There was a lot of noise outside.

The Cui Mansion in the capital is full of singing and dancing.

Wei Ting, the head of the Ministry of Officials, came to visit, and Master Cui Ren greeted him personally.

After drinking for three rounds, give up singing and dancing.

Cui Renshi just asked suspiciously: "Brother suddenly came to visit, what is the reason?"

Wei Ting smiled politely, and said softly: "There are many rumors among the people that the Zuo family was under the protection of the Cui family, and only then did they become prosperous today.

Now that the Zuo family is in trouble, the elder brother is worried that the younger brother will act impulsively, so he came here specially to dissuade the younger brother. "

"Oh?!"

Cui Renshi frowned upon hearing this.

For a while, I couldn't figure out what Wei Ting's intention was.

After all, he has known Li Jiancheng since childhood, and the relationship between the two is very close.

If Wude hadn't been implicated in Yang Wengan's incident in the seventh year of Wude, and Wang Gui and others were demoted to Shu, he would have supported Li Jiancheng during the Xuanwu Gate change.

It is also because of this that the relationship between him and Li Shimin is actually quite incompatible.

But now, the matter of the Zuo family is obviously a struggle between the imperial power and the aristocratic family.

In any case, Wei Ting should not end early and come forward to intercede for Li Tang's royal family.

"A certain person was favored by his elder brother in the past, so he may speak up if he has something to say."

Master Cui Ren put down the bamboo chopsticks, thought for a while and said with a smile.

Wei Ting nodded, tapped the bamboo chopsticks lightly and replied in a deep voice: "Brother, I heard that my virtuous brother is very interested in bamboo chopsticks recently, and I have already hoarded a lot of them.

Even Zhaojun Wang Li Xiaogong personally came forward, and the younger brother never gave in. "

"true."

Master Cui Ren frowned and nodded, not quite understanding what Wei Ting meant.

Wei Ting shook his head when he saw it, and sighed secretly: "My dear brother, have you ever thought about who entrusted Li Xiaogong to buy bamboo so much?
If it is really the person that brother said, how could he not respond for dozens of days and let my virtuous brother do whatever he wants? "

"Um?

Brother means...

Is this a trick of that person, just to lure us into the bait? "

Cui Renshi's heart tightened, and he asked urgently: "But brother.

This convenient paper-making technique was found by the general supervisor after all my efforts.

And the person who secretly told the younger brother Fazi also had an unforgettable enmity with the little prince.

Others might conspire with the little prince, but this person definitely won't. "

Wei Ting put down his chopsticks and narrowed his eyes slightly. "Li Dejian was severely punished by the little prince in the street, and his reputation was discredited, so naturally he would not be in trouble with the little prince.

but……

What if the little prince did this on purpose? "

"Hi~"

Master Cui Ren took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said in panic, "If that's the case, I'm afraid we'll be waiting for the family this time..."

"Brother, don't worry.

This is just speculation for my brother. "

Wei Ting tilted his head calmly, and said in a low voice: "The little prince loves to build plank roads in the open, and secretly keeps Chencang.

This is his strength and also his weakness.

The virtuous brother only needs to watch the play to find out the plot of the little prince. "

"How to find out?"

Master Cui Ren asked puzzledly.

Wei Ting replied seriously: "If Li Dejian leaks the secret, it is really the little prince's intention.

This time Zuo's eldest son is causing trouble, the little prince must be lenient to him.

on the contrary.

With the little prince's temperament of vengeance, he will inevitably find a reason to confiscate the Zuo family's entire family.

The younger brother only needs to wait for the result, and then he can judge one or two. "

Cui Renshi focused his eyes, thought for a moment and sighed: "Brother doesn't know something.

If the Zuo family is taken over by the little prince, the royal family will have a chance to turn around.

I'm afraid it will be difficult if I want to suppress the imperial paper workshop. "

"Oh~"

Wei Ting sneered secretly, feeling more and more disappointed with Master Cui Ren.

At this moment, he didn't know his own crisis, but he still wanted to fight against the royal family.

Even if he gets through the crisis with his help this time, he will inevitably be plotted by Li Jing in the future.

"Since the virtuous brother has made up his mind, I will not persuade you any more.

I only hope that my virtuous brother will leave an extra way of retreat when doing things, so as to ensure nothing goes wrong. "

"Don't worry, brother, younger brother must follow his teachings."

Master Cui Ren smiled sincerely, raised his glass and said: "Brother is talented, and younger brother has admired him for a long time.

This time, the elder brother has helped him so much, and the younger brother is really grateful.

But brother, you should know that it is difficult to sing with one hand, and it is difficult to support a single tree.

With the strength of the elder brother alone, how can he fight with Li Shimin and his son! "

"Hehe~
How does the virtuous brother know that there is only one brother? "

Wei Ting responded with a toast, and said with a smile.

Cui Renshi fixed his eyes and asked in surprise: "Could it be that brother..."

"It cannot be said.

It cannot be said. "

Wei Ting raised his hand to interrupt, and replied seriously: "You and my house are full of spies.

Even if there is no one here, you should be more careful. "

"It's true what my brother said.

The younger brother would like to be taught. "

Cui Renshi saluted solemnly.

Wei Ting returned a salute, stroked his beard and said: "Brother's matter involves a lot, it's really inconvenient to say more, and I hope my virtuous brother will forgive me.

But brother, don't worry.

The elder brother and his party are at odds with Li Shimin's father and son, and they will definitely not help Li Tang's royal family plan the family. "

"That's good.

That's all. "

Cui Renshi breathed a sigh of relief without hesitation, but he never relaxed his vigilance in his heart.

After all, suspicion is not only a necessary quality for emperors, but also an indispensable quality for superiors.

Otherwise, if you trust your subordinates and others, you will be replaced in a short time.

What's more, Wei Ting's sudden visit today, there are many strange things in the first place.

Now that he voluntarily admits that there is someone behind him, Cui Renshi is even more puzzled.

Such a hasty exposure of his cards is not like the actions of an old fox who has been immersed in the imperial court for decades.

Unless, Wei Ting has other plans.

"Brother is here today, do you have something important to do?"

Master Cui Ren thought for a while and asked bluntly.

He has known Wei Ting for many years, and he thinks that he is not as resourceful as Wei Ting.

Instead of testing each other, it is better to cut to the chase and ask frankly.

"Young brother is indeed still so keen."

Wei Ting smiled slightly, and asked earnestly: "Your brother thinks, if the little prince takes power, will your family and I have a way to survive?"

"Hehe~
Brother why bother to ask.

If there is half a way to survive, how can the younger brother and others do such a thing? "

Cui Renshi sighed and shook his head.

Wei Ting seemed to be unintentionally picking the delicacies in front of him, squinting his eyes and asked: "In this case, brother, who do you think can replace you among the several princes?"

"Um?!"

Cui Renshi was shocked all over, his eyes gleamed brightly.

What the aristocratic family is best at is supporting the young prince to inherit the throne.

But now that Li Jing is so powerful, the rest of the princes are covered by his light.

The five surnames and Qiwang have been thinking for a long time, but they really don't know who can compete with Li Jing.

"Brother, you should know.

Li Chengqian, king of Hengshan County, has long since fallen out of favor.

What he did in the past was also extremely disappointing.

Most civil and military officials were dissatisfied with him, and no one would support him.

And Wei Wang Li Tai.

Now he concentrates on studying the way of science, and has no desire to compete for power.

If you and I rashly send someone to the door, he will definitely tell the prince what you and I said.

As for Hanwang Li Ke...

Although he is favored by His Majesty, he is not a direct prince.

And he has the blood of the former Sui Dynasty, so he is destined to miss the throne in this life.

The rest of the princes are even more unbearable, and they have no chance to compete with Li Jing. "

Wei Ting nodded solemnly upon hearing this.

He naturally knew what Cui Renshi said.

But in his capacity, there is no way out, only to do what he knows he can't do.

As for success or failure, it can only be decided by God.

"Brother, you know, the empress is pregnant again.

If a prince is born this time, there may be a chance of a comeback. "

"The empress is pregnant?!

Dare to ask brother where did he know? "

Cui Renshi asked happily.

Wei Ting smiled complacently, and said solemnly: "This is what Dr. Zhu of the imperial hospital said drunkenly, so I think there can be no falsehood.

If the little prince has been taught by us since he was a child...

Do you think he will get close to Li Jing in the future, or to you and me, a noble family like you? "

"Um?!
Brother, this is very kind!

Hahaha~"
