"It can be transferred back quickly."

Guilt appeared on the regent's handsome face.

Before he got married to her, the eldest sister's family ran away from a talent she valued very much.

"No need."

Mu Tingxue rejected her fiancé's kindness and said with a smile, "Mr. Xiao is going to take office, and he can reunite with Huang Zhu. With their master and apprentice, Baidi City can be protected."

Yan Yang felt even more guilty.

Mu Tingxue took in his expression completely. She put her hand on his big hand and patted it gently: "As the saying goes, everything goes well when the family is in harmony. That ends here."

She did not say that Xiao Wangzhi took the initiative to apply for the post of governor of Yingdi City, nor did she mention that her husband might rebel.

She never intended to use the regent's influence to seize the position of Zhongshu Ling.

If she succeeds in her fight for power one day and does not have a talented team of her own, and has to rely on Yan Yang to solve everything, then what is the difference between her and Xie Xuanchen?Just a puppet!

Yan Yang lowered his eyelids, looked at her white and tender little hands, and intertwined their fingers. He felt more and more that his fiancée was generous and virtuous. She had sacrificed so much for the sake of family harmony and not to make it difficult for him to be caught in the middle. She seemed to be her in-law Cui. He became greedy and ignorant.

*. *. *

A grand feast in the palace.

With the sound of joy and drink, the royal family, relatives, nobles, meritorious officials, civil servants and military officers gathered here.

Yan Lan was a little absent-minded and frequently looked in the direction of her younger brother Yan Yang and the eldest princess. Especially when she saw them holding hands and whispering affectionately, she became more and more worried.

"Shining, do you think the eldest princess is trying to persuade my brother to support the person named Xiao?"

"I don't know."

Cui Shining is already in his forties, but luckily he has a baby face and looks like he is thirty.He was wearing a gown made of sapphire blue brocade material with a white lining, showing the splendid elegance of a 700-year-old family.

Yan Lan glared at him angrily: "You are always like this, slow and not in a hurry."

Cui Shining picked up a piece of silver carp and patiently picked out the thorns one by one; "It's useless to be anxious."

Yan Lan sighed: "She forced us to send Shi Min to prison with her own hands. This move was too dark."

"This is the best strategy."

Cui Shining was not annoyed and ate the fish lukewarmly, "Shimin is a careless person. Keeping him will only lead to bad things. Don't forget why the Woyejiang water movement uprising started."

Yan Lan's heart skipped a beat.

There is a century-old feud between the Cui family and the Yang family. Yang Lin, the governor of water transportation, was unable to receive project funds for most of the year, which triggered a civil uprising. On the surface, it was the former Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, Lu Chang, who was behind it. But in fact, the manipulator behind it was Cui family.

Cui bribed Lu Chang and deliberately made things difficult for Governor Yang.The person who directly contacted Lu Chang was Cui Shimin, who served as the young minister of Honglu Temple in Yundu.

"Your brother has such a bad reputation in Yundu. He has brought trouble to us, led our children to bad behavior, and even got caught in the act."

"Therefore, the strategy that the eldest princess presented to you is the best solution. If I deal with him personally, the direction of public opinion outside will be immediately reversed, which will not only calm the anger of the civil and military officials of the dynasty, but also block future troubles once and for all. Help me advance in my career."

Cui Shining looked at Mu Tingxue with fear, "Lan'er, no matter what happens, you must never break up with her."

Yan Lan was full of grievances: "Why would I want to be an enemy of her? She also helped Tian Sheng, and I really want to have a good sister-in-law relationship with her. But she just doesn't protect her relatives and always turns her elbows outward."

This alone is far worse than the Queen Mother's aunt.

"Why don't you tell me? Mom loves you. She might be able to make my brother nod."

The couple looked at Mrs. Mingguo at the same time.

Cui Shining felt that this was a way, so he stood up and walked over: "Auntie, Shining gives you a drink."

When Cui Ming saw her nephew and son-in-law, her kind brows were filled with smiles: "Okay."

While pushing cups and changing cups, the two chatted very animatedly.

After half an hour.

Cui Shining had already coaxed Mrs. Mingguo into such a happy mood that the old lady seemed to be ten years younger. She naturally mentioned the transfer to Yundu: "I still need to rely on my aunt to say a few nice words to Shining in front of His Highness the Regent." .”

Cui Ming sighed, held his hand tightly, and said in a sad tone: "Shining, you are so ignorant."

Cui Shining was shocked. The old lady didn't support it?Are you saying he is ignorant?

"Why did aunt say this? Shining doesn't understand."

"Have you forgotten how Lan'er's father died?"

Cui Ming's eyes filled with mist, and he choked with sobs, "Have you forgotten how your father died?"

The two most important relatives in her life, her husband and brother, both passed away one after another during the years when the late emperor gathered his strength to deal with Yan Dang crazily.He was not even 40 when he left.

Cui Shining saw the old lady shed tears and quickly wiped them with his sleeves.

Cui Ming said sadly: "Although I am a housewife, I don't understand the politics of your previous dynasty. But I feel that only by staying in Youzhou, far away from the troubled and chaotic place of Yundu, can you live in peace for a long time. "

But Cui Shining couldn't listen: "Auntie, one moment and another moment, the world is ruled by Yan Dang, and the regent and the queen mother have the final say."

Cui Ming shed tears: "I often stay up all night worrying about Yang'er, and now you have to get involved."

The old lady lost her husband and brother.

She is very disturbed.

I was afraid that one day, the sky would suddenly collapse, and I would lose my son and nephew again.

"It is my brother's last wish for you to stay in Youzhou and inherit the ancestral legacy. Taking a closer look at the 700-year history of the Cui family, as long as the head of that generation keeps a low profile and is an outstanding local official, his life will probably go smoothly; anyone who interferes in the imperial power struggle with a high profile will not end well. Great."

Cui Shining felt that her aunt was too timid and that women were hesitant.

The overall situation of the imperial court has been decided, the regent dynasty is arbitrary and the emperor has succeeded; the queen of the puppet emperor has also established a daughter of the Yan family, it is already foolproof!

"Mom, why are you crying?"

The regent, who was with the eldest princess, turned around and saw his mother wiping her tears and rushed over immediately.

He was unhappy, his eyes were like frost swords, piercing Cui Shining, "What did you say to her?"

Cui Shining felt a cold air rush from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and immediately gave up: "I didn't say anything, it was just a family affair. I accidentally mentioned my father and uncle, and made my aunt sad. It's all Shining's fault."

He felt a little jealous of his cousin.

Yan Yang said: "Could it be that I'm using my family affection to hold my mother hostage to help you get promoted?"

Cui Shining was exposed on the spot, and he was a little embarrassed, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Seeing that something was wrong, Yan Lan hurriedly came over to start a fight and protected her husband: "Brother, don't be angry. It's all a misunderstanding. Everything will be well with the family."

Same sentence.

Coming from the eldest sister's mouth, Yan Yang couldn't help but get angry.

"That's enough! Do you have to make the whole family uneasy?"

"No, brother, please listen to sister's explanation..."

"From the Queen Mother's aunt to my mother, the important officials of the Yan Party were all given gifts by you and your wife, forcing the eldest princess to give up on her own initiative and send Xiao Wangzhi away overnight."

Yan Lan and Cui Shining were so punished that they hung their heads like chickens with a plague.

When they heard that the eldest princess had withdrawn on her own initiative, they were all extremely shocked!

Cui Shining was ecstatic, followed by deep uneasiness.

He got the position of Zhongshu Ling, but at the same time, the Cui family also aroused the disgust of the regent!
