He said: "In the sixteen years since you took the throne, you have put down the rebellion, retreated the barbarian soldiers, and have made the people live and work in peace and contentment with little corvee. No one can do better than you."

The emperor looked down at him and said: "But Sanlang now wants to imitate me..."

"Your Majesty," Yin Li couldn't help but interrupt him to say the rest of his words. He would regret saying some words. If he regretted it, the people who heard him would not feel better.

He could only say in a deep voice: "The past is different from the present. Back then, the first third prince was very aggressive. Almost all the first prince's direct descendants chose the first third prince. There were many conflicts between the family and our generals. The late emperor also favored the first third prince. Your Majesty did not fight back. Not only

You will not survive, and all of us who follow His Majesty will be destroyed. Your Majesty did not only do it for yourself, but also for us."

"Now, Your Majesty is generous and very kind to the princes. The Queen is virtuous and the Prince is friendly to his brothers. What happened back then will definitely not happen again."

It was said that the prince was friendly to his brothers. A few years ago, the emperor must have agreed, because although the prince paid more attention to the studies of his younger brothers, he also cared about them.

But in the past few years...

It would be good if the prince didn't fight with his brothers.

The emperor's mood improved a lot after being interrupted by this. The most important thing was that Yin Li persuaded him to get to the right point. Yes, things were different in the past. He did it out of necessity back then, but now we are not in troubled times.

He and the Queen were also very kind to Prince Gong. Why did Prince Gong want to seize the throne?

The emperor's heart slowly calmed down and he began to think about how to deal with this matter.

Now, the Crown Princess is about to give birth. Regardless of whether her child is a boy or a girl, the Crown Prince is considered to have an heir. A son is naturally the best, and a daughter will be the next child.

The prince has also lost his former unruly attitude. Although he is not praised by all the courtiers now, it is much better than the previous tense situation.

As long as he carefully cultivates the prince and takes care of those who instigate Prince Gong, the ministers and sons should understand what he and the queen mean.

Saburo, you should be more restrained, right?

"By the way, whose children are those people who often follow Prince Gong?"

Yin Li faintly regretted that he personally came to protect the emperor, but he did not pause for long. After thinking for a while, he said: "I only know that both the Cui family and the Wang family have sons and daughters accompanying Prince Gong."

The emperor's face darkened and he became angry instantly, "Do you want my son to become a knife in their hands? Humph!"

The emperor's chest was filled with anger again, and he was no longer willing to talk to Yin Li, so he turned around and went down the mountain.

Yin Li sighed, looked at each other and immediately chased after Gu Zhong.

The grievances and grievances between the emperor and the aristocratic family could not be exhausted even for three days and three nights.

Things in this world are not black and white, they are very complicated. The royal family, the Li family, is an aristocratic family. The last emperor of the previous dynasty was very happy with his achievements and wanted to weaken the influence of the aristocratic family, so rebellions broke out in various places.

The Li family was just one of them. At that time, the late emperor and the late prince were in Taiyuan contacting families from all over the world, but now they are traveling abroad to recruit troops. It was only through the joint efforts of father and son that they conquered this vast territory.

But after conquering the country, it was discovered that the challenge had just begun. Today's governance philosophy is different from that of the late emperor. The former emperor believed that the demise of the previous dynasty was a lesson for them, so it was time to return to the past, where the royal family and the family ruled together, so that the dynasty could last long;

Today, they also believe that the demise of the previous dynasty is a lesson for them, so the influence of the aristocratic family should be gradually weakened, and the aristocratic family should not be allowed to influence the change of dynasty.

Looking at the past and present, how many countries have perished at the hands of aristocratic families?

Moreover, when the government of the country is in the hands of aristocratic families, not only the royal family suffers, but the people also suffer. The land is occupied by aristocratic families on a large scale, and the people have nothing to rely on. In the end, they will be forced to rebel.

Once the people have a rebellious intention, as long as the people in power do not agree with the wishes of aristocratic families like them, they will use the people to raise a flag of rebellion.

How did the previous dynasty be destroyed? Will the current people who destroyed the previous dynasty not know?

Rather than still handing the sword to the aristocratic family and holding up the sword that governs the world together with the aristocratic family, it is better for him to take the sword bit by bit and only one person can hold it.

Therefore, after the establishment of the empire, Jin Jin proposed to judge the nobles based on their military merits, and all the generals who followed Jin Jin into the battle were rewarded.

Half of the lords in the court were their current subordinates. Not only the prince, but also the late emperor became uneasy. The dissatisfaction of the aristocratic family added fuel to the fire, and the emperor and the three legitimate princes instantly started fighting.

Now that he has seen clearly, after feeling sad, he took a step back, took the initiative to relinquish military power, and alienated those generals who were knighted, hoping to quell the royal feud.

But he retreated step by step, until the first prince became seriously ill. Seeing that if the first prince passed away, he would become the legitimate heir, so the fight became even more chaotic.

Now I'm really thinking about it.

If his eldest brother is alive, he is willing to step back and become a minister. But if his eldest brother dies, then he should be the emperor in terms of seniority, direct lineage, and merit.

Having fought bloody battles on the battlefield, his heart could never be softer no matter how soft he was. In addition, many of the generals around him were suppressed by the former prince and the third prince at that time, so they were all willing to follow him and rebel again when they were angry.

Now they were hesitating, hesitating, and then they were forced to a dead end on the battlefield. In that battle, they were cut off from their retreat and suffered heavy casualties.

Yin Li was with the emperor at that time, and he knelt down with the surviving generals to beg him to rebel.

Then they rushed thousands of miles, bypassed the late emperor's carriage and rushed back to the capital to kill the third prince. By the time the late emperor heard the news and rushed back, they had stabilized the capital.

The late emperor was forced to have no choice but to make him the crown prince. However, due to the heavy blow, he became seriously ill and died after a few months.

And it is precisely because of today's thunderous method that all the aristocratic families have been suppressed. In addition to the years of war, the people can no longer withstand another war. After he ascended the throne, he took the initiative to submit to the aristocratic family, and both sides took a step back.

Maintained superficial peace.

But for so many years, the emperor never thought of letting the family go. In these years, although the imperial examination was suspended for various reasons, it had to be held every two or three years. Every time, a child from a poor family was elected to the Hanlin Academy.

As the emperor's confidant, Yin Li knew that the emperor was slowly weakening the family's influence.

But the family also did not give up. There were many of their people around the prince, Prince Gong, and even several other princes.

The emperor and the aristocratic family couldn't tell who betrayed whom, and even Yin Li, who was as transparent as Yin Li, couldn't think of a solution. Just to prevent the emperor from regretting it in the future, he secretly reminded him, "Your Majesty, be careful if you hit the mouse and damage the jade bottle."

.”

Those who are released by aristocratic families to participate in the seizure of the direct descendants are generally not the direct descendants, even the direct descendants, nor the eldest brother.

Just look at Yang Heshu and you will know that he is not only the most famous son of the aristocratic family in the capital, but also the direct eldest son of the Yang family, who was trained by the clan leader.

Therefore, he will not show preference for any prince. Even if he is currently an assistant in the East Palace, he is still taking orders from the emperor, not from Zhan Shifu in the East Palace.

And if other descendants of the Yang family participate in the fight for the direct descendants, if they win, they will naturally be the descendants of the dragon, and they will be rich and prosperous; if they lose, the family will be affected, but if the direct descendants are there, the foundation will still be there, and they will be able to contribute again after a few years of silence.
