Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2705
Li Tai didn't want to get involved in the battle for the reserve position. Both sides were his brothers, and the palms and backs of his hands were full of flesh. If he favored either, he would cause harm to the other, so he shut himself up in Guanzhong and didn't see outsiders, even if he went out. Most of them are in Lishan Farm, lest someone will come to him and act as a lobbyist.

But who would have expected that if he came to the south of the Yangtze River, he would be affected by the competition for reserves?
I couldn't help swearing a bad word, and I was very depressed.

But he also understands that the current battle for the position of reserve has obviously affected the entire empire, and the interests of all parties will inevitably choose to stand in line or even participate in it. As the prince of the Tang Dynasty, it is impossible for him to stay completely out of the matter.

Fang Jun shook his head, and said: "Although this matter is now involved in the battle for the reserve position, it may not be what the King of Jin meant. According to Weichen, it is more likely that the Taiyuan Wang family is unwilling to be lonely and wants to take advantage of the current situation of the Jin Dynasty. Wang Qishi, quickly expand their own momentum, after all, among the seven clans and five surnames, the Taiyuan Wang family was suppressed too badly."

Li Tai thought for a while, and deeply agreed.

Over the years, the seven clans and five surnames have always been compared and regarded as the masters of the world.

However, due to geographical reasons, since the rise of the Guanlong nobles, the Zhaojun Li family, Boling Cui family, Qinghe Cui family, Fanyang Lu family, and Xingyang Zheng family in Shandong have been suppressed. It has always been a rare way to become an official, and their influence is weakening day by day. However, the Li family in Longxi and the Wang family in Taiyuan, relying on their geographical advantages, have become more and more entangled with the Guanlong tyrants.

However, since Wang Shichong occupied Luoyang and forced the emperor Yang Tong to abdicate to usurp the throne as emperor, the Taiyuan Wang family turned against the entire Guanlong nobles and parted ways. The inevitable decline of the peak.

When the Tang Dynasty was established, the Li family of Longxi ascended to the pinnacle of power in one fell swoop.

However, although the remaining seven clans and five surnames in Shandong were affected by the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, they did not hurt their roots.

Under such circumstances, how could the Taiyuan Wang family not be lost?

How can the clan of hairpin tassels in this era be willing to be lonely and subservient for a long time?The daughter-in-law was chosen to be the concubine of Jin, and the king of Jin was chosen by His Majesty Li Er as the crown prince, which gave the Wang family of Taiyuan a perfect opportunity and sufficient ambition.

If it is possible to unify the Jiangnan gentry and destroy Fang Jun’s control in Jiangnan, so that the Jiangnan gentry can stand behind King Jin, and the King Jin with the support of two powerful groups in Guanlong and Jiangnan will greatly increase the chances of success. The king of Jin finally won the big position, and the Wang family naturally contributed a lot.

Controlling the government as a foreign relative, it is not impossible to reproduce the glory of the old Sun family...

Li Tai sighed, looked at Fang Jun and asked, "What should we do now?"

Fang Jun said: "That depends on what His Highness wants."

Li Tai fell silent.

He could understand Fang Jun's words. How to deal with the next step depends on what kind of position he takes in the battle for the reserve position. As long as he expresses his support for the crown prince, everything will come naturally for Fang Jun, and it will be a little difficult at best.

To be honest, he doesn't want to get involved, but he can understand the crux of the problem. Even if he stays out of it today, he can't go to Silla, Japan or even Annan, right?
As long as he returns to Chang'an one day, he will still have to face the battle for the reserve position, which is absolutely unavoidable in his capacity.

After thinking about it carefully, he said: "The crown prince and the young slave are both my king's siblings, and the palms and backs of their hands are full of flesh. How do you let me choose?"

Fang Jun sighed and said: "Then there is no other way. Your Highness does not want to express his attitude. Naturally, it is inconvenient to accept these goods breeding industries, and this humble minister is helpless."

But Li Tai shook his head and said: "No, no, no, you can't express your opinion. The battle for the reserve position is related to the future of a courtier like you, but you can reconcile with this king? No matter who becomes the emperor, this king is still the Tang Dynasty Prince, but the development of the education of the Tang Dynasty is a lifelong career that the king has already sworn, and must not be given up, so these commercial industries still have to be accepted."

Fang Jun was stunned: "But if His Royal Highness wants to take over these properties, he has to rely on the help of the humble minister, and the humble minister clearly supports the prince. With the connection, isn't it equivalent to His Royal Highness standing on the side of the prince? There is something wrong with this." It goes against your original intention."

The truth is indeed the same, but Li Tai said slyly: "Don't use these words to fool me, the cargo breeding industry is compensation for your Fang Jun, and now you donate the cargo breeding industry to me, what does it have to do with the crown prince?" ?Even if there is a relationship, this king also believes that you can perfectly cut the relationship between them. This king never asks for help in his life. Today, for the education of the Tang Dynasty, and for countless children from poor families in the future to be able to recite the books of sages and sages. Erlang don't blame me!"

Mu Yuanzuo and Pei Xingjian who were on the side were dumbfounded. This His Highness wants to eat mutton without getting it fishy. Isn't this obviously a shame?

Fang Jun was also speechless, and said helplessly: "Your Highness, can you show some face?"

Li Tai stared at him with a straight face: "How do you talk to me? Are there any rules?"

Fang Jun called Qu and said, "You were the one who didn't talk about the rules first, right? Everyone in the world knows that I'm the prince's man, and now I'm helping you take over the property of the Taiyuan Wang family and the Jiangnan gentry, and a fool will take you with you." The prince associates it together, what do you ask the humble minister to do?"

Li Tai squinted at him, and said with a sneer: "Don't use such words to deceive the king, fools will think that the king is related to the prince, but whether it is the Taiyuan Wang family or the Jiangnan gentry, which one is a fool? Smart people like to think too much, they are obviously things they have seen with their own eyes, but they often find all kinds of reasons to relieve them. If it is impossible to say, some people will think too much, thinking that this king is just being used by you, the prince's best friend, Did you intentionally make them think that this king is for the prince?"

Fang Jun: "..."

He found that Li Tai's words were so reasonable that he was speechless.

Mu Yuanzuo was able to smuggle into the position of governor of Suzhou, so he was not a mediocre person. After thinking about it for a while, he also felt that Li Taizhi's words could be described as human nature, and it was indeed possible.

Pei Xingjian is a descendant of an aristocratic family. Countless people in the clan occupy various positions. They have been used to all kinds of schemes and conjectures since they were young. Now that they heard Li Tai's words, they slapped their hands in excitement and said, "This plan is very clever." Ah! As long as the Duke of Yue came forward to take over the goods and farming industry, he would intentionally imply with great fanfare that His Royal Highness the King of Wei had joined the Crown Prince to oppose the King of Jin, the more he said that, the more people would not believe it!"

Li Tai held his teacup with an inscrutable expression on his face.

But I muttered in my heart: Mother, is this really okay?Could it be that these two bastards helped Fang Jun to deceive Lao Tzu... But after much deliberation, if you want to take over these goods breeding industries without being involved in the battle for storage positions, maybe this is the only way.

Mother, let him go!

At worst, after I got the money, I went to various remote state capitals in person to prepare for the establishment of county schools and township schools in various places, far away from the political center of Chang'an, and if I don't express my opinion on anything, who can involve myself in the battle for the reserve position? stand up?
In short, running a school is a big deal, so let's get the money first!
Fang Jun frowned and thought for a long time, and felt that this was a solution, so he asked, "What do you think, Your Highness?"

Li Tai put his posture to the end, nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Yes!"

Fang Jun patted the coffee table lightly, then turned to Mu Yuanzuo and asked, "Does Wu Xingshen have property in Suzhou City?"

Mu Yuanzuo said strangely: "Of course there are. Suzhou is a big port in the south of the Yangtze River, where goods are gathered and distributed, and it also gathers a gathering of celebrities and people from the south of the Yangtze River. No matter whether the surname is Qiao or Wu, all Jiangnan can reach a certain scale. , Most of them will buy properties in Suzhou. One of the largest restaurants in Suzhou City is the property of Wu Xingshen's. But didn't Pei Changshi just say that Wu Xingshen's was not involved in the last thunder incident? "

Mu Yuanzuo still has a full understanding of Fang Jun's style of work. It's not all slander for this man to be called a stick, at least his temper of holding back and holding back is real.

You unite and want to go back on your word and take back the goods and breeding industry you gave to Lao Tzu?
Then we have to see if your fists are harder than Lao Tzu's!

But Wu Xingshen's family was not involved in the Zhentianlei incident, and never brought out the family's breeding industry to find out. What did you go to receive?
Fang Jun glanced at him, and said, "Who told you that X was going to take over the property of the Wu family? We are people who follow the rules, so naturally we must buy and sell real money when we do business!"

Mu Yuanzuo was speechless.

The problem is that Wu Xingchen probably doesn't want to do business with you either, right?
