Chapter 087: Plan Ahead
Zheng Liwan saw Li Shimin's intentions to deal with the scholars from a series of things such as Luo Tong's words, the establishment of the library and the handling of the Wang Zijian incident in a small way, the royal family was helpless to the scholars in the past, because the scholars controlled the knowledge, but the appearance of sharp weapons such as ink history paper and ink books made the scholars lose their greatest support, Li Shimin only needs to wait for another three or five years to be able to press the scholars into a small corner, after all, the number of scholars is so large, how can it be compared to thousands of people? She knew that the scholars would never be able to threaten the royal family again, and their decline was a foregone conclusion!
She was worried about Xingyang Zheng's conspiracy to jump over the wall to deal with Luo Tong, and she was even more afraid that her pedantic and upright father would be fooled and become an accomplice of Xingyang Zheng's! Thus embarking on the point of no return. So he secretly eavesdropped on the conversation between Zheng Renji and the messenger!
She originally thought that the Zheng family in Xingyang would use the condition of recognizing her ancestors and being included in the family tree to let her father put pressure on her, so that she could serve the Zheng family!
But when I heard it, I almost didn't make Zheng Liwan angry.
She found that she thought of the Xingyang Zheng family too kindly, not only did they look down on their father and daughter, but they also shamelessly asked her to give up the position of equal wife, or retreat to the concubine and the descendant woman! This anger surged into my heart all of a sudden!
It's just that she lost her position as a wife, after all, it was a mistake, and there was no conflict of interest, and Changle had always respected her as a sister, so she had no objection to Changle and her wife.
But this Xingyang Zheng family is so shameless, asking their father and daughter to sacrifice for the Xingyang Zheng family, which is only connected by the word "Zheng", and it is still a necessary and natural order in tone. Angry and hateful, he felt worthless for his father, and what he had been looking forward to all his life was an order to make his baby daughter give way as a concubine. Zheng Liwan, who felt sorry for her father, couldn't stop her tears from rolling down, and came to Luo Tong in annoyance.
For Luo Tong, Zheng Liwan has nothing to hide, and told all the news she got and how she got the news!
Luo Tong listened to the whole incident, and he was also ridiculous.
Zheng Liwan's image outside is a big girl, this big girl is beautiful, knowledgeable and courteous, and she won't do such things as eavesdropping. As her father, Zheng Renji didn't have much defense against her. Only Luo informed what was the matter with this lady's show, of course, Zheng Liwan herself never regarded herself as a lady's show.
Zheng Liwan's eyes sparkled, and she said worriedly: "If you don't withdraw from the marriage, my father will not be at all." Your ink history paper and ink book are things that dig up people's foundations, and I'm worried that those people and dogs will jump over the wall and bite people indiscriminately. They are unscrupulous people who will do whatever it takes to achieve their ends, so you have to be careful and go out with a few more guards. ”
For Zheng Liwan's reminder, Luo Tong is deeply moved!
But for her worries, Luo Tong smiled calmly and said, "I'm the best at assassination, you don't have to worry." ”
"But ......" Zheng Liwan was a little dissatisfied.
Luo Tong didn't let her continue, and said, "Okay, okay, let's have the bottom in our hearts!" It's that you have no power to restrain the chicken, there is a big problem with this security, I'm worried that those people will attack you, and they will let Wanyue and Meiyue take five Xiangxiong female guards with you for a while! They are the two youngest of Jin Fengwei, weaker but better than alert! More than enough to deal with the average Assassin. I'll wait until I find someone more suitable. ”
When Zheng Liwan heard Luo Tong's arrangement, she was deeply moved in her heart, and kissed Luo Tong with a very sweet smile, but shook her head and said: "Jin Fengwei and the new female guard are the close servants of Sister Yaochi, and protecting Sister Yaochi is their mission, how can I ask for it?" ”
"Why can't you ask for it, why can't you ask for it?" Before Luo Tong could speak, Yao Chi's voice came, and when she heard that the eldest sister Zheng Liwan was crying "go home", she left her princess guards and ran over, she just heard Zheng Liwan's words, so she raised her voice from afar!
Zheng Liwan shyly broke free from Luo Tong's embrace, but saw Princess Yaochi running over with a scimitar.
Luo Tong told Yaochi about sending someone to protect Zheng Liwan, and as expected, Yaochi readily agreed.
Zheng Liwan was embarrassed and said, "How can that work?" ”
Princess Yaochi took her hand and said affectionately: "My Lang Jun is the eldest sister's Lang Jun, and my guards are also the eldest sister's guards!" My sister doesn't know martial arts, so it's appropriate to divide half according to me. ”
"Yaochi said well, we don't distinguish between each other, just do what I say. I will write a letter to Lingzhou, and ask Aunt Hongfu to help find a few heroes with strong martial arts, and I am better at dealing with assassins or people in the rivers and lakes. Luo Tong looked at a pair of jade sisters, and couldn't help but be a little complacent, stepped forward with one in one hand, and hugged the two girls in his arms in the low voice of the two women.
He is a person in the 21st century, and he is very open to hugging and hugging, and the second daughter has not let him hug and hug, but this is the first time to hug left and right. Feeling the beauty of the beauties on the left and right under the thin clothes, smelling the two completely different fragrances, I can't help but flutter.
Yao Chi is not averse to the intimacy with Luo Tong, but likes this intimacy very much. When the two of them hugged each other during the march, she could treat it calmly, and stick to him generously, just like a man and woman in love in the 21st century. Although they haven't gotten married yet, they've done everything except for a step-by-door, kissing and hugging.
Zheng Liwan is of course eccentric, but in the final analysis, she is still a Central Plains woman with a traditional education, with a woman's slender heart, where did she think that she would encounter this situation, she didn't know how to react for a while, and her body seemed a little stiff.
Luo Tong saw that they did not object. More boldly, he lowered his head left and incense Zheng Liwan's cheek, raised his right hand and kissed Yaochi's cheek, his palm involuntarily slid down his waist, and stopped on the two pairs of plump jade buttocks and stroked gently.
Zheng Liwan felt the strange hand, and was even more ashamed, Yao Chi couldn't hold it anymore, looked up and saw Luo Tong's dark face, and invariably stretched out two fingers, grabbed the epidermis of Luo Tong's hand that was strange to them, picked it up and turned around half a circle.
"Shhh
Luo Tong's mouth was crooked, his eyes were straight, and he couldn't stop inhaling cold air. Hurriedly begged for mercy.
Zheng Liwan and Princess Yaochi snorted coldly and went to choose the guards hand in hand.
Luo Tong stayed in place for a moment, his expression serious. This kind of thing was prepared when he decided to use the new paper to assist Li Shimin in dealing with the Shi clan, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly. He knew that the four families of Cui, Lu, Wang, and Li did not move because they considered Zheng Liwan's identity as a side branch of the Zheng clan in Xingyang, but once Zheng Renji, Zheng Liwan and the Zheng clan in Xingyang had a stalemate, the conspiracy, assassination, robbery, coercion and temptation of the major scholars who had no worries would follow one after another.
He doesn't know how powerful the Shi clan is, but just based on the compromise or high pressure of Yang Jian, Yang Guang, and Li Yuan, as well as the historical fact that Li Shimin couldn't solve the Shi clan in his life, he can know the terrible Shi clan, and the emperor who sits on the world is still like this, what can he Luo Tong do? He is confident that he has the ability to deal with all conspiracies and tricks, and he is not worried about the safety of Changle and Yaochi, he doesn't think that the Shi clan will be stupid enough to assassinate Changle and Yaochi and let Li Shimin take the opportunity to play! The only thing I'm worried about now is Zheng Liwan, who has no backing. As long as Zheng Liwan dies, all families will have the opportunity to befriend themselves through marriage, so as to get one step closer to papermaking. It was precisely because of this concern that Yaochi's guards were sent to protect Zheng Liwan, but he did not doubt the loyalty and force of Wanyue and Meiyue, but their alertness was only relative to Jin Fengwei and Zhangxiong female guards, and compared with the killers of the Central Plains, they were still in the apprenticeship stage.
In view of this, Luo Tong thought about letting the newly recognized "aunt" Red Whisk Girl help find a chivalrous woman, Red Whisk Girl was the most famous person in the troubled times of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, she loved and hated clearly, but she knew that she had friends all over the world, it can be seen that her friends are also good men with clear grievances, and the person she recommended Luo Tong believes that only by ensuring the safety of his family, he Luo Tong can take the initiative to attack, otherwise, he can only passively see the moves, tired of coping. In addition to his family, it is the safety of Shi Zhiguo and the workshop, this aspect can only be solved by Li Shimin, the workshop area of Wannian County is remote, and Li Shimin only needs to send one or two strong 100-person teams to assist in the defense.
Thinking like this, he entered the palace to face the saint and told the dynamics of the scholars, Li Shimin attached great importance to it, sent a team of 100 people to guard the workshop, and reassured Luo Tong, saying that everything was under control. Meeting Li Shimin's gaze, Luo Tong understood that before announcing the library plan, the young emperor had already prepared some things in advance. With the advent of ink history paper, ink books, and libraries, the court's dependence on the scholars has dropped to the lowest in history, and it will become lower and lower in the future, and the scholars have completely lost the means of elbowing the court! In the future, Li Shimin could play as much as he wanted, and the scholars completely lost the right to speak. At this time, the crime just gave Li Shimin an excuse to deal with them! Now walking on thin ice should be a nobleman, not oneself.
Luo Tong also felt that he was a little more sensitive, the scholar clan had been inherited for nearly a thousand years, and if he was a brainless person, he would have long been annihilated in the dust of history. In troubled times, they can kill and assassinate without any worries, and wouldn't it be self-destruction to do it when they are peaceful? The scholars are all human spirits, how can they not understand that Li Shimin is waiting for them to commit a crime!
