For Qinghe Cui’s gift...

Li Er really didn't want to accept it, but he had to accept it.

The reasons for not wanting to accept it and the reasons for "having to accept it" are actually the same.

The Cui family of Qinghe is one of the five surnames and Qiwang.

A thousand-year-old family that has been around since the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

But at the same time, the Cui family is the same as the entire other aristocratic families with the fifth surname and Qiwang.

They are not his Li Er's people at all.

Instead, he was with Li Yuan, Li Yuanji, and Li Jiancheng.

This is also the biggest conflict between Li Er and his father, and the most critical reason why he has placed Li Yuan under house arrest so far.

…

In the past, when Li Yuan established the Tang Dynasty,

All grassroots creations are always afraid that the newly unified world will follow in the footsteps of the Sui Dynasty.

Li Yuan, who felt insecure, chose to cooperate with various wealthy families.

Therefore, in the seventh year of Wude, two years before the bloody battle of Xuanwu Sect, Li Yuan restored the ninth-grade Zhongzheng system, which cut off the chance of promotion for the poor men, and at the same time increased the rewards greatly. He once made a wish in one day, and dictated two

More than a thousand people.

In Li Yuan’s view,

As long as I honor and favor these aristocratic families, I won't provoke rebellion again.

But Li Shimin's view is completely opposite.

If you treat them with great honor and favor, will they not cause rebellion?

Is Wei Wu not good enough to the Sima family?

It can be said that the two Jin Dynasties treated the aristocratic families like no one before or since.

The results of it?

Guo Zuo was not even fifty years old, so he just went south in his clothes?

So Li Shimin came up with a bold idea.

After all, the people on his side were all from poor families like Qin Qiong and Yu Chigong, or Wei Zheng, like Shanye people from the fringes of the literati circle.

I didn’t rely on these aristocratic families in the first place,

If we don't rely on them to conquer the country, why should we give them a good look?

But if he thought this way, he would naturally not be pleased by Li Yuan.
