"Father, I'm afraid Master Liang won't be able to hold Li Xin for long." Li Shimin said in a low voice.

"That's natural, thinking that relying on the Turks will show off his might, Li Xin has no time to take care of him now, once he gains a firm foothold, Liang Shidu will be destroyed by Li Xin." Li Yuan didn't want to think about it and said: "Erlang, time must be hurried, we can't give Li Xin too much time, look, these guys have begun to waver, although my merger state is better than Liangzhou, but it is definitely not as good as Guanzhong, Li Xin occupies Guanzhong, the foundation is above us, we must seize Guanzhong." ”

"Yes." Li Shimin nodded, he glanced at Li Yuan, and saw that there was a look of exhaustion between Li Yuan's eyebrows, so he arched his hand and said: "Father, the state affairs are heavy, but the dragon body is important." ”

"Yes! Father, you better rest more! Li Jiancheng also spoke.

"Got it, you guys should step back first!" Li Yuan nodded, just sighed deeply, I didn't know before, but now I know that the position of the emperor is not so easy to handle, the heavy state affairs are pressed on his shoulders, and there are strong enemies outside, which makes Li Yuan tired, fortunately, the courtiers below are not bad, and the two sons are very capable and help him a lot, otherwise he really doesn't know if he can support it.

"Big brother, in fact, we don't necessarily have to attack Guanzhong, the land of Hebei, fertile fields for thousands of miles, a large population, the strength of the Kanto family is not much worse than the Guanlong family, the Kanto family is full of talents, why does the father have to capture Guanzhong?" Out of the main hall, Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng walked side by side, Li Shimin said with some puzzlement.

"Shimin, our Li family itself is from Guanlong, if the people around him who support him are not from the Guanlong family, how can my father rest assured? Most of the courtiers around him have a close relationship with the Guan Long family, how can they be cut off casually? Li Jiancheng shook his head again and said, "The Kanto family, hehe." Although there are a lot of talents, these guys are more hateful than the people of the Guanlong family, where are the two boats under their feet, as long as they occupy a city and a place, they are all the objects of the Kanto family, look at Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong, and even Luo Yi and others are the objects of these families. What's more, don't forget, after Li Xin's guy is the king of Lanling, who knows if the Kwantung family will support him. Father is right. These families are not good things, and they can't be believed, but at this time, we also have to use these families? ”

"Big brother, although we are enemies with Li Xin, I think some of Li Xin's practices are very appropriate, and there is not much land in the state, but most of them are in the hands of the family, where do those ordinary people have any land to cultivate. At the moment, although these families support us, it is because we are relatively strong, so they will support us, once we fail. These guys will be the first to rush out against us. Li Shimin said with some dissatisfaction: "Also, look at Li Xin, now not only win over those big families, but also give benefits to those ordinary people." There are also those who are scholars, not only need the help of the big families, but also let go of the imperial examination conditions for those children of poor families. I think. We should do the same. Li Shimin looked at Li Jiancheng with hopeful eyes, how to change the status quo of the Li family and defeat Li Xin, Li Shimin thought about this problem all the time, and often discussed this matter with Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others, and came to the conclusion that he learned from Li Xin.

"Ridiculous." Li Jiancheng said dissatisfiedly: "Shimin, do you know what you are talking about? Li Jiancheng glanced around anxiously.

"Big brother." Li Shimin didn't know where he was wrong.

"Do you know what the foundation of my Da Zhao is? It's not those ordinary people, but the family, the family of Bingzhou, the family of Guanlong, these families are our foundation, my officials, our soldiers, and our money and food are all supplied by the family, get rid of these families, can we control the entire Dazhao? Li Jiancheng said with a slight dissatisfaction.

"Ahh Li Shimin was waiting to explain something, but he couldn't say it, Li Jiancheng was right, Li Yuan can have today, isn't it those families who support him? Otherwise, with a Li family in Longxi, how could there be such financial resources for Li Yuan to establish the Zhao State and be able to gain a foothold and merge the state?

"I know what you're trying to say? But there is no way around it, we have to rely on these families. Li Jiancheng felt that his words seemed to be heavier, patted Li Shimin's shoulder and said: "The current world is the world of the family, look, the Taishou of the world, these Taishou are all from the family, why did the Great Sui Dynasty perish, why did Yang Guang die, it is not the poisonous hand of the family, even if it is our army, although the father and emperor use the people of my Li family wantonly, but those captains and generals are also from the family." We have to deal with the family first, and I'm afraid that these families will be like those people in Guanzhong, who will deal with us first. ”

Li Shimin couldn't say anything when he heard it, others don't know the harm of the family, but as Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, they all know, but the current situation is no way to change, the family is the foundation of Da Zhao, and Li Yuan is just the representative of the interests of these families, I didn't see it, now Pei Lin and Dugu Huaien are shouting Li Yuan is also Shude Shude, on the one hand, it is habit, and on the other hand, it is also because of its own strength. To put it thoroughly, if Li Yuan leaves the family, the entire Great Zhao will perish.

"We and Li Xin are enemies, not only the enmity between the two sides, but more importantly, the hatred of the two interests." Li Jiancheng smiled bitterly: "Don't you see that Li Xin is adjusting his policy now?" From the large-scale land reward in Liangzhou to the rent reduction and interest reduction in Guanzhong, he just wants to ease the relationship with the family, and this time he will divide the property under his name to the family, which is a sign of further friendship with the family, if possible, I guess Li Xin's next step is to marry, Guanzhong Wei's, Du's, and even Dou's and Dugu's. ”

"No, it won't! Will they say yes? Li Shimin said puzzled. He can also see that Li Xin's policy is changing, at least he is not as hostile to the family as before, but Li Shimin believes that Li Xin is a hero, and he will not know the power of the family.

"I will definitely say yes." Li Jiancheng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "These families are like this, they won't put their eggs in one basket at the same time, just look at it!" Look, that Dugu Huaien, Shimin, let me ask you, where did Dugu Feng go? ”

"Didn't you say that you walked the rivers and lakes?" Li Shimin hesitated for a while and asked.

"She's in Chang'an." Li Jiancheng shook his head and said, "My father has already proposed to the Zheng family in Kanto. Zheng Shanguo has already agreed, and soon after, you will get married, probably after you defeat Liu Wuzhou. ”

"Big brother." Li Shimin opened his mouth and was ready to refuse.

"Shimin, don't forget, we can attack Chang'an now, but we can also attack the eastern capital." Li Jiancheng suddenly whispered. But he told a shocking secret.

"Ahh Li Shimin's face changed, and the boss with his mouth open, he didn't expect Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng to actually plan to seize Luoyang. This kind of plan came from Li Shimin, and he didn't know what to say for a while. The Zheng family is one of the five surnames and seven wangs, and the headquarters is in Xingyang, but who dares in Luoyang, the Zheng family is not the largest family in Kanto.

"Erlang, remember, there is not much time left for us. Shimin, we must defeat Liu Wuzhou, and while Li Xin's army is still in Bashu, we must take this opportunity to capture Luoyang. Li Jiancheng said in a low voice.

"Luoyang is not so easy to take, otherwise, Li Xin would be the first to capture Luoyang." Li Shimin still said with some worry.

"What if you add Li Mi?" Li Jiancheng patted Li Shimin's shoulder and laughed, turned away, leaving only Li Shimin with a surprised face, and only after a long time did Li Shimin react, looking at Li Jiancheng's distant back, his face became cloudy and uncertain, and finally stomped his feet fiercely, turned around and walked out of Jinyang Palace.

In the Qin Palace, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, eldest grandson Wuji, and Liu Wenjing gathered together, Li Shimin said the news he got, and finally said with a wry smile: "Don't talk about supporting the cold family and weakening the family for the time being, after all, the power of the family is still very strong, and even Li Xin doesn't dare to offend, but what about taking Luoyang?" If the prince speaks out, I'm afraid I'll still be kept in the dark? Li Shimin was a little discouraged, Li Yuan actually hid such a big thing as seizing Luoyang, and just discussed it with Li Jiancheng, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

"Capture Luoyang at this time, not to mention whether we can seize it, even if we do, we will face three strong enemies, Li Xin, Li Mi and Dou Jiande, although Luoyang is important, but it is the place of four wars, Li Xin occupies Tongguan, and he can attack at any time, let alone Li Mi. At that time, we will be fighting on four fronts, and Luoyang will be a trapped place, and we can't do anything. Fang Xuanling said without thinking.

"Yes, if King Qin hadn't said it at this time, the lower officials wouldn't have known." Liu Wenjing nodded and said: "There is only one Dou Jiande in Hebei, although it looks powerful, but Dou Jiande is not good at governing the army, attacking Dou Jiande, we are just guarding against Li Xin, Wang Shichong and Li Mi are enemies of life and death, and they will not attack us, seizing Hebei is the best policy, and the emperor is probably a mistake this time." ”

"Hey, this matter is very important, King Qin, it is only right for his subordinates to pacify Liu Wuzhou as soon as possible." The eldest grandson Wuji still persuaded him: "Liu Wuzhou is our great enemy, and only by destroying Liu Wuzhou can we do other things." ”

"Hey, the crown prince is in charge, the king of Qin is in charge of the army, and the Son of Heaven is hanging down, it seems to be the most reasonable arrangement, but now, hey! I'm afraid the crown prince is not just thinking about helping the Son of Heaven deal with political affairs. Liu Wenjing sighed a little. But he didn't find the different color in Li Shimin's eyes.
