Chapter 317 The Great Tang Dynasty (Part 7)
These opportunities are opportunities for their families to grow again. You should know that these aristocratic families had almost entered a state of restriction before, but now Li Shimin has given them a brand new opportunity.
Not only does it make them richer, but it also allows them to control more land and leave more assets for the family.
As for who made money, it depends on how both of them think it is.
How could Li Shimin not know that these aristocratic families must have made money at the beginning, but Huo Gang said it was right. First, put these aristocratic families into the rules set by him, Li Shimin. As long as he entered his Li Shimin's rules, he would have some way to deal with these aristocratic families later.
Regardless of whether he is cleaned up or not, there is another reason, that Li Shimin must be rich! That’s right, as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin is now poor!
If he had money, according to Huo Gang, he, Li Shimin, could forcibly promote free reading in the Tang Dynasty. The books were not much money, and the salary provided to those gentlemen was not much. In this way, all the poor princes in the world would be his Li Shimin's students!
So, can aristocratic families still control the official positions in the world? No!
At that time, will the whole world be like him? Li Shimin is very clear that it is not important for aristocratic families to have money. What is important is that while they are rich, a large number of outstanding family children will serve as officials in important positions in the entire country.
These family members have built an extremely complex network, which is the real family difficult to deal with. If there are a large number of poor families to make up for these positions, then the family members will be simply rich, and there will be no problem at all.
Therefore, Li Shimin was not afraid of the temporary growth of these aristocratic families, and the fists he had to be retracted first to be more beneficial.
If you want to get more of their things, you must give it out first.
After scattered from Du Ruhui, everyone returned to their mansions, but some ministers gathered together in groups of three or three. They needed others to discuss with each other, but no matter that, the entire Chang'an City was destined to be unable to sleep all night tonight.
Li Shimin was also thinking about how the dynasty will be held tomorrow. These things will definitely not be discussed tomorrow's clear. The small meeting after tomorrow's dynasty meeting is the real key. At that time, almost all the important officials of the court will come to Li Shimin.
If these people reach an agreement, then others will not be a problem.
These people have represented most of the power, and no one else can object to it. I wonder what Du Ruhui's banquet today was like.
There shouldn't be much problem with this, and Li Shimin is still confident in this regard.
However, this matter is put later, and there is another thing Li Shimin needs to discuss with Empress Changsun.
"Guanyin maid, I have something to discuss with you." Li Shimin, who was lying on the bed, hugged Empress Changsun and spoke.
"Erlang, tell me." Empress Changsun said softly.

"There is one thing I haven't told you yet, that's this time. I've made a decision and I decided to marry Lizhi to Huo Gang." Li Shimin said.
"This..." Although Queen Changsun guessed that this was not an easy thing, when she heard it, she couldn't help but sit up directly, and didn't care that the clothes on her body were sliding off her shoulders. Anyway, there was no one else in the room.
"Your Majesty, Lizhi is only 7 years old this year." Empress Changsun couldn't help but speak.
"I know, I won't let her go directly now. Six years later, when Li Zhi is thirteen years old, she will officially get married." Li Shimin also sat up and spoke seriously.
"Huo Gang is a talent, and the importance of the Han Dynasty is unquestionable. The most important thing is that Huo Gang is also a Han Chinese, not as barbaric as the leaders of the Turkic people. Although he is ten years older than his beautiful temperament, he is definitely a good match." Li Shimin's tone was serious.
"Guanyin maid, I'm not afraid to tell you that in fact, I can let one of my sisters marry him, but to be honest, I'm not relieved. If this sister has some erroneous intentions, then the Han Dynasty will definitely have the strength to defeat our Tang Dynasty in the future." Li Shimin's tone was very serious.
"This... he is really that powerful?" Empress Changsun was also a little shocked. Li Shimin's evaluation was too high!
"It's not false at all. To be honest, I just want to pull him into our camp. Think about it, if it weren't for the great man who had absolute strength, I wouldn't have taken his thoughts seriously. It was because I saw this possibility in him that I would agree. And Lizhi's marriage to him is much more suitable than these young talents in Chang'an City."
"Although the Western Regions are a little farther away, the Great Han Yumen Pass is not a bitter and cold place. On the contrary, that place has now been run by Huo Gang, which is no worse than any city in our Tang Dynasty."
"And if we have a good relationship with the Tang Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, you don't have to worry about not seeing the beautiful lady in the future."
"Besides, as a princess of the Tang Dynasty, this is her destined mission in the future. Even if I don't marry Huo Gang, I will choose a good son-in-law for her. If nothing unexpected happens, it's probably the son of your brother's family." Li Shimin said softly.
This is a normal thing for cousin in this era. Empress Changsun thought for a while. Although she was still worried, what else could she do? Li Shimin had already said clearly. After a long time, Empress Changsun said quietly: "Erlang, I understand. Then let Lizhi live in the palace for the remaining years."
"I'm answering you." Li Shimin nodded directly and agreed. Not to mention Empress Changsun, Li Shimin was somewhat reluctant to let go. He was his biological daughter. But thinking about it, marrying Huo Gang is different from those princesses in history. At least she would not endure hardships there, and she would have a chance to return to Chang'an to see them.
At the next day's grand dynasty meeting, the things discussed above actually had nothing to do with other things. They mainly discussed the follow-up handling of An Xinggui's rebellion, the handling of Guazhou, Liangzhou, and Jie Li's problem.
In fact, these issues have been postponed, and the people who should be dealt with have already set out. For example, the Tang army has already set out for attacking Jie Li's army. If nothing unexpected happens, when the Tang army is at the city, the Turks in the Eastern Turks will surrender directly.
Their most elite cavalry is gone, and Jie Li is dead. The remaining little Khan of the Eastern Turks must not dare to go against the Tang Dynasty.
Li Shimin had already told Yuchi Gong and others who were leading the troops that if they were willing to surrender, Li Shimin would not punish them, as long as they surrendered.
However, after the Eastern Turks surrender this time, it will definitely not be like in history. Li Shimin would set up the Anbei Protectorate. Even if it was set up, the Anbei Protectorate is completely different from that in history.
However, these have actually been decided, and now it is nothing more than assigning the subsequent work to the assigned department, so that the ministers below can start to do these work.
When the dynasty meeting was approaching, Li Shimin spoke again: "Chang Lin, promulgate the imperial edict."
"Yes!" Chang Lin next to Li Shimin immediately walked out and took out an imperial edict from his arms.
"Under the disciple: the eldest daughter Li Li is quiet and gentle, born with beauty, virtuous and virtuous, and she is wise and virtuous. She is a Tang Mu, and there is an old seal. Therefore, Guazhou, Longyou Dao, was renamed Changlezhou, and can be named the princess of Changlezhou. The master will implement it. September 23, the first year of Zhenguan."
After Chang Lin finished reading, no one opposed all the ministers below, because they all knew why the enthronement was, so naturally no one opposed it. As for the old seal of Xiyi Tang Mu in the edict, they didn't want to complain.
The meaning of this sentence is that the enthronement of Princess Changle has an old system, not contrary to the ancestral system. The problem is that Li Yuan was still alive in the early Tang Dynasty. Where is the ancestral system? Isn’t it that what Li Shimin said is what?
The princess behind you is capable. Your Majesty, please follow this specification to enthrone it? The land of a state is directly distributed to a princess. How many states are there in the world that can be enthroned? But they all know what is going on, so they don’t talk nonsense.
After all, they saved Li Shimin's life. The ministers like them can't argue in this regard. Didn't they even see that Wei Zheng didn't say anything? Naturally, they wouldn't have to find Li Shimin's bad luck in this matter.
"Subordinate: Now, Huo Gang, the lord of the Great Tang Dynasty, is seventeen years old. He wants to make a love between the Qin and Jin Dynasties with our Great Tang Dynasty. After repeated requests from the other party, although I am sad, I have made an eternal alliance for the Tang Dynasty and the Great Han Dynasty. Now I will marry Princess Li Lizhi to Huo Gang as his wife, and use Changlezhou as the dowry. Now I send an envoy to the Great Han Dynasty to sign a marriage letter, and will be envoy Gao Shilian as the envoy. The master will implement it."
"September 23, the first year of Zhenguan."
As the second imperial edict was read out, the ministers below should naturally accept the imperial edict, because the last sentence of the edict, the master's execution means to hand it over to the responsible department to execute it immediately.
For example, the Ministry of Rites is responsible for the second marriage letter, so the Ministry of Rites is naturally responsible for the composition of the envoy. Gao Shilian has been waiting in Wuwei, but the envoy is large in size and it is impossible for only one person.
Especially for such a formal mission, it is impossible to carry less things.
After the two imperial edicts were announced, today's dynasty meeting ended. However, most officials did not leave immediately after leaving the Tai Chi Hall. Sure enough, Chang Lin came over and called the names of most officials and officials, and asked them to go to Liangyi Hall to discuss matters.
