Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty Chapter 548: Meet, alliance!

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

There are five young boys with luxurious clothes and extraordinary looks sitting inside. The extravagance and elegance of that suit are obviously not cultivated by the poor family.

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

"Li Zexuan first made the price of the book equal, and then launched the "Datang Dictionary". Such behavior is tantamount to digging the foundation of our Shandong gentry. I believe that all of you who do it again will see this."

"Xuan Ji is right. Since the establishment of Li Tang, the Shandong gentry has been repeatedly suppressed and has long lost its former glory. We have to pay attention to the actions of this man in Li County. He is shaking us. The prestige of a few in Shilin~!"

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

"Heh~! How can a small dictionary shake the foundation of our Shandong gentry~? Cui Xuanji, Cui Shen, Qinghe Cui family and Boring Cui family have never been so timid~?"

Hearing these two people talking, the heroic youth 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 hopes, such as Cui Xuanji from Qinghe Cui, Cui Shen from Boring Cui, Zheng Huaijie from Xingyang Zheng, and Lu Chengqing from Fanyang Lu. Li Jingxuan, the Li family of Zhaojun, and the five surnames and Qiwang have now come to five families, and neither the Li family in Longxi nor the Wang family in Taiyuan have come.

Able to be elected as the representatives of various families, these people certainly have their own unique advantages, and they may not be famous now. That is because the two emperors of Li Yuan and Li Er have tried to suppress the Shandong gentry After a few more years, many of them will emerge in the court.

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

"Zheng Huaijie~! Today is different, the family plight, you and I all see it, and the emperor’s ambitions are also obvious. At this time, you are still looking good at it, don’t we have to wait for the future to become ordinary families Will you wake up later~?"

Cui Xuanji's expression is not very attractive.

"Heh~! You can really worry about the world~! The Cui family is a wealthy family that has stretched for thousands of years. Even if the current emperor intends to weaken the family, how can you really make the Cui family up and down~? How many families are we now? It is true to be suppressed, but I think it was only the purpose of the founding of the early Tang Dynasty to improve the status of the Guanlong clans. At this moment, we only need to hibernate. When the prince is in power, we will definitely have more opportunities~!"

Zheng Huaijie retorted somewhat disapprovingly.

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 sprouted in the Eastern Han Dynasty and died in the last years of the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, some people think from the perception that: from the Eastern Han Dynasty, through the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, with the economic "occupying the land and the custom system" and the political "Nine-grade Zhongzheng system" The disappearance of privileges showed a gradual weakening and disappearance, and there was no rebound in the meantime.

In fact, this is a great misunderstanding. Because, in terms of historical facts, in China's era of patriarchal politics, there are two most glorious stages, one is the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the other is the Tang Dynasty. In 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 period of the Tang Dynasty, Shandong gentry was indeed greatly suppressed. First, the "Guanlong Military Group", the feat of building the Tang Dynasty at that time, still had great power; second, the emperor’s intentional suppression; third, In the imperial examination system that was vigorously promoted, many courtiers of the common people appeared, and at that time the "five surnames" were still not suitable for this way of officialdom; the fourth is the jealousy of court officials who came from a poor family.

But after Wu Zetian came to power, on the one hand, he suppressed the veterans of the Guanlong nobles and eliminated political resistance; on the other hand, he began to reuse the Shandong nobles, like Li Jingxuan from the Li family's ancestor in Zhaojun. This was the appreciation of Empress Wu at this time. After entering the power center.

After the "An-Shi Rebellion", the political center of the Tang Dynasty was rebuilt. The pressure on the gentry by those in power was no longer as severe as that of Li Yuan and Li Er. The "Five Surnames" also regained their heads with the help of the imperial examination system, and their momentum was fierce. .

For example, the Zheng family of Xingyang was difficult to find a prime minister in the prime of the Tang Dynasty. Since the middle of the Tang Dynasty, more than a dozen prime ministers and important ministers have appeared in succession, so there is a saying of "Zheng Banchao";

Another example is the Qinghe Cui family. There was the Tang Dynasty. Ten people from the branch house Nanzufang, Qinghe Dafang, Qinghe Xiaofang, and Qingzhou Fang served as prime ministers. Before the "Anshi Rebellion," only two were prime ministers. After entering the Mid-Tang Dynasty, eight people became prime ministers one after another.

The reason for the re-emergence of the Shandong gentry is the change in the attitudes of those in power, of course. Another thing is that after adapting to the imperial examination system, the profound family traditions and intellectual traditions of the great clans made them occupy the imperial examinations. Special advantage.

For example, Fan Yang Lu's family has more than 100 scholars in the Tang Dynasty, especially since the Middle Tang Dynasty. This number is amazing. You should 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's can achieve this result~IndoMTL.com~ It is because of his family style and knowledge.

So if the family wants to develop, they have 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 bear with it, rather than take the initiative to cause trouble~!"

Lu Chengqing frowned and said: "Jing Xuan's words are not correct. Since Li Zexuan appeared in Chang'an, the speed of his rise is jaw-dropping. What Qing Guanzhi does is like deliberately doing right with us. I’m most afraid to hear that he is going to build Yanhuang Academy and develop engineering, which is really absurd in the world~!

Qing suspected that he should be a tool specially arranged by the emperor to suppress our great families~! At this time, the situation for us is no different from boiling frogs in warm water. If we do not act sooner, sooner or later our foundation will be eaten away~! If the Cui family wants to deal with Li Zexuan, our Lu family is willing to help~! "

Cui Xuanji smiled and said: "Brother Chengqing is really far-sighted and understanding of righteousness~!"

After that, he turned to Zheng Huaijie and Li Jingxuan and said: "Brother Zheng, Brother Li, time is not waiting~! If Li Zexuan is allowed to continue to behave like this, the situation of our families will be even more worrying~! Please consider carefully. That’s~!"

Cui Shen helped and said: "Huaijie and Jingxuan, I believe that with the eyes of the two of you, it is impossible to fail to see the threat of Li Zexuan. Please also focus on the overall situation~!"

In the current situation, three of the five companies have formed a united front. Li Jingxuan appeared hesitant. After a while, he stood up and said, "If this is the case, then I, Zhao Jun Li, would also be willing to contribute. , But the matter is big, Jing Xuan still has to discuss with his father Haoshi~!"

"It should be so, it should be so~!"

Cui Xuanji showed a hint of joy, nodded and laughed repeatedly.
