The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

Li Fu's words planted a seed in Li Yuan's heart.

Whether it is the Eight Great Families of Guanlong or the Five Surnames and Seven Families, the expansion of power of these aristocratic families is not a good thing. It will pose a threat to the court and the Li Tang royal family.

If Li Shimin secretly takes action in the future, the old man should not feel sorry for his old brothers.

Li Fu himself was free in the study, flipping through history books, and he also read some things.

What does Wang and Ma share the world?

The Wang family of Langya and the royal family are evenly matched. Sima Rui mainly relied on the Wang family of Langya from crossing the east to ascending the throne. The brothers Wang Dao and Wang Dun strongly supported the Sima family. Wang Dao was in charge of the interior, united the northern and southern gentry, strategized and made his own orders, and Wang Dun held the military power and was responsible for conquests.

The civil and military powers were in the hands of the Wang family. Most of the officials in the court were from the Wang family or people related to the Wang family.

Is the Tang Dynasty going to share the world with the aristocratic families?

The establishment of the Tang Dynasty was also supported by the Guanlong Group, and Li Yuan became the person in charge at that time.

To be honest, the Guanlong Group did not support Li Yuan first, because at that time, Li Yuan was not qualified enough in their eyes, and his reputation was not enough. He was not an official with real power, and their Li family was not in the eyes of those big families.

This is why even if the Li family became the royal family, those aristocratic families still looked down on the Li family.

The first person supported by the Guanlong Group was the Hongnong Yang family, Yang Xuangan, the son of Yang Su, a founding hero of the Sui Dynasty.

At that time, Yang Xuangan's title was Duke of Chu. If Yang Xuangan succeeded in his rebellion, it might not be the Tang Dynasty, but the Chu Dynasty.

Unfortunately, Yang Xuangan failed, and the Guanlong Group's first large-scale rebellion to subvert the Sui Dynasty ended.

After Yang Xuangan's failure, the Guanlong nobles temporarily entered a latent period.

It was at this time that Li Yuan saw the opportunity and used the name of the Longxi Li family. With the rescue at Yanmen Pass, he gained Yang Guang's trust and secured his position as the governor of Taiyuan.

Taiyuan, with money and food, and occupying a corner of the world, is a good place to develop in a low-key manner.

Through marriage, the Li family gathered small families with a lot of money and food, such as the Chai family and the Yin family, under the banner of the Li family, and continued to develop in a wretched manner, which qualified them to enter the sight of the Guanlong nobles.

Guanzhong has always been the territory of the Guanlong nobles. When the Central Plains was in chaos, why did Emperor Yang of Sui hide in Yangzhou?

He didn't even dare to go back to Daxing City.

He couldn't go back.

After listening to Li Yuan's many stories about the aristocratic families, Li Fu felt that his occasional reading of the history books of the previous dynasty was not in vain, at least he could understand what happened more than ten years ago.

After all, most of those guys who turned the tide back then are still alive. Who knows, one day, some wealthy family will ring the bell and shout: Welcome the ancestor~~

Then an old man who is in his seventies and eighties and has lived through several dynasties will come out. . . . . .

Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle.

I am just a young, pitiful, helpless, and delicate prince of the Tang Dynasty who wants to make a lot of money, enjoy life, and live well. What's wrong with me?

And now, with Li Shimin's temper, would he be happy? Would he allow someone to strangle him?

So during the Zhenguan period, the Yonghui period, and until the empress ascended the throne, the aristocratic families were destroyed.

That's it, they were only slightly damaged. To really break them up, we have to watch "Curse of the Golden Flower".

"My nephew has studied what happened during the period from the pre-Sui Dynasty to the unification of the world by our Tang Dynasty." Li Fu said, "That's why I said that most or even all of the last ten boxes of tea will fall into their hands."

"Even if you want to reward me, one or two of the ten boxes of tea in your hand will be for them, right?"

Li Fu smiled and looked at Li Yuan.

"I don't even know about the reward, how come you know it?" Li Yuan found it interesting and asked Li Fu back.

"It's very simple. Uncle, you value friendship and have old ministers who have a good relationship with you. Those who supported you in conquering the world and helped you were not ordinary people." Li Fu said, "Their origins are destined to be extraordinary. For example, the Pei family where Pei Ji came from is not as prominent as the Eight Great Families of Guanlong, but they have also been officials for generations."

"You know a lot." Li Yuan smiled.

"Know yourself and know your enemy." Li Fu also smiled.

Li Yuan sighed in his heart.

If the feud between my nephew and the Pei family could remain peaceful on the surface, it would be fine. But if something bad happened again, I am afraid that the feud between them would be completely intensified.

After all, he almost died at the beginning. Even if he was the one who caused the loss, I would be very angry.I can't swallow it either.

Put yourself in other people's shoes.

Li Fu asked someone to call the owner of the teahouse.

"Starting from this afternoon, the teahouse will be closed and ready to be cleaned up. The tea shop will hold an auction here. When the time comes, you can communicate more with Deyuan to get this done. There are still two days to publicize the auction." Li Fu said.

Then he confirmed some details with the owner.

"This private room is reserved. I will come in advance on the day and come in through the back door. Our whereabouts must not be known to outsiders, and we must not be seen by outsiders, understand?" Li Fu said.

If the people who came on the day saw that the emperor was also here, they might not dare to bid openly.

Wouldn't that be a loss?

"Yes, my lord, don't worry, I will make arrangements." The owner hurriedly responded.

The teahouse is also their own property. I left a room out and waited for people to come and see the excitement on the day. This kind of thing is most interesting to watch on the spot.

The reason why the emperor left the palace this time was mainly to see the excitement here. How could he disappoint the emperor?

Taking this opportunity, Li Fu also wanted to see how deep the "foundation" of those aristocratic families with deep foundations was, and how much could be taken out of these ten boxes of tea.

Li Fu was not the only one who had this idea.

There were also people in the palace who thought so.

In the Liangyi Hall, Changsun Wuji asked.

"Your Majesty, is there no news about what the King of Jingyang is going to do?"

He wanted to prepare in advance, and go to see it secretly with Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others to find out the bottom.

"Yes, I heard that they are already preparing. The emperor left the palace for this matter. The emperor also wanted to see the excitement. It is estimated that it will take only two days." Li Shimin said, "Why, you are also interested?"

Fang Xuanling smiled and nodded.

"Your Majesty, we are also interested, but our interest is not in tea."
