Chapter 871: Sky-high dowry
"Hehe, whether it's a prize or not, I know." Li Xin glanced at the crowd with a smile, and finally said to Cui Shuzhong: "I heard that when Cui Mingan was in the Li family, he was trusted by the Li family? ”
"This, Your Majesty, when the Li family controlled Hebei, it had to be like this, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me." Uncle Cui's face changed, and he quickly explained: "Cui Min didn't have a way to do it at the beginning. Mingan, come out to meet Your Majesty. ”
"The minister Cui Minggan greets Your Majesty." Cui Mingan was surprised and happy in his heart, strode out, bowed to the ground, and shouted long live. This is the first time that Li Xin has called someone's name after entering Zhanghe Villa, Cui Mingan suddenly has a feeling of joy falling from the sky, not only he thinks so, even other people think so, everyone looks at Cui Mingan with jealous eyes.
The Lu family and the others were thinking about whether there was a beautiful woman in the family who also presented it to please Li Xin. Ling Jing looked at it clearly, but there was a sneer in his heart. Li Xin is young, and he doesn't know how many good days he will have in the future, so how can he be tempted by beauty to create a prosperous generation of Ling, these guys are probably disappointed.
In fact, it is exactly like this, Uncle Cui's words made Li Xinzhong even more disdainful, and sure enough, it was the face of the family, who had just surrendered to Li Yuan's feet, and the next day he met Li Xin and presented a woman to Li Xin. It shows how rampant and shameless the heart of the family is.
"How old is Mr. Cui?" Li Xin glanced at Cui Mingan and nodded, but looked at Cui Shuzhong with a smile and said.
Uncle Cui was stunned for a moment, not understanding the meaning of Li Xin's words, but quickly said: "The old minister is eighty out of sixty this year!" I'm old, and I'm no longer useful. ”
"It's almost seventy, it's time to recuperate, two days ago, Pei's family sent a letter, Pei Ge's body is also bad, I'm afraid it won't be this spring. I sometimes think that if Pei Ge Lao had let him rest when he was sixty years old, I am afraid that without the pressure of state affairs, he would have lived longer. Li Xin sighed slightly.
Uncle Cui's face changed, but he still said: "What Your Majesty said is very true, Pei Ge Lao is a pillar of the Tang Dynasty and has made great contributions to the imperial court. The old minister was younger than him, but he did not serve the country, and he was very ashamed. ”
"The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and Cui's has many talents. Qinghe Cui has Cui Xiu, Boling Cui, I see that Cui Min is doing a good job, enough to support the Cui family's situation, I am ready to let him be the head of the household, what does the old gentleman think? Li Xin smiled and pointed to Cui Mingan, who was kneeling on the ground.
Cui Mingan was happy in his heart, although he was only a squire official, he was the second-in-command of the household, and he could win the position of Shangshu in the future. Even when he is old, he can still be a university scholar and rank in the position of a cabinet elder.
Uncle Cui's face was cloudy, and Li Xin had already agreed to Na Cui Susu. and gave Cui a certain amount of compensation, so that Cui Min could enter the court as an official and be a squire, but the precondition was that he would retire. The so-called head of Boling Cui's family was also going to be replaced by Cui Mingan, which made him a little angry in his heart, and he was stunned for a while. I don't know how to be good.
After hearing this, the faces of the many families present began to change, Li Xin clearly wanted many families to abandon the old and become the young, some of the old people were gloomy, but the young people were eager to try, looking at Li Xin above with excited eyes, even Cui Mingan himself also had a trace of excitement in his heart, and looked at Cui Shuzhong with expectant eyes.
Uncle Cui's body trembled, I didn't expect things to end like this, Li Xin actually wanted to use Cui Mingan, you can use it if you want to, the key is why do you want him to be the head of the family?
Promised? Then he loses his authority, and if he does not agree? Not only Li Xin will not be satisfied, but Cui Mingan may also be a little dissatisfied in his heart! He looked at Zheng Shanguo on the other side, at this time, he knew what Zheng Shanguo was feeling at this time, probably the same as himself, while he was happy, he was more helpless.
"What Your Majesty said is very reasonable, the old minister is old, it is better to stay at home and rest." Cui Shuzhong finally sighed, in this case, Cui Shuzhong had no better choice but to give way to Cui Mingan.
"The decree added Cui Mingan as the Duke of Anping County, and the right servant of the household department." Li Xinzhong was very happy, nodded, and said to Ling Jing on the side: "Uncle Cui Chong's self-humble attitude should be commended, and the imperial court will reward him with 100 gold coins every year as a reward. ”
"Yes." Ling Jing nodded.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live. Cui Mingan said loudly with a happy expression. Uncle Cui's face turned red, he didn't expect that he would take a step back, and there was such a reward, although the gold coins were only a hundred, but this was also a kind of glory, and others couldn't ask for it. At that moment, he turned over and knelt on the ground, crying with joy.
"Sir, please." Li Xin nodded, a smug look on his face.
The rest of the families are gloomy, at least, the current Li Xin has conquered two families, and they are also the Boling Cui family and the Xingyang Zheng family, these two families are basically half of the five surnames and seven wangs in Shandong, plus one Zhaojun Li family, and half of the five surnames and seven wangs have been lost. Lu's face was even more gloomy, and Gao didn't know what to do for a while.
"Come, drink." Li Xin didn't care, he had already split the two families, looking at the faces of Lu Danghu and the Gao family, he knew that these guys were unhappy, but what could they do if they were unhappy? The Lu clan is still colluding with the Turks and Goguryeo, and it doesn't matter if they do business, but if you sell ironware, salt, and tea, it's not happy. The Gao family is not a good thing, relying on his own thick foundation, a county in Bohai, how much land does your Gao family occupy. Don't you see that Lao Tzu is in need of land now? But I don't know how to give you benefits if I take the initiative to contribute?
Uncle Cui's center of gravity was much more relaxed, however, he knew that all this was temporary at the moment, because the most fundamental thing had not been solved, and Li Xin's big knife would fall at any time, but let him take the initiative to contribute to the land, which was also self-isolating from the Shandong family, after all, they would still have to mix together in the future, he thought for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, Su Su has become an adult, according to reason, the old minister, who is an elder, should also give some gifts as a dowry." The old minister has nothing else, and there are still some thin fields at home, so he is willing to give it to Su Su, and he also asks His Majesty for permission. ”
"Well, that's very good." Li Xin said happily: "Susu, Boss Cui is willing to send you five million hectares of land as a dowry, and he will not give a gift to Boss Cui, thank Boss Cui." ”
"Ahh Cui Susu looked at Cui Shuzhong in surprise, but she didn't know what to do. Five million hectares is the majority of Cui's land, can't it be sent out like this? (To be continued.) )
