Chapter 1029: The Beginning of a Rebellion
Leng Feng smiled slightly, not surprised.
When chatting with Leng Jing two days ago, Leng Feng had already learned that the traditional noble groups of the Tang Dynasty had obviously had a tendency to divide in three ways recently. The first party was against the emperor's proposition, and in their opinion, the power and discourse of the dynasty should be in the hands of the family and distributed to the people, which is a more terrible thing than another war. The second party is Tang Jin and other new nobles, who choose to support the emperor unconditionally, believing that this will have a good impact on the long-term stability of the Tang Dynasty.
The third party is Leng Jing and others, they may have chosen to help them out of their original intentions, or for some other purpose.
For the two opposing parties, the third party is the key to winning over, although the new Xungui has the support of the emperor, but as long as the third party joins their camp, the emperor can only put away his own small abacus and honestly sit on the throne as his Taiping Emperor.
The power of one or two families will never be seen by the royal family, but if most of the nobles are united, the emperor can only compromise. After all, although the royal power is strong, it is not strong enough to be able to truly oppose these forces.
Hearing Changsun Chong say this directly, Tang Jin's neck tensed, and he couldn't wait to stand up and throw Changsun Chong out directly. I am a loyal supporter of the emperor's camp, and I came to Mr.'s house just to pay New Year's greetings. But let the eldest grandson chong stir up such a peace, I'm afraid that Mr. will have thoughts about himself.
For Leng Feng, Tang Jin is grateful, if it were not for Leng Feng, Li Jing, and Li Xiaogong, he would not be qualified to enter the high-level of the Tang Dynasty as a relative of the Tang family, let alone reach the current height.
He didn't want Mr. to look down on him because of this.
Wang Xuance stretched out his hand and grabbed Tang Jin, he didn't understand why Tang Jin, who was usually elegant and elegant, was so angry today.
Glancing at the angry Tang Jin, Leng Feng didn't care, but asked Changsun Chong: "It stands to reason that the old man has not asked about the government for many years, if you want to talk about such a thing, you can't find the old man's head, what is your purpose?" ”
If he complains, Changsun Chong is looking for a cow to talk, and the effect is much better than coming to him. No matter what Changsun Chong says, Leng Feng can use "not involved in government politics" to push it all away. What's more, now the head of the Leng family is Leng Jing, if he has anything to say, he should also find Leng Jing to say.
Seeing that Tang Jin and Wang Xuance had no intention of avoiding suspicion, the eldest grandson Chong knew that King Xiaoyao would definitely not agree, but holding the possibility of what happened, he still spoke: "Sir, you are now the king of Xiaoyao, and you are still a first-class prince outside the royal family." Although you don't have a fief, but with the identity of a king with a different surname, there is probably only the emperor and queen who are more noble than you in the world. Even if you are a prince, you have to be a little shorter in front of you.
As a beneficiary of the aristocratic system, you should know that as long as the policy of decentralization and civil affairs is thoroughly implemented, the first thing to be eroded is the low-level official position of the county order. The next thing is the assassination history, and when this method of public election erodes the court, our nobles will lose all their glory and fall to the same starting line with the common people.
You are the King of Freedom, you are the most noble person since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Leng Jing has inherited your heirloom throne, it is no exaggeration to say that as long as this title is still there, your Leng family does not even need to fight, and it can always be inherited as a high-ranking nobleman of the Tang Dynasty. And we wait, in order not to reduce the title, but we still need to struggle.
Once the aristocracy becomes a joke, what you have done for the Tang Dynasty and the foundation you have built for the Leng family will one day turn into a bubble, what do you think is wrong with what I said? ”
Looking at Changsun Chong's serious eyes, Leng Feng suddenly recalled the young man who held the book and asked him. At that time, the eldest grandson Chong was as serious as his eyes, and he treated learning as if he were life. Mr. Ming Ming had clearly shown his boredom, but he still asked with a red face, without the slightest intention of compromise.
Maybe the people in the eldest grandson's family are very stubborn, they are all the kind of people who don't hit the south wall and don't look back. The eldest grandson Wuji is like this, and the eldest grandson Chong is the same now.
It is impossible for him not to know that Li Chengqian did this not on a whim, but is preparing for long-term development. The existence of nobles is actually the most unstable risk factor for a country. In history, except for Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang, emperors were generally exchanged in the hands of families and ethnic groups, and whoever seized the opportunity enjoyed the throne for a few months to hundreds of years.
Li Shimin clearly discovered this, so he suppressed the family gate valve and promoted the new nobles, hoping that future generations could block the inevitability of dynasty change by means of continuous suppression and promotion.
Li Chengqian also understood this, but he did it a little more ruthlessly, in order to completely eliminate the source of the turmoil, he even did not hesitate to send all the nobles to the end of decay, including their Li family itself.
dared to send the Li family of the royal family to the end of the road, which shows how resolute Li Chengqian is.
Now it is the Li family who controls the Tang Dynasty, no matter how Li Chengqian tosses, the remaining nobles only have the choice of obedience except for rebellion. In other words, those who disobey may have planted the seeds of rebellion in their hearts.
Seeing Leng Feng smiling and silent, Changsun Chong could only relieve his embarrassment by drinking tea, and hide his inner vacillation by peeling fruits.
Not only Changsun Chong is nervous, Tang Jin and Wang Xuance are also nervous, the Leng family is the most important one in the hidden hands, if Mr. is shaken because of Changsun Chong's words....
Thinking of this, the two of them almost unanimously slapped their faces, pumping away strange ideas, how could Mr. agree?
After admiring Changsun Chong's small movements for a while, Leng Feng felt that it was better to give him a reply.
"Eldest Sun Chong, the old man doesn't ask about government affairs now, and he doesn't take over family affairs. As for your desire for me to speak to influence the Emperor's decision or something, it's unrealistic. Li Chengqian is now the emperor, and he will only come to me one day a year to visit me, and the rest of the time, if the emperor does not give permission to the old man not to give courtesy, the old man will bow to him. So, what do you have to do, it's better to find the emperor than to find me. ”
Hearing this answer, Changsun Chong's eyes suddenly dimmed. In his opinion, if he wants to make the emperor change his mind, King Xiaoyao is the best person to persuade him. After all, the emperor's respect for the master is obvious to all.
As for King Xiaoyao's words that he usually bowed to the emperor, in his opinion, it was nonsense. When the multi-national competition was in the beginning, the King of Joy didn't know why, he slapped the emperor's neck on the rostrum, and the emperor screamed.
It is rare for someone to dare to beat the emperor in public!
