Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

"See Your Majesty!"

Li Er didn't say a word of nonsense, and asked Huai En to hand over Liu Bai's letter to them.

After several people read it, their expressions were different.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui bowed their heads in thought, without saying a word.

The reactions of Gao Shilian and Xiao Yu were the same as Li Er's just now, with the expressions on their faces.

Dai Zhou looked up at the dome, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Only Yu Shinan stroked his long beard, looked at Liu Bai's letter with a smile, and nodded slightly from time to time.

Li Er was full of curiosity.

He knows these people too well.

Especially Yu Shinan!

As the most profound Confucian among the 'Eighteen Scholars', Yu Shinan has an upright and upright personality.

Such a person values ​​reputation more than life.

When he saw Liu Bai exchange the word 'royal' for silver, why didn't he feel angry at all?

If it was normal, Yu Shinan would have jumped out and scolded Liu Bai angrily!

Li Er asked: "Yu Aiqing, what do you think?"

Yu Shinan cupped his hands, "The old minister thinks that this is a wise move, and Liu Bai shared the worries of His Majesty, so he deserves a big reward!"

Li Er was even more puzzled.

Did this guy take the wrong medicine today?

Xiao Yu's words solved the mystery for Li Er.

"Qizou Your Majesty, Master Yu was invited by Liu Bai to teach in the Royal Academy, and even the veterans and others do not have this blessing."

Xiao Yu's tone was eccentric, with an unhappy expression on his face.

Li Er was stunned.

No wonder Yu Shinan is so abnormal, it turns out that he and Liu Bai have been on the same front for a long time!

"You think that Liu Bai's move is feasible?"

Yu Shinan stood up again, and said in an 'awe-inspiring way': "The old minister thinks it's feasible!"

Dai Zhou, who had been silent all this time, was the second to stand up.

"My minister also thinks that this move is feasible!"

Gao Shilian and Xiao Yu also expressed their opinions one after another.

No matter what method is used to build the academy, it is not a big deal to the two of them.

Simply, I gave Liu Bai a favor.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui did not answer immediately.

As prime ministers, they have too many things to consider.

Seeing the two of them bowed their heads in thought, Li Er suddenly became interested.

He really wanted to see Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui's attitudes on this matter.

The original intention of building the academy was to deal with the aristocratic family. It would be a pleasant surprise if we could get the full support of the two prime ministers!

At the same time, he suddenly understood why Liu Bai wanted to lure Yu Shinan into the academy.

The power of the aristocratic family is all over the court, and even Li Er sometimes feels helpless. Only by making the academy a powerful force can he compete with the aristocratic family!

The core of this power cannot be Li Er.

At the time of the rebellion, Li Er had the support of the aristocratic family after all.

Although Liu Bai was the initiator of this project, he was still too young, with insufficient status and qualifications.

Fang Xuanling and others have high status and authority, but they are inextricably linked with many important officials in the court.

Only Yu Shinan!

His status is high enough, his qualifications are old enough, and he is devoted to learning, and he never likes to intervene in the power disputes in the court.

Since it was necessary to pick out a person who would fight with the aristocratic family, Yu Shinan was undoubtedly the best candidate!

Chapter 97: All you need is a gentle push from Liu Bai, and the five surnames and seven hopes will disappear completely

"Old minister, second!"

Just when Li Er thought that Fang Xuanling would not make a decision easily.

But he suddenly stepped forward, expressing his agreement with Liu Bai's approach, with a resounding voice!

Du Ruhui looked at Fang Xuanling next to him in surprise, as if meeting this old friend for nearly 30 years for the first time.

Unlike the "kowtowing prime ministers" of later generations, the power in the hands of the prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty can be said to be frighteningly large.

Don't look at Fang Xuanling's appearance as a good old man every day, but who can become a prime minister, who is a simple person?

It is also because of this that he has never clearly supported Liu Bai in public. It is no exaggeration to say that his will is enough to change the entire court!

But what happened today?

Li Er took a deep look at Fang Xuanling, and then turned his gaze to Du Ruhui.

"Where is Du Qing?"

Du Ruhui smiled wryly in his heart.

The left and the right are the same, if Fang Xuanling agrees, but he doesn't make a statement, sooner or later people will complain.

Maybe it will cause Liu Bai's dissatisfaction.

"The old minister agrees!"

Li Er nodded contentedly, and said: "Since all the nobles have agreed, then I will decree to allow those merchants to use the title of 'Royal Exclusive'!"

Walking from the Zichen Palace to the outside of the palace, Du Ruhui kept thinking about why Fang Xuanling was so uncharacteristic today.

Before boarding the carriage, he finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Brother Xuanling!"

Fang Xuanling saw Du Ruhui's thoughts, invited him, and boarded his carriage.

"Brother Keming, haven't you understood it yet?"

Fang Xuanling's first sentence made Du Ruhui slightly taken aback.

"See what?"

Fang Xuanling lifted the curtain of the car, looked in the direction of the palace, and said leisurely: "Your Majesty is in a hurry to build the academy because he can no longer tolerate the aristocratic family."

Du Ruhui nodded, he was also very clear about this.

The only thing he didn't understand was why Li Er allowed merchants to participate in it.

The status of merchants is low, no matter how rich they are, they have never appeared above the court.

For them, power is a luxury.

Throughout the ages, there is only Liu Bai as a special case.

"I'm only worried that once this hole is opened, the status of merchants will become higher and higher, which will harm the community!"

Fang Xuanling shook his head and said, "The only thing that can pierce a solid shield is a sharp spear!"

Du Ruhui pondered for a long time, and said, "A merchant, is that the spear that His Majesty uses to break through the aristocratic family?"

He gradually understood what Fang Xuanling meant.

No one knows how many officials in the DPRK and China are controlled by the aristocratic family.

It can be said that Li Er can't rely on anyone except a few big bosses!

Similarly, relying on only one academy may not be the opponent of the aristocratic family.

Therefore, Li Er took a fancy to another group.

Merchants!

The aristocratic family relies on merchants to earn money and provide protection for merchants.

But what Li Er can give is power!

"If Brother Keming is a merchant, will he choose power, or will he choose a verbal protection?"

Fang Xuanling asked meaningfully.

Du Ruhui met his gaze and suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

He knows too well what power means to merchants.

It can be foreseen that once Li Er allows merchants to do business in the name of the royal family, the merchants who originally worked for the aristocratic family will join Li Er without hesitation!

There are academies in learning, Fang Xuanling and others in power, and merchants in money. It won't take long for the foundation of the family to be wiped away!

Fang Xuanling chuckled, and said: "In the past, I always thought that His Majesty's favor and trust in Liu Bai came from Wen Yigong's kindness, but now it seems that it is far more than that simple."

Du Ruhui nodded approvingly.

Aristocratic families are tantamount to tarsal gangrene, even if you want to eradicate them, you have to pay a huge price.

But Liu Bai's appearance made Li Er discover that eradicating the aristocratic family is not only free of cost, but also has huge benefits.

Who wouldn't like such a helper?

Liu family mansion!

Years ago, I was busy with the construction of the academy, until now, it was finally almost ready.

Li Er's reply was very simple.

It's a big word 'quasi'.

With Li Er's guarantee, all plans can proceed smoothly.

As for the means to deal with the aristocratic family, Liu Bai didn't want to care too much.

Perhaps in Li Er's view, the aristocratic family is his number one enemy, more terrifying than the Turks.

But in front of Liu Bai, it was nothing.

He never regarded the aristocratic family as a serious problem for him.

As a person with thousands of years of vision far beyond others, he certainly knows the real reason for the annihilation of the family in later generations.

Knowledge, power, money!

If the three mountains are crushed down, not to mention the aristocratic family, even a dynasty will be crushed to death!

The only thing to do now is to wait!

When Li Er made up his mind and really started to use the sword against a certain aristocratic family, he only needed to push Liu Bai lightly, and the five surnames and seven wangs would disappear completely!

Every afternoon, Liu Bai would spare some time to practice calligraphy in the study.

Calligraphy pays attention to state of mind, and no one dares to disturb him at this time.

Under the courtyard wall opposite the study room, Cheng Chumo sat on a recliner, basking in the sun boredly. Beside him, a young man in Tsing Yi who was about the same age was strolling back and forth.

Cheng Chumo waved his hands irritably, and said, "Don't block me from the sun!"

The young man in Tsing Yi curled his lips, but still stepped aside.

After another long time, he finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Why hasn't he come out yet? I've been waiting for almost an hour!"

Cheng Chumo smiled, pointed to the study, and said, "If you have the guts, you can knock on the door and make an agreement in advance that it has nothing to do with us."

He is very clear about the consequences of disturbing Liu Bai's handwriting practice.

I don't know how much I suffered from the same loss.
