Datang: My Peerless Talent Has Been Exposed

Speaking of the Wang family, on the way here, the two patriarchs actually had a debate on whether to intercede for the Wang family. As a representative of the court, Zheng Shanguo hoped to save the life of the Wang family, at least to leave blood.

But the Patriarch of the Lu family resolutely opposed it, and the reason was very simple. In fact, if the Taiyuan Wang family was only accused of the crimes in the newspaper and a little something found out later, the whole family would not be imprisoned at all.

What really annoyed Li Shimin was the audacity of the Wang family!

A family that dared to mobilize troops to hide outside Chang'an City, and then directly attacked Zhuangzi where the Supreme Emperor lived, would be a strange thing if it did not get wiped out.

Perhaps in the view of the Wang family, various reasons and conditions can be used to make up for it afterwards, but that is just their own understanding.

In the eyes of Li Shimin and others, this is extremely arrogant!

Even if the Wang family only mobilized their own private soldiers at the beginning, they were able to mobilize the private soldiers outside Chang'an city without anyone noticing and launched them brazenly, which proves that these people did not take imperial power seriously at all.

Otherwise, even the commanding generals would know about avoiding military power. Before leading the army, they generally would not contact the soldiers below, just to avoid the taboo.

After all, after staying in an army for a long time, as a general in charge of the army, it is inevitable that he will establish prestige in the army and completely control the army, which is a bit bad for the imperial power.

But now, an aristocratic family can mobilize more than a thousand private soldiers with good combat power to secretly come to Chang'an to raise swordsmen. If this is not a crime, then how can Li Shimin be an emperor in the future?

Chapter 412 The New Thoughts of the Lu and Zheng Family

Li Shimin knew the purpose of the two Patriarchs entering the palace today, but he didn't care.

It can be seen from the previous arrangements of these two families that they planned to follow his path, and they were very smart to start with Zhang Nuo.

In this regard, Li Shimin is happy to see it succeed!

The aristocratic family is not a scourge, it is still his people in the final analysis!

Perhaps a family as domineering as the Wang family and expanding its influence in the court will make Li Shimin feel uncomfortable, but in fact, as far as ordinary families are concerned, Li Shimin has no intention of killing them together now.

One is the bad reputation. After all, these aristocratic families were actually funded and sponsored by his father when he raised troops in Taiyuan. This family has just wiped out them less than ten years after the founding of the country. The reputation is somewhat bad.

If it is the Wang family who seek death on their own, it goes without saying that they committed a taboo, but other aristocratic families are honest now, especially the Zheng family and the Lu family who are still actively following the trend, so they should be encouraged is.

At the same time, another aspect is that these aristocratic families are indeed quite influential, and there are countless elite children in the family. It would be a bit too wasteful to kill them all in such a muddle.

Didn't you see that no matter whether it's Zhang Nuo's side or his court, there is a severe shortage of people now?

Although Zhang Nuo has produced the cheapest books and paper, how is it so easy to cultivate scholars?Perhaps in the next few years, many available talents will emerge from the poor family, but for now, the aristocratic family is the biggest provider of talents.

This time the Lu family and the Zheng family came here together, and they thought it was nothing more than to express their attitude and reassure each other by the way. Li Shimin did not intend to pursue the other families to kill them all, nor did they have the wishful thinking to help the Wang family.

Therefore, the final meeting ended in such a pleasant atmosphere of eating and drinking.

However, as soon as they walked out of the palace gate and got into the carriage, the faces of the two who were still smiling suddenly turned cold. Zheng Shanguo walked to the middle first and sat down and said inexplicably,

"It seems that we have to make a good plan in the new city. Now the conflict between the imperial power and the family is getting more and more intense, but His Majesty has not given us any real comfort. It seems that His Majesty has already put Our aristocratic family treats it as tasteless, it’s a pity to discard it if it’s tasteless to eat, there’s no need to spend a lot of money to be safe!”

The Patriarch of the Lu family also rubbed his cheeks at this time. He laughed all the way just now, his cheeks hurt, and he muttered,

"That's the way it is. Although His Majesty is not a tyrant who kills the good and the virtuous, he is a lord of the generation after all. Just like the royal family, he thought that His Majesty would be scruples about this and that, and he would not dare to do anything. You have seen it!"

"Although we are bowing our heads, we are giants with profound foundations after all. Do you think His Majesty really has no fear of us? It's a fluke not to weaken us with cruel hands. Any consolation and appeasement are just passing by. !"

"It's funny to say the old man, but now that His Majesty didn't make an order to appease us, the old man was relieved. If he really got a bunch of rewards today, the old man would be terrified. You know, the more glamorous flowers are when they are blooming and the oil is cooked over a fire." The deeper the shadow, the deeper it is!"

"It's so flat now, everyone is comfortable! Shan Guo, what do you think?"

Zheng Shanguo nodded dejectedly,

"It seems that you are right, old brother. After all, he is a great Confucian in the world, and his disposition is much more transparent than that of me who hang around in the officialdom!"

"However, hehe, the old man has figured it out now, since His Majesty wants me to retreat from the court, then my Zheng family will retreat!"

Speaking of this, Zheng Shanguo laughed like an old fox,

"However, even though we withdrew from the imperial court, it's fine if the titles that grandma doesn't like and uncle don't love don't matter. Anyway, the left and right are junior positions!"

"However, this old man decided to keep an eye on those juniors working in Lantian New Town. Since I, Zheng Jiaerlang, are lucky enough to be an official of this new city this time, then this old man has to supervise them well so that these kids can really grow up!"

"Haha, when your majesty transfers people from the new city to the court, the six departments, and other places, I, Zheng Jiaerlang, will be the ones who rank high. I can't blame the old man. Hahaha, the old man knows where Mr. Zhang is. What is pursued is that the capable go up and the mediocre go down!"

The Patriarch of the Lu family also nodded with a smile, that's right, this is a cunning scheme, a contest on the surface, whether you Li Shimin or Li Chengqian, the officials you provide and the scholars you recruit are no match for other families My son, what's there to say.

In this regard, the head of the Lu family is as confident as the head of the Zheng family. The Zheng family is confident that Zheng Jiaerlang can stand out among the ruling officials, and the Lu family's confidence is that Lu Jiaerlang is definitely the best teacher and scholar.

This point does not even need to compete or pursue something to stand out, but his children will definitely be able to do it!

After all, his Lu family is really superior in this respect, and he definitely has such confidence!

The two patriarchs now understand how the family will go. In other words, the complete destruction of the Taiyuan Wang family has made them more aware of how to keep the family going.

That is to never underestimate the power of the royal family. When an emperor really decides to destroy a family, he only needs to move his mouth.

They don't need to think about anything else at this time, they just need to figure out how to train their children well in Lantian New Town.

However, since they want to follow the path of Mr. Zhang, the two old foxes feel that it is not enough to just invest in some young men?After all, it could be said to be investment and betting in the past, but now it seems that it has found a way out for the family, and it is also a way to reach the sky.

And Master Xiao Zhang is not completely without manpower, if Master Xiao Zhang speaks to His Majesty, as long as His Majesty squeezes, he will definitely be able to spare some of the manpower for Master Xiao Zhang.

Then it only takes one or two years to train a group of outstanding talents from the old and the new. Then the talent dilemma will be solved by then, won't it?

Therefore, this transaction between them and Mr. Zhang is far from being at the level of giving charcoal in a timely manner!

These two patriarchs are elites who have been in the world for many years and know the world best. Therefore, in their view, since the needs of both parties have changed, their status has also changed.

They used to be equal, even a little higher, but after His Majesty took action against the Wang family, their status has dropped, so they have to make up for it quickly. Marriage is a good way!
