The current situation and the words of the head of the family forced them to finally try to let go of those prejudices and obstacles, and try to look at the woman objectively who is indeed impossible to ignore.

However, even after discussing this for nearly an hour, even though the Cui family had put away their contempt for Chang Suining, their attitude still did not shake fundamentally.

A large part of this is due to the fact that they have never considered women before. If they are willing to support women, wouldn't it be more justifiable to choose the eldest princess of Xuan'an as soon as possible?

In comparison, this Chang Sui Ning is even just a woman with a foreign surname who has an unknown background, and she has no advantage in her origin.

In this world, how important is the word orthodoxy? Otherwise, why did Duan Shiang have a heavy army, why did he have to choose to follow Li Fu, the king of Fanyang, and give up the opportunity to be self-reliant?

And their Cui family established the world with etiquette and law, in today's situation, in a sense, choosing the children of the Li family instead of the "anti-thief" in the eyes of the world is naturally more beneficial to their face and reputation.

Under such considerations, everyone couldn't help but shake their heads when they mentioned Chang Suining's background.

What the Lu clan wanted, many clansmen also grasped it for a long time.

He trusted the virtues of the head of the Lu family, although many times, their opinions were not the same.

In the midst of the noise of the rain, an old man with silver hair trembled and stood up and said, "The old man agrees with the proposal of the head of the family. ”

So, it's not that he didn't plan earlier, but he knew very well that some things would never be negotiable.

Lu Shi looked at the old head of the family and thought about his many plans, but he couldn't help but redden.

Father's intention is to show favor to King Rong first, and after King Rong tries to get Liulang and others out of trouble, the Cui family will make the matter of dividing the clan clear to the outside world...... In this way, it is equivalent to taking advantage of King Rong.

Outside the hall, the sound of rain became louder, and the bean-like raindrops fell from the eaves, and those raindrops fell one by one, as if with a desperate determination, they smashed themselves into countless water drops, and then silently merged into the rain.

When the general trend comes, when the qi is about to run out, it is always difficult to resist, because they are so large, in contrast, the will of the individual is often so small that before he can make a sound, he will be overwhelmed in an instant.

Cui Ju: "Divide the Cui family into two, half of them support King Rong Li Yin, and half of them help Chang Suining of Huainan Province." ”

"I'm ...... too"

"Those rumors about his life experience may not be Chang Suining secretly building momentum for himself......" As the old man spoke, his old eyes looked at everyone, although he claimed to be guessing, his tone was almost determined-

But when this girl appeared, even though she was a girl, the head of the family still made a decision without hesitation.

Moreover, Taiyuan is always the territory of the rebel son, even if the rebel son has not been expelled from the clan, but his wife is only a stepmother, she has such an identity, how can she be at ease and calm in Taiyuan compared to being in Beijing?

But...... Lu Shi would not want to come to her, she has a soft temperament, she is not a smart person, she is used to relying on him for everything, how can she be separated from him?

Lu Shi knelt down and almost cried with joy: "Daughter-in-law, thank you father for your success!" ”

But Cui believes that Rong Wangding has also expressed his intention to "help each other" to the Lu family.

"How they decide in the end, the Cui family will not interfere." Cui Ju looked at his daughter-in-law and said, "You are only responsible for delivering the message, and no matter what the Lu family decides after that, if you want, you can take Tang'er all the way north to Taiyuan, and you don't have to return to Beijing." ”

It's just that the head of the family probably didn't think at that time that the path chosen by Da Lang and Rokuro for the clan would eventually lead to a little girl.

"Even if she can borrow the name of the Li family, in comparison, it is still more secure for the Rong Wang faction."

Seeing his wife step forward, kneeling down at his father with red eyes, Cui Xun's brows were slightly relaxed, and he decided that she must express her intention to stay in Beijing-

Lu Shi was stunned for a moment.

Moreover, Chang Suining's previous 7 million yuan in the northern border was widely spread, so people in the world speculated that his origin may have hidden secrets...... And this hidden secret, many people have guessed that it is about the adoption of the former prince Li Xiao back then. ”

"We here today, including me, Cui Ju, have never experienced a major storm or a change of dynasty since I was born......" Cui Ju looked at everyone, and there was a solemn look between his eyebrows: "So I'm afraid we have forgotten one thing, that is, the reason why Cui's family has been able to stand tall for hundreds of years from its origin to Xuanhe has never relied on the word gambling." ”

"I wish it according to the arrangement of the head of the family."

After making a decision, they have no time to grieve.

Cui Xun, who had nothing to say, also lowered his head, slowly raised his hands that seemed to weigh a thousand catties, and bowed deeply.

In the final analysis, the cohesion of the clan lies in the unity of interests, and once they go their separate ways because of following interests, people's hearts are separated, and then it is impossible to get together! Therefore, this split is a split in the true sense!

If the Cui family wants to survive, they can only let the people on this ship get off the ship and evacuate in different directions in batches, so as to have the possibility of preserving the fire.

Cui Ju: "In this way, even if Li Yin and Chang Sui Ning will have a day of life-and-death confrontation, my Cui family can not die." ”

There is no doubt about the foresight and good intentions of the head of the family. It's just that the Cui family's ship is indeed too big, and as the head of the family, he can't control the direction of it, so he can only divide it into small boats to make a living.

Cui Xun's eyes trembled slightly.

"Even if King Rong is dissatisfied, he can't intervene in this matter." Cui said: "The Cui family needs King Rong, but King Rong also needs the Cui family." Today, half of the Cui clan is willing to help him succeed, as long as he rescues the thirty children of my Cui family in exchange, even if he knows in advance, there is no reason to choose and refuse. ”

The Duke of Lu in Cui's mouth is the uncle of the Lu family and the current head of the Lu family.

If her father didn't mention it, she, as the wife of the Cui family, would naturally not be able to speak, but her father chose to take the initiative to fulfill her.

"What's more, it's a woman's body......"

"Led by Liulang, the clansmen and their relatives who are now in Taiyuan will all be used by Chang Suining." Cui said: "We will work with King Rong." ”

This sentence brought silence back to the hall.

"Therefore, I guess that this woman's background may be related to the Li family."

Including the head of the family who decisively expelled Da Lang from the clan at the beginning, and even the head of the family let Liulang enter the country to make friends with his classmates...... Perhaps from a long time ago, the head of the family was preparing for the separation of the Cui family and seeking another way out for the Cui family.

Cui Xun was also stunned for a moment, and immediately felt that it was inappropriate, the Lu family was his wife, and he should regard his husband as the sky, even if he was divided, he should follow him...... He has no son, how can he even go to Taiyuan with his wife and daughter?

"Head of the house...... Is this to split Choi's? The clansmen all looked shaken, and someone asked for a moment: "I don't know how the head of the family wants to split it?" ”

After a while, another middle-aged clansman left his seat, came to the hall, and raised his hand upwards to cast: "I am also willing to agree." ”

Or rather, she intends to be related to the Lee family.

From beginning to end, their voices were not high, and they did not have the slightest strength to suppress and frustrate, but what they made was an unprecedentedly important decision.

At least half of them can be kept alive.

Xingyang Zheng is the best example.

In many cases, it is extremely difficult for people to change after they have gained benefits with some awareness and perseverance...... Even if the honey of the past has become arsenic today, few people can jump out of it immediately.

At this moment, dozens of Changsam clansmen stood in the hall together, following the decision of the head of the family.

Cui Xun's face fluctuated.

Cui said: "Tomorrow, you will leave Beijing with Tang'er, take my handwritten letter, and go to Lu's house in Ningzhou, in the name of visiting relatives, to see Lu Gong." ”

More and more people are standing up.

Tears gleamed in the corners of Lu's eyes, and it was the luck of the Cui family to have such a wise and decisive helmsman.

Cui Ju did not look gloomy, or rather, the reaction of the clansmen at the moment was expected by him.

There was an uproar in the hall because of this, but everyone only had to think carefully to understand that the guess of the head of the family did not come out of thin air.

After Fang Cai's many analyses of Chang Suining, the Cui clan couldn't deny this statement at the moment, and their expressions were solemn for a while, waiting for the next words of the head of the family.

Lu's spirit lifted slightly, and he stepped forward to give a blessing: "Family master." ”

Compared with the Cui family, the Lu family has always been more inclined to King Rong, and many clansmen in private have been used by King Rong.

"But the head of the house...... Do we really want to give up the way out of King Rong for the sake of a woman? Most of the people still hesitated: "Is this too risky?" ”

At the end, Cui Ju looked at the woman standing in the corner: "Lu's-"

Cui Xun stood in place, his head buzzing.

"I have a guess about the origin of this Chang family Suining." At this time, Cui Ju's voice sounded again: "Although Ling An did not say it explicitly in the letter, I think it is impossible for him to compare Chang Suining with the former prince Li Xiao for no reason——"

Many things are like a mountain that cannot be removed in just one generation.

However, what he has to do today is not to choose one of the two—

"Father!" Cui Xun's heart beat wildly: "That's it...... Isn't it the same as breaking an arm and breaking a bone! ”

Cui Ju's eyes were sharper at the moment: "Constantly, how can you live?" ”

The pain of splitting up the bones is certainly unbearable, but the danger of the destruction of the whole clan is by no means something they can bear.

The collapse of the current situation, the hearts of the people that cannot be changed, and the combination of the two is the so-called general trend and qi.

Listening to those unabated objections, Cui Xun looked at his father, and he also wanted to speak.

Even if the Cui clan after the split is destined to be weakened again and again, and even after many years, it can no longer survive as a noble warrior, but at least it can withstand the impact of the torrent of the general trend and maintain a long-term vitality.

“……”

Although he admired Chang Sui Ning's talent and was willing to trust Ling An's judgment, he also couldn't deny King Rong's ability and advantages.

Moreover, in the strict sense, Cui Ju could not assert right and wrong in advance, and he did not have the ability to predict the future.

Let them choose Chang Sui Ning, although they are unwilling, but if they really choose King Rong, they have to worry about Chang Sui Ning's existence...... But if, as the head of the family said, bet on both sides, these hidden worries can be eliminated.

The painstaking efforts and layout of the head of the family have long been traced.

Cui Yi looked at the people with different expressions, and his tone seemed to carry the sound of wind and rain outside the hall: "The Cui family has long been like a giant ship that is about to perish, unable to move its direction, and a storm in exchange for a wrong decision can completely overturn it......"

"After that, he said to the outside world, Liulang took the people to leave Qinghe, violated the ancestral teachings, and went to Taiyuan Cui Jing, and has set up his own door——" Cui said: "Since then, it has been separated from my Jingshi Cui clan, and it has nothing to do with it." ”

For a moment, he met the gaze one after another, and said clearly: "And there are people like Chang Suining, if we choose King Rong, it will also be a big gamble." ”

The hall slowly fell into a strange silence, and the disagreement was no longer noisy.

At this moment, she suddenly understood something.

"Please think twice."

Cui said slowly: "On top of this gamble, the only way to survive is to bet on both sides." ”

Cui Xun's eyes widened slightly, and he immediately asked, "What does my father mean ......?"

Choosing Chang Sui Ning is subversive for most people in the clan. This subverts not only their perceptions, but also all the inherent benefits of the ritual laws of men and women that they have admired for thousands of years.

Cui is absolutely convinced that if he insists on choosing Chang Suining, there will be no shortage of people in the clan who will die with their ambitions.

- Two sides bet?!

Cui said: "I will explain the Cui family's decision to Lu Gong in the letter." ”

Cui Ju did not deny it: "If you choose Chang Sui Ning now, it is a big gamble." ”

Led by Liulang, there are also those clansmen in Taiyuan...... In this way, the father also handed over Rokuro and them to the hands of the rebel.

I don't know how long it took, it seemed that all the clansmen had stood up, Cui Xun raised his head and looked at his father, and said in a hoarse voice: "But in this case...... Will it attract the displeasure of King Rong after that? ”

The father knew everything, saw everything, and knew that what she wanted to do most as a mother at the moment was to take one of her children and look for her other two children.

Cui Ju quickly explained what he was going to do in the future, and the clansmen all listened carefully and responded solemnly.

So far, no one in the church has any objections.

"Although this woman started quickly, it was too late after all......"

Fan Yang, the origin of the Lu family, which is also among the five major scholar clans, is where Li Fu started the incident, and most of the clansmen who stayed in Fan Yang were controlled by Fan Yangjun, and the situation of the Lu family seemed to be more tense than that of the Cui family.

In this way, they were also able to conclude that Najiang Du Chang Sui Ning was indeed ambitious......

As the head of the Cui family, he certainly has the right to make decisions, but this does not mean that he can go against the wishes and interests of most people and do things that he insists on doing - such a head of the family will not be recognized, and he will naturally lose his qualifications for decision-making.

When Lu kowtowed, tears almost rained down.

“？！” Cui Xun looked at his wife in disbelief - so, he was given up by her without hesitation?
