Chapter 102 Why teach me? (Part 2)
"I don't know."
Su Dawei felt quite bald.
After all, he was a later generation and did not know much about the aristocratic families of this era.
I was also confused about the affairs in the court before.
It was still after taking charge of Ducha Temple that I could find out some tricks by reading a lot of information.
However, in terms of specific details, it involves aristocratic families. If An Wensheng does not seek advice, he will still be confused.
Li Hong pursed his lips, as if he had made up his mind and said, "I have heard of Zheng, the Zheng family of the five surnames in Shandong, and Zheng Shanguo."
After a pause, he saw that Su Dawei had no intention of interrupting, he continued: "His father was sincere and was killed in a fierce battle against Yuchi Jiong. He was nine years old. He was sentenced to the emperor for his father's death and the emperor was ordered to attack his official title. He was so sad that all the viewers were crying.
His mother came from the Cui family in Qinghe and was wise and wise in politics.
Whenever he was kind and responsible, Cui listened to him in the cabinet. If his affairs were unfair, his mother would not say anything to him.
Good fruits lie in front of the bed and dare not eat all day long."
Su Dawei listened carefully and knew that this was about Zheng Shanguo, one of the five surnames in Shandong.
He remembered that Zheng Shanguo seemed to have been a minister of Dali Temple.
Very famous.
By the way, it seems to be the affairs of Emperor Taizong's dynasty. Before Zhenguan years, this person seemed to be the governor of Jiangzhou.
But the person should have died now. I wonder what Li Hong meant when he mentioned Zheng Shanguo?
Keep listening.
"At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Wei Yunqi, the censor of the Book of Documents, risked his life to expose Yu Shiji, the Internal Secretary, and Pei Yun, the Censor, "Now, the changes in all directions are reported, and the number of thieves is large, or the words are reduced, and the official army is defeated, and the thieves are growing day by day."
Dali Gong Zheng Shanguo said that what Wei Yunqi said was untrue, and that he destroyed famous officials and discussed the government affairs.
As a result of Wei Yunqi being demoted, Zheng Shanguo was fed to Jiangdu.
After the Jiangdu Mutiny, Yu Wenhua and Zheng Shanguo were appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and followed him to Liaocheng.
King Li Shentong of Huai'an surrounded him, and Zheng Shanguo was attacked by Yu Wenhua and the city guarding the city and was attacked by Langya.
Later, Dou Jiande conquered Liaocheng and captured Zheng Shanguo, mocked him and said, "I am a minister of the Sui Dynasty, why did he fight for the tyrant who killed the tyrant, and he was so wounded?"
After the Battle of Hulao, Emperor Gaozu ordered Zheng Shanguo to be the ambassador of Shandong Dao to appease Dou Jiande's old place.
As a result, Hebei rebelled for the second time, and Zheng Shanguo was dismissed from the election."
After Li Hong finished speaking, he looked at Su Dawei with anticipation.
Waiting for Su Dawei's evaluation.
Su Dawei thought for a while before he understood what he meant.
What Li Hong said just now is similar to the semi-classical Chinese recorded in historical books.
The general idea is that Zheng Shanguo has few virtuous reputations, but when he grows up, he changes and becomes very shameless.
Wei Yunqi was a loyal minister, but Zheng Shanguo covered up the treacherous ministers.
During the Jiangdu Incident, after Yu Weng killed Emperor Yang of Sui, Zheng Shanguo followed the thief again.
So Dou Jiande was arrested and ridiculed by Dou Jiande for making a fuss.
He said he was a minister of the Sui Dynasty, but he served Yu Wenhua and his role in killing Emperor Yang of Sui.
There is no courtesy at all.
After joining the Tang Dynasty, after Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan ordered Zheng Shanguo to be the ambassador of Shandong Dao, Zheng Shanguo failed to recruit and rebel, causing Shandong to rebel again, causing Liu Heita's rebellion.
Simply put, this nobleman from the Zheng family in Shandong bullies the superiors and helps the thief to rebel, and takes revenge on his own.
But he can still keep his talented people and famous in the world.
Think about it carefully, the tricks.
There will be many problems to be found.
First of all, the aristocratic family mastered the mouthpiece of public opinion.
Even though Zheng Shanguo's behavior was so unbearable, he was actually known as a wise minister in contemporary times and even in later generations.
But looking at his actions, it is not an exaggeration to say shameless.
The second meaning is that the aristocratic families have a deep connection, master the land population, and the local grassroots public opinion. The imperial power naturally has an opposite.
What to do.
The third meaning.
Uncle, you just said that the emperor should be as broad-minded as Taizong, and even the talents in the enemy should be put aside their hatred and absorbed for my use.
But can shameless people like Zheng Shanguo also need to be stored?
This is what Li Hong wants to ask.
Su Dawei frowned and thought hard, and didn't know how to answer for a while.
Too sensitive.
If the prince can say that the aristocratic family is shameless, he cannot.
Even if Li Zhi is in that position, he will only do it and not talk about it.
He smiled and took out a knife behind his back, sending those families that he had no choice but to deal with.
Power is firmly held in your own hands.
This is Li Zhi's way of power.
Li Zhi can do this kind of work, but Su Dawei can't do it.
Li Hong can't do it either.
"Uncle~"
"Prince, your question is very complicated, very complicated, and it cannot be explained clearly in just a few words."
Su Dawei pondered: "The existence of aristocratic families is inevitable. Things exist on both sides. There are reasons for their existence, and they have good sides and bad sides."
"Uncle, are you mixing with me?"
Li Hong pulled his sleeve and said unrestrainedly: "My uncle just now knows everything. Why did he say this? Is it all right?"
Su Dawei looked at Li Hong's thin face and wanted to smile bitterly.
Is this a kid a mess?
I'm just mixing with the slightest.
The aristocratic family has been around for more than two hundred years since the end of the Han Dynasty, from the rise of Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties to the present.
Until now, the Tang Dynasty court is still full of aristocratic families.
Shandong nobles and Guanlong military nobles.
Which one is easy to deal with?
Even if Li Tang started his career, he was a member of Guanlong and relied on the power of Guanlong military aristocrats.
This also determines that the Tang Dynasty could not completely break away from the aristocratic family.
Am I against myself?
Can I hold myself off the ground with my hair?
Li Tang himself was a Guanlong clan.
If we talk about the imperial examination, it started to be done in the Sui Dynasty.
But this thing is not yet developed.
The senior officials of the court were originally the same family and took turns to serve as the banker.
It is difficult for poor families to rise.
By Li Zhichao, although the imperial examination was being carried out, the number of scholars was really... not enough to see.
Compared with the huge aristocratic officials, the few people are completely different from the same magnitude.
I am afraid that after the Wu Zhou Dynasty, Wu Meiniang made drastic reforms and promoted a large number of poor families to ease the situation a little.
It is not a cleansing for Wu Meiniang. Objectively speaking, the series of political struggles in the Wuzhou Dynasty mainly fought against the Li Tang royal family and aristocratic families.
It is a good thing for the promotion of poor families.
After asking several times, Li Hong was a little discouraged when he saw Su Dawei just not talking.
He shook Su Dawei's sleeve in disappointment and said, "Uncle, I originally thought you would speak out to me."
"The premise of knowing everything is to tell me, and how can I talk nonsense about things I don't know?"
Su Dawei smiled at Li Hong and said, "There is no gold and no one is perfect, and I don't know everything."
After hearing what he said, Li Hong was feeling better, and nodded and said, "What my uncle said is that Honger forced him, right..."
He thought for a while and said, "Uncle and Master Xuanzang are familiar with each other?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"Speaking of this, Zheng Shanguo..."
Li Hong smiled on his face: "Shanguo once made a child who was under the age become a monk when he was young, and that child was Master Xuanzang."
"There is still this cause and effect?"
Su Dawei was a little surprised and shook his head speechlessly.
"Cause and effect are hard to guess. Now Zheng Shanguo and Master Xuanzang have both become ancient."
"Uncle, I have an impression of Master Xuanzang, he is very kind."
Li Hong walked a few steps and sighed.
"The prince has seen the mage?"
"Well, I vaguely remember that it was when I was four years old. I was just named the crown prince by my father. As a result, I was seriously ill that year. My father and mother were afraid that I would die prematurely, so they were with me day and night, and invited Master Xuanzang to pray for me.
On many days and nights, I opened my eyes and saw the merciful face of the master.”
A trace of sorrow was covered with Li Hong's eyebrows.
"I can still remember the face of the mage now, but the mage is gone, and I feel sad."
Su Dawei looked at Li Hong deeply.
I found that there was a kind of snail and a kind of loneliness on him.
I suddenly remembered that although the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, Li Hong had not been easy for the years.
It is even more miserable than children from ordinary families.
He is Wu Meiniang's eldest son. Maybe Wu Meiniang was still in Ganye Temple when she was pregnant with him and was not well taken care of.
When Li Hong got down, his body became a little weak.
He was seriously ill at the age of four and almost died.
After recovering from his illness, Li Zhi built a temple for him to fulfill his wish, which was Daximing Temple, one of the several royal temples in Chang'an City.
Later, in order to thank his parents, Li Hong built Jingai Temple in the eastern capital Luoyang.
When they were eight years old, Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang went to Dongdu hand in hand, leaving eight-year-old Li Hong to supervise the country in Chang'an.
Li Hong, who had just left his parents, cried day and night.
Later, I was brought by my parents and spent an extremely happy summer in the newly completed Hebi Palace in Luoyang.
When he was still young, he read "Zuo Zhuan" and sighed with the cruelty of those who killed regicides for power.
Finally, he told Guo Yu that he couldn't bear to see these cruel things and asked him to teach other homework.
So I read the boring Book of Rites instead.
Most children like Zuo Zhuan, which has many stories, but Li Hong is not.
In Li Hong's heart, the love between parents is the only warmth in his heart when he was young and sick. He can't bear to have anything to touch the family affection in his heart.
He was born in the center of power with him, although his parents were stained with the blood of their loved ones for his victory in this jungle world.
His eldest brother Li Zhong, who was concealed as a gangster, was sentenced to death by his father Li Zhi not long ago because of a rebellion case, and no one dared to collect the body.
When Li Hong, who was seriously ill at that time, heard that he had submitted a letter begging for a ceremony to bury his concubine's brother, Li Zhi was correct.
This is Li Hong, a prince who is soft and affectionate in his heart.
In connection with history, how can it not be sad to see his final death early?
"Uncle, what are you thinking?"
"Um?"
Su Dawei was pulled back by Li Hong, and then he realized that he was distracted for a moment.
He hurriedly said to Li Hong: "I just thought of something. Is there any problem with the prince?"
“There’s another one.”
Li Hong was not polite.
His eyes were clear and clean. He looked up at Su Dawei, and there was a hint of closeness in his eyes.
This look made Su Dawei's heart tremble.
He was so familiar with this look.
The same was true for Nie Su back then.
It was a look of extremely lonely in the world, wanting to get close, but being afraid.
Su Dawei sighed in his heart and said to Li Hong: "What do the prince want to ask?"
"Uncle, you said just now that you are from a good family, so you must have never been to school? I heard that my uncle is very good at using military service. When he was appointed as the governor of Xiongjin, he also did a good job in government affairs. Honger was very curious. How could you know so many things, uncle?"
"Well……"
