"Gonu! How dare you deceive me! ”

As soon as Li Linfu came, Brother Ji said something inexplicable.

At this moment, in the corridor on the second floor of the Calyx Xianghui Building, there is only the sound of the wind blowing the leaves. Fang Youde, Gao Lishi, Li Shizhi and others beside Li Longji did not speak, waiting for Li Linfu's answer.

"Back to the saint, Wechen didn't know what to bully the king, and asked the sage to inform Wechen. If it is true, Weichen asks the saint to punish him. ”

Li Linfu took off his official hat and put it on the ground, bowed and saluted with his hands crossed, and his attitude was extremely humble.

"I ask you, do you know about the civil unrest in Yangzhou, the attack on the county seat by Caogong and weavers, and the rebellion of officials?"

Li Longji asked coldly.

"Back to the saint, I have heard a little about this. However, there was no civil unrest reported in Yangzhou Mansion, so please ask the saint to investigate. ”

Li Linfu said slowly.

"Yangzhou Assassin Shi Yang Zhao was killed, and the prime minister didn't know it! Brother Nu, how did you become the right minister of the Tang Dynasty! ”

Brother Kei's temper seems to be very big today, but it's more like "borrowing the topic to play".

"Back to the saint, the assassination of Yangzhou Shi, Wechen is about to report, but this matter may not be the same as what the sage thinks, Wechen thinks that it is better to let Fang Jieshuai say it."

Li Linfu said as he looked at Fang Youde, who was the old god on the side, and bowed to Li Longji again.

"Quan Zhong, do you know about this too?"

Li Longji turned his head and asked Fang Youde beside him.

"Back to the saints, Yang Zhao fishes and eats the people, and he is the victim. The civil unrest in Yangzhou was caused by him, and the slogan shouted by the rioters was to kill Yang Zhao alive. Weichen returned to Chang'an from Lingnan, passing through Yangzhou, and happened to encounter civil unrest, so he entered Yangzhou City to train and unite soldiers to quell the chaos.

Weichen had no soldiers in his hands, so he had to kill Yang Zhao in front of the rebellious people, and took the opportunity to attack and quell the rebellion in one fell swoop.

After returning to Chang'an, he encountered Li Heng's rebellion, and Weichen had no choice but to persuade the Nanya Forbidden Army to quell the rebellion.

Many affairs followed, so that Wei Chen was dizzy, and he did not have time to report to the saint and ask the saint for forgiveness. ”

Fang Youde saluted with his hands and said, in a few words, pushing the responsibility away.

Lao Tzu must be Yangzhou, Erding Chang'an, why do you want to kill Yang Zhao now?

If I don't kill this force, I will definitely stay in Yangzhou to quell the rebellion, and I will definitely not be able to come to Chang'an. I don't come to Chang'an, your dog emperor is cold, and you are still talking about a chicken here?

Although Fang Youde's words were subtle, they also made Li Longji's face red and white for a while.

Yang Zhao is dead when he dies, and if everyone doesn't mention it, it's over, and he looks good on his face. Fang Youde killed Yang Zhao in front of him, and put down the rebellion in Chang'an in the back, which is a quick move!

One step slower, whether he, a Tang saint, can still laugh until the end has to say both.

"Well killed, really well killed!

Yang Zhao had been boasting to me before, saying that he had a good way of managing money, and I was deceived by this dog thief.

Quan Zhong has done a good thing for the country and for me. ”

Li Longji said without blushing and heartbeat, almost gritting his teeth at Yang Zhao in his words.

This Tang Dynasty Emperor has selectively forgotten that two months ago, Yang Zhao sent someone to send him the last offering, worth three million yuan. It is said that it was sent to celebrate the birthday of the saint, and it is almost three feet to the ground in the local area.

It was this bottomless raid that completely forced the weavers and workers who were highly organized in the local area.

For Brother Ji, Yang Zhao is like a good dog who can do things, of course it is good to be alive, but if he dies due to an accident, then ...... It's good to have a new one, it's not a big deal.

People are dead, what do you want? To whom do you cry?

At this moment, Brother Ji's heart was very honest, and his grief for Yang Zhao's death was almost like hearing that a palace dog raised in the Forbidden Garden had died, almost better than nothing.

"Summoning you Aiqing here today is really an important matter, and I want to discuss it with you."

Li Longji sighed lightly and continued: "Li Heng has rebelled and his whole family has been ambushed. Despite this, my heart is extremely sad. ”

He shook his head as he spoke, his face filled with sorrow, as if it were really heartache.

Seeing this scene, everyone present saluted very cooperatively: "Please mourn on the saint's day, take care of the dragon's body." ”

"That's it."

Li Longji waved his hand helplessly, and continued: "Li Heng conspired against him, the crime is extremely evil, but the past does not forget the future, how to manage the Ten Princes' Mansion, how to manage these children and grandchildren of mine, what do you think?" ”

Here it comes!

Li Linfu and the others were all tight, and subconsciously clenched their fists.

Not only did this question not surprise them, but everyone knew what question Li Longji would ask when he came today.

After all, Li Heng rebelled, King Xue rebelled, his cousin Wei Shi was involved, and the gossip said that King Shou was holding the saint hostage at the wedding banquet. These bad things inside and out, if Brother Ji didn't deal with them and didn't take remedies afterwards, then he would have been the emperor for so many years.

But if your brain is not completely broken, you will seek countermeasures from the important ministers at this time.

"Sage, Weichen thinks that the management of Zongzheng Temple can be strengthened, and the monitoring of the Ten Princes' Mansion can be strengthened to prevent similar incidents from happening."

Li Linfu saluted Li Longji with his hands crossed.

Actually, he didn't have a good idea, but he just talked about it. The contradiction between the emperor and the princes, Li Linfu, as a distant relative of the clan, what can he say? What could he say?

Is this kind of thing something that he, a "little person", can interfere with?

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Li Longji stood up, pointed at Li Linfu and scolded angrily.

"Ask the saint for forgiveness."

Li Linfu was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt on the ground.

"That's it, don't mention your clichés.

When Li Heng rebelled, what did the Ten Kings Mansion do, and what did Zongzheng Temple do?

I can't be the son of heaven, and it doesn't matter to them! In the future, there is no need to mention these words! ”

Li Longji scolded Li Linfu in a cold tone, and then the board was raised high and gently put down, without any punishment.

The Ten Princes' Mansion is where the princes live, but it is like house arrest and does not have any personal freedom.

However, does this completely eliminate rebellion? Judging from Li Heng's plan this time, this is not the case. The princes can't move, but the magnates of Chang'an can! These activities were extremely energetic, and the princes were right next to the palace, and the coup d'état simply crossed the barrier of distance.

The Tang Dynasty is Li Longji's Tang Dynasty, but it is also the Tang Dynasty of the magnates, especially the Guanlong nobles.

Keeping the princes in Chang'an has one of the biggest harms for Ji Ge, that is, the cost of rebellion of the magnates has been reduced to the extent that anyone with a little strength can come to a hammer.

The first step was to briefly control Kego.

The second step is to support a prince who lives in Chang'an.

The third step is to issue the edict of abdication and the edict of enthronement, and subdue the forbidden army from all walks of life in Chang'an.

This has become standard procedure.

As long as the princes are still in Chang'an City, it is almost inevitable that they will become the banners of rebellion of the magnates in the future.

The Northern Wei Dynasty is a vivid example, after Emperor Xiaowen Yuanhong, before the Erzhurong Heyin Change, the clans living in Luoyang were all restless, and collusion with the rebellion of powerful ministers has become the norm, and finally let the Empress Dowager Hu, an incompetent woman, ascend the throne.

It is only two hundred years since the story of the Northern Wei Dynasty passed.

"Saints, all dynasties, the management of the royal family is not an easy thing.

Generally speaking, the princes either went out to the ground; Either concentrate in the capital. There are pros and cons to both, and it is not possible to generalize. ”

Suddenly, Fang Youde saluted Brother Ji and said.

"All the loyalists have a point."

Li Longji nodded slightly and said.

Fang Youde's words can be regarded as Lao Cheng's serious words, how could Brother Ji not understand.

It is inconvenient for Li Linfu to say a lot of things, because he is also a clan. But there is no obstacle to Fang Youde's cronies, after all, whether the prince is released or not, the other party has almost no direct impact.

Brother Ji knows in his heart that many things are objective laws, and they will not fundamentally change because of people's will. In all dynasties, the relationship between the emperor and the prince was difficult to get along, and the mode of managing the clan was roughly divided into two types.

The first is the feudal system between the prince and the clan since the Han Dynasty, and the princes who have reached adulthood must be released from the capital to prevent them from remaining in the capital and threatening the emperor himself.

The second way is to do the opposite, that is, to bind the prince and the clan within the five suits to the capital, and hand over the general affairs of the Zongzheng Temple to manage its general affairs, and basically will not be released.

So, which one is better?

In the early Tang Dynasty, the first type was implemented, and since the beginning of the Wu Zhou Dynasty, the second type has been implemented, and since the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, Ji Ge has strengthened the second type, and the management of the prince and the close branch clan has become more and more strict.

I thought everything was beautiful, but it was obvious that judging from the rebellion between Li Heng and King Xue this time, no system could guarantee that the princes would not rebel, and there was no perfect system.

"Then Quan Zhong thinks, which one is better?"

Li Longji looked at Fang Youde with burning eyes and asked.

"Back to the saint, I think it's better to let the prince out."

Fang Youde said with a salute with his crossed hands.

Before Li Longji could speak, the fierce-tempered Li Shizhi immediately interjected and angrily reprimanded: "What nonsense! If the princes are released from Chang'an, won't they be encouraging them to rebel! In the long run, the country will not be a country! ”

Li Shizhi himself is an anxious person, as soon as he heard Fang Youde's words, he knew that things were going to be bad!

Now that the princes are confined in the Ten Princes' Mansion, these people are still dissatisfied with Li Longji, and their intention to replace them is obvious. Then after these people are released from Chang'an, and after the opening of governments and government offices in various places, new local forces are formed, and it must be a matter of time before they raise troops to rebel!

"Saint, you have the words of virtue, don't listen to them! The princes are in Chang'an, and they can also be suppressed, if they are released, they will be like fish entering the sea, and the tiger will return to the mountain! ”

Li Shizhi hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to Li Longji, begging Brother Ji not to listen to Fang Youde's "slander".

"I have my own opinions."

Li Longji waved his hand and motioned for Li Shizhi to stand up. Then he looked at Fang Youde and asked, "What did Quan Zhong say?" ”

"Go back to the saints, let the princes move out of Chang'an, but not far, only settle in the surrounding states and counties of Chang'an.

At the same time, their power is restricted, and they are not allowed to hold official positions such as assassination and jiedu envoys, and they are not allowed to enter Chang'an unless they are edicted. If you want to enter Beijing, you must first get the permission of the sage before you can enter Chang'an, and you are not allowed to bring your cronies into the city. ”

Fang Youde said his thoughts concisely.

To put it bluntly, it is to kick the princes out of Chang'an like a ball, but not too far, settle in the vicinity of Chang'an, and do not give them the opportunity to hold official positions.

If people are not in Chang'an, it is impossible for them to be used by the powerful to find opportunities to rebel. You must know that Li Longji, an old man, if something happens and he enters a state of coma and can't be controlled, it is easy for the princes who are close at hand to find an opportunity to do something.

And this threshold is very low, even so low that a prince like King Shou, who has lost his power, can take a risk.

This is the benefit of kicking the princes out of Chang'an, of course, this move is only beneficial to Brother Ji, whether it is good for Datang is another matter.

Then, arranging the princes around Chang'an can minimize the danger of the princes raising troops and rebellion. If they want to rebel, they can't even find a side general who can fight! There is no way to gather enough force under the nose of Brother Kei.

After all, they are outside Chang'an City, and many things are inconvenient to operate. The outer city of Chang'an itself is a "natural risk" with a high threshold, which will greatly increase the cost of rebellion for the princes.

Of course, if these princes are put in places like Youzhou and Liangzhou, it will be difficult to say.

It can be said that Fang Youde's suggestion does have the possibility of implementation, and it is not like Li Shizhi said, "Lie to confuse the public".

Isn't that how Datang came over in front of him?

It's just that now that the opening of the prince's release has been opened, who can predict what will happen in the future?

What Li Shizhi is worried about is the long-term concern for the future, not the upcoming near-term worry.

"Three days later, let's put this matter to the court meeting for discussion."

Li Longji waved his hand and said, but did not say which of the two methods, which one is good and which is not.

After all the ministers left, Fang Youde was left alone by Li Longji, and the two came to the newly renovated imperial study to discuss.

"Quan Zhong, today's suggestion doesn't quite look like your style in the past. But what's the inside story? ”

After the two sat down, Li Longji said tiredly.

"The sage, the view of the minister, is for the Tang Dynasty for a hundred years, not just for the saint."

Fang Youde saluted Li Longji with his hands crossed and said.

"I know you're loyal, but how can I say that?"

"Back to the saints, the strategy of the Ten Kings' Mansion, although the management is easier, it seems that it can also take care of the hearts of the kings.

However, in the long run, the crown prince may not be abolished, and the princes also need to compete and motivate upward. If they have been kept in the Ten Kings' Mansion, the future will only be ...... They will not even be as good as the unscrupulous children of ordinary powerful families. ”

Fang Youde said boldly, this is a very taboo. However, he and Fang Chongyong discussed this for a long time, and Fang Chongyong was very sure that Li Longji now wanted to keep his unscrupulous people far away, out of sight and out of mind.

Or slaughter them all.

It's just that the latter one is less likely.

"The words of total loyalty have won my heart. I also think so, and if the prince is released, it may be a disaster to cause a small wall, but ...... Don't raise them all as pigs.

It's just that I'm old, and I can't cope with them. Can Quanzhong have a good way to deal with it? ”

Li Longji asked with a tired face.

Fang Youde thought about it, and finally saluted with his hands and said: "It is rumored that the saint and King Shou are not in harmony, so please ask the saint to make King Shou the crown prince." ”

"Shou Wang......"

Li Longji thought about it, and was suddenly stunned, and found that this trick was really wonderful!

Set up King Shou as a target first, and let his sons all keep an eye on King Shou! Because of this incident, all the princes basically hate King Shou to the bone, and no one will ever take refuge in him.

In addition, King Shou has little power in the court, and his mother is Concubine Wu Hui, which will remind the courtiers of the twisted years when they were dominated by Wu Zetian.

In short, now King Shou is the weakest power in the court, and he is also the most unpopular prince!

No matter who inherits the unification, that person will definitely not be Shouwang Li Xuan!

Set this target up first, and then slowly cultivate a smaller prince. This trick seems to be ...... Very funny!

"You go back and think about it first, and then we'll talk about it in three days."

Li Longji said noncommittally. Although he had confirmed in his heart that he had agreed with Fang Youde's suggestion, he still wanted to make a decision after the court meeting and see what the ministers of the court and the central government had to say.

"That Weichen retires, please take care of the dragon's body."

Fang Youde saluted Li Longji with his crossed hands and slowly retreated. When I walked out of Xingqing Palace, I found that my back was already wet with cold sweat.

"Fang Chongyong, this bastard, what a bad idea, he actually proposed to establish King Shou!"

There was no one around, Fang Youde couldn't help but whisper, and scolded Fang Chongyong, who was "face-to-face" behind him, half to death in his heart.
