587. The scholars compromised

Jingwen received the emperor's order, and immediately began the so-called purge of the court. These purges of the court are just for show, mainly because Emperor Li Shimin wants to show his attitude to those nobles and show that he is uncompromising. And those scholars immediately sat on the wax, because the emperor was uncompromising, so could they still tear their faces? Therefore, now the scholars are also sitting on wax for a while, because this emperor and Jingwen are very shameless! Emperor Li Shimin and Jingwen actually showed off the lower limit so shamelessly, which made them both feel sick to their stomachs. But they can't help it, can you still point to the emperor and scold him for his shameless show lower limit? There are some things that can be said behind your back, but you can't say them to your face, otherwise you will tear your face.

"Brother Cui, what do you say we should do?" Lu Yu said to Cui Fu.

Cui Fu also said helplessly: "What else can I do?" It seems that the emperor has made it clear that he doesn't want our Cui family and the Lu family to marry, what else can we do? ”

Lu Yu was also a little speechless, in fact, this marriage was mutually beneficial and reciprocal for both parties. Although the Lu family is also one of the seven clans and five surnames, their family is actually at the bottom of the seven clans and five surnames now, and if they can successfully marry, they can use the identity of the Cui family to stabilize their position and not continue to fall. And Cui Tan of the Cui family can also use this "son-in-law" to stabilize his status as the eldest son, but now that the emperor is so shamelessly intervening, they really have no choice. It's not that they haven't thought about it, and they directly asked people to clarify the marriage letter of the imperial court. However, the officials of the household department obviously received an order, that is, the marriage between the Cui family and the Lu family during this period will definitely not be handled. This is tantamount to the failure of the legal formalities, and as a result, the emperor Li Shimin took advantage of the loophole.

Although according to folk customs, Cui Ying has actually married Lu Jian, but the last formalities have not been completed. But now that Li Shimin instructed Jingwen to intervene, this made them helpless. At present, the household department does not handle the "marriage registration", which means that the last formalities cannot be completed. And before that. It's just an unmarried couple. Unmarried couples, that is, they have not yet become husband and wife, so if they say that they have not succeeded, it means that they are not. If you are unmarried, you can be interfered at any time, so you can just come and get it? So, they all felt very speechless.

"Forget it, this time it's our Lu family's admit, who let Li Shimin, the emperor, take the righteousness! It's also our fault that we didn't watch out before. As a result, the emperor instructed Jingwen, a mad dog, to intervene. Now, we'll just have to forget it! Lu Yu said.

"So what should we do?" Cui Fu asked.

"This marriage, cancel it!" Lu Yu said.

"However, this is an agreement between us and the Lu family, so can the patriarch of your family agree?" Cui Fu asked.

"I will agree, now that things are out of order, what can I do?" Lu Yu said.

Soon, the Cui family and the Lu family announced that the marriage was canceled. As for the reason, it respects Cui Ying's ideas and advocates free love. This time, if their scholars want to marry, they will be interfered by the emperor. And the gentry are also being careful. Because in the future, I am afraid that their marriage will also be interfered with by the emperor. However, this kind of marriage of scholars has too much impact on the country, and the emperor will inevitably have to be careful. If you're not careful, I'm afraid the consequences will be very severe.

The scholars have too many resources, and if they marry, I am afraid that it will also create a large interest group. Bring him closer together. Therefore, Li Shimin planned to cut off their marriage network so that they could not gather to oppose the emperor. This is also Li Shimin's idea, to cut off the marriage network of the scholars, so that the emperor can sit back and relax.

In the palace, Li Shimin received the news that the Cui family and the Lu family had given up their plan to marry, and immediately smiled.

"Your Majesty, what are you so happy about?" Empress Eldest Sun asked.

"The Cui family and the Lu family gave up their marriage, and my first step finally came to fruition." Li Shimin said.

"Then what should the emperor do next?" Empress Eldest Sun asked.

Li Shimin said: "Next, that is to 'chase and kill'!" Fight for a complete end to their marriage network, so that they will become a mess. ”

Li Shimin had already planned that he couldn't let go of the Shi clan so easily this time, and he had to chase them hard, so that they could truly surrender. Now that those scholars have taken a step back, they must force them to take the second and third steps back, if they don't take advantage of this time to chase and fight, then Li Shimin will not be a founding emperor. Therefore, of course, Li Shimin must chase and fight hard, so that he can obtain the greatest benefits for himself.

Empress Eldest Sun looked at Li Shimin's happy look, and she was also very happy in her heart. Since she is the mother of the Tang Dynasty, she is naturally one with the Tang Dynasty, and there can be no separation. As long as Datang can stabilize the dìng, that will not be a problem. And the wealth of the eldest grandson's family has been twisted together with the emperor's Li family, and it is impossible to separate. Since the emperor was so worried about these scholars, it was naturally the enemy of Empress Changsun. Now that the "enemy" has finally compromised, the eldest grandson empress is of course very happy.

However, Empress Eldest Sun continued: "It's a pity, this time it's that Miss Cui's reputation may be completely ruined!" Your Majesty, you are really, you actually use this kind of means, this kind of means is a great damage to a girl's reputation! In the future, I'm afraid he won't be able to get married! ”

Empress Changsun is a woman after all, and she doesn't quite agree with Li Shimin's way of doing things that destroy a girl's name. But since this is beneficial to the royal family, and it involves her husband, it is difficult for the eldest grandson queen to say anything. Therefore, Empress Eldest Sun can only complain.

"Miss Cui, I can't help it. As for the future, it depends on what Miss Cui does. Li Shimin also said helplessly.

Li Shimin doesn't care about Cui Ying's problem, Cui Ying is nothing in his eyes. Cui Ying, an ordinary woman of the scholar clan, is just a pawn in Li Shimin's eyes. Now that the whole chess game has been gradually won, then this chess piece will be useless and will become an outcast. For the abandoned son, Li Shimin will not care too much. What is the end of Cui Ying, Li Shimin doesn't care, after all, Li Shimin doesn't have so much spare time to manage these things. (To be continued......)
