Li Ke actually knows very well that these guys of the Shi clan have not used their full strength even now.

Don't look at the previous public opinion war, which was provoked by the scholars, but this is really a small scene for the scholars.

It's not a big deal.

As for food, hehe, the most abundant materials of the Shi clan are estimated to be food.

In the final analysis, their current strength is, at best, a benefit and not a cost.

did not touch the foundation of the other clans, nor did he really tear his face with Li Chengqian.

If you really want to withdraw and give in to Li Chengqian, it's not impossible.

In any case, the power of the scholar clan in the Tang Dynasty is intertwined, and even if Li Chengqian returns to Chang'an and ascends to Dabao, it is impossible to uproot their scholar clan.

It is no exaggeration to say that the scholar clans such as King Cui Lu Zheng and Pei Du Weiliu are only descendants and collateral clansmen, so there are not a few, and if they are really uprooted, hehe, a blue jade case is not enough to fill.

"Your Highness laughed." When Zheng Xu heard this, he also smiled and said, "I will spare no effort in supporting His Highness's attitude." ”

"Huh?" When Li Ke heard this, he sneered, "Then why did this king hear that in Taohe County, Cui Hao of the Cui family has been walking with Xu Jingzong quite frequently recently, on the contrary, he is quite distant from Du Beijia and others?"

I also heard that you, Cui Lu and Zheng Wang, have set up a workshop with Daming, and they have been making a lot of money recently, right? ”

He is still familiar with Cui Hao, and it was he and Li Tai who broke this person's leg back then.

Of course, Zheng Xu naturally knows about these things, but they are happy to see it happen.

Everyone knows the truth that eggs can't be put in one basket, how can they not know that they are a big family that has not fallen for thousands of years?

As for Cui Hao, then hehe, aren't people wary of you? What's the matter with us?

"This matter is actually beneficial to His Highness." Zheng Xu said with a smile, "For Daming, they can now be proud of the world, the most decisive capital is their technology, if we can learn their technology this time, in the future, when Daming is destroyed, we can also use it to revive Datang."

As for talking about Xu Jingzong......

Your Highness, no matter what, Xu Jingzong is the county guard of Taohe County, even if he can't win over this person, but he can't let him fall to that one, right? ”

No matter what you think in your heart, you have to say it.

This is the reason why the scholars and the royal families of all dynasties hated the scholars.

It is said that a gentleman is a righteous man, and a villain is a good man, but after so many years of development, the scholars are really inferior to villains in their behavior.

Since Sima Zhaodang killed the monarch in the Western Jin Dynasty, the etiquette and music have collapsed, and the scholars have long since disappeared.

"Let's leave that at that." Li Ke said, "Now that the war in the Great Zhao Dynasty has been stalemate, Dr. Zheng said, what kind of strength can the scholars give?"

This king is still the same sentence, if the scholar clan is still like before, this king is indeed unsustainable, everyone bowed their heads earlier, even if they may be liquidated afterwards, but now that the father is still alive, at least he can survive for a few years, right?

Taking advantage of the past few years, this king has planned and schemed, seeking an opportunity to depreciate himself thousands of miles away, and may be able to spend his old age in peace. ”

His attitude now is very clear, forcing the scholars to die.

Two-faced and three-stabbed people, hehe, are all fucking damned.

"What does Your Highness want me to do?" Zheng Xu asked tentatively.

Li Ke said with a smile: "Now that the war in the court of Dazhao is in full swing, as the war continues, more people, grain and grass, and ordnance will inevitably be needed, and in this regard, your scholar clan has a unique advantage, and this king needs you to be in charge of this." ”

"No!" As soon as he heard this, Zheng Xu immediately stood up and said, "Supplying grain and herbs to the army is already an arrogant act, if you get involved in the people and ordnance needed for the march, how can my little warrior clan afford it?" ”

Are you kidding.

Just supply some food and grass.

What do you want to do with the people and ordnance, isn't it a rebellion?

Let's not talk about whether they have the ability to do this, if they really want to do this, it is estimated that Li Er's southern expedition will not continue, and he will go north directly with a large army to destroy their warriors.

Li Ke said with a smile: "Doctor Zheng is serious, since this king said so, he is naturally prepared." As soon as Li Ke raised his hand, someone respectfully took out a holy decree, Li Ke took it and said, "This is a decree that this king asked his father before, and now the court of Dazhao has offended me in the Tang Dynasty, but now the Tang Dynasty uses troops in the north and south, and the dispatch is not good, and my father allows me to recruit people of insight in the world......"

As he spoke, Li Ke handed the holy decree to Zheng Xu.

Zheng Xu took the holy decree and looked at it curiously, and on the side, Lu Zhengju and others also hurriedly came over.

It's okay not to look at it, everyone is ecstatic when they see it!

To put it simply, Li Er's will allowed Li Ke to build his own armaments, organize his own people, and requisition grain and grass by himself, but at the end he said that he must not exploit the people.

What the, isn't this made for them?

If you can't exploit the people, then find a way from the scholars?

"Your Highness, this is not up to us." Zheng Xu thought about it, suppressed the emotions in his heart, and then said, "We still need to go to the letter clan and let the clan make a decision." ”

nodded, Li Ke didn't say much, the big family is like this, many things need to be discussed.

But at this moment, Li Ke suddenly said: "But you still need to know that if it can be done this time, the relationship between the scholar clan and the royal family will be closer, which is also the great trust of my father."

Since ancient times, how has an emperor ever allowed his courtiers to build ordnance?

This is also my father's trust in us, and we must not let my father down. ”

"It's nature." Zheng Xu also nodded hurriedly.

They don't really care about how close they are to the royal family.

But if they can build ordnance legally, it will be advantageous for them.

Don't forget, each of them has at least tens of thousands of tenants!

It is no exaggeration to say that if they get together, they will control the population base of half of the Tang Dynasty.

That's the scariest thing about them.

When Li Er conquered the world, he even asked Cheng Yanjin to go to the Lu family to borrow soldiers, although he was refused, but it can be seen from here that these scholars are not so simple.

Li Er's father and son, this time they really threw a bait that was difficult to refuse.

That night, several fast horses left Chang'an City and went straight to various places.

……

A few days later, Luoyang City ushered in a group of uninvited guests.

And this group of uninvited guests has one thing in common, that is, their beards are gradually graying.

And they are the real rulers of the Shi clan today!

For thousands of years, China has had this old problem, and it is more believed in the rules of not doing things firmly without hair.

Especially in this feudal era, the importance of the right to speak depends on the degree of black and white beard......

It doesn't matter how capable he is, as long as he is tall enough, his beard is white enough, and he lives long enough, what he says is weighty!

This kind of stinky problem is not only true in their homes, but also in ordinary people's homes.

As for why they chose Luoyang instead of Chang'an this time, it is actually simple, and now that the big thing is undecided, they don't want to fall into that whirlpool.

This led to the trip to Luoyang.

"This time, Your Majesty has given us a problem." Seeing that everyone had arrived, one of the old men said.

"Elder Cui is right." It was the old man of Hongnong Yang who spoke, "Your Majesty is so bold in building ordnance. ”

No one refutes this, indeed, since ancient times, no emperor has allowed private weapons to be built, not even his own son!

"Then what do you say, what is Your Majesty's intention in doing this?" Someone else asked.

"Intent?" When Cui Lao heard this, he smiled, "There are nothing more than two." ”

"I want to hear about it."

Cui Lao continued: "First, Your Majesty is now in the prime of spring and autumn, and he does not want to see the prince sitting big, and wants to take this opportunity to completely solve the hidden danger of the prince.

After all, today's prince is strong and strong, and he has the support of courtiers, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the strongest prince in all parties throughout the ages.

But as an emperor, how could His Majesty allow such a powerful prince?

Imperial power is not permissible to anyone, including his son. ”

"If that's the reason, then do it!" The old man of the Wang family immediately nodded.

As soon as he finished speaking, someone shook his head and said, "But Your Majesty is not worried about the wolf before and after the tiger?" ”

He had a point.

If Li Ke solves the threat posed by Li Chengqian for Li Er, then the biggest threat to Li Er at that time will be Li Ke.

"Not really." Cui Lao said, "The biggest reason for the threat brought by the prince is that it is uncontrollable, and the hard power that the prince really relies on is all brought down by himself with a knife and a gun."

His Majesty has no control over this, which is why he is uneasy.

After all, the threat posed by the crown prince is outside.

If you change to the King of Shu, including the King of Shu, now Your Majesty is in the prime of life, and the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are also in the army of a hundred battles, with Your Majesty's majestic strategy, this bit of self-confidence is still there.

Besides, if you want to defeat the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop, even if our warrior clan dies, it is estimated that it will suffer heavy losses.

At that time, where will there be the ability to threaten His Majesty?

In the final analysis, Your Majesty wants to compete with each other for profit. ”

"In that case, it's done." The old man of the Lu family said when he heard this, "The emperors of all dynasties regarded our scholars as night pots.

When needed, we dare not leave our hands for a moment, but once it is necessary, we can't wait to kick it far away, in the end, we lack the ability to speak for ourselves. ”

He was right.

Back then, Emperor Wen of Sui was able to create the Great Sui, and their scholars were deadly.

As a result, when Emperor Yang ascended the throne, he was eager to grind their scholars to death.

Why did Emperor Yang conquer Goguryeo three times?

Isn't it just to use Goguryeo to dissipate the power of the Shi clan and turn the internal contradictions to the outside?

Although the Sui Dynasty abolished the family soldier system at that time and forced the family soldiers to change back to their original surnames, the brains of these guys of the Shi clan are really good, if you abolish the family soldier system, then I will admit that I am a fake!

In "The Legend of the Xingtang Dynasty", Qin Qiong is still the fake son of the king of the mountain.

For a long time, I still change the soup without changing the medicine.

Yes, that's right, these scholars have family soldiers, even if the Tang Dynasty implements the government military system now, and most of their family soldiers have been disarmed and returned to the field, but these people, take up arms, and they can go into battle to kill the enemy at any time!

I'm always a little older, but it's better to have a lot of experience.

It was precisely because Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty wanted to solve their stumbling blocks on the road to centralization that they helped Li Yuan and founded the Tang Dynasty.

thought that he finally had a good life to live, but as a result, Li Eryi ascended the throne, and the military system of Daxing Mansion used them as night pots again.

Who do you ask them to reason with?

"Second?" Someone asked.

Didn't you say there were two reasons?

"Hey......" Elder Cui sighed when he heard this, and then said, "Second, Your Majesty wants to force out the heritage of our Shi clan and measure the strength of our Shi clan, so as to formulate a policy on how to check and balance our Shi clan in the future."

Perhaps, our majesty also wants to attack our scholars, just like Emperor Yang back then.

In the final analysis, Your Majesty is an emperor after all, and every emperor wants to get absolute rights, and we have become a roadblock on Your Majesty's road......"

"Perhaps, these are the reasons for Your Majesty, and even three or four of them...... We just don't know yet. When Lu Lao heard this, he also sighed.

They assisted one dynasty after another, but it is true that the monarchs of each dynasty regarded them like tigers.

Speaking of this, everyone was a little helpless, and after a long time, the old man surnamed Wang said: "Why is this?" In the final analysis, we never wanted to get involved in imperial power......

Our greatest wish is only to be a scholarly heirloom, to read, to help the common people if there is spare strength, if there is no strength to catch it, if the world is turbulent, we are also willing to save the building will fall, restore the glory of the Han family.

What's wrong? ”

How sad and helpless he was.

When everyone heard this, they also nodded again and again.

Really, that's what they really think.

There is no greater scam in the world than this.

Deceive others, deceive yourself first......

"So, what are we doing?" After a few moments, someone finally asked the most concerned question.

When Cui Lao heard this, he immediately said: "The old man thinks it's feasible!" O o's time for the world to know what a warrior is. ”

"Yes!" The old man of the Lu family also nodded when he heard this, and said, "Elder Wang is right, our original intention is to save the building and restore the glory of the Han family!"

The prince is now acting rebellious and reusing foreign races, if he ascends the throne one day, my Han family will be glorious, who will recover?

If there is spare strength, it will help the common people, this is the mission of our scholars, and it is also the foundation of our scholars to stand in the world.

It doesn't matter whether Your Majesty wants to persecute our clan or not, and no matter how Your Majesty will persecute our clan in the future.

For the glory of the Han family, even if we die, we will not retreat! ”

"That's right! This time it is not for personal gain, but for the glory of the Han family! Someone immediately said.

After a while, a group of people said that it was a blood boiling.

There is quite a trend of seeing death as home.

It's just a group of guys who are half buried in the loess, and this posture is more or less funny.

Of course, you have to admit that such shameless words were just said by them.

At this point, the literati really have to be shameless, and a reckless man like Wei Chi Jingde really has to stand aside!

I think this chapter is really well written! I was almost touched by their shamelessness...... For their shamelessness, ask for a monthly pass!
