Chapter 675 Children from a poor family

Li Xiang originally thought that it was involved in a dispute between famous families, and there might be something going on between various families. After the decline of the Five Surnames and Qi Wang, Li Xiang no longer took these famous families seriously, so he didn't take it seriously.

But I didn’t expect that what Mr. Zhao proposed was another sharp contradiction, that is, the competition between the children of rich families and the children of poor families. This is not only a sharp contradiction in this era, but even in the 21st century, such a contradiction is Yes, such contradictions exist in all countries.

There are only so many positions in society. The wealthy families themselves stand on top of everyone. They also want to get a better position for their children, so they are bound to suppress the children from poor families, but the number of children from poor families is very large. , in this case, they will also work hard for their future, and the collision between the two parties is inevitable.

"In the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an City may be evenly divided. The number of famous disciples is not very outstanding. However, your highness can go and investigate the local yamen. The officials in various places have their origins. If you are If you don’t have a background, you won’t be able to be an official at all.”

When Mr. Zhao said this, even he was very surprised. You must know that he is not usually such a person. Even if he thinks so in his heart, he can't say it with his mouth. Maybe he was drunk today because of alcohol. The reason is that Mr. Zhao talks a bit too much.

But when Mr. Zhao said these words, he was already prepared for everything. It turned out that these words had been pressed in his chest for a long time. Although he came from a famous family, he had already seen that if the imperial court continued If this development continues, it will be extremely detrimental to all the people and will be of no benefit to the entire country. Li Xiang is an enlightened person. If Li Xiang can solve this problem, he may be able to extend the life of the Tang Dynasty for another five hundred years.

"I haven't paid attention to what Mr. Zhao said before, but it is indeed a sharp contradiction. Famous families have existed for too long, and their tentacles have penetrated into all aspects of society. I once talked to Wu Xing Qi Wang People have faced and fought them head-on, and although they have all been defeated, after listening to some of Master Zhao’s words today, I think the five surnames and seven looks are not the most important, but rather the small and medium-sized families in various places are the most terrifying."

Since Mr. Zhao took the initiative to say these words, he was also opposed to these famous families controlling the government. Li Xiang also said what he felt in his heart. Mr. Zhao nodded beside him. Li Xiang could see this, which was already better than Many imperial elites have to look further.

In the eyes of many court elites, the Five Surnames and Qiwang are the famous families who control the government. As long as the Five Surnames and Qiwang are resolved, the power of the court will naturally return to the hands of the emperor. In fact, this is a very one-sided approach. idea.

It turns out that Li Xiang had the same idea when he was just reborn, but after a long period of observation, Li Xiang realized that this was different. What the Five Surnames and Qi Wang had achieved for a long time was a guiding role. Their personal They are indeed powerful, but if they want to compete with the imperial court, they actually make use of small and medium-sized families in various places.

None of the small and medium-sized families in various places can compete with the imperial court individually, but when they get together and twist into a rope, they are a very powerful force. Even if the imperial court wants to touch them, there is no way. Such confidence, unless you want to see nationwide turmoil.

Therefore, the court must also follow the rules. These small and medium-sized families are mixed together, and they have reached an inexplicable tacit understanding with the court. If we make a mistake, you can touch us, but if we don’t make a mistake and you look for trouble, Landlords and powerful people everywhere are no joke.

Li Xiang suddenly thought of the Huangchao Uprising that affected the entire Tang Dynasty.

It is clearly recorded in the history books that this guy originally wanted to obtain the imperial examination. If he could obtain the imperial examination, he would be able to successfully enter the Tang Dynasty's court, and naturally there would be no turmoil that spread throughout the country. This This guy's turmoil drained the last strength of the Tang Dynasty. After his uprising ended, the entire Tang Dynasty entered a situation of overthrowing towns and separatist regimes.

Why did he embark on the path of rebellion at that time? It was because he had trouble getting the honors, or his place was taken up by those wealthy children, so this guy couldn't see any hope, so he raised the banner of resistance.

When he thought of this, Li Xiang was covered in sweat. If things continue like this, there are likely to be several such characters. It seems that this matter is no longer a trivial matter. While resolving external battles, Li Xiang Xiang also has to give these poor children a glimmer of hope.

As a ruler of a country, if you are unable to balance all the forces within your country, then you don’t need to wait for outsiders to come in. The internal turmoil alone will already be too much for you to deal with. At that time, you only need one With a simple plan, the contradictions in the entire society have been ignited. These contradictions have accumulated for so many years. It is also very difficult to extinguish them in a short time.

When he thought of this, Li Xiang stood up and bowed to Mr. Zhao. You must know that Mr. Zhao is a member of a famous noble family. If he can say these words, he has actually betrayed his family. The great responsibilities of the world are his own responsibility. Such people are indeed the heroes of the Tang Dynasty.

"I can't stand His Highness's gift. I can't stand His Highness's gift. In fact, I have been hesitating for a long time. Ordinarily I should have brought up such a matter long ago, but I thought of the people behind me..."

Mr. Zhao quickly knelt down in front of Li Xiang. How could he accept such a great gift from Li Xiang? Li Xiang is the grandson of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and this is a fatal matter.

"Compared to other people who have been able to take this step, it is actually very difficult. I took the wrong path in this matter in the early years. I didn't think about it so clearly. In fact, the five surnames and seven hopes are all placed on the On the surface, the harm they do to the country can be seen, but the small and medium-sized families everywhere cannot see it."

Li Xiang also shook his head. There was indeed a problem with his previous strategy. Although he had defeated the arrogance of Wu Xing Qi Wang, to be honest, this step was considered a success, but it was not that successful. Now it is This has made small and medium-sized families everywhere vigilant about the future...
