Datang Storyteller: Uncovering the Secret of Xuanwu Gate, Li Er was stunned

For Qin Yu, it was just drinking and eating, but for them, it was suffering.

Especially for things like eating, the feeling of watching others eat but not being able to eat it is very torturous.

The food in the cell can only make people full. As for delicious food, don't even think about it.

Not to mention chicken, duck and fish.

You can't even eat meat once in prison.

For those who have not been able to eat meat all year round, they miss the taste of meat itself, let alone someone who eats delicious and spicy food in front of them.

As for the jailers, they wiped the money bags that had become shriveled with distress.

Their one-month salary is not much at all. Since Qin Yu came, they have been attracted by delicious food every day, and their purses have become thinner day by day. If this continues, their family will drink the Northwest Wind.

Qin Yu's arrival was both good and bad for them.

The advantage is that there are free stories to listen to.

The downside is that the money saved by listening to free scripts is not as much as they can't stand the temptation to eat a meal.

But Qin Yu didn't realize it.

After arranging a pass.

Wu Qi quickly brought the food up.

Li Jing and Qin Yu were sitting face to face, chatting while drinking, trying to have a good time.

……

Cui Fu
After several persons in charge left the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, they went directly to Cui Ren's mansion.

At this time, they were both excited and conflicted.

"Brother, do you think we should consider Qin Yu's suggestion?" Li Mu asked.

Before Cui Ren could open his mouth, Wang Gui said angrily, "I don't think it's necessary at all. With the background of our aristocratic family, why can't we keep this little thing?"

"Indeed, there is no need to rush to share another piece of the pie with Li Shimin." The person in charge of the Lu family disagreed with this.

Then the person in charge of the Zheng family also expressed his opinion, "I think we should think about Qin Yu's words, after all, he must have agreed with His Majesty to say this, and at the same time, this is His Majesty's release for us to live in peace. Signal, the relationship between us and His Majesty really needs to be eased."

The others began to meditate.

Cui Ren thought for a while and said: "I agree with Brother Zheng's statement. There is a saying that the snipe and the clam fight each other for the fisherman's profit. If we fight with His Majesty, we will only benefit others. It is better to live in peace."

"As long as His Majesty doesn't do anything to us, we actually don't have to fight him to the death. After all, what we want is money and power."

The aristocratic family has a lot of background, but it doesn't look like it's in troubled times.

Only in times of peace can a family be managed properly.

Everyone has experienced troubled times. Even if they don't face the pain of the separation of their wives and children, the troubled times have a great impact on them.

Although when the world is chaotic, the aristocratic family will also be the object of courting and wooing those who are fighting for power, but once they follow the wrong person, the consequences are not something they can easily bear.

The reason why the aristocratic family stood on Li's side and supported Li Yuan and the others was after careful consideration.

When Li Yuan conquered the world, they helped a lot. Even so, when Li Shimin became the emperor, didn't he still feel that their family had too much influence on the court, and wanted to get rid of it quickly?

"Dude, do you really think so?"

The others looked at Cui Ren and asked.

Cui Ren nodded, "I really think so. For our family, it doesn't matter who is the emperor, the key is that it doesn't affect our survival."

Cui Ren didn't speak too bluntly.

The background of their family is here, whoever becomes the emperor will want to suppress or even get rid of them.

On the one hand, wealth can be obtained from them.

In addition, there are various minerals and grains.

On the other hand, what the royal family lacks is not only money and food, but also heritage.

To put it bluntly, it is books. The aristocratic family holds a lot of books. These books have been passed down from generation to generation, and the aristocratic family has cultivated many scholars.

A poor family gives birth to a noble son.

It is simply impossible in this day and age.

Moreover, there are students from aristocratic families, and there is no way for children from poor families to compare with them. This has also led to the fact that two-thirds of the officials in the court come from aristocratic families.

Plus the family operates from it.

A large part of the power in the court is in the hands of the aristocratic family.

This also aroused the fear of the monarch.

It's not a day or two since Li Shimin feared and loathed them. For their own interests, they had to confront each other.

If there is a chance to relieve, they are naturally willing.

Now that Li Shimin has been given the steps, if they don't go down, they will be a little ungrateful.

The others nodded.

"Indeed, instead of trying to support another emperor, it's better to get along with the existing one. What if the new emperor is not as good as the current one?"

As soon as Cui Ren reminded, the others also reacted.

"Then you mean to go down the steps?"

Wang Gui asked.

In fact, he was a little reluctant.

No one wants to hand over their interests to others.

Although they haven't done what Qin Yu suggested, the benefits can be imagined just by imagining it.

He was really reluctant to give it to Li Shimin for nothing.

"Brother Wang, don't be reluctant to let your child be tied to a wolf. We can't do too much in many things. If His Majesty is really angry with the family and wants to kill us, even if we can carry it through, it will be fine." It’s really not worthwhile for both sides to suffer.”
