The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2182 Teaching
Li Jue was taken aback when he heard the words, and then he reacted.

Father is teaching him.

Li Jue looked at his father seriously, listened to his father seriously, and silently remembered these words in his heart.

Seeing that the father and son were talking happily, Empress Su found an excuse and left the palace temporarily.

"Father did you deliberately let Lai Junchen and General Dou Yan quarrel in the court?" Li Jue asked puzzled.

Li Chengqian nodded and smiled, "Exactly, Jue'er, do you know where our Li family is from?"

"My son knows."

"Our Li family has been a famous family in Longxi since the Han Dynasty." Li Chengqian said: "However, there are so many famous families in Longxi. It can be said that even at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the power of the famous Longxi family was stronger than that of our Li family. There are also many, but they didn't grasp the opportunity. Emperor Gaozu raised troops from Jinyang, seized the world, raised the flag of righteousness, and took over the Zen throne of Emperor Gong of the former Sui Dynasty. The Li family won the world. It is undeniable that during the reign of Wude, most of the court forces were still in the hands of these people, even most of them were in the reign of Zhenguan."

"So, Father is weakening their rights in the court, taking back all their rights."

"That's right." Li Chengqian said: "So, it doesn't matter if there is a lot of noise in the hall. What matters is what the emperor thinks, how he decides, who can use it and who can't, who has more power and who has less power."

Li Jue was silent and thought for a long time before asking.

"Father, what if one day the teacher becomes the ruler in the court?" Li Jue asked.

"Duke Qi?" Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes, Li Jue's question really hit a point.

From the current point of view, Xuan Shijing does not have any rights in his hands, but his status is respected. If one day, after his great success, the crown prince succeeds, then Xuan Shijing will be a veteran of the three dynasties. In the court, he is highly respected, coupled with his status, I am afraid that no one can restrain him.

And it's not just himself, are there fewer people around Xuan Shijing?Look at today's court officials.

Di Renjie is his protégé, the official residence of the Minister of Dali Temple, and Pei Xingjian is his half protégé, who leads the army and holds an important position. Xue Rengui, the general guarding Xiongjin Dao, was also recommended by Xuan Shijing. The relationship between the two is also extraordinary. , In addition, there are the Cheng family, the Qin family, and even the Li family of Hejian County King.

Not to mention the students who came out of Zhuangzi decades later.
Li Chengqian's expression gradually became serious.

"Father?" Li Jue saw that his father had not spoken for a long time, and his own heartbeat continued to speed up.

"There won't be such a day. Even if there is, it's not impossible to solve." Li Chengqian said with a cold face: "Qi Guogong... I haven't fully understood him so far. He doesn't seem to be greedy for power, so you can rest assured Some, in addition, if you really reach this point, you can decide his life or death."

"Yes." Although Li Jue was shocked, he still responded.

Is this the emperor's mind?

When everyone looks at the three to five years before them, the emperor must set his sights ten or even decades later, starting from the present, and laying out the situation step by step.

Even people who grew up together and have a close relationship, even their own teachers, can give up for the sake of Jiangshan.

It is not necessarily a bad person to be an emperor, but a good person must not be an emperor.

In the early morning of the next day, Hanyuan Hall.

"Your Majesty, all kinds of evidence have been presented, and the Dou family is inseparable, and I hope Your Majesty will make a decision!" Lai Junchen said, cupping his hands.

Li Chengqian looked at the notebook in his hand.

Lai Junchen's method is to use more and more, and the more he uses it, the more ruthless he is. Many things have been created out of nothing, and then become reality, buying the market rogues, and biting Dou's family.

But the Dou family didn't send people to deal with those rascals in private.

Do you want to prove your innocence in this way?

"Your Majesty!" Lai Junchen called again with a firm voice.

"Dou Yan, is there anything else you want to say?" Li Chengqian looked up at Dou Yan and asked.

Now that things have happened, Dou Yan seems to accept his fate. If he only loses the position of General Zuo Wuhou, he accepts it. Doesn't His Majesty just want to take back this seat and the power he only holds in his hands?

Give it to him, just keep the Dou family safe, and besides, the young people of the Dou family are not without prospects, they will always have a chance, even if they don't become the general, the Dou family will not fall.

"Your Majesty, I have nothing to say." Dou Yan cupped his hands and said, "This is a matter for the minister alone to decide. Your Majesty, please punish him according to the law."

"If that's the case, by imperial order, Dou Yan, the great general of Zuo Wuhou, will be removed from his official position and relegated to Shangshu Youcheng, General Zhuangwu, hereby. Retire." Li Chengqian said.

Originally, Dou Yan was a military officer holding the military power, but now he has become Shangshu Youcheng, a civil official, and the military position is a loose official general. It can be said that after this time, the power in Dou Yan's hands has been severely cut Go for a chunk.

"My lord, thank Your Majesty for your grace." Dou Yan knelt in the hall and kowtowed to thank you.

The person who polluted the bank last year was already dead. This year, it was just to cut off Dou Yan's official position. His Majesty's purpose is already obvious, that is to protect the people, but to take power.

Lai Junchen was promoted again, changed from a servant to the censor, and became a servant of the imperial court, ranked among the nine ministers, and officially entered the power field of the Tang Dynasty.

Some people are happy and some are worried. After retiring from the court, Lai Junchen happily returned to his house. After this time, his reputation in Chang'an City will definitely be raised to a higher level. money?

It will also be the same as when I finished the Zheng family case last time, the door of the house is full of people.

Lai Junchen was happy, but Dou's family was not.

After this incident, Dou's family in Chang'an City, in Datang's power field, must be a lot shorter.

As Xuan Shijing predicted, it is not that Lai Junchen can shake the Dou family, but that His Majesty wants to shake the Dou family and take the power into his own hands.

"Husband, have you heard about Chang'an City?" Jin Yang took the snacks to Xuan Shijing's study, and when he put down the snacks, he looked at Xuan Shijing.

"En." Xuan Shijing nodded: "As expected, the Dou family lost, not at the hands of Lai Junchen, but at the hands of His Majesty. Now that His Majesty has confidence in his heart, he must take action. The Dou family, It’s just the first of them.”

The failure of the Dou family was the beginning of Li Chengqian's success.
