I can sign in in Datang

Chapter 317 Secret
Cui Lingyun picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said, "What are your plans now?"

Cui Lingdao said indifferently: "Sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight, I have studied Lin Xuan carefully, and this person can be called revenge. He can definitely see that it was done by the Wang family. This person is a scourge after all. Let him be eliminated by the hands of the Wang family." It's not bad to drop."

Although he failed to test Li Shimin's bottom line, it was a good thing to get rid of Lin Xuan.

Cui Lingyun was not surprised at all, and asked: "Are you so confident that the Wang family can get rid of him? Don't forget, the Wang family just failed!"

"Others don't understand the background of the Wang family, so don't we? If Lin Xuan endures this, the Wang family may not attack him for the time being, but do you think it is possible?" Cui Lingdao said confidently.

Cui Lingyun was silent, he couldn't refute what Cui Lingdao said.

For their family that has been passed down for hundreds of years, Lin Xuan is very insignificant.

If it weren't for Li Shimin suppressing the family, the family had too many scruples, and it would be useless for Lin Xuan to stay in Chang'an.

Between Lin Xuan and the Wang family, no matter where you look at it, Lin Xuan has no winning percentage.

Cui Lingdao said with a smile: "It would be even better if Lin Xuan came up with some strange tricks in order to take revenge on the Wang family and deal a greater blow to the Wang family."

Cui Lingyun looked at him in surprise, and said: "The main thing now is to deal with the suppression of the Wang family, not the time to suppress the Wang family, so don't act recklessly."

The Wang family was the first family before, and the Cui family is the current first family.

The Wang family wanted to regain the title of the No. [-] family, and the Cui family certainly couldn't let it go.

Everyone in the aristocratic family knows about the dogfights between their two families.

But Li Shimin puts a lot of pressure on their family, so they can't get too stiff with the Wang family now.

"I know, but what does Lin Xuan's action have to do with us?" Cui Lingdao sighed and said, "If the Wang family can succeed, it's like slapping Li Shimin in the face. The other aristocratic families are aware of the threat. Let us unite, and when Datang launches troops on the grassland, it will be our chance. What a pity, what a pity!"

The aristocratic family can pass on for hundreds of thousands of years because they are stable.

A century-old dynasty, a thousand-year family!
It's all nonsense that the five surnames and seven Wangs are unwilling to fight for imperial power.

If this is the case, the royal family originally had five surnames and seven kings, so why would they want to fight for world hegemony?
To put it bluntly, the family is just seeking stability.

The world was in chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty. Those who fought for the world, except for the Li family, what about the others?

For the aristocratic family, keeping the family business is more important than anything else, no matter who wins the world, they need them to govern the world.

If the aristocratic family really disdained the royal family, they would not choose some people to support them secretly when the world was in chaos.

They supported the Li family to seize the world and gained a lot of benefits.

Later, they supported Li Jiancheng and wanted to obtain greater benefits. When Li Shimin promised greater benefits, they abandoned Li Jiancheng without hesitation.

When Li Shimin launched the Xuanwumen Change, there were only 800 people.

The aristocratic families at that time were not like they are now, and their power in Chang'an was still very strong.

If they intervene, it is impossible for Li Shimin to succeed.

After Li Shimin succeeded, he not only failed to give them benefits as agreed, but turned his head to suppress them.

By the time they reacted, Li Shimin had stabilized the situation.

At that time, the five surnames Qiwang even prepared to raise troops, but the other aristocratic families did not agree.

For them, stability is the most important thing. If it is not successful, the family may be destroyed, and no one is willing to take risks.

Of course, this is also because Li Shimin has a good grasp of the speed of suppressing the family.

Cui Lingdao cooperated with Lin Xuan, and it was certain that the Wang family would attack Lin Xuan.

Killing a Marquis in Chang'an is equivalent to slapping Li Shimin in the face, and Li Shimin couldn't bear it anymore.

As long as Li Shimin makes any moves, other aristocratic families will think that Li Shimin is going to attack the aristocratic family.

Whether the Wang family made a mistake first, they don't care at all.

They won't let Li Shimin start this, otherwise who knows if they are the next Wang family?
The Cui family was bewitching in the dark, to win over some allies, and when Datang used troops on the grassland, they would raise troops in the name of Li Tai. Who said the Cui family would not be the next Sima family?

What a thousand-year-old family, how can it be compared with the rich royal family in the world.

Cui Lingyun pondered for a while, and then said: "Family inheritance is the most important thing. When you do something, you should think more about it."

He knew what Cui Lingdao was up to.Although he disagrees, he must obey the arrangement of the Patriarch.

After speaking, Cui Lingyun got up and left.

When Cui Lingyun walked to the door, Cui Lingdao said: "Do you know why Dad made me the head of the house?"

Cui Lingyun trembled all over. It was rumored that he gave up the position of Patriarch.

In fact, it was the Patriarch of the previous generation who asked him to give up the position of Patriarch before he died, but did not tell him the reason.

If this news gets out, it will definitely cause an uproar.

The aristocratic family that pays most attention to the head of the line will actually make the decision to let the second son of the line inherit the head of the patriarch.

This is also the reason why the Cui family reported that Cui Lingyun voluntarily gave up the position of Patriarch.

All these years, Cui Lingyun has been unable to figure out why his father made such a decision.

But he has been reluctant to ask Cui Lingdao.

"why?"

Cui Lingyun's voice was very hoarse, and the three short words seemed to be squeezed out of his throat.

Cui Lingdao said: "Because your heart is too small!"

Cui Lingyun trembled a little, but finally walked out without saying anything.

Some staggering footsteps showed that Cui Lingyun's heart was not calm.

Cui Lingdao looked at Cui Lingyun's figure with an inexplicable expression.

Cui Guang, the previous head of the Cui family, took over the Cui family during the Sui Dynasty.

During the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, he chose to support Li Yuan.

Li Yuan was just a side branch of the Li family in Longxi. After taking over the world, he was even more noble than the Cui family of the first family at that time, which deeply hurt Cui Guang.

So what if the Cui family is the number one family in the world, they want to bow their heads in front of the royal family.

Cui Guang was very unwilling, and he also wanted the Cui family to become a royal family.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan did not suppress the aristocratic family. On the contrary, he treated the aristocratic family very preferentially. It is impossible for the Cui family alone to succeed.

He was old and frail at the time, so he could only pin this hope on the next Patriarch.

At that time, Cui Lingyun had been being trained as the next head of the family. Maintaining the stability of the family had already penetrated into the bone marrow, so he was not a good candidate.

On the contrary, Cui Lingdao was very ambitious and always wanted to be the Patriarch, so Cui Guang chose him.

In order to pave the way for Cui Lingdao, Cui Guang personally persuaded Cui Lingyun to give up the position of Patriarch.

In order to keep the family secret, Cui Guang did not tell Cui Lingyun the reason.

……

Taiyuan Wang Family
Wang Yuan once again called the main members of the family together.

"Second brother, tell them about it." Wang Yuan said.

With anger on his face, Wang Kuan said angrily: "The Cui family said they didn't make paper, so it doesn't count as a gun to my Wang family's voice, but for the covenant of the family, as long as the Wang family agrees, the Cui family will only sell in the south, and let us in the north." .”

"The Cui family is too deceitful!"

"The paper business belongs to our Wang family. They ignore the covenant, but they want to seize the south. It's impossible!"

"Since the Cui family is not benevolent, don't blame us for being unrighteous. Our Wang family can also do some of the Cui family's business!"

As soon as Wang Kuan's words fell, the hall exploded.

After Yongjia crossed to the south, most of the literati in the world went to the south.

Although many people have returned to their hometown after these years, there are many more literati in the south than in the north.

The South accounts for [-]% of the world's paper business.
