"Daddy, they did it in the first grade, why don't you do it in the fifteenth grade?"
"Since they think that the godfather has a disobedient heart, the adopted son feels threatened by the five hundred."
"Why don't godfather take advantage of his plan and gather all his adopted sons in Zuojinwu Guard, and turn Zuojinwu Guard's tens of thousands of troops into godfather's private army?"
"General Guo Xun, the guard of the left prison, has become the running dog of that aristocratic family, and those aristocratic families want to get rid of the prince and make the King of Jin the emperor."
"My godfather can plan secretly first and wait for the opportunity."
"When the time comes, my godfather will be able to hold high the banner of righteousness for the sake of revenge for His Highness the Crown Prince and catch them all in one fell swoop..."
"In that case, the godfather's reputation will be unparalleled in the world, and he will be supported by a large army..."
Zhang Liang turned his head blankly, glanced at his adopted son, and then at his step-sibling Li.
The eyes of the two of them were full of ambition, but they had to admit the words of this rather clever godson.
It also ignited a raging fire in Zhang Liang's heart, who was already conceited and felt that he should be destined to be the one he was destined to be.
"Master, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Master, please don't forget it.
Those fortune-tellings and prophecies written by the profound Taoist priests for me all have my name on them..."
"You guys, please let me think about it again..."
Zhang Liang, who felt his heartbeat speeding up and bumping around like a deer, seemed a little timid at the moment.
"Sir, don't forget that those aristocratic families treat you like a lackey or a hawk, just in case the King of Jin becomes the emperor of the Tang Dynasty."
"And those aristocratic families may have become rich and powerful because of this, but sir, can you still hold the military power?"
"Although I don't know much about literacy, I still know that among the founding heroes of the past dynasties, the military commanders were the ones who died the most."
"They are willing to marry their daughter to Guo Xun's son, but they are not willing to marry a husband with a higher status."
"I'm afraid I'm already thinking about how I can get my husband to you..."
"That's enough!" Zhang Liang's face no longer turned red, but turned green.
The originally hesitant and nervous gaze was now full of sharp and fierce light.
"Yes, they can do it in the first year of junior high school, so how can they stop me from doing it in the fifteenth year?"
"Although I am a good man, I have spent my whole life in the army and crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.
How can they let them do whatever they want and treat me like a hawk, haha...
Shenji, go and call your brothers over, no, let them enter the house quietly through the side door tonight."
"I want to see how they feel when they think they are sure of victory, only to find that they have failed."
"I obey, my child." Zhang Shenji was ecstatic in his heart. After exchanging glances with his godmother Li, he quickly walked away...

"... What do you think after reading these secret reports from Luoyang?"
At this moment, Li Shimin was sitting comfortably behind the imperial eucalyptus, his eyes falling on Fang Xuanling and several other important ministers.
Fang Xuanling and others were looking at the shocking contents of these secret reports, and they were really shocked.
No one thought that those wealthy families could be so arrogant.
He actually regarded His Majesty's edict as if it were nothing, and rushed back to Luoyang in a short time in order to prevent His Highness the Crown Prince.
They actually used all kinds of despicable means to stop it, and all of this was just to let Jin Wang Li Zhi ascend the throne in Luoyang.
After reading for a long time, Ma Zhou put down the secret report in his hand with a gloomy face, bowed respectfully to Li Shimin and asked.
"Your Majesty, I am confused about something. Although those aristocratic families are deeply rooted in the court.
However, Zhao Guogong is the number one hero of Lingyan Pavilion and has great prestige in the court."
"And Duke Yun is in charge of Luoyang's defense and military affairs, and has a large army stationed in Luoyang."
"No matter how much trouble those aristocratic families make, even if Duke Zhao stands up and raises his arms, he can completely suppress those aristocratic families."
"However, when I look at these secret reports, it seems that Duke Zhao and Duke Yun have no intention of obstructing them. Is this an intentional arrangement by His Majesty?"
"..." Upon hearing this, several important ministers present all looked towards Li Shimin.
Li Shimin had a thought in his mind, yes, Changsun Wuji had specially arranged to stay there.
I just hoped that he could withstand the test, but he failed himself in the end.
However, there was one thing that Li Shimin did not expect, and that was Zhang Liang, a loyal military minister.
He actually walked together with those aristocratic families calmly, you know, the reason why he kept him.
Just because he came from a humble background and was incompatible with the aristocratic families, he never thought that he would be bribed by those aristocratic families and become an accomplice.
The situation in Luoyang was obviously a little different from Li Shimin's original calculation.
But now that Ma Zhou asked this question, the wise and mighty Emperor of the Tang Dynasty could only smile enigmatically.
Seeing His Majesty's expression, a group of shrewd and intimate ministers all had a tacit understanding and did not continue to ask further questions.

"Next, I intend to leave Jinyang quietly and go to Tongguan."
When Li Shimin suddenly spoke like this, all his close friends were immediately confused.
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely unacceptable. Nowadays, those aristocratic families no longer hide their wolfish ambitions."
"They even sent killers to harm His Highness the Crown Prince."
"If Your Majesty leaves quietly, there will not be many soldiers accompanying him. If the news is leaked at all, it will be discovered by others."
"In that case, Your Majesty will feel like you are in the mouth of a tiger."
Seeing that none of these close ministers agreed, they all tried to dissuade him.
Li Shimin, who had already made up his mind, slowly raised his big hand and signaled all the important ministers to shut up.
"Now that the aristocratic family has revealed its trump card, there is no reason for me to sit back and watch such wild and rebellious behavior."
Li Shimin's eyes turned and fell on Li Ji.
"Li Qing, how are those soldiers and horses arranged?"
"Your Majesty, we are staying in Xijing. Duke Qiao (Chai Jin) has already led 70,000 elite soldiers from Guanzhong to Tongguan, eyeing the land of Heluo.
General Gongsun Wuda has quietly arrived in Luzhou with 5,000 troops. Xue Wanche, with 5,000 cavalry, is marching day and night towards Jincheng..."
After hearing the arrangement of the Minister of War, although the other important ministers tried to persuade him, they also understood that His Majesty had already lost so many children. How could it be that at the last moment, he was far away in Jinyang and not in Luoyang?
"Your Majesty, please accompany your Majesty." Fang Xuanling bowed to Li Shimin first.
"Your Majesty, I am also willing to follow Your Majesty."
"Hurry up and invite all the ministers. You are all my confidants. Even if you don't say anything, I will ask you to accompany me as counselors.
However, Fang Qing and Li Laoqing’s family, I still need you two to sit in Jinyang to command the armies and control the land of Shanxi."
Li Jing and Fang Xuanling could only nod their heads. After all, His Majesty's whole family is still here in Jinyang Palace, and there must be no important ministers here.
"In addition, those two, um, Cheng Sanlang and King Wu, I will take them with me."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Upon hearing that the two monster moths were about to be carried away, all the ministers secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
