Volume 1: First Entering the Tang Dynasty Chapter 71 It makes sense
Lu Chen touched his nose in embarrassment, "Does that person's thinking jump so fast?" Lu Chen had chatted with many women during previous missions, but none of them could compare with Li Xiuning. Is this the gap between the times?
?
"Um...I think that marriage still depends on fate, and it is best if the two people are in love! Your Highness, this stubborn melon is not sweet!" Lu Chen said to Li Xiuning helplessly,
"Your Highness, I think your marriage can be put aside for now, and it's better to talk about business first!"
"Forget it!" Seeing that he couldn't persuade Lu Chen, Li Xiuning temporarily gave up the persuasion. However, regarding this matter, Li Xiuning was still prepared to talk to his aunt Li Yuan. As long as he pulled Lu Chen onto the Li family's warship,
Then as long as Lu Chen is around, there will be no problems in the Li family.
"Mr. Lu, who do you think has the best chance of taking that position in the end?" Li Xiuning looked directly at Lu Chen and asked with a serious expression.
"Shouldn't I say this?" Lu Chen saw that he got to the point. Lu Chen did not answer Li Xiuning's question but asked Li Xiuning a question in return.
"Huh? What do you mean by this, sir?" Li Xiuning was amused by Lu Chen's rhetorical question, and then continued to question Lu Chen.
"Who can sit in that position, shouldn't you ask His Highness himself? The current situation is that whoever His Highness supports can sit in that position!" Lu Chen played with the folding fan in his hand and said calmly, as if it was no longer the case.
After discussing the issue of Lu Chen's wife, Lu Chen suddenly remembered a question. The Xuanwumen incident in four years will be because of a change that will occur in Li Xiuning.
The original change of Xuanwu Sect was because Li Xiuning was no longer around, and no one could suppress those three people. Li Xiuning's women's army was also divided up, so there was no one left who could check and balance those two people, not to mention Li Yuan.
Li Yuan has been said to be "troublesome" because he is the emperor, but the actual power has been concentrated in the hands of Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin.
At that time, the power in the hands of the two men was at two extremes. Li Jiancheng controlled most of the civil servants and aristocratic families as well as part of the army in Chang'an, while Li Shimin controlled most of the military power. As for the civil servants and aristocratic families,
Not much. As for Li Yuanji, he has always had a good relationship with Li Jiancheng and has always supported the prince. At the same time, Li Yuanji also has connections with the aristocratic family, but Li Shimin has not a deep connection with the aristocratic family.
Without Li Xiuning's check and balance in the middle, Li Yuan could not control the fight between his two sons, which would inevitably lead to an endless struggle between the two. However, Lu Chen still had the doubts that he had been pondering before.
But things are different now. Li Xiuning did not die during this campaign against Liu Heita. In other words, Li Xiuning still has the ability to check and balance Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin. Now it depends on Li Xiuning's intention to decide which of them has the chance to occupy that position.
.
Lu Chen directly pointed out Li Xiuning's current situation. Lu Chen did not believe that Li Xiuning could not imagine his current situation. At the same time, he also did not believe that Li Xiuning had not returned to Chang'an, but was hiding in Niangziguan to remain neutral. It was not because of this incident.
"Then who should I support based on your wishes?" Of course Li Xiuning understood the meaning of Lu Chen's words, and it was precisely because Li Xiuning thought of the key that he stayed at Niangziguan and refused to return to Chang'an to guard
Niangziguan was used as an excuse to remain neutral and stay away from disputes.
"It's not who I want His Highness to support, but what do His Highness think?" Lu Chen opened the folding fan and shook it slightly, looking at Li Xiuning with a smile.
"I don't know what to do at this time! I wanted to remain neutral, but now I didn't expect it to be like this! Originally, the direct relationship between our brothers and sisters was very deep!" Li Xiuning seemed to have some feelings for her brother and
My younger brother felt tired from fighting, his expression became a little tired, and his words also had a hint of pain and heartache.
"Brothers and sisters have a deep relationship. The relationship between the Li brothers and sisters was forged on the battlefield. Suddenly they started to turn against each other. Is that position really so attractive?" Lu Chen did not speak, but touched his chin and thought about it.
I always feel like there's something missing in the middle.
Suddenly the word "Aristocratic Family" flashed through Lu Chen's mind, and a character that Lu Chen had always ignored flashed into Lu Chen's mind, that is, the "Five Surnames and Seven Hopes" aristocratic families. In these aristocratic families, in addition to Lu Chen and
Li Xiuning mentioned the "mansion army system" except once at that time, but Li Xiuning never mentioned it again.
Could it be..., a terrible thought rose in Lu Chen's mind, but this idea was so terrible that Lu Chen couldn't believe it himself, because this idea made Lu Chen think about it with great fear, Li
Do you really dare to do this? Are you so cruel to yourself?
If it is what Lu Chen thinks, then this "Xuanwu Gate Change" is definitely the most terrifying plan, a huge plan to pave the way for Li Tang. If it is really what Lu Chen guessed, then we can only say,
The Li family has done so decisively for the sake of this world.
"Actually, it's just who His Highness supports, and who does the family support?" Lu Chen was trying to trick Li Xiuning now, wanting to confirm what he was thinking.
"Aristocratic family?" Li Xiuning was stunned when she heard Lu Chen's words, and she also understood that Lu Chen finally saw through everything. The other Li Xiuning didn't know that Lu Chen was just testing Li Xiuning and confirming what he was thinking, but
With Yuan Tiangang's reminder and Lu Chen's recent actions, Li Xiuning was convinced that Lu Chen had seen through everything and was preparing for a direct showdown.
"It seems that Mr. Lu has seen through everything! Yes, our Li family is indeed planning to bring the aristocratic family into the battle group, and then..." Li Xiuning's expression has returned to normal at this time. After saying this, he directly waved his hand and slashed.
Actions.
Seeing Li Xiuning's actions, Lu Chen immediately understood. Sure enough, his guess was correct. This so-called "Xuanwu Gate Change" was a "feast" prepared by the Li family to eliminate the aristocratic family. Unfortunately, the aristocratic family seemed to be very cautious.
Although this "feast" also cost the aristocratic family, compared with the huge aristocratic family, it was far from achieving the goal of eradicating the roots. It was not until Wu Zhao became emperor that the aristocratic family was completely destroyed.
"Who came up with this plan of injuring the enemy by one thousand and damaging yourself by eight hundred? And this plan may not really achieve the results!" Lu Chen's words directly poured cold water on Li Xiuning's heart. It was obvious that Lu Chen had no idea about this plan.
is not recognized.
"It's my eldest brother!" Li Xiuning answered Lu Chen's question with some sadness.
"Why?" After hearing Li Xiuning's words, Lu Chen stopped shaking the folding fan and looked at Li Xiuning blankly, because Lu Chen thought in his heart that there were only two people who could pull off this plan, either Li Yuan or Li Shimin.
Both of them are capable and courageous people. The courageous Lu Chen never expected that it was Li Jiancheng who proposed this plan, and he even used his body as a bait to lure the family into taking the bait.
"Because my eldest brother will die soon!" Li Xiuning took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes. Thinking of the past between himself and Li Jiancheng, and then thinking of the time when Li Jiancheng coughed violently while talking about this plan, the whole family fell into silence.
During the scene, Li Xiuning couldn't help but start crying.
They are brothers and sisters who came through the bloody storm together. Needless to say, there is no need to talk about the relationship between them. Especially Li Shimin, when he heard Li Jiancheng's plan, he overturned the table in anger and even clamored for it.
He went to destroy all the aristocratic families, and Li Yuanji even broke through the doors. In the end, it was only after Li Jiancheng's strong persuasion that he made this plan.
"My eldest brother has been relying on the prescriptions left by Taoist priest Sun Simiao to stay alive. However, Taoist priest Yuan said yesterday that my eldest brother probably doesn't have a few years left, and the only one who can save my Li family from this disaster is my husband!" Li Xiuning stood up and said to her.
Lu Chen gave a big gift directly.
"I see, then everything makes sense!" After hearing Li Xiuning's explanation, Lu Chen sorted everything out. Li Jiancheng was planning to use his remaining life to directly bring down the family, and for
To pave the way for the future of the Li family, it's a pity that we chose the wrong method.
"Your Highness, have you ever thought that even if a group of people from aristocratic families are eliminated this time, if the aristocratic families cannot be uprooted, wouldn't it be that people from the aristocratic families will be replaced in the court in the end? Therefore, the fundamental reason why the aristocratic families cannot be eliminated.
It's not about who is in the court, it's about the books! It's here!" Lu Chen directly pointed out the fundamental reason why the family has survived for thousands of years, which is the "cultural blockade", and pointed at his head.
"But this problem cannot be solved overnight, so if you want to solve this matter, I need to meet His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the King of Qin!" Lu Chen continued.
"Okay! I will write a letter to the prince, King Qin and others right now!" Hearing Lu Chen's promise to help, he immediately smiled.
"Hey!" Lu Chen sighed helplessly in his heart. After a long time, he was still involved in this "controversy over the inheritance". However, Lu Chen thought about it again. If history is not changed,
Next, if this matter is resolved, will he not disappear? Will he be able to go to Chang'an by then?
"Then I'm just waiting to see the crown prince and His Highness the King of Qin!" Lu Chen smiled at Li Xiuning and said in his heart: "This woman's face is really a June day. It was cloudy just now, and now it's raining.
It’s clear, but this matter still has to be blamed on that magician Yuan Tiangang, sooner or later we will deal with him!”
Lu Chen secretly crossed out the word "Yuan Tiangang" in his heart, "If there is nothing else, I will say goodbye!" What Li Xiuning said today made Lu Chen tired of it, so he stood up and said goodbye to Li Xiuning.
