Sun Fujia gave Li Shimin a great shock.

This made Li Shimin suddenly realize that the harm of the world clan had far exceeded his own imagination.

Any minister, whether for fame or profit, must ultimately satisfy the endless desires of the world.

But...... Even if you are satisfied, what can you do?

Li Tang gave them a lot of benefits, but in exchange for resentment.

Because the more you give, the more they will have an appetite and be insatiable.

From the very beginning, they were not of the same mind as Datang. And because of that...... Can these thorns in the eyes and flesh really be left to future generations?

The crown prince Li Chengqian, although his temperament is quite strong, his prestige is obviously far less than that of his father.

So what about Li Chengqian's son in the future? Can he be as strong as his father?

If such a situation is maintained, then it is not impossible for the Tang Dynasty III to die.

In fact...... What Li Shimin couldn't predict was ...... The Tang Dynasty has lasted for hundreds of years, but it is not because these clans have changed their temperament.

It's because, after Li Shimin, his son Li Zhi married a strange existence.

On that day, the first female emperor in the world ascended the throne, in order to suppress dissidents, a large number of cool officials were promoted, and the Shi clan was attacked, and she actually took this opportunity to make the Shi clan suffer a heavy blow, so it continued the life of the entire Tang Dynasty.

So much so that those families who were struggling to survive actually wept bitterly and pinned their hopes on supporting the Li family's royal family, hugging the thighs of the royal family, in a vain attempt to survive secretly.

But even so, the entire Li Tang, to a certain extent, was in all kinds of violent turmoil, and all kinds of palace changes in the upper echelons were not because the ministers always had the opportunity to seek new agents and try in vain to get involved in the government.

Of course, Li Shimin couldn't imagine that there would be such a rigid female emperor in the future, what he was thinking about now was...... Can the children and grandchildren have the courage, and if it is something that even I find intractable, how can they break it?

In fact, the appearance of Chen Zhengtai gave Li Shimin some hope.

In the past, Li Shimin did not dare to imagine completely suppressing the world, because there were their people inside and outside the court, if the Son of Heaven cut them off, then who would be appointed to govern the world? And how did the army ensure complete loyalty to the emperor?

The only thing the emperor can do is to pull one faction to fight another, the Guanlong clan is too strong, so he uses the clan in Kanto to suppress them, and the clan in the north is too sharp, so he uses the Shi clan in Jiangnan to enter the dynasty and balance them.

Emperor Wen of Sui did this, and Emperor Yang of Sui did the same, but unfortunately he didn't suppress it and got away.

Li Shimin did the same thing before, but now...... Seemingly...... This tightrope walking will not bring greater benefits.

At this time, Li Shimin looked at Chen Zhengtai and said firmly: "I want a big shovel." ”

At this time, it is Chen Zhengtai, in fact, I am very excited, my Chen Zhengtai's layout, obviously has had a role, the Chen family has gone through a steady stream of migration to the outside of the Guan, and constantly expand the industry outside the Guan, there is already a way out.

In Chen Zhengtai's layout, the Chen family will embark on a more brilliant path, but ...... The eradication of the clan is actually the trend of the times.

Now that Your Majesty has a heart, what else can you do, just do it.

Chen Zhengtai said: "Your Majesty...... If you want to shovel, then ...... Your Majesty...... Who can be trusted? ”

"Who can be trusted?" Li Shimin stared at Chen Zhengtai: "Can the army be trusted?" ”

Chen Zhengtai thought for a while: "What does Your Majesty think?" ”

Li Shimin's face was murderous: "I haven't personally led the army for many years, and now most of the people in the army are all children of the family." Nature...... There are also many old fellows who are loyal to me, but ...... When they became rich and noble, most of them married women with five surnames, even people like the eldest grandson Wuji and Cheng Yanjin, they were not exempt from vulgarity. ”

This is the truth, the so-called women with five surnames are actually the people who followed Li Shimin to fight the world at the beginning, and most of them have actively married with the clans. Can they really maintain absolute loyalty to the Emperor?

Li Shimin may not be able to guarantee this.

Li Shimin said quietly: "Although the case of Sun Fujia has been resolved, Zhang Liang, Hou Junjiren, etc., are also involved, which makes it difficult for me to sleep and eat these days. They were all great heroes of mine in the first place, and they could be said to be loyal to me, but I never imagined that they would do such a thing. ”

Li Shimin said, with a thoughtful look on his face, at this time he turned his head, and he found that the army, which was firmly controlled in his hands, may not be as reliable as he imagined.

Chen Zhengtai said: "Then establish a military horse that is separated from the world." ”

"Outside the world?" Li Shimin raised his head and glanced at Chen Zhengtai.

Chen Zhengtai's intention is actually obvious.

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten that there is a hussar guard in Erpigou."

"Just these centaurs?" Li Shimin couldn't help but wonder.

Chen Zhengtai said: "You can recruit children from good families, such as miners and craftsmen......

"When did miners and craftsmen become good families?" Li Shimin couldn't help laughing.

The son of a good family is different from the children of a good family in later generations, and the meaning of the later generations is a pure white family.

But in this era, the so-called good family refers to those who are not in the seven branches of the army or the children of non-doctors, witches, merchants, and hundreds of workers.

Miners and craftsmen are all under the scope of the hundred workers, so they are not good families.

Chen Zhengtai glanced at Li Shimin deeply, and said meaningfully: "Your Majesty, of course it didn't count in the past, but now...... Isn't it okay? ”

Li Shimin was stunned, and then said: "Can these people ensure loyalty?" ”

Chen Zhengtai said very calmly: "Erchen can be sure." ”

Looking at Chen Zhengtai's confident face, Li Shimin was a little unconfident, and most of the dynasties regarded these doctors, merchants, craftsmen, and miners as cheap jobs, and thought that they were the most unreliable. Since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the imperial court has loved to recruit the children of the family and the children of small landlords to join the army, these people are the backbone of the army, also known as the sons of the good family, they have a much higher status in the army than ordinary soldiers, and the vast majority of senior and low-level officers are mostly these people.

The rulers believed that these people were more reliable, that they had certain assets of their own, that they had a certain amount of cultural and military knowledge, not to mention that only these people had the strength to raise horses, and that war horses ...... It is the most important military resource of this era.

Li Shimin seemed to have some doubts, he himself was a member of the clan, and the education he received obviously did not dare to easily trust the children of hundreds of workers.

But Chen Zhengtai's words were conclusive, and Chen Zhengtai continued: "Your Majesty...... Can you know the news newspaper...... Who is the main force of the purchase? ”

What does this mean.........

Li Shimin looked at Chen Zhengtai in surprise: "Isn't Mo a child of the world?" ”

Chen Zhengtai shook his head: "Although they will also read it, they only read the news in it, as for the other content published in it, they don't care about it, they love poetry and beauty more." On the contrary, in the news newspaper about Deng Jian's recovery of stolen goods in recent days, there are also introductions to the customs and customs of various parts of the world. ”

Li Shimin couldn't help but say: "You mean, they are in favor of recovering stolen goods?" ”

"How not to approve?" Chen Zhengtai smiled and said, "If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, how about we make a bet?" ”

Li Shimin smiled: "What are you betting on?" ”

"Well, that's it, it's okay if you don't gamble, your son will win Your Majesty, and you will inevitably feel uncomfortable. If you lose, I'm afraid that my heart will be even more uncomfortable. Your Majesty, if you still don't gamble, you might as well ...... Let's go and walk around the workshop, and we'll see it at a glance. ”

Li Shimin's experience in this Guozixue can be said to be equivalent to being slapped a few times by Pei Yan, and now he is angry, and he is feeling uncomfortable, so he said that he wanted to go at this time, so he immediately agreed: "Let's go, stay here, I will be a little angry." ”

So without any further delay, a few people went directly out of Guozi to study and got into the carriage that had been waiting outside.

On the carriage, looking at the many pedestrians along the street, and listening to the faint noise, Li Shimin's heart was still heavy.

In Li Shimin's view, the family should be the backbone of the world and the foundation of the Tang Dynasty, but where did he think of it...... The court gave them so many favors, but in the end, they got these.

This made Li Shimin feel uncomfortable, and at the same time created a huge sense of crisis.

This is not groundless, because before Li Tang, the replacement of dynasties, there are only two or three generations, starting from the Eastern Han Dynasty, almost every few generations, an old dynasty will be replaced by a new dynasty, in a few decades, the new emperor ascended the throne, followed by the second and third dynasties, and the old royal family was completely eradicated.

With so many lessons from the past, who can believe that Li Tang is lucky?

The Yang family, the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the Northern Wei Dynasty...... Too much...... There are too many precedents.

Along the way, Li Shimin seemed to be thinking about things, so the carriage has been very quiet, after the carriage arrived at Erpigou, Chen Zhengtai did not dare to take people to the big workshops, and the owners of some large workshops could not recognize themselves, so they only looked for an ordinary scale workshop to enter.

This workshop is the production of woodware, Erpigou includes Shuofang, new mansions are being built everywhere, many people have moved into new homes, and all kinds of furniture are needed, under this huge demand, the sales of woodware are huge, all kinds of Hu beds, Hu stools and Hu chairs are very popular.

There is no way to do this, the nobles like to kneel and sit, which is in line with etiquette after all, but ordinary people work hard all day and get off work, where are they still in the mood to grieve their knees?

The scale of this workshop is small, and the door is marked with the sign of Zhouji Woodmill, and there are about 100 carpenters and apprentices.

Unlike the atmosphere in the Kokukoku school, the atmosphere here makes people feel nervous, craftsmen and apprentices mostly use tools such as axes and saws, and process the wood according to different styles, and there is a lacquer workshop on the side, because people nowadays love to paint their furniture, so you can smell a pungent smell from afar.

When Li Shimin entered here, he felt that the smell here was a little weird, and he wanted to be disgusted.

After he got out of the car, this Mercedes-Benz brand four-wheeled carriage is still very face-saving here in Erpigou, and ordinary small businessmen are reluctant to buy it, and Li Shimin and his party have seven or eight cars, so the porter in front of the door does not dare to stop it, and he is anxious to inform his owner.

After only a moment, the proprietor trotted out, with a smile on his face, and when Li Shimin and the others fell to the ground, he bowed and saluted: "Oops...... I felt my eyelids jump early in the morning, and I always felt that I was going to meet a noble person today, but Lang Jun and others came. I don't know Lang Jun's surname......"

"The surname is Li." Li Shimin also wanted to explain, it was not Longxi Li, nor Zhaojun Li.

But the owner didn't continue to ask where Li Shimin came from, but immediately said: "Brother Li, my surname is Zhou, Zhou Wu, haha...... Come, come, sit inside. ”

Li Shimin is a little unaccustomed to it, too vulgar, and he hasn't said a few words of greeting when he comes in.

He looked at Chen Zhengtai in a different light, and Chen Zhengtai said in a low voice: "Erchen loves to hang out here in Erpigou, and there are not so many false courtesies." ”

So Li Shimin and the others followed Zhou Wu into a separate wing room in the workshop, which was a small tea room, obviously prepared for entertaining merchants.

Zhou Wu actually didn't have a servant, so he personally grabbed some tea leaves, poured tea for Li Shimin and others, and then said with a smile: "Brother Li wants to buy tables and chairs, right?" I'm not boasting, the workmanship of our Zhou Ji, except for the Chen family's woodware, is the best in Erpigou, and our craftsmen here are exquisitely crafted, which is not comparable to ordinary people. ”

He immediately began to brag about himself, from the wood used in his house, to the paint he used, to the workmanship, and his mouth did not stop chattering.

Li Shimin listened silently, it can be said that he couldn't interject into the conversation, he only felt that this guy was boasting too much, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, his face was calm and motionless.

Seeing this, Zhou Wu felt that a big deal was coming, put a cup of tea in front of Li Shimin, and said cautiously: "Brother Li doesn't believe it, you can take a look, seeing is believing, our price is also very fair......"

Li Shimin's gaze fell on the scattered newspapers on the coffee table.

He immediately reached out and took the newspaper, and said as if he was interested: "I don't know what is published in the newspaper today." ”

Zhou Wu listened, took it away, and did business, it was the same as marrying a daughter-in-law, and some of them should be fast and ruthless, and it was best to take it at one time. There are also those who can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so they need to grind and brew well.

So he sat down and said with a smile: "Isn't the front page about recovering stolen money?" Look...... Millions of dollars, how much is that, these people...... It's bold...... With so much money, he dared to embezzle, in the past, he always felt that the emperor Lao Tzu was full of words and said one thing, but now it seems that it is ...... It seems that the words of Emperor Lao Tzu may not work, and there are people who dare to love Tai Sui. ”

He said it casually, but Li Shimin listened to it, as if it hurt like a heartache.
