The struggle for power is bloody
No matter how hard Li Shimin controls the overall situation, what is due will eventually come.
Li Tai himself was more talented than Li Chengqian, so he naturally followed his original trajectory and attracted the loyalty of many young scribes.
Li Tai also treated these scribes with high standards. At the end of summer and the arrival of autumn, he held a banquet at the Yaoyue Tower in Chang'anli and invited many literati to come and enjoy the bright moon in autumn.
And he even shamelessly came to Li Mingda's mansion to ask for some Baijiang and Zuimenglai.
It can be said that a lot of money was spent.
Li Tai is also in a good mood recently
why
When competing with Li Chengqian and Li Ke for official positions in the three provinces and six ministries in the court, most of them won with him.
There are more and more supporters in the court.
Moreover, Li Ke and himself had a tacit understanding to suppress Li Chengqian, and the two of them used various methods against Li Chengqian's people without knowing it.
Poaching
These are simple.
Due to the nationwide thorough investigation of religious affairs, officials loyal to the three men were more or less involved in the case.
Li Tai and Li Ke chose to cooperate completely in a tacit understanding, and Li Chengqian did some tricks to save some people.
Li Tai and Li Ke saw the opportunity and made various reports to Marble who was investigating the case. Sometimes they even went directly to Li Mingda's house to find Murong Xue who was involved in the case and gave the information face to face.
This appearance was overjoyed for Li Shimin. He really didn't expect that his son would be so supportive of his career.
A blind eye, Lao Li
Li Mingda was too lazy to care about these matters. Anyway, he had already suggested to Lao Li to separate the general power.
Changsun Wuji, the fat little black man, had nothing to do. The military cabinet consisted of Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde, Niu Jinda, Qin Qiong, and Li Ji. Fang Xuanling was responsible for half of the effort in contacting civilian officials.
After the formation of the military cabinet, Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and Li Ke were greatly disappointed. Why, this was cutting off their channel to intervene in the military.
Fortunately, Li Ke himself had the support of some veterans of the Sui Dynasty. Some of these people were in command of local troops. They had recruited many generals and colonels over the years and their power had expanded a lot.
In this regard, Li Mingda said, you idiots, those generals are the seeds we sow. If you make trouble, the biggest beneficiary will be us.
Li Tai was far behind. He could only start with literature. Scholars managed the people's livelihood. Li Tai unanimously believed that "the people are water and the king is the boat. Water can also carry a boat and capsize it." This sentence is It makes sense, as long as people's livelihood is concerned.
Moreover, he was shrewd and promoted his strong support for Li Mingda's new learning policy, bragging about the benefits of the new learning in various ways, thinking that Li Mingda would look at him differently or help him at a critical moment.
However, Li Mingda said that you can stay here as long as you like, don't bother me, I'm busy.
Li Tai was frustrated, and finally had to find a way to find some officials from the Sixth Department to explain professional knowledge to him, so that he would not know everything when chatting with the scholars.
If Li Tai devoted his energy to studying knowledge, he would definitely become a writer, but it is a pity that he used it in the wrong place.
In Yao Yue Lou
Li Tai and the scholars toasted and chatted with each other and had a great time.
“Students admire His Highness the King of Wei’s literary proficiency”
"His Royal Highness the King of Wei is impressed by the new learning's views."
"Your Highness, King Wei, will the new learning really replace the current Four Books and Five Classics in the future?"
Li Taimich, who weighed 200 pounds, nodded with his eyes: "This is inevitable. Newly learned things are very practical. There is no need for the court to train them for three to five years after they are selected, and there will not be some people who are ignorant of grains and grains." "Mediocre people who know the solar terms and the sufferings of the people"
"Then, Your Highness, what should we do who have only studied the Four Books and Five Classics?"
"This imperial sister still offers a way out, which is teaching. If you become a teacher, you will teach and educate people. The court will give you official positions according to the number of years of teaching. Although you do not have the right to participate in the government, you will still have some salary and benefits."
Scholar: "Your Highness, is this true?"
Li Tai nodded: "This is my father's approval. These have not been officially implemented. You also know that many of Enke's failed civil and military officers have gone to the frontiers. This is where they are. According to Jin Yang, these people are Pilot, test the results, and see what improvements are needed. Once the system is perfected, it will be officially promoted."
Scholars: "Well, even if you can't be an official, it's still good to educate people."
"Yes, the world is full of peaches and plums, and life is worth it."
"Well, just like Confucius"
"When it comes to light"
"Drink"
Li Ke also took the opportunity to invite some supporters to drink and listen to music in his mansion.
The beautifully dressed young ladies were singing and dancing, which made Li Ke feel so happy.
My unreliable father-in-law is finished, and the religious matters that were discovered some time ago also brought him out.
good guy
Not to mention the wealth of many people, there are also those who kill people and silence them.
And he also built a fake temple and Taoist temple, where he did some dirty things.
The case is serious
Involved in more than 100 cases
Thousands of casualties
There is even more money
This was the biggest case in the case. Due to a lot of resistance, Li Shimin didn't believe it at first. Cheng Yu had no choice but to ask Murong Xue to ask Li Mingda for help.
Later, Li Mingda personally went to the palace to get the military talisman from Lao Li. He sent troops and generals to go up together with the Baiqisi of the Jinyi Guards, and directly forced their way into the mansion of Li Ke's father-in-law, and arrested him for trial.
His father-in-law was finished, and the arrogant and domineering princess naturally changed from a peacock to a quail, and she honestly didn't dare to scream anymore.
You have to ask, if your father-in-law is gone and your biggest supporter is gone, why would you be happy?
That belongs to the princess and other concubines.
Concubine, concubine and so on.
In the past, Yang Yu's unreliability made it difficult for him to do it, but now that he was done, he directly married the daughter and granddaughter of three capable supporters.
Because of the righteousness of killing relatives and the arrival of new help.
Li Ke's influence not only did not decrease but increased a lot, and Li Ke's mother was so angry at what Yang Yu did that she asked Lao Li to directly demote Li Ke's princess Yang.
The banquet between the two lasted for a long time and did not end until late at night.
One of the two was naturally resting at home, being served by the servants, while the other was escorted back to the palace by the guards.
When Li Ke passed by his garden, his stomach kept churning after drinking too much, and an uncontrollable force surged out of his stomach.
vomit
Li Ke lowered his head and vomited
An arrow struck the servant behind him.
Almost at the same time, an arrow appeared on the heart of the driver Li Tai was driving.
