Chapter 512 The Secret of the Family

"Then there is Miss Laolu." Lin Xuan said lightly.

He wanted to see what the Lu family was planning.

"Master Hou, madam, please." Lu Yuxuan said.

Guo Caiyue quickly said: "You misunderstood, I am not a wife."

"Sorry, I made a slip of the tongue." Lu Yuxuan laughed.

Lu Yuxuan led Lin Xuan and Guo Caiyue to the second floor. After they were seated, they ordered someone to bring tea.

"I wonder if Master Hou can take a step to speak." Lu Yuxuan said.

Lin Xuan pondered for a while, and said to Guo Caiyue: "You sit here for a while, and I will come when I go."

Guo Caiyue nodded.

"Master Hou, please." Lu Yuxuan said.

Lin Xuan followed Lu Yuxuan to the next room, and after sitting down, Lin Xuan said calmly, "I don't know what Miss Lu wants to tell me."

"Master Hou, there is no permanent enemy in the world, and the Lu family is willing to form an alliance with Lord Hou," Lu Yuxuan said.

Ally?

Lin Xuan couldn't figure out the intention of the Lu family for a while, and said with a smile: "Isn't the big family always looking down on poor families? What's more, I am a son of a merchant. In your eyes, I am afraid that I am just a vulgar person? The Lu family actually wants to get along with you." I ally?"

"Master Hou was joking. For our family, inheritance is the most important thing. Now that the royal family is powerful and the Lu family is unable to resist, it is natural that we need a way out." Lu Yuxuan laughed.

"Retreat?" Lin Xuan sneered and said, "Do you mean me by retreat? Why didn't I know that I had such a great ability."

"Although Lord Hou doesn't have one, but Lord Hou's family is prosperous, so he can form an alliance with my Lu family." Lu Yuxuan said.

Lin Xuan sneered and said, "Tell me, what is the purpose of your Lu family? I'm not a fool. If you want to turn to His Majesty, wouldn't it be better to go directly to His Majesty? Why come to me? What's more, I still send a woman like you here .”

Nuo is a big Lu family, how could he send a woman to do such a thing about the survival of the family? He really regards him as a fool.

"Master Hou should know that the five surnames and seven Wangs seem to be in the same spirit, but they are actually fighting each other. I don't know how many other families have eyeliners inside and outside the Lu family, and inside and outside the palace. , the Lu family will be wiped out." Lu Yuxuan said.

Lin Xuan naturally knew what Lu Yuxuan said, but he didn't believe that the Lu family would surrender.

There is no such thing in history.

"It's not convenient for our Lu family to contact His Majesty in private, nor can we contact Lord Hou in private. Because there are a lot of caravans in Guangzhou, they can receive a lot of foreign jewelry and jade. The Yuxuan Pavilion in Guangzhou is very important. I basically visit every year Come to inspect. When I knew that Master Hou was coming to Lingnan, I came to Lingnan years ago, so as not to arouse the suspicion of others." Lu Yuxuan explained.

Lin Xuan frowned slightly, everything seemed reasonable, but it was the biggest unreasonable thing for the family to surrender to Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty's attitude towards the aristocratic family, the aristocratic family should understand, I can't figure out why the Lu family would do this." Lin Xuan said.

"The aristocratic family is full of unparalleled people. It is normal for people to want to maintain their status, right? However, at this time and at that time, being a hero by knowing the times has always been the way of survival of the aristocratic family." Lu Yuxuan said calmly. Said.

"Appreciate further details."

"The aristocratic family's poems and books are heirs, and the paper and printing technology produced by Lord Hou have already threatened the existence of the aristocratic family. Of course, based on this alone, it is impossible for the Lu family to have the idea of ​​seeking refuge with His Majesty. After all, no one is willing to let go of their rights. "Lu Yuxuan said.

"Since you don't want to let go, why do you want to give up all of a sudden?" Lin Xuan wondered.

"Right and inheritance, for the aristocratic family, the most important thing is inheritance. Originally, the five surnames planned to support Wei Wang together. As long as Wei Wang can ascend to the throne, the siege of the aristocratic family will naturally be resolved."

"However, the Cui family wanted to replace them. The five surnames have been passed down for thousands of years. How many times have they encountered great chaos in the world, and no one has ever participated in the struggle for hegemony. Does Marquis know why?" Lu Yuxuan said.

"I also have doubts about this." Lin Xuan nodded.

Historically, when the world was in chaos, the five surnames would disperse their investment in various princes, but no one participated in the struggle for hegemony.

If it is because of the family inheritance that they are unwilling to fight for hegemony, doesn't every Patriarch not have that thought?

"The ancestors of the five surnames have their ancestors' precepts, and they are not allowed to participate in the world's competition. Those who violate it will be expelled from the family." Lu Yuxuan said.

"It's impossible." Lin Xuan shook his head.

Among other things, the Li family in the Tang Dynasty came from the Li family in Longxi. Although it is only a side house, it is also a member of the Li family.

Lu Yuxuan knew what Lin Xuan was referring to, and said, "Don't you be surprised, Lord Hou? When the Supreme Emperor raised his troops, why did the Li family only have the Li family of the Supreme Emperor to help the Supreme Emperor? And after the Supreme Emperor won the world, why didn't he use the Li family in Longxi? people?"

"Because when the Supreme Emperor raised his troops, their branch was expelled from the Li family. After the Supreme Emperor took over the world, the Li family in Longxi begged the Supreme Emperor to return to the Li family. Although the Supreme Emperor agreed to return to the Li family tree, he felt depressed. With a sigh of relief, there is no preferential treatment for the Li family in Longxi."

No wonder the people of the Li family not only did not help the royal family, but instead fought against the royal family together with several other families.

"What did you mean just now that the Cui family is going to rebel? Didn't you say that the five surnames have their ancestors' precept that they are not allowed to fight for the world?" Lin Xuan asked strangely.

"The Cui family didn't explicitly say they wanted to rebel, this is what our Patriarch of the Lu family has seen from the behavior of the Patriarch of the Cui family." Lu Yuxuan said.

"Oh?" Lin Xuan asked, "I don't know what the Cui family did?"

"The Cui family proposed to win over the generals in the army, cultivate power, and support Wei Wang's succession. But the Cui family took over the matter of recruiting the generals alone, and did not give the other families a chance to intervene."

Lin Xuan sneered: "Don't your family just want to treat the emperor as a puppet? Isn't it normal for the Cui family to do that?"

"Based on this alone, it cannot be concluded that the Cui family wants to replace the royal family. But the Cui family still wants to provoke a war and let those people take power further. This is a big problem."

"The same family, if the Cui family can replace it, wouldn't it be more beneficial to the Lu family?" Lin Xuan said lightly.

"Because our Lu family feels that the Cui family is not His Majesty's opponent, and we don't want to follow the Cui family to a dead end." Lu Yuxuan said.

Lin Xuan said thoughtfully: "I don't know what the Lu family needs from me?"

Whether the Lu family's surrender is true or not, let Li Shimin have a headache.

"Master Hou just needs to bring the meaning of the Lu family to His Majesty." Lu Yuxuan said.

Lin Xuan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll bring it to you."

"Thank you, Lord Hou, those jewelry should be regarded as a thank you gift." Lu Yuxuan said.

Lin Xuan shook his head and refused, "No need, so as not to arouse suspicion."

There is no free lunch in the world, the more expensive something is, the hotter it is to hold.

……

After Changsun Wuji dropped his piece, he said: "Life is like a chess game. Many people are chess pieces, but they don't know it."

Hou Jun said with a smile: "Lin Xuan has its merits. Does Zhao Guogong know which piece of this chess piece I like the most?"

"Oh? The old man would like to hear the details." Changsun Wuji said lightly.

Hou Junji took a step forward with his pawns in his hand, and said, "The old man likes pawns the most. He's just a pawn, but he never backs down."

Changsun Wuji's eyes flashed brightly.

He sensed that Hou Junji was a bit out of control, so he deliberately came to beat him.

But Hou Junji used his pawns to tell him that he had no intention of retreating.
