Chapter 299 Li Shimin's Calculation
Palace, Nectar Palace.
Li Shimin was reviewing the memorial, Li Mu came over and said softly: "Your Majesty."
Li Shimin was still looking at the memorial, without raising his head, he asked casually, "What's the matter?"
"Your Majesty, there is a secret report from the Baiqi Division that a group of dead soldiers from the Wang family sneaked into the vicinity of Chang'an in batches. According to analysis, it is very likely that they are planning to attack the Marquis of Jingyang County." Li Mu said.
Li Shimin's eyes flashed, he put down the memorial, raised his head and asked, "Has everyone been monitored?"
Li Mu lowered his head and said, "Return to Your Majesty, this time the Wang family sent all elites. Some are under surveillance, and some have not been found."
Li Shimin pondered for a long time, with no expression on his face, showing no signs of happiness or anger.
Li Mu's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and he didn't dare to breathe.
He played a trick in what he said just now. In fact, only a small number of people are under surveillance.
The Wang family sent all the elite among the dead, and it was very difficult to monitor them all without being noticed.
He said that part of it was monitored, but he didn't say how much it was.
Now it seems that Li Shimin can't hide it at all.
After a long time, Li Shimin finally opened his mouth and said, "I am very disappointed this time."
Li Mu fell to his knees with a plop, and said, "Your Majesty, forgive me!"
Li Shimin looked at Li Mu for a while, looked away, and said calmly: "Get up, I don't want this kind of thing to happen a second time."
Li Mu didn't know whether Li Shimin was talking about his narrow-mindedness or ineffective monitoring.
But now it seems that Li Shimin doesn't intend to pursue it, so Li Mu is relieved.
"Your Majesty, do you want to send someone to protect the Marquis of Jingyang County?" Li Mu asked cautiously.
Do you want to send someone to protect Lin Xuan?
Li Shimin was also thinking about this question.
The aristocratic family sent many people to Chang'an to do things before.Not long after that, the Wang family sent someone to assassinate Lin Xuan again, it was like slapping him in the face.
Li Shimin's first thought was to send someone to protect Lin Xuan, so that all the dead men would never come back.
Then go to the Wang family to settle accounts.
However, Li Shimin quickly calmed down.
No evidence could be found from those dead men. Even if he knew that the Wang family did it, but the Wang family refused to admit it, he couldn't help it.
For an emperor, sometimes evidence is not important, but sometimes it is very important.
If there is no evidence, going to deal with the Wang family will only make the world's aristocratic family think that Li Shimin is going to attack them.
There are more than five surnames and seven Wangs in the world. If those aristocratic families all get together, he will have a headache.
And now is not the time to deal with the family.
It's not that he is afraid of the family, but that he doesn't want to use force to solve it.
He has been suppressing the family, just to slowly weaken the family by boiling frogs in warm water.
These years have had little effect, until the reform proposed by Lin Xuan gave Li Shimin hope.
It is not the family's private soldiers and huge wealth that make Li Shimin worry about the family.
Although the aristocratic family has a large number of private soldiers in their hands, if Li Shimin is ruthless and tries his best to make the Tang Dynasty retreat, it is not impossible to destroy the aristocratic family.
What really makes Li Shimin scruples is that the aristocratic family occupies a large number of official positions in the officialdom, and the former students and old officials all over the world.
Once the aristocratic family is attacked, Datang will be paralyzed.
Now that the imperial examination is being reformed, as long as he is given time, he can naturally solve the family's problems without bloodshed.
There is a better way, why bother to take some risks?
"There's no need to send people to protect them. Once they attack, just ask Li Junxian to lead people to rescue them as soon as possible." Li Shimin said lightly.
Li Shimin issued such an order for a purpose.
He had studied Lin Xuan carefully, and found that Lin Xuan was the kind of donkey.
Don't hold back, rush backwards.
Others think about being promoted all day long, but Lin Xuan thinks about not having to go to court all day long.
People without ambition, although reassuring the emperor, are not the emperor's favorite.
For example, if you are the boss, your employees think about being salted fish all day long, and you don't like it either.
But Li Shimin found out that Lin Xuan has a shortcoming, that is, he has a strong desire for revenge.
When he was assassinated, he proposed the reform of the imperial examination.
The Wang family impeached him, and he made paper.
Five surnames and Qiwang started his business, and he invented movable type printing.
These things are especially helpful for him to suppress the family.
Who knows if Lin Xuan has more ruthless methods?
If someone is sent to protect Lin Xuan, Lin Xuan will not be in any crisis at all.
In this way, although Lin Xuan will retaliate, he will definitely not be too cruel.
Li Shimin decided to force him.
It took a lot of time for Li Junxian to get the news and take people to the rescue.
This time can completely give Lin Xuan a strong sense of crisis.
Li Shimin is looking forward to how Lin Xuan will take revenge on the Wang family afterwards.
Li Shimin's calculation is very good, but what if something happens to Lin Xuan before Li Junxian arrives?
Didn't Li Shimin consider this issue?
Do not!
He thought about it, but he thought that Lin Xuan had a lion horse, even if he couldn't beat him, he would still have no problem running.
Although there is still the possibility of death, but the probability is very small.
Compared to suppressing the aristocratic family, it is very worthwhile for Li Shimin to let Lin Xuan take some risks.
For the emperor, everyone in the world is a pawn, as long as he thinks it is worthwhile, there is nothing that cannot be sacrificed.
Li Mu was startled, and said: "Yes!"
Although he was very puzzled by Li Shimin's decision, he didn't dare to ask more questions.
……
Park Yuan College
After several days of discussion, Xu Geng fully announced the reward mechanism that Lin Xuan mentioned last time.
After the whole academy learned about it, it boiled up.
For those gentlemen, they are willing to teach only for money.
It may be too straightforward to say this, but it is the truth.
And what about those students?
The students of Boyuan Academy, except Zhouzhuang people, the rest are from the surrounding villages.
Students from other villages spent money.
Although the money is not much, but those who are willing to pay for their children to study, the conditions in the family are relatively good in Murakami.
But whether it is a student from Zhouzhuang or other villages, no one can ignore the rewards.
Five strings of money is enough for one year's expenses for any of their families.
Although the academy was not very far from Zhouzhuang, when Goudan returned home, the sky was already dark.
The chickens raised by Zhou Aniu's family are already big. Zhou Aniu is fine, so he likes to sit in a wheelchair and stay in the yard watching the chickens run around.
Seeing Goudan come back, Zhou A Niu said with a smile: "Your mother is cooking. I killed a chicken today. I will eat more tonight."
On such a day, Zhou Aniu feels very happy, always with a smile on his face.
Goudan said: "Father, I can eat meat every day in the college, and I'm tired of eating it. I just need to eat something."
Do dog eggs really not want to eat?No, he craved it very much.
The college provides meals at noon, and there is also meat, but they must not be eaten as meals.
But he knew that his family seldom ate meat, so he wanted his parents and sister to eat more.
Of course Zhou A Niu knew his son's little thoughts, and said with a smile: "There is too much chicken. Come, push me into the house."
Goudan pushed Zhou Aniu into the room, and not long after, Shen Yuee and Erya brought food.
The family sat down around a broken table.
Shen Yue'e gave Goudan and Erya the two chicken legs.
"Mom, I don't need it, give it to Dad."
As he said that, Goudan picked up the chopsticks and wanted to put the chicken leg to Zhou Aniu.
Shen Yue'e quickly stopped: "There is still so much meat, eat quickly, be obedient."
