The Zheng family in Xingyang originated from the great minister Nong Zheng of the Western Han Dynasty. At that time, Zheng Xing, Zheng Zhong and his son were famous Confucian scholars in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Zheng Hun successively served as Wei Commandery, Shangdang Prefect, and was a famous minister of Cao Wei: Zheng Chong, Taifu of the Western Jin Dynasty, the founding father...

In the Tang Dynasty, the Zheng family in Xingyang had ten prime ministers, and the rest had many military envoys, generals, and Sima officers, so many of them joined the army, so it is impossible to investigate them in detail.

Although such a big family was relatively low-key in the early years of Zhenguan, Li Kuan never looked down upon it.

Strategically, he despises the aristocratic family, and tactically, he values ​​the aristocratic family. This is Li Kuan's attitude towards the aristocratic family.

"Of course I know about the Zheng family in Xingyang. I was in Liangzhou a while ago, and Zheng Guang, the governor of Liangzhou, is the contemporary head of the Zheng family in Xingyang."

Li Kuan looked at Li Xueyan's anxious expression and was slightly moved in his heart, but his words were still calm and calm.

Li Kuan knew very well that Li Shimin had been weakening the power of the aristocratic family throughout his life. The more severe the relationship between himself and the aristocratic family, the higher his tolerance for himself.

However, many of the things I have to do in the future are deviant and subvert the past. If I don’t hold on tightly to this thigh, I really can’t think of having a good life.

So when he was in Liangzhou, when Li Kuan knew that Zheng Guang, the governor of Liangzhou, was the head of the Zheng family in Xingyang, he didn't even take the initiative to meet him.

"Second brother, you said you..." Li Xueyan stamped her foot, "Don't you know who the prince's newly married brother Liangdi is this year?"

"Your Majesty, the Liangzhou governor Zheng Guang you just mentioned is the father of Prince Liangdi. If the Chu Palace enters the papermaking and book industries on a large scale, it will inevitably impact the interests of the Zheng family." Cheng Jingwen added on the side.

"It doesn't matter whether the wind blows from the southeast to the northwest. As long as I am loyal to Your Majesty, I have nothing to fear." Li Kuan didn't take it seriously. "There are some semi-finished papers in front of you. Are you interested in taking a look?"

Lice are not itchy when there are too many, so Li Kuan vigorously improves his protection level, which is not a whim.

If you look at the fate of those presidents who touched the capitalist cheese in American history, you will know what situation you may face.

Not to mention that the Cui family, the Lu family, and the Zheng family have joined forces. Any one family has raised many dead soldiers. Otherwise, how do you think the heritage of a thousand-year-old family comes from?

"Forget it, you won't listen to me, but you must take more guards when you go out in the future!" Li Xueyan was not in the mood to continue visiting the papermaking workshop, "Second brother, Jingwen and I are going back first."

Although Cheng Jingwen still wanted to stay for a while, Li Xueyan said she was leaving, and she was too embarrassed to stay alone.

…

Tai Chi Palace.

"Li Zhong, what are Kuan'er doing these days?" Li Shimin was speechless when he saw a pile of memorials to impeach Li Kuan on the table.

As long as Li Kuan was in Chang'an City, he would cause trouble every now and then. In the past year or so, the total number of memorials to impeach him must have been higher than that of several people.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Chu has rarely gone out recently. He is basically in the courtyard of the King of Chu's Mansion or in the workshop." Li Zhong answered cautiously.

"Huh! He doesn't go out much. He gets into trouble whenever he goes out, right? At such a young age, he is always jealous in the brothel."

What happened to Li Kuan and Chang Sun Chong in Tianxiang Pavilion was basically unknown to ordinary people, but there were few nobles in Chang'an City who had not heard of it.

Li Zhong:……

"Then the Yushitai has recently accused Kuan'er of being extravagant and living a life of wine and meat. What's the real story behind it?"

Li Zhong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Li Shimin asked about something he happened to know clearly, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Chu must have been wronged in this matter. Although the food, clothing, housing and transportation in the Prince of Chu's Mansion cost more than ordinary people, it is far from enough."

The place above is a place where wine and meat are pooled.”

"Then why did the censor say that the prices of livestock, meat and eggs in the Western Market have increased because of him? If the cost is just a little higher, is that what it is?" Li Shimin was not very satisfied with Li Zhong's answer.

"Your Majesty, this is because the King of Chu bought all those chickens, ducks, geese, and pigs to raise. I heard that he bought more than 100,000 chickens, ducks, and goose eggs alone."

"If a dignified prince does this kind of thing all day long, can the censor not impeach him?" Li Shimin threw a memorial on the table, "Can he buy over a hundred thousand eggs and eat them? Can he hatch them?

?”

"Well... Your Majesty, this humble minister has heard a little bit of the news, but..."

"Li Zhong!"

"Your Majesty, I heard that the Prince of Chu's Mansion has built several greenhouses and placed eggs in the greenhouses. It is said that when the time comes, chicks will naturally hatch."

Seeing Li Shimin getting angry, Li Zhong didn't care whether what he said was reliable or not, he threw it out first.

"How can we hatch chicks without hens? Won't they all be broken when we put them in a greenhouse?" Li Shimin felt that as long as there was news about Li Kuan, it would always refresh his outlook.

Li Zhong was crying and didn't know how to answer.

If you knew it, you wouldn't have to worry about how to report it.

"The imperial censor read his book and said he was extravagant. I don't think he was wronged. More than a hundred thousand eggs were wasted by his nonsense. Isn't this considered extravagant?"

Li Zhong:……

"How long have those eggs been in the greenhouse? Do you think they're bad?"

Li Shimin firmly refused to believe that eggs could be hatched without hens, so he wanted to see if he could save these eggs.

Otherwise, Chang'an City will have another new joke.

It’s a disgrace to the royal family!

This guy, just after making great achievements in the northwest, he started to invent new tricks for himself.

"Your Majesty, those eggs have been in the greenhouse for at least half a month. It's hard to say whether they are bad or not, but I have to ask His Highness King Chu to take out the eggs..."

Li Zhong had no confidence at all that he could get Li Kuan to hand over the eggs he bought with real money.

Besides, it took the Prince of Chu's Mansion more than ten days to collect these eggs. If they were taken out all at once, they wouldn't know what to do with them.

"This Li Kuan, if you give me any problems, go and give him an oral order and tell him that no one from the Chu Palace is allowed to go to the Western Market to buy chickens, ducks and goose eggs."

At this point, Li Shimin feels that he can only take one step at a time.

…

The other courtyard of Prince Chu's Mansion.

"My lord, those eggs have been in the greenhouse for almost twenty days. If you don't take them out to eat, they will all go bad."

It was almost time for the eggs to hatch the chicks. After having breakfast, Li Kuan came to the greenhouse to check on the situation.

Laifu followed beside him, with a sad look on his face, feeling that his prince had been normal for a year, and then became abnormal again.

"Uncle Laifu, I have told you many times that the eggs in the greenhouse are used to hatch chicks."

As an old man in the Chu Palace, Li Kuan still respected Laifu, so even if Laifu questioned the role of the greenhouse one after another, he was not angry.

However, his tone was also helpless.

Things that subvert cognition are always met with great resistance.
