"Gong Cui, if we continue to make trouble every day, will we be forced to be anxious in the court, and then we will be stabbed?" In a private room in the backyard of the South Building of Chang'an Zheng, a middle-aged man in his thirties and forties said to the old man with a white beard in front of him with a worried face.

"Fu'an, don't think that someone has become an emperor, this world is his, you must know that our family has been inherited for hundreds of years, and it has already dissolved its influence into all corners of this world, so at least half of this world belongs to our families, as long as we join forces, even the emperor will not dare to take us!" I saw that the white-haired old man who was sitting upright was the old god, and after speaking, he took a sip of tea gently, and the expression on his face was also very relaxed, as if he was talking about a very ordinary thing.

If there is someone in the court here, I am afraid that he will be recognized as an old man at a glance, because the wind and rain in the court during this time is also because of him, this person is Cui Mingan, who was ranked first in the previous clan chronicles, because he avoided Li Shimin's secret, so he is also known as Cui Gan, although he is only a four-grade Huangmen squire on the surface, but in fact he is one of the most core figures in the Boling Cui clan.

Cui Gan was born in a very prominent place, the Northern Wei Dynasty Che Cavalry General, Zuo Guanglu Doctor, Yitong Sansi, and Cui Xiaofen, the secretary of the Ministry of Shangshu, is his great-grandfather, his grandfather is the Sui Dynasty General, Ji County Ming Gong Cui Xuanyou, his father Cui Shuzhong was also named Yu Bu Shilang, Gu'an County Gong, and Cui Gan himself is also very talented, since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, he has been serving in the three provinces, and now he is a Huangmen squire, only one level lower than the real prime minister, in fact, if it were not for Li Shimin's intention to suppress the influence of the family, with Cui Gan's ability, he should have been crowned a long time ago.

With his illustrious background and extraordinary talents, even in the family, few people can compare to Cui Gan, so when Gao Shilian and others compiled the clan chronicles, Cui Gan was listed as the first class, and even the royal family and relatives were listed after him, which shows the influence of this person.

However, later Li Shimin listed Cui Gan as the third class with imperial power, and the royal family and relatives were the first and second class respectively, which made Cui Gan also very annoyed, and this was not only Cui Gan's business, but also Li Shimin's suppression and contempt for the family, so this led to the family uniting to fight back against Li Shimin, and until now the court is still arguing.

Although Cui Gan stayed out of the matter on the surface, and never even participated in the quarrels in the court, those who knew the inside story knew that Cui Gan was actually a representative of several major families, such as in the room where he is now, in addition to him, there are two other middle-aged people, the middle-aged man who spoke just now is named Cui Fu'an, this person is from the Qinghe Cui family, because Boling and Qinghe Cui's family are originally a family, and Cui Fu'an is still his junior.

"Cui Gong's words are very reasonable, this world is the royal family and our family sit together, even if it is the emperor, he will not want to move us!" At this moment, I saw that the middle-aged man with a long beard sitting opposite Cui Fu'an also spoke, but when he said this, he said again after a slight groan, "But we can't be too careless, after all, the emperor has the military power in his hands, if he is really forced to use force, it will be us who will suffer at that time!" ”

I saw that this middle-aged man with a long beard was of medium stature and ordinary appearance, but his bearing was very calm, especially a pair of eyes were extremely bright, and he was the kind of extremely shrewd character at first glance. This person's name is Zheng Zhong, and he was born in the Zheng family of Xingyang.

It is worth mentioning that Li Jiancheng's wife Zheng Guanyin, it is this Zheng Zhong's pro-party building, he is still Li Chengdao's cousin, when Li Jiancheng was alive, Xingyang Zheng had a close relationship with the East Palace, but unfortunately Li Jiancheng died, Xingyang Zheng's investment over the years was all lost, although they were also very annoyed, and even used some means to redeem it, but it had no effect, but was later suppressed by Li Shimin in many ways, which made them very angry, fortunately they had a deep enough foundation, In recent years, it has also recovered again.

"If it was when our majesty first ascended the throne, I might still have this kind of worry, but now that he has been on the throne for nearly ten years, he has spent countless efforts for this world, which has made the world become the current situation, and our family is even more integrated with the whole world, if he really dares to use force, it is equivalent to cutting himself himself, even if he really has this determination, I am afraid that in the end he can only end up in a situation of chaos in the world, so I bet that he will not dare to use force at all, Because he is reluctant to break the peace situation that he has won so hard! Cui Gan is worthy of being a scheming man, and he hit the nail on the head of Li Shimin at once.

"Listening to Cui Gong's words, it also made the younger generation suddenly open!" Cui Fuan couldn't help but slap his hands and laugh when he heard this, he and Zheng Zhong had such worries before, but now when they heard Cui Gan's analysis, they immediately dispelled their worries, and at the same time, they couldn't help but admire Cui Gan for being really old-fashioned, no wonder he was able to sit in his current position.

"But even if Your Majesty doesn't dare to use force, but now that he is constantly demoting officials from the family out of Chang'an, there are several people in our Zheng family, and looking at Your Majesty's intentions, it seems that he doesn't plan to stop there, and it seems useless for us to just quarrel in the court?" Zheng Zhong frowned again at this time and said.

"Hahaha~, Xingmou you have to take a long-term view, more than half of the officials in the court are related to us, I don't believe that Your Majesty dares to demote them all out of Beijing, and the imperial examination is the channel for us to send officials to the court, he demotes one, and we will be able to train ten in a few years, and even if it is an official who is demoted out of Beijing, as long as we move in the future, it is easy to transfer people back, unless Your Majesty demolishes all the civil and military officials, and he governs the world alone!" Cui Gan laughed and said again, with a different kind of arrogance in his laughter, of course, the most important thing is that he has this confidence.

Xingmou is Zheng Zhong's word, after hearing Cui Gan's analysis, he also showed a sudden expression, sometimes he is really unconvinced, Zheng Zhong's long-term vision is indeed not comparable to these people, the so-called regardless of the gains and losses of a city and a place, it is estimated that Zheng Zhong is talking about.

But as soon as Cui Gan's words fell, he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps outside, and then a steward next to Cui Gan walked in quickly, and then whispered a few words in Cui Gan's ear, and at the same time put a book in front of Cui Gan, as a result, Zheng Zhong and Cui Fu'an next to him saw the three big words "Clan Chronicles" on the cover of the book at a glance.
