bastard seizes tang

Chapter 602
Some people seem to be born with a very high sensitivity to the turmoil in the court and family disputes, and have a very high sense of the current situation. These people are born politicians, and Wu Meiniang is obviously such a person.

If Wu Meiniang was asked to decide the battle in Bianzhou, Wu Meiniang might be a little timid, hesitant, and even confused about the importance, but she could speak the truth about the intrigue among the local elites and the central and important officials, and Li Ke was far behind him.

Just as Wu Meiniang said, Li Shimin appointed Su Dingfang as the governor of Liangzhou, sitting in the northwest and controlling Tubo is just one of them. The other point is that Li Shimin intends to take this opportunity to suppress the power of the Guanlongmen faction in the army.

For more than a hundred years, everyone has established a country in the imperial court of Chang'an, thanks to the support of the Guan Longmen Clan. This was the case in the Western Wei Dynasty, the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Former Sui Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty. It is inseparable from the devastation of the Guanlongmen faction.

At the end of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the six towns revolted. Er Zhurong raised his arms and shouted, and the building of the Northern Wei Dynasty was about to collapse. Divided into two, the Eastern Wei and the Western Wei, the Eastern Wei was in Yecheng, and the Western Wei was in Chang'an.

After the founding of the Western Wei Dynasty, Yuwen Taiquan, a hero, turned to the government and the opposition. In order to fight against the Eastern Wei Dynasty dominated by Gao Huan, Yuwen Tai established the Eight Pillars Kingdom and divided power.

After several generations of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Xuan Yu Wenyun died of illness, leaving his youngest son Yu Wenyan as the emperor, and Yang Jian assisted the country. Sui proclaimed himself emperor.

However, after the founding of the former Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian, Yang Guang and his son learned the lessons of the subjugation of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and wanted to take the imperial examination, pro-combe clan, and reduce the power of the Guanlongmen Clan. Later, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty left Yangzhou in order to avoid the edge of the Longmen clan in Guanguan.

It can be said that for more than a hundred years, the Guanlongmen faction has been one of the important driving forces leading the trend of the world, driving the changes of the situation and the change of dynasties. With such a force, how could Li Shimin live in peace.

The Guanlong Clan, which started as a martial artist, has been strong for a hundred years, but now because of Li Shimin's strength and high prestige in the army, it has declined a bit, but its foundation has not been shaken. Today's Guanlong Military Mansion is still dominated by the Guanlong Clan.

The strength of the Guanlongmen Clan cannot be weakened in just a few years. In order to avoid retracing the old path of the Sui Dynasty, we must not use strong medicine, but can only develop it slowly. It will take [-], [-], or even several generations of emperors But now, Li Shimin, who has suffered many accidents, is obviously not as strong as in previous years, and intends to hand over this matter to the young and powerful prince Li Ke.

Tai Chi Palace, Ganlu Hall, and Inner Hall.

Baisu appointed Fang as the governor of Liangzhou and guarded against Tubo. This was the decision of Li Shimin and the other prime ministers after discussion. Su Dingfang is the governor of Liangzhou.After this incident, everyone dispersed, but Li Ke was the only one left behind by Li Shimin.

As Wu Meiniang said, Li Shimin's move was intended to suppress the Guanlongmen faction by the East Palace, and this matter is so important that no mistakes can be made, so Li Shimin did not intend to hide it from Li Ke.

"Ke'er, do you know why your father suddenly transferred Su Dingfang as the governor of Liangzhou?" Li Shimin asked Li Ke as soon as he opened his mouth.

As for Li Shimin's thoughts, although Li Ke has already guessed, but with Wu Meiniang's reminder, Li Ke will not lose his sense of proportion. Emperors never like others to speculate on their own thoughts. Although Li Ke and Li Shimin are father and son, Li Ke Also need to be a little cautious.

Li Ke replied to the end: "In recent years, Tubo has become more and more prosperous, and it has threatened the southwest of our Tang Dynasty. However, Li Xiyu's talent is not good, and he was demoted because of his affairs. The reason why my father transferred Su Dingfang to be the governor of Liangzhou is to guard against it. Tibet."

Li Shimin then asked: "Then why didn't I transfer him to Songzhou, but Liangzhou instead?"

Li Ke replied: "Songzhou is not easy to march westward. It is too passive. The battle between Tubo and our Tang Dynasty must be in Qinghai, not Sichuan and Shu. Songzhou is just a barrier, while Liangzhou is the blade."

Li Shimin smiled and said: "Yes, it is indeed good. You can see this step, which can be regarded as excellent vision and martial arts. In fact, regardless of your status, you are the best candidate to pacify Tubo, but as the prince , I should sit in Chang'an, and I can't go out of the town."

Li Ke said: "My minister is just talking about soldiers on paper. I have to learn a lot about planning and commanding in front of the battle."

Li Shimin smiled and said: "You are the prince, and you will be the king of my Tang Dynasty in the future. You have to learn not only these, but also learn the emperor's mind."

Li Ke looked at Li Shimin and said, "I don't know what my father wants."

Li Shimin said: "Teaching Su Dingfang to go to Liangzhou for my father is only one of the precautions against Tubo. It also means to use this to test and suppress the Guanlongmen Clan. The Guanlongmen Clan has been in power for too long and is too heavy. If you don't exercise restraint early, you will die sooner or later." trouble."

Li Ke heard the words, "suddenly realized" and said: "It turns out that there are very few Hebei people in the military government in Guanlong and Hexi who hold important positions such as Zhechong school lieutenant and commander-in-chief. The emperor ordered Su Dingfang to go this time. He intended to beat the Guanlongmen clan, but .”

Li Ke said, seemingly worried, and said to Li Shimin: "It's just that the Guanlongmen clan has deep roots and cannot be moved easily. Will the father's sudden behavior surprise them and force them to rebound?"

A confident smile appeared on Li Shimin's face, and he opened his hands and said to Li Ke: "Although I am not the great ancestor of the Tang Dynasty, I am also the founding emperor. The emperor's order is to follow the lead. You Yingguo are like me, you are also a young man who joined the army, with great achievements in battle, and a high prestige in the army, don't we father and son still be afraid that the Guanlongmen Clan will fail?"

Listening to Li Shimin's words, Li Ke seemed to instantly understand the reason and confidence of Li Shimin's move to close the Longmen Clan at this time.

Li Shimin, who was above Tang history, did not make a big move against the power of the Longmen Clan during his reign, not only because the time was not yet ripe, and the Tang Dynasty still needed to rely on his strength to fight inside and outside the Tang Dynasty, but more importantly, because of Li Shimin's candidate for the crown prince.

If Li Ke hadn't been there, Li Zhi, King of Jin, would have succeeded him as the prince of the Tang Dynasty, but Li Zhi had a weak temperament and was not good at martial arts.

But now it is different. Now Li Ke is the prince. Li Ke joined the army as a young man and was born in the army. He is not weak Li Shimin.

If one person is the hero, he can change the world, and if both father and son are heroes, why not?Don't dare to do it?
Li Ke said: "When Su Dingfang is an official going west, can I ask my ministers to come forward to see them off?"

Li Shimin nodded: "Su Dingfang was promoted by you, so you can send him off, it's just like shaking mountains and shaking tigers."

The decline of the Guanlongmen clan was originally 50 years later, when Wu Zetian proclaimed himself emperor, raised the butcher's knife, promoted the imperial examinations, and promoted the common people, but now because of Li Ke's presence, the butcher's knife has to be raised earlier.

　This chapter has spent a lot of space on the Guanlongmen clan at that time. It may be a bit long-winded, but if it is not explained clearly, some readers who have not read much historical literature may not be able to understand it. less time.
