When Lu Hao broke into the mountain forest, the crown prince Li Heng was walking alone on horseback, followed by several vigilant guards three zhang away, and then a team of forbidden soldiers guarding the hunting grounds. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In winter, the hunting ground is full of snow, and it is rare to see a rabbit, and Li Heng is only here to relax.

He has had a hard time these days, his henchmen have been purged one after another, and his prestige has been greatly lost, but what is worse is that those families who were originally close to him have become ambiguous again.

Emperor Taizong set a bad precedent, so that the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty has always been short-lived. When he was first named the crown prince, Li Heng was in a panic all day long, on the one hand, enjoying the glory and power brought to him by the title of prince, on the other hand, he was afraid of losing everything, and even being in a different place.

Under the painful torment, Li Heng gradually developed a desire to control his own destiny, and then this desire naturally turned into a strong ambition under the shroud of the crown prince's title.

He finally walked on the path of his ancestors.

It's just that the smart Li Heng didn't show this kind of ambition casually like most of his ancestors before, but began to learn from his father.

His father's rise was closest to him, and he naturally became his best role model.

He found that the cowardice he had before was not a bad thing, and this disguise would give him the best protection without being obtrusive.

After all, in the eyes of others, he is like this.

He has been disguised for a long time, so long that even he wonders if he is really cowardly.

Until the Yang family was born, the rebellion in the south gave him a good opportunity for a long time.

As a result, he revealed his fangs and claws that had been hidden for more than ten years.

However, Wang Zhonghe's reaction destroyed his extravagant hopes for this little man, and the loyal heir was still loyal, but this loyalty was not given to him.

But this did not have a great impact on his plans, because he had known this friend since he was a child, and he only had a trace of extravagant hope in his heart, and of course it was impossible to put all his capital on one person's attitude.

After that, he secretly sent the generals and soldiers he had privately poached from Wang Zhongsi for so many years into Chang'an.

It was the proudest step in a series of plans, and he was confident that he hadn't caught anyone's attention beforehand.

Judging from the analysis that came out later, he did hide from everyone.

Even Li Linfu, who claims to be in power and in the opposition, and whose henchmen are all over the world, only saw some clues and was suspicious.

Li Heng is not afraid of Li Linfu's suspicion, Li Linfu is just greedy for power, but he is not a diehard loyalist of his father, Li Heng is sure that even if Li Linfu finds out, he can give conditions that he can't refuse.

However, the only thing Li Heng didn't expect was Xu Fan, the prime minister who was born out of nowhere.

For Xu Fan, Li Heng has no impression at all, more than thirty years ago Li Heng was still a child, Li Longji at that time almost all his actions were carried out in the dark, where could a little child who had not grown hair come into contact with such a private event.

When Xu Fan first paid homage to the prime minister, Li Heng also gave a lot of things, conveying kindness beyond the normal range, and Xu Fan's reaction to him was not beyond his expectations, no matter what gift he gave, Xu Fan accepted it, no matter how he tried, Xu Fan dared to take it.

Li Heng felt that Xu Fan should have been dealt with by himself!

However, the only thing he failed to notice was the relationship between Xu Fan and Li Longji.

Li Heng's tentative words had a completely different meaning in the eyes of Xu Fan's uncle, and Xu Fan only felt that Li Longji had told Li Heng about the relationship between the two, so Li Heng's seemingly dangerous temptations were naturally misunderstood by Xu Fan as a greeting from the younger generation to the elders.

First, it was not taken seriously, and secondly, it was just a joke to pull into the relationship between each other.

So when he found out that Li Heng was moving, Xu Fan was also confused.

Li Heng didn't know the relationship between Xu Fan and Li Longji, and he also misestimated Xu Fan's attitude towards the phase, so his launch lost its suddenness.

But this can't actually change the comparison of strength between each other!

Li Heng spent more than ten years studying his father, and he had a clear understanding of the power in Li Longji's hands.

On the surface, Li Longji is the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, but there are not many forces that can be completely controlled.

If the peaceful and prosperous times are faced with ordinary government affairs, Li Longji's ability is enough to handle them in an orderly manner.

The cake is already on the table, and the technical problem of how to cut and divide it is completely difficult for Li Longji, who has been immersed in imperial art for decades.

It is because Li Longji's level of sharing the cake is too superb, so those sitting at the table will be convinced that he is the main one and give Li Longji the power to share the cake.

This is also the reason why he was able to survive Wu Zetian, force Empress Wei to death, and play Princess Taiping to death.

In Li Heng's view, more than 30 years ago, Li Longji actually followed the path of Wendou, and most of his strength came from the support of the civilian clique.

Of course, after a dynasty has been developing steadily for a long time, the form of struggle must also be dominated by cultural fighting.

Military generals fight the world, civil officials rule the world, this is not just a slippery proverb.

The role of the military generals is to try to grab more flour and raw materials, and clean up the sanitation around the table by the way, and when the world is peaceful, the civil officials are responsible for making the cake, and then everyone sits in a row and divides the cake.

The first generation of generals did not have the ability to make cakes, but after a few generations, even the most stupid generals will find that those civil officials who have mastered the technology of making cakes will inevitably cut corners and fill their own pockets.

And that's just that, when the generals found out that the cake was made to the distribution process without them, the danger really came.

There are not so many thieves in the Taiping world who dare to come and snatch the biggest piece of cake in the world, and even if one or two foreign robbers can occasionally rush to the table and snatch some scraps, at most it will only make the pampered guys at the table panic for a while.

As a result, the martial generals found that they were no longer useful.

Then, they will have less and less cake in their hands.

In the Tang Dynasty, where the family was still very popular, due to the accumulation of ancestors, there were almost no military generals without foresight, and even if the Hanmen rose, given the knowledge and occasional knowledge of history, the military generals family would inevitably begin to infiltrate the civil official group.

Both civil and military affairs are the livelihood strategies of the wealthy families in this era, and they not only need to grasp the administrative power above the court, but also need to infiltrate the military.

Generally speaking, it is difficult for the big families who cultivate and read the heirlooms to infiltrate the military power, except for the few remaining thousand-year-old families, it is impossible for the rest of the families with administrative power to get involved in the military power.

But on the other hand, it is easy for the Jiangmen family to let their children read and write, and then through a series of substitution means, let the people who have nothing to do with them on the surface, but are completely controlled by themselves in private, get the position of the civil official group, so as to achieve the purpose of infiltrating the administrative power.

This kind of thing is very taboo, especially hated by the Ninety-Five, and all dynasties have inevitably suppressed and even purged.

However, it can never be banned.

Greed is the original sin, and profit-seeking is a common disease of the world.

Li Longji has not relaxed his suppression in this regard since he took power, but he is congenitally deficient and really has no ability to clear up the problems that countless ancestors have not been able to solve.

At the beginning, Li Longji was just a small prince, and in the era when his own son could only be a puppet, he couldn't even control life and death.

Later, he became the prince again by mistake, but he still couldn't change his weak nature, and the prince before him had been killed several times.

Although the struggle against fate allowed the precocious Li Longji to learn many survival skills, and even these skills helped him defeat all the enemies and ascend to the Great Treasure, he still couldn't change a problem.

He's still weak.

Yes, although he is already the emperor, he is still weak and pitiful!

This is a common problem of all successor emperors except the founding king.

The power of the founding monarch is the power that truly belongs to him, and every bit of it is ambushed and strengthened by himself.

Only the founding monarch or the emperor who personally led his troops to the battlefield and achieved victory could truly subdue them.

In all dynasties, when the throne was secured, almost all the founding emperors set out to weaken the generals' military power.

But the Tang Dynasty had some exceptions.

The origin of the exception can be traced back to Taizong Li Shimin, who needed considerable military force to prepare for the uneventful on the one hand, and Li Shimin on the other hand, because of his foreign policy.

Generally, the Central Plains Dynasty will treat it politely to the outside world, even if it is strong, send a messenger, and then tell those restless barbarians: "We are very strong, don't come to provoke me!"

In the same way, the barbarians at the beginning usually dismantled the messengers who came to them, or sent them to the horizon to shepherd sheep and raise fish.

At this time, the dynasty with really strong strength will send troops to kill and cripple these barbarians, but if the strength is not strong, the dynasty that is just bluffing will ...... Send another messenger who is more eloquent.

But Li Shimin is very different!

Once you mess with me, there will be no messengers, just the guy!

The army crossed the border, broke the country and slaughtered the city.

Then, the barbarians naturally knew that Datang was very strong!

Therefore, in the end of the Taizong Dynasty, the power of the military generals has not been suppressed or weakened.

Of course, there are not a few generals who are not Li Shimin's descendants dead.

Li Shimin dared to do this because he was confident enough! He believed that no general could pose a threat to him.

And that's exactly what happened.

This prestige even continued to the generation of his son Li Zhi.

So when Wu Meiniang wanted to usurp power, countless generals jumped out to oppose it, and Wu Meiniang had no choice but to kill most of the generals of the Taizong Dynasty.

As the knife in Wu Meiniang's hand, some of them are the generals who rose from the cold door, and a larger part are the generals who were suppressed by Li Shimin at the beginning.

Either the east wind overpowers the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind.

This matter in the power field is similar in all dynasties.

After that, it was Empress Wei and Princess Taiping, and the door was changed wave after wave, and when Li Longji began to do it, the armed forces united around him naturally could not be the soldiers he personally trained, and Li Longji, who had never been on the battlefield, had any descendant troops?

This is to change the future generations of the weak power of the wealthy family, it is better to say, like Principal Jiang can bring in a lot of descendants who sincerely serve his life with the title of a principal, not to mention the era when civil officials control everything in the Ming Dynasty, and military attaches can only bow down to orders, as long as the emperor's reputation is certain, civil officials will not make trouble, let alone military generals who have nothing in their hands.

Do you want to rebel?

Your military orders alone will have to go around several times in the hands of civilian officials!

Not to mention that you haven't even seen a soldier under your own name a few times!

Even in the Northern Song Dynasty, where everyone said that literature was heavy and military was light, there were still veteran generals such as the Zhejia Army and the Yang Family Army in the border army.

In a dynasty like the Tang Dynasty, where the power of the gate valve is still strong, the military generals are no different from civil officials, and the first place in their hearts is always their own family, followed by the big cake on the table, and finally it will be the turn of the person who shares the cake.

Wu Meiniang is beautiful, what's wrong with a woman being the emperor?

Empress Wei and Taiping Gong can also share well, so what does it matter if they share it?

What kind of chicken Si Chen, what yin and yang inversion are just unwilling complaints from those guys who can't get a piece of the cake!

What? You say it's against etiquette and doesn't conform to the teachings of the saints?

Please, when our big family began to inherit, you Ya Kongqiu was still a little hairy child!

If it weren't for the fact that your doctrine would be beneficial to us people, and would make it easier for us scholars to divide the administrative power from the king, do you think we, the big families with a long history, would be going to hold you up with a stinky foot?

The gate valve forces don't care who will share the cake, if it weren't for the fact that this table is still stable, neither of them would have overturned the strength of reopening a table, or the benefits of reopening a table would not be as good as keeping it as it was.

Otherwise, the world would have long since lost its surname Li.

Li Longji really recognized this fact after being the emperor for more than ten years, but Li Longji, who faced the reality, was not depressed, and some responses were still aimed at the gate valve family.

It is one thing that the imperial examination has become the norm, and so is the reform of the military system, and so is the wanton appointment of generals who have no involvement, and it can even be said that the appointment of such a controversial "scoundrel" as Li Linfu and his indulgence in taking power can also be regarded as one.

And as Li Longji's son, Li Heng, who is standing on the shoulders of giants, has long been aware of the face of the family's gate valve.

Even if Li Heng has Wang Zhonghei, who has played since he was a child, in order to win the support of the civil and official group, it is still inevitable to win over major families......

Although Wang Zhongsi's father was also from Jiangmen, their Wang family no longer had influence in Wang Zhongsi's generation.

Wang Zhongji has no blood brothers, and there are several brothers of the same clan, but none of them are successful.

When Li Longji brought Wang Zhongji to Li Heng, he inevitably had some thoughts.

For Li Heng, Wang Zhongsi is not only small, but also a breakthrough for him to get rid of Jiangmen's control.

Of course, such an idea only came about after he had been the prince for a few years, and the childhood friendship was still relatively pure, which made it even more precious.

This is true for both Li Heng and Wang Zhonghe.

It is impossible for Wang Zhongsi not to be aware of Li Heng's small movements over the years, but he did not say a word.

It's just that now this friend has become a stranger, and the desperate Li Heng can only turn around and drink Jiangmen's glass of wine......

Thoughts are chaotic, and the cold air still can't eliminate the swelling pain in my brain.

Li Heng, who believed in the reins, did not notice that he had come to the northernmost part of the royal hunting ground, and there was already a commotion in the mountains and forests in the distance.

Several guards behind him rode forward, and the forbidden troops behind them were like facing a great enemy, and they were in a panic for a while.
