Li Er of the Tang Dynasty: Ancestor Xie is here!

Chapter 237 As long as they were in the Tang Dynasty, who wouldn’t want to hang out with Taizong?

"Crony?" Li Song repeated subconsciously in shock.

To be honest, Li Song thought about it for a long time and couldn't recall that there were cronies among the goals of the revolution.

Isn’t it about fighting against eunuchs, fighting against feudal lords and fighting against corruption?

Why is this knife pointed at a crony?

It’s no wonder that he was confused. Niu Sengru, one of the protagonists of the Niu-Li party struggle, would not take the exam until the third year of Emperor Xianzong’s reign in the Tang Dynasty. Now he is just a little Kalami.

And Li Deyu... Li Deyu is the western ancestor of the Li family in Zhao County. How about the imperial examination? take an exam? If it doesn’t exist, is that what we men should take the exam? It is impossible to take exams. During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, my grandfather passed all the exams in his life.

According to the historical trajectory, Li Deyu had to wait until the eleventh year of Yuanhe when Prime Minister Zhang Hongjing took office as the governor of Hedong and was appointed as the secretary of Jieduzhang, starting from the eighth rank.

"Let me tell you." Li Qing came from behind and sat next to Li Shimin: "The reform groups of Wang Shuwen and Wang Min have not escaped the weaknesses of human nature. During the Yongzhen reform, they were busy with promotions and eager to seek benefits. Success, promote disciples, old officials, relatives and friends one by one. As long as someone in the group says that "so-and-so is qualified for a certain official position," this person will be able to get the position in a few days. When the two kings are in power, the family is like a city, and you should You know, Wang Gan even made a large wooden cabinet to store the gift money, and the couple slept on the big cabinet and enjoyed the pleasure of money."

"And their behavior has actually become the prototype of later party struggles." Li Qing concluded.

In fact, the record about the "Two Kings and Eight Sima" in "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" is biased. In fact, thinking about it, Sima Guang himself was a minister of the conservative faction. How could he have any positive evaluation of the reformers? In addition, he likes to treat people wrongly, which also leads to the evaluation of "two kings and eight sima" in the book.

Moreover, many of the contents in the book are hearsay or unofficial history, such as "Wang Mang poisoned Emperor Ping of the Han Dynasty". This was a rumor fabricated by the rebels in the late Xin Mang years. It was written as a letter of history by Sima Guang and others, which is very irresponsible. of.

But having said that, it is clearly written that "in view of the past, he is qualified to govern the country", but in fact, he is essentially serving the emperor in governing the country. During the writing process, Sima Guang strengthened the political content, summarized political management experience, paid attention to etiquette and people's livelihood, analyzed employment and power, and paid attention to contingency and balance. It is an excellent reference book for governance, but it is not just for the purpose. Sima Guang's personal problems negated this work.

At this time, Wang Shuwen, Wang Gong and others who had been captured by the Anxi Army had been escorted to the palace. After hearing Li Qing's words, Wang Shuwen and Wang Gong looked at each other without saying a word.

An Xijun quietly introduced the people in front of them to those people, especially when Li Shimin, the "Emperor Taizong" was mentioned, Wei Zhiyi pressed his chest and gasped violently, and the eyes of Liu Zongyuan and Liu Yuxi seemed to be emitting laser light. .

"However, the original intention of the reform is still very good. If the reform policy can be implemented, Datang will really be saved." Li Shimin went on to affirm Yongzhen's innovation.

Hearing Li Shimin's affirmation, Wang Shuwen and others raised their heads and rekindled hope.

Since Emperor Taizong holds a positive attitude towards himself and others, it seems that the crime will not lead to death...

It can be seen from this that they do not know Li Shimin very well. According to Lao Li's temperament, no matter what, the original intention of this group of people is to save the Tang Dynasty. It is human nature to be greedy for points. In the current Tang Dynasty... people like Wang Shuwen and Wang Gan are already rare. Necessity demands too much.

Besides, why is there so much corruption? Isn’t it all internal strife among your courtiers?

But Lao Li began to criticize from the lofty perspective of Emperor Taizong: "The only problem is that the power base of you reformists is too weak, but you still tout each other as Yi Yin, Zhou Gong, and Guan Zhong like conspicuous people. And the biggest The problem is that the military power of the Shence Army is in the hands of the eunuchs. Without military power as a basis, and they are unwilling to unite the courtiers to fight against the eunuchs, and finally refuse to compromise with the new emperor Li Chun, the end is obvious."

The reform ministers knelt on the ground and had nothing to say.

Call it too hasty, but it's actually understandable. If Li Song hadn't been in poor health, they wouldn't have been so eager to carry out drastic reforms. If the new emperor is that kind of conservative, he will be in power as soon as Li Songren falls.

"I have pointed out the problem for you. Whether it is the eunuch's monopoly or the separatist rule of vassal towns, I will help you solve the problem." When Li Shimin said this, he looked at Li Song: "As for the government affairs, you can handle it yourself. I think you Not that kind of incompetent person.”

"You still have forty or fifty years of good life, so there is no need to worry about the prince's problem in a hurry, so Li Chun... I will take him away." Li Shimin looked at Li Chun who was kneeling beside him.

Li Shimin is really satisfied with the future master of ZTE.

Except for his later pursuit of immortality, which led to him taking elixirs and becoming irritable and being killed by eunuchs, there were no big black spots.

If Tang Xianzong could live for more than ten years, the future direction of the Tang Dynasty would be different.

Ah, if he could live another four or five years, it would not be Tang Mu Zong Li Heng's turn to ascend the throne - after all, he was a short-lived ghost who also liked to take golden elixirs, and eventually died on his favorite golden elixir avenue. .

Li Heng, on the other hand, is a rather strange person. His father is a man of great talent and strategy, and as a result, he has a tiger father and a dog son; but he, a dog father, has three outstanding sons.

It is very strange that the three sons are all emperors, namely Li Zhan, Emperor Jingzong of Tang Dynasty, Li Ang, Emperor Wenzong of Tang Dynasty, and Li Yan, Emperor Wuzong of Tang Dynasty.

Li Song couldn't help but feel relieved when he heard Li Shimin's words.

Although his ancestors saved him, no emperor would be willing to give up his seat to others. Now that Li Shimin said he was leaving, Li Song must be very happy.

As he thought about it, he couldn't help laughing.

But as soon as I opened my mouth, I felt something was wrong. He tried hard to control his expression, and it took him a long time to suppress the smile.

Li Shimin quietly watched Li Song manage his expression, wishing he could give him a slap in the face.

Forget it, don't you have to recognize your own children and grandchildren just by holding their noses? There were so many emperors in the Tang Dynasty, and Li Song was considered reliable.

"No matter how happy you are, I can still see your stomach."

"My grandson knows his mistake." Li Song immediately knelt on the ground and buried his head in his sleeves.

He didn't want to kneel down, but mainly wanted to cover his face by kneeling down. Now Li Song's face was buried in his sleeves, his expression twitching crazily, as if he remembered something sad.

After he laughed for a long time, he finally got up. Li Shimin took out a bunch of mobile phones from his arms and handed them to Li Song: "These are mobile phones. We can still keep in touch even across borders."

"Mobile phone?" Li Song respectfully took one of the mobile phones. Under Li Zhi's teaching, he quickly mastered the operating skills.

"This, this, this... is simply an artifact!" Li Song looked at the mobile phone in his hand with bright eyes - Li Zhi had just downloaded the video software for him, and he was hooked on Hot Dance almost instantly.

Modern attire is undoubtedly full of impact on the ancients. If it were the emperor of the Song Dynasty, he would not criticize it and then look at it critically; if it were the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he would definitely lie on the dragon bed in the harem and slowly I saw it; if he were the emperor of the Han Dynasty, he might not be able to accept these costumes, but he still looked at them with a critical eye of "pleasure but not obscenity"; if he were the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he would definitely accept these costumes immediately. Something avant-garde. No problem, our Datang Dynasty is so tolerant.

Otherwise, Li Song is a descendant of Li Zhi, more or less a throwback to his ancestors, and he has always been very lecherous.

You see, Li Shimin is a gentleman who is lustful and chooses women wisely. He has never been interested in women who can't win his heart. Like slandering his sister-in-law or something like that, Li Shimin actually didn't touch any of them.

What we, Lao Li, pay attention to is a soul mate.

Li Zhi thoughtfully taught him how to use chat software and invited him into the chat group of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

There were many people he was familiar with, such as Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan, Emperor Xuanzong Li Longji, Princess Taiping, etc...

I just don’t know why Li Longji changed his name to Li Chengji.

Of course he didn't know that Li Xiaosan hated Lao Li Longji's behavior with all his heart, and that Li Xiaosan, whose conscience had not yet been completely fed to the dog, also had a little bit of passion in him.

People are a collection of contradictions. After getting to know Li Qing and witnessing Zhu Ping's torture, Li Xiaosan really swore that he would be a good emperor in this life.

It's not enough to be a good emperor. After seeing all the enjoyments that his future self would experience, Li Xiaosan really shuddered and felt sad.

Li Song flicked his cell phone and asked dully: "There are many disadvantages now. The problem of vassal towns can be said to be a chronic disease of the Tang Dynasty. Sun Chen believes that haste makes waste, so it is better to take measures slowly."

"Why do you say that?" Li Zhi asked with a smile.

"Even if Grandpa Taizong is divine, civilized, and martial, he can't beat four hands with two fists. Sun Chen is also worried about his old man..." Li Song stopped here. He was not flattering, but he was really worried that Li Shimin might be able to defeat the feudal town. Counterattack.

Times have changed after all. Although three thousand can be broken into one hundred thousand, the feudal town should not be underestimated.

"Don't worry, with the help of the Immortal Master, your Yongzhen Dynasty's speedy passage to the feudal town will not be a problem." Li Zhi laughed: "You may not have any idea of ​​what the Zhenguan Dynasty has developed now, but it doesn't matter, wait and see After Ce’s army sets off, you can go with the army to take a look and experience the strength of Tiance’s army.”

"Really? I don't believe it." Li Song was still hesitant.

It's not his fault. After all, people who have never seen a modern army would have a hard time imagining why a black tube could lift a solid city wall into the sky with just one shot.

"The primary goal is to fight, so let's attack the three towns of Heshuo." Li Zhi smiled sadly: "The first goal is to kill the three towns of Heshuo and knock them down, so that other Jiedu envoys can be defeated." Fearful. At that time, the power of the Jiedushi can be returned to the imperial court."

"Times are changing and technology is also advancing. Your main task is not just to clean up those vassal towns." Li Xian said: "Uncle... that is, the immortal master wants you to unify the entire world. Let Datang travel around the world."

With that said, Li Xian took out a globe from his arms.

"See, this is the whole world." Li Xian patted the globe, pointed at the corner of the Tang Dynasty and said, "This area is your Tang Dynasty today."

Li Song put down his cell phone, looked at the miniature Tang Dynasty on the globe, and couldn't help but frown.

"Uncle, this Tang Dynasty is too young. Are you mistaken?"

According to seniority, there is nothing wrong with calling him uncle. After all, Li Song belongs to Li Dan's lineage according to the branch theory, and as Li Xian is Li Dan's second brother, there is no problem in being called uncle, uncle and uncle by his descendants.

"How can I get such a basic question wrong?" Li Xian raised his eyebrows: "You kid, dare to question your uncle?"

Li Song kept saying that he didn't dare, but looking at his eyes, it was obvious that he still dared.

"As for you..." Li Shimin looked at Wang Qian, Wang Shuwen and others standing aside, and after a while he made the appointment: "Wang Shuwen and Wang Qian were demoted two levels to await imperial edict; the rest were demoted one level each... You are still responsible for the new policies of the Yongzhen Dynasty, and the policy policy remains unchanged for the time being. Liu Zongyuan and Liu Yuxi, would you like to go to the Zhenguan Dynasty with me?"

After hearing Li Shimin's words, everyone couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

According to their assumptions, even if Lao Li did not kill them, he would still have to punish them, and in the end he would have to overturn the reform policy and start over. Unexpectedly, Li Shimin actually held a positive attitude towards their reform policy and even allowed them to continue to implement the New Deal.

In comparison, the matter of being demoted by several levels is not worth mentioning, right?

"Thank you Emperor Taizong!"

Led by Wang Shuwen, everyone bowed to the ground willingly, grateful to Li Shimin.

Only then did Liu Zongyuan and Liu Yuxi react.

What? What did Emperor Taizong say just now? Asked if we would like to go to the Zhenguan Dynasty with him?

I am willing! Of course!

The faces of the two were suppressed and turned red. As long as they were in the Tang Dynasty, who wouldn't want to hang out with Taizong? This is the blessing that has been cultivated in eight lifetimes...

Regarding Liu Zongyuan and Liu Yuxi, Li Shimin was not just interested in their literary talent. In fact, the political abilities of the two are not weak, especially Liu Zongyuan, whose political abilities are not weaker than his literary skills. That "On Feudalism" was approved by teachers and other elders.

"I am willing! I am willing!" Liu Zongyuan knelt down on the ground with a plop. His voice was urgent: "Of course I am willing to go to the Zhenguan Dynasty with Your Majesty Taizong! This is what I wish for..."

Liu Yuxi on the side was too excited to speak and just nodded.

"Don't be too anxious," Li Zhi chuckled: "Actually, there are many people in the Zhenguan Dynasty who you should have heard of, such as Li Bai and Du Fu, who are now serving in the Zhenguan Dynasty..."
