Chapter 676
Qin Lang was also a little surprised and secretly digested the amazing news.
"This martial arts Su family is not simple. Although it cannot be compared with the five and seven families, nor can it be compared with the six surnames of Guanlong, it is also one of the best famous families in Guanzhong."
"I haven't heard of it." Qin State Zhong said.
Qin Lang just smiled, "Although Su Jian is just a secretary, his elder brother Su Xu is one of the eighteen scholars of the Qin Palace and is currently the Minister of Personnel. He also has another identity, namely the son-in-law of the eldest princess of Nanchang, the tenth daughter of the Supreme Emperor. He is the saint's brother-in-law."
"If that's the case, it's not enough, right?"
"The family background 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 the four nobles of the Sui Dynasty, and had a strong power for a while, and was famous prime minister."
Su Wei's father was Su Chuo, the Minister of Duzhi of the Western Wei Dynasty, and his father-in-law was Yuwen Hu, a powerful minister of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. He started his family with the King of Jingzhao, married the Xinxing Princess, supported Yang Jian to establish the Sui Dynasty. In the Sui Dynasty, he was the prime minister of Yang Jian and Yang Guang and his son, and he complained several times, claiming to be the tumultuous political figure. By the end of the Sui Dynasty, he was over 80 years old and served as the Grand Tutor for Emperor Taizhu of Luoyang, and later he also relied on Wang Shichong. Therefore, when he came to Chang'an to join Li Yuan and his son, he was not received. Although he was driven back to his hometown, the Wugong Su family was also a famous family in Guanzhong County.
His eldest grandson Su Xu was one of Li Shimin's 18 scholars in the Qin Palace, and his second grandson Su Jian also joined the court as an official. Su Xu later became the eldest princess of Nanchang, the tenth daughter of the Supreme Emperor, and now serves as the Minister of Personnel. He knows that the Su family's status is still very high, otherwise it would be impossible to be the Princess and be the Minister of the Secretariat.
Su Chuo and Su Wei and his son were both very talented. At that time, Yuwen Tai was helped by Su Chuo, and he helped reform the system, create accounting, household registration and other laws, streamlined redundant officials, and opened military farms, so that the Western Wei, who was originally the least powerful among the Three Kingdoms, came to the forefront later.
Su Chuo and his conqueror were called Er Su at that time, and they held important positions and were deeply trusted by the Yuwen family.
Su Wei lost his father at the age of five, but he became mature. The powerful minister Yuwen Hu took a fancy to the reputation of the Su family and Su Wei's talents and married his daughter to him. However, Su Wei had long seen that Yuwen Hu was domineering and could not last long, so he fled into the mountains. Later, his uncle forced him to go down the mountain to serve as an official, but he lived in seclusion in the mountain temple and devoted himself to studying, and did not accept any official titles granted by the court.
It was not until Emperor Wu took power that he officially went down the mountain.
When Yang Jian was about to take over Zhou Dynasty, Su Wei fled to his hometown again. Later, Yang Jian became the emperor and invited him back to the court several times. He appointed him as the crown prince Shaobao and Taichangqing, and posthumously named his father as Duke of Pi. Soon he accepted the position of prime minister.
Su Wei once served as the Minister of Personnel, Minister of Personnel, Minister of Dali, Yin of Jingzhao, and Censor, and was called one of the four nobles at that time.
Su Wei's son Su Kui was famous all over the world when he was young, attracting his disciples and all the famous scholars in the world agreed, but unfortunately he died early later.
When Su Wei arrived at Emperor Yang, he was one of the five nobles.
Su Wei had a noble family background and outstanding ability, but his personality was cowardly. Therefore, although both dynasties were trusted and valued by the emperor, they had no principles. During the Sui Dynasty, although Li Yuan was a relative of the country, he had an average official position. Seeing that Su Wei received a great ceremony to worship him, he looked down on him in private. So later, Su Wei was in his eighties and Wang Shichong came to Chang'an to seek official positions after his destruction, which made Li Yuan feel very ashamed.
But the reputation of the Su family is still very strong, not to mention that since the Western Wei and Northern Zhou dynasties, the Su family has become more famous. After all, Su Chuo and Su Wei's father are all important officials, and the Su family has many talents from generation to generation.
Su Xu was the Princess Nanchang, the Minister of Personnel, and Su Jian served as Secretary-General, which was already very good.
Although the Su family is definitely not as good as the five surnames and seven surnames and the six surnames in Guanzhong, the Wugong Su family is also considered a famous family.
"It turns out that he was the great-granddaughter of the prime ministers of the two dynasties of the Sui Dynasty, but why can't we choose our girls? I think we are all good!" Yang Guozhong, who is as fat as a pig, said one by one, and one by one, as if he was really from the Qin family.
Qin Lang could only smile helplessly. He had nothing to say about such a thick-skinned guy who was comparable to the city wall.
No matter how much Li Shimin chooses, he will never be able to pick the Qin family.
These days, the nobles are competing to marry famous families, especially those upstarts with ordinary ancestors. Although the Li Tang royal family claimed to be Laozi, they also called themselves the Li family of Longxi from the five surnames and seven families.
But the problem is that in fact, the five surnames and seven families have never recognized this. Although the Longxi Li family is a bit special, it is different from the Li family in Xingyang, Zheng, Qinghe, Cui Zhao County, etc., the others are all in one county and a family, but the Longxi Li family has a large range. The Longxi Li family includes multiple Li families.
Li Shimin's great-grandfather Li Hu was just a desolate military man in Daibei. Later, he fought for a hundred battles to create an eight-pillar country, so he agreed that he was the Li clan of Longxi. Later, he even recognized his ancestors and pursued his ancestors and said that Li Yang, the Taizu of Xiliang, was their ancestor.
But in fact, in the chaos of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, there were many military men like Li Hu who settled down and became monks. They did not have any noble family backgrounds. Most of them were lucky. They had a life of a hundred battles for the rest of their lives. After surviving, they were promoted to the title and became military aristocrats.
The five surnames in Shandong looked down on Li Yuan and his son, saying that they just took the opportunity to get a bargain in the chaotic times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and said that they were not the Li family in Longxi at all, but were just a family in Zhao County that year. Later, they went to Daibei to join the army and started their own business.
But no matter what, the Li family always claims to be Li in Longxi, and is one of the five surnames and seven families. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the first choice for the Li family is to marry five surnames and seven sects, such as the King of Taiyuan and the Zheng family of Xingyang, etc. When Li Yuan was still the Duke of Tang in the Sui Dynasty, he took the initiative to disturb the relationship with Zheng in Xingyang when he was the prefect of Xingyang. Finally, he appointed Zheng Guanyin of the Zheng family of Xingyang as his daughter-in-law for his eldest son Li Jiancheng.
Li Yuan's sister later married into the Wang family of Taiyuan, but she was just a successor.
Later, when he wanted to ask Li Shimin and Li Yuanji for another daughter of five surnames, he refused to agree. Li Jiancheng was the eldest son of the Duke of Tang's Mansion, but Li Shimin and Li Yuanji were just the fourth sons. Why should they marry your family? If you can marry one, you will be considered as giving face.
Li Yuan had no choice but to settle for the second best, and chose the Changsun clan of Henan and the Yang clan of Hongnong clan.
Li Shimin was always very dissatisfied with the five surnames and seven families, which was also a reason. Later, after the establishment of Li Tang, all the five surnames and seven families supported Jiancheng, which made him hold a grudge.
If Li Shimin is willing to take the initiative to propose marriage to the seven families of five surnames and families and marry the daughter of the five surnames as the crown princess, this will be accomplished. After all, all the five surnames are willing to marry their daughter into his palace as a concubine, but Li Shimin is unwilling to take the initiative to lower his head, and taking makeup is still different from the crown princess.
The six surnames of Jingzhao Wei Du Yang or Hedong Liu Pei Xue are undoubtedly better choices than the martial arts Su family. Why did Li Shimin choose the martial arts Su family?
Qin Lang doesn't know much about this either.
Could it be that Li Shimin's idea is the same as Zhu Yuanzhang. In order to avoid foreign relatives interfering in politics, he had to deliberately eliminate those top aristocratic families, as well as prime ministers and military upstarts in the court?
But no matter how you choose, the Qin family has no way.
The Qin family has a short family background. 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 become a crown princess.
"I think my girls are all very good, they are completely good enough for the princess."
