"As for that steward, I will take the portrait given by Lao Liu and look for him everywhere. However, it is unlikely that I can find him..." Li Shimin said slowly under the cold moonlight.
Xiao Han curled his lips: "Hey, you don't have to search hard! He does such a thing, and he can detect something bad in advance and hide. Where can we find such a person?"
"Haha, no, no! Whether you look for it or not is the result, but whether you look for it or not is our attitude!" When he said this, Li Shimin turned to look at Xiao Han again.
I don't know if it was because of the cold moonlight, but Xiao Han saw a hint of forlornness in Li Shimin's eyes! It's like he already knows who did this!
"What do you think of Yang Guang?"
While Xiao Han was still in a daze, Li Shimin suddenly changed the topic and asked a question that he had never thought about.
"Yang Guang?" Xiao Han was stunned for a moment, wondering why Li Shimin suddenly brought the topic to this person.
Li Shimin saw Xiao Han stunned, but then he smiled: "Yes, it's Yang Guang. What do you think of him?"
Xiao Han scratched his head and said with a strange expression: "He? As you know, I'm not very familiar with him..."
Li Shimin rolled his eyes, raised his legs and cursed with a smile: "Get out! I'm not asking you to compare me with him. I'm just asking him how he is as an emperor?"
When Xiao Han saw Li Shimin raising his leg to kick, he quickly dodged and then patted the corner of his clothes proudly and said with a smile: "Hey, he didn't kick!"
After saying that, he suddenly saw that Li Shimin looked like he was about to rush over again, and he quickly waved his hand and said, "Wait! You have something to say, why are you so violent?"
Li Shimin's nose was almost crooked with anger: "Do something? You're not a beauty! Why don't you tell me now!"
"What do you mean? If I were a beautiful woman, you would be able to do anything to me? You old pervert!"
He muttered secretly, and when Xiao Han saw Li Shimin's unkind expression, he shrank his neck and recalled, "Yang Guang? I used to have a bad feeling about him! I always felt that this man was too talented and ambitious, and he was too ambitious. Loyalty, insisting on going your own way, in short, there is no good place. But this time when I went to Jiangnan, I suddenly felt that it seemed that this was not all the case!"
"Oh? What did you find?" Li Shimin put his foot down and asked with interest.
Xiao Han smiled bitterly and said: "It's not that I discovered anything, it's just that I feel that Jiangnan doesn't seem to hate Yang Guang as much as other areas!
Logically speaking, Yang Guang basically lived in the south of the Yangtze River. If he really harmed people, he should also harm the land of the south of the Yangtze River! But the place is still prosperous, the people's livelihood is superior, and even the administration seems to be clearer than other places. "
"So you think the charges against Yang Guang are due to other reasons?" Li Shimin stared at Xiao Han and asked thoughtfully.
Xiao Han shook his head and said: "That's not entirely true. At least he still has the problem of not knowing people well and being too ambitious! Otherwise, it would be impossible to conquer Goguryeo with a million troops, only to be completely defeated and cause chaos in the world!"
"Hey... what you said is also true!"
After hearing Xiao Han say this, Li Shimin suddenly stopped, looked at the bright moon in the sky and sighed deeply: "But there is one most important point, why don't you say it?"
"What's important..." When Xiao Han heard this, his heart moved, and two words blurted out instantly: "Aristocratic family?!"
"Yes!" Li Shimin stared at Xiao Han and nodded slowly: "It's a noble family!"
Xiao Han knew which aristocratic families Li Shimin was talking about, and he also knew that they were the force that could not be ignored throughout the Sui Dynasty and the early Tang Dynasty!
Geniuses like Yang Guang, toughness like Li Shimin, and villains like Li Zhi. Three consecutive generations of emperors were unable to do anything about them!
Only under the hands of the unreasonable Wu Zetian, these aristocratic families were removed one by one and swept into the garbage heap of history!
From this point, we can see how powerful the family is! It can also be said that the history of blood and tears in Yang Guang's life is inseparable from them!
The purpose of establishing the imperial examination was to prevent aristocratic families from sending their children to the imperial court!
The purpose of building the canal is to get rid of the country's food and economy being led by the neck.
The purpose of conquering Goguryeo was to consume the power of the family!
And if this battle is won, Yang Guang will be able to wield the power of victory and wipe out the power of the aristocratic families in the country who are unwilling to listen to his command!
I have to say that even from Xiao Han's perspective, these three steps are still a method that only a genius can come up with!
However, even though Yang Guang is such a genius, he also has shortcomings, and this shortcoming is that he is too idealistic!
Perhaps Yang Guangluo, who was too intoxicated with his own abilities and imagined everything to be simple, forgot one thing: all the changes he wanted to make needed people to implement them! But back then, in the court, the only people who could carry out these tasks were the power of the aristocratic family!
Then, the noble family will obediently do things for him and tie the noose around his neck?
Daydreaming!
As a result, the imperial examination and official selection system was full of shady secrets and was almost empty.
The construction of the Grand Canal was unclear, and people like Ma Shumou were corrupt and used their power for personal gain. If no money was given, the canal would be planned to pass over the tombs of ancestors, and if money was given, it would be diverted! Even later, Xiaojing had enough delicacies and developed to feed on three or four-year-old children! It made everyone in the world angry.
The most important of them was Goguryeo.
Not only was he restricted by domestic forces at every turn, but whenever he was about to win, someone would always jump out and act like a monster, causing all of Yang Guang's previous preparations to fail!
Of course, saying this does not exculpate Yang Guang, nor can it absolve him.
Because things like these are problems that an emperor should solve in advance! Instead of knowing that there are these problems, still insisting on moving forward, and finally pulling the balls and knocking yourself down in pain.
"What do you mean, the person who instigated Li Yuanjing is the work of the noble family? Their target is not only me, but also you?!" Thinking clearly about the tragedy of Yang Guang's life, Xiao Han suddenly flashed like a thunderbolt in his mind, and he understood instantly What did Li Shimin want to say before?
"Haha, you're not stupid!" Li Shimin glanced at Xiao Han happily.
"But, what is their purpose for doing this? They don't want to fight the Turks?" Xiao Han asked Li Shimin in shock.
"Hey..." Li Shimin sighed, rolled his eyes at Xiao Han and said, "Everyone in the world has his or her own thoughts. Do you really think that everyone has the same thoughts as you and me? That place has nothing to do with* The Turks and Turks are bordering each other, so there must be profitable trade between the two parties. If this happens, do you think those people will hope that the Turks will fall? Cut off their financial path?"
"Is there a traitor among the crowd?!" Xiao Han almost jumped up when he heard this! But soon, he remembered something was wrong.
"If I'm telling you, why didn't they find other ways to destroy the food instead of going through all the trouble and letting Li Yuanjing be the villain?"
"Hmph..."
Li Shimin sneered, his voice serious: "Because they don't dare to make a big show of it!"
