Chapter 303: Crack down on one group and win over another group

"Grandfather, when we are in trouble, are the Bolingcui family also in trouble?"

Li Xiang saw that the atmosphere was almost heightened. Li Shimin had already made everyone very nervous, and if it was not resolved, there might be changes. The outside world was tense every second, in case the Boling Cui family took risks. , it is of no benefit to the court, so it is better to seize the time to solve it.

Li Xiang had just finished speaking, and everyone looked suddenly enlightened. This matter indeed posed a problem for the court, but if it is a problem, it should be more difficult for the Boling Cui family. They are in this matter. Because of the superiority, the court was free to deal with them or not, but the Boling Cui family was different.

No matter which dynasty or generation you are placed in, you will all be punished by death. Who told your family to betray the imperial court?

If the imperial court announces it to the world, the Boling Cui family will have no way out. Although they suffered relatively small losses in the two heavy blows in the previous period, the imperial court can already take advantage of your betrayal. You're nailed to the wall.

Before Li Shimin, the world was in chaos, and the common people had no sense of belonging. Today you are the king, and tomorrow he ascends the throne. There is nothing surprising to the common people. Anyone can ascend to that position, and it has no influence on the court at that time. After all, the sense of belonging has become too fast.

But since Li Shimin became the emperor, the Tang Dynasty began to take on a different look. It continued to win foreign wars, and the people's lives were also getting better. Although it cannot be said that they all became well-off, at least they were the same as before. Comparing it to the sky and the earth, everyone's sense of belonging to Datang is getting stronger and stronger.

In the past, major families could get along with each other, even flirting with foreigners, and ordinary people thought it was normal. After all, these major families had their own property, and it was normal to make friends with more people in power. But now The Tang Dynasty has been at peace for a long time, and if you still do such a thing, it is your fault.

"go on."

When Li Shimin heard what Li Xiang said, he naturally knew that Li Xiang's psychology must be correct. However, as before, Li Shimin still didn't know Li Xiang's specific plan and could only let him continue talking.

The other ministers also listened attentively. Wang De could see clearly from a high place. I don't know when it started. It seemed that all policies and policies were spoken by His Highness Taisun, even if His Highness Taisun did not implement them. , that is also done according to His Highness's wishes. This is the guidance for the court.

"The imperial court can completely eliminate them, but for the sake of the current balance, the imperial court can be lenient..."

Li Xiang said this to put gold on Li Shimin's face. To be honest, Li Shimin really didn't dare to destroy the Bolingcui family. On the surface, the strength of the Bolingcui family was only so little. We only need to send two thousand soldiers. Although his lair can be leveled, only the elders of the Cui family know how many chess pieces there are secretly. Once all are revealed, the entire Tang Dynasty may be shaken.

"How can I open up a wide margin? Will they not be held accountable? Then I won't lose my face?"

Li Shimin still didn't know what Li Xiang wanted to do, and the people around him nodded. They thought that there were only two results for this matter, either to bring peace to the Boling Cui family, or to pretend that this matter did not happen, but this Both results were unacceptable to the court.

"Of course we have to pursue them, but we have to make it clear to them that we are only pursuing a few key criminals, and the Bolingcui family is not monolithic. If we only pursue a few people, then there will definitely be people who want the positions vacated by these people. , we can make an agreement with them first, we will take the life of anyone who causes trouble in the imperial court. This can not only give an explanation to the people of the world, but also let the Cui family bleed. In front of those with vested interests, they do not want to Will rebel..."

The people present were all smart people. For the sake of Li Xiang's words, these people understood what was going on, that is, to win over one group and attack another group. Now the people in power in the Cui family must be killed, because they They are not of the same mind as the Tang Dynasty. The Cui family's children who are watching below have reached leadership positions with the help of the imperial court. In order to live a smooth life in the future, they can only rely on the imperial court.

Take the people of the Boling Cui family as an example. Some of them are inherent forces. They are now in all positions of power. The other part is the opposition party type. Although they are also descendants of the Cui family, they have no power in their hands. They hope that something will happen to the current people in power. Only if something happens to these people in power can they gain new rights.

What the court has to do now is to reach an agreement with this group of people and let them stand up and deal with those in power. As long as people from the Cui family are still in this position, then most of the forces in the Cui family will not rebel, but the new ones will This group of people is different from the group of people who were dealt with. The newly appointed people have already been marked by the imperial court. No matter what they do in the future, they will need to discuss it with the imperial court.

In the process of replacing old people with new people, the power of the Bolingcui family also began to decline significantly, at least by more than 30%. Through this incident, the imperial court once again attacked the powerful family, and at the same time, it also reduced its own power. He defeated the Boling Cui family and further disintegrated the five surnames and Qiwang.

Very wonderful!

Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling glanced at each other. They both saw admiration in each other's eyes. Neither of them thought of this method, but they needed time. If they were given a certain amount of time, they would definitely be able to think of it. come out.

"You are not timid. You just talk about it, but if you want to implement it, do you know how difficult it is?"

Li Shimin's tone has softened a lot, but he is still unwilling to praise Li Xiang. This matter is simple to say, but if it is to be implemented, it is no less than the expedition to Tuyuhun.

"My grandson is willing to carry out this matter."

Li Xiang said without hesitation, but Li Shimin did not arrange it for him because Li Shimin learned that he had already reconciled with the Cui family of Qinghe. If he was allowed to reconcile with the Cui family of Boling again, especially with the new head of the family, then Li Xiang would His power will be unprecedentedly huge. Even if he wants to do it, I am afraid that the major families will not be willing to do it. At that time, although the imperial court has disintegrated the major families, Li Xiang has become the head of the major families, which means that they have not collapsed. , but stronger...
