Li Chengdao took two bites of rice and saw that no one was moving.

He had no choice but to comfort him:"Grandpa, uncle, don't think too much!"

"Today is a family dinner, don’t mention other messy things"

"But what I can promise you is that as long as the Zheng family in Xingyang does not let me down, I will definitely not let you down!"

Li Chengdao's words were sincere, his eyes were sincere, and he looked like a junior talking to an elder.

Hearing this, Zheng Jibo and Zheng Yuanzhou relaxed a little.

They also understood Li Chengdao's attitude towards the wealthy family.

The two quickly stood up and held hands."Thank you, Your Majesty! Li

Chengdao pretended to be sulky and said,"We're all talking about a family dinner. Why are you so polite?""

"Sit down quickly, it’s not easy for our family to have a happy meal! Don’t spoil the fun! Zheng

Guanyin also breathed a sigh of relief and said continuously:

"Yes Yes Yes!"

"Family, let’s eat! Have a meal!"

A few people slowly returned to the previous atmosphere and started eating and chatting.

It was as if nothing had happened.........

Tiance Mansion, living room.

The two heads of the Cui family and people from other aristocratic families sat and waited for a long time, but they did not see the emperor summoning them.

They were inevitably a little anxious. They all raised their necks and stared at the door.

Cui Xun was the first to lose his composure. He stood up, just about to get angry.

Suddenly he remembered that this place was not his Qinghe Cui family, so he suppressed his anger.

"It's been two hours, why hasn't the emperor summoned us yet? Cui

Ju pondered,"Is the emperor busy with other things?""

"No matter what he is busy with, the two heads of our Cui family are here in person. He must meet him, right?"

Cui Xun spoke so eloquently again that Cui Ju was so frightened that he wanted to sew his mouth shut.

People from other aristocratic families were also impatient, but they were not as bold as them and dared to talk about the emperor directly.

At this time, the Li family in Longxi The clan elder asked:"Are you sure that the emperor knows that we are coming?"

Everyone's expressions froze and they didn't answer.

Cui Xun also looked stunned,"My identity is different from others!"

"The officials of the Ministry of Rites already knew about us when they registered us, so they should have reported it to the emperor!"

"Then why hasn't it been summoned yet? Didn't they report it? Cui Ju was puzzled.

Cui Xun was angry and said,"I'll go find them!""

After that, he went out directly, and everyone hurriedly followed.

When he arrived at the auditorium, he found that it was crowded with people, including all kinds of dignitaries.

When they saw them coming, they all stood up and said hello to them.

"Cui Gong!"

"Long time no see Mr. Cui!"

"Mr. Cui also came to pay homage to Emperor Xiaokang?"

"Mr. Cui, is he free in the evening? The lower official wants to invite Cui Gong to his residence for a gathering!"

Cui Xun looked proud. This is the proper attitude towards their first family!

He nodded and talked to a few familiar people, but the others ignored them.

"Be polite, be polite!"

"Besides, I still have some unfinished business!"

Cui Xun walked proudly through the crowd, and everyone showed envy and reverence.

During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the prestige of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes reached its peak.

The people of this era all wanted to deal with them.

Even if they were The new nobles of the imperial court, the number one scholar, are also looking forward to getting married to them.

As the saying goes,"I would rather marry a daughter from a fifth family than join the emperor's family."

The prestige of the five surnames and seven hopes is even higher than that of the royal family for most people.

Even if Li Yuan wanted to marry them back then, he ended up marrying a side daughter.

Li Jiancheng also married the legitimate daughter of the Zheng family in Xingyang by chance.

This is why, even though he was inferior to Li Shimin in military and political affairs, he could still The reason for standing firm.

Behind every aristocratic family, there are countless relationships and interests, and the radiation range covers many states and counties.

The group walked into the inner room and met Wei Zheng and Tang Jian, the Minister of Rites.

Cui Xun and the two We only met once, but they came up to talk to each other familiarly.

"Lord Wei, Lord Tang, long time no see!"

When the two of them saw that it was them, they quickly returned the favor.

"Cui Gong! Guys, please come in quickly!"

The two of them stood at the door and welcomed Cui Xun and his party in.

Wei Zheng's mind was racing. This old man was not a good man.

His Majesty had refused their request to see them before. It seems that this is an investigation!

And Tang Tang Jian was himself a subordinate of King Qin Li Shimin.

He knew about Cui and Li Shimin, and he was even more panicked at the moment.

He had finally saved his life from Li Chengdao, but he didn't want to just explain it here!

Tang Jian rolled his eyes and immediately He thought of a countermeasure.

Although he was the Minister of Rites, the court was now in charge of the cabinet. With Wei Zheng here, he could just slip away.

After Cui Xun and others sat down, he stood up and apologized.

"Cui Gong, all clan elders and subordinates are still going to host the memorial ceremony."

"Since Mr. Wei Ge is here, I will not accompany you all. I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Cui Xun and others didn't care. Anyway, they were looking for Wei Zheng, so they waved to let Tang Jian go down.

When Tang Jian went out, Wei Zheng screened the other people in the room away and looked at Cui Xun.

"I wonder why Mr. Cui came here to see Mr. Wei?"

Cui Xun didn't hide it and spoke directly.

"Mr. Wei, I have been waiting here for more than two hours, but I still haven’t been summoned by Your Majesty."

"I came here to ask Mr. Wei, what is the reason for this?"

Wei Zheng looked indifferent, as expected!

If His Majesty refuses to see them, then it must be their own problem!

It can't be that His Majesty did not have time to see them in order to compensate the Zheng family in Xingyang!

Wei Zheng thought for a while and looked at Cui Xun Several people

"Mr. Cui, if you want to see His Majesty, can you report it?".........
