Man Tanghong

Chapter 434
Xue Wanshu froze for a moment, suppressed the smile on his face, nodded thoughtfully and said, "Your Highness is not unreasonable to worry, people from such aristocratic families are indeed difficult to deal with if they are wolves.

The ministers should really try and test to see if he is cheating. "

Speaking of this, Xue Wanshu laughed again and said: "But even if he is cheating, we don't have to worry too much, right? We can use him first, and then get rid of him when we are almost used."

When he mentioned "get rid of it and make it fast", Xue Wanshu didn't have any strange expression on his face, as if in his eyes, the direct descendant who rebelled from the Li family in Zhaozhou was not an individual, but a person who could be used, used It's like a tool that can be thrown away at any time.

On this issue, not only Xue Wanshu viewed it this way, but also most of the dignitaries in Datang.

In their view, anyone who can be used by them is a tool in their hands.

It can be used at any time, discarded at any time, and can be killed at any time and then quickly.

But there is a difference between a tool and a tool.

Some tools can be handled by you, and can be handled by you for a lifetime.

Some tools will bite back at the owner, and it is very likely that when you are not paying attention, you will turn over and stand up, become the person who holds the tool like you, and even ride on your head, using you as a tool.

Before the Li Tang clan became a clan, it was like this for the former Sui clan.

Especially when Li Yuan, the leader of the Li Tang clan, was preparing for Yang Jian, the leader of the former Sui clan, the Li Tang clan was a tool for the former Sui clan.

A tool that can be used at any time, discarded at any time, and killed at any time.

Now the Li Tang clan stood up and became the person in charge of tools, even riding on the head of the former Sui clan, using the people of the former Sui clan as tools.

For example, the brothers Yang Sizhi and Yang Yuzhi, in the former Sui Dynasty, were of the blood of the clan. Although they were not directly descended, they were also qualified to take tools from people other than the clan of the former Sui Dynasty.

But in Datang, they are the tools of all the Tang clan.

Li Yuanji can use them, Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, and Li Shimin can also use them, even those sons and daughters of the clan who have no official titles can shout at them and take advantage of them a little.

So, when using a tool, you must carefully weigh whether the tool has the possibility of backlash, and whether it has the possibility of turning over and being equal to you.

If there is, then you have to think carefully about whether you can control it.

If you can't control it, then it's best not to control it, lest you hurt yourself first without hurting others.
If you can control it, you can control it, and if you use it well, it will be a sharp knife that will never stop.

There is no doubt that the direct lineage who defected from the Li family in Zhaozhou has no chance of turning over.

Because he turned it over again, this world is still the world of the Tang Dynasty, and the subjects of this world are still the subjects of the Tang Dynasty.

As long as the Tang Dynasty does not fall, he is a tool that can be used by every clan in the Tang Dynasty.

But he has the possibility of backlash, and it is not easy to control.

With the support of a powerful family with a deep foundation, and the secret support of a group of powerful families with a deep foundation, his backlash can cause great harm.

So big that few can resist it.

Li Yuanji thought he could resist, but he didn't have the time to keep an eye on this person, and it was impossible for him to go to Hebei Road to sit in town for this person.

It is true that he is cleaning up the Li family of Zhaozhou, and it is also true that he wants to destroy the Li family of Zhaozhou.

However, whether it is to deal with the Li family of Zhaozhou or to destroy the Li family of Zhaozhou, it is not his first priority.

The first thing he has to solve is the replacement and inheritance of Li Tang's throne.

This is a matter of his life and whether he can live the life he wants in the future.

So he had to stay in Chang'an City, and he had to devote most of his thoughts to this matter.

Therefore, once this person who defected from the Li family in Zhaozhou was incorporated by him, he could only be handed over to Wang Gui, Ma Zhou, Du Yan, Li Jing and other people in Hebei Province to control him.

And Hebei Road is the base camp of the Li family in Zhaozhou, as well as the base camp of Li's in-laws in Zhaozhou.

Wang Gui, Ma Zhou, Du Yan, and Li Jing are all famous figures in history, but in their stronghold, they may not be able to control them.

So whether to recruit this person, whether to use it, you have to think carefully before making a decision.

Li Yuanji pushed the remaining peach blossom wine in front of Xue Wanshu, and motioned for Xue Wanshu to drink it all, but Xue Wanshu was not polite, and poured it for himself cheerfully.

When Xue Wanshu picked up the wine cup and tasted the peach blossom wine again, Li Yuanji roughly told Xue Wanshu about his concerns and the pros and cons he thought of.

Xue Wanshu listened, but couldn't laugh anymore, stopped drinking the peach blossom wine, and said with an uncertain face: "In this way, not only is this not a good thing, it is very likely to be a trouble."

Li Yuanji signaled Xue Wanshu to continue drinking, it is best to drink up all the peach blossom wine, and then said with a smile: "As long as we don't accept him, there will be no trouble."

Xue Wanshu picked up the wine cup again, but he hesitated and didn't put it in his mouth. Instead, he frowned and said, "Isn't it a pity if you don't accept him?"

Li Yuanji shook his head and said with a smile: "There is nothing to regret, accepting him will do more harm than good to us. Although your Xue family is not as good as Zhaozhou's Li family, it is still a big family that has been passed down for many generations.

If someone attacks you in the place where your Xue family is lingering, and with the help of your Xue family's internal support, do you think he can uproot your Xue family? "

Xue Wanshu's face changed slightly, and he put down the wine cup again.

Li Yuanji asked with a smile, "Can you?"

Xue Wanshu said with an ugly face: "No! The possibility that my Xue family will betray is almost zero. If there is really a strong enemy attacking us in the place where our Xue family is lingering, our Xue family will definitely deal with the powerful enemy with one heart and one mind. .

If any of the direct descendants betrayed at this time, it must be my order.

Its purpose may be to leave a bloodline for my Xue family, or it may be to spy on the enemy's reality and disintegrate the enemy from within. "

Li Yuanji nodded with a smile and said: "The former should be because you realized that the enemy might not be able to deal with your Xue family, so you used this method to keep your Xue family alive.

The latter is a means for you to deal with the enemy? "

Xue Wanshu nodded with difficulty.

Li Yuanji asked with a smile: "Then what kind of person do you think the Li family of Zhaozhou betrayed?"

Xue Wanshu opened his mouth, but did not speak.

Li Yuanji continued: "The latter is more likely, right?"

Xue Wanshu nodded with a wry smile.

Although there is a certain chance that the people who defected from the Li family of Zhaozhou really betrayed the Li family of Zhaozhou, this possibility is too small. Instead, they were sent by the head of the Li family of Zhaozhou to serve as the Li family of Zhaozhou. It is more likely that Shi will find a way out.

If you look at this kind of thing from the perspective of a bystander, you can't see the hidden things clearly, and you can feel that everything is developing on the good side.

But once you bring it into yourself to see, you can see many hidden things, and you can perceive the harmful side of it.

Li Yuanji put this matter on Xue Shi, and he easily saw the harmful side that he hadn't seen clearly before.

But he was still not reconciled, "Even so, in your capacity, if you want to use him, you can use him, right?"

Li Yuanji nodded and said: "As I am, if I want to use him, I can indeed use him, but it's not necessary. Because I don't have the spare time to stare at him all the time, and I don't have the spare time to keep an eye on him, so I might as well just leave him alone. "

Xue Wanshu opened his mouth, wanting to speak.

Li Yuanji didn't give him a chance to speak, and continued: "In my opinion, everything is going in a good direction when it comes to dealing with the Li family in Zhaozhou.

If the Li family of Zhaozhou hadn't been pushed into a hurry by us, it would be impossible for people from the direct line to come out as chess pieces.

So we don't need to take risks to take advantage of this pawn, we just need to keep pushing.

The more urgent we push, the more means they use.

If we want to take advantage of our strengths, we can choose the one with the least risk and the easiest to grasp from the other methods they have used, and use it. "

Xue Wanshu was stunned for a moment, and thoughtfully savored these words.

Li Yuanji looked at Xue Wanshu and said with a smile: "So, we just need to win steadily now, and don't need to think about taking risks to win. Now they are the ones who are impatient, and they are the ones who should be anxious, not us.

We can just wait and see the changes, and respond to all changes with the same. "

Xue Wanshu was persuaded by these words, or understood the key points, and immediately nodded and said: "Your Highness is right, so what should I do with that person from the Li family in Zhaozhou?"

Before Li Yuanji could make a decision, Xue Wanshu added, "Wang Gui means to keep it in his pocket and use it."

Li Yuanji raised his brows, and said with a half-smile: "Wang Gui has no good intentions?"

Xue Wanshu couldn't see the pros and cons of this, which is understandable.

But Wang Gui can't see it, so it's a bit unreasonable.

Although Xue Wanshu is a person with both civil and military skills, he focuses more on martial arts, so it is reasonable that he can't understand or understand some things for a while.

But Wang Gui is a pure literati, and he is also a counselor among literati. He was even known as the number one counselor under Li Jiancheng before.

It would be strange for him not to see the pros and cons of it.

Xue Wanshu forced out a strange smile, not knowing how to answer.

Li Yuanji didn't try to make things difficult for others, but continued to ask with a half-smile: "He and the Zhaozhou Li family... no, no, their Taiyuan Wang family should have some in-law relationship with the Zhaozhou Li family, right?

If not, how could he be blind in this matter? "

Xue Wanshu thought for a moment, nodded his head and said, "As far as I know, one of his aunts is indeed from the Li family of Zhaozhou."

Li Yuanji smiled and nodded, "Let me just say, if he didn't have some in-laws, he wouldn't be blind on this matter."
