Chapter five hundred and sixty-three: start with five surnames and seven hopes
Qi Wang, the fifth surname, would actually choose to marry the royal family!
Moreover, they still used their legitimate daughters to be sent to the palace to become the emperor's concubine.
Doing this will actually have a certain impact on the reputation of Wu Xing Qi Wang.
The best thing they can do is to choose an unmarried prince and marry their legitimate daughter as the main wife and become the princess.
Only in this way can they be worthy of their name as a powerful family with five surnames and seven views.
And for their legitimate daughter to be brought into the palace, even if she is a concubine, it would be a shame to a wealthy family like the Five Surnames and Qiwang.
Because, in the past, they had never bothered to marry the royal family.
Of course, the fifth surname and Qi Wang now lower themselves to marry the royal family, which has exceeded their bottom line.
So now, let’s just make a more thorough breakthrough.
Because the current situation of the Five Surnames and Qiwang is really not good, and they have been suppressed miserably by the King of Shu in recent years.
During this period, they attacked the King of Shu many times, but they never achieved their goals.
The King of Shu was so powerful that they were powerless against him.
Therefore, this time they simply sent their family's legitimate daughter into the palace.
In this way, they can influence the emperor's decisions through the imperial concubine and strive for greater benefits for their family.
In particular, the person they are planning to send to the palace this time is Cui Shiniang, the smartest girl from their Qiwang family.
Cui Shiniang's appearance is also unique among the entire Qiwang family with five surnames.
What is unique is that it is rare in the sky and unparalleled in the earth.
I believe that after Cui Shiniang enters the palace, she will definitely be favored by the emperor.
After receiving the news, Li Min's face became gloomy and terrifying.
Li Min couldn't help but order him to go down and ordered Mengwei to carefully trace the specific whereabouts of Cui Shiniang.
Find out the status of the guards around her and the rescue route.
Within a few days, what Li Min wanted to investigate was discovered.
Cui Shiniang is currently in the Cui family. The Cui family is heavily guarded. It is simply impossible to sneak in silently.
These big aristocratic families are all families that have been passed down for hundreds of years and have a profound foundation.
How could it be possible for someone to sneak into their lair so easily?
Even if an army is sent to attack, it cannot be conquered in a short time.
And it is absolutely impossible for Li Min to send troops to attack the Cui family.
Under such circumstances, it is extremely difficult to rescue Cui Shiniang.
Three months later, the Cui family will escort Cui Shiniang to Chang'an.
And this time the wedding messenger was actually Lu Yong.
In other words, this marriage was brokered by Lu Yong.
Hearing this name, Li Min's eyes couldn't help but shine with a cold light.
Here in Li Min, there is a lot of information about the five surnames and Qi Wang.
He is no stranger to Lu Yong.
Li Min even knew that Lu Yong had come up with many tricks against him.
In the past, even if Qiwang of the fifth surname provoked them again and again, Li Min basically ignored them and ignored them.
Because what Li Min needs is rapid development and he doesn't want to cause unnecessary problems.
But this Lu Yong's repeated provocations really made Li Min angry.
Li Min believed that this Lu Yong must know what happened between him and Cui Shiniang.
And he deliberately sent Cui Shiniang to the palace, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
It not only dealt a blow to him, but also added another trump card to the Five Surnames and Qiwang Family.
And Li Min believed that the Lu family and the Cui family must have laid many traps around Cui Shiniang.
They must want to use Cui Shiniang to frame Li Min.
As long as it can be proven that Li Min really wants to kidnap Cui Shiniang.
When the time comes, let alone the King of Shu now, even if he is the King of Zhennan, he will not be able to escape death.
Because this is definitely something that violates the emperor's most taboo.
…
At this time, the Cui family and Cui Zhiji couldn't help but ask Lu Yong: "Do you really think that the King of Shu will definitely send someone to kidnap Shiniang? The King of Shu is so wise as a demon, how could he make such a low-level mistake?
?”
Hearing Cui Zhiji's words, Lu Yong smiled slightly and said, "That's because you don't know enough about the King of Shu!"
"Among the people in the world who know the King of Shu best, I should be the one. Because everything the King of Shu does is down to the smallest detail, and I have an in-depth understanding of each one."
"Do you know what the result of my understanding is? That is, since he was ten years old, the King of Shu seems to have changed into a different person."
"What you see may be that the King of Shu is so wise that he is like a demon, and he does all kinds of unbelievable things. It is simply unbelievable."
"And what I saw was another side of the King of Shu. This King of Shu has a sense of arrogance. He has a feeling of being superior to everyone in the world. This is not an attitude, but a mentality.
"
"Not to mention other people, he doesn't even care about the emperor or even the throne."
After hearing Lu Yong's words, Cui Zhiji couldn't help frowning and asked: "Is it really as mysterious as you said? This King of Shu has a very good reputation and is very humble even to ordinary people. How can you say that?
That feeling of looking down on anyone and being superior?"
Lu Yong chuckled and said: "Then what you see is just the surface. He is indeed humble towards the people, but it does not mean that he will treat the people as the same people as him."
"In other words, the King of Shu does not think that anyone can truly be friends with him. It can be said that he does not have a true friend in this world."
Hearing Lu Yong's words, Cui Zhiji couldn't help but fall into silence.
Cui Zhiji is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very smart.
Lu Yong's words sounded extremely absurd, but Cui Zhiji felt a faint feeling of recognition in his heart.
It seems that the King of Shu is such a person.
Cui Zhiji couldn't help but ask: "Why does the King of Shu have such a mentality?"
Lu Yong shook his head and said: "I have not found out the reason. It seems that the King of Shu is not a person in this world. It seems that he does not even pay attention to this world."
If Li Min heard Lu Yong's analysis of him, he would definitely be shocked.
In fact, Li Min, who came from a later generation, may not even realize this.
However, in his mentality, this kind of subconsciousness does exist more or less.
That is, whether facing the people of the Tang Dynasty or the Tang Dynasty as a whole, there is a sense of psychological superiority.
Many times, he actually looks at problems from God's perspective.
Cui Zhiji continued to ask: "Okay, I have to admit that your analysis does make some sense. But, are you sure that he will definitely send someone, or even come to rescue Shiniang himself?"
Lu Yong smiled slightly and said: "I am very sure! Because the King of Shu is a very conceited person at heart! Moreover, he treats the people around him with all his heart and is willing to give everything."
"Do you still remember that he did not hesitate to take personal risks to rescue Wu Meiniang?"
"Wu Meiniang is just a woman beside him. Moreover, she is not his main wife."
"But when Wu Meiniang was besieged, he personally led people to rescue her without even thinking about it. Then she fell into the opponent's trap and was surrounded by wolves."
"Although in the end, he still managed to escape by some means. But considering the situation at that time, if it was not wolves that besieged them but people, he might have revealed his whereabouts that time."
"Would the King of Shu not see this beforehand? I believe he could see it, but he still did it without hesitation."
"It's the same this time. And through your description, I even feel that his feelings for Shiniang are even greater than Wu Meiniang."
Hearing Lu Yong's words, Cui Zhiji couldn't help but blush.
It was he who told Lu Yong about the encounter between Li Min and Cui Shiniang.
Cui Zhiji and Cui Shiniang are from the same mother and have a very deep relationship.
But when it comes to the big issue of the rise and fall of the family, Cui Zhiji ultimately chose the family.
If sacrificing Shiniang's happiness can solve the family's crisis, Cui Zhiji feels that it will all be worth it.
It’s not just Shiniang, even if it means sacrificing him, it’s worth it!
For the sake of the family, all sacrifices are worth it!
Thinking of this, Cui Zhiji couldn't help but ask again: "But, is our defense too tight? With this level of defense, it is impossible for the people of King Shu to get close to Shiniang. How can we catch him?" where are they?"
Lu Yong smiled lightly and said: "The King of Shu is not a fool. If we leave obvious flaws, the King of Shu will definitely be alert."
"The opportunity for the King of Shu is on the road. When we send Shiniang to the palace, that's when they will take action. Moreover, I am sure that the King of Shu will take action on the waterway."
"And there is a high possibility that the King of Shu will come in person. At that time, as long as we capture the King of Shu, the King of Shu will no longer be a threat to our family."
A prince secretly led someone to kidnap a potential imperial concubine.
As soon as this kind of scandal breaks out, Li Shimin will inevitably become furious, and no one can save him.
Lu Yong's analysis finally moved Cui Zhiji.
Cui Zhiji couldn't help but said: "Okay! In that case, let's now predict where the King of Shu may attack! Then we will lay a heavy ambush and be sure to capture the King of Shu alive!"
…
At this time, Li Min was indeed planning a rescue route.
Cui Shiniang is a hard-working girl.
He must not watch her jump into the fire pit.
Perhaps for others, being able to enter the palace and become a royal concubine is a good thing that can turn a crow into a phoenix and reach the sky in one step.
But in Li Min's view, that was jumping into a pit of fire.
And Dreamweaver had already simulated the route Cui Shiniang would take to enter Chang'an.
Through this route, after constant calculation, Li Min finally decided to start at the deepest water level in the Ying River section.
At this moment, Xu Hui came to ask for a meeting.
Xu Hui had a lot of dealings with Li Min.
Because Xu Hui is in charge of the intelligence department, there is a lot of information, and she has to come and report it to Li Min in person.
It was even said that Xu Hui no longer asked to see him.
Now that Xu Hui comes to see Li Min, there is no need to notify him at all and he can directly enter Li Min's study.
After seeing Xu Hui, Li Min couldn't help but smile on his face.
This girl has grown taller and taller a few years ago.
The appearance is also open, becoming more and more stunning.
However, he is still very thin.
Xu Hui is the patient Li Min saved with his own bone marrow.
Her own blood was still flowing in her body.
Therefore, Li Min had an inexplicable feeling for Xu Hui.
Seeing Xu Hui come in, Li Min couldn't help but said: "Hui'er, sit down quickly."
After Xu Hui sat down, Li Min said again: "Hui'er, how many times have I told you to rest and not to work so hard."
"I know that intelligence work is complicated. But you have to prioritize and train your subordinates. Just leave all unimportant matters to them."
"If you continue to be disobedient, I won't let you worry so much in the future. I'll lock you up directly and won't let you do anything. You'll just eat and sleep."
Hearing Li Min's words, Xu Hui was extremely moved. Her beautiful red and phoenix eyes made her smile look like a crescent moon.
Xu Hui pursed her lips and smiled and said: "Your Highness, if someone eats and sleeps, and sleeps and eats, wouldn't he turn into a pig?"
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I'm resting well."
"I will take good care of my body. I still want to work for His Highness my whole life!"
Hearing Xu Hui's words, Li Min couldn't help but shook his head, but he didn't say much.
Around me, there is Xu Hui and Wu Meiniang, both of whom are workaholics.
However, they really like Xu Hui for intelligence and Wu Meiniang for business.
Being able to engage in their favorite career, although it is a bit hard, they are very satisfied.
At this time, Xu Hui couldn't help but said softly: "Your Highness, are you preparing to rescue Shiniang?"
Recently, Li Min has focused on pursuing information about Cui Shiniang. If Xu Hui can't even see this, then she is not qualified to do intelligence work at all.
Li Min didn't mean to hide it from her. He nodded and said, "Yes, I won't just watch Shiniang jump into the fire pit."
After hesitating for a moment, Xu Huicai said: "Your Highness, but this is very likely a trap they set against Your Highness."
"The danger level of this operation has reached 90%, or even higher."
"I also sympathize with Shiniang's experience, but I still hope that His Highness can think clearly even though he knows that he cannot do anything."
Hearing Xu Hui's words, Li Min smiled lightly and said, "Don't think about it."
After a pause, Li Min continued: "If you encounter this kind of thing, I will do the same."
Hearing this, Xu Hui couldn't help but be stunned.
Not long after, tears burst from the eyes of the two elites.
Li Xin picked up the handkerchief distressedly and wiped the tears from Xu Hui's face.
…
The wedding is about three months away.
There is plenty of time, and Li Min is just making preparations in advance.
As for the repeated provocations from the five surnamed Qiwang and other aristocratic families, Li Min finally began to get angry.
It would be fine if it was just targeting himself, but now it is actually the people around him who are targeting him, which is contrary to Li Min's behavior.
If the tiger doesn't show its power, you will be regarded as a sick cat!
In this case, Li Min decided to give them some color.
