It was also the conclusion drawn from the education Empress Zhangsun had received.
Xu Nian looked at Empress Zhangsun and chuckled.""Mother, you look like Kong Yingda now.”
Empress Zhangsun froze.
He then laughed and said,"You brat, you're teasing your mother."”
" Mr. Kong is…"
Thinking of Kong Yingda, Empress Zhangsun was speechless.
But she still didn't believe it.
"When you make it, mother will come and take a look.”
Empress Zhangsun could only say so.
"Deal." "Hui Xiang, go and find a carpenter with better craftsmanship."”
Hui Xiang nodded, picked up the design and left.
Empress Zhangsun took a sip of tea." By the way, Nian 'er, I told His Majesty about what you said last time, and the effect is quite good. His Majesty's reputation among the people has improved a lot recently. Taoist temples and monasteries have been singing praises of His Majesty nonstop. Now, almost everyone in Chang' an is praising His Majesty.”
"But the reward hasn't come yet. When it comes, I'll send it to you.”
Empress Zhangsun said to Xu Nian.
"Is that so?"
"It's good that it's effective."
"Hehe…If it doesn't work, I'll be implicated.”
"I wonder what reward Li Er can give me?”
Xu Nian was a little curious, but he also looked forward to it.""A woman? Land? Or gold?"
Empress Zhangsun was speechless.
"I don't know. The reward probably hasn't come yet."
"Oh right, Nian 'er, do you know about the aristocratic families?”Empress Zhangsun asked carefully.
Aristocratic clan?
"Five surnames and seven Wangs?" Xu scratched his head.
Five surnames and seven Wangs?
Empress Zhangsun was slightly stunned, but she quickly reacted.""The Five Surnames and Seven Wangs. Yes, they are the aristocratic families represented by the seven families.”
This child was really smart. The five surnames and seven Wangs were not bad words. It could be said that they completely summarized more than half of the power of the aristocratic families.
"What happened to them?"
"Mother? Did they bully you?"
Xu Nian frowned." This is a little difficult to handle, but it's not difficult either. Who asked them to meet me?"”
"But…Mother, I need your help to deal with them.”
Xu Nian said bluntly," The Five Surnames and Seven Wangs are rich and powerful. Even Li Er might not be able to deal with them. However, don't be afraid."”
"A bunch of worms."
"It's fine if we don't move when dealing with them, but since we're going to move, we have to uproot them.”
Xu Nian seemed to be talking to himself.
Empress Zhangsun's eyelids trembled slightly when she heard Xu Nian's words.
"This, Nian 'er…"
"You…you have a way?”
"They didn't bully me. It's just that there have been some business dealings recently and there have been some conflicts.”
Empress Zhangsun thought for a moment and came up with a very logical excuse.
It was normal to have some small conflicts in business.
"Oh, is that so? But mother, our family's business is not bad.”Xu Nian raised his eyebrows and said with interest,""I wonder what kind of business your family has? Is there a spice business? I can help."
Empress Zhangsun smiled bitterly. This child was really…too passionate.
He was slightly touched.
Empress Zhangsun said gently," Nian 'er, it has nothing to do with spices. It's all... Hai... Speaking of which, it's all the remaining business of the five surnames and seven Wangs. There are also some businesses supported by the government."”
"It is said to be supported by the government, but in fact, it is a business that has some connections with the current Emperor.”
"The rest were all snatched by the five surnames and seven Wangs.”
Empress Zhangsun said.
"In that case, your relationship with Li Er is not bad.”
Xu Nian said.
He nodded silently in his heart.
The last time he said that he would use the methods of Buddhism and Taoism, he came to a conclusion so quickly. His mother must have brought it back and told Li Er through channels, and then immediately implemented it.
With such speed, it seemed that his mother's husband's family had a very powerful network of connections.
At least he could talk to Li Er.
"The main reason is that His Majesty has no one to use now, so it's our turn.”
"I heard that His Majesty has been very frustrated recently. The five surnames and seven Wangs can be said to have completely restrained him.”
"I can't move or do anything.”
"Sigh…It also affected our business.”
Empress Zhangsun sighed helplessly.
"Even Li Er has no way?"
" His army! Kill them!"
"Isn't Li Er very good at fighting? Li Jing, Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, and so on.”
Xu Nian called out familiar names.
He was quite interested in these people.
It couldn't be helped. When he was young, he had read many stories about the heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
Empress Zhangsun shook her head." It's not as simple as you think. Nian 'er, you're still too young. You can't kill a noble family."”
"A thousand-year-old clan and a hundred-year-old dynasty. Most of the officials in the imperial court are members of the aristocratic clan.”
"His Majesty really doesn't have the guts to attack them unless he wants to make his reputation like King Zhou's in the future. However, how is that possible?”
Xu Nian laughed. He had said it casually just now.
It had to be said that Li Er valued his reputation very much. Otherwise, he would not have changed history and covered it up. Why? Wasn't it just a name?
Speaking of which, which emperor didn't care about his reputation?
Moreover, if the royal family were to go on a killing spree, the Great Tang would probably be like the Sui Dynasty, shining brightly for a short period of time.
Oh, so far, it's not as brilliant as the Sui Dynasty.
Xu Nian took a sip of tea.
"Mother, you've already said the solution, why are you still saying that there's no solution?”
"Hmm?" Empress Zhangsun was at a loss.
Xu Nian put down his cup." Didn't you say that most of the officials in the court are from noble families? The scholars in the world are led by noble families.”
"Why don't we kick out all the officials in the royal court and let the scholars take the lead in the court?”
Xu Nian said simply.
If there was a problem, there would naturally be a solution.
Empress Zhangsun was stunned.
After that, he laughed insincerely.
"Impossible!"
She sighed.
"Nian 'er, you're still too young…"
