In the Daming Palace, Yuan Shu was righteous and talking.
"First of all, Wechen talks about Cui Xiangli's great achievements. He broke into the Criminal Department to kill Zhang Changyou, but for His Majesty to reinstate the throne? No, it's clear that after he killed Zhang Changyou, he couldn't clean up the mess, so he took the risk to support His Majesty's reinstatement. For this matter, Weichen has a good comparison! โ
"Than what?"
"Cui Xiang is like a gambler who loses all the money in his family. In the end, in order to turn the book, I made a last effort and bet the house and ancestral house on the gambling table. And His Royal Highness the Prince, you, are Cui Xiang's last gamble. Now that Cui Xiang has won, the ending is not bad. But if he loses, His Royal Highness the Prince, you will have to be buried with him! โ
These words are too vicious, and they can be compared with the later Wang Qinruo's false accusation of Kou Zhun for "desperate betting".
Fortunately, Li Xian is not Song Zhenzong, although he has all kinds of shortcomings, he has one of the biggest advantages, which is worthy of Cui Geng's dedication to him, that is, he values feelings.
Li Xian said disapprerovingly: "This is a heart-wrenching word, is there anything else?" โ
A ray of disappointment flashed on Yuan Shuji's face, and he said, "The second is that Cui Xiang's strength is too strong. Water and land transfer envoys, Jing Zhaoyin, Luantai Pavilion Sanpin, these official positions are just that. He also has secret organizations such as secret halls and Freemasonry in his hands, and he can easily transfer hundreds of private soldiers. This time, Cui Geng ordered Gao Xianzhi to secretly kill people, and the court didn't even know about it! If His Majesty adds another official to him, I am afraid that he will ...... It is difficult to control, and this is not the way for His Majesty to protect the heroes. โ
If he encounters power-sensitive emperors such as Tang Taizong, Han Gaozu, and Wu Zetian, Yuan Shuji's words will definitely be heard.
However, even if he is unlucky, in front of him is Li Xian, who is not very sensitive to power.
In history, Li Xian even said, "What if I give the world to Wei Xuanzhen?" Li Xian even let Wu Sansi take sole control of the imperial court, and now Cui Geng's matter is really nothing.
Li Xiandao: "The stronger my son-in-law's power is, the more stable my throne will be, he can't rebel and become the emperor, right?" Yuan Xiangqi is worried. โ
The blue color on Yuan Shuji's face flashed, and he continued: "Weichen has a third reason: it is rumored that after His Majesty ascended the throne, he treated the Tai~ sub-party favorably, but he continued to suppress the Xiangwang and Princess Taiping. If Cui Xiang is not rewarded, the people of the world will not be able to blame His Majesty for this matter. โ
Li Xian still disagreed, and said: "For the sake of some rumors, I have to treat my son-in-law lightly, so what does it mean for me to be the emperor?" โ
Yuan Shuji was stunned by Li Xian, so he had to take out the last trump card and said: "Weichen's fourth reason is for Princess Anle." โ
"What do you mean by that?"
"Counting Princess Anle, Cui Geng already has three wives. Among these three wives, the identity of Pingyang Princess Radami Zhu is not under Princess Anle. Although Lu Ruolan's identity is a little worse, she is Cui Geng's wife after all. Even in terms of talent and appearance, Princess An Le does not have any advantage. โ
Li Xian said unhappily: "What does it have to do with not letting me reward Cui Geng in a big way?" โ
"Your Majesty does not reward him now, leaving room for the future. If he marries and is in harmony with Princess Anle, His Majesty will reward him. On the contrary, if Cui Geng treats the princess badly, he will belittle him. What if you reward Cui Geng to the top now? Since then, Cui Geng can only be degraded, not rewarded. In the long run, can the relationship between Cui Xiang and Princess An Le be good? โ
"This ......"
Thinking of his beloved daughter's happiness after marriage, Li Xian was really moved by Yuan Shuji's words, and he pondered for a long time, and said: "Yuan Xiang's words are very reasonable, but Cui Geng has always made great contributions, and it is not appropriate to reward meritorious service, right?" โ
There is another sentence that he didn't say, this merit is not rewarded, and it is also very detrimental to stabilizing Li Bao'er's position.
When Yuan Shuji heard this, he was both happy and a little disdainful. Happily, Li Xian finally "followed the advice". What I despise is, okay, I told you so many great relationships, and you don't care. Now when it comes to Li Bao'er, you are moved, you are really a faint gentleman! If we loyal and good people don't grasp the power, this court looks like a pill!
He tried his best to suppress the contempt on his face, and said: "This is also simple, Weichen promises that as long as Your Majesty does two things, it will be enough for Cui Xiang not only to care about the reward, but also to be grateful to Your Majesty." โ
"What two things?"
"First, it was given to Lu Xiong. You can announce that you will transfer the credit of Cui Xiang this time to Lu Xiong, and posthumously award him the governor of Guangzhou and the marquis of Raoping County. Cui Xiang and Lu Xiong have a deep father-son relationship, and they are only grateful to Your Majesty, so how can they blame you? โ
Although Lu Xiong has no descendants, it is still of great practical significance to posthumously crown Lu Xiong. One is that people believe that there is a spirit after death; Second, there are strict regulations on funerals in these years, such as the ceremonial guard for funerals, and even the size and height of the grave. No matter how powerful Cui Geng is, he can't go beyond it. But after Li Xian's will, he could bury Lu Xiong with the gift of a marquis, and he could be regarded as taking the last care of the old man.
Li Xian thought for a moment and said, "Yuan Xiang's compensation method is also reasonable. However, I still feel that I have treated Cui Aiqing a little badly. โ
"Your Majesty, don't worry, Weichen has a second way to compensate, that is, to allow Cui Xiang to marry Princess Anle three months later."
"How is that possible?" Li Xiandao: "Three months later, Lu Xiong had just been buried. According to the etiquette system, Cui Aiqing should keep filial piety for three years. Wouldn't it be a great disfilial piety for him to get married at this time? โ
Yuan Shuji shook his head and said, "That's not the case. Weichen thinks that Cui Xiang is not married now, which is a big unfilial piety. โ
"What do you mean?"
"Sage cloud, unfilial piety has three nos. Lu Xiong accepted Cui Xiang as a son, didn't he expect him to give birth to a son and continue the incense for the Lu family? May I ask Your Majesty, how old is Cui Geng now? โ
"It's like thirty-five."
"It's still true, if your parents are not there, you can be called old at forty. Cui Geng is only five years away from forty. If he marries the princess again in three years, who knows if he will be able to have a son? To put it mildly, there are unforeseen circumstances, and it's hard to say whether Cui Xiang can survive until then! โ
"You...... You dare to curse Cui Aiqing! โ
"It's not a curse, but let Your Majesty consider this possibility, and the so-called precautionary measures are also. Those who die early under the age of 40 are very popular, and they must be guarded against! โ
The medical conditions in those years were just like that, and the average life expectancy was less than 40. Although the average life expectancy of rich and noble families is higher, in general, Yuan Shuji's words are not too much.
Li Xian frowned and said, "Let's think twice." โ
Yuan Shuji observed his words, added another fire, and said: "Princess Anle is already in her teens, does Your Majesty still want her to spend another three years?" โ
In this era, most women get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and Li Bao'er is already a standard "leftover girl".
Yuan Shuji's words finally became the last straw that broke the camel's back, and Li Xian nodded and said, "Okay, just according to what Yuan Xiang said." โ

Jingzhao Yin Yamen.
"What? Your Majesty wants to win love from me, and in a month you want to marry Princess An Le? After Cui Geng listened to the holy decree passed on by Liu Laosi, he couldn't help but feel shocked.
Liu Laosi persuaded: "Presumably, Old Man Lu also hopes that you will give birth to a noble son early, right?" Erlang, you don't want to resist the decree and make Your Majesty unhappy. โ
Cui Geng said: "Filial piety comes first, regardless of the heart, the official is not worried about the old man's spirit in the sky, but ...... Who gave His Majesty this bad idea? โ
Liu Laosi said: "Your Majesty is afraid that Erlang will misunderstand you, and you really told the miscellaneous family about this, it is Yuan Shuji." โ
"It's the old guy!" Cui Geng gritted his teeth and said, "Even if this official has some personal grudges with him, he won't use this method to harm me, right?" Could it be ...... Does he really want to fight with his own official? โ
Liu Laosi heard what Cui Geng said, and wondered: "Yuan Shuji is just preventing His Majesty from rewarding you, to the point of not dying?" โ
Cui Geng sneered: "It's a trivial matter not to reward the official, but it's a big deal for me to marry Princess Anle now, he wants to ...... Let this official be ruined! โ
