Chapter 78 The connection of the same surname

The prominence of the top families lies in the fact that even though the three surnames of Hedong and Jingzhao Wei were collectively known as the four surnames of Guanzhong in the Tang Dynasty due to their ability to follow the dragon, when it comes to the four surnames of the Tang Dynasty, they are still Cui, Li and Zhenglu.

As for the Taiyuan Wang family, who was originally one of the five surnames, she has been kicked out of the circle of friends with the five surnames.

The Pei family of Wenxi produced a total of seventeen prime ministers in the Tang Dynasty, but their family status was still weaker than that of King Cui, Li and Zheng. The reason was that they had the same surname.

The so-called connection of the same surname means that the Cui family of Qinghe and the Cui family of Boling, and the Li family of Longxi and the Li family of Zhaojun become one family.

Taking the Cui family as an example, the most obvious manifestation of this situation is that the Cui family of Qinghe used the sages of the Cui family of Boling to boast of their family name, and the Cui family of Boling also used the sages of the Cui family of Qinghe to add glory to their county.

For example, the epitaph of Cui Xiaochang, a native of Qinghe, records: "The prefect Shi Zhi Li Yan, Sikong Lin Zhi Qing Zhi, took his place as the crown clan and the sect of the world."

Cui Shi was a figure of the Boling Cui family. There are seven epitaphs unearthed in later generations similar to the one in which the Cui family of Qinghe regarded the sages of the Boling Cui family as their ancestors.

There are more than 10 cases in which the epitaphs of the Boling Cui family name the ancestors of the Qinghe Cui family as their ancestors.

In fact, there were signs of this kind of thing in the late Northern Dynasties, especially after the Bolingcui family became one of the top families.

That is to say, the Boling Cui family and the Qinghe Cui family began to regard each other as their own kin in a broad sense, so they regarded each other's outstanding figures as sages of the family.

In books such as "Surname Compilation" and "Xin Biao", the ancestors of the Longxi Li family and the Zhaojun Li family, the Qinghe Cui family and the Boling Cui family are also said to be brothers.

Therefore, no matter how successful the Wenxi Pei family was in the Tang Dynasty, they only had 17 prime ministers. However, the Cui family with the same surname had 27 prime ministers in the Tang Dynasty alone, including 15 from the Boling Cui family and 12 from the Qinghe Cui family.

The Cui family and the Li family have the same surname, forming a behemoth that dominates the county. Zheng and Lu have also benefited from generations of marriages with important people in their direct line. This is why these two families overwhelm Pei and Wei.

Xue and Liu are among the four surnames.

As for the decline of the Wang family in Taiyuan and being kicked out of the circle of friends, it is easy to understand. It is true that he and Cui Li Zhenglu were married to each other, but they were not married.

In the second year of Kaihuang's reign (582), on February 24, when spring was in full bloom, Cui Che, Minister Youcheng, and Li Xiong, Minister of War, rode on the banks of the Fen River.

"Mr. Li is good at shooting!"

Seeing Li Xiong's arrow hit the target, Cui Che, who was riding a horse and galloping behind him, praised loudly. He still has this ability after he is over sixty years old, so he naturally deserves this praise.

Cui Che immediately stepped on his stirrups, drew his bow and shot an arrow. Although he missed the target, he still hit the target.

Since Wang Shao took over the government affairs of Hebei Province, including the Hebei region, Cui Che, who only needed to be in charge of money and grain, was able to relax and handle the money and grain matters of Hebei Province in an orderly manner with a basic set of debit and credit accounting methods.

After all, Brother Che majored in financial management in college. Although people traveled through time before graduation, he still worked hard to pass the accounting qualification certificate exam when he was a sophomore.

This set of debit and credit accounting methods has been presented to Chang'an by Yang Guang. I think there will be a reward soon. As Yang Guang is the minister, he will undoubtedly get a share of Cui Che's contribution. He is a good leader.

When Cui Che was free, he often asked Yang Xuangan and Li Xiong for advice on riding and archery. Yun Wen and Yun Wu were what Brother Che imagined he would be like.

Li Xiong slowed down his horse, allowing Cui Che to ride alongside him.

"Zicheng is also very skilled."

"Che can only hit the target, how can he be as good as Li Gong."

Cui Che said modestly.

Li Xiong smiled and said:

"Stop complimenting me, Zicheng, and get off your horse and follow me."

The two of them got down, and the old man and the young man took their horses for a walk by the Fen River.

Usually Cui Che pesters Li Xiong to teach him riding and archery, but today it was the other party who took the initiative to make an appointment.

"Zicheng is thirteen now, right?"

Li Xiong suddenly asked.

When Cui Che heard this, his heart tightened. He knew that Li Xiong suddenly invited him out of the city with bad intentions. In the final analysis, he was just greedy for brother Che.

After Cui Dana was sent to Northern Xinjiang, Cui Che, who was kind to Cui Dana for his survival, also became the undisputed leader of the third house.

Previously, Cui Che was able to place high hopes on the third house because Cui Dana had a problem with his own ability.

As the important people in the direct line of the Boling Cui family and the Zhao County Li family have been married for generations, Li Xiong naturally wanted to marry his granddaughter.

There are three branches of the Li family in Zhaojun, namely Dongzu, Xizu and Nanzu. Fang can be expressed as the lower level of the ancestor.

Li Xiong was born in the direct lineage of the Western Ancestor and was the second son of Li Huibo, the governor of Shaanxi Province in the Eastern Wei Dynasty.

Li Huibo was the man who guarded the Hongnong granary during the severe drought in Guanzhong more than 40 years ago. Yuwentai raided Hongnong, Li Huibo died in the battle, and Li Xiong was taken captive to Guanxi. From a prisoner, he struggled to his current status, which shows his Talent.

"Just as Mr. Li said."

While Cui Che was answering, his mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about how to politely refuse without hurting Li Xiong's face.

He was not worried about the ugly appearance of the Li family daughter.

A piece of trivia: Li Changyi was once teased by Gao Cheng, a powerful official in the Eastern Wei Dynasty. Eventually, his husband rebelled at Hulao Pass, triggering the Mangshan War, which led to the near-annihilation of Yuwentai's Xianbei elite, and allowed the rise of Han military power in Kansai.

She is Li Xiong's sister.

The family inheritance is here. Although Li Xiong is old, judging from his facial features, he was still handsome when he was young. Even if the Li family's daughter cannot compare with Li Changyi's stunning beauty, she is not far behind.

But Brother Che has been waiting for Yuwen Eying to grow up and become Yang Lihua's son-in-law. No matter how beautiful he is in the world, he can't shake his determination.

See what it means to be dedicated and affectionate.

"Thirteen years old is not too young."

Li Xiong pondered and asked:

"Has Zicheng ever made a marriage contract?"

Cui Che pretended to be confused and said:

"The boy is busy with his career and has no time to think about marriage. I think my grandmother must have made arrangements."

Li Xiong took a deep look at Cui Che, gave a long laugh, and didn't press him any further.

In fact, he didn't have much expectations. Cui Che was able to take risks for the sake of fame at the age of eleven. His ambition was not small.

If he wants to be in a high position, the support of his in-law family is also a big help. Cui Che is not married yet, so he just wants to find an in-law family who can support him in his future.

Li Xiong knew that although he held an important position, he could not give Cui Che much help, so it was reasonable for him to be fooled.

The reason why I wanted to marry my granddaughter was because of my love for Cui Che's talents.

At the age of eleven, he was able to replace Cui Dana to manage the logistics for Yuchi Jiong. At the age of twelve, he assisted Yang Guang in governing Shanxi. He won praise from the people. He is a talented future prime minister and assistant. Now he is practicing martial arts diligently and is good at generals and generals. Xiang, this is the kind of person you are talking about.

However, the two families have been friends for generations, so their relationship will not be ruined because of this. What's more, Cui Che's mother was born in the ancestor of Zhao Li Dongzu and couldn't write two characters "Li" in one stroke. How could they become enemies without getting married?

The update time has been very late these days. I have to blame the eighteen-year-old uncle who is a book friend. He sent me a lot of information and papers. My previous knowledge of the Sui Dynasty was limited to history books, so I have been reading it these days.

Too much knowledge will make you dizzy.

This connection with the same surname is one of them, so I would like to share it with you.

The next chapter is in the early morning, but it will be very late, because I am hungry and have to have a midnight snack.
