"My son is not convinced."

Cui Xiong blatantly talked back to him.

The next second, the tea cup exploded next to his legs.

Cui Zhi's eyes were so sinister that he said: "Cui Houbai!"

Cui Xiong stood up from the ground and looked directly into Cui Zhi's eyes without fear: "My father just asked his son who he was hiding for, and now his son also wants to ask his father, are you the one who knew the truth from the beginning to the end?"

"You already knew that Baojun's identity was wrong!"

"If that's not the case, why would father bother to ask this question?"

"Even your son is going to be manipulated by you?"

At first, Cui Xiong tried his best to restrain his emotions from losing control, so as to prevent the father and son from getting into a real argument. However, after a few questions, he became more and more angry and couldn't hide his resentment, so he simply stopped hiding it.

Cui Zhi said nothing, wanting to hear what his son had to say.

Cui Xiong said: "Who is she?"

Cui Zhi was off guard by those three words. He laughed angrily and said in a strange tone: "Why do you ask this? Why, you are being played around by your father. You can't bear it. You are being played by a woman of unknown origin." Can you bear it in the palm of your hand?"

The atmosphere between father and son became even more tense.

In the end, Cui Xiong took a step back.

"Being both sides does not work every time. My father supported the king openly, but secretly gave Kang Guo an advantage and turned a blind eye. If he wanted to use this favor to save the whole Cui family, It would be too simple to think of Kang Guo."

Cui Xiong knew his father's plans and arrangements, which were nothing more than - his father retired, he came to power, the Cui family changed to a new head, and in the future, with the help of Ermi in the court, all the old things would be over.

But, can it really be changed?

Cui Xiong felt that he couldn’t turn it over!

My father has a close relationship with the Society of Gods, which is really difficult to separate. Moreover, the Cui family is huge, and a single move can affect the whole body! There is not only the clan leader in the Qi Kingdom, but other branches are also intertwined. The clan leader of the Kang Kingdom cannot move. One branch cannot be used to move the other branches. After all, they are blood relatives of the same race who have broken bones and connected tendons. How can we tell them clearly? If one is damaged, both will be damaged.

The strength shown by Kang State in this battle far exceeded expectations.

The allied forces of the southwestern countries lasted less than a year even though they were fully engaged.

This little time is not enough for Shen Youli to govern Heyin.

"Hmph, you are very thoughtful. Cui didn't know when his son had such a scheming mind. No matter how bad I am, I have eaten more grains than you for more than 20 years, so you don't need to worry..."

Cui Xiong's plan was not wrong.

It can even be called meticulous and thoughtful.

However, he didn't know Cui Hui's true position, let alone the existence of his grandfather Cui Xiao. The relationship between Cui and Kang Guo was far closer than Cui Xiong had seen. This closeness would allow Cui to buy more time to change. , and retreated calmly.

Cui Zhi became a little annoyed when he mentioned this.

His old man, Taishan, treated his son-in-law with eyes that were not eyes and a nose that was not a nose. During his house arrest, he never showed a good look to his son-in-law. When he heard that Cui Xiong was ill, he immediately summoned Cui Zhi to come over and put pressure on him.

Is Lao Taishan afraid that something bad will happen to Cui Xiong for his mother-in-law?

Hearing that Cui Zhi was confident, Cui Xiong didn't say anything more.

"The son will ask his mother about her matters."

His mother, Cui Hui, has a very good relationship with You Bao. In many cases, they don’t look like mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but like old friends who have known each other for a long time. Cui Xiong used to only think that the two of them were destined, but when they jumped out of the fence, the truth was far more complicated than he thought. His mother couldn’t explain it either.

, he looked for Ermi.

There is always one that comes in handy for the whole family.

Cui Zhi watched his son bow and leave, his blood pressure was a little high.

But, still the same sentence——

The qualified heir is Cui Xiong.

No matter how angry he was, Cui Zhi still had to hold his nose and clean up the opponent's mess. The news that the leader of the Qi Kingdom was assassinated could not be announced truthfully. He could only say that he was too worried and suffered a severe illness. It also happened to coincide with Mei Meng's death in battle.

, Cui Zhi thought about it and came up with the perfect words: "It can be said that 'the Xiaoxiang water breaks, the Wanwei mountains collapse, the beads sink and round, and the jade breaks into pieces'."

The king lost his best friend and lost his spirit.

In just a few days, his condition worsened and he passed away.

Cui Zhi showed up, and the guard, as a disciple promoted by the Cui family, naturally stood on his side. With the shock of military power, the news of the death of the king did not cause turmoil among the courtiers. With the support of all the courtiers, Cui Zhi was responsible for dealing with the death of the king.

to elect a successor.

"The Lord has just passed away, and the matter of his successor..."

Cui Zhi didn't want to get involved in the latter matter.

But other ministers didn't think so.

Someone said: "Cui Gong, a country without a king will be in chaos."

There are also people who have their own thoughts.

They wanted to choose an adult lord from within the clan.

Since the former lord had an heir, it would be easy to provoke criticism by recommending someone else over the heir. Cui Zhi’s support would be no problem: “A country cannot live without a king for a day, let alone in troubled times with internal and external troubles. It is even more important for a king to stabilize the hearts of his subjects.

!”

Cui Zhi chose to pretend to be deaf and dumb on all these topics.

If you really can't fool him, just pretend to be fainted.

He himself was bedridden because of the death of his mother-in-law, and now he is holding on to his weakness to stand up and preside over the funeral of the king. In addition, the king is still his ex-wife, so it is logical that he cannot bear multiple blows and cannot afford to fall ill. There are many times.

Well, the ministers also knew that Cui Zhi did not want to go into this troubled water, so they could only send people to check Cui Zhi's words.

Cui Zhi doesn’t have to join, but he has to express his stance.

Regardless of whether they recommend a young leader or an adult clan leader, Cui Zhi cannot express dissatisfaction. Otherwise, if they choose a candidate and Cui Zhi jumps out and says no, wouldn't it cause trouble? Cui Zhi also gave them reassurance, regardless of whether the new leader is the first

It doesn't matter whether he is a descendant of the master or a descendant of another clan, and then he will continue to be the boss.

The current situation was special, and the body of the king did not remain alive for long.

However, Shuangqi decided to support the spirit and bury it.

The ministers of the Qi State also urgently arrested a thirty-year-old male clan member to succeed the new master. The new master was having a romantic affair at home and was almost stunned by the big pie falling from the sky. When people sit at home, the throne comes from the sky! In this world,

Is there such a good thing?

He hurriedly ascended the throne and immediately made the former master's heir.

When the king received the news, several male favorites who had heirs wanted to fight for power and support their daughters as the country's leader. They had been addicted to listening to the regent's wife from behind the curtain. However, the civil and military ministers of Qi State on the front line blocked the death of the former lord.

Due to the news of his death, the male favorite had just made a move and the new owner had been decided. They had to be kicked out of the royal court and their daughters were taken under protection.

It's more like house arrest than protection.

The first thing the new leader does when he takes office is to send people to negotiate peace.

He said: "Let's not fight this battle for now."

Before the peace envoy could step out of the city gate, Kang State sent an envoy to express condolences. Qi State was in mourning, so Kang State temporarily suspended its attack on Qi State and focused on attacking Qi State's allies. Kang's territory belongs to Kang State every day

All are expanding.

The new owner regretted it just a few days after he was introduced.

When the leader's fresh energy wore off, what was left was endless trouble. He thought he had picked up a big leak, but he didn't expect to get into big trouble. Qi State suffered heavy losses in the last battle, and now it has no troops.

There is no general, no general, no food...

How can we fight this battle?

Kang Guo wanted to annex the southwest?

Just chew it lightly and you don’t have to chew hard.

The leader of the country wanted to use a delaying strategy. He would first surrender and show weakness in exchange for living space and time, and use his interests to stabilize Kang Guo. Give him a few years to recover, and then he would make other plans. This idea cannot be said directly. As a last resort, the new leader can only find Cui.

end.

Cui Zhi still practices Tai Chi with his new master.

Don't ask, just ask because he is seriously ill and his brain is shutting down.

The new owner was rejected twice, and when he was about to go for the third time, he saw the condolence messenger sent by Kang State, and immediately gave up the idea of ​​visiting, feeling resentful of being fooled.

Without him, the envoy’s surname is Cui, from the Cui family.

Cui Zhi’s second son, Cui Mi!

For a moment, the mourning hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. No matter whether they were civil or military, everyone showed hatred on their faces, wishing to kill Cui Mi in front of the mourning body!

"This messenger looks good and kind."

As he spoke, he used his peripheral vision to observe Cui Xiong's expression.

"You are indeed kind-faced. I remember meeting you at the banquet held at Cui Gong's house. Speaking of which, Cui Gong's second son seems to have the same name as the envoy?"

Cui Xiong said without changing his expression: "It's my younger brother."
