Chapter 394 Big Pot, I'm Heartbroken
"W-what are you doing?"
Choi Shin-ki muttered to himself, "Father, why don't you ask His Majesty to bestow a marriage upon me, Princess Qinghe?"
But what awaited him was still a brutal beating.
And it was Wang who did it...
She grabbed Choi Shin-ki by the ear and lifted him up.
Then he grabbed the shoe at his feet and gave Choi Shin-ki a good beating on the butt!
"You brat, of all people, why do you have to like a royal child?"
"Do you even know that you are a descendant of the Cui family?"
Do you know what the Cui family represents?
"If I don't beat you until you repent today... I'll let your dad keep beating you!"
Cui Yixuan put down the rattan cane in his hand.
really……
Having a virtuous wife makes life much easier for me.
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts..."
Choi Shin-ki yelled, "Mother, I'm an official now! If you keep hitting me like this, how will I save face?"
Snap snap snap snap...
Wang got more and more into smoking.
What kind of face do you want?
"Do you know that marrying a princess will cause the entire Cui family to lose face!"
Choi Shin-ki was beaten and screamed loudly.
But Wang showed no mercy whatsoever.
"My lord, it's getting late."
"You still have matters to attend to in court; leave this brat to me."
After smoking for a while, Wang turned to look at Cui Yixuan.
"Um."
Cui Yixuan glanced at the sky before nodding: "The marriage alliance with the Zheng family is imperative. He must go to the Zheng family to apologize this afternoon."
Cui Yixuan considered many things.
The eldest son of the Cui family seems impressive!
However, the internal struggles within the Cui clan of Qinghe were also intense.
With her son's impulsive personality, it's hard to say whether he'll be able to live a peaceful life...
But after marrying the eldest daughter of the Zheng family, even if Choi Shin-ki becomes mediocre and lives a carefree life, there will be no problem.
The most important point is...
A marriage alliance with the Zheng family would solidify his prestige within the Cui clan of Qinghe!
"I understand, my husband, you can rest assured..."
After seeing Cui Yixuan off.
Wang then turned her gaze to Choi Sin-ki...
"Well? Do you still dare to marry the princess?"
Wang poked Choi Shin-ki's head.
"Mother, why?"
Choi Shin-ki said with a wronged expression, "Even the remains have been married to a princess, it's so embarrassing for me not to be able to marry one."
You brat.
Is this something that should not be considered shameful for a princess?
This bizarre thought process... I wonder who it came from.
"You little rascal..."
Madam Wang shook her head: "Now that you have entered officialdom, there are some things I should tell you."
Everyone says the court is complicated, but do you know exactly why?
Choi Shin-ki shook his head.
If I had known, would you still have beaten me up?
"The imperial court is divided into various factions, including military generals, gentry, Guanzhong, Confucianists, and neutral parties!"
"But if we're talking about the biggest forces in the imperial court, there are only two!"
As she spoke, Wang's expression became slightly solemn.
"Which two?" Choi Shin-ki asked.
"One faction is led by His Majesty; we collectively refer to them as the New Nobles!"
"What is a new elite..."
"Actually, they are people from the Guanlong Group."
"During the Western Wei and Northern Zhou periods, Yuwen Tai established the Eight Pillars of State, the Twelve Great Generals, and the Twenty-Four Grand Generals, laying the foundation for the rise of new nobles in the Northern Zhou period."
"These people all rose to power and gained control of the military through military achievements."
"But it lacks cultural depth."
Choi Shin-ki listened attentively.
Suddenly, he asked again, "What about the old aristocracy?"
"The old aristocracy is the family headed by our five surnames and seven clans."
While speaking, Wang massaged and applied medicine to Cui Shenji.
*Smack*
As he spoke, he slapped Choi Shin-ki on the buttocks again: "Don't move, or I'll slap you again."
Choi Shin-ki pursed his lips.
"The old aristocratic families served as officials for generations, spanning the Han, Three Kingdoms, and Jin dynasties!"
"His noble status is far beyond what nouveau riche can compare to."
"We mainly control culture, economy, education, and everything else that is vital to the nation's survival."
"To put it simply..."
"The newly rich are all brutes; they're the ones who can conquer the world!"
"The old aristocracy are all scholars; they are capable of ruling the country!"
Mrs. Wang patiently explained...
While explaining, he didn't forget to apply a medicated plaster to Choi Shin-ki.
"What does that have to do with Osang Cheonghae?" Choi Shinki asked, puzzled.
"It's a very important matter."
Wang sighed: "As the saying goes... conquering the world is easy, but maintaining it is difficult!"
"If the Tang Dynasty wants to establish an everlasting dynasty, it must beg us."
“Once you marry the princess, our position will become awkward.”
"They might even become His Majesty's puppet!"
"He will keep weakening us, until he has drained us dry..."
"Kick it off!"
Holy crap!
Choi Shin-ki's eyes widened.
So His Majesty is really that shameless?
"A dynasty lasts a hundred years, a family lasts a thousand years."
"This is all the result of the hard work of our ancestors, generation after generation."
"If you dare to marry a princess, not only will your father and grandfather not let you off the hook."
"Even the ancestor of the Cui family would be so angry that he would crawl out of his coffin and beat you up."
"..."
Choi Sin-ki was speechless.
"Mother, how could you joke about our ancestors?"
*Smack*
Wang is another one with a sharp mind.
“If I don’t say it like that, will you understand?” Wang said, slightly annoyed.
You know your own son's character best.
I'm speaking to my son in a more literary way.
That's definitely someone who stares wide-eyed and hums and groans, but doesn't understand a thing.
"That's not right!"
Cui Shenji seemed to remember something: "Isn't His Majesty also from the Li clan of Longxi?"
"he……"
Wang glanced outside the door before whispering, "His Majesty's bloodline is so distant, who knows how many generations have passed."
"Take His Majesty's grandmother, Dugu, for example. She was a genuine Xianbei."
"How could we possibly talk about the Li family of Longxi?"
Why is it like this?
Then my Qinghe River will be gone.
"lady……"
Just then, a maid came in: "Doctor Wei and Registrar Fang have come to visit. They want to see the young master."
"Okay, got it."
Wang waved her hand: "Take them to the living room. Ji'er will come over after she's tidied up."
After dismissing the servants, Madam Wang turned her gaze to Cui Shenji.
"Why are you still lying down?"
"Your two cronies are here, why don't you get ready to greet them?"
Wang shook her head helplessly.
Other people's kids learn their lesson the more they are disciplined.
I don't know if my own child is missing a screw.
I just beat him up today.
The pain will be gone by tomorrow.
"Mother, those aren't bad friends."
Choi Shin-ki said with a serious expression, "That's my brother!"
*Smack*
Wang's skill lies in her brain.
"You have a problem with me calling them their cronies?"
Choi Shin-ki covered his head.
You're my mother, whatever you say is right.
After the wound is treated and the clothes are tidied up.
Choi Shin-ki ran to the living room...
"A large cauldron, remains..."
Upon seeing Wei Shuyu and Fang Yi'ai, it was as if they had seen long-lost relatives.
"What's wrong? Did your dad beat you again?"
"Yes...no...yes...no..."
"Speak like a human being! Is it yes or no?"
"Waaah..."
Choi Shin-ki was even more heartbroken: "Brother, I've been dumped."
