Cui Mansion.
"Father, good news. It is said that Li Qian poisoned the emperor, and the Anding Marquis Mansion was surrounded by the imperial army." Cui Jian came to Cui Guojiu excitedly and said.
Cui Guojiu closed his eyes slightly, "Where is this news coming from?"
"Li Qi'an is going to die, isn't it good news for us?" Cui Jian said.
Cui Guojiu opened his eyes and glanced at his son, "Li Qian is finished, your queen aunt will be finished, our Cui family will be finished, King Jing will sit on the throne as he wishes, and he will not tolerate anyone who opposes him." .”
Cui Jian was startled, "What does father mean, do we still have to protect Li Qi'an?"
Cui Guojiu sighed, "No one expected King Jing's move. We fought with Li Qi'an, but we all fell into King Jing's trap. We are not trying to protect Li Qi'an. Your aunt, the Queen, has sent us information. We have to cooperate with Li Qi'an. Only in this way can we fight against Prince Jing, otherwise, we will all be doomed."
"Father, are we, the Cui family, still afraid of Prince Jing?" Cui Jian said.
"Maybe before, we didn't have to be afraid of Prince Jing, but now that Prince Jing has taken control of the palace in such a short period of time, I'm afraid most of the military attachés are on Prince Jing's side. Although my father is the Minister of Rites, to be honest "Without military power, what can we do to compete with King Jing?" Cui Guojiu said.
Cui Jian gritted his teeth, "But working with Li Qi'an, I can't swallow the sigh of relief I had before."
"Didn't my father say that a little impatience will mess up a big plan? Now the world of Dacheng Dynasty is about to change. If you are not careful, you will be shattered to pieces. It doesn't matter if you can't swallow it in one breath. What we have to do is to protect ourselves first. , The one who laughs last is the winner!" Cui Guojiu said.
"However, even if we want to cooperate with him, he may not cooperate with us." Cui Jian said.
"Don't you understand? Cooperating with Li Qi'an does not mean cooperating with him himself, but with the fifth prince. As long as we persuade the fifth prince, we will be considered to have cooperated with him." Cui Guojiu said, "I know, you are ready Fortunately, you haven't taken action against the fifth prince opponent, so we can still take advantage of it."
"Did father want me to find the fifth prince?" Cui Jian said.
"Go with sincerity and say that our Cui family can support him unconditionally." Uncle Cui Guo said.
"What if the fifth prince doesn't have this idea?" Cui Jian said.
"He has this idea. Li Qi'an has been helping him. Now Li Qi'an is in trouble. In other words, it is not only Li Qi'an's trouble, but also his trouble. How could he sit still and wait for death?" Cui Guojiu said.
Cui Jian thought for a moment and nodded, "Then I'll give it a try, but we can't put all our hope in them."...
"We don't put our hope on them, but on ourselves. If you go to see the fifth prince, your father will go to the palace in person." Cui Guojiu said.
"Why did father come to the palace?" Cui Jian asked in shock.
"Show goodwill to Prince Jing!" Cui Guojiu said.
Cui Jian suddenly understood, "So, what my father did was to prepare for both."
"We are different from your Queen's aunt. Your Queen's aunt cares deeply about the prince, but the prince has passed away. Even if your Queen's aunt wants to help a sixth prince up, she cannot replace the prince." Cui Guojiu shook his head and said, "So, We will support whoever gains power, but the situation is still unclear at the moment. Although Prince Jing has indeed exceeded everyone's expectations, Li Qian is not a vegetarian, so we must prepare for both sides. This is exactly what my father said, Let’s see who laughs last.”
"Father, I understand. I will go see the fifth prince now." Cui Jian said.
"Jian'er, you have to remember that now is not the time to be arrogant. If the fifth prince is dissatisfied with you, you must bear it. As a father, I still say that. If you don't bear it, you will mess up your plans." Cui Guojiu ordered.
"Father, you are talking too much. I know what to do." Cui Jian said impatiently.
"Okay, go ahead." Cui Guojiu waved his hand.
After Cui Jian left.
Uncle Cui Guo also made preparations and prepared to enter the palace.
At this time in the palace.
He Rong knelt in front of King Jing.
Wang Chun read out the imperial edict.
The idea was to let He Rong lead the Beijing Cavalry Battalion and cooperate with the Imperial Army to capture the Anding Hou Mansion.
Since He Rong was ordered by Li Yuanxian to lead the troops, he has been in charge of the Beijing Cavalry Camp.
"I can accept the order, but I must meet the emperor!" He Rong raised his head and said.
