Chapter 677 Famous Daughter
Qin Lang was also a little surprised, secretly digesting this shocking news.
"This martial arts Su family is not simple. Although it can't be compared with the five surnames and seven surnames, and it can't be compared with the six surnames of Guanlong, it can be regarded as one of the best in Guanzhong."
"I've never heard of it." Qin Guozhong said.
Qin Lang just smiled, "Although Su Quan is just a secretary, his eldest brother Su Xu is one of the eighteen scholars of the Qin Palace and is currently the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. He also has another identity, that is, the son-in-law of the tenth daughter of the Supreme Emperor Nanchang Princess Captain, he is the saint's brother-in-law."
"That's not enough, right?"
"The martial arts of the Su family can be traced back to the Han and Wei Dynasties, from the Northern Zhou Dynasty to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Su Chuo, Su Wei, Su Kui, Su Xu, Su Wei was one of the four nobles in the Sui Dynasty, powerful for a while, and a famous prime minister."
Su Wei's father is Su Chuo, Minister of Duzhi of the Western Wei Dynasty, and his father-in-law is Yu Wenhu, a power minister in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Ups and downs, known as the tumbler in the political arena. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, he was over eighty years old. He also served as a grand teacher to the emperor of Luoyang, and later attached himself to Wang Shichong. Therefore, when he came to Chang'an to vote for Li Yuan and his son, he was not interviewed. Although he was driven back to his hometown, his martial arts After all, the Su family is also a famous family in Guanzhong County.
His eldest grandson Su Xu became one of the eighteen scholars of Li Shimin's Qin Palace, and his second grandson Su Dan also entered the court as an official. Su Xu later served as the eldest princess of Nanchang, the tenth daughter of the Supreme Emperor, and is now serving as the servant of the Ministry of Officials. It is known that the status of the Su family is still very high, otherwise it would be impossible for the princess to be the servant.
Su Chuo and Su Wei and his sons are very talented people. It was Su Chuo who helped Yu Wentai to reform the system, create accounting, household registration and other laws, streamline redundant officials, and open farms. The Western Wei Dynasty, which had the least power, was able to catch up from behind.
Su Chuo and brother Cong were called the Second Su at that time, and they held important positions, which won the trust of the Yuwen family.
Su Wei lost his father at the age of five, but he was mature at a young age. Yu Wenhu, a power minister, liked the fame of the Su family and Su Wei's talent, and married his daughter to him. Later, he was forced by his uncle to go down the mountain to become an official, but he lived in seclusion in the mountain temple and devoted himself to studying, and he would not accept any official title granted by the court.
It wasn't until Emperor Wu came to power that he officially went down the mountain.
When Yang Jian wanted to replace Zhou, Su Wei fled back to his hometown. Later, Yang Jian became the emperor, and he was invited back to the court after several conquests. , and soon worshiped him as the prime minister of Nayan.
Su Wei was called one of the four nobles by the people at that time, with the five important positions of Nayan and Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Dali Qing, Jing Zhaoyin, and Yushi Doctor.
Su Wei's son, Su Kui, was famous all over the world when he was young, attracting followers, and famous people all over the world agreed, but it was a pity that he died early.
Su Wei was one of the five nobles when he came to Yangdi Dynasty.
Su Wei has a noble family background and outstanding abilities, but he is cowardly. Therefore, although both dynasties have won the trust and reuse of the emperor, they have no principles. When Li Yuan was in the Sui Dynasty, although he was a relative of the state, his official position was average. Seeing Su Wei paid a big visit, he looked down on him in private. So when Su Wei was over 80 years old and Wang Shichong died, he came to Chang'an to seek an official position, which made Li Yuan feel ashamed .
But don't be ashamed, the reputation of the Su family is still very strong, not to mention that since the Western Wei Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Su family's reputation has become more prosperous. There are many talents.
Su Xu honored Princess Nanchang as Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Su Quan served as Secretary Cheng. This is already very good.
Although the Su family is definitely not comparable to the five surnames and seven surnames, and the six surnames in Guanzhong, the martial arts Su family can be regarded as a famous family.
Qin Lang could only smile helplessly, he didn't have much to say about this kind of thick-skinned guy who competed with the city wall.
No matter how Li Shimin picks, it is impossible to pick the Qin family.
These days, the nobles are vying to marry the famous nobles, especially the upstarts whose ancestors were of ordinary background. Although the Li Tang royal family claimed to be the descendant of Lao Tzu, they also called themselves the Longxi Li family with five surnames and seven families.
But the problem is, in fact, people with five surnames and seven families have never recognized this. Although Longxi Li is a bit special, it is different from Xingyang Zheng, Qinghe, Cui Zhaojun Li and others. The scope is very large, this Longxi Li family includes many Li families.
Li Shimin's great-grandfather, Li Hu, was just a shabby soldier who settled down in Daibei. Later, he fought a hundred battles to create an eight-pillar country, so he attached himself to the Li family of Longxi, and even later recognized his ancestor as Xiliang Taizu Wu Zhao. Wang Lihao is their ancestor.
But in fact, in the chaotic wars of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, many shabby soldiers like Li Hu who became monks did not have any noble ancestors. Most of them were lucky. The noble, also became a military noble.
The five surnames in Shandong looked down on Li Yuan and his son, saying that they just took advantage of the opportunity in the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and that they were not the Li family in Longxi at all. .
But anyway, the Li family always claims to be Longxi Li, and is one of the five surnames and seven families. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the Li family's first choice for marriage is the five surnames and seven clans, such as the king of Taiyuan, the Zheng family of Xingyang, and so on. When Li Yuan was the Duke of Tang in the Sui Dynasty, when he was the prefect of Xingyang, he had a heated fight with Zheng of Xingyang who took the initiative to harass the relationship. After great difficulty, he ordered Zheng Guanyin of the Zheng family of Xingyang to be his daughter-in-law for his eldest son Li Jiancheng.
Li Yuan's younger sister also married into the Taiyuan Wang family later, just as a sequel.
Later, he wanted to ask Li Shimin and Li Yuanji for another girl with five surnames, but he refused. Li Jiancheng was the eldest son of Tang Guogong, but Li Shimin and Li Yuanji were only the second and fourth sons. Why should they marry you. If you can marry one, you will save face.
Li Yuan had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, and chose Henan Changsun and Hongnong Yang.
Li Shimin has always been very dissatisfied with the five surnames and seven families, which is also a reason. After Li Tang was established, the five surnames and seven families all went to support Jiancheng, which also made him hold grudges.
Now if Li Shimin is willing to take the initiative to propose marriage to the seven families of the five surnames and ask to marry a woman of the five surnames as the princess, this matter can be accomplished. After all, the five surnames are willing to marry their daughters into his palace as concubines, but Li Shimin is not willing to take the initiative to concubine. This head, Na Zhuang is still different from the Crown Princess.
The six surnames of Jingzhaowei Duyang or Hedong Liu Peixue are undoubtedly better choices than the Wugong Su family. Why did Li Shimin choose the Wugong Su family?
Qin Lang also didn't quite understand this point.
Could it be that Li Shimin’s idea is the same as Zhu Yuanzhang’s. In order to avoid foreign relatives interfering in politics, he deliberately excluded those top aristocrats, as well as the prime ministers and military upstarts?
But no matter how you choose, the Qin family has no way.
The Qin family's family background is not enough. On the other hand, the Qin family has a strong influence in the military, and the emperor may not be willing to give the Qin family the opportunity to produce a princess.
"I think my sisters are very good, they are completely worthy of a princess."
Qin Lang just chuckled, not to mention that Qin Qiong's daughters are still young, just because they are all concubines, there is no chance of becoming a princess at all.
