The First Happy King of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 658 Helpless
A few days passed in a blink of an eye, Li Muyun was sent out of the palace on the day he woke up, and returned to his home, and the news about Quan Gai Suwen ended there.

No one knew how Li Shimin planned to deal with this guy who dared to assassinate his father, and no one dared to ask. Everyone kept silent, pretending that nothing happened.

It is not a small matter that there is an inner ghost in the palace, and it is not a trivial matter to lure a Goguryeo traitor into the palace. Although it did not really cause any major damage, the nature is extremely bad, and the impact it caused is immeasurable.

Being able to make the masters of the imperial guards submissively let outsiders do things in the palace is far beyond the ability of small people. After careful consideration, you will find that except for those princes and daughters in the palace, almost no one has such skills. energy.

Li Muyun tried to see Quan Gai Suwen, but he was scolded bloody by Li Shimin when he was still at the gate of the palace, and he didn't dare to fart, so he rolled back home with his tail between his legs and continued to recover from his injuries.

Although Su Wanqing has been 'taking care' of Li Muyun during this time, in fact she has been complaining non-stop, complaining that he was reckless and reckless, and occasionally used old punches, so that the Xiaoyao County King lived in pain and happiness for half a month.

One month after the assassination, the army from the Northwest Expedition returned, and Chang'an City finally regained a little vitality.

But when Lao Cheng and the others found out about this incident, one or two of them were all blown up. The gang of killers didn't care what kind of background was behind the assassination. In their opinion, if the Goguryeo people dare to come, they must fight back. Otherwise, what would be the face of Datang.

"Your Majesty, I can't fight. It's winter now, and Liaodong is a place of bitter cold. If our army sends troops at this time, even if we reach the border, we can only look at the city and sigh, and it will be a waste of food and grass." Seeing that the situation is one-sided, Wei Zheng is anxious. With eyes closed, the court officials urged Li Shimin desperately.

Cheng Yaojin has always played the role of the vanguard of the military. At this time, he rushed out again, pushed Wei Zheng aside and said, "Why can't we fight? It's still winter when we fight Turks."

Although Wei Zheng is a scholar, he can see the overall situation. Hearing Cheng Yaojin's words, he said sharply: "How can the Turks and Goguryeo be the same! In the same way, our army will be unable to move an inch under the fortification."

Cheng Yaojin curled his lips: "So what, my Tang soldiers care about how many ruined cities? If someone dares to stop them, they must know what it means to be reduced to dust."

"Okay, don't argue anymore." Seeing that the two sides were still arguing, Li Shimin interrupted them, and said in silence for a moment: "The conquest of Goguryeo needs to be discussed in a long-term way, so that it can be accomplished in one battle. Let's see how they explain this matter now. "

"Your Majesty, Goguryeo is defiant and has repeatedly provoked them. If you don't teach them a lesson, I'm afraid they will get worse next time." Li Daozong, a member of the royal family, stood up at this time and tried to persuade Li Shimin to send troops.

But Li Shimin didn't want to continue this topic, he waved his hand and said: "There is no need to talk about this matter again! I have my own plan."

Now everyone didn't have to fight anymore, the main battle and the main and the two factions glared at each other and retreated.

On the contrary, Lu Zushang felt unwilling and went out to play: "Your Majesty, the Goguryeo Assassins were all initiated by King Xiaoyao. I hope His Majesty will punish them severely."

Although the murderer who wiped out the whole family of Zheng's family has been found, Li Muyun's curse has not been eradicated. Naturally, several big families will not give up, and they are gearing up to continue, and will not let him go until they are completely killed.

How could Li Shimin not know the family's plan, but it is too difficult to find someone who dares to fight against the family these days, so being killed by the family, wouldn't it increase the ambition of the family and destroy the prestige of the humble family.

Therefore, Li Erli ignored Lao Lu who was standing below, and got up and left in a huff. Behind him came the shrill voice of the deacon and eunuch: "Retire!"

……

In Da'an Palace, Li Muyun was lying beside old Li Yuan like a zombie: "Father, you have been troubled this time."

Li Yuan glanced sideways at Li Muyun, who was like a zongzi wrapped by himself, and said angrily: "You don't do this kind of thing, is there something wrong?"

Li Muyun touched his nose dumbfounded, and said awkwardly: "Father, I just came to see, in case you have some psychological shadow."

The older a person is, the more he cares about face, and Li Yuan is no exception. Li Muyun immediately said: "I have a fart psychological shadow. I think there were countless assassinations like this back then. Do you think I care?"

Li Muyun saw that the little old man's words became more and more out of line, he surrendered and said: "Yes, yes, your prestige is the same as before, and you will grow stronger when you grow old."

Li Yuan waved his hands, apparently not wanting to continue talking, leaned on the back of the chair, stared at Li Muyun and said, "Okay, don't talk about those useless things, let's talk about your business."

Li Muyun asked blankly, "What's the matter with me?"

Li Yuandao: "About the matter with the aristocratic family, you don't really plan to fight them to the end, do you?"

"Hehe..." Hearing old Li Yuan talk about the aristocratic family again, Li Muyun smiled bitterly and said, "Father, do you think I have a choice?"

Li Yuan said: "Why can't you choose, and no one is forcing you to fight with the family."

Li Muyun clicked his tongue, lowered his head and thought for a while and said, "Father, actually speaking, I don't want to be an enemy of the family. I also know that the reason why the family has been passed down for thousands of years must be extraordinary, but you also know that sometimes Things don't change according to people's will, even if I don't want to be an enemy of the family, can the family tolerate me?"

Li Yuan curled his lips: "Excuse me, I know you just don't like those companies, so I deliberately tormented them."

"I said dear father, you think highly of me too." Li Muyun said with a wry smile silently: "Actually, it was not my intention to fight with the aristocratic family. In fact, everyone's life is not so easy these days, and I can understand them, but The current situation is that they have stretched their hands too far, to the point where they have taken away other people's jobs."

Old Li Yuan didn't speak, he knew that Li Muyun was telling the truth, those aristocratic families sometimes stretched their hands too far.

But there is no way around it. The family will always expand when it develops to a certain extent, which is easy to understand.

At the beginning, there may be a dozen people in a family. At this time, only one county seat may be enough for them to toss.

And when the number of the family reaches dozens of people, the county seat is not enough to toss at this time. If you don't expand outward, you can only have internal friction in the family, and if you don't want internal friction, you can only expand.

But there are limits to expansion. Your family needs to expand, and other people’s families also need to expand. Once you come and go, conflicts will arise. This is the general trend. Even if you don’t want this to happen subjectively, there is no way to stop it.

This is just like playing online games. You build a family or team. When there are only a few people, it is enough to swipe the mini-map. The equipment you play is enough for everyone to share.

Later, when the number of your family has increased to dozens of people, the equipment on the small map is not enough. At this time, you have to go to other maps or other dungeons to farm more equipment to win people's hearts, otherwise the family will be destroyed. scattered.

But when you rush out of the small map and come to the outside world, you will find that there are actually more families like you facing the same problem, so conflicts arise.

And as the conflict becomes more intense, alliances will appear, and several larger families will join forces to rule a large area, and then continue to expand and continue to conflict.

The current situation in the Tang Dynasty is like this. After thousands of years of development, the five surnames and seven wangs have grown to an incalculable number, and when there are too many people, they need to be taken care of. At this time, the family needs power and money.

With power, you can provide better development opportunities for the tribe, and with money, you can gather people's hearts, and then make the family stronger.

So in some respects, whether it is the Zheng family, the Lu family or other aristocratic families, there is nothing wrong with them. Whether they are overbearing or crazy, in fact, it is for their own people to live a better life.

Li Muyun has already seen through a little bit, he knows that this kind of thing is not a matter of giving in or not giving in, the situation is so forced that there is no room for you not to fight, because if you don't fight, you can only wait to be squeezed out.

After all, there are only so many resources in this world, whether it is power resources or material resources.

Yang Jian, Yang Guang, Li Yuan, Li Shimin, Wu Zetian and other emperors actually didn't want to fight among themselves, but they couldn't do without fighting. With the development of the aristocratic family, they occupied a lot of positions in the officialdom, and they were even able to confront the imperial power in many cases.

Such a situation cannot be tolerated by any emperor, so Yang Jian established the imperial examination system, trying to select more children from poor families from the people to occupy the positions of officials, so as to prevent the officialdom from being completely occupied by aristocratic families.

As for how far-reaching the children of poor families are, and whether they can be herdsmen for themselves, these are actually things that come after power struggles.

After all, Li Muyun is a person from the 21st century. Although he has poor historical knowledge, he also knows that the good times of the aristocratic family will soon come to an end, so he will not follow them. Firstly, there is no future. Secondly, It is also easy to be regarded as a pawn.

Of course, even if he seeks refuge with Li Er, he still cannot escape the fate of being treated as a pawn, but whoever owns the pawn will be assigned. The pawn in Nie Weiping's hands will undoubtedly have a higher chance of survival than the pawn in the stinky chess basket. All fools know it.

As the former emperor, Li Yuan also saw clearly the tricks in it, and seeing that Li Muyun seemed to have made up his mind, he stopped trying to persuade him, and changed the subject and said: "Since you have already made up your mind, then I will I won’t persuade you anymore. But you kid promised to get me a big villa at the beginning, you won’t forget about this, right?”
