"It's nothing, I occasionally see Cui Shangshu a few times on weekdays, and he always smiles and looks gentle and polite. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info is completely different from their family's subordinates, and it is estimated that Cui Shangshu is too benevolent, so that they are not punished for their casual dog fights outside. Ah San's voice was also lowered, after all, a servant said that it was really not good to be a court scholar.

"Okay, shut up, is that what you can say?" Helan Minzhi casually criticized two sentences. The master and servant chatted casually about this matter.

Cui Shangshu of the Ministry of War mentioned by Helan Minzhi just now is one of the few remaining high-ranking officials with the surname of Shandong in the DPRK today. It is the Cui family among the seven families and five surnames of the Shandong clan today. The Cui family is the family standing at the top of the pyramid on this day. Among the seven families and five surnames in Shandong, there are two Cui families, which are divided into Qinghe Cui family and Boling Cui family. Today's clan history is recognized as a first-class family in the world, and it is regarded as an honor for the royal family to marry them. I don't know how many people in this Manchu Dynasty want to marry a woman from the Cui family as their wife. Everyone in the world takes this as their glory, and ordinary people regard this as their lifelong pursuit.

The Boling Cui family originated in the Qin Dynasty, and the ancestor once served as a doctor in the Qin Dynasty, and then became a nobleman in the Han Dynasty and got the title, which has continued to this day. It can be said that it is older than the history of the Yang family of Hongnong, and it has a deterrent effect. Generations of officials, from the Qin Dynasty to the current Tang Dynasty, I don't know how many years have passed. After the Qin, Han, Three Kingdoms, Jin, Northern and Southern Dynasties, Sui, and several dynasties, they still live in Shandong, unchanged for eternity. Even though it occasionally declines, it never stops.

The history of the Qinghe Cui family also originated in the Qin and Han dynasties, but it was not as prosperous as the Boling Cui family, but it did not rise until the Cao Wei of the Three Kingdoms. The ancestor of the Cui family in Qinghe once made Cao Wei's Shangshu, which has continued to this day, and the same power is extremely huge, not inferior to the Boling Cui family. And today's military department Cui Shangshu is from this Qinghe Cui family.

Someone once had statistics that since the Han Dynasty, the two Cui high-ranking officials have been constantly showing eunuchs. In the Northern and Southern Dynasties alone, there were enough ten people who won the phase. There were twenty-six of them, who received hereditary titles. Of course, the era of the Northern and Southern Dynasties was too chaotic, and the so-called hereditary status could not be taken seriously.

But in the entire Tang Dynasty, there were as many as twenty-seven people who won the phase. There are more than 400 officials above the fifth rank in the government and the opposition, which can be regarded as a momentary grand scene. This is the power of the Cui family, and this is also the strength of the Cui family.

Far away from mentioning it for the time being, just recently a prime minister of the Cui family passed away. It is the father of Cui Yuqing, the current secretary of the Ministry of War, Cui Dunli. This old man has been an official in the Tang Dynasty during the Gaozu period, and he was once very prosperous. After Gaozu, Taizong, and now the three dynasties during the reign of Li Zhi, he can be described as the elder of the three dynasties. Finally, worship the prince and young master, and give the opening ceremony and the three divisions. After his death, Cui Yuqing, who was still in the Dingxiang Governor's Mansion as Sima, was directly promoted by Li Zhi to the secretary of the military department and became one of the powerful people of the dynasty.

When Cui Dunli was alive, he had a very good relationship with Li Zhi, and Li Zhi also trusted this old man, so he was so sad after his death. gave Cui Yuqing such an honor. However, this secretary of the military department is indeed talented, and in the past few years in office, he has managed the military department in an orderly manner, without any omissions. And it is very much in line with Gaozong's wishes, and at the time of the eldest grandson Wuji incident, he resolutely supported all of Gaozong's resolutions. For Wu Zetian, he did not hold opposing opinions like other Shandong clans. It's just that because of his identity, he has never opened his mouth to clearly express his support.

Born in a famous family, there is the strong support of Qinghe Cui's family behind him. He is also the son of an old minister whom Li Zhi trusts very much, he has been in the position of secretary of the military department for several years, he has experience in handling things, and his age is similar to that of Li Yifu.

After all, even if he is an emperor, it is absolutely impossible to snub the Shandong clan for too long. Wouldn't it be right to choose a person from the Shandong clan to come out at this time? There is no fixed number of prime ministers in the court, and now there are only four Li Yifu, Xu Jingzong, Yu Zhining, and Xu Yushi. Li Yifu is under the same Zhongshu sect, Xu Yushi is in charge of Zhongshu Province, Xu Jingzong is in charge of Menxia Province, and Yu Zhining is in charge of Shangshu Province.

But Yu Zhining is old and can't take care of things, and now even the early dynasty is not very involved. Xu Yushi is the same, although he is better than Yu Zhining, but after all, he is about to die. Two of the four prime ministers are too old to serve on the board. Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu are left, but they are all because the queen is on the throne, which is not in line with the emperor's way of balance.

Therefore, Helan Minzhi guessed and guessed, and still felt that the most likely thing for the Shandong clan was to send this military secretary to the position of prime minister and successfully move back to the first game, so that he would not lose so badly. At the same time, take back the benefits you should have, and the emperor will make peace.

But they have no choice, they can't just order the emperor to be appointed as a prime minister for no reason. Since this is the case, you can only go to the left side, and now the biggest influence in the DPRK and China is the queen's party. There are only four core characters, needless to say the queen herself, Xu Jingzong is an old fox, he doesn't calculate that others are already Amitofu, who dares to provoke him without anything. After the case of the eldest grandson Wuji, this old guy has successfully built up his prestige in the court.

Li Yifu, the Shandong clan, didn't pay attention to it, if he wanted to have a background, he wouldn't behave in the world if he got the momentum. It won't take long to take it, but he's the prime minister after all. With a prime minister in exchange for a prime minister, Wu Zetian will not do this business Shandong clan dare not guarantee. And Li Yifu's power is not small now, don't steal the fox and cause a commotion.

Then the last one left is only Helan Minzhi. The Shandong clan is sure that Wu Zetian will definitely keep his nephew, and the sky is pitiful, Helan Minzhi himself has sent such an excellent opportunity, who will he do if he doesn't do it?

Helan Minzhi was also unlucky, and when others wanted to calculate him, he suddenly hit the muzzle of the gun, without the slightest hesitation.

As for why they have been hiding it for so long, I'm afraid it's because of Master Xu, or because Yu Zhining doesn't have a long time to live. Cui Yuqing is still in the prime of life, so it doesn't hurt to wait. Moreover, the position of the secretary of the military department can also get some tangible benefits when Li Zhi leaves Beijing, so he waits.

Helan Minzhi sent Ah Da and Ah Er back to Chang'an to give them a message. Let them know that they already know everything, and if they don't talk to themselves, it may be too late. It is under mutual constraints that it has led to the current state. (To be continued.) )
