Chapter 118 Lamb to be slaughtered
Cui Kuo is a doctor from Dajin.
He was born in the Bolingcui family and was from a high-ranking family. However, in the past few years, he had failed to achieve success in Luoyang.
The reason is of course his father's identity.
Cui Hong stood in the wrong position during the court dispute and was hated by Jia Nanfeng.
Although his life is worry-free, Cui Hong's political life has also come to an end.
Even the junior of the Boling Cui family, Cui Kuo, has been in the position of doctor for several years, although he is determined to be a high-ranking scholar.
The current Holy Emperor also doesn't like aristocratic families. This can be clearly seen from his re-employment of Marquis Guangyuan.
Although he was born in a good family, his father, because of the previous turmoil in the court, was no longer interested in political affairs and did not have much care for Cui Kuo's future.
With no way to seek refuge, and his father not having a good plan for his future, Cui Kuo had no choice but to change his family and find a way for himself.
There are several people in the court today who can be followed.
Originally, Cui Kuo's first target was the Langya Wang family.
After all, everyone comes from aristocratic families and their connections are not bad.
However, after meeting people from the Langya Wang family, Cui Kuo discovered that the matter was not that simple.
The Wang family of Langya did have a family demeanor, and they never treated him as an outsider with contempt, but they never treated him as one of their own.
Cui Kuo finally understood the truth after spending several months behind the Langya Wang family.
The Langya Wang family has a great business, and there are many talented people in the family. The positions in the court are more wolves than meat. For an outsider like him, even if he is born in the Bolingcui family, there is no back door to enter.
If the Langya Wang family is not good enough, the remaining candidates are worthy of consideration.
One is the King of Pingyuan, one is the King of Zhao, one is the King of Chengdu, and the third is the Marquis of Guangyuan.
Of course, Marquis Guangyuan was the first to be eliminated after he listed the four people.
The reason is also very simple.
Although Marquis Guangyuan is deeply favored by His Majesty, he is only from a humble background after all. If he does not come from a high family, if he follows Guangyuan Marquis, among other things, he will lose his face in the first place.
Besides, Marquis Guangyuan is young, and I don’t know how long His Majesty’s favor will last.
Compared with things like pampering, Cui Kuo believes more in status.
As a result, his remaining choices became three.
King Zhao, King Pingyuan, King Chengdu.
Among these three people, King Pingyuan was the first to be eliminated by Cui Kuo.
The King of Pingyuan is indeed in a high position, but like his father, he is not interested in political affairs. If you follow such a person, you will not achieve anything, and naturally you will not get any benefits.
If your boss is not motivated, what future will you have if you follow him?
Apart from the King of Pingyuan, the only ones who are highly valued by His Majesty are the King of Zhao and the King of Chengdu.
Of these two people, Cui Kuo certainly wanted to be appreciated by the latter.
The King of Chengdu has advantages over the King of Zhao in both age and talent, but it's a pity...
He had no connections with the King of Chengdu, but he was quite close to the Li family of Zhao County.
And this Zhaojun Li family was the one who supported King Zhao behind the scenes.
With the support of the Li family of Zhao County, Cui Kuo immediately met King Zhao and expressed his intention to come.
And the title certificate is the sheep's appearance.
Cui Kuo naturally also liked the sheep Xianrong.
but...
Women are nothing more than clothes. Women cannot stop a man's ambitions.
Therefore, when King Zhao said that he would draft a talent for the emperor, Cui Kuo was the first to name Yang Xianrong.
It is said that Yang Xianrong's mind and beauty are both excellent. If he enters the palace, he will definitely be favored by His Majesty.
In addition, he is familiar with Yang Xianrong and knows the affairs of the Yang family very well.
With him as the inner ghost, King Zhao could easily capture Yang Xianrong.
Regarding family ties, brother Yang Xianrong killed someone under the design of King Zhao Sima Lun, and was caught red-handed.
Although the law is meant to restrain the weak, the Yang family is not a strong one.
With this handle, the sheep Xianrong can be restrained from family ties.
And Cui Kuo knew about Yang Xianrong and knew about his brother's affairs, so he might not really make Yang Xianrong relent, so he added his own bargaining chip.
If Yang Xianrong is not interested, he can stand up and tell what happened between him and Yang Xianrong.
A woman who is waiting for marriage secretly has a secret love with a strange man and has many secret meetings.
Not to mention people in the palace, even in aristocratic families, such a woman will be looked down upon by others.
With this information in hand, Cui Kuo could not imagine that Yang Xianrong would have any chance of making a comeback.
As for having done these things, does Cui Kuo feel guilty in his heart?
Maybe.
But he doesn't feel it now.
After Yang Xianrong was favored by the emperor, Cui Kuo was immediately put in high regard by King Zhao. With King Zhao's blessing, his political resources are almost endless. This year, he may be able to climb up from the position of doctor.
Already.
The Three Lords and Nine Ministers may not be able to do it in their lifetime.
Thinking of this, Cui Kuo couldn't help laughing.
"Oh, by the way, I have to go to Prince Zhao's Mansion today. It's better to spend more time with Prince Zhao. It's always good to get acquainted with him more."
Thinking of this, Cui Kuo immediately smiled on his face.
"Leave the mansion and go to Prince Zhao's Mansion."
Under the arrangements of the servant's entourage, Cui Kuo got on his slightly trembling carriage and horse and headed in the direction of Prince Zhao's Mansion.
The Boling Cui family's mansion is also on Zhuque Street, so the distance from Prince Zhao's mansion is actually limited.
I was whistling a little tune in my heart, and my fingers were beating the rhythm without listening.
After following King Zhao, Cui Kuo suddenly felt that his path forward had become wider.
However, what made Cui Kuo a little confused was that he didn't know if he was too happy, but the road to King Zhao seemed very long.
I have already played several tunes, but the Prince Zhao’s Mansion hasn’t arrived yet?
Cui Kuo frowned and said displeasedly: "Prince Zhao's Mansion hasn't arrived yet?"
"Master, there is still a short way to go. There was a noble passage on Zhuque Street just now, so I took a detour."
Noble person?
Where can the noble man dare to clear the streets on Zhuque Street?
Cui Kuo could only think of a few people in his mind.
"Hurry up, I can't wait any longer."
"No, the little one must do it as soon as possible."
When will I be able to clear the streets on Zhuque Street myself?
As soon as he heard about this noble man's son, Cui Kuo's heart became warm.
The future of the Bolingcui family now rests on my shoulders!
only...
I have been thinking about it for so long, and Prince Zhao’s Mansion hasn’t arrived yet?
Cui Kuo himself has walked this Zhuque Street more than once. He also knows most of the major roads and byways. How can he still walk for so long?
Cui Kuo opened the curtain, and his face was suddenly stunned.
Where is Zhuque Street?
Zhuque Street is full of high-walled courtyards, which are neat and tidy. This low courtyard, covered with yellow mud, is obviously within the scope of the outer city.
There are only a few people around, what's going on?
