Chapter Twenty-One
. "Zheng Qing, please get up." Li Wei said.
Uncle Zheng Lian was not fame, and Li Wei still had to call him "Qing" as the foundation of a famous family.
Let a few people sit down, with Zheng Lianshu here, and the envoy of the Lu Kingdom was not very easy to ask about the beasts on the riverside. The eunuch brought the table and put the wine and food. Li Wei said: "It's just the time to eat, so Zheng Qing might as well sit down with a look."
"You Ping is too humble, how dare I?"
They respect and love each other. But Li Wei couldn't laugh or cry. No matter how he said that, he was still an emperor.
Uncle Zheng Lian seemed to see through Li Wei's thoughts, stood up and said, "I respect your Majesty for a glass." As he said that, he bent down, and the wine glass was facing up with difficulty, covering his long sleeves, and finishing it all at once. This was a very humble toast.
Then he said, "My wife is the daughter of the Cui family in Boling. I accompanied her back to her mother's house to visit her. I happened to hear that Your Majesty is here and I admire Your Majesty for a long time. In addition, Shangguan Liangyuan's mother is my cousin, so I come and look forward to Your Majesty with respect."
Li Wei said in his heart, it would be strange if he believes in you.
Shangguan Wan'er's mother comes from the Zheng family in Xingyang. How many children do the Zheng family have?
I was not sure about the Tang Dynasty. Later, I specifically asked about it. The five surnames and seven families were not what I thought. For example, the Zheng family in Mengyang, not all the Zheng family in Mengyang were in Mengyang. Not all the Zheng family in the world were from Xingyang. The Zheng family in Mengyang originated from Zheng Rong, named Zheng Jun, and was born at that time. At that time, the sixth generation of Sun Pu, moved from Chen to Bianzhou at the end of the Han Dynasty, and established Mengyang County in Jin, and then became a county citizen. Sun Xing (the Grand Doctor of Han Taizhong), Xingshengzhong (the Grand Doctor of the Later Han Dynasty), great-grandson Xi, Xishengtai, Hun (the general of Wei was the master craftsman), Taishengmao, Hun (the governor of Jingzhou of Jin). Chongsheng was all born to Fufeng Prefect Sui, and Suishengcai Zhao Shizhong gave birth to six sons: Tu, Huo, Yuan, Jing, Yue, Chu.
Through these inheritance relationships, although the five surnames and seven families have become tumors, we can also see why people respected it at that time, not only the pure Han bloodline, but also the glory of generation after generation. Wealth is only three generations, and it is difficult to pass on from the Spring and Autumn Period, and the Zheng family has continued to be talents from generation to generation.
Zheng Huo was transferred to Mengyang, and gave birth to the crown prince of Yan, Zhan Shimin. Li Shimin decided to establish the five surnames and seven families, or the Xingyang Zheng Wen, among the ten families of the seven surnames and ten families, which refers to Zheng Wen. The descendants of Zheng Wen were the real children of the Zheng family in Xingyang.
Wen also gave birth to his fourth son, Zheng Tao, the eldest son of the Zheng family in Xingyang. He followed Emperor Daowu of the Northern Wei Dynasty to march westward and settled in Longxi. His descendants were scattered in Shaanxi, Gansu, northern Sichuan and other places. His second son, Zheng Ye, was the Northern Yanzu, Duke of Nanyang of the Later Wei Dynasty, General Jianwei, and lived in Xingyang (now Guxing Town, Zhengzhou). His third son, Zheng Jianzu, was the Southern Yanzu, and settled in Jingxian County (now Xiangcheng, Mengyang). The fourth son, Zheng Tian, was the Central Yanzu, and lived in Dasuo (now Old City of Xingyang).
Among them, the Northern Jaycee was the most prosperous. Because Zheng Ye had Qizi, Bailin, Xiaobai, Shuye, Donglin, Guizang, Lianshan, and Youlin, it was also called Beiqifang. Due to the Five Barbarians' invasion of China, the dynasties were constantly handed over, and Xingyang was a must-fight place. Some of them were not all in Xingyang. Some moved to other places, such as Changfang moved to Baoshan, the small island of Taihu Lake. However, the second, fourth, six, seven, and the four houses were extremely honorable in the Wei, Jin, Sui and Tang Dynasties, and this was the representative of the Zheng family in Mengyang.
It is not that the other couples have fallen out, but they are not as dazzling as these four houses. They are still developing tenaciously and have produced many talents one after another. For example, the Zheng family in Taihu Lake not only became a big family after the Xishan Mountains and the southbound in Taihu Lake, but also several senior officials have appeared in the Tang Dynasty.
This is only the Zheng family in Xingyang. If it were the Cui family, the Lu family and the Li family would have a larger and dazzling connection. In contrast, the Wang family in Taiyuan is a bit thin, and they are just matchmakers among the five surnames and seven families. The more talents they produce, the more resources they occupy, the greater the resources they occupy. The seven families in the five surnames and seven families have evolved to the present level, and even the royal family can be proud of it!
It is even more impossible to get married. Once you climb, Shangguan Wan'er still doesn't know how many uncles she has become. There are not ten thousand, and there are probably five thousand.
Li Wei would not be serious either. Uncle Zheng Lian is the direct descendant of the most noble second wife of the Zheng family in Xingyang, and he doesn't have to get a close relationship with a Liang Yuan. But he said, "Wan'er, don't call him uncle yet."
"I dare not take it, I dare not take it."
What's wrong with your Zheng family?
After pretending to talk about the marriage, Uncle Zheng Lian said, "Your Majesty, will you go to Xingyang for this trip? My father heard that Your Majesty is lucky to Henan Road. He has been looking forward to it at home and has been waiting for it for a long time..."
Henan Road was not the later Henan Province, including most of Henan Province, northern Anhui Province, and most areas of Shandong Province. Li Wei circled a circle and did not go to the edge areas, such as the Junbei region and the Shandong Peninsula region, but he did not follow the Yellow River. Following the Yellow River must pass through Mengyang, not because of the Zheng family in Xingyang, which means that Li Wei was suspicious of this top family.
Zheng Lianshu's father was old, but he was not old. As the head of the Zheng family, he could not come to Huaizhou and do such a charming act. Therefore, when he sent his second son, it was not the eldest son who could not be sent. Just look at the appearance of Zheng Gongchu, you will know that there are other flavors.
Li Wei and Liu Rengui looked at each other and smiled slightly. When they ascended the throne, they said something. These top clans couldn't sit still. This time they came to invite them was also their first direct communication or collision with the royal family.
Uncle Zheng Lian was also looking forward to the new emperor.
As a child of aristocratic families, they will not look like ordinary people when they see problems.
When asked the people, they would say with tears in their eyes that the emperor is good and kind, which emperor would say that the people are the most expensive and the lord is the lightest? Not only did they say that, but they would look at their luck, this time they traveled to an unparalleled level. Wherever they were, they would ask about their well-being.
But that's not the case? Not necessarily!
It is very good to the people. In history, like this emperor, who is against the people, can be counted without a single finger. However, this emperor is actually square inside and round outside. Since he cut off Helan Minzhi's little ** with one knife, he has always been very strong inside. If you don't believe it, look at what he did in Qinghai, and then see how the Supreme Emperor abdicated inexplicably.
What he said after ascending the throne made all his families smell a little uneasy. Don’t say that his families are constantly married and tied together, and have strong strength. After all, the new emperor has mastered the country’s machinery, and is better than young, and has great achievements. Besides, the reputation of these Ziba families is rigorous in style and is praised by the world. However, the influence of this new emperor in the people is no less than that of his own big families.
So I asked to accompany my wife back to my parents' home and invited the emperor to visit the Zheng family in Xingyang for a discussion. The wind.
Not only that, I discussed it and brought my own daughter, and I was also the most beautiful girl in the family who had not been married.
After looking at each other and smiling, Li Wei's eyes swept over Uncle Zheng Lian and then over Zheng Gongchu's body. The little girl's face turned red and she lowered. Li Wei laughed again and said, "Since it was your father's invitation, how dare I not follow me?"
"I dare not, I dare not." Uncle Zheng Lian didn't know whether it was joy or sorrow. Emperor Xi agreed, sorrow was the emperor's constant use of respect for himself and his father.
"But what I do is simple, but there is no good hospitality."
"Your Majesty briefly, I admire you for a long time." Zheng Shulian said again: "I have heard that Your Highness is outstanding in talent for a long time. It just so happens that the little girl understands the rhythm. Can I let her play a song for Your Majesty to cheer up the banquet?"
Although he was very confident in his daughter, the emperor had refused to marry each other in the five surnames and seven families, so he did not have much confidence in Li Wei. This was to let his daughter show her talents.
Li Wei looked at Liu Rengui again, not easy to show. Talents from the five families and seven families emerged continuously. It was precisely because of the rigorous family tradition that women usually wear thick Luo curtains when they go out, and even their clothes are thick, like the palace dresses of the Tang Dynasty. Because they are thin, several major families prohibit their women from wearing them. Not only that, after a woman gets married or gets married, unless in a very special situation, even if her husband dies, she will have to keep her rituals and not go out to marry again.
Therefore, people in the world are eager to marry into the five surnames and seven families, or want to marry a woman from the five surnames and seven families.
It’s enough to stop playing without a comment. Being a performance in front of so many people is also a promise of changing direction.
Li Wei looked at Liu Rengui, and Uncle Zheng Lian looked at Li Wei. Not only did he look at it, but the young lady of the Zheng family was also looking at it. She just looked quietly. Her good education made her expression very implicit. She glanced quietly, then immediately lowered her head, showing her neck full of pink.
Liu Rengui twisted his beard and nodded again.
Li Wei said: "Just perform..."
Liu Rengui is for his own good, but Li Wei doesn't think much. Even if he is in a relationship, he may not be able to get the support of the Zheng family in Mengyang. On the contrary, he will definitely pay for the Zheng family in Mengyang. Besides, if all the big families have this idea, what will the harem become? Could it be that he really became a stallion?
"Yes." Uncle Zheng Lian was a little disappointed, but the playing was better than not. With a wave of his hand, the servant brought the Yaoqin and placed it on the table. Zheng Gongchu sat upright at the table and played a musical song.
"Okay", Li Wei slapped his palm.
"Your Majesty praises," the girl said.
This is the first time I have spoken. I can also see how rigorous the Zheng family's family tradition is. The sound is very nice, like a milk swallow's first cry.
"Good is good. Mrs. Zheng doesn't have to be too humble. You guys, should you drink a drink when you hear this good news?"
"Here."
Uncle Zheng Lian came here just to invite and bring his daughter to express his meaning. How to talk? His weight was not enough when facing the emperor. So he began to eat without saying a word. Before the banquet ended, Li Lingyue and Wei Yue rushed in with one person excitedly.
Li Lingyue shouted: "I caught this bad guy."
Governor Zhang smiled bitterly. The emperor was originally a big deal, and the little princess who had a reputation as a knight in Shaolin Temple when she was a child was mixed up, which made her headache. Then she looked at the manager of Wu Chengsi Manor with pitiful eyes.
It was even more pitiful, with a disheveled face, and some blue marks of punching and kicking on his face, and then he looked at Li Yiyan with resentment. Li Yiyan also smiled bitterly. If it were just a good dear, his words were useful, and a little princess added it, it was not only the pearl in the palm of the Supreme Emperor and the Queen Mother, but also the pearl in the palm of the emperor, and it was only half a big one. She said she understood but didn't understand, she said she didn't understand, she understood a little, and she couldn't explain the truth clearly, so she had to watch the guards beat the manager to the blue face under the command of the princess.
Li Wei's expression suddenly turned out to be unexpected by Zhang Junxiangou, and his face was full of spring breeze and said kindly: "This person is a talented person. Why did he make him look like this and quickly loosen his ties."
The manager did not take the matter seriously, and immediately leaned down and said, "Mr. Wu Quanzi, a subject, paid homage to His Majesty, several concubines, two ministers, and several envoys. The subjects did not know that all the matters that were heavy on interest were done by his servants."
"You are in charge of the business, how can you not know? But I call you to come because I admire your talents."
"Subjects have no talent."
"Okay, very good. I appreciate such talent, not arrogant or impatient. I originally planned to allocate 100,000 gangster money from the treasury to let you make money for the court. It seems that it is still a small amount. Liu Qing, if the court squeezes it, how much money can it be free?"
"Report to Your Majesty, the imperial treasury is nervous. But if you want to squeeze it out and free up 300,000 to 400,000 gangster money, it will not have a big impact on the treasury."
"I understand, your name is Wu Quanzi, right? The name is very good. I immediately pass on a book and send it to Dongdu. I will free up 400,000 gangster money from the treasury to let you manage it. As long as you return to the court in half a year, you will return one million gangster money in another half a year."
The three members of the Zheng family didn't know what happened, but they were stunned when they heard it. Four hundred thousand yuan, and they generated two million gangster money a year. No matter how powerful their family was, they did not have the ability, or they would sell the property of the two families of Zike and the Cui family of Boling.
Shangguan Wan'er and several other women just laughed.
Zhang Junxian and a group of officials in Huaizhou kept wiping cold sweats.
