Chapter 8 A real man can bend and stretch!

Xu Tian looked at Li Shimin with a smile and felt speechless!

If you go out by yourself, you have to redeem the jade pendant. If your father-in-law knows that he treats his daughter's jade pendant, he will probably disappear without any affection for him.

"Haha! Master, my son-in-law is worried that we will be tired. Don't worry, we are not tired. The life we ​​lived in the past was even harder than this."

Fang Xuanling saw that Xu Tian didn't say anything and said with a smile.

After hearing this, Xu Tian looked at Fang Xuanling with some surprise and said, "Oh! Old House, did you live a hard life before?"

Yes, the development of the gentry was not smooth sailing.”

"Haha! We have not only lived a hard life in the past, but we will be in danger of our lives at any time!"

Li Shimin said with a smile.

Thinking of his many years of wars, he encountered countless dangers. Sometimes thousands of people were surrounded by tens of thousands, but they all came over. He is now the emperor of the Tang Dynasty!

"Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of Sui, was cruel and ruthless. My father-in-law must have gone through that period of time."

Xu Tian said in a deep voice.

Yang Guang, the last emperor of the Sui Dynasty, was also Li Shimin's cousin. He was cruel by nature and killed innocent people indiscriminately, and personally destroyed the great mountains and rivers of the Sui Dynasty.

"well!"

Thinking of Yang Guang, Li Shimin just sighed helplessly.

Several people were chatting, and Xu Tian came to the pawnshop. After much thought, he walked into the pawnshop and redeemed Li Changle's jade pendant.

"Son-in-law, is this?"

When Li Shimin saw Li Changle's jade pendant, he immediately looked confused.

This was given to Changle by Guanyin Maid. Although it was not a precious jade, Changle had worn it since he was a child, so how could it appear in the pawnshop?

"Haha! Father-in-law, a real man can bend and stretch, and everyone has difficulties. I hope his father-in-law will forgive him. The son-in-law swears that this will definitely not happen in the future!"

Xu Tian said with a smile and gave the jade pendant to Li Changle.

Li Changle took the jade pendant and thought Li Shimin was angry, so he pulled the corner of his clothes.

Li Shimin was not angry, but was very touched by what Xu Tian said.

"Haha! A good son-in-law said it well. A real man can bend and prosper, and a good son-in-law has such martial arts. Can he be willing to join the army, be a soldier, and serve the country?"

Li Shimin said with a smile.

kindness!

Fang Xuanling and Cheng Yaojin were both stunned when they heard Li Shimin's words. It was obvious that Your Majesty was intending to train Xu Tian. As long as this kid enters the army and makes military achievements, he will definitely be granted the title of marquis and prime minister in the future!

After hearing this, Xu Tian shook his head decisively and said, "If you don't go, you won't go!"

"Yeah! Son-in-law, didn't you say that a real man can bend and stretch?

Could it be that you look down on the little soldiers?"

Li Shimin asked in a deep voice.

His original intention was to let Xu Tian start from a small soldier in the army, continue to train, promote him step by step, and finally become a pillar of the Tang Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, there is no distinction between high and low in this world, nor is there any profession. If there is a distinction between high and low, it is the heart of the people!"

"I don't go to join the army, not because I look down on my soldiers from the Tang Dynasty, but because if I join the army, my talent will be wasted."

Xu Tian said in a deep voice.

"kindness?

Wasted?

As long as it is gold, it will shine. If a virtuous son-in-law is really talented, how can he waste it?"

Li Shimin said with a puzzled look on his face.

"Haha! Father-in-law, you are not a person from the court, so naturally you don't understand the tricks. I'll ask you, have you ever seen people from poor families who are officials in court?"

"I dare say that, most of the officials in the Tang Dynasty are related to the five surnames and Qiwang, and the remaining few are closely related to the gentry, or they are the descendants of Fang Xuanling, Cheng Yaojin and others, and their confidants!"

"The same is true in the army. It doesn't matter in the court. You will always be an unknown man. No one knows if you die on the battlefield!"

Xu Tian said with a sneer.

The reason why Li Shimin was able to gain the world so easily was because he received the support of the five surnames and seven hopes. Moreover, the Tang Dynasty had a coexistence of the imperial examination system and the recommendation system!

Because the officials recommended by the five surnames and Qi Wang were very powerful in the court, almost all the officials of the Tang Dynasty were recommended, and the imperial examination became a decoration instead.

The officials formed their own faction, most of which represented the interests of the five surnames and seven hopes, so the Tang Dynasty became the most serious dynasty in marriage!

If any war occurs, the business of the five surnames and Qi Wangs will inevitably be damaged. In order to protect their own interests, they naturally force the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to marry their daughter in exchange for peace!

This situation also led to the later Wu Zetian ascended the throne and Zhao Kuangyin and Chenqiao mutiny!

"This...hehe! Son-in-law, it seems that you have a lot of opinions about the Tang Dynasty. Do you think the Tang Dynasty is not good now?"

Li Shimin asked with a smile.

"The Tang Dynasty is very good now, but this kind of good is because the emperor of our Tang Dynasty is Li Shimin, but people will die one day. If the emperor is gone one day, his father-in-law thinks, who can suppress the officials of the gentry, the five surnames and seven hopes, and the factions?"

Xu Tian looked at Li Shimin and asked in a deep voice.

hiss!

As soon as Xu Tian said this, Fang Xuanling, Cheng Yaojin, Li Changle, and Empress Changsun all took a breath. Xu Tian actually said in front of Li Shimin that Li Shimin will be gone one day. If he angered Li Shimin, he would probably pull him out and chop him out on the spot.

However, Li Shimin was not angry, but smiled and said, "The son-in-law can see through thoroughly. If the emperor is gone now, no one in this Tang Dynasty could suppress the five surnames and seven hopes, the aristocrats, and officials of various factions, not to mention Wei Zheng, especially the officials of all officials, they dared to fight against the emperor in front of all the officials!"

In fact, Li Shimin had long felt this way. He was rebelling and ascending to the throne. Because he had outstanding military achievements and great power, no one dared to rebel!

But if I am gone, how many people in the court will surrender to their children?

Will those nobles and gentry take the opportunity to spread rumors?

This matter must be solved completely!

"Although Wei Zheng is called a human mirror, he is an absolute troll. He is very good at speaking and has no use for governing the country and maintaining peace."

Xu Tian said in a deep voice.

Wei Zheng was an old minister of the previous dynasty, but because he was upright, he dared to contradict Li Shimin in front of all the officials. He was also a big troll. Li Shimin had nothing to say and was respected by the world as a mirror!

Li Shimin had no way to deal with Wei Zheng. Killing him was a rebellious person and would definitely have a very bad impact among all officials and the people.

If you don’t kill him, you can prove to the world that you are a wise king. After all, he has contradicted himself and he has not killed him. Isn’t he still wise?
