Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Page 848

Yu Shinan squinted his eyes and asked back: "You mean the matter of supporting Qingliu to form a lineage with the underprivileged children of Shilin, checking and balancing the achievements of Tiance Mansion such as Changsun Wuji, and reducing the influence of the Guanlong family from the local area to the imperial court. something?"

Guo Ye hummed, and nodded again and again.At the same time, he did not forget to glance at Chen Kang and Chen Zhongda, the leaders of the poor students in the world.

Chen Kang said softly: "To be honest, Mr. Guo. Yesterday, the emperor sent someone to Sheyang Academy to summon the students into the palace."

"What?"

Guo Ye was surprised for a moment, and asked: "The emperor actually summoned you on his own initiative? That means there is something wrong with this matter. Then why is there no further comment?"

"Cough cough cough..."

Yu Shinan coughed a few times, and said in a low voice: "Actually, the emperor agreed to summon the old man the night before the Supreme Emperor issued an edict to sin against himself. There is indeed something interesting about what you said, and the emperor also showed a lot of interest."

"The emperor also summoned you?"

Guo Ye's attention immediately shifted to Yu Shinan again, and he asked even more puzzled: "Since the emperor is interested, why hasn't there been any movement for so long? Could it be that he is waiting for something? Or is he worried about Changsun Wuji?" Waiting for the rebound from the other side?"

"Don't worry!"

Yu Shinan waved his hand to signal Guo Ye to be quiet, and then said: "The emperor recently took advantage of the fact that the emperor was ill and stopped court for a few days because he had not made up his mind. When the emperor summoned the old man, he not only showed interest, but also told him I think there is something to be said for the general regulations. But the key lies in your boy."

"I?"

Guo Ye pointed to his nose, widened his eyes and asked, "Is it related to me? Damn, I'm a great hero who makes suggestions. Could it be that the emperor also wants to learn from Sun Wuji's grandsons, and a strong man cuts off his wrists?" , Just give me another time to kill the donkey, right?"

Yu Shinan shook his head, and spat: "What are you thinking so nonsense, kid? Don't worry, I'll tell you about the general regulations of the emperor first."

"Okay." Guo Ye moved his buttocks, sat upright, and stretched out his hand to ask, "Master Yu, please tell me first, I want to hear why the emperor has not refused to give the news and the following."

Chapter 678

Yu Shinan glanced at Guo Ye meaningfully, and said softly: "The emperor summoned me into the palace and had a heart-to-heart conversation with me. I will also present the letter you sent to me to the emperor."

Guo Ye nodded slightly. The letter he wrote to Yu Shinan was not intended to be hidden, and what was written in it was not a rebellious statement. It might not be a bad thing for His Majesty Li Er to see it.

Even if Yu Shinan, an old fox, is loyal, he also knows to push himself at critical moments, so that His Majesty Li Er can let His Majesty Li Er know his true ability even when he blames him for his inaction in Shuzhou.

Immediately, his eyes sparkled, and he asked earnestly, "Then what did the emperor say after reading the letter I wrote to you?"

Yu Shinan said: "The emperor said that the characters look like masters and are ugly, but they are still ignorant as before!"

"Fuck, can you not talk about this?"

Guo Ye cast a blank glance at Yu Shinan, he knew that his hand-crafted calligraphy was indeed not in the hall of elegance.But will this be the point now?nonsense.

Yu Shinan smiled and said: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. The emperor said that you, Guo Ye, can propose to support Qingliu and the poor students to form a line of their own, to check and balance the achievements of Zhangsun Wuji and others. Saying that he trains the children of the world's poor families to reduce the Guanlong family group's control over the court and local officialdom shows that you still have some vision, saying that you, Guo Ye, still have merit, and you are not as useless as you imagined."

Damn, how do you talk?

Guo Ye secretly despised His Majesty Li Er in his heart, where is there some vision?This is called very discerning, unique vision, okay?

If this proposal still fails to attract His Majesty Li Er, then my buddy is really a traveler who understands the direction of history in vain.

The so-called Guanlong Aristocratic Clan is also known as the Guanlong Military Aristocratic Group.

The Guanlong military aristocratic group originated in the Qin State during the Warring States Period, and its representatives were Wang Jian, Li Xin, Sima Cuo, etc.

During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the powerful families were active on the political stage, and the powerful families had monopolized official careers in the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty; the Jiupin Zhongzheng System established in the Cao Wei period guaranteed the political privileges of the powerful families and helped the formation of the powerful families , During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the aristocratic families and their rule reached their peak.

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the once glorious Eastern Jin clans gradually declined with the demise of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the rise of the Liu Song Dynasty. Wang Xieyuhuan and other well-known aristocratic surnames are no longer what they used to be. Seeing that the golden age of Chinese aristocracy is coming to an end,

At this time, a new aristocratic group was born, soaring into the sky, extending the life of the Chinese aristocratic age, and creating an unprecedented great era. This is the Guanlong military aristocratic group that has been in China for nearly 200 years. It originated from Daibei Wuchuan, first built in Guanzhong, created four dynasties unprecedentedly, namely Western Wei, Northern Zhou, Sui, and Tang, and pushed China to a new historical peak. Its origin was the eight pillars of Western Wei. country.

The Eight Pillar Kingdoms are: Yu Wentai (the great-grandfather of Li Shimin), Yuan Xin (the head of the royal family of the Western Wei Dynasty, and there are also three members of the Yuan family among the twelve generals: Guangping Wang Yuanzan, Huaian Wang Yuanyu, Qi Wang Yuankuo.), Li Hu (after Li Xin, Li Yuan's grandfather), Li Bi (Li Mi's great-grandfather), Zhao Gui (who became famous for his virtue and wisdom), Yu Jin (one of the three elders of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yu Jin used strategy as his foundation in the Eight Pillars Kingdom) You, the sons were all important in the Zhou and Sui Dynasties, and Yu Yi was the most important), Dugu Xin (Yang Jian's father-in-law, Li Yuan's grandfather), Hou Mo Chen Chong (all three sons were fierce generals in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and his brother Hou Mo Chen Shun is one of the Twelve Generals).

They created the glorious history of the four dynasties of Western Wei, Northern Zhou, Sui and Tang.The history books of the Tang Dynasty said: "Those who are called powerful people today are pushing the eight-pillar country. It was prosperous and prosperous at that time, and nothing can be compared with it."

The Guanlong family that Guo Ye is talking about now refers to the Eight Great Pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty, which is now the eight great families of the Tang Empire. They firmly control the official power from the local to the court.

Whether it's the old ministers of Wude or the Tiance Mansion's meritorious service, these people are rooted in the power of the Guanlong family.

As for the struggle between the two factions, it was nothing more than internal fighting and consumption.

According to the historical data that Guo Ye knew, His Majesty Li Er was an emperor with a very strategic vision and a sense of crisis. After he ascended the throne, he knew that the Guanlong family was the greatest constraint and suppression on the imperial power of the Li family.

Therefore, he is reducing the influence and oppressive power of the Guanlong family both openly and secretly.It's a pity that the Li family of the Tang Dynasty relied on the power of the Guanlong family to come to the world, and how could they be easily kicked away by His Majesty Li Er.

If one sentence summed up the state of mind of Li Yuan and Li Shimin's father and son, it would be the success of the Guanlong family, and the defeat of the Guanlong family.

Relying on the Guanlong family, the members of the Li family took over the world, took over thousands of miles of country, and became the imperial line of the Han people, Zhengshuo.But also because of the constraints of the Guanlong family, they couldn't let go of their arms, couldn't take a step, and they had to be secretly restricted by these people all the time.

The Guanlong military aristocratic group in the Tang Dynasty has two major characteristics: [-]. "Those who are capable of governing the Hu and Han nationalities with military force and wisdom"; thing".

Li's father and son have been making compromises with the Guanlong family. After His Majesty Li Er ascended the throne, he wanted to rely on the strength of the Guanlong family, and wanted to completely shake off this burden, but he has not been able to do so.

This can also explain why Changsun Wuji is unwilling to make friends with Cheng Yaojin, Qin Shubao, Li Maogong and others who are also former ministers of Tiance Mansion.

Because although Cheng Yaojin, Qin Shubao, Li Maogong and others are high-ranking and powerful and hold military power, they are not members of the Guanlong family group.On the contrary, they are only loyal to Li Shimin, because they are all heroes from Shandong, forming a small group of their own, later called "Shandong Heroes Group".

It's a pity, except for Li Maogong, who is resourceful and resourceful, in these Shandong Hero Group, everyone else is a reckless general.How could he be the opponent of Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others by playing tricks and party struggle?

This is also the most helpless thing about His Majesty Li Er.

According to the historical trajectory known by Guo Ye, after the death of His Majesty Li Er, Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi ascended the throne, and Changsun Wuji served as Minister Gu Ming to control the government, the power of the Guanlong family reached the most shining and peak moment.

But fools have foolish blessings, Li Zhi married a sturdy wife Wu Meiniang, this woman is ruthless and decisive.Anyway, this world is not the world of her Wu family, so she gradually cultivated her confidants and cronies, and began to disintegrate and suppress the power of the Guanlong family without any shyness.

She was originally a cub who didn't feel sorry for her grandfather, and she didn't have any worries about His Majesty Li Er. She should be suppressed, arrested, and killed. Absolutely no one can survive by idling.

In the end, she was actually allowed to blaze a trail and completely suppressed the Guanlong family.Even the eldest grandson Wuji, the representative figure of the Guanlong family, was forced by this cruel woman to hang herself.

The death of Changsun Wuji represented the prosperity and decline of the Guanlong family, and slowly went downhill.

However, the final result also led to the disintegration of the Li family, and the woman Wu Meiniang directly picked the peaches, and Jianguo Dazhou replaced Datang.

This is also the ending that the Li family's royal family is most unwilling to see.

As for the subsequent turnaround, the Li family had the birth of Tang Xuanzong Li Longji, who forcibly reversed the national fortune of the Li family in the Tang Dynasty.

However, when Li Longji was firmly established, the Guanlong family was suppressed and disintegrated by Wu Meiniang, and they were almost devastated.

Inadvertently inserting willows and willows into shade, Wu Meiniang can be regarded as a karmic cycle. She won the Li family and returned the Li family, doing a good deed for the Li family Tang.

It wasn't until Tang Xuanzong Li Longji created the "Kaiyuan Prosperous Age" that all nations came to court, that the power of the Guanlong family completely withdrew from the stage of history and disappeared.

So far, the Guanlong military aristocratic group, which has spanned China for nearly 800 years and created four dynasties including Western Wei, Northern Zhou, Sui, and Tang, has collapsed and ceased to exist.

And Guo Ye's proposal this time is just a combination of Wu Meiniang and Li Longji's strategies for dealing with the Guanlong family, and it is used in advance.
