Chapter 426: Wei Zhou

In Chang'an City, in the Lizheng Palace, there are four old men sitting in front of Li Shimin, the old men are already very old, and they all have a common identity, that is, the previous head of the family! These people stay in Chang'an City all year round, and the current head of the family is in charge of his own family!

The same is true of the Li family and the Cui family, but from the first moment they received the news of the rebellion of the two families, all the families of the two families in Chang'an, and even their family members, were arrested and strictly guarded!

At this time, there were only six people in the Lizheng Palace, the Qinghe Cui family, the Fanyang Lu family, the Taiyuan Wang family, and the previous head of the Xingyang Zheng family, and the remaining two were Li Shimin and Wang Xi. The hall was empty, it was getting late, and the lighting in the hall could only rely on the faint light of candles.

In the past, the Lizheng Hall was brightly lit even at night, and there were almost no dim situations like this, which Li Shimin deliberately ordered to be dimmed in order to set off the atmosphere.

The four masters in the room were all quiet and silent, Li Shimin sat directly opposite them, his eyes narrowed slightly, and in the fragrance on the side, he didn't know what spices were burning, which made people feel a little drowsy and comfortable.

After a long time, Li Shimin said: "What happened to the Li clan of Zhaojun and the Cui clan of Boling, you all know it", the four of them also nodded happily, if they say that they don't know about such a big thing, then they are undoubtedly bullying the king!

Li Shimin picked up the tea soup beside him and took a sip gently, looked at the four old masters and said, "Since everyone knows, then, make a statement!" ”

The Zheng family took the lead in standing up and said: "That kind of chaotic ministers and thieves, my Zheng family is not with them!" The other three families did not speak quietly, their eyes looking at each other.

Seeing this, Li Shimin snorted coldly and said: "At this time, are you still thinking about sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight? The three of them glanced at each other, and the Lu family's family took the lead in saying: "Your Majesty, forgive me, it's not that we don't take a stand, but that the combined forces of the Li family and the Cui family are 100,000!" The imperial court is naturally not afraid, but we, we ......"

The head of the Lu family stopped talking here, and Li Shimin heard the meaning of his words clearly. After Li Shimin sneered twice, he said: "Are you afraid of his rebel coalition army, aren't you afraid of my Huanghuang Wang Shi!" ”

When the head of the Wang family heard this, he sighed and said: "Your Majesty, it is true that our Wang family is a family of inheritance, but my family has always been a heirloom of poetry and books, and this, this will not help the imperial court", Li Shimin sneered again, looked at several people and said: "I will tell you clearly!" Don't look at the Li family and the Cui family, there are 100,000 people! It won't take me two months to destroy them! But I don't want someone to stab me when I'm charging! Do you understand? ”

Several people looked at each other again, and Li Shimin's words were very straightforward, that is, they didn't trust them, and they were afraid that after the army set off, these families would stab them in the back.

At this time, it was the head of the Zheng family who stood up first, and Lang Sheng said: "Your Majesty, although my Zheng family does not have any strong soldiers, there are still thousands of family guards!" In this kind of country, there are people who rebel! My Zheng family is willing to be a pioneer for Your Majesty! ”

The other three heads of the family all looked at the head of the Zheng family in some surprise, and said in their hearts, did this person bump into something unclean when he went out? Why do you look like Li Shimin is looking forward to it now?

Even they were wondering, did Li Shimin give him any benefits and have already bought him?

After Li Shimin heard the words of the head of the Zheng family, he laughed out loud, and said while laughing: "The Zheng family is really a supporter of my Li family!" Good! Now is the time to employ people, and I will not postpone it! After this incident, I promised that in the imperial examination, you Zheng family, I will relax the threshold! ”

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the other three families suddenly lit up! Imperial Examination, what is Imperial Examination? It's a straight road to heaven! Now Li Shimin is willing to relax the threshold, which means that there will be more and more scholars in the Zheng family, and there will be more and more people who will become officials in the future! In that case, the status of their Zheng family will naturally be as stable as Mount Tai!

What is important to the Maison? Inheritance!

After the remaining three families looked at each other, they all expressed their willingness to serve His Majesty!

Li Shimin laughed when he heard this, and said again and again, okay, did Datang send them this little force? Of course not! And Li Shimin also knew that these families would definitely not really want to help, and the soldiers they sent must be the kind of firehead soldiers.

But it's good that they can make their position clear, which is why Li Shimin is willing to put down his body and talk to them!

After the effect of the four family heads, the Lu family's family said: "Your Majesty, this imperial examination is originally a single-plank bridge, since our threshold has been relaxed, is it possible that someone's door has narrowed?" ”

Li Shimin looked at him, waiting for his next words, Li Shimin actually knew that since he had promised the family to relax, then he naturally had to compress the living space of the cold family, but these words could not be said in Li Shimin's mouth.

After thinking about it, the head of the Lu family said: "I heard that the Wushuang Marquis has made a library in Juxian County, which has countless books, and those poor children are like inexhaustible weeds, they can survive with a little bit of nutrients, and now that the Wushuang Hou has given them soil, I am afraid that His Majesty will relax the threshold in the future, and we will not be able to go well."

Li Shimin's eyes narrowed, looked at the head of the Lu family and said, "What? Isn't it delicious enough? Do I have to feed you to your mouth? The head of the Lu family shook his head with a smile, and while saying that he didn't dare, he looked at the other people with a glance.

Several people nodded tacitly, and even the Zheng family, who was standing behind Li Shimin, closed their mouths this time.

Li Shimin's eyes slowly turned cold, but his tone was still smiling and asked, "So what do you think?" The head of the Lu family smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the Wushuang Marquis is the commander of the Hanmen, since it is said that the number of imperial examinations in the Hanmen will be reduced, it is natural to start with the Wushuang Hou, what does Your Majesty think?" ”

Li Shimin's expression remained unchanged, and he said softly: "Keep talking", the head of the Lu family is not the kind of stunned green, feeling that Li Shimin is already a little angry, he glanced at the head of the Wang family next to him, and motioned for him to continue.

The head of the Wang family gritted his teeth and said softly: "We think it's better for the library to close early!" ”

Li Shimin smiled when he heard this, he had already guessed this result a long time ago, Su Bai let all the children of the poor family go to the library to read books, undoubtedly digging into the corners of their families, and it was understandable that they couldn't sit still.

However, understanding is understanding, but it does not mean that Li Shimin wants to compromise! Because when the academy was being built, Li Shimin had already promised Su Bai that no one in this academy would interfere! And of course himself!

Li Shimin shook his head lightly and said: "It is impossible to let Wushuang Hou close the library, I have promised him before, I will not interfere in anything that happens in the academy, I am the son of heaven, I can't be untrustworthy!" ”

After several old family owners looked at each other again, the head of the Lu family got up and said: "Your Majesty, since you can't close the library, then the old man and the others don't force it, but this unparalleled Marquis of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce has robbed our family's voice in many places, and even suppressed the market!" I hope Your Majesty can stop it! ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he finally nodded slightly, and then said, "I can promise you!" ”

"And one last point"

"And?" Li Shimin's voice was cold and piercing, and he felt that these old things in front of him were a little kicking their noses and face!

Several people also heard that Li Shimin's tone was a little bad, but they still gritted their teeth and said: "I hope that Your Majesty can let the Wushuang Marquis stay in Juxian all the time!" Li Shimin stared at a few people and said: "The few conditions you mentioned are actually around this peerless marquis!" How? Has this Peerless Marquis already violated your bottom line? ”

A few people secretly slandered themselves, and said in their hearts, this unparalleled marquis was cultivated by you, and you didn't know who you were dealing with?

Li Shimin already knew the result by looking at their expressions, and after laughing lightly, he said, "Yes!" ”

......

Early the next morning, Su Bai received the holy decree in the academy, and the holy decree said that now there are people who are rebelling, and His Majesty the academy values it very much, and ordered Wushuang Hou to guard the academy, without Li Shimin's decree, Su Bai must not take a step out of the academy!

The first moment he heard the news, Su Bai's face turned extremely blue! He knew that someone must be doing something! In the afternoon of the same day, Su Bai already knew the cause and effect of this incident.

When he heard that this was a small trick made by the four great families, Su Bai laughed instead, the transaction between the four great families and Li Shimin is nothing more than seeking skin with the tiger, after really dealing with Li Cuiliang and the two families, will Li Shimin let them go?

Thinking of this, Su Bai felt a little funny, okay, let's make you proud for two days first!

......

Su Bai is not the most troublesome person, the most troublesome people are Cheng Yanjin and Qin Qiong! This was originally a war that the two had been looking forward to for a long time, but as soon as they were about to go out, they asked Li Shimin to pass it back, and when they returned to Chang'an, they found that they had changed from the commander to the deputy marshal, and Cheng Yanjin blew up at that time!

was about to enter the palace directly and find Li Shimin to theorize, but in the end he let Qin Qiong stop him, Qin Qiong thought about it, and then understood the cause and effect of the matter, shook his head at Cheng Yanjin and said: "Your Majesty, this is balance"

Cheng Biting Jin's brain turned very fast, and when he heard the words, he figured out the cause and effect of the matter, but he was still a little angry, so he took off his helmet and threw it out!

Cheng gritted his teeth and said, "When is this!" The ordinary people of Zhao County are still waiting for us to come to the rescue! If this is delayed for one day, I don't know how many people will suffer one more day! ”

Qin Qiong shook her head with a wry smile and said, "Zhijie, these are not things we can call the shots."

After the Cui family raised the anti-flag, they didn't know what agreement they had reached with the Li family, and it didn't take more than a month for them to converge! A whole army of 100,000 began to move! Look at their direction, it is Chang'an City! These people actually don't plan to encroach step by step, but want to capture the king directly!

Many spies from small countries around have left, they want to pass this important news back to China, the last time the Tang coup d'Γ©tat, the Turks let the Tang Dynasty sign the Weishui Alliance! This time, the scale is also not small, maybe you can too?

Especially those Tubo people and Goguryeo people, they felt that this was simply a good opportunity from God!

Datang's Wang Shi also reacted as quickly as possible, and Datang sent a total of 140,000 troops! Along the way, they covered the sky and the sun and went towards each other! Judging from the current route of the two sides, the two sides will finally converge in Weizhou!

Finally, in April, the army finally came to Weizhou and successfully intercepted Li Cui's coalition army, but in the end it was a step too slow, and Weizhou fell!

Hou Junjin led the army to camp twenty miles away from Weizhou City, and the scouts scattered like a swarm of bees! The other party also does not dare to be presumptuous easily, the army of 140,000 people is exaggerated to the point that it is beyond measure! The barracks covered four mountains in a row!

The same is true for the other party, in the current Weizhou City, the people have already run away, and most of the remaining people are people who are unable to move, or have no relatives to defect, so they plan to wait for death at home.

The entire state of Weizhou was almost filled with an army of 100,000! If you appear outside the city now, you can see that on this majestic city, the soldiers are like small ants strengthening the defense of the city wall, and stones, rolling wood, hot oil, and other things appear on the city wall.

The trumpets of the soldiers could still be heard inside the walls, and it seemed that they were building something.

In the city's Thorn Mansion, this is the most luxurious mansion in the entire Weizhou, but now it is a mess inside, the original clean and tidy ground, now you can see a pool of blood. In the backyard, where the garden was originally located, there were corpses thrown away.

These corpses are piled up into a small mountain, and if someone with a poor mental capacity looks at it, it will definitely frighten them crazy!

The head of Weizhou Thorn Shi was encased in a bird cage and hung on the plaque at the main entrance, which looked so terrifying!

At this time, in the main room, Li Huaizheng and a beauty in one hand up and down, the two beauties were trembling with fright, tears flowed down their cheeks, but they didn't dare to cry, they still can't forget that yesterday because the one in front of them felt noisy, they threw a sister out to feed the dog!

They were all snatched by Li Huai on the way, there were more than 20 people at the beginning, but now there are less than 5 people.

There was a man sitting opposite Li Huai, about thirty-four or five years old, and he was also holding a beauty in one hand, this person was Cui Fengyan, the second master of the Cui family! The two who should have been as powerful as fire and water are now sitting at the same table.

Li Huai looked at Cui Fengyan with a smile and said, "Now that the army of the imperial court has arrived, how about it?" Any good ideas? ”

Cui Fengyan pushed the woman out of his arms, and then said: "......" Baibei will read the latest chapter of the "Datang Prestige System Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
