In fact, Han Yi's personality is very complicated, so complicated that he doesn't know himself, sometimes things that are very serious in the eyes of others, he may just laugh it off, even if he is wronged, it doesn't matter, but some things are not a big deal in the eyes of others, it is normal, but he may go to fight with you recklessly, it is difficult to figure out.

Cui Jijian detained Brother Xiong, which he could understand, after all, Brother Xiong secretly ran to his house, but he couldn't accept beating Brother Xiong, in his opinion, this was far more worthy of anger than him being hit by the thirty boards.

Therefore, this time he doesn't plan to settle things like last time, and he must make the Cui family pay the price, otherwise he really can't swallow this breath, but what are the consequences.

After separating from Ono, Han Yi rushed directly to Fengfei Tower.

"Brother Han, I really didn't expect to come so soon."

When Liu E saw Han Yi, she was pleasantly surprised, because Han Yi said that she would come over as long as she thought of a way, but she didn't expect Han Yi to come so soon.

It's only been a few days, and Liu E's face has recovered a lot, at least it's no longer as pale as a few days ago, and it's a little more watery.

Han Yi didn't show too much, and said with a smile: "It seems that the matter I handed over to you has been resolved." ”

Liu E was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly stretched out her hand and said, "Brother Han, please take a seat." ”

As he spoke, he invited Han Yi to a private seat on the second floor, which was much more polite than the last time.

After pouring a cup of tea for Han Yi, Liu E smiled and said: "Brother Han is really like a god, I do have someone who secretly took refuge in Huayue Tower." ”

Han Yi asked, "Then how did you solve it?" ”

Liu E sighed lightly: "She was also taken advantage of, so I didn't embarrass her too much, I just told her to leave, and now she has gone to Huayue Tower." ”

Han Yi nodded, he was quite satisfied with Liu E's approach, in fact, most of the women who fell here were poor people, and everyone had the same disease. Why bother with each other, and I don't plan to go into details. Suddenly asked, "By the way, do you know Cui Jiji?" ”

The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is a hundred battles. Although Han Yi was very angry now, he still tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, he had to figure out the person Cui Jijian first.

And he doesn't know many people in Yangzhou, and he knows that Cui Ji's blade is even smaller, and Yang Menghao is one. But that kid's bragging is the same as farting, it is a natural phenomenon of the body, and it is naturally not credible, Wang Xuandao and Cui Jijian seem to have a good relationship, of course, it is inconvenient to ask, so this Liu E is left, Liu E was born in a palace prostitute, and later opened a green building, and must know about the princelings, because the princelings are the main force of consumption here.

Liu E was stunned. said: "Of course Cui Gongzi knows, it is estimated that there is no one in Chang'an City who does not know him, why do you ask this?" ”

Han Yi smiled: "I'll explain this to you later." He asked again: "So, this Cui Ji blade is very powerful?" ”

Liu E said: "Of course it's amazing. He muttered to himself in his heart, could it be that he had a way to ask Cui Jijian to help? If that's the case, then Feng Feilou is not afraid of Huayue Tower.

Thinking of this, she was looking forward to it, but at the same time, she was very curious, because with the Cui family's style, it was unlikely that she would interfere in the affairs of Fengyue Place.

Han Yi said: "It's him who is personally powerful. Or is the Cui family powerful? ”

"Cui Gongzi himself is very capable, but the Cui family is even more powerful."

Liu E said truthfully, and then asked, "Brother Han, have you ever heard of the seven sons of Chang'an?" ”

Han Yi nodded and said, "I've heard a little." ”

Liu E said: "Actually, the seven sons of Chang'an don't like others to mention this title. But it's just the two of us, so I'll tell you straight. Although the seven sons of Chang'an are all nobles and children of scholars, the seven of them each have different abilities from ordinary people, but their personalities are very quirky, so they are very special, and the Cui Jijian you mentioned is the head of the seven sons of Chang'an. He is also the first to be famous, because he won the championship at the age of twelve. ”

"Can you take the imperial examination at the age of twelve?" Han Yi exclaimed.

"Ordinary people naturally can't, but Cui Gongzi has been called a genius since he was a child, and legend has it that he has the ability to never forget, I remember that when Emperor Taizong was still in power, Emperor Taizong was also very curious, so he made an exception to allow him to participate in the imperial examination, but who knows, Cui Gongzi won the top prize in one fell swoop."

Speaking of this, Liu E sighed slightly and said, "But Cui Gongzi's heart is too arrogant, it is said that when he entered the temple to meet the saint, he almost lost his head. ”

Han Yi said: "What is this for?" ”

Liu E said: "This matter has to start from sixteen years ago, when Emperor Taizong ordered the ministers to write the "Clan Chronicles", after the first time it was written, the Qinghe Cui family was ranked first, but Emperor Taizong was greatly dissatisfied, so he asked the ministers to rank the Li family in Longxi, where Emperor Taizong was located, in the first place, and the relatives family ranked second, and demoted the Qinghe Cui family to a third-class family.

But as soon as this incident came out, it immediately caused great dissatisfaction among the scholars, in fact, the four major families of Cui, Lu, Zheng, and Wang refused to admit this "Clan Chronicles".

Cui Gongzi as the eldest grandson of the Cui family, naturally also deeply dissatisfied with this, he participated in the imperial examination, in fact, just for their Cui family to fight for a breath, it is said that when he was in the temple, Emperor Taizong originally liked him very much, and wanted to reward him, but he refused a word, and said that he would never be an official in this life, and in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military accused Emperor Taizong of using the public for personal gain, ranking the Li family in Longxi first.

Emperor Taizong was disgraced, and he issued a killing order at that time and sent Cui Gongzi to prison.

However, later, because the ministers of the house interceded for Cui Gongzi, Emperor Taizong also read that he was still young and was imprisoned for three months, so he let him out, and at the same time issued an edict to revoke Cui Gongzi's title of champion, and Cui Gongzi was never allowed to enter the court as an official, and no hereditary title was allowed. It wasn't until the current emperor ascended the throne that Cui Gongzi was allowed to enter the court as an official, but Cui Gongzi never entered the court as an official. ”

So awesome?

Han Yi didn't understand the situation at all, because he was deeply poisoned by Qing court dramas, thinking that the emperor was the best, whoever dared to hang the emperor like this would definitely die, but he didn't expect that Li Shimin not only didn't behead Cui Jijian all over the house, but also gave Cui Jijian a way to live, but after a little consideration, Han Yi also understood, it is estimated that Li Shimin is still afraid of the power of these big families, and feels that there is no need for a child. Tear your face with these big families.

"What about Wang Xuandao?"

Han Yi asked again, he really didn't believe that all the princelings were so good.

Liu E said: "Wang Gongzi is already an internal official of the Taishi Bureau, as long as he is willing, he can enter the Taishi Bureau at any time." But I don't know why, Wang Gongzi has not entered the court as an official for a long time, and has been staying at home. ”

This Taishi Bureau is also the Qin Tianjian.

Isn't it, a predetermined candidate? Han Yi was a little speechless, and wondered: "Then aren't they in Chang'an covering the sky with one hand." ”

"Not really."

Liu E shook her head. Suddenly said in a low voice: "In fact, the first person in the dynasty has always looked at them as unpleasant to the eyes of these big families in Shandong. ”

"You're talking about the eldest grandson Wuji?"

Han Yi was surprised. This is not what he learned from history books, but what Yang Feixue told him that today's eldest grandson Wuji is the one who covers the sky.

Liu E nodded.

Han Yi said: "Why? ”

Liu E said: "Why else is this, the two factions are not compatible, the eldest grandson family is a Guanzhong noble, and the Cui family is a Shandong scholar clan, there has always been a fight, and the eldest grandson servant is the most trusted courtier of Emperor Taizong, and the second place in the "Clan Chronicles" is the eldest grandson clan, which also attracted the humiliation and opposition of these scholars at that time. Can the eldest grandson not hate these scholars, and besides, the scholars in Shandong even look down on the emperor, and they don't even allow their own children to marry with the royal family, let alone the eldest grandson. ”

Han Yi was shocked when he heard this: "This is too impossible." ”

Liu E said: "This is true, even the people know that later Emperor Taizong did not allow the children of the royal family to intermarry with each other, even relatives and ministers, and Emperor Taizong ordered someone to write the "Clan Chronicles", that is, to prevent these scholars from buying and selling marriages. ”

"Buying and selling marriages?" Han Yi said curiously.

"Don't you know?"

Han Yi shook his head.

Liu E immediately explained to Han Yi.

There is a way. The hostage of Shandong, so he is still married; Jiangzuo's humanities, so Shang characters; The people in the guanzhong are male, so they are still crowned; Daibei's people's martial arts. Therefore, there are still noble relatives.

The Cui family, the Lu family, the Wang family, and the Zheng family all belong to the Shandong Shi clan, which is a large group, and they attach great importance to family marriage, and the first precept of their family is that they must not intermarry with lowly people, and it is not okay to be a little shabby. Because they want to ensure their noble blood.

And Li Shimin's family is a mixed-race family, not a pure-blooded Han Chinese, with Xianbei blood, in fact, the Li family only later recognized Laozi Li Er as an ancestor, whether it is the Longxi Li family, not necessarily, at least the Shandong Shi clan thinks they are not.

So in the eyes of the Shandong Shi clan, this Li family used to be just a "down-and-out household", not a big family, no background, even if you become the emperor, your bloodline is still lowly, so I don't intermarry with your Li family, in short, I look down on Li Shimin, and I haven't hidden it, everyone knows it.

Li Shimin's face was swollen, this is okay, my emperor's princess and prince dare to dislike it, this matter can't stop here, so Li Shimin also decreed, starting from the emperor and me, you relatives and officials are not allowed to marry the Cui family and the Lu family, but it is useless, the union will still be linked, and it can't be stopped at all.

Fang Xuanling is his cronies and his best friends, but it turned out to be the same marriage with these big families, Fang Xuanling's famous wife Lu is the daughter of Fanyang Lu's family.

If the Lu family is just a folk woman, where would she dare not allow Fang Xuanling to take a concubine, and even contradict Tang Taizong for this matter, if Fang Xuanling wants to take a concubine, I will die, this is not to say that the Lu family is not a good wife, the Lu family is definitely a good wife, but if there is no background at all, I am afraid that the word "jealousy" will not appear.

In addition to Fang Xuanling, there are also Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui and others, these people are all Li Shimin's descendants, they are all in disobedience, not to mention other people, of course, they can marry these big families because their official positions are big enough, so they can learn.

Because these scholars suffered a lot of impact when they changed the dynasty, and they also lost a lot of property, so if you want to marry these big families, not only must you have good character, knowledge, high official position, correct blood, and poor background, but also have to pay them a lot of money, which is a lot of money, which is called selling marriage and buying marriage.

And because this was an era of aristocratic rule, it was the aristocracy and the emperor who ruled the world together.

The common people were very respectful of the aristocracy.

Sometimes the words of the nobles are better than the words of the emperor.

The simplest point is that these scriptures are in their hands, and most of the scriptures in the world are controlled by these scholars, just like martial arts cheats, which are not allowed to be leaked, and it is very difficult for ordinary people to want to read. You can rely on illiteracy to fight a war, but you have to rely on scholars to govern the country, so most of the courtiers in the court are members of their families.

Although the Sui Dynasty pioneered the imperial examination, at present, it is not very useful, because it is the children of these big families who are good at studying, because they have a unique educational advantage, and it is difficult for ordinary people to beat them unless they are geniuses.

Why is Cui Jijian so good, it is nothing more than that your emperor does not use our people, and you have no one to use, because all the people who participated in the imperial examination are our people, and we are not suitable for this official, and no one can be a person.

You look at the champion of the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty, ten of them are all children of big families, and there are always traces to follow, even if the vast majority of the prime ministers are from their families, each big family has seven or eight prime ministers, and later Wu Zetian killed a large number of people, but in the end he had to use people from their family.

Even if the prime minister is not one of theirs, he can become a member of their family through marriage.

Because Wei Zheng is from a poor family, although he has a big official position, he has no reputation, so they must use the fame of these big families to consolidate their position, and these big families also need to rely on them to improve their power, after all, their power must have been hit a lot by changing dynasties.

Many big officials are proud to marry the daughters of these big families, and they always feel that it is a big regret in life if they can't marry, even if they have become prime ministers, they have formed such an atmosphere.

This kind of marriage, which is bred by selling marriages and buying marriages, has formed an intricate force, which is really constantly cut and disordered.

As the emperor, I definitely don't want to see this situation, the entire court is monopolized by you scholars and nobles, then I, the emperor, are not controlled by you in everything, so Li Shimin has been preventing them from marrying, but none of them have a bird Li Shimin, there are policies and countermeasures, I don't come clearly, I come secretly, we don't have weddings, we marry secretly, we marry secretly, and the objects are all important ministers in the court, what can you do with me.

Li Shimin is also helpless in this regard, it is impossible to eradicate them with a shovel, you kill Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng, then who will help you govern the country, so Li Shimin can only endure it, because he still has to rely on the power of these big families to help him govern the country.

In fact, the emperor before the Tang Dynasty, who may be the first emperor of the ages, Qin Shi Huang, was able to turn his hands into clouds and rain with his hands, and command the world, and dare not disobey, even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was also restrained by these big families. Since the Song Dynasty, the emperor has been much more comfortable, but in the Song and Ming dynasties, the emperor was always bullied by outsiders.
