Man Tanghong

Chapter 838
"Chen Jun Xie?"

Li Xiaogong was stunned for a moment, then questioned: "Why did you choose Xie family from Chen Jun?"

Li Yuanji roughly explained to Li Xiaogong the reasons for choosing the Xie family of Chenjun, and he summed it up in one sentence, that is, the Xie family of Chenjun was weak enough, scattered enough, and urgently needed a chance to re-emerge, and they could give the Xie family of Chenjun this opportunity. Chance.

The most important thing is that the Xie family in Chenjun is very loose and not united, so it is easier to control.

After Li Xiaogong heard the reason why Li Yuanji chose the Xie family of Chenjun, he said with some understanding: "Is there another reason, that is, your confidant Xie Shufang also came from the Xie family of Chenjun, and you can use him to control Xie, influence Xie, and finally gather Xie together and become a sharp blade to charge us?"

Li Yuanji smiled without saying a word.

Li Xiaogong first stared at Li Yuanji silently for a while, seeing that Li Yuanji had been silent, he also laughed.

That's how smart people talk.

There are some things that don’t need to be said, just with a look and expression, the other party can understand what you mean.

Li Yuanji's choice of the Xie family in Chenjun really meant to support Xie Shufang to become the head of the Xie family in Chenjun, and then use Xie Shufang to control the Xie family in Chenjun.

As for whether to let the Xie family of Chen Jun go to the front line and become a sharp knife for Datang to deal with the aristocratic family, it still depends on whether the Xie family can seize this opportunity, integrate together, and grow stronger.

After all, not everyone can be Datang's sharp blade against aristocratic families. To become Datang's sharp blade against aristocratic families, one must not only be tough on oneself, but also learn to develop and grow in constant struggle.

If it is not strong enough, Datang will fall apart after one or two uses, then it is not a sharp blade, but a consumable.

If you don't know how to strengthen yourself in the constant struggle, then it will be difficult for Datang to become a sharp knife against the wealthy family.

Because the aristocratic families that Datang had to deal with were not one or two, but a dozen or so.

Due to the influence of aristocratic and wealthy families in Datang, it is impossible for Datang to eradicate them in one go, so they must be eaten away one by one.

If Mrs. Xie is just strong enough, but does not know how to use every struggle to strengthen himself, then no matter how tough Mrs. Xie is, there will be times when the halberd is broken, and it is impossible to accompany Datang like a sharp knife.

Therefore, whether it can become a sharp knife for Datang against the aristocratic family or not depends on whether the people of the Xie family can live up to their expectations.

Specifically, it depends on whether the people of the Xie family can use the corpse of the Boling Cui family to stand up after helping Datang deal with the Boling Cui family.

If Mrs. Xie can stand up, then Mrs. Xie has the potential to become a sword of the Tang Dynasty. If she can't stand up, it proves that Mrs. Xie's people cannot be supported by mud, and there is no value in continuing to cultivate them.

"I'll talk to Xie Shufang about the details, or should you talk to Xie Shufang in person?"

After Li Xiaogong laughed, he hesitated to ask.

The plan to deal with the aristocratic family is still kept secret, and it cannot be leaked, nor can it be known by too many people.

How to talk to Xie Shufang, how to get Xie Shufang to agree, has to be carefully considered.

Although the branch of the Xie clan that Xie Shufang belongs to has declined, it is still a branch of the Xie clan. No one knows whether Xie Shufang is willing to stand up, integrate the entire clan, and then take the entire clan to serve as cannon fodder for the Tang Dynasty.

If Xie Shufang is willing, then everyone will be happy.

If Xie Shufang is unwilling and reveals the matter, then the fun will be great.

So who speaks is very important.

Li Yuanji thought for a while and said, "Let me tell the story."

Xie Shufang is his confidant and owes him a lot of kindness. If he comes forward, even if Xie Shufang refuses to agree, he will not spread the matter to everyone.

The most important thing is that Xie Shufang is now considered to be half of the Li family. What he needs Xie Shufang to do is to protect the interests of the Li family. Give Uncle Xie enough face.

If Li Xiaogong were to say it, it would seem that he didn't pay enough attention to it, and it would be easy to be misunderstood by others.

What is wrong?

He misunderstood Li as an outsider.

Once Xie Shufang has this feeling, it will be difficult to make Xie Shufang do things that will harm Xie's family.

After all, if Mrs. Li didn't treat her as her own, she would have to cuddle with Mrs. Xie to keep warm.

"Okay, then I will wait for the good news."

Li Xiaogong nodded and said with a smile.

In fact, he also hoped that Li Yuanji would talk to Xie Shufang instead of letting him talk to Xie Shufang.

After all, at best, he was Xie Shufang's colleague and brother-in-law, not the kind of brother-in-law he was close to. He didn't have a deep relationship with Xie Shufang, and there was no such thing as a deadly friendship.

Go tell Xie Shufang this kind of thing that makes people use the clan as cannon fodder, even if they have the best temper, they will get angry.

If he can't hold back his temper and fights with him in class, he won't be able to do anything to him.

Li Yuanji is different. Li Yuanji is not only Xie Shufang's lord, but also Xie Shufang's benefactor. Xie Shufang, who has achieved success in one fell swoop, can be said to be a great favor to Xie Shufang.

Li Yuanji went to tell Xie Shufang about this kind of thing, even if Xie Shufang didn't want to, it's not easy to turn against Li Yuanji, let alone do something to Li Yuanji.

What's more, Li Yuanji, as the leader of the Tang Dynasty now, has righteousness on his shoulders. If Li Yuanji uses righteousness to suppress Xie Shufang, even if Xie Shufang doesn't want to agree, he has to agree.

In this way, the probability of success is also high.

Li Yuanji didn't know the twists and turns in Li Xiaogong's heart, and after discussing the matter with Li Xiaogong, he sent Li Xiaogong away.

Then let Zhao Chengyong send someone to watch Li Xiaogong's every move after leaving the palace.

It's not that he can't trust Li Xiaogong, but he feels that what Li Shentong and Li Xiaogong did in Xingyang this time is a little too much, and they hurt Qu Tutong, Qin Qiong and others very badly.

After his suggestion, Li Xiaogong will definitely make some compensation to Qu Tutong and others.

He wanted to see the reaction of Qu Tutong and others after receiving the compensation, so as to infer how far Li Shentong and Li Xiaogong had hurt Qu Tutong and others, and whether further compensation was needed.

Under the supervision of the people sent by Zhao Chengyong, Li Xiaogong immediately prepared to compensate Qu Tutong and others after leaving the palace.

However, Li Xiaogong kept his instructions in mind. After making preparations, he did not contact Qu Tutong and others immediately. Instead, he waited until the first heavy snow fell in winter before starting to communicate with Qu Tutong. Wait for someone to contact.

Li Xiaogong called Qu Tutong and others to the mansion under the pretext of holding his own birthday, and held a three-day banquet in one go.

During the banquet, Li Xiaogong proposed to gamble, and won Qu Tutong, Qin Qiong and others by nearly ten thousand in one breath.

Qu Tutong, Qin Qiong and others won and cried, and finally when the banquet was over, Li Xiaogong drunkenly told Qu Tutong, Qin Qiong and others that they lost because they had invested in the shipping.

Mandatory shareholding, no rejection allowed.

Only then did Qu Tutong, Qin Qiong and others realize that Li Xiaogong was taking the opportunity to compensate them.

They have no intention of refusing, but the family situation is so-so, and they don't know how to do business. After Li Shimin's downfall, their life is not satisfactory, and they really don't want to part with the bonus on shipping.

So I agreed with half-push and half-satisfaction.

The next day, Li Xiaogong called them to ask for the money they invested in.

It was obvious that he was trying to get them to make a fortune together, but Li Xiaogong made it look like extortion.

Qu Tutong, Qin Qiong and the others knew that Li Xiaogong was taking care of their face, so they were very grateful.

Not only paid the full amount of Li Xiaogong's gambling money, but also took out nearly [-] Guan as investment money.

Li Xiaogong didn't want to take two cents, but Qu Tutong and Qin Qiong insisted on giving it.

In a rage, Li Xiaogong kidnapped Qu Tutong's second grandson, Qu Tu Zhongxiang, and Qin Qiong's son, Qin Huaidao.

Within two days, the two little guys became captains of the twelve guards.

After Li Yuanji learned the whole story through Zhao Chengyong, he couldn't laugh or cry.

Li Xiaogong is really unique in his work.

But the final result barely conformed to his wishes.

Historically, because Qu Tutong was too old, he had been guarding Luoyang and did not catch up with the change of Xuanwumen. Therefore, after Li Shimin ascended the throne, he did not receive any rewards. His two sons lost his blessing, and their lives were not satisfactory. , not to mention his grandson.

If Li Shimin hadn't met his son Qu Tushou during one of his travels, and remembered the glorious years with him, maybe Qu Tushou would have survived in name only in the hands of his grandson.

But even if Li Shimin remembered his former right-hand man and the glorious years when he was with him, the rewards for his children and grandchildren were not satisfactory.

As a result, the Qu Tu family has declined since his grandson.

Now Li Xiaogong has slipped his grandson out and given him the position of captain at once, and he is still the captain of the twelve guards. In the future, even if he has experienced wars, he can still be in the twelve guards just by virtue of his mixed qualifications. Get a well-ranked general.

In the future, the Qutu family will no longer have to follow in the footsteps of history.

Historically, Qin Qiong's descendants were also unsatisfactory. Although Qin Qiong caught up with the Xuanwu Gate and won a huge reward, Qin Qiong suffered too many injuries in the early years, so that he didn't play much in the Zhenguan Dynasty. He could not give much support to his children and grandchildren, so that after his death, his children and grandchildren did not get along well.

Although his son, Qin Huaidao, inherited his title and was granted the title of Duke of Licheng County, the highest official position is that of a county magistrate.

It can be said that he has made no achievements in his official career, and is just lying on his credit book until he dies.

His grandson is about the same.

By the time of the Yonghui Dynasty, his Qin family had fallen out of the noble family.

It is very different from the Yuchi family where Yu Chigong is, and the Cheng family where Cheng Yaojin is.

Now Li Xiaogong sneaked his son out, and also gave it to a captain of the twelve guards. After his death, their Qin family will not decline so quickly.

If his descendants are up to the challenge, the Qin family may be able to rise to the next level.
