Chapter 322: Cui Shenyou's helplessness

Li Rupei had already entered the territory of Lingnan Province to inspect, and Cui Shenyou did not know about it, and he was worried about other things at this time.

The wind of the Tang clan door valve is very prevalent, the five surnames and the four surnames in Guanzhong, are the existence of ordinary people looking up, this situation in the early Tang Dynasty, particularly prominent, to the middle of the Tang Dynasty, the Wang clan gate valve is full of talents, in all levels of government and the imperial court, there are countless people, they have the power, to promote the family or clan more prosperous.

This situation continued until the decline of Datang.

If the famous family can continue, there are also their own reasons, the famous family is very strict about the education of the children, there is no ambiguity, a good family style makes the children of the famous family knowledgeable, with extraordinary ability and charm, despite social turmoil, thieves and thieves everywhere, but these famous families can still be strict with the children of the family, this is a very valuable place.

Famous families were once famous for their reluctance to marry royal princesses, and during the Xuanzong and Xianzong periods, the emperor suffered such embarrassment, of course, there is a reason for this.

First, because of the regulations of the funeral ceremony, generally speaking, after the wife dies of illness, the husband has to mourn for his wife, called Qi decay, ordinary family, the husband mourns for his wife for one year, but if the other party is a princess, he needs to mourn for three years, which is comparable to the first in the five clothes.

The second is the concept of the family, the Tang Dynasty attaches great importance to the family, the family not only has a prominent power, but also has a good family cultural tradition, as well as a family style and enviable marriage relationship, in this regard, although the Li Tang royal family is also one of the famous families, but in terms of cultural traditions. There is still a certain gap with other wang clans, the origin of the Li Tang royal family is Turkic, not the Han nationality, in terms of marriage, and the Han nationality has a very different understanding, the princess can remarry is a major aspect, such as Princess Anding and the princess of Qi married three times, Tang Gaozong accepted his father's talented Wu Meiniang as the queen, and Xuanzong strongly accepted his daughter-in-law Yang Yuhuan as a concubine, which is in the eyes of famous families. It's all a family style of freedom and even debauchery.

Third, there are many princesses who do not cultivate family style, do not practice women's etiquette, there are extravagant and arrogant, there are arbitrary, lewd, jealous, cruel, and this situation is not uncommon, causing a bad or even bad impact on society.

With these reasons, famous families are naturally reluctant to marry princesses.

Qinghe Cui has always been one of the famous families, and it is thanks to the good family style. Let the clan be full of talents.

However, the perception of the famous families is also slowly changing, that is, they all realize that no matter how noble a clan or family is, it cannot be completely independent of power. This lesson was learned thanks to the division of feudal towns after the Anshi Rebellion.

The feudal town doesn't care what famous family you are, whatever can be used by them is a useful family, and it can't be used by them. No matter how famous you are, you will be snubbed and hit.

Under such circumstances, the marriage style of famous families is slowly changing. In addition, since Xianzong, the royal family is weak, and Li Tang's children and princesses are not so arrogant.

However, the famous family still knows one thing, that is, to marry the royal princess as little as possible, but it is still worth showing off that their own girls can marry the children of the royal family.

Li Rupei was canonized as King Fu, above the kings, controlled the entire Southern Dao, and became the great platform of the Southern Dao, and the iron-blooded army under his command was strong and brave, how could the famous family not know its future development, as Li Rupei won the Jiannan Dao, Qianzhong Dao and Lingnan Dao, there are more and more famous families who pay attention to Li Rupei.

What worries other famous families even more is that the Cui family is too dazzling and powerful.

Qinghe Cui's family is not the most prominent among the five surnames and seven wangs, but since Cui Hanlei became Princess Fu, this situation has changed significantly, and Qinghe Cui's family has surpassed all famous families.

Cui Anqian became the special envoy of the Southern Dao Daxingtai, second only to Li Rupei, in charge of all the Jiedu envoys in the south, and can also meddle in the affairs of the Iron and Blood Army, Cui Shenyou became the Lingnan Dao Jiedu envoy, and his status is faint in other Jiedu envoys, Cui Yanchong is one of the top ten generals of the Iron and Blood Army, and what is even more terrible is that Li Chengbo, the son of Princess Cui Hanlei, has become Li Rupei's veritable heir, which also means that the Qinghe Cui clan is about to reach the peak and completely suppress other famous families.

The five surnames of the Tang Dynasty and the famous families of the seven wangs, all of them are in the north, they have experienced the pain of the division of the feudal towns, and know the importance of power, if it is in the era of the Tang Dynasty, they do not care, they can bury their heads in the development of the clan, but now it is not good, without the support of the powerful, without a good environment, the famous families are also facing decline.

Another decision made by the Qinghe Cui clan completely shocked other famous families.

Qinghe Cui's family was originally in Hebei, but because of the instability of the local situation, Cui Shenyou, Cui Yanchong, Cui Anqian and others discussed, and decided to relocate one of the Cui families to Xiangyang, which means that the Cui family headed by Cui Shenyou and others will plan for future development.

It is very cautious for a famous family to make any decision, especially for the matter of relocation, it is even more difficult to make a decision, if Cui Shenyou and others decide to relocate to Xiangyang, there must be an extremely important reason.

A good environment is essential for the development of the family.

In addition, it is the Xingyang Zheng family, also because of the relationship between Zheng Jin, attached to Li Rupei, Zheng Jin's son Zheng Ningji, has become the envoy of the Guizhou Middle Dao Festival, and his grandson Zheng Shaoyu also served as the county commander, and the Enke held in Xiangyang, Zheng Zheng at that time was very important, requiring many children of the clan to participate in Enke, Xingyang Zheng also relied on this Enke, sent a lot of children into the southern government, and became Li Rupei's subordinates.

Fanyang Lu and Taiyuan Wang's family couldn't sit still, they first sent personnel to Xiangyang, Liangzhou, Yangzhou and Suzhou and other places to investigate, and brought back the news that shocked the entire clan, Xiangyang's prosperity and wealth, has surpassed the capital Chang'an and the eastern capital Luoyang, the situation in the south is stable, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and there is a faint scene of great governance.

The two noble families once again sent their children to Chengdu, Zizhou, Guangzhou and other places to investigate, and found that these places were also developing rapidly.

What makes the two major families blush is that the Southern Dao Daxing Taifu attaches great importance to education, and regards courtesy, righteousness, benevolence, wisdom and faith as an important principle of doing things, not only requiring officials to abide by it, but even ordinary people must keep it in mind, which makes the south in a short period of time, the social atmosphere has changed greatly, and the wealth of the people has made the south a holy place in the minds of many people.

In such a situation, the patriarchs of the two major clans couldn't sit still, and they couldn't afford to lose the opportunity before their eyes.

The best way, and the easiest way, is to marry the outstanding girl in the clan to Li Rupei.

Of course, the two major families have also inquired about the situation in King Fu's mansion, and there are many rumors about His Royal Highness King Fu, and there are many rumors in the south, not only that His Royal Highness King Fu's family style is very strict, but also that His Royal Highness King Fu likes to clean his body, except for the lady and the side room in the family, there are no women outside, and even many officials in the south have been affected, and they are very careful about their words and deeds.

His Royal Highness King Fu, there are only four women around him, Cui Hanlei, who is the princess, once specially married a concubine to His Royal Highness King Fu, but was reprimanded by His Royal Highness King Fu, and His Royal Highness King Fu strictly ordered that he was not allowed to take concubines.

This is unique among the children of the Tang royal family, or the princes of the Tang Dynasty.

Such a character is, of course, highly valued by famous families.

The Lu clan of Fanyang and the Wang clan of Taiyuan each sent representatives to Xiangyang and Guangzhou Mansion to contact Cui Shenyou and Cui Anqian, and they wanted to use Cui Anqian and Cui Shenyou to urge His Royal Highness King Fu to change his mind and marry the girl of the Lu family and the Wang family.

Seeing Cui Shenyou is simpler than seeing Cui Anqian, which is not surprising, Cui Anqian has too many things, and recently, because he went out to inspect, he was not in Xiangyang Daxingtai Mansion, and the family envoy who came to Xiangyang could only wait, but Cui Shenyou was different, he had always been in Guangzhou Mansion, and most of the time, he was in the Yamen.

Therefore, the envoys of the Lu family and the Wang family met Cui Shenyou after they came to Guangzhou.

Cui Shenyou is worried about this matter.

On the one hand, His Royal Highness King Fu can not offend the famous family, after all, many things in the future need to be supported by the famous family, on the other hand, the Qinghe Cui family can not be independent of the famous family, which is very unfavorable to the future development of the clan.

It is said that His Royal Highness King Fu marrying a girl from the Lu family and the Wang family is a win-win thing, but this Li Rupei's temper and temperament, Cui Shenyou also knows, in terms of marrying a wife, the requirements are very strict, and even Cui Anqian and Cui Hanlei's persuasion has no effect.

As the patriarch of the Cui family, Cui Shenyou is very optimistic about Li Rupei's character, as a prince and a great star in the Southern Road, Li Rupei's status can be described as extremely noble, but in terms of life, he is clean and self-conscious, and has unique insights and decisive courage in acting official business.

Such a handsome talent, who is not tempted, the Lu family and the Wang family, would rather lower their status and let the excellent girl of the family become the side room of His Royal Highness King Fu, and they are also willing, and it is precisely because of this that they have taken a fancy to this.
