The Strongest Imperial Grandson of the Great Tang Dynasty

Cui family.

Cui Yunzhu is already the temporary head of the Cui family in the capital, but today he is standing beside him honestly, including his injured cousin Cui Yuncheng who is accompanying the guests at the moment. Sitting in the middle is a forty-year-old This old man is Cui Shiju, one of the four elders of the Cui family. Because he is the third oldest, his servants call him Third Master Cui.

"Is the news reliable?"

Third Master Cui just arrived today, and there was a big surprise when he arrived, that is, His Royal Highness the Emperor Changsun was assassinated outside the city. Although he only received an arrow, 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 his assassination was not a trivial matter.

What's more, Li Xiang is now highly regarded by Li Shimin. In addition to being the deputy commander of the Liaodong Division of the Ministry of War, he is also the deputy commander of the newly established Imperial City Division. Not only is he the first among the emperors of the Tang Dynasty, he has already surpassed Li Tai. scenery.

"It's reliable. People from the East Palace are already investigating the murderer."

Cui Yunzhu answered honestly that as the magistrate of Chang'an County, he had no problem collecting such information. What's more, as the most powerful family in the world, the Cui family has its own intelligence system.

"Don't put fire on us. Have you ever asked the people below if they really have nothing to do with us?"

Third Master Cui said nervously, because things in the capital were a little out of control, so the Cui family of Qinghe sent him to fully handle the affairs of the Cui family in the capital. At this moment, Cui Yunzhu was just a clerk.

"Don't worry, Third Master, this matter has nothing to do with us."

Cui Yunzhu said with certainty that all the people of the Cui family had been gathered together. They really wanted to cause trouble for Li Xiang, but before they could take action, Li Xiang was already in trouble. At that time, he was very happy. For a while, this kid has been making enemies everywhere. Even without us, his life is extremely difficult.

"Take my post and send someone to the East Palace to ask His Highness to come to the palace for a briefing."

After Mr. Cui said this, the two brothers Cui Yunzhu were shocked. When Mr. Cui first came, the two brothers speculated for a while, thinking that Mr. Cui was here to make the decision for them, at least to Li. Xiang needs to be suppressed. What does it mean to let Li Xiang come over and talk about it?

"Third Master, this guy has ruined a lot of our good things. The liquor we have seen has been without income for a month. Why should we talk to him?"

It was not unreasonable for Cui Yunzhu to be excluded as the heir when he was young. Seeing this guy's eager look, Mr. Cui also shook his head speechlessly.

"Times have changed. When the Tang Dynasty was first established, the imperial court relied on us a lot, so we could go too far and even overwhelm His Majesty. But now the Tang Dynasty has achieved a seemingly peaceful state and people's peace. If we cause trouble, we will be successful. The odds are low, so we have to change our strategy.”

Cui Sanye said helplessly. To put it nicely, it means changing the strategy. To put it badly, it means to slowly surrender.

For these aristocratic families, they do not want the peaceful development of society, because such development is not conducive to their growth in strength. Only when the society is in turmoil and those in power need to rely on them, will their positions become higher and higher. These In 2000, they had been aiming to create all kinds of troubles and chaos in Datang. However, Li Shimin was strong enough to disintegrate all their plans, and Datang began to slowly get better.

"Then we tolerate them?"

Cui Yunzhu said with some reluctance that during the confrontation with Li Xiang, one of the two brothers was disabled and the other was embarrassed. If they just endured it, the world would laugh at the Cui family.

"Didn't you see what happened at the entrance of the Ministry of War Yamen? If you want to be tough, how much better are your people than Hou Junji's people?"

Cui Sanye said sternly that the reason why the family sent him here was because they saw Li Xiang's armed strength. If they had a head-on confrontation, they might not be able to get an advantage. If Li Xiang bites him, they will inevitably lose a piece of meat.

"Then what does Third Master mean by inviting him here?"

Cui Yunzhu was so anxious that he screamed, but Cui Yuncheng looked at him and his cousin became silent. Although Cui Yuncheng was injured, he could still maintain his sanity at the critical moment.

"Since you can't fight, you have to become his friend. For my Cui family, we have any response plan at any time."

There was a lot of helplessness in Mr. Cui's words. In the past, if someone disobeyed them, the Cui family would kill him directly, but now they can only adjust their plan.

"We support his ascension to the throne?"

Cui Yuncheng said with some disbelief. Although he and Li Xiang had met once, he also knew that this person was not a small role. Once he ascended the throne, he might be more difficult to deal with than Li Shimin, and then the big families like them would be even more difficult. There is no room for survival.

"It depends on his attitude. If it can protect our interests, it is okay to support him, but if he implements the same policy as the current emperor, then we will have to take risks again."

After Cui Sanye finished speaking, Cui Yuncheng understood what was going on. Cui Sanye came to the capital this time, ostensibly to deal with this mess, but in fact he wanted to try Li Xiang and see what he was like. What's the meaning.

When I faced Li Chengqian back then...

Cui Yuncheng felt a chill all over his body.

He didn't know what happened back then, but Li Chengqian didn't show any color to the five surnames and seven wishes. This was something that everyone in the civil and military dynasties 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 us. Sometimes you have to look at the outside world. The eldest grandson's family can cooperate with him, and we can also cooperate with him. No one will Don’t be tempted by the Cui family’s political resources. Once he gets on our boat, he will be out of control.”

Cui Sanye said with confidence that although they did not have much power in the upper echelons of the imperial court, the power they had in the vast prefectures and counties was extremely amazing, and they were all on the edge.

Thinking of the huge power of the Cui family, Cui Yunzhu smiled again, but Cui Yuncheng frowned. Are you really sure he will get on the boat?

Or maybe he is a big ship, so why should he come to your ship? Moreover, the channel is so wide. If your ship blocks his way, he might find a way to scuttle your ship. Except for Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng Except for that, no other members of the Li family in Datang are willing to cooperate with them...
