No matter how secretly people slander, it has become an established fact that the Cui family of the Cui family's branch have settled down. Not only that, Emperor Xuanwu also appointed many young people from the branch to important positions. As soon as this news spread, not only the Cui family's own family
The shock also caused waves among other aristocratic families.
The imperial court suppressed the aristocratic families for a long time, and all the children of the aristocratic families took up idle jobs after high school. They had been away from the imperial court for a long time, and then they had no choice but to retreat to the countryside to support and train ordinary scholars and expand the family's network of relationships.
However, outsiders are still outsiders after all, and cannot compare to the glorious moment when the family controlled the court. Therefore, when Cui Weizhen's father, Cui Shichang, was born, the family was encouraged and thought that the relationship between the family and the royal family had finally broken through. This was the beginning of the emperor's use of
An important signal for the family.
It's a pity that the aristocratic family is still the aristocratic family, Cui Shichang is still Cui Shichang, he is only representing himself.
After Cui Shichang died at an early age, there was no one in the family who was talented and outstanding. It was not until Cui Weizhen suddenly emerged that everyone noticed that the Cui family had such a number one figure.
This son inherited his husband's talent and good fortune, and won the emperor's trust and responsibility. He was only in his early twenties, and he was already in the fourth rank of officialdom. He was particularly eye-catching among a group of old men with white beards. No matter who looked at him, he would not be surprised.
Do you think this kid has a bright future?
Facts have proved that Cui Weizhen is indeed a talented person with outstanding abilities. Under his leadership, the Cui clan in the capital has a faint tendency to rise. Many people who are observing in secret can no longer sit still!
Isn't it just a loss of some homeless tenants? Compared with the future of the family's children, it is not worth mentioning!
After the children of the Wang family also received awards and promotions, other aristocratic families also took action. However, the heads of some aristocratic families may not be willing to submit to the imperial court. This gave those who wanted to separate the clan an opportunity to take advantage of it. They took this as an opportunity to
Follow the example of the Cui family and ask for clan division.
The matter of splitting the clan was not just a whim. Cui Weizhen had lobbied secretly before. The direct descendants of these aristocratic families had already made preparations. Now that they had the future of their descendants as an excuse, they did not have to worry about being poked in the back and scolded by the clan members after proposing to split the clan.
They didn't know that all this was expected by Emperor Xuanwu and Cui Weizhen. Because they were secretly acting, those families who were clamoring to split their sects would succeed in nine out of ten, and even if the remaining few families failed to do so,
The sect has also reached the point where it seems that it seems to be in harmony with the spirit, and it is only a matter of time before it falls apart.
The aristocratic families had a lively quarrel, which caused a lot of criticism and speculation, but in any case, the biggest winner was Emperor Xuanwu——
His long-cherished wish to weaken the family finally took a big step forward.
This time, Cui Weizhen was the hero who was responsible for weakening the family's strength and liberating the refugee tenants. Rewarding him with gold, silver, and jewels was no longer enough to reward him for his merits. Only promotion to the rank and title would satisfy him.
However, he had just been promoted to the rank of Vice Minister not long ago, and it was unrealistic to be promoted again. After many considerations, Emperor Xuanwu finally put his pen to paper and wrote an imperial edict himself.
The eunuch who delivered the edict came to Cui Mansion with great joy to announce the edict. When he finished reading the edict, everyone was stunned. Even Cui Weizhen had a slightly stunned look on his face, let alone Ye Zhenzhen.
She suspected that she was too tired recently and had hallucinations. If not, why would the Holy Spirit knight Cui Weizhen?
Jing Ningbo.
The title given by Yubi himself, from now on, Cui Weizhen will be Uncle Jing Ning!
