The king was a minister, and he was a powerful prime minister. However, his title was lower than that of the old people in the Qin Palace. He was just a county prince. Although Li Shimin did not mention it deliberately, everyone knew that this was related to the fact that the king was Li Jiancheng.
There is a certain relationship between the minister of Huigu and his origin as the Wang family in Taiyuan.
The king knew it well, so he never complained about the title. Among the direct descendants of the powerful family, the king has the highest position in the court. The role he plays is very important to the powerful family. Li Shimin also knows this.
It is clear that the emperor and his ministers have a tacit understanding and each has his own purpose, and no one has ever challenged it.
Today, the king was drafting a memorial in the palace, in order to present another memorial to ask Li Shimin to agree to his request in the palace that day. Suddenly the concierge came to report, and Cui Wensheng came to see him with a heavy gift. After hearing this, the king was a little puzzled.
They are close friends, but they are also distant from each other. The Wang family of Taiyuan and the Cui family of Qinghe have been engaged to each other and have always been good friends, but they rarely have contact with the Boling Cui family. As the eldest son of the Boling Cui family, Cui Wensheng
The official position in the court is much smaller than his, and he has no contact with him. Today he came to visit and brought heavy gifts. What could be the reason?
Suddenly, a person appeared in Wang's mind, and he frowned slightly. Didn't that incident just pass? Could something happen again?
Wang put down his writing brush and followed the concierge to the lobby. When Cui Wensheng saw him coming, he hurriedly came over to salute and said: "Uncle Wang, this junior Wen Sheng is so polite. I came to bother you today. Please see that the five surnames and seven looks are in the same breath.
For the sake of the branches, please lend a helping hand!"
Hearing Cui Wensheng call him "uncle", Wang knew something was wrong. Something big must have happened, otherwise Cui Wensheng would not call him "uncle" instead of "Xiaguan". Wang frowned slightly and asked, "What happened?"
panic?"
"Uncle, please read." Cui Wensheng took out a piece of 'Datang Daily' from his arms and handed it to Wang. Wang held it in his hand with some doubts, and his brows immediately furrowed even more tightly. He touched the paper and said,
He looked at the words on the paper carefully and wondered: "Is this...a rubbing?"
Cui Wensheng said anxiously: "Oh, uncle, look at the words above!"
Wang hurriedly went to see it. After reading the first two things, he was still able to stabilize his mind. They said everything that happened, and everything was true, and there was nothing embellished about it. But after watching the third thing, he felt a little confused.
He was sweating and asked quickly: "Li Mu was assassinated in the street? Did you do it?"
"No!" Cui Wensheng stamped his feet and said, "If I did it, I wouldn't come to beg you, but now... I really didn't do it, but when you look at this thing, even though you didn't name it, but
Even a fool would think of my Bolingcui family. Uncle, to be honest, when I came to you today, I always used the back door. The front door of my mansion was blocked by the people, and all the dirty things were smashed on the door.
, it already stinks! Li Mu’s move is quite poisonous!”
Wang heard the secret and asked: "You mean, all the people in Chang'an have seen this thing now? How is it possible? Is it possible that thousands of copies can be copied overnight?"
"I don't know how he did it. Anyway, now the 'Datang Daily' is almost everywhere in the east and west cities and at every intersection. It's a shame that my Cui family's thousand-year reputation has been ruined in the hands of this kid!"
The king's face was as dark as water. Li Shimin could call him a man with the talents of a prime minister. After listening to Cui Wensheng's description, how could he not know what the consequences of the emergence of the 'Datang Daily' would be. He looked at Cui Wensheng.
Asked: "What do you want to do when you come to me?"
Cui Wensheng bowed to the end: "I would like to ask my uncle to join me in impeaching Li Mu. With my uncle's help, even Your Majesty will no longer be able to favor him."
"Idiot!" Wang thought Cui Wensheng had some idea, but he didn't expect him to be so stupid. He said sternly: "Now that Li Mu has been assassinated, and all the spearheads are pointing at your Boling Cui family, are you going to impeach me now? Who will believe your words?
?Disgrace yourself!"
Cui Wensheng was confused by the scolding and said: "Well, what does Uncle Yi mean?"
Wang sighed and said: "For your father's sake, let me say a few more words. Now that Li Mu's assassination has become a fact, and you said that the murderer is not one of your people, there are only two possibilities. One, someone
I want to get rid of Li Mu and put the blame on the Bolingcui family. This person may have a grudge against Li Mu, or he may have a grudge against you, the Bolingcui family. Second, if there is no frame-up, it will be even more terrible. Please pay attention carefully.
Think about it, since the conflict between the Boling Cui family and Li Mu, Your Majesty has been taking Li Mu's side and taking sides in every aspect. It is very likely that the instigator behind this is your Majesty, who, with the help of Li Mu, wants to use the Boling Cui family to suppress the powerful family.
. Li Mu’s assassination may also be a drama, just to ask you to say nothing. If this is true, not only your Bolingcui family will be in crisis, but also the five surnames and seven hopes will be in disaster!"
Cui Wensheng broke into a cold sweat when he heard it, and said in a trembling voice: "The world, the world has been decided for the first time, will your Majesty take action against a wealthy family so soon?"
Wang took a deep breath, pursed his lips, and said: "I don't think it will be so fast, but the emperor's thoughts are always difficult to figure out. Maybe he wants to be surprised, but not necessarily. I don't dare to gamble, and I can't gamble.
"
Cui Wensheng had completely lost his idea and said: "Uncle, please ask me for advice."
"For the current plan, no matter what the possibility is, we must first find the person behind the scenes. I will go to the palace to meet with His Majesty and test the news for you. And you must immediately activate all connections to see if you can find the person behind the scenes.
You must not let go of the clues to the outside world. Since Li Mu did not mention his name, you should treat this matter as having nothing to do with your Boling Cui family, and do not show any abnormality. If you find the person who is responsible, kill him immediately. Only
Let this matter become an unsolved case so that it can be settled slowly. Otherwise, no matter who is found, the person responsible may be exploited, and then the disaster will be diverted to the east, and you will not be the only one who will be unlucky."
Cui Wensheng nodded vigorously and said: "Then I'll bother uncle, I'll go look for it right now."
"Go ahead. Once I have news, I will send someone to inform you immediately."
Cui Wensheng said goodbye and left. Wang looked at his back and sighed. Cui Clan Master is such a person, how come his descendants are all like this, they are all mud that cannot stand up to the wall.
Wang turned around and was about to go back to the backyard to rewrite the memorial, when suddenly a voice came into his ears.
"Uncle, Ouer is here."
Wang immediately turned around and when he saw Wang Ou, he immediately beamed with joy: "It's Ou'er. Aren't you in Luoyang? When did you come to Chang'an?"
Wang Ou came over and Yingying bowed down. Wang quickly helped her up and welcomed her into the hall.
"I've been here for a few days and have dealt with some business matters. Uncle, is that person who just walked out in a hurry from the Bolingcui family?"
"Yes," Wang didn't seem to be surprised at all how Wang Ou recognized Cui Wensheng, and said, "Ou'er, why are you asking?"
Wang Ou said: "Ou'er has something that he wants to tell his uncle about."
