Chapter 99: Monument of Merit
It is rumored that the Cui family of Qinghe donated 50,000 stone of grain and 100,000 copper coins to the country at one time.
It's definitely a big deal.
At the court meeting in the early morning, the imperial historians began to stumble again, and the spearhead was directly aimed at Cui Jinghao.
The reason is naturally that Cui Jinghao donated so much money and food.
The officials of the imperial history staggered, Lao Li's face was naturally difficult to look at, and he could see that this group of gate valve clans didn't want to take a copper plate or a grain of rice.
Those who donate money and those who don't donate money spray together, Cui Jinghao is naturally not an opponent, and the one who was sprayed almost committed suicide by hitting the pillar.
The scribes of the Literature Museum were silent, and it was not yet time for them to speak, His Royal Highness King Wei said that he was only interested in Cheng Huailiang, and he had to help Cheng Huailiang, and the rest could be ignored.
What's more, the gate valve clan still disgusted Li Zhi from time to time, and now Cui Jinghao proposes to donate money and food, then donate, even if you donate the two, it has nothing to do with our literature museum.
Fortunately, when Cheng Huailiang stood up with the wat board in his hand, all the imperial historians were no longer beepping.
Cheng Huailiang asked Li Chunfeng, the Qintianjian to choose a good day and an auspicious day, choose a place outside Chang'an City, and set up a merit monument for the Cui family in Qinghe, so that the people, merchants, and Hu people can see the place where they can see it, and let them all see how the gate lord clan of the Tang Dynasty serves the country and the people.
Lao Li was embarrassed for a while, how did Cheng Huailiang come up with such a damaging method?
After Cheng Huailiang put forward his opinion, the old god stick pretended to calculate and stepped forward, "Your Majesty, today is a good day and an auspicious day." This year, there is no more auspicious day than today. ”
Lao Li's heart warmed for a while, Li Chun is popular, don't look at the usual inconspicuous mountains, but when you really use him, you really rush forward.
Ryazan stood up at this time and bowed to Lao Lishen, "Your Majesty, the minister agrees with Cheng Huailiang's suggestion to build a monument of merit, accompanied by merit and virtue, and the righteousness of the Cui family in Qinghe." It deserves to be subject to this monument. ”
Li Shimin was overjoyed in his heart, his stupid son had finally cultivated a group of officials who spoke to the royal people, which was also the final reason why Lao Li wanted to build the Literature Museum and the Hongwen Museum.
It's a pity that the crown prince Li Chengqian is crooked, and Li Tai is busy working on "The Chronicles of the Ground", so he doesn't understand the ultimate meaning of Lao Li at all.
As soon as Ryazan spoke, several imperial historians of the Literature Museum also spoke one after another, agreeing with Cheng Huailiang's approach.
In the court, although the generals were reluctant, they still agreed. After all, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, it is the first time that a gate valve clan has taken the initiative to donate food and money.
The three giants of Wenchen also agreed, and the matter was condemned to death.
As soon as it was said, the Ministry of Engineering began to select and make stone tablets, and Ryazan and the scholars of the Literature Museum were responsible for writing the inscriptions. After a morning's work, this was done.
Outside Chang'an City, a stone monument more than three meters high stands there.
Ryazan is also very lacking in virtue, and an inscription does not look at the surface as a tribute to the Cui family.
In fact, if you look closely, you will see that it looks like an inscription written to a dead man.
Of course, it doesn't matter whether the content is written for the living or the dead, as long as it is disgusting to the five surnames and seven hopes.
The foundation of the Cui family in Qinghe is in Wushuifang, and after receiving this news, the old man Cui, the head of the Cui family, angrily threw more than a dozen tea bowls and overturned several tables, but he couldn't calm the anger in his heart.
The five surnames and seven hopes are in the same breath, and the Qinghe Cui family donated money and food at this time, isn't this a fire to burn themselves to death? What do you make the rest of the people think?
"Damn Cui Jinghao, the Cui family has a white-eyed wolf." Old Man Cui immediately found someone, "Tell me to go down, use the Cui family's internal response in the capital, and dispose of Cui Jinghao as soon as possible." Re-send people to the capital as officials. ”
At this time, a thirty-five or sixteen-year-old woman walked in gently, "Ancestor, don't be angry, your body is important." You are the backbone of the Cui family. ”
This woman is none other than Cui Ying, the official next heir of the Cui family.
"How can you not be angry? This is to kill the Cui family. Old man Cui sighed again and again.
"Ancestor, since Cui Jinghao is like this with the royal family, there is no need to kill Cui Jinghao, so as not to leave a pretext for the royal family." Cui Ying paused, "Ancestor, the stele is already standing there, this is forcing the Cui family to take money and food, granddaughter go to the capital once, find out the situation, if you force the Cui family to donate money and food, it is also a helpless thing." ”
"Donate, just like the Li family bowing their heads, it will make the rest of the family look down on it. Especially the Boling Cui clan, I wish that the Qinghe Cui clan would be removed from the five surnames and seven wangs. The old man Cui sat on the chair limp all over, "Qinghe Cui's family, when the time comes...... I'm afraid I'm going to disappear from the five surnames and seven hopes. ”
"Ancestor, believe in your granddaughter, granddaughter can do well."
"Well, let's take a look. If you can see the emperor, you can also see it. ”
"Granddaughter understands."
As soon as the merit monument came out, the Li clan of Zhaojun, the Cui clan of Boling, the Lu clan of Fanyang, the Zheng clan of Xingyang, and the Wang clan of Taiyuan, everyone couldn't sit still.
It is enough to curse the Qinghe Cui family, and I can't wait to let the Qinghe Cui family be wiped out directly.
But the question arises again, who is the reason why Qinghe Cui's family is donating money and food?
The eyeliner and the officials in Chang'an City didn't know what was going on, that is, as soon as the court meeting opened, Cui Jinghao proposed to support Hou Junji in the name of Qinghe Cui's family.
The information is not very comprehensive, but after analysis, two conclusions can be drawn.
The first is that Cui Jinghao has yin against the Qinghe Cui family, and the second is because Gao Shilian is repairing "Clan Chronicles", and the Qinghe Cui family wants to hold the royal family tightly and wants to make themselves rank higher in "Clan Chronicles".
It doesn't matter which conclusion it is, it's not good for the five surnames and seven hopes, and it's very passive.
Now the people of Confucius Shengmen have begun to hype up the Qinghe Cui family, how to listen to it and how to say it. This made the gate valve clan not know how to deal with it.
The emperor of the Tang Dynasty is a soft persimmon, and the gate valve clans can pinch it as much as they want, Lao Li is disobedient, and the matter of Xuanwumen will be said, which will provoke Lao Li to be in a commotion.
But the literati under the sect of Sage Kong are different, this group of people is not interested in being officials, in the eyes of the gate valve clan, this group of people is a person who sells fame and reputation.
But they really can't afford to provoke the people of the Confucian Holy Gate, don't look at the gate valve clan has countless scribes in their hands. But you have to spray against the people of Kong Shengmen...... Lend you a few guts.
The scribes in the hands of the gate lord clan also read his mother's sage books. Are you provoking the Kong family? Forget it, even if Kong Yingda doesn't come forward, that group of white-clothed scribes will be enough for you to drink a pot.
But the people of Kong Shengmen can't look down on the scribes in the hands of the Shangguan clan, and everyone has always been well water and not river water.
Do you really want to provoke the people of Kong Shengmen?
Maybe Kong Yingda only has one sentence: Come on, hurt each other! The ancestor's surname is Kong Mingqiu, and the word Zhongni!
