Chapter 339: No descendant is the greatest

"Empress Dowager, Zhuque Street is so crowded that it is full of people. The shouts are so loud that the old slave can't squeeze in at all. It's still a few kids who are flexible and go to the front...."

In the Ming Palace, the eunuch Feng Endao was telling Cui Xiaofu what happened at noon. Feng Endao almost started serving Cui Xiaofu when he entered the palace. Decades passed in a flash, and he was always loyal, but as Cui Xiaofu's desire for power expanded again and again, Feng Endao began to lose track of the rhythm.

For example, now, Feng Endao knew that Cui Xiaofu's face was extremely gloomy, but he still praised the people's support for Zhang Huan without hesitation. He even exaggerated the number of people and the atmosphere on the scene.

This is an old eunuch who really cares about Cui Xiaofu. He hopes that his master can give up his fanaticism about power and live a pampered life peacefully. For this reason, he offended Cui Xiaofu again and again, and persuaded her to turn back with great pains. However, his stubbornness gradually became a stumbling block that hindered Cui Xiaofu's progress on the road of power. There are such people in all dynasties. They are loyal and can even die for their masters, but their care and concern for their masters' lives seem so inappropriate, hindering their master's ambitions, so many times their endings are often unfortunate.

Feng Endao is like this. The repeated dissuasion left him with only loyalty in Cui Xiaofu's eyes. At this moment, he ignored Cui Xiaofu's about to explode and knelt down and persuaded her again: "Empress Dowager, Zhang Huan's people's hope is at its peak now. The empress dowager should first recognize his achievements in accordance with the public's opinion. This can also show the supreme authority of the empress dowager. When the people cheer for the Tang Dynasty, they will also experience it..."

"Enough!" Cui Xiaofu, who had been suppressed for a day, finally burst out. She was so angry that she trembled all over. She pointed at Feng Endao and cursed: "Can the Ai family let you teach a lesson? Zhang Huan is who you are. You protect him again and again and again, and sweep my fun again and again, okay! Well! I understand now. It turns out that you are all looking forward to changing a new master, just looking forward to my death, and you can be loyal to the new master, right?"

"The Queen Mother knows that the old slave is not."

"I don't know! You keep saying that you are loyal to me, but in fact? Your actions are helping my enemies. I never want to see you again. Get out of here! Get out now!"

Cui Xiaofu was so angry that she was about to lose her mind. She vented all her depression and dissatisfaction these days on this elderly eunuch. Feng Endao lowered his head and said nothing. He thought that when the empress dowager's anger slowly faded, she would serve her well.

But what was waiting for in the end was Cui Xiaofu's cold decree. "The order of the Ai family was passed on, and Feng Endao was not strict, which led to the frequent occurrence of eunuchs stealing property in the Daming Palace. He was especially removed from his position as an eunuch and was transferred to the Neifang Bureau Order and moved to the East Palace today."

Feng Endao was shocked. The Inner Court was mainly in charge of the internal affairs of the Eastern Palace, but now there is no prince in the Tang Dynasty, but it is just a free position. This is actually Cui Xiaofu doesn't want to see him again.

He slowly raised his head and looked sadly at the master whom he had served for nearly thirty years. After a long time, he sighed, his old body slowly stood up, and walked out step by step.

Cui Xiaofu's heart was like a hard rock. She looked at this incompetent and bad old slave without any pity, and then issued a cold decree: "From now on, I will be promoted to the envoy Lu Taiyi as the eunuch."

But Feng Endao seemed to hear nothing and walked away slowly. At this moment, he was already sad than death.

Lu Taiyi, who had been listening to the movements in the room with his ears erect inside the room, heard the last sentence, and his heart was so happy that he was about to explode. He ran into the room, knelt down and bowed respectfully to Cui Xiaofu, "I thanked the Queen Mother Long's Eternity!"

"Forget it, get up!" Cui Xiaofu glanced at the smart and capable eunuch. It was not her whim to promote this person. She had been observing Lu Taiyi. He was from the Luo Palace, but he had repeatedly asked him for private search, but he refused him harshly, especially since he could poison the emperor without hesitation. From this point, he could see his loyalty to him.

Loyalty and shrewd and capable are the close confidant Cui Xiaofu needs, while Feng Endao is old and stupid, and is no longer useful.

"The Ai family promoted you to share the worries of the Ai family, not like Feng Endao, who is inseparable from the enemy and me. You must remember that if you dare to betray the Ai family, the Ai family will let you die without a place to bury you."

Lu Taiyi kowtowed twice again, and he raised his chest and said passionately: "Please rest assured by the Queen Mother, I, Lu Taiyi, are willing to go through fire and water for the Queen Mother, and I will do whatever I want!"

Cui Xiaofu smiled and nodded, "Okay, the Ai family will trust you first. You can go to Wei's mansion and invite Wei Yan to Linde Hall. Then you say that the Ai family has important matters to discuss with him."

As time goes by, the seven major families that dominated the political arena of the Tang Dynasty have gradually become yesterday's yellow flowers.

In addition to the only branch of the Pei family, the Chu family was also trapped in a territory. The other five families of Cui, Wei, Zhang, Wang and Yang have all disappeared. However, the Wei family has improved due to the rise of Wei Deqing and has become popular this year. Not only did Wei Yan be appointed as the Minister of Shangshu and squeeze into the cabinet, but his second brother Wei Zheng and his clan brother Wei Ping were also promoted to the Minister of Guanglu Temple and the Yin of Luoyang respectively. The eldest son Wei Qing was appointed as the governor of Chenliu, and the second son Wei Jiang was appointed as the county magistrate of Fengtian County. From Menyin to the county magistrate of Jingzhao Prefecture, which was extremely rare in the Tang Dynasty. Although the censor impeached, it was still approved by the Ministry of Personnel as a special case. It can be seen that the Wei family has begun to show signs of a salted fish turning over.

Wei Ye knew that all this was because Wei Deqing had soldiers. Both Pei Jun and Cui Xiaofu wanted him to become the third force against Zhang Huan. And everyone knew that his deep hatred with Zhang Huan could not be resolved unless Zhang Huan was willing to return Longyou to their Wei family.

But at this moment, Wei Yan was full of anger and scolded his eldest son Wei Qing for returning to Beijing without authorization in the study. "The war in the Central Plains is about to break out. Who in the world knows it, even the birds in the sky know, and the dogs and cats on the ground know, don't you know? Do you really don't understand the intention of my sending you to be the governor of Chen Liu?"

Wei Qing knelt straight on the ground, his face flushed, but he still argued in a low voice: "But the Ministry of Personnel ordered me to come back to report my duties, and the letter was signed by Pei Xiangguo. If I don't come back in the first year, others would say that I was arrogant and favored and would have the reputation of the Wei family...."

"Famous reputation is nothing!" Wei Yan cursed in a frustration: "Zhang Huan occupied my Longyou back then. Did he take into account his reputation? But now his reputation is higher than anyone else. Who remembers the past? I tell you every day that strength and strength are the most important, but you just can't remember it. If it weren't for Wei Deqing's army, it would be your turn to be the governor of Chenliu? If it weren't for Wei Deqing's army, your sister would have to serve that old man. We have so many shames from our Wei family, you don't want to hate it, but you have to consider that bullshit reputation. You! You! If you have Zhang Huan's courage, why would my Wei family fall to this point?"

Wei Qing knelt on the ground and said nothing. He hated his father very much, "You are foolish and kicked out of Longyou, but now you are putting the blame on me. I am not as good as Zhang Huan in everything, but what about you? Can you compare with you?"

Although he was dissatisfied, he did not dare to show it at all. He had to admit his mistake to his father: "The child knew he was wrong. Seeing that the war was still unbearable, he wanted to come back early and go back early, but the child was careless."

Wei Yan stared at his son and took a breath into his stomach for a long time. After all, this is his eldest son. Although he is far inferior to Zhang Huan, he became a governor at the age of 30. This is rare among his peers. He waved his hand and ordered him to sit up. He sat down opposite him. He thought for a while and said, "Actually, you are back. There is something I want to ask you. You have been married for several years, but you have no children so far. For this reason, I took a concubine for you at the beginning of the year, but there is still no movement. Is this your problem or Cui Qi's reason?"

Cui Qi is Cui Yu's eldest daughter. As Cui and Wei Lianlian married Wei a few years ago, but now the Cui family has fallen, Wei Yan has an idea. Wei Qing is an extremely smart person. He suddenly realized what his father meant and wanted to use the excuse of no descendants to terminate the marriage with the Cui family.

Wei Qing had no feelings for her wife, and he even had sex with her husband by chance. He tried it casually. Over the years, he still missed Pei Ying. Moreover, he lived in a pile of makeup and seemed to have little interest in women when he grew up. He handled official duties in the office every day, and then went to the restaurant with his colleagues to drink. He returned home very late every day, and often fell asleep. The next day, he rushed to the office before dawn. He was really as thin as paper for his nominal wife.

But he also knew that if he divorced Cui Qi, he might affect his reputation, and Pei Ying would not be able to come back to him again, so he made do with this marriage, just like drinking white water, but now his father wants to cancel the marriage, the pressure on his conscience seemed to be a little less. After hesitating, Wei Qing still responded to his father's intention: "Those two concubines are stupid and stupid. I didn't touch them at all. I think it shouldn't be my problem."

"That's right!" Wei Yan clapped his hands and said, "I thought Cui Qi was too weak at the beginning, not Wang Zixiang. Now it seems that it is her reason. It is related to the cigarettes of my descendants of the Wei family. This matter is decided. I went to Cui Yu Mansion a few years ago to terminate this marriage."

Wei Qing thought that Cui Qi had been with her for so many years and was spending time outside, and she had never complained and felt a little sad about her conscience, so she said to her father: "I'm worried that I'll offend the Cui family because of this?"
