Chapter 99: Prepare for the Amplification Move
Now Cui Jian knows why Cui Xu and Cui Hao are planted in Li Zhi's hands, Cui Jian still understands the personalities of these two people, the two of them are mediocre, but they are full of arrogance, if they are deliberately stimulated by the sharp-toothed Li Zhi, it is logical to give birth to a murderous heart.
It's just that the children of those big families want to know who they are, whose children, and who their father is when they go out, but Li Zhi deliberately hides his identity, the purpose is to let those who think they are great take the initiative to jump into the trap he dug.
In the middle of the living room were two unpainted chairs, and in the middle of the chairs was a table that had been in use for a long time, and the edges and corners of the table were almost smoothed.
Li Zhi helped Cui Jian to sit on the chair on the left, but he moved another chair to his hand and faced Cui Jian sideways.
Such a simple action, but it made Cui Jian's face show a look of approval and said: "I can't imagine that the Nine Emperor Princes know how to be so polite at such a young age, it's really terrifying." ”
A servant brought two cups of tea, and then consciously withdrew from the hall, closing the door of the hall.
"Your Highness, please have tea."
Li Zhi smiled: "Old man, please first." ”
Both of them began to drink tea quietly, and neither of them spoke again.
Li Zhi, who was left aside by Cui Jian, was secretly amused in his heart, this old man was actually more patient than himself.
In his previous life, he could sit for several years when he cultivated, and I am afraid that no one in Datang could compare with him except for those who cultivated.
Li Zhi looked at Cui Jian with a smile on his face, and occasionally took a sip of tea gently.
A quarter of an hour.
Two quarters of an hour.
Three quarters of an hour.
Three quarters of an hour passed, and Li Zhi still had the same expression, and his face did not show the slightest impatience.
Cui Jian smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect His Highness to be more like an old man than me." ”
Li Zhi said: "The kid is just sitting here waiting to listen to the old man's teachings, how dare he get an axe in front of the old man, wouldn't it be ridiculous and generous." ”
It's time to say some things openly, Cui Jian glanced at Li Zhi deeply, and suddenly asked, "Your Highness, do you know how many years my Qinghe Cui clan has existed?" ”
Since the old man wanted to find someone to talk to, Li Zhi naturally wouldn't reveal his profound knowledge of history, he shook his head and said, "This kid doesn't know, I hope the old man will teach me." ”
"My Qinghe Cui clan was one of the ministers of Qi in the Spring and Autumn Period, lived in Qinghe County in the Western Han Dynasty, and became a Shandong Wang clan after the Eastern Han Dynasty. The ancestors of my Cui family were all dignitaries at that time, and in the previous dynasty, they were called the seven sects and five surnames together with the Boling Cui family, the Longxi Li family, the Zhaojun Li family, the Fanyang Lu family, the Xingyang Zheng family, and the Taiyuan Wang family. During this period, more than a dozen dynasties have passed, and these dynasties have all died out, but my Qinghe Cui clan still exists well. ”
Cui Jian's meaning is very clear, that is, our Cui clan is still prosperous after so many dynasties, if my Cui clan is so easy to deceive, how can it exist until now.
The pride in their Qinghe Cui clan's hearts naturally has a reason for their existence, but it is because the ruling class needs their existence because the ruling class needs their existence, otherwise if a state apparatus is determined to directly give them a hard job, even if these families are deep-rooted, they will be completely wiped out under the all-round blow.
According to the records of the historical books, in the later Tang Dynasty, the system of imperial examinations gradually replaced the "Nine Grades Zhongzheng System", and the family gradually lost the protection of the imperial power, and at the same time, with the division and war of the Later Tang Dynasty, especially under the blow of the Huangchao Uprising, the entire social system formed since the Wei and Jin dynasties was fragmented, so the power of the Qinghe Cui clan and other scholars basically disappeared.
The facts show that no matter how tenacious the vitality of the family, in the face of violent destruction, it is no different from a soft and weak girl.
Li Zhi decided to wake up Cui Jian, a proud old man, and he asked, "Almost all of your ancestors of the Cui clan have been in the ranks, I don't know why they made such a choice?" ”
Cui Jian said without thinking: "That is naturally to make my Cui family continue to prosper." ”
Li Zhi followed his words and said: "Then if none of the people of the Qinghe Cui clan have ever been officials, then the Qinghe Cui clan will definitely not have the current reputation, and even the world will not know what the Qinghe Cui clan is." The descendants of those prominent merchants in the past dynasties will completely decline in only two or three generations, and that is also because their family members are not recognized by the imperial court and have no qualifications to enter the office. ”
"It can be seen that if a family wants to prosper for a long time, it can only thrive if it works closely with the royal family."
Cui Jian only thought that the royal family was going to do something to them Qinghe Cui's family, and what he said just now was to let Li Zhi know that their Qinghe Cui's tree has deep roots and is not easy to deal with.
Li Zhi directly pointed out to himself that the Qinghe Cui clan can have today is the product of the support of the royal families of various dynasties, and if it is isolated from the royal family, it is the way to take trouble.
Gentle reasoning made Li Zhi feel very uncomfortable, and he still liked a simple and rough way.
So as soon as the words changed, Li Zhi suddenly revealed a momentum as sharp as a sword, and said domineeringly: "If you want to eliminate the Qinghe Cui clan, it is enough for me alone, how can I use my father to do it." ”
The momentum on his body was so terrifying that Cui Jian, who was used to seeing strong winds and waves, was shocked into a cold sweat, and even his body couldn't move.
As soon as Li Zhi's momentum was retracted, Cui Jian slumped on the chair.
After giving him some time to recover, Li Zhi got up and said, "The old man will go to the courtyard with the boy, and the boy will let you see my methods." ”
Cui Jian couldn't understand how he had become an overlord in the world when he was still gentle and elegant just now.
"This kid isn't bluffing me, is he?"
Cui Jian asked himself what kind of means he should have seen, so he was skeptical of Li Zhi's words, if it was Li Er's words, he would definitely not doubt it.
However, when he saw that Li Zhi had already gotten up and walked towards the courtyard, Cui Jian still went out with him, he wanted to see what kind of tricks Li Zhi could play.
For the entertainment base that Li Zhi tossed out in Shangdang City, only Cui Sheng and his daughter knew about the people of the Cui family, so Cui Jian was destined to have a cup.
I saw Li Zhi's feet slowly rising from the ground, which had exceeded the height of the house, and he shouted: "Come out, the divine soldiers have descended from the sky." ”
