Chapter 619 Convocation (one more)
Cui Yao, the patriarch of the Qinghe Cui family, is the biological father of Mrs. Guogong.
Hurry up and write a letter from the capital, and you will be able to reach the Cui family in Qinghe in three days.
Cui Gong was also horrified when he received his daughter's letter. Unexpectedly, he dispatched two hundred secret guards to his grandson Zhou Gu, but in a short period of time, there were only a dozen people left, and Zhou Gu himself grew up. The big hidden guards were also injured or died, and there were not many left.
He knew that the old Huguogong of the Huguogongfu governed his family like he ran an army, and he emphasized justice. Although the eldest princess Sheng'an loved Zhou Gu, she could only be partial to many small things. For big things like the distribution of family property guards, she Still can't do too much, otherwise the daughters-in-law in the back house will be dissatisfied and cause restlessness in the house.
The Huguo Duke’s Mansion manages a family like an army. The benefits that are visible to the naked eye are that the children and grandchildren are harmonious and the family home is peaceful. Therefore, after Zhou Gu saw that he was talented and intelligent when he was a child, the old prince just happened to be an important person, so he went with the flow and sent him to the East Palace.
Gong Cui does not comment on how the Huguogong Mansion manages the family. Every family has its own way of survival. His Cui family runs the family, and those who are capable live in it. Those who are talented and capable will enjoy more family supplies and resources. Those who are not talented or capable will not be abandoned by the family, and they can barely live. But if there are more luxuries life, it can only be earned by ability, there is no such thing.
He was able to take the position of Patriarch of the Cui Clan in Qinghe, not only because of the convenience of occupying the status of the direct lineage, but also because of his ability to secure the position of Patriarch and convince everyone.
If you compare it carefully, the Cui family ran the family, like the Nangong family in Southern Chu, they used the power of the family to support those who are capable, and then those who are capable will drive the stability of the family to prosperity.
Regarding the little grandson's decision, he loves the princess of Nanchu, and decides to abandon the road paved for him by the old Huguogong and follow, and the princess Su Rong also likes him and has promised him the title of king's husband. He was different from the old Huguogong and Qin Taifu who felt sick when they first learned about it, but he felt quite good.
The Duke Huguo's mansion has been famous for several generations, and there is Zhou Wei, the eldest son. If there is another Zhou Gu who grew up in the East Palace since childhood, how will the future Zhou family go to the next level? No matter how tall the building is, how far can it go? His Majesty is not considered to be a wise and wise prince now. It seems that he is indeed a wise prince, but what about the future? Is it so easy to be an important official in the court with one person under one person and over ten thousand people? Even if he does not suffer from the fear of the future emperor and is valued by him, he must not be willful in this life.
As for Zhou Gu's temperament, if he was bound by some kind of restraint all his life, it would be too self-sufficient.
There is also the Cui family. The Cui family has multiplied for countless generations. After several dynasties, it is now going downhill. medium support. There are a few of the juniors who are outstanding, but the East Palace is full of talents, and when the cousin is old, the juniors may not grow up yet.
Originally there was Zhou Gu in the East Palace, so the Cui family didn't go up. In the future, the juniors would also be valued by Zhou Gu, but now that Zhou Gu abandoned the paved road, it made the Cui family feel a little difficult.
Husband of the princess, I heard that after the princess divorced him, she agreed to the marriage of Ye Guixue, the second son of Nanchu Yexiangfu, but later gave up and re-elected him. In front of the huge support of the Prime Minister's Mansion, what does it mean to abandon him instead of choosing him? The two are afraid that they are in love with each other, and their love is extraordinary.
After all, they are not children, and they have to be responsible for their own decisions. One is taught in the East Palace since childhood, and the other is taught by Xie Yuan since childhood. They should not be hot-headed, and they both know what they want?
If this is the case, does it mean that the Cui family can still use their grandson to take another path?
Therefore, Cui Gong immediately summoned all the prominent and respectable members of the Cui family to discuss matters in the meeting hall.
In the middle of the night, all the main people in the clan were called together, including a few teenagers who were studying and preparing for the scientific examination.
Everyone was puzzled. Did something happen in the clan at night? Until Cui Gong took the letter from Mrs. Guogong and circulated the contents of the letter to everyone. In everyone's panic, he proposed an idea, intending to send someone to take part of the Cui family's influence to seek refuge with Zhou Gu, He joined Southern Chu to seek a future, and asked everyone for their opinions. Everyone was shocked.
Someone immediately said: "Brother, this is not very good, right? Our Cui family was born in Daliang and grew up in Daliang. Southern Chu is thousands of miles away. Once the power is divided, our Cui family will definitely be weakened. The old and the new are about to change, once His Majesty abdicates and the crown prince ascends the throne, we may not be able to compete among the big families..."
"Now there is not much power to compete." Cui Gongdao: "The Cui family is going downhill. I have no power to turn the tide and save the Cui family from its heyday. The current crown prince doesn't use the family very much. You should all be able to see Come out."
"But Southern Chu is too far away, and we have never seen that princess before, so it would be too risky to bet on her." One person said.
Cui Gong looked at everyone, "But you have all seen Zhou Gu, who can make Zhou Gu give up the paved Qingyun Road and follow to Nanchu. Do you think that if she is an ordinary woman, she will make him like it so much that she doesn't care about anything? In addition, How did the present prince secure the position of prince, and there is such an iron-clad situation? How did the faction of the first prince and the second prince fall? How did the General’s Mansion in North Ji collapse? I haven't forgotten. The princess was taught by Xie Yuan since she was a child, and his talent and reputation back then were even higher than that of Qin Taifu in the East Palace."
"This... But judging from this letter, the situation in Nanchu is really not optimistic. Can the princess gain a firm foothold in Nanchu? If Nangong and Wei join hands, she loses Nanchu..."
"That's why we need to send people to help. The so-called sending charcoal in a timely manner is like icing on the cake." Cui Gongdao: "I have decided to go to his cousin Zhou Gu before letting go. Each of your prefectures decides whether to send people or not. go."
Everyone was shocked, "Xingzhi? Brother, you actually want to send Xingzhi? You, why did you make this decision? He is the next Cui family..."
"I agree." Cui Gong stopped him, "My grandson has given up on Qingyun Road. Why can't my grandson go to Nanchu?"
