Think about the Sui and Tang Dynasties again. The biggest power in the country at that time was nothing more than clans and warlords. The clans were developed by the Han people since the Three Kingdoms period. After the Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, they finally grew to the point where they could control the economy and culture of the entire country.
Keeping pace with the clans is the Guanlong military group that originated in the Northern Wei Dynasty, the so-called Twelve Generals of the Eight Pillar Kingdom.
The most famous among the eight military families are the Yuwen family, which is the family of Yu Wenhuaji, Yuwenshi and the family. The Dugu family is Yang Jian's father-in-law's family, and Li Yuan's biological mother is the daughter of the Dugu family.
Of course, the most famous one is of course the Li family in Taiyuan. The Li family, the rulers of the Tang Dynasty, is a household name in China and is well known to everyone.
Clan clans and warlords were the two major political forces in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Any smarter emperor would have understood that he had to win over these two groups to make his empire more stable.
However, the Sui Dynasty gave birth to Emperor Sui Yang. This emperor was talented and resourceful but impatient to compete with Qin Shihuang. However, he chose another way to govern the country. He wanted to centralize power and seize power from the clans and warlords.
Emperor Sui Yang of the Three Conquests of Goryeo may not have had the secret intention of using foreigners to weaken the power of the warlords. The introduction of widespread imperial examinations was nothing more than tearing a hole in the civil service system controlled by the clans.
An emperor offended two major political groups at the time, and the fall of the Sui Dynasty was actually inevitable.
Li Yuan, Li Shimin and the others are still smart. They understand that time is the ruler's best weapon, so they must seize power slowly, little by little, and even let their sons and grandsons come.
If you don't know how to use a soft knife to cut flesh when governing a country, then sooner or later the ruler will become a prey to the knife.
Xiao Letian patted his bulging belly, leaned on the back of the Grand Master's chair and stretched out, "It's so comfortable when the sun is shining brightly. Those sneaky scholars spend their whole lives studying, studying and studying this kind of thing... They study too much." It’s so deep that I can’t extricate myself, so deep that I think this is the golden rule.”
"You, a group of literati, have been active in the past dynasties. What you can't do is just dodge before the transfer of power, use your own knowledge to secretly absorb a little power for yourself, and attach yourself to major forces to act as think tanks."
"It's really amazing. After thousands of years of flashing around, you actually formed a powerful civil servant group, which has firmly controlled China for most of the time since the Song Dynasty..."
"You stubbornly believe that the destiny of a dynasty is to share the world with someone. In your eyes, the establishment of a dynasty is nothing more than the alliance of several major power groups..."
"Hey...it's still the past herdsman mentality. Common people are all sheep, officials are all herdsmen, and a small group of social elites divide the resources of the entire country. In your eyes, those sheep are just a type of resource. "
Xiao Letian's eyes became colder and colder, "You always want to continue the game of power transfer. The power of the country is in your hands today and in his hands tomorrow. The change of dynasty is just a gamble that cannot be played. Someone flipped the table. Already..."
"You never know that just when you are stubborn and refuse to change, the outside world has carved a completely different path from yours, and they have mastered a powerful power that you cannot understand."
"And those sheep, those people you think are common people, untouchables, and grassroots... you think you can deceive them, exploit them, and use them as livestock and resources forever and ever, but you are wrong. In this era of fluctuating people's hearts, Billions of docile sheep have begun to gradually wake up..."
"Continue to indulge in the game of power. I want to avoid your filthy quagmire and carve out my own land of grandeur in the void. You can continue to grab those pieces of stinky meat..."
"Hahaha, do you want to know what my destiny is, Xiao Letian? Just dream, I won't tell you in the next life."
With a snap, Fuhui slapped the back of Xiao Letian's head, "You're going to kill me. You're talking nonsense about fate, Sui, Tang, Qin, and Han, or common people and aristocrats... You're going to kill me."
At this time, Xiao Lecai realized that his hand had been placed on his wife's butt just now. He didn't let go when he was stunned. Instead, he squeezed harder as his thoughts changed, making Fu Hui's face glow.
"Master keeps talking about destiny and destiny... You don't really want to make yourself king." Fu Hui looked at him resentfully.
With a snap, Xiao Letian slapped his plump and elastic butt again, "What are you thinking about? Why are you like the old guys in Sijiu City, you are always afraid that I will grab that chair... Let me tell you the truth, when The emperor is the biggest drudgery in the world, how can I be as free as I am now."
Fu Hui smiled and tapped his forehead, "You are just a stubborn monkey. If I really want to detain you in the Forbidden City, you will probably go crazy... So what you said, I will definitely letter."
Xiao Letian pulled his wife onto his lap with a smooth pull, and with a playful smile on his face, he put his hands into Fu Hui's arms. In just a few strokes, Fu Hui's body was covered in mud.
Perhaps this free and luxurious life made God jealous. After a while, Kung Fu Master Long's voice came from outside the house.
"Prime Minister, hurry up and leave. Something happened at the printing factory... something big happened."
As soon as the words "Printing House" popped out, Xiao Letian felt like there was a spring under his butt. He left his wife and rushed out. "What happened? Is it serious or not..."
Xiao Letian rushed out of the house and talked to Mr. Long while walking. Officials and guards from the Prime Minister's Mansion gathered around him along the way, and soon a small team was formed.
As soon as he walked around the moon door leading from the inner house to the outer house, he found Zai Chun walking towards this side. When he saw the master, he quickly shouted with a cry, "Master... I still don't understand what destiny is, just tell me." Bar……"
"Why are you so annoying, kid? I just want to save Ryukyu's destiny. Don't take the lead..."
"I'll go too." Zai Chun came to life as soon as he heard this. He ran a few steps and came to Xiao Letian's side, but the prime minister stopped him with a stern look this time.
"Don't follow me. The people I have to deal with this time are probably your relatives in Beijing. It's inconvenient for you to go... These people want to destroy my destiny, and I have reached the point where I can't do anything without taking action. .”
Zai Chun was stunned for a moment. He looked at Xiao Letian's walking back, carefully considered the last step and chased after him.
Note: The third update is here today. I hope you can throw some red envelopes at the main site and don’t fall off the list.
The customized printing initiated by readers this time is estimated to be about 600,000 words. The plot starts from Xiao Letian's time travel and ends with the Prime Minister of Ryukyu. The two books are a set, and it is estimated that it can be completed at about 50 yuan including the express fee.
This price is already very low. If it were a book sold in a normal bookstore, 600,000 words would be more than 100 words, not counting the courier fee.
Six Hundred Thousand has a rich plot, including Xiao Letian's time travel, the capital's quarrels with Confucian scholars, the writing of books, the bloody battle in Tanggu Special Administrative Region, and the Naha riots... and a series of wonderful stories are included in it. It is worth collecting.
