Chapter 893: If There Is a Father, There Will Be a Son (One Change)
Li Tai then issued several decrees, including the construction of hospitals, schools, and banks throughout the country. At the same time, the land of the major families was also confiscated by the state.
Although those big families couldn't bear it in their hearts, they knew in their hearts that the current Tang Emperor was different from Li Zhi and Li Shimin.
They will use the Huairou policy to slowly weaken the strength of the family. This naturally gave the family a buffer of time to find a way to deal with the weakening of the imperial court.
But now this Li Tai is the opposite, relying on the powerful military power in his hands. Li Tai did everything he did to enforce it with an iron hand.
If you dare to openly oppose Li Tai's decision, then the Iron Guard Forbidden Army will soon come to your door. And the reason for coming to the door is definitely that you participated in the rebellion, and the result is the destruction of the Nine Clans.
So all of a sudden, the entire Datang set off a bloody storm, and at the same time, it also made those who were lucky completely dead. Although they hated Li Tai to the extreme, they also didn't dare to keep silent.
Something substantial is not dared to be done, but rumors can never be supported. So soon rumors spread, and even said that Li Tai was a tyrant like Emperor Yang of Sui.
There are even people who have begun to secretly conspire, preparing to unite as much as possible, with the ultimate goal of overthrowing Li Tai's rule.
Li Tai is easy to deal with on the bright side, as long as he is charged with a crime, he can be slaughtered. But hookups hiding in the shadows are not so easy to uproot.
……
"Father, it has been a few years since the sons returned to the Central Plains. So far, however, Manichaeism has not really begun to spread. ”
So the retainers prepared to begin traveling the world and began to spread the teachings of Manichaeism in the Central Plains. I wonder if my father thinks it's feasible? Li Xin asked Li Tai.
"Although I have an understanding of the teachings of Manichaeism, I am afraid it is not so easy for this Manichaeism to spread in the Tang Dynasty."
"First of all, Buddhism and Taoism in the Tang Dynasty have reached their peak. If you spread a foreign religion at this time, I am afraid it will be difficult for the people to accept it. Li Tai opened his mouth and said to Li Xin.
"Then I don't know if my father can do anything to let his son complete the master's entrustment." Li Xin opened his mouth and asked Li Tai.
"If you want to spread Manichaeism in the Tang Dynasty, you can only give Manichaeism a makeover and incorporate some elements suitable for the Tang Dynasty into it."
"And you should first put the position of the missionary in the martial arts, not the ordinary people."
"As long as you have a certain foundation, start preaching to the people. In the end, it can be recognized and worshiped by the people. ”
"But this process may not be completed in years or decades, and maybe even hundreds of dollars. Do you still think you should do it now? Li Tai looked at Li Xin and asked.
"My father is right, and my master once said that preaching should not be rushed for a while, but must be done gradually. Only when the people of the world know the doctrine of light will they be able to believe in Mingzun. Li Xin nodded and said.
"Since you are so persistent, I naturally can't help but support you. Just now you said that the doctrine of Manichaeism is light, so you should change Manichaeism to Mingjiao. ”
"I will send you some people to become the backbone of the Ming Sect. As for the lower level of mass power, I can't help it. Li Tai said to Li Xin.
"Thank you, Father, for giving Manichaeism a new name in the Central Plains. From now on, Manichaeism was called Mingjiao in the Central Plains. ”
"However, the personnel given by the father to his sons must be elite soldiers. Otherwise, there is no way for the retainer to help his father complete the task. Li Xin nodded and said.
Li Tai didn't expect that his eldest son would be so thoughtful. The reaction was so fast, I couldn't help but nod secretly in my heart.
However, Li Tai can also clearly feel that Li Xin, this kid, is taking the opportunity to blackmail himself. This is very similar to when I was younger.
At this time, Xuanhua and Wu Meiniang walked in. The two did not salute Li Tai, but said to Li Tai with a smile: "This is called that if there is a father, there must be a son." ”
"Sister Xuanhua, don't say it, Li Xin's performance today is exactly the same as when Qingque took the opportunity to blackmail his father." Wu Mei Niangjiao said to Xuanhua with a smile.
"Mother, it's not right for you to say that. Where did the sons dare to blackmail their fathers, but they saw their fathers so sad that their sons preached. I think my father should have another motive. Li Xin said to Wu Meiniang with a smile.
"I don't know if our little clever ghost has succeeded in blackmailing." Wu Meiniang reached out and touched Li Xin's head, and then said with a smile.
Although Li Xin is now a teenager, Wu Meiniang still treats him as a child. It's really caring.
Sometimes even Li Wei, the biological son of her and Li Tai, will ask Wu Meiniang who is biological between herself and Li Xin. It can be seen from this that Wu Meiniang dotes on Li Xinna.
"If you're a clever boy, I won't go around in circles with you. I will send you the messengers of light, the four great guardians, and the scattered people of the five major sects. Li Tai looked at Li Xin and said with a smile.
Maybe this is Li Tai's bad taste, or maybe Li Tai is too impressed by Old Man Jin's writings. Therefore, the subconscious always feels that the Ming Sect naturally cannot lack the left and right envoys of light, the four major protectors of the Purple Platinum and the Green Sect, and the five scattered people in the sect.
However, Li Xin doesn't know if his father has a bad taste, or if he wants to fulfill one of his martial arts dreams. After all, none of this has anything to do with Li Xin.
Instead, he said directly to Li Tai: "Father, the son feels that what the father wants the son to do is not a trivial matter. With these eleven people, I am afraid that it may not be able to do things. Besides, you'll have to give some start-up capital. ”
"If you don't go around in circles there, there will only be these eleven people at most. I can give you some of the funds when the time comes, and don't think about the rest. Seeing Li Xin's malicious smile, Li Tai said with a straight face.
"Then it depends on what the father asks the son to do, if the son does it, he will naturally do it without hesitation. On the contrary, if there is nothing that can be done about it, there is no way. Li Xin still said with a wicked smile.
Li Tai got up and sighed and said, "Now there is a rumor in the territory of Datang, and this rumor has incited many people to secretly join a mysterious organization. ”
"Although I don't know the name of this mysterious organization yet, and I don't know how powerful this mysterious organization really is."
"But there is one thing I can conclude, that is, the purpose of the establishment of this evil organization is to subvert the Tang Dynasty."
"So what you have to do is to use the power that Mingjiao has developed. Infiltrate this mysterious organization while your identity is hidden. ”
After Li Tai finished speaking, he took out a silver mask. And handed the mask directly to Li Xin. At the same time, he motioned for Li Xin to bring it.
After Li Xin put on the mask, he said: "After the son puts on the mask, he is the leader of the Ming Sect, and when he takes off the mask, he is Li Xin, the king of Wei." After Li Xin put the mask on his face, he said to Li Tai.
