Cheng Biting Jin wanted to follow, but Li Chengqian had no choice but to respond to him.

The two of them soon arrived at the Taiji Palace.

Li Shimin saw the two at a glance.

He first saw Cheng Yanjin before he said, "Zhijie, why are you back again?" ”

It's back again, that is, Cheng bit King Kong just now, and it wasn't long ago!

Then he asked Li Chengqian: "Gao Ming, what's wrong with you, I see that you seem to be in a bad mood!" ”

Empress Changsun was also on the side, looking at Li Chengqian and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid something big is about to happen." ”

Empress Eldest Sun guessed correctly.

"Sons and daughters meet Your Majesty and Queen Mother!"

"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Queen!"

Li Chengqian was about to say, but Cheng Biting Jin was one step ahead of him and said: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Shi Cui Renshi and the Zuo Si Lang Lu Chengqing tried to assassinate His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

As soon as the words came out, Li Shimin slapped the table directly.

What a big deal, isn't it? These two people dare to do this, they are really not afraid of death!

"What, where are the two of them!? I'm going to ask why! I don't treat them well, what they dare to do, it's really very infuriating! ”

This is doing something unseemly under the emperor's nose. Li Shimin jumped like thunder.

Cheng Yanjin said again:

"Your Majesty, you have been killed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Dead? That's too cheap for them! This will take 30 days! I don't even talk about it in my heart! ”

Li Shimin said hatefully.

This is Li Chengqian said: "Your Majesty, the matter was urgent at that time, if it wasn't for their death, maybe the crown princess would have died, and the sons and daughters would have to die!" ”

That's how it was then, either they died or he died, there was no room.

Li Shimin was angry just now, but now he is better.

"Yes! Well, it's good that people are okay!"

Isn't Li Chengqian okay?

"Your Majesty, the retainer came this time to ask for something."

Li Chengqian did not come here to talk about his assassination, but to investigate this matter in depth.

"What?"

"About the future of Cui Lu's second family!"

Li Shimin sighed and said, "These two people are too important to them in vain. Gao Ming, what are you going to do? ”

"Your Majesty, in fact, it's not your fault, if you want to blame it, the two great families are too sharp, and Erchen feels that they must weaken their strength."

"Your Majesty, the concubine thinks that Gao Ming is right! These two men are probably an example. ”

Empress Eldest Sun also said on the side.

Li Shimin nodded.

"As for these two families, I am always thinking about what to do with them! Li Jing had attacked them some time ago, and now the power of these two families is not as good as before! I thought they would stop, but in fact it was not! It chills me! ”

"Your Majesty, these two are not in the business field, but in the officialdom!"

Li Chengqian said this, and he said it very clearly.

He clearly pointed the finger at officialdom.

"What do you think you should do?"

"The assassination of me will be announced to the public, and on this ground, the civil and military officials associated with the five families of the imperial court will be investigated, and special attention will be paid to one point, only the four grades or more can be checked."

Why, because only those above the fourth grade are eligible to enter the imperial city, and it is impossible for others to enter, so it seems that it is also very safe.

Moreover, the fourth grade and above are also considered to be decision-making, and without their decision-making, everything will be better.

As for someone going down, naturally someone will come up, Datang is full of talents, and there is nothing to be afraid of.

Li Shimin was still a little worried and said: "If this is the case, then the entire imperial court may be shaken!" ”

That's not a lot, it's huge.

Not to mention the number of people who are cleaned up, it will also cause panic.

Everyone is in danger, and those involved in the two families will definitely cut off their own way and separate the relationship with them.

"yes, not even in the green. But this matter is urgent! Can't delay it for too long. ”

Empress Eldest Sun added.

It would be better to take advantage of this time to clean up on the pretext of assassinating the prince.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right, long pain is better than short pain, one knife down, and the Tang Dynasty will be more stable in the future! Good for the future. ”

If I really want to mess with you, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it?

Just give you the charges, can you not step down? And it is also fought down from the top, which is the advantage of imperial power.

"Good! Leave this matter to Li Jing! ”

Why didn't Li Shimin hand it over to Li Chengqian to deal with, first, because Li Chengqian was busy, and second, he was protecting Li Chengqian, why? Because sometimes it will cause some unnecessary trouble, and after dealing with too many people, it will have a great impact on Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian doesn't matter, as long as he deals with it, whoever comes will be the same!

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"Also, the security of the East Palace is temporarily under the responsibility of Zhijie! Make no mistake! ”

Li Shimin said.

Li Chengqian said: "Your Majesty, the ministers are fine, but you want to be safe, Uncle Cheng is still in the Taiji Palace." ”

It is enough for Li Chengqian to have Wang Xuance.

Cheng Yanjin also said: "Yes! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has recruited a new master, and because of his protection, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is safe and sound. ”

Having said so, Li Shimin didn't say anything anymore.

In the next few days, the imperial court was really as Li Chengqian had guessed. At the same time, Li Chengqian also deliberately revealed that there were many available talents in the Tang Dynasty who were absorbed into the imperial court, and the education these people received was all Xinwu education, and they were less bureaucratic and more pragmatic.

And what is particularly important is that they are very much in favor of Li Chengqian's policy.

It's just that these people have just entered the imperial court, and the official positions they get are not high.

This is exactly what Li Chengqian wants to see, in the future, in the entire Tang Dynasty, there will be no such big family as five surnames and seven wangs, only a poor class waiting to dedicate themselves.

Li Shimin also attaches great importance to the development of the situation.

He also thought that there would be some big tremors, but he didn't expect that the truth would be better than he imagined.

On this day, Li Chengqian and Wu Zetian were discussing some state affairs in the back garden.

I saw Li Ke and Li Tai coming in a hurry.

"I've seen the eldest brother and the crown princess!"

The two saluted.

"What are you doing here?"

Li Chengqian asked.

"Big brother, I, Tai'er and Laiji, after research, have made more in-depth improvements to the steam engine, and applied it to the train, and now we have built a train, and I invite the eldest brother to go over and take a look!"

"Have you tried it?"

"I tried, and I built a twenty-mile-long circular railroad track!"

"Madam, come with this king to see?"

"The concubine listens to His Royal Highness the Prince."

Last time, I was riding a bicycle to carry Wu Zetian, but this time I was going to take her for a ride on the train.

"Okay, let's check it out!".

The points consumed during this period of time are not enough for him to use, and when he finishes taking the train, he must pack it again in front of Li Shimin, and by the way, let the citizens of Datang also witness it together.

So he took Wang Xuance, as well as Xue Rengui and Su Lie, and went to the Ministry of Science and Technology with them.
