Chapter 1222 The decline of the Cui family

"I thank His Highness for his kindness, but His Highness is no longer what he used to be, and my Cui family is no longer what it used to be."

Cui Sanye said with a wry smile, this is indeed a fact. In the past, the Cui family was the largest family in the world. Whether they were officials or ordinary people, they would give a thumbs up when they mentioned the Cui family. Now, Although we also know that the Cui family is the most powerful family in the world, there are still a few people who say that they are the largest family in the world.

"Other changes don't care about the friendship between us. I remember it very clearly. Back then, when I was just a child, Mr. Cui was able to cooperate with me and help me do so many things. This kind of kindness I will keep this in mind."

Li Xiang's words made Mr. Cui burst into tears. Speaking of it, Mr. Cui was also an experienced man. His emotions could not fluctuate so much. But Li Xiang was not ordinary either. He was now the most noble person in the Tang Dynasty. No one, including those princes, can surpass Li Xiang. It is really not easy for people to still remember the friendship of the past years.

"Your Highness, please come inside..."

Someone behind him gently pulled Mr. Cui. Mr. Cui then remembered that everyone was still standing at the door. How could the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty have this opportunity to communicate? It was not easy for him to ask Changsun Wuji for this. I just asked for it. No matter what the reason is, it will be even more difficult to have such an opportunity next time.

Li Xiang has been here three times before, but he never sat on the main seat when he came before. Generally speaking, the main seat is empty. Li Xiang and Cui Sanye sat on both sides of the main seat, but this time Mr. Cui insisted on letting Li Xiang sit on the main seat no matter what, and Mr. Cui did not dare to sit too close.

It was now time to eat, so the two stopped chatting here. After drinking a cup of tea, Li Xiang followed Mr. Cui to the dining room next to him.

The Cui family mainly ran the grain business, and later they also ran some restaurants with Li Xiang, so there were indeed some good cooks in the family. However, Li Xiang was not that particular about food. As long as you cooked the food , just don’t let me have diarrhea after eating it.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, all the praise that should be praised has been finished, and the friendship in the past has been almost recalled. Li Xiang knew that it was time to talk about serious matters, and he should not just talk about what he should be grateful for. superior.

"come on."

Li Xiang originally thought that Mr. Cui San would make some request, but who knew that Cui San also patted his palm, and three girls came out. Are they preparing to give him women like other big families?

Just when Li Xiang wanted to refuse, Li Xiang suddenly thought of something, and that was Bai Jiaqiu, the daughter of the Cui family.

In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, it was a very honorable thing for anyone, including the royal family, to be married to the five surnames Qiwang. That's why the Cui family's daughter asked for help from all the families. Li Shimin was so busy For a long time, there was finally no way to marry their children, and now the Cui family has been reduced to sending people into the palace.

"Third Master, what do you mean by this? Don't you know that this king has rejected many people's ideas since he returned to the capital?"

Li Xiang didn't even look at the three girls. No matter how beautiful the girls were, Li Xiang was not prepared to accept them. Although after the Tiance Admiral's Mansion was opened, Li Xiang wanted to make up for the other two equal wives, and there were also two concubines. The sixth, Liangyuan, and more than twenty other women with official positions.

Therefore, the dignitaries in Chang'an City also took notice of the news. They all saw Cheng Yaojin's treatment. This is also the best shortcut. Last time, we didn't have Cheng Yaojin's eye poison, so we let him take the lead. Now we all also I saw it, so this opportunity must not be let go. This is what they all thought, including Mr. Cui.

"Of course I have heard about your highness's affairs, but these three are all daughters of our Cui family. The most important thing is that the three of them are brothers from the same mother."

When Mr. Cui said this, Li Xiang looked up. At this glance, Li Xiang was shocked. The three girls looked like pink and jade bracelets. The most important thing was that all three of them looked so good. There are not many that are exactly the same. Even with the development of the Internet in the future, such triplets are very rare. The most important thing is that they are still so beautiful.

Seeing Li Xiang's reaction, Cui Sanye knew that today's matter had basically become a reality. To be honest, Cui Sanye was shocked when he first met him, even though it was the Cui family. Although she is a collateral woman, she is at least a member of the Cui family.

Everyone is a man, well-informed, and all have such eyes, not to mention ordinary people, so Cui San dares to conclude that as long as Li Xiang sees the appearance of these three people, he will never refuse. of.

In the Tang Dynasty, when fatness was regarded as a beauty, the three girls were all extremely thin, but they were very plump where they should be fat. Mr. Cui had to put a lot of effort into finding a woman for Li Xiang. of.

If we don't investigate clearly, according to some social customs, of course we will find three fat girls for Li Xiang, but Li Xiang doesn't like them at all. If they really send them, let alone working for their Cui family, it will be very dangerous. Maybe it will be destroyed directly.

"Third Master is not just giving me a gift, he must have other requests, right?"

Li Xiang quickly calmed himself down. It's no wonder that Li Xiang had such an idea. It wasn't that Li Xiang couldn't move his legs after seeing a woman, but that three triplets who were so beautiful were the most beautiful in any era. Extremely rare.

"Your Highness is joking. The common people don't ask for anything else now. They just want the Cui family to live in peace. Now the Cui family is also preparing to withdraw from officialdom. They just want the juniors to live a good life. As for other things, the Cui family really has nothing to do. After considering so much, I hope His Highness can give us a word."

Third Master Cui let out a sigh of relief. Li Xiang originally thought that Third Master Cui wanted to revitalize the Cui family, but he did not expect that Third Master Cui was already a little discouraged. He also understood what the court was doing.

If Li Xiang is in power in the future, he will never allow any big noble family to rise. Moreover, Li Xiang is better at balancing than others. If you want to realize the glory of the Cui family in Li Xiang's hands, then basically There is no chance.

The Cui family had done many things to offend the court in the past. Now Mr. Cui is selling himself to Li Xiang just because he wants to get a word from Li Xiang to help the Cui family have a good death. As for the rest, he doesn't ask for anything else.

This is also a man who knows how to advance and retreat and is also cunning... (End of this chapter)
