Du Ruhui paused for a moment and then continued: "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. If we have scruples everywhere, it will be really difficult to solve the food problem. As Wang Can said, instead of fearing the five surnames and seven
I hope these wealthy families might as well take action. After all, no matter how bad the situation is, it cannot be as bad as it is now."
Li Shimin lowered his eyes and thought.
In his heart, he was actually a little hesitant. After all, the current situation was very bad and it was not easy for the whole country.
Du Ruhui continued: "Of course, if this is done, people from the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes will most likely target Your Majesty and even start to mobilize their forces in order to influence the situation of the court. At this time, the Tang Dynasty will also be in difficulty. But as long as it gets over it
, then the Tang Dynasty will be an unprecedented Tang Dynasty. Even these big families with five surnames and seven hopes will have less and less influence on the government."
Li Shimin sighed.
When Du Ruhui heard Li Shimin sigh, he knew exactly why Li Shimin sighed.
the reason is simple.
If it were normal times, with such a movable type printing technology, and Li Shimin slowly planning, it would be extremely easy to weaken the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes.
But now, time waits for no one.
This is something that can't be helped.
Du Ruhui said: "Your Majesty, this matter cannot be delayed, it must be done."
Li Shimin nodded, but walked straight forward. After a while, he came to the carriage and saw Yuan Tiangang, whose breath was weak and even looked extremely decadent.
Li Shimin said: "Yuan Tiangang, what on earth is going on?"
Du Ruhui also looked at Yuan Tiangang. Du Ruhui knew Yuan Tiangang's ability. He was a person with real ability, not a pretender.
Yuan Tiangang sighed and said: "Your Majesty, as soon as I entered Wang Can's hall and saw Wang Can's face, I started to calculate. The face of Wang Can is actually the face of the person who died young."
"But now, he has become a saint, and the gap between the front and the back is huge. Such a situation is extremely surprising, so I started to make calculations."
"But it is estimated that it went smoothly at first, and there was no problem. But after a while, it seemed to be a blur, and it was chaotic. It was difficult to guess the secrets, and there was not even a trace of signs."
"It was as if a mighty force came down from somewhere, causing my speculation to backfire. It was suddenly interrupted, causing me to vomit blood. In fact, even my internal organs were injured."
Yuan Tiangang sighed: "I'm afraid it will be difficult to calculate in a short period of time."
Li Shimin narrowed his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "You just said that Wang Can has the appearance of a saint, which means that there will be a person like Lao Tzu or Confucius in the Tang Dynasty who can be a true saint."
"right!"
Yuan Tiangang nodded and answered.
After a pause, Yuan Tiangang continued: "That's why it's hard for me to speculate. It's also precisely Wang Can's face that corresponds to the astrology observed by the minister before. Wang Can must be the person who reversed the fate of the Tang Dynasty and made the country
The key to the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty."
"hiss!"
Li Shimin took a breath.
He was surprised.
Unexpectedly, the person he was looking for turned out to be a man of fifteen or sixteen years old who had not yet become an official. In fact, Li Shimin originally speculated that even the person who could reverse the fate of the Tang Dynasty should be an elder.
That's it.
But looking at it now, it's different.
This surprised Li Shimin.
However, after Li Shimin listened to Wang Can's words, he still had some faith in Wang Can, because although Wang Can said he was off-center, the methods he used were not simple.
"Let's go back to the palace first."
Li Shimin gave the order and took Du Ruhui and Yuan Tiangang back to the palace. However, on the way, Li Shimin arranged for someone to send Yuan Tiangang back to rest, and arranged someone overnight to call the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling.
The monarch and his ministers were together. Li Shimin talked about Wang Can's solution, looked at a few people, and said: "What do you think about Wang Can's suggestion? Let's hear it."
Changsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty, I think Wang Can's proposal is purely nonsense. You know, once this is done, the big families with five surnames and seven hopes will counterattack. The Tang Dynasty's already weak foundation will be even more serious.
Rotten."
Du Ruhui said: "But if we don't adopt this method, where will we get these grains from? Is it possible to see all the people starve to death in front of our eyes?"
Changsun Wuji said: "Although the people are starving to death and life is difficult, at any rate, the Tang Dynasty is still there. As long as the Tang Dynasty is there, the overall situation will not be chaotic. What's more, the whole country is not suffering from drought and locusts. Now it is
This sign has appeared in Guanzhong. Now, we can only get through it. Once we get through it, it will be much better."
After a pause, Changsun Wuji said: "If you want to deal with people with five surnames and seven looks, you must not be in a hurry, but you must plan for it slowly. Only in this way can the stability of the Tang Dynasty be ensured. The long-term peace and stability of the Tang Dynasty cannot be relied on by playing tricks or swords.
Go off the beaten track."
Du Ruhui actually approved of Wang Can's plan in his heart.
Because the Tang Dynasty is already difficult enough.
However, all the members of the aristocratic family shied away and ignored the emperor. They all lived behind closed doors and ignored each other. Therefore, Du Ruhui's original intention was to destroy the five surnames and Qi Wang.
Du Ruhui said: "Your Majesty, I still insist on my opinion. In the current situation, the only choice is to take the wrong side. If you don't care about the life and death of the people in Guanzhong, how will the people of the world regard your Majesty?"
Changsun Wuji said: "Thunder, rain and dew are all your kindness. All people in the world should know how difficult it is for Your Majesty."
Du Ruhui immediately retorted.
The two people immediately started fighting, and neither wanted to give in.
Li Shimin did not interrupt for the time being and listened quietly. After listening for a while, he stopped the two people arguing and his eyes fell on Fang Xuanling.
Fang Xuanling never spoke from the beginning to the end.
Haven't made a statement yet.
Under Li Shimin's command, Fang Xuanling was also an extremely key person. In particular, Fang Xuanling had many strategies and could be called a man of astounding intelligence, so he was highly valued by Li Shimin.
Li Shimin said: "Xuanling, what do you think of this matter now?"
Fang Xuanling is now in her forties, already in her fifties. At this age, Fang Xuanling has excellent experience and vision.
Fang Xuanling replied: "Your Majesty, from my perspective, Wang Can's strategy is also excellent. However, the person who comes forward cannot be your Majesty, and your Majesty cannot summon him in person. It is best to arrange for someone to go and lobby these important people."
Families, let people from major families donate food voluntarily. In this way, Your Majesty will not have no way out."
Li Shimin said: "Xuanling, do you mean to ask Wang Can to lobby?"
"yes!"
Fang Xuanling answered immediately.
That's what he meant.
As long as it is Wang Can who goes there, the one who makes Qiwang of the fifth surname angry and is hostile to Qiwang of the fifth surname is Wang Can, not Li Shimin. Even the people of Qiwang of the fifth surname know that this is essentially Li Shimin.
However, people with the fifth surname and Qi Wang could not afford to offend Li Shimin, so in the end they could only hate Wang Can.
This is pushing someone to take the blame.
Fang Xuanling's expression was solemn. After a short pause, he continued: "Your Majesty, it is the most appropriate way to let Wang Can come forward now. If Wang Can is not allowed to come forward, then the final possibility is that the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes
I think it is inappropriate to take action against the imperial court. Moreover, according to His Majesty, Wang Can is an eloquent person and is a suitable candidate."
Li Shimin said: "Wang Can is not a man who cares about fame and fortune. He doesn't care much about officialdom, let alone asking him to serve as an envoy for the imperial court. In my opinion, this matter is not easy!"
Fang Xuanling said: "I am willing to give it a try."
Du Ruhui said: "My brother-in-law Ye Qingkong also has some friendship with Wang Can. Therefore, I am willing to assist the prime minister."
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were Li Shimin's right and left advisers. The relationship between the two was already excellent. Therefore, Du Ruhui was willing to help Fang Xuanling.
Li Shimin saw this and said: "In that case, let's do it like this."
"Everyone go down and rest!"
Li Shimin waved his hand.
"I resign!"
Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui went out together.
The expression on Changsun Wuji's face was solemn. He stood at the door of Ganlu Hall and said in a deep voice: "Du Ruhui, you are really harming the country! You know, it took a lot of effort for the Tang Dynasty to settle down a little. You are now
This proposal is tantamount to pushing Datang into the most dangerous situation. You are doing this to harm the country."
Du Ruhui said in a deep voice: "What will happen to Changsun Wuji in the end is unknown. Especially since you don't have a solution strategy. Since you don't have a solution strategy, why do you stop him?"
"Different road non-phase plan!"
Changsun Wuji took a deep breath, flicked his sleeves, and turned around to leave.
After Changsun Wuji left, Fang Xuanling smiled and said: "Keming, actually you don't need to argue with Changsun Wuji. In short, let's see the specific results."
Du Ruhui said: "Brother Xuanling, there is one thing you don't know. That is that my Majesty went to see Wang Can tonight, and Yuan Tiangang also went there. He deduced that Wang Can had signs of a saint. In fact, Yuan Tiangang deduced that Wang Can had signs of a saint.
The backlash caused me to vomit blood on the spot."
Fang Xuanling said: "Seriously?"
Du Ruhui said: "This is true."
Fang Xuanling laughed and said: "If this is the case, I really want to meet Wang Can. This person may be the person who can solve the dilemma of the Tang Dynasty. I have no shirking responsibility!"
After a pause, Fang Xuanling said: "Keming, you have also met Wang Can. Please tell me what kind of person Wang Can is."
Du Ruhui said: "It's very special, especially Wang Can's smooth journey and Wang Can's magnanimity, which are extraordinary. However, you have to know the details after seeing him."
Fang Xuanling nodded.
Until now, it can only be understood clearly by seeing it.
The two of them chatted and walked out of the imperial city before going back. After all, it was already late at night. It was definitely not suitable to visit Wang Can at night. They could only wait until dawn before visiting Wang Can.
