Ah this...

How dare the servants of the Cui Mansion step forward when they see a group of fully armed regular soldiers?

Cui Yu's eyes widened, and she looked at the newcomer in disbelief.

"When did he come back? Could it be that the war in Western Turks has subsided?"

What does a triumphant return mean?

It means that everyone will be promoted! Anyone who has a small position in the army will receive a great reward.

In other words, Cui Qiuhua's son-in-law has another wave of epic enhancement?

In this case, he can't be let go!

He has great strategic significance for the Qinghe Cui family!

An old man was elected, he took a step forward and shouted loudly: "Qi Lang, if we let you be the elder of the Qinghe Cui family, can you stay?"

Cui Yu got angry when he heard it. What does it mean? I, the elder of the family, am still here, and you immediately found a new one without consent?

"Why? Is Cui Qiuhua qualified?"

Another old man smiled contemptuously: "Yes, he is not qualified, but are you Cui Yu qualified?"

"Sixth Brother, what do you mean by this?"

"Qi Lang's daughter married a dragon and phoenix among men, but what about your grandson Cui Jie? What else can he do besides eating, drinking and having fun? He doesn't learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and doesn't take the imperial examination. He just spends all day drinking and partying! It's really a disgrace to the family."

Someone echoed: "That's right, look at your good grandson, he actually joined forces with a few unlearned and unskilled playboys, spent more than 400 strings of cash, and bought back two Kunlun slaves?"

Is this an absurd thing that people with average IQ can do?

Cui Yu was blushing, and she couldn't refute it.

Cui Jie did such a stupid thing, which made the family bear the infamy for no reason, and had to spend money to avoid disaster.

But the impact of this little thing was far beyond everyone's imagination.

Since then, merchants in the South City no longer trade with the Five Surnames and Seven Families, and this has even spread to the East and West Markets.

When a clan member goes out to buy something and is about to pay, as soon as someone sees you wearing the clan emblem of the Five Surnames and Seven Families, they will immediately say that they will not sell it to you. What will others think?

Not to mention compared with Cui Qiuhua's eight outstanding daughters, even if you look at the entire family, Cui Jie is a rare existence.

The root cause lies in Cui Yu's mindless doting, which has cultivated this selfish, incompetent and aggressive character.

"So, we, the old men, think that Cui Yu, you are no longer suitable to continue to serve as the elder of the Qinghe Cui family."

Cui Yu laughed in anger: "Hahaha, do you think you can remove my identity based on the words of one family alone?"

"What if I am included?" More and more clan members stood up, accounting for 90% of the Qinghe Cui clan's split?

"You..." Cui Yu was dumbfounded.

She didn't expect that one day she would be deserted by her relatives and friends.

She still believed that she was not wrong! She was dedicated to the continuation of the glory of the family and the development of the foundation laid by the ancestors.

Cui Yu was collectively voted out of the position of the elder, and most people agreed to let Cui Qiuhua be the new elder.

However, Cui Qiuhua's family had long been gone.

He didn't care about that position at all, whoever wanted to do it could do it.

Just as Cui Qiuhua guessed, Cui Yu would never bow his head.

She was just an old stubborn!

Seeing that the three days were getting closer and closer, Cui Qiuhua was very anxious, but there was nothing she could do.

Song Zhen sneered, okay, in that case, then I'll play something big!

He handed the original book to Li Zhi without changing a word.

Li Zhi was in the imperial study, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he was, the more angry he was, and the more aggrieved he felt.

Why? I treated you well, why did you rebel?

Did I do something wrong? If I did something wrong, you can tell me, why don't you tell me?

Li Zhi's eyes turned red, and his fists were clenched tightly.

Seeing this, Song Zhen knew it was time to tell some shocking things, so he bowed and said.

"Your Majesty, I think you don't need to blame yourself too much. It's not your fault, but some people with bad intentions."

"Since the Zhenguan Reign, the lives of the people in the world have become more and more prosperous. Who dares to say that the current saint is not a wise ruler? If there is, I will be the first to rush up and kick him."

"Xunzi said: Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. And that water does not refer to the aristocratic families, but the people of the world."

Li Zhi's fist gradually relaxed.

Indeed, Song Zhen was right.

The aristocratic families are a group of ungrateful wolves who can never be fed. No matter how good I am to them, as long as there is a policy that affects their vital interests.

They will pick up swords and guns without hesitation and show their fangs and claws to the royal family.

What I want to care about is the common people of the world, not just a small number of people.

"Shouzheng, what do you think we should do?"

Song Zhen immediately replied: "OneOne word! Kill! Only by making them afraid can they recognize their own status. "

Li Zhi was shocked. This idea seemed a bit...

But he changed his mind and thought that if he attacked the noble families now, it would actually do more good than harm.

The Five Surnames and Seven Famous Clan members were self-righteous and boasted of their noble bloodline. Nowadays, there is a saying in the world that "the noble surnames are better than Cui, Lu, Li, Zheng and Wang".

In fact, in the early Tang Dynasty, the world really had to rely on the nobles of the Five Surnames and Seven Famous Clan members to stabilize the world.

It's a pity that they read all the books of sages, but they didn't understand the truth that "water overflows when it is full, and the moon wanes when it is full".

The Five Surnames and Seven Famous Clan members became more and more rampant and arrogant, and they continued to suppress the common people in politics and literature. , resulting in the current situation of "no commoners in the upper class, no gentry in the lower class".

Their tyrannical throne has made the Li Tang royal family feel deeply jealous.

Let me ask, if you were the emperor, would you like to see a flourishing scene of hundreds of schools of thought, or a single family that is so powerful that even the halo of the royal family is overshadowed?

Therefore, Li Zhi acquiesced to Song Zhen's previous series of measures and deliberately suppressed the five surnames and seven families.

And Song Zhen also borrowed the power of the royal family to punish the five surnames and seven families for their disdain for him.

Li Zhi was silent for a while, and he whispered to Song Zhen: "Then which gentry do you think should be attacked first? "

He actually had the answer in his mind, that is, the Longxi Li family.

The Longxi Li family is the most arrogant of the Five Surnames and Seven Families. This arrogance does not refer to cultural and political prominence.

Rather, they actually think that the blood of the Li Tang family is impure and not worthy of being included in the genealogy of the Longxi Li family.

They say no, but they rely on the background of the royal family to bully others. What's the reason?

As for the Boling Cui family and the Qinghe Cui family, it is not easy to start because they have many relatives serving as officials in the court.

Compared with them, the Zhaojun Li family and the Xingyang Zheng family are relatively low-key.

And the Fanyang Lu family and the Taiyuan Wang family have long announced their separation from the Guanlong Group of the Five Surnames and Seven Families.

However, what Li Zhi did not expect was that Song Zhen's answer was...

"Qinghe Cui family!"

"?" Li Zhi was shocked and said hurriedly, "I remember that your wife is from the Qinghe Cui family, isn't she?"

Song Zhen sneered: "So what? "

What a great way to kill your relatives for the sake of justice!

The imperial court needs people like you who don't care about your relatives!
