As a qualified politician, from a political point of view, he could maintain the thinking that a politician should have — there was no right or wrong in this world, only pros and cons.
Thus, he was able to use the most advantageous method to accomplish the goal that he wanted to accomplish.
”Compared to those old schemers who are upright, such as Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng. I think it should be easier to start from the point of view of a greedy official to pry open the foundations of the Great Tang Dynasty. ” Xiao Wen thought.
With that said and done, Xiao Wen did not hesitate at all, and immediately called out the list of the traitorous officials that existed in the history of Great Tang Dynasty.
When speaking of the Great Tang Dynasty's most illustrious and treacherous official, that should be Xu Jing Zong.
During the period of Tai Zong Li Shimin, he was in charge of the history of the prison cultivation country.
He used to cater to Li Shimin, trying to make all of Li Shimin's actions as beautiful as possible in order to cater to Li Shimin.
Anyone who had a grudge with him would be slandered by Xu Jingzong.
The way he did it was deeply despised by his descendants.
In the High Sect, Li Zong was attached to Empress Wu and had rendered great service to him in ascending to the last position, ”due to meritorious service” to the Prime Minister, Duke Feng.
Xu Jingzhong's father, Xu Jianxin, was loyal to both Nanchen and Sui. He died generously after killing Emperor Pang and Yu culture, while Xu Jingzhong wagged his tail to survive. Of the father and son, one was loyal and one was adulterous. One was an official, the other was an official. The gap between the two was as wide as the clouds and mud.
However, the calamity had spread for a thousand years. Historically, Xu Jingzong was born in 592 AD. He only died of illness in 672 AD, living to a total of 81 years old.
”That won't do. I've already asked about this guy, Xu Jingzong. He's still cultivating the history of the country. Although he could win her over, he should not be the first one to do so. ”There's no need to waste time on someone who's still a nobody like Xu Jingyun.” Xiao Wen thought.
Subsequently, he moved his gaze onto another person — Li Yi Manor.
Li Yifu was an official under the crown prince of Gao Zong, and because he supported Empress Wu, he became the ”red person” for the empress's side.
Historically, he was the Prime Minister and Duke Feng.
However, while Li Yi Manor was serving as Prime Minister, they had to spare no effort to work for Empress Wu, frame and kill loyal subjects, and expel kindness.
Moreover, he also has a wide range of friends and friends, official, many things illegal, deeply hated by the people of the time.
Although to the commoners of the Great Tang Dynasty, this Li Yifu was someone who should be hated with hatred. However, as the ambassador of another country, Xiao Wen realized that he couldn't wait for the other country's officials to follow Li Yifu's example.
As long as he could endure Li Yifu's dirty mouth when exploiting the lowest class of commoners, Xiao Wen could try his best to rope him in.
After all, Xiao Wen was not lacking in money.
As long as he could solve the problem with money, it would not be a problem.
However, Xiao Wen still kept a close eye on this Li Yifu.
Historically, Li Yi Manor was extremely influential, and gradually began to be disrespectful towards Gao Zong, causing the Emperor to feel deep dissatisfaction.
