Hidden Households
Editor: Atlas Studios
The Cui family was an old aristocratic family. In the Tang Dynasty, their power and glory were second only to the Li family. However, when the Tang Dynasty was destroyed, the Li family was the first to suffer a blow. The Cui family then became the leader of all the aristocratic families.
Emperor Shizong of Great Zhou suppressed the aristocratic families, and the Cui family also became the most heavily suppressed. Although they had been suppressed for nearly 20 years, after Emperor Gaozong ascended the throne and promoted the aristocratic families, they immediately jumped to the top of the aristocratic families.
After the Great Zhou fled south, the Cui family also came out and settled down in Dongting County.
