Chang'an is good

Yao Yi first opened his mouth to ask Chang Suining's thoughts on the position of Crown Princess.

Chang Suining repeated what he said before answering Cui Jing: "I have no intention of doing this."

She admitted that she had thought about the possibility of "just doing the trick" last night, so it would be better to do what she wished after Mingming, and it might be an opportunity and a shortcut for her to be this puppet——

But this idea was only a momentary matter, and she was quickly denied it.

This matter is too risky and too taken for granted. Since the Empress Ming has chosen her, she has full confidence in controlling her.

Moreover, it is absolutely impossible to leave the possibility for others to walk the path that he has walked in the future.

Furthermore, if she chooses to be the queen's pawn, she is doomed to be an enemy of the Changsun family before the overall situation is settled. People will also be forced to be involved in this whirlpool.

Therefore, if it is necessary to say that it is a shortcut for her to become the princess, it is probably a shortcut to die early and reincarnate early.

Taking another [-] steps back, even if it was a good choice, she would have to weigh it again. In the end, the little prince is Li Shang's nephew with the same surname——

Although she has no bottom line, she will choose to abide by some minimum human ethics according to her acceptance level...

She couldn't accept such a thing as marrying a nephew who was related to her by blood.

Seeing her shaking her head, Yao Yi was quietly relieved: "That's fine, I shouldn't be in this muddy water."

He was really worried that she wanted to be famous, and wherever there was a dangerous wall, her little girl would agree to be the princess.

If so, it would be a mess...

Yao Yi looked at Chang Kuo, and when he was about to discuss with the other party, Chang Kuo had already stood up: "In that case, then I will go to see the saint right now and explain this matter!"

Yao Yi was taken aback: "...Is this method a bit too straightforward?"

"As long as it's easy to use!" Chang Kuo said: "Anyway, the sage has not issued an order yet, so if I refuse it as soon as possible, it will not be considered a disobedience. I think I have worked hard for most of my life. If I refuse, the sage will not Will act by force!"

"That being said... but in this way, the sage will be estranged and suspicious when he treats the Changfu." Yao Yi shook his head disapprovingly: "Even if we don't tear ourselves apart for a while, if there is an excuse someday..."

This is not to say how small the sage is, but that the emperor's heart is like this, and it is easy and impossible to condone such a blatant act of departure by a courtier.

Otherwise, everyone is like this, where is the emperor's prestige, and how can he obey the people?

"Then demote my official position!" Chang Kuo disagreed: "Otherwise, I will resign myself and leave Beijing to return to my hometown."

Anyway, being a general of hussars is meaningless.

If you can't even protect your own daughter, then it will be even more boring!

Yao Yi sighed when he heard it: "It's easy to say, but if you really resign and leave the capital like this, it will be as hard as heaven if you want to come back in the future. How can you say that you don't want an official position that you have fought for with your flesh and blood... General Chang, you are a military general who has to cut the mess with a sharp knife, and it is better to let it go first."

He sighed, and Chang Kuo also stared: "If you have a better way, then tell me and listen to it!"

"Isn't this being discussed..." Yao Yi waved helplessly at him: "General Chang might as well sit down first."

He stood up like a mountain, and he blocked all the light.

Chang Suining also said, "Don't worry, father."

Just as Yao Tingwei said just now, Lao Chang’s current official position was bought by him on the battlefield with his life. Even though he has no real power now, a first-rank official is still a first-rank official. This official title has countless uses and should not be for such things Say no and don't.

If there is no other way available, she should do the refusal herself, instead of letting Lao Chang come forward to bear the empress' suspicion for her.

In order to let Chang Kuo get rid of this idea, she simply said: "If it's not possible, I will pick a few people who don't like me when I turn around, and beat them up. Dad might as well be furious when the time comes. Feeling heartbroken, in order to appease the wrath of the families, they punished me to become a monk and become an aunt."

Now Yao Tingwei stared: "... What are these methods?"

His family's Ran'er was still arguing to become a monk, and he managed to stabilize himself, so why is there another one!
"What's wrong with being a monk and sister-in-law." Chang Suining disagreed: "I will return to vulgarity when necessary."

In short, it all depends on what she needs to do.

Yao Tingwei: "...!"

The nunnery is her safe haven, and the Bodhisattva Buddha in the nunnery is her shield!

Xi'er couldn't help whispering: "Girl, this method sounds like a waste of merit... I wonder if the merit we accumulated in Dayun Temple last time is enough?"

But if the girl is determined to do this, she will risk her life and help the girl to accumulate enough merit!

Chang Suining didn't care much.

For things like merit, use it if you have enough, if it is not enough, just ask her to do things for her convenience, and leave the rest to retribution.

"It's not advisable to be an aunt..." Now Chang Kuo came to persuade others: "Ning Ning, let's discuss it again."

I always feel that this method sounds roundabout, but it is actually more exciting than his.

Suddenly he understood Yao Tingwei's mood when he persuaded him just now.

At this time, Cui Jing, who had been listening quietly, spoke.

"Why don't I come forward and ask the saint to give me a marriage—"

Chang Kuo and others all looked at him.

"Marriage?"

"For whom to marry?"

Cui Jing looked at Chang Suining, and calmly said: "Give me a marriage with the girl from your house."

Chang Suining was stunned.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

Xi'er trembled and covered her mouth.

Chang Suian's eyeballs were about to run away from home: "Cui, Governor Cui..."

"At that time, I will ask the sage to give me a marriage in front of everyone." Cui Jing looked at Chang Suining and said, "When the sage asks, you just need to wait for me to refuse as an excuse."

Xi'er's hand that covered her mouth trembled again—to reject Chief Cui?I'm afraid it can be included in the girl's record!

Cui Jing continued: "Since this is the case, I will not force you to agree, but I will express my position in front of everyone, and I will wait until you are interested. I will not marry you in this life."

Chang Suining was almost stunned.

Will his sacrifice be too great?
Chang Sui Ning was not the only one who was stunned, after Cui Jing finished speaking, the room was still silent for a moment.

Until Chang Sui'an suddenly stood up.

"Wait..." Chang Suian swallowed nervously, and looked at Cui Jing: "Let me first... Let me confirm with Governor Cui that the above are expedient measures to help Ningning get out of trouble. It's just a show, it's all fake, right?"

It really means a lot to him!

Without Cui Jing's answer, Chang Kuo said first: "Nonsense, otherwise!"

Can this kind of thing be true?

How did he give birth to such a stupid son... As expected, he still let her go!
"Oh, haha..." Chang Suian laughed dryly and relaxed, "That's fine."

He thought Chief Cui really wanted to be his brother-in-law!
He was so frightened that he was sweating.

Seeing the young man wipe the sweat from his forehead and sit back, Cui Jing's mood was a little delicate: "..."

Yao Tingwei returned to his senses for a moment, his eyes brightened slightly: "This method is wonderful."

In this way, the Chang family and Suining will hardly be affected in any way.

but……

Yao Tingwei looked at Cui Jing with a bit of conscience: "But in this way, will the sage feel that Cui Dadu violated the holy will?"

"I have never made any request with the saint in these years—" Cui Jing said: "It may not be a bad thing to show his selfishness and weakness."

Yao Tingwei thought about it intently, and he understood clearly.

The sage treats this Chief Cui without fear, because this young man has almost no selfishness or weakness to speak of.

Such a person is the easiest to make the king feel uneasy.

Losing an undecided candidate for the crown princess, in exchange for an important minister who holds military power, showed his weakness. As the young man said just now, this may not be a bad thing from the perspective of a saint.

The pros and cons of a matter are always weighed, and others who do the same thing are suspected of resisting the order, but it is feasible to do it with a courtier like Cui Jing who holds a lot of power.

When a person has enough power as a bargaining chip, he can be willful out of selfishness, and he can occasionally "disregard the overall situation". This is also a kind of privilege.

Or why do people like to climb up?
Damn, thinking about it actually made me a little jealous.

Thinking of this, Yao Tingwei couldn't help looking at Chang Kuo: "...So, if you want to do what you want, you have to have weight. General Chang will not mention the words of abandoning the official again and again in the future. It should be mentioned, it is more important to work hard.”

Chang Kuo: "?"

Why did you still spur him on?
After urging Chang Kuo casually, Yao Tingwei continued to savor the beauty of this method.

First of all, I asked the sage to give me a marriage. In addition to realizing that the sage wanted the girl from the Chang family to be the princess, it was also because the Cui family did not allow intermarriage between the children of the family and the other four families. There is a reason for everything, and I was forced to help...

Secondly, please ask for a marriage first, and then make a vow not to marry a non-qing after being rejected...Everyone has made an oath in public, does the emperor have the nerve to let his sweetheart become a princess?
He started to join the army at the age of 12, fought for Dasheng and the imperial court until this age and has not yet married. Finally, he has a sweetheart. Not to mention trying his best to make a match, a monarch can't win people's love, right?

As for whether the sage would suspect that Cui Dadu had other plans for this move, would he use it to play for the benefit of the gentry officials?

There is no need to worry too much about this point—it must be known that Chief Cui Cui is the eldest grandson of the Cui family. It is well known that he was chosen by the Cui clan to inherit the position of Patriarch. This identity is the biggest suspicion. Regardless of whether the sage trusts or doubts him, there will be no substantial increase or decrease because of this incident.

Regarding whether Cui Jing would arouse the suspicion of the sage, Chang Kuo didn't think as deeply as Yao Yi, so he expressed his worries, and sure enough, Cui Jing's answer was exactly the same as Yao Yi's thought.

He doesn't care about the impact of this matter on him, and he doesn't need to care about it.

The above-mentioned doubts based on the overall situation were basically dispelled, and Chang Suining said a personal doubt: "But this matter will definitely have a great impact on Cui Dadu's future marriage—"

The other party treats her as "I will not marry you if you are not a Qing", so how can the other people and the little lady next to her have the courage to approach her?
"No." Cui Jing said: "I have already sworn in the Cui Clan's ancestral hall in front of all the clansmen that I will never marry a wife in this life."

Chang Sui Ning was stunned.

Sworn never to marry a wife, and still in Cui's ancestral hall...

He really knows how to show his rebellion.

Thinking about it, the doctor of Cui's family should be very busy on that day.

Cui Jing looked at her: "But this matter may temporarily affect your marriage—"

"No." Chang Suining said without hesitation, "I have no intention of getting married."

Yao Yi's eyes showed emotion.

One swore not to marry, and the other did not intend to marry at all...

Sure enough, crouching dragon and phoenix chicks always appear in pairs.

This method is really determined by the two people according to their needs, and it really doesn't fit the same way when used by another person.

Hearing that Chang Suining said that he had no intention of marrying, Cui Jing was slightly taken aback, and then said: "It's okay if you change your mind in the future, if you have someone you want to marry in the future, just tell me, and I can call you out if necessary." I have already entered the Taoist sect, even though I am a secular disciple, I will never marry another wife—”

He added: "Furthermore, Cui has been marching all year round, so he might die in battle one day."

Chang Suining opened his mouth and said: "...the former is enough."

Yao Yi was also an eye-opener.

Can be a Taoist priest when necessary, and even die on the battlefield when necessary... This after-sales service is too good!
He couldn't help asking: "Cui Dadu...why do you help Mrs. Chang like this?"

Cui Jing looked at Chang Suining: "We are friends."

The youth's tone and demeanor can be called clear and firm.

Because he had never made friends with anyone, he tried to find some ways to be friends from books as a reference. Many books said that friends can go through fire and water and go through fire and water——

What he did was nothing in comparison.

The young general, who has experienced many battles, now shows a sense of inexperience in making friends with others, which is not a big contrast.

Looking into those eyes, Chang Suining was a little moved and felt ashamed.

She admitted that when she mentioned the word "friends" that night, she treated it out of a very casual mood, but she never thought that Governor Cui's view of making friends would be so sincere and unreserved——

It seems that she feels a little like an empty-handed best friend.

Looking at the young man, Yao Tingwei hesitated to speak, and fell into the swing between "Are you still short of friends?" and "I suggest you don't make too many friends".

"What do you think?" Cui Jing finally asked Chang Suining.

Looking at each other, Chang Suining nodded without refusing or hesitating: "In this way, I owe Cui Dadu a favor this time." Although she is not hopeless, it is not without other solutions , but Cui Jing's strategy is indeed the most appropriate and comprehensive.No matter how you look at it, the impact of this approach is minimal.

She chose to agree because she considered the overall situation rationally, and also because it came from a friend's kindness.

And even though they were friends, they didn't accept the reason for everything the other party gave.

On the contrary, the more friends you have, the more you should cherish each other's contribution.

She is very good at being friends with people, and she will not disappoint his sincerity.

The word "humanity" in the girl's mouth does not sound like much guarantee, but it has a lot of weight in Cui Jing's ears.

Although he doesn't need her to return any favors, he can feel the sincerity in her eyes that also treats him as a friend——

So, he also nodded.

……

When Chang Suining and others came out of the room, Cui Lang who was waiting in the courtyard turned his head when he heard the movement.

He was not alone in the courtyard, Qiao Yumian also came - she came to Chang Suining, because Cui Lang said that the house was discussing matters, so she waited in the courtyard with Cui Lang.

At this moment, Qiao Yumian went forward to meet her: "Ningning..."

Chang Suining held the hand she extended, whispered to her: "Don't worry, Sister Mianmian, a solution has been decided."

Qiao Yumian came here precisely for the "Night Pearl", and now she felt at ease after hearing the words, and didn't ask any more questions.

At this time, Cui Lang looked out of the hospital and said with emotion: "...just now I saw several doctors coming out from there, judging by the expressions on their faces, they should not be very well."

(Ning Ning: I was shocked by his sincerity.

Therefore, today is the day when Xiao Cui and Ning Ning's friendship is sublimated! )
