Datang: Get a god-level selection system at the beginning

The conversation between Li Wenbin and Wei Zheng was frank and constructive, and the results were very good.

With Li Wenbin's guarantee, Wei Zheng dispelled his original concerns.

What Li Wenbin meant was, Mr. Wei, if you are worried that I will change in the future and become a tyrant, why don't you stay in the court and become an admonisher who can always give opinions?

When something happens, you want to tell your old man to return home, and when something happens, you hide. This is not your style, Mr. Wei Zhengwei!

Wei Zheng heard the same thing, so he made an agreement with Li Wenbin that in the future, he would be the mirror of the Tang emperor, so that the emperor could see his own gains and losses through him.

Li Wenbin was very satisfied with the result, and he didn't want Wei Zheng to be slaughtered after death like in history.

Although this famous official through the ages was not as perfect as it was said in history, and many of his remonstrances were for the benefit of the Shandong gentry, but no matter what, it guaranteed the political clarity of the Zhenguan period to a certain extent.

It doesn't matter what you think, as long as he can put forward correct opinions, you don't have to worry about it so much, let's make the best use of it.

Li Wenbin and Wei Zheng marched while discussing, and after more than ten days, they arrived at Li Tang's Longxing Land, Taiyuan.

When Li Yuan was staying behind in Taiyuan, he recruited soldiers to revolt here, and then seized the world, so Taiyuan has a high status in Datang.

At the same time, the Taiyuan Wang family, which has taken root in Taiyuan for hundreds of years, is also extremely powerful. It can be regarded as the most powerful family of the five surnames and seven families, except the Li family.

But at this time, this family that has lasted for hundreds of years has also come to an end.

Li Daozong stayed behind in Taiyuan when he heard that Li Wenbin had led his army to arrive, and he had already met him ten miles outside the city of Taiyuan.

"Li Daozong stayed in Taiyuan, and met the Chief of the Hebei Road Marching Army, His Royal Highness King Qin."
Li Daozong's posture was very low, and he had no airs of being an elder or saving Li Shimin. Naturally, Li Wenbin didn't dare to push him too far, and was very polite to him.

"You are Wen Bin's elder, you must not be like this."
Helping Li Daozong up, Li Wenbin saluted and said: "Just now, it was the court's law, and Wenbin can only accept this gift from you. Now please accept my nephew's worship!"
Li Daozong quickly stopped him: "His Royal Highness King Qin, don't let me down, I dare not accept such a great gift from His Royal Highness."
The two chatted for a while and got very close. Li Wenbin asked: "Uncle Wang is stationed here, how is the Taiyuan Wang family doing?"
"Hmph, relying on their own family background, the Wang family didn't pay attention to the government and me, who was left behind in Taiyuan. Moreover, they also recruited the rest of the Li clan and gave them a lot of benefits."
"I know that His Highness is here to deal with the Wang family, but you have to be careful with those old people in the family. If you are not careful, you will be blamed by thousands of people."
Thousands of people point at it, but die without illness.In this ancient society where the patriarchal clan was greater than the sky, if he was accused by the elders of the clan, even Li Shimin and his eldest grandson would not be able to protect Li Wenbin.

Although these old people don't have any high-ranking officials and rich salary, at most they can be named the founding baron viscount or something, but they are members of the Li clan who followed Li Yuan to conquer the world.

If Li Wenbin dared to touch them, he would probably be accused by the world.

These old people were of high seniority, and almost all of them were of the same generation as Li Yuan, that is, Li Wenbin's grandfather's generation. In front of them, the official positions of the King of Qin and the chief commander of the army were not easy to use.

However, Li Wenbin had also considered this matter long ago. For his own safety, the Wang family of Taiyuan had often wooed court officials before.

These Li clan members in Taiyuan are naturally the most important thing for them to win over. Li Shimin once complained to Li Wenbin, saying that these old men are all short-sighted, and they can get involved with the powerful for a little profit.

And before Li Wenbin came to Taiyuan, Li Shimin also specially instructed that no extreme methods should be used to treat these Li clan members, otherwise, when he returned to Chang'an, his eldest grandson would never spare him.

After Li Wenbin received the secret decree, he used his brains to think of a way. In his opinion, these elders in the clan are actually easy to deal with.

They only wanted to keep the Wang family safe and sound because of their immediate interests, so wouldn't it be enough to give these people greater benefits?

Anyway, they are all members of the Li family, and the meat is rotten in the pot. At worst, I can find some excuses to bring it back later.

After making up his mind, Li Wenbin and Li Daozong came to Taiyuan Liushou Mansion and stayed there.

This time, he didn't act right away as soon as he got here, but had to find a suitable time.

Sure enough, only a day later, someone from the Li clan came to the door.

The one who came was an old man in his 70s, the elder of the Li clan, even Li Yuan would call him uncle when he saw him.

The old man was sitting on the chair, looking at Li Wenbin from the corner of his eye: "Are you that incompetent kid from Li Yuan Erlang's family?"
"It's the younger generation."
Li Wenbin replied respectfully—it’s okay to be disrespectful, this old man can almost be blown down by a gust of wind, and if something good or bad happens, he can’t bear any responsibility.

"Old man, I heard that you have been tossing a lot these past few years and wiped out all the barbarians on the grassland?"
"It's not worth mentioning. It's the father who commanded it well. The kid doesn't have any credit!"
Li Wenbin was being modest, but the old man immediately became unhappy: "Hmph, you also know that you don't have much credit, so why bother?"
"I heard that your mother is just a maidservant of Erlang's family, and you are just an adulterer, but you are so flamboyant. In your eyes, do you still have the distinction between the eldest and the younger?"
"Hmph, that kid Erlang looks smart, why is he so confused, he actually made you the crown prince! Doesn't he know that he should make the eldest son?"
"There is an eldest son who does not establish a son, but establishes an adulterous son, muddled, muddled!"
Li Daozong listened to the old man's chatter, and saw Li Wenbin's eyebrows gradually raised, knowing in his heart that he would suffer.

No one can bear his biological mother being slandered like this, even if that person is an elder in the family.

Although he had never met his biological mother, Li Wenbin didn't want to hear someone say that.

"You are a senior of the Li family, so it stands to reason that the boy shouldn't say anything. It's just that the father has already given the title of my mother, and the boy is not an adulterer."
"This is what the father announced to the world, don't you know?"
"So what if you know, even if you chase after that lowly maidservant, you will be Erlang's eldest son? Hmph, that means the old man is not here, otherwise Erlang would definitely not be allowed to do such absurd things!"
No wonder Li Shimin didn't return to Taiyuan once in several years. With these old things around, who wants to come back and listen to their nagging?
Li Daozong was a little worried, for fear that Li Wenbin would lose his temper.
