Chapter 178: Haste leads to waste.
Especially after Cui Xiu told them the truth of the matter, they were too lazy to get along with the fifth prince, and simply did not go to the palace to see Cui Xiu in the future.
Although they did not enter the palace, they still had the opportunity to meet and get along with Cui Xiu in private, although they did not know why Cui Xiu could come and go freely.
But as long as I can meet Cui Xiu, it will be great.
Cui Xiu could always come out of the palace to meet them in various ways, and they had no problem with it, as long as they could meet and exchange information.
In fact, Cui Xiu followed Li Qun's path. Li Qun would arrange for Cui Xiu to spend time with his brothers and sisters before and after Cui Xiu went on business.
They have never stopped planning for so many years. There will always be 3 to 5 gatherings in a year. If there are too many times, the emperor will be suspicious.
So Cui Xiu separated the opportunities to work formally and the opportunities to work privately.
Determine the occasion of use to achieve the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort. Who wouldn’t want to achieve such an effect?
There are few newcomers in the palace, so the emperor’s attention will inevitably be on the old ones.
So Cui Xiuben thought that the harem was a little cold, and the emperor was afraid of concubines like them who were always in trouble.
Has long since disappeared from their sight. To them, these people are like a joke.
So it was suggested that the emperor hold a new draft and select a few of the beautiful ladies as new nobles, which would also distract their attention.
When the emperor heard this, his head was covered and his eyes were hot, thinking that there was such a good thing.
The emperor only had a solemn expression on the surface, but in fact his inner expression was difficult to understand.
How else can we say that he is the emperor and others are not emperors? The emperor is like this, he has qualities that others don't have, and he also has bad habits and bad habits that others don't have.
Many things complement each other.
After the emperor agreed to the draft, his attention was distracted by the new show girls.
During that period, Cui Xiu could have a lot of time to plan for the future of the sixth prince.
Cui Chu has always known one thing, that is, being courteous for nothing is either a traitor or a thief.
The fifth prince who took the initiative to look for him now must have some thoughts about them. Presumably, the fifth prince still doesn't know his true life experience. If he knew, he wouldn't come here licking his face.
Cui Chu was very angry in his heart, but he did not show it, and said calmly: "Your Highness, the Fifth Prince."
Cui Chu raised the wine glass in his hand as he spoke. He nodded lightly at the fifth prince, and then drank it all in one gulp.
Looking at the teenage boy in front of him, Cui Chu's eyes and words were relatively calm. He couldn't let others see anything strange.
At least until their plan is completed, he has to dress accordingly.
When the fifth prince saw Cui Chu not allowing him to say a few more words, the smile on his face was a little stiff, and he was more or less surprised and suspicious in his heart.
The fifth prince did not expect that Cui Chu would treat him like this. After all, he was the son of his mother's concubine and his second uncle's nephew.
Even if they had not met many times before, Cui Chu should not have reacted like this. It was a little too unfamiliar.
"Uncle is too polite."
"How can I let you drink it all in one gulp? It's a bit shameful for a junior to do this."
There was a faint smile on the face of the fifth prince, and he was indeed smiling. Although the current scene had a somewhat solemn and embarrassing atmosphere, the fifth prince did not delve into it.
Because he felt that his uncle treated him this way because they were not very familiar with each other yet. If they could communicate more, they would get acquainted sooner or later. After all, there is some blood relationship among them.
The fifth prince was very confident in brainwashing himself, but he did not know that he was very naive in the eyes of the other party. When Cui Chu saw the smile on the face of the fifth prince, he did his best to show his face. A slow smile appeared on his face.
“This is not unfamiliar.”
"His Majesty is hosting a banquet now, so the Emperor has left first, but the rules that should be followed are indispensable."
"You can't change the title just because you and I have some relationship."
"Since ancient times, a country is a country and a family. State affairs and family affairs do not interfere with each other and go hand in hand."
"Your Highness, the fifth prince, should think about it carefully."
Cui Chu fluently described himself He could say whatever he wanted to express, and what he meant was to remind the fifth prince not to lose his royal dignity.
Even if you are a close relative, don't be so anxious to get close to someone on such an occasion. This will only make others laugh.
If you want to deal with a good relationship, you usually do it in private when no one can see you. At that time, you are freer and can often close the distance quickly.
Cui Chu was not a cautious person originally, but the emperor was very wary of their family. Gradually, he also learned that set of rhetoric, and after practicing more, he could speak clearly and fluently.
The expression means that benevolence sees benevolence and the wise see wisdom.
If the fifth prince could understand, then he should immediately turn around and return to his own position instead of standing in front of Cui Chu and Guo.
By the way, when the fifth prince walked over, he had no intention of exchanging greetings with Guo.
Although it is said that the fifth prince's purpose this time is to capture his second uncle Cui Chu, his purpose cannot be too obvious.
And as Guo's elder, he should greet people politely in advance instead of waiting aside.
The elders may think that they are the elders and not restrain the younger ones, but once the children grow up, they will have no chance even if they want to restrain them.
There are indispensable rules, because it is often the details that determine success or failure.
"Second uncle, General Cui, I wonder if you still have free time after practice?"
"I have some important things that I want to clarify with General Cui."
The fifth prince said After saying these words, he turned around and walked back to his place without even thinking about it. His face didn't look very good on the way. He didn't expect such an ending.
Guo, who had been silent for a long time, whispered with Cui Chu beside him: "Too much is not enough, haste makes waste."
Guo immediately understood the matter. The core is the fifth prince's fatal weakness. He is only a teenager now, the former prince was only deposed a few years ago, and the story of the heir apparent between him and his brother is still early.
It won't be decided that soon.
But the fifth prince seemed to be unable to wait any longer. He was so focused on the position of crown prince that he was really obsessed with it.
I really don’t know what’s so good about being a prince. Everyone in the royal family is really losing their heads for this prince one by one.
"What the lady said is absolutely true, this child." When Cui Chu said this, he shook his head subconsciously to express his opinion.
Not really.
It's easy to fall into the quagmire if you're not careful.
If you want to go a long way, the most important thing is to cultivate your moral character.
