After Li Kuan finished speaking, everyone was silent for a moment.

However, Wang Xuance quickly broke the silence.

"Prince, since his ascension to the throne, His Majesty has been suppressing noble families and supporting poor families.

Even the imperial examination reform proposed by the prince was to give the poor children more opportunities to stand out.

Later, I supported you to establish the Ministry of Education and promote education in various prefectures of the Tang Dynasty, which was actually a disguised suppression of nobles from aristocratic families.

As for allowing more academy students to enter various yamen, the impact on noble families will be even greater.

If this trend continues, it will take less than ten years for the influence of the aristocratic families in the court to drop to a historical low.

At this time, His Highness the Crown Prince arranged for someone to win over the nobles of the aristocratic family. Wouldn’t he be against His Majesty?”

Wang Xuance’s question should be a question in the minds of many people.

It is precisely because many people have this idea that they don’t think that Li Zhi will have any connection with the nobles of aristocratic families.

In this way, Li Zhi's choice can have unexpected results.

However, now that the Chu Prince's Mansion has guessed, the effect will naturally be greatly reduced.

Even at critical moments, Li Shimin could know that Li Zhi's practice of winning over nobles in aristocratic families might have unexpected results.

"Xuance, you are right. Your Majesty has always wanted to suppress the aristocratic families. Only by controlling the influence of the aristocratic families to a certain extent can the authority of the central court be established.

Otherwise, the influence of the court in many prefectures and counties would be relatively weak.

To put it bluntly, the ones that the imperial court can really control may be the various prefectures and counties in the Guannei Road.

However, as the saying goes, things will turn back when extremes are extremes. Your Majesty has been acting for so long, and the suppression of the aristocratic families is quite powerful.

At this time, if His Highness the Emperor expressed his willingness to cooperate with the aristocratic families, do you think they would be moved? Will they believe it?"

"Prince, if I were the children of these aristocratic families, I would definitely be moved. If His Royal Highness is not surprised, he will be the emperor in the future.

Your Majesty is no longer young now, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may not have been long before he ascended the throne.

In addition, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a very low influence in the court now, and it is really time to win over people.

At this time, Yu Zhining went to visit them, and everyone was probably willing to believe that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really wanted to win over them."

Wu Meiniang found that Li Kuan's thoughts were almost the same as hers, and there was a smile on her face.

With the current strength of the Chu Prince's Mansion, no matter what happens, as long as Li Shimin doesn't take action against them, there is no need to be very panic.

"I guess Changsun Wuji didn't even think of His Highness the Crown Prince's approach. If His Majesty or Changsun Wuji knew that His Highness the Crown Prince was trying to win over a family, would it be good for us?"

In Wang Xuance's mind, there is only the interests of the King of Chu's Mansion.

He had no official position in the court, he was purely Li Kuan's aide.

Therefore, when planning things, it is more direct and only considers the interests of the Chu Prince's Mansion.

"Now His Highness the Crown Prince has just taken action, and he still let Yu Zhining take action. Even if the prince goes directly to His Majesty and sue, the effect will not be much.

I think you can wait a little longer. At that time, the cooperation between His Royal Highness and the nobles of various aristocratic families will make substantial progress and some substantial evidence will be obtained by us.

If you let Your Majesty know at that time, the effect should be better.”

Wu Meiniang still has a very sufficient grasp of human nature.

Obviously, the effect of complaining at this time is very poor.

Li Zhi could completely turn the blame off on Yu Zhining, and even Yu Zhining could deny this matter.

At that time, not only will it not be possible to get good things, but it will also give Li Shimin a bad impression.

It's totally a matter of not being worth the effort.

"What the concubine said makes sense, so I will continue to arrange for someone to keep an eye on it and see if I can get any evidence.

Then we also look at the reactions of all parties in the future. If the aristocratic family really cooperated with His Royal Highness the Prince, it would be impossible for them to do nothing."

Wang Xuanwu is usually a person who talks very little, but today, he naturally cannot say nothing.

"Look more, inquire more, and do less. At this time, we don't have to be so anxious. The person we should be anxious is not us."

In the end, Li Kuan set the tone for today's meeting.

As long as everyone's understanding is unified, some things will be easier to handle.

Wu Meiniang and Cheng Jingwen both knew that Li Kuan had some other backup plans, so she would not be so worried.

...

The atmosphere in the Summer Palace has been very strange these days.

The news circulating outside is impossible for the palace to know.

"Aunt, Li Kuan is His Majesty's eldest son. Is this statement credible?"

After hearing the rumors, Wei Siren asked around, but received no useful information.

At that time, Changsun Wuji did so much finishing work, it was impossible that he had no effect at all.

If Wei Siren could get accurate information by asking casually, then he would underestimate Changsun Wuji's level.

"I didn't think about this problem at first, but after hearing this rumor in the market, I carefully recalled the scene of that year.

Although more than twenty years have passed and many things have not been remembered very clearly, I vaguely feel that the atmosphere in the Qin Palace on the day Li Chengqian was born was quite special.

Even the one who called the midwife at the beginning seemed to be Li Kuan's mother's side.

But the specific matters are all the two brothers and sisters Changsun Wuji, and I don’t know many things.

But combined with those clues, it is still possible that this rumor is true or not."

Concubine Wei frowned and thought about it seriously.

Her ability to firmly sit in the palace as a concubine is inseparable from the Wei family's support outside the palace.

Even when she was able to be crowned as a concubine, it was a way for Li Shimin to win over nobles such as the Wei family.

So she must be willing to share some information with Wei Siren and make some contributions to the Wei family.

Only by clarifying the situation can we formulate targeted plans.

Otherwise, if you stand in the wrong team, the consequences will be very serious.

"If this is the case, the situation will be complicated. Over the years, the Changsun Party has had a huge influence in the court, but after this incident, His Majesty's trust in Changsun Wuji will definitely decline.

His Highness the King of Chu is already quite prestigious. If this rumor is confirmed, then many people's views on His Highness the King of Chu will have new changes."

Wei Siren was able to be assigned to take charge of many things of the Wei family, so he naturally had talent.

With such a simple truth, he can naturally see clearly.

"That's right, it will not only have a relatively obvious impact on Changsun Wuji and Li Kuan, but it will actually have a very big impact on His Royal Highness.

However, I don’t think you need to rush to do anything. Let’s take a look first. I will also think about Your Majesty’s attitude and make plans at that time.”

After staying in the palace for so many years, Concubine Wei has long been the impulsive little girl.

This matter obviously won't end so soon.

Li Shimin's attitude has a crucial impact on the development of the incident.

But now everyone is a little confused about what Li Shimin's attitude is.

"Aunt, don't worry! This incident may affect the direction of the Tang Dynasty in the next few decades. I have the patience to wait slowly."

Wei Siren took a deep breath and made a decision in his heart.
