"I don't understand what Wen Jigong meant very much?" Li Xiaogong put down his wine glass, "I'd like to ask Wen Jigong to speak out."

"I've been drinking almost the best, so the banquet will end first!" Li Gang turned his head and looked around and said something completely irrelevant, "The wind outside is getting heavier and heavier."

"Just follow Wen Jigong!" Li Xiaogong waved to a close servant and whispered a few instructions, "Why don't you ask Wen Jigong to go to the study with me!"

"Okay!" Li Gang nodded, "Just I will have more entertainment from Prince Zhao."

After taking two steps, Li Xiaogong waved to Li Jing who was still standing still, "Senior Brother Yao, come together!"

"Abide by the order!"

Kuizhou is not a big city, and the Kuizhou General Administration is not very big. It goes around from the back door of the main hall and turns a corner to Li Xiaogong's study.

"Now there are no one else, Wen Jigong has something to say." After the three of them sat down and then ordered the nearby servant to come with another pot of wine, Li Xiaogong couldn't wait to ask, "I wonder what you are worried about when Wen Jigong?"

"I want to ask Prince Zhao?" Old Master Li Gang twisted his beard and said seriously, "I wonder which aristocratic families do you think are so-called aristocratic families?"

"Is this?" Li Xiaogong thought about it and replied, "Cui, Lu, Wang, Zheng..."

"Cui Lu Wang Zheng, then, do you think so, pharmacist?" Li Gang turned to look at Li Jing.

"Well, if we talk about it based on the popularity, it is indeed the so-called aristocratic families who are headed by Cui Lu Wang Zheng." Li Jing nodded.

"Yes, this is what I am worried about, Cui Lu, King Zheng, and even as the Guanlong Li clan, who has now been named the prince, when it comes to the aristocratic families, they always open their mouths to the aristocratic families. Do you say that there are no aristocratic families besides Cui Lu, Zheng? Or, is it that my Guanlong Li clan is not the aristocratic family?"

"Of course I can't say that..." Li Xiaogong stopped and seemed a little hesitant.

"The emperor should be under the heaven and above ten thousand people. But now His Majesty is already the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but I, Li, still have to settle under the mere King of Cui Lu, Zheng. What is the reason?"

Mr. Li Gang slapped the table, "Also, these aristocratic families are self-reliant and look down on me, Guanlong children, and think that only they are the first-class people, and we are not even the second-class people. What makes people even more angry is that not only they think so, but also many people in our Li family think so, and this mentality is very bad."

"Your Majesty is the world, and my Guanlong Li family is the first clan. This is undoubtedly true, and it will definitely become a fact. The families of Cui Lu and Zheng, such as Zheng, have become stumbling blocks for the prosperity of my Li family and even the Tang Dynasty."

Li Gang put down his wine glass and said bluntly, "I am willing to come out this time to persuade Your Majesty, increase the strength of the families of Cui Lu and Zheng, and revise the clan charts. My surname Li is now the surname of the emperor, which means that my Li family should be the first, and there is no doubt about this."

"But it's difficult to do this. If you are not careful, it will cause panic among the people?" Li Xiaogong said on the side, "After all, the family background of Cui Lu, Wang Zheng and others is also very deep."

"But no matter how difficult it is, we have to start doing things like the king and horse in the Jin Dynasty, sharing the world, we must never let it appear in my Tang Dynasty." Mr. Li Gang coughed gently, "Of course, we have to talk about some methods to attack them. If it is too harsh, it will be difficult for these aristocratic families to make trouble."

"But we can cut off their branches and leaves first," Mr. Li narrowed his eyes. "For example, when you attacked Jiangling this time, you found that there were branches of aristocratic families such as Cui Lu and Zheng under the rule of Liang State, so you made a fair decision and treated them as a thief. No one could say anything, right?"

"Or, you can press the rewards for officials from major families such as Cui Lu, Wang Zheng, etc., so that you can give young people more opportunities to exercise, right?" Mr. Li Gang smiled calmly, "The aristocratic family that has no strong support in the court and no party members outside is a good aristocratic family, right?"

"What Wen Jigong said makes sense." Li Jing nodded, "Cui's family is like a country in Qinghe. As far as I know, Lu's family is similar in Fanyang. These aristocratic families control local officials, and orders that are beneficial to them are executed, and orders that are unfavorable to them are violated. It is indeed necessary to deal with them well."

"So what Your Majesty means?" Li Xiaogong's focus was different from that of Li Jing, and he asked the key points in one sentence.

"If Your Majesty disagrees with my advice, how could I issue an edict to activate me?" Li Gang touched his beard with satisfaction, "The aristocratic family is a country's borer. Can we see it, do you think Your Majesty can't see it? It's just that as it is not decided today, your Majesty can't just start blatantly."

"But it is precisely because Your Majesty is not easy to act directly, which is the time for us to show off." Li Gang nodded slightly to Li Jing, who stood up and poured a glass of wine for himself, "As long as we do things in a solid manner and with reasonable grounds, what can those aristocratic families do to us?"

The old man smiled cunningly and picked up the wine glass, "And the most important thing is that now my Tang Dynasty has just been established, and it is a time when the country is struggling. As far as I know, the military expenditure of your Kuizhou camp is not much, but do you think, who has the money now?"

Li Xiaogong and Li Jing smiled at each other, and then raised the wine glass in their hands at the same time. "Let's give Wen Jigong a glass!"

"Please!" Old Master Li Gang raised the wine glass in his hand, "I wish both of you a victory and a victory in the flag and a victory over the Jiangnan!"

When Mr. Li Gang returned from Li Xiaogong's study to the residence arranged by him, time had passed again. The old man with a slightly drunk face wiped his face and ordered his servant, "Go and call me Lu Fu over."

Soon, Lu Fu, the lucky one who had been through life and death with Wukong, was called to Mr. Li Gang's residence. When he entered the door, he saw Mr. Li Gang sitting at the table, holding a brush and writing something.

Lu Fu didn't know much about Mr. Li Gang, so he didn't feel anything wrong when he saw this situation. However, if the people present were Li Xiaogong, Prince Zhao or Li Jing of Sanyuan, they would probably have their eyes wide open.

You should know that Mr. Li Gang is already 74 years old. Although he has not yet appeared in his life for seventy years, the eyes and hands of the elderly must be inferior to those when he was young. So now, Mr. Li even writes memorials to His Majesty Li Yuan by himself and writes them on his behalf. Finally, the old man reads them and signs them on his behalf.

What kind of letters are worthy of his reply?

Seeing that Mr. Li Gang was writing something, Lu Fu did not dare to disturb him. He stood quietly and waited for the old man to finish writing. About a quarter of an hour later, Mr. Li Gang stopped writing, picked up the letter paper and blew it, and put it aside. When the ink trace was dried, he raised his eyes and glanced at Lu Fu.

"You can go back to Jiujiang with the letter later. Tell Monk Daoxin that I have completed his request."

"Thank you, sir!" Lu Fu knelt down with a pounce, "I would like to thank you for your kindness on behalf of my young master."

"There is no need for such kindness." The old man waved his hand slightly, "I have a good relationship with Master Sengcan. Since it was a monk Daoxin who wrote a letter to ask me for it, it was a little difficult, and I would find a way to complete it, not to mention that it was just a matter of a simple task. However, Monk Daoxin, who has always been reluctant to bow to officials, wrote a letter to me personally, which shows that Master Daoxin really cares for your young master."

That's right, Monk Daoxin never bows his head to officials, so this letter was actually written by my young master who imitated Master Daoxin's handwriting. Even the seal was such an important thing that the young master carved for radishes himself. Do you think I will tell you?

"Yes!" Lu Fu answered with a solemn look on his face, "Master Daoxin is indeed very caring for my young master. After seeing him, he accepted his disciples as a personal disciple. The monks in Dalin Temple all said that if there is a time, my young master will definitely be able to obtain the inheritance of Master Daoxin."

"Oh!" Old Master Li Gang nodded slightly, "No one is a person with a great Buddha's affinity. Unfortunately, I don't have a Buddha's affinity, so although my mind is towards Zen, I can never understand my mind and see my nature."

After lying down, this sentence is really a big shot! Do you think I should say that you are the material for being a monk or that you are not the material for being a monk? After thinking about it for a while, Lu Fu decided to shut his mouth honestly and didn't say a word.

However, Mr. Li Gang's words were just a mere complaint, and he didn't expect Lu Fu to answer. So after he sighed alone for a long time, he finally noticed Lu Fu's existence again. "Well, why are you still here?"

Lu Fu almost burst into tears. Master, will you dare to leave casually if you don’t say anything?

So Lu Fu just kowtowed honestly and replied, "Young Master once said, if I asked me to ask you for a famous post before leaving you, and after the world is peaceful, when the young master goes to Chang'an, he will definitely come to your door and thank you in person."

"Your young master is really..." The old man smiled and pointed Lu Fu with his hands. "I'm afraid he is planning to use my famous post as a tiger skin to attack Prince Zhao and Master Li Yaoshi."

"The young master once told the villain not to deceive the adults in anything." Lu Fu kowtowed again, "So, the villain can only say, "Your Madam, you are wise!"
