Chapter 80 The Object of Allegiance

The lesson learned from the past is naturally the change of Xuanwu Gate, which is a taboo of the Tang Dynasty and Li Shimin's heart disease.

The scar in his heart was touched, and he was very angry.

But looking at his eldest grandson Wugou who was like a hen protecting his cubs, the anger in his heart couldn't be vented at all.

He can be angry with anyone, except her.

It's impossible for her not to know what's wrong with him, but she still chooses to speak out, which only shows that she is really angry.

A mother can do anything for her child.

He couldn't help but think of his mother, if she was alive, would she watch his brother step by step towards breaking up?
Maybe some things are destined to happen irreversibly, but she will definitely do her best to reconcile, and even quarrel with her father, just like the current eldest grandson Wugou.

The children are luckier than myself. I lost my mother early, and they are protected by their mother.

Thinking of this, the anger in his heart disappeared, and he said in a waned way: "Okay, it's all up to you, let Qing Que be the Prince of Taiping from now on."

The eldest grandson Wugou said vigilantly: "Really?"

Li Shimin smiled bitterly: "Really, how many times have I lied to you?"

The eldest grandson Wugou was happy at first, and then said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I was too impatient and slipped my words just now."

Li Shimin shook his head and said: "I am the one who is too impatient. I have too high demands on Chengqian, so I made such a bad move in a moment of urgency."

……

In Su Guogong's mansion, Cheng Yaojin called Cheng Huailiang back, and said: "From now on, stay away from the King of Wei, don't even make friends with the prince, and don't get too close to any prince."

Cheng Huailiang was puzzled and said: "I can understand how to alienate the king of Wei. Why can't the crown prince be friends with him even if he is the heir?"

Cheng Yaojin said: "Your Majesty is in the prime of life, as a minister, it is a big taboo to rush to stand in line at this time. And what about the crown prince, it is not yet known who will die until the last moment."

Cheng Huailiang showed a thoughtful expression.

Cheng Yaojin continued: "For our family, the support is just icing on the cake, and the price of being on the wrong team is too heavy. When the difference between the sacrifice and the reward is too large, it is best not to place a bet."

Cheng Huailiang said: "If we don't stand in line, will the winner of the final attack us?"

Cheng Yaojin said: "With the current status of our family, as long as the superior is not a fool, he will not touch us. But if the superior is a fool, what if he has merit in supporting us?"

"It's not that we don't take sides, but we always stand with the saints. In the end, we will support whoever the saints choose."

Cheng Huailiang nodded and said, "I understand, but what if Zhenren Chen takes the team?"

"If he wants to stand in line, he won't decline Wei Wang politely today." Cheng Yaojin's eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking, but he said meaningfully:

"In the past, I was only [-]% sure, but now I am [-]% sure that, except for rebellion, no matter how big a mistake he makes, the saint and empress will protect him."

"Even if he supports someone, no matter who wins in the end, it may not affect his glory and wealth."

Cheng Huailiang was shocked, how could this be possible?

But no matter how much he asked, Cheng Yaojin didn't tell him the answer, but warned him repeatedly not to inquire.

Knowing too much is not a good thing.

……

In Yiguo Duke's Mansion, Qin Qiong also said similar words: "Don't stand in line with any prince, we only support the saint, and we will support whoever he chooses in the end."

Qin Yandao replied: "Yes, I know."

Qin Qiong continued: "Except for the saint and empress, there are only three of us at the banquet today. This is equivalent to telling His Majesty face to face that our three families have formed an alliance with Zixiao Temple. Do you know why Your Majesty is not angry?"

Qin Yandao shook his head and said, "Please advise, sir."

Qin Qiong said: "Because our three families only represent ourselves, and there are no other forces behind us, and our alliance is only for self-protection rather than for power and profit."

Qin Yandao was puzzled and said: "My son is stupid, please explain to me."

Qin Qiong sighed, this son's ability is indeed mediocre, it is difficult to rely on him to support the Qin family's family.

Fortunately, he was lucky enough to meet a bunch of brothers.With the help of Chen Jingke and others, not to mention that the Qin family can be promoted to a higher level, at least it will not suddenly decline.

Thinking of this, he became even more grateful to Chen Jingke. Not only did he save his life, but he also gave Qin Yandao a hand.

Converging and diverging thinking, he said: "Behind Xu Guogong (Gao Shilian), Qi Guogong (Changsun Wuji), Ying Guogong (Yuwen Shiji) and others are the nobles of Guan Long..."

"Wei Guogong (Fang Xuanling), Zheng Guogong (Wei Zheng) and others were from Shandong gentry, and they represent the interests of the gentry..."

"The other princes also represent the interests of one side... The relationship behind a person is too complicated, and the mind will become difficult to grasp."

"Over the past few hundred years, the sky above has changed one family after another, but the gentry and nobles have always stood firm. Changing the sky is not a big deal for them."

"We are different. We have nothing to do with any forces. If we change the sky, we will lose everything. If we want to keep our glory and wealth, we can only be loyal to the Holy One, so we will not blame the Holy One for our alliance to protect ourselves."

"If the people present today are replaced by any other family, I'm afraid it will be another result."

Qin Yandao suddenly realized, and said: "So that's the case, I understand."

……

Wu Guogong's mansion.

After Yuchi Gong came home, he immediately called his son Yuchi Baolin over, and closed the door with Yuchi Xunyu and his son to discuss today's affairs.

"The matter of seizing the heirloom is extremely dangerous, you must not get involved in it." Yuchi Gong glared at Yuchi Baolin, and said: "Especially you, you have many friends, don't be dragged into the water by them."

Yuchi Baolin looked serious, and said: "Yeah, don't worry, I know it well."

Yu Chigong nodded. This son's personality is different from his.But he is very measured and knows what to do and what not to do.

At this moment, another thing came to his mind, and he said hastily: "Also, be more restrained towards women in the future. If you really like something, you can buy it back with money. If you can't buy it, you can hold it back."

Yuchi Baolin was not happy anymore, and said: "I am very measured, I never touch people with background, and I will give her family enough compensation afterwards, that is money that they will not be able to earn in a few lifetimes."

Yuchi Gong said angrily: "You bastard, that's what labor and management taught you? You can't even control the birds below, what big things can you do?"

"You can't help this time. If I hear that you use force again, I will break your dog legs. Don't think that labor and management are joking with you."

Yuchi Baolin saw that he was really angry, and she didn't dare to disobey, but said unwillingly: "Why? Could it be that someone has reported me?"

"That's not true, I did this for Xun Yu." Yu Chigong told the story of Chen Jingke again, saying:
"That little real person is particularly sensitive to this matter. If he hears about your affairs, I'm afraid Xun Yu will not be a good man."

Yuchi Baolin frowned and said: "I know he has a bit of face in front of the saint empress, but it shouldn't make you care so much, right?"

Yu Chigong mocked: "You claim to understand people's hearts all day long, so guess how important he is in the hearts of saints and empresses."

……

This banquet cannot be hidden from those who are interested, and everyone can naturally guess what is going on.All parties have their own thoughts on this, but no one has taken any action.

Again, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, and Yu Chigong do not represent the interests of any party, they are only for self-protection, and no one wants to provoke them unless necessary.

Zixiao Temple was relatively close to them. Although many people felt uncomfortable, they didn't say anything.

On the contrary, with the help of allies, everyone dared not easily offend Zixiaoguan.

Time passed, and half a month later, Chen Jingke's restaurant was finally completed and opened for business.
