Chapter 68

Then two days later, Li Zhen had a recital, and everyone finally understood why the family agreed to Li Zhen being made the crown prince, because Li Zhen let the family go, and they were repaying Li with a peach.

"It's really a good strategy to split up the family and separate the family, why didn't I think of it?" watched Li Zhen's "Please Move to Zongshu", watched it with relish, and admired it while watching.

The relocation of the sect is the division of the family, and the division of the family in ancient times is related to the ancient family patriarchal system - "there are sects that do not move for hundreds of generations, and there are sects that move for five generations." ”

Generally speaking, when a family develops to a certain time, or various factors lead to some family members living in other places for many years, the patriarch or heir of the original family divides the family property with the heirs who have moved out or are not descendants on matters related to the family property, forming a new head of the house, and the head of the house is independent, and the slow development will evolve from the small sect of "five generations will move" to the large sect of "one hundred generations will not move".

"Zhen'er's brain is good, no wonder others say that he has a far-sighted vision and a unique vision, hehe, for thousands of years, the kings and countless sages have not solved the problem, but he came up with it, and the right time, place and people are all occupied by us, if this is not successful, it is my problem - this vision is indeed vicious."

The more Li Shimin looked at it, the more he felt that this plan was feasible, of course, he said that the sages of the past generations did not think of this method, which is a bit exaggerated.

For thousands of years in China, when it was passed down to the Tang Dynasty, it had a history of at least 4,000 years, and no one thought of splitting the clan by dividing the clan in the past 4,000 years, even Li Zhen didn't believe it - not to mention anything else, let's just say that when Shang Ying changed the law, there was the concept of separation in the content of his change, because the separation of the family means that there are more sources of taxes, and there are more sources of conscription and labor (in ancient times, military service or labor service was levied according to the number of households, and how much labor was levied by a household, this is a fixed number, Generally, it is enough for a family to produce only one person, even if there are 100 people in this family), and the national strength will naturally be strong.

Just thinking of the method is thinking of the method, but this does not mean that they can achieve it - just ask, apart from now, what period of history has the family declined?

There is no thing, no matter how weak the Central Plains Dynasty is, no matter how strong the alien race is, aren't those clans still alive and well, even if there is a decline, there will soon be a new family on top, the major families you go up and I go down, you go down and I go up, there will always be a successor - and since it is a family, it is natural that the existence of the separation system will not be allowed, the family controls the government, and the decree cannot be promulgated, so what is the use of even if it is a good decree?

That is, now, the family was beaten by a bait thrown out by Li Zhen, and finally weakened the strength of almost all the families to the extreme, even if the imperial court announced that it would exterminate them at this time, they would not have much resistance - this is why Li Shimin said that the time and place are favorable.

What's even better is that Li Zhen's performance is not aimed at the family, but at the people of the world. As long as the family has more than ten people, it must be separated, and it is not specifically for the family, so even if the family has the intention to oppose it, they cannot find a reason to oppose it.

I have to say that Li Zhen's move this time is really powerful, the angle is tricky, and the vision is long-term, even Li Shimin has to appreciate it.

But this is not what Li Shimin admires most about Li Zhen, what he admires most about Li Zhen is Li Zhen's magnanimity and courage. If you are an ordinary person, after learning about the sins of the family, and this family is very unfriendly to you, and has assassinated yourself, I am afraid that it is difficult to guarantee that you will not kill the family when you are in power, and completely destroy the existence of the family, and even Li Shimin himself may not be able to spare the life of the family - he is indeed known for his magnanimity in history, but we take a closer look at Li Shimin's magnanimous objects to know that these people are not a threat to him.

For example, the most famous Wei Zheng, he repeatedly opposed Li Shimin, but Li Shimin did not punish him, which is indeed one of the manifestations of grandeur, but don't forget that the reason why Li Shimin forgave Wei Zheng was because Wei Zheng did not violate Li Shimin's bottom line - that is, it endangered the interests of the Tang Empire and did not threaten his rule. If Wei Zheng's actions really made him feel threatened, there was no doubt that Wei Zheng would not survive the next day.

And the threat level of the family is far above Wei Zheng, especially the allied family, this is a real force that can threaten the security of the Tang Dynasty, if the family falls into the hands of Li Shimin, then they really can't survive the next day - as for the inheritance of civilization in the hands of the family?

No kidding, compared with the safety of Datang, what is the inheritance of civilization?

However, Li Zhen did not take advantage of the situation to destroy the family when the family was in decline, but forgave the sins of the family with great wisdom and courage, and gave them a chance to live.

This is also where Li Shimin praised Li Zhen the most, as a king, you can not have too strong ability, but you must have enough courage, otherwise a king is stingy, how can the people below work with peace of mind?

Wang Tingchu smiled beside him: "Hehe, Your Majesty, it is said that this is the result of Zheng Zhihua's hard work in front of His Royal Highness King Yue, His Royal Highness the King of Yue is said to be ready to exterminate the family and completely cut off the existence of the family from the root." ”

"If others believe this, do you believe it too?" Li Shimin glanced at Wang Tingchu and said unhappily.

"Yes, yes, it's the slave who said the wrong thing." Wang Tingchu also realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly knelt down and prayed for mercy: "Your Majesty, this is mainly because the rumors outside say this, and the slaves and maids also listen to outsiders." ”

Li Shimin frowned: "Is there such a rumor in the palace?" ”

"Yes, the slave maid heard about it in the palace."

"It seems that my nephew is more capable than I thought." The corners of Li Shimin's mouth immediately realized that someone must be doing something in the way, and the biggest suspect is Locke, that is, Li Chengke.

The reason why he is suspicious is first because he has recently entered the eyes of Li Shimin, and secondly, Li Chengke is the son of Li Jiancheng, Li Jiancheng has been the prince for so many years, it is impossible to say that there are not a few minions in the palace, although Li Shimin carried out a major purge of the palace when he succeeded to the throne, but there will definitely be fish that slip through the net, these people are generally Li Jiancheng's henchmen, and now that Locke has come to the door, they are naturally willing to work for him.

It's just the purpose of Locke's move......

What exactly?
