Chapter 160: Losing the pawn and protecting the car
Li Zhi sat on the dragon chair, his face was gloomy and terrifying, and his eyes were empty and unfocused. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info even the eldest grandson Wuji at this moment, he can't see what he is thinking.
"Since you obviously know that there is an abnormality in the Taiyuan Wang family, why doesn't your uncle take action to obstruct it?" The tone was calm, without the slightest hint of questioning. But the eldest grandson Wuji almost shook his body, and he had just recovered from it, and his body felt a little cold again.
He looked at Li Zhi, a nephew he had seen since he was a child. Li Zhi's character, the eldest grandson Wuji is very clear. To put it nicely, it is called benevolence. To say something unpleasant, it's called cowardice. However, since the return of Jiucheng Palace, this cowardly nephew seems to have changed as a person since last night, and he can use his momentum to force himself to feel cold for a person who has been up and down for so many years.
However, who is the eldest grandson Wuji? He is not a figure that Li Zhi can easily win now.
"If you don't want to, you can't!"
"Oh? I'd like to hear about it. ”
"First, although Liu Zheng has moved, he is not a fool after all, and he can get to this day not only because of the blessing of the middle palace, but also because there is no conclusive evidence. Second, Liu Zheng has a very close relationship with the Middle Palace and the East Palace, and the ministers dare not test more. Third, Liu Zheng is a member of the Taiyuan Wang family, and there is the Zheng family in Xingyang, and the Lu family in Fanyang is behind. Pulling a hair and moving the whole body, the old minister jumped over the wall in a hurry, hurting the country! Your Majesty, please be wise! ”
First, second, and third, what he said was the head and the Tao, and Li Zhi was speechless when he listened. The sentence just now was clearly an inquiry about the eldest grandson Wuji's lack of due diligence, and secretly Li Zhi wanted to say that you obviously have the strength to make a move, but you deliberately want to wait for them to act, and then report it to me. This is a deliberate indulgence of their evil deeds, in order to crack down on dissidents and monopolize the government.
The eldest grandson Wuji also said the reason why he couldn't make a move one by one. Clearly, understandably, Li Zhi can't say one, two, three, four, five. Although he knew that it was nothing more than perfunctory. With his uncle's current power, he wouldn't be able to deal with even a Liu Zheng, but he just wanted to borrow his own hand.
At the same time, Li Zhi is also clear. The so-called seven families and five surnames have great influence in this Tang Dynasty. One of the officials of the DPRK and China is from the Shandong clan. The Shandong clan is respected by seven families and five surnames.
If the Guanlong family is officially glorious in the Tang Dynasty, then the Shandong clan has always been in glory and has never declined. Their pure Han blood is recognized by all the people in this land.
In Datang, marrying a princess is far worse than marrying a woman with five surnames. This can be seen in the hearts of the common people, whether the emperor is noble, or the seven families and five surnames are more noble. Under the deliberate suppression of Emperor Taizong, the seven families and five surnames seem to be gradually indifferent to the court, but there are no fewer officials of the Shandong clan in this court.
And, as they withdrew from the battle of the court, these men set their sights on food. This is enough to control the lifeblood of the whole world. The grain business of seven families and five surnames covers the entire Tang Dynasty, and even the Guan Long family is also unable to interfere. This alone was enough for them to wrestle with the emperor. So the eldest grandson Wuji spoke from the grain, and Li Zhi couldn't help it.
For the seven families and five surnames...... Li Zhi couldn't help it. The near Ben Dynasty to Taizong and Taizu, and the far to the Han Dynasty Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu, Cao Cao also had no way to deal with the family. There are not many literate people in this world, and most of them are from families. If everyone pulls it out and cuts it down, then there will be no one in this court. So for the family, it can't be without.
But a dignified emperor is held in the hands of the family like this? It's definitely impossible, so this family can't help but suppress it. The emperor was also aggrieved.
Now Li Zhi is facing such a problem. He clearly knows what kind of attitude he should have towards the family. But this attitude needs a degree, and this degree, he can't grasp it well.
This has been from ancient times to the present, and it is good to be sure of this degree. For example, the first emperor Li Shimin, who was taking the growing strength of the Shandong clan, used his eldest grandson Wuji to cultivate a Guanlong nobleman. The two contended, coupled with the group of old ministers who came out of the world, the entire Zhenguan Dynasty was stable, and there was no chaos. But after he died, things changed completely.
People say that the lord Shaoguo is suspicious, although Li Zhi is not young now, but his prestige is not much worse than that of Taizong back then. Moreover, the eldest grandson Wuji assisted the government and held the power, and the ambitions of the Guanlong nobles were increasingly inflated and difficult to control. The Shandong clan seems to have withdrawn from the court, but it has turned to the people, and it still can't relax. As an old minister, he also relied on the merits of the founding of the country and began to be unscrupulous, and Li Zhi, who was always pressed, had no choice.
"Uncle said, what should I do now?" There is no choice but to ask. Fortunately, after Taizong's death, it was not specifically to pit Li Zhi, but he still left him two old ministers who could calm down. It's the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Ji. At this time, Li Zhi didn't understand their attitude, so he had no choice but to ask. I knew that this was the case, and yesterday I punished people for kneeling all night, and now Li Zhi's gloomy face is already flushed. Politicians are not inherently shameless.
But he really couldn't help it. You must know that once the relationship between the imperial power and the family is not handled well, it is very likely that the empire will collapse. Just like Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, he pioneered the imperial examination, opened a way for the majority of scholars from poor families to be promoted, and made immortal contributions for future generations. And yet? completely annoyed the family and isolated himself from the world. The second Sui Dynasty died, and Emperor Yang of Sui also became the king of the fallen country. Such a clear example, vividly placed in front of him, Li Zhi is not afraid.
The eldest grandson Wuji glanced at him and knelt all night, at this moment he was already talking with a strong spirit. He really didn't bother to take care of this matter. wanted to teach Li Zhi a lesson, but looking at Li Zhi sitting on the dragon chair with a flushed face, his eyes gradually softened.
'The young slave is the child who looks most like Guanyin, more like the pocket back then. ’
"Alas! Your Majesty, although Liu Zheng has changed some steps now, it is a personal idea after all, please be merciful and forgive others. The eldest grandson Wuji spoke, and he never forgot that his sister took his hand at the last moment and told him that the children would be entrusted to him. He also never forgot that Taizong always looked at Li Zhi with worried eyes before leaving, but his hand was tightly clutched to himself. As people get older, it may become more difficult to forget the past and forget their feelings!
Li Zhi grinned, he understood what the eldest grandson Wuji meant, this is to let Liu Zheng deal with alone. It can be regarded as a warning to the seven families and five surnames, and it can be regarded as a bad breath of the emperor, and it does not involve too many court and political disputes. The problem of how to deal with the seven families and five surnames that he was worried about was solved, and his worries about whether they would protect Liu Zheng also dissipated with the opening of the eldest grandson Wuji. Since he said that he dealt with Liu Zheng, it means that the seven families and five surnames will definitely lose their pawns and protect the car! (To be continued.) )
