Cui Lingyun picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "What are your plans now?"
Cui Lingdao said calmly: "Sitting on the mountain and watching the fight between tigers, I have studied Lin Xuan carefully. This person is called a man who must retaliate. He can definitely tell that it was the Wang family who did it. This person is a disaster after all. Let's get rid of him with the help of the Wang family.
It’s not bad to drop.”
Although he failed to test Li Shimin's bottom line, it was a good thing to get rid of Lin Xuan.
Cui Lingyun was not surprised at all and asked: "Are you so confident that the Wang family can get rid of him? Don't forget, the Wang family just failed!"
"Others don't understand the background of the Wang family, so don't we understand it? If Lin Xuan can bear this tone, the Wang family may not take action against him for the time being, but do you think it is possible?" Cui Lingdao said confidently.
Cui Lingyun was silent. He couldn't refute what Cui Lingdao said.
To their family, which has been passed down for hundreds of years, Lin Xuan is insignificant.
If Li Shimin hadn't suppressed the aristocratic family and the aristocratic family had too many concerns, it would be useless for Lin Xuan to stay in Chang'an.
Between Lin Xuan and the Wang family, no matter where you look at it, Lin Xuan has no chance of winning.
Cui Lingdao smiled and said: "It would be better if Lin Xuan, in order to take revenge on the Wang family, uses some strange and obscene techniques to cause a greater blow to the Wang family."
Cui Lingyun glanced at him in surprise and said: "The main thing now is to deal with the suppression of the Wang family, not the time to suppress the Wang family. Don't mess around."
The Wang family was the first aristocratic family before, and the Cui family is the first aristocratic family now.
The Wang family wants to regain the title of the first aristocratic family, and of course the Cui family cannot let it go.
Everyone in the aristocratic family knows about the quarrel between their two families.
But Li Shimin has put a lot of pressure on their family, and they can't have too much trouble with the Wang family now.
"I know, but what does Lin Xuan's action have to do with us?" Cui Lingdao sighed and said: "If the Wang family can succeed, it will be like slapping Li Shimin in the face. He can't do nothing. As long as he takes action, let
Other aristocratic families are aware of the threat. Let us unite and wait until the Tang Dynasty launches troops on the grassland. This will be our chance. What a pity, what a pity!"
Aristocratic families can be passed down for hundreds of thousands of years because they are stable.
A century-old dynasty, a thousand-year-old family!
It's all nonsense that the five surnames and Qi Wang are unwilling to compete for the imperial power.
If this is really the case, the royal family originally had five surnames and seven branches, so why did it want to conquer the world?
To put it bluntly, the family just wants stability.
At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the world was in chaos. Those who fought for the world, except the Li family, where were the others?
For aristocratic families, preserving the family property is more important than anything else. No matter who wins the world, they will be needed to govern the world.
If the family really disdains the royal family, they will not choose some people to support them secretly when the world is in chaos.
They supported the Li family to seize the world and gained a lot of benefits.
Later, they supported Li Jiancheng and wanted to obtain greater benefits. When Li Shimin promised greater benefits, they abandoned Li Jiancheng without hesitation.
When Li Shimin launched the Xuanwumen Revolution, there were only 800 people.
The aristocratic family at that time was not like it is now, and their power in Chang'an was still very strong.
If they intervened, Li Shimin would never succeed.
After Li Shimin succeeded, not only did he not give them the benefits as agreed, but he turned around and suppressed them.
By the time they reacted, Li Shimin had already stabilized the situation.
At that time, the Five Surnames and Qi Wang even prepared to raise an army, but other aristocratic families did not agree.
For them, stability is the most important thing. If they don't succeed, the family may be destroyed, and no one is willing to take the risk.
Of course, this is also because Li Shimin has a good grasp of the speed of suppressing the aristocratic family.
Cui Lingdao cooperated with Lin Xuan and calculated that the Wang family would take action against Lin Xuan.
Killing a marquis in Chang'an was equivalent to a slap in Li Shimin's face. Li Shimin could not bear it anymore.
As long as Li Shimin takes any action, other aristocratic families will think that Li Shimin is going to take action against the aristocratic family.
They don't care at all if the Wang family is at fault first.
They won't let Li Shimin start this thing, otherwise who knows whether he will be the next Wang family?
The Cui family secretly tried to attract some allies, and when the Tang Dynasty sent troops to the grassland, they raised troops in the name of Li Tai. Who said that the Cui family would not be the next Sima family?
What a thousand-year-old family is not comparable to the rich royal family in the world.
Cui Lingyun pondered for a while and then said: "Family inheritance is the most important thing. When you do something, you should think more about it."
He knew what Cui Lingdao had planned. Although he didn't agree with it, he had to obey the family leader's arrangements.
After saying that, Cui Lingyun stood up and left.
When Cui Lingyun walked to the door, Cui Lingdao said, "Do you know why dad made me the head of the family?"
Cui Lingyun trembled all over. It was rumored that he gave up his position as the head of the family.
In fact, before his death, the previous family leader asked him to give up his position as the family leader, but he did not tell him the reason.
If this news gets out, it will definitely cause an uproar.
A family that pays most attention to its firstborn would actually make the decision to let its second son inherit the title of patriarch.
This is also the reason why there was news from the Cui family that Cui Lingyun voluntarily gave up his position as the head of the family.
Cui Lingyun has been unable to figure out over the years why his father made such a decision.
But he has been reluctant to ask Cui Lingdao.
"Why?"
Cui Lingyun's voice was very hoarse, and the three short words seemed to be squeezed out of his throat.
Cui Lingdao said: "Because your heart is too small!"
Cui Lingyun was trembling a little, but finally said nothing and walked out.
Some staggering steps showed that Cui Lingyun's heart was not calm.
Cui Lingdao looked at Cui Lingyun's figure with an incomprehensible expression.
Cui Guang, the previous head of the Cui family, took over the leadership of the Cui family during the Sui Dynasty.
During the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, he chose to support Li Yuan.
Li Yuan was just a branch of the Li family in Longxi. After taking over the world, he became more noble than the Cui family, the first family at that time, which deeply hurt Cui Guang.
So what if the Cui family is the best family in the world? They don't have to bow their heads in front of the royal family.
Cui Guang was very unwilling. He also wanted the Cui family to become a royal family.
At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan did not suppress the aristocratic family. On the contrary, he treated the aristocratic family very favorably. The Cui family alone would not be able to succeed.
He was already old and frail at the time, so he had no choice but to pin his hopes on the next head of the family.
Cui Lingyun had been being groomed as the next head of the family at that time. Maintaining the stability of the family was deeply rooted in his bones, so he was not a good candidate.
On the contrary, Cui Lingdao was very ambitious and always wanted to be the head of the family, so Cui Guang chose him.
In order to pave the way for Cui Lingdao, Cui Guang personally persuaded Cui Lingyun to give up his position as the head of the family.
In order to keep the family secret, Cui Guang did not tell Cui Lingyun the reason.
…
Taiyuan Wangjia
Wang Yuan once again summoned the main members of the family to gather together.
"Second brother, please tell them." Wang Yuan said.
Wang Kuan had anger on his face and said angrily: "The Cui family said they don't make paper, so it doesn't count the voice of the Wang family. But for the sake of the family's covenant, as long as the Wang family agrees, the Cui family will only sell in the south, and the north will be given to us.
."
"The Cui family goes too far!"
"The paper business belongs to our Wang family. They ignore the covenant and want to seize the south. This is impossible!"
"Since the Cui family is unkind, don't blame us for being unjust. Our Wang family can also do some of the Cui family's business!"
As soon as Wang Kuan finished speaking, the hall exploded.
After the southern crossing from Yongjia, most of the world's literati went to the south.
Although many people have returned to their homeland over the years, there are far more literati in the south than in the north.
The South accounts for 70% of the world's paper business.
