It is said that the Sui and Tang dynasties were gate lord politics, and the Tang Dynasty is also known as the most post-aristocratic era.

Li Jing studied at the National Academy in his later life, and he also knew a little about the Gaomen scholars of the Tang Dynasty. There were two most glorious stages of scholar politics, the two Jin and Northern Dynasties and the Tang Dynasty. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the Gaomen clan was greatly suppressed and hit, and Tang Taizong had specialized in cultivating clan chronicles, improving the status of the Li royal family, supporting the landlords of the Shu clan, suppressing the power of the old scholars, and strengthening the imperial power. Gaozong even issued a special edict, "Later Wei Longxi Li Bao, Taiyuan Wang Qiong, Xingyang Zheng Wen, Fan Yang Lu Ziqian, Lu Hun, Lu Fu, Qinghe Cui Zongbo, Cui Yuansun, Qianyan Boling Cui Yi, Jin Zhao County Li Kai and other descendants are not allowed to marry." Wu Zetian even cleared the power of many scholars led by the eldest grandson Wuji at that time, and ended the rule of the Guanlong aristocracy since the Wei and Jin dynasties.

During the more than 50 years she was in power, she vigorously promoted the imperial examination, spared no effort to strike at the landlord and bureaucratic class of the scholar nationality, and at the same time vigorously supported the landlord class of the Shu nationality, selected talents from it, broke the boundaries of the previous scholars, and the Gaomen scholar clan once withdrew from the political center of the imperial court.

Although the scholars were suppressed for a time, in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the politics of the scholars not only did not dim; On the contrary, it is once again strangely brilliant. Especially after entering the late Tang Dynasty, people's concept of gate valve not only did not weaken, but on the contrary, it became more serious.

In the Tang Dynasty, the scholars led by Shandong Gaomen and others did not have an absolute advantage in the imperial court. The first reason is that the "Guanlong Military Group", which was a meritorious service in the Tang Dynasty at that time, still has great power; the second is that the emperor deliberately suppressed; Third, the vigorous implementation of the imperial examination system led to the emergence of many Shu courtiers, and at that time, the scholars mostly entered the official with the shadow of the door, and did not adapt to and did not accept the new way of the imperial examination; Fourth, the jealousy of the court ministers from poor families, such as Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu, the prime ministers of the Wu Zhou Dynasty.

However, as far as Li Jing knows, after the "Anshi Rebellion", the political center of the Tang Dynasty was rebuilt, and the Gaomen scholars re-emerged with the help of the imperial examination system, such as the Zheng family in Xingyang, who was the prime minister in the Tang Dynasty and was difficult to find, and since the beginning of the Middle Tang Dynasty, there have been more than ten prime ministers and important ministers in a row, so there is the saying of "Zheng Banchao"; Another example is Li Jing's teacher Cui Yunqing's Qinghe Cui family, there is the Tang generation, and a total of 10 people served as prime ministers in its branch Nanzu House, Qinghe Big House, Qinghe Small House, and Qingzhou House, and only 2 people were the former prime ministers of the "Anshi Rebellion", and after the Anshi Rebellion, there were 8 people who were prime ministers one after another. The reason for the resurgence of the family is closely related to the mastery of the imperial examination power, and the second is that after adapting to the imperial examination system, the profound family style and intellectual tradition of the family give them a special advantage in the examination. For example, Fan Yang Lu's family, there are Tang generation, especially since the Middle Tang Dynasty, there are more than 100 Jinshi, which is amazing. 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.

In the Tang Dynasty, the Gaomen clan was noble but not powerful, but at this time, especially the Gaomen clan in Shandong was not only famous all over the world, but also had many clansmen in high positions in the imperial court. And these scholars develop very fast, multiply a lot, spread out branches, and the division of labor within the clan is also very fine, most of the intelligent children study, and some learn martial arts to join the army, even those who can't take the entrance examination and can't be a military general, they also bear the name of the scholar clan, and start doing business with the strong financial resources of the scholar clan.

At this time, the scholar clan was a combination of nobles, nobles, and wealth, and the prime ministers of the dynasty all sighed and hated that they could not marry five women in this life. These high-ranking scholars even looked down on the royal family and were unwilling to marry with the royal family. The sons of the Gaomen clan all married early, and they were afraid of marrying princesses. And the daughters of the Gaomen clan are also reluctant to marry the prince and grandson, when Tang Wenzong, the prime minister Zheng Qin married his granddaughter to Cui Gao, a nine-grade petty official from the Gaomen clan, and refused to marry the crown prince, Wenzong sighed embarrassedly: "The folk marriage is not considered to be official, and the two hundred years of heaven in my family can't take care of Cui and Lu Ye?" ”

The five highest surnames in Shandong have also intermarried with each other for generations, and refuse to intermarry with foreigners. Qinghe Cui's and Longxi Li and Fanyang Lu have been married for generations; The Li clan of Zhaojun and the Boling Cui clan have been married for generations; Fanyang Lu and Xingyang Zheng generations married, Longxi Li and Fan Yang Lu generations married.

For these high-ranking scholars, Li Jing does not have any special disgust or yearning. This kind of scholar clan that took hundreds of years or thousands of years to emerge is not the product of a short period of time. Moreover, Li Jing's achievements today actually rely on Cui Yunqing, and Cui Yunqing is the Qingzhou house of the Qinghe Cui family, one of the five surnamed seven families. However, at present, although the scholar clan reached its peak in the Tang Dynasty, Li Jing knew in his heart that this would also be their most prosperous.

When Huang Chao is together, after rampant in the world, the aristocratic family of the Tang Dynasty will also end.

The Han family is also a scholar family, although it is not as good as the five surnames in Shandong, and it is not as good as the four surnames in Guanzhong and the four surnames in Jiangnan, but it is also one of the top surnames in Shandong after the five surnames. What's more, the Han family has been married to other families for generations, which has a great influence. Han Zhi suddenly came to the door and took out such a thick gift, Li Jing had already guessed in his heart that something was wrong with the Han family, and wanted to ask him Li Jing for help. Of course, although Li Jing is now a town general, it is absolutely impossible for him to help him with the problems that the Han family can't handle, and it is estimated that at most, the Han family wants to ask the Cui family for help, so they come to him in a different way.

"Shichiro is a useful place for brothers, if there is one, you can say it directly."

After a while, Han Zhi finally told the story. Things are really as Li Jing guessed, although the Han family is the third largest family in Qingzhou after Cui and Feng, but in fact, the Han family has not produced any influential figures for many years. Officialdom is not good, and the influence of the Han family in the local area is getting weaker and weaker. In recent years, the Han family has had to turn to business with all their might, and with the help of their in-laws, the Lanling Xiao family, it can be regarded as a small success. In recent years, the Han family saw that they could make a lot of money by engaging in maritime trade, so they also spent a lot of money to build a fleet that ran from Dengzhou to the Bohai Sea, Silla, and Japan. The Han family's fleet has more than 20 large ships, which go to sea twice a year and make a lot of money. I don't know what's going on with Lu Dao, the second son of the Han family, who is in charge of the Han family's fleet, actually competed with a descendant of the Feng family for a Qinglou Kabuki, and after drinking, the people on both sides fought with each other, and accidentally beat the Feng family to death.

The Feng family was also ruthless, and they did not report to the official after suffering this big loss, but directly sent someone to Dengzhou to thank him. Later, Da Xie Yan's soldiers and horses envoy Feng Zhang found a few names to detain all the Han family's merchant ships, not only the ship was detained, but the goods were also detained, and even the Han family's principal, boatmen, and guards were all imprisoned in the prison on Da Xie Island. Although the Han family has made a lot of money by operating maritime trade in recent years, more than 20 ships, as well as the goods of those 20 ships and the hundreds of people have been detained, but the Han family can't bear it.

The head of the Han family beat the second son who caused the trouble in person, and then brought a large number of gifts to the door to make amends, but the head of the Feng family was angry because Feng Yanqing and Feng Liang died suddenly and tragically in Dengzhou, and almost all of the power of the Feng family in Dengzhou for many years was lost. No matter how the Han family accompanies the crime, the Feng family is determined to govern the Han family. Among them, there is also the possibility of the closure family early in the Korean family's sea trade business.

In desperation, the head of the Han family thought of asking the Lanling Xiao family to reconcile, but although the Lanling Xiao family belonged to the first clan south of Huainan, after all, it was far away in Yangzhou, and after a few words, the Feng family didn't pay attention to it at all. The Han family had no choice but to go to the Cui family, the largest clan in Qingzhou, but the Cui family was happy to see the Feng family and the Han family fighting, so how could they easily come forward. After tossing back and forth for a long time, the head of the Han family didn't even see the face of Cui Yunqing, the head of the Cui family. Later, I accidentally learned that Cui Yunqing's protégé Li Jing's mother was actually a member of the Han family who married out of the Han family many years ago, and the head of the Han family, who really had no choice, invited his sister, who happened to go home to save his relatives, and brought his seventh son straight to the Li family in Wendeng County.

"Brother Ji Yu is Cui Sima's protégé, and I heard that he has a good relationship with King Zhao of Dengzhou, and he is still Yu Gong's protégé. Now that the Han family has indeed encountered some twists and turns, I also asked Brother Ji Yu to help mediate for the sake of Lingtang who is also from the Han family. If he can break up with the Feng family this time, his father will be willing to give a thank you gift of 10,000 yuan. Seeing that Li Jing didn't speak, he immediately said: "Of course, all the expenses used in the roundup are all paid by the Han family. In addition, the Han family will also take out 30,000 guan as a thank you gift to Duke Cui, Duke Yu and King Zhao. ”

"Qilang, don't you know that I have a gap with the Cui family? Besides, the family teacher Cui Gong and the Feng family have always had some festivals before, and when Feng Yanqing died, there were many rumors that the family teacher did it. Just imagine, it's too late for the family teacher to hide when he encounters the matter of the Feng family, so how can he be willing to meddle in this matter? ”

Han Zhi had a gloomy face, glared at Li Jing, gritted his teeth and said, "Fifteen thousand, if you can facilitate this, the Han family will give Brother Ji Yu another five thousand." ”

When Li Jing heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart. It's nothing, but it's Han Zhi's tone of voice that makes him a little unhappy. Han Zhi seemed to regard him as a subordinate of the Zhi family, and his mouth was full of a hint of command. Especially Han Zhi's mouth at every turn is that he pays the money, and then Li Jing should see the money and take the money with a smile to help him do things. Li Jing really needs money, he originally bought that batch of equipment and still had more than 1,000 yuan, but after returning home to prepare for his mother's birthday, he was also taking in homeless people, and he had to recruit soldiers, and all kinds of money were like flowing water.

Seeing that the money bag is empty, Li Jing is still willing to do it at this time if he can make a profit. But Han Zhi's attitude made him a little unhappy. Besides, he is a small town general, and if he wants to meddle in the battle between the Dashi clan like Feng Han, he is really powerless. What's more, Feng Zhang, who is a big thank you, is his top boss.

"I'm sorry, brother, I can't do anything about it." Li Jing's tone became a little cold and refused.
