Yao Yi first asked Chang Suining about his thoughts on the position of Crown Princess.

Chang Suining repeated what he had just said to Cui Jing: "I have no intention of doing this."

She admitted that she had thought about the possibility of "playing the trick" last night. It would be better to just do what Minghou wished. It might be an opportunity and a shortcut for her to become this puppet——

But this idea only happened for a moment, and she was quickly rejected.

This matter is too risky and too natural. Now that I have chosen her, I have full confidence in controlling her.

And knowing that the path I have walked will never leave the possibility for others to walk it again.

Furthermore, if she chooses to be the chess piece of the Ming Dynasty, she will be destined to be the enemy of the Changsun family before the overall situation is settled. Not only will she become the target of public criticism, but also the entire General Chang's Palace and those close to her.

People will also be forced into this whirlpool.

Therefore, if there is any shortcut for her to become the crown princess, it should probably be a shortcut for early death and early reincarnation.

Taking a step back, even if it was really a good choice, she still had to reconsider it. After all, the young prince was Li Shang’s nephew with the same surname——

Although she has no bottom line, she will choose to abide by some minimum human ethics according to her own acceptance level...

Privately, she couldn't accept the idea of ​​marrying her nephew, who was related to her by blood.

Seeing her shaking her head, Yao Yi quietly breathed a sigh of relief: "That's fine, you shouldn't go into this muddy water."

He was really worried that this little girl who wanted to be famous and find her wherever there was a dangerous wall would agree to be the crown princess.

If that were the case, it would be a mess...

Yao Yi looked at Chang Kuo. Just when he was about to discuss it, he saw Chang Kuo had already stood up: "In that case, I will go see the saint now and explain this matter!"

Yao Yi was stunned: "...Is this method a bit too straightforward?"

"As long as it works!" Chang Kuo said: "Anyway, the sage has not issued an edict yet, so if I refuse as early as possible, it will not be considered a rebellion. I think I have spent most of my life without merit and hard work. If I refuse, the sage will not do it.

Will do anything by force!"

"Having said that...but if this is the case, the saint will definitely be estranged and suspicious of Changfu." Yao Yi shook his head in disapproval: "Even if we don't break up for a while, if one day we make excuses..."

This is not to say that the saint is petty, but that the emperor's heart is like this, and it is impossible to easily condone such a blatant betrayal by his ministers.

Otherwise, if everyone is like this, where is the emperor's power and how can he control his subordinates and serve the people?

"Then just demote me!" Chang Kuo disagreed: "If not, I will resign and leave Beijing and return home."

Anyway, he doesn't think he's very interesting as a hussar general.

If you can't even protect your own daughter, that would be even more meaningless!

Yao Yi sighed when he heard this: "It's easy to say that. If you really resign and leave Beijing, it will be as difficult as going to heaven to come back. How can you just say you don't want an official position that you have fought for with all your flesh and blood...

General Chang Da, you are a military general who has no choice but to cut through the mess with a sharp sword, so it’s better to let it go first.”

He sighed, and Chang Kuo stared: "If you have a better way, then tell me!"

"Aren't we discussing this..." Yao Yi waved helplessly at him: "General Chang might as well sit down first."

He stood up as tall as a mountain, and even the light was blocked by him.

Chang Sui Ning also said: "Dad, don't worry."

Just as Yao Tingwei said just now, Lao Chang's current official position was obtained by his life on the battlefield. Even though he has no real power now, a first-grade official is still a first-grade official. This official title has countless uses, and you should not do it for such things.

If you say you don’t want it, don’t.

If there is really no other way available, she should do the rejection herself, instead of letting Lao Chang step in to take on her future suspicions.

In order to make Chang Kuo give up this idea, she simply said: "If it doesn't work, I will go back and pick a few people I don't like and beat them up. Dad might as well be furious when he sees that I am so hopeless, so he

I was very sad and distraught, so in order to appease the anger of each family, I was punished to become a monk and become an aunt."

Now it was Yao Tingwei who stared: "...What are these methods?"

Ran'er of his family is still making noises about becoming a monk. He finally managed to stabilize himself. How could another one come here?

"What's wrong with becoming a nun?" Chang Sui Ning disagreed: "I will return to secular life if necessary."

In short, everything depends on what she needs to do.

Yao Tingwei: "...!"

The nunnery is her safe haven, and the Bodhisattva and Buddha in the nunnery are her shield!

Xi'er couldn't help but whispered: "Girl, this method sounds like it takes some merit... I wonder if the merit we accumulated in Dayun Temple last time is enough?"

But if the girl is determined to do this, she will risk her life to help the girl accumulate enough merit!

Chang Sui Ning doesn't care much.

If you have enough merit, just use it. If it's not enough, just do things according to her convenience and leave the rest to retribution.

"It's not advisable to be a sister-in-law..." Now it was Chang Kuo who came to persuade: "Ning Ning, let's discuss it again."

I always feel that this method sounds roundabout, but is actually more exciting than his.

Suddenly, he understood a little bit how Yao Tingwei felt when he persuaded him just now.

At this time, Cui Jing, who had been listening quietly, spoke.

"It's better for me to come forward and ask the saint for marriage——"

Chang Kuo and others all looked at him.

"Marriage?"

"Who do you want to marry?"

Cui Jing looked at Chang Sui Ning and said calmly: "Give me a marriage to the girl from your mansion."

Chang Sui Ning was stunned.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

Xi'er trembled and covered her mouth.

Chang Sui'an's eyes were about to run away from home: "Cui, Commander Cui..."

"At that time, I will ask the saint for marriage in front of everyone." Cui Jing looked at Chang Sui Ning and said: "When the saint asks, you only need to refuse on the grounds that I have no intention of doing so."

Xi'er's hand covering her mouth trembled again - rejecting Governor Cui? This may be included in the girl's record!

Cui Jing continued: "In this case, I will not force you to agree, but I will express my position in front of everyone. I will wait until you are interested. I will not marry anyone except you in this life."

Chang Suining was almost stunned.

Will his sacrifice be too great?

Chang Sui Ning was not the only one who was stunned. After Cui Jing finished speaking, the room was still silent for a while.

Until Chang Sui'an suddenly stood up.

"Wait a minute..." Chang Sui'an swallowed nervously and looked at Cui Jing: "Let me first... let me confirm with Governor Cui that the above are expedient measures to help Ning Ning get out of trouble.

It’s just a show, it’s all fake, right?”

This is really important to him!

There was no need for Cui Jing to answer, Chang Kuo said first: "Nonsense, otherwise!"

Can this kind of thing be true?

Why did he give birth to such a stupid son... Sure enough, he still let her!

"Oh, haha..." Changsui An laughed twice and relaxed: "It's okay then."

He thought that Governor Cui really wanted to be his brother-in-law!

It scared him half to death and made him sweat.

Seeing the young man wiping the sweat from his forehead and sitting back, Cui Jing felt a little subtle: "..."

Yao Tingwei came to his senses for a moment, his eyes brightened: "This method is very wonderful."

In this way, the Chang family and Suining will hardly be affected in any way.

but……

Yao Tingwei looked at Cui Jing with some conscience: "But in this case, will the saint feel that Cui Dadu has violated the holy will?"

"I have never made any request to the saint in these years -" Cui Jing said: "Showing his selfishness and weakness is not necessarily a bad thing."

Yao Tingwei thought for a while and understood.

The saint was not without fear towards Governor Cui, because this young man had almost no selfishness or weakness at all.

When such a person is used, it is most likely to make the king feel uneasy.

Losing an undecided candidate for the Crown Princess and getting an important minister with military power showed weakness. As the young man said just now, this is not necessarily a bad thing from the perspective of a saint.

The pros and cons of things are always weighed. If someone else does the same thing, it would be suspected of resisting the order. But if Cui Jing, a minister with great power, does it, it is feasible.

When a person has enough power as a bargaining chip, he can act as he pleases out of selfish motives, and he can occasionally "disregard the overall situation". This is also a kind of privilege.

Or why do people like to climb up?
