Chapter 1921 I have a grudge against you?
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 he has tried so hard to conceal 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 matter?
I have 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 the solemn-looking Li Yuanjing, thinking of his subsequent attempted rebellion and guessing his intentions.
After thinking about it in my mind, I felt that this was actually a good thing. Maybe, with a little use, 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 the country, and now the royal family's descendants are entrusted with land and vassal states. Their descendants will be kings for generations. As a side of the Tang Dynasty, this will boost the morale of the whole country internally, and frighten the demons and monsters externally. If things go on like this, it will form a permanent rule, and all the east, west, south, north and south outside the Great Wall will surrender and be under the wings of the empire. Our country of the Tang Dynasty The world will be prosperous and prosperous, and your majesty’s wisdom and power will shake the world for thousands of years, and 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 strong, and he was no less generous than the wise emperors of ancient times. However, he only had this temperament of being overjoyed with success, which really made people slander him...
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.
As for the aristocratic families in the world, under the emperor's determination to suppress them, is it possible for them 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 family and reduce the number of aristocratic families. Even the successor of the prince in the future is very likely to continue the legacy of his ancestors. As long as the aristocratic family can 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 live with the country in glory and wealth. 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 of text 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 by future generations and passed down by word of mouth...< br>
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 for the foreseeable future, the Fang family has the upper hand.
Fang Xuanling is really wily and 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 further concessions. 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 court 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. His 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 attach great importance to it, regardless of military, commercial and other aspects, and should pay special attention to it, which can not only appease the hearts of the people of Silla, but also make the surrounding people Envy, setting a precedent for future imitation. Therefore, the candidate who goes to Silla to succeed the Silla King should have a prominent status and outstanding abilities. Only in this way can the people of Silla feel the importance of the Tang Dynasty. It can also lay a good foundation for the governance of Silla. Therefore, I recommend His Royal Highness King Jing to 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 pastor and protector of Liaodong."
Li Yuanjing's face turned 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 afraid and dare not be praised by the prince consort and the Duke of Song... Silla is a land of great 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 terrified. 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..." Brothers, have a happy New Year! I’ve been playing like crazy these past two days, and I’ve lost all my saved manuscripts, so today’s update is a bit late, guilty!
