lose the lives of the whole family. Just follow my master. ”
