Chapter 1277: Root Cause
Li Zhi really envied Li Qinzai from the bottom of his heart.
Regardless of his status and status, at least Li Qinzai lives more chic and transparent than him.
There are a lot of wine, wealth, greed, hatred, and obsession, but people live a relaxed and comfortable life, and there are clear grievances.
In the final analysis, what Li Zhi envies is Li Qinzai's happiness and revenge, this kind of life realm, sitting in Li Zhi's position, is impossible to achieve in a lifetime.
"Let's get down to business, the people are also abolished, the house has been demolished, and the protΓ©gΓ©s of the Eight Great Clans are going crazy to impeach you, fortunately, I have made preparations in advance, otherwise you should be squatting in the prison of Dali Temple and eating gluttonous rice at this time."
Li Qinzai hurriedly took the cup: "Thank you Your Majesty for your maintenance, I won't say anything, it's all in the wine." β
Li Zhi took a sip of wine tastelessly, and said, "You got into trouble, I came to help you wipe your ass, and I feel aggrieved when I think about it......"
"Great mercy, great mercy, Your Majesty." Li Qinzai persuaded.
Li Zhi took a deep breath: "That's it, after Liu Renliang's performance was made public, it is not us who is anxious now, but the eight major wang clans." β
Saying that, Li Zhi sneered: "If the rebellion is involved, the nature of the matter will be different, the current Eight Great Clans have no intention of fighting with you at all, and then they will inevitably defend their innocence one by one, from beginning to end, the initiative is in our hands." β
Li Qinzai hurriedly boasted again: "Your Majesty's clever plan to calm the world!" β
Li Zhi laughed proudly twice, then coughed again, and said: "It's not exactly my clever plan, Liu Ren's sparse play on the track, the idea is also what he thinks, although this old fox hates it, but his idea is clever, I have to admire." β
Li Qinzai said sincerely: "The minister corrects what he just said, if Liu Renliang jumps to scold his mother in the future, His Majesty can bear it or bear it, after all, loyal ministers are rare." β
Li Zhi took a deep breath again and pointed at him: "You have made me feel aggrieved again......"
"Great Mercy ......"
"Alright, alright, shut up!" Li Zhi said angrily: "After this incident, the Eight Great Clans must know that the monarchs and ministers of Chang'an are not easy to mess with, and they can act a little more restrained in the future, as for the so-called rebellion, let the courtiers make trouble for a while, so as to scare them, and in the end, it will not be over, I can't really take the Eight Great Clans to fight." β
"So, this matter is over for the time being, but ...... This grudge between you and the Eight Great Clans is deep, and it is impossible to resolve it in the future, if you teach them to find an opportunity and seize your handle, you will have to shed your skin if you don't die. β
Li Qinzai smiled confidently: "It's not an exaggeration to say that the minister has no handle for people to arrest." β
Li Zhi tugged at the corners of his mouth: "It's a man who has a handle, but the eunuch standing outside the hall doesn't have a handle." β
Li Qinzai was stunned, and said slowly after a long silence: "Your Majesty, there are only two men in the palace, is it appropriate for you to open this kind of yellow tone?" β
"You're wrong, there are only two men in the palace whose mother-in-law is not at home, if you don't open your yellow mouth at this time, when will you stay?"
Li Zhi said and suddenly gritted his teeth and said: "Those waste things in the Ministry of Rites, the draft has been selected for two months, and I haven't seen a beautiful woman into the palace, and two months later, the queen will return to Chang'an from Luoyang, and everything will be closed at that time, and I have no hope!" β
Li Qinzai said tentatively: "Aren't there still many young palace maids in the Taiji Palace? If Your Majesty is really panicked, it is better to use local materials and find a few palace maids to deal with it......"
Li Zhi suddenly became sad, his cheeks twitched a few times, and he said slowly: "Those palace maids have been in the palace for several years, and I have not spoiled them in the past few years, Jing Chu, guess why?" β
Li Qinzai is a smart person, and immediately thought of the reason, and said cautiously: "Because they ...... Ugly? β
"Yes!" Li Zhi said with a crying voice.
Li Qinzai sighed secretly.
It is very logical that the population base of Datang is so large, even if you put aside your background, the probability of selecting a beautiful woman from the national population is really much smaller than that of later generations more than a thousand years later.
The probability of picking out a beautiful woman in a population of more than one billion is not at the same level as the probability of picking out a beautiful woman in a population of tens of millions, which is about the same as winning the lottery in a scratch lottery.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
After drinking and masturbating, the monarch and the ministers enjoyed themselves, and Li Qinzai returned to the house.
After leaving the palace, Li Qinzai was reassured, with Li Zhi's arrangement, he knew that the Eight Great Clans must have had a hard time recently, and they were originally going to fight back against him crazily, but now they are involved in rebellion, and they are already unable to protect themselves.
When the monarchs and ministers met today, there were some things that Li Qinzai endured and didn't say to Li Zhi.
This topic is too heavy and complicated, and Li Qinzai doesn't know how to speak.
The matter was caused by the annexation of land, which was the root cause of all incidents.
Although the Tang Dynasty has been established for less than 100 years, the problem of land annexation has emerged, and it is intensifying.
If this problem is not solved, the military system of the Tang Dynasty will gradually collapse, and in a few decades, the imperial court will have no available soldiers, so it can only be forced to change to a conscription system.
At that time, the combat strength of the army will go downhill, the pace of the Tang Dynasty's conquest of the stars and the sea will be delayed, and even the century-old strategy proposed by Li Qinzai is just an idealistic whisper, like a fool's dream.
The army only takes money to work, and what do you say about the stars and the sea? It would be fortunate not to be destroyed.
The fundamental reason for the secession of feudal towns in real history is also the collapse of the government and military system, and the general trend of powerful landlords wantonly annexing land.
From ancient times to the present, dynasties have changed, but there is an unbreakable truth, as long as the court allows the peasants to have land, the world will not be chaotic.
It is a pity that China's history is a cycle of endless cycles, and after the change of dynasties, no one learns from it, but repeats the old path of the previous dynasty.
This topic is too big, and Li Qinzai didn't think of a good way to solve the land annexation, after all, he didn't dare to touch the interests of too many people, and he would die an ugly death.
Back in the house, Li Qinzai lay on the spot, and he was an old and mellow old salted fish.
And Chang'an City turned upside down.
After all, Liu Renliang's recital still set off stormy waves.
After Shangshu Province made his recital public, the subjects of Chang'an were boiling.
The eight wang clans in the south of the Yangtze River are involved in rebellion, this is a big deal, after Liu Ren was sparsely arranged, Yushitai took action.
I have to say that Liu Renliang's writing and vision are very old-fashioned, and an ordinary thing was analyzed by him, and people who have read his recital think it is true.
So the next day, snowflakes of impeachment and impeachment flew into Shangshu Province one after another.
The target of the attack this time was the eight major clans in the south of the Yangtze River.
Liu Renliang took the lead, Xu Jingzong of Shangshu Province deliberately made his performance public, coupled with Li Zhi's ambiguous and ambiguous attitude in the Taiji Palace, all kinds of signs added up, the courtiers sniffed keenly, and they seemed to smell something.
It seems that the behavior of the eight wang clans in Jiangnan has indeed been a bit excessive recently, and the Son of Heaven can't stand it anymore, and he is intent on taking the eight wang clans under control.
Since the Son of Heaven has this attitude, what are the courtiers afraid of?
The wall is down, everyone pushes it, them!
