Chapter 167: The throne belongs to the Li family, but the world is not

Prosperity is too much, it is lonely.

After the noisy night feast, there was silence and wretchedness.

The eldest grandson Wuji and the eldest grandson Chong are both wearing white linen clothes, the father and son are both ministers of the court, purple robe goldfish bag, one is still the emperor's uncle, and the other is the emperor's brother-in-law. They had reached a position where they did not need to wear purple robes to show their status, and no matter what they were wearing, just a few words of the eldest grandson were enough.

The young eldest grandson Chong looked at his father with some puzzlement, looking at this aging old man. He sometimes doesn't know what his father is still working so, he goes to the court every day rain or shine, and goes to the Zhongshu door to watch things and work. No matter how big or small, he always has to take care of it.

There are so many prime ministers in the DPRK and China, but in the past few years, almost all of them have been presided over by their fathers.

My father is already a great minister, so what is he still fighting for? What else is he trying so hard to do, especially now that he is still fighting with the emperor.

This shouldn't be, this country belongs to the Tang Dynasty, even if my father is entrusted with a lonely minister, but don't forget that the one sitting on the dragon chair is the current emperor.

Although the eldest grandson Chong is a son of a famous family, he is not a gentleman's son, he is Yunwen and Yunwu, and his ability is also very strong among the brothers of the nobles of Guanlong.

He is talented, but he has a gentle personality and is very popular in the DPRK.

"Father, Your Majesty has something to say today."

"There are words in the words, the emperor is disgusted with me." The eldest grandson Wuji picked up a glass of wine and drank it all. This is a cup of Lanxi medicinal wine that is now popular in Chang'an, and it is said to be good for his wind disease. The major pharmacies in Chang'an have no price, but his eldest grandson Wuji is naturally not lacking.

The wine is very strong in the throat, but it also has a very unique mellowness.

I don't know if it was because he drank too quickly, or because he was in a bad mood at this time, his face was flushed, and he reached out and pulled the neckline of his sackcloth, revealing half of his hairy chest.

Although the eldest grandson is a member of the Wenchen, he also followed Li Shimin to fight the world immediately in his early years, especially their eldest grandson was the royal family of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the eldest grandson family entered the Zhou, Sui, and Tang dynasties from Wei to Zhou, Sui, and Tang, which were all generals. His father, Changsun Sheng, was a well-known grassland strategy expert in the Great Sui Dynasty, and his archery skills were even more superb.

The idiom of killing two birds with one stone also came from his father, when his father was an envoy of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, who went to the Turkic steppe as an envoy, and shot down the two eagles with an arrow on the way, which caused the Turks to be shocked and worshipped.

The eldest grandson picked up a fan and slapped it for his father.

"Why didn't Father just step down?" The eldest grandson asked.

"Why do you think I won't give back? Fetish power? The eldest grandson Wuji asked his son.

Eldest Sun Chong felt in his heart that his father was a little bit of a power-lover, for example, he and Chu Suiliang were both ministers who took care of their lives, but in fact, his father's desire for power was obviously stronger, and he had to grasp big and small things, and he had to take care of everything.

And the older the father, the more obvious this situation becomes.

Now that the emperor's brother-in-law has grown up, he obviously wants to be in charge of the government, but his father just refuses to let go of power.

"I'm not in love with power and refuse to leave, I just can't rest assured that the emperor is just a frizzy young man who thinks he has matured, so he always wants to take over power. But he didn't know how heavy this power was, and if he didn't have enough ability, it would not be a good thing for him to take over this power too early, it would only be a bad thing. ”

If you want to wear a crown, you must first bear its weight.

Although Taizong had already mastered the world at a very early age, he was less than thirty years old when he became emperor. But Taizong began to fight the world at the age of sixteen, and along the way, he fought in the court and fought in the court, and he came over in great danger.

Along the way, it was extremely dangerous, and it was sharpened early.

But Li Zhi is different, his temperament is weaker, this kind of temperament is good when he is a prince, but when he is an emperor, this kind of temperament is too weak.

It's not that Li Zhi can face everything after sitting on the throne for five years.

"I was a friend with Taizong back then, and I accompanied him to lay down the Tang Dynasty, step by step, not only with blood and rain, but also with food and clothing, which is not easy. Now Datang seems to be stable, but how many people can see the undercurrent under this surface? ”

"I am not only Taizong Tuogu's minister, but also the emperor's uncle, I can't watch him make mistakes, I can only give him one more ride."

He sighed, "Why do you think I want to make a big deal about the murder of the house?" ”

He didn't wait for his son to answer, so he continued to talk to himself, "The scepter of the Tang Emperor is still full of thorns, I am the knife left by Emperor Taizong, and I want the new emperor to cut off those thorns little by little." ”

The case of Fang Yiai's love is just a farce of a few ignorant and stupid guys, but the eldest grandson Wuji grabbed it, and even deliberately fished, and then expanded, involving countless clan honors and heroes, why?

In order to help the emperor secure the throne.

He raised his sword and helped the emperor cut off many thorns.

The first knife was slashed at a new rising force when the Tang Dynasty was founded, Shandong Haoqiang Group, the representative of this group is Li Ji, Fang Xuanling, Qin Shubao and others, they are all born in Shandong strong landlords or small clans, different from the Kwantung clan gate lords, they used to have a high status, in the chaotic times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, they started with military merits, and have strong strength in the Tang Dynasty.

Especially Fang Xuanling has been the prime minister for decades, and his protΓ©gΓ©s are all over the world.

The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't wait to clean up the Fang family with the love of the Fang family, not that he had many old grudges with Fang Xuanling, he actually respected Fang Xuanling's old partner, but for the stability of the new emperor's throne, he had to flatten the Fang family, and the very strong relationship network that Fang Xuanling had established for decades also hit Shandong Haoqiang Group.

His second knife was slashed at Li Tang's clan, including Li Zhi's uncle Jing Wang Yuanjing and other sons of Gaozu, as well as several Li Zhi's brothers, such as Wu Wangke and others, who were the most threatening to the emperor in the clan.

The third knife slashed at Xun Qi, several concubines, not only horses, but also most of them are meritorious children, and even famous heroes, such as stubborn thinking power, such as Xue Wanche, such as Chai Lingwu, etc., these people are actually insiders who belong to the Guanlong Group.

And they are all famous military generals, with high merit and strong force.

The eldest grandson Wuji cut them, that is, to cut off the threat within the Guanlong group for the emperor, and at the same time, it was also to weaken the increasingly powerful Guanlong group, especially the military general group.

With these three knives, one slashed the Shandong Haoqiang Group, one slashed the clan relatives, and the other slashed at the Guanlong Group where he was located.

Even because of these three knives, the eldest grandson Wuji lost a lot of points in the Guanlong Group and received a lot of criticism.

What is all this for?

For the sake of power? If it was for his own power, then he would not have cut these three knives, at least for those people in the Guanlong Group, he would only win over and not suppress.

However, who can truly understand his painstaking efforts.

He lost his reputation, Daxingfang's bereaved rebellion, and even had a dispute with the emperor to execute Li Ke and exile Yuwenjie, this is not a personal vendetta, it is all for the emperor.

Today, however, the emperor is aggressive.

The once tame dog cub has grown into a fierce wolf.

"Father, since the emperor can't wait any longer, then Father might as well retreat bravely, so as to avoid conflicts with Your Majesty."

Eldest Sun Wuji shook his head, he had thought about this question.

But he is not at ease, he is really not at ease. Li Zhi is still too young, born in the deep palace and grew up in the hands of women, without any experience, such a young emperor will not have any good results if he controls power early.

"I'm not worried, I have to help him a little longer!" The eldest grandson Wuji sighed.

"But Your Majesty doesn't want your father to protect him, and there are no fathers in the court, and there are still Li Jiyou, Chu Suiliang, Yu Zhining and other old ministers."

The eldest grandson Wuji shook his head, "Yu Zhining is a nodding prime minister, he will not fight with the emperor about anything, whether it is right or wrong." And Chu Suiliang, do you think Your Majesty can't tolerate me, how can you tolerate him. Besides, Li Ji may not be a loyal minister, and then look at the new prime ministers that His Majesty has recently worshipped, Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong, who are these people? It was trampled on by your father and me, these people are traitors, and they are by no means loyal ministers and direct ministers, such people assist Your Majesty and preside over the government, which is the misfortune of the world. ”

What's more, when is it, now is the most critical time.

The emperor is bent on abolishing the queen and the crown prince, which is something he will never allow.

Especially the crown prince, the prince is the capital of the country.

The crown prince is not at fault for being the eldest son, and it is too child's play to abolish it easily, which is a big mistake to shake the country's foundation. Since he is still in power, he cannot allow this kind of thing to happen.

Wu? It's just a talented person in Taizong back then, this woman also wants to be the queen, and she also wants her son to be the prince? It is absolutely impossible, unless his eldest grandson Wuji dies.

"Father, why bother? This world is the world of the Li family of the Tang Dynasty. ”

The meaning of the eldest grandson chong is obvious, although their eldest grandson family is a relative, to put it bluntly, they are only the courtiers of the Li family. Those who are courtiers are divided into ministers.

"Datang belongs to the Li family, but not all the world belongs to the Li family." The eldest grandson said something surprising.

This world was fought by his eldest grandson Wuji and many meritorious soldiers, the throne belongs to the Li family, but the world is also from other meritorious heroes.

This kind of thinking is actually not the first one his eldest grandson Wuji has.

This kind of thinking is actually the Guanlong standard method since the Western Wei Dynasty, and this concept has also created a powerful Guanlong aristocratic group that has lasted for several dynasties.

Whether it is the Western Wei Dynasty, the Northern Zhou Dynasty, or the Sui and Tang Dynasties, each dynasty has one surname and one emperor, but the nobles of several dynasties are still those people.

Since the eldest grandson Wuji came to power, although in order to protect the imperial power, he has also eliminated many insiders of the Guanlong Group, but he has always been constantly expanding the Guanlong Group, and only those who are unruly and threaten the imperial power have been eliminated.

In the heart of the eldest grandson Wuji, he is still an old-school Guanlong nobleman, and the emperor is seated by the Li family, but this country should still be supported by the Guanlong group.
