"Wei Zheng, how is this possible?" Hu Weiyong asked in surprise.

"That's right, it's Wei Zheng. At that time, the greatest strength in the Tang Dynasty was in Shandong, and the greatest strength in Shandong was the wealthy family in Shandong. Wei Zheng was a native of Julu, Hebei, and the Wei family was the largest gentry in Shandong since Northern Qi. Such a large gentry was in Shandong. Naturally, Taizong, who was eager to stabilize the country, wouldn't let it go?"

After some investigation, Taizong was surprised to find that such a large gentry was mostly Shandong heroes. After the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, many of them were the leaders of various rebel armies. They had their own connections with each other, which was the most unstable force after the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

And the one who can control all this power was the Crown Prince's Wei Zheng? This Wei Zheng was born in a Shandong gentry, a talented young man, and is very famous in the Shandong area. In addition, he screamed in the Wagangzhai Uprising led by Li Mi in his early years, and was highly valued by Shandong heroes. He was very loyal to him. Such a strength was actually mastered by a weak scholar. How could Taizong let it go?

After some thought, Emperor Taizong of Tang found that if he wanted to control this power, the most ideal thing was to control Wei Zheng. Wei Zheng was born into a Shandong gentry and was a wealthy family. In addition, he was a half-hero after joining the Wagangzhai Rebel Army. Now he is the remnant of the princely party. If he used Wei Zheng, then Li Yuanji would give up the princely party in China. Even the heroes in Shandong were settled. This was a battle to win two birds with one stone. Emperor Taizong of Tang was the emperor of the ages. How could he let go of such a deal that would make a profit without losing money?

In this way, Emperor Taizong of Tang appointed Wei Zheng, which also left behind an eternal story of harmony between the king and the ministers for later generations.

However, what Emperor Taizong of Tang did not expect was that Wei Zheng had already seen his calculations. After surrendering to Emperor Taizong, he was not afraid of Emperor Taizong at all.

For example, after Emperor Taizong of Tang, the Tang Dynasty returned to the whole world and had a strong national strength. Emperor Taizong of Tang wanted to take the opportunity to regain the Liaodong area occupied by Goryeo due to the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty. As soon as this plan came out, it was opposed by Wei Zheng. As a dignified emperor, he finally had to give up attacking Goryeo. It was said that it was Wei Zheng's contribution as scheduled, but it was better to say that the big tree of Shandong gentry to support Wei Zheng, which made Emperor Taizong Li Shimin have to give up this plan.

For example, Emperor Taizong of Tang wanted to follow the example of Qin Emperor Wu of Han and climb Mount Tai and the world was small, and he would climb Mount Tai to Fengshan. As soon as his idea came out, he was strongly opposed by Wei Zheng, saying that this move was a move that was a life-threatening act and a tyrant monarch. In this regard, Emperor Taizong of Tang sighed and had to give up. During Wei Zheng's lifetime, Emperor Taizong of Tang had never had a celebrating Mount Tai. All of this was because Wei Zheng was leaning against this big tree in Shandong, which allowed him to be in a state without any scruples in the temple and could be in a straightforward manner." After saying this, Li Cunyi looked at Hu Weiyong and said, "Now

Although our Li family is not as good as the Shandong rich family of Wei Zheng in Tang Dynasty, it was also considered a wealthy family in Hongwu. The entire Huaixi soldiers were not determined by the leader of our Li family. The world is not yet determined. The emperor has just ascended the throne and relied on the strength of Huaixi. As long as Lord Hu was given to the throne by my elder brother, and my elder brother assisted him, let me ask, who dares to look down on the throne of civil and military officials in the dynasty, even the emperor must have some estimates. Today, I, Li Cunyi, said a big word. With my Li family, the position of the prime minister will be as stable as Mount Tai!"

"As stable as Mount Tai?" Hu Weiyong's heart moved and he muttered to himself.

Li Cunyi nodded and said, "That's right, it's as stable as Mount Tai. Therefore, today's opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Lord Hu. If you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult for you to ascend to the sky if you want to take the stage!"
