Chapter 215: Why Do You Do That?

Don't look at Li Er's lips touching each other, he agreed happily.

But after sending away the three elders of the Li clan, Li Er was in trouble.

It’s really hard to persuade Su Li!

Others thought that Su Li was a knife introduced by Li Er to deal with Qi Wang of the fifth surname.

But in fact, Li Er knows better than anyone else that this is not the case at all!

How can he use Su Li...

When Su Li was still not well-known, he wanted to get Su Li to join the army, but it took a lot of effort.

Not to mention Su Li's fame is at its peak now.

The reason for this misunderstanding is that Su Li didn't like Wu Xingqi, which happened to scratch Li Er's itch.

He gave Su Li some small help, and then Su Li gave him another big surprise as usual.

The things involved here are endless, but they can never be explained to outsiders.

Li Er is the emperor, and the emperor's face is greater than the sky!

However, since you want to save face, the punishment you deserve really cannot be less!

The reason why Su Li moved the five surnames and seven hopes was because those powerful families did not care about the life and death of the people.

Li Er also has this consciousness of eliminating harm for the people.

However, he really didn't have the confidence to do whatever he wanted.

After Su Li kills the aristocratic family, he can pat his butt and return to the princess mansion to continue his leisurely life without hearing anything outside the window.

But can Li Er do it?

Again, the court is not about fighting and killing, but about balance.

If killing people could solve the problem, Li Er would have gone on a killing spree long ago, so why did Su Li do it?

However, persuading Su Li to help... is really difficult!

After thinking about it, Li Er decided to be honest.

He called a chamberlain and asked him to call Su Li into the palace.

Not long after, Su Li hadn't arrived yet, but Prince Li Chengqian came first.

Since Li Chengqian was lifted from the ban, he began to follow Li Er to handle state affairs.

No matter what, he is the legitimate prince of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Er always treated him with small punishments and big warnings, and he never really had any dissatisfaction.

"Father." "Li Chengqian saluted meticulously.

After being grounded before, he seemed much better behaved.

Even though he had all kinds of hatred for Su Li, he knew how to be patient and didn't want to be scolded by Li Er again.

What's more, during this period of time, the entire Tang Dynasty was left with heads rolling because of Li's killings.

Li Chengqian didn't know much about it, and he also knew that Su Li was powerful now, so it was better not to provoke him as much as possible.

To be a prince, one must have the consciousness to be a prince.

There is Lao'zi suppressing him above, and next to him is the enemy of the most powerful official in history.

When it's time to keep your tail between your legs, just be a little more cowardly, it's not embarrassing.

Li Er nodded lightly and said: "Su Li will enter the palace later, and I will discuss matters with him, so please don't interrupt randomly.

Li Chengqian nodded in agreement.

Soon, the chamberlain informed that Su Li had arrived.

Just now, Su Li was working in the Yamen, and suddenly heard that Li Er was about to summon him.

He just thought about it for a moment and understood what Li Er meant.

Recently, under his own high-pressure methods, Qiwang of the Five Surnames finally couldn't bear the pressure and returned to Ji to beg for mercy.

Based on Su Li's understanding of Li Er, if the family surrenders, he will definitely agree without hesitation.

So, on the way here, Su Li had been thinking about how to deal with Li Er.

The monarch and his ministers sat across from each other, and the prince Li Chengqian was serving tea beside him.

"Today the elder of the Li family in Longxi came to see me..." Li Er said straight to the point.

"According to what they said, you have been acting more and more ruthlessly recently. A member of the Li family in Longxi was sent to a three-thousand-mile ban just because he embezzled 100,000 yuan.

Su Li raised his eyebrows and asked unceremoniously: "Your Majesty has compassion for the aristocratic family?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Li Chengqian's face turned very ugly.

Strictly speaking, this was the first time he saw Su Li and Li Er discussing matters alone.

He never thought that Su Li would have such an attitude when he met Li Er in private.

Li Er, on the other hand, looked as usual, as if he was used to this scene.

Li Er ignored Li Chengqian, but sighed and said to Su Li: "Su Li, I know that you are considerate of the people and have good intentions. However, the influence of the family in the court is intertwined. If you really want to uproot it, It will only shake the foundation of the country. In this way, the gains outweigh the losses."

"I have only heard that a country is based on its people, but I don't know why Your Majesty thinks that aristocratic families are the foundation of a country?" Su Li asked.

At that moment, Li Er's expression became a little embarrassed.

After all, not long ago, he personally said that "water can carry a boat and also capsize it."

This statement was spread by Wei Zheng, and everyone said that Li Tukang was like a son. 【012603112 Feilu 181583151】

However, if I tell my conscience, the "water" Li Er mentioned is not really referring to the common people.

He was talking about powerful people and aristocratic families, but not ordinary people.

Li Er knows better than anyone else that since ancient times, it has never been ordinary people who can pose a threat to the throne.

But the cowhide has been blown out, and the character has been established.

Now if I ask him to change his words again, I really can't help but make a long face.

Li Er's mind was spinning, and he quickly found another angle.

"." How can I not know what you are saying? But even though a wealthy family is a distinguished family, they are also my people. They made mistakes and have been punished. Since you already know your mistake, why bother pursuing it?"

After a pause, Li Er then said earnestly: "I have granted you the title of King of Yongle, although the title is with the country. But if you make too many enemies, how will Che'er and his descendants deal with themselves in the future?"

Su Li shook his head, and then said softly: "It is precisely because of this that no aristocratic family can exist in the Tang Dynasty!"

As soon as these words came out, Li Er and Li Chengqian next to him both widened their eyes.

When Su Li spoke, her tone was calm and her expression indifferent, as if she was talking about a trivial matter.

But hearing it in their ears was no less than a thunderbolt in the sky.

You really want to cut the grass (Zhao Li's) to the root!

What hatred or grudge?

The Lu family who plotted to assassinate Su Che has been uprooted by you, and now you don't even let other aristocratic families go?

It's normal for Li Er and Li Chengqian to think this way. After all, when anyone hears Su Li's words, this is the first thought that pops up in their mind.

However, what Su Li said did not mean what they thought.

Li Er was thinking about the Tang Dynasty, but Su Li was thinking about the inheritance of the land of Zhuxia.

For thousands of years, the gentry have controlled the government for too long.

Under the pressure of the gentry, ordinary people could only work like cows and horses, even if they passed down the tradition for a hundred generations, and would never be able to stand up again.

The reform of the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty seemed to be for long-term planning and wanted to benefit the world.

But was the imperial examination system really successful in the Tang Dynasty?

Not to mention anything else, during the Tang Dynasty, in less than three hundred years, the Fan Yanglu family alone eliminated more than a hundred Jinshi scholars.

The other ones are pretty much the same. .
