Chapter 220: I Asked Him to Do It (Part 25)

It's just that he is unhappy in his heart, but Li Shimin still pretended to be kind and asked, "Why is Li Lao Aiqing crying?" Could it be that he has suffered any grievances? I can't help but tell me that if Li Lao Aiqing is in charge, I will be the master of Lao Aiqing. ”

Li Zhengdao couldn't cry: "Minister...... The reason why the minister is sad is not for himself or his family, but because he is worried about the future of Datang. ”

"Wow!" These words can be described as earth-shattering, which has caused many people to review frequently, wanting to see how much bear heart and leopard guts Li Zhengdao has eaten, and dare to say such rebellious words.

"Oh? What did Aiqing say? Li Shimin's brows couldn't help frowning, and he asked in a cold voice: "Could it be that my Datang will have some disasters in the future?" ”

"It's not just a disaster, it's a disaster for the country."

"Aiqing, you can't talk nonsense." Li Shimin's eyes narrowed slightly, and an invisible murderous aura radiated: "I want to listen, my Datang is now a country and the people are safe, where is the disaster of the country?" ”

Li Zhengdao didn't answer and asked: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, the minister heard outside that His Royal Highness King Yue once slaughtered a city in Linyi, is this rumor true or false?" ”

"This ......" Li Shimin was a little embarrassed, this kind of thing can not be said, even if this is the truth, but as a heavenly family, it cannot be admitted, he didn't expect Li Zhengdao to ask him directly, and he couldn't help but fall into a dilemma.

When Li Zhengdao saw Li Shimin's expression, he immediately hit the snake with the stick, and continued to ask: "Please also ask the emperor to answer truthfully." ”

"This ...... That's true. After thinking about it, Li Shimin still gave an affirmative answer, not that he didn't want to deny it, but this kind of thing is too easy to verify, and it has been spread among the people. Even if Li Shimin denies it now, as long as someone with a heart goes to the field, he will definitely be able to find out the truth, and the previous concealment is not only meaningless, but Li Shimin himself will have to bear the reputation of lying - this is a big stain on an emperor.

Besides, even if you admit it, what can you do? Even if people who are biased towards Li Zhen know what Li Zhen did, they will still be biased towards Li Zhen. On the contrary, those who hate Li Zhen, no matter how good Li Zhen is, they will not have a good impression of Li Zhen...... simply admitted the matter, and by the way, let's see what tricks this Li Zhengdao is playing.

“…… How did the emperor admit it? This is what most people think, and these people don't know about Li Shimin.

And the people who really know Li Shimin all showed such a local expression, knowing that Li Shimin would take the initiative to admit it. After all, whether others praise or scold, with Li Zhen's current status and power, he doesn't have to care about these things at all.

As long as he is not a fool, he can basically understand Li Shimin's thoughts, and he sincerely cultivates Li Zhen as the next prince. Although he has not yet been crowned the crown prince, it is because Li Zhen is not in Chang'an, and the crown prince is a serious matter, and the person concerned is not there, so it cannot be crowned.

Even so, Li Shimin still gave Li Zhen the title of Admiral Tiance, allowed him to open a mansion and build a tooth independently, and assigned all the more potential teenagers in the major families to Li Zhen.

What's more, now that Li Zhenjun has no shortage of political and financial resources, do you still need to look at the faces of these old stubborns?

text, Li Zhen has the support of many high-level officials of the imperial court, such as Fang Xuanling, Du Ruxuan, Wei Zheng, etc., and the students of Wentian Shuyuan echo each other from afar in the local area. These students are all elites, each of them is a diligent political expert, although the position is not too high now, but the potential is huge, I believe that as long as they are given another five or seven years, maybe some people will rise to the center of the court and become Li Zhen's right-hand man, and with Li Shimin's current situation, it should be no problem to help Li Zhen last another seven or eight years, even if Li Shimin dies, Li Zhen himself has a mature team, where is the need to look at the face of Confucianism and the family? Even when the time comes, it will be the turn of Confucianism and the family to look at Li Zhen's face and act.

The army, just the young army in Li Zhen's hands is already a very powerful force, and now Li Zhen has three major positions: Lingnan patrol envoy, Lingnan pacification envoy, and Nanyang recruitment envoy, each of which can lead the Lingnan army in a special period. It can be said that as long as he has this position, Li Zhen can command all the troops that reach Nanyang - not only the army of Lingnan Province, but even the army led by Hou Junji to support Li Zhen is also within his command. Not to mention that Li Zhen still has the name of General Tiance, this is not a false position, but a real job, and it is the existence that can lead the Sixteen Guards Forbidden Army.

As for financial resources, not to mention, it is now rumored that Li Zhen is the richest man in the world, and he makes money every day, and there is countless money, and the money Li Zhen earns every year alone is much more than the income of the treasury.

In other words, as long as Li Zhen is willing, he can form an independent court by himself at any time, and his dependence on the officials of the family will be greatly reduced, and without dependence, he naturally does not have to compromise with them, nor does he have to be restrained by them.

This is also the main reason why the family and Confucianism want to deal with Li Zhen - as for the so-called what does not cultivate benevolence, what does not respect scholars, what likes curiosity and skill, what likes to kill, and what does not respect the old and love the young (Li Zhen: I don't carry this pot, I haven't done this, they wronged me)......

These are all excuses, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty conquered the Xiongnu in the north, and simply turned the rich Han Empire into an economic crisis, the people were struggling to make a living, and the people rose up one after another, aren't those literati still praising his stinky feet? I didn't see a few people scolding him.

The real reason why these people want to get rid of Li Zhen in the first place is that Li Zhen is not under their control, and if Li Zhen is not controlled by them, it will become very difficult for them to continue to control the government, and it will even be impossible. If you can't control the court, you can't maintain your power, and if you don't have power, then who will still bird them? Their position will naturally become precarious, until it is clear to everyone - this is not what they want to see, so for their own interests, for their own rights and status, they must get Li Zhen down.

Li Shimin naturally saw what these people thought, smiled slightly, and said loudly: "I actually instructed Zhen'er to do this matter, does Lao Aiqing have any opinions?" ”

"Wow~"

As soon as these words came out, the hall was in an uproar, everyone looked at Li Shimin in shock, even Fang Du and others were puzzled, I don't know why Li Shimin carried this charge for Li Zhen, which is almost impossible for Li Shimin, who pays special attention to reputation, it is too unexpected.

The twenty-fifth watch, there are still five watches, continue to work hard.
