Datang: I am the prince of salted fish, I impeach Li Er at the beginning

Chapter 10 Imperial power and family, two major groups standing side by side in the world
"It's... the royal father."

Li Zhi reluctantly accepted the emperor's order.

no way.

If you think about it, you know that no one will rest assured that a 16-year-old child will go out with the army.

No matter how monstrous the performance is, it's impossible!

If he came from a general family, that would be okay.

Inheriting the family tradition and joining the military early to start training can be regarded as living up to the ancestral family legacy.

But the problem is that Li Zhi is a prince, and he is also one of the successors who has just shown his talent as a monster and is valued by Li Shimin.

If something goes wrong during the expedition, who will be responsible?

What's more, the gift of innate supernatural power is still a hidden pain in the old Li family.

With the lessons learned by Li Yuanba, it would be strange if Li Shimin dared to let Li Zhi out to show off his power.

If he accidentally repeats Li Yuanba's mistakes, it will be too late to cry.

Li Zhi's reluctance was seen by many people.

If you want to have trouble with him, you can stand up and make a fuss about it now.

But by this time, Xiao Yu, who had a red-faced quarrel with Li Zhi earlier, had long forgotten the quarrel.

After being bullied by Li Zhi twice in a row, how could he have the nerve to continue to make things difficult for Li Zhi?

Being slapped in the face twice is not enough, you want to be slapped a third time?
Xiao Yu only hoped that Li Zhi would not bear any grudges against him, and just get over the unhappiness just now.

And Li Zhi did exactly what he hoped, and ignored him.

This is not to say that Li Zhi is so generous that the prime minister can pull a boat in his stomach.

It's just that he has just created a majestic and upright image. At this time, he will be careless, and it will appear to be out of style.

Tricking Xiao Yu twice, can be regarded as giving myself a breath of anger, so there is no need to continue pestering her.

It's not time to clean up the big family yet, and going tit-for-tat with Xiao Yu at this moment will only disrupt his plan.

It's better to show more performance in front of Li Shimin first, and win some capital for yourself.

The words he said to let Li Chengqian abdicate voluntarily were not empty words.

Li Zhi really planned to do this!

In this way, the matter of obtaining the position of prince will increase a lot of difficulty.

But this is also the result he hopes to see!

Even with the system, if it doesn't increase the difficulty, then it would be too boring to have your own political career.

While Li Zhi was thinking wildly, Li Shimin dismissed the courtiers.

Only Li Zhi, Li Chengqian, Li Tai and Changsun Wuji were left in the imperial study.

After everyone left, Li Shimin brought up the previous topic again.

"Okay, now that the outsiders have left, Xiao Jiu, tell me what you think about the other two things."

Two other things?
Are you talking about aristocratic families and people's livelihood issues?

Li Zhi frowned, he didn't want to mention it now.

"Father, this matter is not easy to solve. Are you sure you really have the determination and perseverance to completely eradicate this stubborn disease?"

"To eradicate completely?" Li Shimin was startled suddenly, squinting his eyes and said: "Isn't it the power to suppress the aristocratic family? How did it become completely eradicated?"

"This is where the problem lies!" Li Zhi replied naturally: "If you want to beat them, beat them to death with a stick, don't give them a chance to make a comeback, or don't provoke them!"

After finishing speaking, Li Zhi saw that his father hadn't understood what he meant, so he had no choice but to express what he wanted to say in a more understandable way.

"Our old Li family was also a member of the noble family group. I think you, father, have a deeper understanding of the wealthy family than anyone else!"

"The gentry group controls the lifeline of the imperial court with their hands, and has always been unscrupulous and rampant!"

"Once someone dares to threaten their power, even if they want to set off a rebellion and make the people of the world miserable, they will still choose to fight to the end!"

"The end of the Eastern Han Dynasty is a good example. The scourge of the party caused the relationship between the imperial power and the gentry to become extremely tense!"

"At this time, the Taiping Sect, who is the Taoist side, joined in, and the whole world fell into complete chaos in a very short period of time!"

"The noble group does not care about the rise and fall of the world. As long as someone dares to touch their cake, they will repeat this process."

This was said simply enough, and Li Shimin instantly understood what Li Zhi wanted to express.

Although Li Zhiju was an example at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there is actually a more vivid example before us.

That is the end of the Sui Dynasty!
The Sui Dynasty fell because of the struggle between the imperial power and the gentry.

And the Li family also took advantage of this opportunity to successfully usurp the world.

Now, if Li Shimin wants to deal with the aristocratic family, his situation will be the same as that of Yang Guang.

If you really want to suppress it, it will easily shake the foundation of Datang.

This is not what he wants to see.

Li Shimin frowned and pondered for a long time, then sighed helplessly: "Could it be that... I really have nothing to do against the Cui family?"

"Not at all."

Li Zhi frowned and shook his head slowly.

"Oh?"

Hearing what Li Zhi said, Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and he looked at him questioningly.

"Tell me, is there any way to get revenge?"

"The Cui family of Qinghe is really going too far. If this bad breath doesn't come out, I won't be able to understand my thoughts!"

Earlier, Li Shimin proposed a marriage with the Cui family, hoping to marry his favorite Princess Jinyang.

The Qinghe Cui family has risen since the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty and has been glorious for nearly 800 years.

It can be said that the Cui family is the number one wealthy family in the current aristocratic family, and it is not an exaggeration.

Princess Jinyang is mainly able to marry in, not to mention Princess Jinyang, even Li Shimin himself has a good face.

His favorite princess married into the most powerful family in the world. This honor was fully worthy of his love for Princess Jinyang.

But the problem is that this matter is dirty.

Not only was it yellow, the Cui family also specially sent someone over to humiliate Li Shimin.

The words are very euphemistic, but the words in and out can be summed up in five words: Your Li family is not worthy!
Li Shimin couldn't bear it, he was so angry that he couldn't sleep well for three days and three nights.

Yes!
Your Cui family is noble!

Inherited for more than 800 years, instead of showing signs of decline, it has become more and more prosperous.

But my imperial family is no worse than your Cui family, right?
Li Shimin didn't say that he was married, but he just married him as an equal.

But Cui Shi was lucky, she pushed her nose and face, refused and refused, and humiliated him.

How could Li Shimin swallow this breath?

With the ethos of the early Tang Dynasty and the common values ​​of the world, family glory will still be valued more.

This has also led to the fact that even the royal family is inferior to the famous families that have been passed down for hundreds of years in terms of reputation.

Even Li Shimin himself admitted the status of the Cui family, and believed that the Cui family was indeed slightly more noble than the royal family.

After all, it has only been less than 30 years since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, and it is indeed not as good as a big family that has been passed down for more than 800 years.

But Ms. Cui said that the Li family was not worthy of marrying them, so that was another matter.
