The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

Since they are not clean, then collect evidence. There is no need to deal with them at that time. Just scare them, and it will be enough to make them withdraw on their own initiative.

If that's the case, Li Shimin's image may be somewhat damaged.

After all, such an action is not as tight as his previous plan of more than half a year to force Luo Yi to rebel, which makes people unable to see anything.

"I want to take back the rights of those kings who have no merit and were previously arbitrarily conferred. For those who have merit, I will also confer the title of king and duke. Everything depends on whether he has made contributions to the Tang Dynasty. This is Zhenguan." Li Shimin said.

Fang Xuanling nodded.

"Yes, that's what I meant in Taiji Hall just now."

"However, from reducing the number of palace maids, to reducing the number of kings, to conferring kings again, this is a big step." Li Shimin sighed.

"If, let Changsun Wuji be the right servant, what do you think?"

This was planned by Li Shimin a long time ago, and Changsun Wuji also knew it.

He longed for power and had been eyeing the position of Right Prime Minister for some time.

"If Changsun Wuji can contain Pei Ji and Feng Deyi, this is a good idea, but the court's reaction may be great." Fang Xuanling said.

"Changsun Wuji is a smart man and one of us. If we want to accomplish what we just said, we must have such a person.

Whether it's you or you."

Li Shimin looked at Li Fu.

Li Fu was stunned.

He was just a casual official, and he was not interested in the position of Right Prime Minister.

Moreover, this was not an easy job.

You can understand it by listening to Li Shimin's words.

Fang Xuanling also said that it was necessary to contain Feng Deyi and Pei Ji.

This was an offensive job, and Right Prime Minister would also become Li Shimin's knife to kill people, dealing with those old ministers of Wude.

Changsun Wuji was a family, but also a relative.

Using family and relatives to deal with the old nobles in the court, the court would be balanced.

"Both of you, in terms of ability, can be the position of Right Prime Minister, especially you, Xuanling."

Li Shimin closed his eyes as he watched Li Fu's head shaking like a rattle.

It was unbearable to watch.

He was obviously a man of great talent, but why did he only care about money?

"You have no way out. If it doesn't work out, I can arrange for Changsun Wuji to take a sinecure, and as for you, it's hard to guarantee that it's not Chao Cuokou." Li Shimin stared at Fang Xuanling with burning eyes.

Fang Xuanling knelt down.

Li Shimin wanted to protect Fang Xuanling.

"Your Majesty, things are fast, the action is ruthless, you can attack when advancing and defend when retreating. Your Majesty has thought it through very carefully."

Li Shimin nodded.

"Well, you can leave first."

"Yes." Fang Xuanling responded.

After Fang Xuanling left, only Li Shimin and Li Fu were left in the hall.

"Do you have anything to say?" Li Shimin asked.

"Fang Xuanling's family background is not from a noble family, so my second brother said he had no way out." Li Fu said, "My second brother wanted to protect the Minister of the Central Secretariat."

"That's right." Li Shimin said, "This is the best plan I can think of, but it will be hard for Wuji."

"The Minister of the Changsun family is also a family member." Li Fu said with a smile.

That is Li Shimin's elder brother-in-law, who was born in the Changsun family. Even if there are any problems, he can handle them with his family background.

"Do you have any ideas? I saw you thinking about something just now." Li Shimin said.

"It's not that I'm thinking about something, but I heard the Minister of the Central Secretariat say that some things are not easy to do if we follow the Zhenguan philosophy, and I feel a little bit of agreement." Li Fu said with a smile, "There is no absolute fairness and justice in the world."

As Li Fu spoke, he stepped forward and came to Li Shimin's desk, pulled a piece of rough paper, and then picked up a pen and dipped it in ink to draw on the paper.

A wall, three people of different heights, and three boxes.

Two pictures were drawn.

"What is fairness? Fairness is that each person has a box, but the shortest person cannot see outside the wall. What is justice? Justice is that the tallest person has no box, but the shortest person can see outside by stepping on two boxes." Li Fu explained with a smile: "The same is true for government affairs. So, when the Secretary-General just mentioned the word Zhenguan, I felt a little emotional.

For some things, if you want to achieve your goal, it is not enough to just have obvious means.

You know, second brother, I am not that concerned about small details."

Li Fu's words were very euphemistic.

Being casual is like being thick-skinned.

Being black-hearted.

Playing politics in the court, fools are open and aboveboard.

"Then what do you think should be done?" Li Shimin asked.

He asked Fang Xuanling to leave because he wanted to hear Li Fu's idea of ​​"being casual".

"When my second brother was the King of Qin, he gave me six guards. Those six guards were loyal and skilled. I think my second brother should have many such people under his command, right? "Li Fu smiled and said, "My second brother is no longer the King of Qin, but His Majesty. Those people should not be wasted. They can still do things, and there are more things they can do."

"There are some things under the feet of the emperor in Chang'an City. There is no communication between the inside and outside of the palace. How can the emperor keep clear eyes and ears? There must be someone to be my second brother's eyes and ears outside." Li Fu said, "And it is only for you to see and hear, and no one else's voice will be accepted. "

Li Shimin stared at Li Fu.

What Li Fu said was exactly what he lacked.

In the palace, the emperor's sources of information were ministers, scouts and messengers in various parts of the Tang Dynasty.

But these were all things that were put on the surface.

There was still something missing in the dark.

Li Fu's proposal made him very excited.

The original arrangement for Li Wu's group was settled.

"Whatever they do, it's still up to you, second brother. Things in the court must be done carefully, and preparations in private must also be thorough. "Li Fu said with a smile.

He just gave a hint. As for what Li Shimin could think of, it had nothing to do with him.

What will happen next has nothing to do with him.

He didn't say anything, just asked Li Shimin to receive more news from the outside world.

His starting point is good.

Li Shimin pondered Li Fu's words over and over again.

He heard that Li Fu had something to say, but he just didn't say it clearly, and was beating around the bush with him.

Or, there are some things that Li Fu knows he shouldn't say.

He shouldn't say it, but he should think...

In this way, Li Fu doesn't get too involved in the cause and effect of the matter.

This bastard is smart and cleared himself of all blame.

"You should consider it." Li Shimin nodded and said, "In the future, there will inevitably be conflicts in the court, and the emperor..."

"Accompanying and being filial to the elderly are the best traditional virtues of my King Jingyang."
