In Chang'an Taiji Palace, Li Jiancheng heard the secret report of the Qilin Secret Guard, and smiled slightly:

"Humph! I knew that Chengdao was too emotional. Li Jiancheng smiled in his heart - however, this is fine, everything, there must be containment, no matter what, Buddhism is a foreign religion, although it has been transformed by Chinese Confucianism, but, after all, it is a foreign religion, the ancestors have a good saying - now Buddhism is too powerful, and Taoism is still sitting in a corner of the Central Plains, you know, Taoism is equivalent to the state religion, if the living space is suppressed by Buddhism too much, it is not good for Li Tang's imperial power, you know, later Wu Zetian was able to get rid of Tang Ming and change Tang to Zhou, It was with the help of the teachings and power of Buddhism that she successfully became the Empress of Wu Zhou. However, now, Master Sanzang has developed to the northwest, and there is still a blank space in Liaodong, just let the Taoists go, and when the time comes, Buddhism will come from the west, and Taoism will go from the east, and it may even affect Europe. When it came to the early dynasty of the Great Dynasty, Li Chengdao wrote to Li Jiancheng.

"Father, the son has a play!"

"Speak!"

"Your Majesty, King Zhao and Li Chengdao, the old monarch and the master of the Guanguan Xie Hong, were inspired by my emperor's grace and hoped to lead the disciples to go out of the Central Plains and go to the gate to spread my Taoist scriptures. Erchen was entrusted by Daoist Xie Hong to recommend it to his father. After Li Jiancheng heard this, he was noncommittal. Sitting on the dragon chair and not speaking, Li Chengdao didn't know what Li Jiancheng meant. I had to stand there awkwardly. After a while, Li Jiancheng spoke.

"Hmmm! Daoist Xie Hong has a heart to serve the country, and I am very relieved. Good! Canonized Xie Hong as the Northeast Xuanfu Immortal Master and gave him a golden seal. Also, Liaodong is cold and bitter, and the Northeast Xuanfu Immortal Master is given 100 brocades, 1,000 pieces of cloth, and 100 sheepskins. In addition, give 10,000 taels of silver to Lao Junguan. ”

"Erchen thanked Xie Hong for Daoist Xie!" Li Chengdao was about to return to work, when Li Jiancheng spoke again.

"King Zhao!" Li Chengdao felt strange, Li Jiancheng usually called himself Chengdao, and rarely called himself an official title, and his tone was a little harsh.

"Father, the son is here!"

"King Zhao, are you guilty?" Li Chengdao stood in place, not knowing what he had done that made Li Jiancheng feel unpleasant, and he was stunned for a while.

"Bold, King Zhao, you still don't know the crime! Don't hurry up and kneel down with me! Li Chengdao heard that Li Jiancheng was really angry. Quickly get to your knees.

"Father, son-in-law, son-in-law doesn't know......" Li Jiancheng snorted:

"Humph! I'm here to ask you! Have you finished the errand I have assigned you? ”

"Oh! Father! Erchen is handling it! ”

"It's being handled, that is, it's not done yet! Darn! Li Jiancheng roared, and also hit the dragon case by the way. The officials and clansmen of the entire court immediately knelt down.

"Your Majesty is angry!" Li Chengdao also quickly knelt down.

"Father! Erchen, Erchen ......" Li Jiancheng did not let Li Chengdao continue to explain. said to Mingyu's father-in-law beside him:

"Mingyu, pass on the decree, King Zhao Li Chengdao is disrespectful and violates the holy will, so order the Imperial Forest Army to put King Zhao Li Chengdao under house arrest in King Zhao's mansion, and no one is allowed to disturb King Zhao to think about it behind closed doors!"

"Father! Erchen ......"

"King Zhao, haven't you heard my words clearly? Someone! Quickly escort King Zhao back to King Zhao's mansion! Without my will, no one is allowed to disturb King Zhao's thoughts! Then, Li Jiancheng slowed down his speech again.

"Remember, do your thing, and when you're done, do something else. Mingyu! Send King Zhao back to King Zhao's mansion! Li Jiancheng secretly glanced at Mingyu, and then stood up from the dragon seat, Mingyu's father-in-law nodded, and shouted loudly:

"Retreat!" Subsequently, Mingyu's father-in-law walked in front of King Zhao:

"His Royal Highness King Zhao, Your Majesty's meaning is already very clear, fix the "Clan Chronicles" in King Zhao's Mansion, and your Majesty will arrange other things!" After speaking, Mingyu's father-in-law immediately waved his hand and asked the two Imperial Forest Army to take Zhao King Li Chengdao out. The officials present were all talking, and they didn't know why Li Jiancheng was so angry. Some people are happy, some people are strange, and some people regret it. When Li Jiancheng returned to the harem, he saw the noble concubine Yang Yan kneeling on the ground.

"Your Majesty! Everything is the fault of the concubine, and the concubine has no way to teach her son! Let King Zhao make a big mistake! Please forgive your Majesty for the mistakes of Chengdao! I beg your majesty to be merciful! Li Jiancheng saw Yang Yan kneeling on the ground and pleading for his son, which was really a little funny. Immediately helped Yang Yan up.

"Concubine! You get up first! ”

"Your Majesty! Everything is the fault of the concubine! Please be gracious, Your Majesty! Remembering Chengdao's young and ignorant age, as well as his relationship with his concubines, forgive Chengdao's mistakes! Li Jiancheng looked at Yang Yan as if he was very irritable. Waving his hand, he said to the eunuch waiting beside him:

"Someone! The noble concubine Yang Yan interfered in the government and politics, and immediately put her under house arrest in the dormitory, thinking about it behind closed doors. In addition, a fine of three months! Come! Give the concubine back to her bedroom! Without my will, no one is allowed to meet with the concubine. After Yang Yan listened to Li Jiancheng's words, her voice became louder. and immediately crawled over and grabbed Li Jiancheng's pants.

"Your Majesty! Please be gracious, Your Majesty! King Zhao, he is your son after all, please be gracious to Your Majesty! ”

"Leave me now! “

"Your Majesty! Please be gracious, Your Majesty! Looking at Yang Yan's distant figure. Li Jiancheng shook his head - 'Ai Concubine! I also have a hard time. It's just that I can't tell you clearly! In order to ensure the smooth revision of the "Clan Chronicles", Li Jiancheng's purpose was to evaluate the rank based on the official titles of the imperial court and his contribution to the establishment of Li Tang, but he also hinted at Li Chengdao to slightly elevate the status of the Guanlong clan. Such a measure caused panic and dissatisfaction among the two old families. These two families are the Qilu Cui clan and the Lu clan. Because, in terms of the officials of the imperial court, the officials of the Longxi clan are originally higher than those of the Kanto clan, such as Li Tang's relatives Dugu family and Dou family, there are more than a dozen dukes of Guangguo, and the other Guanlong families are not so prominent, but there are dozens of county dukes and county dukes combined. And in the center of Li Tang, six or seven out of ten officials were born in the Longxi area of Guanzhong. The Kwantung clan, especially the Jiangnan clan, suffered a great blow due to the unification of the north with the south, which caused the Wang, Xie, Gu, Lu, Xiao and other clans to suffer a big blow. However, the Zhang family in Jiangnan and the Cao family and Heng family in Qilu, who were related by marriage to Wang, Xie, Gu, Lu and other in-laws, accumulated wealth that rivaled the country through commerce, and contributed a lot of financial resources and support in the more than ten years that Li Jiancheng succeeded to the throne and ascended the throne. Even the Cao family sent their own woman to Li Jiancheng's harem. Li Jiancheng repaid the favor by allowing more than 100 children of the Cao family, the Heng family and the Zhang family in Jiangnan to pass the imperial examination and become Li Tang's imperial officials. In addition, Li Chengdao still has the bloodline of the Xiao family, which makes these families have a little more face in the "Clan Chronicles". And the most prominent of the original family, the Qilu Cui clan and the Lu clan. The Cui family was the first Han to cooperate with the Xianbei people in the Sinicization reform of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and it was also the Han people with the highest status in addition to the royal family during the Northern Wei Dynasty to the former Sui Dynasty. But because he was involved in the former Sui incident, he stood on the wrong team, so that he was constantly suppressed. In the Li Tang period, except for being immersed in the glory of the ancestral bloodline, there were no more dignitaries in the Li Tang court. Therefore, it was reduced to the Shu clan in the "Chronicles of the Clan". Cui and Lu were deeply ashamed. I feel that I am a noble family but in the company of the common people! Deeply ashamed. In order to regain his lost dignity. The Cui family and the Lu family secretly linked their in-laws, and even found a way for Cheng Yanjin (Cheng Yanjin's second wife was born in the Cui family of Qinghe).

"What? Cui Jiayong. You want me to turn this piece into a holy and impeach King Zhao! ”

"Yes! Brother-in-law! For the sake of your relatives, please pass this fold to the Holy One! You must know that the general was born recklessly, and he was a general, and he was still a confidant of His Royal Highness King Qin! Although, today's saint employs people in an eclectic way, and gives you a heavy responsibility to your brother-in-law. But, brother-in-law, don't forget, in the eyes of those big officials in the imperial court, brother-in-law, you are still from a mud-legged background! If my sister hadn't admired your exploits, you wouldn't have married! Do you think you will be able to marry the noble daughter of our family? Now, our Cui family is in trouble, brother-in-law, don't you help and pull our Cui family a hand! Cui Jiayong's words were a little mean. Cheng Yanjin couldn't accept it. However, Cheng Yanjin had to admit that what Cui Jiayong said was the truth - at the beginning, Li Shimin failed to seize the throne, and Cheng Yanjin and Qin Shubao and other old generals of the Qin Wangfu returned to the crown prince Li Jiancheng, and after Li Jiancheng ascended the throne, although he still gave important responsibilities to Cheng Yanjin and other old people of the Qin Palace. Reward always. However, the officials of the imperial court, especially those who were born in the family and the prince's East Palace, would still ridicule Cheng from time to time. Later, Cui Jiayong's father, the patriarch of the Cui family in Qinghe at that time, admired Cheng Yanjin's exploits with his daughter, and recruited Cheng Yanjin as his son-in-law with great fanfare, and constantly introduced Cheng Yanjin among his in-laws, so that Cheng Yanjin did not have the embarrassment he had at the beginning. Cheng Yanjin nodded.

"Ahh Thank you brother-in-law! Cui Jiayong left Cheng Yanjin's mansion with great gratitude. Cheng Yanjin looked at the book and sighed. Prepare to pick up the fold and put it on the candle to burn.

"Officials and slow!"

"Madame!" Mrs. Cui brought the fold over.

"Husband! This book can't be burned! ”

"Madame! This book will send our whole family to the guillotine! Mrs. Cui picked up the fold and looked at it.

"Husband, this is the emperor's recital. I want to show it to the emperor! ”

"Ahh Madam! The emperor will definitely be furious when he sees it, and when the time comes, Lord Yuezhang will be ...... Mrs. Cui smiled:

"Heaven is forgivable, but it is not possible to live. A woman marries and obeys her husband. And loyalty precedes filial piety. Mrs. Cui gave birth to a son for Cheng Yanjin, and Mrs. Cui also knew in her heart that her glory and wealth were not in her mother's family. Naturally, I have to plan for myself and my children. After Li Jiancheng saw Cheng Yanjin's secret handover, he angrily threw the fold on the ground.

"What a guts!" The reason is stated on the fold, the Cui family and the Lu family are very dissatisfied with Li Chengdao's revision of the "Clan Chronicles", saying that they were suppressed for no reason, and hope that Li Jiancheng will seek justice for himself. Li Jiancheng knew that this letter was ostensibly the Cui family and the Lu family, but in fact, it was the old family who hoped to use the Cui family and the Lu family to regain the privileges they had lost. Moreover, let Cheng Yanjin turn the performance, this is to make Li Jiancheng have scruples - Cheng Yanjin is a general, and he was born in the Qin Palace, and he made great contributions in the Battle of Mobei, and was named the Duke of Lu by Li Jiancheng. If Cheng bites the gold, it will make the original Qin Wangfu generals feel suppressed, and in case someone instigates it, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no mutiny. What's more, Li Jiancheng will have a reputation for being mean and unkind. If Cheng Biting Jin is not punished, then, in the "Chronicles of the Clan", Li Jiancheng must make appropriate concessions. Li Jiancheng knew very well in his heart that in this matter, he must not retreat, if he retreated, then in the future. There will be more clans riding on Li Jiancheng's head.

"Mrs. Cheng! Flat! General Cheng, you get up too! Li Jiancheng called Mrs. Cui Mrs. Cheng, which is equivalent to taking Mrs. Cui out of this matter. When the time comes, Mrs. Cui will not be implicated.

"Mrs. Cheng understands the righteousness and is very relieved! Passing on my will, General Cheng's wife is well aware of righteousness, virtuous and virtuous, and can be called a model of my Tang lady. Give Mrs. Cheng a hundred horses of cloth! ”

"Courtier, thank you, Lord Longen!" Li Jiancheng nodded. After Cheng Yanjin and his wife left, Li Jiancheng picked up the copy and looked at the name on it.

"Humph! Lu Yazhi, the eight-pin school secretary of the National History Museum, Cui Jiayong, the eight-pin superintendent of the Imperial History Observatory, and Cui He, the eight-pin priest of the Ministry of Rites. I don't think you people know what you're doing. It just so happens that in the area of Liaodong, because no family is willing to go, you go over, just open up the wasteland! so that you may bring the common people with you. Li Jiancheng received a report from the local officials in Youzhou, saying that the common people and wounded soldiers who stayed in Youzhou were shouting: The family enjoys happiness in the Central Plains, and we shed blood for the country, but we are assigned to a bitter cold land, and the world is unfair. Therefore, Li Jiancheng began to understand that in order to allow those ordinary people and wounded soldiers to migrate to Liaodong smoothly, the family must set an example. Moreover, although the Cui family and the Lu family are dilapidated, they still occupy a prominent position in the hearts of the family. And it doesn't have much influence in the imperial court, so it just happens to be used as a chicken to scare monkeys. In order to protect the king of Zhao, Lee Chengdao. Therefore, Li Jiancheng took the opportunity to deliberately make Li Chengdao, the king of Zhao, angry, and asked Li Chengdao to think about it behind closed doors in the palace of King Zhao and refuse visitors, so that Li Chengdao could revise "Clan Chronicles" with peace of mind and not be disturbed by others. There is also one less target for the Maison to attack. Just when Li Jiancheng laughed out loud about his seamless plan, Mingyu's father-in-law returned.
