Chapter 22 Cui's Strategy - The Family's Disorderly Entry

Zhenguan five years, midsummer. A news that shocked the world came out, and the entire Datang was completely boiling, and all the people who had a heart smelled something unusual from it.

Qinghe Cui's family, the head of the five surnames and seven hopes, and the leading family in the world, came out with an amazing news this summer, that is, the Cui family wants to marry a daughter and a wife. All the children of the Cui family, whether they are direct or side branches, as long as they are at the right age, these young masters and ladies of the Cui family will all go out of the cabinet and marry wives this summer.

If this is the case, it is not a big deal, at most the head of the Cui family has a water in his head, but the objects of these people are getting involved, which is a shocking thing to the world, they are either marrying the young masters of the rest of the families, or marrying the young ladies of the rest of the families, in short, this is a marriage, and it is a super marriage that will include most of the families in the world. These families may have a cold relationship with each other, or even hostile to each other, but now with the link of the Cui family, then the relationship will definitely ease, and then these families will form a super powerful collection of interests, and can even directly confront the imperial court.

Each family had its own private soldiers, who were highly trained and qualified warriors, though they may vary in number, but all of them add up to a huge number. With such an armed force, the alliance of the families will definitely be able to shake the imperial army.

Chang'an City, Li Er, who heard the news, directly smashed the paperweight, pen and wash and other items on the desk in front of the dragon chair. Although he has not yet reached the peak moment, he has cultivated the city government very deeply, but he can be indistinguishable from joy and anger on weekdays. At this time, it was a gaffe. After handing the secret fold to the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling, he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, not only scolded angrily, but also threw things. Such a violent outburst has not been seen since he ascended the throne. It can be seen how deep the anger in Li Er's heart is at this time, he asked himself if he was tolerant of these families to the limit, and the officials from the family in the court accounted for nearly thirty percent. There are also those of their protégés and former officials, these people plus the entire court family control nearly half. These people are not satisfied, and make such a move. Is this to force the palace?

Li Er gasped and stood in front of the dragon chair, the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling didn't dare to make a sound, at this time, this angry dragon didn't give face. Even if the two of them are his most relied on right-hand men.

It's been a long time. Li Er finally calmed down: "Two Aiqing, how do you think this matter should be handled?" These house slaves, do they still have the Tang Dynasty in their hearts? Is there still an emperor like me? Is the royal family still majestic in their eyes? Li Er's voice was as cold as a piece of ice, making the entire Lizheng Hall look like an ice cave.

"This time, this Qinghe Cui clan has indeed done it! With such a large-scale marriage, is this an attempt to integrate the entire family in the world and confront the royal family? If this continues, I'm afraid the world will be torn apart again! Eldest Sun Wuji said after a little silence. He didn't dare to say anything serious, because the current Li Er couldn't stand it. He's like a keg of dynamite at a tipping point, and the slightest spark will blow up. Therefore, the eldest grandson Wuji turned the world into a basin of ice water to cool down Li Er.

"Your Majesty, what do you want to do when you do this? Is it to hide some action, or? Fang Xuanling thought of another level, although the Cui family is the head of the family, it is impossible to really marry so many big families at the same time, because these big families are not monolithic, many of them hate each other, there are entanglements of interests, and there is hatred left by the ancestors, so even if the Qinghe Cui family comes forward, it is impossible to really let these families give up their previous grudges, so as to fight against the court together.

"Your Majesty, in fact, we can also follow suit and marry the daughter of the clan to these families, so that we can contain this move of the Cui family, but doing so is really damaging to the face of the royal family!" The eldest grandson Wuji thought about it and made a last resort, don't you want to use marriage to snar the world's families? Then we will also marry, as the daughter of the royal family, and there is the emperor's marriage, so we must always be a wife, suppress the woman you married, so that you can't really be united.

"Lord Eldest Sun, I'm afraid your method is still up for discussion, do you know that those big families are controlled by some corrupt Confucians, and the situation of the royal family, I'm afraid it ......" Fang Xuanling said aloud on the side, this sentence suddenly made Eldest Sun Wuji's face bright, it is true that these big families are all corrupt Confucians, holding the power of the family, what bloodline do these people pay attention to. As a royal family, the Li family has the blood of the Xianbei clan of Tai, so even if they agree to the marriage because of the face of the royal family, these royal women will not be valued by them, and they will not achieve the established effect at all.

Although there are also some families who don't care very much about the distinction between Hu and Han, just like the Zheng family in Xingyang, the patriarch of this family, Zheng Duo, once traveled incognito to the land of Guanzhong, but he had a love affair with a Xianbei woman, and made a private lifelong agreement, and had the fourth lady of the Zheng family - Zheng Liwan. But this is just an example, and the mother of the fourth lady is not recognized by the Zheng family, although because of Zheng Liwan, this beautiful Xianbei woman also entered the Zheng family's house, but she has no status. If it weren't for her daughter's competitiveness, she would be stronger than most of the third generation of the Zheng family, and I am afraid that she would be bullied by those slaves.

"So, Lord Fang, what do you say you should do?" The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't think of a good way for a while, so he couldn't help but ask.

"There's nothing you can do, this is a conspiracy, it's directly in front of you, but you can't do it!" Fang Xuanling also scratched his head.

"Otherwise, the Holy Decree will summon the young ladies of those families into the palace in the name of the draft, so that they will never be able to contact each other, and those young masters can't let go, let them each choose a prince to serve and be a staff member!" The eldest grandson Wuji tore off several beards on his chin before he came up with such a solution.

"This method is only a symptom but not a cure, you can't summon these school-age girls into the palace every few years, that will damage the emperor's reputation!" Fang Xuanling felt that it was inappropriate, if the emperor drafted every few years, wouldn't he be a greedy and lustful faint monarch? This is absolutely not good for Li Er, because no matter what mistakes Li Er made before and how many shady things he did, no one would make a big fuss about those things, even if they were described in detail according to the truth, they would not be deliberately distorted. After all, for the sake of the throne, no matter how big it is, it doesn't matter. But this draft is different, the emperor's draft girl, although this is a secret related to the lifeblood of the country. But it is most likely to arouse the disgust of the people, a greedy and lustful monarch will definitely not be a virtuous emperor.

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, what the hell is going to do?" Li Er couldn't sit still, he kept pacing in front of the dragon chair, wandering left and right. I can't think of a suitable solution, and even the clear mind that used to be has become blurry now, and this mess of cutting is really sad.

"If all the high-ranking members of these families die, then the world will be pure!" The eldest grandson Wuji rubbed his temples that were a little painful, and he didn't know whether he said such a sentence intentionally or unintentionally.

"Okay, let's think about it first, this matter must be solved in time, otherwise these families will unite together, and the world will be chaotic." Li Er sat down, put his hands on the armrests on the left and right, the armrests were in the shape of a dragon's head, Li Er's hands were placed between the two antler-like horns of the dragon, and his fingers unconsciously poked the two stone beads that were dragon's eyes.

Not to mention the treacherous situation in Chang'an City, countless family officials rushed out of Chang'an City, they were afraid that Li Er would do something to them, after all, they were on the side of the family, which made the Datang country already have begun to have inconvenient turnover, which further aggravated the uneasy atmosphere in Chang'an City. But thousands of miles away in Qinghe, there is a harmonious situation here, and at the top of the Cui family, those old guys who are too old to walk are grinning their mouths that have few teeth, smiling brightly.

"At this moment, the whole world has been stirred, can you, the royal family, still sit still? Without us, your Li Tang is just a joke! The tiger is not powerful, and really treats us as sick cats! Haha......" Cui Jing, the patriarch of the Cui family, said with a loud smile after helping his old father to sit down.

"That is, this time, the royal family will definitely panic, and now we have to take advantage of the fact that the royal family has no energy to notice us, quickly find out that kid and act according to the established plan!" Cui Chang also said that he was the father of the patriarch and the previous head of the family, and no one dared to disobey his words. So the Cui family began to act again. The private soldiers who had been sent to various places were completely scattered, forming an invisible net, searching for the targets they had guessed before.

Li Kuan, the king of Chu, this person, as a great family, will definitely not ignore it, because this guy is definitely a noteworthy person in the royal family, because there is a mysterious school behind him, he is superb, he can also train soldiers, and he can fight, in short, this guy is a person who should not be underestimated, this time I got the news that His Royal Highness the King of Chu traveled with his two maids, without the protection of guards, which was just right for them to do it. After you succeed, as long as you set up the scene, you can hide from the world. Transfer this qiē to the remnants of the previous dynasty and the remnants of the king of Xi. Thus breathed a sigh of relief. Although the royal family will definitely know that it is their own family who did such a thing, but there is no evidence, the royal family will not fall out with their own big family because of a dead person, in this world, interests are always above feelings. This is the experience summed up in the Cui family's inheritance through the ages. (To be continued......)
