665 Marriage
The housekeeper of the Cui family, named Cui Min, has been a servant of the Cui family for more than ten generations, and he is loyal to the Cui family, otherwise Cui Hao would not have sent him to see Han Yuan.
Although he came to Chang'an with Cui Hao, Cui Min's status among the Cui family's servants was very high, only slightly lower than the housekeeper of the Cui family's ancestral house.
Except for some core members of the Cui family, the rest of the Fangfang tribe were very polite when they saw him, which showed his status in the Cui family.
"Your Cui family is really good at using so many tricks. Do you really think His Majesty is a fool?"
It's fine if Cui Min doesn't say anything, but the more he talks about Han Yuan, the angrier he gets.
He was highly valued by Li Shimin, and he should have a bright future, but because of the Cui family's stupidity, he was exposed.
With Li Shimin's attitude towards the aristocratic family, Han Yuan could predict that his career as an official has come to an end, which makes him very angry.
The Han family is a Nanyang family, and it had nothing to do with the five surnames and Qiwang, but Li Shimin has been suppressing the family, and the Han family is also a family. In order to protect their own interests, they chose to join the Cui family.
"Master Han, it's true that the Cui family is wrong about this matter, but those people were not arranged by the Cui family, but by several other families." Cui Min explained.
On this point, Cui Min did not lie to Han Yuan.
Faced with Li Tai's threat, the family finally compromised.
The aristocratic family naturally understood what Li Tai was up to, but the aristocratic family also needed someone to control part of the imperial court's military power, so that the success rate would be high.
Although the aristocratic family has placed some people in the army, under Li Shimin's suppression, those people's positions are not high.
And those who secretly seek refuge in the aristocratic family, it is also difficult to win them over.
And Hou Junji became their only choice.
Therefore, after several discussions, they used some hidden ideas to help Hou Junji.
Those people didn't know the identity of the other party, and Li Shimin had already confirmed the generals to go out, if he missed this time, it would be difficult to find another opportunity later.
Therefore, after Han Yuan took the lead, they all voiced their support.
When they saw so many people agreeing with Han Yuan's words, they were a little confused.
However, the words have already been spoken, and even if they sense something is wrong, they can only continue.
In fact, this situation is also related to the fact that the aristocratic family is not really of one mind.
Among the five surnames, none of them were willing to reveal their hole cards to each other, causing those people to think that they were fighting alone, but they didn't expect that they had so many 'teammates'.
Han Yuan took a deep breath, the matter has come to this point, even getting angry is useless.
"I won't talk about the previous things. Now His Majesty has become suspicious of me. You dare to come to my door at this time. Are you trying to kill me?" Han Yuan said with a somewhat ugly face.
The Five Surnames and Seven Hopes are deeply ingrained and can fight against the emperor, but their Han family doesn't have the guts.
It is very easy for Li Shimin to deal with the Han family.
"Master Han, you should understand the reason why suspects don't need it. Even though Master Han has now disregarded his relationship with our Cui family, will His Majesty still use him as much as before?" Cui Min said.
Although Han Yuan took refuge in Cui's family, he never paid much attention to some things explained by Cui's family.
The Cui family saw that Han Yuan wanted to have both sides. Whether Li Shimin or the family had the upper hand, the Han family could benefit.
The Cui family didn't press too hard before, now that Han Yuan has been exposed, naturally they won't give him a chance to sway.
Cui Min's visit this time is actually to cut off Han Yuan's escape route.
Although he made some cover-ups when he came to Han's house, he couldn't hide it from Li Shimin's eyes and ears.
It can be said that Han Yuan had already fallen into the trap of the Cui family by letting him enter the Han family.
Han Yuan could have put on a show to dispel Li Shimin's suspicion, but Cui Min entered Han's house and stayed for such a long time, no matter what Han Yuan did, it was impossible to dispel Li Shimin's suspicion.
"You Cui family dare to plot against me?"
Han Yuan was in Gaozong's time, but he was a prime minister, so naturally it was not that simple, and he quickly figured out the Cui family's intentions.
Before he agreed to meet Cui Min, on the one hand, because of the sudden exposure, he was a little confused, and because he wanted to ask the family about his intentions, he did not expect to fall into the trap of the family.
"Master Han was joking. Since Master Han has been exposed, he naturally doesn't have to be as cautious as before. With the support of the Cui family, His Majesty will not do anything to him." Cui Min laughed.
Han Yuan almost vomited blood, indeed, even if Li Shimin knew that he was from the Cui family, he wouldn't do anything to him.
Li Shimin is suppressing the five surnames and seven wangs, but the world still needs people to govern, so he can't dismiss all the five surnames.
Li Shimin suppressed the five surnames and Qiwang, because otherwise the five surnames and Qiwang would take power.
Now in the three provinces and six departments of the Tang Dynasty, none of the chief officials had five surnames and seven Wangs, and most of the servants and doctors at the next level were from aristocratic families.
Even if Han Yuan is a member of the Cui family, as long as he doesn't make any serious mistakes, Li Shimin will definitely not deal with him.
However, Han Yuan became the minister of the Ministry of War in his 30s. He only needs to stay for a few more years, or become a minister, or enter the three provinces to familiarize himself with the work of the three provinces. It can be said that the future is unlimited. (The left and right servants of the Shangshu in the Tang Dynasty are actually the chief officials of the Shangshu Province. The chief officials of any department in the three provinces can be called prime ministers.)
"Of course, Mr. Han has made great efforts this time. Naturally, our Cui family will not let Mr. Han suffer. I heard that your son is already 13 years old. My lord has a daughter who is 11 years old this year. If Mr. Han doesn't mind, my lord is willing." We are good friends with Lord Han, Qin and Jin." Cui Min said.
The Han family is in Nanyang and has a high reputation. Marrying with the Han family will not only appease Han Yuan, but also gain the support of the Nanyang family.
"Is this true?" Han Yuan asked.
If he was definitely not willing to marry the Cui family before, marrying the Cui family is tantamount to being tied to the Cui family.
But now that it has been exposed, naturally there are not so many worries.
Marrying with the Cui family can further increase the influence of the Han family in Nanyang, which is still very beneficial to the Han family.
"This is what my adults said in person, so of course there can be no falsehood." Cui Min said.
Han Yuan's face softened a little, so it was somewhat comforting.
……
As soon as Cui Min entered Han's house, Li Shimin got the news. Although he didn't know what Cui Min and Han Yuan said, but Cui Min stayed in Han's house for nearly an hour before coming out, which can explain a lot of problems.
For Han Yuan to fall to the family, Li Shimin felt a little heartbroken.
Han Yuan has the talent of a prime minister, and Li Shimin is still planning to cultivate it, and leave it to Li Chengqian.
Unexpectedly, Han Yuan had joined the Cui family long ago.
Li Shimin's suppression of the five surnames and Qiwang does not mean that he is hostile to the aristocratic family.
It's because of the five surnames and seven wangs, which faintly threaten the imperial power, and Li Shimin has no intention of suppressing ordinary aristocratic families.
Those children from poor families, after becoming officials, will become a new family after several generations of development.
Li Shimin knew very well that the family cannot perish.
In fact, in the Song Dynasty, although the aristocratic families disappeared, this refers to those aristocratic families that have been passed down for thousands of years like the five surnames and seven wangs.
