Of course, Li Shimin is not such a narrow-minded person, and putting Shi Lei in his current position is not casual, but after careful consideration, it can be said that he kills many birds with one stone. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Externally, mainly for the Feng family, Guangzhou is the seat of governance of the entire Lingnan Road, and it is also the most dedicated place in the whole Lingnan to the Tang Dynasty, and it can even be said to be a bridgehead to resist the invasion of the Feng family in case of changes in the Feng family. In such a place, the leader of the local garrison naturally has to be carefully screened.

And Shi Lei was chosen, on the one hand, because he and the Feng family got along well, and putting such a person in such a position would not put too much pressure on the Feng family, would not have a sense of oppression, and it would not be easy to intensify the contradictions between the two sides, so that the Feng family and the Tang Dynasty would deviate from morality.

On the other hand, Shi Lei is also a fierce general in the Tang Dynasty, and his deterrent power against the Feng family is strong enough, and in case of change, with such a fierce general as Shi Lei, Guangzhou will not be self-defeating.

Internally, putting Shi Lei in this position can be regarded as a means to maintain balance, which is not only to remind the Shi family to pay attention to the struggle with those two families and control the problem of one degree, but also a warning to those veteran nobles behind the Shi family.

On the other hand, it is also a warning to those two families, because the one who was replaced by Shi Lei could have been said to be a member of the Dou family, but it provided a lot of convenience for the Dou family's trade.

Part of the wealth accumulated by the Dou family over the years comes from large-scale industries such as coal mines, and of course, there is also a lot of share, which depends on foreign trade, and the main direction of the Dou family is the southeast.

This is not like the eldest grandson Wuji's side, his family's industry is mainly after Li Shimin came to power, and it was really expanded on a large scale, and some directions have been almost divided by those old nobles, and he can't easily open up the situation, so he is also aiming at those emerging markets, and this time he was almost beaten by the Shi family.

However, the Dou family not only cooperated with the local forces in Lingnan led by Feng An, but also involved the footprints of the caravan in the south, and even overseas, which was also an important reason why they had the confidence to find Feng Ang and want to persuade him to kill Shi Lei.

If the two families didn't know each other, they would have come to the door to find death in a hurry, if it weren't for the relationship between the two families, the dead man who had made great contributions to Shi Lei wouldn't even have the opportunity to see Feng An, how could he say his own conditions.

And Li Shimin got rid of this capable man of the Dou family, which will inevitably have a great impact on their family's trade, is it possible to expect Shi Lei to take care of his Dou family's business?

This disguised also borrowed Shi Lei's hand to further weaken the power of the Dou family, and achieved the effect of suppressing the power of the family that he has been tirelessly pursuing since he came to power.

At the same time, this is also a warning to the Dou family, and even all the families, it is okay to play with means, this kind of strategy of killing people with a knife will still be a red line, and whoever touches it will have to pay the price.

And putting Shi Lei in such a position, nominally to reward Shi Lei's participation in the suppression of the rebellion Lingnan bureaucrats, in fact, it is not a board raised high, and in the end, whether it falls lightly or hits Shi Lei hard, it still depends on how well he does as a party.

Everyone was eaten to death by Li Shimin, this is the means that a top chess player, a big man who is enough to decide the direction of the chessboard, should play.

It's just that Shi Lei definitely can't understand these things, he is still in a hurry, and he is worried about his future.

And Feng An, who has reached a certain level, can have a more accurate guess about the mentality of Li Shimin, the king, so he categorically rejected the conditions of the Dou family, and instead chose Shi Lei, who seemed to be weak. And after knowing Shi Lei's new position, he knew that he had made the right bet.

And on the Chang'an side, the eldest grandson Wuji, who has always been known as the roundworm in Li Shimin's stomach, also clearly understood Li Shimin's intentions, and then he found the head of the Du family, who had been a little haggard recently, and told his guess.

Of course, the other party is the object of suppression, so he will not say it, although he has cooperated before, but in this matter, his interests are more consistent with Li Shimin, and he can even be said to be the beneficiary, because he has a share of the interests that these old families are forced to vacate.

And the results of their deliberations spread almost throughout the noble circle of Chang'an the next day.

"I didn't expect the Shi family to be so powerful, and the Dou family and the eldest grandson family begged for mercy. Tsk, it seems that I will have to re-examine my relationship with the Shi family in the future. This is probably the most exclamation from the nobles.

Yes, the result of the discussion between the eldest grandson Wuji and the Dou family was to go to the Shi family to express their attitude of calming things down, and even did not hesitate to give some gifts for this purpose, putting their posture very low, and serving softly and thoroughly being obedient.

There is no way, the enemies of the two families who are now united are forced to retreat one after another, if they don't reconcile with the Shi family, they will never be able to get real peace, and they will not be able to settle down and deal with those enemies who are usually completely worthless.

If they continue to do this, unless Li Shimin makes his voice out and personally protects the two of them, it is not impossible for them to really collapse.

It's just that in that case, they have basically withdrawn from the competition for the highest power stage, and they are likely to fall out of the ranks of the top and transcendent, the small number of nobles, which is the most unacceptable to them.

Rather than this, it is better to take out the courage of a strong man to break his wrist, desperately sacrifice his own face and part of his prestige, and first dissolve the Shi family, the biggest and most ferocious enemy, which is equivalent to temporarily pacifying the strength of the Cheng family and their family, and no longer give them an excuse to attack. With their hands free, they can solve their own internal and external troubles one by one.

Uncle Fan and the others also saw some signals from Shi Lei's appointment, knowing that Li Shimin, who was the emperor, did not want the situation to get out of control. Datang can't fall the two top magnates at the same time, that kind of situation will be particularly chaotic, which is not conducive to the stability of Datang.

They don't want to see Shi Lei squatting in Lingnan all the time, and even more remote places can't come back, so they can only accept the sincerity of the two rivals. After being a little reserved and taking enough benefits, the signal of a temporary truce was released.

Although there is no smoke of gunpowder on the surface, in fact, there is a river of blood in private, and even almost caused turmoil in the Tang Dynasty, and finally ended with the seemingly weak Shi family defeating the two seemingly powerful behemoths.

After this battle, the Shi family not only did not suffer much loss, but was able to reap huge benefits, and at the same time, it completely consolidated its position and raised it to a new height.

No one regards the Shi family as an ordinary junior anymore, and they are all placed at a relatively equal level, which provides a lot of convenience for the further development of the Shi family, and of course, it also shows that the challenges that will be encountered in the future will definitely be more difficult.

On the other hand, on the side of the Dou family and the eldest grandson Wuji, the loss this time is great, and they must keep a low profile for a period of time, in order to make a comeback, and when they regain their glory, they don't know which guys will be unlucky.

By the time Shi Lei received a report from his family in Chang'an and knew that the battle had ended in his own complete victory, they had successfully arrived in Guangzhou City and handed over their duties.

Another new world is waiting for Shi Lei, and he has set a big goal for his tenure. (To be continued.) )
