Cui Qiuhua's expression froze.

This request was not too difficult, nor too excessive.

Song Zhen did not want money or fame, which was really tolerant.

But, could you change the request?

Cui Qiuhua knew the character of the elder Cui Yu very well. You want her to bow her head? It would be better to kill her.

She was such a stubborn person.

From childhood to adulthood, she always said what she meant. It was because of her character that she was finally chosen as the leader of the Qinghe Cui family.

However, now...

Cui Qiuhua had to find a way to go back to the family to persuade the elders.

Song Zhen pointed to the booklet on the table and stopped him: "Father-in-law, don't forget to take this booklet."

"?" Cui Qiuhua looked at him in confusion. Isn't there only one book?

Song Zhen smiled: "You think too much, this is just a rubbing. I have many similar books. The original is still in the hands of the postman. It will arrive in Luoyang in about three days."

"Remember, I only give her two days to consider, and I won't wait for her after the deadline."

"I hope she can be a wise man who knows the current situation and don't make stupid decisions."

Cui Qiuhua hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to take it.

After he left, Song Zhen took out another booklet from his arms and played with it in his hands.

In fact, the original was not in the postman's hands at all, but was always in his pocket.

Moreover, the real handbook recorded in detail that there were not only the Cui family of Qinghe, but also the Cui family of Boling, the Lu family of Fanyang, the Li family of Longxi...

Almost all the five surnames and seven families were contacted by the Wen and Yu families.

Even the noble Hedong Pei family of Guanzhong was on the list.

What a coincidence, that page was full of northern families.

Song Zhen also doubted its authenticity, but do you think Li Zhi would doubt it?

He is the emperor, he doesn't need to listen to your explanation, he only looks at the results.

Some people may question whether Li Zhi will really make up his mind to eradicate the great aristocratic families?

The aristocratic families do hold the world's knowledge, as well as countless lands and wealth.

If Li Tang wants to move the Five Surnames and Seven Famous Cities, it will inevitably hurt his bones.

However, you have to be clear.

The Tang Dynasty will not stop running without someone.

Li Zhi can choose to destroy only one of the Five Surnames and Seven Famous Cities, and keep the other families as they are.

Let another family take over the books, land and wealth of that family, and vigorously support the emerging families.

Over time, everyone will gradually forget the aristocratic family that was exterminated.

If it were in the past, Li Zhi might have been afraid of public opinion.

But after Song Zhen's actions, if the Five Surnames and Seven Famous Cities exterminated a family, I'm afraid it would not be condemned, but applauded by the whole world, right?

Therefore, there is only one way for Cui Yu.

Bow your head and kneel down to admit your mistakes, so that Song Zhen can marry Cui Mengzhu in a grand manner.

Not only can it preserve the Qinghe Cui family, but it can also reverse the long-standing bad reputation of the Five Surnames and Seven Famous Families among the people.

Many people compare Song Zhen and Cui Mengzhu to Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai in the Tang Dynasty. In fact, their situations are similar to those in the play.

The difference is that Song Zhen has the ability to fight against them, but Liang Shanbo, unfortunately, does not.

Now, people all over the world are watching the good show.

The play on the stage is a good show, and in reality, it is another good show.

People all over the world just want to see, are you, the Qinghe Cui family, so stubborn?

Not to mention others, even other families of the Five Surnames and Seven Famous Families are trying to persuade the Qinghe Cui family to bow their heads.

"Let's forget it. Song Zhen is a talented guy after all."

"Yes, who in your Qinghe Cui family is more promising than Song Zhen? Who holds a higher official position than him?"

"Although it is a bit one-sided to only look at the official position, Song Zhen does have the ability to be famous for thousands of years."

"Yes, Song Zhen will be recorded in history books in the future. When the time comes, we can mention that he is the son-in-law of the Qinghe Cui family. Doesn't that mean that your family will also be famous for thousands of years?"

"Cui Yu! You don't want to see a glorious family that has been around for a long time destroyed in your hands, right?"

......

Cui Yu was so angry that she was very active in making sarcastic remarks. Don't think I don't know what you are up to!

It's nothing more than sacrificing the Qinghe Cui family to preserve the reputation of your family.

She felt wronged. Not only did people outside the family scold her, but even many people in the family slandered her.

Family members, who understands?

She felt like she was about to get depressed. It was so hard for me...

"Don't force me anymore. If you keep talking nonsense, I will jump into the Luo River and end my life!"

There was no other way. The buildings in the Tang Dynasty were not high. If I jumped down, I was afraid I would not die.

Originally, Cui Yu thought that this would win the sympathy of his family members.Unexpectedly, in the environment where you can hear a pin drop, a sentence came out suddenly.

"Go jump, the sooner you die, the sooner you will be reborn."

Cui Yu clenched his fists tightly, and veins on his forehead bulged!

"Who! Which unworthy descendant is it? You are making such a fuss here?"

A young man took the initiative to stand up. He looked at Cui Yu with contempt and said coldly: "It's me."

"Cui Mengzhen?" Cui Yu hurriedly called for someone to drag this guy out, "Didn't you leave the Cui family of Qinghe?"

"It's okay, I just came back to take a look. One less look."

What do you mean, kid? What do you mean by one less look? It's as if the Cui family of Qinghe will be destroyed tomorrow!

Unexpectedly, another person pushed the crowd away, holding up the booklet in his hand.

"Dear elders, I don't know if you know about the Wen and Yu families in Yongzhou?"

"Huh?" The Wen and Yu families? Aren't they the Jiangnan families that were exterminated for the crime of treason some time ago?

"I don't know if you know that the elder Cui Yu has had contact with the Wen and Yu families."

"What?" Everyone was shocked and turned their eyes to Cui Yu.

Cui Yu shrank her neck and stammered, "Why are you looking at me? They wrote to me, but I didn't agree to them at the time, and I wrote a letter to politely refuse."

"Where is the letter?"

"In my room."

"Stupid!" Cui Qiuhua cursed!

Cui Yu jumped up anxiously, leaning on her crutches and cursing, "Cui Qiuhua, do you know who I am? How dare you scold me?"

"Why can't I scold? Do you know that your behavior will bring the entire Qinghe Cui family into the bottomless abyss!"

I really don't know what's wrong with this person's brain. You can just hide the letter after receiving it, why do you have to reply?

Do you want to show that you are very polite, well-educated, and have a great demeanor?

Do you think the court will want to see what you reply? They just need to know that you have had contact with the Wen and Yu families, that's enough.

At this time, the old men who originally supported Cui Yu all sighed and shook their heads.

Cui Qiuhua passed the booklet he brought to everyone to read.

After reading it, everyone widened their eyes and turned pale.

They knew that if this booklet was passed to the palace, it would cause serious consequences.

Maybe the Qinghe Cui family would end up like the Wen and Yu families.

After reading it, Cui Yu tore the booklet to pieces with a guilty conscience.

"It's useless, it's just a rubbing book."

"The original is still in Song Zhen's hands."

"What?" Song Zhen?

That's it.

Everyone knows that since Song Zhen was rejected by the Qinghe Cui family, he has done a series of things to slander the Five Surnames and Seven Families, looking like he has a deep hatred.

"However, Song Zhen said that as long as the Qinghe Cui family meets one of his requests, he will destroy the booklet."

Someone asked anxiously: "What request?"

Now that the family's survival is at stake, there is no time to worry about so many things.

Even if it means losing all the family wealth, even if Song Zhen is written into the Qinghe Cui family's genealogy, even if he is made the Cui family elder, it is not a bad idea.

Cui Qiuhua pointed at Cui Yu, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke.

"He said that as long as the elders of the family go over and kneel down to apologize in person, he will let the Qinghe Cui family go."

The eyes of the crowd suddenly became subtle, and they all looked at Cui Yu.
