Why does the emperor look at me like this?
Could it be that you have already seen the purpose of what I said?
Or should I say that the emperor has long been aware of the business arrangements that he has tried his best to hide in secret over the years...
Li Yuanjing is also very helpless!
He naturally knew the emperor's intention to feudalize the world, but he was really afraid that he would be crowned the King of Silla. How could he dare to bet that someone would stand up to oppose this?
I had no choice but to go into battle shirtless...
Many ministers glanced at Li Yuanjing in surprise. How could His Royal Highness King Jing, who had always been low-key and well-behaved, have the courage to contradict the emperor's will?
Taking the wrong medicine?
Only Fang Jun raised his eyelids and looked at Li Yuanjing, who had a solemn face. Thinking of his subsequent attempted rebellion, he guessed his intention.
After thinking about it in my mind, I felt that this was actually a good thing. Maybe, if I used it a little bit, I could give Li Ke an assist...
With his thoughts turning, he said: "Silla is surrounded by the world, and the world is attracting attention. If we don't entrust the royal family's children to succeed to the throne, how can we show that the Tang Dynasty attaches great importance to the vassal countries? The symbolic significance of this move is greater than the practical significance. The emperor guards the country, The king died in Sheji, and now the vassal state is entrusted to the royal children. Their descendants will be kings for generations, and they will be the vassals of the Tang Dynasty for generations. In this way, the morale of the whole country will be boosted internally, and the evil spirits will be frightened externally. In the long run, If a permanent example is formed, then all the east, west, north, south, and the southern frontier beyond the Great Wall will surrender and be under the wings of the empire. The prosperity of our Tang Dynasty will be spread over the world, and your majesty’s wisdom and might will shock the world, and for thousands of years, the world will be unified!"
His Majesty Li Er has no expression on his face, but anyone can see that the joy in his heart is revealed from the corners of his eyes and brows.
This emperor was wise and staunch, and he was no less generous than the wise emperors of ancient times. However, it was his temperament of being overjoyed with success that really made people complain...
The ministers watched with emotion as Fang Jun followed in the emperor's footsteps and was always "politically correct".
However, one's own interests conflict with the imperial power. If the imperial power family dominates, the interests that the aristocratic families rely on for inheritance will be harmed.
Who doesn’t want to have a good relationship with the emperor?
Who doesn’t want to be a loyal minister? ,
However, I can't do it...
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but look at Fang Xuanling, who was silent.
Fang Xuanling was born in a Shandong aristocratic family, but he was able to stand out from the Shandong aristocratic family group and establish his own business. He tightly tied his family's interests to His Majesty Li Er. position, the Fang family is the largest family in the Tang Dynasty!
Before this, the ministers were actually quite dissatisfied with Fang Xuanling's choice.
Because they know very well that although imperial power is the supreme power in the world, it cannot last forever. No matter how long an emperor lives, fifty or one hundred years later, the holy family members who once dominated the world will also follow the emperor. He left and disappeared into thin air.
On the contrary, the aristocratic families relied on the wings they cultivated in the imperial court, and continued from generation to generation, ten to eight generations, constantly fighting against the imperial power to ensure the interests of the family.
One is wealth and glory for decades, and the other is a prominent family that lasts for generations. Smart people will naturally choose the latter.
But now, everyone suddenly discovered that not only was Fang Xuanling favored by His Majesty Li Er, but his son Fang Jun's future status in the eyes of the prince seemed to be no less important than his father's to the emperor, and even more so.
And under the emperor's determined suppression, is it possible for the noble families in the world to survive the decades of two generations of emperors?
What's more, judging from the current situation, it is the unswerving ambition of the Tang Dynasty royal family to suppress the clans and reduce the number of aristocratic families. Even the successor of the prince in the future will most likely continue the legacy of his ancestors, as long as the aristocratic families If we don't fall, suppression will be everywhere...
By that time, the Fang family may no longer have the prominent authority of Fang Xuanling, Fang Jun and his son, but the shadow of their ancestors is still there. As long as the descendants are not too unworthy, they can share the glory and wealth with the country. As long as there are one or two outstanding descendants during this period, the family's rejuvenation will be just around the corner.
And what about the family members?
I am afraid that it has long been lost in the long river of time, and has become symbols and paragraphs in history books. The glory and splendor of the past, the domineering power of building a foreign country and destroying a country, can only be left to be admired and respected by future generations, and passed down by word of mouth...
Viewed in this way, the fate of the Fang family is already in opposition to the rise and fall of the family. Either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind. There is an opposition between the two.
So far, and in the foreseeable future, the Fang family has the upper hand.
Fang Xuanling is really scheming...
One or two, it is inevitable that the mind will become active.
During the reform of the imperial examination system, many aristocratic families have already made concessions, levied commercial taxes, and made another concession. Under the fierce and domineering momentum of His Majesty Li Er, the aristocratic families have retreated again and again. So, is the matter of feudal Silla going to happen? Continue to give in?
Or should we resolutely resist and stick to the bottom line?
When there is doubt, there will be hesitation, and when there is hesitation, there will be disagreement.
Xiao Yu straightened his back and said in agreement: "King Wu founded the country and divided the clans into feudal lords. Each of them was a prince in the world. He feudalized the world and defended the capital. This has enabled the Zhou Dynasty to maintain its power for eight hundred years. Now, your majesty follows the example of the forefathers and uses the descendants of the clan to screen the four sides of the vassal and defend the divine state. Chixian, the Tang Dynasty must be like the Zhou Dynasty, the country will be long and the country will be eternal."
Fang Jun suddenly felt as if he had eaten a fly.
After all, you, Xiao Yu, are also a veteran of three dynasties and a leader of scholars. Do you want to show your support for me without any principles?
I'm not your uncle...
The ministers also looked sideways and showed disdain.
Isn’t this your uncle, just rolling up his sleeves and showing off?
In the beginning, those who opposed His Majesty Li Er's imperial edict to feudal the world were led by Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Xiao Yu. Now it's better. Except for Du Ruhui, who died long ago, the rest are now all Everyone agrees with the feudal world...
Although times have changed, such a complete change in political orientation is extremely rare.
This made Li Yuanjing feel so angry that he almost exploded!
Are you really going against me? !
This is simply unreasonable!
However, one is the most popular rising star in the eyes of the emperor, and the other is the leader of the imperial sergeants. If His Highness King Jing wants to fight with him, he really doesn't have enough weight. The most important thing is that he still can't figure out Li Er. Your Majesty's thoughts...
Li Yuanjing is a little timid.
Judging from the situation, the general trend of the feudal world was irreversible. He could only pray that he was not the candidate for King of Silla in the emperor's eyes.
This is his biggest shortcoming at the moment. There is no important minister to look out for him.
Even though Xue Wanche, Zhi Shisili and others all held military power and commanded the army, and were trusted by His Majesty Li Er, they did not have much voice in the court.
This feeling of having your destiny held in the hands of others is not wonderful...
Fang Jun glanced at Li Yuanjing, who looked panic-stricken, coughed, and said: "Your Majesty clearly knows that although Silla is remote and the land is barren, as the first vassal state to request and present the jade seal of its credential, it has great The Tang Dynasty should pay attention to it, regardless of military, commercial and other aspects, and should pay special attention to it. It can not only appease the hearts of the people of Silla, but also make the surrounding barbarians envious, and set a precedent for future imitation. Therefore, he went to Silla to succeed Xinluo. The candidate for the king of Luo should have both a prominent status and outstanding abilities. Only in this way can the people of Silla feel the importance of the Tang Dynasty, and can also lay a good foundation for the governance of Silla. Therefore, the minister recommends Jing Your Highness, go to Silla..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yuanjing almost jumped up and cursed!
Mother!
You little bastard, why do I have to worry about you? Why do I have to target you so many times?
Before he could express his objection, Xiao Yu over there had already nodded in agreement and said: "The advice of the Prince Consort, I think it is feasible. His Royal Highness King Jing has a steady temperament, wisdom and generosity. He is of the blood of the late emperor and deeply trusted by his majesty. He will succeed the new emperor." The throne of Luo is the most reliable candidate to serve as the emperor's guardian and protector of Liaodong."
Li Yuanjing's face was livid, and he wanted to tear Xiao Yu into pieces and swallow him one bite at a time!
After all, you are of age and seniority here, why don't you support Fang Jun so unscrupulously? What do you say to others?
Would you like some Bilian? !
Gritting his teeth, Li Yuanjing struggled and said: "The humble minister is too frightened to be praised by the prince's consort and the Duke of Song... Silla has a lot of connections, and the humble minister has little talent and little virtue, how can he dare to take on such an important responsibility? He is really scared. Your Majesty's disciples are all wise and wise, whether they are the King of Wei or the King of Wu, they are all capable of their duties. I hope your Majesty will learn from it..."
