Chapter 624: Shocking Secret
"No, not." Li Derao didn't care about Bai Fan who was getting angry at all. Before he told this, he had already expected Bai Fan to get angry. After all, Bai Fan, the nobleman is different from other nobles.
"The strength of the aristocratic families is indeed extremely weak and is not enough to fight against the imperial power. Yang Guang, the former Sui Dynasty, had no less military strength than that of the current Tang Dynasty, and even had it even surpassed that of millions of people. Every time, he could use millions of people to attack Goguryeo. Even if our five surnames and seven families joined forces, it would be a situation of destruction.
If you cannot face the enemy head-on, you can only take a secret action. Yang Guang is a promising emperor who has made great efforts to benefit the country and the people through the ages. He resolutely ordered the start of construction. Haha, it was just that when it was implemented, he was a little anxious to achieve success, which led to a lot of deaths.
Goguryeo has always been a subordinate of the Central Plains. It is easy to provoke a war between them and the Central Plains. It is enough to make their people more rebellious and anger Yang Guang. However, Yang Guang has indeed known people. He fought Goguryeo three times because of his own selfish desires, but saw the threat of the Goguryeo people. Such a foreign race with ambition should be destroyed.
Similarly, it was a good thing. The strength of the former Sui Dynasty could destroy Goguryeo, at most it was only a serious injury to its vitality. However, he was a little impatient, which led to the original waste of money and the final public grievances."
When Li Derao said this, his face did not blush and his heart was not beating, as if he was telling a story about someone else. Who could imagine that an old man who looked kind and kind could be so cruel and ruthless inside, which made Bai Fan very annoyed.
"It's really shameless. The culprit who harms the people, now when I talk about these things in front of me, I don't feel ashamed at all? Are you afraid that I, Bai Fan, will kill you in anger?"
Bai Fan's aura was relieved, and he shook the elderly Li Derao three steps back and stood back with a crutch. At this time, only the two of them chatted privately, otherwise Li Derao would not dare to say it out loud.
"Haha, Mr. Lantian, I dare to say it is not because of this. If you ask me, can't bear to be ashamed? I can tell you clearly that Li Derao is so ashamed that he was unfair to meet his ancestors after his death. However, as the head of the Li clan, I have a clear conscience to these things, and there is nothing else, and the aristocratic family is just for survival.
Heaven and earth are unkind, and they regard all things as straw dogs!
You tell me about the replacement of the dynasty? So what if it perished in the second generation of Sui Dynasty? The ancient Qin Dynasty was different because it perished in the second generation? So what if it perished in the fourth generation of the powerful Han Dynasty for four hundred years? Isn’t it going to perish sooner or later?
You tell me about the lives and death of the people, the country is in chaos, and the people are living in poverty?
Haha, I have seen countless tragedies at this age. Our aristocratic families came from the Five Barbarians invasion of China. In that era, according to classics, we had no ten orthodox bloodlines in the Central Plains. From the strong Han Dynasty to the end, only a few million were left. How many people died in that era? Who remembers them? Do you know how our families survived from the hands of alien butchers?
No matter what time the dynasties and dynasties, the lives of the people are the most valuable. Human life is like grass, and this is nothing more than saying.
A thousand years of experience can be said to have made us used to life and death. Whether you say we are despicable or cold-blooded, this is the way for our aristocratic families to protect themselves in order to survive. If we cannot survive in this world, all other righteousness is lies. At our level, only interests are profits, so how can there be right or wrong?"
Smack sex...
Bai Fan couldn't help but applaud the old man, okay, very good, high-sounding, killing without blinking, despicable, shameless, inhumane, etc. Bai Fan could no longer find suitable words to describe the aristocratic family's practice, but on the other hand, Bai Fan still agrees with him, and what this person said today is frank enough, at least it is very reasonable to infer it like this.
When a court has already become abolished by its own group of people, then it is only possible to find a way to push the wheel of history. If it doesn’t work, change the dynasty. You should know that in troubled times, not only ordinary people but also grassroots heroes can take advantage of the situation. These aristocratic families are more convenient. After all, they have many scholars and many smart people. If they bet on the princes all the way to succeed in the final position, they can re-enter the court and grasp the overall situation.
"When the Tang Dynasty rebelled against the Sui Dynasty, you should help me." Bai Fan asked with a gloomy face.
Li Delao smiled and nodded and said, "Yes, you are indeed smart enough. At first we thought about supporting Dou Jiande, but this person has a narrow vision and is not the same as us. Luoyang Wang Shichong is not enterprising enough, so we examined many people. Only Li Yuan, Taiyuan, can become a great man. In addition, he has four tiger and wolf sons. Haha, when he was up, we took out some money and lent him. Otherwise, he, the Duke of Tang, wouldn't he have so much money and food to gather troops?
This matter is also obscure. We also sent some talented children to him, but what we didn't expect was that heroes emerged in troubled times. Gradually, Li Tang became richer and more prosperous, and countless civil and military officials gathered. When we were put in, the light was no longer very dazzling, so this was unexpected.
But even so, they dare not do anything to our aristocratic families. Even if Master Li had plans in mind, he would probably have to do it slowly."
Nodding, Bai Fan expressed his approval. This move of the aristocratic family has indeed solved the threat of Yang Guang from the former Sui Dynasty. If a newcomer is at least not so stunning.
This is true in history. His son Li Chengqian couldn't marry a woman from five surnames. He refused to marry him openly. Even if he was extremely embarrassed as the emperor, he would be helpless.
"What about now? The Tang Dynasty also opened the imperial examination system and followed the path of Emperor Yang Guang of Daye. Why didn't you take any action? Do you still want to hold on to the evil in secret and start another battle in the Central Plains, and wars are everywhere? Until a weak and incompetent monarch is used to be your puppet?"
Bai Fan always called Yang Guang the Emperor of Daye. Even though the person who compiled historical books in the Tang Dynasty called him a tyrant and a foolish monarch. When Li Yuan founded the country, he was vilified and given the posthumous title of Yang, Bai Fan had his own view of right and wrong in his heart. Emperor Yang of Sui had more contributions than his faults in his life. Even Li Yuan admitted that his son Li Shimin was most similar to Yang Guang, but Yang Guang failed.
Therefore, Bai Fan insisted on his respect for Yang Guang in his heart and always called him the former Emperor of Sui Dynasty.
Li Deraorao looked at the young man in front of him with a deep sense, and shook his head with a smile: "Originally, we would have maintained a tacit understanding between us and the Tang Dynasty for at least decades, and neither side would take action to maintain a balance in the political situation. Li Yuan knew about this, and his warlike son Li Shimin also knew about it, but he didn't expect that there would be a variable in the Tang Dynasty, that is, you Bai Fan."
Bai Fan sneered, "How do you know that my appearance was an accident? Could it be that it was a destiny? You should know that although a hundred-year-old dynasty and a thousand-year-old family, there is no real existence in this world that has always been prosperous? Even if everything you have worked hard in the past will sooner or later be over. Even if I, Bai Fan, there will be others standing up."
"Yes, you're right, but at least those won't happen now, and in the Zhenguan period.
So I said you are a variable.
When you first appeared, no one took you seriously, thinking that you were just a young man with some talent. In this chaotic river of the world, you were only a wave at most. But what caught everyone off guard was that you established the Beggars' Sect with lightning speed and quickly developed to the whole country. More than one million Beggars' Sect disciples even wanted to give you three points.
This is your cleverness. Originally, these people at the bottom were a mess, but you had an idea to turn it into a sharp blade, a sharp blade that could fight against the nobles in the world.
What’s even more terrifying is that you destroyed three of the five surnames and seven families with the power of thunder. From then on, it is impossible for aristocrats from aristocrats to resist you head-on."
"Haha, I just want to kill less people in the Tang Dynasty, but I am not as scheming as you said.
If the three of them don’t come to provoke me, how could I do it? Otherwise, how could you four of you be fine?" Bai Fan waved his hand and refused.
