Imperial Palace, Taiji Palace.

Li Chengqian looked at Sun Qi, who was lying on the bed and being tied up by five flowers.

"You have a good rest." Li Chengqian sighed and said.

"The incompetence of his subordinates has disappointed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Sun Qi struggled for a while, and found that he couldn't stand up, so he had to lie on the bed and said with a wry smile.

"It's fine. Rest well, take care of your body, and then spend money with me. Li Chengqian smiled and said.

"Yes." Sun Qi naturally knew that what Li Chengqian was talking about was doing things for the people. forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart and said affirmatively.

Li Chengqian walked out of the Taiji Hall and walked in the direction of the Lizheng Palace.

Li Chengqian didn't know how those people from the Wang family dealt with it in the end. However, Li Chengqian knew that he and the Shi clan had already formed a bond.

I wanted to be a loser, but I had to provoke Li Chengqian. Is it really easy to be a loser? At least Li Chengqian is not easy to mess with.

went to the Lizheng Palace, also because of Li Shimin's summons. It is estimated that the reason for the summons is also because of the affairs of the Wang family and the scholars.

Soon, Li Chengqian came to the Lizheng Palace.

"Son, meet my father and queen mother." Li Chengqian walked into the Lizheng Palace, looked at Li Shimin, who was solemnly dressed in a fold, and the eldest grandson queen who was standing aside in a daze, Li Chengqian respectfully walked Li.

"Get up." Li Shimin rubbed his temples, which were a little swollen, and said.

"Yes." Li Chengqian stood up, put away his usual joking face, and looked at Empress Li Shimin's eldest grandson with a serious face.

There are too many scholars involved. Li Chengqian had no choice but to be serious.

"Do you know what the Taiyuan Wang clan is doing today?" Seeing Li Chengqian's appearance, Li Shimin was silent for a moment and asked.

"Tell my father, my son knows. I am one of the few great scholars in the Tang Dynasty today. Li Chengqian nodded.

"Then do you know what the status of the scholars is in my Tang Dynasty." Li Shimin continued.

"The inheritance of the Shi clan is almost more than 1,000 years, and the power of the Shi clan spreads in all fields. Even above the court, there are three or forty percent of the courtiers who are members of the noble clan. Li Chengqian replied.

"Then you know. Once their nobles rebelled. What are the consequences? Li Shimin asked.

"I don't know." Li Chengqian shook his head.

"Once the Shi clan has a rebellion, then our Tang Dynasty is likely to repeat the mistakes of the Sui Dynasty." Li Shimin sighed and said.

"Father, my sons don't understand."

"The reason why the Sui Dynasty destroyed the dynasty was because the royal family, which had not yet consolidated its power, wanted to eradicate the scholars who posed a great threat to the imperial power." Li Shimin explained.

"Then our Li family..."

"Our Li family is also a big family. Because the power was a little stronger, the Tang Dynasty was established. ”

"......" The Li family is also a scholar family, which Li Chengqian really doesn't know.

"You are still young, and you can't imagine the power of the Shi clan at all. Although the children of the scholar clan only occupy one-third of the official positions in the court, do you know how many resources they are greedy for with these thirty percent? What's more, the scholars have been inherited for thousands of years, and they have stayed in one place for thousands of years, and the people in that place have long lost me as an emperor in their hearts. ”

"The scholars built a kingdom on top of their territory. Our intelligence officers can't get in at all, and they can't get out if they do. Do you think they have been passed down for thousands of years and don't have their own army? ”

"No, you're wrong. The power they have accumulated over thousands of years is simply not something you can imagine. Just like our Li family, although it was very simple to unite the scholars and destroy the Sui Dynasty before, but what about after it was established? All the wealth accumulated over the millennium went into the treasury, and the army had to be distributed to various places to maintain order. Although our Li family is powerful, we don't just need to protect a small place, we are now protecting the whole country. ”

"Our forces are scattered, but the forces of the nobles have been staying in a few fixed places. I dare to say that as long as the nobles rebel, I will divide the troops. You can't hold anywhere. ”

Although Li Chengqian knew that the power of the Shi clan was strong, he never thought that it would be so strong.

"Isn't that right, the Shi clan has rebelled, and we have nothing to do." Li Chengqian was a little confused by Li Shimin's words.

"It's really not, although Cheng Biting Jin and they are all fierce generals. However, the generals of the Shi clan were not vegetarians. It is estimated that they are not worse than Cheng Yanjin. If you want to deal with them, you can only wait until a hundred years later to stabilize the imperial power. is possible. Li Shimin sighed and said.

"However, you don't have to worry, today's incident is indeed the fault of their Taiyuan Wang family, and they will suffer this loss. Besides, although our Datang can't beat all the scholars, I don't care about a Taiyuan Wang clan. Li Shimin is worthy of a generation of emperors, although the opponent is strong, but there is no trace of fear in Li Shimin's eyes.

"Emperor, don't worry too much, if they dare to retaliate in today's matter, then our royal family will definitely not let the Taiyuan Wang clan continue to exist in this world." Empress Eldest Sun patted Li Chengqian's head and said.

"Well, what I mean by calling you here today is that the two major events of the restaurant and the tea making department are major events that weaken the strength of the Shi clan and benefit the people, so you must not be afraid of it." Li Shimin said solemnly.

"Father, rest assured, although the power of the scholar clan is strong. But not so much that it makes me daunted. Big deal, isn't it just death? Li Chengqian suddenly laughed.

"Emperor, you don't have anything to say." Empress Eldest Sun hugged Li Chengqian tightly and scolded. Li Chengqian, who finally recovered from a serious illness, Empress Changsun was really afraid of losing Li Chengqian.

"Okay, that's all for today. One of your men was badly wounded, but a few of them were also dead. Li Shimin said with a smile.

"Yes." Li Chengqian nodded.

"Shi clan, although our strength is not enough to fight at this time, as long as your restaurant and tea division are established. Then, the extermination of the nobles is just around the corner. The most important thing is money. Without money, they can't do anything. Li Shimin continued to laugh.

"If they continue to mess with me, then I won't let them have a good time." Li Chengqian's eyes flashed with anger, and he secretly swore in his heart.

As a loser, Li Chengqian naturally didn't want someone to be watching from above, or that there were several forces secretly watching. In this way, it is very uncomfortable for the loser. Because, the loser pays attention to doing whatever he wants, how can he do whatever he wants when he is stared at?
