Li Yi'an sorted out his language and asked, "I want to ask you all, how did the former Sui Dynasty perish?"

"Of course it was Yang Guang's tyranny that led to the demise of the former Sui Dynasty!"

Yu Zhining first responded that in front of Li Shimin, of course he had to step on Yang Guang.

"That's not all. Yang Guang is very happy, he conquered Goguryeo three times, built a dragon boat and went to Yangzhou, etc."

Fang Xuanling's words were still fair, and he continued: "The demise of the Sui Dynasty did not happen overnight, it was accumulated over a long period of time, and finally broke out."

Du Zhenglun said: "Your Majesty asked you how to explain Li Zhan's matter, but you went so far. Is it because of a guilty conscience?"

"My explanation is on this topic."

Li Yi'an faced Li Shimin, bowed his hands, and continued: "Your Majesty is a person who experienced that era, and he should have the deepest feeling. Yang Guang did so much and led to the demise of the Sui Dynasty. So who overthrew them?"

"I!"

Li Shimin blurted out, but felt that it was inappropriate to say so, and continued: "There is also the Supreme Emperor, and everyone here."

"Then the question is, is your Majesty's Li family an aristocratic family?"

Li Yian asked again.

"My Li family comes from Longxi, so it is naturally a family!"

Li Shimin just nodded in response, and the next moment he seemed to realize what Li Yian was going to say next, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, showing an imperceptible smile.

Sure enough, it is Mr., and the point of entry is so unique.

"Are Yu Wenhuaji, Yang Xuangan, Xiao Xian and others all from aristocratic families?"

This time Li Yi'an asked everyone.

Although Yuwen's family is from Xianbei, but Yuwenhuaji's grandfather Yuwensheng was from the Shangzhu Kingdom of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and his father Yuwenshu was the general of Zuowuwei in the Sui Dynasty. The rich and famous family at that time.

Yang Xuangan is the direct son of Yang Su, a member of the Hongnong Yang family, a family that has lasted for hundreds of years.

As for Xiao Xian, the Lanling Xiao clan, although not of the same bloodline as Xiao Yu, is also of the same family, and Xiao Yu also knows this.

They nodded involuntarily when they heard what Li Yi'an said. Some of them saw what he was trying to say, and some of them were stunned.

Among the officials, Yuwen Shiji nodded even faster when he heard Li Yi'an mentioning his elder brother, also inexplicable.

"In a sense, the Sui Dynasty was overthrown by the aristocratic family. In the end, it won for His Majesty's Li family. Then His Majesty wants to see that the aristocratic family still has the ability to overthrow the Tang Dynasty?"

Li Yi'an said the most important point.

The officials of the aristocratic family present were all shocked. Although what Li Yian said was correct, they were still full of anger after being shocked. Is this to discredit their aristocratic family or deliberately exaggerate the facts.

"They dare!"

Li Shimin was very angry.

He came from that era, so it is easy to understand what Li Yi'an meant when he said that.

At the beginning, besides Yang Guang's own death, part of the reason was that the aristocratic family violated the interests of the aristocratic family, especially the Guanlong Group.

Li Tang's Li family can also be said to be a representative launched by the Guanlong Group.

Li Yi'an's words seemed to tell them that the aristocratic family had the possibility of rebellion, he did this only to weaken this possibility, and he was right.

But the court's actions, including the previous imperial examination system, would affect the interests of the aristocratic family. Li Shimin quickly thought of this, and of course the officials below also thought of this, but no one dared to bring it up.

At this time, if the aristocratic family wants to follow the example of overthrowing Yang Guang and deal with Li Shimin, the feasibility is not as great as it was then. The Tang Dynasty did not have as serious social conflicts as the Sui Dynasty, and the necessary conditions were lacking.

This is why Li Shimin is so stable.

"It's a bunch of nonsense and strong words!"

Gao Shilian finally couldn't help shouting: "According to what Li Zhan said, Dou Jiande was only a leader of 200 people before the incident, Du Fuwei and Fugong Er were still thieves, and Li Zitong was just a fisherman. Isn’t it possible for all the people in the world to rebel? Should we kill all the people?”

"Does Gao Shizhong know why the people rebelled?"

Li Yian asked again.

Gao Shilian was taken aback by this question, thought for a while, and finally said: "Oppressed."

"It's right to be oppressed. May I ask if Your Majesty has ever oppressed the people?"

Li Yian asked again.

"I've never done anything like this before."

Li Shimin thought of seeing the naked common people near the Ganye Temple, and felt a pang of sorrow in his heart. He sighed and said, "I have been longing to change people's livelihood so that ordinary people have clothes to keep out the cold and food to fill their stomachs." , there is a house to live in, and you can even eat meat!"

"But in reality, there is still oppression of the people."

However, Li Yi'an shattered Li Shimin's beautiful fantasy at this time.

"presumptuous!"

Gao Shilian said again: "You are talking about Li Zhan, is your Majesty oppressing the people?"

Li Shimin frowned slightly, thinking in his heart, after doing so much, I really still oppressed the people?impossible!

"Of course it's not His Majesty who oppresses the people. Duke Yu and Duke Du should know who it is, right?"

Li Yi'an's eyes fell on them.

Du Zhenglun opened his mouth, thinking about going to Jiangnan, he finally chose not to say anything.

Yu Shinan finally stepped forward and bowed his hands and said, "Your Majesty, when I went back to the south of the Yangtze River, I did see the current situation that Li Zhanshi said. The heavy rain in the south of the Yangtze River for half a month destroyed an unknown number of fields. The governors of Huzhou and Suzhou tried their best to recruit corvees and save them. But the fields, crops, and even houses and food of ordinary people were all washed away by a flood."

Thinking of that scene, and the scene where the people in Hangzhou gathered at the pier to bid farewell to Li Yi'an, Yu Shinan's eyes were a little moist, and he continued: "The fields and crops of ordinary people in Huzhou and Suzhou were all destroyed, and their food and seeds were gone. I don't know if they starved to death. How many people. In desperation, they had to rent the aristocratic family's land, but the aristocratic family doubled the rent, they not only have to pay taxes, but also pay rent, one can imagine how difficult it is."

It turned out that this was what Li Yi'an referred to as oppression.

Li Yi'an continued: "There are more than one places in the south of the Yangtze River for similar things. Your Majesty can go and find out how many aristocratic families oppressed the people during the severe drought last year. Even we in Chang'an can see the skyrocketing food prices. There are so many explanations for issues such as the merger of land and land.”

After finishing speaking, what he should explain today is almost the same.

Don't worry about what the final result will be, dig out the shortcomings of the family, and then maximize it, his goal will be achieved, what will happen next, what will happen, depends on their reaction, and Li Shimin's means .

Hearing Yu Shinan's words, all the ministers present quieted down, as if they were thinking about something.

Li Shimin had known about Hangzhou for a long time, but when he heard Yu Shinan say this, he felt angry again.

He could even imagine that the aristocratic family colluded with Goguryeo last year, which was simply a moth of the country.

"Your Majesty, I believe that Li Zhan's matter needs to be discussed in a long-term manner, and cannot be completely denied."

Du Ruhui was the first to break the quiet situation.
