Emperor Taiwu rejuvenated the country for ten years, and Cui Qi, who was the supervisor of the Central Committee at the time, vigorously promoted the Sinicization reform in the Northern Yan court, hoping to rely on the ruling power of the Xianbei royal family to implement the Confucian concept of governing the country since the Han and Wei dynasties, and implement its high-ranking officials and erudite gate valve government.

However, its series of reforms, especially the first and fifth rank of the lord, the whole people, and the distinction of surnames, fundamentally touched the interests of the Xianbei nobles at that time, and caused strong protests from the Xianbei nobles and soldiers who guarded various places.

Twelve years ago, Cui Ji was wiped out by the three clans.

The once-prominent Qinghe Cui clan fell into a trough.

Zheng Jing had carefully looked at Cui Ji's Sinicization restructuring plan, and also discussed the reasons for Cui Ji's failure with the staff and guests in the house.

What is wrong is that the military power at that time was in the hands of the Xianbei aristocracy, and the Han people entered the court established by the Xianbei people by virtue of their talents, and established the national system with Confucian knowledge and culture.

For example, my grandfather's position as a Zhongshu Ling, if he received Shangshu affairs, he would be in charge of the government, and without this title, he would participate in the government together with the Shangshu Ling of Shangshutai and the servant of the province under his door.

In this way, Zheng Jingcai came up with such an idea, and he did not take the usual way of becoming a leader.

And now, it is not twelve years ago, after the strong support of the imperial court, the power of the imperial family has gradually risen, and he can start from the shogunate of the kings.

"I will write a book to explain the reason for it, and let you bring it to your grandfather and uncle. ”

"That's for the best. Cui Shilin looked at Zheng Jing, who looked old on the other side, and said with a smile: "I'm worried about how to say and explain to Zu Weng Yeye, you can probably guess Zu Weng and Yeye's thoughts." ”

Zheng Jing only nodded and did not answer.

Cui Shilin took a sip of the sake in the glass, placed the wine cup on the desk, leaned slightly on the hidden sac behind him, his fingers like white jade touched the desk, his black forged hair was tied up with a green jade hairpin, and he was dressed in a plain wide-sleeved robe, looking at the sunlight coming in from the window, his skin became more and more white as jade, and the color turned bright, and the endless brilliance was confusing to people's eyes.

I only heard Cui Shilin say loudly: "Okay, now let's talk about business and family affairs." ”

"Is there a difference?" Zheng Jing came back to his senses and raised his eyebrows to look at Cui Shilin, he didn't feel a difference.

At first, Cui Shilin also noticed Zheng Jing's abnormality, and Zheng Jing and Zheng Wei said that his uncle Zheng Han was not feeling well, he thought, I am more afraid that he is not in a good mood, "In the past few days when I am here, I will find an opportunity to have a good chat with my uncle." This is also the main purpose of his trip, he doesn't want to separate the two families and thus alienate them because of this incident.

If you want to send the news alone, you can send a servant to deliver the message, and there is no need for him to come in person.

As soon as he heard Cui Shilin mention this, Zheng Jing remembered that in the Silent Garden before, Aya was so annoyed, and the corners of his mouth smiled bitterly, "This matter is still handed over to the uncle, although you are a guest, but in the end, you are a junior, when you ask your father for peace these days, it is best not to mention these things again, there are some words, it is more useful to tell the uncle directly." ”

Zheng Jing is very sure that with his father's temperament, he can directly get angry at Cui Shilin, and if you talk about this family, the only one who can make your father listen to a few words is his uncle.

Cui Shilin shook his head, looking at the wry smile on Zheng Jing's face, he also felt a headache, but he was noncommittal, and suddenly looked at Zheng Jing, the smile on his face became a little thicker, "Ah Da, Thirteen Niang is very good, she is worthy of being a girl from the Li family in Longxi." ”

Zheng Jing was stunned for a moment, and then the expression on his face relaxed, "When you got married last year, you and your uncle and mother came over for a trip, haven't you seen them all, what else is there to worry about." ”

"I just saw each other in a hurry last time, and I didn't get along much, how can I know how much?" Cui Shilin smiled, "As the saying goes, it takes a long time to see people's hearts, Xixi has been back for more than half a year, and it is indeed rare to be so close to her, I heard Grandma say that when Xixi was young, the nurses around her have changed several stubbles, and after I go back this time, Grandma (grandmother) should always be relieved." ”

"If I can, I hope that Hee Hee can go back to Pingcheng and return to her grandmother. ”

"Ah Da, Ye Ye has no daughters, unless you want Xixi to marry the Xianbei nobles of Pingcheng, otherwise, don't send Xixi back to Pingcheng. Cui Shilin said, glanced at Zheng Jing, and said: "At the beginning of the year, Prime Minister Yihun showed his mouth, when Zu Weng heard it, he couldn't wait to send Xixi back, and the wild slave and Xixi grew up together since childhood, and the deep affection, now the wild slave can no longer return to Pingcheng, even if Xixi wants to go to Pingcheng again, he is afraid that he is not willing to part with the wild slave. ”

Zheng Jing listened and called Brother A, "I hope Xixi will return to Pingcheng, just to break Aye's idea of merging Xixi and Aji." ”

"Zu Weng understands what you mean, but Zu Weng and Ye Ye both think that if the uncle really has this intention, it is not necessary to wait for the imperial court to amnesty. ”

Suddenly, Zheng Jing's heart sank slightly, "I don't agree." ”

"Ahh Cui Shilin called.

I only heard Zheng Jing say, "In this world, except for Ah Ji, anyone can become Xixi's husband, even if it is a Hu person or a poor man." ”

Hu people are poor?

When Cui Shilin heard this, he immediately looked at Zheng Jing dumbfounded, opened his mouth, couldn't speak for a long time, and finally only said lightly, "Ah Da, you are laughing." ”

――*――*――

The fifth uncle Zheng Xu has both a daughter and a granddaughter who married into the Cui family, and an eighteen uncle who married the Cui family's daughter, so the family banquet in the evening, the Langjun and the lady of the fifth uncle's room came to participate.

There are a lot of people and it is extremely lively.

After a full meal, it is Kabuki again.

Zheng Sui didn't even sleep at noon because of the arrival of his eldest cousin, and during the dinner, his spirit was a little weak.

When I woke up again, the bright moon was in the sky, the silver light was all over the ground, in the early winter, the night was cold, Liu Yuan had already carried her out of the banquet hall, followed by the maid before and after, Zheng Sui looked around, this is the way to look back at the main garden from the banquet hall, and then asked the Cai Fu on the side sleepily, "The banquet in front is gone?"

"Not yet, Thirteen Niang instructed us to send the little lady back first. ”

When Zheng Sui heard this, he let out a soft sigh, hugged Liu Yuan's neck, and leaned firmly on Liu Yuan's arms, his mind gradually became clearer, and he suddenly thought about something, and said busily: "Let's not look back at the main garden, let's go to the Shoujing Garden first." ”

Tonight's banquet, Aya didn't attend, she kept thinking about it at the banquet, and wanted to ask the fifth brother, but the fifth brother never came to the seat of the lady at home.
