Man Tanghong

Chapter 769 Turtle in the urn
"Very good, very good!"

Li Yuan rubbed his hands and shouted, the excitement on his face could not be concealed.

He is very enthusiastic about the elimination of aristocratic families, and he even does not hesitate to fight for it as a lifelong event.

Although he himself is also a member of the aristocratic family, but now he has left the aristocratic family and has become an existence above the aristocratic family.

Therefore, even if the wealthy family is tossed to death, he will not feel sad when the rabbit dies, but will only be excited.

"Do you have any other coups, tell them together!"

Li Yuan seemed to have seen the unprecedented prosperity of the Tang Dynasty after the eradication of the aristocratic family, and the unprecedented stability of the country, so excitedly urged Li Yuanji to talk about some methods against the aristocratic family.

Li Yuanji didn't hide it either, and told Li Yuan what he was implementing, what he wanted to implement, and what he was thinking about.

"Father, although the aristocratic family looks like a colossus that might threaten my Great Tang, they are actually just a group of turtles in the jar. Father has led the army, so he should know that the way to lead the army is not only defensive, but also offensive.

But now facing us, the aristocratic giants can only defend, not attack.

We can use this advantage to ravage them at will. "

After Li Yuanji finished talking about the methods he did and thought, he also made a summary.

What Li Yuan heard was his eyes glowing, and he kept applauding. He wished he could find a wealthy family to practice his skills now.

This is not to say that he can no longer tolerate any wealthy family, but the shame that the wealthy family has brought to him is so great that these shames have formed hatred in his heart, making him have a strong feeling for the people of the wealthy family. hostility.

Coupled with the fact that the existence of the aristocratic family affects the stability of the Tang Dynasty, this is another new hostility. The superposition of the two hostility gives him a reason to completely remove the aristocratic family.

Speaking of which, the operation of the wealthy family is quite coquettish.

When Li Yuan was the Duke of Tang, they didn’t talk about Li’s blood. The Zheng family of Xingyang didn’t even mind marrying the eldest daughter’s daughter to Li Jiancheng. The Wang family of Taiyuan, the Li family of Zhaojun, the Yang family of Hongnong, etc. I don't mind marrying the prostitute daughter of the family to Li Shimin.

After Li Yuan became the emperor, people from aristocratic and wealthy families picked up Joe instead, especially the other families with five surnames and seven hopes.

Li Yuan excitedly ran to ask Qiwang Wuxing for his son's marriage, hoping to marry other families of Qiwang Wuxing, so as to deepen his control over Taiyuan Prefecture, Duji Province, and Hebei Province, and strengthen his dealings with Wang Shichong. And Dou Jiande's background.

As a result, the other families of Five Surnames and Seven Hopes not only refused to agree, but also humiliated Li Yuan.

It made Li Yuan go away in good spirits and return in defeat.

In the end, he had to endure the humiliation and let his son marry Hongnong Yang's prostitute daughter as his wife.

Speaking of the Hongnong Yang family, their operations in this area are also very coquettish. Although they agreed to Li Yuan's marriage proposal when Li Yuan proposed for his son, they gave the eldest son's daughter-in-law to Li Yuan's second son as a child , married Xiaofang's prostitute to Li Yuan's fourth son as his wife.

This seems to be very wise. They gave up their big capital and befriended Li Shimin, and when Li Shimin ascended to heaven, they can follow suit.

But doing so made Li Yuan evil,

Good guy, Li Yuan is an emperor and an elder in-law of Yang's family. He personally turned his face to Yang's to ask for his son's marriage. Instead of marrying off the big house's first daughter, Yang gave his other son to be his concubine.

Doing this seems to be bowing to Li Yuan, but in fact it is slapping Li Yuan in the face.

Li Yuan is not stupid, he can easily see that Yang's doing this is because he is interested in his second son's political future and wants to invest in advance, rather than really attaching importance to marrying Li and not caring about the blood on Li's body.

Li Yuan had already been humiliated by the other families of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes, but at this moment, the Yang family stepped forward and slapped Li Yuan, can Li Yuan say Yang's favor? !

Li Yuan had restrained himself in not tearing down the Yang family.

That is, under the coquettish manipulation of these aristocratic families, Li Yuan deeply hated them.

In the past, Li Yuan restrained himself because the Tang Dynasty was not yet unified and he had no good way to deal with them.

Now that the Tang Dynasty was unified and there was a better way to deal with them, Li Yuan couldn't bear it anymore.

"Leave the matter of Xingyang to me, and I will personally concoct the Zheng family."

Li Yuan took the matter of Zhang Liang's elementary school in Xingyang to himself.

Li Yuanji didn't object either, it was also a good thing for him to have Li Yuan help him share part of the work.

After all, he had to deal with all the government affairs of the Tang Dynasty, and he didn't have time to keep an eye on Zhang Liang's initiation in Xingyang.

Let Li Yuan stare at it, let Li Yuan control it, and he can save worry and effort.

In this matter, there will not be too much power involved, and there will be no need to mobilize too many troops, and he does not have to worry that Li Yuan will use this to regain his power and come to the front of the stage again.

At this moment, Li Shimin pondered and poured cold water on him, "Yuanji, the aristocratic family is not as weak as you said, they can only defend but not attack.

When they attack, they are invisible and pervasive.

Although not as fierce as the army's killing, nor as straightforward as the army's killing, their knives are also very sharp, and they kill without blood. "

When Li Yuan heard Li Shimin's words, he felt that it was reasonable, and the excitement on his face suddenly subsided, and he quickly looked at Li Yuanji, wondering what Li Yuanji could do to deal with it.

Li Yuanji said confidently: "With the temptation of huge profits in water transportation and sea transportation, and our instigation, they have no spare power to deal with us, and it is difficult for them to unite to attack us.

If the second brother is still worried, he can follow what I did in Luoyang and provoke internal struggles among their families. "

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and then he understood the meaning of Li Yuanji's words, and his face suddenly became ugly.

Li Yuan blinked his eyes in confusion, his eyes lingered on Li Shimin and Li Yuanji and said, "What to imitate, and how to provoke internal struggles in their families?"

Li Yuanji glanced at Li Shimin, and said with a smile: "Naturally, it is to resell the officials and appoint talents from various families."

Li Yuan immediately remembered the things Li Yuanji did in Luoyang when he followed Li Shimin to conquer Liu Heitai. Yuanji means.

That matter was only a beginning at that time, because Li Yuanji did not cooperate, and Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin cherished feathers, so they gave up halfway.

Now that the old things are brought up again, it seems that you can continue to do it?
"Do you want your second brother to come forward and resell the official titles to the bastards of the wealthy families, let those bastards grow up in the clan, and then compete with the bastards?"

Li Yuan asked.

Li Yuanji nodded, then shook his head and said, "Yes and no..."

Li Yuan didn't understand the meaning of these words.

Li Yuanji explained: "With my second brother's current status, no one would believe him even if he came forward to resell the official rank, so we have to let other people do it."

Li Yuan was even more confused, "Since you are going to let other people do it, why do you want your second brother to follow what you did in Luoyang?"

Li Yuanji smiled and said: "No matter who is asked to do this, there must be a plausible excuse, right?"

Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

Li Yuanji continued: "If I use the excuse that my second brother is gathering strength and preparing for a comeback, I believe many people will be fooled."

Speaking of this, Li Yuanji said with a bright smile: "If there are one or two direct descendants of aristocratic families who are also fooled, then we will make a lot of money."

Li Yuan didn't care about Li Shimin's comeback as an excuse, he just said with a look of astonishment: "Are you planning to lure the direct descendants of the aristocratic family into the bait, and then in the name of treason, send an army to wipe them out?"

Li Shimin's mouth twitched at a speed visible to the naked eye when he heard the word "dispute".

Although Li Yuan had given up yelling at him to kill him now, but when the word "rebellious" came out, it proved that his position in Li Yuan's heart was still that of the rebellious son who committed chaos, without any change.

This is not good news for him.

He is already a bird in a cage, and only Li Yuan can help him under strict guard.

If his position in Li Yuan's heart does not improve for a long time, then his life is over.

Li Yuanji saw the twitching of Li Shimin's mouth, but he didn't pay attention. Instead, he answered Li Yuan's question with a smile, "Not bad..."

Li Yuan said thoughtfully: "Whether the descendants of the aristocratic family are not fooled, will there be no loss for us?"

Li Yuanji nodded slowly.

If the direct descendants of the wealthy family were fooled, he could use the excuse of seeking rebellion to send an army to wipe out the wealthy family in an open and honest manner.

The direct descendants of the aristocratic family will not be fooled, nor will it affect his plan to provoke internal struggles in the aristocratic family.

"This is indeed a good way. As long as they are in chaos internally and with each other, even if they see that we are plotting against them, they will have no spare power to deal with us."

Li Yuan became excited again, staring at Li Yuanji and said, "Who are you going to let go?"

Li Yuanji glanced at Li Shimin with a smile and said, "Eldest grandson Anye!"

There is no one more suitable for this matter than Changsun Anye.

The eldest grandson Anye is Li Shimin's eldest brother-in-law, even if he has some grievances with his eldest grandson and eldest grandson Wuji, he is also Li Shimin's eldest brother-in-law.

Changsun Anye did not participate in the previous Xuanwumen coup, and stayed in the mansion for a long time after the coup, and he rarely came out to wander around Chang'an City so far, so he did not suffer any damage in the previous coup.

Let the eldest grandson find an excuse to leave the palace once, and then secretly meet him once, and let him help manage Li Shimin's comeback, it will definitely deceive people.

Add Qu Tutong, Yu Chigong, Chu Liang, and Changsun Wuji if necessary, and you will be able to fool everyone.
