Datang: My apprentice is Princess Changle

Chapter 359 Rebel?

Chapter 359 Rebel?

Patriarch Cui pondered for a moment, and finally nodded.

"Son, just do as you say."

Since the assassination of King Youzhou failed, and they have no way out, they can only continue to bite the bullet and move forward!
As long as you keep going, there is always a way out.

It is not completely wrong for the head of the Cui family to think this way. After all, for the Cui family of Boling, even if they stretch their necks and wait for the emperor to deal with them, other people may live, but he, the head of the family, must will die!
He is a selfish person, if not because of selfishness, he would not have colluded with the Tibetans many years ago.

The first time there was collusion, it was to get the position of Patriarch smoothly.

His old father passed away late and gave birth to more than a dozen sons, several of whom were legitimate sons!
And although he is ranked as the boss, he is not the eldest son of the concubine, but the eldest son of the concubine!
But in this era, pay attention to one, either the first wife or the elder.

Both the second son and the third son were concubines, and the sons of the old patriarch were all born after the age of 40, and they were all young!
It's from the little wife.

Because these legitimate sons were not from the original wife, but from the stepmother, after he, the eldest son of the concubine, united with the family of the original wife, he lost to the enemy one after another.

And he, on the condition that he would marry the daughter of the original wife's family, promised the position of Boling Cui's future clan wife, in exchange for the support of the old patriarch's original wife's family.

But even so, they competed with each other for a while.

In fact, he has the upper hand here, but who would let the old Patriarch love his youngest son!

The youngest son of the old Patriarch is also the legitimate son, and the old Patriarch wants the youngest son to become the next Patriarch, and this little guy was less than seven years old at the time!

At that time, Patriarch Cui was already in his 40s!

Under such circumstances, Patriarch Cui colluded with the Tubo people and directly used the fact that the Tubo people hijacked the caravan, forcing the death of his stepmother and young son who went home to visit relatives.

But the old Patriarch who heard the bad news didn't come up in one breath, and died directly on the bed.

Because he was the one who did this, he also made some preparations in advance.

Therefore, after some bloody battles, he will become the new Patriarch of the Boling Cui Clan!This is why he colluded with the Tibetans many years ago.

Because since then, there has been an interest entanglement between them!

Not only did he hold the criminal evidence of those Tubo nobles, but the Tubo people also held his handle!
Later, they distrust each other, but they can only cooperate occasionally.

Therefore, the Cui family leader knew very well that even if the Boling Cui family surrendered to Li Shimin and King Youzhou immediately and submitted immediately, others would survive, but he would definitely not survive!
Therefore, he would rather bring the entire Cui family into the abyss and fight against the terrible imperial power together, than let the Cui family fall into the abyss alone!

Thinking of this, the Cui family leader showed a cold smile.

And the middle-aged man who thought his father was too indecisive just now couldn't help shivering at this moment.

His father's expression made him shudder.

It wasn't until he retreated from his father's room that the middle-aged man couldn't help but frowned.

Outermost, a confidant who came with him, saw the master walking over with a heavy heart, and hurriedly greeted him.

"Master, how was your conversation with me?"

The confidant knew what his master wanted to do, and he also agreed.

Even this confidant couldn't help thinking, if the Central Plains were in chaos, could the Boling Cui family follow the example of the former Li family and try for that position?
If he can succeed, the master may not be worse than that Li Shimin!This emperor, the Li family and his son deserve it, but the Cui family can't?
When they sent people to Chang'an, the capital city, to frame King Youzhou, what they said was actually what these aristocratic families had in mind.

Right now, they regard themselves as noble, and feel that they are born in this aristocratic family, which is very elegant and does not taint any copper stink.

But when the opportunity to ascend to the supreme position is in front of them, one of these aristocratic families counts as one, can they really ignore it?
Can they really ignore the temptation of imperial power?
No!Not many people can do this!
The Li family won the world, on the surface, everyone surrendered.In fact, many people were not convinced in their hearts, but the situation was stronger than others, and after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, it gradually stabilized.

Who would dare to rebel again when it was not in troubled times?

Even if they feel that they are no weaker than Li Shimin, there are so many people supporting Li Shimin. They are not sure that once they start an army, many people will support them!

When the time comes, I will revolt with my chess pieces, how do I know that other people will not use my home as a ladder for promotion?
This is also the reason why no one dares to rebel easily when the overall situation is stable except during times of war.

Fishing in muddy water is easy because the water is muddy.

When the water is clear, there are no fish.

The same is true for rebellion. Everyone else has rebelled. If you rebel, you will just adapt to the situation and will not be the first to take the lead.

But if everyone else resists, the first one to rebel is either stupid or too confident in himself.

Because of the first one, it is easy to become the target of group attacks.

Even if other people have the same thoughts, as long as the time is not ripe, many people still like to develop obscenely.

Why don't middle-aged people know this?

As he walked out, he said: "Father has agreed, but this matter still needs to be discussed carefully."

The confidant said: "This is natural, after all, it is a big event."

"Gather credible people in Xiaohua Hall tonight. When the time comes, discuss this matter with my father and son. Also, you call Zhong Da Zhong Er now, and I have something to tell them."

"Yes."

Zhong Da Zhong Er is another confidant of the middle-aged man, mainly in charge of soldiers.

Under his orders, that night, a group of people secretly discussed with Cui's Patriarch and his son.

A few days later, before dawn, a large group of dark people suddenly appeared outside the city of Youzhou County. Judging by the number of people, there were at least five to six thousand people!

These people were all riding horses, and they rushed to the gate of Youzhou County in a hurry.

Originally, someone wanted to sneak in and open the city gate to let them in, but the person Qin Yang specially sent to patrol discovered this by accident, and directly held down the person who wanted to open the city gate secretly.

The people who had fallen asleep at the city gate were also awakened.

When they heard that soldiers and horses were coming outside, they were a little unbelievable, so they hurriedly leaned over the city wall to look out.

I saw a group of people outside the moat, carrying a banner, in the posture of preparing to attack the city.

"What is written on their flag?" a soldier asked his companion.

As a result, the companion was also illiterate, and shook his head: "I don't know."

A small officer came over at this moment, looked down, his expression changed: "Rebel?"
