P.S. Some readers in the book review section think that classical Chinese really affects the reading experience, so the author should try to write less in the future!
Of course, the author was actually uncultured and admitted that he didn't know much about classical Chinese. It was just to highlight the formal conversation atmosphere of the ancients (scholars)!
Personally, I think there are three ways for the ancients to talk:
The first is our vernacular, of course, there are some different words or no words!
The second type was a formal conversation between scholars or royal relatives and nobles, which was also the so-called 'giddy'!
The last type, written records, was truly difficult to understand!
The author deleted some similar conversations.
"Sigh…"
Li Shi Min pinched his beard and sighed. Just hearing about Lin Chen's kingdom made Li Shi Min yearn for it.
However, for an emperor, especially an ambitious emperor, this was not a good thing.
If all the people of the Great Tang knew about the good of the State of Donglin, the Great Tang would be facing a great calamity!
Most importantly, it seemed like he couldn't take the initiative to fight. There were many reasons for this. Otherwise, when he first found out that the Donglin Country had suddenly appeared, Li Shiming would have immediately started fighting instead of sending Li Lizhi.
After defeating the Turks with great difficulty, Li Shiming was thinking of taking care of the aristocratic families. However, he needed a long time to do so, or else there would be no one in the country to use!
"Your Majesty, why don't we let the five surnames and seven looks test the King of Eastwoods?”Empress Zhangsun said.
"Hmm? "If they come to an agreement with the Eastwoods King…" Li Shi Min frowned.
Li Shimin wasn't worried that Empress Zhangsun wasn't on the same side as him, but he didn't understand what Empress Zhangsun meant.
"Everyone knows that His Majesty is open-minded.
The Emperor also realized the constraints that the aristocratic families and the scholarly faction had created. Compared to the Emperor, the aristocratic families and the scholarly faction were all conservative factions, and they would often speak the words of saints.
As for Country Lord Lin, he had not been influenced by the culture of the Great Tang. He acted in an unrestrained manner and did not have the slightest restraint of the ancient aristocrats.
If the five surnames and seven Wangs were to contact him, did His Majesty think that they would be able to reach an agreement?
If the five surnames and seven Wangs provoked him, the Donglin aristocratic families would be like lambs waiting to be slaughtered!”Empress Zhangsun said.
"This…"
Li Shiming thought about it and realized that it was true. Even with his open-mindedness, he couldn't accept the words his daughter had told him, let alone those from the aristocratic families!
"Your Majesty, this stalemate with the Donglin Kingdom is not a solution. After all, the Donglin Kingdom is within the borders of our Great Tang!”Empress Zhangsun said.
"It's not safe…Moreover, if the conflict gets too intense, the foundation of the Great Tang will be damaged!”Li Shi Min sighed.
Although Li Shiming wanted to get rid of the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs, any emperor would do the same.
However, if the Five Families and Seven Wangs were to fall before they could go through much, the world would be in chaos.
Otherwise, with Li Shiming's personality, he could have directly sent an army to destroy the five surnames and seven Wangs.
The terrifying thing about the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs was the economic order and connections they controlled. This was their foundation.
However, in terms of armor, it was far inferior to the emperor.
After all, unless it was an open rebellion, under the Emperor's surveillance, the aristocratic families naturally did not dare to openly raise troops.
Although they had planted many descendants of aristocratic families in various key positions, if they were to really make a move, the aristocratic families would not be able to stop them.
However, doing so would be too damaging to a country, and it might even cause it to fall apart.
"Your Majesty, this is the foundation of the country in the future!”Empress Zhangsun picked up the book of Pinyin.
In the Great Tang, it was very difficult to learn to read, even if someone was teaching them. It was truly difficult for those who weren't smart to apply what they had learned.
This was because the Great Tang used the word cutting method. If one wanted to recognize a word, they had to recognize countless common words with the same pronunciation. For a person who could not read, just the same pronunciation was enough to tire him to death, and there was no simple way to do it.
"Hmm? Yes!" Li Shi Min pondered.
