Chapter 657 Helpless
A few days passed in a flash. Li Muyun was sent out of the palace on the day she woke up and returned to her home. The news about Quan Gai Suwen was terminated.
No one knew what Li Shimin planned to deal with this guy who dared to assassinate his father, nor did he dare to ask. Everyone was silent and pretended that nothing had happened.
An insider appeared in the palace and brought a traitor from Goguryeo into the palace. This is not a trivial matter. Although it did not cause any major damage, it was extremely bad and the impact it caused was immeasurable.
The ability of the masters in the Great Inner Guards to bow their heads and let outsiders make trouble in the palace is far beyond the ability of the little people. After careful consideration, you will find that almost no one except the princes and daughters in the palace have such energy.
Li Muyun tried to see Quan Gai Suwen, but when he was still at the palace gate, Li Shimin scolded him so much that he didn't even dare to put one of his farts, so he rolled home with his tail stomped and continued to recover from his injuries.
Although Su Wanqing has been "careing for" Li Muyun during this period, she actually kept criticizing him for his rashness and recklessness, and sometimes he was full of old fists, causing the prince of Xiaoyao to live happily for half a month.
One month after the assassination incident, the army expeditioned northwest returned, and Chang'an City finally recovered a little bit of anger.
However, when Lao Cheng and others learned about this, both of them were furious. No matter what background the assassination was, they thought that if the Goguryeo people dared to come, they would have to fight back, otherwise what would the Tang Dynasty face?
"Your Majesty, you can't fight. It's winter now, and Liaodong is a bitter and cold place. If our army sends troops at this time, even if we reach the border, we can only sigh at the city and spend only food and grass." Seeing that the situation was a one-sided trend, Wei Zheng's eyes were red in an anxious manner, and the court tried his best to persuade Li Shimin at all costs.
Cheng Yaojin has always been a military pioneer. At this time, he rushed out again and pushed Wei Zheng aside and said, "Why can't you fight? It's not winter when you fight the Turks."
Although Wei Zheng was a scholar, he could look at the overall situation. After hearing Cheng Yaojin's words, he said sternly: "How can the Turks and Goguryeo be the same! The grasslands in the north of the desert are unblocked, and the army will naturally open and close. However, Goguryeo is similar to our Tang Dynasty. If we build cities and defend our army, our army will be unable to move forward."
Cheng Yaojin curled his lips: "So what? My Tang soldiers care about how many broken cities will they care about? If someone dares to stop them, they will definitely let them know what it means to turn into powder."
"Okay, don't fight any more." Seeing that the two sides were arguing, Li Shimin interrupted them and said silently for a moment: "The conquest of Goguryeo requires long-term planning and strive to achieve the best of their achievements. Now let's see how they explain this matter."
"Your Majesty, Goguryeo is arrogant and provoked repeatedly. If you don't teach them a lesson, I'm afraid it will become worse next time." Li Daozong, a royal clan, stood up at this time and tried to persuade Li Shimin to send troops.
But Li Shimin didn't want to continue this topic and waved his hand and said, "No need to talk about this matter! I have my own plans."
Now everyone didn't have to fight. The Lord War, the Lord and the two factions glared at each other and retreated.
However, Lu Zushang felt unwilling to accept his feelings and said, "Your Majesty, the affairs of the Goguryeo Assassin were all caused by King Xiaoyao. I hope Your Majesty can punish him severely."
Although the murderer who destroyed the entire Zheng family was found, the root of Li Muyun was not eliminated. Naturally, the major families would not give up. They were ready to continue and would never let go if they were completely killed.
How could Li Shimin not know the plans of the aristocratic family? But it is too difficult to find someone who dares to fight with the aristocratic family these days. If you are killed by the aristocratic family, wouldn’t it have grown the ambition of the aristocratic family and destroyed the majesty of the poor family?
Therefore, Li Erli ignored Lao Lu who was standing below and stood up and left with her sleeves. Behind him, the sharp voice of the deacon and eunuch came: "Retreat!"
...
In Da'an Palace, Li Muyun lay next to Old Li Yuan like a zombie: "Dad, I'll be burdened this time."
Li Yuan turned his head and looked at Li Muyun, who was like a dumpling he had made, and said angrily: "You guy don't have this set, isn't there anything else?"
Li Muyun touched his nose with a giggle and said awkwardly: "Dad, I'm here to see it, I'm afraid you will always have any psychological shadows."
The older one is, the more face he loves, and Li Yuan is naturally no exception. When Li Muyun said it, he immediately said: "I have a big psychological shadow. I think there are so many assassins like this back then that I can't count them. Do you think I have cared about it?"
Seeing that the old man was getting less and less reliable, Li Muyun surrendered and said, "Yes, yes, your current majesty is still the same as before, and you will become stronger."
Li Yuan waved his hand, obviously not wanting to continue to bullying anymore. He leaned on the back of the chair and squinted at Li Muyun and said, "Okay, don't talk about those useless things, just talk about you."
Li Muyun said blankly: "What's wrong with me?"
Li Yuan said: "You don't really plan to fight with them to the end when it comes to the aristocratic family, do you?"
"Haha..." Hearing Old Li Yuan talk about the aristocratic family again, Li Muyun smiled bitterly: "Dad, do you think I have to choose?"
Li Yuan said: "Why are there no choice? No one is forcing you to fight the aristocratic family."
Li Muyun tsk, lowered his head and thought for a while, "Dad, actually, I don't want to be enemies with aristocratic families. I also know that the reason why aristocratic families have been passed down for thousands of years must have extraordinary things, but you also know that sometimes things will not be transferred according to people's will. Even if I don't want to be enemies with aristocratic families, can aristocratic families tolerate me?"
Li Yuan curled his lips: "Excuse me, I know that you don't like those families, so I deliberately torment them."
"I said, dad, you look down on me too much." Li Muyun smiled silently and said, "Actually, the fight with the aristocratic family is not my original intention. In fact, everyone has not lived very easily these days, and I can understand them, but the current situation is that they have stretched their hands too long, and they have grown to the point of taking away other people's jobs."
Old Li Yuan didn't say anything. He knew that Li Muyun was telling the truth. Sometimes those aristocratic families did stretch their hands too long.
But this is also impossible. The family will always expand to a certain extent, which is easy to understand.
At the beginning, there may be more than a dozen people in a family, and at this time, only one county town is enough for them to struggle.
When the number of people in the family reaches dozens, the county town will not be enough to make trouble at this time. If you do not expand outward, you can only consume the family internally. If you do not want to consume internally, you can only expand.
But expansion is also limited. Your family needs to expand, and other families also need to expand. There will be conflicts after a while. This is the general trend. Even if you don’t want such a thing to happen subjectively, there is no way to stop it.
This is easy to play online games. If you build a family or team, when there are only a few people, it is enough to brush the small map. The equipment you make is enough for everyone to score.
Later, the number of people in your family will rise to dozens of people, and the equipment released on the mini map will not be enough. At this time, you have to go to other maps or other copies to brush more equipment to win people's hearts, otherwise the family will be disbanded.
But when you rush out of the small map and come to the outside world, you will find that there are actually more families like you facing the same problems, so conflicts arise.
As the conflict becomes more intense, alliances will appear, and several larger families will join forces to rule a large area, and then continue to expand and continue to conflict.
This is the current situation in the Tang Dynasty. After thousands of years of development, the five surnames and seven hopes have become countless tribes. When there are too many tribes, they need to be taken care of. At this time, the family needs power and money.
With power, you can provide better development opportunities for your tribe members, and with money, you can gather people's hearts and make your family stronger.
So in some aspects, whether it is the Zheng family, the Lu family or other aristocratic families, they are nothing wrong. Whether they are domineering or crazy, in fact, it is just for their own tribe members to live a better life.
Li Muyun had already seen through it a little bit. He knew that such things were not a matter of giving in and not giving in. When the situation was forced, you would not be able to fight, because if you didn't fight, you would have to wait to be overwhelmed.
After all, there are only a few resources in this world, both power and material resources.
Emperors such as Yang Jian, Yang Guang, Li Yuan, Li Shimin, and Wu Zetian actually didn't want to fight internally, but they couldn't do it without fighting. With the development of the aristocratic families, they occupied a large number of positions in the officialdom and could even confront the imperial power in many cases.
This situation is untolerated by any emperor, so since Yang Jian started, the imperial examination system was established, striving to select more poor children from the people to occupy the position of officials, so as to avoid the officialdom being completely occupied by aristocratic families.
As for how far-reaching the poor children have and whether they can serve their own herdsmen, these are actually things that follow the power struggle.
After all, Li Muyun is a person from the 21st century. Although his historical knowledge is poor, he also knows that the good days of the aristocratic family will soon come to an end, so he will not join them. First, there is no future, and secondly, he is easily regarded as a pawn.
Of course, even if he defected to Li Er, he would inevitably be regarded as a chess piece. But whoever is the chess piece, the survival chance of Nie Weiping's chess piece will undoubtedly be higher than that of the chess piece in the hands of the chess piece. Even a fool knows this.
As the former emperor, Li Yuan also saw clearly the tricks of this. Seeing that Li Muyun seemed to have made up his mind, he stopped persuading him. He changed the topic and said, "Since you have made up your mind, I will not persuade you anymore. But you should have built a big villa for me at the beginning. You will not forget this, right?"
