In July of the fifth year of Zhenguan, on a dark night, a shocking thing happened in Qinghe County.

On this day, the sky was not yet bright, there was not a trace of light in the sky, and even the starry sky was blocked by the thick clouds in the night sky. With a violent sound, the entire Qinghe County was woken up. Countless people were awakened in their sleep, and this sound like a thunderbolt accompanied by a crackling sound spread throughout the small city. Then it was discovered that it was dawning, no, not dawning, but an indifferent red that illuminated the heavens.

People walked out of their homes and stood on the streets that were still stuffy, looking in the direction where the sky came from, and Cui Mansion again? A thought flashed in everyone's hearts, they all remembered that a few months ago, this Cui Mansion walked through the water once, and it burned half of the sky at that time, this time it was such a loud noise, what happened?

At this moment, there was a noise from the Cui Mansion. I could only hear the sound of gongs, mixed with shouts: "The water is gone!" Walk the water! ”

Hearing this sound, the people standing on the street showed a look of sudden realization, this Cui Mansion actually caught fire twice in a row during this time, isn't it a little. And what's going on with that earth-shattering sound? Although the people have some elements of happiness in their hearts, seeing something happen to the big family that has been working on their heads is also very conducive to physical and mental health. But one by one, in the spirit of helping, they brought their own basins and wooden buckets, and ran towards the big courtyard of the Cui family, they were all like this. No matter what Choi did to them before. They just need to do something for themselves to be worthy of the heart beating in their chests.

The last time there was a fire in Cui's, they went to help but were blocked from the door. Because the location of the last fire was a little sensitive, it was the backyard of the Cui family, where all the female relatives of the family lived, and outsiders were not allowed to enter. So these enthusiastic people were blocked from the Cui family's door, and this time it shouldn't be!

But when they arrived, they were stopped again. Because this time is even more sensitive, this time it is actually on the edge of the ancestral ancestral hall of the Cui family. There was a hut there, but now it was in ruins. If it's just a hut, it's not without a problem. But there were still scattered corpses lying in this hut, which forced them to keep it a secret. And these people are all the people of the Cui family, the main figures of the previous generation, the previous generation and the current generation of the head of the family are among them. The clan elders who were responsible for the daily operation of the Cui clan alone died several times. And the old guys who have been hiding in the shadows. One by one, as if they had been struck by lightning, they were lying on the ground in the dark, and they had already lost their breath. It is a big deal that one of these people died, but now it has been served in a pot, which makes the patriarch of the Cui family, who was not involved in the matter, Cui Baixiang, the cousin of Cui Jing, the current head of the Cui family, feel frightened.

This old Cui family has a goatee. But at this time, the beard under his chin was almost plucked by himself, and he was worried that the folds on his face were squeezed together. Looking at the corpses that were carried out one by one by the subordinates. He could vaguely tell who it was, but it was because he could recognize it that it frightened him even more. These people are all dead, and the Cui family is finished!

Although he was trembling in his heart, he still issued a blockade order on the spot, not allowing the rest of the people to help put out the fire, and not allowing the people involved to leak half a sentence. When he gave this order, he gritted his teeth and said it with tears in his eyes, and he felt his voice tremble at that time, he didn't dare to imagine how much impact the news of these people's deaths would have on the Cui family.

But how can there be an impermeable wall in this world? What he can do now is to block the news, hide it day by day, and then pass the book to the head of the family, Cui Jing, and ask him to come back quickly, as well as those people from the Cui family in the court, let them exert their strength and do their best to let the Cui family survive this difficulty. Otherwise, this thousand-year-old family will be ruined.

As for the guy who dropped the bomb, he was climbing over the courtyard wall at this time. Riding on the wall, the blue robe on his body was stuck on both sides of the wall, but he didn't dare to turn forward, because on that side, a pair of bright eyes were looking at him, and there was a light in disbelief, and a pair of deceptive snow lotus arms were covering his mouth, with ten slender fingers, and pink cardamom on his nails, which looked very eye-catching.

Just when the Cui clan was busy, there was a city hundreds of miles away from Qinghe County - Zhengzhou, which is a big city on the edge of the Yellow River, this city has a long history, it was the capital of the early to mid-Shang Dynasty, and it is also the birthplace of the Yin Shang civilization. The city was also an important town on the Yellow River during the Tang Dynasty. It is a buffer zone between the Tang Dynasty and the family. Most of the chassis where the families were entrenched were in the area east of this, and the Tang Dynasty and the Li family's rule were mostly in the west of the city. Except for the Wang family entrenched in Taiyuan, most of the other families did not reach out to the city.

At this time, Zhengzhou City was also in the dark, but a gorgeous mansion in the city, the Thorn History Mansion in Zhengzhou City, was still brightly lit. Because that night, something was being secretly negotiated here. This matter can be said to be the first consultation between the family and the royal family since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, and it is also the effect of the actions of the Cui family.

At this time, in the main hall of the Assassin's Mansion, Yue Qianchou of Zhengzhou Assassin Shi was accompanied, and this time the big people came from both sides of the consultation, and he, the largest official in Zhengzhou, was the largest official on the one acre and three points of land in Zhengzhou, but he became a small shrimp who laughed. He couldn't afford to mess with anyone on either side. As the host, he sat on the throne. On his left-hand side, there was a person from the national capital Chang'an, who came on behalf of the royal family, and saw that he was dressed in a purple robe, with gray hair, and the hair on his head was combed very neatly, and he was skimmed by a carved hairpin. He also wore a jacket on it. It's like a headscarf, but with two more feet at the back of the head, lying on the back of the head.

At the height of this feudal dynasty. Dressing up is also a big deal, so you can't afford to be a little sloppy. If it's a bad cuò, I'm afraid it will be a bad end. Moreover, during this period, due to the influence of Hu and Han fusion, many costumes had different meanings. Moreover, Li Er's father Li Yuan promulgated a new law in the seventh year of Wude (624 AD), which is the famous "Wude Order", which includes the law of clothing, including the fourteenth dress of the Son of Heaven, the third dress of the queen, the sixth dress of the crown prince, the third dress of the crown princess, the twenty-two clothes of the ministers, and the six clothes of the wife.

So many ordinances of service. The civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, all kinds of royal people, etc., were all limited to it, after Li Er ascended the throne. But he didn't change these rules, but only stipulated that officials above the third rank wore purple robes, and fourth-grade and fifth-grade officials wore scarlet robes, etc., because his father was still alive. As for what style of jade belt to tie around the waist. What style should be used for the ornaments on the jade belt. What kind of material these are not stipulated yet, and this will not be until Li Er has almost calmed down the Quartet, and these new rules will be introduced. Just like the company at work, when the boss is busy with business, who cares what kind of ornaments you put on your desk, whether it is suitable or not, it is just tossing and playing without work.

Therefore, this visitor from Chang'an must be a member of the third grade or above. Such people are all figures in the court. And this time it was a negotiation with the Maison. Therefore, if you have a family background, you will definitely not be appointed by Li Er to do this. Then there are few suitable candidates.

And on the right hand side of Yue Qianchou, there is a guy dressed as a scribe, with a high crown and long hair, red phoenix eyes, and silkworm eyebrows. It's almost like a heavy jujube, and if your face turns red again, it's a Guan Gong who is alive. Dressed in a soapy white scribe's robe, with wide robes and large sleeves, in this summer night, it is also unique. This is the patriarch of the Cui family, Cui Jing. This person who controls the first family of the Tang Dynasty is like a scholar who reads more than a family master, and his bookish atmosphere looks very gentle.

"Haha...... Lord Changsun, since you are here, it is only a few hundred miles away from my Cui family, compared to Chang'an, which is thousands of miles away, Cui is also a host, so I will give you a drink here! Cui Jing gently picked up the wine glass with one hand, and dragged the hem of the sleeves with the other hand, this wide robe and big sleeves are a little unpleasant, but it is undeniable that it is this big sleeve fluttering that has the Wei and Jin style.

"Master Cui laughed! This Tang Dynasty is all owned by His Majesty, so we are not any hosts! Here, the official represents the royal family, and he can be regarded as half of the master, and if he wants to toast, it is also the official who respects Master Cui! The person on the other side laughed, raised his glass and said.

"Cui lost his words! Admit punishment and accept punishment ......" Cui Jing smiled and accompanied his face, this first confrontation gave the smiling fox on the opposite side the eldest grandson Wuji the upper hand. But Cui Jing is not in vain: "My lord is here to attend the wedding of my nephew and the pearl of the Zheng family this time?" Taking advantage of the fact that his brother's son was about to marry the third lady of the Zheng family in Xingyang recently, Cui Jing replied tepidly.

"This, I didn't hear about it when I came, congratulations! With the support of the Zheng clan in Xingyang, your Cui clan is even more prosperous! Eldest Sun Wuji's face changed slightly, but he still congratulated with a smile.

"That is, this world is the world of His Majesty, and it is also our world! We're the ones who help His Majesty rule the world, aren't we? Cui Jing continued.

"Lord Cui's words are extremely true! We are His Majesty's courtiers, and we should share our worries for Your Majesty! Eldest Sun Wuji echoed, although Cui Jing's words seemed to be soft, but Eldest Sun Wuji always felt that it was not so simple.

"That's true, my brother, is worrying about His Majesty! As for me, the people of the mountains and the wild are used to idle clouds and wild cranes, and now I am white, but I am also at ease! Cui Jing smiled and took a bite of the side dish.

On the side, Zhengzhou Thorn Shi Yue Qianchou carried a white porcelain wine jug and helped the two of them pour wine. Listening to these words, there was a chill in his heart, and the sharpness between the lines of these two people's words made him feel that goosebumps were rising on his body. 'Looks like I'm still too tender!' The Lord Thorn said to himself. (To be continued......)
