"Huairen has a lot of contacts with the descendants of Prince Qin's family?"
"Do you think Huairen voted for the King of Qin?"
"It's so stupid, it's so stupid!"
"He is about to enthrone a single-titled heir. He has gained your majesty's trust and is on good terms with Princess Pingyang. There are many direct descendants of old generals in Hedong and Guan. What's the reason for choosing a master in advance?"
Cui Xin spit like flying stars and scolded his two sons until Cui Lun tried it out today. Cui Xin felt something was wrong and immediately pressed him. His son was still hesitant, so he simply sent someone to call Wang Renbiao.
Asked clearly.
"Father." Cui Heng said cautiously: "Second brother is just making random guesses..."
"Wang Xiaoqing has already said that you two should be more honest and not allowed to interact with Prince Qin's brother in the East Palace." Cui Xin said coldly: "We will welcome you on March 12th. After the wedding, go back to Beizhou immediately!"
Seeing his two sons leaving in frustration, Cui Xin rubbed his brows and felt very annoyed. After all, he was his son. It was a good thing to want to become an official, but he must not do it at this time. After all, his status was special, and he might be raped by the East Palace... or
He directly said that he was plotted by Pei Shiju.
If Cui Xin was confident before, even if Pei Shiju succeeded, he would not be in any danger. But after Pei Shiju's only son died in Huating, Cui Xin was a little unsure... Even the Cui family in Qinghe is not monolithic.
This title of Duke of Qinghe County is also coveted by many clan members.
"Let my nephew see the joke." Cui Xin sighed.
Wang Renbiao smiled bitterly, "Actually, it's more than that. If nothing else, let the two brothers go to Hedong."
Upon hearing this, Cui Xin immediately recognized that Wang Renbiao must know Pei Shiju, but he certainly does not know Li Shan's political stance... This is also appropriate. After all, although Wang Renbiao is a descendant of the Wang family in Qixian County, Taiyuan, he has no weight.
, and didn’t even serve as an official.
"In the past few years, all those who have been recommended by Huairen and become officials are mediocre." Cui Xin shook his head, "By the way, I heard from Erlang that we met King Ma Bin today?"
"Yes." Wang Renbiao asked tentatively: "It is said that when he was in Shandong, Huairen received a lot of help from King Ma Bin?"
"I vaguely remember." Cui Xin's eyes flickered. Of course he now knew what kind of role Ma Zhou might play.
The two people were talking in the front yard. In the back yard, Mrs. Changsun, who was visiting today, was discussing with Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Zhu about getting married in advance. The house in Yanshoufang had been completed long ago, and the furniture and other things had been made. The wedding was
After that, the servant stuffed it inside and it was done.
But the house on the Sun Moon Lake side has not yet been completed. It is only the first month of the year, the ground is frozen solid, and the weather is cold. Construction will not be started for a while. Mrs. Zhang intends for the young couple to live in Yanshoufang, but Mrs. Zhu still wants to live there.
In Sun Moon Lake, it wasn't that she didn't like the big house in Yanshoufang, but Li Shan specifically mentioned it before going on the expedition.
After the battle at Tiantai Mountain, the situation of seizing the heir suddenly changed. If it was Li Shimin who chose the time to take action before, now it is the prince or Pei Shiju who chooses the time.
Li Shimin and Li Shan also had corresponding countermeasures for the incident, but one thing was unpredictable. Pei Shiju lost his son in his later years, and no one could guarantee what he would do or to what extent he would achieve it.
If Pei Shiju makes up his mind to take action, the house in Yanshoufang will have no resistance, but Sun Moon Lake is different. Su Dingfang immediately made many arrangements for Zhuangzi's defense after knowing the inside story a few years ago. There are many veterans in Zhuangzi who have been in battle.
The soldiers were very loyal to Li Shan, and there were grain and ordnance stored in the secret warehouse of Dongshan Temple. Even if there were more than a thousand soldiers attacking, they could hold on in a short time.
Although Mrs. Zhu didn't know anything, she knew that her son would not emphasize this point without any reason. Although Mrs. Zhang was a little unhappy, she didn't insist on it.
Changsun was an insider. He caught a glimpse of Zhu's face with a faint look of worry, and changed the topic: "When Huairen returns to Beijing, I really need to give him a good scolding. I led the Chinese army to charge into the battle in Jingzhou, and this time again
Personally lead the army to attack Xiaoguan..."
"But Saburo sent a letter saying that it's nothing serious, so don't worry."
Zhu Shi forced a smile, "Xiaoguan is so dangerous on a snowy night... I can't control it, so I can only ask Princess Pingyang."
"I heard it, I heard it." Mrs. Changsun covered her mouth and said with a smile, "But it's very appropriate. Princess Pingyang is in the inner chamber when she is crowned that day."
On the day of the coronation ceremony, Princess Pingyang and his wife were both in the inner room and participated as Li Shan's sister and brother-in-law. From this perspective, they were indeed qualified to discipline Li Shan.
In fact, most of the children of the clan are afraid of Princess Pingyang. On the one hand, this princess is so famous that she taught the martial arts of younger generations such as Li Daozong and Li Daoxuan. Elders such as Li Shentong were once her generals.
On the one hand, it is also because Princess Pingyang is extremely favored by Li Yuan. Now Chai Shaoneng is able to take charge of the Beiya Imperial Army, largely because he is Princess Pingyang's husband.
Many people even think that Princess Pingyang is the most suitable candidate to serve as Zong Zhengqing.
Seeing that it was dusk, Mrs. Changsun said goodbye and left. Mrs. Zhang returned to the main courtyard. Seeing Cui Xin's sad face, she said casually: "I heard that Da Lang Erlang was reprimanded?"
"Hmm." Cui Xin was a little lackluster, and was still thinking about Ma Zhou... Just now, he and Wang Renbiao had been fighting for a long time around Ma Zhou. Cui Xin really didn't have any talent in this area.
"Mrs. Zhu insists on welcoming her bride in Zhuangzi..."
"It should be." Cui Xin snorted. He had been to Sun Moon Lake many times and knew that Zhuangzi was heavily guarded and had soldiers inside. If it really came to a critical moment, he might have to take his family there to take shelter.
"Father, mother."
The clear and sweet voice came, and Cui Xin immediately relaxed his brows and asked with a smile: "Can it be a poem?"
"He promised at least three poems a few months ago."
Miss Cui smiled and leaned on Mrs. Zhang's shoulder, but said nothing.
Mrs. Zhang hugged her daughter and muttered something in a low voice. Cui Xin listened carefully for a while and then interjected: "There is no need to use any means..."
"Mr. Zhou has a soft temper, but Xiaoman is a bit coquettish." Ms. Zhang disagreed, "I asked about it, Xiaoman is the most favored by Huairen, and he has always been unscrupulous."
"Now that you have entered the Li family, you will naturally take care of the backyard so as not to worry Mr. Li." Mrs. Cui said seriously: "Mr. Li is not one of those people who doesn't know etiquette."
Mrs. Zhang was still a little worried and whispered to her daughter some secrets of husband taming, but Cui Xin quietly curled his lips. Although he had to admit Li Huairen's literary, Taoist and military skills, as he said to Li Shan a few months ago,
Li Shan is an arrogant person, he looks elegant, but in reality he is brave, has good strategies, and has a heroic spirit. He is a first-rate person in the world, but he may not be a good husband.
The initial acquiescence was due to the appreciation of Li Shan and the article "Love Lotus", but later on the bond became deeper and deeper. Cui Xin had no other choice. If he regretted the marriage, it would not only offend Li Shan, but also Li Shan.
