Cui Xiang took Lu Binzhi to his house, immediately retreated, led him into the study, and said nervously: "Xilian, why did you come to Chang'an?"
Lu Binzhi sat down on the Hu bed with a big face, lifted his robe, lifted Erlang's legs, and said to him: "Why, Brother Chenglan thinks that this little brother of Chang'an City can't come?"
Cui Xiang said: "No, no, Xi Lian don't misunderstand the meaning of being a brother."
The three-year lockdown period of the Lu family has passed, and the children of the Lu family can naturally travel around the world.
It's just that Yang Fan of Chang'an City is in Chang'an, if the two of you meet, I'm afraid something will be wrong. ” In fact, at the beginning, Yang Fan coerced Mrs.
Lu in Chang'an and forced him to swear that Lu Binzhi would be under house arrest in Fanyang forever and that the children of the Lu family would be grounded for three years.
Of course, Cui Xiang is not good at saying these things in front of Lu Binzhi, so he can only be tactful.
Lu Binzhi's expression slowly became a little angry, he put down Erlang's legs, stood up, and lowered his head: "The ancestor has passed away." ” Cui Xiang was taken aback, then stood up, and said in a lost voice: "What old lady Lu has passed away, when is this happening, why haven't I heard any rumors?"
Lu Binzhi: "This is something that just happened last month, presumably Mrs.
Cui has just received the news there, and you naturally don't know about it in Chang'an." ” Cui Xiang sighed softly and said in a low voice: "Xilian, the festival is smooth." ” Lu Binzhi looked up to the sky and snorted, although he was laughing, there was no joy in his laughter: "Brother Chenglan, Binzhi has been expelled from the Lu family, and from now on, he will no longer be the descendant of the Fan Yang Lu family."
At this, two lines of clear tears rolled down, and his voice choked.
Cui Xiang was taken aback again, and said in amazement: "How can this be, what kind of mistake did the virtuous brother make, and he was expelled from the door wall" You must know that Lu Binzhi is the grandson of the Lu family, since his brother passed away, he is the first heir of the Lu family, and it is really unimaginable for the Lu family to expel the grandson of the eldest family and the first heir from the door, how much of a sin must be committed Lu Binzhi said lightly: "Bin Zhi didn't make any mistakes, and he was removed from the family tree because Bin Zhi asked for a revolution. ” Cui Xiang's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at Lu Binzhi in disbelief.
Lu Binzhi sat down slowly, raised his head slightly, and said in a mournful voice: "In the past few years, the ancestor has never shown a happy color, his old man has been thinking about his brother, and the younger brother has always remembered that his brother's revenge has not been avenged."
Lu Binzhi breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Cui Xiang and said: "Binzhi's father died when he was young, and his brother is also a brother and a father to Binzhi."
I think that the biggest regret of my ancestor when he was dying was that his brother's great revenge could not be avenged, and Binzhi should fulfill his old man's last wish. ” Cui Xiang didn't know what to say, if his brother had the same situation as Lu Binmi, he, as a brother, would also want to avenge him, but if he had to pay the price of being the head of the family, could he do it Cui Xiang was suddenly a little ashamed.
Lu Bin's way: "After the death of the ancestor, Binzhi, as the grandson of the family, should have taken over the position of the lord of the Lu family.
However, the brother died tragically, and the ancestor died of depression, how could Bin Zhi calmly take over the throne and be the head of the family with peace of mind, so Bin Zhi asked for expulsion and the genealogy was removed, so that it would not be considered a violation of the poisonous oath made by the ancestor. ” Lu Binzhi's words were light and light, without showing the slightest resentment, but Cui Xiang knew that his hatred was clearly deep in the bone marrow, so he said it so calmly.
Feeling Lu Binzhi's obsession, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
In a large family, the position of the head of a clan is the same as the position of the king of a country, and it is the highest goal that countless children of the family have aspired to from the moment they are sensible.
However, the position was predestined in most cases, and its struggle was never as bloody and brutal as the battle for the throne.
As a special existence, the family has all kinds of advantages for survival and continuity.
Externally, this advantage is mainly reflected in the process of the demise and rise of one dynasty after another, although the city head changes the banner of the king, but it rarely has a fatal impact on the family.
The rulers of the new dynasty will certainly use the most cruel and cold-blooded means to eliminate the rulers of the old dynasty and all those who have the right to rule, but they will adopt the method of co-opting and co-opting those who are entrenched in the local area and do not pose a threat to their dominance.
And within the family, it is difficult for each house and branch to compete for the throne as fiercely as the princes, because the family is not the highest ruler in the world, there is also the court above them, and there are other major families around them, and the high royal law and the intertwined checks and balances ensure that the competition within the family must be peaceful.
Therefore, the family is rarely affected by the rise and fall of the country, and there is rarely a bloody struggle for the throne, which ensures that its vitality is far longer than those imperial dynasties that you sing and I appear, and its inheritance process is relatively peaceful, no matter how coveted it is, it is rare for a family brother to dare to challenge a position that does not belong to him.
Therefore, although the Lu family has few people, as long as Lu Binzhi is unwilling to give up, no one can snatch the position of the lord from him, the first heir, at most, they rely on their own house to have a lot of people, and they are powerful, and they are just competing for a greater right to speak in the family.
This is a bit like the Japanese system of government, even if the power is in the hands of the shogun, the throne still belongs to the emperor of the eternal lineage, and it is difficult to shake it.
Therefore, Cui Xiang believes that Lu Binzhi was by no means ousted from the throne of the head of the family, he took the initiative to give up, so will Lu Binzhi give up the position of the head of the valve without mentioning conditions The Lu family is too huge, and there is not only one room among them that has the strength to take over the position of lord, and who is ultimately chosen depends on Lu Binzhi to specify, then there will definitely be an exchange condition between them, and Lu Binzhi's exchange can only be the power that will help him take revenge.
Cui Xiang believes that this power will definitely not be small, and with such a huge force, and being cut out of the clan and having a lot less constraints, how much can Lu Binzhi do with this power, it makes people shudder to think about it.
Cui Xiang coughed and persuaded: "Xilian, you and I have a very personal relationship.
It's rare that you still remember to be a brother, as soon as you arrive in Chang'an, you will come to see me, and I have to persuade you a few words here, so that brother could deal with Yang Fan at the beginning, but now he can't, because today's Yang Fan is no longer the original Yang Fan.
Yang Fan is now firmly in control of Xianzong, and Shen Mu is also in cahoots with him, no matter whether you win or lose, the result will inevitably be a lose-lose situation.
Everything that Mrs.
Cui and Brother Ling did was for the benefit of the Lu family, and what you have to do will make the Lu family very angry. ” The corners of Lu Binzhi's mouth curled, and he smiled a little evilly: "Brother Chenglan, I won't act rashly, I have been thinking about it repeatedly for all the years I have been confined to my family, why I will lose, why my brother will lose, why my ancestor has no way to take Yang Fan."
I sat under the eaves, watching the flowers bloom and fall, listening to the rain coming and raining, looking at the autumn and winter snow, thinking like this for a few years, I finally figured it out, because Yang Fan knew how to take advantage of the situation, although he was very weak at the time, but he knew how to borrow the power of the Guan Long family, the power of the ambitious people in the center of the heir hall, and the power of the emperor of the emperor, its momentum is like the sky, but my Lu family has been going against the sky, how can it be undefeated" Lu Binzhi looked directly at Cui Xiang, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Chenglan, I can't hide it, I came today not to talk to you about the old people's feelings, but to borrow the power of your Cui family." ” Cui Xiang frowned, and said to Lu Bin: "Xilian, the Cui family has an ancestor in charge, even if the ancestor is not there one day, and the father is in charge, such a big matter, no matter what, it will not be Cui's turn to make his own decisions." ” Lu Binzhi smiled and said: "After Yang Fan took charge of Xianzong, what did he do first, he eradicated the foundation laid by his brother for many years from Xianzong; second, he united with Shen Mu to make a bureau and pit all the seven sects and five surnames; Yang Fan is even more eye-to-eye with the Guan Long family, the ambition of the wolf, and the plotter Now that the emperor has moved the capital to Chang'an, in this way, it is inevitable to borrow the Guan Long family, and the Guan Long family has contributed a lot in the Shenlong coup, and will also use this to expand its power, the world is so big, and the benefits that can be enjoyed are so many.
When the time comes, Brother Cui will dare to say that your Cui family is still the first family in the world, and now it may still be, but three or five years later, you will sail against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat, Brother Cui wants to lose the leadership of the seven sects and five surnames when Ling Zun hands over the Cui family to you What the younger brother discussed with his brother today is just echoing each other from afar, and there is no need for Brother Chenglan to go into battle shirtless for the younger brother, this is a good and harmless thing for the Cui family, and the elder brother doesn't want to hear what the younger brother plans to do."
Cui Xiang's heart was pounding, the DPRK and China are not peaceful now, there is no need to mention this party and that party, and now he knows that just like the heroes of the day, the party is not so solid.
Let's talk about those Guanlong families whose foundation is in Chang'an, the two leaders of the Guanlong family, one is Du's and the other is Wei's.
The Du family is now very close to the meritorious party, and the Wei family heard that he has become related to the queen mother, and some of the other major families in Guanzhong have followed them, and some have taken refuge in the Taiping Party and the Liang Wang Party.
In the court, the various factions are ready to move, and locally, the major families are also seizing the opportunity.
Shandong family because of the loss of geographical advantages, indirectly lost the time and people, has been behind everyone, how can not at this time not to catch up, thinking of quickly intervening in to get a piece of the pie Cui The old lady has already sent a letter urging Cui Xiang, asking him to observe the various factions in the DPRK and China, and choose the strong one to vote for.
It is precisely for this reason that Cui Xiang decided to join the Meritorious Party, but today Jinghui sent him to King Liang to go undercover like a basin of cold water, Cui Xiang suddenly found that the status of the Meritorious Party was actually not stable, and for a while he didn't know where to go.
Now that Lu Binzhi has come to Chang'an, and said such a thing to himself, what is his plan If it is really a matter of cooperation and mutual benefit, then what is the harm of cooperating with him Thinking of this, Cui Xiang's eyes suddenly became keen, staring at Lu Binzhi, and asked in a deep voice: "What are the plans of Brother Xi Lianxian?"
