Datang: Get a god-level selection system at the beginning

The banquet lasted until midnight, and Li Wenbin was finally defeated by the onslaught of the drunkards.

Not only him, but even Su Dingfang and Xi Junmai, who were helping to hold back the wine, were so drunk that they lay on the ground and fell asleep. Just like that, they still didn't forget to hold a wine jar, and sang good wine from time to time .

Li Wenbin didn't know when he lost consciousness. He only knew that the wine was dry, and he didn't know who he drank with at the end. Anyway, when he opened his eyes, he found that he was lying in his bedroom in the Qin Palace. , I also changed into a small white and clean coat.

With a creak, the door was pushed open, and Ruyue walked in with a basin in hand. When she saw that Li Wenbin had woken up, she couldn't help being overjoyed.

"My lord, you're finally awake." Ruyue said while wiping Li Wenbin's face with a handkerchief, "When you came back yesterday, you threw up all over."

"This group of old drunkards, wait for me to improve my drinking capacity." Li Wenbin only felt a splitting headache, wishing to split his head open to relieve the pain, "I will drink them all to death!"

Ruyue covered her mouth and said with a smile: "My lord, you are already very powerful. If you don't believe me, go to Xiande Hall to see, there is a drunk lying on the floor there."

"By the way, I made you hangover soup, and I'll bring it here."

Seeing Ruyue who was busy to and fro, Li Wenbin heaved a sigh of relief, feeling extremely relaxed.

Finally home, the golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as my...diamond nest.

No matter what, it is still the most comfortable at home.

Drinking hangover soup, Li Wenbin's mind felt better. He looked at Ruyue's slightly slimmer face and smiled, "Ruyue, you've lost weight in the past few months since I've been out. Didn't you eat well?"

"No, it's just that I usually eat less."

Ruyue blushed, she didn't dare to look up at Li Wenbin.

"Did you miss me?"

"……Um!"

After a long time, Kisaragi hummed a word from his nostrils.

"Then tell me, where do you miss me?"

"I……"

"Oh, it makes you blush. Let me change the question again. Where did you miss me?"

After talking and laughing with Ruyue for a while, Li Wenbin felt in a good mood, but at this moment, Li Shimin and his eldest grandson came together.

"I have seen my father and mother."

"Get up, don't be too polite, and there are no outsiders."

Li Shimin sat down carelessly, while the eldest grandson looked around: "Wen Bin, I heard that you brought back a daughter of the Cui family, call her out to show me."

Li Wenbin hurriedly asked Cui Yan to come, and the eldest grandson saw a woman in a simple and elegant palace dress kneeling in front of him: "Ms. Cui has met His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress."

"Raise your head up and let me take a look."

Cui Yan raised her head, the eldest grandson looked at her carefully, then nodded: "She is a good girl, you have suffered a lot these days."

As she said that, she took off a green bracelet from her wrist and put it on Cui Yan's arm: "This bracelet is considered a meeting gift, so come and greet me when you have nothing to do, and accompany Ben Gong."

"Yes."

Cui Yan was very happy to have passed the elder grandson's check, and Li Wenbin had already written to Li Shimin in advance about his relationship with her and the agreement.

"Are you a direct descendant of the Cui family?"

"Yes."

"Well, although there is no such precedent, since the king of Qin has made an agreement with you, I can't let him break his promise. In the future, your second son will be canonized by me personally as the head of the Cui family."

"Miss Cui, thank you Lord Long En."

Even if Li Shimin and the eldest grandson have decided on their marriage, they can't get married right away - after all, Cui Yan's father died less than half a year ago, and according to the rules, she has to observe mourning for three years.

The eldest grandson knew that Li Shimin had important matters to discuss with Li Wenbin, so he took Cui Yan to chat.

"Wen Bin, you did a good job this time."

"Thank you for the compliment, Father. With the strength and morale of Youzhou's troops, and the fact that my son is famous as a teacher, he deserves victory when he crusades against non-subjects."

"Hmph, don't be sloppy with me, you know what I mean. You almost uprooted the Qinghe Cui family this time, and wiped out almost all of their influence in the Tang Dynasty."

"Hey, this has nothing to do with Erchen. It was obviously Wang Junkuo who committed the crime. Erchen was a step late and failed to save Cui."

"Hey, my son feels very uncomfortable."

"That's right, that guy Wang Junkuo did it. What are you going to do with the rest of the family? Recently, the clans have been moving around very frequently, obviously because the Cui family was destroyed, they were sad to death, and they started to connect."

"Father, I feel that there is no need to worry too much about this. The connection between clans has existed since ancient times, and it didn't just appear today. If they don't contact each other to discuss countermeasures, I will find it strange."

"Most of the children of the aristocratic families in the court have been transferred away from their vital positions, but this has also brought certain disadvantages."

"Father said that what is available is not enough?"

"Yes, the reason why those aristocratic families have been able to stand for hundreds of years is because they have mastered the ascending channel. Almost all scholars come from the aristocratic families. I used to think that I can't do without the aristocratic families."

Of course Li Shimin knew the disadvantages of the aristocratic family's grasp of the talent promotion channel, but he couldn't do anything about it for a while, and it couldn't be solved in a while.

"Father, my sons naturally understand your difficulties. If you want to get rid of these aristocratic families at once, unless there is another chaos like the previous Sui Dynasty..."

"No, that kind of chaos is not enough. It will take at least a hundred years of chaos to truly make the aristocratic family disappear from history. But this method costs too much, and we must think of a reliable method."

"I know, so I have always been suspicious. Wen Bin, tell me the truth, can you really control the situation?"

"You know, Guanzhong is the essence of my Tang Dynasty. If it doesn't work out, the world will be torn apart. At that time, even if I want to protect you, I can't do it."

"Please rest assured, father. If there is such a day, please follow Han Jing's example and behead his ministers to thank the world."

Li Shimin was silent and did not speak for a long time.

"Father!" Li Wenbin knelt on one knee, "For the eternal foundation of the Tang Dynasty, please don't hesitate any longer."

"it is good!"

Li Shimin gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "Since this is the case, I can't let down your passion. Then let us, father and son, sweep those aristocratic families into the trash!"

"In three days' time, there will be the Great Court Meeting, and you must be ready by then."

"My son obeys the order."
