Great Tang Southern Emperor

If it is said that Li Zhen killed a little bit, that's all. All those ancient sages were killed from blood and fire, not to mention that Confucianism is not the kind of saintly benevolence of Mohism. Although they can't understand war, as long as it is not too much, Confucianism doesn't say anything either.

The problem is that Li Zhen is a Taoist disciple (Zhenyuan Daxian has been listed as one of the ancestral gods by Taoism, and his status is second only to Sanqing. Li Zhen has his inheritance, so he is naturally listed as a Taoist disciple), and he does not practice Confucianism. The art of craftsmanship, good at tricks and tricks (I have always wondered why Confucians don’t like Baigong so much? Don’t they just wear clothes and live in a house?), What’s more, he actually opened Wentian Bookstore by himself, cultivated talent...

This is tantamount to cutting off the future of Confucian disciples...

No matter how you look at it, it is impossible for Li Zhen to reuse Confucianism after ascending to the throne, which makes Confucianists very uncomfortable.

There are quite a few people in the court who have the same thoughts as him, such as Yu Zhining, Kong Yingda, Yan Zhen (Yan Shigu, a descendant of Yan Hui, whose father is Yan Zhitui) and so on.Especially Kong Yingda, as the representative of the Kong family in Qufu today, and Li Zhen’s teacher (Li Zhen has studied with many great sages in the past ten years, Kong Yingda is one of them), unexpectedly taught an emperor who rejects Confucianism, He is ashamed of his ancestors. How can he meet his ancestors when he goes underground?

"The minister seconded the proposal, and the minister also feels that this matter is very inappropriate." The second person to stand up was Xiao Yu, but no one was surprised that this old guy stood up.

Because Xiao Yu himself had a grudge against Li Zhen, and the original governor of the Dengzhou Fleet was his son Xiao Rui, but Xiao Rui had been in the Dengzhou Fleet for so many years, and it was nothing more than an inch of merit, and it was all because of lax control. , leading to frequent arms smuggling in the army, and later even led troops into the city without authorization, but was seized by Li Zhen, and participated in a memorial, and now he is still at home. If Li Zhen becomes the emperor again, it is estimated that I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to recover in the future.

Chapter 356 Is the title name important?

1 Is the title of chapter [-] important?

"Yes, Your Majesty, how honorable General Tiance is, I'm afraid..." The third person who stood up was Tang Jian, who unexpectedly stood up.

Tang Jian is also one of the 24 heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, and he made great contributions in the battle against the Turks in the Tang Dynasty. If he hadn't volunteered to be an envoy to the Turks and held Xieli back with lies, he might not have waited for the arrival of the Tang army. Xieli had already fled away.As for Li Zhen, who also participated in the war against the Turks, he met Tang Jian. It can be said that the relationship between the two parties is not bad. Against Li Shimin's opinion - this is making trouble for Li Zhen.

But if you think about it carefully, you will understand that Tang Jian does have something to do with Li Zhen, but in fact he is from the aristocratic family - his wife is a woman from the Zheng family in Xingyang.

And unlike Cheng Yaojin, although he married a daughter of an aristocratic family, he actually created everything he has now, but Tang Jian is different. He really relied on the Zheng family to get what he is today. Spokesperson in...

The relationship between Li Zhen and the aristocratic family is well known, except for a limited number of people, most of the aristocratic family hate Li Zhen—or fear it.

As for why he was afraid of Li Zhen?

In addition to the reason that Li Zhen is Li Shimin's son, there is also the reason of papermaking and printing, but the bigger reason is still in the Wentian Bookstore.

Why can the aristocratic family survive for thousands of years and manipulate the government?

The first reason is that they monopolize knowledge, while poor students have nowhere to study. Without books, they naturally cannot become talents. If the ruler wants to select talents, he can only choose from aristocratic families, so the aristocratic families can control the government— —The state affairs are all controlled by the aristocratic family, so of course they will not decline.

However, the papermaking and printing techniques presented by Li Zhen fundamentally broke through their monopoly on knowledge. The emergence of papermaking technology made books more convenient to carry, and the emergence of movable type printing even lowered the price of books to the poor. acceptable level.With the huge base of poor families, even if the success rate is only one-tenth of that of the aristocratic family, the number is enough to break the monopoly of the aristocratic family on the court.

If papermaking and printing only broke the aristocratic family's monopoly on knowledge, then asking Tian Shuyuan was tantamount to Li Zhen blatantly telling the aristocratic family that your end has come.

I will cultivate talents by myself, so please bid farewell to me. I have no intention of using the talents of the aristocratic family for the time being. The aristocratic family is not qualified to participate in the government. I want to see how long you can last...

This is digging their graves in front of the aristocratic family.

With the family's selfish character, how could they be willing to sit and wait for death?

It's a pity that Li Zhen's timing was too good. At this time, the Tang Dynasty was at its peak. Both military and financial resources had reached the strongest.Even the blood alliance would not dare to risk the world and choose to rebel at this time, ruining the good reputation he has accumulated for hundreds of years-you know, the reason why Li Shimin didn't attack the family immediately was because he was afraid of the blood alliance, More because there is no reason.The aristocratic family's reputation is so good that even Li Shimin dare not punish him without teaching, so he can only slowly reduce the aristocratic family's sense of existence.

But in the same way, it is precisely because of the great reputation that the family did not dare to rebel when the fortune of the Tang Dynasty was at its peak, otherwise it would definitely be declared ruined - so they knew Li Shimin's little tricks, but they could only hide , When Datang is weak, rise up again, and overthrow Datang with righteousness.

Originally, Li Chengqian was a good choice. With his ability, and a few courtiers were arranged to fool around, it would not be difficult to bring down Datang.It's a pity that Li Chengqian killed himself and was abolished as the prince. The prince's position is vacant. Originally, the family planned to support Li Tai because Li Tai was easier to control.But at this juncture, Li Shimin actually chose Li Zhen, and Li Zhen's ability is no less than Li Shimin's. If Li Zhen really ascended to the throne, in his hands, Datang may even be even more brilliant than in Li Shimin's hands ...

In other words, the aristocratic family will have to wait for another few decades, and under Li Zhen's suppression, after decades, whether anyone will know the existence of the aristocratic family is a problem...

Anyway...

Li Zhen can never ascend to the throne...

Not even the Crown Prince...

But if he retorts, does Tang Jian have any reason...

It so happened that Yu Shinan and Xiao Yu appeared at this time...

In line with the intention of doing his best to obey the destiny, Tang Jian expressed his opinion...

Now he only hopes that those present who have opinions on Li Zhen will also stand up and agree...

For example, Changsun Wuji, didn't you always want your sister's son to be the emperor...

Li Shimin naturally knew what these people were thinking, and squinted: "What? Don't you think Zhen'er can't be the general of Tiance? Or do any of you think that some people will not be convinced?"

"This..." Tang Jian was stunned. Of course he would not say that he was not convinced. If he was really not convinced, he would have opposed it a long time ago. Why did he use Yu Shinan's words to express his opinion secretly?

It's just that if Li Zhen is really allowed to be the chief strategist, then his status as the crown prince will be unshakable. This is not what Li Zhen's enemies would like to see, but now that he is alone, Tang Jian can only look at him for help. look at others.

The first is Kong Yingda, but it's a pity that Kong Yingda has been closing his eyes and resting his mind, and has no intention of expressing any opinions at all. Although the old man is impatient, he understands in his heart that the meaning of disobeying Li Shimin at this time is simply looking for death. Li Shimin persuaded him to come back, but he was unlucky instead, which would be fun.

This made Tang Jian very angry. You old bastard, Lao Tzu expresses his opinion and is helping you Confucianism. Could it be that Li Zhen can give preferential treatment to your Confucianism when he succeeds to the throne?But I am in trouble now, but you are watching from the other side, what do you mean?Do you really want to sit and watch Li Zhen ascend the throne and your Confucianism decline?

Unwilling to be reconciled, Tang Jian turned his attention to another person, the eldest grandson Wuji of the uncle of the country.It's a pity that Changsun Wuji also closed his eyes and rested his mind, and didn't mean to speak.

Tang Jian hated it even more, didn't you always want your sister's son to succeed?Li Chengqian was abolished, but wouldn't there still be Li Tai and Li Zhi?As an uncle, if you don't help, do you think they can beat Li Zhen on their own?Or if Li Zhen succeeds to the throne, will it be of any benefit to your eldest grandson's family?

Then came Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu wanted to stand up and speak for him, but was secretly held back by Changsun Wuji. Neng gave Tang Jian an expression of helplessness.

Tang Jian was furious...

Chapter 357 Removing Tang Jian

Chapter 131 Removing Tang Jian

In the end, Tang Jian looked at Yu Shinan who was the first to speak out, but Yu Shinan, who made his lungs explode, fell into a state of closing his eyes and resting his mind at this time, as if the person who expressed his objection just now was not him at all.

Bastard, if Tang Jian doesn't understand that he has been bullied at this time, then he will have lived in vain for so many years.As the saying goes, shoot a bird with a head, and I thought Yu Shinan was the one with a head. Who would have thought that Yu Shinan quickly retracted his head after showing his head once, but he was the stupid bird who ran away in a daze. Come out and be the first bird.As the first bird, there is no doubt that it can be used as the chicken in "Killing the Chicken and the Monkey".

Thinking of this, Tang Jian hated him even more. If he was unhappy with Li Zhen and annoyed with Kong Yingda and Changsun Wuji, then he had pure hatred for Yu Shinan.I gave Yu Shinan a deadly stare, this time I admit it, but you'd better pray that you don't fall into my hands in the future, otherwise I will let you eat ashes and walk around.

Li Shimin naturally noticed Tang Jian's small gestures. Seeing his expression of hatred, he immediately asked, "What? Tang Aiqing, do you have anything else to say?"

"I... I still feel that it's a little... a bit abrupt to designate His Royal Highness the King of Yue as Tiance General." At this time, Tang Jian could only bite the bullet and insist on his own opinion: "After all, King Yue has made great achievements, but God Admiral Ce is not an ordinary position, and must be announced to the world. However, His Royal Highness King Yue is not in Chang'an after all, and now he is surrounded by enemies. It may be fine for a short time, but if it takes a long time... If we give King Yue His Highness seals it, in case something happens to His Highness..."

"Presumptuous." Li Shimin was furious: "What do you mean Tang Mao asked you? Are you cursing Zhen'er? Or in your thinking, Zhen'er is already doomed, and the plan given by the general is for nothing? "

Li Shimin was really angry this time, and he didn't even call Tang Jian Aiqing, but directly called him by his name: "Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking? I'm afraid in your hearts, Zhen'er is doomed this time." Right? But what I want to tell you is that this Tiance Admiral has been appointed by me. Not only will I give it, but I will give it with great fanfare. I want the whole world to know the achievements of Zhen Er. I want to see , given Zhen Er's merits, who dares to say that he is half dissatisfied?"

Then he gave Tang Jian a sideways glance: "As for you... I know what you think, isn't it because Zhen'er and you guys can't agree with each other, so I can't see Zhen'er getting benefits, so I tried every means to stop it?"

"Your Majesty, I have been wronged, I have no such thoughts..." Unexpectedly, Li Shimin blatantly said such a thing, Tang Jian's complexion suddenly turned pale, and he knelt down and complained that he was wronged.

It's just that Li Shimin was in a fit of anger at this time, so he wouldn't listen to Tang Jian's pale excuse, and interrupted directly: "Stop talking, I see that your complexion is so pale, it may be because of poor health, you go back and rest for a while, wait After recuperating your body, as for your position, I will temporarily replace it with your deputy, so you don't have to worry about it, go back and recuperate."

I am also very disappointed with Tang Jian in my heart. It is you who want to block my order, so you have to find a better excuse, okay?Where did your good eloquence and quick wit go when you were deeply trapped in Turks and held back Xieli?Could it be that the rich life of officials these years has made you completely lost?

"Your Majesty..." Tang Jian was terrified, why didn't he know what Li Shimin meant?He said he was going home to recuperate, but in fact he was dismissed, and I am afraid that there will be no chance of recovery in the future.

"Okay, I know what you want to say, but don't worry, your deputy has also observed, and his ability is not inferior to yours. With him around, you don't have to worry too much." Li Zhen blocked it directly. He said: "Go back and recuperate well. I will use it again when you recover from your illness. I see that you are not seriously ill now. If Aiqing is allowed to work while sick, it will not only be harmful to your health, but also outsiders will say It's not my fault, if something bad happens, I won't let people who don't know it scold me to death?"

"Chen...understand...Chen...I'll go back to treat my illness...take good care of my body..." Tang Jian knew that Li Shimin was giving himself an ultimatum. Retired due to illness——I have been an official for so many years, and my ass is not very clean...
