When Zheng Congyan came to the palace to pay a visit, Li Rupei greeted him in the front yard.

Zheng Congyan looks delicate, although he looks a little old, but he still feels like a thick Confucian spirit, Zheng Congyan has a smile on his face, and he looks pampered and not surprised, it does look like a rumor in society, he is a gentle person, but Li Rupei doesn't see it this way.

When Zheng Congyan saw Li Rupei for the first time, his face showed a slightly surprised look, but it was also a flash, probably because he didn't expect that such a gentle and young Li Rupei could do so many earth-shattering things.

After the polite greetings, Li Rupei, Cui Anqian and Zheng Congyan came to the wing.

As soon as he sat down, Cui An took advantage of the fact that there were many things in the Taiwan Mansion, and he couldn't leave for a long time, so he got up and said goodbye.

Li Rupei and Zheng Congyan were left in the wing.

"Zheng Ge Lao is willing to teach children, I am very grateful, with Zheng Ge Lao's teaching, children will definitely be able to learn and succeed."

"The prince is polite, he is already a person from the mountains and wilderness, and he can't afford to be called by the prince, but the prince still calls him by his name, so he is at ease."

"Hehe, Zheng Ge Lao why should he be polite, he was born in a famous family, served as the prime minister of the imperial court, and has an unusual prestige in the court, although he resigned and returned to the field, but the influence in the court still exists, a certain thought of a sentence, those heroes of the rivers and lakes, the highest state of pursuit, is that they have left the rivers and lakes, but the rivers and lakes have spread his legend, and Zheng Ge Lao has also reached such a realm."

was so praised by Li Rupei, Zheng Congyan still had a faint smile on his face, and this calmness was not simple.

"The prince has won the award, a certain is really unexpected, the prince is handsome, a certain is really admired, the south led by the prince, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. The officials are diligent and diligent, there are no homeless people, no thieves, this is far from being comparable to the north, the prince completely exterminated the anti-thief Huang Chao, and pacified many people in the south who are ready to rebel, to do this, it is impossible to do it without eloquence, and the prince has a lot of talents, each doing his best. The prince makes people use people's wisdom, and Datang is afraid that no one can match it......"

Li Rupei also had a smile on his face, everyone is happy to be able to say good things, as long as he doesn't indulge in it, there will be no problem, but Zheng Congyan said this, which also shows a problem, that is, Zheng Congyan may not have just come to the south, but has already gone to some places in the south to see.

Cui Anqian took Zheng Congyan to the palace. Immediately left in a hurry, obviously specifically for it, it seems that Zheng Congyan has a lot of things to say, otherwise Cui Anqian would not have done this. It should be said that in terms of his actions in the court and his personal prestige, Zheng Congyan is comparable to Cui Anqian, and even to a certain extent. is stronger than Cui Anqian, if Zheng Congyan can completely return to his heart and assist Li Rupei. The impact that can be formed in that way is by no means ordinary.

Cui Anqian, Cui Shenyou and others thought of the hope that all famous families would be able to assist and be loyal to Li Rupei, but Li Rupei did not think like this, nor did he have such extravagant hopes, thinking that all capable people would admire you and follow you, it was a very difficult thing and a thankless thing, many emperors in history cared about their reputation, for fear that there would be some bad rumors among the people, Li Rupei did not see it this way, he knew very well that everything depended on facts, as long as a strong dynasty was built, Capable people will naturally be attached, as for some so-called capable people who are pretentious, then let him go, there are such people in any era.

Seeing that Li Rupei didn't even be polite, Zheng Congyan was also a little strange, the conversation with Li Rupei just now made him faintly feel that Li Rupei's sophistication is not proportional to his age, that is to say, the young Li Rupei, who is a little excessive, has a mind and wisdom that is different from ordinary people.

"The prince's evaluation of the famous family is very impressive."

Zheng Congyan suddenly changed the topic, Li Rupei didn't show surprise, he knew that Zheng Congyan had a lot to say.

"Zheng Ge Lao seems to have been to many places in the south to see, I am afraid that he has also had a lot of contact with the officials of the government, a certain evaluation of the famous family, is from the heart, not because of the father-in-law, a certain has always believed that the reason why the famous family can continue to this day, has its different from the ordinary place, just say that the prime minister of the court, from the famous family, countless, if there is no extraordinary ability, how can this be done, and this depends on power, It is impossible to cast a good family style and inheritance of culture, Li Tang royal family is like this, only calm down, realize their own shortcomings, in the education of their children, on the inheritance of family style to promote goodness, in the management of the clan strictly, in the face of power calm, so after years of experience, can really create an extraordinary family or clan. ”

Zheng Congyan nodded again and again, and after Li Rupei finished speaking, he immediately spoke.

"Hearing is false, seeing is believing, today I heard a discussion of the prince, a certain heart is convinced, no one in the famous family faces the prince, they dare not be complacent, if they rely on their own inheritance, they think very highly of themselves, and they are humiliated in front of the prince."

The content of the conversation is a little strange, Zheng Congyan originally wanted to become Li Chengbo's husband, and it is said that the conversation should be about how to educate Li Chengbo, but the conversation has nothing to do with it.

Li Rupei did not intend to let Zheng Congyan teach Li Chengbo at all, although Zheng Congyan's knowledge is not ordinary, he has an unusual vigilance in this regard, Li Chengbo is still young, and many understandings have not yet been formed, the education at this time can be described as enlightenment education, children's enlightenment education, should be based on parents, supplemented by Mr., if Zheng Congyan is mainly responsible for the education of Li Chengbo, then there will be a preconceived situation, Li Chengbo will inherit his career in the future, it is difficult to ensure that he will not be affected by Zheng Congyan, Besides, some of the education methods of famous families, Li Rupei has heard of them, and he does not agree with them very much.

"The prince is already thriving in the south, and the stability and prosperity of the south have surpassed the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, and I don't know whether to say it or not."

"Elder Zheng Ge will say whatever he wants."

"A certain dared to offend, a certain thought that the prince first pacified the south, is the best choice, the south suffered from the poison of the Yellow Nest, the people are not happy, all the festivals in various places think of their own interests, but also regardless of the life and death of the people, the court is weak in the south, and it is impossible to make the south peaceful, if it is not for the prince's iron fist to pacify, I am afraid that the south is already chaotic. However, a certain person believes that the prince can't live in a corner, and should think of the world of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Li Rupei's face showed a smile again, he knew that Zheng Congyan had said so much, I am afraid that he had only now talked about the key point.

"I think that the prince should develop towards the north, the prince has jurisdiction over Shannan Road, Jiannan Road, Huainan Road, Jiangnan Road, Lingnan Road and Qianzhong Road, and the entire south is under the command of the prince, and the next thing is to choose to develop towards the north, or to pacify the troubles in the west."

"First of all, the west, the west is Tubo and Longyou Road, these places are mainly occupied by barbarians, especially Tubo, although it was once under the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty, but it has always been an independent existence, and Tubo is difficult to educate, often take advantage of the Tang Dynasty when it encounters difficulties, waiting for the opportunity to plunder, Princess Wencheng entered Tubo that year, the education of teaching, after so many years, the influence has weakened, if the prince is developing towards the north, the west is threatened, I am afraid it is difficult to deal with."

"Besides, in the north, the feudal towns are independent, nominally under the orders of the imperial court, in fact, they are independent, they don't care about the imperial decrees of the imperial court, and they do not obey the emperor's holy decrees, this situation has lasted for many years, especially after the Jingnan Jiedu envoy, the Hedong Jiedu envoy, the Hezhong Jiedu envoy, the Fengxiang Jiedu envoy and the Youzhou Jiedu envoy Qinwang, such a situation is particularly prominent, Li Maozhen was originally appointed by the emperor Fengxiang Jiedu envoy, but unfortunately what he did was completely for his own interests, and the feudal town was like a cancer of the Tang Dynasty, If it spreads, it will inevitably threaten the world of Datang. ”

"Finally, the capital, Tian Lingzi, Ma Tengyun and the like, poisoned the capital, and was eradicated by Yang Fugong, this should have been a fortunate thing for the Tang Dynasty, but unfortunately, Yang Fugong's actions are no different from Tian Lingzi, and even more excessive, the only difference is that Yang Fugong has a good influence in the town, which makes Yang Fugong's power more powerful, and the capital is not so much controlled by the imperial court, but Yang Fugong is in charge."

"The situation seen by a certain person is like this, and the advice that a certain can provide to the prince is to first pacify the west, completely eliminate the troubles, and let Tubo completely surrender to the Tang Dynasty, and then develop towards the north, eliminating the biggest hidden danger of the Tang Dynasty in one fell swoop."

After Zheng Congyan said this, he stopped.

Zheng Congyan said that the line of thought, Li Rupei somewhat coincided, whether to attack Tibet first, or to develop towards the north, Li Rupei hesitated, after all, Tibet is a cold land, if you want to conquer it completely, you need to consume a lot of manpower and financial resources, and if you don't do it well, you may fall into it, but let Tubo become independent, this is definitely not possible, as for the development of the north, it must be necessary to completely stabilize the south, after the financial resources are abundant, take it in one fell swoop, and do not have any twists and turns halfway.

Zheng Congyan's suggestion made Li Rupei somewhat clear, but he knew that Zheng Congyan's so-called pacification of Tubo must still be the same kind of thinking as before, that is, after completely defeating Tubo, let Tubo's Zampu be the king and govern Tubo, he Li Rupei would not do this, since he attacked Tubo, that is, to occupy the Potala Palace, set up an official palace there, and govern according to the requirements of the Tang Dynasty, although the cost of doing so is not ordinary, but Li Rupei will insist on this kind of practice.

As for Zheng Congyan, Li Rupei feels that he is indeed a good talent, and he should still be reused. (To be continued......)
