Chapter 79: The helplessness of the wealthy
Choi family.
Cui Yunzhu is already the temporary person in charge of the Cui family in the capital, but today he is standing honestly next to him, including his injured cousin Cui Yuncheng is a guest at the moment, and sitting in the middle is a forty-year-old man, this person is Cui Shigu, one of the four elders of the Cui family, because he is the third, everyone calls him Cui Sanye.
"Is the information reliable?"
Cui Sanye just arrived today, and after he came, there was a big thunder, that is, His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun was assassinated outside the city, although it was only an arrow, but this is definitely not a trivial matter.
Even if Li Chengqian was deposed, Li Xiang was still the eldest grandson of the emperor of the Tang Empire, and being assassinated was not a trivial matter.
What's more, now Li Xiang is quite used by Li Shimin, in addition to being the deputy palm seal of the Liaodong Division of the Ministry of War, he is also the deputy commander of the newly established Imperial City Division, not only the first person among the emperors and grandsons of the Tang Dynasty, but also faintly overshadowing Li Tai's scenery.
"Reliable, the people of the East Palace are already investigating the murderer everywhere."
Cui Yunzhu replied honestly, as the county magistrate of Chang'an County, it is no problem for him to collect such news, not to mention that their Cui family, as the number one wealthy family in the world, has its own set of intelligence systems.
"Don't burn the fire on us, have you ever asked the people below if they really have nothing to do with us?"
Cui Sanye said a little nervously, because the affairs in the capital were a little out of control, so the Qinghe Cui family sent him to let him fully deal with the Cui family's affairs in the capital, and Cui Yunzhu was just a clerk at this moment.
"Third master, don't worry, this matter has nothing to do with us."
Cui Yunzhu said with certainty, all the people and horses of the Cui family have been assembled, and they really want to find trouble with Li Xiang, but before they can act, Li Xiang is already in trouble, and he was happy for a while, this kid usually makes enemies everywhere, even without us, his life is extremely difficult.
"Take my post, send someone to the East Palace, and ask His Highness to come over to the palace."
After Cui Sanye said this, the two Cui Yunzhu brothers were shocked, when Cui Sanye just came, the two brothers also guessed for a while, thinking that Cui Sanye was here to call the shots for them, at least to suppress Li Xiang, let Li Xiang go over the house What does this mean?
"Third master, this kid has ruined a lot of good things for us, and the liquor I saw has no income for a month, what are you talking about with him?"
Cui Yunzhu had already been excluded as an heir when he was young, which was not unreasonable, looking at this guy's eagerness, Cui Sanye also shook his head speechlessly.
"The times are different, when the Tang Dynasty was first established, the imperial court had a lot of places that relied on us, so we could do things too much, and we could even press His Majesty, but now Datang has achieved the peace of the country and the people on the surface, if we make trouble, the chance of success is not great, so we also have to change our strategy."
Cui Sanye said helplessly, the best thing to say is to change the strategy, and the bad thing is to surrender slowly.
For these families, they don't want the peaceful development of society, because such development is not conducive to their growth of strength, only when the society is in turmoil, and those in power need to rely on them, then their position will be higher and higher, and they have been taking this as their goal over the years, creating all kinds of bloody storms in Datang, but Li Shimin's strength is strong enough to disintegrate all their plans, and Datang began to slowly get better.
"Then we'll put up with them?"
Cui Yunzhu said with some reluctance, in the confrontation with Li Xiang, one of the two brothers was disabled and the other was embarrassed, if they just endured it like this, the world would laugh at their Cui family.
"Didn't you see what happened at the door of the Yamen of the Ministry of War? If you come hard, how much stronger are your people than Hou Junji's people? ”
Cui Sanye said sharply, the reason why the family sent him here was because they saw Li Xiang's armed forces, if they were to fight hard, they might not be able to pick up the cheap, and if Li Xiang was bitten by the time, they would inevitably lose a piece of meat.
"What does the third master mean by inviting him here?"
Cui Yunzhu was anxious to scream, Cui Yuncheng looked at his cousin and didn't say anything, although Cui Yuncheng was injured, he could still keep his sanity at the critical moment.
"Since you can't fight, you have to be his friend, for my Cui family, there is any response plan at any time."
Cui Sanye's words revealed a lot of helplessness, in the past, if someone disobeyed them, then the Cui family would directly destroy him, but now he can only adjust his plan.
"We support his accession to the throne?"
Cui Yuncheng said with some disbelief, although he and Li Xiang had met once, but he also knew that this person was not a small character, once he ascended the throne, he might be more difficult than Li Shimin, then they would have no room to live.
"Then it depends on his attitude, if we can protect our interests, it is okay to support him, but if we implement the same policy as the current emperor, then we will have to take risks again."
After Cui Sanye's words were finished, Cui Yuncheng also understood what was going on, Cui Sanye came to the capital this time, ostensibly to deal with this endgame, but actually wanted to try Li Xiang and see what Li Xiang meant.
When facing Li Chengqian......
Cui Yuncheng felt a chill all over his body.
He didn't know what happened back then, but Li Chengqian didn't color the five surnames and seven hopes, which was also something that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty knew, could it be his leg?
"You two have lived in the family for a long time, and you always think that no one can disobey our will, and sometimes you have to look at the outside world, the eldest grandson family can cooperate with him, and we can also cooperate with him, no one will be unmoved by the political resources of the Cui family, once he gets on our boat, he will not be able to help him at that time."
Cui Sanye said with confidence, although they don't have much strength in the upper echelons of the imperial court, in the vast state capitals and counties, the power they have is extremely amazing, and all of them are on the blade.
Thinking of the huge power of the Cui family, Cui Yunzhu had a smile on his face again, but Cui Yuncheng frowned, are you really sure that he will get on the boat?
Or maybe the people themselves are a big ship, why do they need to come to your ship, and the channel is so wide, if your ship is in his way, maybe he will find a way to scuttle your ship, except for Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng, the rest of the Tang Li clan is not willing to cooperate with them......
