Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 650
Why do you say that?

The reason is very simple. If the "Clan Records" compiled by Li Shimin can really determine who is the first-class noble family, then Li Zhi will not have to issue an order to prohibit intermarriage of seven surnames and ten families.But after Li Zhi ordered the ban, the aristocratic family became more arrogant.

See, the emperor doesn't want us to intermarry, so he has taken care of it!
The pride of the family comes from the glory of their ancestors.

Of course, the more important thing is that they don't think much of the Li family, the royal family of mixed Han and Xianbei blood.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin married his sister, daughter, and hero to Xungui, not only because of the reason of wooing the hero, but also because of helplessness.

No one is willing to marry the princess because of the children of the family.No one came to ask for marriage, so he couldn't lower his face and force the princess to the aristocratic family.

The face of the royal family is still needed.

And his heroes even let the second son marry the princess instead of the eldest son.

See, no, this is the current situation at the beginning of Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin complained more than once, saying: "You f*cks have become so degraded, what kind of dogs are you, why are you dragging, open your dog eyes and see, in the Tang Dynasty, how many of you are in the top, and you are still fighting with Lao Tzu." Put on the show, you guys deserve it too! '

After scolding, he was depressed again, so depressed!
why?

Because he found that even though there were not many high-ranking officials from the Shandong family in the court, the folk scholars still held these guys high.

Good guy, you look down on the officials under my command, don't you?

Then, Li Shimin slapped his head and decided to disgust these aristocratic families.As a result, the aristocratic family didn't care at all, they even said: "You repair, let you repair, I bow half my head, I am your son."

I do my own way!

"Clan Records" is not useful at all, but makes those Shandong aristocratic families laugh at it, because Li Shimin ranked the royal family's Li surname first.

Why did Cui Mingan lower his head so simply?

First, Emperor Li Zhiyun never mentioned the matter of compiling the "Clan Records" at all, and he never expressed his desire for talents from the aristocratic family, basically following the fate.

Second, Li Zhiyun is different from Li Shimin.At that time, when Li Shimin came to power, he killed his brother first, then his younger brother, and then imprisoned the emperor's father before ascending the throne.In the eyes of an aristocratic family with extremely strict ideology of superiority and inferiority, Li Shimin is rebellious, committing crimes above and below!
They even felt that Datang would not be able to last for a few years, and that sooner or later Li Shimin's messing around would lead to a vicious start.I always feel that the Tang Dynasty, like the Sui Dynasty, will come to an end sooner or later.This can't be blamed on the aristocratic family's thinking, because in the hundreds of years of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, there were too many such bad things to count.Originally, when the Sui Dynasty was established, they felt that the troubled times were over.

But unexpectedly, the Sui Dynasty also died in the second generation.In this way, they felt that the death of Tang Dynasty II was not impossible.Coupled with the arrogance of the Turks at that time, Li Shimin was forced to kill a white horse and have a party in Weishui.

The aristocratic family felt that Li Shimin could not last long.

As for Li Zhiyun, he ascended the throne in a legitimate way. The aristocratic family didn't have much affection for him, but it wasn't disgusting either.

Third, Li Zhiyun killed the Turks a few years ago and completely stabilized the northern border. From Cui Mingan's eyes, it can be seen that unless the emperor messes around a bit, the old Li family basically has a stable place in the world.

Now that the old Li family is firmly established in the world, there is no need to think about it. How to develop the family is how to develop the family.

Aristocratic families have rules of survival in troubled times, and they also have rules in prosperous times.

What's more, today's emperor brings a lot of younger brothers to make money, who wouldn't be jealous.

Follow the emperor, there is broth to eat.

After hearing Cui Mingan's answer, Li Zhiyun patted him on the shoulder and praised him: "Songzhou is well organized by you, I will not let the pearl of talent be dusted."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment."

Two days later, the emperor issued an imperial decree, appointing Cui Mingan as Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

As the news spread, the ministers behaved differently.

Those who are smarter have already noticed that the Boling Cui family is getting closer to the emperor, such as Cui Yixuan and others.If you're an idiot, you think that Cui Min's shit luck is valued by the emperor.

In any case, this matter is over.

Changle Hall.

After the new year, Chang'an's fifth rank and above ordered his wife to enter the palace to pay his respects to the empress.This is the ancestral system and must be followed.

The ministers also like that their wives can have a good relationship with the empress. Who doesn't know that His Majesty respects and loves the empress very much.If my wife can handle the relationship well with the empress, there will be a lot of benefits.

Of course, if this kind of thing was put in the time of Emperor Xuan of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the ministers would never let their wives enter the palace.

But today, to put it bluntly, the ministers all feel that His Majesty is a little abstinent.The first emperor's concubines all had more than two digits. Your Majesty, if the ministers hadn't repeatedly asked for selection of concubines, there would be fewer concubines in the harem.

Therefore, the ministers are very relieved.

A small number of courtiers even speculated maliciously in their hearts that the emperor only liked Qin Wangfei.

After the ladies saw the ceremony, the Empress ordered someone to arrange a seat.

There is also a certain amount of attention to seating, with the first rank at the front and the fifth rank at the end.Those who can confer a first-rank imperial order on their wives, all their husbands are high-ranking officials such as the Duke of the Dynasty, the General, the Prime Minister, and the Six Ministers.

Or, it is the wife of the emperor's confidant minister.

Hierarchical.

Empress Yang routinely chatted with all the female relatives, and then talked about the silkworm ceremony in March.

These honorable dukes' wives, wives of great generals, and even wives of Xiangguo respectfully respected the young Empress Yang, and they responded to whatever they said.

Among them, Empress Yang chatted the most with Mrs. Du, Mrs. Fang, Mrs. Xue, Mrs. Qin and other female relatives.

Quite a few of the fifth-rank wives in the last row could only nod to greet them, and it was not their turn to speak, unless Queen Yang asked.

On the women's side, the hierarchy is exceptionally obvious.To make a digression, many female relatives are actually extremely jealous of those first-rank wives.For them, there are no national affairs to think about, the only thing to think about is how to get spiritual enjoyment.

And a noble status is undoubtedly their lifelong pursuit.

Halfway through the chat, Empress Yang looked at the concubine in the harem.

"Cui Xiurong."

"The concubine is here." A young concubine stood up slowly. She was exquisite in figure, beautiful in appearance, and dignified in her demeanor.

Empress Yang introduced to the imperial wives: "This one is Cui Xiurong who was conferred by His Majesty two days ago."

Hearing this, the ladies hurriedly got up to pay their respects.

"I've seen Mrs. Cui."

Cui Xiurong nodded slightly and returned the salute.

In the crowd, Cui Mingan's wife glanced at Cui Xiurong, secretly happy.

This clan sister really has some skills.

Cui Xiurong's name was Cui Shanggui, his courtesy name was Shuzhen, and he was born in the Cui family of Boling.

In the original history, this woman should have been selected into the harem in the first year of Wude, but because of the appearance of Li Zhiyun, a little butterfly effect occurred.

Cui Shanggui did not enter the harem in the first year of Wude, but entered the harem in Li Zhiyun's draft.

Two days ago, Li Zhiyun got lucky with her, and after knowing her identity, he made her his concubine.

This matter is just a trivial matter, but after these women go back, they will inevitably inquire about this newly promoted concubine.

For them, it is also a kind of help to find out which concubine the emperor favors.Because, maybe this one will become His Majesty's new favorite.

No one dared to say such a thing.

After all, men like to love the new and dislike the old, don't they?
