Chapter 18: The Suffering Li Kuan

Historically, Feng Ang entered Chang'an in the fifth year of Zhenguan, after the end of the war to destroy the Turks, and it was also the beginning of the glorious years when the Tang Dynasty began to dominate Asia.

At that time, Datang must have had a lot of things that Feng Ang needed.

But what is Feng Ang doing in Chang'an at this time? He also recommended his eldest son to come to Chang'an as an official.

No, it's not so much an official as a proton.

With doubts, Li Kuan took a few more copies of the notes that Wang Jue picked out for him.

This time, it is written about the sugar production base of some local officials, as well as the analysis of the origin of raw materials, and the final impeachment.

If Feng Ang is impeached for inaction, Feng Ang will not be able to be impeached, and the Lingnan barbarians will be impeached for committing rebellion.

In the final analysis, Feng An's Lingnan, as the origin of sugarcane, is now in short supply, which is really damned.

When Li Kuan saw this, he suddenly realized.

"In other words, there is a group of families who don't want Feng Ang to earn money from sugarcane production."

The sugar given by Li Kuan is sucrose, and Lingnan is the main planting area.

Wang Qi put away the fold that Li Kuan sent back, and said with a smile: "Your understanding is not wrong. ”

Li Kuan's brows furrowed slightly, aren't these families afraid of provoking a war?

Feng Ang, there are soldiers in his hands.

Seeing what Li Kuan was thinking at a glance, Wang Qi picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Feng Ang doesn't have the courage to fight." ”

The determined tone made Li Kuan puzzled.

Wang Qi beckoned the people below to take away the meal for the two, and asked him to bring two cups of tea, and said slowly: "Feng Ang, this person, is too careful, and he has never underestimated the ruthlessness of the family, let alone the ruthlessness of His Majesty." ”

"Therefore, he will not raise troops to resist, he will only choose to use the means within the rules, and entering Chang'an is his only way out."

Li Kuan's heart was full of complexity, why did he get more confused the more he heard about Feng An's entry into Chang'an, why were there so many things here.

Isn't it just that the simple families have taken a fancy to Feng Anlingnan's sugarcane business and are ready to grab the business? As soon as you explain, there is still Li Shimin's matter.

Wang Qi looked at Li Kuan's confused eyes, chuckled, and continued to explain: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, it doesn't matter how Feng Ang is this person, it doesn't matter if the family is greedy or not, it doesn't matter what Your Majesty likes in Lingnan, and the sugar business is not important. ”

"But when it comes together, it's important."

"For example, Feng Ang entered Chang'an, he must bow his head, which means that Chang'an can interfere in the situation in Lingnan, and after His Majesty came to power, he completed the first major event, recovering Lingnan politically, and the family occupied a sugar business in the process, and it itself grew a point, and for Feng An, he entered Chang'an and lost absolute control of Lingnan, but he will get part of the rights of Chang'an."

"You see, this must be the direction of the next thing."

Li Kuan was silent for a moment, and then pretended to be indifferent and said, "Prince, you have said so much, what does it have to do with me?" ”

Wang Qi smiled, took a sip of tea, and said calmly: "This is the advantage of the position of Huangmen Shilang, with the real-time information that he has access to, he can analyze a lot of changes in Datang." ”

"I'll take Feng Ang's incident as an example, just to tell you that this position is very important, it can let you know a lot of news in advance, and it can allow you to lay out a lot of things."

Li Kuan understood now, and his scalp was numb and he scanned the dense twists and turns in the room.

That's all information.

It's all the same everywhere.

Here, you can grasp the situation in each place and make a real layout.

Li Kuan finally understood what Wang Qi wanted to tell him.

The so-called Chang'an is a game arena, which tells him to look at problems from the perspective of a third party.

The superiority of the Yellow Gate Squire is to tell him how important you really are.

Wang Qi, are you teaching him?

Li Kuan was stunned when he thought of this, why?

Li Kuan hesitated, but still asked directly: "Why did the prince teach me like this." ”

Wang Qi always had a smile on his face, and in the face of Li Kuan's inquiry, he also replied bluntly: "There is something in the King of Chu that is worthy of my investment. ”

"Make more personal connections with you."

"I can also do my duty as a family."

Li Kuan knew this, and Li Gang told him about it at the beginning.

Hearing Wang Jue's answer, Li Kuan also breathed a sigh of relief, if the investment is good, I like to invest, as for the return, it depends on me.

In the following days, Li Kuan has been studying with Wang Jue, and Li Shimin has not looked for him.

The solution to the problem of tax evasion that he and Li Xiaogong had spoken about had not been passed by the court, and Li Shimin's rights had not reached the level of being arbitrary.

Regarding this situation, Wang Jue also explained to Li Kuan.

"The solutions to the problem are good, but it's a pity that Your Majesty's rights are not enough to be enforced, and there are too many people in the court who oppose them."

Another afternoon, Wang Jue chatted with Li Kuan again.

Li Kuan smiled indifferently, Li Shimin's rights are not enough, this is not a big deal, after all, rights need to be fought for and grabbed.

Li Shimin can't kill all the family, if he kills them all, who will help him rule the world.

The ones you count on for the imperial examinations?

To put it mildly, in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, it was not until the Song Dynasty that the imperial examination began to shake the foundation of the family, and before, including the Sui Dynasty, the imperial examination could only be said to have opened a hole, as for shaking the foundation of the family, it was simply impossible.

Because in the final analysis, the Hanmen are the appearance of the family after the decline, and they themselves are inextricably linked to the family.

And when the people don't have enough to eat, they don't have money to study at all, how can they shake the foundation of the family.

The imperial examination was opened, and it can only be said that it assisted the promotion route of the Hanmen, but from the fact that the examiners are all from families, you can know that it is impossible for these children of the Hanmen to fully support the imperial power.

Wang Jue saw Li Kuan's attitude of not caring and explained: "You don't have to care, maybe one day you will become the emperor, maybe you will have to compete with the family for power." ”

Li Kuan was startled by these words, and he quickly got up and looked left and right, and then glared at Wang Qi viciously, and complained: "Prince, if you talk like this, be careful to kill you and me." ”

Wang Jue saw him come back to his senses and continued what he said just now: "Many of Your Majesty's policies are good, but if he doesn't complete the replacement of court personnel for a day, he won't be able to implement the decree happily for a day. ”

Li Kuan had a bad premonition in his heart.

Wang Jue's next words confirmed Li Kuan's premonition.

"If nothing happens, I will soon leave the position of the Yellow Gate Squire and go to work in the court."

"Wei Zheng is also going to leave the secretary and go to work in Menxia Province."

"Your Majesty, after all, we have to carry out a plan to pull a batch and fight a batch."

Li Kuan couldn't help but sigh, if Wang Jue left, how tired he would be here.

Why did the suffering still take him, I was speechless.
