Chapter 675: Son of the Han Sect
Li Xiang thought that it was involved in the dispute between famous families, and there might be some things between various families, but after the five surnames and seven hopes weakened, Li Xiang already didn't take these famous families in his eyes, so he didn't take it seriously.
But I didn't expect Lord Zhao to raise another sharp contradiction, that is, the competition between the children of the wealthy and the children of the poor, which is not only a sharp contradiction in this era, even in the 21st century, such contradictions also exist, and such contradictions exist in all countries.
There are only so many positions in society, and the wealthy themselves are standing on the top of everyone, and they also want to seek a better position for their children, so they are bound to suppress those poor children, but the number of poor children is very large, in this case, they will also work hard for their future, and the collision between the two sides is inevitable.
"In the officialdom of my Tang Dynasty, Chang'an City may be able to score in half, the number of children of famous families is not very prominent, but His Royal Highness the Yamen in various places can go to investigate, the officials everywhere have backgrounds, if you don't have a background, you can't be this official at all."
When Lord Zhao said this, even he himself felt very surprised, you must know that he is not usually such a person, even if he thinks so in his heart, he can't say it on his lips, maybe today because of alcohol, Lord Zhao's words are a bit too much.
However, when Lord Zhao said this, he was already ready for everything, it turned out that these words had been pressed in his chest for a long time, although he was from a famous family, but he had already seen that if the imperial court continued to develop like this, it would be extremely unfavorable to all the people, and it would not be good for the whole country, Li Xiang was an enlightened person, if Li Xiang could solve this problem, he might be able to renew the life of the Tang Dynasty for five hundred years.
"What Lord Zhao said, I haven't paid attention to it before, but this is indeed a sharp contradiction, the famous family has existed for too long, their tentacles have penetrated into all aspects of society, I have fought head-on with people with five surnames and seven hopes, although they have all lost, but today I listened to some words of Lord Zhao, I think the five surnames and seven hopes are not the most important, but some small and medium-sized families around the country are the most terrifying."
Since Lord Zhao took the initiative to say these words, then he was also against these famous families controlling the government, Li Xiang also said what was in his heart, Lord Zhao nodded beside him, Li Xiang could see this, this is already farther than many court elites.
In the eyes of many court elites, the five surnames and seven hopes are the famous families who control the government, as long as the five surnames and seven hopes are solved, then the rights of the court can naturally return to the hands of the emperor, in fact, this is a very one-sided idea.
It turned out that when Li Xiang was just reborn, he did think like this, but after a long period of observation, Li Xiang saw that this kind of thing was different, what the five surnames and seven hopes achieved for a long time was a kind of guidance, and their personal strength was indeed strong, but if they wanted to compete with the imperial court, they actually used small and medium-sized families in various places.
If the small and medium-sized families in various places take it out alone, none of them can compete with the imperial court, but when they gather together and twist into a rope, this is a very powerful force, even if the imperial court wants to move them, it will not have such confidence, unless you want to see national turmoil.
Therefore, the court must also pay attention to the rules, these small and medium-sized families are mixed together, and they can be regarded as reaching an inexplicable tacit understanding with the court, if we make a mistake, you can move us, but if we don't make a mistake and you are looking for trouble, the landlords and heroes everywhere are not joking.
Li Xiang suddenly thought of the Huangchao Uprising that affected the entire Tang Dynasty.
It is very clear in the history books that this guy originally wanted to get fame, if he could get fame, then he would be able to enter the court of the Tang Dynasty smoothly, and naturally there would be no turmoil all over the country later.
Why did he embark on the path of rebellion at that time? It was because he was not on the road to fame, or that his place was occupied by those wealthy children, so this guy couldn't see any hope, so he raised the banner of resistance.
When he thought of this, Li Xiang was sweating all over, if he continued to develop like this, it is very likely that there will be several such figures, it seems that this matter is not a trivial matter, while resolving the external struggle, Li Xiang must also give these poor children a glimmer of hope.
As the ruler of a country, if you can't balance the forces in your own country, then you don't need to wait for the outside people to come in, just these internal turmoil can already make you tired to deal with, and then you only need a simple planning point, and the contradictions of the whole society will be ignited, these contradictions have accumulated for so many years, and you want to extinguish them in a short time, which is also a very difficult thing.
When he thought of this, Li Xiang stood up and made a gesture to Lord Zhao, you must know that Lord Zhao is a person within a famous nobleman, and people can say these words, but they have actually betrayed their own family and take the great responsibility of the world as their own responsibility, such a person is indeed a hero of the Tang Dynasty.
"I can't afford His Highness's gift, I can't afford His Highness's gift, in fact, I've been hesitating for a long time, and I should have brought up such a thing a long time ago, but I thought of the people behind me......"
Lord Zhao hurriedly knelt in front of Li Xiang, how could he receive such a big gift from Li Xiang? Li Xiang is now the imperial grandson of the Tang Dynasty, which is a fatal thing.
"Compared to other people, adults can take this step, this is actually very difficult, this matter was also I went the wrong way in the early years, I didn't think about it so clearly, in fact, the five surnames and seven hopes are all on the bright side, they can see the harm to the country, but the small and medium-sized families everywhere can't see it."
Li Xiang also shook his head, his previous strategy was indeed problematic, although he defeated the arrogance of the five surnames and seven hopes, but to tell the truth, this step was also successful, but it was not so successful, and now it has made small and medium-sized families everywhere vigilant, and the road ahead ............
