Chapter 21: The Legacy of the Fall of the Hairpin (1)

.“ Zheng Qing, please get up. Li Wei said.

Uncle Zheng Lian is not famous, Li Wei still has to shout, this is the essence of a famous family.

Let a few people sit down, there is Uncle Zheng Lian here, and it is not easy to inquire about the beast life by the river of the envoy of the country. The waiter moved the table and put the wine and food on it, and Li Wei said: "It's just meal time, Zheng Qing might as well sit down with a face." ”

"Your Majesty is too modest, how dare the minister."

Respect and love each other. But Li Wei couldn't cry or laugh, no matter what he said, he was still an emperor.

Uncle Zheng Lian seemed to see through Li Wei's thoughts, took the initiative to stand up, and said, "A cup to your majesty." As he spoke, he bent down, his glass was facing upwards with difficulty, his long sleeves were covered, and he drank it all at once, which was a very humble toast.

Then he said: "The minister's wife is the daughter of the Boling Cui family, and the minister accompanied her back to her mother's house to visit and return, and I just heard that Your Majesty is here, and I have admired Your Majesty for a long time, in addition, Shangguan Liangyuan's mother is the cousin of the minister, so the minister came to pay tribute to Your Majesty." ”

Li Wei said in his heart, it's strange to believe you.

Shangguan Wan'er's mother is from the Zheng family in Xingyang, how many children does the Zheng family have?

I didn't know when I came to the Tang Dynasty, but I specially inquired about it, and only five surnames and seven families were not what I thought. For example, the Mengyang Zheng family, not all Mengyang Zheng families are in Mengyang. Not all the people in the world with the surname Zheng are from Xingyang. Mengyang Zheng family is from Zheng Rong, called Zheng Jun, born at that time, Han University Sinong. At that time, six generations of Sun Ji, from Chen Xibianzhou in the late Han Dynasty, were promoted to Mengyang County, and then became a county person. Abandon Sun Xing (Han Taizhong doctor), Xingsheng Zhong (Later Han Dynasty Dasi Nong), all great-grandson Xi, Xi Shengtai, Hun (Wei will be a master craftsman) Tai Sheng, Hun Sheng Chong (Jin Jingzhou Thorn History). Chongsheng Tongsheng Fufeng is too guarded, and Zhao Shizhong slightly gave birth to six sons: Du, Huo, Yuan, Jing, Yue, and Chu.

Through the relationship of these inheritances, although the five surnames and seven families have become tumors, we can also see why the people of the time respect them, not only the pure Han blood, but also the glory of generation after generation. There are only three generations of wealth, and it is not easy to pass on from the Spring and Autumn Period, and the Zheng family has been talented from generation to generation.

Zheng Huo moved to Mengyang, and gave birth to Zhan Shiwen, the prince of Yan. Li Shimin set five surnames and seven families, or Xingyang Zheng Wen in seven surnames and ten families, which refers to this Zheng Wen. Zheng Wen's descendants are the real children of the Zheng family in Xingyang.

Wen Yousheng gave birth to four sons, the eldest son Zheng Tao, as the western ancestor of the Zheng family in Xingyang, who followed the Western Expedition of Emperor Wu of the Northern Wei Dynasty and settled in Longxi, and his descendants scattered in Shaanxi, Gansu, northern Sichuan and other places. The second son, Zheng Ye, was the ancestor of the Northern Fang, and later the Duke of Nanyang and General Jianwei of Wei, who lived in Xingyang (now Guxing Town, Zhengzhou). The third son, Zheng Jian, was the ancestor of the south and settled in Jingxian County (now Jingxiangcheng, Mengyang). The fourth son, Zheng Tian, is the ancestor of the middle house and lives in Dasuo (now Xingyang Old Town).

Among them, the ancestor of the North House is the most prosperous, because Zheng Ye has seven sons, Bai Scale, Xiao Bai, Shu Ye, Dong Lin, Gui Zang, Lian Shan, and Young Scale, so it is also called the North Seven Houses. Due to the chaos of the five Hu China, the dynasties are more non-stop, and Xingyang is a place where the battle must be fought These seven houses are not all in Xingyang, and some have migrated to other places, such as Changfang, which has moved to Baoshan, a small island in Taihu Lake. However, the four rooms of the 2467 are very glorious in the Wei, Jin, Sui and Tang dynasties, which is the representative of the Mengyang Zheng family.

It's not that the other rooms have fallen, but they are not as dazzling as these four rooms, and they are still developing tenaciously, and many talents have been produced one after another. For example, the Zheng family in Taihu Lake not only became a big family after crossing to the south of Xishan in Taihu Lake, but also had several high-ranking officials in the Tang Dynasty.

This is only the Zheng family in Xingyang, if you count the Cui family, the Lu family and the Li family, the vein is even bigger and dazzling, relatively speaking, the Taiyuan Wang family is a little thin, and it is only a match in the five surnames and seven families. It is the skill of these families to produce more talents, but the more talents they have, the greater the resources they occupy, and the five surnames and seven families have evolved to the point where they are now, and even the royal family can be proud!

can't even climb relatives, once climbing, Shangguan Wan'er doesn't know how many uncles have been conjured, not 10,000, there may be 5,000.

Li Wei will not be more serious, Uncle Zheng Lian is the descendant of the most noble second room of the Zheng family in Xingyang, and he does not need to climb this relationship with a good lady. But he said: "Wan'er, don't call your uncle yet." ”

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be."

What do you Zheng family dare not do?

After pretending to talk about his relatives, Uncle Zheng Lian said, "Your Majesty, do you want to go to Xingyang on this trip?" When my father heard that His Majesty was fortunate to be in Henan Province, he had been looking forward to it at home, and he had already swept away the dust and waited for it......"

Henan Province was not later Henan Province, including most of Henan Province, the northern part of Anhui Province, and most of Shandong Province. Li Wei made a circle and did not go to the fringe areas, such as the Junbei region and the Shandong Peninsula region, but he also did not follow the Yellow River. Along the Yellow River, he must pass through Mengyang, not because he is afraid of the Zheng family in Xingyang, which shows that Li Wei has doubts about this top gate valve.

Uncle Zheng Lian's father is old, even if he is not old, as the head of the Zheng family, it is impossible to welcome Huaizhou and do this kind of flattery. So he sent his second son, it's not that the eldest son can't be sent, just look at the appearance of this Zheng Gongchu, and there are other flavors.

Li Wei and Liu Renliang glanced at each other, smiled slightly, and said something when they ascended the throne, these top gate lords couldn't sit still, and this time they came to invite, and it was also the first time they had a positive exchange with the royal family, or a collision.

Uncle Zheng Lian was also looking at the new emperor expectantly.

As a child of a family, he will not look at problems like ordinary people.

Ask the common people, one by one with tears in their eyes, they will say that the emperor is good, benevolent, which emperor will say that the people are the most expensive and the king is the lightest? Not only said, but looked at the line, this time on the trip, Jane pounced to the point of no return, and where she went, she asked for warmth and cold.

But isn't that the case? Not necessarily!

It is very good to the common people, and in history, like this emperor to the common people, the king can be counted without the fingers of one hand. However, this emperor is committed to the inner and outer circles, and since he cut off Helan Minzhi's small ** with a knife, he has always been very strong inside. If you don't believe it, look at what he did in Qinghai, and then look at how the Emperor Taishang inexplicably conceded it.

After ascending the throne, he said something that made his family smell a trace of unease. Not to mention that his several families are constantly in-laws, twisted together, and powerful, after all, the new emperor controls the machinery of the state, and he is better than young and quite effective. Speaking of reputation, the Ziba family has a strict style and is praised by the world. However, the influence of this new emperor among the people is no less than that of his own big families.

So under the pretext of accompanying his wife back to her parents' house, he invited the emperor to Zheng's house in Xingyang. Check it out. Wind.

Not only that, but after a discussion, he brought his own daughter, who is also the most beautiful girl in the family who has not been contracted.

After looking at each other and smiling, Li Wei's eyes swept from Uncle Zheng Lian, and then from this Zheng Gongchu's body, the little girl's face turned red and drooped down. Li Wei was happy again, and said: "Since it was invited by your father, how dare I disobey." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare", Uncle Zheng Lian didn't know whether he was happy or worried. The emperor agreed to come down, but the emperor was worried that the emperor kept using honorifics to his father.

"But what I do is simple, but there is no good hospitality."

"Your Majesty is simple, and the minister has admired him for a long time." Zheng Shulian said again: "Chen Jiuwen His Royal Highness is talented, and it just so happens that the little girl knows a little about music, can you let the little girl play a song for Your Majesty to cheer up the banquet." ”

Although he is very confident in his daughter, this emperor has already refused a joint marriage of five surnames and seven families, so he does not have much confidence in Li Wei. This is for his daughter to show off her talents.

Li Wei looked at Liu Renliang again, it was not easy to show. Five surnames and seven families keep emerging, precisely because of the strict family style, women usually go out no matter how hot the day is...... also wears thick curtains, and even wears thick clothes, like the palace clothes of the Tang Dynasty...... Because of the transparency, several major families forbade their own women to wear them. Not only that, after a woman marries or comes back from marriage, unless there are very special circumstances, even if her husband dies, she must keep the festival and not remarry.

Therefore, people all over the world are flocking to it, wanting to marry with five surnames and seven families, or wanting to marry a woman with five surnames and seven families.

If you don't play, playing in front of so many people is also a promise of change of direction.

Li Wei looked at Liu Renliang, Uncle Zheng Lian looked at Li Wei, not only did he look, but this little lady of the Zheng family was also watching, just looking quietly, her good upbringing made her expression very subtle, she glanced at it quietly, and then immediately lowered her head, and her neck overflowed with powder.

Liu Renliang twisted his beard and nodded again.

Li Wei said: "Just play ......"

Liu Renliang is for his good, but Li Wei doesn't think much about it, even if he is a relative, he may not be able to get the support of the Mengyang Zheng family, on the contrary, he must pay something for the Mengyang Zheng family. Besides, if all the big families had this idea, what would the harem become? Could it be that you are really a stallion?

"Yes." Uncle Zheng Lian was slightly disappointed, but playing was better than not playing. With a wave of his hand, the servant brought the yaoqin and put it on the table, Zheng Gongchu sat upright at the table and played a piece of music.

"Okay", Li Wei clapped his hands.

"Your Majesty's compliment," said the girl.

It's the first time I've spoken. You can also see how rigorous the Zheng family's family style is. The voice is very good, like the first cry of a milk swallow.

"Good is good, little lady Zheng doesn't have to be too humble, Zhuqing, when you hear this good news, should you drink a cup?"

"Whoa."

Uncle Zheng Lian came here just to invite, and to bring his daughter to express such a meaning, how to talk, in the face of the emperor, his weight is still not enough. So he began to eat silently. Before the banquet was over, Li Lingyue and Wei Yue walked in happily with a person.

Li Lingyue said loudly: "This villain let me catch it." ”

Zhang Tingshi showed a wry smile on his face, the emperor was originally making a fuss, and this little princess who had a reputation as a chivalrous woman in Shaolin Temple when she was a child was entangled, and she had a headache. Then he looked at the steward of Wu Chenghe's manor with pitiful eyes.

At first glance, it was even more pitiful, unkempt, and there were some bruises from punches and kicks on his face, and then he looked at Li Yiyan with resentment. Li Yiyan also smiled bitterly, if it was only Liangdi, it would be better, her own words would work, and a little princess would be added to it, it would not only be the pearl of the emperor and the queen mother, but also the pearl of the emperor's palm, and it was only half the size, saying that she understood but didn't understand, said that she didn't understand, and understood some, and was reasonable and unclear, so she had to watch the guards beat this steward with a blue nose and swollen face under the authority of the princess.

Li Wei's expression was unexpected by Zhang Jun's envy dog, his face was full of spring breeze, and he said amiably: "This person is a talent, why do you beat him like this, quickly loosen his ties." ”

The steward didn't take it seriously, and immediately bowed down and said: "The subject Wu Quanzi pays a visit to Your Majesty, a few concubines, two ministers, and several envoys. The subjects did not know about the heavy interest, and all of them were done by their servants. ”

"You are in charge, how can you not know? But I call you here to admire your talents. ”

"Subjects have no talents."

"Good, very good, such talent, not arrogant or impatient, I appreciate it even more. Originally, I was going to allocate 100,000 hooligan money from the treasury to let you save money for the imperial court, but it seems that it is still less, Liu Qing, if the imperial court squeezes it, how much money can be freed up? ”

"Your Majesty, the imperial treasury is tight. But if you want to squeeze it and free up three or four hundred thousand dollars, the impact on the treasury is not very great. ”

"I see, your name is Wu Quanzi, right? The name is very good, I will immediately send a book to the Eastern Capital, free up 400,000 hooligan money from the treasury, let you run it, as long as you return to the imperial court after half a year, one million hooligan money, and another half a year later, you can return another million hooligan money. ”

The three members of the Zheng family didn't know what was going on, and they were dumbfounded when they heard it, 400,000 yuan, and 2 million hooligan money a year. No matter how strong his family is, he doesn't have the ability to do this, or he sells the family property of Zike and Bolingcui's family.

Shangguan Wan'er and the other women just laughed.

Zhang Junxian and a cadre of officials in Huaizhou wiped cold sweat vigorously.

It's a joke, but the credit of the emperor in front of him is still relatively good, and there has never been a joke in his mouth. If you say that you will write a book, then you will inevitably write a book! Not only this Wu Quanzi, I'm afraid even Wu Chenghei is in big trouble this time. (To be continued.)
