The Imperial Study

Li Shimin is meticulously approving the folds, and with the cold of winter, news of people freezing to death has come from all over the country, which makes this emperor not feel very good.

"Your Majesty, the front of the clan chronicles has been lined up."

I don't know when Wang De has come to Li Shimin's side and said respectfully, Wang De didn't dare to make any mistakes in this matter explained by His Majesty.

In the case of the first few columns of the clan chronicle, Wang De did not hesitate and immediately came to report to this majesty.

Li Shimin couldn't help but be stunned after hearing the voice, and then remembered this matter, and time was slower than he imagined.

More than a month has passed, but Li Shimin didn't pay much attention to this matter, but took the rice paper and looked at it.

"Bump!"

"Bastard!"

Li Shimin slapped his hand on the table and said loudly, with a hint of anger in his words.

Wang De on the side had a trace of panic on his face, not knowing that His Majesty became so angry after reading the rebuilt clan chronicles.

But he knew that it must have something to do with this one, and Wang Desheng was afraid that His Majesty would blame him, so he couldn't help lowering his head and didn't dare to speak.

At this time, Li Shimin lost his former calm, and the anger on his face appeared, obviously this emperor was very angry.

I saw that the first place in the clan chronicle on the rice paper was written with the Cui clan of the Shandong Shi clan, and there were other Shandong clans in the next first class.

In the end, the key is that the Li royal family is actually ranked behind these clans, which is the reason why Li Shimin is angry.

The whole world is not the king's land, within the four seas, there are all royal ministers, and the whole world belongs to the Li royal family, but this is behind the other scholars.

"Pass Li Junxian!"

After a burst of anger, Li Shimin gradually calmed down, because he couldn't help but think of the oath he had made in front of that cheap father-in-law, and now he couldn't help blushing a little when he thought about it.

But at the same time, I thought about that bet, maybe I had lost it from the beginning.

Fortunately, in the face of this cheap father-in-law, it is not the first or second time that he has been deflated anyway, so Li Shimin didn't care.

........

Since Xue Rengui left Chang'an, Shu An has begun to relax, drinking tea and studying ancient scriptures all day long, and his life is very comfortable.

Occasionally teach a few of my grandchildren to write and behave, and before I know it, the New Year is approaching.

According to the usual practice, Shu An started to play the Immortal Boxing method early in the morning, and every day he insisted on finishing the fight, and his body couldn't help but warm up, and then he started to do other things.

It's just that an uninvited guest came today, and of course there hasn't been much change in Shu An's complexion.

Seeing that Li Shimin's face seemed to be a little unpleasant, coupled with the rice paper in his hand, he probably guessed what was going on.

How can Li Shimin, who has already begun to have the Imperial City Mansion, change his complexion, then there is only one thing, and that is the clan chronicles not long ago.

Aside from this matter, he couldn't think of any possibility that Li Shimin would come to him.

"Father, the people of the world have lost."

After the two sat down, Li Shimin's eyes flashed and he said, with a hint of loneliness in his words.

You must know that he was confident at the beginning, but now he is embarrassed, and it is not other people who slap him in the face, but these families.

"Isn't this result expected, there is no thousand-year-old dynasty, only a thousand-year-old family, this is not to say."

Shu An's face did not change much as usual, but he slowly said that if others said to Li Shimin that there was no thousand-year dynasty, they would have already touched the scales.

But when Shu An said it, Li Shimin couldn't help but fall into thought, and finally shook his head.

He wanted to find an example to refute, but in the end he didn't say anything, because this is the reality, is the fate of the Li Tang Dynasty only a thousand years.

In fact, Li Shimin did not think about the foundation of the world, but he thought that it was no worse than the Han Dynasty, so Li Tang should at least be farther away than the Han Dynasty.

"Father, the people can't control what happens in the future, how can we weaken the influence of the family now?"

Li Shimin's eyes flashed and he said, with a hint of sincerity in his words, and when he saw the rebuilt clan history, he suddenly found that he was a little exhausted.

Shu An glanced at Li Shimin lightly, and couldn't help but think secretly in his heart, it seems that Li Shimin has been hit a lot this time.

In history, it has been 12 years since Zhenguan was rebuilt and rebuilt, and at that time Li Shimin was able to pacify the Turks and rule the prosperous times.

It can be said that he is ambitious, so he will not be afraid of this blow, but now is not the time.

Of course, this idea of seizing the day made Shu An appreciate it very much, but in the face of this problem, Shu An began to sort out the language.

"To weaken the power of the family, this is not a day or two, but a long-term plan."

First of all, Shu An made a beginning, and Li Shimin nodded, knowing that the fall of the Sui Dynasty was not the result of the promotion of these families.

Li Shimin didn't want his Li Tang to repeat the mistakes of the past, so he naturally agreed with Shu An's statement.

"Let's start with this clan chronicle, if it is a people, what will you do next?"

Shu An's face was pale, and he continued to speak, but this time he asked Li Shimin rhetorically.

After the words fell, Li Shimin also thought about it, because of his anger before, he didn't think about this question.

But since Shu An asked, then he couldn't help but think about it.

"No matter how many generations it is, take the rank of today's officials."

After a long time, Li Shimin's eyes flashed with a hint of firmness and said, if you want to eliminate the influence of the family, you can only start from this point.

"So can Shimin guarantee that the family on the list today will not become another family in the future?"

Shu An's eyes flickered and said softly, there is no benefit in completely weakening the family on top of the facts.

Seeing that the Tang Rebellion family did nothing in the future, he knew that he couldn't even control the festival envoys, all because of the imperial examinations.

Therefore, in Shu An's view, it is not necessarily a good thing if the imperial examination system is too prosperous, and the later Ming Dynasty is an example.

The party fighting for the country is not inferior to the harm of the family, so a balance needs to be maintained between the two.

Faced with Shu An's repeated question, Li Shimin was silent, because he couldn't guarantee that according to his character, the second generation of Xungui would be a big party member no matter how bad he was in the future.

This is the beginning of the prototype of a family, and if it goes by time, it may not be able to become a thousand-year-old family.

"Everyone has selfish intentions, and naturally they all want to pass on to future generations, which cannot be changed."

Shu An's voice sounded again, and the emperor was silent again, because he knew that his father was right.
