What Li Nian was worried about still happened, and Chen Liu's accident happened again.

"Huzhou Thorn Shi Mabin was involved in accepting bribes for personal gain, and the transcript has also been sent to the Imperial Palace." The words of the pro-servant once again broke the peace of the Chenliu Palace.

Li Nian's face finally changed completely, he was as steady as before, and walked back and forth in the study a few times irritably: "What about Ma Binren?" ”

"The person has arrived in Chang'an, waiting for His Highness to see him, but he has already panicked and doesn't know what to do."

He was furious: "Can he confess? ”

The attendant whispered: "Ma Bin said that there is indeed such a thing in the writing of the chapter, but it is a very secret thing, I don't know how it ......."

The words of the chapter are conclusive, and it is really amazing that even how many bribes he has received and what he has done are not bad.

Li Nian closed his eyes and forcibly suppressed the anxiety in his heart.

First Chen Liu, and now Huzhou, are all attached to his state capital assassin history, and they were brought down one by one, he will never believe that this is an accident again, it is obvious that someone did it on purpose, in order to make him alone.

Thinking about it, now only the Queen of Heaven and the Crown Prince Xianwang will attack him, that is, to break his arm and hurt his roots.

But even if he knew this now, he couldn't do anything, because they used the Yushi Terrace, and the Yushi originally had the responsibility of supervising the hundred officials and rectifying the rule of officials, and Zhang Xianzhong and Ma Bin were caught by others, and they couldn't do anything about it.

But even if Ma Bin and Zhang Xianzhong are abandoned, I am afraid that it may not be the end, and the grudge between the queen and him is already impossible to solve, so how can it be easy to stop.

After all, he walked back to the couch and sat down: "Cui Jialangjun is invited?" ”

The attendant said: "It's already here, a word came in front of the mansion, and the two Langjun of the Cui family have already entered the mansion." ”

Li Nian sighed lowly: "Please come in, two Langjun." ”

By this time, he had no other choice.

Looking at Cui Lin and Cui Yi who were sitting on the couch with extraordinary demeanor, Li Nian's heart was bitter, Chen Liu and Huzhou were obtained by him after many years of hard work, Ma Bin and Zhang Xianzhong were the two most loyal among the people who depended on him, these are the forces he personally cultivated, even Cui Zheng and several great families don't know, he has always regarded it as a hole card in his hand, just so that when he ascends to the throne in the future, he will not be restrained by the family, and he can still have the capital to curb the family.

But now, he can't help but open this hole card and show the Cui family an understanding.

“…… Zhang Xianzhong and Ma Bin are both people who are attached to me, but now they are all involved, if you don't try again, I really don't know who else will be. Li Nian said in a low voice, "I didn't expect that the queen of heaven already knew about these people in my hands, so I couldn't wait to do it." ”

Cui Yi said solemnly: "The day before yesterday in the East Palace, King Xian Li Yu has been favored by King Gaochang, and if he wants to marry the princess into King Xian's Mansion, it will be impossible for the Gu family to marry King Xian's Mansion again, so I am afraid that the Queen of Heaven will be more jealous of His Royal Highness, and I am afraid that she will be even more ruthless." ”

He looked at Li Nian: "Your Highness, it's better to make plans early." ”

Cui Lin raised his head and looked at Li Nian with clear eyes: "In addition to Chen Liu and Huzhou, His Royal Highness still controls those state capitals?" ”

Li Nian's face was a little uncomfortable, but his heart was even more obscure, but at this time, he had to say, "There is also Bianzhou." ”

After all, he can only rely on the family, and it is difficult to get rid of the constraints of the family.

Cui Lin didn't speak, just nodded, his face was also calm, and he couldn't see any expression.

Li Nian couldn't help it anymore, and looked at Cui Lin: "Wulang, no matter what, please give me some guidance, what should I do now, I can't let the queen of heaven and the prince get rid of the people who are attached to me one by one!" ”

Cui Yi also looked at Cui Lin, waiting for him to speak, if someone can really turn the tide and break this situation at this time, only Cui Lin will be the only one.

Cui Lin said lightly: "Your Highness still wants to keep Chenliu, Huzhou and Bianzhou?" ”

Li Niandeng's eyes lit up, and he stared at Cui Lin: "Wulang has a way?" ”

He originally thought that even if Cui Lin made a move, he could only keep Bianzhou, after all, Chen Liu and Huzhou had already had an accident, but when he heard this, he was afraid that there was still hope.

Cui Lin said: "Only by removing rot can you build muscles, since Zhang Xianzhong and Ma Bin can no longer be saved, His Royal Highness should now recommend a suitable candidate who can replace the two, so that these two places will not fall into the hands of others during the court." ”

Li Nian was stunned for a moment and muttered, "You mean, you want to ...... But now, where can I find the right candidate? ”

He was even more helpless in his heart, the people in his hands were now all from the family, and it seemed that Chen Liu and Huzhou could only be placed in the hands of the family.

Cui Lin's expression was calm: "Your Highness is surrounded by many talents, and I think there will be suitable candidates." It's just that now it's a top priority, and His Royal Highness is afraid that he will first ask the saint to withdraw the intention of giving marriage. ”

Li Nian looked at him in shock: "Take back the edict to give marriage?" Why? ”

The corners of Cui Lin's lips hooked a shallow arc: "What Fang Cai Qilang said is the reason, Gu Qing has 100,000 male soldiers in his hands, and he has a very high status in the army, if he can help, it will indeed be of great help to His Highness." ”

"It's just that His Royal Highness has only arrived in Chang'an now, and the people who are attached to him are not Er'er, if he marries the Gu family at this time, he will become the target of everyone." Cui Lin's tone was unhurried, but the meaning of his words made Li Nian's face change suddenly: "Your Highness folded Chen Liu and Huzhou today, if you insist on it again, I am afraid that it will be difficult to keep Bianzhou and even Chang'an soon." ”

Li Nian's face turned from white to blue, looked at Cui Lin and stopped talking, and muttered for a while before he spoke again: "It's just that my marriage can't be delayed, if it is delayed any longer, I'm afraid that the queen of heaven will find a way to make decisions for me, and at that time it will really be at the mercy of others, so what should I do?" ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but think of Gu Mingzhu who said goodbye to Princess Anping and Cen Liuniang in front of the East Palace that day, she was smiling at that time, not the polite smile she was like to others on weekdays, it was a really clear and refreshing smile, and the clear and shallow smile filled the pear vortex and warmed people's hearts.

He couldn't help but be moved by that smiling face when he stood not far away, and he was willing to step forward to talk to her after looking at it for a long time.

At that time, he thought that she would be his princess and would not change again.

Pity......

Cui Lin's cold eyes seemed to see through Li Nian's thoughts, and his flat tone broke his memory: "Your Highness should know that you have thick accumulation and thin hair, and those who have been in the bush for a long time will fly high, and please ask Your Highness to think about the matter of choosing a concubine." ”

Li Nian's eyes slowly calmed down, he knew that Cui Lin was right, even if it wasn't Chen Liu's accident with Huzhou this time, the queen of heaven would not let Gu Mingzhu marry him, and would never let the Gu family become his help.

He had no choice but to give up after all.
