More than half an hour ago, in a private room of the Junyue Restaurant.

There were five young sons with luxurious clothes and extraordinary looks sitting inside. The extravagance and elegance of that body were obviously not something that a humble family could cultivate.

The five people sat opposite each other, but they did not deliberately maintain the priority of the seats. Among them, the young man named Xuanji was saying:

"Li Zexuan first flattened the price of the book, and then launched the "Datang Dictionary". Such behavior is tantamount to digging the foundation of our Shandong gentry. I believe that all the brothers sitting here can see this."

"Xuan Ji is right. Since the establishment of Li Tang, the Shandong gentry has been repeatedly suppressed and has long since lost its former glory. Now this Li County man's actions, we have to pay attention, he is shaking our family in Shihlin's prestige~!"

A slightly older man sitting next to Xuan Ji took over the conversation and said.

"Heh~! How can a little dictionary shake the foundation of our Shandong nobility~? How could Cui Xuanji, Cui Shen, Qinghe Cui Cui and Boling Cui Clan be so timid~?"

Hearing these two talk, the heroic boy sitting outside sneered dissatisfiedly.

It turns out that the people sitting in this room today are all outstanding representatives of the generation of five surnames and seven Wangs, Cui Xuanji of Qinghe Cui, Cui Shen of Boling Cui, Zheng Huaijie of Xingyang Zheng, Lu Chengqing of Fanyang, and Li of Zhaojun. Li Jingxuan and the five surnames and seven Wang have now come to five families, but neither the Longxi Li nor the Taiyuan Wang family have come.

To be elected as the representatives of each family, these people of course have their own advantages. Now they may not be famous. That is because the two generations of emperors, Li Yuan and Li Er, have strongly suppressed the Shandong nobility. Over the years, many of them will emerge in the courtroom.

For example, Lu Chengqing, he served as the prime minister during the Gaozong period, and Cui Shen, although this person did not do much in the officialdom, he later gave birth to a very powerful son named Cui Xuanwei, who also served in Gaozong period. The prime minister, during the Wu and Zhou Dynasties, staged a coup d'état in order to support the crown prince Li Xian to the throne, so he was named the king of the county, and the other two also had their own good fortune.

"Zheng Huai Festival~! This time is different from the past. You and I have seen the plight of the family. The emperor's ambitions are also obvious. It's this time. Will you wake up~?"

Cui Xuanji said with an unpleasant expression.

"Heh~! You are really worrying about the world~! The Cui family is a wealthy family that has lasted for thousands of years. Even if the current emperor intends to weaken the family, how can he really bring your Cui family up and down~? Now our big families have been suppressed. It’s true, but I think it’s just Li Tang Chujian, the Li clan in Longxi is just to improve the status of the Guanlong nobility, at this moment we just need to hibernate, and when the prince ascends, we will definitely have more opportunities~!”

Zheng Huaijie retorted with some disapproval.

I have to say that although this product is a bit arrogant, it still has a good grasp of the overall situation.

Aristocratic politics or aristocratic politics in Chinese history sprang up in the Eastern Han Dynasty and perished in the last years of the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, some people feel that: family politics, from the Eastern Han Dynasty, through the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, with the disappearance of the two major privileges of the "Zhantian Yin Custom System" and the political "Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System" , and showed a gradual weakening and disappearing situation, without rebounding in the meantime.

In fact, this is a huge misunderstanding. Because, as far as historical facts are concerned, in China's aristocratic political era, there were two most brilliant stages, one was the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the other was the Tang Dynasty. During the Tang Dynasty, especially in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the gentry politics not only did not dim; on the contrary, it became strangely brilliant again.

In the early Tang Dynasty, the Shandong gentry were indeed severely suppressed. First, the "Guanlong Military Group", which was the meritorious deed of building the Tang Dynasty at that time, was still very powerful; second, the emperor's intentional suppression; third, vigorous promotion In the imperial examination system of China, many courtiers of the prosperous family appeared, and at that time the "five surnames" were not suitable for this way of serving as officials; the fourth was the jealousy of court officials from poor families.

However, after Wu Zetian came to power later, on the one hand, he suppressed the old officials in the Guanlong nobles and eliminated political resistance; on the other hand, he began to reuse the Shandong nobility, like Li Jingxuan from the western ancestor of the Li clan in Zhao County, after being appreciated by Empress Wu at this time, into the center of power.

After the "An-Shi Rebellion", the political center of the Tang Dynasty was rebuilt, and those in power were no longer as ruthless in suppressing the gentry as they were during the period of Li Yuan and Li Er.

For example, the Zheng family of Xingyang, who was a prime minister in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, was hard to find, but since the middle Tang Dynasty, more than ten prime ministers and important ministers appeared in a row, so there is a saying of "Zheng Banchao";

Another example is the Cui Clan of Qinghe, who belonged to the Tang Dynasty. Ten members of its branch, Nanzufang, Qinghe Dafang, Qinghe Xiaofang, and Qingzhou Fang were prime ministers. Before the "An Shi Rebellion", there were only two prime ministers. After the incident, they entered the middle. In the Tang Dynasty, eight people successively became prime ministers.

The reason for the re-emergence of the Shandong nobility is of course the change in the attitude of those in power. Furthermore, after adapting to the imperial examination system, the profound family traditions and intellectual traditions of the high-ranking clan gave them a special advantage in the imperial examination. .

Such as Fan Yang Lu, there are more than 100 people in the Tang Dynasty, especially since the middle Tang Dynasty. This amount is astounding. You must know that in the Tang Dynasty, the Jinshi examination in the imperial examination was the most difficult, and the number of admissions was small. Lu was able to achieve this result by virtue of his family style and knowledge.

Therefore, if the family wants to develop, it has to wait for the opportunity.

Li Jingxuan nodded and said, "Xuan Ji, although Huaijie's words are offensive, they are not unreasonable.

At the moment, we should hold back the momentum, instead of taking the initiative to create trouble~! "

Lu Chengqing frowned and said, "Jingxuan's words are too bad. Since Li Zexuan appeared in Chang'an, the speed of his rise is astonishing. What Qing Guanzhi does seems to be going against us. To say that he wants to build Yanhuang Academy and develop engineering is really absurd!

Qing suspects that he should be a tool specially arranged by His Majesty the Emperor to suppress our great families~! The situation at this time is tantamount to boiling frogs in warm water. If we don't act sooner or later, our foundation will be devoured sooner or later~! If the Cui family wants to deal with Li Zexuan, our Lu family is willing to make a contribution~! "

Cui Xuanji smiled and said, "Brother Chengqing is really far-sighted and righteous~!"

After that, he turned around to Zheng Huaijie and Li Jingxuan and said, "Brother Zheng, Brother Li, I can't wait~! If Li Zexuan is allowed to act like this, the situation of our family will be even more worrying~! Please consider it carefully~ !"

Cui Shen said to the side: "Huaijie, Jingxuan, I believe that with the eyes of the two of you, it is impossible not to see the threat of Li Zexuan, please put the overall situation first~!"

In the current situation, three of the five families have formed a united front. Li Jingxuan's face appeared hesitant. After a while, he stood up and cupped his hands and said, "If that's the case, then I, Mrs. Li from Zhao County, are also willing to contribute, but here's the thing. The matter is big, and Jingxuan has to discuss it with his father, Haosheng~!”

"As it should be, as it should be~!"

Cui Xuanji showed a hint of joy, nodded and smiled.
