ALL NOVEL Chapter 280
[After investigating the case for so long, I relax and write some daily life. ]
The Qianniu Guards brought by Di Renjie really did it. Anyone who dared to obstruct the law enforcement would be killed without mercy!
After several members of the Qinghe Cui family died, they dared not rush up again.
Cui Yu could not accept such a blow for a while.
Unexpectedly, so many things happened in such a short time.
The human tragedy of the Qinghe Cui family spread to the gentry in Luoyang City all of a sudden.
Everyone is in danger!
Today, they witnessed the power of the emperor for the first time!
In the past, they always looked down on the Li Tang family, thinking that they were bastards with impure blood, but it was just luck. If they did not have the help of a group of gentry, they would not be able to be the emperor.
But now, the Li Tang family's final say finally scared them.
It turns out that being an emperor can really dominate a person's life and death?
If I had known that, I should have been on top, so how could the Li Tang family have the glory?
The major families were in mixed feelings. Did they sympathize with the Cui family of Qinghe?
Yes, but not much.
In the final analysis, Cui Yu's thoughts were too pedantic.
Song Zhen was a rare talent. What would happen if he lowered his status a little and happily welcomed him into the family? Would you lose a piece of meat?
This kid's current achievements are unprecedented.
Have you ever seen such a young Nine Ministers? He is the head of the Nine Ministers, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, who is deeply loved by the saint.
When that group of noble aristocrats secretly investigated Song Zhen's path to godhood, they were more and more shocked!
This kid, it seems, took only one year to rise from a commoner to the head of the Nine Ministers?
Although it is said that entering the official career is a backdoor, but in this era, which official does not use the backdoor?
The number of people who enter the court through the imperial examination is probably less than one in ten.
But who is as perverted as him and can achieve a third-rank position within a year?
Many people are curious about how Song Zhen got to that high position.
Some people speculated whether he was the illegitimate son of a saint.
This statement was quickly refuted. What a joke! The illegitimate son of a saint is also a prince. Why did he start from the grassroots?
Some people speculated whether it was because he composed dozens of songs and "Butterfly Lovers" and was appreciated by the saint.
Many people agree with this statement. After all, Yan Liben became the third-rank Minister of Works by virtue of his painting skills.
However, someone soon refuted it.
"You don't think that Minister Yan's talent is only painting, right?"
Indeed, the Yan brothers have another skill, which is civil engineering.
During the Zhenguan period, the late Emperor Li Shimin ordered Yan Liben, who was still a master of the imperial palace at the time, to renovate Cuiwei Temple into Cuiwei Palace.
It is said that the Zhaoling Mausoleum was built with the help of the two brothers.
In addition, many of Yan Liben's creative activities are closely related to the events of the early Tang Dynasty.
For example, he drew the "Emperors of Successive Dynasties" from the standpoint of supporting unity and praising a stable regime, which was in line with the social development and historical requirements of the early Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, the conclusion that Song Zhen was promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of Rites just because of his musical talent is totally untenable.
Then, some people thought about it carefully and were terrified.
"Could the fall of the Five Surnames and Seven Families be related to Song Zhen?"
Everyone was shocked! Don't tell me, it's really possible!
"Not only the Five Surnames and Seven Families, but also the dismissal of the first two ministers, Li Yifu and Lai Ji!"
"The Guanlong Group has been in a slump, and now the Shandong tyrants are in danger, while the Guanzhong Group is in its heyday. The latter two are currently in a relatively equal position in the court, and they check and balance each other! Isn't this exactly what the saint wants to see?"
"Also, the reform of the imperial examination system, the Ministry of Rites was not a rumor before, and it had nothing to do with Shangshu Xu Jingzong, but Song Zhen's bad idea."
"Don't forget why the Tang Dynasty suddenly held the All Nations to pay tribute, it is likely related to Song Zhen."
If the huge political changes that took place during this period were all behind the scenes by Song Zhen.
Then everything can be explained.
Oh no, this boy is so far-sighted at such a young age? He is capable of great tasks!
Everyone even had a vague illusion that Song Zhen's status was definitely far more than that of the Nine Ministers, and could even be...
"You mean? He can be a Duke of a different surname?"
"Hahaha, don't joke, how can it be so easy to be a Duke of a different surname?"
"I'm really not kidding, it is said that Song Zhen has superb martial arts, even Jinwu Guard Zhonglang Jiang Yuchi Baoqi was defeated by him."
"......." Damn! How come this kid knows a little bit of everything?
At this moment, many people finally realized that Song Zhen was the first extraordinary person to appear since the founding of the Tang Dynasty!He is good at both civil and military affairs, thoughtful, and has excellent interpersonal relationships. He has established deep friendships with many ministers.
A nine-minister who is only thirty years old, after serving for half a year, has almost no negative comments from the central ministers. Doesn't this explain the problem?
What? You said Xu Jingzong had a bad impression of Song Zhen?
What kind of minister is Xu Jingzong? The people have a lot of opinions about him. A person who hates people, he hates people, so-called negative negatives make positives, doesn't it just show that Song Zhen is not a bad official?
Of course, not everyone looks at Song Zhen with new eyes.
For example, the Five Surnames and Seven Families, there are still many scholars and envious and jealous villains who sneer at him!
They are thinking about how to bring down Song Zhen and finally add insult to injury!
Then, they found out sadly! They can't bring him down! They can't bring him down at all!
Song Zhen served as the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, which was responsible for the punishment of the whole country. He was also a neighbor of Liu Xiangdao, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice. Needless to say, the relationship between the two was natural.
In addition, the Dali Temple, which was responsible for hearing the case, Xue Zhengqing, the Minister of the Dali Temple, and Di Renjie, the newly appointed Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, were even closer to Song Zhen than brothers!
They directly cut off your dreams in terms of connections!
What's more, there was Lu Chengqing, the third rank official of the Tongzhongshumen, who was protecting him, and the relationship between the two was even deeper! It was said that A Weng, who was Song Zhen's brother-in-law, was a family!
You said the Censorate? Li Shuang, the Censor, praised Song Zhen for his eloquence and quick thinking in front of others!
Since they couldn't bring down Song Zhen through illegal means, they had to hope that this kid would overturn himself.
But, would the old sixth, who was cautious at every step, really overturn so easily?
Song Zhen, Di Renjie, and Ouyang Yu, who have been promoted recently, represent the younger generation. They have proved to the world that even if they are young, they can still be high-ranking officials.
At the same time, this also represents the change in Li Zhi's thinking, and he began to "recruit talents regardless of their age."
"Since we can't be enemies, why not become a family?"
The families realized it later, and then they began to select good men from the unmarried women in the family and prepare to go to the Song Mansion to propose marriage.
Generally speaking, the betrothal is made by the man to the woman, how can the woman take the initiative to lick her face?
As you can imagine, they are very anxious! Even if they lower their status, they must firmly grasp Song Zhen, the golden son-in-law.
What they never expected was that a great aristocratic family ran the fastest and was already a big step ahead of everyone!
When they saw the person coming clearly, they were stunned.
Then they were filled with indignation!
