"Mr. Cui, if we keep making trouble every day, will we be too anxious to force the person in the court? Then we will take action against us?" In a private room in the backyard of Zhengnan Building, Chang'an, a middle-aged man in his thirties and forties said to the old man with white hair and beard in front of him with a worried face.

"Fu'an, don't think that someone is the emperor, and this world belongs to him. You must know that our aristocratic family has been passed down for hundreds of years and has already dissolved its influence into every corner of the world. Therefore, at least half of the world belongs to our aristocratic families. As long as we unite, even the emperor will not dare to do anything to us!" The white-haired old man sitting upright spoke upright, but he took a sip of tea and his face was very relaxed, as if he was talking about something very ordinary.

If someone in the court is here, he may recognize him as an old man at a glance, because the storm in the court has also caused him during this period. This person is Cui Mingan, who was ranked first in the clan in the previous clan. Because he avoided Li Shimin's taboo, he was also called Cui Gan. Although he was just a fourth-rank Huangmen Minister on the surface, he was actually one of the most core figures in the Boling Cui family.

Cui Gan was born with a very prominent background. He was the General of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Grand Master of the Cavalry, the Zuo Guanglu Dafu, and the Sansi Department of Yitong. Cui Xiaofen, the Minister of Personnel, was his great-grandfather, and his grandfather was the General of the Sui Dynasty, Cui Xuanyou, the Ming Duke of Ji County, and his father Cui Shuzhong was also named the Minister of the Yu Ministry and the Duke of Gu'an County. Cui Gan himself was also very talented. He has been serving in the three provinces since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. Now he is even more a member of the Huangmen, who is only one level lower than the real prime minister. In fact, if Li Shimin had not intentionally suppressed the influence of the aristocratic family, Cui Gan would have long been granted the prime minister with his ability.

With his prominent background and extraordinary talent, few people in aristocratic families can compare with Cui Gan. Therefore, when Gao Shilian and others compiled the clan, Cui Gan was ranked first, and even the royal family and the foreign relatives were ranked behind him. This shows the influence of this person.

However, later Li Shimin forced Cui Gan to be the third-class with the imperial power, and the royal family and the foreign relatives were first and second-class respectively, which made Cui Gan very angry. Moreover, this was not only Cui Gan's business, but also Li Shimin's suppression and contempt of the aristocratic family. This led to the aristocratic family uniting to fight back against Li Shimin. Until now, there was still a quarrel in the court.

Although Cui Gan was outside the situation and never even participated in the quarrels in the court, those who knew the inside story knew that Cui Gan was actually the representative of the united united by several major families. For example, in the room he is in now, in addition to him, there are two middle-aged people. The middle-aged man who was just talking was named Cui Fu'an. This person was from the Cui family in Qinghe. Because Boling and Cui family in Qinghe were originally a family, Cui Fu'an was still his junior.

"Mr. Cui's words make great sense. The world is where the royal family sits with our aristocratic family. Even the emperor can't touch us!" At this moment, the middle-aged man with long beard sitting opposite Cui Fu'an also spoke. However, when he said this, he pondered for a moment and said again, "But we can't be too careless. After all, the emperor holds military power. If he really forces him to use force, we will suffer the loss then!"

I saw that this middle-aged man with a long beard is of medium figure, ordinary appearance, but his demeanor is very calm, especially his eyes are extremely bright, and he is obviously a very smart character. This person's name is Zheng Zhong, and he was born in the Zheng family of Xingyang.

It is worth mentioning that Li Jiancheng's wife Zheng Guanyin is Zheng Zhong's pro-party building. He is also Li Chengdao's cousin. When Li Jiancheng was alive, the Zheng family in Xingyang had a close relationship with the Eastern Palace. Unfortunately, Li Jiancheng died later. The Zheng family of Xingyang's many years of investment was wasted. Although they were very annoyed and even used some means to save them, they had no effect. Instead, they were suppressed by Li Shimin from many parties, which greatly damaged their vitality. Fortunately, if their foundation was deep enough, they had recovered again in recent years.

"If it were our Majesty who had just ascended the throne, I might have had this kind of worry. However, he has been in the past ten years of ascending the throne and has spent countless efforts on the world, which has made the world become the current situation. Our aristocratic families are even more integrated with the whole world. If he really dares to use force, it would be equivalent to killing himself. Even if he really has this determination, he will probably end up in a chaos in the world in the end. So I bet that he would not dare to use force at all, because he was reluctant to break the peace that he had finally won!" Cui Gan is worthy of being a scheming person, and he hit the nail on Li Shimin at once.

"Listen to Mr. Cui's words made me suddenly enlightened!" Cui Fu'an couldn't help but stroking his palm and laughed. He and Zheng Zhong had such concerns before, but now he heard Cui Gan's analysis, he suddenly dispelled their worries. At the same time, he couldn't help but admire Cui Gan's true gaze, no wonder he could sit in his current seat.

"But even if Your Majesty dare not use force, now he has been constantly demoting officials from aristocratic families to Chang'an. There are several people in our Zheng family. Judging from Your Majesty's intention, he doesn't seem to be planning to stop. It doesn't seem useful to just argue in the court?" Zheng Zhong frowned again and said.

"Hahaha~ Xingmou, you should look at it longer-term. More than half of the officials in the court are related to us. I don't believe that Your Majesty dares to demote them all out of the capital. Moreover, the imperial examination is the channel for us to deliver officials to the court. If he demoted one, we can train ten in a few years. And even if we demoted officials from the capital, as long as we move in the future, we can easily transfer people back. Unless Your Majesty demoted all the civil and military officials, he will govern the world by himself!" Cui Gan laughed and said again, with a different arrogance in his laughter. Of course, the most important thing is that he has this confidence.

Xingmou is the name of Zheng Zhong. After hearing Cui Gan's analysis, he also showed a sudden expression. Sometimes he was really dissatisfied. Zheng Zhong's long-term vision is indeed not comparable to those of them. The so-called gains and losses of not counting on a city or a land is probably what Zheng Zhong said.

However, just as Cui Gan finished speaking, he suddenly heard a burst of rapid footsteps from outside. Then a manager next to Cui Gan walked in quickly, then leaned in Cui Gan's ear and whispered a few words, and at the same time put a book in front of Cui Gan. As a result, Zheng Zhong and Cui Fu'an next to him saw the three big words "Clan" on the cover of the book at a glance.
