Datang: Starting from Li Jiancheng

Chapter 123 Luo Bin's Temptation

Xu Chen smiled after saying this, "I drank too much yesterday and said a lot of things that shouldn't be mentioned again."

"The matter has passed for a long time, and I have long since let go. You two adults don't have to feel sorry for me."

"Sometimes there must be fate, and there is always time in fate. Don't force it. I have participated in two scientific examinations and ended up with this result. Maybe God doesn't want me to be in the list."

Luo Bin frowned when he heard the words, and then said with some admiration: "You are so transparent."

Xu Chen also laughed at himself when he heard this, "So what if it's not transparent?"

"Rather than let me be an official in the same dynasty with some villains pretending to be vegetarians, it's better to be a free man in the market."

"Although the days are a bit bitter, but fortunately, I am chic."

After saying that, Xu Chen cupped his hands at Luo Bin again and said: "Master Hou, I have been disturbing you here for a long time, if Master Hou has nothing to say, I will leave first."

"Okay, if you have any trouble in the future, you are welcome to come to Wuhou Mansion to find me." Luo Bin nodded and said solemnly.

Xu Chen smiled faintly at Luo Bin, and then went out.

After Xu Chen left, Changsun Wuji frowned suddenly and said, "Fortunately, he is a transparent person, otherwise the rest of his life would be extremely miserable."

Luo Bin lowered his eyes and smiled when he heard the words, but in the end he didn't answer.

Because he knew that if Xu Chen really didn't care as much as he showed on his face, he wouldn't have gotten so drunk yesterday.

After a long time, Luo Bin raised his eyes to look at Changsun Wuji, and said in a deep voice, "So now I dare to ask Mr. Changsun, what do you think of the actions of these aristocratic families?"

Changsun Wuji heard that the creases between his brows deepened a little, and he said in a deep voice after a long time: "For all their so-called, I am extremely shameless."

"But the Marquis should also know that the aristocratic family has been based for hundreds of years, and even has a troubled emperor. It is said that the aristocratic family is iron-clad. How easy is it to move them?"

Having said this, Changsun Wuji sighed deeply, with a sad expression on his face.

It is precisely because of the replacement of scientific examinations, bribery of examiners, and large sums of money to buy questions and other incidents that the aristocratic family quickly occupied half of the court like an ant colony.

Nowadays, the power of the aristocratic family is growing, and it has even seriously threatened the imperial power.

Li Shimin also discussed this issue with him countless times, but most of the results were unclear.

After all, this kind of thing can affect the whole body. If something goes wrong, it is likely to cause dissatisfaction among the aristocratic families and attack Li Shimin.

But now that they have just experienced the war between the two countries, the troops are insufficient and the people's hearts are not stable. If they really provoke the aristocratic family, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji sighed again, "Now, as long as they don't do too much, His Majesty will probably be able to turn a blind eye."

"........."

Luo Bin frowned, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Not too much? How can it be not too much?"

"They used their own children to replace those really talented students to become officials in the court. Not only did they ruin other people's lives, but they are more likely to have cholera in the court in the future!"

Luo Bin pursed his lips into a straight line, looked at Changsun Wuji with a frown, and continued: "Master Changsun, if we don't take some measures now, when the power of the aristocratic family really spreads all over the court one day, I'm afraid it will be too late." late."

"Perhaps that day is still a long time away, and perhaps the emperor at that time is no longer His Majesty, and the eldest grandson no longer has to worry about court affairs."

"But can the current Lord Changsun bear to watch the country he won with His Majesty being disintegrated by the family bit by bit?"

Changsun Wuji asked how the creases between his brows deepened, and there was an obvious tangle on his face.

After a long time, he sighed deeply and frowned: "Of course I don't want to!"

"But His Majesty can't even do this, so how can we do it?"

"Yes!" Luo Bin raised his eyebrows slightly, with a bit of cunning in his eyes, and then said: "Although this move is a bit slow, it is definitely a method."

"But I think we should be brave enough to try now, so as not to lose the opportunity. What do you think, Master Elder Sun?"

Luo Bin's words successfully aroused Changsun Wuji's nature. Although Changsun Wuji was still wary of Luo Bin, he couldn't help but pursed his lips, "What can the Marquis do, let's hear it."

"The reason why the aristocratic family is in, apart from their own deep roots, is that there is another most important reason, that is, they are united enough."

Luo Bin raised his eyebrows, and continued: "No matter how much their family fights among themselves, when the family is in trouble, all the families will immediately form a group and unanimously speak out."

"Because no matter how powerful they are, they are still too small in front of the imperial power, so they understand the principle of both prosperity and loss."

Speaking of this, Luo Bin took a sip of Peach Blossom Drunk, then chuckled and said: "Now that we have figured out the reason, we need to prescribe the right medicine."

"Since they are good at sticking together, let's break them up one by one."

Changsun Wuji became even more interested when he heard the words, "How to break it?"

"Where should I start?"

"Bingzhou." Luo Bin spit out two words lightly.

Changsun Wuji's face darkened when he heard the words, and he looked at Luo Bin with some complicated eyes.

Obviously, Luo Bin wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife.

After all, the person who manages Bingzhou now is Hou Junji. If Bingzhou starts to rectify the aristocratic family, then Hou Junji will definitely become the family's public enemy.

When the time comes, Li Shimin will definitely give up his chariot to protect his commander and remove Hou Junji, and then Luo Bin can retake Bingzhou.

Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji pursed his lips and stopped talking.

And Luo Bin also saw Changsun Wuji's thoughts, chuckled and said: "Master Changsun, don't think too much, there is a reason why I chose to start with Bingzhou."

"........."

Changsun Wuji glanced at Luo Bin with complicated eyes.

Of course the old man knows you have a reason!You bastard!
"First of all, except for Bingzhou, which is ruled by General Hou, the other places are under the jurisdiction of the fifth-rank governor."

"And the third-rank governor is in charge of Shangzhou. The gentry in those places have too deep roots. We can't move it with our current ability."

"If you want to disintegrate this family one by one, you must start with the most inconspicuous ones. Let them be indifferent at the beginning, and by the time they react, they will be powerless to return."

"And as far as I know, Bingzhou is inhabited by the remnants of Qinghe Cui's family, and the person who manages Bingzhou is not a fifth-rank governor who speaks lightly, but Lord Hou Junji!"

"In this case, even if those members of the Cui family want to take revenge at that time, they still have to weigh Lord Hou's position in His Majesty's heart, right?"
