The Legend of Shushan Xuanjian

Chapter 752

Wu Si Shutong Zhang Gaoqiu, the empty mountains are still drooping.

Jiang E is sorrowful of bamboo and female, and Li Ping China plays the bamboo.

——Excerpt from "Li Ping Konghou Yin" by Li He (Tang Dynasty)
……

Bai Fu's move shocked the capital by punishing and killing the children of the aristocratic family in the street.

Although Lu Zi and Cui Jingwan committed serious crimes, they are the children of aristocratic families after all.In particular, Lu Zi is the grandson of the Lu family of Fanyang, and together with Cui Xunhe of the Cui family of Qinghe, Wang Jiang of the Wang family of Taiyuan, and Zheng Lu of the Zheng family of Xingyang, are also known as the Four Young Masters of Chang'an.

There is a nursery rhyme in Chang'an, which is about these four people:

There is a scene in front of you, Cui's Yellow Crane is on top.

But the king of Taiyuan will be there, and Huma will not be taught to go to Yinshan.

On the Wulao Peak in the southeast of Lushan Mountain, Zheng Tian cut out the golden hibiscus.

Lu Kuai, who is proud of the spring breeze, can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day.

Not long ago, Cui Xunhe and Lu Zi were the sons of a romantic family who "rided on a leaning bridge on a horse and filled the building with red sleeves". They were the dreams of countless girls in Chang'an.

Unexpectedly, when they met Bai Fu, whether it was the Yellow Crane or the Lu, they all returned home without feathers, falling from the sky to the mortal world.

Cui Xunhe came out of the sky prison, although he was covered in bruises, but he managed to save his life.Lu Zi was beheaded directly.

What is even more talked about in the public is that the Lu family has suffered such a big loss, and they didn't say a word.None of the family's children dared to go to Duke Wei's mansion to make a noise.

The people in the capital are the most gossipy, and they spread the whole story in a miraculous way after dinner.

……

The fate of Lu Zi and Cui Jingwan seems to be in line with the old saying: "Man dies for money, and birds die for food."

But others don't think so.

When the three patriarchs rioted in the Jinwuweizhangyuan, Cui Wei, the patriarch of the Qinghe Cui family, saw that the situation was not good, and made a decisive decision, and took the lead in signing a contract with Bai Fu, thus saving Cui Xunhe and preventing the Qinghe Cui family from being involved in the case and being brutally murdered by Bai Fu .

After the collapse of the Boling Cui clan, the patriarch of the Qinghe Cui clan secretly summoned the elders of the clan to hold a closed-door meeting.

All the elders discussed and criticized Bai Fu for being cruel.

After everyone spoke freely, Cui Wei, the patriarch of the Cui clan of Qinghe, opened his mouth.He said to the crowd: "Although Bai Fu is cruel and ruthless, he is only a pawn at best, and the one who plays chess is the current emperor."

As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar.

Cui Wei, the patriarch of the Cui clan in Qinghe, lightly pressed his right hand in the air, suppressing the noisy voices of the crowd, and said: "

Since the founding of Li Tang, in order to get rid of the control of the imperial power by the Guanlong nobles, he has been wooing our Shandong gentry.In the era of Empress Wu Zetian, she even used us to weaken the power of the Guanlong nobles to the bottom.

Seeing the rise of the Shandong gentry and posing a threat to the imperial power, Li Longji promoted An Lushan, Shi Siming and other grassroots barbarians without roots to local princes.

Li Long basically wanted to use this to weaken the power of our Shandong gentry, but he didn't expect that those who played with fire set themselves on fire, and these barbarians were ambitious and even conspired against them.After An Lushan rebelled, Li Tang fell from the sky instantly like a paper kite with a broken string.

In order to quell the rebellion, Li Heng had to rely on our Shandong gentry again to raise donations for food and salaries to replenish the source of troops.But Li Heng was always on guard against us, worried that the Shandong gentry would take this opportunity to return to the court and check and balance the imperial power.

The reason why Fanyang Lu and Boling Cui's third family suffered such bad luck was not only because of selling arms, but because of their participation in the battle for succession.

There is a precedent for aristocratic families intervening in the establishment of the reserve, and the founding of the dynasty.

The change of Xuanwu Gate and the conquest of Emperor Taizong's sons all have the shadows of Guanlong nobles and Shandong gentry behind them.

The concubine Cui of Prince Li Chu was born in the Cui family of Boling.His father, Cui Xun, was the secretary and the young supervisor.His mother, Mrs. Yang from South Korea, is the sister of Concubine Yang Guifei.

The Yang family was killed in the Mawei Post Incident.Concubine Cui is of no use to Li Chu, and her favor is getting weaker.In the second year of Zhide, Cui died of illness in Chang'an.Cui's sons Zheng Wang Li Miao and Zhao Wang Li Si were neglected by Li Chu from then on.Even if Li Chu ascends the throne in the future, the two brothers Li Miao and Li Si have no possibility of being in charge of the East Palace.

The Cui family of Boling was dissatisfied with this, and had been secretly supporting the Yue king Li family, hoping to bring Li Chu down.

Li Zhi, the king of Peng, and his mother and concubine Chen Jieyu are descendants of the Chen family of Yingchuan, Cao Wei Sikong and Chen Qun.

The Chen family of Yingchuan and the Lu family of Fan Yang have always been friends, so Peng Wang Li is only the heir apparent in the eyes of the Lu family of Fan Yang.

……

The martial arts competition in front of the Linde palace completely exposed the conflicts between Prince Li Chu and Yue King Li Xi and other princes.

If my prediction is correct, Suzong must have taken the opportunity of Bai Fu's assassination to kill chickens and monkeys and warn our five surnamed Qiwang family. "

Several Qinghe Cui clan elders looked at each other, deeply feeling that this statement was true.

Cui Qian, the elder of the Cui family, asked: "The patriarch really has great insight. If you hadn't reminded us, we would still place the blame on Bai Fu.

I heard that the Cui clan of Boling had a deep grudge against Bai Fu, and vowed to take revenge. "

Cui Wei said: "They can't be mistaken for holding grudges against Bai Fu. Although Li Heng took the big idea, but without Bai Fu as a hero, Li Heng would not dare to act so aggressively.

Since the end of the Han Dynasty, our Shandong gentry have always been at odds with the Guanlong nobles.

The old lord Dugu and his eldest grandson Yanxing looked up to Bai Fu, a humble scholar, and even wanted to betroth the old lord's most beloved granddaughter, Dugu Xiao, to Bai Fu.When I heard about it, I didn't think so.

Unexpectedly, in just a few years, Bai Fu was born out of nowhere, with outstanding achievements, a general and a prime minister, and was relied on by the imperial court as a leader.It has the demeanor of the founding fathers Li Jing and Xu Shiji in the past.

It has to be said that Changsun Yanxing's vision of knowing people is indeed higher than that of the old man.

However, Bai Fu's actions also complied with Changsun Yanxing's judgment, that he was ruthless and murderous.The existence of such powerful ministers is not a good thing for our family of five surnames and Qiwang.

Bai Furuo becoming the backing of Li Tang's royal family is a nightmare for us aristocratic families.If this person is in charge of power, it will be difficult for our Shandong gentry to restrict the imperial power and check and balance the emperor.Once the operation is inadvertent, Boling Cui's is a lesson from the past. "

Cui Yan, the elder of the Cui family, had a cold light in his eyes, and said: "Patriarch, since this is the case, should we join forces with the Boling Cui family to cut the weeds and eradicate the roots..."

Cui Wei shook his head and said: "If there is no support from His Majesty for Bai Fu, no matter how fierce Bai Fu is ten times, he will not be able to make big waves.

Let the emperor and Bai Fu become increasingly alienated, and disharmony between the emperor and his subjects is our best strategy.

However, this is very difficult to achieve at present. His Majesty had a close relationship with Bai Fu in the prince's time, and Qing Wang Li Cong left him alone at the end of his life, which made Suzong's trust in Bai Fu irreversible.

For the current plan, it is best to transfer Bai Fu out of Chang'an, away from His Majesty.

After the crown prince Li Chu ascended the throne, Li Chu's hatred for Bai Fu would definitely make him an insignificant idler. "

Cui Meng, the elder of the Cui family, asked: "If Li Chu ascends the throne, his younger sister, Princess Qingluan, will become the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty. With Princess Qingluan mediating, will the relationship between the two have a turn for the better?"

Cui Wei shook his head and said, "I'm not sure about this either.

I believe that the problems we can see can also be seen by the old guys from other families.

To be honest, I have always suspected that there are a few old and cunning guys in the aristocratic family who have been secretly provoking the relationship between Li Chu and Bai Fu.

Li Chu was born with a golden key in his mouth, and he is young and energetic, so he is easy to fall into the tricks of others.

Let's watch as we walk, if the two turn against each other, we must pull Bai Fu to our side. "

Cui Qian, the elder of the Cui family, asked: "If so, wouldn't we offend Li Chu who has become the emperor?"

Cui Wei laughed loudly when he heard this, and said, "What is an emperor?! As long as our five surnames and Qiwang family reach a consensus on the candidate, we can join hands to support another one at any time.

But Bai Fu is different, this person is a rare general in a hundred years, just like Bai Qi Han Xin reborn.

In troubled times, compared with resources such as land and wealth, talents are the key.

With generals like Bai Fu sitting in command, they can control the Tang army and command the heroes.

With Bai Fu's full help, my Cui family will be "not a king but a king"!
Or, to compete in the Central Plains and dominate the world..."

　Wu Si Shutong Zhang Gaoqiu, the empty mountains are still drooping.

　　Jiang E is sorrowful of bamboo and female, and Li Ping China plays the bamboo.

　　Kunshan jade broken phoenix screamed, Furong cried and dew Xianglan laughed.

　　Cold light melted in front of the twelve gates, and 23 silk moved the purple emperor.

　　Nuwa refining stone to fill the sky, the stone breaks the sky and makes Qiuyu amused.

　　Dreaming of entering the sacred mountain to teach the goddess, the old fish dances the thin dragon dance.

　　Wu Zhi restlessly leaned against the laurel tree, and flew damp and cold rabbits with bare feet.
