At the same time, this also shows that the conflict between His Majesty and the Jiangnan nobles should really exist, otherwise the children of the Jiangnan nobles should play a more important role in it.
Although he was away from home, Chen Zhishen still heard some rumors in the capital. His Majesty's implementation of the academy and examination system obviously directly violated the interests of the Jiangnan family. If it were not for the acquiescence of Gu Yewang and others, it would probably lead to disaster.
direct conflict.
As an out-and-out confidant of Li Xingchen, the Yuancong faction was second only to Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie, so it was impossible for Chen Zhishen to remain indifferent to these rumors.
The Yuancong faction, with Xiao, Pei, Chen Zhishen, and Cao Zhong as the core, was the earliest group of people to follow Li Xinchen, and they are now the pillars of the Han Dynasty. Naturally, they must always be ready to continue to go through fire and water for His Majesty.
After all, it is impossible to remove the label of Li Xinchen's right-hand man from them, and their lives have been tightly tied to Li Xinchen.
So whoever dares to go against Li Xinchen will naturally go against Chen Zhishen.
Chen Zhishen was originally Xiao Mohe's horseman, and he was an out-and-out Guizhou commoner. His step-by-step progress to this day was also due to the promotions of Xiao Mohe, Li Xingchen and others. Therefore, Chen Zhishen himself was very familiar with those so-called aristocratic families.
The rich people don't have any good impressions, but are very disgusted. Now that they have the courage to jump out and oppose Li Xinchen, Chen Zhishen will naturally not be polite to them.
Chen Zhishen's gaze became piercing, which naturally frightened many young people who had never seen many swords and blood shadows. They may not know that this was a gaze condensed from long-term fighting, but they could feel it.
Permeated with murderous intent.
Yang Su, Wu Ping and others also frowned slightly.
They don't want to become Chen Zhishen's enemies.
Now in the imperial court, it seems that the three factions of Jiangnan, Northern and Bashu are vying for power. But in fact, anyone who really sees the situation understands that the biggest force in the imperial court should actually be the Yuancong faction. They monopolize the army and the Bai Dynasty.
Pao, Yu Linqi and other formidable secret agents, and their loyalty to Li Xingchen is 100%. Although their number is small, it is their existence that maintains the balance of the court.
This is also the real capital that Li Xingchen has always been able to surpass any other aristocratic family.
In fact, from the beginning of Soochow, the Jiangnan aristocratic family began to appear on the stage of history. Although the leaders of this group have been rotated, their methods of controlling the court and even the emperor are all the same. Heroic figures, such as Sun Quan, the great emperor of Soochow
and Liu Yu, the founding emperor of the Liu Song Dynasty, may be able to find a way to check and balance to maintain their prestige and power. However, this kind of check and balance is ultimately a compromise between the royal family and the aristocratic family. After all, the emperor cannot exist independently of the aristocratic family.
.
But now Li Xingchen is different. He has an army at his hands, which is the power that allows him to conquer the world. At the same time, through the gradually spreading academies, he has begun to cultivate people who are loyal to himself and the Han, rather than to any one aristocratic family.
With talents, he will eventually be able to completely get rid of the influence of the aristocratic family on the imperial power, the aristocratic family will become a noble, and the emperor will become the real emperor after fully controlling the promotion and changes of talents.
Li Xingchen has reached this point, which is already an irreversible situation, just like the general trend of the world.
There are some people who have clearly seen this situation, so no matter what thoughts they have, they can only go down the river. Therefore, King Gu Ye and the others know that following Li Xingchen may really destroy things like the "Aristocratic Family"
Throw it on the waste paper pile, but they have no choice.
Naturally, there are some people who want to fight to the death even if they see this situation clearly, but Li Xingchen has made the most ready part of them become the bleeding heads in the hall, and the remaining part should not dare to do so now.
Act rashly again.
Be it Yang Su, Wu Ping or Tang Zhong, they all naturally strive to be the first type of people. As Li Xinchen's close confidant, Chen Zhishen is the one they must not offend.
Although Li Xingchen doesn't have many true left and right arms, he can hit one after another.
As for the veteran Jiang Yuanxun standing on the other side, he was not very interested in this. He can also be regarded as a veteran of the Southern Dynasties. When Chen Zhishen was still a groom, Jiang Yuanxun was in charge of the capital guard.
Although he has no actual combat experience, his qualifications are sufficient, and when Li Xingchen went to Jiankang Mansion to face the saint, he had a "secret communication" with Li Xingchen. He can be regarded as a person from Longzao, and he is not cold to Chen Zhishen. In fact,
For someone who has already reached his status, it is naturally better to take a step forward. Even if he does not make progress, it will be like that.
"As long as I love you, my peace in Guanzhong will be just around the corner." Li Xingchen was in a good mood, "Yang Qing family, let me tell you what your Taiwei Mansion plans to do next."
"Your Majesty, General Zhengdong," Yang Su cleverly added the title of Chen Zhishen after Li Xingchen's title, "from our perspective, the upcoming Battle of Guanzhong is not just a battle. It will be
There will be two very important stages, one is to finally capture Chang'an, and the other is to compete with Yu Wenxian for the vast area east of Chang'an and even all the way to Luoyang, and completely bring the Central Plains in the traditional sense under our control."
"But once a war breaks out with Yu Wenxian, will it mean a full-scale war?" Li Xingchen asked immediately.
The current Han Dynasty does not have the capital to start a full-scale war. The whole country has been difficult to recover due to the continuous battles. If the entire vast area from the Huaihe River to the northwest is involved in the war, I am afraid that Li Xingchen will be killed.
Wear the hat of "militancy".
You must know that in history, after Yang Jian unified the north, he rested for a few years before starting to go south. Although the Sui Dynasty and even the Northern Zhou Dynasty had the strength to destroy Nanchen, Yang Jian obviously wanted to make this war of annihilation smoother.
, accomplished in one go, and at the same time, it also gave the war-torn north a few years of opportunity to adjust.
In this era, since the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Northern Qi Dynasty, the war has not stopped for a day, and it is time to take a rest.
"Everyone in the Taiwei Mansion does not think that Yu Wenxian will start a full-scale war with us, because the situation in Hebei and Shandong should not be much better than ours, especially these places once belonged to the Northern Qi Dynasty. For Yu Wenxian to destroy such
The countrymen themselves are resistant, and Yu Wenxian has not had enough time to win over the people for a long time. Instead, he has been constantly recruiting troops. For him, he should find ways to avoid an all-out war with us in order to rest and recuperate," Yang
