Turbulent Times Chapter 1449: Li Yuan father and son

Taiyuan Li Yuan Group has been paying close attention to everything about Wang Junlin as early as three years ago. All the big and small things that happened in the eight counties under the rule of King Junlin were immediately caught by Li's spies using various methods. Sent to Taiyuan.

Especially every move made by the government under Wang Junlin's rule will be passed on to Li Yuan in Taiyuan as quickly as possible, and Li Yuan will know about it.

Moreover, compared to before, in just a few months, Li Yuan sent nearly half of his spies to infiltrate under Wang Junlin's rule, and inquired clearly about everything that happened in the eight counties in recent months.

Even when Wang Junlin came up with a new measure, Li Yuan would gather his sons and his confidantes in Taiyuan Tanggong Mansion for discussion and research, which would often lead to a chaotic big battle. Controversy, and even what happened in the eight counties under Wang Junlin's rule these days has become a hot topic of conversation among many staff and core figures of the Li Yuan Group.

Of course, some people have other thoughts or emotions because of discussing these things.

For example, Li Yuanji, the third son of Li Yuan, when he mentions Wang Junlin or the Far East Army, he thinks of his stupid brother Li Xuanba, because almost everyone puts the key to destroying Wang Junlin on his stupid brother. It made him jealous to death.

Li Yuanji actually hated and despised his younger brother, who was weak and sickly and somewhat stupid since he was a child.

But now this stupid younger brother whom I look down upon actually attracted half of my attention, while the other half was attracted by my second brother Li Shimin who I hate even more.

As for the eldest brother, after all, he is the eldest son, he is the heir of Duke Tang, and it is logical that he ranks first among the brothers, but Li Yuanji does not feel much jealousy or displeasure.

What upsets Li Yuanji the most is that his father always uses his silly younger brother Li Xuanba and second brother Li Shimin to educate him, and what he always talks about is "Look at your second brother... ..., look at your fourth brother..."

In this way, he became the worst of the four brothers, and the one who was most easily overlooked.

Envious, jealous,

He was full of complaints, but Li Yuanji didn't dare to do it in public, and he didn't even dare to show it in the slightest.

Because he knows that his father attaches great importance to family ties. If he dares to speak ill of his brother, he will be severely reprimanded by his father, and will be looked at by his father's staff and officials with eyes that drive him crazy. It would also be said that he is a selfish person with a sinister temperament and disregard for family ties.

This has a great impact on Li Yuanji, who has just grown up and started to form his own team and manage his own power, so for the long-term in his eyes, he has been holding back and pretending.

"Wang Junlin actually distributed most of the land of many nobles in the eight counties under his rule to those untouchables." After reading the whole newspaper, Shi Chen Yanshou, the head of Tang Gongfu, looked at Li Yuan, and saw that the latter was scornful. Nodding his head lightly, he pretended to be shocked and said loudly.

"Since Wang Junlin behaved like this, I don't think we need to call him. He is already going to betray his relatives."

"That's right, Wang Junlin is doing such stupid things forcibly right now, using his army and reputation to forcefully suppress him, and when he loses the battle one day, he will immediately be backlashed, even backlashed."

Chen Yanshou raised his head, and all the staff expressed their opinions one after another. Almost all of them thought that Wang Junlin was crazy. His own enemy, doesn't he know that for countless years, all dynasties and dynasties governed the country by relying on aristocratic families and noble landlords?

"I think that although Wang Junlin is powerful, he can only be a hero. It's just a dream if he is so short-sighted and wants to compete in the world." With the lessons learned from being scolded by his father a few times before, he will not easily express his thoughts and judgments before his father's confidantes or elder brother express their opinions.

"Hmph, Wang Junlin's move is indeed digging his own grave. The fourth brother Xuanba is extremely brave. There are few opponents in the world, but he is not good at strategy and planning. Father, the child thought that Xuanba should be secretly sent a trustworthy person." , and has outstanding abilities, and can stand alone, and can let Xuan Ba ​​listen to powerful people to assist Xuan Ba." Tang Guogong's son Li Jiancheng said solemnly

.

When Li Yuanji heard the eldest brother finally speak, he quickly said: "Father, my son also thought that Wang Junlin's move was to seek death on his own. Our focus now should be to plan how to let the fourth brother get Wang Junlin's strong troops. Let's come here."

Li Shimin glanced at his elder brother and third younger brother with a calm expression, then glanced at his father's staff who spoke just now, and sneered in his heart, these people dared to do this because Wang Junlin divided the fields of some noble landlords in eight counties To despise Wang Junlin, I simply don't know how to write the word "death".

"The son and the third son are right. Although Wang Junlin is powerful now, he is no longer a cause for concern. My number one enemy may be Li Mi." When Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanru talked, it was like opening a sluice gate , There were many discussions from the staff, and some people who were cautious and silent just now began to talk a lot. Hearing Li Shimin's head was like a fight, he wondered what his father was doing raising these wastes.

Aside from his own interests and the need for the support of powerful families and the aristocratic landlord class, Li Shimin actually admires Wang Junlin's boldness in ruling the eight counties.

Li Shimin also thinks where the chronic diseases of the Sui Dynasty lie, and knows that some things have already reached the point where they cannot be cured.

Li Shimin has never told anyone else that he has long believed that aristocratic families control local governments and courts, which makes many government orders with good intentions change in the process of implementation, because noble families always put family interests first. The interests of the court and the people have always been sidelined.

Therefore, the government never pays attention to the thoughts and sufferings of the common people, let alone go directly to the heavens. Even the life and death of the common people are seldom questioned.

The Great Sui Dynasty fell into such a field today, Yang Guang was fatuous and self-willed, and insisted on conquering Goguryeo several times, but the disastrous defeat was one of the reasons. A most fundamental and crucial factor.

However, Li Shimin also thought that Wang Junlin was too impatient.

If he is in the position of Wang Junlin, he can take it easy first, win the support of these noble landlords, and then compete in the world.
