Returning to the East Palace, all kinds of porcelain in the East Palace were smashed to the ground by Li Chengqian. Looking at the scene in front of them, the chambermaids and maids squatted down fearfully, not even daring to raise their heads.
At this time, Li Chengqian's eyes were somewhat selective and bloodthirsty. If anyone disturbed him at this time, Li Chengqian was not a person who could easily let others go.
At this time, Li Baiyao, the right concubine of the prince, came to the room, glanced at the debris that Li Chengqian smashed, waved to the frightened maids and chamberlains to let them go, and then said to the prince, "Prince, you have lost your temper!"
"Master Li!" Li Chengqian originally wanted to get angry, but when he saw Li Baiyao, he still bowed respectfully.
Li Baiyao looked at Li Chengqian and just said calmly,
"King Yan fought with his life to finally get the opportunity to compete with you. King Yan is afraid of high morale and is preparing to show off his grand ambitions.
If you continue to do nothing in the East Palace, I am afraid that soon, when King Yan returns with a great victory, his power will really rival yours!"
When Li Chengqian heard Li Baiyao's words, he looked at Li Baiyao in surprise and said, "Master Li?!"
Li Baiyao watched Li Chengqian regain his composure from anger, but showed a happy smile and said,
"Now that the prince is awake, I need you to know that we have no retreat from this battle and we cannot afford to lose!"
When Li Chengqian heard Li Baiyao's words, he took a deep breath, looked at Li Baiyao and said, "Master Li, why are you willing to tell me something?"
Although Li Baiyao was the right concubine of the crown prince, these official positions were arranged by Li Shimin, and most of them were used to educate and supervise Li Chengqian.
Although Li Chengqian is nominally the leader, whether they can be dispatched is another matter.
But this time Li Baiyao was actually willing to take the initiative to participate, which Li Chengqian did not expect.
After all, the battle between him and Li Tai, win or lose, really has little impact on these veterans.
Li Baiyao said calmly, "I have no personal grudge with King Yan, but a moral dispute, so I don't want King Yan to gain power!"
Li Chengqian felt a little confused when he heard Li Baiyao's words.
"Although Qing Que is cunning and clever, what he does can be regarded as doing his best for the country. How can he argue with Master Li!"
Well, although Li Chengqian was unhappy when he saw Li Tai, he still recognized Li Tai's abilities.
If not, I wouldn't feel so much pressure. If I belittle Li Tai too much, it would make me look very arrogant.
"Because what King Yan wants is to enfeoff, but what I want is to unify prefectures and counties, and I will never be complicit in it!"
Li Baiyao said categorically at this time, but there was no hesitation at all.
When Li Chengqian heard this, he immediately understood why Li Baiyao was willing to help him, and said quickly,
"Qingque is perverse and self-righteous, thinking that he can shake the unified system by himself. It is indeed shallow and ignorant.
Now that Master Li is willing to help, I would like to ask Master Li to tell me how to do it!"
Seeing that Li Chengqian believed in him, Li Baiyao couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
To be honest, this time is not just a simple dispute between Li Baiyao and Li Tai. In fact, there is another point, that is, the Confucianism represented by Li Baiyao began to intervene in this dispute over the inheritance.
Because as Li Tai and Li Chengqian came of age, and especially Li Chengqian began to really feel the pressure from Li Tai, Confucianism finally had the opportunity to intervene.
To be honest, Confucian could turn a blind eye to Li Tai's other matters.
Because Confucianism itself is a very tolerant culture, no matter what Li Tai researches, Confucianism can swallow up everything that Li Tai researches while being tolerant.
Therefore, Confucians turned a blind eye to Li Tai's efforts to open an agricultural school or study any laws.
Because according to Confucianism, as long as the prince ascends the throne, it is almost time to put Li Tai in the pot.
Therefore, the hatred between Li Tai and the Confucians is not that deep, but there is only one thing that the Confucians cannot accept, and that is enfeoffment!
Confucianism is a theory suitable for great unification, but as long as it falls into a feudal situation or has strong external enemies, the country dominated by Confucianism will decline at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then be swallowed up by the surrounding enemies.
For Confucianism, its enemy is not the doctrine of any school at all, but the system of enfeoffment.
Because in the case of enfeoffment, competition existed in all countries, but Confucianism taught people how to maintain internal stability.
In the cruel competition of national games, whoever learns will die anyway. Whether it is the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States, the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Five Dynasties and the Ten Kingdoms, even the Song Dynasty, and even the Ming Dynasty, their history has proved that Confucianism is not suitable for the core of competition between countries.
program.
Of course, you can also put it in another way that is easier to understand, that is, zombies are rampant, kill the Virgin first, only the Virgin has the crushing power, otherwise she will be eliminated.
Of course, this cannot be blamed on Confucianism, because when the country was a powerful unified dynasty, Confucianism was the shining pearl of Chinese civilization and a beacon of civilization for educating foreigners. But as long as it falls into disputes between countries, the weakness of Confucianism will be reflected.
come out.
If there was only one Chinese nation on the entire earth, it would not be impossible for Confucianism to last forever.
But who made the whole world not only exist in isolation from China, so even though Confucianism was still advanced in the Tang Dynasty, Li Tai was already thinking of ways to limit the development of this theory.
And the path Li Tai found is the so-called enlightenment? Of course it is not.
Rather, like Li Shimin, he insisted on enfeoffment. He did not need to specifically suppress Confucianism, it was enough to remove the firepower from the cauldron.
As long as the enfeoffment can be carried out smoothly, under constant competition, countries dominated by Confucianism will naturally be eliminated.
Of course, because it is all a competition between Chinese nations, when a reasonable fig leaf is needed in the end, Confucianism will be brought back and Confucius' brand will be erected.
But as the saying goes, Confucianism is a beacon in prosperous times, but it will be dimmed in troubled times.
However, enfeoffment was the greatest promotion for the theory of enlightenment now advocated by Li Tai.
Because of the chaotic environment, people will pursue efficiency, and this will naturally increase support for these theories of improving production efficiency.
Why did Legalism during the Warring States Period become the doctrine that unified the world? It was because this doctrine pursued efficiency and pragmatism.
But after the great unification, the entire civilization no longer directly pursues efficiency, but needs Confucianism to unify thoughts and stabilize society.
After experiencing the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and inheriting the Qin, Han, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Confucians do not say what the future will be like, but they at least know what kind of living environment they are least suitable for.
So they didn't like Li Tai's idea of enfeoffment, even if it was to enfeoff foreign countries, the Confucians were not willing to do so.
Because as long as there is enfeoffment, there will be competition, and sooner or later the weakness of Confucianism will be exposed if there is competition.
Confucianism, on the other hand, just wants to continue to live peacefully in the unified civilization of China until it is destroyed together with China.
Li Baiyao looked at Li Chengqian and said, "Now, whether the prince is willing or not, the prince will compete with King Yan on the same stage. Is the prince absolutely sure?"
Li Chengqian looked at Li Baiyao, but smiled bitterly and said, "If I was absolutely sure, why would I be sulking here?"
Li Baiyao said, "King Yan is good at business management. Since he has chosen to develop Tuyuhun, it is very likely that Tuyuhun will be developed. The only way we can avoid falling behind is to get out as soon as possible!"
"Master Li, do you mean to ask me to give up the grass seeding plan?" Li Chengqian couldn't help but be shocked when he heard Li Baiyao's words.
But Li Baiyao shook his head at this time and said, "What I mean is that we must complete Longyou's grass seeding plan as quickly as possible!"
"Complete this plan as quickly as possible?" Li Chengqian was somewhat surprised.
Li Baiyao said, "We should not give King Yan a chance to compete on the same stage. No matter how bad it is, at least before King Yan can achieve results, we must achieve results first and get out of the "Grass Seed Plan".
In terms of business operations, compared with the King of Yan, the prince is originally your weakness, and it is unwise to use your own weakness to fight against the strength of the King of Yan!"
After Li Chengqian heard Li Baiyao's analysis, the situation immediately became clear.
In any case, the current King of Yan is still fighting on the Tuyuhun front line and has no chance to farm at all, but he has already started to do this.
Under such circumstances, all one has to do is to stop as soon as possible and complete the matter.
Just as Li Baiyao said, don't give Li Tai a chance to compete on the same stage, let alone fight where Li Tai is strong.
"I understand!" Li Chengqian regained his composure and calmly said to Li Baiyao, "I will inform Xu Jingchong and ask him to speed up and complete this stupid plan at any cost."
When Li Baiyao saw that Li Chengqian understood what he meant, he didn't say much, and just gave a slight salute to Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian even smiled and returned the gift to Li Baiyao.
Li Chengqian felt that Li Tai's military exploits were not necessarily all bad things. It was precisely because of Li Tai's rise that the forces that originally wanted Li Tai to be suppressed felt a bit of urgency, so he decisively bet on himself.
.
For a time, misfortunes and blessings depended on each other, and the fate of life was truly wonderful.
Li Chengqian's order was immediately issued to Xu Jingzong, asking Xu Jingzong to make comprehensive arrangements for the grass seeding plan in the shortest possible time, at least before Li Tai's Hehuang Valley was harvested.
Li Chengqian doesn't want to worry about the process, only the results.
When Xu Jingzong received Li Chengqian's order, his eyes darkened and he almost lost his breath.
After all, Li Chengqian didn't care about the grassroots. Although Xu Jingzong came up with the idea of replacing the economy with administration, as things progressed these days, he still understood that his policy of replacing the economy with administration could be implemented, but only if he allowed himself to slow down.
Advance slowly.
If it gets up soon, let alone the people working at the bottom running away, even I might fall into a trap!
Xu Jingzong took a deep breath, thinking that no matter what, he finally came to power, but he couldn't be kicked out.
And take advantage of this opportunity to get a sum of money from a wealthy family first.
When they paid a lot of money, I really didn't believe that those aristocratic families would let their money go to waste.
Anyway, even if you want to die, you have to drag a group of people to die with you.
The only pity is that Wang Xuance escaped very quickly, leaving him no one to take the blame for, but now he has to find a way to find someone cleanly, and he has to escape as soon as possible.
This "Seed Plan" is just a tool to fight against the King of Yan, but if it becomes a competition between the two sides, Xu Jingzong does not feel that his administrative ability is comparable to that of the King of Yan. People need to be self-aware!
When Xu Jingzong thought of this, he couldn't help but look at his subordinates, Changsun Chong, Du He, Fang Yizhi, etc. with a sinister look.
There is a big boss behind each of them. If I want to attack them, I am afraid that the big boss behind them will eat me.
In comparison, Hu Sizheng seemed to be the easiest to bully. His teacher was Zhang Wansui from Taipus Temple, but Hu Sizheng had some conflicts with the people of Taipus Temple in order to get along with the prince.
After all, Zhang Wansui advocated a good relationship with King Yan. To be more precise, there was a cooperative relationship between Li Tai and Taipusi. Now the horse farm in Gaoling is still making money every day!
And Hu Sizheng understood that if he continued to stay in Taipus Temple, he would not be able to become the minister of Taipus Temple in the future, because Zhang Wansui's direct descendant was Wei Panti, and he was just a substitute for Wei Panti.
So when Hu Sizheng saw an opportunity with the prince, he jumped over decisively. After all, there is no greater achievement in this world than Conglong's merit. By then, his achievements may not be just that of Taipu Temple Minister.
Hu Sizheng worked very seriously after he came here. He really wanted to achieve results. He got up earlier than a chicken every day and worked more than an ox.
Every time Xu Jingzong was in a state of revelry, it was Hu Si who was carrying a heavy load in order to gain the prince's admiration.
Xu Jingzong waited until the young masters from aristocratic families left one by one. Seeing that it was getting late, he lit candles and then said to Hu Sizheng with a smile:
"Hu Ling, I have reported to the prince your contribution in the "Seed Project".
When the "Seed Project" is completed, at least the servant Shaoqing will not be able to escape!"
To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that Hu Sizheng didn't believe it, Xu Jingzong would have even used it to deceive the minister of Taipu Temple.
When Hu Si heard Xu Jingzong's words, he quickly saluted Xu Jingzong and said, "Thank you Xu Sheren for recommending me!"
"Eh!" Xu Jingzong frowned when he heard Hu Sizheng's words and corrected him, "I want to thank the prince for being so wise!"
"Thank you, Prince, for your wisdom!" Hu Sizheng heard Xu Jingzong's words and quickly reacted and said loudly.
"Yes!" Xu Jingzong nodded, "Of course, the prince is willing to grant you this official position, so are you willing to relieve the prince's worries?"
"I will gladly go through fire and water for the crown prince!" Hu Sizheng naturally expressed his position quickly.
"Well!" Xu Jingzong said, giving the new bag in his hand to Hu Sizheng, and then said calmly, "Let's take a look!"
Hu Sizheng read the contents of the letter. After reading it, his face changed. He suddenly raised his head and looked towards Xu Jingzong.
Xu Jingzong leisurely took the letter from Hu Sizheng's hand, put it on the candlestick, lit it, and said slowly:
"Hu Shaoqing, people like us who have no background don't have many opportunities to climb up. You should think about it!"
Xu Jingzong burned the letter from the prince, blew it gently, and turned it into ashes, and walked out of the room leisurely!
Hu Si was looking at the flying ashes and gradually clenched his fists.
