Chapter 157: Ma Zhou's Ambition


Ma Zhou's words, the amount of hidden information is too great.

Li Shimin is going to take a concubine It's only ten years of Zhenguan, and Li Shimin hasn't reached the time of extravagance.

Looking at Ma Zhou's face, Li Mu's heart moved, and he asked in a low voice, "Isn't it done?"

"Ling Zheng is smart."

Ma Zhou slapped his ass inappropriately, "I never thought that Zheng Renji would refuse." ” I'll go, Li Mu was shocked, this Zheng Renji is too good, even the emperor's edict dares to resist.

"Why is Zheng Renji?"

asked Li Mu.

Ma Zhou's voice was lowered, "It is said that Zheng Renji dislikes the emperor for having Xianbei blood. ” Li Mu was dumbfounded, this is Chiguoguo's discrimination.

If you want to be yourself, you don't take a kitchen knife and smash it "What did the emperor do with it?"

"At that time, the edict had been issued, but the canonized messenger had not yet set out.

Although the emperor was angry, he did not issue an edict to punish.

But I don't want to, after Zheng Renji rejected His Majesty, he married his daughter to Cui Le, a school secretary under him, that night. ” Li Mu was dumbfounded when he heard this, how much Zheng Renji hates Li Shimin, just refuse to marry, and marry a daughter on the same day, this is a red fruit to slap the emperor's face.

"This Zheng Renji is too arrogant," Li Mu said, "Isn't this self-defeating?"

Unexpectedly, Ma Zhou said leisurely: "It seems that Ling Zheng really doesn't know Zheng Renji's origin." ” "What's the matter?"

Li Mu wondered.

"Zheng Renji was born in the Zheng family in Xingyang."

Li Mu suddenly realized, I'll go, we have seen the power of the five surnames and seven wangs today, and even the emperor's edict dares to openly disobey.

"Then how did the emperor deal with it" Li Mu has a bit of a gossip taste, no wonder, who doesn't like to inquire about gossip news.

Ma Zhou said: "No, aren't these two decrees promulgated in the court today?"

Li Mu frowned and thought for a while, "That's not right, what does it have to do with Zheng Renji to increase the power of the traffic superintendent and let the gods guard the straightway?"

"It doesn't seem to matter, but it's actually very important."

Ma Zhou looked mysterious and sold Guanzi.

"Someone, send off."

"Ahem, I'll just say that."

"Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, although the emperor and the emperor have deliberately suppressed and promoted some officials from poor families with special advancement, the five surnames and seven names above the court have been extinct, but the family still has the yamen of various states and counties.

The emperor has the heart to rectify, but the family has a deep foundation, and many officials in the court have an inextricable relationship with it.

The resistance can be imagined. ” Li Mu nodded, it seems that Li Shimin is really determined to make a move to the family, this rejection of marriage is probably just an excuse, at most it is just an inducement.

"The two decrees of the emperor this time seem to be unrelated, but they are actually a game of chess.

The straight road leads to the counties of the Tang Dynasty, which can make the emperor's eyes and ears all over the world; Expanding the administrative and judicial authority of the traffic superintendent can enable the emperor to effectively control all prefectures and counties; And let the Divine Guards enter the battle, then it can make His Majesty like an arm, which can not only deter the family family, but also suppress the family family with the power of thunder when it is unavoidable. ” Ma Zhou's words made Li Mu's heart tremble, isn't this the incarnation of a living Jinyiwei From Ma Zhou's words, Li Mu clearly felt Li Shimin's confidence to not hesitate to shed blood. can be punished without teaching, and even without an excuse, just remove all the people who stand in front of you, is this really okay?

Straight, traffic supervisor, god guard, is that still their original intention?

"King Bin, have you ever thought that the reason why the family has a deep foundation is that it has accumulated over hundreds of years.

If you do this, maybe a hundred years from now, you will be saddled with the notoriety of being a traitor or even an anti-minister. ” Li Mu's words made Ma Zhou's face pale, and he naturally understood what Li Mu meant, no matter whether this matter succeeded or failed, he would die without a place to be buried.

If it succeeds, the future emperors will definitely push themselves out to calm the anger of the people in order to avoid the backlash of the family, just like the Warring States Shang Ying, who is a traitor.

If he fails, the emperor will most likely throw himself out in order to get rid of suspicion, so that he will become an anti-minister who everyone shouts and beats.

"I naturally know that the emperor let Ling Zheng enter the Guozijian, thinking that he wants you to get out of the matter."

Ma Zhou smiled bitterly.

"Then you know that this matter is dangerous, why bother" "The big family is a disaster to the world, and they often hold thousands of hectares or even hundreds of thousands of hectares of land, and they are slaves, which family does not have tens of thousands of people, which is ridiculous that the Tang Dynasty has been established for more than 20 years, and the number of registered people on the Yellow Book of the Ministry of the People's Republic is less than 3 million, which is not as good as the former Sui 11.

What's even more hateful is that the family relies on power and is connected with each other, since the former Sui Dynasty, the imperial examination system is in vain, the family controls the way to enter the office, and the children of the poor family study hard for many years, but there is no way to be promoted, and then affect the court, and even dare to resist the court decision-making.

Ling Zheng thinks that the family should not be eliminated," Ma Zhou asked in a fierce voice.

Li Mu was silent, Li Shimin just started to support the Guanlong Group against the clan, but the effect was very little, although the clan was expelled from the court, but the foundation of the clan was not damaged.

Hundreds of years of accumulation, the power is intertwined, who can know that above the court, there is no shadow of the family behind the important ministers In fact, this problem is not unique to the Tang Dynasty, even if it is not the case in later generations, it is only a matter of depth.

But even so, it can be done a little better, a little, isn't it?

Fairness is never absolute, and relative fairness is better than no fairness at all.

"Zhou is full of enthusiasm, determined to be a famous minister, leave a name in history, and report to the king to the people, even if a hundred years later, rumors will defile me, and I will not be ashamed."

Ma Zhou's sonorous words really vibrated in Mu's heart, a person has a person's way of living, and some people like to live in the world, just like themselves; Some people are born to make waves, and they won't live in peace if they don't turn the world upside down, just like Ma Zhou.

"Zhou has the honor to read Ling Zheng's two recitals at His Majesty's place, and he is shocked, Zhou Xiang is self-defeating and talented, but he is ashamed that he is not as good as Ling Zhengliang."

When Ma Zhou said this, his eyes stared at Li Mudao, "Zhou also had the inspiration from the two ways of Lingzheng, and he made this policy with His Majesty. ” Li Mu sighed: "I agree with what the emperor said to you, the family should indeed be suppressed, but why use such urgent means?

” "Is there a better way to do it?"

"You also said just now, the family controls the way to enter the imperial examination, so why not improve the laws and regulations of the imperial examination, and create opportunities for the children of the poor family to enter the official as much as possible?
