Chapter 26: Peach Path (3)

.Li Wei laughed.

The old man from the Zheng family seemed to be talking to him more and more, but it was exactly what he wanted.

How many things do you have, the disputes between the regime in the Korean Republic, the Turks, the construction of water conservancy, Japan and Silla, are four major things that must be done at the moment. There are also the manager of Wu Chengsi, how to cooperate with his mother, and the Zheng family.

This industry may be very important, but for me, it is definitely a small matter, but for the Zheng family, it is the top priority. If you talk to this wise old man in front of you, you will not be able to tell the reason for it for three days, so it is better to really take it.

After laughing, he said, "Weng Zheng, do you really do that?"

Zheng's father was speechless. The most important thing about aristocratic families is reputation. The Zheng family has not been involved in court affairs for decades and has only focused on the development of the family itself. It is wrong to devote themselves to the court struggle. If they turn to the back party, the elders in the family will not agree.

Li Wei said again: "If I talk to you today, it will be beneficial to your family. I have never expected you to support me. Even if you support me, how many important officials are there in the Zheng family in the court, and how many generals are there in the army?"

This is not entirely true. If the Zheng family supports it, there will be some influence, but because the Zheng family is far away from the court, the influence cannot be too optimistic.

Zheng's father was speechless again.

He continued: "The reason why I came here was the words just now is for everyone to win-win. The court will not allow you to be like your powerful forces, wandering outside the court and not being controlled by the court. Unless this country's officials have lost control of the local power. But as your big families, if they do not exist, where will the hair be attached? As you said, your family's population has been expanding over the years. Why? It is the country's stability and development. Enjoying the glory of the country, but not fulfilling its obligations. Is there such a good thing in the world?"

He stood up and said, "This is my first time in Xingyang. I will visit Xingyang tomorrow and leave the day after tomorrow. Please think twice."

This is a euphemism. If there is a result, it will be only one day tomorrow. If I don’t give a reply tomorrow night, I will leave. It is impossible to find me again in the future.

Then say goodbye.

The Zheng family's mansion was very big, and Li Wei's trip was settled in the back garden of the Zheng family.

The night of August is not cold, and it is a little cool. There are many tall trees in the garden and some flowers flowing by a stream. Several women talk in the garden pavilion. They all had curious thoughts about the Zheng family. However, after arriving, they were all a little disappointed.

Li Lingyue kicked her little feet unconvincedly: "That's all, why can they despise our royal family? Brother, can you tell me the reason when you are back?"

"Little sister, this is not the case. These families have rigorous family traditions. I just visited his house, and the collections in them are no less than those of Chongwenguan. The rigorous family tradition has greatly influenced them among the people. This family tradition, resources, collections, and many disciples have caused many talents to emerge from these families from generation to generation. Take a look at the Hongwenguan, how many great scholars from these aristocratic families have been invited by the Chongwenguan and the Imperial College as bachelors, and they are teaching their lives..." Speaking of this, he remembered another thing. Imperial Examination!

The imperial examination system in the early Tang Dynasty was inherited from the Sui Dynasty, and there were many places where it was imperfect.

The biggest disadvantage is that the two supervisors are the main talents. The two supervisors are the main ones, but there are very few local talents. However, the two supervisors often recruit children of famous families and descendants of meritorious families who are good at the court, especially the Guanlong nobles. This imperial examination system undoubtedly restricts the development of these top aristocrats in Shandong.

In addition, these top families have their own advantages and have enjoyed the glory brought to their families by the Nine-rank Zhongzheng system for hundreds of years. However, the Tang Dynasty used the family system and the imperial examination system to employ people, and these families themselves did not want to participate in the imperial examination with ordinary people.

If I spread the imperial examinations across the country and these big families put down their bodies, what would it be like? It would undoubtedly be a wake-up lion.

Thinking of this, he murmured: "It should be popular."

“What is popular?”

"It's nothing", Li Wei did not answer. The appearance of movable type and bamboo paper reduces the cost of reading for the people, which is an opportunity for popularization. Before these aristocratic families rise, many people across the country can read it. This is a policy that benefits the people. However, the system of the court made Li Wei feel a headache, and the people were not allowed to set up school museums without permission, and only state schools were allowed. This policy has become a natural barrier for the common people.

Did you ask your mother after you go back?

The scandal at Wu Chengsi Manor turned out to be planned to transfer Wei Yuanzhong and several others back to Beijing, but if it is proposed to popularize the school, it must be supported by his mother.

Wei Yuanzhong missed the great opportunity to return to Beijing.

Frowning and thinking, Wan'er didn't know, she asked, "Your Majesty, how are you talking to the Zheng family?"

"Everyone showed their trump card. How to decide until tomorrow night." But he said politely: "Wan'er, you and my son were able to enter the Yeting Palace because they were attracted by the glory of the Zheng family, but you are nothing in the mind of the Zheng family. They are considering the long-term interests of the family. Not to mention that you are the grandson, even the close disciples in the family will not consider your safety, honor and disgrace."

"Yes, I will always stand on Your Majesty's side."

"Come on, I will recite a poem for you..." Looking at the moon in the sky, the swaying figures of flowers and trees around, listening to the insects singing, talking to the ancestor of the Zheng family tonight, he has been occupying the wind. Li Wei was in a good mood and said.

"Okay, okay." The women all jumped up happily.

"Do you want me to come with a pen and ink?" Bier said.

"It's up to you." He came over with the pen and ink, not chanting, but writing. After a while, he took the pen and ink, and heard that His Majesty was going to write a poem, and even the nearby Zheng family members came over to watch it curiously. Li Wei didn't care and picked up the pen and wrote: I'm sorry, where to go to the evening...

"This poem is so singular and unrestrained that you can't write unless you have any Majesty." Seeing the last sentence written, how could it be like a hook? A disciple of the Zheng family suddenly said.

Li Wei smiled and refused to answer.

It was not his credit, although he knew that because of his appearance, history had undergone tremendous changes, and the famous poems and lyrics that appeared in later generations would not appear in this world, but he would not claim to be his contribution. In fact, the works that have been sung over the years are mostly their own real works. Of course, they are sometimes good and sometimes bad, but there are many things and no one cares about them.

I was just happy today and plagiarized this song by the way.

Wan'er also said: "It's like "The Question of Heaven."

Li Wei was in a good mood and whispered: "Do you want to know the reason?"

"think"

"Get the paint again."

I brought the paint and drew a few pictures, which were the orbital diagrams of the sun, the earth and the moon. As soon as I came out, I immediately explained most of the questions in the original words. However, after I finished painting, I was afraid that it would cause criticism, so I immediately used the tongue of fire and burned it.

"Your Majesty, is the earth round?" Wan'er and everyone asked in surprise.

"I didn't say anything." Li Wei did not answer, but attached it to Wan'er's ear and whispered: "You have seen my big map of the world, and I tell you that after passing that American continent, it is the Frank Kingdom... it is."

Wan'er covered her little mouth.

A very smart little man can reach the Frank Kingdom from the west. It has been proved that he can also reach the Frank Kingdom from the east. So isn't it round... or square?

Li Lingyue wanted to ask more answers, but Li Wei refused to answer any questions.

After making a fuss for a while, he said, "Sleep, sleep."

But the Zheng family is sleepless tonight.

After Li Wei left, several elders of the Zheng family and important children gathered together. Zheng's father told the story.

"How could the emperor be so tough?" a child said unconvincedly. This was too arrogant.

"No, you are a little restless, you don't understand what he meant. Emperor Gaozu recruited us, but why did he recruited us? At that time, the world was not pacified. When it came to Taizong and Taihuang, the world was pacified. Our major families were like a thorn in their throats, so they were suppressing us. Today, this new emperor has a rough understanding of civil and military skills. It is impossible for him to compromise his attitude towards our major families."

"So what?" A disciple said unconvinced again: "Don't forget, he has not yet firmly taken the position of emperor."

"Shiqilang, you are wrong. It's not that the emperor doesn't want the Xuanwu Gate change..." Zheng Lianshu said: "I have witnessed the emperor's talents and strategies together along the way."

The implication is that the Empress Dowager decided to fight against the emperor. As for Li Zhi, the Zheng family wisely excluded him.

Zheng's father slapped the table and calmed everyone down and said, "You haven't heard that the emperor must be tough towards our families. However, he repeatedly reminded that as long as he assisted the court and was under the jurisdiction of the court, he would not be hostile. On the contrary, it seemed that he would be looking for a win-win measure with us. This is different from Taizong and Gaozong."

Li Shimin and Li Zhi couldn't eat grapes, so they called sour. The attitudes, including Li Shimin, were extremely unhealthy. Therefore, these families were connected with each other and had no faults and dared not use forced measures to suppress them, so they had to work with the Bujun Lian in the "Clan Chronicle". This is completely different from Li Wei's nature. Although Li Wei's attitude seems to be tougher than Li Shimin and Li Zhi, it is clear that you are dependent on the court and under the jurisdiction of the court. I will find benefits for your family, but as the people of the Tang Dynasty, you enjoy the glory brought by the Tang Dynasty, but do not think about the country. Although there is no fault, I can use other means to suppress and weaken you in disguise.

And found some useful solutions.

I said clearly again that I don’t need your support for me. Talking with you for a win-win situation is for your own good and for the country.

The righteousness is in your hands.

Therefore, the trump card in his hand was tough, which made Zheng’s father speechless many times.

Both sides showed their trump cards, Li Wei's cards were strong and Zheng's cards were soft. Even if the Zheng family wanted to join forces, the emperor's attitude was ambiguous. Everyone in the Zheng family couldn't help but fall into deep thought in the hall.

Suddenly, Zheng Qing, a junior from the Zheng family, ran in and praised the arrogant and unrestrained disciple of the Zheng family who "written" by Li Wei. He said: "Grandfather, all the grandfathers, grandson just saw His Majesty write a poem in the garden."

I have a good memory and read it out.

Dozens of elders of the Zheng family were indifferent. The new emperor wrote a good poem and became famous very early. I wrote a good poem, so I was wondering what could I do about it?

But Zheng Qing’s focus was not this, and he said: “He said the earth is round.”

I have a good memory, but I actually re-drawn the paintings that Li Wei painted just now. Originally, these major families have a long history and are also from the family. Since ancient times, they have been saying that the sky is round. Therefore, Li Wei's statement made Zheng Qing feel distorted. But after thinking about it carefully, he felt it made sense, so he hurriedly reported.

"How is that possible?" several old men with gray hair said in unison.

This is not the place or the earth is round or the earth is round. Although it is not as good as the medieval European religion, for the current Tang Dynasty, once this statement is spread, the controversy will not arise.
