Chapter Thirty-Six: The Final Plan, the Mastermind Behind the Scheme
"If it weren't for the later martial mourning king Ran Min raised his arms and shouted, he issued the world-famous 'killing order'! My Chinese Han people, there is a real possibility that they will be wiped out by the extinct clan!
Therefore, Wu Mourning Heavenly King is one of the few heroes who is not an emperor, but is admired by Bai Fan! This person is not an emperor, but he can leave a name for eternity, and be remembered by future generations for the existence of a savior. ”
"Yes, the King of Martial Mourning is also a great hero that this king admires incomparably!" Li Shimin responded.
"Having said so much, has His Royal Highness King Qin ever understood? Since you are aiming for a great treasure, you don't know which one to do?
Bai Fan asked before, you said that you want to be an emperor like Emperor Qin and Han Wu, but now? Bai Fan stared at Li Shimin's eyes and asked with a smile.
Li Shimin did not speak, but fell into contemplation, after a long time, his eyes gradually brightened, followed by incomparable resoluteness, "At the beginning of the world, I was willing to take the Qin Emperor and Han Wu as the goal, just to restore the glory of my Han ancestors, today I have to be guided by Mr., understand the past of the ancestors, and take history as a mirror, in this life, I am willing to imitate the ancestors with meager strength to start from the guardian of my Chinese human race, with the goal of sweeping away the four desolations and eight wildernesses and dominating the world, and I will definitely be the 'co-master' of the next generation of human race!" ”
Bai Fan shouted, good! The King of Qin has this ambition, and he should clear the obstacles for His Royal Highness, check and fill in the gaps!
Open the door and go out, shouting into the front yard: Huai Mo, bring wine to the teacher!
A pot of the best wine in Wangjinglou, two cups were full, Bai Fan raised his glass to Li Shimin and said: "Congratulations to King Qin for being able to prove himself with a clear heart and ambition today, and the great cause of thousands of miles has taken the most solid step since then!" Fill this cup! ”
Li Shimin also raised his glass, "Thank you Mr. for your guidance today, Mr. is very gracious, and the people will never forget!" ”
The two of them toasted proudly and drank it all!
After talking about the matter, Bai Fan reverted to his previous bohemian image, no longer as serious as before, and said to Li Shimin: "In fact, in Fan's opinion, His Royal Highness and the crown prince are both innocent people, and the position of the prince can be resolved through negotiation within the royal family, or the saint can decide in one word, the so-called meat is rotten in the pot, in the eyes of the sage, whoever is the emperor of the two sons is the Li family, so it's okay!"
But it is precisely His Royal Highness the King of Qin that you are eloquent and strategic, and it can be said that you have single-handedly fought half of the Tang Dynasty, and you are followed by countless civil and military soldiers who are fighting for the future with their lives, you are not the emperor, aren't these people desperate in vain?
And because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince occupies the identity of the eldest son of the emperor, there is a great righteousness since ancient times, and the powerful people behind him have pressed their wealth on him early, and the so-called long-term investment is the reason, most of these people are old aristocrats in the country, and they are dominated by behemoths such as 'five surnames and seven families'.
The struggle between the crown prince and you is actually the struggle between those old nobles and the upstarts of the DPRK and China because of their military exploits, and the fight between the two parties for rights and interests can be said to be endless, and it is inevitable, and they are the masterminds behind the battle for the crown prince.
This kind of thing is called class contradiction, the rich can't see the poor getting rich and powerful, because then there will be many people who will take away the wealth in their hands, and the poor will once they gain power, and they no longer want to be the rich like before.
So this originally had nothing to do with Li Jiancheng as the crown prince and you as the king of Qin, you just happened to meet at the right time, the Li family became a royal family, and you naturally became a victim of the power struggle!
The Li family was originally also a nobleman, but since the Li family became a royal family, it became the leader of the nobles, or the person who spoke about things, in fact, it was to act as an intermediary to reconcile contradictions.
Although as the emperor, he is only on the surface, but inside, what he does the most is to balance all parties!
And this irreconcilable class contradiction like what I just said, even today's saints are helpless, watching their two most beloved sons being sacrificed and powerless, you can imagine what kind of mood the saint and his old man are like!
What's even more sad is that your brothers are not willing to kill each other, but in the end they are unconsciously treated as marionettes, and slowly raise the butcher knife to each other, leaving you with not only the infinite scenery after the fact, but also a lifetime of self-blame!
So if you say that you are very innocent, it seems that you are not as good as Bai Fan, a person who has no concern! ”
Li Shimin sighed, "Yes! Or Da Lang, you can see it thoroughly, even if it is the emperor, there are still many things in the world, and the emperor doesn't count what he said! If it weren't for Da Lang's reminder, this king would have almost caused a catastrophe!
So I wonder if Da Lang has any good way to clean them up? ”
"Well, there is a way, but the effect is not fast, and this matter needs to be slowly figured out!
Among these two forces, the upstarts in the DPRK and China are all old brothers who fight the world with Your Highness, and most of them are from poor people, and they will be the main force of our great cause in the future, so we have to stand with them!
The rest, hehe, give them a long memory of a greeting gift first!
This time, we plotted against His Royal Highness the Prince, and after capturing him, in the name of suppressing the rebellion, try to capture some of their manpower before those big families react, so as to weaken part of their strength, this part is mostly gathered around the prince by the strategists from the family, they are all spokespersons and talents sent by the family, and winning these should make the family sober up!
After they reacted, these people had already been accused of rebellion, and in order to save the lives of these people, the family had to give the corresponding benefits to the royal family, and then they could cut a knife on these big clans! Bai Fan smiled sinisterly, his eyes sparkling, as if he had seen countless riches flocking in!
Li Shimin was puzzled, "But, why didn't you kill it?" You must know that if you fight a snake, you will not die, but you will suffer from it! ”
"No, no, no, killing people is the lowest-end behavior, capturing them in exchange for the benefits we want, killing them has no benefit except for us to vent our anger and the other party to be afraid, right? Because we can't kill all the nobles of the world.
And if we kill too much, cause the family to rebound, and finally surrender to the enemy openly or secretly, it will be a big trouble, and we have to guard against it!
Therefore, take advantage of the goal to achieve the end of the hand, never greedy for small profits and entangled, the gains outweigh the losses, to deal with this group of people must be boiled in warm water like frogs, slowly figured out, within 20 years can be achieved even if we work hard! ”
Well, you have a point, but what the hell is boiling a frog in warm water? Li Er was a little confused!
"I know that His Royal Highness is worried that if he doesn't kill these people, in the future, when the prince is alive, they will support him again and take the opportunity to rebound, so I have a small suggestion here, that is, a person on the battlefield who misses and injures the prince, such as a broken hand and foot, etc., let others see it, knowing that although the prince is not dead, he is already crippled, and the Tang Dynasty can't be made an emperor by a cripple!"
Li Er has a black line, there are so many tricks to damage this goods, his poor eldest brother, the younger brother is reluctant to kill you, so he has to wronged you to suffer a lot! If you want to blame Bai Fan, blame it!
"You have a heart-to-heart relationship with your eldest brother, so calculating, can you bear to do it?" Li Er quipped.
Bai Fan's face was straight, and he snorted: "I'm saving him, don't be ignorant of good people's hearts, I just hope that His Royal Highness will grasp the proportions when he makes a move, this injury is for others to see, and he will be cured by the prince when he returns home, outsiders only know that the prince intends to murder the king of Qin, rebel against the situation, and finally be countered by the king of Qin, and he was injured and disabled in the battle!" His reputation is stinky, his body is crippled, and the position of the prince has nothing to do with him, these are enough for you to take the position!
Wait until His Royal Highness's great cause is formed and the regime is stable, you can comfort him with brotherly affection, and it is best to let the prince go out of the mountain again, after all, fighting the tiger brothers, the career that His Royal Highness will face in the future, it is difficult for a person to fully support it, and the most you should trust is your own brother!
I can say bluntly that in the future, the world of Datang will be very big, so big that Your Highness can't sit alone and eat! So don't be afraid that the prince will do you any harm in the future! Only the help of your brothers is the beginning of the real great cause of the Li family! ”
Li Shimin smiled: "Okay! For the future of Datang, you and I will drink this cup! ”
After drinking the wine in the cup in one gulp, Bai Fan sighed and said, "Alas! His Royal Highness is right, today Bai Fan is so calculating the prince, out of this door, I am afraid that I will not be able to see the old friends of Wangjinglou again! ”
