If there is no bloody means, whether Li Shimin can dispose of the family or not, Fang Xuanling is really not optimistic.
Fang Xuanling has a deep understanding of the family's ability, once upon a time, wasn't he also an ambition and wanted to cure the family's stubborn disease Now that he is old, he has unconsciously become a member of the family.
I don't know why I set off, Fang Xuanling smiled bitterly in his heart.
Li Shimin turned to Ma Zhou and asked in a deep voice: "Ma Zhou, what do you think?"
Ma Zhou seemed to be waiting for Li Shimin to ask, and he arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the family despises the king and confronts the imperial court.
The minister thought that the disaster of the family was very beneficial to the Tang Dynasty, so it was better to take this opportunity to rectify the wealthy family and decide in a battle.
The minister asked His Majesty for his life and was willing to be the vanguard. ” Fang Xuanling was shocked when he heard this, and said, "Ma Zhou, you don't want to confuse the lord with evil words." ” Turning to Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling advised: "Your Majesty, the minister is not against Your Majesty's rectification of the wealthy family, but this is really not the time to rectify the family.
Please think twice. ” Li Shimin asked faintly: "According to Xuan Ling's opinion, when is the right time?"
Fang Xuanling felt sad in his heart and replied: "I don't know. ” Li Shimin asked sharply: "Three years, five years, or ten years, or wait until after the funeral?"
Poor Fang Xuanling's old waist, when he heard the words, he knelt down again, "The minister is guilty." ” Li Shimin still relied on Fang Xuanling, and when he saw this, he put away his snarky tone, personally stepped forward to help Fang Xuanling, and comforted: "I know that Xuanling is out of social considerations, but what Ma Zhou said is reasonable, the disaster of the family will harm the Tang Dynasty a lot, and the longer it drags on, the more harmful it will be."
I don't take advantage of the prime of life to rectify it, I have to wait until I am old to rectify it, or leave this stubbornness to the prince."
When Fang Xuanling heard this, he knew that Li Shimin's mind had been decided, and turmoil in the world was inevitable.
He said with tears in his eyes: "Since Your Majesty has decided, then please ask Your Majesty to beg for bones, and the ministers don't want to see the Tang Dynasty fall apart again." ” Fang Xuanling's words angered Li Shimin, and he roared: "Xuanling wants to abandon me again, when Xuanwu Gate was back then, you and Keming had already abandoned me once, if it weren't for me putting the knife on your and Keming's necks." ” Fang Xuanling's eyes widened in fright by Li Shimin's words, he knelt down two steps, stepped forward to hug Li Shimin's feet, and cried: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is angry, don't talk any more." ” When Li Shimin heard Fang Xuanling's cry, his heart was shocked, and when he came back to his senses, he realized that he had lost his words in anger.
When Li Shimin's cruel eyes swept past Han Zhongliang and Ma Zhou's faces.
Han Zhongliang and Ma Zhou "pounced", knelt on the ground, and then lay on the ground, trembling.
Knowing what you shouldn't know, or knowing what you already know but pretending not to know, is a disaster for your courtiers.
A touch of fierceness flashed in Li Shimin's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.
He said lightly: "Under my anger, I am talking nonsense, and the two Aiqing must not be taken seriously. ” Han Zhongliang and Ma Zhouru were granted amnesty, and hurriedly kowtowed: "The minister didn't hear anything. ” "That's fine."
Li Shimin smiled, "Get up, I will rely on the two of you in the future." ” "The ministers will never give up."
Li Shimin turned to Fang Xuanling, helped him up, and said with relief: "Xuanling, you and I have been together for nearly 20 years, I want to achieve a good story, I hope Xuanling will not abandon me." ” Fang Xuanling also calmed down at this time, and responded: "The minister is guilty, and the minister will die." ” Li Shimin led Fang Xuanling to the brocade stool and sat down, and said: "Xuanling rest assured, I am not confused to the point of making the world fall apart, but if the five surnames are not punished, the reform of the imperial examination will not be implemented, and at the same time, the plan presented by Li Mu will not be implemented. ” When Fang Xuanling heard this, he could only arch his hand and say: "The minister should be broken to pieces to repay His Majesty's kindness." ” Li Shimin sighed at this time, turned to Ma Zhou and said: "Since you are willing to be a pioneer, I want to hear what you want to do."
Ma Zhou replied: "Today's matter is already clear, the person who applies for the shares must be sent by the five surnames, and the share certificate must be in the hands of various families at this time."
Before the fundraising, the minister, in the name of the province, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the traffic superintendent, announced the fundraising rules, and issued a notice to the yamen of each prefecture and county.
What the families did today, although they did not violate the laws of the Tang Dynasty, but the violation was already ironclad, and the minister thought that if he sent troops to search the families, he would be able to find out the share certificates, so that he could be convicted. ” Li Shimin thought so, and he nodded slightly.
Fang Xuanling was terrified when he heard this, not because of how crazy Ma Zhou's move was, but because he was worried about the reaction of various families.
What the families are doing today is obviously a response to Li Shimin's original marriage ban, and that's all, otherwise they would not have chosen this way at this moment.
To put it bluntly, it is only angry, not rebellious.
But if you act according to Ma Zhou's method, then you can't guarantee how the families will respond, if one of the two sides does not restrain itself, it will cause a catastrophe.
Fang Xuanling was anxious in his heart, but he understood that if he opened his mouth to dissuade him at this time, it would backfire, and he would make Li Shimin suspicious, not to mention, if he angered Li Shimin, I am afraid that more extreme actions may occur.
At the moment, he is lonely, and he can't dissuade Li Shimin at all.
At this time, Han Zhongliang, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, suddenly said: "Your Majesty has a word, I don't know whether to say it or not." ” "If you don't talk about it, Han Aiqing still doesn't need to say more."
Han Zhongliang was stunned by Li Shimin's words, so he could only shut up.
Fang Xuanling looked at Han Zhongliang's expression of wanting to speak and stopped, and admonished: "Your Majesty, listen to what Han Xiang says, what's the matter?"
Fang Xuanling's face, Li Shimin really didn't want to give it, so he snorted: "I didn't say that Han Aiqing couldn't say anything." ” Only then did Han Zhongliang step forward and play carefully: "Your Majesty, whether it is the traffic supervisor, the straight road, or the current fundraising, it is inseparable from Li Mu, please ask Your Majesty to summon Li Mu and listen to his response to this matter." ” Li Shimin was obviously sluggish when he heard this, "This Li Mu will enter the national prison soon, and this matter is not something he has to do, I think it is better to act according to Ma Zhou's performance." ” Fang Xuanling's heart moved when he heard this, and he stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Han Xiang said is very true, but it is just a advice, so why not listen to it?"
Li Shimin was about to refuse, but he didn't want to, Ma Zhou said: "The minister thinks that what the Zhongshu Order says is very true. ” The three people in front of him all had the same meaning, and now Li Shimin was embarrassed.
He thought about it, and finally agreed.
"Come on, pass on Li Mu."
"Wait."
Fang Xuanling stopped.
"What does Xuan Ling mean?"
"Let's go and pass on Your Majesty's message
