"Holy Lord, this thing has to be done, and it is actually very easy to do. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Hearing Tang Zhou's words, Li Shimin pursed his lips: "It's weird to do it." ”
Tang Zhou said: "Holy Lord, it's really easy to do, as long as we make reasonable use of some people, this matter may be done." ”
"Take advantage of some people, who to take advantage of?"
Tang Zhou said: "Holy Lord, this morning is up, but there is anyone who supports our reform?" ”
"You said Yue Wang Li Zhen?"
Tang Zhou bowed: "That's right, it's His Royal Highness King Yue, since His Royal Highness King Yue supports it, why don't you take advantage of it?" ”
Li Shimin frowned slightly, and said: "What's the use of Zhen'er's support, he has no power in the court at all, and no one is attached to him." ”
Tang Zhou smiled: "Shengshang, in fact, if we want to reform, it is naturally not possible to rely on His Royal Highness King Yue, we just need to use His Royal Highness King Yue to stimulate His Royal Highness King Wei." ”
"Stimulate the blue sparrows?" Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, but soon understood, and after he understood, he immediately felt that Tang Zhou's method was really amazing, so after the two of them finished saying this, they immediately sent someone to Yue Wangfu to reward him.
Li Shimin's visit to reward Li Zhen, the king of Yue, did not attract much attention at first, and in the next few days, Tang Zhou and Li Shimin did not talk about the reform of the tax system.
But a few days later, Li Shimin rewarded Li Zhen, the king of Yue, and his degree of favor was much better than that of Li Tai, the king of Wei.
This situation can confuse Li Zhen, the king of Yue, his mother is Concubine Yande, although she is still favored, but in recent years, his father has become more and more fond of young girls, such as talented people like Wu Meiniang.
His mother's favor is not as good as before, so he hasn't received a reward for several years, why did he suddenly have good luck?
Yue Wang Li Zhen is not a stupid person, he quickly realized that he did something that his father liked very much, so he was rewarded like this?
But what did you do?
Yue Wang Li Zhen hollowed out his mind to think, and soon it really made him think of something, a few days ago in the early dynasty, Tang Zhou proposed to reform the tax system, and Li Tai, the king of Wei, they didn't agree, but only he stood up and agreed because he was against Li Tai, could it be because of this?
Li Zhen, the king of Yue, was overjoyed, and he didn't expect that he would get such a reward for going against the king of Wei.
For this reason, he told his mother Concubine Yan De about it, and Concubine Yan De was overjoyed after hearing it, and said: "I still know a little about your father, and now that the crown prince has been deposed, he is trying to find someone to compete with King Wei, it seems that he is preparing to find you, son, maybe you can become the next prince." ”
What concubine doesn't want her son to be emperor?
As soon as Concubine Yan De said this, even Li Zhen, the king of Yue, couldn't help but have this idea.
"Mother, what should the minister do there?"
"According to your father's wishes, judging from the current situation, your father supports the reform of the tax system that Tang Zhou said, so you agree, and you agree with it."
"Will this offend the people in the court?"
"What are you afraid of, if you become the prince, you don't have to be afraid of offending the whole world."
The mother and son muttered like this, and at the same time, Li Tai, the king of Wei, finally realized that something was wrong.
King Wei's Mansion, King Li Tai of Wei frowned.
He used to be very favored, but since he opposed Tang Zhou's tax system reform that morning, his father's attitude towards him suddenly changed dramatically?
It doesn't matter if it's not good for himself, why is he still good to Li Zhen, the king of Yue?
The more Li Tai, the king of Wei, thought about it, the more he felt that he was not feeling good in his heart, so he found Du Gou.
Some time ago, Du He rebelled, and Du Gou was also implicated, but under the maneuver of Li Tai, the king of Wei, Du Gou's life was saved, but his official position has changed, and now Du Gou has almost become a full-time strategist of King Wei.
And Du Gou also knows very well that his younger brother's plot failed, and the only hope of their Du family is on him, and whether he can revive the Du family depends on whether Li Tai, the king of Wei, can become the crown prince.
So for the matter of Li Tai, the king of Wei, he is more concerned than before.
After seeing Li Tai, the king of Wei, Du Gou said: "What is the matter with the prince calling his subordinates?" ”
King Wei asked Du Gou to sit down, told Du Gou about the troubles he encountered, and asked, "Mr. Du, what do you mean by my father?" ”
Du Wei pondered for a moment and said: "Your Highness, the Holy Lord obviously wants to support Li Zhen, the king of Yue, and this Li Zhen, the king of Yue, said something to make him comfortable, so he naturally spoiled him." ”
"Yue Wang Li Zhen, what did he say?" When Li Tai, the king of Wei, said this, he suddenly remembered something, and said, "Just because he supports the reform of the tax system?" ”
Du Wei nodded: "The saint is eloquent, he has long been unaccustomed to those powerful people, their privileges have seriously affected the prosperity and development of my Tang Dynasty, it is normal for the saint to get rid of this tumor, even if you become the emperor in the future, you will definitely have to get rid of these, and now you not only do not support the saint, but also oppose him, the saint must not like you, and like the Yue king Li Zhen." ”
Hearing Du Wei say this, Li Tai, the king of Wei, felt that this was really the case.
"Mr. Du, what do you say this king should do now?"
"The prince has always been very favored, if you can conform to the will of the saint in this matter, I am afraid it will be much easier for you to become the prince."
"Do you mean that the king wants to support the reform of the tax system?"
Du Wei nodded: "Exactly." ”
Li Tai, the king of Wei, frowned slightly, and said, "But if this king supports it, what about those people who are attached to this king?" Will this king offend them? ”
"Lord Wang, for the sake of your great cause, they should make some sacrifices, otherwise they will only ask for benefits from you, what use do you want them? The prince can tell them that after he has achieved great things, he will compensate them, and if he fails, they will not be able to get anything. ”
Du Wei said this to Li Tai, the king of Wei, and after thinking for a long time, Li Tai, the king of Wei, finally nodded, and after the two said this, Li Tai, the king of Wei, found some people from their faction.
If he wants to support the reform of the tax system, he can't let his people make trouble again, so he must explain the situation to them in advance, so that they don't do bad things.
These people of King Wei hated the reform of this tax system, which seriously affected their interests, but after listening to King Wei's words, they also understood that if they wanted the people they supported to be the crown prince, they really had to follow Li Shimin.
They had no choice but to agree not to oppose the reform of the tax system.
And just when Li Tai, the king of Wei, called his own people to the mansion, Tang Zhou had already received the news, and after receiving the news, he already understood that their so-called use plan had succeeded, and tomorrow morning, the matter of tax system reform could be brought up again.
