Chapter 44         How to deal with the gentry!

"Haha! Son-in-law, if you talk about this with the gentry, you will be even more interested in your father, tell me quickly!"

Li Shimin said with a smile.

Li Shimin loved and hated the aristocratic people, and loved these people with talent and knowledge, hated that they could not be used by themselves, and even slandered themselves everywhere.

"Father-in-law, think about it, if Wei Zheng was in charge of the Ministry of Education, and he was the leader, and promoted the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, then should we compile books first?"

Xu Tian said in a deep voice.

kindness!

Li Shimin was stunned. He hadn't thought about this before, and he just thought that Wei Zheng would be in charge of the Ministry of Education and be a benchmark.

"Indeed! The effect of compiling some new books will be much better."

Li Shimin said in a deep voice.

"Haha! Since it is a compilation of books, these books must be based on the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. Wei Zheng is not upright, so there is no problem."

"But, can Wei Zheng finish the work of compiling books by himself?

Obviously it is not possible. In addition to the Ministry of Rites, there is anyone in the Tang Dynasty who is competent for the compilation of books?"

"Father-in-law, you have to know that you don't need dozens of people to compile books, but you compile them overnight. In the end, you still have to use the gentry."

"This group of people study literature every day. If they want to do something bad in books, no one can find it!"

"When the ideas promoted by books are wrong, can the children learn it well?"

Xu Tian said with a smile.

this!

Fang Xuanling was standing aside, and was frightened when he heard this. Xu Tian said that as long as the Ministry of Education was established and the books were compiled, the gentry would definitely be used.

And the people of the aristocratic clans will definitely not be reliable. This is a vicious cycle!

The most important thing is that we are telling Your Majesty both openly and secretly that the gentry should not be kept!

Li Shimin understood the meaning similar to Fang Xuanling, and he asked tentatively: "Son-in-law, since this is the case, I can completely propose to the emperor to issue a decree. If someone makes trouble when compiling books, it will be a serious crime to destroy the nine clans! In this way, it will shock those slutty people among the gentry."

After hearing this, Xu Tian smiled slightly and said, "Father-in-law, it's not that my son-in-law said you, you take things too simply. If the emperor issued a decree, it could shock the gentry. Why should we be so troublesome?"

"The gentry people have big trees and deep roots, and many officials in the court support them. Therefore, they cannot just suppress them, but use means."

When Li Shimin heard this, he looked shocked and said, "Oh! The virtuous son-in-law said that he should not suppress it blindly. He should use means. Could it be that the virtuous son-in-law has a way?"

"Of course there is a way. Has my father-in-law ever heard of Aoying?"

Xu Tian asked.

"Hot Eagle?

Of course, I know it as a father.”

Li Shimin said in a deep voice.

Eagles have a arrogant personality. If they want to subdue, they have to smear their temperament. At the same time, they think that you are more patient than them. Only in this way can they truly surrender.

"My father-in-law is indeed knowledgeable. The most common way to kill an eagle is to look at it, hold it up day and night, not allow it to sleep until it can't hold on, and then it will surrender!"

"The same is true for those gentry. To put it bluntly, their arrogance is to rely on their literary character, and they feel noble and arrogant!"

"They think that their knowledge is extraordinary, and even the priests today cannot compare. If they want them to surrender sincerely, they must let them down, let their literary character become a joke, their nobleness become dirty, and their knowledge become dross!"

Xu Tian said in a deep voice.

At this time, Fang Xuanling could no longer speak. The method Xu Tian said was extremely cruel to the aristocrats.

After hearing this, Li Shimin nodded secretly.

"Son-in-law, what should I do?"

Li Shimin asked.

"First of all, when Wei Zheng was in charge of the Ministry of Education, the emperor could send money to the gentry when he compiled books. No one in this world doesn't love money!"

"With these, the emperor can win at least some of the gentry for their own use. The remaining people have taken money and wanted to establish a chastity archway, so that the people of the gentry can make the money public, so that everyone in the world knows that the gentry will also bow for money!"

"In this way, it can play a role in killing the chicken and intimidating the monkeys, and ensure that the gentry who were attracted by the priests will never dare to disobey the priests again."

"Secondly, their awesomeness is nothing more than reading books of sages and doing things of sages. However, since ancient times, many literary and talented men have been in and out of places of romance and romance."

"The emperor can find some storytellers to compile the matters of the children of the gentry and the great scholars entering and leaving the land of romance and romance, and tell them on the overpass to the people."

"In this way, public opinion can be created, and the people can talk about this matter after dinner, and it can also be spread quickly. Do those gentry still have the face to say that they are noble?"

"Third, although their knowledge is high, they are not without flaws. For example, there is a golden house in the book and a beautiful woman in the book."

“Isn’t this saying that studying is for making money, and studying is for women?

In this way, the knowledge of those gentry became dross!"

Xu Tian said in a singular manner.

Cheng Yaojin had a slight understanding of it. Li Shimin's mouth was almost unable to close. How could Xu Tian be so hurt?

But, I like it very much!

Fang Xuanling looked at Xu Tian like a monster. If His Majesty had known this plan earlier, he would have been suppressed and would have been unable to raise his head.

When Xu Tian saw Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling so shocked, he suddenly realized that his father-in-law was from the gentry. His tricks to deal with the gentry were so vicious, so his father-in-law wouldn't be angry, right?

"Ahem! Father-in-law, what the son-in-law just said is actually to give you a warning. If the emperor now uses such a vicious trick, you can also be prepared early?"

Xu Tian coughed twice and said.

Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "What the wise son-in-law said makes sense. This method seems vicious, but in fact it has many benefits for the people in the world!"

"As the saying goes, a small person is not a gentleman, a non-toxic man is not a husband. He admires the talent of a son-in-law for his father!"

Forehead……

Are you sure you are a member of the gentry?

Xu Tian seriously suspected that his father-in-law had long turned against Li Shimin, and he wanted to take the opportunity to suppress other gentry members and make himself the number one gentry in the world!

Lao Liu!

This is the sixth in the Tang Dynasty!

"What my father-in-law said is very much."

Xu Tian looked at such a father-in-law and said respectfully, but he thought of a hundred countermeasures in his mind in case of emergency.
Chapter completed!
