In history, Feng Ang entered Chang'an in the fifth year of Zhenguan, after the war to destroy the Turks, which was also the beginning of the glorious years when the Tang Dynasty began to dominate Asia.

There must have been a lot of things Feng An needed in the Tang Dynasty at that time.

But why is Feng An entering Chang'an at this time? He also recommends his eldest son to become an official in Chang'an.

No, it’s better to be a proton than an official.

With doubts, Li Kuan took several memorials that Wang Gui selected for him.

This time it writes about the sugar production base of some local officials, the analysis of the origin of raw materials, and the final impeachment.

If you impeach Feng Ang for not doing anything, if you impeach Feng Ang for his incompetence, then you should impeach the Lingnan barbarians for committing rebellion.

What it boils down to is one sentence: Feng Ang's Lingnan, as the origin of sugar cane, is now in short supply, which is damned.

When Li Kuan saw this, he suddenly realized.

"That is to say, there are a group of aristocratic families who don't want Feng Ang to earn money from sugar cane production."

The sugar Li Kuan gave was sucrose, and Lingnan is the main planting area.

Wang Gui put away the memorial sent back by Li Kuan and said with a smile: "Your understanding is not wrong."

Li Kuan frowned slightly. Aren't these aristocratic families afraid of provoking a war?

Feng Ang has soldiers in his hands.

Seeing what Li Kuan was thinking at a glance, Wang Gui picked up the tea cup on the table, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Feng Ang doesn't have the guts to fight."

The determined tone made Li Kuan confused.

Wang Gui called the people below to take away their meals, and asked for two cups of tea. He said slowly: "Feng Ang is too cautious, and he has never underestimated the cruelty of the family, let alone

I underestimate His Majesty’s cruelty.”

"So, he will not raise an army to resist, but will only choose to use methods within the rules. Entering Chang'an is his only way out."

Li Kuan's heart was filled with confusion. The more he heard about Feng An's entry into Chang'an, the more confused he became. Why were there so many things involved?

Isn't it just that the simple aristocratic families have taken a fancy to Feng An's business of selling sugar cane in Lingnan and are ready to grab the business? Why, as soon as you explain it, there is also Li Shimin's matter.

Wang Gui looked at Li Kuan's confused eyes, chuckled, and continued to explain: "Your Highness King Chu, it doesn't matter how Feng An is. It doesn't matter whether the family is greedy or not. It doesn't matter what His Majesty likes in Lingnan. The sugar business is not important either."

Not important."

"But when these things are put together it's important."

"For example, when Feng Ang entered Chang'an, he must have bowed his head, which meant that Chang'an could intervene in the situation in Lingnan. His Majesty completed the first major event after taking power, which was to regain Lingnan politically. In the process, the family occupied another area.

A share of the sugar business will make it stronger, and for Feng An, when he enters Chang'an, he will lose absolute control of Lingnan, but he will gain some rights in Chang'an."

"You see, this must be the direction of development of subsequent events."

Li Kuan was silent for a moment, then pretended to be indifferent and said: "Prince, what have you said so much, and what does it have to do with me?"

Wang Gui smiled, took a sip of tea, and said calmly: "This is the benefit of the position of Huangmen Shilang. With access to real-time information, you can analyze many changes in the Tang Dynasty."

"I'll give you Feng An's case as an example. I just want to tell you that this position is very important. It allows you to know a lot of information in advance and allows you to plan many things."

Li Kuan understood now, and he glanced at the dense memorials in the room with numbness.

This is all information.

It’s all different in different places.

Here, you can grasp the situation in various places and make a real layout.

Li Kuan finally understood what Wang Gui wanted to tell him.

The so-called Chang'an is a gaming field, which tells him to look at problems from a third party's perspective.

The superiority of Huangmen Shilang is to tell him how important you are.

Wang Gui, are you teaching him?

Li Kuan was shocked when he thought of this. Why?

Li Kuan hesitated for a moment, then asked directly: "Why did the prince teach me like this?"

Wang Gui always had a smile on his face. When faced with Li Kuan's inquiry, he replied straightforwardly: "There is something worthy of my investment in King Chu."

"Be more connected with you."

"I can also fulfill my responsibilities as a son of aristocratic family."

Li Kuan knew this because Li Gang had told him about it.

Hearing Wang Gui's answer, Li Kuan also breathed a sigh of relief. If the investment is good, I like investing. As for the return, it depends on me.

In the following days, Li Kuan continued to study with Wang Gui, and Li Shimin never looked for him.

The solution to the tax evasion problem that he and Li Xiaogong proposed was not approved by the court, and Li Shimin's power did not reach the level of Qian Gang's arbitrary power.

Regarding this situation, Wang Gui also explained it to Li Kuan.

"The solutions to the problem are all good, but it's a pity that His Majesty's rights are not enforced enough. There are too many people in the court who oppose it."

It was another afternoon, and Wang Gui and Li Kuan were chatting and preaching again.

Li Kuan smiled indifferently. Li Shimin didn't have enough rights. This was not a big deal. After all, rights need to be fought for and snatched.

Li Shimin can't kill all the aristocratic families. If he kills them all, who will help him govern the world?

Do you expect those people who passed the imperial examination?

To put it bluntly, in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, it was not until the imperial examination in the Song Dynasty that the foundation of the family began to be shaken. Before, including the Sui Dynasty, the imperial examination could only open up a hole, but it was impossible to shake the foundation of the family.

Because in the final analysis, the poor family is what the aristocratic family became after its decline, and they themselves are inextricably linked to the aristocratic family.

And when the people don't have enough to eat, they have no money to study, how can they shake the foundation of aristocratic families?

The imperial examination was held, which can only be said to have helped the promotion route of poor families, but from the fact that the examiners are all from aristocratic families, you can know that it is impossible for these children from poor families to fully support the imperial power.

Seeing Li Kuan's indifferent attitude, Wang Gui explained: "You don't have to care. Maybe you will become emperor one day, and maybe you will have to compete with the aristocratic family for rights."

These words startled Li Kuan, who quickly stood up and looked around, then glared at Wang Gui fiercely and complained: "My lord, if you talk like this, be careful to kill you and me."

Wang Gui saw him come to his senses and continued what he had just said: "Many of His Majesty's policies are good, but if he fails to complete the replacement of court personnel, he will not be able to carry out the decree happily."

Li Kuan had a bad feeling in his heart.

Wang Gui's next words confirmed Li Kuan's hunch.

"If nothing else happens, I will leave my position as the Huangmen Minister soon and go to work in the court."

"Wei Zheng will also leave the Secretary's Prison and go to work in Menxia Province."

"Your Majesty, we will eventually make a plan to attract a group of people and fight a group of people."

Li Kuan couldn't help but sigh. If Wang Gui left, he would be so tired here.
