Cui Shu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "The princess asked really directly. ”

Xiao Lingjiang shrugged slightly: "You are a smart person, as far as you are concerned, the roundabout temptation is just a layer of tulle to cover up, and the mystery inside is clear at a glance." In that case, why should I waste that time and energy, I might as well ask calmly. ”

"Then I have to thank the princess for her praise." The corners of Cui Shu's lips curled slightly, and he was not offended by her straightforward question, but a smile appeared on his face.

Everyone else said that he was a simple gentleman and had the style of a celebrity, but after all, he was carefully cultivated by the family, and after that elegance, he should have a lot more scheming than others.

Xiao Lingjiang invited him to a banquet, not just to catch him and wash the dust, but to inform everyone through this banquet that she had recovered, and it was also a response to what he said when he visited "Princess Yong'an" that day.

It's just a tacit understanding of each other.

As for the conversation after the resignation, it seems that it is at his request, but it is better to say that it is also in her arms.

Governor Liangzhou and relief to the disaster area, although there is a risk of smashing, but as long as there is no accident, it will definitely be easier to make merit.

Naturally, there are countless people in the DPRK and China staring at such an errand, whether it is the main envoy or the deputy envoy, all the people of all departments can be said to have broken their heads.

He was an official for a short time, and his official position in the DPRK and China was not obvious, but he easily won the post of deputy envoy, and the help of the Cui family was indispensable behind him.

Xiao Lingjiang has been away from Yingdu for a long time.

Although there are characters such as the eldest princess and Zhou Yun of the Criminal Department behind the He family, they are outsiders in the end.

As for the He clan, after the change of Linchuan, only He Xiangshan and He Poet are available. And the only heir under He Xiangshan's knees can't speak, and he is still young. And He Shiren has always been unruly, traveling around, and he can hardly help him in the government.

Although there are already two juniors in the He family who have entered the court as officials, the time is still short and they cannot play any role in the court.

What really supports the He family is nothing more than He Xiangshan himself and a Xiao Lingjiang.

Since ancient times, there has been no way back. In the eyes of the world, Princess Xiao of Yong'an ordered Jiang to go to Xifan, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to set foot in the boundary of Yingdu.

In such a situation, how can the rest of the forces not be ready to move? And Xiao Lingjiang can not be more vigilant?

The Li family is one, and the Cui family is an opponent that should not be underestimated.

For her concerns, of course Cui Shu knew.

He didn't answer, but asked rhetorically: "Does the princess know that throughout the ages, the imperial power has changed and the dynasty has fallen, why is there a family that has survived for hundreds of years?" ”

Xiao Ling Jiang's eyebrows moved slightly, and said: "Since ancient times, the clans have married and tied each other to each other, so that they are intertwined with each other and support each other, and they are naturally more able to resist wind and rain and thunder. ”

"And the children of the family are born with more opportunities than ordinary people. There is no need to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation, and education such as learning poetry, governing the country and seeking government, and the art of cavalry and archery is much better than ordinary people. ”

"Compared to sword and martial arts, knowledge is absolute power. The clan has mastered the top resources, and can continue to cultivate excellent children, and these children will further bring more benefits and glory to the family. In this way, the cycle repeats, and the family naturally endures. ”

"Just like Cui Langjun......" Xiao Lingjiang tilted his head slightly and looked at Cui Shu, "He has an elegant demeanor and is full of knowledge and talent, although it is because of his own intelligence, he has to admit that it is also due to the cultivation of the Cui family." Similarly, the Cui family now has you, the world-famous Eleven Langjun, and the clan has the support to continue to prosper and even go further. ”

Seeing him mention himself, Cui Shu couldn't help laughing, he chuckled and nodded: "What the princess said is reasonable." However, if the Maison wants to survive for thousands of years, these are not enough. ”

"Nature." Xiao Ling Jiang bowed, "The family that can do this, although there are not many in the past, there are not many. There are very few that can really last for hundreds of years. ”

Among them, the Cui family can be said to be a Chu Qiao, from the Qinghe Cui family moved south to Jiangzhou, the Cui family has a lineage, has lasted for more than 300 years.

In the past 300 years, the imperial power has changed and dynasties have changed, but the Cui family has been able to stand tall and prosperous.

Although the He family is also a century-old family, it is far less old than the Cui family, let alone has more ups and downs in the meantime.

She reached out and took a sip of tea, and then continued: "If you want to live a dynasty and imperial power for a long time, there are two things that are very important. That is, the eye and the spectator. ”

When dynasties change, it depends on vision.

Which regime will prevail in the end? For the family, their choice must be foolproof, and at this time, secretly sending their children to different regimes is undoubtedly the best way. In this way, no matter who wins in the end, it will bring enough benefits to the family.

Behind the discerning Lord, it is often the multi-faceted calculations of the family.

When it comes to imperial power, as a family, you have to learn two words and watch from the sidelines.

The family often has the top resources, how can the emperor not be vigilant, and even lead people to covet it? For the sake of the stability of imperial power, or in order to gain power, many royal families will choose to marry with the family.

However, throughout the ages, it has been extremely dangerous to be involved in the imperial power, and if you are not careful, you will end up with a family raid.

The family is already illustrious, why do you need to wade into this pool of troubled waters and ask for hardship?

Thinking of this, Xiao Lingjiang couldn't help but sigh slowly: "When it comes to vision, He's is not bad. When it comes to the word 'spectator', He's is not as good as Cui's. ”

At the beginning, Xiao Ling Jiang's biological mother married into the royal family and became the crown princess, although he pushed the He family to the top in one fell swoop. But the fire cooked oil, that glory did not last long, the imperial power changed, and she was on her deathbed to leave the emperor with a mustard in his heart, which made the He family retreat to Linchuan and stay for fifteen years.

As for the Cui family, the daughter of the Cui family resolutely married Duan Wang as a concubine despite the obstacles of her family. Cui Huai, the head of the Cui family, simply cut off contact with his daughter. Later, when King Duan had an accident, Cui's was very affected.

Only now, the He family has re-entered the game for various reasons, and with her, the princess of Yong'an, it is impossible for the He family to stay out of the matter.

Cui Shu saw the helplessness in her eyes and said, "The He family is different from the Cui family. More than ten years ago, the He family entered the game, so there was another plan to enter the game. I believe that with the princess here, it will naturally be able to keep the He family safe. ”

"But this is not the case with the Cui family, although my grandfather and uncle are officials in the court, they have always stayed away from the battle for imperial power."

"For Cui's family, flowers are not beneficial, and long-term prosperity is what is desired. For the word 'bystander', Cui's has always done a very good job, otherwise, there would be no Cui's more than 300 years. ”

At this point, the answer to Xiao Lingjiang's previous question is also clear. (End of chapter)
