Shendu, Nanshi, east of Yuelai Inn, across an artificial river, there is a street specializing in rare things from other domains, as well as local precious items, fur sandalwood, ambergris tonic, all-encompassing.

Every inch of land is expensive, it is a luxurious place, and over time, the price of things from this street has risen three times in the wind, that is, ordinary things, and the value will double when you turn around here.

In a fur storehouse, several richly decorated carriages came one after another, and the people who came down did not wander around the shops on the first floor, but went straight up the wooden staircase covered with thick carpets to the private rooms on the second floor.

Not long after, Qinghe Cui's son-in-law, Luoyang Sima He Si also came here, he was dressed in civilian clothes, slowly walked upstairs, frowning.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is disharmony, Your Majesty set up the Jimin Yuan to help the people, and there is no intention of relenting, if it weren't for Your Majesty's distraction, I'm afraid I may not be able to come here to meet" He Si's seat was in the middle of the hall, and he couldn't see the face of the Empress Wu clearly, but he was vaguely aware that the Empress Wu didn't seem to have much mind to deal with government affairs, and he didn't bother to deal with him, so he was able to escape.

The people sitting in the private room are all representatives of big families such as the five surnames and Qiwang, Zheng Jingsi of the Zheng family of Xingyang, Lu Zhaoyin of the Lu family of Fanyang, Li Zicai of the Li family of Zhaojun, and Wang Zhiben of the Wang family of Taiyuan are also listed, but they are not in harmony with the atmosphere here, drinking tea in a cup, and there is no impatient and angry color of others.

"Zheng Yushi sits firmly in Diaoyutai, I heard that your family also exchanged a lot of gold and silver, but it was solemn but in vain with a Zheng character, but he didn't leave any dignity, and even his own family could do it, it was really not a son of man" Someone pointed the finger at Zheng Jingsi with the intention of instigation.

Zheng Jingsi smiled leisurely, but he didn't tell the truth, his family's money and silk were exchanged for gold and silver with the young eunuch, and then turned into zero, and secretly exchanged half of the money and silk back, this is a strict arrangement made by Quan Ce in private, and the people who handle it are all henchmen in the henchmen, even Princess Taiping and Shangguan Wan'er hide it.

The same treatment is also Fan Yang Lu family, Zhao Jun Li family and Taiyuan Wang family, these four families, are the support force in the power policy entrainment, in the court and the locality, the help is not small, but also must be encompassed, the focus is not on the money and silk blockage, but in the difference, must be different from several others, in order to show the difference, guide them in essence to break away from the five surnames and seven hopes, into their own camp.

"But it's like this, the Boling Cui clan has always been a five-surnamed Niu Er, and there are some movements, and my Xingyang Zheng clan has not dared to fall behind, with heavy losses, and the holy will is difficult to violate, and the Zheng Supervisor never expected that the price of gold and silver would plummet to this point" Zheng Jingsi remained silent, and there was nothing wrong with the Zheng family's order, but the fault was the Boling Cui clan who took the lead, everyone followed the trend, and if they wanted to find trouble, they had to find someone else.

Cui Cheng's cheeks were flushed, he was young, his junior was low, he was at the bottom of the seat, fidgeting, and stumbling in defense, "The ancestor of the family is also unclear, and it coincides with the death of his brother, and his mind is unstable, and he never expected that Quan Langjun, who rarely missed, also walked once and bet on the wrong bet, but the ancestor only exchanged his own money, although the loss was not small, he could still bear it."

What he meant by this, but he refused to admit it, the Boling Cui clan did not force anyone's family, the decisions were made by each other, it was nothing more than a greedy heart, he didn't eat meat at the moment, but was beaten, except for the teeth and blood swallowing, there was no other way, and the Boling Cui clan did not bear any responsibility.

There was silence in the private room, and everyone rolled their eyes, thinking of ghosts.

With a "bang", the representative of the Li family in Longxi knocked on the table heavily, "There are still many small families at the bottom, and they have also suffered a big loss, and each family encourages them to make a fuss and shed more blood, and they must always come up with an explanation."

There was silence for a long time, only Qinghe Cui's family responded a few times, and the other five families did not make a sound.

"Anything without bones, the reputation of the ancestors has been tarnished and cleaned up for you" The representative of the Li clan in Longxi was short-tempered, stood up, pointed around with a halberd, and scolded angrily, "When it comes to the root, isn't it the right policy?" What is there to be afraid of? ”

There was silence in the private room again, and Lu Zhaoyin stood up first, with a gloomy face, and came out with his hands in his hands.

Li Zicai followed, Wang Zhiben was younger, and he couldn't do it with a tiger sniffing the rose, so he shot back coldly, "The Li family in Longxi, it is really extraordinary, it is worthy of the location of the fierce prime minister Li Zhaode, please take care"

The representative of the Li family in Longxi turned purple and red, but his words were vicious, surrounding Li Zhaode, the Li family in Longxi suffered two misfortunes, first to Junchen, and then to Wu Chenghei, who was killed and wounded, and the Danyang house where Li Zhaode was almost cut off.

The three of them brushed their sleeves away, Zheng Jingsi dusted off his sleeves, and also stood up, but he was not in a hurry to leave, "Cui Langjun, I heard that your official recruitment is not going well, can you want to go with me and have a chat?" ”

Cui Cheng asked for an official, not only was it unfavorable, it was simply no way, Quan Ce was relieved, someone in the East Palace contacted their brothers, and there was a intention to promote and pull them together, but their grandfather Cui Renshi learned the lesson of Cui Xiang's death, and resolutely opposed it, so they had to refuse the kindness of the East Palace.

Wei's heart and eyes are not comparable to the power strategy, not his own people, and he pouted face, that is the enemy, and released cruel words, so that these two brothers can not gain a foothold in the officialdom of the Shendu, and all parties in the court and China are guilty of offending the East Palace for the sake of the two yellow-mouthed children, so the two of them are like wandering spirits, floating in the Shendu, full of thinking that the official and half-position at their fingertips is suddenly out of reach.

Just hesitated for a moment, Cui Cheng made a choice in a simple way, there are more people who leave than those who stay, so of course it is more appropriate to follow, "I am willing to listen to Brother Zheng's teachings"

In the private room, only the representatives of the Li family of Longxi and the Cui family of Qinghe, as well as the son-in-law of the Cui family of Qinghe, He Si, were as cold as ice.

He Si quietly moved his seat and stayed away from the Li family in Longxi.

Now it's different from the past, there are still stupid people who think that they can suppress the royal family and be right with the ministers?

The next day, Xiao Jing, the official of Chunguan, and Lin Gu of Gongju Lang jointly played a joint petition to impeach Longyou Dao for fraud, and most of the elected sons were not worthy of the name and were obtained by bribery, especially in Longxi County, Didao County and Lintao County, which were almost erosive.

Empress Wu was furious, so that the Imperial History Observatory sent personnel to strictly investigate, and the Imperial Shi Zheng Jingsi led a team to uncover the fraud case in the Longxi Science Field, implicating dozens of local officials and hundreds of people, the Li family in Longxi was not easy to improve, and was broken again, and the dead were not to be worried, but this time even the reputation was dirty, and Shilin spurned it.

The representative of the Li clan in Longxi, who was so loud that he was frightened to death, escaped from the Shendu overnight, and died halfway through.

He Si was also implicated and impeached a few copies, so as not to hurt his muscles and bones, but his boss, Yin Weixun of Luoyang Mansion, was deliberately adjusting Luoyang Mansion, and he fell into the well and deliberately embarrassed, which made him repeatedly anger the powerful and dismissed him in embarrassment.

Wei Xun did not get his wish fulfilled, and the position of Luoyang Sima did not fall into the palm of his hand, but fell to the head of Cui Cheng, the grandson of the patriarch of the Boling Cui clan, after being recommended by Li Zicai, the right counselor.

The Qinghe Cui clan was terrified, and the patriarch personally entered the gods, knelt under the Danqi, and expressed his allegiance in every possible way, willing to marry the royal daughter for his young son.

The Empress Wu sneered and gave a banquet, but she didn't allow it, which opened a precedent for the royal rejection of the marriage proposal of the warrior clan. I want to talk about "The Dawn of the Tang Dynasty" with more like-minded people, " ", talk about life, and find a confidant~
