"Your Majesty, this matter is not as serious as you think."

Li Eryin said with a gloomy face: "It's not serious, my court can't run smoothly, the government decree is not reached, the taxes are sharply reduced, everywhere, the yang is against the yin, and those families are about to empty me." ”

Thinking of the chaos and pressure of the past half a month, Li Er's heart was on fire, and he couldn't wait to arrest all those scholars, and each reward was three knives and six holes, but the strength of the scholars was too strong, and it penetrated into every corner and every field of the Tang Dynasty, eradicating one or two scholars, and there was still a lot of power, but there were so many scholars in the world, and they were still in a group, and they must not act rashly.

If the imperial power and the Shi clan go to war, then, except for the Li clan's clan and in-laws, no one else can be trusted, like Cheng Yanjin, Qin Qiong, Wei Chi Jingde, these generals, strictly speaking, they are also members of the Shi clan, just good birds choose trees to perch, just fancy Li Er's potential and future, they can oppose the old master, for survival and interests, they can also oppose Li Er.

It's not that I don't want to eradicate the scholars, but I don't dare.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a few words, I don't know whether to say them or not."

"I said, tonight is not confined to the mud, what do you have to say, speak freely, and never blame you, and tonight's events, only God knows, you know and I know, understand?"

Liu Yuan nodded and said, "Understood." ”

After a little relief, Liu Yuan began to analyze: "It seems to be a battle for face, but in fact, the emperor understands in his heart that this is a dispute between the imperial power and the scholars, which is exactly in line with the old saying, it is easy to share hardships and hardships, and it is difficult to fight for wealth and wealth, in fact, it is also interests, the emperor wants to better control the country, and the scholars also want to obtain greater benefits. It does not mean that we can truly live together peacefully. ”

Li Er said in a deep voice: "You are reasonable, then according to your words, how should this matter be handled." ”

"They are just fighting for some rights and earning some face now, and they have not shaken the foundation of the emperor, nor do they have any intention of stealing the emperor's country, give a little bit, it is not a big deal, as long as the world is still the emperor, then it will be fine."

"You are the son-in-law of the Qinghe Cui clan. Naturally, I spoke for them. Li Er glanced at Liu Yuan disappreciatively, and then said with a worried face: "If their ambitions are not satisfied, the more they want, the more they want, then I still satisfy them one by one?" Each of the scholars is like a small country within a country. The words of the head of the clan are more effective than mine. How does this work? ”

Liu Yuan looked at Li Er, who was a little crazy. I didn't know how to say it for a while, but he had an idea, and said to Li Er with a smile: "Your Majesty, the minister will tell you a story." ”

"Story?" Li Er was a little surprised, this was obviously to chat with him and discuss countermeasures. How to tell the story, but looking at Liu Yuan's appearance is not like a joke, Li Er waved and said, "Okay, you can say it." I listened. ”

"In ancient times, there was a country, its king was named Alexander, he fought bravely, led the army well, laid a lot of land, captured a lot of booty, every time he captured or before the expedition, he liked to divide his property and fields under his command, some people asked him why he did not leave a little more treasure, and he came every time, just leave hope, the newly conquered land, are his property, his property, in a distant and strange territory, with his efforts, at the age of 30, has created the largest empire in ancient history, and he has never tasted defeat in his life, which can be called a masterpiece of a generation. ”

Li Er was fascinated by it, Liu Yuan's story gave him a deep inspiration, thought for a moment, and suddenly said: "Liu Yuan, what do you mean, so that I don't have to focus on this small interest in front of me, I should take a more long-term view, isn't that what you mean?" ”

It's really good to talk to smart people, it's clear that Liu Yuan only told a story, and after Li Er listened to it, he immediately guessed what Liu Yuan wanted to express, and he didn't need Liu Yuan to explain too much at all, and in this regard, I don't know how much saliva I saved.

"The emperor is from the Li family in Longxi, when the emperor has not yet served as Taiyuan to stay behind, the emperor was still a child at that time, and he only had a little money every month, and he could reward his subordinates, that is, some copper coins and a little broken silver; Emperor Taishang served as Taiyuan to stay behind, the emperor was already a teenager, under the emperor Taishang served as a member of the army, at that time he already had his own power and industry, he could give his gold beauties, jewelry mansions, and when the emperor ascended the throne, he could already give his subordinates the title of official Jin Jue, if the emperor is still a small army in Taiyuan, can he give his subordinates the title of official Jin Jue? ”

Liu Yuan continued to explain: "Obviously, it can't, because it was the emperor at that time, and he didn't have so much power, just like this plate of dim sum, this inventory is only five yuan, even if the emperor eats it all, it is only five yuan, and even if the emperor doesn't eat it, the maximum amount that can be rewarded to his subordinates is only five yuan, but if the emperor and his subordinates work together to bring other cells or nearby snacks, then, the light for his subordinates is more than five yuan, so sometimes, don't just stare at the plate." ”

Li Er had a look of shock on his face, lowered his head, and knocked on the table in front of him intentionally or unintentionally, it was obvious that Liu Yuan's words touched him a lot.

Why do you just stare at a plate?

"And what about that Alexander?" Liu Yuan said so much, Li Er finally asked a question.

"The empire lasted for hundreds of years, and then decayed into civil strife and dissipated in the long river of history, but his name can be said to be famous in history and immortal."

Li Er said suspiciously: "Liu Yuan, what you said is true?" In ancient times, in which era, such a big empire, there were famous heroes, what have I never heard of? ”

As soon as he heard that the fame went down in history and the eternity of eternity, Li Er suddenly came to his senses, and Liu Yuan's story and examples deeply moved him, but he was a little skeptical, this kind of country, such an outstanding hero, he had never heard of, could this be made up by Liu Yuan? Is it possible to conquer so many lands without losing in your life?

"Your Majesty, you haven't heard of it, this is normal, this is a story that happened in a country not far from here, not a character in Chinese history, in our land, there can be heroes like Qin Shiwang, Xiang Yu, and Liu Bang, so it is not surprising that such characters also appear in other lands."

"Not far away? Is it that big? ”

Now the territory of the Tang Dynasty is very satisfied in Li Er's eyes, it seems to have expanded to the end, those bitter cold places are not worth protecting, but Liu Yuan said it so big, this is a bit beyond his imagination.

Liu Yuan said with a straight face: "Your Majesty, in addition to the Tang Dynasty, we have Tubo, Persia, and the Jin Dynasty in the west, Tianzhu and Bi in the south, and Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje in the east. ”

"What? And so many places? Liu Yuan's words subverted Li Er's view of the world, and he said in surprise: "Liu Yuan, which continent does my Tang Dynasty belong to?" ”

"Asia."

"Is what you say true? You're too young to go to that many places, can you? How did you find out? Li Er still didn't believe it.

Liu Yuanleng paused, but quickly explained: "Your Majesty, these are true, now my Datang is prosperous, the economy is prosperous, many Hu businessmen come to Datang to do business, I heard that some of them have to go back and forth for a year, it can be seen that the world is vast, we have not seen, there are many places where we do not know the Tao, these are not surprising, the minister also inadvertently heard from an elderly Hu Shang, this is amazing how big the world is." ”

Li Er's gaze became wandering, and he was not brewing any bad water.

"Then what do you think I should do with this crisis?" In the middle of the sound, Li Er breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had decided something, and asked Liu Yuanlai instead.

He seemed to have figured something out, and his tone became lighter.

"It's very simple, the minister thinks that the scholar clan does not have the intention to break up, now the two are beneficial if they are combined, and if they are divided, they will lose both, and it is better to share the prosperity and prosperity than you live or die, as long as the emperor releases some goodwill, this matter will be over."

"Goodwill?"

"Right"

Li Erha smiled, looked at Liu Yuan with interest and said, "Liu Yuan, I locked you up here, don't you resent it?" ”

"If I am allowed to drink ditch water, eat pig food, and be tortured, then I will definitely hate it, but here is good to eat and live well, carefree, then what is there to complain about, besides, the minister also knows that this is the emperor's idea, and the emperor is also embarrassed."

"You're straightforward, my good brother-in-law, don't you know what kind of wishful thinking you want? Hmph, what a plan, even I have calculated, for the sake of the dead sister, I will spare you this time. Li Er suddenly said something to himself that made Liu Yuan confused.

Cui Jing can think of it, Li Er can naturally think of it, although he is a little dissatisfied in his heart, but now he can only let him get his wish, and he can't help but think about the old love, and he can only sell his face, who called the emperor was shocked.

After Li Er finished speaking, he suddenly asked a very abrupt sentence: "Liu Yuan, are you on my side or on the side of the scholars?" ”

That's a very straightforward question.

Liu Yuanleng paused, shook his head, and said with a serious face: "I only stand on the side of happiness." ”

"Okay, good" Li Er patted Liu Yuan on the shoulder and said: "That's a good thing, you are very good at talking, if you say that you are on my side, I don't believe it, standing on the side of happiness, that is the most correct choice, okay, you rest, I am going back to the palace, it is estimated that it will not be long before you can get out of the palace, and you will not delay your good days." ”

After Li Er finished speaking, he left with a smile on his face, for him, tonight's goal has been achieved, and the knot in his heart has been untied.

Chatting with Liu Yuan, it is to find the right person, from the last time he solved the matter of Li Lizhi's palace outside the palace, it can be seen that Liu Yuan's thinking is eclectic, and Liu Yuan's usual many whimsical ideas are very surprising to Li Er, although the eldest grandson queen and the eldest grandson Wuji are also a good object for discussion, but Li Er is too familiar with them and knows them too well, and he understands that he can guess what they want to say, so he naturally has no interest in discussing, and specially talked to Liu Yuan, and there was an unexpected gain.

"Congratulations to the emperor." Liu Yuan said respectfully in the back. (To be continued......)

PS: Happy weekend!
