Tang Dynasty, I can lead troops through ancient and modern times

After Li Shimin said this, Li Chengqian finally took it seriously.

"Are you sure you want to take action against the family?"

Li Shimin nodded: "I have been doing it, but I don't have any good way."

"Well, now that you've said that, I won't hide it."

"The imperial examination must be reformed. It can no longer be controlled by aristocratic families. Ordinary people must be able to take the exam."

Li Shimin laughed and said, "It's easy for you to say that. How can ordinary people who can't read a single word take the imperial examination?"

"Even if some individuals have the opportunity to access books, how can they compete with the aristocratic families with vast collections of books?"

Li Chengqian nodded and said, "You are right, but you can win over the noble families other than the Five Surnames and Seven Families, give them some promises and benefits, and use killing methods to strike one faction and win over another. There will always be some noble families that will lean towards our royal family."

"Then we can use the books in these aristocratic families as a basis to recruit students from good families. In a few years, we will have a group of students loyal to the royal family."

"If we allow this group of students to participate in the imperial examinations, we can dilute the proportion of aristocratic families in the examinations. Over time, we can gradually reverse the situation where aristocratic families have a monopoly on the examinations."

Li Shimin still shook his head: "You are still naive. Things are not as simple as you think. The aristocratic families have been intermarrying for many years, and have formed a close blood relationship network. Even our Li family is a member of the aristocratic family."

"For example, your uncle's Changsun clan, are you going to uproot your uncle's clan?!"

Li Chengqian laughed: "Why not?"

"Don't talk nonsense, he is your uncle, your mother's brother."

"Besides, there is an unwritten rule among the noble families. When a family is in power, the other noble families will unite closely and jointly target the royal family. The alliance between them is not so easy to break."

Li Chengqian had not thought of this, but he knew that no matter how close the alliance was, there would always be loopholes that could be broken.

For example, the Pei family of Hedong!

"What do you think of Hedong Pei Clan?"

Li Shimin looked at Pei Xingjian who was not far away and asked: "Did you recapture Pei Xingjian?"

"Yes, he has completely surrendered to me."

Li Shimin nodded: "The Hedong Pei family is indeed a relatively mild family. We can be used as a breakthrough point. Then, what do you want to do?"

"There's nothing to do. Let's kill Li Tai first and lure out the family members behind Li Tai. Then we can use this as a breakthrough point to kill them all and make an example of them."

Li Shimin rubbed his brows and said, "Can't you just speak properly? Besides, when did Li Tai collude with the noble families?"

"It's not there now, but I'll make him have it."

Li Shimin was shocked: "You have already taken action?"

"It's not that I have already done it, but he had this plan in the first place, and I just pushed him from behind!"

Li Shimin said quickly: "No, this cannot happen. I will go and give this guy a beating now."

Li Chengqian shook his head: "It's too late. If you intervene now, it will only expose this matter, which will not benefit anyone and may even cause unrest. The only thing you can do now is to wait and see your son learn from your Xuanwu Gate Incident again."

"You!! What on earth do you guys want to do?"

Li Chengqian turned around and walked towards the carriage: "Didn't you teach me all this?"

Looking at Li Chengqian's back, Li Shimin was filled with hatred!

Why are all my sons like this? Why?

Are we just going to watch Qingque walk step by step towards the abyss?

Also, when did Cheng Qian come up with such a deep plan?

Is there some master behind him?

With doubts, Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian again.

The old man drew aside the curtain and looked at his son gently...

Could it be this old man?

Their clothes, as well as the clothes worn by Li Jing and others...

A hidden sect?

"Yuyu, go check the old man's background."

The eunuch not far behind Li Shimin immediately responded: "As ordered."

But what could he find out?

In a dozen minutes, Yuan Lao will disappear from Datang, completely disappearing without leaving any trace...

The group returned to the East Palace with only one minute left.

Li Chengqian dismissed all irrelevant people, took out a Tang sword, and cut open the space crack again.

After a dizzying moment, the group reappeared next to the experimental field.

"It's amazing, we just completed a time-space journey to the Tang Dynasty!!"

The assistant looked at the rotation of time and space in amazement, his face flushed with excitement.

Old Yuan also looked excited, holding in his hand a jade pendant given to him by Li Chengqian, a royal jade pendant.

At the same time, the reward of 10% physical fitness improvement was officially received.

Mr. Yuan, who had been hunched over, straightened his back instantly and felt a lot more relaxed.

"I am..."

"Grandpa Yuan, don't be surprised. This is a reward from God. With your efforts, you deserve this reward."

Yuan Lao opened his mouth but said nothing in the end. He led a group of people to the laboratory warehouse to get the seeds.

Looking at the bags of seeds treasured in the experimental bags, Li Chengqian and his companions all showed greedy eyes.

"Take it, young man. Take as much as you can."

Li Chengqian immediately ordered: "Cheng Yaojin, you are responsible for five catties, can you eat it?"

"No problem....wait, what does it mean to be able to eat?"

Li Chengqian spread his hands and said, "It's the kind that you eat into your stomach and can't chew."

Everyone immediately understood that this was a cheap way to avoid not being able to bring some things back to the Tang Dynasty.

Everyone looked at the seeds, rubbed their stomachs, and estimated how many pounds they could eat.

Cheng Yaojin said, "Your Highness, if we can bring back the rice seeds, can we also bring back the pepper seeds?"

When he said this, everyone clapped and shouted, "Why didn't I think of that?"

"Then you will be in charge of the pepper seeds. As for the other seeds, do you want to take any back?"

Su raised his hand and said, "I want that tomato."

Su Dingfang raised his hand and said, "I think the French fries we had at the highway service station are good."

Li Chengqian looked at Yuan Lao and asked, "If we eat this potato and then poop it out, can it still grow?"

When asked, Mr. Yuan laughed: "How is that possible? It has been digested long ago."

"What the kid meant was taking a laxative."

Old Yuan shook his head. "I don't think so. Right now it seems that only things like rice, wheat, corn, and tomatoes that are difficult to digest can be kept alive with laxatives. Others are either unnecessary or difficult to digest."

Li Chengqian scratched his head: "These are the ones, then we'll get 100 kilograms of rice seeds first, and we'll go to the market to buy the rest later."

One hundred kilograms of rice seeds can be loaded into two large sacks. After loading them into the car, the group respectfully bid farewell to Mr. Yuan and left.
