"Why don't Mr. Niu and Mr. Li go to Han Linggong's banquet? Although I live in the palace, I also know that the banquet of the Han Mansion can be described as not getting tired of eating. The water used to cook the tea is collected from the snow-capped roofs of Mt. Jungnam......"

"Weichen and Bachelor Li will not go to Han Xiangye's banquet. "This time it was the cow monk who spoke. "Weichen was sent to Hongwen Hall to copy books because of the impeachment of Han Xiangye's corpse and his abuse of power. And Li Gongzi has a grudge against Han Linggong. ”

Li Xu nodded, it turned out that these two had offended the old Han Tou, so they got someone here to copy the book.

"My father is Jiannan Xidao Jiedu envoy Li Jifu, when the God Emperor used to be the secretary of the military department, the middle book of the door under the Pingzhang, because of the discord with Han Linggong, this went out as a festival envoy. ”

It turned out to be a second generation, Li Xu glanced at Li Deyu, and finally knew where he got these skills from.

Li Xu had a deep impression of Li Jifu, when the God Emperor was still there, Li Jifu once served as the prime minister, and was in charge of cutting the feudal domain together with Pei Du. This person has the power to change and know, and he knows the situation inside the feudal town well, and the results of the early reduction of the feudal domain by the God Emperor depend on his plan.

Later, after the failure of cutting the feudal domain and the edict of the God Emperor, Li Jifu left the center in gloom and went out to serve as a feudal official, successively serving as the observer envoy of western Zhejiang, the envoy of Huainan Jiedu, etc., and now he is serving as the envoy of Shannan West Daojiedu.

When Li Xugang succeeded to the throne, Li Jifu also specially played and sent the "Yuanping Local Chronicles" and "Yuanfang Town Map" written and compiled by him into the palace. The "Yuan Square Town Map" depicts the geographical location of each domain town, and the strength of the army is virtual and real, and Li Jifu's determination to cut down the domain can be seen from this map.

"Ling Zun's "Yuanping Local Chronicles" and "Yuanping Town Map" are on my desk. Li Xu said: "I often read it, and every time I read 'Hebei tribute is taxed, half of Kyushu', 'Yan Zhao is full of customs, and the fruit is in the cultivation and war', 'Jizhou produces healthy horses, and the next one gallops 200 miles a day, so the soldiers are often under the sky' can't be themselves, so how can the world not be in my hands?"

"Our Hebei Lishu has been suffering from the feudal town for ......a long time" Li Xu's words also aroused Li Deyu's sadness, their Li family's hometown is in Zhaozhou, Hebei Zanhuang, controlled by the Chengde Festival envoy.

Li Xu nodded, the attitude of the family clan towards the feudal town has always been hateful. The fields of the families often cross the state and county, and their estates often have concurrent operations, such as animal husbandry, winemaking, vinegar making, as well as mills, water mills and other facilities.

In order to maintain their independence and fight against the imperial court and other feudal towns, the feudal towns often raise a large army that does not match their financial resources, and in order to support the army, they naturally have to scrape the ground desperately, and the oil and water of the common people are very limited.

The existence of the feudal towns also seriously affected the local authority of the family, and the local officials were originally sent by the central government, and most of them were family figures, and they naturally had to respect the local clans as officials. And the self-reliant officials of the feudal towns tried their best to weaken the family, and the two naturally became fire and water.

"Your Majesty, the Book of Han and the historical books that record the Han Dynasty are in the third room of the History Department, and the ministers are ......," Niu Monk replied.

"Don't be busy first," Li Xu looked at the monks and children of the cow, "Mr. Niu thinks that the emperors of the Western Han Dynasty, whose achievements can be described as the first?"

Niu Monk raised his head and looked into the emperor's eyes, the heart in his chest was beating violently, and he knew that he had waited for his own opportunity. Niu monks and children have been famous as prodigies since childhood, and their poems have been praised.

It's a pity that he offended Han Gang and was sent to the Hongwen Pavilion to copy books. He is not a son of a family with heels like Li Deyu, if there is no accident, this life may be so wasteful. However, there is no endless road, who would have thought that today he actually met the emperor, Niu Monk and Child has a Confucian in his name, but he is not a corrupt Confucian, otherwise he would not impeach Han Gang.

He is very aware of the dilemma that there is no one in the emperor's entrainment, whether it is the Empress Dowager Wen or Yu Fuguo, the wind will always blow away. Confucius said that the deceased is like a husband, reluctant to give up day and night.

What kind of hero always gets old one day, although Yu Fuguo is strong, he is also in his sixties, and his life is rare in seventy years, and he still has a few years to live?

The emperor is thirteen years old this year, and in another ten years, it will be twenty-three years old, and the Empress Dowager Wen will have a face to hang the curtain and govern, and the ministers will not agree, if he can catch the emperor, it will be ten years long, and five years short, he Niu Sidian will definitely be able to soar into the sky.

"Weichen thinks that the emperors of the Western Han Dynasty should take Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty as the first ......"

Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, Li Xu smiled when he heard this, and the answer of the cow monk made him very satisfied. It doesn't matter which Han Dynasty emperor has done the most in history, the important thing is that when Niu Shengyu said the name of Emperor Xuan of Han, he showed his attitude.

Niu and Li copied books every day in this Hongwen Pavilion, which shows that there is indeed a problem with the government.

"Let's go, go to the ...... of the history department"

"The third in the history department, Your Majesty. Niu Monk replied.

"Okay, let's go there. ”

In the third room of the History Department, there are historical books of the former Han Dynasty according to the chronology, and what is recorded in the books is no longer important at this time. It was quiet and quiet here, and neither the chamberlain nor Jin Wu could come in, only Li Xu himself, Li Deyu, and Niu Shengyu.

Plotting in the secret room.

Li Xu rubbed his palms, turned around and said to Niu Shengyu and Li Deyu.

"In this situation, what do the two gentlemen teach me?"

As soon as these words came out, Niu Monk and his heart were ecstatic, and the opportunity finally appeared.

"In this situation, Your Majesty only asks for a stable word," Niu Shengyu said: "Yufu will be old, and the Queen Mother can't always hang the curtain, Your Majesty must be patient." The top priority is to recruit talents and recruit the team. If God opens his eyes today and uses the heavenly thunder to chop the Empress Dowager Wen and Yu Fuguo to death, who is Your Majesty going to use to take charge of the Shence Army?"

"This, Cheng Qili?"

"Your Majesty can trust Cheng Qili, can Cheng Qili have the ability to suppress the arrogant soldiers of the Shence Army?"

"I don't have a candidate. ”

"It is not advisable to move lightly, if Han Linggong and Lu Xiangguo continue to reign, can Your Majesty choose someone to enter the Zhongshu Sect?"

"There are no candidates either. ”

"Only the name and the truth cannot be compared with people, the chief or assistant officer of the key departments such as the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Salt and Iron Envoys, can Your Majesty have a candidate?"

"I understand what the gentleman means. ”

"As for the key states and counties in the world, such as the northern capital Taiyuan Mansion Yin, the eastern capital Henan Mansion Yin, as well as Yangzhou, Yizhou, Xiangzhou, these big states of the assassin history, Your Majesty can have a candidate?"

The power of the emperor does not come from the illusory destiny, but from the huge ruling machine. If Li Xu wants to control the ruling machine, he must first control the various parts of the ruling machine. Niu Shengyu meant to tell Li Xu that if you want to control the world, it is not enough to kill Yu Fuguo and Empress Dowager Wen, you also need to have your own people.

The problem is not only to rush to take over, but also to think about what to do after the succession.
