Chapter 38 Transferring Power
After Cui Xiu listened to her father's words, she subconsciously opened her eyes, smiled and accepted the jade pendant, raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes, raised her eyes to Cui Zhenghai, and said: " The imperial doctor said that the mood fluctuates easily before and after pregnancy."
"It must be that the daughter was so excited when she saw her father and her second brother."
Cui Xiu knew in her heart that she was in tears. The current situation is indeed not optimistic. The way she looked when she was in the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests just now, anyone who cares about her can tell that she is not doing well.
Although she behaved gracefully and generously, her face was not good-looking. She wanted to use a bitter trick to exchange for the emperor's laxity, and now she has mostly completed it.
The emperor didn't care about her. Although there was guilt on his face, he was pretending to take care of the overall situation. But her father and second brother were different. They were her closest relatives and they would feel sorry for her.
Cui Chu heard Cui Zhenghai's words and Cui Xiu's answer, and he said: "Chunfeng, take the child to rest."
Chunfeng guarding the door After hearing what Cui Chu said, she hurried in, saluted Cui Chu and Cui Zhenghai and said, "General, second brother." Cui Zhenghai nodded and Cui Chu handed the child to Chunfeng, who took the child back. Rest over there.
The child is still young and has just been born. Their words should not disturb the child's rest.
Cui Chu could tell that Cui Xiu was hiding something in his heart, but just as he was about to ask, Cui Xiu took the initiative to speak out.
"He'er does have something to talk to his father and second brother."
"I have asked Qiu Feng to prepare a wing for father and second brother. Let's go over there and talk."
Cui Zhenghai He and Cui Chu looked at Cui Xiu with a calculating look. The two looked at each other and followed Cui Xiu to the side room without saying anything.
Arrived at the wing, Qiu Feng stood outside the wing, waiting for Cui Xiu to bring someone. Qiu Feng saluted and said: "Mother."
"General, second brother."
After Qiu Feng finished speaking, he pushed open the door of the wing room and the three of them went in. Qiu Feng also went in afterwards and opened the door with him.
"He'er, tell me, my father and I are listening." After Cui Chu entered, he found a place to sit down.
Cui Zhenghai saw Cui Chu's idle look and glanced at Cui Chu. Although he couldn't stand it, now was not the time to criticize Cui Chu.
Cui Zhenghai knew that although his daughter had a childish temper, she was also meticulous in doing things.
The reason Cui Xiu brought them to the wing was because he had something important to tell them.
"I have a few things to say."
"First of all, Your Majesty and I have no relationship as husband and wife for a long time. My father and brother should still have a backup plan."
"Lest Your Majesty. I have murderous intentions."
The expressions of Cui Zhenghai and Cui Chu changed drastically when they heard this. They did not expect Cui Xiu to say these words so directly.
Although they already know some things well in their hearts, they have never said these things openly. In addition, after all, Cui Xiu married into the royal family, even if His Majesty still cares about Cui Xiu. For sleeves' sake.
You shouldn't have murderous intentions towards the Cui family.
But now Cui Xiudu said that she and the emperor no longer have a relationship as husband and wife, which is to tell them not to have hope in the emperor, because the greater the hope, the greater the despair.
"Don't worry, we have the Xiulin Army in our hands, so it will be fine." Cui Chu listened to Cui Xiu's words, and he calmed down and responded to Cui Xiu.
When Cui Xiu heard Cui Chu's words, she shook her head subconsciously, and then said: "This is the second one."
"He'er hopes that his father and second brother will hand over the tiger talisman. , hand over the Xiulin Army.”
As soon as Cui Xiu said these words, the expressions of Cui Zhenghai and Cui Chu changed again. This Xiulin Army was trained by their Cui family for generations. How could they just hand it over if it was left by their ancestors?
Cui Xiu's eyes glanced at her father and brother. She knew that her father and second brother must have doubts at this time, why they handed over Xiulin's army after returning in triumph.
But Cui Xiu's guess did not come true. When she was about to explain to the father and son, Cui Zhenghai agreed: "Okay, I will hand over the tiger talisman to the court tomorrow."
"The Xiulin Army will be handed over as soon as possible later."
Cui Xiu heard Cui Zhenghai's answer without any hesitation. She looked at her father and said: "Father doesn't ask me What are you asking?" Cui Xiu didn't expect that her father would respond to her words so quickly, even though she didn't say anything or explain why.
"These troubled times require generals. Now that the conflict has been settled, there will be no more wars in the past ten years."
"Father knows that you are worried that His Majesty will attack our Cui family."
"Your Majesty will be happy to hand over military power at this moment, and will temporarily turn his attention to other families."
Cui Zhenghai's words are exactly what Cui Xiu wants to say, Cui Xiu listens As her father said what she wanted to say, she knew that there was some telepathy between them.
"My daughter knows that the Xiulin Army is the result of many years of management by our Cui family."
"It has been in the hands of our Cui family for so many years and has never been handed over to outsiders."
" Now it is too much to suddenly ask his father to hand over the inheritance that his ancestors have managed for many years."
Cui Chu glanced at his father, and after listening to Cui Xiu's words, he said: "Little sister. , since you know.”
“Why do you still need us to hand it over?”
"Even if His Majesty is afraid of our Cui family, if we have not committed a heinous crime."
"How can you send us to prison and be punished?"
Cui Xiu listened to Cui Chu's words. , then a smile appeared on her face, and she looked at Cui Chu. Now she was indeed innocent, but if she held the military power in her hands again and again, she would not hand it over.
Then Your Majesty is anxious. What crime cannot be pinned on the Cui family?
As my father said, military generals are needed in troubled times. In this peaceful and prosperous age, military generals are the ones who stand out. How can there be any good ending in the end?
If you can't assess the situation in time, you won't get a good start and a good end.
“Second brother, you still don’t understand our Majesty.”
“Now that I have given birth to a prince, and our Cui family has military power, we can cultivate our own party members. "
"I don't need to say more about what happens next. "
Cui Xiu didn't reveal it completely, but what happened next was nothing more than killing the current prince and then assisting her child to become the prince. If you can't wait any longer, you can force the emperor to abdicate.
How could their suspicious-minded Majesty not think of these things?
The emperor can not only think, but also think more and deeper than them, so when he strikes, he will naturally be more decisive and ruthless than they think.
If they hand over their military power, in the eyes of the emperor, they will be regarded as military commanders without real power. If they find an opportunity to appoint a civilian official later, the Xiulin Army of the Cui family will become history.
This is the ending that the emperor wants to see, to sit down on his throne safely.
When Cui Chu heard Cui Xiu's words, he frowned and said, "He'er's consideration is indeed reasonable."
Since Cui Chu can follow Cui Zhenghai and lead troops to fight, it shows that he is not a fool, and he also has his own thinking.
The emperor is afraid of them. If they send Xiulin's army out, what will they do to resist in the future.
At this moment, a shadow suddenly floated outside, and Cui Xiu's eyes caught it. She didn't say any more, and concluded hastily:
"Father, second brother, please pass." The emperor will allow me to go home for a while."
"I will tell you the rest when I get home."
