Little Detective of the Tang Dynasty: What to do if you are beheaded at the beginning?

In another carriage, Cui Qiufang looked at Cui Mengzhu with a smile, which made her feel embarrassed.

"Seventh Aunt..."

"Hey."

"?"

Cui Qiufang held Cui Mengzhu's hand, her tone revealing relief.

"I didn't expect that you and Shouzheng are actually in love with each other, so I don't have to bother with matchmaking."

After saying that, her expression froze. What else is there to match? Qinghe Cui family has nothing to do with her.

"How did you two know each other?"

Cui Mengzhu secretly complained, you may not believe it, we knew each other in the last life, are you afraid?

She had to weave a fictitious plot to scare Seventh Aunt.

"Speaking of which, your temperament is similar to mine when I was young, strong-willed!"

"Uh..."

"Have you thought about the way out?"

Cui Mengzhu sighed: "No, let's take it one step at a time?" If it weren't for the situation, to be honest, she didn't want to leave that home.

What she is worried about now is what will happen to her sister if she leaves?

People are not plants, who can be heartless? During this period, she got along well with her sister Cui Mengting.

She likes her very much.

On the other side, Cui Yu, the elder of the Qinghe Cui clan, urgently summoned representatives of the five surnames and seven clans to hold a meeting.

At the same time, Song Zhen also found Gongsun Qing and Pei Yaojun to inform them of the subsequent plan.

"Everyone, what do you think about what happened today?"

Bo Ling Cui's representative said expressionlessly: "Song Zhen is too much of a bully. He simply doesn't take the Five Surnames and Seven Families seriously!"

Longxi Li's representative spoke: "No, no, no, I think the ones who should be condemned the most are Fanyang Lu and Jinyang Wang! These two traitors!"

Cui Yu frowned and looked around: "Didn't Qixian Wang and Zhongshan Wang notify?"

"Yes, they said that the elders were not here and it was not easy for them to come forward."

"Heh!" Everyone sneered. This is simply an excuse! Since you have been arranged to be a family representative in Luoyang, it means that you must have a certain say in the clan.

In the final analysis, you still don't share the same mind as everyone else.

Bo Ling Cui's representative suddenly slammed the table! He shouted loudly: "I propose to kick Taiyuan Wang out of the Five Surnames and Seven Families! From now on, there will only be four surnames, not five surnames!"

"Second!"

"Agree!"

Everyone raised their hands to vote, and 60% of them agreed with this decision.

Suddenly, someone asked weakly: "Then, what about the Fanyang Lu family?"

"Uh..." The representative of the Bo Ling Cui family blushed, and after a long time of guilt, he said four words: "It remains to be seen."

Do you think he is stupid? The Fanyang Lu family is not weak, and there are many talents! In the early Tang Dynasty, the most talented people were the Fanyang Lu family, and even the Bo Ling Cui family, the leader of the Five Surnames and Seven Famous Clan, had to stand aside.

Let's not talk about poets, let's talk about the power in the court.

In the north, there is Lu Chengqing, the governor of Ruzhou, who is from the third rank. In the south, there is Lu Yang, the governor of Bingzhou, who is also from the third rank.

Moreover, Lu Chengqing is now highly valued by the saint and was sent to the Western Turks to distribute land. Everyone can see that as long as Lu Chengqing returns, he will definitely be appointed as prime minister.

How much power and prestige does a prime minister have? It goes without saying.

If the Fanyang Lu family is kicked out of the Five Surnames and Seven Famous Clan, wouldn't it be cutting off one's own hands and feet?

It is absolutely not allowed.

But the Wang family of Taiyuan is different. Some time ago, "Wang was abolished and Wu was established". Queen Wang came from the Wang family of Taiyuan.

Therefore, the reputation of the Wang family of Taiyuan in the folk has fallen by more than half, and since the early Tang Dynasty, there has been no top talent.

Even if it is kicked out of the Five Surnames and Seven Famous, it will not hurt.

If you want to pinch a persimmon, you always have to find a soft one.

The representative of the Longxi Li family pondered: "Since everyone agrees, then I will arrange someone to go down and write some articles. Tell the gentry in the world that the Wang family of Taiyuan is not worthy of being one of the Five Surnames and Seven Famous."

The neutral representative of the Boling Cui family refuted him: "Have you ever thought about it? Now that the Li Tang family has issued the "Prohibition of Marriage Edict", it clearly states that the descendants of Taiyuan Wang Qiong are not allowed to marry. Do you think the essay is useful?"

When mentioning the "Prohibition of Marriage Edict", representatives of various ethnic groups had a headache.

"Dear elders, in my opinion, the so-called "Prohibition of Marriage Edict" is actually just a piece of waste paper." It was Lu Wei who spoke, and the people of their Beizu Wufang had not left yet.

Cui Yu had a very bad impression of him! She yelled, "Do you have the right to speak here?"

The representative of the Longxi Li family stretched out his hand to interrupt Cui Yu: "Old Cui, now the first, second and third houses of the Northern Ancestor of the Fanyang Lu family have been instigated by villains. The fourth house can be won over by keeping silent, and only the fifth house is on the same side with us."

Others also advised, hoping that Cui Yu would not act on impulse and should put the overall situation first.

Cui Yu felt as uncomfortable as if she had eaten dog shit! She turned her head away angrily.

"Go on."

After getting the support of the big boss, Lu Wei talked freely:"The Li Tang family did issue the "Marriage Ban Edict", so what? Do we, the noble Five Surnames and Seven Nobles, have to follow his edict? What qualifications does he have to make decisions?"

Once these words came out, they were deeply popular.

In the eyes of the Five Surnames and Seven Nobles, although the Li Tang family came from the Longxi Li family, everyone thought.

They were not pure Han people, but were married to the Xianbei people, and their bloodline was filthy!

The Li Tang family was just a nouveau riche, and they seized the power of the world by relying on the right time and place.

But in terms of cultural heritage, popular reputation, and family background, they were far inferior to the Five Surnames and Seven Nobles!

At the beginning, the Five Surnames and Seven Nobles disdained to serve as officials in the court.

During the Jin and Sui dynasties, they relied on the privilege of "occupying land and hiding guests", that is, official positions protected three generations of relatives and held the power of the court.

However, as the Tang Dynasty vigorously promoted the imperial examination system, in order to maintain their family status, they could only take the imperial examination with a group of poor children whom they looked down upon.

Since the inheritance left by their ancestors was so rich, fame and fortune were as easy as taking something out of a bag for them.

The representative of the Cui family of Boling nodded: "What Lu Wei said makes sense. Since the Li Tang family does not allow us to marry, then we will not hold a wedding in public. The noble bloodline of the Five Surnames and Seven Famous Clan must be kept pure and continued!"

They planned to do it secretly!

According to the original historical trajectory, the Five Surnames and Seven Famous Clan did so, making the "Marriage Prohibition Edict" like a piece of waste paper.

However, they ignored the variable of Song Zhen.

"Dear elders, the culprit of this incident is Song Zhen!" Lu Wei suggested to ban Song Zhen!

How to ban him? That is naturally to call on scholars all over the world to boycott the new music created by Song Zhen.

"No, no, no, this is not enough." Lu Wei shook his head, and he said with a ferocious look, "Not only should we boycott! We should also devalue the new music to nothing! It is cultural dregs!"

After some discussion, the Five Surnames and Seven Famous Clan came up with a slogan.

"Revitalizing the glory of Han music is our duty!"

Defining Song Zhen's new music as a cultural invasion of the Hu people, if you are a Han Chinese like me, you should boycott his works with me!

If you don't boycott, you are not a Han Chinese!

The neutral representative of the Cui family in Boling frowned and said, "Aren't you guys kidding? Song Zhen is from the Song family in Fenzhou, what kind of Hu person is he?"

"We say he is a Hu person, then he is a Hu person. Is there a problem?"

The neutral representative choked, confusing right and wrong, right?

Lu Wei secretly clenched his fists, his facial muscles twitching.

"Song Zhen, you made me lose face in public! Then I will never let you live in this world! I not only want you to die, but also ruin your reputation!"

Song Zhen, who was far away in Pingkangfang, was investigating the case with Di Renjie and Xue Zhengqing.
