Li Ke knows that he generally wants to be made a prince in the long river of history, and finally sits on the dragon chair.

There are two necessary conditions: one is to be approved by the emperor, and the other is the support of the minister of civil and military affairs. However, in addition to these two necessary conditions in the Tang Dynasty, there was also a condition, which was to have the support of the family.

The family, those Hebei Cui's, Fanyang Lu's, and other famous families, these families have a lot of say in the Tang Dynasty, and for example, Cheng Zhijie, although he is a general, he still married his daughter to the Cui family, which shows the power of the family, it can be said that in the Tang Dynasty, those who have the help of the family will win the world.

Of course, the Li Tang Dynasty was established by three forces: one was the Guanlong group, the other was the Shandong group, and the other was the Jiangnan scribes.

The Guanlong group was a military group composed of Xianbei nobles in the Northern Wei Dynasty, including the Han people of Huhua and the Hu people of the Western Regions.

Most of the Guanlong Group are relatives and nobles of the Li family, and some of them have also established military exploits in the process of Li Tang's founding of the country, such as Li Shentong, Li Daozong, Li Xiaogong and others.

Shandong Group includes two parts: Shandong Shizu and Shandong Haojie.

Shandong Shi has a long history, strong economic strength, and has a strong clan township foundation, which produces huge political energy, can control the government when entering, and can control the countryside when retreating.

Shandong Haojie, on the other hand, was a group of landlords who rose under the chaos of the late Sui Dynasty, in other words, they were the local tyrants who rose rapidly in the great turmoil in the last years of the Sui Dynasty.

The so-called Shandong Haojie uses violence to enhance his social status, and to put it bluntly, it is the underworld.

The Jiangnan scribes were a family that existed before the Sui Dynasty unified the south, and they participated in the formulation of the Tang Dynasty's political system and rules on the one hand, and continued to exert influence in the Jiangnan region on the other.

These three forces played a great role in the establishment of the Tang Dynasty and the restoration and growth of national strength in the early stage.

Li Ke was thinking that if he wanted to become the crown prince and become the emperor of the Tang Empire in the future, he couldn't ignore these three forces. However, attention is valued, but to make these three forces recognize themselves and let them support themselves, this is not something that can be done in a moment and a half, and it needs to be considered in the long run.

And beyond that, the first question is to develop your own power. No one can do anything, and what Li Ke lacks most at the moment is people, and now there is no one around him who he trusts, let alone the kind of confidant who gives him advice.

Although there is no shortage of talents around him, although the world says that Li Jing can enter the court as a prime minister, go out of the court as a general, and be a great talent in the world, but he has led the army all the year round, and it is even more inconvenient to give advice for himself, Qin Qiong and Li Jing's situation is basically the same, for example, Su Dingfang. But after all, he is a general, wouldn't it be overkill to let him come to give advice for himself, although Jiang Lan, but Li Ke thinks that he is suitable to be a housekeeper, Li Qiang is naturally not good, besides, Feng Deyi, he is old, and there is not much time to help him, and he can't always rely on this old man.

And the bloody history made him understand a truth, the prince who has no power and no power is a powerful minister who can't fight and has no real power.

Therefore, if he wants to compete with Li Chengqian for the throne, and with Li Tai and Li Zhi, he must have rights. So, what he needs is a clique loyal to himself, loyal to his civilian clique and his military clique.

As long as he has such a force, he will have the ability to compete with them for the throne and be qualified to embark on the road of hegemony.

When it comes to the civil clique, the first thing that comes to his mind is Cen Wenwen.

This is described as a demon-like top scheming master in "Zhenguan Long Song".

The top strategist must first be a talent, this is actually the rule of tens of millions of industries, technology allows you to stand still, and life allows you to take a step.

And Cen Wenwen is such a talent, he is loyal to the Tang Dynasty and Li Shimin.

Therefore, even if Li Shimin knew what he was doing, he couldn't do anything about him. In the top-level dialogue of the whole drama where Taizong notified Cen Wenwen of the appointment, Li Shimin said: "In the past ten years, I know that you are in Cao Ying's heart in Han, you have given up all **, and endured unbearable humiliation, I really want to expose you, but I can't find any handle for you, and now, I can only give you this position, otherwise, the history books will definitely say that I can't use Xian." "During the Zhenguan period, because Li Shimin served as Shangshuling when he was the king of Qin, this position was vacant for more than ten years, and in the end, the official title of the head of the prime minister was awarded to Cen Wenwen.

It was Cen Wenwen's loyalty and wisdom that made Li Shimin make such concessions.

As Li Ke's teacher, he worked hard for Li Ke to enter the East Palace all his life, which can be described as exhausting, and finally lost to the eldest grandson Wuji and died of hatred. It can't be said that Cen Wenwen is not resourceful, but Li Ke is too strong and too public, which makes Cen Wenwen fall short in the end.

Cen Wenwen was the first scribe in Jiangnan, and led the entire group of scribes in Jiangnan in the later period of Zhenguan.

Moreover, he himself is a son of the Jiangnan family.

Therefore, getting his support is equivalent to the support of Jiangnan scribes and families.

The current Li Ke is no longer the Li Ke in history. Since he let himself be Li Ke again, he wants to let Cen Wenwen use all his strategies and let him see the day he enters the East Palace. Thinking of this, Li Ke couldn't help but be secretly proud.

When I came back, I heard that Feng Deyi laid the foundation for himself, and he was looking for no one else, that is, Cui Wenwen. Therefore, Li Ke suddenly left the palace today, naturally in order to open a sect and establish a mansion, but secondly, he mainly wanted to go to see Cen Wenwen and wanted to pull him into his camp in advance.

Therefore, when Li Ke came out today, he simply wanted to do all the things that should be done.

Although Cui Wenwen said that he listened to Feng Deyi's words, he knew that Cen Wenwen was even more deceiving this old man with a little bit, if he Cen Wenwen wanted to follow Li Ke with such kindness, even if he had this thought, Li Ke was slow to dedicate himself, could it be said in the past?

So, he asked Xiao Guizi, "Do you know where Mr. Cen lives?" ”

"Mr. Cen?" Xiao Huizi asked suspiciously, "You mean that gentleman?" The scholar who followed Lord Feng? Not long ago, was Mr. Cen who was named a member of the Zhongshu House among the Turks? ”

"Yes, that's him." Li Ke asked eagerly, "Do you know where he lives?" ”

"It seems to be in Yongxingfang."

"Hurry up and take this king." Li Ke urged.

After a while, Li Ke came to Cen Wenwen's house, and Cen Wenwen heard a terrifying report that two people had come to visit.

Cen Wenwen wondered, he could be regarded as not having many old people in Chang'an City, and he asked his subordinates, "Can you see what these two people look like?" ”

When the subordinate saw Cen Wenwen asking, he replied directly: "Master, the two of them outside are like children, but they are dressed in gorgeous clothes."

Hearing this, Cen Wenwen, who was originally very skeptical in his heart, came to a conclusion in his heart, and hurriedly got up and took the housekeeper to greet him and salute: "Chen Cen Wenwen greets His Royal Highness the King of Chu. Cen Wenwen deliberately put the word King of Chu seriously, looking at the man in his thirties in front of him, dressed as a scholar, Li Ke sighed at his talent and loyalty.

Seeing Cen Wenwen giving himself a gift, he hurriedly took a few steps forward and saluted: "Sir, how can Ke afford such a big gift." But I don't know why Mr. is so sure that he is the king of Chu? ”

Cen Wenwen heard Li Ke call him Mr., and knew that now Li Ke was the prince and still served him as a disciple. I was slightly moved in my heart, and then bowed down and said, "Hasn't Your Highness already admitted it yourself?" Your Highness please. Without waiting for Li Ke to be stunned, Cen Wenwen made a gesture of invitation, so Li Ke was in front, and Cen Wenwen followed him into Cen Mansion half a step slowly.

When I came to the living room, the maid withdrew after serving tea, and Xiao Guizi also stood outside the door with interest.

Li Ke explained first: "Ke Yin only returned to Chang'an not long ago, and I often hear others say that Mr. is talented. When I saw it today, it was really a person who deserved his name, and not long ago I went to see the Feng Xiang, and the Feng was a strong appreciation, and now if it wasn't for Ke to open the house, he could come out of the palace to visit Mr., and I hope Mr. forgive me. Then, taking a sip of tea, he continued: "Feng Xiang asked me to say hello to Mr. on his behalf." ”

Cen Wenwen was very respectful to Li Ke Feng Deyi, and when he heard Li Ke say this, he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Thank you for the concern of Feng Xiang and His Royal Highness, the text is very grateful." ”

Li Ke said: "Mr. was awarded the secretary by his father, and he walked between the introspection of the full-time book and the Hongwen Palace, and Ke congratulated Mr. ”

Cen Wenwen said modestly: "The text is well deserved, thanks to the support of Niangniang and the recommendation of Lord Feng. ”

"Mr. has just arrived in Chang'an, so he is still used to life, right?" Li Ke looked at Cen Wenwen's simple and simple mansion and asked with concern.

Cen Wenwen was a little moved: "Thank you, Your Highness, I was not used to it at first, but now I am used to it." ”

After taking a sip of tea, Li Ke asked Cen Wenwen some things about learning, and Cen Wenwen carefully answered Li Ke.

After talking like this, Li Ke felt that there was still a little estrangement between the two, and if this estrangement was not removed, I am afraid it would be difficult for Cen Wenwen to truly belong to himself.

Then he said: "In addition to congratulating Mr. today, Ke also has to ask Mr. for help. After that, he stood up and bowed: "Please sir, you must agree." ”

Cen Wenwen was taken aback by Li Ke's move, and hurriedly held him up and said, "Your Highness has something, as long as the text can do it, you must do your best." ”

Li Ke said: "I want to tell my father to ask Mr. to be my teacher, and I hope that Mr. must agree to Ke, because now Ke hopes that Mr. can really help Ke" Li Ke said this, naturally he shirked Cen Wenwen's prevarication that day, Li Ke He didn't need Cen Wenwen to repay Feng Deyi's kindness, but really helped Li Ke like history.
